From Paint Store Palate to Zombie Kicks: A Gaming Adventure with George and Bobby

Gear up for an eclectic journey through the whimsical to the profound with your hosts George and the ever-charming Bobby . This week, we're dishing out an episode that'll have you chuckling as we reminisce about the curious transformation of a New York paint store into a culinary hotspot and delve into the curious case of Jackie's unexpected exit from Trestles. But it's not all nostalgia and mystery; we've got a hearty serving of gaming glory with a victorious platinum run in Dead Island 2 and we discuss the undeniable allure of zombie drop-kicking.

Bobby and I then set our sights on the horizon of handheld gaming, exchanging fiery opinions on the potential Game Pass debut of Call of Duty and the whispered rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2. Could a Nintendo-themed Steam Deck revolutionize how we play our favorite titles? We dissect the possibilities. Plus, we get all starry-eyed over the prospect of a Legend of Zelda live-action movie, debating whether it should don the haunting beauty of '80s fantasy or stride along the epic path akin to Middle Earth. We even tackle the tricky business of adapting beloved games to the silver screen with the finesse they deserve.

As we wrap up this episode, we steer the conversation toward our personal gaming preferences, expressing our longing to dive into rich, cultural stories like "Rise of Ronin" with authentic voice-overs. We share laughs over our RGT Fan Club’s peculiar discussions—from shoulder appreciation to cling film shenanigans—and Bobby's infectious New York vibe that's become a beacon for our podcast family. Rest assured, by the time the credits roll on this episode, you'll feel like part of the gang, having ridden shotgun through our fifth year of gaming banter, heartfelt camaraderie, and the occasional train enthusiast confession.
