  1. Hi Guys.
    Thanks for this episode, even if i am not so much into Resident Evil, it was interesting to listen to your thoughts about it 🙂
    I played the last RE on PS4 … it was 7? Dont know exactly 🙂
    I finished Hollow Knight, Detroit Become Human and Monsterboy and the cursed Kingdom … made it to 97% without any walkthroughs 🙂 Yesterday i started with Kingdom Hearts 2.5 because i want to play through this until i start KH 3. And of Course: a lot of Magic The Gathering Arena!
    What do you guys think about all these new-old games coming out besides RE? Like Monsterboy or all these HD Remakes of this and that? Do you like it or do you like the original feeling of the old games and do you want to play only graphical blasts in 2019 (like Last Of Us 2, Anthem and such Triple A titles)?
    For your question of the week: i want a remake of Metroid (the original one on NES and Super Metroid for SNES) as well or some GameBoy Games like Gargoyles Quest or Simons Quest 🙂
    There are some Non-Video Games from my childhood (C64 and Amiga) i would love to see as a remake: Apydia, Turrican, Moonstone, New Zealand Story or Baldurs Gate. On the other side maybe these games were good back in the days but would not be good anymore today even with better graphics? 🙂
    Please stay as you are and keep going with the good work.
    Greetings from germany,
    Ralf
