Live with me Jeff Grub Today,
fighting games are four feet lovers. But

5
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.079
first join me and welcoming today's co
host to Gamess Mornings. It's Rachel Kaiser.

6
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.039
How's it going Rachel? Everybody,
I am a very unsophisticated fighting game

7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.799
fan, and I don't know what
I'm doing here for this. Yeah,

8
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.159
I mean, listen, I don't
know what I'm talking about either, So

9
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:40.759
we're just gonna We're gonna go over
this. We'll get help from chat when

10
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.079
we need it, but mostly on
My understanding is feet. That's what people

11
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:50.039
are most excited about coming out of
EVO, and I can understand. Yeah

12
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.880
right, yeah, me neither.
How's it been going, Rachel. It's

13
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.079
been a few weeks since I had
you on any any life updates? How's

14
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.079
it going well? I think last
time I was on, I hadn't had

15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.280
my wedding ceremony yet and that has
happened, so that was fun. You

16
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.120
were invited Jeff, I don't know
if you showed up or not. I

17
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.079
did not. I completely forgot,
but I also I think it was you

18
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.560
did. Yes. I was there, Yes, yes, yes, yes,

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.959
it was lovely. Yes. And
the officiant, actually, since she

20
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.879
knew we were gamers, she inserted
a vow into our into the into the

21
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.120
ceremony, said, do do you
vow to let the other win at the

22
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.400
games? Sometimes? And my and
my husband and I just looked at each

23
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:40.319
other and went, that's incredible,
that's it. Just simultaneously just started going,

24
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.519
No, you don't want to you
don't want to let them win.

25
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.079
Yeah, yeah, because they,
like you want to tell you wanted to

26
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.480
be the real deal. Absolutely,
we can't enter our married our our matrimonial

27
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.359
existence lying to each other and right
be lying to each a foundation of lies,

28
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:57.480
exactly. You can't have that right
you want to have. It's a

29
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.760
foundation of respect, which means,
you know, being cheap when you actually

30
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.200
are playing fighting games and just throwing
out the same move over and over again.

31
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.120
Even it means you just win all
night in a really boring way.

32
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.000
That's what marriage is. That's how
you do it is. That is that

33
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.319
the basis of all communication it's the
basis of all communication and marriage. Absolutely,

34
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.280
Before we get into this mess,
let's explain ourselves. Each weekday,

43
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.240
Hello YouTube. Okay, we have
a lot to get into. Let's start

44
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.919
the morning Mess with Splatoon three is
getting a direct presentation on August tenth at

45
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.039
six am pacis Big time nine am
Eastern. I am not going to promise

46
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.360
to wake up for this one.
Rachel, where are you at with Splatoon

47
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.879
three? I'm I am like,
keep like oscillating between being very excited and

48
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.159
then also putting it off to the
side because I'm like, oh, that's

49
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.400
so far away. It's not that
far away anymore. It's coming up pretty

50
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.120
quick, right, Yeah, and
it's I mean, they'll Splatoon is one

51
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.800
of those games. It's just it's
just silly fun. I'm not one of

52
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.960
those people who's ever like, well, I mean, I don't take a

53
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.960
whole lot of games seriously, but
Splittoon is definitely one of those that I

54
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:35.400
definitely don't take seriously under any circumstances. But that's why I'm excited for it.

55
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.039
It's just although I was a little
baffled when the trailers first came out

56
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.080
and they were showing more of like
the post apocalyptic world than like, oh,

57
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.199
okay, Splittoon three Mad Max style, I don't know whether I'm here

58
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.599
for it or not, but I'm
just excited we're going to get more news

59
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.280
about it because it's been a while
since we heard about it, And yeah,

60
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.919
I was so focused on getting Bayonetta
news that I almost completely forgot that

61
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.039
it had been a while since we
heard about Splatoon. Right, It's a

62
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.840
good thing where we've been waiting for
a direct Although it's like you know,

63
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.840
from the beginning of the summer,
I was kind of hearing like they're gonna

64
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.319
do a bunch of smaller things instead
of like a major direct. So it's

65
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.560
like, well, once you get
the direct, we'll get updates on all

66
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.000
these things, and that's when I'll
start paying attention. Again, they haven't

67
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:16.800
done that, so it's like,
oh, oh yeah, no, a

68
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.800
month from now, Splatoon three is
coming out, and so and I I

69
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.360
really I love Splatoon. I've spent
a lot of time with the multiplayer in

70
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.319
both one and two. I think
the single player games are very, very

71
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.560
fun that they put in there,
and I'm just I am kind of curious

72
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.399
to see like where they will be
amping things up with Splatoon three and where

73
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.439
they will just continue being like,
this is what Splatoon is, so we're

74
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.759
going to keep those things. From
what we've seen so far, I get

75
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.600
the hunch that this is, for
the most part, like Splatoon is this,

76
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.040
and it's okay if it continues to
be that, and maybe we'll add

77
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.160
some stuff to the Perphrey, We'll
add different weapons and stuff like that,

78
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.839
but I don't expect things that change
too much. So when they do this

79
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.920
direct, how much are you expecting
to be like, Oh, this is

80
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.639
like brand new and a massive addition
to the game. And how much you're

81
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.720
like, Oh, they're just diving
into the details that maybe the only the

82
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.879
biggest Splatoon fans care about. I
think it's probably going to be about I

83
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.560
mean, optimistically, I say fifty
fifty, but realistically probably more like thirty

84
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.439
seventy. Yes, I think you're
You're probably right. I think there'll probably

85
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.279
be some surprises in terms of what
they're putting in this game. But I

86
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.360
remember when you were talking to that
that first trailer, the Mad Max,

87
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.639
the sort of thing. I'm like, are they gonna go like, are

88
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.720
gonna make a Fallout game a single
player game and Splatoon or whatever, and

89
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.480
it's gonna like this big RPG or
something, this big open world game.

90
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:42.920
Maybe I'm not expecting anything like that
anymore. I am expecting a puzzle platformer

91
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.199
like they've had in the first couple
of games that takes a couple hours to

92
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.720
beat. Maybe some variety in the
environments, maybe a little bit a little

93
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.319
bit more than they maybe even had
in the past. But beyond that,

94
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.240
that's I don't expect much. I
mean, if all Nintendo does, or

95
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.439
if all the developers do is just
I mean rein great the aesthetic that seems

96
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.240
to be all they really need to
do, so it feels like anything else

97
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.120
they put on top of that that's
just gravy. Yeah, I mean,

98
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:11.600
and it's like, this is not
a franchise that is struggling to find its

99
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.319
footing right in terms of success,
in terms of appeal, it is a

100
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.439
very popular game around the world.
It is especially popular in Japan. It's

101
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.720
a franchise that is probably already sold
around twenty million copies or something like that

102
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.879
when you can find them all pretty
close. The second game is like at

103
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.720
they want to say, thirteen fourteen
million copies sold. It's a massive,

104
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:40.160
huge success, unlike what most publishers
could even dream of, especially for launching

105
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:45.160
a console like a console exclusive shooter
game, like most most copies would even

106
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.199
try to do something like that,
because it is like what Sony was saying

107
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.519
with Call of Duty, you can't
make one of those if there's no one

108
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.199
could compete with that. Well,
you know, this is an exactly Call

109
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.759
of Duty. But Nintendo put out
a shooter that is a massive success.

110
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.879
So I don't that when they have
their formula, I don't expect them to

111
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.879
shake things up too much, especially
because we've that's not necessarily how Nintendo works

112
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.240
these days, like they they were
going to do that, it would be

113
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.879
a much wider gap between games,
Like I think what we're seeing with uh

114
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.399
Mario Odyssey, like we haven't gotten
Mario Odyssey too, because I think they

115
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.240
probably want to do a wider gap
and do something very different from one game

116
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.560
to the next. With this,
They're like, well, the online multiplayer

117
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.600
people want it to be that online
multiplayers, so let's upgrade it, improve

118
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.199
it in ways we can. I
will say it. The one thing I

119
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:34.399
am maybe most hopeful for when it
comes to a Nintendo Switch online shooter game

120
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:40.399
like Splatoon three is a promise to
make sure that the online experience is upgraded

121
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.839
in some key ways, mostly just
to make sure that connection is as solid

122
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.959
as possible. Nintendo has done some
work in the background, apparently to improve

123
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.920
their online infrastructure. I would I
would hope that many many of those things

124
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.439
were done with this game in mind, right where this game is going to

125
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.319
be a big online multiplayer game for
them, why not just make sure that

126
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.480
this has the best possible net code. That said, I'm not expecting them

127
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.759
to be like and here's discord on
Switch or here's even a really good built

128
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.639
in voice chat, like you're gonna
have to keep using the phone like it

129
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.160
was dedicated to Yeah, unfortunately,
but yeah, it's amazing to me what

130
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.879
things that we will eventually we'll basically
just let slide because Nintendo that I don't

131
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.959
think we would ever put up with
from Sony or Microsoft. Like if Sony

132
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.199
or Microsoft to turn around and said, hey, you have to use the

133
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.480
PlayStation app or the Xbox app to
party chat with people on on you know,

134
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.159
while playing Apex or something like that, we would all bust a gasket,

135
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.159
I think. But Nintendo, we're
just sort of like, hey,

136
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.320
Nintendo, get Nintendo, what can
you do? Yeah, it's and it's

137
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.960
it's sort of like a oh this
it's the it's the Gordon Ramsey thing.

