pretty good. That weekend went by
pretty fast. But what am I going

11
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.640
to do? Complain about it?
I guess so here we are already getting

12
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:53.200
in the complaints from Mike Manatti.
Got I got several of them throughout the

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.000
show. Yeah, you're gonna I
thank you for spreading them out. I

14
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.000
appreciate that you're so thoughtful. It
really keeps the pace going. Uh,

15
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.759
I'm all about the pace. I'm
upset that we are Like the color of

16
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.239
our shirts is very similar. Yeah, I mean this is I'm almost surprised

17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.719
you're wearing a graphic tea again.
You've been such a Hawaiian shirt, muscle

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.079
shirt. Sometimes you're right out of
them. It's we got the air on,

19
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.359
we're doing, We're doing. Okay, it's my bandcho KAZOOI shirt.

20
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.519
I like this one a lot.
It's a good shirt. Yeah. Yeah,

21
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.239
I's a reminderybody that I'm a disgusting
Disney adult. Yes, of course,

22
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.719
learing Donald Duck. Yeah, listen, don't don't try to like like

23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.959
charm us by being like, oh, I acknowledge that I'm a Disney adult.

24
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.400
No, you need to just earn
your shame and live with it.

25
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.719
You need to let us make it. Okay. Really we get to call

26
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.760
you that, you can't call yourself
a Disney adult. Look, if the

27
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.040
disgusting anime nerves can be go mainstream, there's Disney adults still. Yeah,

28
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.480
fair enough? Maybe maybe? All
right, before we get into this mess,

37
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:27.360

38
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.840
get into, so let's start the
Morning Mess with Pokemon Presents stream coming August

39
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:38.000
third with new tip with new details
on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. These details

40
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.000
come from Michael mccorder at Polygon.
The Pokemon Company is preparing for a major

41
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.560
update on all things Pokemon, with
a new Pokemon Presents video presentation coming this

42
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.120
Wednesday, August third. Wednesday's Pokemon
Presents stream will stream on the Pokemon YouTube

43
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:57.120
channel will start at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific. In addition to Pokemon

44
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.840
Scarlet and Violet, we may get
updates on games from devices like Pokemon Unite

45
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:07.719
and Pokemon Go and fingers crossed word
on the fate of a long awaited Pokemon

46
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.000
Sleep Mike, what are the chances
that we get Pokemon Sleep? I hope

47
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.960
so, Jeff, I have been
slept in like two years since they announced

48
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.120
it now, right, So that's
right how we're supposed to do it,

49
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.120
right? Yeah? Yeah, because
it's like, okay, sleep is canceled

50
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.479
until the Pokemon let me. And
it's been kind of rough. I think

51
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.319
that's why I've been aging so horribly. I've been so so cranky lately.

52
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.240
I was I was making spaghetti,
my leg fell asleep. So the big

53
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.360
thing I think about with this is
that we are waiting for a very long

54
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.159
time to hear about Pokemon Scarlet and
Violet. People have been saying when are

55
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.039
we gonna get this event? It's
it's on its way now, right,

56
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.319
So what should we expect? You're
you're my main Pokemon guy, Mike,

57
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.759
Not really, but yeah, just
pretend to work with me on this.

58
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.479
Yeah, you can do this.
What are weeks? What should we expect

59
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.599
to see from this? H We'll
see some new Pokemon, will probably see

60
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.599
some of the gym leaders. At
least one of them will be a waifu,

61
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.840
and everybody will be very excited about
that. Jeff by Trainers, I

62
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.560
met gym leaders specifically, and then
you know, like like some of the

63
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.319
kind of bullshit features that they throw
into these things, like you know,

64
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:18.439
a fashion show or whatever, a
bit of that. But aside from that,

65
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:25.120
I guess, you know, we'll
get a sense of how open world

66
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:31.600
and how much less linear this one
is. So I guess that's exciting because

67
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.759
there are still some questions about that, right, like just how arcis ish

68
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:42.160
is this one and how traditional is
it still? Yeah, I think that

69
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.000
it is Pokemons in a slightly weird
place. It's not in any sort of

70
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.360
weird place where it is in any
danger of like losing relevance or not selling

71
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:55.079
well. But it's like, hey, there are pulling tensions on what people

72
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.720
want from the next game, and
you know, especially after Ark, I

73
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.680
want to be more like Arks.
I could see them definitely taking bits and

74
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.240
pieces of that and appliance to this
game. The big thing for me is

75
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:12.759
I'm hoping we see slightly less random
battles. Have they have they established whether

76
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.439
or not that's going to be the
case with this one, I forget,

77
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.519
I would imagine not. I mean, so you know, Sword and showed

78
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:23.040
had that like Open Frontier or whatever, where it wasn't random battles exactly,

79
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.399
which seems so much like, who're
testing this for the next one? Right,

80
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.600
Basically, I have to imagine that
the direction. I mean, even

81
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.000
the less Go games didn't have the
just straight up random battles and tall grass

82
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.480
anymore. I think we're I think
we're beyond that now, Jeff, except

83
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.720
for like the remix of some of
the older games at this point. But

84
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.240
but I don't know. It's always
hard to tell, and it's sure to

85
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.800
feel a lot more satisfying and Archias
just to like see an actual Pokemon on

86
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.199
the wold and then literally throw your
Pokemon out near it. And that's why

87
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.439
biggest sert is I liked Arkias so
much that this isn't going to be enough

88
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.720
like that. Still, It's still
going to feel more like like story of

89
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.199
Show, which was fine, Like
I enjoy play at the time, but

90
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.279
nothing about that experience stuck with me
very much. Yeah, I suppose that

91
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.639
is Like that's the thing like if
you were someone who maybe fell off Pokemon

92
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.800
or you found something in Arcist like
I did, that was like very enticing

93
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.360
and kept me playing. I still
want to go back to it. I

94
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.680
haven't beat it. I still want
to go back to it. They're not.

95
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.920
This is probably the main formula.
They're not going to change up so

96
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.160
much. They already have Archists.
They are probably going to Sure they'll modernize

97
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.199
this, but they're probably not going
to change it up so much that it's

98
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.639
just like Archias. That seems very
unlikely, right, No, exactly.

99
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.319
I mean we do have those games
now, and there's going to be a

100
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.959
sequel to Archists at some point,
Like you know, this is still going

101
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.959
to be go out there, get
collect your gym badges. There's some questions

102
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.079
about how linear that is now.
Uh, you know, like like I

103
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.240
forget this was a rumor or something
that actually said, but supposedly you'll be

104
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.360
able to go and do the gyms
in any order, but they're not going

105
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.839
to be scaled necessarily, so there
will still be in order you should do

106
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.120
them. And so well, it's
like a half steps kind of towards this

107
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.959
more free, open world Pokemon thing, kind of like Arcis, but still

108
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.279
probably not. Yeah. I've gone
on record saying I enjoy things that don't

109
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.319
scale. I like that because it's
like I like going into places where I'm

110
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.759
not supposed to be and then maybe
maybe I'll get like, oh, a

111
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.120
weapon that enables me to do a
short cut, Like I'm not supposed to

112
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.720
be here, but I can figure
it out. But I get what most

113
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.759
people are saying, where it's like, oh, I do want to just

114
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.399
go to this place and get these
Pokemon. And now I'm still kind of

115
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.399
being locked out. I'm being gated
not by an actual gate, but by

116
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.480
the difficulty. And yeah, that's
steps. Yeah, like a in like

117
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.759
an elder ring, it feels like, oh, if I'm not here,

118
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.959
I can still kind of be clever
and work around it. In a Pokemon,

119
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.959
if a Pokemon is fifteen levels higher
than you, I don't really know

120
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.160
what you can do about that.
Yeah, and that might be like if

121
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.759
they don't do the other side of
that, like when you're describing there,

122
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.480
Yeah, that'll that'll be an issue. All right, let's go back to

123
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.920
this screen and say this next story. Sony says it believes Xbox owning Call

124
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:11.000
of Duty could influence users console choice. This comes from Andy Robinson at VGC.

