1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:28,160
M m m m. It's the
Internet. You're busy. Let's do this.

2
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:31,839
Welcome to the Game Mesticides podcast.
This is the podcast where we decide

3
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:34,640
everything about the world of games,
so you never have to think for yourself.

4
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,320
I'm your host. Jeff Grubb with
me is co host Extreme Let's Meat's

5
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:44,640
make menaughty. We welcome today's show, mikel Manati, how are you bringing

6
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:49,600
me back? Absolutely? God damn. That clip went around a little bit,

7
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,520
and boy felt dumber and dumber every
time I watched it. It was

8
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,039
very good. I didn't know what's
happening. Like it's like like Mike's restraint.

9
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:02,320
I like Michael wasn't attention either,
but like it's not his job to

10
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:04,920
pay attention at that point. I've
heard that it tro like three hundred times.

11
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,760
I don't listen to it. Yeah, like you know, like when

12
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,799
to say your name, which is
the whole thing, Like you just say

13
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920
your name when you say your name. So, yeah, today's episode quake

14
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,840
too, red Dead. It's fifty
dollars and Sony isn't happy, Square Nix

15
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:21,480
isn't happy. Nobody is happy except
for us. You're on this show.

16
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,239
Yeah, Well I'm tired, but
a lot of content today. Yeah,

17
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:26,599
it's kind of man. I packed
Thursday, and I want to like,

18
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,640
I want to do Mortal Kombat tomorrow. I also want to do some quick

19
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,079
looks. We're gonna we talked about
that. And then also, like,

20
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:36,799
you know, I have the normal
shows as well, so you pe game

21
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:38,159
next morning, EXA, I'm like, and I'll play Palter's Gate, Like

22
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,120
what the who the fuck am I
kidding? This is it's insane at this

23
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,439
point, but I don't know,
no good things to complain about. Too

24
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:47,599
much work, It's fun. I
enjoy. It's like, how are you

25
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,239
doing otherwise? Yeah, it's like, well, we're gonna record our first

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,079
Columbo episode after this. The Columbro's
right, Yeah, Columbros is happening.

27
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,560
It's right. But it's like,
yeah, no, I'm good. I

28
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:01,640
was feeling off for a while.
Today I feel better, so hopefully that

29
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:05,280
kind of keeps going on the up
end ups. So yeah, I've been

30
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:09,240
in better spirits today than for most
of the week. So yeah, I'm

31
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,800
doing good. Any other, video
games continue to be a lot of fun,

32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,319
and somehow they keep releasing new ones
that I want to play. They

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,120
refuse to stop despite my please.
Uh yeah, it's like a new video

34
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,000
game every day I learned about that
I want to play. So yeah,

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,159
and then that's a lot of those
stuff to just go on a list because

36
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,199
Baulder's Gate three just has to be
next. It has to be next,

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,159
it has to be the thing I
play. It's like it's it's a giant

38
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:36,960
deal. It's incredible. But you
know, Tears the Kingdom's Tears of the

39
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,080
Kingdom, but like the story for
twenty twenty three really could be anchored around

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,360
Boulder's Gate three, even over Starfield
or Tear's the Kingdom. And that is

41
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,599
shocking. I mean, what's its
Metacritic average now, ninety seven? We're

42
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:52,080
going to talk about that in the
news. Yeah, absolutely sane, it's

43
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,360
sane. It's games don't do that, and this game is and yep,

44
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,319
that is right. It is so
surprising. It's surprising to a cert extent.

45
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,120
Like I always in my back of
my head, I'm like, that

46
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:07,360
game could be really important, even
wildest dreams like this huge, this important,

47
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:13,240
this successful, this well reviewed.
It is hitting on every single cylinder,

48
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:15,319
So yeah, I have to play
it. There was just kind of

49
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:17,759
a thought experiment while I was streaming, like what games do we think will

50
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,919
be nominated for a Game of the
Year at you know, the Game Awards,

51
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,599
and there's some stuff that I assumed
would make it to the beginning the

52
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,960
year, and I'm like, there's
no room for it. Now. I

53
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:30,599
rush doesn't stand a chance, half
I rush no chance, it's no chance.

54
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:36,520
I don't think Fantasy sixteen has a
chance. Any Fantasy sixteen might get

55
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,439
in. But it's slam. It's
a chance. It's a real tough chance.

56
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,680
Yap before nah. Right, you
got to think, like some of

57
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:50,159
those votes for final Fantasy sixteen are
definitely gonna get swelled up by boulders Gate

58
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,879
three on PS five, like winning
over a lot of those people. I'm

59
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:55,639
not like one who was like,
I can't believe Fantasy sixteen is not an

60
00:03:55,719 --> 00:04:00,800
RPG, but I didn't playing boulders
Gate with is the most RPG. It's

61
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800
kind of like, yeah, this
is nice. Maybe a little bit more

62
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,439
of this would have been nice a
Battle Fantasy. I get it. I

63
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,639
get the complaint. Yeah, it's
I mean, we've talked about it,

64
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:15,240
but it is like the lessons learned
of like pulling so far away in the

65
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,759
other direction of being like people are
afraid of that stuff. We can't we

66
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,680
can't even like have a hint of
it, or we have to like hide

67
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,959
and bury it under all these other
things. It's like, no, if

68
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:27,240
you make that ship front and center, and to tell people there are also

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,839
dicks and vaginas in your game,
like you're gonna be set. You are

70
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,519
good. I mean squaring knicks.
You know, they straight up came out

71
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,399
said, and you know, the
producer straight up set like, I want

72
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:36,399
to make it more mainstream, so
I had to like get rid of the

73
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,920
RPG stuff. And I can't help
but wonder as much as I love yoship,

74
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,879
that isn't fundamentally incorrect. Perhaps Yeah, I mean both can be right.

75
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,319
Well, it can be true.
It can be true. It's just

76
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,800
like it's hard to reconcile that,
like based looking at Balder's Gate three and

77
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,959
but like both are true, but
the fervor for Balder's Gate three makes me

78
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,480
think maybe one is a little bit
more true than the other. It's a

79
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,959
fervor. It's a straight up fervor. We got a fervor, got a

80
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,120
fervor on our hands. Everybody.
I hope you, I hope you catch

81
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,360
it. I'm gonna catch it.

awesome. Yes, it's He worked hard

it finally got up there. It's also

93

a sticker pack, and that sticker
pack is really awesome. I paid for

That sounds like a plan to me.

96
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,560
I need to reach out to back
Lari about another round of swag anyhow So,

97
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,240
yeah, we are on Spotify,
Google Podcasts, Apple, podcast and

00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,800
wherever pods are. Thank you to
our mods and support us by going to

99
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:06,680
patreon dot com slash game mess that
gets you access to the private channels in

100
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,519
our discord, the Monthly Q and
A one month early access to our Jeopardy

101
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,680
games, participation in our monthly game
Club discussions, and of course all of

102
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,399
our shows. Add free couple updates
about those things. Jeopardy Game is going

103
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,879
to get recorded here pretty soon.
I was out, then Sean was out,

104
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,240
but all that stuff's in the works. It takes Sean plenty of time

105
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,639
to put that stuff together, so
it'll happen. Just give us a little

106
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:30,519
extra time there. Same with the
Monthly Q and A. I did it

107
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,279
really late last month, so I
was kind of like, maybe thinking and

108
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,600
going forward, I might do it
in the middle of the month instead,

109
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,079
so aiming to do it next weekend. Additionally, there is a brand new

110
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,120
perk for supporters starting almost like immediately, probably starting two night. It's going

111
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:50,560
to be a new monthly podcast,
Columbros, where me and Mike recap Colo

112
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:56,360
Colombo episodes. We're gonna start with
episode one, the Steven Spielberg directed episode,

113
00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:00,480
so look out for that. We'll
record beat more early access for patrons,

114
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,439
So I think we will release exactly
here. So here's the real plan.

115
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:06,040
Here's how it works. It's gonna
be very similar to Jeopardy. You

116
00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:12,160
will get it one month early if
you are a Patreon subscriber. Uh.

117
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,639
And we'll probably put the MP three
up for podcast producers as well, so

118
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,199
if you are in that podcast producers
channel, you'll be able to find it

119
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,000
in there early. So if you
get us through Twitch or through YouTube,

120
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,879
we got you back there. But
if you if you're you know, you're

121
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:27,120
free and supported listener, that's totally
fine. You'll just have to wait about

122
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,680
a month. It'll have its own
feeds, so look out for that going

123
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,759
forward. Okay, Mike, I
got some big news topics here to talk

124
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,240
about. You were ready to jump
in. Let's do it starting here.

125
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:43,000
Quake to Remaster has been confirmed.
They it's releasing August tenth. Some of

126
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,240
this stuff is going to be reportedly
because of listen. Yes, it is

127
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:53,079
out now. It costs ten dollars
ten euros eight pounds. Quake two remastered

128
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720
is what it's called, not Quake
to enhance. The first one was enhanced.

129
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,839
It's called Quake. I mean it's
just called Quake two. Really just

130
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,240
just go on. They just that's
the okay. I think they did refer

131
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:07,600
to it as Quake two Remastered at
the event, but I think, yes,

132
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480
just Quake two. It's coming.
It's PC, PlayStation five, PlayStation

133
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,720
four, Xbox one, Xbox Series
X and S, Nintendo Switch. Obviously

134
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,120
different than Quake two RTX uh it
was. It was announced at Quake Con.

135
00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:22,759
It also includes a Quake two sixty
four for free and a new expansion

136
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,720
called called The Machine. I'm assuming
that is done by Machine Games once again.

137
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,480
Yes, it's just like what they
did with Quake one. Jap this

138
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,399
rules. This is so well,
it's very awesome. So you paid it?

139
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,840
What would you think? It's awesome? It's super fun. It's like

140
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Quake two is just such a it's
a big it's a big turning point in

141
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,639
a lot of ways for shooters.
It's kind of in that direct lineage or

142
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,720
half Lay like really changed things.
But Quake two did a lot of that

143
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,480
also. I mean the source engine
that half Lights built off of is based

144
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,240
on the Quake two engine. The
Quake two engine is basically the first modern

145
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,759
shooter engine. And I don't know
something about this it is still just such

146
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:07,320
a vibe and the remastered stuff,
like you know, all the normal stuff,

147
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,559
like it looking spiffier, it's just
running well and all that stuff's nice.

148
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,159
They had this new Compass mode where
it's kind of like you know those

149
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,519
video games where you push a button, it's like, oh, there's like

150
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,720
the read crumb trail to help show
you where to go. They kind of

151
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,360
build a system of like that in
here that looks so good. It's like

152
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,480
it was, it's always been there, and that's nice because these games can't

153
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,679
get kind of easy to get turned
around in. Right. Yeah, so

154
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:33,360
that's great. I've you know,
I like everything Nike Dive done has done.

155
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:37,279
I'm pretty sure this is still Nipdive
once again. Really excited to play

156
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,159
through this original campaign. I mean
this was such a big deal in my

157
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,080
early PC gaming life. Excuse me, I mean this was this is why

158
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,200
you weren't playing Gold and I.
Right, well, this is why I

159
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,039
was a brat about Gold and I. It was because like, yeah,

160
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,960
like a I sunk you know quick
too. I can play that with like

161
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,519
mouse and keyboard. I was using
the arrow keys like a scrub back then,

162
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,919
because I was like, well,
obviously that's what you use, right.

163
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,200
I had that it looked at millions
has better. Yet That's why I

164
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,759
was a brat about those kind of
things. For sure. Quake two sixty

165
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,559
four is the sixty it's just the
sixty four release a Quake two. But

166
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:15,320
like Quake quick, it's oh,
it's not you're just messing with me or

167
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:16,720
just what no, no, no, seriously, it's like Doom sixty four.

168
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:20,960
It's a okay game. That's what
I was getting too. It's the

169
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,440
sixty four release of Quake two,
but it's a completely different game, right,

170
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,399
It's a completely different game. It's
like a different set of levels,

171
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,639
right, so different set of levels, right. Play it came Quake two

172
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:35,879
came to PlayStation but had many of
the PC levels in It is so basically

173
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:39,039
the same as the PC game on
PlayStation, but the N sixty four one

174
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,360
is like a holy separate thing,
which is why it's cool it's included here.

175
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:45,519
Also, it's very cool renders like
an N sixty four game, which

176
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,919
has a look. It's not a
great look for everybody, but I love

177
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,759
it. Very nostalgic. Yeah,
And I was like, man, that

178
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,440
is they just put so much love
into these Quake two remaster and these Quake

179
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,159
remasters, and that's obviously that's night
Dives mo. But this is very exciting

180
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,759
dollars, it's ten dollars. Yeah, it was just you know, I

181
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,039
even instead of just like asking prs
like ten dollars, I even want to

182
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:09,759
play it now, let's just go, come on, why not? It's

183
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,799
awesome. Uh. You know,
they've done a good job of going through

184
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:16,360
a lot of these, right,
we basically have all of the dooms and

185
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,519
the quakes now and some of the
other like even some more of the obscure

186
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,559
ones from this era like Power Slave
have been done. Night Dives done the

187
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:26,519
two Turrock games. I hope they
keep going. I hope they keep finding

188
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:30,799
more games from this era and they
keep giving them this treatment, because man,

189
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,720
there's something about these that nothing else
really quite scratches that. It's even

190
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:39,720
like the newer Boomers shooter games,
like something about the originals. I don't

191
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:43,480
know if it's because I know the
originals and there's something about that is contextually

192
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:50,200
impressive and interesting in that way,
right, Yes, absolutely, And it's

193
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Uh, the cool thing about Quake
is it's you can go back to it,

194
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,519
You really can, and it is
an anchor to that time in a

195
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,320
way that you know, a handful
of games are but quack aspect. Actually,

196
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:07,879
it's literally impossible Mike that Machine Games
has done two expansions and is not

197
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:09,679
going to work on something new Quake
related. Right, that's the whole point

198
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,919
of this. It has to be
right, I would certainly hope. So,

199
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,960
like, what else are we doing
here? Obviously Machine Games a pretty

200
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,639
busy studio, yep, but god, what I love to see them do

201
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,519
a take on Quake. You know, we haven't gotten quick take if you

202
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,480
were a Quake take, if you
would, you know Quake for so long,

203
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,159
the last like attempts at Quake have
always been entirely multiplayer focused, And

204
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,879
like, that's fine. I like
Quake three, but Quake three is not

205
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,720
like the end and all bo for
me. I do care about Quake one

206
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:46,840
and two. I care about it
as this complete package with a fun single

207
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,840
player campaign, and yeah, it
should also have this awesome multiplayer mode.

208
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,440
Sure, but I definitely think looking
at what the recent Doom games have done,

209
00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:58,879
that is the model you want to
follow. Mike. My question for

210
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:05,440
Jeff is, do you want the
Quake one kind of medieval gothic slightly you

211
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,519
know, a little almost horror,
a little bit of horror, a little

212
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:13,639
bit at Eldric kind of aesthetic.
Or do you want the more just pure

213
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:18,200
sci fi Quake two, Quake onward. I mean, I think the right

214
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,639
answer should be a quake one,
because like, if we want the sci

215
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:28,279
fi like sort of thing, there's
Doom. But but I Quake, Like

216
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,799
I can do that stuff even better
in a lot of ways, and Doom.

217
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:35,039
Doom has all that demon stuff and
I got I love those Doom games

218
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:41,039
that the demon hell aesthetic. That's
one of my lesser favorite aesthetics. Like,

219
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:43,360
uh, what was that that fun
first person shooter with like the music

220
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,480
stuff in it that came out at
House Singer? Yeah, yes, yeah,

221
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,279
I like the game a lot,
but it's like a demon's hell.

222
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,799
Well okay, like I'm you know, just a pause you a little bit.

223
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:58,639
Doom should be doing that, and
don't agree. Twenty sixteen is reveling

224
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:03,120
in that st and nails it.
But that's not the Christmas But this is

225
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,960
you could do more pure sci fi. You can do even more space marine

226
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
sci fi in a way that even
Halo does it. You can he throw

227
00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:13,440
in some of that medieval stuff and
kind of spice up a bit there,

228
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,120
and you also still have hex and
over there too if you exactly want to

229
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:18,879
go and that. I think that's
what you do. You kind of maybe

230
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:22,480
bridge the gap and not not fully
like you're right, you know, it's

231
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,960
not fifty fifty gothic and sci fi, but you go sci fi, you

232
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,440
go off world and you discover like, oh, that gothic stuff came from

233
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,360
space, and it's like that's fun. That's like spaces yeah, I mean

234
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:37,039
most dangerous goths of all Right,
Yeah, you're in you're in space and

235
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,159
it's a space ship. But then
you look out the window and it's like

236
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:43,519
this space ship is also a cathedral
and they're playing organ music like that ship

237
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:46,879
rules. Yeah. I hope it's
like the Doom games in that, like

238
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360
you know, I don't have to
reload basically, it's the best way to

239
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480
put it. That's the thing.
I love playing these games, Like Man

240
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,879
reload it was maybe of a steak. It's fun to just keep shooting.

241
00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:01,679
Actually, god Man doing twenty sixteen
so good. I never played that Doom

242
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:05,120
Eternal, Yeah, I never played
that. I should play that. I

243
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,720
should play when the why am I
talking about other Yeah, you're not gonna

244
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,799
can't make contact. It's not happening
now, not happening. Wrong day,

245
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:18,000
some day when we are older,
not right now. I really I've been

246
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,240
Doom twenty sixteen might be the game
I came around the hardest on from Yeah,

247
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,720
Twisted Metal TV show moment. Would
just laughed at it at first,

248
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:33,840
stupid, how did that embarrassing?
This is since oh my god, you're

249
00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:39,080
so wrong, it's so damn good. That was the worst I've ever been.

