So, fellow gamers, and welcome to the video gamers podcast.

Mix tape released to wild acclaim and internet debates.

But what's the real story behind this nostalgia-fueled coming-of-age story?

Is it as good as scores would have you believe?

Or is it really just a movie that's masking itself as a game?

Well, we've played it and we've got the details you need. But before we get to

that, some introductions are in order. I am your host Josh. And joining me, he was once known

as PeePants Ryan in grade school, but then he worked his way into that high school cool phase. It's Ryan.

You know, bro, I'm just like, just trying to like save the environment. You know, like,

you just got to, you just got to go where you go. It's called the free pee. Free pee. Free pee.

No? You guys don't free pee pee. Like, come on come on. Not free peeing. Oh my gosh. Although that's a, that got me pretty good. That's a felony. That was that was not bad. Oh, man. And joining us. His parents were totally not cool and enrolled him in a cult,

but he broke free and now he's living the good life of a gamer.

It's Ace.

Bro, you totally just gave way all my lore.

Like, Ace is Cassandra.

All my mystery.

And I'll never forget this at one point, one of my very good friends who hadn't met Stu, like we came together as a friend group because we were going to a party or something. And I was like, you know, hey, Mike, this is stew, stew, this is Mike, and Mike looks over at Stu and he's like, isn't that a thick soup?

Like, because his name was Stu? like, you know, hey, Mike, this is stew, stew, this is Mike. And Mike looks over at stew and he's

like, isn't that a thick soup? Like, because his name was stew. And then I was just like, that's all I remember from this. It was the dumbest memory ever, but it was just like, he's like, isn't that a thick soup? And I just remember losing it and cracking up. And that's how these two friends of mine that's so dumb that's a good description of a stew though like that's a thick

suit it is like it is because that's what he's like I'm
