Who is this person? I watch a ton of Polygon youtube stuff and I don't recall him.

He wrote reviews and other stuff

I don't watch any of the video stuff, he probably didn't do any of that

I'm kind of disappointed Please Retweet stuck with the Toad instead of asking other companies to retweet similar edits.

how about the new EP of TPS everyone?

it's good, they cover Catherine and Ashley has started playing Persona 5 for a second 100 hour playthrough. Allegra's multi screen habits are briefly addressed.

I sometimes do two things at once, especially a podcast while playing a game. But I have no idea how Allegra manages that. I would go insane having two TV shows on at once, let alone having other screens going as well.

Fuck the DH
This seems like The Verge, where I enjoy the YouTube content but can't stand the actual site because it's like two Microsoft-related posts and a whine about Trump.

I thought without Arthur Gies that maybe Polygon will improve, but they're still using inflammatory titles that kick people in their lizard brain and provoke them to post hot take reaction comments. I visited to be greeted with an article called "You Should Buy Destiny 2 on the PS4" when the actual content of the article feels like "There's Some Disadvantages To Destiny 2 On PC, Here They Are."

I think Sega, or at least the Sonic social media team, is way more easygoing when it comes to interacting with fans in good humor, so I don't think this one will be as much of a challenge.

Nintendo posting a regular-rear end picture of Toad, like, the day a new episode of Please Retweet came out was one of my favorite things about this, though, so maybe Sega'd play along in the same way.

They usually start 1100 PST on Tuesdays but sometimes its a bit later.
Sucks because it's juuuuust late enough that I can't play a couple rounds.

Russ casting Travis as the first Tower Climber because he resembles Shaggy from Scooby Doo is pretty clever. This was a neat episode. They're never dull but this was one a lot of fun. Griffin's efforts at setting up a boss level were really endearing. Dude just can't help but commit to a joke.

I'm still working my way through the early episodes and I caught myself getting a bit spergy about Allegra mispronouncing a few characters' names, but then I realized that of course she has no idea how their names are pronounced, she's probably never heard them over the cacophony of two TV shows and whatever else. Video games must be a purely visual experience to her.
