Part 2, brought the original Xbox to Vietnam for 2 months when my daughter was born and played Mercenaries there. Still have the original Xbox disc and bought it digitally from Xbox to play again. Thank you! 😁👍🏽

I was an adult when I played this game on original Xbox. Ghost Recon Wildlands is its spiritual successor in my humble opinion. Great episode! Thank you. Pushed me to be a patron!

This was one of my most played PS2 games when I was young (a little too young😅). This episode literally made my day!

this was a childhood game for me as well (actual child lol), but I only ever played it with godmode/infinite ammo enabled, so it’s nice to hear about what it was actually supposed to be 😆but even like that, it was a helluva fun time I remember seeing the commercial for the sequel on TV, with that song you mentioned “Oh No You Didn’t”. The makers of that song (Wojahn Brothers) had a youtube channel and played at being Content Creators™️ for a while, too. There was even a tie-in comic, the rare advantage of EA backing I suppose

Apologies for double comment, but Matt Colville actually has talked about his experience writing on this, specifically in this video: https://youtu.be/UvQ2JgZIjVI?si=7lCE85MlS2llDJXa He was one of several writers and he talks about it mostly through the lens of how to apply those lessons to DMing, but it's still a great listen.