138
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.000
We talked about this on a recent
episode, where it's like, oh,

139
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.679
oh my pressure, it's all beautiful, and then it's oh, you fucking

140
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.120
donkey when like one of the competent
companies don't mess up. But I think

141
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.799
it was Platoon specifically that had that
insane peripheral where it's like you could plug

142
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.240
this three point five millimeter headphone jack
into the bottom of your switch and then

143
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.080
and then there's like this a little. I think it was like a little

144
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.919
Splatoon looking guy even and it had
another three point five million marry Jack for

145
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.720
you to connect your phone, and
so then it was I think it was.

146
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.440
And then yes, right, I
think this how it worked. Chat

147
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.000
could remind me. Maybe maybe I
can look it up here in a second.

148
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.200
So you could have the communication audio
coming through and the game audio coming

149
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.120
through the same headset. And it
was like this, like just as massive

150
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.799
little mess of cables that you would
have to use to communicate with people online,

151
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.919
so you could have the phone and
the game and stuff. It was.

152
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.759
It was messed up. I remember. I feel like I've seen pictures

153
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.759
of this, but I don't.
I didn't. I didn't know that's what

154
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.120
it was for. That's what it
was. I think that's what it was

155
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.919
for. I'm like vaguely remembering this
thing, all right. There was a

156
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.879
whole bunch of EVO news. Rachel, like we said, we're not the

157
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.080
biggest fighting games and fans, but
we'll do our best here, everybody.

158
00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:01.159
We'll try. Uh, Street Fighters
six is getting kimberly and you're jury Uri.

159
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.559
I'm gonna say, Yury, Uh, let's just let's play this Kimberly

160
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.600
is a very cool look a fighter. She fights with spray paint. I'm

161
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:15.080
into it. This was announced at
EBO. Uh, Like there wasn't like

162
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.240
a ton of like new games announced
like Ebo is for like the people would

163
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.919
really care about new characters and stuff
like that. Street Butter six still a

164
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.279
little bit aways off coming next year. I believe, yes, in twenty

165
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.399
twenty three. Uh. They say
Kimberly is a spunky new ninja and I

166
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.000
don't know if she looks great here, just based on like seeing her,

167
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.440
I think she's got a lot of
style. I'm into it. Rachel,

168
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.639
what do you think? Yeah,
I'm liking how she fits into the because

169
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.000
we've definitely got a new aesthetic for
Straight Fighter six. We're kind of leaning

170
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.720
into the the street part of it, and you know, there's there's a

171
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.480
lot of like dingy environments with like
bright splashes of color, and that's basically

172
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.559
because she's he's got a lot of
she's got a lot of vivacity, which

173
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.759
I like. She's even when she's
doing her idol animations, they say he's

174
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.399
kind of he's constantly in motion.
He's constantly bouncing around, and she looked

175
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.960
like she's having fun. And that's
that's all I can really ask of a

176
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.639
street fighter character at this point,
because to you, at this point,

177
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.480
this looks so depressed constantly. You
got that tired dad energy, Yes,

178
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.519
definitely, And I'm like, this
does feel like it is on the opposite

179
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.200
end of the spectrum there where there's
just a ton of color exploding off for

180
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.000
all the time. And she's like
bouncy, a lot of energy, like

181
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.240
you said. And then here is
Jury. I believe Jury, Yes,

182
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.000
Gary and chesss tired dad and divorced
dad. He's got that energy going.

183
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.720
And there's there's Jury introducing herself by
just sticking her foot right in the camera

184
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.039
for all you all you freaks out
there. There you go. Jury is

185
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.679
a returning character. I think there's
a lot a lot of fans out there,

186
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.519
so I'm like wondering how they balance
choosing who to put on the roster.

187
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.039
It's probably got to be a balance
up. Okay, obviously some new

188
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.159
characters, obviously we you and some
classics and stuff like that, but they

189
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.919
can and I guess with the classics
they can always do that as DLC.

190
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.919
So maybe now is the time to
like, oh yeah, here's Kimberly and

191
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.960
here's a fighter coming back from like
one of the games. It's not street

192
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.679
Fighter two, right, there's the
street Fighter two roster that is uh,

193
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.759
you know, the gods of this
pantheon. And then everything else is like,

194
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.639
Okay. The fans of the like
longtime fans of the series who have

195
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.360
played every single street Fighter will care
about these, but it's not necessarily going

196
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.080
to be the biggest thing except for
now. We are introducing this at EVO

197
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.919
so we can bring back Jerry and
people will be very excited. Yeah,

198
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.200
this is something the EVO audience I
could definitely see, you know you you

199
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.159
just put this out at I don't
know, like a trade show or something,

200
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.120
and people like, yeah, okay, cool, you put this out

201
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.000
at EVO and I was like,
yes, Jerry is back. Yeah.

202
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.960
And the chat says, how do
they decide? They decide by who,

203
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.279
like, like they said, horny. Horny is the answer. That's how

204
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.120
they decide. That's fair and Mike
hoping now that she was first a super

205
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.720
street Fighter for so that's what it
was, okay, And I do remember

206
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.759
that her costume is because I remember
her costume when she first showed up being

207
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.639
because I remember white pants, Like
she had very big, voluminous mc hammer

208
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.399
pants, and then they got rid
of that when she was in Straight Fighter

209
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.159
five and put her in that ridiculous
Uh, like what was it like a

210
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.200
wet suit? I think that's all
I remember about Jury the last for the

211
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.600
last time she's appeared. So if
they're going back to the big pants,

212
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.399
I mean cool, right, exactly. Yes, I make no comment about

213
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.200
her feet because I mean she's that's
just how she fights, and I'm like,

214
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.879
that's if that's what what Jury wants
to do. I'm not going to

215
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.120
argue with her. That's right.
Absolutely. There's another character was announced,

216
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.320
this one for guilty gear Bridget.
Let's bring let's bring her up. Uh,

217
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.679
she looks good. Chad is very
happy about Bridget apparently, so I'm

218
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.720
happy for you. She did she
apparently when you hit the buttons, she

219
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.120
does attacks. I think that's pretty
a pretty good thing for a fighting game

220
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.120
in my opinion. Yeah, that
sounds that sounds pretty useful. Yes,

221
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.759
could this I might be a main, I might be a Maine. I'm

222
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.759
just saying, yeah, this is
this is this is fantastic stuff. I'm

223
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.320
super intomously. I haven't actually seen
the trailer yet so I'm just watching.

224
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.000
Yeah, there we go. Okay, let's let's keep going with this news

225
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.080
here while the Well the Bridget trailer
plays in the background. Here, a

226
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.639
new Fatal Fury was greenlit, I
think, and you know Mark of the

227
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.200
Wolves, I think, as well
as the same franchise. There hasn't been

228
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.679
a new Fatal Fury in a very
long time. I think. Uh,

229
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.320
here, let's actually click over this
trailer now replay this. It's kind of

230
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.080
just a teaser. They're talking,
Hey, we've greenlit it, we're making

231
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.320
this. There's not much the show, but that's I don't know, I'm

232
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.519
pretty excited about this. I uh, this is from the era of when

233
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.559
I was playing these games. Fatal
Fury was never quite my thing, but

234
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.720
I'm I'm like, okay, I
still was like always paying attention to it,

235
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.879
and I always kind of saw it, and I would like to get

236
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.840
another chance to like, oh,
fall in love with this franchise. So

237
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.360
another good move. This one's from
S and K. Obviously, any history

238
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.600
with Fatal Fury or S and K
fighting games Fatal Fury, No, And

239
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.159
I'm a little bit I find it. Are you amusing that they've managed to

240
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.879
garner this much hype already, considering
the trailer is literally just a piece of

241
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.679
concept art, yes, exactly,
just saying, hey, new game green

242
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.600
lit. Here's here's a general idea
of what it's going to look like.