125
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.199
Sony believes Call of Duty could inspire
users to switch to Xbox following following

126
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.480
Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activission Blizzard.
That's according to the company's official response to

127
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.920
questions from Brazil's regulatory body, as
spotted by reset Era, which, like

128
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.199
many regions, is currently studying the
proposal. The proposed deal for approval.

129
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.279
Large portions of the Sony's response highlight
the importance the PlayStation firm puts in Call

130
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.279
of Duty, a franchise which it
claims influences users console choice and it's questionnaire

131
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:45.039
answers. Sony calls Call of Duty
an essential game, a blockbuster, a

132
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.639
triple A type game that has no
rival. According to a twenty nineteen study,

133
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.960
the importance of Call of Duty to
entertainment in general is indescribable. The

134
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.720
company said the brand was the only
video game IP to break into the top

135
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.039
ten of all entertainment brands among fans
joinny powerhouses such as Star Wars, Game

136
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.039
of Thrones, Harry Potter, and
Lord of the Rings. And that's the

137
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.519
end of that quote there, Mike, Yeah, right. We get Call

138
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.919
of Duty is huge, and we
get that it would be the kind of

139
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.039
thing where it could affect people's decision
making process when they say, Hey,

140
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.519
where am I going to go play? Where is this best at? But

141
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.279
it is where it's best at,
right, because they've said so far,

142
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.159
as far as we know, Call
of Duty is not going to go exclusively

143
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.120
to Xbox in any meaningful way.
So what's the big difference here? It

144
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.200
might be you know, available free
on game Pass. Do you think that

145
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.879
is enough to like move the needle? Do you think Sony's Sony's saying here

146
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.200
is real? And I think it's
certainly real in terms of how important Call

147
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.879
of Duty is and outright losing it
would be would have a giant impact on

148
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.399
PlayStation. It just being on game
Pass on Xbox. I mean, it's

149
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.080
going to have some small impact yet, but I don't think a giant one.

150
00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:58.960
I don't think that's going to be
the kind of thing where it's like

151
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.399
we have to worry about the future
of PlayStation now because of that move.

152
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.240
Yeah, it's I think right exactly. And now and they think, you

153
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.159
know, they go on to say, like, oh, it's it's the

154
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.480
kind of thing where it sells so
well that it usually out sells every other

155
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.039
game except for maybe a few,
even in its bad year like it had

156
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.279
this past year. And like that's
like one of Sony's answers, Like even

157
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.279
in a weaker year, Call of
Duty still managed to perform you know,

158
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.159
everything by a considerable margin, and
it's like, okay, yeah, this

159
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.639
is a an industry moving game,
but it's it's hard to see people being

160
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.320
like, well, if I'm already
invest in PlayStation, I could still just

161
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.039
get it on PlayStation. If that's
if, Then if they're thinking they're gonna

162
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.039
be fine, I think having their
friends already on one platform, even with

163
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.200
cross play still being a you know, bigger thing, it's still if they're

164
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.559
friends already on one platform, they're
gonna continue in that way. Uh.

165
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.000
I suppose though, if you are
someone who is very price conscious, uh,

166
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.600
having the game pass option available could
be the kind of thing that could

167
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.519
move things. To me, this
still feels like Sony might be like maybe

168
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.480
playing it up a little bit because
you know, who knows, maybe the

169
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.440
deal get blocked or something if they
play it up. But overall, I

170
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.799
don't think this is gonna hurt them
too much. Well yeah, maybe they

171
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.919
are playing it up still, just
again to reinforce that going forward, Microsoft

172
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.879
better make sure that these are still
in fact coming to PlayStation, not just

173
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.639
for like a couple more years or
a few more years until some some deal

174
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.480
is up, Like we want this
for the long term or else. Then

175
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.080
Sony, who's been relatively quiet about
like, you know, like like these

176
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.759
mergers and how it's bad against them, might start raising more of as think

177
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.519
about it, maybe even might like
trying to find some government buddies and whatnot.

178
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:45.399
Right exactly in chataj ash Man,
a j Man says, sixty dollars

179
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.000
once you're still less than one hundred
and twenty dollars in ten dollars a monthly.

180
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.159
Yeah, I mean, but you
have to pay for like Xbox Live,

181
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.399
you have to pay for PS plus. So if you're paying for like

182
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.399
Xbox Live Gold to be able to
play that online, then it's like,

183
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.000
well, why and I just pay
the five extra dollars or I could just

184
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.879
get you know, to get Xbox
Live Gold all wrapped into there and it's

185
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.919
part of the price. I mean, I think people will make do that

186
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.919
arithmetic for themselves. But I do
think some people will be convinced by game

187
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.879
pass. I just don't think it's
that much. I agree with Mike though,

188
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.440
that this is the kind of thing
where maybe they are looking for caveats

189
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.559
to this deal, are looking for
conditions to be put on the deal.

190
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.159
It's like, well, listen.
If you backtrack on is keeping this game

191
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.720
multi platform going forward, there will
be a price to pay, and Microsoft

192
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.879
will be pretty sensitive to that.
I think they'll probably be trying to avoid

193
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.320
that as much as they can.
Analog Pocket gets a long or weighted update.

194
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.919
Here's what is and isn't included.
This comes from Christopher Grant about Polygon.

195
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.879
A full half year after it's intended
January release date, a beta for

196
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.360
the highly anticipated one point one release
of the operating system that powers the Alog

197
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.480
Pocket is finally out. While it
comes with support for additional controllers while docked

198
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:00.720
the Memories the Memories feature which stores
saves states, and the open FPGA feature,

199
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.000
which promises support for new consoles via
third party core development, the beta

200
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.639
doesn't include all of the expected features. Notably absent is the full library feature,

201
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.879
which populates game data when you insert
a cartridge, and the screenshot feature,

202
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.639
which will also populate your save files
under Memories. Less officially but perhaps

203
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.240
of more interest to Pocket owners,
it's unclear if this analog OS one point

204
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.360
one milestone has been what's holding up
the long awaited jail break, which,

205
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.879
foaming all previous Analog products, promises
to replicate the built in functionality while adding

206
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.720
support for sideloading ROM files. There's
you know, the big features here is

207
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.919
stuff like, yeah, you can
have the controllers. You can have one

208
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.840
hundred and twenty eight different save states. Previously, there was a beta version

209
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.919
of save states where you could press
like, I think the analog button and

210
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.279
up or something like that on the
dpad and that would save a state.

211
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.519
And then you could press analog the
analog button down and that would load the

212
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.519
state. But then if you were
to switch games, you would have to

213
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.440
like override that safe state. This
enables you memories, enables you to save

214
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.200
a whole bunch of different safe states. So it's like, okay, that's

215
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.679
kind of like meeting a minimum bar
for how most like software emulators work.

