Summary: We’re joined this week by Stephen Duetzmann, who tells us about his favorite moments from E3 (which we previewed in<a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-99-e3-2018-preview/"> episode 99</a>) and CTFIG.<br> <br> Contest<br> But first, contest winners! Congratulations to:<br> Laura Prickett<br> Donald Highley<br> Will Griesmer<br> And thanks to all of the people who <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/giveaway-for-episode-100/">donated towards our prizes</a>.<br> What we’ve been playing:<br> Stephen is (finally) trying Fortnite. Although it’s free to play, the upgrade is well worth it, and less expensive than most other subscription-based games. If your kids want to play this massively popular game, check out this <a href="http://engagedfamilygaming.com/videogames/a-beginners-guide-to-fortnite/">beginner’s guide</a>, and check Engaged Family Gaming for more information over the coming weeks.<br> Stephen also praises <a href="https://octopathtraveler.nintendo.com/?gclid=CMGA6d6qptwCFQdugQod5isF6A&gclsrc=ds">OctoPath Traveler</a>: “If you are a JRPG person and own a Switch… this is required reading.” Pixel sprites on a 3D plane; 8 heroes, but their backgrounds / quests don’t intersect in a meaningful way.<br> <a href="http://www.cupheadgame.com/">Cuphead</a> – Andrew beat it!<br> <a href="https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/rayman-legends/">Rayman Legends</a> – it’s neat to see our daughter blossoming into a determined, precise gamer :) It has also introduced our children to some interesting music.<br> <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/unravel-two/c4vklmg1hlzw">Unravel Two</a> – we really enjoyed the demo of this platformer/co-op on XBOX ONE. The rare sort of co-op where the weaker player doesn’t feel left behind.<br> Andrew played and beat <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/halo-5-guardians/brrc2bp0g9p0">Halo 5</a>. Story was … better.<br> Andrew also tried out <a href="https://www.recoregame.com/">ReCore</a>, and he liked it a lot.<br> The kids tried some <a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/super-luckys-tale">Super Lucky’s Tale</a>, but fell in love with <a href="http://www.ninjabee.com/games/akingdomforkeflings/">A Kingdom for Keflings</a> (at least it’s only $10.)<br> Anitra rants about how hard it was to set up both “big” kids with Xbox ONE accounts, because no offline account option is available. But once you get past the difficulty of setup, the defaults are pretty intelligent… and the default screennames can be hilarious.<br> <br> Top moments from E3<br> The theme seemed to be “stand and deliver” – nothing shocking, but everything that was expected was great.<br> <br> * Frozen characters will be in <a href="https://www.kingdomhearts.com/3/us/home/">Kingdom Hearts III</a> (“I was right all along”)<br> * <a href="http://megaman.capcom.com/mm11.html">MegaMan 11</a> – very good, cheap, and will be available on everything.<br> * <a href="https://starlink.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/home">Starlink: Battle for Atlas</a> (“the best StarFox game ever made”). Toys-to-life with spaceships/pilots/weapons that are all customizable – and NEED to be customized to beat elemental weaknesses of enemies. Our kids saw the video (the ship attaches to the controller) and it blew their minds.<br> * <a href="https://www.ea.com/games/anthem">Anthem</a> – “Destiny but everyone is Iron Man”<br> <br> Andrew asks about the new <a href="https://insomniac.games/game/spider-man-ps4/">Spiderman</a> : apparently not quite as much like the Arkham Batman games as it appears. Coming in September!<br> CT FIG<br> CT FIG is much like Boston FIG, but is hosted with <a href="http://connecticon.org/">Connecticon</a> (a fan convention: comics, cosplay, video games,
