  <description>We have a new series running on The Tube- patrons at the "Tube Producer" level or higher get to pick a topic to talk about. OG supporter of the show Chris Nelson is the first up, and he chose to talk about the top 3 video game items that are too good to use. The items that we keep telling ourselves to "wait until we REALLY need it", and then the game is over. We discussed our top 3s and learned a little bit about ourselves along the way. 
If you'd like to participate in an episode like this, you can support Tales from the Backlog on Patreon! (patreon.com/realdavejackson) at the "Tube Producer" level or higher. If that's too steep, there are lower tiers to support, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/realdavejackson) or support in any other way you can!
