  1. Hi guys

    Thanks as Always 🙂
    I did Not Play that much Games besides hundreds hours of Parh of Exile 2 and I started Ender Lillie. Yesterday the new WWE 2K25 arrived and I will dive into that the next days. I still try to finish Hogwarts Legacy

    Regarding your topics: I like the awards, because I think that are all great games, even if I don’t play Rainbow six or Metaphor Refantasia (?). I watched as much as possible, and it’s interesting to see all the games.

    Next Xbox: let’s see what Xbox only titles will be released. I don’t get all the games done I already own and want to play, so I have to think twice to pick up another console 🙂

    Switch 2: I am more looking forward for this than the new Xbox (even if there are possible 2 years between). I like most of the Nintendo games, because they are easier, shorter and in my opinion most of their games are more casual and you can play for an hour and put it away for some days without forgetting everything.

    I played around a lot with my 3D printer, but I think that’s not gaming as meant in this podcast 🙂

    So keep the good work going!
    Stay healthy and I am looking forward to the next episode!
    Greetings.
    Ralf
