Video Games and Mental Health | Mario Movie Trailer Impressions | Crash Returns!

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's our 175th episode! To celebrate this major milestone we, er, well there's only three of us but what a trio! Rossko, Kat and Miles get together to talk the weeks news and where better place to start than with the clues pointing to a brand new Crash Bandicoot game being revealed at The Game Awards this year? Rumours are rife with speculation that we may see Crash's long awaited game Wumpa League at Geoff Keighley's annual game trailer expose, so be on the look out for that. Is Kat hyped? Well, you're gonna have to listen to find out..Elsewhere the biggest news of the week without a doubt was the reveal of the first footage from The Super Mario Bros. Movie from Nintendo and Minion's creators Illumination. The discord around this game has been rather insane so we try to collate it all and share our own opinions on what the trailer showcases and if we're excited to see the rest of the film. Oh, and if Chris Pratt is the right voice for Mario. Will this continue long into the wee hours? You better believe it, Rossko might bitch about this until the sun scorches the entire planet so buckle up. Ahead of a possible full podcast on the subject we also get into the affects of gaming on our mental health, as each member of the team share their experiences with games and how they've helped them get through some hard times and some of the stigma that still surrounds gaming as a whole. 'Never feel stupid for finding comfort in a video game'. Our Game of the Week segment returns with Miles talking Undetected, Kat shares her slice of Lemon Cake and Rossko goes all basic bitch and talks his time with FIFA 23.Enjoy the ep!If you're looking for someone to talk to please call the following numbers (UK);The Samaritans: 116 123Mind: 0300 123 3393 or http://www.mind.org.ukALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!