250
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,799
Yeah, yes, yeah, definitely. It's like that's the one that

251
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,720
taught me, Uh, do not
judge violence in games until you're playing the

252
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,039
game yourself. You need the context. You have to be in control to

253
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,440
know the context of the violence.
And it's like, Okay, these glory

254
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:54,360
kills actually just rule instead of how
I felt before. And it's like,

255
00:15:54,440 --> 00:16:00,399
that's a little over the top,
idiot. I do that every world combat

256
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,720
too, though, like rippy dishes
are actually carded. Just gross. Yeah,

257
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,720
you play, I want to do
that five more times? Uh huh

258
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,360
exactly. So that's the game that
taught that lesson to me, and I

259
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,759
will always remember it. Red Dead
Reduption Port on PlayStation and switch is coming.

260
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,600
It's fifty dollars. That's the thing
everyone's hung up on, other than

261
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,159
the fact that it's just a port, which only emphasizes the fifty dollars price

262
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,600
tag being But hey, guess what
Strassoni says, it's commercially accurate, So

263
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:30,159
fuck you, Mike, that's a
fun phrase. It has a little beast

264
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,240
pulling out for a while. Commercially, yes, it is ertoire based on

265
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:40,559
what it's not based on, like
like Metroid Primary Mastered, which is like

266
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,000
an actual Yeah, I guess you
know. I do think there are decent

267
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:49,679
people who are maybe burned from their
last remastered or slash port efforts with Grand

268
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:55,279
Theft Auto, I don't know.
It's the most bizarre thing is still the

269
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,159
no PC version that I'm not sure. I have no idea what's going on

270
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,039
there, but sure, whatever you
think you could charge a little bit too

271
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,119
much money for your ancient, barely
worked on port. Fine, Yep.

272
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:14,359
It's a lot of people have responded
very poorly to this announcement. It has

273
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,480
something like one hundred thousand down votes
on YouTube compared to like thirty thousand likes,

274
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:22,920
So yeah, people aren't happy.
But you know, I want to

275
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,960
say, like, will that affect
the sales? I think that price seems

276
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:30,640
high enough to yes, affect the
sales, But it's a price point,

277
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,640
and price points can change very easily. And in two months the thing is

278
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,599
going to be what thirty dollars,
thirty five dollars. But I mean,

279
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,599
it's it's coming out, what is
it August seventeenth, it's coming out in

280
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,799
a couple of days, one week
from today, it'll be out, and

281
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:47,599
then by Black Friday you're gonna be
able to get the fucking thing for fifteen

282
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:49,240
dollars. So it's like, why
we're gonna get upset about though it's not

283
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:52,440
worth it. It's like we'll just
wait then, I guess. So it's

284
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,880
like, well, yeah, but
we still I still think we should maybe

285
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,079
be complaining a little bit and like
shouting just a tad at these companies start

286
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,599
trying to like pull pull the rug
over or pull the wool eyes a little

287
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:03,599
bit, and it's same, Yeah, I guess. But man, of

288
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,680
all the things I'm playing the rest
of this year, as much as I

289
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,920
like Red Dead, Redemption one that's
not exactly high on my lists, no

290
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,640
chance in hell. Yeah, absolutely, uh. Final Fantasy sixteen didn't meet

291
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:21,400
high end expectations. Square It's a
share price dropped nearly fifteen percent on this

292
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:26,480
news after it's Q two twenty twenty
twenty earnings report. Uh where, And

293
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:29,640
they also had you know, sixty
five percent dropping profits. But the company

294
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:33,839
sided slow PS five adoption and Final
Fantasy sixteen's launch sales as a reason for

295
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,400
the decline is Station five adoptions slow? No? Well, I mean maybe

296
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:45,079
at one point it's not just isn't
it just somebody's gonna say apparently it is

297
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,359
as well, which is crazy.
But their whole thing is like we predicted

298
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,680
twenty five million, twenty five million
consoles sold for this is the next story

299
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,920
as well, twenty five million consoles
sold for the year, and we're a

300
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,480
little bit behind that pace. And
I'm like, well, you get no

301
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,359
ship, Like it's a huge number. How does this keep? How are

302
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:07,160
why are the expectations always so ridiculous? It's like it looks makes them look

303
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,319
good to exceed quote unquote expectations,
right. This is this jam was on

304
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,640
Game This Mornings this morning, and
we talked like that's the thing, like

305
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,200
these companies are almost always conservative in
their predictions so that they can overcome them.

306
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,200
They can like, oh, we
beat expectations, you know, we

307
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,359
we wrote for I wrote for games, but you still do Oh beats expectations

308
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,599
a big thing among investments, the
love that's really of that they should exactly.

309
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,319
So if you set high expectations,
you better meet them. At the

310
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,839
very very least. FAC sixteen is
like sewing at the same pace as Final

311
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:42,960
Facy seven remake, which should have
been a bigger deal and was. It

312
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,440
came out for a platform that definitely
had more consoles sold at the point it

313
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,640
came out of. So I don't
know what else they were expecting. Yeah,

314
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,160
it's really tough for me to imagine
them thinking this thing was going to

315
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,880
sell five million copies across you know, thirty five forty million PlayStation fives in

316
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:04,200
the first couple of weeks. Yes, this is this is bananas, and

317
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:07,880
it's bad Square Knicks being the bad
Square. Yeah, there's a part of

318
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,680
me it's like, maybe maybe they're
sincere about it, Like, no,

319
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:15,839
it's expectations, it's fine, and
maybe something's getting lost of translation. I

320
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,279
don't know, because it is Square
Knicks has done it before. I get

321
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:22,759
it. It is so baffingly bafflingly, stupid. There you go, baffing,

322
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,680
you got you had to write the
second time. You should have given

323
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,920
up away quick. I thought if
I did, I thought I could do

324
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,680
it two times in a row and
that would negate. Then I sluss up

325
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,440
again. Then I messed it up
again. I get it. I know

326
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,799
what you mean. I know what
you're going for. Yeah, I mean

327
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:45,400
yeah, baffing, lean, baffole, lean, stupidly, baffling, confusingly,

328
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:51,200
stupid, just stupid as shit.
Mike, It's sure, sure,

329
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,839
and it's it's a rake they set
up themselves to step on every time.

330
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,599
Every time. They don't have to
have those high expectations. They can just

331
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,799
a lie say because they said they
even said high end expectation. I mean,

332
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:11,000
I guess they need some excuse for
why their profits are weighed down,

333
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:12,920
right. They don't even need to
tell them that you had a range of

334
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:19,119
expectations to say in bad expectations,
Yeah, like what, I don't know.

335
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,039
It's it's it's weird and stupid and
bad. And I think do you

336
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:30,119
think their phone Star expectations are I
think it's sell twelve million copies. You

337
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,240
know, it always goes back to
square Nicks. It's just kind of a

338
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,839
it feels lost. They feel lost, even when they're putting out games that

339
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:44,440
are generally liked, like Final Fantasy
sixteen, even with a money printing factory

340
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:47,880
like Final Fantasy fourteen, they just
it just seems like they can't get all

341
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,680
of their ship together there. It
always is kind of messy over there.

342
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:52,519
And this is another game. They
feel like a company that was hoping and

343
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:57,799
expecting to be bought, like just
right right like and it has had a

344
00:21:57,799 --> 00:22:00,559
CEO leave because us that didn't happen. And now they're like, well,

345
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:03,079
we don't have a plan for the
future. The plan was to get bought

346
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:07,799
and now that's not happening. So
someone else can figure this out. And

347
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,640
you know, they're making deals with
bike er Soft and they have some stuff

348
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,799
in the works, but they need
to they need to recounterlate. They came

349
00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:21,640
out this year. Jesus Christ.
Really this Yeah, that was a scared

350
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:27,279
dude. That's crazy spokenhead. Whoa
Oh God, that actually is deeply upsetting.

351
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:32,920
Oh I am unmoored from reality.
Okay, uh yeah, then Sony

352
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,559
is still not satisfied with PS five
sales in the UK. Sony's PS five

353
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:38,720
price cut hasn't led to the reaction
they hoped for in the UK. This

354
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:42,359
is what's crazy, Okay. God, they raised the price and people bought

355
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:51,559
it lest they brought the price back
to right, these ungrateful smurfs. They

356
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,079
brought the price way down to end. People are buying it like fucking crazy.

357
00:22:57,319 --> 00:23:02,720
So the sales are up something like
five hundred percent compared but before the

358
00:23:02,759 --> 00:23:07,480
price what are you talking about?
What is happening? Why are they all

359
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:11,480
like this? Hey, Mike,
remember two weeks ago when you and I

360
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:15,920
were on this podcast talking about Boy, the PS five shari is selling like

361
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,279
hotcakes? Yeah, boy, how
they forget Sorry I decided to get that

362
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,559
in there. No, it is, but it is. It just straight

363
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,200
up is and that would sell even
better because it's a significant price drop.

364
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:27,960
And they're like, sales are weak
in the UK, but Europe as a

365
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:33,039
whole is performing well. PS five
hardware sales increased by thirty eight percent year

366
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,720
on year in the first quarter.
Sony is working the amblement measures to achieve

367
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,160
their rip on. Jim Ryan,
I'm sorry, definitely, I don't yeah,

368
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:44,160
right, Like you can't even get
it to sell in the UK.

369
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:48,119
I don't know. But PS five
sales jumped seventy five percent in the UK

370
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,039
following the sale, and that was
like by one measure, but by another

371
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:55,359
measure, it was up like a
huge amount from like the weeks preceding the

372
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,359
sale. PS five unit sales are
up seventy three percent for the first thirty

373
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,200
one weeks of the year. So, I mean, they're worried about being

374
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:07,240
not hitting that twenty five million number, but that's and that's why they have

375
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,200
this sale. That's one of the
big reasons they have the sale. They're

376
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,359
also probably going to get a boost
when they do launch the new model of

377
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,200
the PS five that almost certainly is
coming out. I know we haven't had

378
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,519
an announced, but to get a
boost when Spider Man happens, it's Spider

379
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:22,799
Man two, yep. But it
doesn't matter if the boost isn't as much

380
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,960
as the imaginary number that you thought
the boost would be. I guess Chat

381
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,039
helped me out. Was ten million
is how many inches the PS five sold

382
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,559
last quarter? Right, it was
in that range. I think it was

383
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:37,160
close to ten million. Uh maybe
maybe it was like eight million or something

384
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,319
like that, but it's definitely gonna
do about that same amount amount throughout the

385
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,519
summer quarter, which is crazy,
and then they could do as much as

386
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:51,079
like twelve million in the holiday quarter, if not more than that. So

387
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,319
it's like, right there, you're
you're maybe at your numbers. I don't

388
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,440
know. I just so the PS
five is selling just about as fast as

389
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,039
the PS four in terms of if
you line it up, and really,

390
00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:04,759
if you just look at the last
few months since the supply constraints have been

391
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:08,440
fixed, it's way out selling the
PS four. How can you not be

392
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:14,359
satisfied with that. I don't know. I have no idea. It's deeply

393
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,279
upsetting. Yeah, it's it's like, I'm just trying to understand these companies.

394
00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:22,440
Sometimes it is infuriating. Sony says
it's delayed some games. This is

395
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,279
a weird one. Sony delayed several
unnamed first party titles beyond March twenty twenty

396
00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:30,559
four. This may be the reason
why the recent PlayStation showcase was disappointing,

397
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,799
some speculation from some people out there. Among the possible delayed titles, people

398
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:41,240
are again speculating could be Stellar Blade, the Last of US Factions, and

399
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,960
Twisted Metal, the reboot that was
rumored to be in development, although who

400
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,359
knows how close that actually is.
Team of soby Bluepoint Ben Studio, another

401
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,680
high end, high profile DEBS,
are reportedly working on new games, but

402
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,599
we haven't heard about those. I
don't know, Mike, do you have

403
00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:59,240
any ideas like what might be delayed, what might not? I mean,

404
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:03,519
we know Fast is delayed, like
they said yeah on ice Yeah right,

405
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:07,920
so yeah, like maybe never coming
out delayed, yeah, but otherwise mean,

406
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,160
we don't know much really except for
like rumor and speculating on what is

407
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:15,519
coming in a post Spider Man two
world. You know, you assume the

408
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:21,039
next Ghost of Tsushima. You assume
like hopefully an Astro game and the Last

409
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:23,880
of Us Part three, among other
things. But I don't know, like

410
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:30,279
one of their dozen life surface games. I guess yep. And And it's

411
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:34,279
like, you know, it can
feel like a little bit like Sony is

412
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,680
kind of barren right now. But
they do have Spider Man two coming,

413
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,000
And they had a streak of PS
five games before this, like before this

414
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,039
like small, Small, Little Dearth, this little Breaks Fantasy and then and

415
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,400
then right and then they haven't four
spoken. Yeah, but it's like they're

416
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,680
also like the PS five is the
system, the platform that is going to

417
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,960
benefit the most from things like Matt
coming out and in FIFA and then like

418
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,720
a Spider Man two, not Spider
Man two. I'm really it's about to

419
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,440
get an unexpected Bolterskate three boost,
right right, Balderskate three. Uh,

420
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,640
there's like other big third party releases
coming out this year that are are going

421
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,119
to push out PS five and that
thing. It's it almost is kind of

422
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,839
not a big deal. It's as
long as Spider Man two comes out and

423
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,200
then all those other things happen,
the PS five's gonna be just fine.

424
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:26,720
But if you're just like looking at
PS PlayStation first party games, is it

425
00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:29,519
gonna be like what is going on? There are these live service games getting

426
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:32,480
the way of everything. It's probably
not that simple, but maybe there's something

427
00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:34,000
to that. I don't know.
Also, games are just bigger than ever,

428
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:41,720
and even those big Sony studios can
run into problems. Absolutely all right,

429
00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:45,319
let's see here. Balters Gate three
is the best reviewed game of the

430
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,720
year so far. Balters Gate three
has a ninety seven on Metacritic. That's

431
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,279
based on fourteen critic reviews so far. Eighteen now at eighteen really okay,

432
00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:56,880
and it's yeah, I think it's
I think it's probably gonna be in that

433
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,799
ninety seven range. It's currently the
second highest rate. It is currently in

434
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:03,880
the second half, but I think
that's that's change. I think it is

435
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:07,680
the highest rated game. It will
be released on PS five next month.

436
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:14,079
An Xbox version may come next year. This game really is winning over just

437
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,480
about everyone that's playing it. It
seems like, yeah, Tears the Kingdom

438
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:21,839
is a ninety six, so this
is slightly better than that. Right now,

439
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,279
A ninety seven is about as good
as I think you can get these

440
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,640
days. I don't know when we've
seen a ninety eight in recent memory.

441
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,279
Right when was the last ninety eight? Was it? I don't know.

442
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,119
I think when I think about ninety
eight, I think about like old stuff

443
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:40,519
like Awkrida Time Tony Hawk game ninety
eight. At some point. Yeah,

444
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:44,880
that's just absolutely uh bananas that this
game is doing that well and it is

445
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:48,079
just reach You know, there's a
certain point where something that can see niche,

446
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,119
it just comes out to this kind
of quality in the word of mouth

447
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,880
these days can spread very easily.
And the other factor people just starving for

448
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,119
this kind of game. All those
BioWare freaks who have kind of been left

449
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,160
out in the cold for a long
time as they are patiently waiting for just

450
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:10,200
you know, substantial updates on what's
going on with Dragon Age, and forget

451
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,400
about Mass Effect. We know that
they're working on it. They've had small

452
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,160
teasers for that. That's a very
long ways away. Well, in the

453
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,680
meantime, here's a game where you
can cast spells and fuck people. So

454
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,640
that's nice exactly, and I mean
it is what people want. Uh,

455
00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:27,079
this is you know, you look
around for like what other genres can have

456
00:29:27,119 --> 00:29:33,480
this sort of burst, this glow
up, this instantaneous thrust into the spotlight

457
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,599
and it's you know, this is
this was one that was primed. But

458
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,720
I don't know if there's many,
Like you know, Point and click Adventures

459
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,440
aren't going to suddle it, like
Miss isn't sellly gonna come back and like

460
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,160
do this stuff. But games where
you can the common thread here because like,

461
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,440
let's look at the games that have
had this similar effect recently. It

462
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,119
has been Tears the Kingdom and Elden
Ring and am I missing anything that was

463
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,839
the last time Outer Rings like what
I really think about? Yeah, and

464
00:29:57,119 --> 00:30:02,440
like these are these are games where
people can really you know explore on their

465
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,079
own terms, tell the story on
their own terms, engage with the world

466
00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:10,240
on their own terms. And that's
that seems to be the key, and

467
00:30:10,279 --> 00:30:14,000
that seems to be the thing that
is this uh I mean you know again

468
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,799
key that unlocks this larger world of
players out there that are waiting for something

469
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:22,079
that speaks to them. And you
know, the people that want a story

470
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:25,640
told to them, they are,
they are well fed, they are they

471
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,920
know where to go for that stuff. Sony's got you, a handful of

472
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,720
other developers got you, Square,
Nick is trying to get you. But

473
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:33,799
like the people that can make those
games are making those games, and people

474
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:37,319
know where to get them. The
people that are like looking for this opportunity

475
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:41,000
to express themselves in a very deep
way. So when they're yeah, elder

476
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:45,200
Ring did that, it's the first
time from really tried that though, and

477
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,599
and Breath of Wild now Tears of
the Kingdom, it's the first time Nintendo

478
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,359
really tried that. Is anyone else
gonna be able to fall in their footsteps

479
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:55,440
and to have it come from a
small little studio over in Europe, that's

480
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:56,319
like, I think that's got to
be Like, this is a moment where

481
00:30:56,319 --> 00:31:00,039
it's like anyone can make one of
these games if they really believe it and

482
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,039
they recognize where they should be scoping
up and where they should be scamming back.

