He didn't get a raise, although him and the rest of the VA crew probably should have. He did say he was happy to ignite some discussion about it, even if he didn't get the pay bump.
I'm sad he didn't get it, but happy he's playing Bender. A different VA per episode would have been interesting, I admit, but I would prefer John in the role 10 out of 10 times.
I enjoyed games like SOCOM and Monster Hunter, but my favorite memories came from the homebrew scene.
The PSP was the first thing I learned to "hack" as a kid. Installing dark_alex's M33 CFW (I hope I'm remembering that correctly) was just incredibly exhilarating and exciting. It was like unlocking a whole new aspect that didn't exist before and the whole experience was just fucking cool.
I still maintain my original PSP-1000 to this day, and fire it up once in a blue moon just to relive that nostalgia.
Throw Fallout 3 and New Vegas on it. IMO, they are excellent games for the Deck. The older graphics look fantastic on the smaller screen and they run perfectly without issue (aside from the typical Bethesda bugs built in).
