Listener Questions
#1 Kingdom Hearts Fan
Hey there, #1 Kingdom Hearts fan reporting in! How many heartless wud it take to fit a football stadium? Preparing for the super bowl and need some snaks. I think I'll get the flamin hot cheetos but they make me fart. Laters!
Sabrina Rei
Have you ever played a game that prompted a change in your lifestyle? (eg. Ecco the Dolphin made you stop eating canned tuna fish, lol I dunno.)
Wes Bates
Simple question – what game has your favorite UI or HUD and how would you like to see games utilize their UI/HUD differently than the standard, boring life bar, ammo count or mini-map?
#1 50 Cent Blood on the Sand fan
It’s almost the 12th anniversary of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.
 What do you think the chances are of @THQNordic
 bringing back one of the best co-op games of 2009 with a remaster or port?
Steven Beaumont
Who is your favourite RE character and why is it Jill, Ada or Leon?
#1 Turner and Hooch Fan
Hey fellers, just letting you guys know I dumped my entire life savings into GameSpot stock. I'm gonna buy millions of copies of Turner and Hooch.
...Oh yeah, a question? Uhhh fuck I dunno, are you scared of spelling bees? I'm scared of the ones that sting personally.
