Summary

Find the full Resties Required Reading List at Besties.fan! We have finalized the Resties Required Reading List and we can’t wait to share the results! Our goal was to collect a list of 25 games — from Pac-Man to modern day, 1980 to 2020 — that will help our listeners better appreciate this wonderful medium. We believe these are the games that everyone who wants to have a fundamental appreciation of video games should play or watch. They’re the games that will, in ways big and small, give you a richer connection with every other game you play. Think of it like a syllabus for Video Games 101. Or as the 25 games we’d built a museum around. Or just as a guide on how to spend some of your holiday break! This episode is sponsored by HelloFresh.

0:42.1	Oh boy really Have you been
0:47.0	doing any shopping lately for let's say anime statues. No.
0:54.0	So for people who don't know at the beginning of every year,
0:58.0	fresh and I flagonally ripping off our friends at Triple Click Podcast, make predictions about what we think
1:07.9	will be happening during the year, and then the winner receives a gift from the other person.
1:15.0	Last year I won and I received at first a 13 Sentinel statue that ended up being way too
1:21.8	gosh for me to happen to my house and I and I traded that out for a
1:26.2	a little spelunky arcade cabinet. This year the year I don't even even...
1:31.5	It's not over and I don't even know that we want to like dive in too deeply
1:36.9	Oh no no I'm more interested in what are you gonna get me because
1:40.9	okay all the year is not over I feel very confident.
1:44.3	Well I also think you're probably going to win again in sort of an 11th hour situation
1:51.2	but it's worth considering that we actually address this earlier
1:55.9	in the year and I realize you might not recall but we decided that we would not be doing