483
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:06,880
So okay, we have a whole
new world of possibility of what games

484
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,119
are going to look like going forward. And you know, it's it's not

485
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,119
like even this game is doing a
ton of new stuff. It's just putting

486
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:18,119
it all together and it's it's working. It really is, uh And you

487
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,440
know, yeah, Larry, And
obviously when we say small, like yeah,

488
00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:23,720
we know they have a lot of
employees, like like three hundred people,

489
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,279
but it's like, man, that's
that's not a Ubisoft game. Let

490
00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:30,480
me come on, let's yeah,
there's right, you know what A thousand

491
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,400
people worked on a Zelda game,
Like that's that's a big studio these days.

492
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,799
Yes, would it be fun if
the next one was you know,

493
00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:40,720
there's those rumors that Metrid Prime four
is going to be like a quote unquote

494
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:42,440
bigger game, a more open game. I don't know what that means.

495
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,400
That almost scares me in some ways, like how do you do that?

496
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,200
I miss it up. But man, if if we're really setting ourselves up

497
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,519
now, because we already disappointed ourselves
with like Metroid dread and Metroid Prime remasterselves.

498
00:31:53,559 --> 00:31:56,000
But now I'm like, maybe Metroid
Prime four is going to get that

499
00:31:56,279 --> 00:32:01,240
old and ring breadth of the wilds
Gate re glow up. What am I

500
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:06,920
doing to myself? I mean,
but it's like, you're right. I

501
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,480
mean, honestly, there was a
part of me I thought that could never

502
00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:12,000
happen to Zelda. So the fact
that's I mean, but you know,

503
00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:14,440
Zelda's fantasy, and Fantasy always seems
to have a little bit of better a

504
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:16,559
chance. Zelda is Zoda. But
I didn't think it would happen to boorders

505
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:21,519
game, and we don't We still
don't have like necessarily sales numbers yet,

506
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:24,119
although it's got to be millions,
it's got to be millions, it has

507
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,519
to be millions. All dreaded on
PC, yeah already, And like we

508
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:30,920
know that it's sold pretty well to
early access. It didn't know most of

509
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,839
the sales have happened since it went
one point. Oh so yeah, it's

510
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,960
it's it's really popping off of that
game and then EVO happened. There's a

511
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,880
bunch of news here. There's like
a bunch of words. People just throw

512
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,680
in here out of order, under
Night in Birth two cysts celess. That's

513
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:55,359
just obviously a typo. It's all
right, okay, time for us to

514
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,519
shine. That's right. FGC reporter
Turboshan to run you through the announcements.

515
00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:05,880
I was out there this week this
past weekend, I saw the announcements happen

516
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,640
live. I got to play some
of these games, unreleased games, which

517
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:15,799
was very fun. I haven't had
much before. We'll get that. Calm

518
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:19,759
down, calm down, we got
we gotta sit you ast. Okay.

519
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:25,480
So, like Jeff said, words
soup here under Night in Birth to sist

520
00:33:25,599 --> 00:33:29,359
so less, which, by the
way, much better tild than the last

521
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,119
one under Night in Birth EXE late
CLR, which was and there was more

522
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,720
to it than under Night in Birth. I didn't know. Yeah, crazy

523
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:39,680
right. If you ever heard hear
people say UNI when referring to a fine

524
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,240
game, this is what they're talking
about. But it's like the anime game.

525
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:49,759
Uh and it's announced release in early
they're finally only allowing one anime game.

526
00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:52,039
It's about time they put a limit
on that. Oh I know what

527
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:54,720
this is now? This is yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the

528
00:33:54,759 --> 00:34:01,160
people like this successor to Yeah,
successor to Multi Blood, So if you've

529
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,480
heard that before, that's what this
is following up. It's gonna have rollback

530
00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:07,679
neck code right out the game,
which iveryone was very excited for because these

531
00:34:07,719 --> 00:34:14,400
games historically have bad neck code.
So I'm sure Christian, you're very excited

532
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,920
about all this. You seem to
be a big into these anime game.

533
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,960
Yes, I play you yell a
lot back in the day. I think

534
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,000
you're how I found out the game
existed. Yeah, and then the the

535
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,920
fucking copy happens and so we couldn't
like play the game shoes like you can't

536
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:36,000
play online because they online what She's
bad. That's why I need good roback.

537
00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:39,760
So really excited I got. I
got to play this on the show

538
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:45,440
floor, the Shadow dropped their demo, which was kind of interesting. No

539
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,119
one was expecting that. But yeah, and as far as I could tell,

540
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:52,480
it was under night, so it
is what it is. I'm not

541
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:57,559
much of an anime fighter guy,
so I can look like Marvel versus Capcom

542
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,320
three. Sorry, I'm going I'm
going ahead. This is what having some

543
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,960
Jeff isn't in charge of the show. He just like his brain goes everywhere.

544
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:07,199
This is so there's Mikey news.
Maybe the new Fatal Fury game is

545
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:15,159
officially named Fatal Fury City of the
Wolf and the London part it con a

546
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:20,639
yeah yeah, which, by the
way, Garo just means it's like French

547
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,039
for werewolf or something like that,
so it's the wolves themes. Yeah.

548
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:30,519
They showed a brief teaser trailer during
one of the S and K segments,

549
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,039
and if you listen to the voices, people are trying to suss out some

550
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,639
of the characters. But the big
thing is that they showed off what the

551
00:35:36,639 --> 00:35:40,119
game actually looks like, and it
has an advancement of like the KOA fifteen

552
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,559
art style, but it has some
nice soul shading and some special effects and

553
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,880
stuff. It looks very similar to
Marl versus Capcom three, which Norwoods means

554
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,920
that Mike Manati thinks is ugly.
Mike, do you have anything to say?

555
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,679
He's right, I'm right, yeah, this game looks significantly Street Fighter

556
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:01,440
six. I mean, I don't
boom, like I got excited to go

557
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,199
look at it and I'm like,
oh, that's that was my action.

558
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,840
Sorry. I mean, you know, it looks a bit better than King

559
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,960
of Fighters fifteen, which is Fighter
looks like they shouldn't. Yeah, Killer

560
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,239
of fifteen is too simple and like
Garris colored. Yeah, look the art

561
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,679
before they went full three D and
losing those two D sprites is a fucking

562
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:29,800
crime because they were beautiful they look
I feel like is one of the greatest

563
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,039
looking games of all time. If
anybody should be team We're still just going

564
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:37,119
to do sprites. I feel like
it should be SNK right now, but

565
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:43,320
unfortunately sprite artists are very hard to
come by nowadays and just go find them

566
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:49,559
right, Yeah, detailed pixelated nipples
all right. And then then the last

567
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:55,960
like the major like game Slash System
announcements was a Killer Instinct is getting a

568
00:36:57,079 --> 00:37:01,320
tenth anniversary update. Uh, this
is is even though the actual update itself

569
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,400
isn't gonna be that big. It's
kind of an unprecedented announcement to go back

570
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,000
to this like ten year old game
that hasn't been worked on in five years

571
00:37:09,079 --> 00:37:15,760
and add anything. So it's getting
matchmaking improvements, which is following up the

572
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,280
fact that they basically fixed the matchmaking
earlier in the year because it was going

573
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,039
to not work. With Microsoft transitioning
a lot of server stuff on the back

574
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:25,880
end to new services, they future
proofd it earlier in the year, and

575
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,960
now they're going to further improve the
matchmaking. Iron Galaxy is coming back in

576
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:34,400
for all this, so they're they're
doing all this. Why you and the

577
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,960
other fighting game perverts like this game
so much because I've been hearing it so

578
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:44,280
much from like you, from Maximilian
dude, uh, you know, from

579
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,400
all just a sort from me going
on. Yeah, I talked about this

580
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,039
a couple of weeks ago. We
talked about the best fighting games. But

581
00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:53,039
it does come down to well,
first of all, like the aesthetics of

582
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:57,039
it. The music does add a
lot, Like everything is musical in this

583
00:37:57,039 --> 00:38:00,880
game, you know, like it's
got some good effects to some good particle

584
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,400
effects in it. I like that
Xbox One particle effect. Yeah, that's

585
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,639
good stuff. It's like Doom twenty
sixteen, you know how, like the

586
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,760
music like synks up with the action
and everything like that. K I did

587
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,239
that first like three years early.
But also it's because yeah it is now.

588
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,639
But you know it's also just the
definitive dishes and game pass so you

589
00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:22,880
can just go play all of it. But gameplay wise, it's because of

590
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,360
the combo breaker and counter breaker system. You're always playing the game. There's

591
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,480
always a push and poll there,
like you're not just eating a combo like

592
00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:31,159
your Moral versus capcom game. You
can break out of it, you can

593
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,079
risk it, it might not pay
off, and there's that mind game with

594
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:37,400
your opponent of am I get break
am I not? It's very fun.

595
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:43,960
But the last two things in the
announcement is that it's getting a native Xbox

596
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,400
Series version. It didn't have that
before. Is this backwards campatible Xbox One

597
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,320
version, So it will presumably be
you know, like four K Series X

598
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,079
and then fourteen forty on Series as
we all know for sure, but we

599
00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:57,840
assume that what's gonna be the big
one is it's getting a balance update,

600
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,599
which is really weird for a game
this old light to bring the old team

601
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:04,480
in and say, hey, yeah, you can make the fixes you think

602
00:39:04,519 --> 00:39:07,199
need to be made after you know, these five years of pros playing exactly.

603
00:39:07,199 --> 00:39:10,519
That's literally what they say announcements,
change up the meta. It was

604
00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:16,320
kind of funny Keats, the combat
designer over Iron Galaxy, put on Twitter,

605
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,679
like earlier in the year. Yeah, sorry, guys, if we

606
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,400
had time machine, we would go
back, we would nerve rash. But

607
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,239
there's nothing we can do. So
when this announcement came out, he all

608
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:30,119
he tweeted was Rashkin was coming to
him. Man, fuck that battle toad.

609
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:35,159
Fuck the toad. That's my main
No. No, I am a

610
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,280
rash Maine, so I'm a little
set. But those are like the major

611
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,320
game announcements. And then we had
a bunch of character reveals. As mentioned,

612
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:45,880
Project L revealed Yasso, the samurai
character from Legal Legends is in the

613
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,559
game. I think it. I
got to play a DCMA Project L two.

614
00:39:50,679 --> 00:39:53,840
They had a bunch of stations set
up right did and I got to

615
00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:01,079
play two v two with my homie
against another pairing and they're like monetization scientists,

616
00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:06,360
just like staring at you. Ready
it's about so we know exactly,

617
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,280
we know exactly how it's going because
when the when the Chroma menu came up,

618
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,079
it's just like, oh, you're
gonna charge out the ass for costumes,

619
00:40:13,079 --> 00:40:19,840
just like, yeah, let me
tell you that money. Game is

620
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,559
very fun though. It's very snappy, and it plays a lot like Blaze

621
00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:29,239
Blue Cross, Tag Battle and Marvel
Infinite like sort of where those tag team

622
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,519
games were going like two v two
very quick like switching in and out to

623
00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:36,760
extend combos. Yeah, it feels
very good. The two v two is

624
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,480
very interesting. There's a lot like
especially if you're couch cooping, you can

625
00:40:39,519 --> 00:40:42,960
sort of like you have to figure
out how like you know, nudge your

626
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,920
buddy and say, hey, tech
me in without like, you know,

627
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,880
tipping off the our team. It's
it's kind of cute. We had a

628
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,199
lot of fun playing. I'm looking
forward to playing more in the future.

629
00:40:51,039 --> 00:40:53,440
Guilty Your Strive add a couple of
things, a couple of new mechanics,

630
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,679
and all the shirtless cow blots of
one and Johnny, the fan favorite character,

631
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:04,719
the shirtless Cowboy. He has no
nipples. He doesn't have nipples as

632
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:10,280
for me, unlike Mario known for
having his nipples. Yeah, that's what

633
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,199
they call it. Nonnati. Now
Mike was talking about this one a little

634
00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:22,599
bit. MK one revealed Reptile Astra
and Havoc are coming back. So Reptile

635
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,639
Classic had been two from the PS
two era. There. Havoc looks awesome.

636
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,480
He's sort of like a zombie type
character. Like one of his attacks

637
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:32,920
is like he rips off his head
like throws something at you and then like

638
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,920
puts his head back on, like
really man. Yeah, it's it's it's

639
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,559
interesting. And then one of the
older characters, Serena, is a cameo.

640
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:45,639
That's a Mortal Oh Serena Serena and
Mortal komp by four character. I

641
00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:49,440
don't remember Armageddon. I think it
was the last time she popped up.

642
00:41:49,519 --> 00:41:53,199
Yeah, best known for Mortal Kombat
mythology sub Zero Mike, that's that's a

643
00:41:53,599 --> 00:42:00,000
crowning accomplishment. That's looks great.
By the way, Jeff, the people

644
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:02,039
on your game mess poll, that's
I think that was. Those are people

645
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:05,320
who just don't know who are like, oh, we like reptile. It

646
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,639
looks like tasteless fass heathens. I
bet Sean will back me up. And

647
00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:14,880
within the fighting game community, I
think everybody's very excited to see Reptile be

648
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:20,280
more humanish again. Yeah, people
do tend to prefer human reptile, which

649
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,199
has always been interesting to me considering
he is, you know, he's always

650
00:42:23,199 --> 00:42:27,480
been like some degree as shape shifter. But yeah, people people do like

651
00:42:27,519 --> 00:42:30,119
Wayne's kind of just a ninja rather
than like the m K nine version where

652
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:35,960
he's like lizard Man. Yeah,
I don't like that lizard Man. Last

653
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,960
couple here, Tech and eight revealed
that Raven is coming back, so a

654
00:42:39,079 --> 00:42:43,519
Ninja type character of that fans like
a lot. And then my favorite,

655
00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:50,559
the newcomer, Azusena was revealed.
Ye see, I was thinking about I

656
00:42:50,599 --> 00:42:52,639
was thinking about this. I'm like, man, Mike wouldn't be bitching if

657
00:42:52,639 --> 00:42:58,840
she was the coke zero queen.
It's just because she's the coffee queen.

658
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,639
He's like that face on. Mike
went from how dare you too? Well,

659
00:43:01,639 --> 00:43:07,480
He's right, I mean sounds better
to be. He's just staring are

660
00:43:07,519 --> 00:43:12,480
He's like, how dare this like
hyperactive girl be peddling this sludge to me?

661
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,119
Exactly? I was watching Max's video. We pointed out a little bit

662
00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:20,519
of Laura from Street Fire five in
this character, which I'm like, yeah,

663
00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:22,760
probably explains why I like her,
but a little bit. But I

664
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:30,239
mean, how dare you staying where
she stuh? So that Yeah, those

665
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,119
are some fun announcements. There's some
other like technical stuff that they announced for

666
00:43:34,159 --> 00:43:36,880
tecking up. Oh no, was
a weirdo and came on and sort of

667
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:43,000
like no joked about street Fire Cross
or taking cross Street. That was a

668
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:49,920
weird moment. Yeah, that was
like, what's even last year was the

669
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,880
taking guy came out and said like, no, we definitely should tradup killed

670
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:58,599
that project. That project doesn't anymore. There's been back and forth there.

671
00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:00,400
Who the hell knows there, It's
just a joke now, oh no,

672
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,840
it's no longer in CapCo. So
yeah, so I was I was thinking

673
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,880
that, like me and my bike
was saying to each other in the audience,

674
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,719
like, does kevcom know that he
made this joke? Do they know

675
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,840
he's on the stage right now.
It was a weird moment, but yeah,

676
00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:16,079
the returning character in Raven, new
character now as the saying looked very

677
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:20,199
cool. Tech and eight continues look
good. I did play a little Tech

678
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:24,119
and eight. It feels like tech
and seven shocker tech and feels like tech

679
00:44:24,199 --> 00:44:28,280
in which is kind of what techn
b do. It's sort of it's thing

680
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:35,519
I forgot. I forgot to mention
MK one. I'm very upset with WB

681
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,760
Slash another REALM Slash whoever put this
shagau. They had what is like basically,

682
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,719
you know, like an E three
booth type thing, but with eight

683
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,880
setups, and it's like, did
you really think that Mortal Kombat would only

684
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,800
need sixteen people at a time for
when you have like twenty thousand people potentially

685
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,159
coming in and out this over the
weekend like appointments. When we played it,

686
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,239
Howl get me in. I was
gonna say, yeah, like you

687
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:05,039
you lucky fucker's probably just liked got
to experience the same demo, and I

688
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:07,639
was like, boon, just had
hi. Jeff, Right, how much

689
00:45:07,679 --> 00:45:12,320
do you waited to play in Sean? That's the thing it was. I

690
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,119
waited fifteen minutes. I moved like. It took fifteen minutes to get a

691
00:45:16,159 --> 00:45:19,079
single group through there. So I
was like, oh, yeah, we're

692
00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:22,239
not standing here in line. So
I was a little a little upset experience.

693
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,480
We'll be playing that game in about
a month, right, So yeah,

694
00:45:24,519 --> 00:45:27,920
exactly, so, which is why
I was just like, plus,

695
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,159
just bounce, let's do something else. Well, yeah, it's coming out

696
00:45:30,199 --> 00:45:31,960
soon. I was, there's no
need to yeah, but yeah. Last

697
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,599
one was three fist six. The
news everyone's talking about, of course,

698
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,119
is the TMNT crossover that they're doing
in the Battle Hub and everything. It

699
00:45:40,159 --> 00:45:44,719
was a very cool moment in person
to watch when we all started singing the

700
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,199
teenage Moman Ninja Turtles song a whole
arena of people. That was super cool.

701
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,920
And then we saw the trailer and
it's like, oh yeah, costumes

702
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:58,119
and stuff. Cool, Oh it's
for it's for the avatars. Okay,

703
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,559
little weird. And then as we
know now fifteen dollars each really right?

