I briefly met Daemon in the IGN booth at E3 2017. We shook hands and I told Daemon, exactly what he states in this podcast 44:40. I was working at Pinewood Studios UK at the time and when we had downtime (a lot of waiting around on Productions) the GameScoop podcast was perfect amusement for filling time and I thanked Daemon you for providing excellent podcasts! Daemon if you’re reading this, you were very courteous and I appreciate you taking a moment to talk... I just wish that I should have asked to get a photo with you too.

46:50 "Is there a game where you shoot swords"? -Sam Yes Sam. Legend of Zelda.

Best video game talk show ever

I really enjoy Tina every time she is on the show. She’s getting more comfortable every show as well. Would love to see her on podcasts more often :-)

I'm glad to see Tina back! I love her insight and points of view

This is my fave IGN show, looking forward to the new studios!

My favourite video game podcast, honestly. Thank you all!

I think Tina is great. She seems so chill. Definitely looking forward to seeing her more on the podcast!

44:36 That is exactly what I did when I first found Game Scoop! I loved the podcast and went back and watched/listened to almost every episode that was uploaded to the Game Scoop channel going back to 2016. Much love to the Omega Cops!

Happy you guys are getting a new set. I was so sad when you moved to just audio.

Love the show. When I first started about a year ago, I went back and watched all the episodes. I plan to revisit all the old podcasts while coding at work. Sometimes I’ll even take a Double Scoop, listen to the podcast at work and watch the episode later for the laughs and facial expressions. Keep up the great work!

Daemon is totally right. Finding a great podcast is GOLD for long days and commutes. I went back to like episode 400..lol

Sam cracking himself up over "but what fires the guns" xD

Another wonderful show guys! Very happy to see that you guys are still making these video and not audio only, although, I would still listen...

Sorry Sam, Damon (spelling?) is right. That's EXACTLY how I (and most) use podcasts. They're like the bathroom magazines of audio media.

I have gone back to listen to all the episodes multiple times actually. I got into the show about a year ago and look forward to it each week but it is good back ground noises while working and even having heard all the 20 question episodes, it is fun to listen again. I actually just restarted from ep 387 since that is the oldest one on youtube. It's fun to listen to prediction and thoughts about upcoming games and see how close you guys are with your thoughts.

Great show with a great cast of hosts. No offense to other IGNers but I really like this group of Omega Cops

Super Metroid, Super Mario World, FFVII, AC/BH, GoW2018! Dam, only 5 is REALLY tough. 1st ones to come to mind.

Yes. I love going back and listening to old podcasts. It is always interesting to get new comment on games from people you enjoy listening to. I listen to podcasts whilst gaming. Bliss.

My five games that I played the most and are my absolute favorites: Wolfenstein 3D Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Half life The Curse of Monkey Island Deus Ex So its basically super easy to name 5 games you think are the essential ones.

The Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas is an amazing place to play Pinball machines from the 1950s to current tables. I was there last week playing a table from 1955.

Between NVC's recording and Game Scoop's Recording they finally found that lost Computer with the sound bites.... Wonder where it was lols

Sam is always funny, but he was especially hilarious this episode!

The best of all ign podcasts ! SCOOP !

Glad to see you back Tina!!!

Tina "You gotta have The Last of Us on that list" Agreed! but only the first one. The 2nd one blows.

Yeah, I went back and watched all previous episodes once I discovered Game Scoop.

Didn't realize you guys were building new studios that's awesome! So glad to hear you guys are doing well enough to make upgrades to continue making video podcasts! Much love 😂

I played ET when I was a child (born in 79) and loved it. Was able to beat it over and over in a single sitting.

YES! Tina is back. Thanks Daemon and the rest of the Omega Cops.

Lmao... guys, I discovered this two weeks ago and this is like my 50th episode 😂

Not sure if y’all will see this but…. yes it’s December 2021 and Im enjoying the hell out of an old podcast.

