Good Day Allies, I am reliving a major nostalgia moment right now. All because I was able to buy a unopened greatest hits release of Final Fantasy X from Square enix themselves. And here is a link. https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/281274/final-fantasy-x-ps2 What game would make you the most excited to find that you can buy an original copy for original hardware from the original producer?

Hello everyone! I've found myself in a bit of a small window of time between finishing a replay of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (and reading the new follow-up novel Battle Scars) and the release of Horizon: Forbidden West's DLC, Burning Shores, so I've decided to do some little odds and ends to fill the time. One of those being attempting getting an S-rank on Inferno difficulty in the Resident Evil 3 Remake (Meaning I couldn't save more than 5 times while beating the game in less than 2 hour, all the while with stronger enemies and different placement of said enemies and items). This was only possible for me loading up on Defense Coins and having the Infinite Rocket Launcher, but it had me wanting to ask you: What are some of your favorite ways to fundamentally "break" a game? Is it equipping yourself to be as OP as possible, or messing with the settings to be nigh invincible? And what games do you feel are the best in releasing the shackles and encouraging to go have mindless fun with little consequence? Thanks for taking this submission if you do and stay Easy fellow Allies!

Salutations Allies, Malenia (the Blade of Miquella) is no longer content with just causing 6% of all deaths in Elden Ring and is invading other games. Which game would you challenge her in? Note she will Waterfowl Dance you no matter the game so unless you are confidence in your driving skills, I wouldn't recommend Mario Kart. Love and respect, y2kyle89

April 11 was Jason “The Whoaj” Wojnar’s birthday. If you didn’t know, he is a world-ranked Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater player. To me, that means he’s no fun to play against, but he’s also amazing to watch, like watching Bob Ross turn blank canvas into a sweeping landscape. When the war is over, we’re all invited to a party at his house in Ukraine. BYOB.

Love and Respect: Hey Allies, Quick question for Michael Damiani. What is the Damiani cheese? I have some idea of what it entails but I feel like I'm missing context here. Just wondering how the phrase started and maybe some examples of your notorious cheese? Thanks, Chris Eyerly

Hello, Allies! I’ll make it brief; with all of the high profile AAA games being released this year, could this possibly be the best year in gaming history? The potential is staggering, and the vastness of game releases is coming right after the past few years of stagnation, thanks to supply and work shortages due to the pandemic. We went from waiting desperately for Elden Ring and Ragnarok, to almost being over saturated with everything we want! The Game Awards are going to be absolutely insane! Love and respect forever

G'day Allies With all the success with high profile remakes of already Successful games such as RE4 and Dead Space, what are some flops you'd like to see remade? Something that failed at their initial release that you'd like to see be given another chance in a new way. For example I'd like to see Aliens Colonials Marines be remade as a psychological survival horror. Thanks for the last 7 years I'll be dropping my patreon as I'll be returning to my home country, but as soon as I'm stable back home, I'll be back here for you all. Take it easy allies Ty

The general purpose hacker device Flipper Zero can (Among other things) be used to spoof Amiibo, basically there's an open source bit of code made for it, that allows it to act as any/all Amiibo. Is this something you'd ever use to access content in games that require a certain (no longer available) Amiibo? If this kind of thing becomes commonplace could you see it effecting Nintendo's Amiibo strategy? Would you consider this to be piracy/theft?

Hi Allies! With the success of the recent remakes of Resi 4 and Dead Space, the industry’s focus on remaking games doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. Yet while companies are understandably keen to only remake celebrated games from years gone by, wouldn’t it be interesting if they decided to remake a game that didn’t entirely succeed when it was released? While I certainly can’t argue that it was a misunderstood classic, I’ll always have a soft spot for The Order 1886. Even though it didn’t really come together successfully, there’s just something about the world, the lore and the characters that makes me feel there could be something spectacular there if given another shot. Making the werewolves act like something out of Bloodborne and introducing combat like in the Arkham games always seemed like a cool mix. Do the Allies have any ideas on potentially cool remakes of games that didn’t entirely work when they were first released? How would they be different? Love & Respect, NateDrake83

Hi Allies, I was watching your Spring Game Preview and noticed you skipped over a pretty notable game- Honkai Star Rail. Considering this is miHoYo's follow up to Genshin Impact (a game that was/is massively successful), I would have thought there would be much more buzz about the game coming out in 2 weeks. Do you think the game is being overlooked because the primary platform it's coming out on is mobile? Regardless of platform the game obviously has very high production value and is likely to be a big hit given the track record of Genshin... if AAA mobile development is a thing- this game is definitely it. Do you think other potential AAA mobile games like Persona 5X or the Yoko Taro directed 404 Game Re:set are going to be largely overlooked as well because they're "phone games" first? Valiant Hearts: Coming Home was a follow up to a beloved Huber game... but with it being trapped on phones I don't think I've heard you guys talk about it at all. I know phone games were more of a Brandon and Ben thing... but just wanted to hear your thoughts on it, keep up the great work! L&R Ryan from VA