704
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:08,000
Reallys were like a skin to make
Reu look like Leonardo. That's one thing,

705
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:12,440
a little more, yeah, but
also that's more than a character.

706
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:19,599
That's more than a playable characters cheap
yep. The TMNT as a team,

707
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:23,440
we're ten dollars an Injustice too.
That's like the funny thing. Yeah,

708
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,920
I mean, yes they are.
They we gave them an inch once they're

709
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,800
taking a mile now, like that
is just what has happened here, and

710
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,440
or may just Capcom having less poll
They were like, yeah, I guess

711
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,800
we'll take what we can get,
right, I mean, toothpaced out of

712
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,400
the tube and a lot of the
stuff though, they're they're just gonna they

713
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,519
see other people getting away with twenty
dollars skins, they're gonna try to go

714
00:46:43,559 --> 00:46:45,320
as high as they can. That's
yeah, that's what you're seeing. And

715
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,840
it's just it's where the industry's as. So it's like even if full price

716
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,760
game seems like, you know,
we're good behind in this direction. Yeah,

717
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,119
and it is what it is.
Last thing was that we got the

718
00:46:57,159 --> 00:47:01,880
first look at hockey the next UH
charter that's gonna be released for dlc UH

719
00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:07,519
taking over jury in the hearts and
minds of those types of fans. And

720
00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:13,639
somebody in her trailer, yeah,
she basically murders you the player character.

721
00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:16,840
Hell yeah, yeah, so what's
kind of bad. I think it was

722
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:22,079
a bad trailer. I don't understand. It was an awkward trailer. I

723
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:24,880
don't want to see her poison somebody. Yeah, I don't want to see

724
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,760
your world to her stuff. It
was what is she from? She knew

725
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,840
or knew she is. She gonna
be related to Fang with all that poison

726
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:36,920
stuff. Yes, yeah, I
really wish she wouldn't be, but like,

727
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,960
yeah, her name is an acronym
and she's absolutely related. She sang

728
00:47:40,039 --> 00:47:45,360
everybody's favorite Final Fantasy five villain.
All right, very exciting, very cool.

729
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,639
You can't have a street fighter at
three or Final Fight character in here.

730
00:47:47,679 --> 00:47:52,159
We gotta have this fucked up weirdo. Great, but at least we're

731
00:47:52,159 --> 00:48:00,440
getting fan favorite ed after that,
though, at least we're in a comb

732
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,000
at the end of the season.
Let's just say I'm looking forward to season

733
00:48:02,039 --> 00:48:07,960
two. Yeah, conal Wood says
the I can fix her crowd, say

734
00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:12,800
Jam, that's what say Jam said, and she has a view I had

735
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,239
seen in the crowd some of y'all. Some of y'all are like, I

736
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,960
can fix her. No, you
can't. You can do better. So

737
00:48:19,159 --> 00:48:22,000
fun announcement, say evo. I
had a great time playing, even though

738
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:24,079
I got bodied, it was a
great experience and I'm happy I could bring

739
00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:27,360
the news back to y'all. All
right, well, thank you very much,

740
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,480
Sean. Thank you, Sean.
Let me just finish this email because

741
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,840
I was totally paying attention. Incredible, we can hear you. By the

742
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,119
way, we knew. I knew
I wasn't gonna saying all right, so

743
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,519
let's just touch all. Just recognize
for a second that man's doing work,

744
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,000
Mike. I got some super chats
here from my friends that I want you

745
00:48:45,079 --> 00:48:47,039
to read. All right, here
we go from Daracci working late. So

746
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:50,679
thanks for the podcast, Love you
boys, You're welcome. Hey, shout

747
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:58,639
out Daracci. Baba is me,
says feeling up orders Kate three read BG

748
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,599
three is like Battle Rounds three.
I have an older laptop of twenty seventy

749
00:49:02,679 --> 00:49:07,440
low power card and st is PC
that much better that it's worth a building

750
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:13,960
one. Thank you boys. I
mean everything is definitely perspective to if you

751
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,360
can afford it. I think if
you could afford it, yes, you

752
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:21,360
should build a good gaming PC.
Yeah. Gaming laptops have gotten a lot

753
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,840
better over the years. They still
suck in a lot of ways. It's

754
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:28,199
like they do build one. If
you've got a PS five and it's just

755
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,679
for Bob boulders Gate three, you
could probably safely just wait for the PlayStation

756
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,760
five version. Oh, Greg says, man, this Mike guy is a

757
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,519
good guest house. You should bring
him in full time. To the Jeff

758
00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:42,199
Grub game mess starring Jeff Grubb,
Jeff, I consider it. Don't don't

759
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,920
put a big hat on his shoulders. Doctor Ryan says, what's your hottest

760
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:51,360
quake take? I think, well, people were I think getting a little

761
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,280
upset with us about like the like
in the sci fi stuff over the gothic

762
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,760
stuff. I think, So that's
pretty hot? Is it hot? Is

763
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,960
it? Some? Some like it
hot? Jeff? But all right then

764
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,840
fair enough big Jimbo. Ryan says, have you seen Guptill eighty nine video

765
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:10,960
on Honess Sonic characters it's outdated because
the id W comics adding whisper at Imo,

766
00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:15,199
but he makes some good points.
Jimbo, tell me who number four

767
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:19,519
is on the list, please,
Yeah, Jim give us give us some

768
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,360
ideas there about what else is happening
on that list. I haven't watched that

769
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,159
yet, but I'll add to the
watch later. Right now, au Peka

770
00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:30,400
Blue says, Hello, Mitch tune
Freak, McNaughty and Jeff Goonfrey Grub Have

771
00:50:30,519 --> 00:50:36,039
you played the seminal PlayStation classic Parasite
Eve the story ghost places? No,

772
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,960
but I want to, especially ever
since I played through Resident Evil one on

773
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,079
PlayStation one not too ongo, I
was like, I should play other games

774
00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:47,639
like this now finally in Parasite Eve
is definitely high on that list for me.

775
00:50:49,119 --> 00:50:52,519
Yeah, Parasite Eve was always one
that, like from a nintend of

776
00:50:52,599 --> 00:50:54,519
sixty four fan boys perspective perspective,
was like, well, that looks like

777
00:50:54,519 --> 00:50:58,960
the next big thing after Final Fantasy
seven. That must be a huge deal.

778
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,199
And then that's so I assumed,
ever and played it, and apparently

779
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,280
apparently not many people that played that
game. It's weird. It gets weird.

780
00:51:04,599 --> 00:51:08,480
I don't know if it holds up
still, like because they I mean,

781
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:13,719
I'm sure good ship. Yeah,
yeah, you get it gets weird

782
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,239
and they combat it's weird, so
you gotta or the combat school. It's

783
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,239
basically the isn't at the combat that
we later get in a Vagrant story,

784
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:25,000
right, Yes, flitch out us
in that game. It's a little bit

785
00:51:25,039 --> 00:51:28,960
more clunky and it looks weird in
the fields. Weird, So you're a

786
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,039
little clunky, Robert Muno says,
sending a thank you. I went through

787
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:37,599
some intensive dental work listen to games
each time to keep my mind off the

788
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,199
awful things happening in my mouth makes
to keep me calm and entertain. Remnant

789
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,320
too is dope. No, Christian, you're not allowed to chime back in

790
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,719
because he mentioned Remnant too. Thank
you, Robert really appreciate it. Yeah,

791
00:51:49,559 --> 00:51:52,960
yeah, good luck, Robert.
I hope that I hope that we

792
00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:54,760
can keep your mind off of things, and I hope you get better real

793
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:59,840
fast. Yeah, good luck with
your mouth. Absolutely should care on me.

794
00:52:00,119 --> 00:52:02,039
Moto says, God, I made
so much money from the Mario movie

795
00:52:02,039 --> 00:52:07,079
with my cool friend Chris Pratt and
all the suckers that bought Zoda. Spend

796
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:10,800
this money in the Nintendo commissary,
Oh man, you can get it.

797
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,360
You can get a game Boy Micro, Gameboy Advanced Micro that has the cartridge

798
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,920
wielded shot and only has what what
game would be in there? Looking?

799
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,880
Would they put in there? In
the prison and the micro? Okay,

800
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:30,000
what's zoop Lee? Would feels like
the game you get in prison? Holy

801
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:36,519
shit, Dono Wood, says Mike
any thirty x X impressions. Yes,

802
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:42,440
I was playing a bit of it
before earlier today, really liking it.

803
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,519
I think it's a ton of fun. If the idea of Mega man X

804
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:50,199
but Roguelike sounds good to you,
you should be at least looking at it

805
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,039
a sap. I think you'll like
it. I think we're going to try

806
00:52:52,039 --> 00:52:55,440
to put together a quick look Jeff
yep. Yeah, Mike was talking to

807
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,760
me about that, and I think
it's a good idea. So we'll look

808
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:04,000
at that. Sit up. We
will play it soon then. I also

809
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,079
want to show it off single player
though, so that people can see how

810
00:53:06,119 --> 00:53:07,440
good I am though, of course, yeah, because I'm very good at

811
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,960
it. Do you have a go
our pieces? Mike? After your amazing

812
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:16,119
pock impersonation, could you give us
an La night year all Yarrol girl min

813
00:53:16,159 --> 00:53:20,039
always comes out a little bit singing, and he doesn't. It's not singing

814
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:22,840
when he does it. He goes
through yarrow. In my mind, it's

815
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,360
definitely two syllables. I don't know
if that's correct or not. Girl,

816
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,559
It's like it sounds it's like an
orbit, like he's orbiting around the word

817
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,960
y'all. I love that. That's
one of my favorite like starts of an

818
00:53:34,039 --> 00:53:37,559
entrance song that like robot voice La
Night. I like, yeah, you're

819
00:53:37,639 --> 00:53:42,679
dying Et when I did it.
But you know that's pretty cool too though.

820
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,519
My god, all the kids love
it when when Et was dying but

821
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:52,599
he fucking just grow. People like
just cheered. That's the name of the

822
00:53:52,639 --> 00:53:59,400
script for the Unmade fucking Die,
just fucking dies. La Knight is a

823
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:04,480
pretty fun they People are like,
he's just copying the ro Kevin Nash capping

824
00:54:04,519 --> 00:54:07,639
the rockets, the Steve Aust Like, if you can copy those guys,

825
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,039
you run it like, I love
if you can pull it off. I

826
00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:13,519
love Kevin Nash ninety nine percent.
At the time, that was all take.

827
00:54:13,559 --> 00:54:15,239
I didn't yes Kevin Nash exactly.
I've been the exact same way.

828
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:20,880
Kevin Nash, very cool guy.
Try Wolf says Jeff making everyone start talking

829
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,480
about how they hate Hollow Night now
has destroyed Discord. This but I agree

830
00:54:24,519 --> 00:54:28,920
with Mike. Yeah, there's a
big fight on Discord. Everybody you speak

831
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,079
friends and now they're not, and
it's your fault. I never I never

832
00:54:32,159 --> 00:54:39,159
encourage this. I'll I don't know
how the fuck up. I don't know

833
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,320
how to harp on I don't want
to harp on this. I just don't

834
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,239
get it. I don't I'm not
asking for you same thing. I'm not

835
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,760
asking for you to samething. I
just can't believe that anybody who likes the

836
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,280
Castle Viga betrick Via games just doesn't
like Hollow Night. It's the same thing.

837
00:54:54,639 --> 00:54:58,440
It's just the same thing, but
like like better in some ways,

838
00:54:58,519 --> 00:55:01,079
or at least just different as some
But it's a stitch aways that you could

839
00:55:01,079 --> 00:55:05,280
go from. These are my favorite
games too. I don't even like this.

840
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,079
It's not possible, ever said I
don't like it. Maybe I didn't.

841
00:55:09,559 --> 00:55:15,320
Maybe I'm projecting on the dan now, but yeah, Epinata Eater says,

842
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,000
thanks for all the great podcasts and
streams. I'm planning to build my

843
00:55:17,039 --> 00:55:21,719
first PC at the end of a
month. Any tips slash things you wish

844
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,480
you would have known. I'll let
you tackle that one, Jeff uh.

845
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:30,440
I mean, listen, it's it's
no secret. By the best video card

846
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,960
you can afford, Like that is
where your your budget should go, the

847
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,880
best video card you could afford,
and then everything else. Make it makes

848
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,920
sense from there, idiot. It
turns out that you have to kind of

849
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:45,679
build around that though, like your
certain motherboards and certain power supplies are added

850
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,960
for specific CPUs exactly. Yes,
you work backwards from there. Make sure

851
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:52,960
make sure that you have a decent
amount of overhead on your PSU, your

852
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,840
power supply, because you know you
might upgrade one day and then your ship

853
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,800
might be crashing. You're like,
why is this crashing enough case that you

854
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,039
can upgrade too, because that shit
keeps getting bigger yep. And then I

855
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,960
just don't get too fancy. Get
the stuff that people recommend. Go to

856
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,599
PC part picker. If it all
lines up. Usually the things that have

857
00:56:10,639 --> 00:56:15,639
the most ratings and the highest rating
are the right choice. But you know,

858
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:20,880
you can look out for sales right
now for SSDs and then maybe don't

859
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,880
go with DDR five RAM even quite
yet, Like you're fine with DDR four

860
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:30,119
ram for now. So that's that. There you go, and a the

861
00:56:30,199 --> 00:56:34,800
new generation of SSDs and stuff that
are like, oh, this is going

862
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,440
to be the really fastest. You
don't need that either, so save your

863
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,400
money on those things. Lots of
LEDs though, those are important. Yes,

864
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,840
Steph Tendo says, can you do
a draft for a worse of games?

865
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,079
Between you two, I feel like
we have so much more to learn

866
00:56:47,119 --> 00:56:52,159
about the worst video games? Jeff, our journeys one's really begun. Yeah,

867
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,119
that's the lifelong curse that we are. We're in, so you realize

868
00:56:55,119 --> 00:56:59,199
we keep this up, like within
five years, we will be authorities on

869
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,639
like the worst video games. It's
exciting stuff. Huh yeah, we're and

870
00:57:01,679 --> 00:57:05,599
it's gonna happen because again, it's
a lifelong curse. It sure is.

871
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,119
That's different SUPERCHESSI now, thank you
so much, everybody, Thank you everybody.

872
00:57:08,119 --> 00:57:10,440
We're gonna take a quick break,
a quick break when we get back

873
00:57:10,599 --> 00:57:15,920
where you're going to decide the best
games of And it's just nineteen ninety eight.

874
00:57:15,199 --> 00:57:19,519
Yeah, yeah, probably, yeah, probably won't be won't take too

875
00:57:19,559 --> 00:57:29,280
long. We'll be right back after
this and we're back, unfortunately doing a

876
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,239
podcast. Still best game in nineteen
ninety eight. Best five games in nineteen

877
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:37,840
ninety eight, It should be easy
save it down to ninth, not just

878
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:42,880
five games from that year, Mike, nineteen ninety eight. It's pretty pretty

879
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,719
action, pretty busy year, a
lot of good games. I've been thinking

880
00:57:45,719 --> 00:57:49,559
about. This one's gonna be tough
because I didn't get back around to actually

881
00:57:49,559 --> 00:57:52,320
playing Acery at the time, So
I'm gonna be going on my like old

882
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,119
memory of that. I'm not sure
where I even plays it anymore. But

883
00:57:55,199 --> 00:57:59,719
I don't know where do we start
with this year? Okay, I mean

884
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,480
there's, let me say, like
the two big console ones here. There's

885
00:58:04,519 --> 00:58:08,119
one of PlayStation one until sixty four, Metal Gear Solid and Akering Enough Time.

886
00:58:08,519 --> 00:58:12,599
Those are kind of the two of
the first games I think of when

887
00:58:12,599 --> 00:58:15,840
I think about nineteen ninety eight.
And part of why nineteen ninety eight was

888
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:20,840
so ridiculous was that we got these
two big games that were very clearly amazing,

889
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,360
very clearly representing the future of gaming, like immediately, and it came

890
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,159
out like the same month. I
remember, both of them were in the

891
00:58:28,199 --> 00:58:31,320
same issue of EGM being reviewed that
month, right, remember reading It's like,

892
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,719
man, these both these games are
apparently the best games ever. That's

893
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,679
incredible. Yes, it was.
It's like almost shocking sometimes, like,

894
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:44,519
oh yeah, those were happening at
the exact same time, and they define

895
00:58:44,559 --> 00:58:47,440
gaming for me in a lot of
ways, so especially on the console side

896
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,639
of thing. I mean, honestly, like and then Half Life Happy on

897
00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:53,039
PC. So you said Metal Gear
and Macherina time, right, yeah,

898
00:58:53,079 --> 00:58:55,639
and then Halflight falso did you were
you doing a Google doc by the way,

899
00:58:55,719 --> 00:58:58,519
I am. I have it ready
to go. I'll bring it up

900
00:58:58,519 --> 00:59:00,840
here in a second. I just
want to kind of get us the conversation.

901
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,280
Sorry, no, it's okay,
there it is. But yeah,

902
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,440
I mean that's the other other one, like in the meanwhile on PC of

903
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:12,960
Half Life, which is another incredibly
important obviously the future of video game.

904
00:59:13,119 --> 00:59:16,719
So those three seemed like very easy
wants to shout out, and I do

905
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:22,440
feel like almost everything else is maybe
one tier below that, but maybe not

906
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:29,199
even though, because there's a lot
of other really big important games. I

907
00:59:29,239 --> 00:59:32,119
mean, here's the thing. I
think we could very easily say the next

908
00:59:32,159 --> 00:59:37,760
two games and then that's the list, So hey, why don't why don't

909
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,039
can we do some longer shots first? You know, what's funny. I

910
00:59:40,079 --> 00:59:49,280
just noticed now a Boater's gate.
Yes, that's incredible. Here's here's my

911
00:59:49,599 --> 00:59:53,440
longer shot, my Banjo Kazooi three
D platform where I like quite a lot.

