What's up everybody welcome to IZine Game Scoop. I'm your host Damon Halffields. Good to be back after a couple weeks off.

But Tina Amini is joining us this week and Tina thank you so much for stepping in to host the show in my absence.

You always do a phenomenal job. Good to have you back Damon.

Thank you. We're also joined by Sam Claibord. Good to be here.

And Justin Davis. Scoop. So you can see I'm here in the studio in our LA office.

I had a couple of shoots to pick up this morning for the show that I have been shooting over the past couple weeks.

You'll be able to see the fruits of our labor is about a month or so. Please be excited.

But we have a great show for this week. This is episode 666 finally the podcast.

And the podcast of the beast. That's a pretty fitting time for our recurring segment real mature video game.

Oh, no. No, we'll be revisiting that and then we have some emails about some cursed games like Elder Dring Friday the 13th the game.

But first I feel like there's lots of games. Yeah, yeah. But first.

There's lots of games we need to catch up on. There's just been an avalanche of games coming out.

Lots of new games. Good stuff. All good stuff. And I'm playing several of them.

But first I'm still playing. Verizon for Ben West. I'm ready to finish it.

I think I think I'm on the mission that's like, okay, this is the final mission.

So I'm not doing any more side quest. However, I do want to upgrade all my weapons before I go into the final thing.

And that's, you know, I still like it. It can be a little tedious because you have to like if it's a hunting job, you have to like go find where the owl is.

You have to sneak up on the owl can't get too close. And then when you finally like shoot in harvest the owl, the owl may or may not have the feather that you need to upgrade.

So I think good as those owls just like walk around the forest floor like.

Oh, yeah.

They do, but you got to like wait for them to respawn on a couple of moments. So you end up just like walking in circles for a while.

That's another part of it is you have to actually, if they're not around, you just have to like walk around until they actually spawn in front of you.
