How do you feel about Resident Evil 6?
Got a whole video on it, haven't changed my feelings on it since. Watching a couple I know playthrough it just confirmed said feelings.

What is your favorite aspact of COD Zombies?
Turning it off after one match?
Okay, that's mean, I've got lots of fond memories of COD Zombies from WaW and Black Ops 1, but I've never been somebody who plays it hour after hour. It was a way to cap off the night, not binge.
Though, I find that I don't really enjoy Coop shooters in general for very long. I play them for a couple hours, have my fill, and that's it; has happened to a lot more games than just COD.

Do you think we have any hope of multiplayer returning to mass effect 4? I feel like the fact I can que into games faster than I can in siege says something about it’s popularity.
My instinct is to say yes, but if Dragon Age isn't going to feature it, then I don't think so. I can't imagine Bioware is in a confident, bold, daring state at the moment, and especially after how forgotten Andromeda's Multiplayer was (rightfully so), I think they're just going to view ME3MP as lighting in a bottle rather than a formula to expand.
Which is a shame, because Mass Effect's universe is, as I've discussed before, wasting its potential by not at least giving one different type of experience from its RPG formula.

People have said a lot about how Valve is no longer what it used to be, but after I watched your Far Cry 3 video, it made me think that maybe it’s a good thing that a company of Valve’s scale and influence seems to generally do the right thing for consumers, at least compared to its competitors. Like, one could say Ubisoft is “similarly” no longer what it used to be, but what it has become is not the same as what Valve has become IMO. What do you think?
I don't think it's ultimately fair to compare because the reason Valve is able to "do the right thing for consumers" is that they're not on the public trade, and that's only because they can afford not to be.
As much as I may rag on companies like Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc, and they do deserve it, especialy in regard to their personal conduct behind closed doors, the truth is, they're a symtom of the problem, not the problem itself.
You can't have companies "do the right thing" and fund the pockets of shareholders simultaniously, at least, not for a notable duration of time. At some point, something is going to give, it's a core-design function of the current capatilist economy.
I also hesitate to give too much credit to Valve, because, for every great act they've done over the years like the Steam Deck, Community Features, Workshop, etc, they've made 2-3 flops and bad calls, whether it's the DRM, Steam Box, Paid Mods, Eating up Campo Santo, etc.
Valve isn't so much the hero, but the Father that isn't beating their kid.
They're just doing what a company of their scale is supposed to do.
Whereas everybody else is doing what they're designed to do.

what is the most over the top game you have ever played?
Resident Evil 6 is an easy answer, the real one is probably a game I haven't played but saw Super Bunnyhop do an excellent video on a couple years ago.
It kinda needs to be seen to be believed...