912
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,079
Yeah, plenty of years would this
would be a top five. I

913
00:59:57,119 --> 01:00:00,400
think absolutely many of ninety six and
ninety seven and easily would have been the

914
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:05,840
top five. Definitely the best three
D platform from this era. That's not

915
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,400
just Mario sixty four, yes,
five Bye a mile by a mind Crash

916
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,800
Bandicoot, but I know how you
feel about Crass very also this year,

917
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,679
by the way, I think good
luck to you Crash three. Sorry warped

918
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,800
No, But I mean Pantra Kazooi
better than all other three D platformers except

919
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:27,159
for Mario by a mile, and
it's very very good. Uh. And

920
01:00:27,239 --> 01:00:30,880
yet that thing you said about being
a tier below those other games, I

921
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:35,880
think you're probably still right about that. So I'm put it up there for

922
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,119
now. But here's the I know
that you have. There's one that you

923
01:00:38,159 --> 01:00:43,000
have a torch for. Yeah,
should we mean? We got to because

924
01:00:43,039 --> 01:00:46,199
I think it's unlikely that this list
happens without that game being up there.

925
01:00:46,679 --> 01:00:51,480
I have a giant torch for grim
Thing Dango for a lot of time,

926
01:00:51,519 --> 01:00:53,719
I would call it my favorite game
ever. Right, Maga three kind of

927
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:59,000
stuck up there now pomp Basy fourteen, but it's still always going to be

928
01:00:59,199 --> 01:01:02,679
very very high there For me.
I think it's you know, Lucas Arts

929
01:01:04,159 --> 01:01:08,320
was just releasing all these incredible adventure
games, and it really just peaked with

930
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:13,920
Grimfan Dango from Ti Schaffer, with
this incredible setting, this Day of the

931
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,400
Dead style. These is incredibly sharp
writing, and yeah, like all those

932
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:23,599
games funny, but was also able
to really capture the kind of pulp sublanca

933
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:29,400
style vibe that it was going for
and not doing it in an ironic way,

934
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:34,320
like actually being able to capture that
really well, there's still something very

935
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,519
magical about Grymfandango. Even though it's
a game where I know the solutions,

936
01:01:37,519 --> 01:01:40,960
I know everyone's gonna say I've played
through it like over ten times by now.

937
01:01:42,039 --> 01:01:49,199
It's ridiculous how just quality that game
is. This shouldn't be a long

938
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,480
shot. Let me just say it. I'm not going to get the way

939
01:01:52,519 --> 01:01:59,239
of race treatment here. I should
though ten eight Snowboarding Boy any other year.

940
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,079
I'm not even gonna like pretend it's
not gonna be on there. I

941
01:02:01,079 --> 01:02:04,679
would be I would just put it
on there because I'm gonna control the list

942
01:02:04,679 --> 01:02:07,440
and that would be it. Uh, nineteen ninety eight is different, so

943
01:02:07,639 --> 01:02:13,559
it is on the long shot list
for now. Yeah, it's uh to

944
01:02:13,599 --> 01:02:17,440
me there. Every other snowboarding game
got so much wrong compared to what ten

945
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:24,000
eighties snow Yeah, ten eighties so
almost a tight uh ten eighty snowboarding understands

946
01:02:24,039 --> 01:02:29,199
that it's it is about it's about
the carving, but it's it's also about

947
01:02:29,239 --> 01:02:32,599
like the difficulty once you're in the
air and actually actually making tricks a feel

948
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,239
like a feat and that is a
game that is so easy to get into.

949
01:02:37,599 --> 01:02:43,719
Moving through that world is a joy. The interaction between the snowboard and

950
01:02:43,719 --> 01:02:47,360
the snow is accurate to how like
it's poetically accurate, Like it feels the

951
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:52,960
way you imagine it feels when you
when when you remember snowboarding, then you

952
01:02:52,199 --> 01:02:55,760
try to do a ten eighty,
and it's something that you have to practice

953
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,199
and practice and practice because it is
like a fight, fighting game input and

954
01:03:00,239 --> 01:03:01,840
it all needs to happen in this
small window when you're in the air,

955
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:06,760
and the joy of actually pulling that
off something I've only done a couple of

956
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,559
times in my life, and I
always imagine I'm gonna go back and practice

957
01:03:08,599 --> 01:03:14,159
and get be able to do that
again. It is so ecstatic. You

958
01:03:14,199 --> 01:03:15,719
feel so amazing because you're like,
I learned how to do this thing and

959
01:03:15,719 --> 01:03:20,800
pulled it off, and it looks
so cool. Yeah, ten eighties snowboarding

960
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,000
is of special, special game.
It's just nineteen ninety eight is so jam

961
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,880
packed rough. I mean, how
about this, Jeff, You know,

962
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,159
because we do US releases, Pokemon
Red and Blue came out in the US

963
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:37,880
and nineteen ninety eight. Yeah,
it's just the biggest deal ever. Like,

964
01:03:37,159 --> 01:03:40,599
I was so primed and right to
just get fully absorbed by that,

965
01:03:40,639 --> 01:03:45,559
and I got absorbed by I mean
the whole Pokemon thing. But I played

966
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:50,880
so much of my copy of Pokemon
Red. I basically memorized the strategy.

967
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,199
Guy. Like you could tell me
you can say a Pokemon's name, I

968
01:03:52,239 --> 01:03:55,280
would tell you, like there's I
would tell you like what level they learned,

969
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,960
their best moves, stuff like that. I just would just read that

970
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,760
thing religiously. I was just so
incredibly into it. And obviously Pokemon we're

971
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:08,079
still talking about. Guess what Our
last podcast was all about last and time.

972
01:04:08,239 --> 01:04:14,719
Still just I'm talking about Pokemon after
all these years? Yep, Mark,

973
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,800
Mike, are we gonna put Resival
two on this list? It's it's

974
01:04:18,039 --> 01:04:21,920
very good. I wish I have. You know, my experience of the

975
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:27,880
original Resieval is too isn't amazing.
It's recently I went back and played resi

976
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,800
Eval one, the original and loved
it too. It's just supposed to be

977
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,800
a better version. It is just
another wow. I can't believe how ridiculously

978
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:39,880
good this year is. Maybe an
importance factors not quite there, because it

979
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:45,239
is just a refined, maybe better
version of Reside Evil one for a long

980
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,360
time, probably considered the best in
that series until you had Resident Evil four

981
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,960
come out. I think another very
good game. I don't know again,

982
01:04:51,079 --> 01:04:57,280
nineteen ninety eight is just so ridiculous. It's it's hard to say, kind

983
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,360
of similar in that vein and in
that tiers of zero X. Yeah,

984
01:05:00,679 --> 01:05:06,320
it isn't that tier as well.
It's like it is such a you know,

985
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,920
it's the fastest game on in sixty
four, like in terms of like

986
01:05:10,199 --> 01:05:14,239
that's sixty frames per second was actually
relatively rare on in sixty four and so

987
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,559
you got a game that prioritized that, and then and then it's like it

988
01:05:16,639 --> 01:05:18,440
knew, well, if we're gonna
have that, we need to make sure

989
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:24,639
we could pair it up with that
sense of speed. And it's exhilarating when

990
01:05:24,639 --> 01:05:29,000
you have all the when you're passing
all those other vehicles on those very simple

991
01:05:29,039 --> 01:05:31,440
tracks, but it didn't really matter
because you're going so fast that the polygons

992
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,039
just moving past your face at that
speed added this sense of like your your

993
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:40,039
imagination fills in those gaps. And
so I like the way it looks.

994
01:05:40,039 --> 01:05:42,559
I like the way it played.
I really like UP zero X a lot,

995
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,719
but again a year, but a
few fighting games that came out,

996
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:53,320
like, uh, The Street Fighter
Alpha three, I believe X versus Straight

997
01:05:53,559 --> 01:05:58,079
Fighter, King of Fighters ninety eight. I think the big one here is

998
01:05:58,159 --> 01:06:01,960
actually going to to be Tecond three. I think it's actually that came out,

999
01:06:02,199 --> 01:06:06,039
Yeah, Tecon three on the fantastic. It's fantastic. It's very very

1000
01:06:06,079 --> 01:06:10,639
game. Even I know I'm not
a big teching guy. It's so obviously

1001
01:06:11,119 --> 01:06:15,440
the best one of those you could
play on a PlayStation, but maybe even

1002
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:16,639
anywhere I know it was, you
know, I hold a torch for Virtual

1003
01:06:16,679 --> 01:06:19,000
Fighter for a while. As we
know, which when I want to go

1004
01:06:19,079 --> 01:06:23,760
play, maybe it's Tecond three.
Actually, yeah, and Tecon three was

1005
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:29,519
the time when PlayStation was hitting the
mainstream and a really hard way. It

1006
01:06:29,559 --> 01:06:33,599
was like the pop culture like object
of power, and so people from all

1007
01:06:33,639 --> 01:06:36,760
walks of life were getting into video
games, and tech In three was just

1008
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,440
waiting for him, like, here's
your fighting game. And it's like my

1009
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,800
older brothers were playing tech In and
they had never played fighting games. It

1010
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,840
just was everywhere, and that appeal
was obvious in the game, and then

1011
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,079
it just was this really refined take
on an already good fighting game series.

1012
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:57,519
This is probably the peak for tech
In, at least an early peak for

1013
01:06:57,599 --> 01:07:00,800
tech In. You know, Tag
Tournament was in a lot of ways,

1014
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,599
but for me, tech and three
was the highland. I am so happy

1015
01:07:04,639 --> 01:07:09,000
that Richards are Type four. Although
it came out in December nineteen ninety in

1016
01:07:09,079 --> 01:07:13,559
Japan, didn't come out in the
US until nineteen ninety nine. That's a

1017
01:07:13,639 --> 01:07:17,519
couple big there's a big one here. There is a big one. I

1018
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,719
I wonder, I wonder how you
like if let's set right now played?

1019
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:26,360
Okay? Sweak it into oh interesting? Okay, that actually also gets saved

1020
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,199
because nineteen ninety eight in Japan,
but okay ninety nine, okay, okay,

1021
01:07:30,239 --> 01:07:32,400
cool, All right, then well
then what are you thinking? Then?

1022
01:07:32,679 --> 01:07:34,960
Well, I saw even our PG
because I just saw this and we

1023
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:40,960
realized, Man, oh god,
uh yeah, star Craft. Yeah,

1024
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,800
so that's one. That's the that's
the one that I was like, if

1025
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,199
we say StarCraft and then grand Fandango, the list is done, I think.

1026
01:07:49,639 --> 01:07:56,000
But I don't know. Well people
have already, people have usuded us

1027
01:07:56,039 --> 01:08:00,039
on other list for maybe not glossing
over but snubbing RTS a little bit,

1028
01:08:00,119 --> 01:08:02,320
but like it continues for me a
little bit. Jeff in the Engines.

1029
01:08:02,719 --> 01:08:06,400
I'm not a giant RTS guy.
I am usually so good, by the

1030
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:11,599
way about liking pretty much every genre
out there, right, so I want

1031
01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:15,280
to get too much gut for it. But RTS is one. I mean,

1032
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,119
I just never am super at touched
you. But man, StarCraft is

1033
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:24,640
big. Man, It's an important. It still is like it does hit

1034
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,279
in a way, right, Like
I get it with StarCraft. Yeah,

1035
01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:30,800
and it's I get it as well. At that time, I had chosen

1036
01:08:31,239 --> 01:08:35,319
Command and Conquer, and that's what
I spent my time with like three those

1037
01:08:35,399 --> 01:08:39,039
years, so it's like, oh, yeah, I see StarCraft happening,

1038
01:08:39,039 --> 01:08:43,079
and boy that looks even bigger than
what's happening over here. But I missed

1039
01:08:43,079 --> 01:08:47,159
out on it. A couple of
RPGs that did come out of nineteen ninety

1040
01:08:47,199 --> 01:08:51,520
eight, even ins I get it
now, Final Fantasy Tactics is that that's

1041
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,840
actually no, that would have been
ninety seven Believer or not. Zeno Gears

1042
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,520
knows. Okay, people love Zeno
Gears, Yeah they do. I mean

1043
01:09:00,039 --> 01:09:03,359
time still, I never quite got
into Zeno Gears as much as these people.

1044
01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:06,960
I mean, oh, that's a
lot of them. But yes,

1045
01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:10,800
uh, this is the one though. We're like the games kind of unfinished

1046
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,680
at the end, so they just
sort of start like showing texts and you

1047
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,399
fight some bosses, which people describe
that to me, I'm like, you

1048
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,760
still love this game even with that
giant flaw, and they're like, oh

1049
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:24,720
yeah, so you know, Gears, people still talk about it. It

1050
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:29,439
means a lot to people. Uh, that's fine. Obviously, not getting

1051
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,479
people have played this game. Panzer
Dragon Saga came out in nineteen ninety eight.

1052
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,720
That's interesting. Probably in the last
Saturn game we'll ever talk about.

1053
01:09:36,399 --> 01:09:41,319
Yeah, but I played that.
I didn't play all the way through,

1054
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,399
but I enjoyed the eight hours or
five hours probably that I put into that.

1055
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,680
It's that's a good game. It's
a very cool game. Yeah,

1056
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:53,800
I think it's very cool. Oh
God, grant to Rismos nineteen ninety eight

1057
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:58,079
and then the US that's messed up. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

1058
01:09:58,239 --> 01:10:00,800
And this, like this list is
already so I mean here, let

1059
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,760
me put some of those on there, Grand Trismo, what were some of

1060
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:08,720
the other ones? StarCraft? StarCraft's
a big one, yes, you know,

1061
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,680
Gears, But it's fine to see
the games that like sold really well

1062
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,920
back then and now, like you
know, two Raters three, right,

1063
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,159
he talks about two Rater three anymore? Yep, I do. I do

1064
01:10:19,239 --> 01:10:26,199
not now Unreal it is nineteen ninety
eight, remember Unrail, Yes I do.

1065
01:10:26,399 --> 01:10:29,399
Yeah, I do. Wish it
would get a remaster treatment like we

1066
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,680
just got with Quick to be fun
to see Unreal guzzied up a bit.

1067
01:10:34,279 --> 01:10:36,880
I think, I think if there's
something else I've missed, yeah, I

1068
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,920
think that's why don't we look to
our community now see what they say.

1069
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,760
Maybe they'll point out some things we've
missed. We'll get an idea which ones

1070
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,319
they're really excited about. Yep,
just give me a second to get that

1071
01:10:46,359 --> 01:10:51,479
set up and just take a moment. Chad was right, Mike tact Texas

1072
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:57,119
ninety eight in the US. Really
yep, oh shit, they were almost

1073
01:10:57,239 --> 01:11:00,960
Yeah, they were like six months
apart as a huge gap, a huge

1074
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:06,399
game. I'm sure. I know, I know, I know that's I

1075
01:11:06,399 --> 01:11:11,399
think that's lined up. Okay,
Well, while you reconcile with that new

1076
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:15,000
fact, Yakuza Wolf says Metal Gear
redefined the way story would be stories would

1077
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,880
be told in gaming and has impacted
the industry in ways that can still be

1078
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,159
felt to today. Well, the
gameplay hasn't held up the best, it's

1079
01:11:21,159 --> 01:11:26,640
still better than Twin Snakes and that
has to count for something. Yeah,

1080
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,239
I still like playing Metal Gear Solid
one. I know people say that as

1081
01:11:30,279 --> 01:11:31,359
an age gram. I don't know. I think that's all. That's a

1082
01:11:31,359 --> 01:11:35,960
complete lie. I think it's aged
incredibly well. I think it's I think

1083
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:42,439
it makes advantage of being a PlayStation
one game, maybe better than any PlayStation

1084
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:47,760
one game. It makes that PlayStation
one aesthetic just absolutely sing. And when

1085
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,159
you try to do things and make
it like modern, like at a first

1086
01:11:51,159 --> 01:11:56,039
person mode like they did our first
person aiming that they did in Twids Stakes.

1087
01:11:56,039 --> 01:11:58,359
It breaks the game because it's not
designed for that. It's designed to

1088
01:11:58,359 --> 01:12:01,119
work with this top down mostly in
mind, and it just it works so

1089
01:12:01,159 --> 01:12:06,119
well. I played to this game
multiple times throughout the years. I never

1090
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:09,359
felt aged to me. I love
it. I can't wait to play it

1091
01:12:09,399 --> 01:12:13,800
again when that collection comes up.
Alex Wolfe says Ochrine of Time is my

1092
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,960
first game ever and clearly the best
Selda game ever, even without my nostalgic

1093
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:23,560
obsession. Damn good game. Beef
Hammer says some scrambled words, I can't

1094
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:30,000
really crash Bandicoot three, pokem Jandrette
and Blue incredible core Formula remade a bunch

1095
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,960
of times in the first one throughty
one are still beloved. Jet Wolf says

1096
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:41,039
grim Van Dango, Rock Party says
StarCraft Wolf just Mcbasketball says Okerine of Time,

1097
01:12:41,039 --> 01:12:44,600
Miliger, Solid, StarCraft, Brudeours, Bandra KAZOOI. This should be

1098
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,680
the list. Blabo Toront says Half
Life was the first grown up video game

1099
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:51,479
I played after I bought my first
gaming magazine in late nineteen ninety seven.