216
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.159
So it's good that they've gotten here. Right. For some people in chat

217
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.759
confused, the analog pocket is not
the play date, which is the one

218
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.000
that Craig, this is the one
that is like the fancy new game Boy

219
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.720
that plays game Boy. You're you
made this mistake. You have an analog

220
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.320
pocket. You made this mistake a
few weeks ago when we were talking about

221
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.799
it, and it's you ask me
some question about it. I was like,

222
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.759
I don't have an Analog Pocket,
and I like, definitely do and

223
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.360
use it all the time, and
I still thought you were talking about a

224
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.360
play date for Yeah, it's weird. It's I guess that's just like this

225
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:48.320
is getting like getting conflated in people's
heads. But there is some good news

226
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.279
for people who want to do crimes. This comes from Anthony Wallace at retro

227
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.320
do Dough. Analog Pocket can now
run ROMs thanks to open FPGA update.

228
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.360
Just hours after the launch of the
OS the version one point one beta firmware

229
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.720
update, the Analog Pocket can now
run ROMs thanks to the new open FPGA

230
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.840
feature. Analog is always sure to
clarify that their devices is not designed to

231
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.360
offer software emulation and that the use
of game ROMs is not an officially supportive

232
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.720
function, but a bunch of developers
have already put stuff out on GitHub.

233
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:26.879
Let's see Spiritualized nineteen ninety seven launched
two FPGA cores for the Pocket, open

234
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:33.960
FPGA GBA and open FPGA GB and
GBC. So if you want to load

235
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.720
these cores onto there that you can
then open these cores and run sideload of

236
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.399
ROMs right directly on the thing.
You could already do that to an extent

237
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:48.919
with the GB Studio feature built into
built into the analog pocket, but that

238
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.080
wouldn't work with game Boy Advanced games. So now you can do that and

239
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.559
you don't even need to jail break
it. It just works with the open

240
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.360
FPGA things. So Mike, you
have a pocket, you could go and

241
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.799
upsdate it right now? Are you
going too? Are you going to take

242
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.919
advantage of these features? What's up? Yeah, I'm gonna update it.

243
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.440
We'll see about the whole wrong thing. I still have some cartridges of games

244
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.159
that I that I planned to play
crew and that would still work, those

245
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:11.720
features, that would still function perfectly, so you can still do that,

246
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.360
right. It was actually at the
used Game store yesterday looking at their Gameboy

247
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.480
Advanced games and they had twenty Hawk
pro Skater two and it was listed for

248
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.799
eight bucks, and I got excited, but it was the game Boy Color

249
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.960
version accidentally put in the game Boy
Advanced section. So instead I got Tony

250
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.799
Hawks Skate Park for five bucks,
which I never heard of. Probably not

251
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.840
good. Actually, yeah, right, I don't know the game Advanced game.

252
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:41.120
It's well, well it's skates Spout
s K eight, So I assume

253
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.600
it's like the skate Land era but
like the Game Boy Advanced one. Yeah

254
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.080
maybe, yeah, but robber Wolves
says, please play that on the internet.

255
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.360
I would like to see that,
because it's just a case that it's

256
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:56.799
like some sort of like Chinese reproduction
cart of like of a ram hack or

257
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.960
something. Did I not buy a
real game? That was? What the

258
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.240
hell? What the hell is Tony
Hawks skates? Like? Okay, Skateland,

259
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:11.599
Tony Hawks American Skateland, right,
that thing that was like one of

260
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.559
the early DS games. So maybe
there's some overlap there and that came around

261
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.880
at the same time on GPA.
Maybe it was like Skateland is real?

262
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.480
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, But
he's saying skate park skate like get this

263
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.599
cartridge, I'm getting this car.
Yes, yes, all right, We're

264
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.519
gonna do some investigation if they do. What has he done? Everybody?

265
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.799
He definitely bought a repro Is this
thing real? Oh my god? This

266
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:41.119
is incredible? This is even better
skate Park. I gotta okay, Tony

267
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.759
Okay, Yes, well done,
Mike Manati. I am definitely going to

268
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.519
take advantage of this of this stuff. I was already doing that with the

269
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.319
Game Boy stuff where it is,
in fact, actually just American Skateland.

270
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:52.759
I don't know why it was caught
up. Okay, alright, alright,

271
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.839
okay, I didn't. I still
didn't know they made a game Boy Advanced

272
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.799
version, like there's a really good
Dyes version. Yeah, but that was

273
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.799
like literally like one of the very
first DS games, and so of course

274
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.519
there was like still Gameboy Advanced games
coming out at that time. That makes

275
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.799
sense. All right, well,
god, I mean there's just so many

276
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.680
like fake game Boy Advanced cards out
there. Once you started talking about this,

277
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.920
I'm like, maybe that's what was
happening. I have a real game

278
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.440
now. Yeah. For I was
kind of like because it would have been

279
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:19.559
a fun story, like figuring out
where where did this come from? What

280
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:26.240
have you done here? But yeah, uh, it's curious Vicarious Visions make

281
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:27.680
the Gameboy Advanced versions. Still in
that case, maybe it's still gonna be

282
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.079
good. We'll see, Oh yeah, it's probably gonna be good. Yeah,

283
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:36.200
but I'm sure Vicarious Visions made like
all of those like handheld ports all

284
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.599
through that era. I think they
made the American Skateland too, I think,

285
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:44.319
but yeah, they would have made
the Gameboy Advanced one those Gameboy advanced

286
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.880
Tony games are very good. Yes, that's why I was excited when I

287
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.640
was thought I was getting Tony Ross
Kater too. But I'll sell for this

288
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.880
and maybe I will just download a
rum of two now since I can.

289
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:59.720
Right, we'll talk more about the
future of open FPGA and analyt pocket here.

290
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.079
In the first let's keep moving on. Steam, Epic and other digital

291
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:08.559
storefronts are currently banned in Indonesia.
This comes from Aaron Kelly at games Beat.

292
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.960
Digital storefronts like Steam, Epic,
Game Store Origin and others are currently

293
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.759
banned in Indonesia. The Indonesian government
made it a requirement that digital companies who

294
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.720
failed to register with the government wouldn't
get placed on a whitelist. As it

295
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.799
turns out, a whole punch,
a whole bunch of companies didn't register with

296
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.119
the government. The ministry. You
have a big weepsidopsie. The Ministry of

297
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.960
Communication and Information Technology of the Republic
of Indonesia COMMONFO as it's known, pushed

298
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.839
the regulation against private electronic systems providers
in late July. According to games industry

299
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:47.000
analysts company Nico Partners, COMMINFO has
four main goals with regulation, establishing a

300
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:53.000
system of all PSEs operating in Indonesia, maintaining Indonesia's digital space, protecting public

301
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:59.240
access on digital platforms, creating a
fair system between domestic and foreign PSCs,

302
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.759
including in terms of tax collection.
It is it's a this is a bit

303
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.920
odd because it's like one of their
standard goals is to protect public access on

304
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.240
digital platforms, and now a whole
bunch of people can't access digital platforms.

305
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.880
Kind of a weird move, huh. It is? And like man I

306
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.920
for some of these major people like
Valve, it's like, what did these

307
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.519
emails go into their spam ford?
Yeah, exactly, yes. It seems

308
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.920
like it would have been an important
thing. I imagine like they woke up

309
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.079
one day like what do you mean
when you're not in Indonesia anymore? What?

310
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.759
Yeah? Right? What did they
want to see? This graph?