-Pacman -Super Mario Bros. -Call of Duty 4 (or Halo 3?) -Minecraft -PUBG If you want to follow the trends. If you want to get the very best introduction to the medium possible, you only need to play one game: The Witness.

Super Mario World, Breath of the Wild, Doom, Witcher 3, Metroid Prime Trilogy

NBC Must see TV.

What's the epic music before VG20Q?

Holy s***, thank you so f****** much for playing some Symphony of the Night music at the end there! All hail the Omega cops

That is exactly what we use podcasts for! Fill me up!

No way! I've had dreams where if I run fast enough and put my arm out I can fly too. I never realised that those dreams could have been caused by playing smb3 as a kid until you just said.

Wait what, gameplay? Thank you!

PSA: Castlevania: Symphony of the night is part of Xbox Games with Gold July 1 - 15 for those who want to get their fix of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night by playing the original inspiration!

Oh, that SotN music...so good.

I remember enjoying the game for todays 20 questions. Good game ;) .

What song/theme is being played before 20 Questions started?

In this transition thing true for Xbox unlocked as well?? Hope so! I thought you guys were downgrading, wasn’t aware of building a new studio

I've been listening to Scoop since the beginning, BUT I have picked up existing podcasts and gone back to the beginning, most recently The Greatest Gen ( a Star Trek pod cast by two guys who are slightly embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast).

56:51 we see a peek of Daemon when he gets mad lol I will say it is a tad bit rude for Sam to mess with Daemon trying to host the show and interrupt it with tunes that Daemon has set up for the show transitions. Sam Claiborn bot is malfunctioning ever since his 20 second blank stare.

This was a very good question asked on Game Scoop.... Be a good write up as well but then the write up will be more opinionated then what will be consider "Required".... maybe get the office together so its more broad on the answers. (Yes, even that is opinionated as well but at least more great minds was tact on to the write up.)

You should sell T-shirts that say "Let me enter my mind palace."

FPS: Halo CE Adventure: Zelda BOTW Platformer: Super Mario World Narrative: God of War (2018) RPG: Mass Effect 2

Five required games: Ms Pac Man Super Mario Bros 3 Street Fighter II Turbo Halo BOTW Honorable mention...Minecraft

Tina is a great guest

At question 17 I was down to Spy Hunter or Driver 3 though it looks like the latter never came to the GC. I remember playing the demo on Xbox but it wasn't a particularly great game

Would love to play a game as a character called “Claiborne Sam”

My Required Gaming List: Zelda Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Golden Eye 64, Vigalante 8, Fable 1 and 2, Final Fantasy X, Any Mortal Kombat

Nooooo, CJ stayyyyyyy

Scoop! All for beer and pin ball machines!!!

Tiny Tina's assault on dragon keep had a gun that shoots swords.

Like the new set. Liking Tina's voice. Something sultry about it.

A required game list for me would be: The Legend of Zelda, Tetris, Doom and or Quake, Prince of Persia, and Road Rash.

My 5, and I haven't even played all of these, but I would say Mario 3/World (interchangeable which), Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Bioshock, and either Ocarina of Time or Spiderman 2

The podcast that goes back and reads the stories in old gaming magazines questions whether people would want to go back and watch old episodes of their show...

Guys could you do a guide for contra cheats for each platform aka PlayStation lol I would got it for switch but I wanted too stream on twitch and plus trophies it's just cause the buttons are diffent u know I'm really struggling finding them online please and thank you

My 5 would be super Mario the original, Zelda botw, castlevania sotn, halo 1 and minecraft. So many to choose but these would have to be my 5 also because I enjoy them very much and think they are staples in gaming history and are very unique

Started to notice Sam thinks his hot takes are funny, his co hosts only ever awkwardly laughed 😂😂😂

I guessed Spy hunter on Question 18

Just fyi, the pizza sword in Bloodstained is an item designed by a KZfaqr as part of the kickstarter campaign, and can be accessed via cheat code by entering your file name as STEPHENPLAYS.

