The fact that Russ said he was a Master Chief and none of you said anything shows a level of journalistic restraint that is commendable.
Thanks so much for this episode, as someone who just got their first handheld emulator last year I have glanced through some of Russ’ videos and was very interested in hearing from him in a longer format in this episode!
I want to specifically thank him for the part of the ep discussing piracy and port master and manually loading your games to a handheld, and tell him that even if those vids aren’t his best performing, we do appreciate them! I ended up buying Shovel Knight on the Humble Store specifically because of his video on how to add SK to your emulator and that that store had the DRM version that was easiest to use!
