When Justin said "Scoop!", I really felt that.

Absolutely made my day, fantastic to see things getting back to "normal"

I'm not tired of elden ring talk. Keep it coming, cheese and all.

CONSUME THE LIST needs to be a weekly segment.

Nicholas is a lovely chap. Happy to see him here again!

I owned a comic store in the mid 90s and we had an arcade machine company ask us if they could put 2 machines into our store in exchange for 50% of the money they made each month. They would let us switch out cabinets when we felt they weren’t making enough money. From memory we had Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat 2, X-Men, Captain America & the Avengers, NBA Jam, & Time Killers at some point. We never had to put any money down or buy any arcade machines, we only supplied the electricity.

Cheese is a big part of the From Software experience. I love hearing these stories lol. Keep 'em coming!

Nicholas is awesome! More of him on Scoop!

Dear Omega Corps, I’ve come to the conclusion that 56 minutes is far too short for such a fun podcast. In fact, my research shows that anything less than 90 minutes can still be qualified as “too short”. Please let me know who at IGN I need to call to get all episodes above this minimum length. If you need an additional guest to help add extra content and meet the proper length, my door is also open for that. Scoop!

I encourage more Elden Ring talk. Good to see everyone back onsite.

The energy in this podcast is definitely higher than the social distance shows

0:44 Man, seeing the studio like that again (although, its a new one) has me strangely nostalgic

Tunic was my first ever game I downloaded on Game pass (I just got my XSX) and it was an amazing game. Loved every minute of it and the music has no business being that damn good. 🔥

Those lists were so random :') Great stuff. Atleast Handsome Jack making the top list seems plausible :D

So glad to see almost all of you in studio again; honestly really had me beaming, there's something intangible but really special about having the studio set up and having you all together. Sam, your insight into how arcade cabinet sales and operations work was absolutely fascinating. Your history lessons and insights are always such wonderful additions to the show. Thank you for explaining that to us all! Also, Nicholas was a great addition to the pod, hope to see him again!

sooo glad to see (most)) of you back in the new studio, it's a beautiful thing

Great to see you all back in the studio! I will say I miss everyone’s unique setups and backgrounds from their homes.

Yeeessss! Together in the studio! That is awesome. I’ve missed this so much.

Daemon always manages to find interesting topics to discuss. That list was amazing and terrible at the same time. Also I’m not playing Elden Ring but I love getting updates on how Daemon is going. Keep up the work Scoop crew! 👍👍

Johnny Gat from Saints Row should have been considered a nominee for either of these lists. A person can be below poor by being in debt, and if you cant pay the fine you might do the time. Although Johnny Gat was rescued from a courtroom before being sentenced to life, if not death, for hundreds of murders in Saints Row 2, being in prison is worse than being in debt. Being a gang leader has its ups and downs, and eventually the Saints take over the city and all the businesses to the point the money isn't even counted anymore, but the plot can go in any direction in the crazy City of Stilwater come this August 2022.

Daemon's cheese stories are the best 😂

Oh wow, they’re back at the studio 👍

So glad to see you guys together.

Love the in person pods :)

Great episode guys. Always love listening to the show! (Man, I thought you guys might have messed up 20Q if it had been Perfect Dark... Or was that after 2000?)

Seein y’all in studio is a mood booster, fs

I teared up a lot in Spiritfarer. Such a special game. Soundtrack is up there as one of my favourites of all time.

OMG. I laughed so much with the richest and poorest list. I was drinking water and almost choked twice with the bit about Link.

the gang is back! (almost) love that yall went to the barber shop for the first days back too.

The Attack! That's where I remember Nick from. I miss those days. SO glad to see him again

Scoop! Love the new set!

Oh my goodness! A new era of Scoop has commenced!

Great to be back!!

Titled content starts @ 24:00

So welcome back... except Sam (and of course Tina). I have to say, after 2 years, I will admit that I actually liked the more casual vid-con dynamic (as a viewer). I totally get that it's more fun and instinctive to actually F2F with people, and I don't want to downplay your social (human) needs as people needing to connect .... EDIT... Ok, I will confess I started writing this in the first 30 mins (as it was playing). Then you hit the richest-poorest game characters, and I have to say IRL or streamed... you guys have a good chemistry (Tina... please come back soon). Welcome back - and let's all celebrate any sign of normality (whatever that means) returning.... I say as I recover form COVID at home, trying desperately not to infect my whole family.

I think they should talk about as much Breath of the Wild and as much Elden Ring and as much Yakuza Like a Dragon as they want. And I have no interest in Yakuza Like a Dragon, but I still listen because often it's interesting bits about games in general (whether it's cliches or making fun of them or what have you). Daemon, I like your Elden Ring posts on FB group - just saying.

Glad to see them back together in a studio after 2 years!

Really hope Daemon starts playing the older FromSoft games like Bloodborne. Elden Ring is making him a brand new gamer

What a silly list to entertain, thank you for the fun!

It feels so classic to see you in the studio

So nice to see (75% of) y'all in a proper studio!

The Adventures of Bayou Billy on the NES I remember that game was OG hard, never beat it

ohh we back in the studio finally.

Damon been puttin in hella runes in STR. Look at that buff boi

Regardless of why Microsoft is selling well,they had to make a good system to even be an option so that speaks to its quality and value that Sony players are willing to get an Xbox.

Lara Croft - Grave Robber Isn't that essentially "Tomb Raider"?

There is no way those characters are richer than Scrooge McDuck! The dude is literally swimming in his own money!

Best proof that KZfaq's algorithm is utterly broken is that Game Scoop doesnt show up as the #1 recommendation.

