Episode 208
Growing up gaming over the years, we have been through many memorable console and game launches. Today, we look back at some of the standout launches over the years and swap stories of how we obtained our precious toys. We also talk about how we successfully procured a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order, and the stresses associated with that process. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33). This episode was recorded in April 2025. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase (dylan.robert.chase@gmail.com).
