Pretty sure it’s “champing at the bit” and the “bit” is the metal bar that goes in the horses mouth as part of its bridle.
Loving these discussion videos. Great for those times when I just fancy adding something to my collection… aka “the backlog”
14:03 "Champing at the bit" comes from being eager about something the way a horse who is eager to run will bite and pull at its bit, that metal rod riders put in its mouth to which the reins connect, often forcing the rider to exert control through the reins. Some people get snooty about the phrase being "champing" where most people say "chomping," but they both just mean biting, don't they?
It also creates the phrase "give them their head" meaning freedom to do what you want, because a rider would stop trying to control the horse's head with the reins and let it run freely.
Horses chomp at the bit in their mouth. Pretty sure thats where it came from. Like a race horse waiting for the race to start chomping at the bit.
The tree stump sounds like a very interesting character.
Quite gripping to hear what happened to him after your relationship didn't flourish.
Everyone has that one game that they keep close to their heart in each platform and Luigi mansion 3 is exactly that for me for the Switch.
Absolutely love your content. You guys made me discover so much hidden gems on the Switch that it became my favorite console. I wish you the best, especially for the future of this channel, you really made it into something engaging and fun. Thank you sincerely 💖 You can always count on my support.
Away on holiday in Corfu this week boys so the missus won’t let me play anything had to leave the switch at home 😂😂 I wouldn’t care I kept Dread specifically for this holiday
Contra For my nes 1985

Turrican. Goodness, now I feel old. I remember having this on my Amiga 500 plus. Good times. But, Moonstone was where I spent more time.
Been playing Blossom Tales 2 which I've been really enjoying and AI: Somnium Files, which I'm not sure about yet lol. Also been dipping in and out of Dragon Quest XI again; first time since completing it 2 years ago, like slipping in to warm bath! I intend to just play it slowly and pick it up now and then whenever I feel the need to over several months. Playing that instead of Live A Live for some reason! Gotta play what you feel but would like to start it after completing at least one more game.
I've been playing Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom. For a Kemco RPG, it's quite fun and smartly designed. Definitely one of their gems. I really appreciate how little it wastes my time and so many things makes logical sense. Not everything, mind you, but a lot of it is quite good.
Waiting for xc3 wiki/fandom to fill up,, absolutely no way I can 100% the game without community wiki,,
Voyage looks delightful! Thanks for the tip.
Xenoblade 3 releasing inspired me to finally play Xenoblade Definitive Edition, which I’ve had waiting for me for years. I’m always so intimidated to pick up a long game. But I’m enjoying it so much, I’m about 25 hours in. I also don’t quite get all aspects of the battle system…I just control Shulk and hope my AI teammates are using their Arts fine lmao. Eventually my goal is to play 2, the DLC, and then 3, but I’ll definitely be taking breaks between them and playing other games. These videos are really nice to listen to while I work, so thanks so much for them!
Chomping at the bit is a horse term I think it means they are so ready to race or buck
@ 4.42 😱i waz born dat year!
You guys gonna do a slaycation paradise review?
As soon as you said Strider, I added Kemono Heroes to my wishlist. Want a Stride game on Switch so bad!
Guys, if you love Turrican, you absolutely must check out GunlordX. It’s a port of a 2019 Dreamcast game and is absolutely a love letter to the series. It’s available on Switch and is the closest we’ll get to an official sequel.
"mhm"
I'm not sure which video it was posted on but I bought Hotline Miami on cartridge, such a great pick up, the soundtrack is amazing. Thanks for sharing that gem
Voyage looks so dreamy! I'd purchase it for the art style alone. There's this other new game called Islets. Looks like hollow Knight maybe. Wonder if you guys tried it.
Games I've been playing recently:
1. A Musical Story – I'm really enjoying this short rhythm game. It's not like other rhythm games where you just play songs, but it has a whole story between each chapter which is really engaging.
2. Fe – 3D platformer, I've had my eye on for awhile, and finally bought it. Am enjoying it for the most part.
3. Cuphead – Not really working through it, but have been playing some co-op with the kids. It is fun!
Xenoblade Chronicle 3 is an absolute masterpiece. The Consul theme song is a BANGER. The characters are incredible, the story is engaging, and the combat is *chef's kiss*. I am in LOVE.
Almost 300 hours in Xeno 3, amazing game
This is a quirky little platformer. It’s like 18 quid……😐 yea, that’s to much. 😂😂
Luigi's Mansion 3 is such a fun game, I absolutely love it! The only thing I wish was a little different was the amount of Gooigi needed for puzzles, could've been less and made it more enjoyable.
Games to wait for a sale with Topdee and Toodee and maybe Turrican. So that will be more games I will have on my backlog. As I can't get my games caught up at the moment as I am playing 3 games at the moment well 4 and they are Lego Star Wars Skywalker saga just love the silly little humour in it. And then TMNT which is just reliving my youth in the arcade it is just so good. Then again another game from the arcade Donkey Kong but I play caravan mode which is just 5 minutes hi score chase. Then the normal version Donkey Kong.
Luigi mansion 3 one of the reasons I bought the switch, really interesting game
I recommend Luigi's Mansion 3 as a go to co-op game and one of the best looking on Switch. Love it.
14 hours into Xenoblade 3 and I couldn't agree more.
I am going to buy Voyage tonight. 100% up my alley and never would have heard about it so thank you boys!
P5R on PS4 and Great Ace Attorney on Switch. Needless to say I'm reading a lot.
I'm playing trough the new content for boyfriend dungeon. I'm just one of the rare niches that love that game
just for the record i do believe chomping at the bit refers to horses chewing their harnesses and stuff if they were antsy
Any chance you’ll be able to add Australian eshop cards to the 10% off? Y’all are bleeding me dry and my Wishlist is a mile long with all these videos so get some back in discounts would be great haha
Turrican Anthology is a shame because the C64 versions are mission. Even the descriptiom by the publisher is wrong. Claims that Turrican was developed by Factor5 for the Amiga. The first two games were developed by Manfred Trenz at Rainbow Arts. Factor 5 did the Amiga Ports. Although part 2 was released a little earlier it's still a port. Manfred clearly stated that the C64 version is the original version. I grew up playing those two games on the C64. They among the best games on the system and it kinda hurts that they seem to be forgotten.
