Okay, first off—Great song to start the show.  Hilarious lyrics.  Also, yay…Nick was on the show!

The ending song?  Best one I’ve heard so far.

Oh man, talking about those off-the-wall sports game reminded me of The Bigs. That's the only sports game in my library. Fun times.

Does Nick have a super nice mic or something? His voice was extra clear and smooth.

When I saw Horizon the first thing I though was Assassins Creed, I'm super surprised more people didn't make that comparison first. The first thing you see in the demo is the player sneaking into bushes, so clearly stealth will be a signigicant part of the gameplay design and levels, and it'll be more like the AC style of stealth where you hop into foliage all the time. People seem to only remember the battle with the big robot but since I'm a big stealth person the most significant thing I saw was the sneaking around, and that's the first thing you see in the gameplay. It seems like it could be an interesting mix between Assassin's Creed, the bow action of the newest Tomb Raider, and some Monster Hunter.

I don't play Final Fantasy, but if they remake FF7 and it ends up looking cool, and actually comes out someday I might look into it. At this point that project is clearly just a short trailer and a device to temporarily spark up a lot of good will with fans. Once that thing is an actual game with stuff to show I wonder what it'll be like and how people will react.

It's really nice to see Microsoft pulling punches and making a comeback, best of all it's awesome to see that the people who are in positions of the most power are listening to fans and correcting the course of XB1 so quickly. That console is night and day from where it was suppose to be when it was announced initially. It's insane to see such a large corporation fundamentally change things so quickly and be out there hungry to earn good will and compete. PSN is clearly still king but XBL is doing the same thing PSN originally did and it's slowly getting better and increasing its value over time. I agree with Julian in the previous episode that the tables have clearly turned this gen in an interesting way, and XB1 is getting on track much faster than PS3 did before it became great.

I want to save up money for a PS4 so that I can buy it this fall and grab MGS V and Fallout 4. Those are the only two games I really need this fall. I'm surprised there weren't any MGS or Fallout console bundles announced at E3, I was really hoping for that.

Now that we have the NX reveal to look forward to next year I'm super excited to see what Nintendo does next, and sadly enough, even though WiiU has a few games I'd want to play, I'm at the point where I'd rather wait to see what the next console is all about. Who knows, Zelda might end up being a cross-gen game like Twilight Princess was. I kind of doubt it, but I'd rather wait to see NX still.

I want to get an XB1 eventually, like how Julian eventually got a PS3, because XB1 looks like it's totally worth having. And the backwards compatibility will ensure that the majority of my 360 library won't go to waste if my 360 ever dies. This is the kind of generation where it hasn't been beneficial to side with one company over another. They're all doing some great stuff. And you guys are practically there already, the only console Julian and Angelo are missing is an XB1 so the stance we had at the very beginning of the generation where we were only going to buy one and focus on it is all but out the window already.

I'm still planning to build a pc for when I leave for college so that I can code on it, so the majority of my gaming in the next few years will probably be on PC. I want to buy the PS4, XB1, and maybe the NX if it's cool, but even as awesome as they all are they'll all be collecting dust to an extent.