1100
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:56,399
What an opening. The German version
had robots instead of marines because that was

1101
01:12:56,439 --> 01:13:00,479
the height of video games caused violence
craze. Over Here he mentioned StarCraft Swells

1102
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:04,079
and middle Gear Solid Razzle. Jazza
says, just went to the nineteen ninety

1103
01:13:04,079 --> 01:13:08,239
eight video games Wikipedia page to refresh
my memory and hot damn, what a

1104
01:13:08,239 --> 01:13:12,039
loaded year. This is of the
games I don't get see posted in this

1105
01:13:12,079 --> 01:13:15,399
thread, I'm going to shout out
ten eighties Snowboarding and Spiral the Dragon when

1106
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:20,000
we didn't mention Mike, do you
this year? Spiro is nineteen ninety eight,

1107
01:13:20,119 --> 01:13:24,520
Saint, That's that is a very
good game. I do like Spiral

1108
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,279
wcause I you know, I replayed
that in that remake form. It was

1109
01:13:28,319 --> 01:13:30,560
a very good remake, but those
are pretty literal remakes, and I played

1110
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:34,239
it back then too. It's definitely
the best place one that are trying to

1111
01:13:34,279 --> 01:13:41,239
do more of it Free Area.
Yes, it's it's a very good PlayStation

1112
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,920
three D platform. Right, It's
pretty simple, but it's still very good.

1113
01:13:45,039 --> 01:13:46,880
But they did a good job giving
Spiral a fun set of abilities,

1114
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:51,079
his tackle, his dash, that
stuff all feels good. He's a that's

1115
01:13:51,119 --> 01:13:55,560
a good character, like the way
he looks like. Design is very sharp.

1116
01:13:55,680 --> 01:14:00,119
It's yeah, that's just it's it's
this year is so good at a

1117
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:04,319
big good game expired with the Dragon. I just forgotten that it was this

1118
01:14:04,399 --> 01:14:09,960
year. That's insane. Let's see
Lane says, nobody talks about this game

1119
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:13,680
anymore, but show Go Mobile Armored
Division ruled. I don't know what that

1120
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,359
is. I don't know about show
Go For some reason, that game captivated

1121
01:14:16,359 --> 01:14:18,720
me as a kid. I played
through it a lot or just normal human

1122
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:25,479
shooter sections. But there are person
shooter developed by Monolith Productions. Interesting might

1123
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,840
be one. There's a Balti Monoliths
though this is the monolith that data trying

1124
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:30,079
to figure out which this say is
the current monolith though this is the Middle

1125
01:14:30,079 --> 01:14:35,079
Worth Shadow of War monolith. Okay, okay, yeah. The Vida's Wolf

1126
01:14:35,119 --> 01:14:38,840
five says Tim Shaffer released the game, so obviously it should be on the

1127
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:43,600
top five grim Fan Dango game of
the year. Did Tony says, Raising

1128
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,680
Evil two Fusion says Half Life h
Let's see Benji Wolf says okerin of Time

1129
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:55,800
Baby. Ronnie von Donkensteiner says Bomberman
Hero. I do kind of like Bomberman

1130
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,199
Hero, which I was supposed to
be a bomb game or something else.

1131
01:14:59,239 --> 01:15:01,000
At first of these a bar miss
that's why it plays very quick. This

1132
01:15:01,119 --> 01:15:04,600
really only a one player game.
Yeah, it's yeah, because it wasn't

1133
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:08,039
meant to be a barman game.
But it's actually kind of a lot of

1134
01:15:08,319 --> 01:15:11,960
fun. It is much more of
like a three D platform or actually got

1135
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,319
rented it. But I don't remember
a single thing about I should I should

1136
01:15:15,359 --> 01:15:16,600
check it was met with the game. That could be cool. It was

1137
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,720
Bonker Saw. It was definitely want
to be something else. I forget it

1138
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:25,159
was a Bonker something might have just
been show Up Bonk though Rumham says Banjo

1139
01:15:25,279 --> 01:15:30,119
Kazooe Bopper's Gate three says not to
associated some of these submissions. But as

1140
01:15:30,159 --> 01:15:32,560
much as I love Pokemon, do
not listen nostalgia blind you from the fact

1141
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:36,359
that Red and Blue are literally broken
and are riddled with glitches and bugs,

1142
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:40,720
and it's had two roommates to skew
the perception of the original games. It's

1143
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:43,880
good Mount Rushmore pick for its importance, but a bad Game of the Year

1144
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,079
pick for its technical downfloads. As
an actual game, I don't know.

1145
01:15:46,119 --> 01:15:49,279
I don't remember experiencing anything like that. I mean, there are bunks,

1146
01:15:49,319 --> 01:15:54,760
but a lot of it is like
like Missing though people did stumble upon Missing

1147
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,840
Tho. Some did, but we
all did that because we learned about it

1148
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:01,000
and it was fun to stumble across
that. There are other games with bugs,

1149
01:16:01,039 --> 01:16:05,000
like what the evasion stat just doesn't
work in Final Fantasy three on Super

1150
01:16:05,119 --> 01:16:10,279
Nintendent right, but who cares?
So I'm gonna have to start because we're

1151
01:16:10,279 --> 01:16:12,800
getting a lot of repeats now,
so I'm gonna trying to pick out some

1152
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:16,520
things that stick out. Kafka Wolf
says a spiral of the Dragon uh Fios's

1153
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:23,600
bantro kazooe uh Wolfieg just wants to
get an ah woo. We wanted to

1154
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:34,479
who London Octo says grim Fandango Visions
Vision says Thief Thief Thiefs the Dark Project

1155
01:16:35,199 --> 01:16:41,680
this year. Yeah check wi look
at that. Rogue squads have Roge Squadron

1156
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,680
gets completely over showed by Rogue Leader
for me later. But Thief the Dark

1157
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,640
Project very cool game. That's a
game I actually put up for a pull

1158
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,840
in the game that's game click because
I want to go back to it.

1159
01:16:50,159 --> 01:16:54,840
I think it's till in some ways
it still does that kind of stealthing better

1160
01:16:54,880 --> 01:17:00,039
than modern games do thief was really
cool? It deserves a shower out or

1161
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:05,800
sure Breadfish created the game mess logo
inside a StarCraft if you want to,

1162
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,680
you're taking a look. Thank you. It's an amazing bread Fish. Thank

1163
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,079
you. They like that a lot
more, a lot more ofcery enough times,

1164
01:17:16,119 --> 01:17:19,680
a lot more metal gears. Uh
Buggadillo says easy game of the year

1165
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:26,039
goes to Quest sixty four, and
he has a picture here of a looks

1166
01:17:26,039 --> 01:17:30,800
like a really old computer monitor or
something playing Quest sixty four with a bush

1167
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:38,000
beer and then a salad like mixing
bowl with like eight nine ten copies of

1168
01:17:38,079 --> 01:17:41,800
Quest sixty four in there. Incredible, it is incredible. What a feast,

1169
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,720
screaming mad insistance. Madden will surely
get robbed again, Madden NFL ninety

1170
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:53,399
nine getting the sub this time.
I'll echo my support for Banjo Kazooi KAZOOI

1171
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,560
love. Of course. It's a
very very very good game. Good game.

1172
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,560
For a while, I didn't,
I didn't get it. Actually I

1173
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,680
didn't come around and like be like, okay, I get it until Rare

1174
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:05,840
Replay came out. I think it's
the rare art style. It has to

1175
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,239
grow on you a little bit.
It does a little bit, doesn't it.

1176
01:18:09,239 --> 01:18:11,439
I mean, yes, I think
back then I was like, well,

1177
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,520
this just isn't as good as Marto
sixty four, So what do I

1178
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,279
care? Sure now I'm able to
move past that. Right now, it's

1179
01:18:16,279 --> 01:18:20,159
like, oh, this is better
than every other three D platforms three warped,

1180
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:25,520
Uh, let's see the former the
former boomer Wolf four. It was

1181
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:30,560
mentioned Red and Blue Tech and three
from Doctor Ryan to Matt Rare Mucky Oh,

1182
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:32,479
fall Out two and Boulder's Gate from
Matt Ray Monkeys, Well, some

1183
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:36,840
others that we've had before, but
Fallout to probably another one that we're not

1184
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:41,279
gonna I don't know, I never
I don't. I mean I don't,

1185
01:18:41,319 --> 01:18:45,039
I don't and uh and I haven't
played and beat either of them. I

1186
01:18:45,039 --> 01:18:47,000
think generally people just like fall Out
one more than Fallout too. Maybe I'm

1187
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,600
making that. I know people love
Fallout. I do know that. Yes,

1188
01:18:51,239 --> 01:18:56,439
let's see always be Clothing says I'm
not going to pander to Mike Grimm

1189
01:18:56,439 --> 01:19:00,239
Fan dangle Manati your mistake. I'm
gonna ride the middle Gear Solid band Wagon

1190
01:19:00,319 --> 01:19:03,840
instead. Cast bucerusis acherin of Time
bench Wolf says, gets enter the get

1191
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:08,880
Go would this be the two D
one or is this the first three D

1192
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:14,640
one? I don't know if that
it has to be the I'm assuming it's

1193
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:16,279
three ninety eight. Has to be
incredible. We'll be able to check it

1194
01:19:16,359 --> 01:19:18,600
out soon. We'll be able to
see, first of us, how that

1195
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:23,680
sewed up? Yeah, PlayStation,
that's the first three D one. Let's

1196
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,279
see. I think a long gifts
here. Same Parasite Eve, the actual

1197
01:19:27,319 --> 01:19:30,159
best game of nineteen ninety eight.
Nineteen ninety eight didn't come out in the

1198
01:19:30,199 --> 01:19:33,159
UK, though, and he was
stuck playing Body Harvest. Soh my god.

1199
01:19:33,319 --> 01:19:41,720
Par Parasite Eve is nineteen ninety eight. So was med Medieval Radiant Silver

1200
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:45,319
Gun? WHOA? Is this true? The original Dance Dance Revolution came out

1201
01:19:45,359 --> 01:19:50,199
in nineteen Can we put that on
there in North America? Nine? Okay?

1202
01:19:50,199 --> 01:19:55,720
All right? True? American Dragon
ninety eight says Shining Force three Scenario

1203
01:19:55,800 --> 01:20:00,399
one, Panzer Dragoons, Saga ocherin
of Time, Metal Gear self uh.

1204
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:04,159
Dan Park the Beata says, bravo. I don't know, I don't know

1205
01:20:04,239 --> 01:20:08,840
my letters like that. Hello,
Jeff the Chris Cornell of Gaming grub and

1206
01:20:09,039 --> 01:20:12,640
I'll take it. And Mike the
Donald Duck of gaming. Manady almost certainly

1207
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:16,840
definitely the series that revolutionized fighting gets
its third installment on May first of nine,

1208
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,680
nineteen ninety eight. Was an explosive
for the series needed it's talk about

1209
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:25,399
tech in three. Here's one that
I was gonna say, but I know

1210
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:30,319
it's I'll have much better hope getting
its sequel on to a list like this

1211
01:20:30,359 --> 01:20:33,039
eventually. Jeffren says, my favorite
game this year is definitely Star Wars Rogue

1212
01:20:33,079 --> 01:20:40,279
Squadron, which is very good.
I like Rogue Leaders so much more.

1213
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:44,520
I know, I get, I
mean Rogue Leaders like just so such a

1214
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:49,399
gorgeous looking game will have a shot. Yes, maybe it just wasn't good

1215
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:53,119
enough yet. I remember having a
hard time with Rode Squadron, especially those

1216
01:20:53,159 --> 01:20:56,920
missions where it was like protect this
caravan, yeah, the the guy.

1217
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,359
What are those missions called now?
The blankets missions? Escort missions. Escort

1218
01:21:00,399 --> 01:21:02,640
missions are rough? They were rough. They were rough in that game,

1219
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:08,199
the rough and every game. Gerbear
says Panther Dragon Saga as well. Uh

1220
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,199
yes, and then well you know, says Panther Dragon Saga is genuinely really

1221
01:21:12,199 --> 01:21:15,079
good, and it's shame more people, not not more people played it.

1222
01:21:15,159 --> 01:21:19,119
Still relatively approachable fifteen to twenty hours, at the point where JRPGs were starting

1223
01:21:19,119 --> 01:21:24,279
to become fifty plus hour epics.
Six inch by Darling Warrants I mentioned for

1224
01:21:24,319 --> 01:21:27,000
that name alone. Haven't played it. Looks like one of those Phoenix right

1225
01:21:27,039 --> 01:21:30,039
pervert games. Nice Mega Man legends
in In fact, I'm out in the

1226
01:21:30,119 --> 01:21:35,800
US and nineteen another very good game. Probably doesn't really have a shot here,

1227
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:42,199
I'm afraid. Terryaki Blues says space
Station Silicon Valley never got that one.

1228
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,079
Yeah, I never really even played
it. I never really even tried

1229
01:21:45,079 --> 01:21:47,159
it. I would I would confuse
it with was the other one with the

1230
01:21:47,199 --> 01:21:51,319
funky name back right right? There
was two of them, Yes, yeah,

1231
01:21:51,359 --> 01:21:56,039
the space Station Silicon and Body Harvest, Body Harvest Body Hart Yes,

1232
01:21:56,119 --> 01:22:00,279
and makes those two up constantly.
Uh. Nick Turbo talks about how he

1233
01:22:00,319 --> 01:22:02,199
wasn't born and then he says he
played Banto because we eventually on Xbox three

1234
01:22:02,319 --> 01:22:04,840
sixty and he's like, that's the
top five game in nineteen ninety eight.

1235
01:22:05,239 --> 01:22:10,319
Lenny Cool Diick Denver says, aside
from Acrea Time f zero X deserves it.

1236
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:15,439
Almost here to the end, Edwards
is Bomberman Hero Service Game Tech and

1237
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:20,399
three and two for Bomberman Hero good
On. Edward specifically says the soundtrack alone.

1238
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:27,279
Christian says the King of Fighters ninety
eight. Isaac Clark says a NASCAR

1239
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,760
ninety nine. Christy's just said King
of Fighters date and yell at us for

1240
01:22:31,319 --> 01:22:33,560
uh, you know, be sauce. He knows we're not going to put

1241
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,960
it on there. It's in all
caps, so so he's up. He

1242
01:22:38,039 --> 01:22:43,680
is mad. Okay, yes,
definitely, damn it, thereis. Yeah,

1243
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,279
all right, let's see if there's
anything else worth calling out here.

1244
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:53,079
Eventually, Turboshwan does say, can
you hear humor me for like five seconds?

1245
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:59,119
Mega Man Legends one. That's my
favorite game, at least one in

1246
01:22:59,159 --> 01:23:03,880
the honorable It is very fun.
I likes one, two, three,

1247
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:12,600
four, five, Yeah, okay, Metal Gift, Solid Zelda, Acred

1248
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,239
of Time, Half Life. These
are locks for the top five games in

1249
01:23:15,319 --> 01:23:18,039
nineteen eighty eight on the shortlist.
And let me know if I'm missing anything

1250
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:23,760
Grim Fandego, Banjo, Kazooi,
ten Eighties Snowboarding and Pokemon Red and Blue

1251
01:23:24,359 --> 01:23:28,600
Resonable to f zero x Tech and
three Grant Resmos, StarCraft, Zeno Gears.

1252
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,000
I'm gonna look, Jeff, I
you know I want Griffin thing on

1253
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,199
the list. I don't want them
to be I don't want them. You

1254
01:23:32,319 --> 01:23:35,119
just be like yeah, sure,
and then later when people complain about the

1255
01:23:35,119 --> 01:23:38,039
list, be like, well,
no, no, I'm not gonna be

1256
01:23:38,319 --> 01:23:41,279
okay, Well, Grim fan Diego. One of the first things I think

1257
01:23:41,319 --> 01:23:44,439
I ever heard you say is it's
one of your favorite It's like your favorite

1258
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:45,880
game of all time, and you
have not wavered from that, other than

1259
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:50,399
say, MegaMan three has jumped above
that. You still love Grim bandego is

1260
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,359
going to get a pass on that? You know, I'm not going to

1261
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:57,920
be like, oh, Mike forced
me, I don't. I don't have

1262
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,479
a game like that other than ten
eighties snowboarding on this list and ten eighty

1263
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:04,039
snowboarding. We can go check my
top one hundred. I don't think it

1264
01:24:04,079 --> 01:24:08,359
was in like my top twenty.
Maybe it was in my top thirty and

1265
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:14,880
maybe not even So, yeah,
it's you're gonna get like you're darling on

1266
01:24:15,319 --> 01:24:16,520
a list like this. I think
I would too, but I don't have

1267
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,039
a darling on like that for nineteen
ninety eight. Well, let's okay,

1268
01:24:19,079 --> 01:24:24,039
let's do this. So those those
those three locks let's figure that out and

1269
01:24:24,039 --> 01:24:26,800
then we'll figure out what who's getting
kind of this fifth spot, I guess

1270
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,880
yeah, I might put it first
metal Gear Solid and All Grand Time.

1271
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,840
Let me do that, Okay,
what's the way I said your proposal metal

1272
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:36,880
Gear Solid and a gerend of Time
or what I was like, what do

1273
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:41,920
you think? I uh, you
know again? At the time, it

1274
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,279
would have been ack gerend of time? Easy. These days, I think

1275
01:24:44,319 --> 01:24:48,079
I probably go Metal Gear Solid.
I think Metal Gear Solid is the best

1276
01:24:48,119 --> 01:24:53,000
game of the best year. Well, it's not my favorite game because Pent,

1277
01:24:53,359 --> 01:24:58,880
but Metal Gear Solid is so undeniable
to me. I think, you

1278
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,239
know again, I want to play
that version of the game still whereas A

1279
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,079
Great Time, but like I don't
want to play that in the des't before

1280
01:25:05,159 --> 01:25:10,359
anywhere. I'll played that three DS
version, fine, thank you. Obviously

1281
01:25:11,239 --> 01:25:14,119
All great Time is all great time. It's still a ton of fun,

1282
01:25:14,199 --> 01:25:16,960
even though for some reason I don't
have like this place in my heart for

1283
01:25:17,039 --> 01:25:20,279
it the way I do some of
my other favorite Zola games. It's undeniable.

