I have a question for Paul. In an earlier episode, I remember you saying that you have a large Lego collection. I used to be very much into Lego, and all of their sets seemed very original to me (my favourtite was the Bionicle series). But when recently went into the store, I saw that 90% of the sets were based on a popular property &#8211; Star Wars, Jurassic World, etc., and all of them seemed very run-of-the-mill and unimaginative. And I was wondering: was it always like this? Has Lego run out of ideas in recent years, or is it just my nostalgia talking?<br \/>\nAmnyway, thanks for your time. Sorry that the question wasn&#8217;t gaming- or tech-related, but it is something I found quite puzzling.<br \/>\nKeep Being Awesome,<br \/>\nLino<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As Paul mentioned on the show: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bricklink.com\/\">Brick Link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39:33 Mailbag: RDR2 and Hats<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Desparado-cast,<\/p>\n<p>The recent launch of a Rockstar games platform on PC and the re-classification of RDR2 by the Australian Classification Board has pumped rumors that we&#8217;ll be seeing a PC release for the game in the near future rather than the distant future, or never. With that being said I caught myself thinking about some of the live-streams I&#8217;ve watched of Shamus playing GTAV and his preference for assaulting people with hats to knock off. Do you believe the greater prevalence of hats in a wild west setting will make that particular behavior more fun, or less?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Amstrad<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>49:57 Mailbag: Wendy&#8217;s Game<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So, Wendy\u2019s made an RPG.  Wendy\u2019s.  An RPG. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.feastoflegends.com\">https:\/\/www.feastoflegends.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What really gets me about this is that with most corporations there would be months of fanfare, interviews with gamers, and a huge effort to tie it in with \u201cfast food and gaming go together!\u201d etc.  It seems like in this case (and I may have missed it or have the wrong impression) they just dropped it and were like, boom, we made a thing, have fun!
