The Q&As are some of my favorite content they put out. Such chill vibes, it's the perfect background noise for chilling in bed.
I was thinking about my TLG playthrough and one thing I remembered doing a lot was rewarding Trico by petting him whenever he did what I asked. Not sure that's something built into the game to make it "easier" to control him (not unlike the horses in BOTW), or have him lead the way more than you forcing it, but it is something I made a conscious decision to do and I had very little issues with him. He was very pleasant and I loved the thrill of sitting on his back while he scaled up and down platforms.
Wow I'm an hour in and I never noticed this. Good catch.
I kept waiting for them to mention them but they never did lol. Nice little upgrade.

Ooo. That's very cool. I kinda assumed that something like this was built in since there was so much gameplay revolving around helping Trico, rather than yourself, it had to mean more than just being a nice thing to do in between jumping.Trico has a built-in "trust barometer" and will eventually respond faster to commands if you spend more time petting, cleaning wounds, removing arrows, feeding optional barrels. Basically investing in Trico's needs and putting those above rushing onward will give the optimum results, the whole game is built around this idea of give and take. Ueda spoke about this in the Future Press book, I believe, that how well you treat Trico carries over to NG+ somewhat. It's definitely been my experience that catering to Trico on my first playthrough made certain areas quicker, especially when it comes to Trico dispatching sentinels.
Can we get the Tabletop Folks to take a break from DnD next season and play Cyberpunk 2020? I bet Ian would be up for it, not sure about the others.
IGN just did one but it won't be ongoing.
Only if the reason they play it is because Main Character Pompey is thrust forward in time.
Man, does anyone else feel that eating right sometimes can jump you through some hoops?
Ask Joey, it's gonna be ok.I dunno dude, vegetables taste bad. Apparently they're good for you, and I think that's true, but I'm getting by without them and I guess that's kinda sad.

Nintendo doesn't like Youtube channels which are not 100% focused on Nintendo (they have their weird program for those channels). That said, I have seen some other channels which aren't 100% Nintendo focused and which did get a review up today (one of those people said he was playing it for a week or so), so I am not sure why EZA didn't get a review copy. It doesn't make sense to me either. I do believe the one I watched is a Canadian channel (which is multiplatform), so I guess there are less somewhat bigger Canadian Youtubers in comparisson to US ones and maybe Nintendo Canada has different rules for this compared to Nintendo USA.Have been reading and watching some of the Octopath Traveler reviews and find myself feeling a bit empty because of the absence of the Easy Allies review. On the plus side, when I get to see Ben's review I will already be quite deep into the game, but on the negative side, Easy Allies should be getting the views now while the game is fresh. It chafes a little that nearly every site in Europe has been able to put up a review along with the big American sites. Given the positivity that Easy Allies have always shown to Octopath Traveler I can't really see a reason why Nintendo wouldn't issue them a review copy. Hope Nintendo take the blinkers off and that this situation is sorted out soon.
Nintendo locked down a bit since some things happened last fall. We're still getting copies, but most of the time not early copies. It hasn't been too much of an issue this year, but Octopath Traveler is one that I think we should have had sooner so I raised the issue with their PR team. They're looking into it, but for now we'll just have to wait and see and keep trying.Nintendo doesn't like Youtube channels which are not 100% focused on Nintendo (they have their weird program for those channels).

I quickly played an hour, but because my back is killing me (I woke up with a sore back and it got worse through the day) and I took some painkillers (which I honestly don't like using at all), I am way too tired to go on at the moment. I only started the Demo yesterday and didn't finish my 3 hours (I was 2 hours in), so I only played as much as I could have done with the demo, but it seems great from what I have played so far.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that whole thing that happened last year.Nintendo locked down a bit since some things happened last fall. We're still getting copies, but most of the time not early copies.

Let's hope they can give you guys a review copy as fast as possible as it seems to be quite a long game from what I have read.

It's specifically an issue with NoA so that's why outlets in Europe haven't had issues getting review copies early (as far as I'm aware).
Ah! Thanks.Yeah, it was an incident where somebody from North America who got a review copy leaked that review copy online and Nintendo punishing North American outlets for it.
I am not sure how much they are still doing this, but apparently they still do to some extent.
Yep. This week's was the funniest.Has anyone noticed that Huber's book in the opening sequence is different in every episode?
Wasn't that Jones?You guys remember when Kyle figured out The Fractured But Whole pun after like 24 hours? Good times.
Can someone explain to me the outside of ten years line about Mulan? Straight up don't get it.

Mulan is an old movie at this point. It did not come out in the last 10 years. In that sense, Ian is realizing how old he is and how time comes for us all.
Between Kyle breaking during And For That Reason and Don at the beginning of the podcast, I am fucking dying.
He also seems to be getting more dementedHas anyone noticed that Huber's book in the opening sequence is different in every episode?