243
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.279
Kind of okay, cool, But
I know I've never played a Fatal Fury

244
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.399
game before. I was a little
before my fighting game time. Yeah,

245
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.000
but I'm excited to try it again. I hear so many people telling me

246
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.600
they like Fatal Fury and I've never
It's never been something that's ever been on

247
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.519
my person my radar personally. So
if they put a new one out,

248
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.000
that's just my excuse to hey,
I can get into it now. Yeah,

249
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.159
and I kind of wonder where S
and K sits in the modern roster

250
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.960
fighting game developers, because Capcom obviously
putting a ton of money into Street Fighter

251
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.759
six. It looks very good,
I think, But then you know,

252
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.480
if you are someone who is into
anime fighters or you really want that really

253
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.600
striking two D aesthetic, a two
D looking aesthetic. At least you have

254
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.519
Arc system Works doing stuff like Guilty
Gear, and they're you know, they

255
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.039
put out a game a year almost
they have a ton of options for you,

256
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.360
and those look really really striking.
Like I said, I wonder if

257
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.720
like S and K maybe feels a
little bit uh and not I want to

258
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.159
say outdated, but it just looks
like Mike Manadi and Chat said, it

259
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.480
looks flat to him, and I
wonder if maybe that can hurt them trying

260
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.639
to bring something back that doesn't stand
down. It isn't as flashy as a

261
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.600
big budget street fighter or or you
know, relatively a big budget our System

262
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.679
Works games. So hopefully they come
out and it's like just it looks great

263
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.200
and stands out and it's like,
oh, here's a modern take on an

264
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.279
S and K game. Uh something
Okay, nextually here let me know before

265
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:38.559
I skip this. Uh yeah,
something's happening with techn We don't know what.

266
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:44.759
Maybe we will hear more at the
Game awards. Basically all they showed

267
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.759
and this is from Bandai Napko is
a picture of what's the I can't I

268
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.200
always mix up with all the characters
names. I let's see if I can

269
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.200
get a picture of him here.
Let me bring here tech in eight Kazu

270
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.600
Yeah, thank you, yes,
Kazu yah. They base one of it's

271
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.200
one of them, shimas I never
remember there. Yeah, here's what I

272
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:07.000
think is happening. I think they've
been watching Giant Bomb ranking of Tech and

273
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.640
endings and they're like, listen,
we gotta do so, we gotta capture

274
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.079
this wave. We've got to capture
the excitement for this. There is Kazia

275
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.039
throwing his dad off a cliff and
then looking at the camera and smiling,

276
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.920
and then it transitions into this and
what does this mean? It says,

277
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.920
get ready? So okay, okay, Kazia is he went from the original

278
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:33.319
version, the early model, and
to a modern model. Raychel, I'm

279
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.960
gonna ask you, as someone who's
just looking at this and you use your

280
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.599
context clues here, do you think
this is a remake of an early game

281
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.200
or do you think this is them
like promising some continuation of the story.

282
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.559
Oh, it's hard to say.
It feels like Tech and six was not

283
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.079
that long ago. At seven feels
like that wasn't that long ago. So

284
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.640
I don't know if we're I don't
know if we're right yet for a continuation

285
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.240
of the story. I mean,
I think Tech and eight was in the

286
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.359
Invidia League, right, So yeah, that's true. So maybe maybe it

287
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.400
is coming sooner than we expect that's
where I was at, and then I

288
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.480
remember like seeing I'm like, oh, yeah, that was in the Invidio

289
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:17.160
League. Maybe maybe this is just
them saying we're gonna like, yeah,

290
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.359
continue that story finished, some story. We're gonna throw the throw more people

291
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.599
off cliffs, we promise. Get
ready. Well, I mean that's the

292
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:29.480
problem. They could throwing people off
cliffs. It's such a tech and staple

293
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:33.039
at this point. It's like,
I literally have no idea if it's like,

294
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:36.920
yes, we're going to be visiting
Oh my god, I'm old.

295
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.279
Sorry, that's messed up. That
does not feel seven years old. I

296
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.480
agree, I don't know for some
reason, man, life, where is

297
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.640
my life gone? I know,
for it's all slipping away from me seven

298
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.160
years old? That is messed up. But yeah, this is probably Tech

299
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.799
and eighth. Then, because it
has been so long, we're the Invidio

300
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:57.279
week, I'll say, and I
think this is just a cool way of

301
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.720
doing this teaser. The teaser it
does seem like it maybe suggesting some sort

302
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.799
of remake, but I don't think
so. I think this is probably going

303
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.599
to be Tech and eight. Techn
I did play some Tech at seven when

304
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.400
it came out, and I remember
really really enjoying it. So maybe tech

305
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.880
and eight will be my chance to
get back into it. Aren't they also

306
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:18.200
doing like a tech In show on
Netflix? Isn't that like this be like

307
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.920
maybe a tie in? Maybe tie
in with that in some way? That

308
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.799
very likely could Maybe they loved companies
love doing that right now, having their

309
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.039
shows come out and doing a tie
in. That could be the I don't

310
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.200
know if that's the case though,
but I'm not sure. Let's see.

311
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:36.039
Arcade one Up is making a Marvel
Versus Capcom to Arcade cabinet. I picked

312
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:40.319
some details here from Mike Manati at
games Beat Arcade one up earlier. Yeah

313
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:44.160
somethings like a schmuck to me.
Arcade one Up announced today that is releasing

314
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.960
a Marvel versus Capcom two cabinet this
fall. Pre Orders will start on September

315
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.160
eight, and product shipping. The
product will begin shipping a few weeks later.

316
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.680
The machine also includes other games from
Capcom's Marvel series, including Marvel Versus

317
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:02.079
Capcom, Marvel's Superheroes Versus Street Fighter, X Versus street Fighter, Marvel Superheroes

318
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.400
X Men, Children of the Adam
X Men, Mutant Apocalypse, and Marvel

319
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.960
superheroes in War of the Gems.
Sometimes I forget how many Marvel fighting games

320
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:17.359
Capcom is made, But the middle
of one's a lot of like going back

321
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.119
to playing Wolverine and Magneto in these
Yeah, absolutely like going back to like

322
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.640
the very very early nineties, even
like and I'm like, oh yeah,

323
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.599
like there was like some stuff they
even put on our own Genesis. I

324
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.880
think that children the Adam game I
played on Genesis. Either way, this

325
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.519
is very cool. I'm kind of
surprised that this is happening. It felt

326
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.000
like Marvel Versus Capcom two would have
been too big, too complicated, too

327
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:44.839
many vested interests with Disney and UH
and Capcom and trying to get everyonebody to

328
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.200
work together. But I mean,
this also feels like it could very well

329
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.279
be the best selling fighting game machine
that they put out, even because like

330
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.400
I don't know something about It's like
street Fighters they have, they have a

331
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:57.920
couple of street Fighter two cabinets that
Arcade one up is done, and they're

332
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:02.000
cool and they're great. Refoter two
is huge, but also like there are

333
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.400
millions of ways to play street Fighter
two. I feel like Marvel Versus Capcom

334
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.960
two fans might feel even more precious, precious about their game. And this

335
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.240
cabinet is gorgeous looking. I have
it up here on the video and if

336
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.640
you get a chance, if you're
listening to the audio version, get a

337
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.839
chance to look it up, you
should. I'll try to put a link

338
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.359
into the description for you. It's
I don't know, I think I kind

339
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.000
of just want it because of how
beautiful it is. I mean that all

340
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.559
the art from that time that Capcom
was doing for other other franchises that they

341
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.960
would like work with, like that
was true for like their Disney games that

342
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.400
they were making that always had really
good art. But the Marvel art that

343
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:42.039
they do Spider Man looks fantastic.
The Incredible Hawk looks fantastic, and both

344
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.720
are on the side here, and
I'm just kind of blown away about how

345
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.920
how cool it looks. And that's
a good roster of fighting games too.

346
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.480
They won two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

347
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.200
So you're gonna you're kind of getting
your money's worth. Although I don't

348
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.400
think they've said how much this thing
is going to cost. It's uh,

349
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.240
it's going to probably be a bit
more expensive because it is Marvel versus Capcom

350
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.720
too. What's the what's the most
you would pay for one of these arcade

351
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.400
one up things? Oh, I
don't know. I don't know how much

352
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.200
this. I mean we're talking about
like I live in a tiny apartment,

353
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:12.559
so it's a matter of like,
well, what do I even have space

354
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.319
for something like this? Yeah,
I don't know. I could. I

355
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:19.359
could shell out like maybe a couple
hundred, But then I'm also like,

356
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:25.079
uh, I could always I could
also just like get these games elsewhere,

357
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.200
but like you know, if it's
a matter of like I would drop thousands

358
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.319
if I had the money, like
if I had the money in space,

359
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.119
if money were no object, Like
yeah, please, I would love a

360
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:34.839
cabinet like this. I remember playing
some of these games, like I think

361
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.960
it was, oh, probably like
original Marvel versus Capcom. I swear,

362
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.160
I swear I played some of these
in an actual arcade. Or maybe it

363
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.440
was just my friend's house and it
was really cool, so I remember it

364
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.759
as an arcade, so that's also
possible. But I just remember these games

365
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.400
I actually remember playing when I was
younger. So I'm actually really excited about

366
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.720
this. Real quick update from the
Locust board in chant Tech in Bloodline comes

367
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.279
out on August eighteenth. It's a
Netflix anime, so good call out Rachel,

368
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.559
that was a yeah, it's probably
always good to have something kind of

369
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.039
lined up. Doesn't have to come
out the exact same time. Obviously,

370
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:10.599
Tech and eight not coming out this
year, we would have heard that already.

