Hi, it's Larry Herbexbox as major Nelson. Welcome to the show. Welcome to the official Xbox podcast as it is named in your Spotify and your Google and your Apple and all those places.

And here we go. I hit the button. Let's see what happens.

Ta-da! Oh, hey, it's Jeff. I'm back and don't think I didn't write down everything you said about me last week.

Can you give me like this? No, it burns the eyes. Oh, that's better. Thank you.

Need the blue, the cooling blue of a to set off the fiery orange and the two together form like a really great sort of like sort of.

I'll say you like this, your cute colors, man. All of a gator as well.

The colors are blue and orange. Yeah, it needs more blue.

You need the balance. Anyway, welcome. Welcome back. Jeff was out last week. I was just Rebecca and I holding down the fort and good to see you guys.

Good to see you guys. It was a good show. I want to say Rebecca, you were you were very good. And I really enjoyed the Tim Schaefer interview.

Thank you. Tim is very funny. So I just love that. I had a couple literal laugh out loud moments. So great job you guys.

And and while not only that, but you were in the show because you did the knockout city interview. So thank you for that interview as well.

Would you say I knocked it out of the park? Well, I'll say this. I will say this is, in fact, I will have to take my MVP role and give that to you.

We played. We played that. Thank you. You used Galaxy. I would have loved for that to have been grumpy ramen that we will get our our game in together. We'll get all three of us.

But Jeff, Jeff and Jeff and I had a chance to check it out. If you haven't had a chance to check it out. It's available on Game Pass now. Our Game Pass Ultimax is part of EA.

But so Jeff tell it tell me about your experience with it because I know we need to get Rebecca in.

I threw balls. I got hit by them. I hit other people. I caught them. It was dodgeball. It's actually it's got some really interesting mechanics like the key thing you need to know for this game is if there's the sort of this dash move.

And if you dash into someone and they're holding a ball, they will drop the ball. And so if it can get real messy, you know, if everyone's really close in together. And so it's funny.

We were just trying to figure it out. We lost about three matches that we won that final one. We're like, we're called a night here. But what was interesting is at one point because we had we just sort of left our party open and play with Larry when you play with Major Nelson that party fills up.

So very quickly filled out. We made a private room with some folks we didn't know. Right. And they were all joined in a crew, which is, which is not dangerous.

Like we're in trouble. And let me tell you we were in trouble. They we were seeing some advanced team mechanics because you can the ball comes in. You can catch it. If you're holding a ball, you can drop that one and catch it too.

But if a team is really well organized and someone hits you and then someone throws at the same time or three balls come in right in a row, like you're probably going to get taken out.

And so they were it was cool to see that. Yeah. I was going to ask what kind of strategy do you guys employ when you're playing this? Like, is it do you pick a person?
