We're so excited to be here for another great year together. Today we're keeping our annual tradition of doing our big predictions episode for the year. We have 26+ big bold predictions for 2026 that we think will really set the tone for what we can expect for this year. Also in this episode, we're catching up on some news that broke over the holidays with our reactions to the big Metroid Prime 4 Famitsu interview. We've also been playing a ton of games over the break and we found a new indie game that's definitely worth checking out. What are your big predictions for 2026?

A King is worthy of adoration, service, obedience, and worship. All Hail, King Jesus!   Key Phrase: “We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”  Matthew 2:2

NB: Man, I so wanted to call this episode All Hail the Nuptial Fuck Chamber but out of respect for Elijah and his family, I gave it a nice title instead. Also, Chris followed up with an additional note: “Looking at (rather than just vaguely recalling) the bit from Catullus 62, the poem is amoebaean (the girls sing in answer to the boys). It opens with the boys claiming that the evening star, Venus, is shining over Olympus, understood as simply meaning that it's in the sky—that is, it is night, time for marriage (and consummation). The girls echo this claim, but they swap out Mount Oeta for Olympus, Oeta being close to Olympus and interchangeable with it. When Housman says that ‘the star from Oeta's steep / calls to bed but not to sleep,' I think he's just echoing this evocative, poeticizing way of saying ‘the ceremony's done, now it's time for fun.' Of course, if it is about MJ [Moses Jackson], the real emotion of the poem is in the speaker's self-abnegation, his giving the groom to the girl who loves him less than he does, his blessing on and defense of (hand on sword) the conjugal jollifications, and his own exclusion from bliss. But I wouldn't take any of the geography too literally! the main point is just that it's night time, and night time is the right time.” SLEERICKETS is a podcast about poetry and other intractable problems.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT REV. KENDRA BALLIET ORGANIST JIM ROSS STONE CARILLON CHOIR - HANDBELLS Prelude (Bells) - Good Christian Friends Rejoice/On This Day Earth Shall Ring - McChesney-Roth Welcome & Announcements *Call to Worship PASTOR: Just as our theme carol asks, “what child is this?” we, too, have come with our questions this day. We go into the world with answers of Good News, being the Body of Christ through our words and deeds. PEOPLE:We Ask, We Answer PASTOR:As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one surrounded by sacrificial love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one who would go on to great sacrifice in the name of love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the one “Enthroned by Love” who invites us into more love than we thought was possible. * Opening Hymn – “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” #154 Lighting of the Fourth Advent Candle So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Reader 1: When we hear “let loving hearts enthrone him” in our theme carol, we are encountering the “essence of the message.” Love is at the heart of this beloved story of the birth of Christ. It is love that is the true definition of “kingdom,” of “kinship.” No one exemplifies this more than Joseph’s love for Mary and for the child. Reader 2: He is protector of Love; he is hospitality incarnated. Not only the very life of Jesus was in his hands, but his own character and sacrifice were influential in the way that Jesus went on to live his life and center “love for all” as his message. Reader 1: We light this candle of Love for those who need it most. (Light the three Purple Candles and the Pink Candle.) Reader 2: For all who feel they are on the outskirts of love. Reader 1: For all who know the loss of a love. Reader 2: For all who are rejected because of who they are. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “How will we make sacrificial love our aim in our time?” Reader 2: What child IS this? This, this, is the babe who was swaddled in love and wraps us all in love forever. This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Opening Prayer Here, at the nativity of your birth, give us the courage to face this moment with a steadfast love that casts out fear. Open us to new understandings of the unfolding story of your presence among us. Show us how to be with and for one another in ways that add to the flourishing of all creation. We pray in the name of the Child, the Love Enthroned in our hearts and lives. Amen. Children’s Chat Scripture- Matthew 1: 18-25 Pastor: The Word of God for the people of God. People: Thanks be to God Series: “What Child IS This: Beyond the Lullaby” Message: “Enthroned by Love” Tithes and Offering Offertory (Bells)- Bring A Torch Jeanette, Isabella - Kevin McChesney *Doxology – Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #94 Prayer Hymn – “Emmanuel, Emmanuel” #204 Prayers of the People - Joys and Concerns Pastoral Prayer & Lord’s Prayer *Closing Hymn – “Love Came Down at Christmas”#242 Action Steps and Benediction Postlude - Tell Out My Soul - Paul Manz Thank you for sharing in this worship service.

