  • Mailbag (sandwich + game pairings, writing cover features, console launches, other nonsense)

    Mailbag (sandwich + game pairings, writing cover features, console launches, other nonsense)
    May 2 2025

    It's time for another round of listener questions as we each recover from the 50 hours of games we played for last week's episode.


    Did anyone need 100 minutes of mailbag questions? Probably not, but as ever: it happened.


    Note: we recorded this week's episode before the Polygon and Giant Bomb layoffs if the tone around the games media chatter seems off.

    Much to the chagrin of Matthew, who had to edit it, the four-person draft is back! This time, Samuel, Matthew, Ashley Day and Dave Scarborough are fighting over the best games on Xbox 360 (note: some of them may not be the best, but that's for you to decide).


    This week's music is from the Fable 2 soundtrack by Danny Elfman and Russell Shaw, plus the the Bayonetta soundtrack by Helena Noguerra, Bart Howard, as well as Norihiko Hibino, Takahiro Izutani, Masami Ueda, Hiroshi Yamaguchi, Rei Kondoh, Takayasu Sodeoka, Erina Niwa, Yoshitaka Suzuki and Naoto Tanaka.