371
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.039
And then uh, yes, everyone
chat saying it's probably gonna be around

372
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.880
six hundred dollars. That has been
the like the going rate for cabs like

373
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.720
this. I just there was that
killer instinct Pro cabinet that was like a

374
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.519
thousand dollars, and that makes me
wonder if they're and the riser costs extra

375
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:27.799
of course, yes, and they
usually put out a stool as well,

376
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.279
if themed stool that you can get
as well, So probably if you get

377
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:33.400
like all that, it would probably
be like seven hundred dollars, right,

378
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.240
That's how they would normally do it. Look, I'm still saving up for

379
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.039
a steam deck. I don't have
that. I gotta I gotta use my

380
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.880
scratch wisely. Yes, I hear. I've been actually looking at a couple

381
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.720
more arcade one up cabinets. I
have the Rampage one that I love it

382
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:51.079
again because mostly because the art on
it is very cool and uh and you

383
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.920
know, this one has like that
light up banner at the top, and

384
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.640
I also really like that. I
haven't seen that on many of these cabinets,

385
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.400
so I'm like, man, they're
kind of going all out. I

386
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.720
start getting into these again, and
I started looking at some some of the

387
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.759
options. They were going up in
price, but a lot of them are

388
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:08.079
on sale for like three hundred four
hundred right now, and I'm like,

389
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.799
man, that's just like right on
the border of what I would be wanting

390
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.680
to pay. And I'm like,
then it's hard to choose which one do

391
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.559
I get. They have the stand
up Ridge Racer one that I'm I like,

392
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:19.880
but I kind of wish it was
because they also have a sit down

393
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.559
Daytona one, which isn't for sale
anymore. I at least I haven't been

394
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.039
able to find it. I'm like
that Ridge Racer one was a sit down

395
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.160
one. I would have got it
at four hundred dollars, no questions asked,

396
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.799
But I'm like, the stand up
one's kind of awkward. I don't

397
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:37.160
know, We'll see I don't know. Uh okay. Nickelodeon All Stars Brawls

398
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.960
as a new fighter, Hugh Neutron, Ray Trump cauty on you to be

399
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.519
my Jimmy Neutron correspondent. Is there
any chance that was one of your shows?

400
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.400
Like it was briefly one of my
shows when I was younger, And

401
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.759
I'm like, wait, I admit. When I first heard this, I

402
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:53.640
was like, wait, tell me
Jimmy's in this before? Like, did

403
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.519
we really put Jimmy's dad in before
Jimmy? See, we think Jimmy Newt

404
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.599
Trump was probably on the main roster. Well, I mean, I'll be

405
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:04.440
honest, I never touched this game. You are not alone. I don't

406
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.119
think this. I mean it feels
like this game came and went and now

407
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.799
everyone's playing multiverses instead. Yeah,
and yeah, I don't don't. Maybe

408
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.160
maybe if this, maybe if he
was in multi Versus, I would be

409
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.519
more excited about it. Oh,
I can see how he does against Batman

410
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.000
and Shaggy. But now I'm just
like, Okay, I don't want to

411
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.960
be mean. No, I don't
want to. I mean this, if

412
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.519
people are compared to multi Versus,
this game looks really bad. I'm sorry,

413
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:34.319
this game looks rough. Uh.
Maybe it's like they're doing something.

414
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:38.319
I have this trail that we're watching
and I haven't muted. Maybe they're doing

415
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:44.039
something, but it just looks like, I don't know. The characters don't

416
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.599
like gel together. The backgrounds look
cheap. This back I mean, I

417
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.759
mean I get this Jimmy New Trial. There's weird stuff happen. I haven't

418
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.279
watched a lot of the show.
There's like just giant inflatable assets in the

419
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:56.440
background, is what it feels like. It just feels like, oh,

420
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:02.319
those are assets from the assets to
are blown up, and I don't know,

421
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.000
it just has no character. I
think this game looks real bad.

422
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.559
No, yeah, it's you know, we're we're going down the list and

423
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.759
I've been I was watching these trailers
beforehand and it's like, oh, cool

424
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.400
new Street Fighter character. Oh Teken
teaser, Uh, Fatal Fury, you

425
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.920
know, Guilty Gear. And we're
going on lists of fighting games and it's

426
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.559
like Nickelodeon All Star Brawl and I'm
like, just like, my level of

427
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.079
energy is just like, oh,
time to go off and get a coffee

428
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.319
exactly. Other news out of Ebo, Dragonball Fighters Z is getting rollback net

429
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.279
code. UH. This is the
GGPO protocol that everyone wants in their fighting

430
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:41.880
games. It is the accepted online
standard. UH. One of the reasons.

431
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.920
Everyone's so I was so excited about
that project l fighting game out of

432
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.039
Riot. It's it's comes from the
people who made GGPO rollback neeck code.

433
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.079
This feature, though, is only
being added to the PC, Xbox Series

434
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:57.559
X in PlayStation five versions of the
game, so the last in versions are

435
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:02.960
it feels like getting left behind at
this point, which you know, I'm

436
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:04.799
sort of I think I'm okay with
because we'd spend a couple of years where

437
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.519
we are fully into the next generation
and it feels like, okay, well,

438
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.400
at least they're going to keep supporting
this game going forward, even if

439
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.039
it means like people playing on those
old systems, we'll have to upgrade if

440
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.720
they want to keep up with the
latest version of the game. I can't.

441
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.920
I can't hate. Yeah, and
yeah, that's just true. And

442
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.759
it's like I think they also said, like, if you have those old

443
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.720
versions, there's like an upgrade path
to get you to these new versions if

444
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:33.160
you upgrade, your upgrade your systems. So unfortunately, there's no mention of

445
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.039
rollbackneck code support for Switch at the
moment, and I feel like that's probably

446
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.480
not going to happen either. I
bet that game doesn't have a ton of

447
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:44.559
people playing on Switch. I feel
like if you're a serious Dragon Ball Fighter

448
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.240
Z character, you're probably not on
Switch. I agree. Guilty Gear Strive

449
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.519
has surpassed one million unit shipped.
This makes it the first title sold by

450
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.160
Arc system Works and the first Guilty
Gear series to reach that huge milestone.

451
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.200
I think this is kind of put
this here, like, Okay, obviously

452
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.319
this is just it's news out of
Ebo and all this stuff like that,

453
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.000
But it feels like fighting games are
just getting bigger and bigger and bigger,

454
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.480
right as as as huge as Smash
is. I was not expecting even a

455
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.519
free to play sort of take on
that like multiverses, to blow up in

456
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.039
the way it has. I just
think that something has happened where there are

457
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.960
a ton of people showing up for
fighting games of all stripes now, and

458
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:30.319
I think that's reflected here in Guilty
Year Strive being the first time an ARC

459
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.759
system Works game it's surpassed one million
copies shipped. That's that's impressive, right,

460
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.559
So, especially considering like you said, I mean, it's not even

461
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.880
just a matter of like the games
themselves, like individual games getting bigger.

462
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.400
We've also got more options. I
feel like, even it was just a

463
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.039
few years ago, like Mortal Kombat
or a Street Fighter in any given year

464
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.440
was your only option if you wanted
to play a new fighting game. And

465
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.000
now we've got we've got a lot
of games coming out. It feels like,

466
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.000
even even if it's just games that
yeah, don't turn out and that

467
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.200
don't end up turning out very well, since we just and Nickelodeon All Stars

468
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.920
Ball, Like, even though that
that game didn't turn out to be a

469
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.160
huge success, it was still,
uh, you know, a company saying,

470
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:10.640
hey, we want to do something
with our IP and you know,

471
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.160
put a video game out there capitalizing
on it. What do we do?

472
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:17.720
Fighting game? And in fact that
that's the go to now right And it's

473
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:22.680
not like a lot of other genres
where big publishers have stepped back and like,

474
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.599
I don't know if we can make
money doing this anymore, so we're

475
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.559
not going to do it. I
mean, obviously that's happened to some extent,

476
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.440
but the biggest publishers, Capcom,
has never stopped making fighting games.

477
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.000
They make fewer fighting games, but
they haven't stopped. And yet at the

478
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.359
same time, what has happened in
other genres where smaller studios step in and

479
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:38.759
like, well, we can make
a good one of these. Uh.