PASTOR: As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one born into a time when hope was hard. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one whose lowly status would send a message of hope that alleviation of oppression is a holy endeavor. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the “King of Kings” who shows us the way of true hope for all people. * Opening Hymn – “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” #154 Lighting of the First Advent Candle What Child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? Reader 1: The nature of humanity seems to point to the need for a “savior,” especially when we feel things are out of control. People in the time of Jesus’ birth were no different. They hoped for a new reality of communal wellbeing in the midst of corruption and violence. Reader 2: Peace only existed by definition of the empire. The collaboration of religious and state authorities for the sake of the rich and the demise of the poor was a hard reality for most. Reader 1: We light this candle of Hope for those who need it most. (Light the First Purple Candle.) Reader 2: For all who search for a place to belong. Reader 1: For all who are frightened by imposing forces. Reader 2: For all whose future seems uncertain. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “For what do we hope in our time that will be ‘good news for ALL people?’” Reader 2: What child IS this?

God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever (1 Timothy 6:15-16). Amen.Lieutenant Lewis "Chesty" Puller was assigned to the Nicaraguan National Guard in December 1928. A few months later, Puller was leading his platoon of Marines through a dangerous mountain pass in the dense Nicaraguan jungles when rebels suddenly ambushed the Marines. The rebels attacked from all sides with machine guns and mortars. Four of Puller's men went down in the initial attack.Puller is quoted as telling his men, "All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us. They can't get away this time."Puller got his men to cover, directed their fire at the rebels, and led his Marines in a flanking maneuver that completely destroyed the rebels.Puller was surrounded by the enemy. But he wasn't afraid. He had the enemy right where he wanted them. He said at another time when his Marines were surrounded, "They've got us right where we want 'em. We can shoot in every direction now."Jesus on the cross is surrounded by his enemies. This is how King David described King Jesus being surrounded on the cross. Remember, David is accurately describing this event one thousand years before Jesus was crucified!"I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people. All who see me mock me. They sneer. They shake their heads. They say, 'Trust in the Lord.' 'Let the Lord deliver him. Let him rescue him, if he delights in him.' … Many bulls surround me. Strong bulls from Bashan encircle me. Enemies open their mouths wide against me, like a lion that tears its prey and roars. Like water I am poured out. All my bones are pulled apart. My heart has become like wax. It has melted in the middle of my chest. My strength is dried up like broken pottery, and my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded me. A band of evil men has encircled me. They have pierced my hands and my feet" (Psalm 22:6-8, 12-16).Jesus is surrounded by everyday citizens who traveled to Golgotha's hill for a good show. Many of these are the same ones who shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" earlier that morning. He's surrounded by the respected members of society – the clergymen and religious teachers. They taunt him, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the Chosen One" (Luke 23:35)! He's surrounded by Roman soldiers doing their jobs of killing criminals. They taunt him, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself" (Luke 23:37)! Governor Pilate is back in his palace. But he lets everyone know his feelings about Jesus with the sign at the top of his cross that reads, "This is the King of the Jews" (Luke 23:38).Jesus is surround by bulls, dogs, and evil men. He is surrounded by his enemies while his best friends – his disciples – have fled and are in hiding. Jesus has been spat upon, slapped, beaten, scourged, mocked, taunted, and abused in inhumane ways. Worst