311
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.119
Or indoon? Usually like the money
you just went like and I'll fell off

312
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:37.720
a cliff. What happened here?
And then someone like looked into it like

313
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.319
oh okay, there's a lot of
calls be made. I mean, I

314
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.240
seem like all these people are now
racing to get this done. You would

315
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.599
have think that like a month ago
or something, that would have been some

316
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.720
pretty heavy like hey, don't forget
to do this. Yeah, this thing,

317
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.039
Yeah, this is the kind of
thing where it's like like bureaucracy and

318
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.839
corporate like it's probably pretty easy to
overlook these things. And maybe even if

319
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.039
you did know what was coming,
which I think Benise companies probably did know

320
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:03.880
it was coming, it's probably like
how do we, like, we haven't

321
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.960
done this before, what do you
want from us? How do we fill

322
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.839
out these forms? Where do we
send it? Like who needs it?

323
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.240
And like even if it got there, did it get processed? I mean,

324
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:18.119
who knows? It's like there's the
problem here is like this they're gonna

325
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.559
have to be like a start from
scratch thing because it's going to do a

326
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.759
big, big dent to the entire
industry overall. Because you got to think,

327
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.559
like if you were someone who was
like a content creator in Indonesia,

328
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.799
like your game's just evaporated, and
even if you wanted to stream them is

329
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.240
twitch and are like YouTube is up? A Twitch isn't working right now,

330
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.000
So it's like, Okay, your
your whole channel is just not it's going

331
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.359
to you know, a wither and
die because no one's gonna be able to

332
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.079
watch it and even if when it
does, you're not gonna have anything to

333
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:51.480
play. So it's like this real
weird reset and they're gonna have to go

334
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.519
through this the growing pains again of
getting everything back on its feet, like

335
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.200
a giant mess. Yeah, and
like there's no word on exactly if this

336
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.599
is gonna get cleared up quickly or
not. It's like, Okay, if

337
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.200
Valve goes and like rushes to fill
things out, will they get turned back

338
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.559
on immediately or is that gonna be
like is there going to be a big

339
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.400
line now because everyone's rushing to turn
it on? So yeah, a big

340
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.200
mess. Uh. Multi Versus players
unlocked a new Rick and Morty stage in

341
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.759
just three hours. This comes from
Andy Robinson of VGC. The highlights of

342
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.240
the story include Multi Versus players have
unlocked a new Rick and Morty theme stage

343
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.240
after completing a community challenge in just
a few hours. The Crombulen stage required

344
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.640
players to collectively accrue more than ten
million ringouts in the free to play brawler,

345
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.240
which they managed to do just three
hours after the challenge was announced on

346
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.720
social media. Crombulens is the first
new stage added to Multi Versus since the

347
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.079
game went into open beta earlier this
week, show us what you got.

348
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.000
Yes, right, this not too
surprising. This game seems very popular.

349
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.440
So ten million ringouts in three hours
seems just about right. Have you been

350
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.720
keeping up with this game? You
know? I was streaming it on was

351
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.400
it Friday or something and I got
in the stage. I didn't realized it

352
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.400
was some kind of a thing that
it was available. That's right, Yeah,

353
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.720
I remember you like seeing the Rick
and Morty stage. Yeah, yeah,

354
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.319
so I was like, oh,
the Rick and Morty stage. That's

355
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.400
weird because those kids aren't in the
game yet, but the stage is so

356
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:11.440
so yeah, there we go.
I guess, I guess that makes sense.

357
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.400
Now. That's always kind of a
fun way of unlocking sure things,

358
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.680
even though it's like the goal is
so big it's like as an individual,

359
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.240
you can't really do anything about it, right, But it's still kind of

360
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.440
fun, like, oh, eventually
this is gonna unlock because we're all playing

361
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:32.839
what what is that game? Where
it was it a It's the one where

362
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:37.640
the boy is like growing and he's
trying to reach girl. Uh and like

363
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.200
everyone everyone's like contributions to the game, contributes to how long boy is.

364
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.880
It's like I think it's from not
Be not Be boy. Thank you chat

365
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:52.400
Yeah boy like boys like like he
reached girl, I think, and then

366
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:55.640
like he's like on his way to
like Jupiter or something. Yeah, it's

367
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:57.799
like those like PS three era stuff, wasn't it. Yeah, it's that's

368
00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:02.839
it's the first of all, is
that game still online? And second did

369
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.440
he reach Jupiter? Probably he's probably
not going very fast anymore. Huh,

370
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:10.799
it's probably not growing at o no
to cell processors have slowed down. Now,

371
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.000
girl made it the Pluto and back
right? Okay, fantastic, nice,

372
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:17.200
he said, Girl. I can't
remember which one, guys, thank

373
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.839
you. What was the Peter mah
on his thing Cuba or the which one

374
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.759
of the one where you touched it? Everyone was tapping cubes together something called

375
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.519
Cuba, Yeah, something like that. Yeah. The winner was supposed to

376
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.960
get like money from from curiosity Cuba
or something like that. Curiosity. Maybe

377
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.359
it's just called curiosity. Yeah,
maybe that sounds right. But yeah,

378
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:40.440
you tapped the cube and then the
person who was tapping it right when it

379
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.519
opened would get money, but they
would also be in charge of the next

380
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.440
game. And I don't think that
game ever came out. I don't think

381
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.279
that. I think it came out
of some for him because it was like

382
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.960
his his like some game. It
was like the kind of yeah, god,

383
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:55.119
it's right right right, But it's
like I don't think they'd ever like

384
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:56.960
got a full it was like earlier. It was what it was supposed to

385
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.839
be, certainly in terms of like
they're being a like God character, which

386
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.519
was supposed to be that guy right
exactly. So anyhow you're supposed to get

387
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.400
like money from like the profits of
the game. I don't think there are

388
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.160
any problems, right, So so
put that guy in multiverses is what we're

389
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.160
saying. That's what I want.
Yes, that'd be great. Yes,

390
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.799
it's only fair. It's only fair. Speaking levels, The Stephen Universe level

391
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.000
was great just because I was playing
that orchestrated so I was like, I'm

392
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:26.079
like really impressed by that game in
terms of like, oh, it's like

393
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.400
really going like the Batman the animated
serious theme song plays on some of the

394
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.319
levels. Uh, It's like,
yeah, all that stuff is just really

395
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.279
good. Yes. The only thing
I'm like slightly doubted is the actual game

396
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.319
feel of it, which is don't
yeah, but explaining yourself, you are

397
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.759
a dirty, dirty Smash Bros.
Smash doesn't feel nearly as good as Smash

398
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.359
Brothers. Did you switch the controls
to the Smash control such controls. It's

399
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.759
not that I know, it's I'm
just obviously I feel like that there is

400
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.480
an option for make this feel more
like Smash Brothers, Like, yes,

401
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.920
please, I would like that,
but just you know, hit boxes don't

402
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:07.160
seem quite as sharp. You don't
have nearly as many moves per character.

403
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:08.759
You don't have like the tilt attacks
or things like that, you don't have

404
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.960
grabs, uh and whatnot. Plus
you have a lot of cool down abilities.

405
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.359
I don't think that feels great when
moves are on down. Uh,

406
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.000
Like you know, I get,
I don't. I don't like the purchase

407
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.119
them either. But there's things I
haven't played a whole ton of it yet,

408
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.720
so maybe I'll get past a lot
of that. But probably was like,

409
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.359
man, I wish Mash Maybe yeah, maybe you're just snob up and

410
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.160
steam and play online, because that
would be great, Like that's the best

411
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:34.559
thing that has going for is how
easy it is to start this game,

412
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.799
yes, and just start playing.
Yes, people online and it's free to

413
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.160
play, so there's a lot of
kids playing you'll beat them up and feel

414
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.759
good about yourself exactly. And although
that was probably true Smash Brothers for a

415
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:49.799
while, maybe not so much anymore. I like the way MultiVersus feels anyhow,

416
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.519
the next tumor you suck at Smash
Brothers. That's all it is,

417
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.599
is that you're like this, this
is like gonna be my thing because I'm

418
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.559
bad Smash Brothers. My thing is
how good I am at multi Version.

