[Peer-IGN]

Warning, Jared and I get too excited about N64. But Casey told us in advance it was okay. This episode could've been nine hours long. :)

[James-MexiKop]

I could listen to Jared and Peer talk about N64 for hours. Wonderful insight, a real highlight in the history of NVC for me.

I miss Jared's input at IGN, and with Peer & Seth's history, this is one of my most favorite NVC Podcasts. I do love you too Casey :)

[sherpawhale]

Sorry to see Casey go, but happy to know NVC is in good hands! Her passion for Monster Hunter was unmatched and she led the show well!

Thank you for your time in the host’s chair Casey! You did an excellent job! I hope you’re able to make some NVC appearances in the future. Looking forward to Seth taking the reigns. That guy is pretty, pretty good.

Thank you Casey for hosting. It was nice to have wholesome Nintendo host. Your apprentice will, should, do you good. One wholesome person to another. Be well and see you on the guest spots =)

HEYYY!! Casey we will miss you!! Loved having you as a host. We’re close to the same age so hearing your throwback stories was always a wonderful trip down memory lane. Wish you the best on your new adventures!

I've always been a fan of Jared. He always struck me as a very genuine person with a caring heart. I like when IGN brings on former alumni back on the shows. I liked when Alannah came back on. I'd love if Audrey Drake, now of Nintendo, could come back along with Richard George and Jose Otero (now of Nintendo). My dream lineup would be Peer, Brian, Jose, and Audrey for an NVC reunion show. Either way the current and past IGN cast are fantastic. Casey does a fantastic job hosting the show between Monster Hunter tangents and keeping the show on track in a way that Jose used to do and Seth is my favorite "young old" guy that makes me feel like I'm not the only 32 year old watching Nintendo coverage still. Seth is hilarious. Whenever Brian is on it's automatically better. I've probably only complimented the NVC crew over the last decade on 100s of videos but I just want to express how much I've appreciated this show. IGN has a great way of finding the most passionate, talented, charismatic, down to earth & eccentric gamers, and personalities who make a job that's a lot more work seem a lot easier from the outside looking in. I know there's a lot more work behind the scenes but everyone is doing a great job. I still feel there is so much potential for this show to grow and I'd love to do anything in my power to help it succeed even if that is just leaving comments of my appreciation from video to video. Get the Thing and I'll "Listen!". Much love to you all.

[Leepee]

I’ll miss you hosting Casey! You’ve been such a joy and I’ve enjoyed your passion for Pokémon and Monster Hunter! Good luck with the new responsibilities

[ZafVirex]

Definitely haven't forgotten Jared! It was good to see him on an IGN podcast again.

[YoshMaster]

Welcome Jared!! I miss your knowledge in Game Scoop!

[nathanarnold]

Yooo let’s fucking goo Jared petty!?!? What a great addition to the podcast this week

[GeorgeFistonich]

This N64 remembrance was so nice -- so great to sit under the Peer and Jared learning tree. I learned a ton and was teleported back to being 9-12 years old during the N64 heyday.

[JamesC]

Thank you so much for hosting 💗
I'm glad we had such wonderful episodes and I hope to see you take over the show for an entire MHR_SB discussion.

[Whiteoyster]

Jared! I love you so much it was amazing seeing you back on! I hope you are doing well!

[andreweilermusic]

Wonderful cast and discussion this week. Thanks as always for doing these!

[KentheDeer]

A bit surprised that no one brought up Star Fox 64 and the MOTHERFRIGGIN RUMBLE PACK. That gizmo was mindblowing when I first used it. THE CONTROLLER BUZZES WHEN THINGS BLOW UP IN THE GAME?!? AMAZING!!! What a thing to be excited for...

[segabon]

This episode has got me so excited to play N64 games again when they come to the Switch.

Few people can just talk and talk about video game history quite like Jared. It's just so soothing to listen to. I love seeing IGN alums come by the show now and then, and very fitting for the anniversary episode! And congratulations on all the great work you've done for NVC Casey! You definitely won't be forgotten in the long and impressive line of NVC hosts. Seth has big shoes to fill (but I don't doubt he'll do just as wonderfully)!
