Ladies and just gentlemen

This is Gamer Tag Radio

Our welcome to episode 1497 here, almost episode 1500 here, Gamer Tag Radio.

This is your host, Danny Pena, and joining me for this special, special episode of Gamer Tag Radio, the one and only Tony Palanco from, from a throwdown show. I was going to say another show because we had a guest with Verbe here. Throwdown show and also writer at Tom's Guide. What's up, Tony? What's going on, Danny? How you doing, man? Glad to be on. I expect a spooky episode right now. I know, right?

I know.

And for those who don't know, by the time you listen to this,

this is the 21 anniversary of Gamer Tag Radio.

So happy, happy birthday to the podcast, 21 years.

And look, what a better way to have Tony to celebrate, right?

Yeah, I'll pick on that, bro. Like, congrats, man. That is a huge accomplishment, you know? I'm enjoying some of the, like, pictures who've been posting lately, you know, to celebrate. You know, so it's dope, man. Congrats to that. That's huge. Thank you, thank you, man. Yeah, it's just always mentioning this to people, man. like, yo, if I'm still having fun with this, I still want to continue, you know, we're going to have some guests, of course, always on the show. But just having the cool crew still recording, still debating, having our front time, you know. And also the community still listens to the show. So that's something that I'm really, really proud of, man.

So I can't wait for the future.

I got some, some cool stuff playing for. That's what's up. I'm always like that. Is that the new? What's up with you, Tony? What's up with the podcast, man? And also with Tom's Guide. Yeah, Tom's Guide's going good. you know, we're kind of restructuring a couple of things.

We're trying to be, it's kind of interesting because we're writers,

but we're trying to be a little bit more like influencers, not doing more video stuff because people kind of like that. Right now, I'm reviewing a bunch of laptops that have the latest Intel chip, which is crazy because it's a regular, it's supposed to be a regular chip, but it's powerful enough to actually play games on. So you don't need like a big beefy, like rig or whatever.

So it's kind of interesting. And then gaming, the first game I reviewed this year was

Dragon Quest, Reimagined, which is a lot of fun. And obviously, right now we're going to be

talking about another game. But yeah, things are going good at my end.

And also, I'm very glad that New York has thawed out because it has been very cold. As you know, Danny, when you came to visit us last month. It was brutal, man, brutal. Yeah, it was a good time. It was just too cold for me, man. It's been a while for me, you know. but for those who don't know, we're going to be reviewing Resident Evil Rankingham.

That's Resident Evil 9.

Shout out to Camcom for giving us the opportunity to get the game early. Paris was going to join this on this episode, but they sent out the PC version, I believe the Xbox version, a little bit later. Yeah. So Paris just got it. it wasn't enough for him to review it with us, but we got it early.

I got the Nintendo Switch 2 version and you got the PlayStation 5 version.

Yeah.
