How Video Games Shape Your Identity | ReactCAST

Did anybody else notice that Brandel has a voice MADE for podcasts? It's like listening to a cool version of NPR.

I really do like Joe's intro songs. As stated in another comment, Brandel has a great voice for a podcast or storytelling. I started out on the Atari system.

I like the grab bag format for boop marry kill!

My favorites: The entire Fallout series, the entire Mass Effect series, and Battle Toads.

YES...Original Tetris on original Gameboy...still have mine but the buttons are gone

With Kingdom Hearts, years and years back now I gave myself an Organization 13 name. My name is Anton, so my Org. name is Noxtan.

Congratulations on over 10 years of creating amazing content! It's inspiring to see how far REACT has come. Looking forward to many more years of laughter and entertainment.

Video games are 40 to 60 hours of entertainment... meanwhile, here I sit at over 1000 hours on Tears of the Kingdom and still haven't gone in to beat Gannon 🤣 My first video game system was Pong. It hooked up to the TV and was only Pong. It had two paddles with rotating buttons. After that, we got an Atari 2600. It progressed from there, but now I am solely a switch girl. We still have an original NES, Playstation, PS2, PS4, and a Wii. We also have a DS 3D, and two or three Gameboys.

My dad still has the original pong box with just the 2 controllers....still works to this day.

Crash Bandicoot, Donkey Kong, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Harvest Moon, Kingdom Hearts, Mario, Metal Gear Solid, Pokemon, Silent Hill

I just pulled the trigger on Luigi's Mansion on Gamecube. That was expensive. Very expensive. I do not regret it.

My favorites: kingdom of hearts and last of us. Good conversation!!! 😊

Brandel is a cool guy, and the fact that he contributed to the theme song was great!

Joe's making me flashback to my childhood! I had a couple friends who had the NES, and what we would do is borrow each other's console. Can you just imagine doing that nowadays?

OG Gameboy Tetris! That game was so addictive! Even my dad, who thought video games caused brain rot (lol), got hooked.

Marrying Bowser, knowing that he'll ALWAYS be chasing after Peach! Lol Joe's got a point. You know that you'll always be his 2nd choice.

I'm with Joe for the most part on nostalgia, though I have a few years on him - I was born in '76. While I actually cut my teeth on the Atari 2600, the NES dominated my teen years where I truly came to love video games. I waited a couple of years after the SNES came out and got one in 1995 after being part of the workforce, then onto the PlayStation a couple of years later (I skipped the N64) because I loved JRPGs and I needed my Final Fantasy 7 fix and just continued on from there. I also got a Dreamcast back in the day, and yeah, that one was fun to use.

Being a fan of react, I really enjoyed this podcast. Everyone did so great. Joe, I could listen to you all day! Much love to everyone ❤

Thank you Joe for being honest about FF! ❤😂

I'd have to say my top 3 favorite games are: Kingdom Hearts II Final Fantasy VII SoulCalibur (I was obsessed with it when I was in high school!) EDIT: Honorable mention: Persona 4 Golden