of all, he's crucified – the most torturous death the Romans could devise. Within the spiritual realm, he is also surrounded by his enemies of the Devil and his demons. They're all on hand to witness the death of the Son of God. Jesus is despised and rejected on every side. He looks more like a criminal than the King of kings and Lord of lords.Jesus was a King who perfectly fit God's own description of the Savior who was coming! Marvel at how precisely the prophet Isaiah describes Jesus on Golgotha's cross 700 years before it happened! "There were many who were appalled at him – his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness" (Isaiah 52:14). "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not" (Isaiah 53:2-3).What kind of king doesn't have the support of his adoring public? Instead, they are mocking and ridiculing him. What kind of king has no royal vestments of his own? Jesus has no scepter except for the staff given him by jeering soldiers. He has no royal gown except for the scarlet robe draped around him by those who feigned respect. He has no crown except for the crown of thorns brutally shoved upon his head by those who made sport of him. He has no subjects unless you want to count the soldiers who spit on him, struck him with his scepter, and called out, "Hail, king of the Jews!"Jesus is surrounded by his enemies. We're there, too. It was our sins that put Jesus on the cross. We mock Jesus when we reject his words for the words of the world. We slap Jesus in the face with every deliberate sin. We beat him with our prideful thoughts, scourge him with our sharp tongues, and abuse him with our hurtful actions. We taunt Jesus every time we choose to do something other than give him the worship he deserves as our Savior and King. Lord, have mercy!Take the time to bow your head and confess your sins of putting King Jesus on the cross.Private confession.Citizens of Christ's kingdom, Jesus Christ is your King. He is the King, gracious and giving, who stayed upon the cross, though the world considered him an idiot and a failure for doing so. He stayed there. He paid there. He died there. And he won there! Jesus was surrounded. He had his enemies right where he wanted them!The enemy of sin was there on Golgotha's hill. Jesus was surrounded by sinners. These were rebelling against God's will. Mocking their Savior and crucifying the very Son of God. What did Jesus do with all that sin? He forgave it! He cried out on the cross, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they're doing" (Luke 23:34).Jesus had sin right where he wanted. He removed it. He defeated it. Because he forgave it.The enemy of Satan was there on Golgotha's hill. Jesus was surrounded by the Devil and his demonic forces. Satan was working behind the scenes to move government leaders, religious rulers, and citizens to put the Son of God to death. This was always Satan's goal from the Garden of Eden. He knew he would one day crush the Savior's heel. He and his demons were excited to finally defeat God's Son. They couldn't defeat him with temptations in the Judean desert. Now, they imagine they can defeat him with crucifixion outside Jerusalem's walls.Even in apparent defeat, Jesus still has power over the physical and spiritual realms. St. Paul explains, [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and unseen, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him" (Colossians 1:15-16). These thrones, dominions, rulers, and authorities are the various ranks of angels and demons. Jesus defeats the highest-ranking demon of all when he crushes the Devil's head. On the cross, Jesus' heel is crushed by the Ancient Serpent. At the same time, Jesus crushes the head of the Ancient Serpent. The Lord promised the serpent in the Garden, "He will crush your head, and you will crush his heel" (Genesis 3:15).The enemy of death is there on Golgotha's hill. Jesus is surrounded by death. Within a short time, Jesus will die and his corpse placed into a borrowed tomb. There he rests the slumber of death for three days. Then at Easter Dawn, Jesus gloriously and victoriously rises from the grave. He has defeated death once and for all. St. Paul explains, "He is also the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things he might have the highest rank" (Colossians 1:18).Jesus has his enemies