What is the song at the end of the video? I know it, but can’t figure out where it’s from! I NEED IT!

By Grabthar’s Hammer, they’re back in studio!

People are back together again in person mind blown

Happy Friday

Oooh man!! It's been so long!!! What an awesome episode. Like other commenters the energy here was top notch for this episode. Sam, a bit sad and glad at the same time.... Although you could not be there, much love to you and your work from home atmosphere! Daemon it has been great seeing you host many shows in studio again!! Justin, always a pleasure Scoop! 😉

With the new set, ya gotta do a crane zoom in as the opening scene of each Podcast....Start wide get the whole set and everyone, while Daemon's introducing the topics, while the camera slowly moves in, show that set off

More elden ring talk please.

I’d take two scoops if I could!

Happy Scoop Day!! The only weekly holiday celebrating the only gaming podcast in the universe! Time to wrap up my work day, grab a brew, pull up KZfaq on my TV and watch the four nicest people in gaming have a chat, laugh and have a good time! No better way to start your weekend. Nicely job.

Handsome Jack best villain of all time.

For Star Wars games, I’d want an open world ‘force unleashed’ style rpg. Allow for choice between smuggler, scoundrel, light/grey/dark jedi, bounty hunter, etc for classes and have tons of upgrades and abilities. Think the story style and universe of KoTOR meets the powers and fighting of force unleashed, made by Bethesda game studios. It would not be at all related to the skywalker saga, maybe a bit after, as the force surges back.

Good to have people be in the same room again! It makes a difference!

Love the new set and seeing you guys back in studio. A bit of an echo though

When I saw Handsome Jack, I clicked on the video

What's the end track? It sounds familiar but I can't place it.

To scoop or scoup. That is the audio

How come the name of the music is no longer being posted?

Damn, the Blast Corps question ruined what would have been winning in 007 questions

What game was the music at the end from?

I could be wrong be link is a knight also in skyward sword.

Blanka is a database administrator, specializing in Oracle.

What game is the outro music from?!?

Pretty funny show

I would love Insomniac to make a Star Wars game, pretty much Ratchet & Clank with a Star Wars skin

What's the interview about the community dark souls? Where can I find it?

I’m surprised Agent 47 wasn’t on the top 5 richest gaming characters list? Hitmen normally earn millions for a contract! 😎 Lol

Just put Factor 5 back on whatever in the SW universe. They always did it justice.

Please make fun of more listicles, that was great

Anybody know the outro song?

Oops no, it was perfect dark!

What NES game has the music from 37:13?

Wow! Video game characters theoretically make more than most Americans. Crazy

Aladan gotta be one of the poorest

I never saw a PS5 on any store, and online they were available for like 5 min and then gone.. Its so frustrating.. Xbox consoles are allways available on stores and online, like switch consoles as well..

Should I play Rogue Legacy first before playing Rogue Legacy 2? I'm not concerned about story or anything like that, but as far as gameplay - are they similar enough that if I play Rogue Legacy 2 I will get the full experience, or will I miss out on something by skipping Rogue Legacy?

In the show pac man works for the president and the scientist sir cumference as a superhero esc science experiment esc person

Great episode! Scoop 💜 just for your information Pokémon legends arceus is selling more than elden ring , but it seems at ign they don’t like to talk about Nintendo numbers , I’m happy for the elden ring success but the sales are not that impressive , considering it is selling on 4 different platforms and Pokémon legends arceus is just selling in one platform, just like animal crossing , Zelda and Mario kart , those are indeed impressive sales numbers , but hey let’s not talk about Nintendo success ever , like when the switch was the best selling console for 4 consecutive years and ign didn’t say anything about it but then ps5 sells better for just one month and they make a big splash out of it, that feels very bias, anyway I love game scoop and I also like ign , and console wars are nonsense but the narrative at ign towards gaming does feel bias and weird ❤️ happy gaming!

What is this, 2019?!?!

Is Tina ever there? What is she up to?

Has Daemon actually tried Stardew Valley? I can understand him not liking Animal Crossing but Stardew Valley is one of the greatest games of all time.

Yes!!!!!!

Happy for Xbox but we don’t know the margins. The switch margins are likely high esp compared to the ps5 and Xboxes

I'm struggling to play anything but Elden Ring.

i feel like for this list to be justified they should have made paper boy number 1

Why was there no wide shot of everybody in the table? Just a curious question...But the show was great as usual!

Two shilling was 10 pence in old money, this would be a tenth of a pound u.k so it would work out .

The highest/lowest earning bit was classic. What kind of methodology were they using? Those results were completely preposterous haha. Surprised to see the return to the studio! Only 1 episode in, but I think I prefer the more laid-back WFH podcast style. The extra bit of production going into the studio setup makes the podcast seem more commercial and less authentic. There is also a mismatch between seeing in studio cast from waste up compared to only seeing the remote cast's head and shoulders which seemed odd to my eye. In any case, good show and looks like the guys in studio enjoyed the atmosphere. Interested to see if the studio format translates into more engagement with the viewing community!

I thought Justin moved to Idaho??? I much prefer in person podcasts.

Here we go. It’s nice to see the guys back in studio. Except for Sam, always the odd duck. Am I alone in thinking that 2022 has been one of the worst years in gaming? Edit: I’m not saying that no good games have released this year, just a very small amount compared to past years.

Sonic has all those gold rings so I think he is the richest. He should have some thicc glutes running with all that weight!

N64 Goldeneye and use footage from the Wii 'remake' ? Seems disrespectful.

Umm excuse me, Xbox released Tunic aka my game of the year. 🦊