480
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:41.599
They a lot of the studios have
done that, and it turns out like

481
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.680
some of them have just gotten bigger
and bigger and bigger over time, and

482
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.000
including Arc system Works, and now
they are like basically one of the main

483
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.960
champions of the genre. So uh, it's it's basically video games working how

484
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.400
they always have. Where when you
know an idea doesn't work so well for

485
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:02.200
a big studio anymore, these smaller
teams can step in and make it makes

486
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.039
sense for them, and it may. So far it seems like it has

487
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.799
made a lot of sense for Guilty
Gear and Arc System Works. Uh,

488
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:14.519
let's see here. Finally, Multi
Versus Season one has been teased and includes

489
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:19.000
Arcade mode ranked matches, a Robin
costume for Lebron James, So like Robin

490
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:22.920
from Batman and Robin, Uh,
Chris Chris o'dwn, He's basically it's Chris

491
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:27.640
o'donald cosplay, and a Valkyrie costume
for bugs, money and there, and

492
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:33.720
that's all coming to Multiverses in season
one. Uh. Is this the kind

493
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:36.799
of stuff that gets I mean,
I honestly, it's like, Okay,

494
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.480
if this one with these were one
of your characters, you would be be

495
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.759
like, okay, anything new for
them, I'm gonna be at least like

496
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.279
peaking at Maybe it's not the kind
of thing I'm gonna be spending money on.

497
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.200
Uh but like you know, ranked
matches, A lot of people are

498
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.880
taking both the verses pretty seriously,
especially after EVO. I think, uh

499
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.279
so, I like that it's gonna
be good. But yeah, I mean

500
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.200
like they probably are gonna have some
season one come out, and I bet

501
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.960
by like season three it's gonna be
completely different, because I don't think they

502
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.519
would have expected this game to blow
up and the way it has, and

503
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.279
it's like by season three, like
it's going to be it's gonna season one

504
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.720
like look and pitiful in comparison.
I think they're gonna have so much stuff,

505
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.079
so many options, so many things
for you to buy, so many

506
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:17.920
things for you to unlock. But
this is like probably a decent start.

507
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.359
This is where they need to be. I don't know if they said a

508
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.920
new date for this, because I
remember this being delayed. They said stay

509
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:29.000
tuned for an official date coming soon, thank you very much. So yeah,

510
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.319
we're still waiting on that date after
it got delayed. So fair enough,

511
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.279
all right? That does it for
our evil round up. If we

512
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.400
get some time, we'll do a
grubs next Question there and they'll catch up

513
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:41.599
where if anyone has any questions about
that stuff or wants to bring anything up,

514
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.759
we'll talk about it then. So
use that ask a question button there

515
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.920
and we'll see what we can do. Okay, Rachel, Let's move on

516
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.559
to Beyond Good and Evil to getting
a new lead writer. This comes from

517
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.319
Rebecca Smith at PlayStation Lifestyle. Beyond
Good and Evil Too is one of those

518
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.160
games seemingly stuck in development hell,
but at least we know it seems it

519
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.160
seems still to be alive and now
has a new lead writer. Blizzard's former

520
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:12.599
narrative designer, Sarah Arlano Orlano orlano
as joined Ubisoft mont Pierre mont Pierre Montpellier.

521
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.319
Man, That's that's a rough one
for me. Uh youbi stuft Montpelli

522
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:21.119
in the aforementioned role, but it
does suggest the games development is nowhere near

523
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.640
finished. Is that how you read
this news? Rachel? I mean?

524
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.599
Is that even news at this point? Beyond Good and even Beyond Good and

525
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:32.880
Evil two stuck yeah, yeah,
I like right there with you. It's

526
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:37.200
like, but it's like, we
know this game isn't testing based on some

527
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:43.720
stuff. I've heard some stuff like
but other leakers have heard. It's like,

528
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:45.400
but I'm wondering, Okay, that
much must be a gameplay test.

529
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.640
They are seeing if the game is
fun. And yet that doesn't mean it's

530
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.400
like, oh oh, they're playing
a near finished version of it. They

531
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.279
are probably playing a near complete prototype
of it, and now they need to

532
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:01.319
turn that into a product. And
then she's kind inn here, Sarah Arlano,

533
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:07.200
to help help complete that and do
what is maybe most important for it

534
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.559
beyond Good and Evil two, and
make it feel like it captures the spirit

535
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:14.559
of the original story and characters.
Right yeah, I mean if if,

536
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:16.240
if she can do that, I
mean, more power to her, because

537
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:19.559
I don't really know a whole lot. I mean, you'd probably know more

538
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.720
than I do about what's going on
behind the scenes over there. But I've

539
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.000
heard it's a mess, and it
looks like a mess from the outside,

540
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.200
and it's at this point, like, you know, it doesn't It wouldn't

541
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.119
surprise me if the game is still
sort of in a you know, pre

542
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:37.200
production early production phase. And they're
only just now starting to really put some

543
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.599
juice behind it. So you know, but if she can pull something good

544
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:44.359
out of it, you know,
I will I will applaud her into the

545
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:47.799
next decade, honestly, right,
And this also feels like what we've been

546
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.359
saying all along is that that original
pitch, the thing that they originally showed

547
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.000
us, probably has not much to
do with what we're going to end up

548
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:59.799
getting. You know, people take
jobs late into development all the time,

549
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.400
but lead writers specifically feels like one
where it's like, Okay, this is

550
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:07.239
probably she's probably still going to have
to shape a lot of what this game

551
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:12.760
looks and feels like and acts like. So yeah, all right. Next

552
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.519
story, Microsoft and Unity partner to
make Azure the default cloud provider for Unity,

553
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:20.880
and they also want to make it
easier for you to publish act of

554
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.840
those Unity games on Xbox platforms.
This comes from Sarah Bond in a blog

555
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:30.280
post today. Unity has selected Azure
as its cloud partner for building and operating

556
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:35.920
real time three D experiences from the
Unity Engine. In addition, we're excited

557
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:38.760
to work together to make it easier
for game creators around the world to publish

558
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:43.960
the Xbox consoles and PC so they
can reach their communities. I read this

559
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.360
whole blog post trying to find out
exactly what that part means. We're excited

560
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:50.000
to make it easier for game creators. This is kind of all they said

561
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:53.199
about the partnership between Microsoft and Unity. Will also enable made with Unity game

562
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:59.599
creators to more easily reach their players
across Windows and Xbox devices and unlock new

563
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:06.280
success opportunities by engineering improved developer tools, leveraging the latest platform innovation from silicon

564
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:09.840
to cloud, and simplifying the publishing
experience, Unity creators will be able to

565
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.920
realize their dreams by bringing their games
to more gamers around the world. So

566
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:19.400
not eyes crossed. While you're saying
some of those parts, well, I

567
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.119
think that's the exactly Like, it's
just not a lot of specifics. It

568
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:27.119
is very broad things that could mean
anything. But I mean the point here

569
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:30.920
is these two, these two entities
have partnered. This is another customer for

570
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:35.400
Azure. It is another move where
yeah, sure, there are all these

571
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:40.079
fights happening inside of gaming where people
are battling over market share of sort of

572
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:45.199
established verticals within gaming. People are
like, oh, Xbox versus PlayStation and

573
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:50.960
who's gonna win there? Yeah,
that fight is probably important still. I

574
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.639
mean obviously, like whoever has more
consoles, it makes it easier for people

575
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:57.280
to spend more money. But then
there's like a level above that where it's

576
00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.400
like the future is going to involve
these cloud technology, whether whether that means

577
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:05.639
cloud streaming or not. I mean, everyone has their skepticism about that,

578
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:07.760
sure, but it seems like more
and more games are going to be made

579
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.440
there and more the cloud is going
to connect these games in important ways.

580
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.679
And if there is going to be
a metaverse, there's going to need to

581
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.920
be a backbone for it, and
maybe Azure can be that. Microsoft well

582
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.719
well well ahead of everyone else.
And the competitors there aren't Sony and Nintendo.

583
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.800
The competitors there are Google and Amazon, and those are companies that have

584
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.400
really struggled to figure out how to
do how to launch their gaming strategies,

585
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:35.440
especially Google. Amazon has begun to
figure it out a little bit with some

586
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.480
of their MMOs and stuff like that, but they still, like the Microsoft

587
00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:43.039
obviously has so much of an advantage
in understanding what developers need because they have

588
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:45.880
thirty developed developers now or whatever.
So when they go to talk to a

589
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:50.480
partner like Unity. Hey, we
have the technology. We have like the

590
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:54.119
hardware that's required to build this cloud
that you need to build your games and

591
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:59.440
have your partners build their games.
And also we understand the challenges and the

592
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:01.559
obstacles they're going to run into,
and we are solving them. We're working

593
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:06.519
with Hideo Kojima right now to make
a big cloud game or a game that

594
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:09.960
uses cloud technology, and we have
a major team in place to solve every

595
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:14.639
problem he's going to run into.
So as you are encountering problems, well,

596
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:16.119
we have people working on those problems
already, so come work with us.