right where he wants them. They can't get away this time. He wins the victory over them. Then he grants that victory immediately to the repentant thief. This was the thief who had grown silent at some point. He no longer joined in the taunts. Instead, when this thief could stand the rejection no longer, he rebuked his partner in crime, "Don't you fear God, since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong" (Luke 23:40-41).This thief on the cross knew his sinfulness. He knew he didn't deserve any kind words from Jesus. But that didn't stop him from making a remarkable prayer of faith. His words show repentance and humility. He pleaded, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." He prayed in the name of Jesus – the One who will save his people from their sins. He prayed in the name of the Man who did "nothing wrong" – the One who is perfect and holy and who carried all wrongs, shortcomings, miscalculations, poor judgments, and alternate lifestyles – all sins on his shoulders on that cross.The thief came to Jesus, not making demands, but counting on grace. He asked only that Jesus would "remember" him, nothing more. He didn't ask for any favors. He wasn't so bold as to request a place in heaven. Only "remember." He left it solely up to Jesus to answer his prayer.Jesus answered him with those beautifully comforting words, "Amen I tell you: Today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). Are these the words of a convicted criminal? No. These are the words of a victorious, all-powerful King. These words contain no ifs, no ands, no buts, and certainly no maybes. The King nailed to the cross, the One who looked so helpless and hopeless – this is the King who showed that even in the hour of his greatest agony, he was a King who came to give. He came to give eternal life. He came to win a home for people in paradise. He came to give forgiveness for sins. He came to reconcile humanity to God. St. Paul writes, "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile all things to himself (whether things on earth or in heaven) by establishing peace through the blood of his cross" (Colossians 1:19-20)."Today you will be with me in paradise." Not a single person on Golgotha's hill deserved to hear such a promise. They had all been his enemies. But the Savior made that promise anyway. He promised that through faith in him as their King and Savior, he would turn them from enemies into heirs. Not a single person here deserves to hear Jesus tell us, "You will be with me in paradise." We had all been his enemies. But the Savior makes that promise anyway. He promises that through faith in him as your King and Savior, he has turned you from enemies into heirs of his paradise. He gives you this promise at the baptismal font, at the communion rail, in our Sunday School classrooms, from our pulpit, and on our deathbed. This is the promise of the King who looked so foolish on Golgotha's hill. The King who looked so weak and helpless. The King despised and rejected. The King surrounded by his enemies.In December 1950, now Lieutenant Colonel Puller was in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War. Puller's 1st Marine Regiment was outnumbered and trapped by Chinese forces in freezing conditions. When a subordinate reported they were surrounded, Puller replied, "We've been looking for the enemy for several days now. We've finally found them. We're surrounded. That simplifies our problem."Jesus' problem was simplified as he had all his enemies in one place at one time. There Jesus forgave sin, crushed Satan, and defeated death. He couldn't miss.Jesus gives these victories over your enemies to you now and with the promise of paradise to come. We sing of these victories today and throughout eternity in paradise. "Crown Him with Many Crowns" (CW: 341). "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name (CW: 370). And "The King of Glory Comes" (CW: 363). Amen.The Father rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14). Amen.

Let's discuss! Also in this episode, we're completely hooked on two incredible indie games we've been playing on Nintendo Switch 2 and we won't shut up about them. Also, we're going to go through the official nominees for The Game Awards. Did Nintendo get snubbed? We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers!

