And lets talk about daylight savings, huh? Its like, why? Who is still holding onto this thing?

Will we release the hounds of hell if we don't Save Daylight? *Insert corny joke about there being no daylight savings bank*I hope our future generations get rid of this.Perforce has it out for me...Support the showWrite in with your questions and comments: greasysays@gmail.com Tiktok: @greasysaysInstagram: @greasysaysFacebook: @greasysayspodcastTwitter: @m_cue

What does AAA mean anymore? Is "COD" AA? How about "Cocoon"? Is "Brothers, A Tale of 2 Sons" considered AAA? Is AAA based on graphics, production 'value', or simply marketing budgets? Maybe AAA games are dead, and we don't know  it. But some folks work on AAA games.
