I must say, Resi has found a really good balance of reconciling their older games with their new releases. Specifically in regards to presentation, UI, perspective and mechanics. Especially as their games span several technology generations, I respect how they've managed to build a consistent Resident Evil aesthetic.
It's nice to see where there's so many petitions for older games to be "adapted" for modern audiences. Persona 4 Golden springs to mind as I've recently read articles criticising Atlus for not censoring or adapting the material during its re-release so that it doesn't offend gay or trans people (even though I think this is bullshit, as I've personally known those who have praised P4G for tackling this content at all.) Like all art, games deserve to be recognised as products of their time, not homogenised.
After I finished watching all of the Back with the Bakers episodes I went back to watch season one of Prepare to Try for the 289th time, cause I clearly can't get enough of RKG. Got so happy seeing this upload, WE'RE BACK.
I have been waiting for your reactions to 24:10 since the day this DLC dropped. You did not disappoint!
The reveal on MIchael's name might be one of my favorite parts of any episode of the show. Because it really is just a perfect storm of coincidence that you boys came up with the Michael Zaki thing all those years ago, continuing to use and expand what is admittedly a nonsensical but hilarious bit of nameplay until it became one of the true catchphrases and inside jokes of the company and community. And then the stars align and the RE8 developers just choose that name of all names to toss in.
It's what I love so much about this community, all the great jokes and references that take on a life of their own and help us viewers feel closer as a whole. Cause I tell you what, I doubt any other streamer and their audience could've gotten such a great laugh out of that one simple scene.

Omg its here
Gav looking like groucho marx wtf
Gosh darnit these boys are aging like fine wine! 🙂
I've no idea why but "Terry, come look at this! at 19:57 really made me laugh. Just picturing a baffled Zombie calling over his mate. Loved it.
I really enjoyed playing this DLC, so looking forward to this series!
Watching this with baited breath in anticipation for the scream from the trailer👀

Mushroom Kingdom has really gone downhill.
Lol I love how Rory calls every monster in every single game “a man”. Dragon, Zombie, Werewolf, Mold Monster: “Shit it’s a MAN!” Haha, love you slugs!
"Sheep probably eat frogs sometimes… accidentally." I almost spit out my food. Hilarious 😂
I can’t believe lazy Michael Azaki is hanging out inside the consciousness of the megamycete instead of working on the next Armored Core game.
This was a really good episode of The Truman Sh..Oh Hi Gav! Just saying how much I enjoyed the episode like 😉
The piles of same bodies reminded me of the movie Triangle. TToTT
8:51 ffs Gav hahaha that bit of narration caught me off guard I inhaled some tea laughing
This is an absolute delight, thank you!
Journey to the Mushroom Kingdom 😅
I need to do this quickly before they realized…Gav is lying Rory! You’re the star of Truman Show like conspiracy. Get out while you still can
“Chains. I’ll need some sort of…”
“Beetle?”
After all these years, the boys are only getting better and better at riffing off each other 😂
Dan getting frustrated with Powers on the painting puzzle, that little side eye to Gav absolutely killed me. Loving it boys

Extra big cheers, Michaels
Love the Truman show char boys
57:46 was a classic RKG "well that got away from us" moment.
Absolute gold.