Do you remember the half-hour cartoon show called “The Jetsons”? The futuristic 1962 prime-time half-hour cartoon became ABC’s very first color television program shown by the network.  After a one-year run in the evenings, reruns of “The Jetsons” remained on Saturday mornings for decades. The show’s premise involved a space-aged middle-class office worker named George Jetson and his family (including the family dog, Astro) as they dealt with issues of the day (which were remarkably like today’s). One particular episode introduced an extremely smart and sophisticated computerized robot “genius” named UniBlab.  The president of George Jetson’s company president bought UniBlab to improve efficiency and reduce the number of workers (including, of course, George Jetson). Artificial intelligence (AI) is now doing the same thing to many jobs today.  Let’s return to that subject a bit later. All Hail to “King” Kiffin and his SEC Court This week’s college football coaching carousel has one particular man being flown around and treated like a king in both Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Gainesville, Florida. Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin already makes $9 million per year.  His 10-1 Rebels are a virtual lock to play in their first College Football Playoff game in December. The Ole Miss Rebels have this week off as they prepare for a regular season finale against intrastate rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl game a week from Friday in Starkville. Coach Lane Kiffin was already the toast of Oxford, Mississippi.  The school’s athletics director has offered the football coach a very generous contract extension which currently is awaiting Kiffin’s signature – if he wants to remain the football coach at Ole Miss. November is a big season for hunters. Two of the SEC’s “Big Name” hunters are trying to bag a very expensive trophy named Lane Kiffin during this week’s open season on football coaches. LSU (which fired Brian Kelly) and Florida (ditto for Billy Napier) are openly courting Lane Kiffin to leave northern Mississippi and lead their SEC football programs next season. Both schools are expected to dangle upwards of $12 million per season to lure “King” Kiffin away from multitudes of his loyal subjects in Oxford, Mississippi. A fool and his money…??? At what point will major college football programs learn their lesson about signing coaches to long-term multi-million dollar contracts which require the payment of tens of millions of dollars if the deal doesn’t work out? There are plenty of wealthy benefactors at the University of Florida and LSU.  Ole Miss has its share of big money supporters, too. Most every major college football program today has wealthy alumni and fans who will gladly fork-over the money with one string attached. The new coaching hire must bring about the required return on investment made by the big rollers. It’s called, “Our team must make it into the College Football Playoffs and compete for a national championship nearly every year!” But what if it doesn’t? A little over a year ago, Penn State won its first game in the first 12-team College Football Playoffs.  The Nittany Lions clobbered SMU 38-10 in Round 1.  They beat Boise State 31-14 in Round 2.  PSU then lost a squeaker to Notre Dame 27-24 in the national semifinals. By any measure, Penn State had a fantastic season in 2024. Did the team’s success in 2024 help Coach James Franklin keep his job this fall? Penn State fired its 12th year head football coach in October after the Nittany Lions lost three straight games following a 3-0 start.  During his tenure with Penn State, Coach James Franklin’s teams won 70% of their games in what has become known recently as “Unhappy” Valley. James Franklin wasn’t unemployed for very long. Earlier this week, Coach Franklin found a new coaching home as he will lead Virginia Tech’s football program in 2026. Yes, it is true that Coach James Franklin still hasn’t won a national championship. Then again, neither has Virginia Tech. Neither had coach Brian Kelly (Western Michigan, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, and LSU). Ditto for coach Billy Napier (UL-Lafayette and Florida). This week’s rock star head coach (Lane Kiffin) hasn’t come close to winning a national championship, either Lane Kiffin is the well-traveled 50-year old son of legendary NFL defensive guru Monte Kiffin. The younger Kiffin played quarterback at Fresno State.  He quickly became a top college football assistant coach.  Kiffin worked his way up into the offensive coordinator position at the University of Southern California beginning in 2005. In 2007, the NFL’s Oakland Raiders hired 31-year old Lane Kiffin to become the youngest head football coach in franchise history.  After going 4-12 in his first NFL season, Kiffin was fired by Oakland the following season after a 1-3 start. Lane Kiffin returned to college football in 2009 as the head coach at the University of Tennessee.  After posting a 7-6 record during his first season in Knoxville, Lane Kiffin shocked Vol Nation by leaving to take the top job at USC in January, 2010. Coach Kiffin had three seasons of mild success with the Trojans before he was fired in late September, 2013 after losing two straight conference games early in his fourth season at USC.  