The Shane and Matt bromance at the beginning! ❤

[@suizideking7987]

I love it, bros for life!😎

[@Cfhx]

Poor you Shane, losing my iTunes library file would murder me. 21k of songs individually rated and dozens of dynamic smart playlists dependent on play counts, ratings and last played dates.

[@SinisterFlesh66]

Am I crazy, or did Matt not even whisper a 'thanks' for the gift?

[@andrebaptista8284]

I noticed that too. Same thing happened when Shane gave matt the ssd. I can be pretty awkward receiving gifts too.

[@RossMalagarie]

@@andrebaptista8284 even better a year later after Shane bought Mat the SSD when Shane bought mat another thing, Shane HAD STILL NOT INSTALLED THE SSD IN HIS PS5! 😂😂👌👌 To this day I believe Shane's give to Matt the 2TB SSD for his PS5 is still sitting in the box not installed in his PS5, over 2yrs later 😂😂👌👌

[@rismau83]

This was the best Xbox showcase I have ever seen. So many great games 🎉, and so many single player experiences! A+

[@Cinetyk]

Finally the Matt and Shane takes on lots of the presentations. I know you a terrible time with the Windows install, I hope things are sorted out by now.

[@ThatGuyXX7]

Good job, caralho

[@jameslawrence5828]

This was good episode. I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the episodes with Pachter and Marcus.

[@johnsoamm724]

thank you guys for the show!

[@MyxeQ]

it happens every Tuesday I get to watch the first half of game face live then I'm home with my kids. I did know Twilight princess first screenshot. but I'm way happier that it went to your technical angel of Mercy.

[@ThatGuyXX7]

Shane got one of them smelly plants for sure 😂 Elden Ring bro

[@david.9633]

Thanks for the great episode

[@pezbouy]

Another great episode thanks.

[@zoidberg79]

Great as always

[@godlewski47]

Great show! Matt and Shane are awesome! Thank you for your serviece! ;)

[@Lorondos]

Never had a good experience using an old install on new hardware and currently have had to parition my hard drive into two Windows installs because my insider install borked at some point and tried everything to fix it, gave up in the end. The next big push is going to be X86S from Intel, if that happens.

[@MdrnGmngScks]

On Zelda I agree there should be more combat options but not sure it should be the same as Link otherwise whats the point? I agree with Nintendo in using playable Zelda as an opportunity to shake things up, however just the echos feel very limited. Two options include: 1. Her alter-ego Sheik could necessitate a more stealth oriented gameplay, she always seemed a bit ninja in that alter ego. Maybe something taking a playbook out of Aragami. 2. More combat magic options like how you play Zelda in Cadence of Hyrule (minus the rhythm stuff). I personally would prefer the first option as I am a big fan of stealth games as the closest thing we have is AssCreed which are more typical Ubisoft Death By Waypoint games than anything interesting. But option 2 would make more sense, as we already have a Zelda game on the Switch where she utilises magic like an absolute badass. Edit: Can't beleive I almost forgot Princess Zelda's weapon of choice is most commonly is a bow, her archery skills were critical at the end of both Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Plus DKC Returns was never on Wii U, it got ported to 3DS from Wii and Tropical Freeze was ported to Switch many many years ago.

[@mikeclark4480]

Microsoft has been trying figure things out since 2010😂

[@jefflin1264]

what great show!

[@neojd]

Dope gift Shane. Shane describing his PC experience is exactly why the only PC gaming I do is on the Steam Deck. 😅 I’d agree with whoever commented that Zelda had a better showing than Indy and Avowed and I’m not even a Zelda fan. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SeaToSkyImages]

Fantastic gift, Shane! And I know you don't need to hear it from me, but stay far, far away from Elden Ring's DLC. I'm a huge FromSoft fan, and I'm just like, "WTF is this shit?" It's masochistic. Bosses that take 125 hits, but can kill you in 2. For the first time since playing Dark Souls, I feel like it's just too much.

[@David-uc6sg]

Nintendo direct was better than the Xbox Showcase for me 🤷‍♂️ Also saying Playstation has had nothing in the last 3 years is just flatout false.

[@blade5883]

Xbox showcase better