597
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:21.079
And it feels like this fight is
just almost already over before it began

598
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:25.440
in terms of Microsoft position itself as
the dominant force in in providing these cloud

599
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.639
technologies to people. Do you,
as far as like Unity is concerned,

600
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.960
what do you think is going on
with Unity? Because they definitely seem like

601
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.639
they are flailing a little bit and
trying to compete with Unreal Do you think

602
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:43.880
this makes a difference to a developer
trying to choose where to make their next

603
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:49.079
game. They don't know, it's
hard, it's hard to stay because I

604
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.400
mean, you're right. They do
seem like they're sort of like losing their

605
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.239
footing a little bit compared with their
competitors, and I'm I'm not sure this

606
00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:59.760
kind of a partnership is really going
to do. It feels like it's going

607
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.599
to do more for Microsoft and Azure
than it's going to do for Unity,

608
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.159
and it Oh gosh, it's hard
to say. I don't want to.

609
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:08.800
I don't want to speak out of
turn because I also don't want to,

610
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:10.360
you know, turn on and say
it like, oh, yeah, they

611
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.760
can't compete, or oh this is
going to be a big boost for Unity,

612
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:15.719
because it really doesn't feel like it's
going to go either way for Unity,

613
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:21.440
right. It kind of feels like
they're they're skating forward on the momentum

614
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.239
they have and that's enough to keep
them going. But I just it's hard

615
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:27.280
for me to see the pathway for
growth for them that they seem to desperately

616
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:31.800
want, which is why they are
doing stuff like buying ad ad tech companies

617
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:35.639
to you know, bake into Unity
and things like that. Someone a chat

618
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:37.639
says, does anyone except for the
smallest indie studios use Unity. I'm trying

619
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.719
to remember there was a very recently
and like the past week there was a

620
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:45.639
new story about a major publisher using
Unity for one of their games, and

621
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:49.119
it even had them made with Unity
splash screen, so it was like they

622
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.599
didn't even pay to get rid of
that. But I can't remember this.

623
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:53.320
I thought it was like Squaring Nicks
maybe, but that's maybe that's not right.

624
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:59.159
I'd have to look and see for
myself. All right, YouTube will

625
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:02.840
hold the first ever interactive gaming live
stream. Somehow I feel like that is

626
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:09.039
not true. But they quote unquote
call it the first ever interactive gaming live

627
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:14.239
stream. Uh. This comes from
Andy Robinson at VGC. YouTube is announced

628
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:19.639
the first ever interactive gaming live stream
YouTube game On, as it's called the

629
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.119
platforms self proclaimed biggest gaming special ever, will stream on Saturday, August twenty

630
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:28.519
seven at one pm Pacific time four
pm Eastern and feature around two hours of

631
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:32.239
content hosted by more than sixty popular
creators. Uh. There's like some more

632
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:37.840
details here, Rachel, But this
to me, this is giving me like

633
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:44.599
some executive at a TV network being
like games seemed popular, got put together

634
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:46.920
a game show for me, show
based on games. We'll make it a

635
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:51.039
big special event. And they don't
really seem to understand it. This is

636
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:52.320
giving me those vibes. I don't
know about you. What do you think?

637
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:57.679
Yeah? Pretty much? It's yeah. This this max not of something

638
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.400
that like a commute like the YouTube
community once. It's more, you know,

639
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.800
an executive at Google is saying,
hey, you know, let's let's

640
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.960
let's let's do something to remind everyone
we have a lot of game creators around

641
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:09.960
here, and let's let's come up
with you know, ah, you know,

642
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:14.760
a snappy like we're doing this the
first thing and something even if it's

643
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:22.840
demonstrably not true. Yeah, and
okay, So I mean here's what they

644
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:24.559
say in terms of like the interactive
stuff. Viewers will be able to play

645
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:30.320
along by voting in real time on
unique gaming challenges and influence how the extreme

646
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.960
will play out, according to YouTube. Uh okay, so that's the first

647
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.239
for YouTube. Yeah maybe right,
because like I know, I have a

648
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:42.840
game right now which called to the
Lamb has announced that it has like Twitch

649
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:45.000
integration and people can like interact with
that stuff and you could you're gonna be

650
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:46.920
able to stream that game when that
comes out, and that's going to happen

651
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:52.280
before August twenty seven. It's been
a thing for a lot of games go

652
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:54.440
ahead. Yeah, And wasn't that
like a selling point, Like I'm gonna

653
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:58.360
like, let's let's resurrect the dead
a little bit here. But wasn't that

654
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:00.360
sort of like a little bit of
a selling point Mixer was that you could

655
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:05.280
interact, like there was a deeper
bond between the streamer and the viewer and

656
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.159
you could interact with them more.
I mean I never actually streamed on Mixer,

657
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:12.280
but from my friends who did that, that was what I understood was

658
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.480
a big thing for them. But
I will say, like the first thing

659
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.559
that caught my eye about this was
I thought, oh, you know,

660
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:22.559
is this a charity thing? What
charity are we supporting? Oh? No,

661
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.639
charity. Oh, we're just we're
just having a big old, you

662
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:30.960
know, a big old gratification festival, you know for YouTube and it's biggest

663
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:35.480
names. Yes, it's a big
old commercial product. It's an activation,

664
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:37.679
is what it feels like. It's
like, we have a major activation coming

665
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.480
up and we're looking for sponsors and
if you want a sponsor it, come

666
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:43.880
on and be a part of YouTube. Game on. Did you know it's

667
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:47.519
the first interactive gaming live stream.
It feels like we are getting the pitch

668
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:52.199
deck that for potential sponsors, and
they not like filtered it to actually go

669
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:57.960
out and be read by real human
beings. Yeah, here's some other details.

670
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.320
This fully interactive live stream celebrates the
adversity of gaming content that makes up

671
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:07.400
YouTube gaming culture, not diversity of
humans, the diversity of gaming content that

672
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:12.119
makes up YouTube gaming culture, from
entertaining gaming challenges and surprise gameplay moments to

673
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.760
honoring classic gaming anniversaries, all of
which are inspired by the most popular trends

674
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:20.599
on the platform. It's said,
yeah, this feels like it was directed

675
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.679
by the algorithm. I don't want
to be mean, but this sounds stupid

676
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:27.960
as hell. Yeah, yeah,
this is making me kind of mad actually

677
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:32.400
the more I read it. Segments
include a frightening batch of analog horror challenges

678
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.400
and hot Ones Challenge hosted by Shaan
Evans, where viewers selected, where viewer

679
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:40.719
selected players will go head to head
playing Street Fighter six, and where defeated

680
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:45.559
players must eat increasingly hot wings.
Games featured in the stream include, among

681
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:51.000
us, Fall Guys, Fortnite,
Free Fire, Friday Night, Funken,

682
00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:54.559
Grand Theft, Auto five, Minecraft, Mortal Kombat eleven, Poppy Playtime,

683
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:59.800
Rocket League, stree Fighter six,
track media and more so, again,

684
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.800
this doesn't even feel like it is
a big new game announcement thing like Street

685
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:06.320
butter Stix is going to be there, but they are not. They are

686
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:09.159
not promising new reveals or anything like
that. Beyond that. So well,

687
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:13.760
remember when they would do the YouTube
rewind stuff. They stopped doing that after

688
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:17.360
a while because every it very transparently
became less about hey, let's celebrate the

689
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:21.800
great creators on this platform and more
about, hey, let's let's put together

690
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:25.280
like basically a demo reel for you
know, people to sponsor stuff on YouTube.

691
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:30.519
They cleaned it up. They only
put out like the creators that were

692
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:34.480
most palatable, and I can't help
but feel that this is kind of something

693
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:39.159
similar. Yeah, it's you know, I'm really not like anticipating uh you

694
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:42.800
know that, you know, one
of those like trust me, I watch

695
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.840
YouTube gaming content all the time.
I'm not I'm not saying there's there's a

696
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:50.119
whole wealth of great stuff on the
platform. I think we're going to see

697
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:53.920
a very cleaned up and sponsor friendly
version of that. I mean, and

698
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:57.039
I mean, if you look at
the list of creators, I mean it

699
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.280
kind of I mean again, I
like all of these I like, well,

700
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:01.159
not all of them, but I
do like a lot of these creators,

701
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:07.559
but they're very A lot of them
are very sponsor friendly. I think,

702
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:12.000
Yeah, I think that that is
overall the sense I get from this

703
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:16.000
that Twitch isn't anything to sing home
about, owned by Amazon, Jeff Bezos

704
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:20.920
and all that stuff. But you
get the sense that with Twitch, most

705
00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:23.400
of the time when they make decisions, they are making decisions thinking about what

706
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:28.440
the community is going to think.
And Twitch please don't shut this stream down.

707
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:30.480
Yeah, hey, yeah, I
love, love, love Jeff Bezos.