Ironically, future LSU head coach Ed Orgeron replaced Kiffin as the interim head coach for the USC Trojans for the remainder of that regular season. Coach Nick Saban hired Lane Kiffin to become Alabama’s offensive coordinator a few months later in January, 2014. Kiffin performed well enough to be offered the head coaching job at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton (Fort Lauderdale area) beginning in 2017. The FAU Owls went 11-3, 5-7, and 10-3 before Lane Kiffin was hired by Ole Miss beginning with the 2020 football season. Lane Kiffin is now in his sixth year with the Rebels.  His Ole Miss football teams have produced a 74% winning percentage with four ten-win seasons in six years. Despite that success, Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Rebels have not played in either the SEC Championship game or the College Football Playoffs. At least not yet. So, why does everyone want Lane Kiffin? This is purely a supply vs. demand problem. There are ten FBS college football teams searching for a new head coach.  The now 50-year old Lane Kiffin has acquired a great deal of experience and (perhaps) a bit of humility in his coaching journeys. Kiffin has also admitted that he is a recovering alcoholic for nearly five years.  He has become closer than ever to his family since taking the job at Ole Miss in 2020. Lane Kiffin is what I would call an “old soul” to be such a relatively young major college football coach.  His ability to recruit top players and assistant coaches for his staff have helped to make him the nation’s biggest coaching “get” on the market. However, Lane Kiffin will become the most hated man in the state of Mississippi for at least the next decade if should accept the top job at either Florida or LSU soon. Which brings us back to The Jetsons Why pay tens of millions of dollars to the next football coach (and an expensive assistant coaching staff) at Florida, LSU, Penn State, etc. if the new coach has such a small chance of succeeding? Remember 2022, Gator Nation?  Fans were giddy about their SEC title possibilities after they hired a former Nick Saban assistant coach named Billy Napier to become Florida’s newest head football coach. Ditto for LSU after they wrangled Coach Brian Kelly away from Notre Dame to coach for the Tigers starting in 2022. How did those deals work out for you? Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) could mean that (let’s say) Grok from Twitter might have a high statistical chance of replicating the success of most major college football coaches in game planning and play-calling. We already know that most major college football teams (especially Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Rebels) lean heavily on advanced analytics and statistical models to make key decisions – especially on certain “down and distance” play calls. What if a college football team which rarely posts winning seasons (such as the UL-Monroe Warhawks) was to hire a cheaper and smaller group of under-30 coaches and fully utilize AI to find and sign key players, develop weekly game plans, and recommend play calls during the game? The money saved on the team’s coaching staff could be rolled into paying for better players. What would a struggling college football team have to lose by trying such an approach? The continued bidding war for both football coaches and players may put the proverbial nail in the coffin for a number of current FBS programs – even with the increased revenue from television and media deals. Perhaps hiring Coach AI UniBlab to run your favorite team may be coming sooner than you think! The post Ready for an AI College Football Coach yet? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Today we'll be digging into the actual job of the Nintendo of America president.

The recent announcement of the next Mario movie as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie got us thinking about the next 3D Mario game. Now that Nintendo is starting to truly become an entertainment company, does it make sense that the next 3D Mario game is Super Mario Galaxy 3? We want to study the clues and bread crumbs and see how likely this is. Also in this episode, we go through the rest of the games coming out in 2025 and talk about which ones we're definitely playing and which we'll be skipping. We also have a big new game we've been playing - Hades 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. WOW! Hear our deep impressions of the game so far.

We are still thinking about the big Nintendo Direct last week and we want to dig deeper into people's reaction to the Direct. Tons of games were announced and Nintendo shared a lot of news but somehow, there are fans who still don't seem very excited about what's to come. Why is this? Is the Nintendo Direct formula, something that Nintendo started 10+ years ago, still working to meet Nintendo's goals when there are so many expectations placed on these presentations? We dig into the history and the original goals of a Direct and examine if it's still working for Nintendo. Also in this episode, we're playing a handful of new indie games and we discovered some new details about Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Ok, whisky geeks, this is why you subscribe the One Nation Under Whisky Padcost. It's in depth whisky conversation like this. Jason and Ewan go so far down the Clynelish rabbit hole, discussing science, flavor, and even mythology, that as they venture down the rabbit hole they bypass Alice and all the inhabitants of Wonderland. It's wonderful.  If you love Clynelish get ready to understand why you love it so much (and then start to love it even more). All Hail the Duke of Sutherland, Ewan Morgan! ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!
