  1. Hi Guys.

    Thank you very much as always for the episode. I appreciate the work you put into every episode every week, and i am sorry,
    that i can´t listenm to every episode as fast as i want to 🙁

    Regarding the topics:
    I played a lot of WoW (damn drug), amd since last week a loooot of MTG Arena, because the new set is out and its awesome 🙂
    In addition i played some Ori and The Will of the Wisp and a lot of Last of Us 2. And of course some rounds of Jackbox Party, which was really fun!

    Space Invaders:
    I grew up with this, it was my first game on Atari 2600 back in the 80s 🙂
    But paying so much money for a colored version … naaaarrr .. dont think so 🙂
    Maybe if it will come to steam and there will be a sale 🙂

    Gaming Flashback:
    I never even heard of the name of the game … mhmm .. strange. But Regarding Doom: i was not able to play it back in the 90s, because the sound made me sick, i mean really sick. These bass-like sound for a longer time, made me feel like i had to puke 🙁

    Shroud & Ninja & Mixer:
    These guys have enough money for the rest of their lives … so .. i dont care where they will go, they will have their fans anywhere 🙂
    I don´t like Mixer at all, can´t say why, but the “look and feel” is not mine. I can´t say how it was for the streamer, i am only telling my opinion as a viewer.
    The only time i go on mixer, is playing JackBox party with Jonah.

    SF5:
    I loved to watch Street Fighter Tournaments, expecially the EVO or Capcom Cup … i don´t think that the same feelings come over with a online stream. Sadly it´s the best thing they can do right now during this situation.
    And yes, SF4 was way more better than SF5 in my opinion!

    Thanks again, its always fun, listening to you gus, having fun and hearing your opinion on all these topics 🙂

    Stay healthy and i hope to hear from you next week.
    Greetings,
    Ralf
