Great episode, glad to hear Sarah back on the podcast. Also, thanks JJ for including the Kendrick Lamar track at the end. Been a strange week to say the least.

You don't actually have to own any Amiibo to access the new mini-games in Animal Crossing New Leaf. You can get the "Wii U" and "New 3DS" items either through purchase with MEOW tickets or from fortune cookies (I actually got the "Wii U" item from one of my first fortune cookies after the update). This latter method and actually playing the games does require Play Coins, but you're generating your 10 per day already through walking around, right? ^_^

Finally a podcast that isn't wining about an actual return to the conservatism America was founded on. And wow don't like slow strategic combat do you .... sigh. Is the combat in paper Mario really that bad? Also sorry to hear that persona 5 is not keeping attention. Slow start doesn't bother me as the attraction of persona was always the story and not the combat. And wow is Sarah unwilling to spend money man millennials is right geez. Talk about entitlement.

Can someone explain what 10-4 is and who these people are actually employed by? Love the podcast I clicked due to seeing animal crossing and monster hunter tagged in the bottom bar.
