but of course!

I’m so hoping that the PR people who go over the questions reject any mention of friends

I’m really hoping the questions are gonna be meaningful and varied and hopefully not too PR filtered. :crossed_fingers: A difficult thing to ask perhaps, but just holding out hope anyway haha.

Apply common sense, then lower your expectations. :slight_smile:

Ask yourself if bigger outlets have ever asked Phil any “hard” questions.

Then apply that thinking to a small outlet like us that has very little access to him

Then set your expectations there

Phil, are you a fan of FRIENDS?

No worries. I didn’t mean to say necessarily ask hard questions, but just something really meaningful and beyond the stuff we usually see being asked on most occasions, again and again. Like “How did you start at Xbox/Microsoft, what do you think of the 2013 launch, what is your most anticipated game”, etc like those, questions that we kinda can already know the answers for, and feel more like formalities than genuine new insight into something, it can be about Xbox or about Phil himself. I meant it like that, the PR filter stuff I mentioned was additive to the rest and not necessarily reflective of wanting the whole exchange to be this unfiltered SWAT game lol. Like I know PR wouldn’t allow Phil to confirm or deconfirm his love for Friends, for example. :smirk:

As long as Persona 5 is mentioned at least once I’ll be happy lol!

That went quite well, I’m happy. A nice 12-minute long chat.

Hahaha

I am so excited for later!

I’m really humbled that we’ve seen so much community support and interaction from everyone - it’s what has driven our overall success, and I’m super proud and grateful to everyone that makes it possible.

Particularly want to thank the team that write, make videos, art etc and maintain our forum. It’s this huge herculean effort that is largely behind the scenes and in my humble opinion, the quality of what we make, and how we go about it goes toe-to-toe with the big publications in the industry.

Tonight is just a really good affirmation of all that hard work, and a celebration of all the gamers that supported us on the journey from passion project to something greater.

Even now, wheels are turning to try and add one last very cool reveal to tonight’s show, that will be of particular interest to our Patrons first, to help us refine before going out to the wider public.

I’d love for this episode to be our biggest and most viewed yet, and I look forward to seeing many of you in the chat!

:green_heart:
