  You guys just need to have ramblings of Sid hooked up to a soundboard, and then just hit a button every 15 minutes, let it go to the end, and then move on.
  
  What’s a Playstation Blogcast without Sid going on for several minutes about some random topic like sauces, or movies, or some comparison that he has to justify before everyone agrees to disagree and move on..
  
  Need my Token Sid fix.

  haha ok guys I know you can never say me name so hopefully you can remember this…my real name is Luke. It has been so hard for me to balance my time between Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront, its impossible!!
  
  Hope you all have a great thanksgiving, would love to know if Sid has any crazy recipes and if you guys have any gaming traditions during your thanksgiving break.

Finally, The Four Horsemen have reunited for a blogcast. I will check it out later tonight while working that lovely graveyard shift.

  No Sid this week. :( I forgot to snip his photo out of the post before publish time — sorry for getting your hopes up!

  But if Sid’s gone, who’s going to give up control only to wrestle it back again moments later? ;-)

  Whose gonna tell me the RIGHT way to make something, in a way that no one’s ever heard of, even though the RIGHT way might qualify as an entirely new dish all together?

What are the chances of us getting a Blogcast APP on PS4?

Dudes. Dark Crystal is something nobody else will ever understand.

  If you’re seeing this and have not watched Dark Crystal, boot up Netflix and watch it.
  
  Especially if you play Destiny. Surely there’s some grindy, mundane task you’ve been putting off that you can use as an excuse to watch the Dark Crystal until it absorbs your attention away from Destiny and you get put back up into space.
  
  Classic old crazy puppet movie and pretty dark.

Hi Justin, Nick, & Ryan. The PS4 has a Community function where we can create & join.

Can there be a bi-annual or quarterly “Top PS4 Communities” official blog post? This will definitely offer new & existing PS4 owners a place to find PSN friends!

I’m happy to see Nick “AAA” Suttner talking about a main stream game instead of his normal glossing over of big games :) I’m loving Battlefront, especially the quasi space battles.

Ryan, I saw just saw your tweet! Congratulations. Fatherhood seems stressful and complicated… but if anyone can handle it, it’s THE PLAYSTATION POWERHOUSE!

As usual, thank you for the weekly fix, gentlemen! I’m incredibly excited for Bloodborne’s expansion, but I can’t manage to stop playing Fallout 4. I’d really like to hear about your experiences in the Commonwealth thus far. How do you feel about the new camp customization? Have you pledged allegiance to any particular factions yet? Do you have any preferred companions? Preferred SPECIAL stats?

Fun show as always! Looking forward to trying Beyond: Two Souls for the first time.

Nick – coming from someone who also currently prefers more linear games and finds the “millions of things to do” overwhelming as well, I can definitely recommend giving Fallout 4 a shot. The game-play is more fluid, and the story is much more engaging (to me, at least) than previous Bethesda games. It seems to just get better and better as you continue. Focusing ONLY on the story and some side quests that tied back in to the main story, I was able to finish the game in roughly twenty hours.

Really fantastic show!
I especially appreciated the tales of Boston Market and Chinese Buffet Holiday meals, as it used to be a tradition in this house to do Christmas Day dinner in the style of “A Christmas Story”. (I’ve since made the transition into Dickens-esque table fare, complete with roast turkey and christmas pudding. :))) )
It’s funny how in each show you guys always end up being so relatable, whether it’s holiday traditions, as I mentioned, Nick bringing up a great movie (Dead Man! One of my faves!), Justin proclaiming his love for a television show (Rick and Morty! I watched it because of your recommendation!), Ryan coming up with something amazing like, “They look Adorbs Town. Population: Those two actresses” (referencing X-Men Apocalypse lol!), or Sid buying a fallout shelter’s worth of toothbrushes (because c’mon, we ALL want to be prepared… haha)….
The cast of this podcast is just so memorable and irreplaceable.
Thanks for consistently making me laugh and for being the best gaming podcast out there. :D
