My kids (8 and 11) love Smash and it was a huge part of surviving quarantine. When schools closed in March 2020 and they were all of a sudden home and couldn’t see their friends, Smash became their online connection to them. There were several friends who didn’t have the game and between birthdays and early holiday gifts, we got their whole group on the game so they could set up online play dates. Even now, back in school and out of quarantine, they still play on weekends and geek out about it so much! 😀

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Won't Actually Be An Open-World Game. It will feature "open areas", according to The Pokémon Company. In a statement provided to Kotaku, The Pokemon Company said:
"In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Jubilife Village will serve as the base for surveying missions. After receiving an assignment or a request and preparing for their next excursion, players will set out from the village to study one of the various open areas of the Hisui region. After they finish the survey work, players will need to return once more to prepare for their next task. We look forward to sharing more information about exploring the Hisui region soon."

The Carpool:
Brian from Discord: How do you juggle being a content creator and work/life balance? Do you ever find it being too much? Apologies if that's kind of a personal question.
Brendan Myers 5473-0859-1301 @The_WinterGamer: Do you have any game save files that you will never save over or delete because they mean so much to you? I was thinking about restarting my animal crossing file but couldn't because it's an island Bobby visited and got to have big excitement going on in the discord.
Ngachacha @ngachacha: Metroid Dread is a hard game that has been kicking my ass! Boss fights require multiple playthroughs to learn enemy patterns & the EMMIs are relentless! But I'm loving every minute of it. Definitely a GOTY contender. Should this game have included and easy mode? Why or why not?
