Pickax.

Five four, three, Michelle.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to episode 928 of the Video Game Outsiders podcast.

I'm with your host, Michelle Madison.

And I, of course, am your John Jacobson.

And joining us once again, Generation Rye. How's it going? It's going great. We've got a really exciting show tonight. We're going to talk about Arc Raiders. We have a big giveaway that we just got from Microsoft. Shout out to Xbox. We are giving away a year of GamePass. And Megan. Yeah. Yeah, and Phil, everybody over there at Microsoft. We're giving away a year of Game Pass Ultimate, which is now like what, like a $380 value. I think that's as like a $845 value. It's $300,000 Canadian dollars. So I'll set up that giveaway after the show. It's for a full year of GamePass Ultimate, which will work on Xbox and PC from Xbox. And it's going to go all the way until Thanksgiving. So you've got some time

to come down to our Discord on Video Game Outsiders.com and enter to win. The turkey will pick

the winner, or what are we doing? Yeah, we'll have to see. Or should Santa. We're off. We're

off that week. Well, for Christmas, we have a chair to give away.

But our last show this month is the 18th. No. Pretty nice. Well, we'll pick it in Discord for Thanksgiving the week. We're off because you and I always do a phone show that week for bonus subscribers. So if you want to support us, you can get the 20-year-back catalog, the weekly bonus shows and shows on the weeks were off, which will happen this month.

And you can do that at Video Game Outsiders.com through Supercast, where you can listen to our shows in any player of choice now. Apple Podcasts, Spotify. How do they do that, John? That's right. Go to our website at Video Game Outsiders.com. When you get there, there is a red dripping premium button.

Click it, lick it, slam it.

Do whatever we need to do.

Go to the next page and sign up and join Club VGO.

Once you all remember, you unlock our entire bat.

I'll go have 20, over 20 years now at this point.

Yeah.

It's fucking bonkers.

Almost 20 and a half already.

Yeah. And you did a John show today where you walk around. I did a John show today. So there's bonus shows every week, every single goddamn week. And then also the back catalog. And you can listen anywhere. You want to use Spotify? Go for it. And Scooby to support the show. We're ad free right now. So we're hoping to push listener support.

So thank you to those who have signed up.
