I'm likely in the minority, but I'm not a fan of the brackets. Would much rather have industry retrospectives or game introspectives by Russ and Plante.

Taylor Kelty

Agreed. Hearing Justin's cereal vs. Russ's egg vs. Griffin's bagel vs. Plante's 1970's Italian walking simulator documentary about heart-broken children of the Great Depression would slap.

Speaking of I just had an Idea for the next brackets. How about "Best Intro (in-game or pre-rendered) Cinematic". You know like future winner from "Onimusha 3"? Intro cinematics stopped being a real thing with the death of arcades and seventh generation so they deserve to be given a retrospective.

Nights is here to spread holiday cheer because as we all know. Dreamcast da best.

Lads. We need an emergency-cast this weekend to discuss some of this bonkers shit from the game awards... Come oooooon!

Dreamcast da best. Nah but for real, this one has the most interesting takes on a broad gaming topic that most people can probably relate to, and because its consoles and not the endless supply of video games one can pull examples from, theres less friction for listeners. It also gets a little rowdy, but not "you have to eat the whole pumpkin" rowdy (not letting you guys live it down). Its also why I NEED the handheld brackets

How will they know that Dreamcast da best if we don't tell them?

Mallory Carpenter

Only one choice, and that is dat Dreamcast da best.

Nicole Levay

I would have agreed until they started making “you have to eat the whole thing” part of it midway through and then took it away for the beef bowl. Banana peel did NOT deserve to go through!!

Wait a minute… why isn’t the end of year bracket you guys facing off all the year’s brackets to find the best bracket?

MajorDX25

I was going to say food, but honestly, there is only one choice. Dreamcast is da best!

ames

I know, recency bias, but I enjoyed the heck out of the food one, much more than the current top winner consoles. Why? I didn’t own any of them except the PS3 and XBox One, so it was a lot of “oh, okay”. I mean. I know Dreamcast da best, but I’ve never even seen one, haha

Ben

Yeah, great point. I would still hope video game stuff would be common in (if not most) bracket episodes, but I'd love an excuse to hear them discuss things outside of video games that they have an interest in with the battle bracket concept!

Evan Grossman

I can’t believe there have been 11 of these episodes already! I could have sworn there were like 4. 😵‍💫 love them all.

EtherEli

I didn’t vote for it, but it would be funny though to unleash the madness, the utter lunacy, that was the best party game bracket to the general public

EtherEli

I legit learned new information about the portable gaming thing for the Dreamcast

Derek

This may be my only chance to share this story in a relevant context, so here goes: I used to go to Japan regularly as a kid alongside my parents, who went there for work. So I naturally developed an affinity for the country, and took up Japanese classes in high school. One of the other students learned of my upcoming trip to the homeland of Sega, and asked if he could give me money to bring him back a Dreamcast – which at the time was only available over there. Now this was not a case of doing a favor for a dear friend. I had very little contact with that classmate before or after the exchange, and in fact can not even remember his name today. Yet I was so desperate for the esteem of my peers that I agreed, and brought back the console – which I then dutifully handed over. To this day I still regret that at no point did I even consider keeping the prize all for myself. If I had, I'm sure my life would have turned quite different. It's possible my passion for video games would have blossomed into something more than a hobby, and who knows – maybe in that parallel timeline the Besties have a fifth member (That's me, I'm the fifth member. Also just FYI in that timeline Ron Funches dies heroically while saving the president so the spot is free).

I understand your guys' proclivity to stay in the vicinity of video game adjacent brackets, but I think we would all smash that mf ▶️ button on an episode, say, for example, Best peanut butter and jelly variant. Best Julia Roberts movie. Best decorative desk accessory. Best drive-time snack. Best Gorillaz album? Yes please. Best breakfast go-to? Don't mind if I do.

Ben

Gotta agree with the early consensus: Dreamcast da best. Seriously though, that episode has it all, probably the funniest bracket episode imo, passionate debate, consoles is a broad enough category that there's something in there for every gamer, etc.

Shane Hosea

Dreamcast, if I may, da best

The console battle. All 4 of you had skin in the game. Egos were bruised, fightin words were said, and in the end, the king remained on top ... "9.9.99! 9.9.99! 9.9.99!"
