So shout out, thank you to Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Psalm Twining. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. It's time for some news.
We have six stories today. Uh, Baker's desert. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah, we have smoke machines here. I've been here before. Shit still scares me. Listen, I mean, we have, whenever Cole, Greg's dog, comes through, it's always, like, hit or miss, because Greg will have him, you know, in, like, his little, I was going to say cage. It's not a cage. Damn, look.
What can we expect from the upcoming Nintendo Direct?
We treat his dog like shit. In his little thing, right? Just hanging out behind here. And you'll see him when the smoke comes up. He's like, what the fuck is that? Poor baby. Actually, before we even get into story number one. Yeah. Michael, for people who I assume most people who are watching know who you are. But of course, you write for IGN. What are some things that you've worked on recently that people should check out? I think y'all should check out the top 100 Xbox games of all time. There you go. Man, it was so funny because I let my podcaster just run with whatever new episodes of podcasts I follow. And Gamescast came up. And I woke up in the middle of the night because I was just letting it play.
And I heard Snowbike Mike talking mad shit about our list. And it was like, it was like fighters flight response. I got up out of my bed, like fucking right. I was like, y'all talking shit. So thank you for paying attention to our list, Mike. I'd like to think it's synergistic though. You know, the fact that we're, you know, talk about the list, we read the list, you know, and I feel like here's the thing, right?
