0:00.0	Coming up on today's show, it's Starfield Time, everybody!
0:04.6	What's good, everybody, and welcome to another episode of the What's Good Games Podcast, your
0:31.8	source for video game news commentary, analysis, and funny stuff every Friday, except it's not Friday,
0:36.2	everybody, it's Thursday, August 31st, which means it's Starfield Day. That's right, the embargo for
0:42.7	review impressions has lifted for Bethesda Game Studios' RPG Extravaganza, which we're gonna get into
0:51.2	in just a moment, and we are just gonna focus on Starfield just for this episode, but before we get
0:56.6	into that, I'm Andrea Brunet. Hello, everybody. Glad to be here. I'm joined by Mrs. Rihanna
1:01.9	Manuel Pena. I actually played this game. All right, I'm so glad otherwise this conversation
1:08.6	will be very long and boring for you probably, and pretty prompokers also here. I am very
1:13.4	burpy today, but I'll try to keep it in just for y'all. You know, I believe in the wonders of editing

1:30.4	and true. We'll be doing our elite Patreon shout-outs in just a little while, so thank you so much to
1:35.3	everybody who supports our voices on Patreon and helps us keep the lights on. You can go get the
1:41.0	show at free there if you want. Speaking of ads, this show is brought to you by me and me
1:45.0	in Shopify, but I'll tell you more about that later. Brittany, what's another way that people
1:48.3	could maybe support the show if they don't have any dollars to drop on to Patreon? They could
1:52.6	leave us a nice shiny five star review on their preferred podcast platform of choice. I think
1:58.1	the Apple podcast one helps us out the most, but if you are a solo Spotify listener, I won't complain.
2:03.2	Please feel free to leave us a five star review. They help us out mouse and mooch-a-moss, but that's
2:08.0	grammatically incorrect in Spanish. Anyway, they help us out a lot. They get us in the top list,