419
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.279
I don't think it's that. I
think there's just something about the attacks that

420
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:08.680
feel that make more sense to me. I would say that they feel better,

421
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.599
but they make more sense to me. Oh my god. I mean

422
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.880
when I do an attack, it
feels like I'm doing an attack, and

423
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.440
Smash Brothers does not feel that way
anymore to me. What I don't even

424
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.279
know that. I don't even know
what that means. You're you're probably maiming

425
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:26.559
rain Dog. You're probably making your
weird oc character. You just absolutely with

426
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:27.759
that. Wow, that's pretty offensive. The way you said all that,

427
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.039
the way you all said that it
was just make it sound like you don't

428
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.599
think much of rain Dog. Know
what takes much of rain Dogs. I

429
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:38.599
one of the last times I've played
Smash Brothers a couple of times since this,

430
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.319
But the last time I played Smash
competitively in public it was at Packs

431
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.599
and it was for Greg Miller's like
inter in industry, like trophy or whatever.

432
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.359
And I got to the like one
of the last rounds, and then

433
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.920
I got teamed up with a guy
named Dan Reichert, and I like knew

434
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.640
Smash was going to be in the
thing. It was then, just it

435
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.839
was before Smash Ultimate out right,
was like, I think that's what it

436
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.519
was. And so I'm like,
Mike, tell me what I need to

437
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.839
do in case I end up playing
Smash, and He's like, just play

438
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.039
as like Cloud, because I think
Cloud is pretty op uh. And I

439
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.000
did better than I thought I was
going to do. But we totally lost

440
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:17.119
because me and Damn we're on a
team against two other people. We totally

441
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.759
lost because I just jumped off the
side and got us, oh you know,

442
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.000
lost us. One of our lives
got a minus one instead. So

443
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:29.440
maybe maybe I helped the watch.
Maybe I hold some grudge against Smash Brothers.

444
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.839
Who knows, who could say?
I think you absolutely if you're saying

445
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.240
things like you think that the the
attacks just feel more right and multi verses.

446
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.119
Yes, I think they just feel
like I'm doing something and I don't

447
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:42.759
feel like I'm doing anything against Smash, you know. Moving on, the

448
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:47.680
next two Raider could have Laura Croft
leading a team of tomb Raiders. This

449
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:52.680
is by Andrew Robertson. Then Yes, the tomb Raiders h According to an

450
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:57.400
alleged script a leak, the Next
tomb Raider is internally known as Project Jawbreaker

451
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:02.599
and is described as an action adventure
games set in modern day world rocked by

452
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.480
mysterious cataclysm. Laura Croft is now
at the top of her game. The

453
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:10.839
alleged script reads, gone are the
days of the young and experienced women dealing

454
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:15.640
with women dealing with the matters of
legacy and familiar familial reckoning. Laura has

455
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:19.400
let go of her childhood and fully
embrace the life of an adventurer. Her

456
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:25.160
legendary career has been lauded and printed
in tabloids, tall tales of adventure that

457
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:29.039
have inspired a new generation of tomb
Raiders to seek their fortunes in the world.

458
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.359
With this new phase phase of her
life, Laura has fully accepted her

459
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.400
place among the ruins. For many
years, Laura plunged into the depths of

460
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:40.400
the Forgotten Places, played cat and
mouse with many nefarious opponents, and worked

461
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:44.079
to uncover, preserve, and protect
the law secrets of the world lest they

462
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:49.240
fail into the wrong hands. The
big change here is that is that she's

463
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:53.000
been inspiring these other tomb Raiders,
and as the years have passed, Lara's

464
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.400
become lonely at the top. On
this new adventure, Laura will encounter a

465
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.440
challenge she can only overcome with a
team at her side, collaborations foreign to

466
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.640
her. She's always exceeded alone,
so in this situation, she's a fish

467
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.440
out of water. This is like
pretty familiar stuff, but also I think

468
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:14.440
it's going in the direction that maybe
the series needs, because most it feels

469
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.240
like things that work these days,
stuff like fast and furious things where it's

470
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.759
like it is about family, it
is about a team and maybe giving her

471
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:25.680
other characters to work well, Like
even Uncharted did that right, and Uncharted

472
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:27.839
for it was like you were spending
a lot of time with these other characters

473
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:33.200
and building up these relationships and always
had those other characters with you when uncharged,

474
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:34.200
Okay, well, and Tom Writer
hasn't had that stuff. I'm not

475
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.839
I'm not the biggest uncharged guy,
so I would I actually wouldn't know,

476
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.559
but like just that only speaks to
it more like tomb Writer, you are

477
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.000
almost always pretty much kind of on
your own, Like you should maybe start

478
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.119
the game with a team, but
then they fall away pretty quickly and you

479
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.920
like lose track of them. Now
you're just stuck alone in the tombs.

480
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.680
And I don't know if that it's
not like Metroid where Sam's being alone is

481
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.640
I think core to what makes Metroid
work. Tomb Raider. I think it

482
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:06.200
could be like, hey, we
are adventurers, and sure I'm Indiana Jones,

483
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.559
but you could be Selah and we
could like have this relationship that's important

484
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.640
to our adventures. I guess there's
just a lot of questions, like what

485
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.559
is the squad? I mean,
this could be anything from like here's these

486
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:19.680
NPC characters sometimes too, here's three
people who are walking with you all the

487
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.000
time. I mean, it could
be like a Halo five Guardians thing.

488
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.519
Jeff right, like we don't think
of I mean, you know, kind

489
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.799
of their like master Chief is sort
of just this big hero and having him

490
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.759
with three assholes the entire time,
we're just always talking or whatever. And

491
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.000
that didn't really add anything to it, maybe made things worse. And and

492
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.160
then the other direction is this like
really leading up to like being some kind

493
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.440
of four player coopy thing. Is
that what they're really trying to do?

494
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.279
Here? Are we making our own
tomb raider? I don't know, I'm

495
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.599
not. It's not a direction that
I have a lot of excitement for.

496
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:57.920
Personally, I would be completely fine
with just super confident Lord Croft going into

497
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:00.960
tombs by our stuff. I mean, especially like that was the best part

498
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:06.240
of those last games, was going
into the tombs, and that very much

499
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.000
I think was important for her to
be by herself because those tombs were like

500
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:13.359
creepy. And yeah, not everything
about the direction of those new games were

501
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:15.799
for me, but I did like
when they kind of went into Temple the

502
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.759
Dooms sort of like environment horror,
I guess you could call it. And

503
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.960
that sort of stuff would not work
very well with like three people, two

504
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.519
of the like one of them is
the jokester, and you know one of

505
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:29.799
them's gonna be the jokester. I
don't know, Jeff, I don't know

506
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:32.079
what. I bet one of them
is good at computers. I bet one

507
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.599
I'm gonna be good at computers.
Yeah, one of those probably gonna be

508
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.720
kind of flirty with floor Cross.
Oh yeah there. Yeah, there's a

509
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:42.559
there's supposed to be like a lesbian
romance in the game too. Yeah,

510
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.119
that's that's part of this story as
well. So yes, you're right.