1. Kid chameleon 2. Conker’s bad fur day 3. Castlevania symphony of the night 4. GTA 3 5. Skyrim Honorable mention- Dave Mirra’s freestyle bmx Your welcome

Is Justin really tall or is his chair sat higher than the others? I never noticed this before 🤔

I'd suggest 1. GTA San Andreas 2. Uncharted 2 Among Thieves 3. Super Mario Bros 4. Skyrim 5. Final Fantasy 7 I haven't played two of these but I think most people would be satisfied with this list.

Was this one of the last shows in this room? Covid happened shortly after this…

I think the hack question should be banned or have some sort of penalty/cost.

Play what you wanna play, also I love Tina, she should be on more.

PS... I listen to past Game Scoop!s during work hours... it’s very interesting to listen about reaction discussion about past events.

Psssh. once someone brought up it could be car game, I guessed Spyhunter

So far I only heard people in my area call the new HP Game Harry Potter Go

Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64, Grand Theft Auto 3, Wii Sports, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I don't think genre is an important qualifier given how many genres there are - leaving the question still of how you would define a games importance within a genre. Doom 2016 is one of the best FPSs ever made, but is quality important or is it more important to draw attention to the progenitor? Or is this simply asking,"What are the top 5 games that exist at the moment?" I don't think you need to play 5 games to understand what the medium is either (and if you did, the Last of Us would not be on there since it is more of a movie than it is a game). The most fitting thing would probably be to try to answer the question of how someone might get caught up with pop culture in gaming. It's way easier to simplify the history of the new hotness.

SCOOP!!

24:20 Gold. Sam the wiseman 26:00 Sam the trickster 54:41 sounds very mean out of context lol

Remember when Damon said they wouldn’t get over 2,000 subscribers lol

More Pinball Pin Pod

You can put however many Mario platformers on the platformers list you want as long as it leads up to the best platformer of all time, Rayman Legends.

Tina is my favorite guest for Game Scoop. But the positioning is all wrong. From left to right it should be Justin, Daemon, Sam, and Tina/Guest. they lost because they were in the wrong spots. It threw everything off. :P

NEW STUDIO INBOUND! SLEEPLESS REACTION SHOT HERE!! #SCOOP twitter.com/gibsonfilms/status/1144743648203923457

Oh hell yeah is gamescoop back on KZfaq?!

Scoop!

Command & conquer tiberium sun, monkey island, ocarina of time, halo 2, fallout new vegas. Five is limiting, I'm not happy with my own answer ha. Would fortnite have been a phenomenon if it wasn't free?

At least one of the Dark Souls games (IMO!)

Why can’t we have this cast every time?

It's a real shame that trying to run an indie Unreal game on last gen mobile hardware and release too soon has shifted the reception of Bloodstained as being a masterpiece for Igavania fans, to being fodder for Switch focused youtube channels. Absolutely loved it. Even beats out Sekiro for me this year.

Listened to the pod version first. A few months ago I had a discussion on the Game Scoop Fb group and someone was pissed off - I was telling them that 'canon' means an essential (problematic!) body of work you 'should' experience - because it's not what gamers mean when they talk about canon. #smug

Halo Loz botw Fable lost chapters Banjo kazooie/tooie Witcher 3

My list would be as follows: Skyrim Halo Red Dead Redemption 2 Mass Effect 2 Rayman Legends

Hahaha a fake pinball machine... hope you get a monster bash table. That's my current favorite!!

Hm... just 5 games? Required? Super Mario Bros 3 to represent 2D platformers Resident Evil 4 to represent 3rd person action shooters and horror Wii sports to represent all sports, party, and motion controlled games Bioshock to represent fps’s and games with really interesting stories/commentary/twists Breath of the Wild to represent open world adventure games

20 Questions 44:32

I got Video Game 20 Questions!

buy a 5 dollar, black bed sheet and throw it over that table. Will look 100 times better and cleaner.

BEYOND!.... Wait that's not right..... KINDA!.... Nope still not it.... It's been a while...