708
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:36.320
But when YouTube does it, it
feels very much like the things that

709
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.119
they get excited for aren't have nothing
to do with like what the community,

710
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:43.320
the viewers or creators actually care about
all that much. It is very much

711
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:46.559
like, oh man, nest Lee
showed up and they're gonna get the rights

712
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:49.840
a big check, and that's what
I'm like, Hell yeah, can you

713
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:52.280
believe that? Isn't that awesome?
And like many of the creators maybe are

714
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:55.119
excited about that by but many of
them like, uh no, I just

715
00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:59.880
want I want to do fun and
cool stuff. But whatever, I don't

716
00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:02.639
know. Good luck. YouTube.
Game on with the first ever Interactive Gaming

717
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:08.360
live stream. All right, we'll
be yeah, I will. I will

718
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:12.440
probably not put it on in the
background. I was about the line say

719
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.480
I would, but I'm probably not
going to. All right, let's get

720
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:17.159
to the catch up where I just
wanted to bring up this story from Damian

721
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.159
McFerrin over at Time Extension. He
wrote this is the title Drugged Coffee,

722
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:27.239
Pirated Games, and Empty Bank Accounts, The story of Game Fan magazine I

723
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.880
am. I grew up on gaming
magazines, Rachel. I don't know if,

724
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:32.639
like was that. Were you reading
gaming magazines as a kid, or

725
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:37.079
was the Internet plenty plentiful by the
time that you were getting into games as

726
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:40.119
a young adult. No. I
read some gaming magazines, but I don't

727
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.719
think I ever read game Fans.
I was not much of a game fan

728
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:47.440
reader either, actually, but it's
definitely this story seems to capture I think

729
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:52.000
a lot of what early gaming magazines
were like. And so I've started reading

730
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:58.280
I haven't finished. Here's an excerpt
from it where someone was from the first

731
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.840
person reaccounting my first day in the
offices. I was dumbfounded at how garage

732
00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:06.960
the whole organization felt. There was
no consistency that to the types of computers

733
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:09.639
being used outside of mostly being max, and many of them were out of

734
00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:13.519
date, a more out of date
than I expected. The space that was

735
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:16.119
being rented in an office building in
Agora Hills, California was a total mess,

736
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:21.440
feeling more like a college fraternity than
a professional company. I really couldn't

737
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:23.599
believe how that company, that group
of people could make a full and proper

738
00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:28.519
magazine every month under these circumstances.
Once the shock war off and I got

739
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.519
into the swing of things, there
was definitely bad parts, but there was

740
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:35.039
far more good. It was like
a dream come true. This was long

741
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:37.599
before the age of the Internet as
we know it now, before there were

742
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.320
all these huge video game focused websites, podcasts you do, channel streams,

743
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.719
or the opportunity for anyone and everyone
to get their voice out there. Getting

744
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:47.840
hired on a gaming magazine was still
a huge position and meant my writing would

745
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:52.639
have a reach that few others could
claim. And Game Fan was the perfect

746
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:54.400
fit for me. As a gamer, I was far more into imports,

747
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:59.039
and I always consider myself more of
a fan than a journalist, so I

748
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:04.199
loved the exciting and enthusiasm the entire
magazine always exuded that for me actually like

749
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.280
really gets to like my problem with
game fans at the time is it didn't

750
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:12.119
feel like a professional undertaking, and
I was much more into stuff like EGM

751
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:15.360
and EGM was like at this time, early game fan and EGM actually weren't

752
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:19.920
all that different. Early EGM was
like, all previews have to be positive.

753
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.400
They actually just talked about this on
Player one podcast this past week,

754
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:24.800
who included some people who like began
writing around that time, where it's like

755
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:28.400
all previous have to be positive because
we don't want to make the gaming companies

756
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:30.079
mad at us. That's what they
were, Like, that was their thinking

757
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:32.920
at the time, Like it was
very important that game that gaming companies were

758
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.719
happy with magazine because that's where all
the sponsorships came from. But still,

759
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:40.800
like by the time, like that
changed pretty quickly through the nineties, and

760
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.199
so like when I was kind of
beginning to read more and more gaming magazines,

761
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:47.960
I got way into EGM because I
could tell that they took the stuff

762
00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:52.159
seriously and had like a dividing line
between you know, who was sponsoring the

763
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:55.639
magazines and the editorial structure of it. But yeah, I'm planning to read

764
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.599
this this whole story about like,
okay, yeah, what who did drug

765
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:02.000
call? Oh my god, that
sounds scary and horrifying, minister, And

766
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:05.880
the kind of thing that could happen
at a video game magazine in the nineties

767
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:08.639
is exactly what that sounds like.
So yeah, I'm I wanted to put

768
00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:12.599
this out there and let everyone get
a chance to read this. I actually

769
00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:15.039
I do. I did a YouTube
video on my own account where I went

770
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:19.360
through an early EGM and was kind
of reading through it and seeing how video

771
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.760
game coverage had changed. I might
do another one of those videos. Maybe

772
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.719
we'll bring game Fan into it.
Yeah, I like these little stories,

773
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:29.960
well, that little story, but
I like stories about these pieces of sort

774
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.559
of gaming ephemera because I mean,
especially with the generation of gamers that are

775
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.000
that are adults now, and boy
don't I feel old, but they would

776
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:42.000
never have any experience with something like
game Fan or even EGM. Really yes,

777
00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:45.119
and so this is I mean,
but this is really important I think

778
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.639
for not just the history of games, but the history of game coverage,

779
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:51.840
which you know, I mean that's
I mean, maybe that's only important to

780
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:54.800
you and me since we're I mean, I think it's our job. I

781
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:58.840
think it would give a real,
real perspective, but I mean, what

782
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:00.119
are you gonna do? Would just
be like you have no idea how bad

783
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.280
it once was. You think you
could you complain about games journalists today,

784
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:07.639
You have no idea what it was
like before we were doing this job.

785
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:13.880
Like I think it's it's a completely
different world. And like like ethical,

786
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:19.400
like ethical conversations about the way to
handle situations is something we take pretty seriously.

787
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:23.840
Those were conversations that just never even
happened back then, and eventually that

788
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:27.920
stuff got brought into it and it
was in like the late nineties when people

789
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:30.599
like Dan Shoe would take over AGM
and John Davison and they had the like

790
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:36.639
serious background of of journalistic ethics that
they brought to the job and stuff like

791
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.719
that. But it was very noticeable
to change from one world to the other.

792
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:45.079
So that but at the same time
they're like that that's not most of

793
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:47.000
the kids that complaining about games journalists
don't care, and it's fine that they

794
00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:51.719
can complains. It's like bringing in
an old series catalog. It's like you

795
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:53.599
think it's like you think shopping is
weird now, you know, like this

796
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:58.039
is what shopping used to be.
Yes, writing, this is what this

797
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:02.360
is what gamewriting used to be.
Yes, exactly, and crafty and chesses.

798
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:06.039
John Davis was a good singer and
corn Well, thank you for that.

799
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:09.079
Thank you for that crafty. All
right, let's get to the poll

800
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:15.119
question from Friday. Do you use
or plan to use any gaming subscription family

801
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:20.079
plans? Forty eight point nine percent
said yes, Fifty one point one percent

802
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:23.599
said no. This is higher than
I was expecting Rachel would but it's like

803
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:28.159
it's close, but it's like,
you know, families, how many people

804
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:32.320
are in a position where they need
to have like four to five Xbox Live

805
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:38.840
subscriptions or eight Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions. I think it's kind of a surprisingly

806
00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:42.719
high number to have like almost half
say yes, I'm going to use this,

807
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:49.320
would you do you? Yeah?
I would definitely because I already use

808
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:53.039
my my game pass for my husband
and I, uh so that weekend,

809
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:55.840
which is weird because we're on the
same Xbox, but we have our differends

810
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:00.360
so and it's it's nice to be
able to share our you know, to

811
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.679
share the games across all the accounts. And it's kind of the same with

812
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:08.639
Switch On with Nintendo switch online so
that we can we can download the games

813
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:13.039
and play them together. And it's
it. I understand to an extent,

814
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:15.880
But I also see why a lot
of people would be like, nah,

815
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:19.159
this is of no use to me. Yeah. I mean, if you

816
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:23.559
are someone who you know lives alone, you're relatively young. I could see

817
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:27.639
doing this with like a group of
friends. But then, uh, me

818
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:30.840
and Patrick Kuper we're talking about this
on Friday. He's like, most time,

819
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:34.480
I bet people who do this aren't
actually doing the money splitting thing where

820
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.320
Okay, I'm gonna get this and
we're all going to save money by you

821
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:39.400
giving me five dollars per month instead
of you having to pay fifteen dollars per

822
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:43.400
month on your own. That's a
hassle. Most people are gonna be like,

823
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:45.199
well, I got the family Plan
and do you want to be on

824
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:46.719
it? And like, that's actually
how I do it with like my YouTube

825
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:50.719
account, I have a family thing
and I don't ever ask anyone for money

826
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:52.320
to help offset the cost of that. They're just like, if they could

827
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:54.280
be on it, they want,
and if not, whatever, it's you

828
00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:59.199
know, no skin off my back. And so I think in that situation,

829
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:01.840
it's like Okay, most people are
probably just gonna keep buying it on

830
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:07.360
their own because that's the easiest.
And it does have that like emotional what's

831
00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:10.960
called emotional labor involved of trying to
like round up people to spend money together.