511
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:50.559
Still just threw that one at me. Yeah sorry, oh yeah, yeah,

512
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.400
Mike, what's your opinion on lesbian
romance? Oh god, I think

513
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:58.640
it's great that there's all these characters
in there now everything. Wow, you

514
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.079
said it very hateful before that.
Now you've come around. I got your

515
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:06.960
ass. Yeah, well that could
be into a bigot trap. Yes,

516
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.119
well, we'll see how this all
plays out. This game is probably pretty

517
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.920
far away. It's an unreal Engiing
five game. It could change many times.

518
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:17.880
They could come around to what you're
saying, where it's like having or

519
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:21.920
be alone in some of these tombs
is is crucial, and you know,

520
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:23.839
they could maybe even fit that into
what they're trying to do with this wider

521
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:30.160
script here. But you know,
I think the script is much more likely

522
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.119
to change than like, if they
to serve the gameplay in the end,

523
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:37.119
then for the gameplay to change to
serve the script. I think that's the

524
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.480
most likely scenario. What is the
likelihood that the game is actually called two

525
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.720
Raiders, Like that has to be
the It's like a thousand percent it is,

526
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.359
like, so gonna be called Tune
Raiders. Mike absolutely good. Well

527
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.960
at least yeah. I think he's
smirking, like, got it, I

528
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:57.200
got that one, I got it
all right. EVO twenty twenty two,

pretty beefy list of of companies. Do

544
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:07.559
you think they will all have substantial
new stuff or will mostly be like,

545
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:08.880
oh, yeah, we showed up
for here's an update on some characters that

546
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:13.360
we already you were coming. I
mean, Capcom will show off some new

547
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.000
Street Fight or six characters and not
open like exciting even though they all leaked.

548
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:22.039
We'll see them in the game and
Whatnotuh wbs there. I mean,

549
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.920
what else can they can they have
this time mix? Well, I guess

550
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:28.559
they could also just show new characters
from multiverses. But maybe we're going to

551
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.920
see the next thing from another realm. Finally, it seems like it's time.

552
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:36.440
Maybe it's just a multi versus character
huh now that I think, now

553
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:38.159
that you said that, yeah,
you're probably right. Every time we do

554
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:40.920
this is how it goes. We
get excited and we think like, oh

555
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:45.360
yeah, there's that other thing that
just is like so much simpler. Yeah,

556
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:47.880
that's probably right, multi versus character
like don't get your hopes up,

557
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:52.320
And it'd be cool if like we
saw you know, Injustice or Mortal Kombat.

558
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:54.360
Like again, what I've heard is
they're working on Mortal Combat, but

559
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:59.119
it's been a long time since I
heard that, so maybe things changed.

560
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.679
I don't know. Bandai Namco is
going to be there with some sort of

561
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:05.599
anime fighting game now. Our system
Work is also going to be there,

562
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:08.719
so I don't know if it's time
for a sequel to Dragon Ball Fighters.

563
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:13.039
They just they what did they just
they just released a game in like the

564
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.519
last year, right, so they
could have a character as well. Yeah.

565
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.280
Our system Works has like two games
now that like look as good as

566
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.920
Dragon Ball Fighters, but they're based
off of anime franchises I know nothing about,

567
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:27.039
so okay, they kind of they
kind of go over My part of

568
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:28.679
me is it kind of bummed out. But that's like, oh, I

569
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:32.119
wish they'd make a new fighting game
thing for something I care about. Persona

570
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:36.559
one, which is above anime filth. That's completely different. Oh right,

571
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:38.719
right, completely separate, right,
yes you can. That's good. You're

572
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:44.320
keeping yourself clean with that persona right, okay, sure exactly? Uh And

573
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:46.679
then like SNK I don't know,
I don't know what is saka afternoon.

574
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:51.519
They know they still make kingd of
Fighters games, so maybe something with that.

575
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:54.000
Probably, yes, there was there
was like a recent kick. Maybe

576
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.960
they'll announce that they fixed King of
Fighters doesn't have like really bad online or

577
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.440
something. I think I remember reading
that sea Yeah, so I'm like,

578
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:05.719
hey, we fixed that and now
it works severe. It says Persona is

579
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:09.039
mid culture at best. Wow.
Thank god MJF taught me what mid means

580
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:15.239
that I can know how wrong that
statement. All right, let's let's get

581
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.480
to the ketchup. I wanted to
talk a little bit more about FPGA core

582
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:23.920
developments. Yes, my name's Jeff
Grob and I like FPGA core development.

583
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.840
What does FPGA stand for? Jeff? Yeah, Field programmable gate array.

584
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:34.199
Now do you want to know what
that means? Yes? Please. Basically,

585
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.599
it's like it's like a big chip
and by setting off certain gates within

586
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:44.920
the chip, you can make it
behave like other chips. And so by

587
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:46.920
by showing off gates like it becomes
like less and less powerful each time,

588
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:52.400
but it's you can emulate something like
you can make this chip behave exactly like

589
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:57.079
in any s chip or a Supernatural
or a game Boy Advance, and you

590
00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:59.639
can get in there and just do
it in the hardware. It is hardware

591
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:04.199
emulation should instead of what we traditionally
think of as software emulation. FPGA is

592
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:07.119
pretty cool technology. Intel subsidized it, which is why it's been affordable in

593
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:12.119
any way so far. But and
it is probably a big part of the

594
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.440
future of like all kinds of technologies, but it's right now. It's mostly

595
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:20.280
used so we can play our old
video games and have our midlife crisises together.

596
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.199
Yes, alright, alright, let
me see here, I'm gonna bring

597
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:30.119
this up. Let's transition over.
This is from Bob from Retro RGB.

598
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.360
He noted an FPGA dev and this
is what he wrote on Twitter. And

599
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.840
FPGA dev just posted a poll on
their Patreon account asking if we thought they

600
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.480
should port their course to the analog
pocket. Well, I'm always learning and

601
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:45.519
involving my opinions. After almost twenty
years of being in hardware dev, my

602
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:50.559
opinion is split, but very strong. Basically like he's saying that, like

603
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.840
it is a very cool piece of
hardware. Peep it's it's very popular.

604
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:58.559
If you were to import your course
over to Analog Pocket, a lot of

605
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:01.480
people are going to use it.
But one of the things that frustrates a

606
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:05.880
lot of these developers is this is
not open in the same way that like

607
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:08.960
the Mister project is open. Mister's
just like you go get parts, you

608
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:12.840
build it yourself if you want.
People can build it for you if you

609
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:17.079
want. But it's completely open,
and these cores are portable and available and

610
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.880
and all that stuff. If you
make a core for the Analog Pocket,

611
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:25.760
you are essentially doing development work for
Analog and you're not getting paid for it.

612
00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:30.960
Like that's you are improving the quality
of their hardware without getting paid.

613
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.360
And I think, and you know, Analog itself has a bit of a

614
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:40.920
you know, kind of a rough
reputation in this community already, but I

615
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:45.039
think that a lot of stuff is
going to be sort of overwhelmed by just

616
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.320
how much demand there's going to be
for these things. We saw like as

617
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.840
soon as that OS went live,
there was GPA and g GB color and

618
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:57.000
Game Boy cores all right there ready
to go. Also, just be clear

619
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:00.320
the game the game Boy and game
Boy Color core was the same core because

620
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:01.280
they're the same system. Oh my
god, you shut the hell up.

