Hello and welcome to Achievement Oriented Channel 33's Gaming Podcast.

My name is Ben Lindbergh, I'm a writer for the Ringer, and on the other line, he's usually

docked next to a TV, but he can operate outside for up to seven hours. It's my colleague Jason

Conceptsio, hey Jason. Well up to seven, but if you're running, let's say, the New Zelda,

it could be as few as three, but you can also, yeah, but you can also attach me to many aftermarket

on the show. I think that we have outdone all of them or our guests on the second half of this

episode might just be the best yet. He is the man behind the YouTube channel, how big is the map,

and his quest in life is to find out how long it takes to cross the maps of open-world games.

And he tells us why that is his quest and how he achieves it and whether he will ever actually

finish accomplishing it. It's a lot of fun, so stay tuned for that. But we have to talk about

the switch. So all the details are out now, all the important details. We know that it's coming out