832
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.079
So yeah, I mean, well, I guess I guess the implication

833
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:19.760
being that because it's a you know, family plan, there might be family

834
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:23.920
like accounts that you can pay out
for to the you know, to the

835
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:27.639
subscription, which is kind of which
is what my husband and I do.

836
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:30.920
So yeah, I can understand that. But at the same time, I'm

837
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.159
thinking, you know, that does
make sense. It's like if it's more

838
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:37.199
of like a Netflix situation where you
know, it's like I call it,

839
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:39.159
like my roommate in college is still
on my Netflix plan or something. I'm

840
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:43.159
not calling her up and saying,
hey, I need you to fork me

841
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:45.400
over two fifty for the Netflix account
or something like that. Yeah, and

842
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:50.239
I think that's. Yeah. When
it comes to actual families or like tight

843
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:53.599
knit groups of friends who are always
kind of sure these things, that stuff

844
00:52:53.639 --> 00:52:57.119
makes a ton of sense. They're
obviously going to take advantage of these things,

845
00:52:57.199 --> 00:52:59.719
and they should. That's who it's
for. If you are like the

846
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.639
uh, you know, the gaming
leader of your family or whatever, and

847
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:06.960
it's like everyone's like, oh,
hey, can I play your game system

848
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:08.320
because everyone knows it's yours. But
yeah, and then you know, if

849
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:10.880
we get another one, I'm just
gonna get the family plans so you could

850
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:14.840
just have all the stuff, have
access to it right away and go to

851
00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:17.079
town. And it makes sense in
that case, especially for the companies,

852
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:20.920
like people are looking at this and
be like, oh, this is Microsoft

853
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:23.079
lowering the costs because people are going
to split the costs of the higher of

854
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:27.119
one of these family plans instead of
just buying a single thing. It's like,

855
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:29.800
no, more likely. There's gonna
be a lot of people who were

856
00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:34.280
already paying fifteen dollars per month deciding
to spend more and getting the twenty five

857
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:37.079
dollars per month because now when they
go to convince their friends to come play

858
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:38.119
with them, they're like, I
already have a family plan for you to

859
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:42.280
hop on. Just sign up.
Here is I'll add you to my account,

860
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:44.519
and now you have all these games
too, when we could play together

861
00:53:44.599 --> 00:53:46.440
all the time. And so they're
getting more money out of that person who

862
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:51.000
is the most likely to spend money
with them instead of like the more difficult

863
00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:53.199
thing of convincing someone who isn't so
sure if they're going to get them their

864
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:57.840
money's worth out of this to come
fifteen dollars per month, So it makes

865
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:01.480
a ton of sense. All right, let's go with the new poll for

866
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:06.280
tomorrow, actually for Wednesday. I'm
sorry, we got the bomb cast tomorrow.

867
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:13.760
So let's see. Are you picking
up Splatoon three at launch three?

868
00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:17.639
I mean I probably will, I
definitely will. I'm I'm expecting to be

869
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:22.639
a pretty pretty successful game. Obviously, it's gonna be successful in Japan.

870
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:27.679
It's one of the biggest new Nintendo
franchises in Japan. Uh, But I'm

871
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.239
like, I want to see,
like, okay, after so many more

872
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:35.320
options on the switch now since the
Splatoon two came out, Like, are

873
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:38.840
people still like clamoring for it for
something like this? I think they will

874
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:43.320
be, you know, in the
United States and elsewhere. Yeah, I

875
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:46.079
mean there's plenty of time there.
There's time between you know, do it,

876
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:49.679
you know when it comes out and
being at a three where you know,

877
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:53.320
there's enough time for me to play
some Splatoon yeah, and again exactly.

878
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:55.119
And it's like the kind of thing
where it's fun to pick up every

879
00:54:55.159 --> 00:54:58.239
once in a while. You're like, we'll be playing it in our community.

880
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.519
We've had a couple of Splatoon two
game night. We had a lot

881
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:02.480
of fun with h So it's like, yeah, it's the kind of thing

882
00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:06.880
where we'll just hop in and play
a couple of matches here and there every

883
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:08.280
once a while, and then when
a new Switch game comes out that that

884
00:55:08.440 --> 00:55:10.840
distracts you from it, it's fine, you just come back to Splatoon later.

885
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:15.719
So yeah, and Dug Foot says, I'm still playing through some Zena

886
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:20.000
Blade three and you probably will still
be playing through Zena Blade three when when

887
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:22.639
Splatoon three comes out in a month, because man, that game seems big.

888
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:27.840
I'm starting ze Zina Blade Chronicles three
tonight. I think we'll see.

889
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:30.360
I'm gonna start it and try it
out and see what I think. Yeah,

890
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.360
I gotta like seriously try to like
buckled out. I say it like

891
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:36.599
it's a task. But you know, it's like over the weekend, I

892
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:38.039
was I was detaching a little bit
and not I was like, oh,

893
00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:40.199
I'm not in the mood for a
big RPG, and I gotta just be

894
00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:44.400
like, Okay, let's just get
our coffee and our hiking gear and let's

895
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:47.239
just get in there and do it. That's exactly right. It's how I

896
00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:51.800
feel. Rachel. Where can people
find you? You got anything coming up

897
00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:53.800
this week? You want to pump? Yeah, you can find me on

898

Twitch Gray Sympathena is my task And what

899
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:04.840
have I got going on this week? I might try streaming something a little

900
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:08.440
bit later. But in writing terms, you can find me on games Beat,

901
00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:12.960
as you know, for my professional
writing and my personal writing. If

902
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:16.119
you have any interest in older TV
shows, you know, I'm not gonna

903
00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:21.400
name names necessarily, but I know
I've got one coming out that today for

904
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:24.760
a new episode will not new,
but another episode of Perry Mason. And

905
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:29.280
you know, I've also got some
other things that I'm She's holding a giant

906
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:31.559
Golden Girls cup just for audio listeners, a changle I want. I think

907
00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:35.440
that might be a hint. I
think it might be maybe, you know,

908
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:38.199
just just a little bit anyway.
But yeah, so that's what I'm

909
00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:44.239
doing this week, So uh yeah, hope to see either and uh yeah,

910
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:45.599
and the giant bond this week,
we got our meeting here in a

911
00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:49.360
little bit. We're gonna figure it
out. We'll be doing I would expect

912
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:52.960
more live streams after this show.
That is kind of like we did we

913
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:57.559
try did we test it on Friday
if you like that, where right after

914
00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:01.519
Game Mess Mornings we went right into
h Jan and Jess playing that mortuary assistant.

915
00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:05.599
Probably do be doing more of that
this week. It's Monday, so

916
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:07.840
we gotta go to the meeting right
after this. Yeah. Yeah, I

917
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.480
thought it was great. It was
fantastic. I was and that's a game.

918
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:15.119
That's how I want to experience that
game is watching Jan get spooked through

919
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:19.320
it, although he seemed pretty cold
blooded about it. It's so yeah,

920
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:21.800
But right now we're gonna go figure
out the rest of the week and come

921
00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:24.039
back with more. I will probably
be doing a grubby stream today though at

922
00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:28.000
two pm Eastern I'll come back and
we'll do that. So yes, for

923
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:30.000
today, no stream right after,
but if you want to stick around,

924
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.760
come back around later two pm.
I'll be doing a grubby stream and we'll

925
00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:37.360
figure that out. I think I'm
probably gonna mess around with the analog pocket.

926
00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:38.440
It's got that update. I haven't
done it yet. Maybe we could

927
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:42.840
just run through the process of updating
it, maybe adding some of my video

928
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:46.320
game backups to it and play some
games on there and see how that goes.

929
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:50.519
Or I could start see or I
could start seeing up Wade three on

930
00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:54.480
stream. Maybe that's the plan.
Jesus Christ. It's like, do you

931
00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:59.239
want, you know, a fluffy
YouTube video sort of content, or do

932
00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:01.960
you want Game of Thrones? Yeah, we'll see that's the difference between the

933
00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:05.639
two, and jan might tag along. Okay, that sounds like fun.

934
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:07.880
That sounds like a plan. All
right, everybody, get back for that.

935
00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:10.519
Plenty of happening. Plenty of more
is happening on Giant Bomb this week.

936
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:14.400
We got some show, we're planning
to kick off a new feature.

937
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:17.400
Then of course all the normal stuff
