Same to you, mate.

War Dogs - 8/10

Kirby and The Forgotten Land is absolutely incredible. It's funny because there's usually one or two Kirby games per Nintendo console that I always love. You should've seen me in the bank today, lol.

World music offers such rich diversity, but there are so many genres I feel like I haven’t fully explored. Whether it’s Afrobeat, Tuvan throat singing, or traditional Balkan folk, there’s so much to discover! What world music genre are you curious to dive deeper into and why? Any favorite artists or albums you'd recommend to get started?

R&B has evolved so much over the years, with many artists combining classic soul elements with modern production techniques. Whether it's the smooth vocals with electronic beats or the fusion of live instruments with synths, there's a lot of innovation happening. How do you feel about this mix of old-school vibes and contemporary styles? Does it feel like a natural progression, or do you think it's losing something essential in the process?

Whether it’s the lyrical complexity, rhythm, or the storytelling, there's something unique about these styles. Do you prefer it when a song leans heavily into spoken verses, or do you find it breaks up the flow of music too much?

I recently gave an album a second chance after not vibing with it the first time. To my surprise, I ended up loving it. The songs I found annoying at first suddenly clicked, and I noticed so many subtle details I missed before. Has anyone else experienced this? Which albums did you initially dislike but later ended up loving? What changed for you?

Do you believe music transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries, connecting people from different backgrounds and experiences? While certain melodies or rhythms may evoke similar emotions, can music truly be understood and appreciated universally, or is its meaning always influenced by personal and cultural context?

There are so many incredible film festivals out there, each offering unique experiences and showcasing amazing talent. Whether it’s Sundance, TIFF, Cannes, or something more niche, I’d love to hear about your favorite! What makes it stand out to you? Specific films you’ve discovered, the atmosphere, or maybe the overall vibe of the festival?

We all have those classic films from the '70s, '80s, or '90s that we still love today. Which one do you think deserves a modern sequel or continuation? Whether it’s because the story was left unfinished, the characters still have potential, or you just want to see how they would handle today's tech and culture, let’s hear your thoughts.

Whether it's iconic quotes, memes, or nods in other media, some TV shows have truly cemented their place in pop culture. For me, The Simpsons stands out, with its countless references across movies, music, and even other TV shows.

With so many classic TV shows getting reboots or revivals lately, I’m curious to hear others’ thoughts on this trend. Do you think it’s a good idea to bring back old favorites, or do you prefer they stay as they are? Are there any shows you’d love to see revived, or any that should’ve stayed in the past? What makes a revival successful or a total misfire for you?

Back To The Future - I've probably watched that trilogy almost every year of my existence. It, Home Alone, and Honey I think I shrunk the kids have all been timeless series I watch every year.

Phil Spencer recently mentioned wanting someone at Xbox to make a new Hexen game, but what about all the other iconic, dormant IPs in the Xbox library? From MechAssault to Blinx the Time Sweeper, there are plenty of classics that deserve some love too. Why focus on just one when there’s a treasure trove of untapped potential? What other forgotten gems would you like to see revived under Xbox’s watch?

With the rise of battle royale and open-world games, do you think a new MechAssault game could bring Xbox back to the forefront of gaming? The original MechAssault series was a fan favorite for its unique blend of fast-paced action and strategic mech combat. With today's tech and a fresh take, could it be the success Xbox needs? Or are we past the golden age of mech-based shooters? What are your thoughts? Would a MechAssault revival be a hit or miss for the platform?

I’ve been reminiscing about the good old days of the Original Xbox, and one game that always stands out is Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge. The arcade-style dogfights, steampunk setting, and over-the-top action were so unique for its time. Does anyone else remember playing this gem? What were your favorite moments or missions from the game? Is there any hope for a modern revival, or did it stay as a nostalgic relic of the past?

As Xbox continues to evolve, many fans feel their relationship with the brand has fluctuated over time. From exclusive content to communication strategies, what are some ways Xbox could strengthen its connection with its community? Would improved transparency, more fan involvement, or changes in game offerings make a difference?

We all know Nintendo’s iconic characters and franchises, but what aspect of their legacy do you think gets the least attention? Whether it’s their innovation in game design, hardware, or contributions to the gaming community, there’s so much more to their impact than just Mario and Zelda. What part of Nintendo's history or influence do you feel is underappreciated or forgotten?

Xbox Game Pass is a great deal for gamers, but it can be frustrating when titles leave the service. Does the removal of games after a certain time affect your experience? Do you feel it’s fair considering the cost of the subscription, or does it impact your decision to keep playing or subscribing?

With the rise of digital platforms and remakes, do you think Nintendo has effectively preserved its retro game legacy? While we have access to titles through services like the Nintendo Switch Online library, some fans argue it's not enough. Are they doing enough to keep these classics alive, or is there more that could be done whether it's in terms of preservation, accessibility, or quality? What do you think?

Star Fox was once a beloved series, but it seems like Nintendo has completely left it behind. The last major release, Star Fox Zero, didn't exactly live up to expectations, and we haven't heard much since. With the Switch focusing on other franchises, it feels like Star Fox has been put on the back burner. Do you think Nintendo has forgotten about this iconic space shooter, or are they just waiting for the right moment to bring it back?

I recently revisited the Warlocked games, and it made me wonder how they’ve held up over the years. For those who played it back in the day, do you think the series deserved more attention? How does it compare to other RTS games on the Game Boy Color? Personally, I think it was ahead of its time for handheld strategy games. Anyone else feel the same, or have any fond memories of the Warlocked series? Would you have liked to see more games from this franchise?

Kirby games are usually a blast with their charm and gameplay, but I’m wondering if they can keep up the same magic after the success of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Do you think this new title will bring anything fresh or stick to the formula?