1284
01:25:20,359 --> 01:25:25,920
It's an undeniable game, and I
will put A Great Time before Half

1285
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,960
Life. I will say I like
Half Life a lot, having replayed Half

1286
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:34,880
Life, that game is definitely strongest
in the first half when you are just

1287
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:40,520
kind of absorbed in a game doing
environmental storytelling for one of the first times

1288
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:44,199
ever, and that's neat. And
then it also what starts off, it

1289
01:25:44,239 --> 01:25:47,720
feels a lot more survival horde,
which is to the game's benefit. And

1290
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,159
then later on it does kind of
just become more of another shooter of the

1291
01:25:51,199 --> 01:25:55,840
time, just a really well made
one. And that's fine. But like

1292
01:25:55,880 --> 01:26:00,359
Half Life does kind of do this, you know, metal You're all at

1293
01:26:00,359 --> 01:26:02,439
an awkward time or just like start
here, and they kind of just maintain

1294
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:10,840
and then they like expand on themselves
in major ways, maybe above Half Life,

1295
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:15,039
but I don't know, maybe we'll
see. I put Ihander on here

1296
01:26:15,119 --> 01:26:16,560
is one b. I don't even
think Einhander came out in nineteen ninety.

1297
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,600
I think that's actually last year.
We forgot to say anything about Ihander,

1298
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:27,319
but we love Look we've been yoda
at about Onhander before. Great game.

1299
01:26:27,399 --> 01:26:30,920
Yeah people, they're wrong, but
oh yeah, yeah, right, that's

1300
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:34,800
the boomer pick, isn't it.
Okay? Yeah, Iander's fantastic. I

1301
01:26:35,119 --> 01:26:39,319
think Metal Gear Solid's gonna be number
one. I think Zelda's is definitely number

1302
01:26:39,359 --> 01:26:45,239
two. Let's put the numbers on
the outside here. Uh, I mean

1303
01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:50,880
if you I would like to move
Half Life down because I think it's seminal

1304
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:55,920
important and not as fun as a
lot of other games on this list.

1305
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:00,279
You have a dangle number three,
half Life number four, and now it

1306
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:09,359
is a number here. Here's my
proposal. Uh, Panther Dragon sag for

1307
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:15,279
number five. No, I really
like it a lot. I think it's

1308
01:27:16,039 --> 01:27:19,520
it's like a no, it's it's
just such a good fun RPG from that

1309
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:23,439
time when so many others are going
in the wrong direction. But well,

1310
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,399
I mean, what do you want
to put up there? Then? Okay,

1311
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,960
so my heart would be Pokemon running
blue. My brain and maybe even

1312
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:35,199
my conscience, my conscious my guilt
says it should probably be Tech of three

1313
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:39,680
or StarCraft. Okay, I can
give you tech in three. I don't

1314
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:42,159
know if I want to just like
put StarCraft on there because we feel bad.

1315
01:27:45,199 --> 01:27:57,319
I don't want to do that number
five joke. A Zoo is also

1316
01:27:57,399 --> 01:28:00,119
in that category. I mean,
I'll let Kazoo if I can get it,

1317
01:28:02,039 --> 01:28:06,079
you'll take it if you can get
it. Yeah, I mean I

1318
01:28:06,119 --> 01:28:11,800
would love to get Pandroo Kazoo on
this list, but tecond three is very

1319
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,520
very very good techot threes. I
mean, you haven't talked a lot about

1320
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,760
like why you don't care much about
StarCraft. I would like to hear a

1321
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:23,119
little bit more. I don't want
on the list. I mean, it's

1322
01:28:23,119 --> 01:28:25,760
just like I said, I was
playing something else at the time, and

1323
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:28,279
I didn't need to like go be
like, oh, well, I'm they'll

1324
01:28:28,319 --> 01:28:30,520
play different arts now. It's like, no, I already had my Command

1325
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:34,119
of Conquerors and and and then yeah, I played StarCraft a little bit,

1326
01:28:34,159 --> 01:28:39,239
and I also I also played StarCraft
sixty four, completely different experience. Although

1327
01:28:39,279 --> 01:28:42,319
I had fun with StarCraft sixty four
playing with friends on split screen that was

1328
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:46,279
stupid and yeah wild, but yeah, I just I don't know at this

1329
01:28:46,319 --> 01:28:49,159
point. It's one of those things. It's like it's appeal has fizzled on

1330
01:28:49,239 --> 01:28:51,479
the overtime and it was never that
appealing to me in the first place.

1331
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:56,319
This is a personal feeling about it. It's not like I am sure lambasting

1332
01:28:56,359 --> 01:29:00,560
the judgment that it's some of course, it's an important big game. These

1333
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:08,239
are all important big games in one
way or another. I mean, difficult,

1334
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,399
I get StarCraft being up there.
It's like, probably was the one

1335
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:14,399
that looks right? Is that what
we're doing here? Though I don't know

1336
01:29:15,359 --> 01:29:18,640
second three can look right also,
I will, I will say, Patrid

1337
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:21,000
dragon Saga would not look right to
me. I would, I would say

1338
01:29:21,039 --> 01:29:23,880
that. Yeah, but I think
it'd be a fun, interesting pick for

1339
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,199
five. I think it adds a
lot. It's it's it's a good spice

1340
01:29:27,239 --> 01:29:30,560
on that list. It is spicy. I will give you that maybe,

1341
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:32,600
but as you know, my crumbs, I can't only hand those too much.

1342
01:29:34,279 --> 01:29:39,800
Pans. Dragon Saga is very it's
very fun. I have some spicy

1343
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:43,640
news that might help you guys a
little here. Yeah. Sure, Linehander

1344
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:45,319
was May fifth, ninety eight in
the US. All right, we're not

1345
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,399
it's not gonna be dying. But
the boomer pick on there, you know

1346
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:57,399
you want? That's right? So
good? It would it's so gay.

1347
01:29:57,359 --> 01:30:04,840
Yeah, people would be so mad
fund the people I had. Hander does

1348
01:30:05,039 --> 01:30:11,800
rule uh tech and three is very
very good. I mean, look,

1349
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,079
I got my Griffin Dango. What
do you want to do, Jeff,

1350
01:30:14,079 --> 01:30:15,399
what do you want to do?
Like I said, I mean, I

1351
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:18,079
want to put Pennady snowburning up there. But that's not gonna happen. So

1352
01:30:18,359 --> 01:30:23,359
I mean, uh yeah, I
even I like, no, like badly

1353
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,319
do you want to put ten eighty
snowboard? I there, real bad,

1354
01:30:26,399 --> 01:30:31,560
that's but it's like I do,
buddy, I do recognize like you get

1355
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:36,520
it though, and were rostabilities there
the way of it is crushing you and

1356
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:40,479
your way I got, we got
we like we can scroll back here,

1357
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:45,079
like, yeah, I don't feel
bad about leaving any of these games off.

1358
01:30:45,279 --> 01:30:51,319
Maybe Neo Sturt Masters Masters looking more
right than Wavey sixty four, like

1359
01:30:51,359 --> 01:30:55,159
that's the like, of course it
doesn't. So I just don't feel bad

1360
01:30:55,159 --> 01:30:57,720
about any of the stuff we left
off here here I put up a ten

1361
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:00,720
eighty, and we're leaving off Bantocerus, we pokeime On, Receival two Tech

1362
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:04,760
and three Grants, Rismo StarCraft,
and Patrick Dragon Saga. And now you're

1363
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,960
now that I read all those other
games, You're right, Patri Dragon Saga

1364
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,840
doesn't sound so right anymore. Did
you think you didn't beat it? Not

1365
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,000
that I know that's been a sort
of subject this week, but I mean,

1366
01:31:15,079 --> 01:31:16,720
yeah, no, I I didn't
beat a lot of these games.

1367
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:21,640
I'd bet Bancho KAZOOI and beat Tenny
snowboarding, and I beat a lot of

1368
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:25,239
these games. Actually, yeah,
you've beat a lot of these games.

1369
01:31:25,279 --> 01:31:28,079
About that one, not that one? Yeah, I just really like it.

1370
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:34,199
I guess most people are beating it
right now. That wasn't meat,

1371
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:40,600
that was me. Uh all right, So you were about to say,

1372
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,079
people and chat, we're saying something. They want to do a poll?

1373
01:31:43,079 --> 01:31:46,000
Why don't we do a poll for
funzies? Uh? Between Like, what

1374
01:31:46,039 --> 01:31:49,319
are we really thinking about here?
Tech and three? Well, you can

1375
01:31:49,399 --> 01:31:51,840
do it? Can we do more
than two in a poll? Yes?

1376
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:56,600
Do tech and three? Ten a
snowboarding and StarCraft? I'm curious. I

1377
01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:00,119
think that's what we're actually thinking about. You. I think it's got to

1378
01:32:00,199 --> 01:32:03,880
be StarCraft or a pole like that. Well, binding, is there anything

1379
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:08,800
else we want to consider? Grand
Tresmo? No? Pokemon? Good?

1380
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:13,119
Uh? I kind of want to
consider Pokemon. I like Pokemon a lot.

1381
01:32:13,279 --> 01:32:17,199
If we put Pokemon on this list, it's gonna win you thinke I

1382
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:24,800
Yes, I guarantee it. Actually, man, want we should just make

1383
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:28,640
Pokemon number five? Actually, I
mean yeah, I mean it's definitely one

1384
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:33,840
that would probably not get much like
ire from people. Look at already,

1385
01:32:34,359 --> 01:32:41,159
that's our goal is the people please, Yeah, that's not would Pokemon Red

1386
01:32:41,199 --> 01:32:45,319
Blues definitely my favorite game of those
four personally, but I already kind of

1387
01:32:45,399 --> 01:32:48,560
want to look I got a big
win here. I don't want to.

1388
01:32:49,239 --> 01:32:54,479
No, I mean, Pokemon Red
and Blues is not going to look out

1389
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:58,319
a place on this list in any
way. Giant, big important deal.

1390
01:32:58,399 --> 01:33:01,000
Man. It's funny because you're right, Pokemon oh got away with it,

1391
01:33:01,039 --> 01:33:04,119
and then like the other ones are
pretty much tied. Although I'm surprised second

1392
01:33:04,159 --> 01:33:09,159
three, which we had been yelled
at about constantly, isn't less places.

1393
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:13,520
Yeah, that's kind of funny,
not fighting game fans. There's they're loud,

1394
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:15,079
but there's not a lot of it. Yeah, they're a loud and

1395
01:33:15,119 --> 01:33:17,640
annoying. And I heard their hygiene
is not great. Yeah they stink.

1396
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:25,159
Yeah, that's the smash players zon't
talk about the rest. I'm probably putting

1397
01:33:25,159 --> 01:33:28,199
Pokemon right and Blue up there.
That actually probably is right. I think

1398
01:33:28,239 --> 01:33:31,079
that's right. Yeah, I think
that'll do it. I mean, it's

1399
01:33:31,119 --> 01:33:34,880
freaking Pokemon Red and Blue, even
though it like came here two years later

1400
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:41,640
than uh. I mean that game
freaking made that the ancient game boy relevant

1401
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:44,800
again. They had to make like
new versions of the Game Boy. Then

1402
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:46,279
we had a game Boy Colors because
this was a hit. We probably had

1403
01:33:46,279 --> 01:33:51,439
a game Boy Advance because this was
a hit. It basically like redirected the

1404
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:58,800
course of Nintendo in gaming history.
Yep. And I when I look at

1405
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:00,399
the list again, it's like as
that and that feels right to me.

1406
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:05,720
That's yeah fine, and yeah this
is this was always gonna be a tough

1407
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:09,720
year to leave leave stuff off.
But it's like, you know, we

1408
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:13,119
weren't even talking up Residual two that
much. Like in that like that,

1409
01:34:13,119 --> 01:34:15,560
that game didn't stand a chance of
making the list, like a lot of

1410
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,520
games weren't going to make the list. So here we are. Let's go

1411
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:24,159
and make some people mad on Twitter. I'll post that right now. There

1412
01:34:24,199 --> 01:34:28,079
we go like this, So for
the audio listeners number one, Metal Gear

1413
01:34:28,159 --> 01:34:30,520
Solid, number two, The Legend
of Zota Okring of Time, number three,

1414
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:34,640
Grim Fin Dango, number four,
Half Life, number five, Pokemon

1415
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:43,319
Red and Low. So yeah,
there you go. That seems right to

1416
01:34:43,359 --> 01:34:45,239
me. I think if you play
all five of those games, you'll have

1417
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:49,239
a good time. Don't worry,
everybody. Venture games got bad after this

1418
01:34:49,399 --> 01:34:55,439
for basic basically forever except for Phoenix
right. So I'm done. I'm done.

1419
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:58,239
I don't but I don't think Phoenix
right. Well maybe Phoenix right.

1420
01:34:58,359 --> 01:35:02,000
Maybe one of them could make a
list once. Maybe there's some really weird,

1421
01:35:02,079 --> 01:35:06,920
oddly bad year. Yeah, exactly. Okay, Uh, that is

1422
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,640
gonna do it for the best year
of nineteen or best games of nineteen ninety

1423
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,079
eight. We're gonna go back.
We're just gonna do nineteen ninety nine next

1424
01:35:13,079 --> 01:35:16,640
time, where it's gonna be Dreamcast
Domination. I'm sure. Yeah, absolutely,

1425
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,920
let's go little Caliber. Mike.
You know what we should do,

1426
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:23,520
and I don't know if we should
we if we should do this on Game

1427
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:26,840
mess or Giant Bomb. Now that
we're getting near the end of the switch,

1428
01:35:27,039 --> 01:35:30,279
we should do the top one hundred
games available to buy on the switch.

1429
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,800
I was thinking something similar. I
think that might be good time.

1430
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:38,680
It could be like an end of
the year sort of right, like that

1431
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:42,800
could be uh, like we take
a week off and we record that the

1432
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,239
week before, and that could be
like a big episode or something like let's

1433
01:35:45,239 --> 01:35:47,680
wait for them to announce the new
which will swowfully happen then we can figure

1434
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:51,079
that out. Sounds good to me, Okay, we're gonna take a quick

1435
01:35:51,119 --> 01:35:54,239
break. When we get back.
We're gonna talk about the games we've been

1436
01:35:54,239 --> 01:36:02,199
playing. And we're back. We're
cold noises, step cold noises. All

1437
01:36:02,279 --> 01:36:05,479
right, Christian, do you put
the like those breaks at the end of

1438
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:10,319
the episode like I used to?
Yeah, I was. I don't listen

1439
01:36:10,359 --> 01:36:12,199
to the back, so I don't
know. But it's cool, al right,

1440
01:36:12,239 --> 01:36:15,119
fantastic. Some people will get to
get the jokes eventually. All right,

1441
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:19,119
Yeah, so Mike, what have
you been playing? Oh gosh,

1442
01:36:19,319 --> 01:36:24,359
lots of things. Been trying to
squeeze in as much Boulder's Gate three time

1443
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:28,239
as I can, which like still
isn't a ton, but it's still that

1444
01:36:28,239 --> 01:36:30,119
that just kind of beginning first,
like several hours. Still a lot of

1445
01:36:30,159 --> 01:36:35,399
fun, really getting your bearings,
discovering more party members. I discovered a

1446
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:41,960
devil mommy, very excited about her. I made some desperate to meet her.

1447
01:36:42,319 --> 01:36:45,680
Yeah he shouldn't be. Yeah,
he has bought for her. I

1448
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:49,520
have my tea right away, like
you got right on. You're there the

1449
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:54,520
warlock and dirt, you're out.
I don't worry about your step if you

1450
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:59,159
happen to step on me. Mistico
accidents happened yeah, and we understand it's

1451
01:36:59,239 --> 01:37:03,479
completely okay, but that game just
continues to just really oppress me with the

1452
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:11,680
depth of the mechanics and it's surprisingly
amazing production values. Really am enjoying it,

1453
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:15,119
kind of beginning to learn a bit
more of the incident outs of combat,

1454
01:37:15,119 --> 01:37:17,760
which I think can be the trickiest
thing here, like the social stuff

1455
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:20,319
you get, like, yeah,
roll a dice and I have modifiers to

1456
01:37:20,319 --> 01:37:24,439
see if I do a conversation.
There's a lot that can go on with

1457
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:28,359
combat, even though at first,
just like a cast a spell, you

1458
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:32,399
know different rules in different like measures
for success, and I'm used to like,

1459
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:36,000
especially early on, you're like,
chances of hitting aren't great a lot

1460
01:37:36,039 --> 01:37:40,399
of the times, like you're miss
you know, I play you can play

1461
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,880
a tactics game. If I'm playing
a firearm boom, you almost don't go

1462
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:45,520
in for the attack unless you know
it's going to work. And here you're

1463
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,319
like, Okay, we're gonna be
a little vulnerable here, but it's probably

1464
01:37:48,319 --> 01:37:51,399
gonna be okay because I can do
this or that and whatnot, so it

1465
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:56,319
all works right, You're gonna it's
like you need to quickly learn about how

1466
01:37:56,359 --> 01:37:58,960
can I get advantage and things like
that, like you think about that,

1467
01:37:59,199 --> 01:38:01,199
you have to think about, well, these characters should try to get high

1468
01:38:01,199 --> 01:38:04,159
ground if they can. And Okay, as much as fun as it is

1469
01:38:04,159 --> 01:38:08,720
to only pick spells with damage numbers
on them, maybe this one that puts

1470
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:13,600
grease everywhere is actually very important,
right, and having a bar it is

1471
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,680
actually a wait, well that can
actually do something. And it's like,

1472
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:17,960
yeah, I did, I can
because my main character is a cleric.

