What's up everybody welcome to Ijin games. I'm your host Daven Hadfield joining me this week are Sam Clayborn

Hey buddy Justin Davis scoop and sitting in for Teenage this week are good friend Seth Macy from the great state of Maine

Salutations welcome back Seth. Thank you. Always a pleasure. I've got a great show for you this week

It this week sees the return of our recurring segment real mature video games

We are gonna we're gonna flip through the 1993 electronic gaming monthly buyers guide and I've pre-heated and it's a really good one

But first

We have a quite a really good question from one of our listeners this week. So let's check in with the listeners

All right, yes, listen to remember you can always reach us at the email address

Gamescoop at ijin.com just like Justin did but I don't think it's the Justin that we're talking with right now

Are you sure this Justin says the other day?

I was looking at my switch profile where it shows the games you play and how many hours you played them and to my

Amazement I had clocked in well over 300 hours into stardew Valley

Got me thinking what makes us decide what our favorite games of all time are this is the most I believe I've ever spent on one

Video game time wise however when I'm asked what my favorite games of all time are I don't think I've ever said stardew

Valley so what makes us and more makes us and more importantly the scoop crew decide

What their favorite games are is it a game that you can zone out to

A game you spent a lifetime of hours playing something that just resonated with you at a personal time in your life or all the above

I'm interested to know what makes us choose the games we would choose to represent us

It's a good question interesting question

Yeah, I um know that it's for me a combination of how much I played it initially

Which usually like if I really like something I'll probably play it again right away or try to 100% or something like that

Going back to when I was a little kid
