33min I just caught Chris’s reply to Griffin saying “They only made one bible” Justin and Russ agreeing reflexively and then Chris saying “mmmm That’s debatable.” I see you Chris. ✊

My stuntman reboot pitch, it's not just a driving game but an action game. A Sifu like, with driving and flying and shooting, and you have a stunt you have to complete. Sort of like neon white or something where you're trying to complete actions within a set time but maybe you can add your own flair, like maybe you need to knockout 3 guys at once and you can use a ladder or hit them with a car etc. So you're not just a driving stunt man, but an all around action stunt man

Shame that every time they bring up Peggle they never mention Roundguard which provides a very fun and action packed fantasy rogue like pachinko experience. People are missing out on this one.
