Welcome to episode 954 of the Video Game Outsiders podcast.

I'm one of your hosts, Michelle Madison.

And I, of course, am your John Jacobson. And joining us once again, Michelle. The game store guy. Yes, I'm here. I'm here. I'm ready. Are you ready? My body is ready. A game store in Ohio. Now, we always check in with you, like, what's going on at your game store. Today, you posted a picture in our discord of a guy dressed as a ghostbuster.

I get. What happened there? Did you see a job? I don't know. I swear to God, I don't know.

There was something in the water today. The guy came in in full Ghostbusters gear and just he just

he's one of those guys. He didn't have many friends. He wanted to show off his Ghostbusters stuff and just he just he's one of those guys he didn't have many friends

he wanted to show off his Ghostbuster stuff and I was trying my best not to engage with

Was he pulling it off was it a good Ghostbuster yeah which one Bill Murray Dan Aykride

Egon he had his own name oh oh he had his name Is Ghostbusters still popular? Was he one of the women? Was he, uh, what was her name? Leslie Jones. There's like a whole, there's like a whole group of people that do this. And usually when you go to conventions, you see them and there's like a bunch of them running around and they throw traps down yeah

i mean he had the traps he had everything and i was trying not to engage was he larping like i got

a slimer over here i don't know what they're called was he scanning your place where those

those scanner devices he had the scanners yes but he was just trying to show off his stuff and you know you know, I was busy and I was trying not to engage with him. And my employee got stuck talking to him. And it was actually pretty funny because I could tell my employee was dying inside. I'm dying inside hearing about this. But we do have a very good show tonight, though, which we're not going to talk about Ghostbusters cosplay. We're going to talk about Forza. We're going to talk about Batman Legacy of the Dark Night, Sub-Nautica, a bunch of other big games, news toppings. Yeah, obviously, too. News toppings. Well, they were just... That sounds delicious. Well, yes, I'm kind of messed up. I'm reading chat. They're talking about the X-Men soft serve that makes ice cream out of her butt. Okay, so I'm a little messed up.

News toppings.

Well, we were talking about Batman, and someone was saying he's the lamest superhero. I'm like, no way, there's got to be a lame X-Men who can, like, melt ice and like Liz with his mom or something. But no, they're soft serve and she makes ice cream. That's her power. Is that real?

Yeah.

The internet said it was.

So.

Well, it must be true.

It must be true.
