On next week’s The Besties: The members of the Patreon have selected a bonus bracket to share with everyone on the main feed. The best video game console! We’ll return to brand new Besties releases in the new year!
Bonus links:
New Patrick H. Willems: “The Insane Exaggerated Cities of 90s Cinema.”
“The truth about Hot Ones sauces”
Holy moly a fair catch kick actually happened in an NFL game!
“Will taking ayahuasca help you maximize shareholder value?”
New Defunctland alert!
Justin’s villain arc of casting the deciding top 5 vote for Metaphor ReFantazio to then almost kicking it out in exchange for AstroBot was diabolical. I’m amazed at Plante’s restraint in responding to this truly unhinged move.
Maybe there should be a patreon bracket episode of “Besties Game of the Year #1 picks,” could be a fun look back at some games ya’ll hadn’t thought about in a minute!