621
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:06.679
I went to my retro game store, Jeff, there are separate sections for

622
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:12.400
game Boy and Gameplay Color. How
I'm like dunk shop in the middle of

623
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:17.719
nowhere. It's not gonna know we
should that should just be the poll.

624
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.239
That should just be your stupid poll
today. Let's see what that can be,

625
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.800
right about it? If we've been
yelling at this forever. Are the

626
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:30.599
game Boy and game Boy Colors separate
platforms? Are not? I think they

627
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:36.719
absolutely are distinguished between the two all
the time. I think I have done

628
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:38.480
that poll before. I definitely,
I definitely did it. I think during

629
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:43.440
the grub snacks, I think,
but hey, I'm not I'm not against

630
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.199
winning again. I'm not against winning
against So yeah, absolutely, gosh,

631
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:51.960
thank you Dan, Oh my gosh, thank you Dan. The exact same

632
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.280
hardware, but we sure you have
different consoles, even though oh my gosh,

633
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:59.400
no, I I saw some video
about like games that pushed the game

634
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:02.320
Boy Color to the limas like funny
how that there's apparently games the same limit

635
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:07.840
as the game boy, except for
maybe more colors. Oh my gosh,

636
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:13.760
whatever, I hate you. I
think that, uh, this is conversation.

637
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.840
Like, there's always a lot of
scene drama in retro game scenes and

638
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:22.599
game preservation, and that's the kind
of stuff that can turn toxic and turn

639
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.440
people off. I think mostly I
like anal Pocket. I think it's going

640
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:30.920
to try to our analog is going
to try to introduce the stuff and sort

641
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:32.880
of stand back and hope for the
best. And that might be the best

642
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.840
like case scenario for them, where
like they don't don't try to force anyone

643
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:40.039
to do anything, don't try to
like encourage it in any weird way to

644
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:43.559
say it's there. If you want, if you want to experiment, go

645
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.199
for it. I bet in the
end we get quite a few course developed

646
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:52.360
for the Analog Pocket. Will the
abs refined as what's going on with the

647
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.800
Mister project? Almost certainly not.
And if that's the stuff you care about,

648
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.400
go get a mister instead. But
I think it's I really want to

649
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.000
play stuff on the Salmon Pocket screen, so I hope it kind of keeps

650
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:05.719
growing. Uh. I also want
to catch people up on this near automoda

651
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:07.920
mystery. Mike, have you have
you kept up with this at all yourself?

652
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:10.800
Yeah, relatively, Jeff. I
think like a lot of people,

653
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:15.679
I was like, oh, maybe
this is like the weird way that that

654
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:20.119
they announced the sequel to this game. But maybe it is just one weirdo

655
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.719
modding the game like crazy to get
a rise out of everybody. Sorry you

656
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:27.880
USI and Chad says, the Game
Boy Color processors twice as fast and that's

657
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.320
three times the RAM and I'm trying
to forget how to ban him. Let

658
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:35.119
me see him. It's the same
at that, saying, except for these

659
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.760
differences. It's the same processor.
Yes, it's upclocked, but it's not.

660
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:43.960
It's just not like so is the
Nintendo DSi is upclocked. Oh okay,

661
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:45.519
whatever, we're not. We don't
have to do this. I could

662
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:50.119
just hate you in private and quiet
and solitude and not have to get everyone

663
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:53.039
else hate me because I'm right.
No, because you won't. Just admit

664
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:58.880
it all right. Near Autonomous mysterious
Church revealed to be work of moditors.

665
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.360
This comes from Michael mc a Polygon. The mystery of Near Automoda's hidden church

666
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:06.559
has been solved, or rather,
the people behind it have fessed up to

667
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:10.119
creating the mod that made it possible
and controlling the community with a month long

668
00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:15.400
reveal of their work. On Thursday, the redded account sad Futago, which

669
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.719
first posted about the undiscovered church in
early June and released multiple videos that the

670
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:24.719
previously of previously unseen content, posted
a new a series of new images from

671
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:30.199
the church area with cryptic messages.
Those messages ultimately led to a Twitch account

672
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:32.960
that streamed even more footage of the
church, a new boss battle, and

673
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.039
another completely separate area. At the
end of the playthrough of near automodous church

674
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:42.159
area, the people behind it revealed
themselves and the moding work they'd done to

675
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.559
make it possible. Three models,
going by the names Devilis Revenge, Woeful

676
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:50.639
Wolf, and Radar b explained what
they had accomplished. They moded near Automoda

677
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:54.320
in a way that view thought possible
and created something so carefully designed that many

678
00:43:54.360 --> 00:44:00.519
thought Platinum Games or Square Innis themselves
were responsible. Everything we have shared has

679
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:02.559
been completely in game, the group
said, no editing was used. We

680
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:07.920
have been loving all the discussions and
theories. It has been an amazing journey.

681
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:10.000
It has been inspiring to see the
community come together after so many years,

682
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:14.599
it has made all the hard work
well worth it. I think this

683
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:16.920
is mostly a pretty feel good story, Mike. I'm like, it is

684
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:22.840
cool that these people went to all
this effort. It is maybe slightly disappointing

685
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.840
that it has not led to something
more, but maybe the journey is kind

686
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:29.000
of worth it in this case.
I mean it was fun. I mean

687
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:30.559
there's always there's always a cycle to
these things, right where it's like we

688
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:35.119
see this weird thing in a game
that like no one found before. People

689
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:37.039
were like, people are probably bodying
it. Then other people are like,

690
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:42.840
actually, here's why it. Could
it possibly be a model? Always assets?

691
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:45.000
Yeah, that was the thing.
It was like like some of the

692
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:46.800
chats like no one thought Platinum was
behind it. I'm like, well,

693
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.519
soon as I saw this, I'm
like, this is just a mod.

694
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.840
This is just some some And then
you'd start hearing people say stuff like that

695
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:55.599
where it's like the way this is
done like no modern could possibly like it

696
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:00.440
would take so much effort, And
it turns out like you usually how it

697
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:02.639
works, Like whenever you watch a
magic show these days and you're like,

698
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:07.360
how this how is this possible?
The answer is almost always this person has

699
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:09.719
worked harder to make this trick than
you've ever worked at anything in your life.

700
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:13.199
And it turns out that was the
answer here as well, where it's

701
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.559
like, oh, this these people
just worked very very very hard on this

702
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:20.639
thing to make it seem believable,
and that then in itself it's like also

703
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:22.960
like kind of a magic trick where
it's like, oh, people are willing

704
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.719
to do this much, go to
this much effort for something like near Automata

705
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:30.000
in that community to create a new
mystery. That is kind of cool.

706
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.320
I think it's pretty fun in my
opinion. Yeah, And I do want

707
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:35.559
to when we are going to hear
about the next and the year we had

708
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:40.480
the remake of Replicants about a year
or two ago, and I which version's

709
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:45.159
coming of Automata such Georgian Atala does
coming. So I don't know if there's

710
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:47.880
like a near Automata too or just
some other kind of a near thing.

711
00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:52.559
I am wondering, like how sequelly
they want to do they want to do

712
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:57.559
another game with two B because to
be kind of became this breakout character,

713
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.599
right, or if ziolk Taro is
still just going to be for weird and

714
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.599
do some game that is like only
vaguely related to near automata in the way

715
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:07.519
I like the tracking guards, stuff
like maybe go in that direction? Yeah,

716
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:13.079
exactly, what a what a weird
franchise. I hope all the near

717
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:15.639
weirdos out there get exactly what you're
looking for in life. I'm pulling for

718
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:19.679
you. We got yelled at in
our podcast, Jeff when we said that

719
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.199
the combat in the near a tomtab
was only okay and it was everything else

720
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.480
that really held that game up.
I wasn't gonna bring it up because everyone's

721
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:28.760
gonna yell at us here too.
Mike, what have you done? Yes?

