#GameFace! The Words Cannot Hurt Me

Before we get into what games we're sprinkling on our breakfast, we have a very important announcement. 
 
Hawke's Bay (where we're based) was hit by a cyclone earlier this week. Power and fiber lines were cut, roads were washed away, massive flooding and a lot of devastation was left in its wake. If you're interested in seeing the fallout, check out this link. And if you feel like you want to help out with the relief efforts, feel free to donate here. We're not expecting you to, so don't feel bad if you can't. 
 
Now back to the games! 
 
#FriendlyFeb continues with Lee playing The Grand Tour, and when he's not under water, he's having a whale of a time. Yelling at the other Top Gear hosts, racing around, doing all the things that The Grand Tour does. Including lots of car things. 
 
Kyle is knee deep in The Witness, and supplementing the puzzels with Madden '23. From a peaceful puzzle game, to a peaceful NFL game. Kyle has some choice feedback for Madden as a new player. And if you want to join him and teach him how to play, that would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Simone is washing away the thoughts of #FriendlyFeb with Powerwash Simulator, and friend of the podcast - Chillidawgs - ended up cleaning the firestation without a ladder... Not to be outdone, Simone decided to clean everything with the smallest hose. Because why not! Jump in, wash the world and listen to this podcast. It will help you feel relaxed as, bro.

#NuNews: Don’t Question Skyrim

Our intro was written by ChatGPT. 
And our outro was too. 
The bots look like they've arrived
What, oh what, are creatives to do? 
 
The bots are really coming for our jobs... But I think we have a little more time before it becomes a reality. So, tell us! What do you think? Do you think ChatGPT does a better job than we do? Would you want a podcast composed entirely by a bot? (The correct answer is no, of course.) 
 
What were the top 100 Xbox games for 2022? Luckily you asked, because we have the answer. And we don't think you're going to like it. Because Kyle did not like it at all. Can you guess the number one game? Are you like us and disagree with this list? 
There's new controllers - left and right, everywhere you look! This one is purple and that one has a screen on it. Oh my! 
 
Ubisoft+ is flinally headed to Xbox, at least according to a bunch of rumors. But is it going to mean that all the current Ubisoft games get pulled from GamePass, or will it be a value add like EA Play? We hope its the latter, as there are some amazing Ubisoft games we want to jump into. And we dont want to lose access to the games aready on GamePass. 
And to top it off, we have a story about ourselves! Or more like a story about Lee. From Lee. Seems he may just enjoy talking about himself. But hey, content is content, so we're not going to argue. 
 
And our very first change for Season 7 is that the Nu & Noteworthy game section is now called Kyle's Game Thing. Please all welcome Kyle's Game Thing as a segement to the NuNews format. Tell us if you like it, hate it, want it changed back to just happy that we're back to putting out podcasts.

#GameFace! You’ve Hit a Tree, Jim

Welcome to Season 7! 
Can you believe it? Because we can't. 
 
We have a lot of games to catch up on from our Christmas break and #FriendlyFeb, so what better way to start than to talk absolute nonsense. Starting with #FriendlyFeb we go over who is paying what and how a certain someone has already failed that challenge... 
 
We have some questions from the peanut gallery. I mean fans! We have some questions from the fans. If you think you can ask better questions, then jump into our #Discord and throw us a few curveballs. We love to answer anything you ever wondered, so keep them coming.