722
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:31.679
I know I thought it was just
those I think those just those weirdos

723
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:36.320
in our community dance straight A bad
comment, I don't get. Yeah,

724
00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:38.559
I would get damn why. I
thought it's just boring and maybe go to

725
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:44.360
tech Dan. Let's all worried about
that? Dad? Wow, Wow,

726
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:50.400
he's crazy. All right, Let's
let's get to the poll. I have

727
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:54.239
that right here ready to go.
Will Dragons Dogma two sell more than the

728
00:46:54.320 --> 00:47:00.280
seven million copies the original has sold? Sixty four point two percent said yes,

729
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:06.280
thirty five point eight percent said no. Uh, Mike, I think

730
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:07.920
I'm a little bit more split than
this, but it's like, Okay,

731
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:12.719
this game, the Dragonstalma once sold
seven million copies over a very long period

732
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:17.480
of time, multiple sort of rereleases
and updates and multiple sales and probably people

733
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:21.480
getting in the game for five dollars
a lot of the time. I think

734
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:23.760
over this same period of time,
it's yes, Dragonstalgma two will sell more,

735
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:27.719
but like what I was kind of
thing, like, no way it's

736
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:30.880
going to sell that much in its
first like year, right, Like it's

737
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:35.760
right, do better than say a
found Fantasy seven remake, even though it'll

738
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:38.320
it'll be on more platforms than that
was. Yeah, I think it's I

739
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:42.800
think it might be close in like
the first two years to that number,

740
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.519
but I don't know. It's kind
of like I think it's probably still gonna

741
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:50.320
have a pretty slow built up and
who knows, maybe we're wrong. Maybe

742
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.320
Like a conversation we had about this, I'm trying to remember who was on

743
00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:55.719
with you, it was Tam,
and I think Tam was worried about it

744
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:59.760
being that kind of snakes on a
plain situation that we talk about with things

745
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:04.440
right where everybody seems really excited and
like talking about it a lot. So

746
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:07.559
the studios like, oh, this
is going to make a lot of money.

747
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.079
It happened with that morbious re release
even right, right, but this

748
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:15.320
is not morbious or even Snakes on
a Plane. But I could see why,

749
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.079
like, yes, that the possibility
is definitely there where it's like the

750
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:22.719
conversation around it, the noise on
Twitter or in other social communities is not

751
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:27.960
quite the exact right signal and so, but but I think it's a little

752
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.719
bit closer to like the noise being
the signal than something like Snakes on a

753
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:35.880
plane. But still, seven million
copies is a lot. That's like about

754
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:39.079
how much Final Fantasy seven remake is
sold all together at this point. So

755
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:43.639
yeah, that's gonna be tough to
reach. I think that if it comes

756
00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:46.480
out and gets people talking, it's
not gonna quite be an elder Ring scenario.

757
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:50.840
Nothing will be an elder Ring scenario
obviously, but maybe it might have

758
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:52.840
a similar trajectory, just on a
smaller scale. I think where it's like,

759
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:55.239
oh, this is like they're coming
out for this franchise, which is

760
00:48:55.239 --> 00:49:00.800
possible. Yeah, I mean if
this game sold over three copies even it's

761
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:01.880
first year, Jeff, I think
that would be good enough. I think

762
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:06.719
they beat for sure, pretty happy
with that. By the way, the

763
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:09.719
people in the Giant on Chat Jeff
are much more reasonable than those dvs.

764
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:14.119
Of course they are, and of
course they all they mostly agree that,

765
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:16.960
Yeah, the combat in ner tamata
is fine, that's not what makes the

766
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:22.360
games special, which I knew was
not a controversial thing, Okay, shure.

767
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.440
It's it's so funny to see the
like our two different communities like the

768
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:29.840
game mess community and the Game's Morning's
community and Giant Bomb and everybody like it's

769
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:31.039
like, I want to join by
like the right. Everyone's like, oh

770
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:34.400
yeah, Grub is so nice,
and then you go to my discord like

771
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:40.920
Grub you fucking donkeys. Gordon Ramsey
met Yeah absolutely, I'm like, oh

772
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:44.039
man, you guys are like much
closer to me. Maybe you know me

773
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:47.519
better, but you know whatever.
All right. The poll I was gonna

774
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:51.000
do is call of duty on game
Pass, going to convince more players to

775
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:52.760
pick up an Xbox. I think
I'm gonna go with that, and uh,

776
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:57.880
we'll just well keep We'll keep running
chatting polls about the Game Boy versus

777
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:00.480
Game Boy Colored. Yeah, I
got enough people agree with me with chat

778
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:04.400
now that I actually don't want to
come down from this high with the actual

779
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:07.440
stats. Yes, exactly, you
don't want to see the number with me.

780
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:09.880
Yes, I'm feeling good right now, right, so you could just

781
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.920
believe like like oh now that was
definitely my favorite. I can feel it.

782
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:15.599
I can feel it. Like,
what do you need other than feelings?

783
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:20.639
Yeah, exactly exactly. Feelings get
me through, all right, Yes,

784
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:23.760
I'm feeling good. No, all
right everyone, Well I'm gonna shoot

785
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:27.920
that pull off right now. Yes, no, polls, the best kind

786
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:30.800
of polls. Yeah, it's easy, it's easy. All right, let's

787
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.920
I don't think we've put up.
We have the meeting like always in like

788
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.880
ten minutes for Giant Bomb. Uh
so I guess first, Mike, I'll

789
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.239
ask you what do you got going
on this week? Where can people find

790
00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:45.199
you? Well, you can find
me at GamesBeat dot com. I'm on

791
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:47.840
Twitter and twitch at tolkoto. Gonna
be making that run to get to the

792
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:54.519
top one hundred players ranking in Neon
White this week, so hopefully that will

793
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:59.960
happen. Jeff, is there is
there is there a power podcast happened?

794
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:05.320
Yeah? I have double Giant Bomb
duties today. Yes, we need you

795
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:07.800
on there. Absolutely so I don't
know if we do we do those live,

796
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:12.199
if we don't do them live,
whatever, It'll be available very soon

797
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:15.960
after because we want people to be
able to like listen while they're still just

798
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.039
coming off of everything that happened over
the weekend. But power BombCast is happening.

799
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:23.000
Absolutely everyone should tune in. I
got some questions about wrestling that I'm

800
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.280
just gonna ask because I was like, looking at the response to the last

801
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:29.400
one, it's like there's a pretty
big split where there's a lot of people

802
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:31.880
who this is the only wrestling podcast
they listened to, and many people this

803
00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:36.480
is the only wrestling content they really
consume at all. And so like I'm

804
00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:38.639
gonna I'm just gonna ask some basic
questions on top of everything like talk about

805
00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:42.400
everything else that happens. So I'm
looking forward to that. We're gonna make

806
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:45.519
that happen. Here to answered Jeff, I change the question. Oh shit,

807
00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:50.159
Okay, I think I got that
right. That was yeah, all

808
00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:52.280
right, Well I was making spaghetti, but my leg fell asleep. So

809
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:59.119
with that we are Saetti ma spaghetti. Thank you to Mike Vananti, Thank