1473
01:38:18,039 --> 01:38:21,239
So you know that that one of
those first party members you get shadow heart,

1474
01:38:21,359 --> 01:38:24,159
right, Yes, she's a clerk
too. I'm like, well,

1475
01:38:24,159 --> 01:38:28,079
this is redundant and I want her
in my party still for reasons. So

1476
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:32,560
I made her assistant. That's very
important. She said one meat thing about

1477
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:38,199
the bigger jerk character. Right,
it's okay to be racist if the one

1478
01:38:38,239 --> 01:38:44,560
person you know like that is the
meeting. I don't. She's old news.

1479
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,439
I like devild momby. She doesn't
see racist at all yet, fantastic,

1480
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:51,399
that's great news. I'm happy for
you about that. Okay, but

1481
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:56,560
I made her I made her a
bard instead, since I okay, so

1482
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:59,239
and that's like, what is what
what does that entail? Like you just

1483
01:38:59,279 --> 01:39:01,439
go in the menu, were no, So there's actually a quest you kind

1484
01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:06,199
of stumble. You stumble upon a
character if you just explore a bit around

1485
01:39:06,239 --> 01:39:10,920
that very starting area, and he
will go to your camp and he will

1486
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:15,359
do things like let you change your
character's class or revive dead party members,

1487
01:39:17,039 --> 01:39:24,359
like here's here's my theory, sir. There's like this backlash towards sex scenes

1488
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:28,159
in movies these days, Like today
I saw a tweet about like I tried

1489
01:39:28,199 --> 01:39:30,520
to watch Oppenheimer with my family and
there's three sex scenes. Oh no,

1490
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:35,600
I have to run away. That's
oh my god. Video games seem to

1491
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:42,960
be like, we'll take care of
it for you. Well, your dick

1492
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,239
hanging out, Yeah exactly, but
yeah, with your options seed dick ye.

1493
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:55,000
This game, this game is proud
and loud and proud about fucking constantly,

1494
01:39:55,359 --> 01:39:59,880
and it is. It's it is
having a queer beneficial effect on its

1495
01:40:00,279 --> 01:40:01,760
sales, and it's excitement that people
have for it. I mean, no

1496
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:06,279
joke, it's the turning point for
people talking about this game, or was

1497
01:40:06,319 --> 01:40:09,760
literally when they showed the bear sex
scene, Like yeah, it's a joke

1498
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:15,640
and it's funny, but it's also
actually incredibly effective marketing. Right, It's

1499
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,479
like, oh, Okay, so
I can bring that sort of fun,

1500
01:40:19,039 --> 01:40:24,800
uh, you know, an archive
of our own sort of fan fiction sex

1501
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:32,000
Nile yes, humor and storytelling and
fun, playful experiences with sex into my

1502
01:40:32,079 --> 01:40:36,439
gaming where it should maybe should have
been for a long time now. But

1503
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:39,640
this game is like, yeah,
we are going to treat it that way

1504
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:43,600
and then we're not going to ever
shame you for it. Absolutely, here

1505
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:45,840
we are and it's it is boy, it's raking in the money and I

1506
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:49,680
think it's a huge part of it. So have you what's been your experience

1507
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:51,399
with that so far? Has it
mostly just been like, oh, this

1508
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:56,000
character's naked or are you fucking everything
that moves? I haven't actually had too

1509
01:40:56,079 --> 01:40:59,279
much of that come up yet.
No one's come on to me as of

1510
01:40:59,319 --> 01:41:02,359
the same moment. It is the
specter there, though, is it like

1511
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:05,119
we know it's possible. Maybe you're
like, are youls thinking about it?

1512
01:41:05,159 --> 01:41:09,640
I don't know, obviously, I
am. I didn't tell you like,

1513
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:13,880
well, I need a shadow shadow
hearted party more so that she can approve

1514
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:16,920
of be here to approve of me, right that some day she approve of

1515
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:19,960
me. That's how it works.
You approve of me so much. That's

1516
01:41:20,039 --> 01:41:25,680
in things happen exactly. Yeah,
it's like, you know something I think

1517
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,239
about. I was like there a
little bit where I like, I was

1518
01:41:28,279 --> 01:41:30,399
like, I'm tired of these these
these sex things in these rspgs are a

1519
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:33,319
little silly. But now I just
think about more like, no, I

1520
01:41:34,279 --> 01:41:39,279
get it. Especially with this level
of animation. It's going to look a

1521
01:41:39,279 --> 01:41:43,279
bit better than the weird like rubber
dolls rubbing a guess each other we had

1522
01:41:43,319 --> 01:41:46,479
in the Mass Effect and Dragon Age
Days, Right, so sure, let's

1523
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:53,439
go for it. My other question
is, uh, what recommend asked this

1524
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:58,279
of Bailey as well, What recommendations
do you have for getting into this game?

1525
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:00,640
Because I am like, I'm always
about to boot it up, but

1526
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:02,680
I have other games I'm trying to
wrap up as well, so I'm not

1527
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:05,640
like rushing into Boulder's Gate three.
But when I have like boot it up,

1528
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:09,800
I'm like, Okay, there is
a lot here and it is a

1529
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:13,479
little bit intimidating. How do I
like limit that stuff? What should I

1530
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:15,720
focus on to like just push through
that those those feelings. What one thing

1531
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:18,920
I really like about this game,
I think you can't play his way is

1532
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:24,279
you do not play it as they
go to your quest log kind of game,

1533
01:42:25,119 --> 01:42:27,319
right, Like maybe I'll look at
a map and it'll tell you like

1534
01:42:27,319 --> 01:42:30,279
it's a quest over there, and
that's okay, But it is so much

1535
01:42:30,319 --> 01:42:33,359
better just to actually kind of wander
around and you are just going to naturally

1536
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:41,319
stumble across interesting things and like important
main quest line things. But just add

1537
01:42:41,399 --> 01:42:44,439
also like if you need a save
scum a bit, especially as you're getting

1538
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:47,119
your bearings, that's completely fine.
F five is quick save, F eight

1539
01:42:47,199 --> 01:42:50,960
is quick load. Baby, let's
go especially combat early on trying to figure

1540
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,840
that stuff out there. You know, you know, the internet's always your

1541
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,359
from these things. There's tons of
people who know better, who understand all

1542
01:42:57,359 --> 01:43:01,640
these games work. Just you know, if you don't understand exactly what you

1543
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:05,720
know battle advantage check is or whatever, like google it real quick and there

1544
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:09,079
will be a thread. You don't
even have to put the words boters Gate

1545
01:43:09,119 --> 01:43:13,079
three in it right now, and
the boters Gate three solution is going to

1546
01:43:13,199 --> 01:43:15,600
come up at the moment and it's
going to be there to help you.

1547
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:20,880
Are you letting the dice lie or
are you saves coming not in a judgment

1548
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:26,359
free zone? No? I So
aside from that first time when I rode

1549
01:43:26,399 --> 01:43:30,720
the one when you needed a two
or better to get shadow Heart in your

1550
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:33,319
party. Aside from that, I've
been laying the dice dice. Lie.

1551
01:43:33,359 --> 01:43:39,279
I did build a character because I
love passing those checks, so like,

1552
01:43:39,359 --> 01:43:42,800
I don't a character that has those
things. Again, Claric has that inherent

1553
01:43:43,279 --> 01:43:45,960
boost to your dice rolls, which
is nice. So I you know,

1554
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:48,439
I've generally am passing as main roles
as I can't race, so I don't

1555
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:51,600
feel much of a need to worry
about that. Christie, you want to

1556
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:56,239
say something, Yeah, this is
like an option in the game. This

1557
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,159
on by default. It's called like
karmatics dice and they yeah, right,

1558
01:44:00,279 --> 01:44:04,239
yeah, the game won't let you
roll like go in the strike back roles,

1559
01:44:04,279 --> 01:44:10,479
so if you like or good roles, yeah, it goes both ways.

1560
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:13,680
Okay, I heard it was both
ways but ros, but I don't

1561
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:16,000
know, right, Yes, it's
early days that the information could be mixed

1562
01:44:16,039 --> 01:44:18,159
up, so maybe it's just bad
roles. I probably won't mess with that

1563
01:44:18,199 --> 01:44:20,600
setting. I'll just keep it on. Whatever they add on. I think

1564
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:24,000
I might turn it off because if
I get a bunch of I think I

1565
01:44:24,039 --> 01:44:26,760
want that opportunity to get a bunch
of bad roles, right, and then

1566
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:31,159
we'll see yeah, then it actually
happens now sign a couple of times,

1567
01:44:31,399 --> 01:44:34,640
we're like, to me, like
a dialogue option seems kind of unclear,

1568
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:38,399
Like in my head, it's presented
as this good thing, and then when

1569
01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:41,479
you play it, it's sort of
like, that's not really how I thought

1570
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:43,960
that was gonna play out. I
thought that I was being nice here and

1571
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,760
it actually my character did. That
seemed to mean then maybe I'll reload something

1572
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:51,800
like okay, like are you f
fibing sa quick saving a lot? Yeah,

1573
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:55,720
yeah, quick saved constantly. Just
I mean, that's just a habit

1574
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,159
with these kind of games that I
like. I'm like, I'm a quick

1575
01:44:58,199 --> 01:45:00,279
saved kind of guy. I like
the that. I think the r thing

1576
01:45:00,319 --> 01:45:03,279
too is get in the habit of
like saying I have three miss to play

1577
01:45:03,359 --> 01:45:06,560
this game. That's okay, I'll
get something done right. That's the other

1578
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:10,479
thing I've heard is like, as
much as it feels like a game that

1579
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:13,600
you want to give all day two
for the first run, like you can't

1580
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:15,920
accomplish interesting stuff in a half an
hour, yep, absolutely, it was

1581
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,319
just like Ada counter that's an accomplishment
Yep. This is a game that I

1582
01:45:19,319 --> 01:45:21,920
feel like I have to play,
so I'm getting excited, and it's just

1583
01:45:23,399 --> 01:45:25,880
part of it is it's just fun
to hear people talking about it already,

1584
01:45:26,039 --> 01:45:30,680
so I'm enjoying that. Anything else
you're playing, Yeah, well, I

1585
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:33,760
talked about playing the Quick two remaster
and thirty x X quite a bit,

1586
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:40,399
but both of those have been really
fun. I'm excited to jump into more

1587
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:44,880
of that. Actually. Yeah,
and then Pickman four still just very very

1588
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:46,560
good. You know what we're talking
about now with that kind of all of

1589
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:50,079
our side campaign, that's kind of
yeah, I did it. Yep.

1590
01:45:50,159 --> 01:45:55,560
It's like I mentioned this on the
bomb cast or somewhere, may might have

1591
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:59,720
been in games moring earlier today.
I looked over and because ADDIE's like,

1592
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:01,000
I want to be playing as this
guy, and she shows me alba bar,

1593
01:46:01,039 --> 01:46:02,760
I'm like, oh, but you
can't. And then I look back

1594
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:05,760
and then I look over and it's
like, wait, that's not the tutorial

1595
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:08,479
where you do with one. I
mean she's playing that as well. What

1596
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:11,479
I oh, it's that that's the
thing I do have that I just didn't

1597
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:13,920
even realize that. It's like you
just go talk to him to start that

1598
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:15,920
campaign, and I was like,
I watched her play a little bit,

1599
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,640
and then I realized that the days
are counting down and she was like ruining

1600
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:20,800
my run. So I'm like,
okay, let me help you a little

1601
01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:23,479
bit. And then I'm like,
no, actually, I'll just wance.

1602
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,000
She's out off here. I'm gonna
restart. So I did that, and

1603
01:46:26,039 --> 01:46:28,840
I did. I got basically what
I like, fixed what she did,

1604
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:30,760
and then did like a day and
then I came back later that night and

1605
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:35,439
I played it through in one big
setting. It is. It's just so

1606
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:40,239
much fun once you get on a
roll with that game, and you know,

1607
01:46:40,279 --> 01:46:45,520
a lot of it comes down to
like like just that that momentum of

1608
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:47,720
being like, Okay, if I
get two today, that means him on

1609
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:50,039
pace. But what if I could
get here, I could set things up

1610
01:46:50,039 --> 01:46:54,920
and maybe I get two today and
they get spaceship parts tomorrow. And it's

1611
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:57,840
like once you get ahead of schedule, that feels so good. And then

1612
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:01,319
I had to get six on the
last day and I had a basically groundhog

1613
01:47:01,399 --> 01:47:04,880
day. That shit I like five
times, like really like to me,

1614
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:11,199
I can do this, and then
I like fun hyper optimizing one day at

1615
01:47:11,199 --> 01:47:15,479
the very end. Yeah, that's
great a lot. So yeah, it

1616
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:17,800
was cool because like I got I
did three in one day, like several

1617
01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:20,439
times in a row, and then
I got to that last place and I

1618
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:24,000
got zero on the first I'm like, oh, I'm screwed. And I

1619
01:47:24,079 --> 01:47:26,319
was like, this is going to
be difficult. But it's like no,

1620
01:47:26,319 --> 01:47:28,439
I think I started working out from
there. But I was like, I'm

1621
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:30,920
glad. I'm glad I built up
all that extra room to help me actually

1622
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:34,039
explore this area. Beat it in
like like twelve days, and it was

1623
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:41,319
it was it's just really really yeah. But I mean your dan Dory is

1624
01:47:41,359 --> 01:47:45,119
maybe better than mine. Well let's
keep in mind I had the experience of

1625
01:47:45,159 --> 01:47:48,079
you saying I thought I was going
to get more time, and and so

1626
01:47:48,119 --> 01:47:50,359
I'm like, okay, I'm keeping
it in my head in a way that

1627
01:47:50,399 --> 01:47:55,119
you probably weren't that like I need
to worry about this right my head that

1628
01:47:55,239 --> 01:47:59,920
like, it's not really fifteen days. So I knew it was really fit

1629
01:48:00,039 --> 01:48:02,880
teen days. So it was like, yes, So I very much encouraged

1630
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:05,520
me to stay on point from the
very beginning. But yeah, it was.

1631
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:11,199
It was a ton of fun,
and I just again to realize especially

1632
01:48:11,239 --> 01:48:14,000
in that mode, I don't really
need to waste time bringing back all of

1633
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,319
these enemies to my base. That's
actually not doing very much for it.

1634
01:48:16,399 --> 01:48:18,479
Right in that mode. It is
a little bit different though, because bringing

1635
01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:23,039
back enemies like sprouts more pickmen.
But once you have enough pickmen, like

1636
01:48:23,119 --> 01:48:25,760
you can only have one hundred out
at a time, right righte eventually,

1637
01:48:26,159 --> 01:48:29,640
so it's like parkium for them,
like or whatever is exactly. So it's

1638
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:30,920
like, yes, you don't want
to waste your time bringing back everything.

1639
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:40,960
Yeah, squeaked by Jill. I
was worried, like I get to do

1640
01:48:41,039 --> 01:48:43,680
this fucking thing again. Oh no, Like I was ready for it,

1641
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:45,319
like whatever, I'll do better,
It'll be fine. I also had the

1642
01:48:45,319 --> 01:48:47,880
advantage of like seeing Addie play through
a little bit of it, like over

1643
01:48:48,039 --> 01:48:50,359
like watch over should and it's like, oh, I see where she's like

1644
01:48:50,399 --> 01:48:54,920
messing up, and take the compliment. Take the compliment. You're good at

1645
01:48:54,960 --> 01:49:00,520
pimmo game. It's a very fun
game. So yeah, it's now I'm

1646
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:04,600
I'm back in there chasing Louie and
it's, uh, that's that's fun as

1647
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:10,039
well. Yeah, a little rascal
out there. I thought I almost all

1648
01:49:10,079 --> 01:49:14,039
the onions I always just assumed Louie
was like supposed to be Alamar's brother,

1649
01:49:14,079 --> 01:49:16,279
by the way, and know nothing
about him except that he was the player

1650
01:49:16,279 --> 01:49:18,720
two at Pickman two. Yeah,
I just assumed, like, well,

1651
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:24,439
that's the Luigi, so that must
Alamar's brother. So totally honestly, if

1652
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:27,000
you would have asked me, like
last year is Louiem, Like yeah,

1653
01:49:27,039 --> 01:49:32,600
I think so, that's not right
almost certain way. Probably, I'm like

1654
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:36,479
the caves near the end of the
game, I think are really like they

1655
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:42,600
keep getting more and more interesting there
gets it's really fun. I once you

1656
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:45,720
go, the dog gets fully upgraded. Yeah, you just sent him in

1657
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:49,800
there and just crush everything. That's
like really useful. When it's like,

1658
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:53,800
okay, I have a whole bunch
of pickmen with me, and yeah,

1659
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:56,399
I could like do that. I
could take the time of like separating them

1660
01:49:56,399 --> 01:49:59,199
into like one little group and then
take the right pickman into there. The

1661
01:49:59,239 --> 01:50:01,119
dog is pretty m immune at this
point to everything. I'll just send him

1662
01:50:01,359 --> 01:50:04,479
in there if he could take on
most enemies so up to a certain size,

1663
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:08,279
and I'll let him do most of
the damage and then we'll come in,

1664
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:10,960
come in and clean it up.
And it's like that's a good strategy,

1665
01:50:11,159 --> 01:50:14,399
and it's nice, especially those night
excursions, because you can just send

1666
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:17,039
him to one of the basses and
he will probably lock it down all on

1667
01:50:17,079 --> 01:50:20,560
his own at a certain point.
Yep, it is uh, it's a

1668
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:24,079
lot of fun. Number two games
of the year still, although a lot

1669
01:50:24,079 --> 01:50:26,720
a lot left to play in terms
of god it's eleven. Oh all right,

1670
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:30,000
let's see the super chests and we
got to do a comp podcast.

1671
01:50:30,039 --> 01:50:33,920
Okay, you hit him? Uh
okay. Chris Harden says, I'm a

1672
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:39,279
your lake. But Hurk's Adventures or
Rules never played much Hurt's Adventures, I

1673
01:50:39,399 --> 01:50:45,479
have to say. Jeff Papa says, just gpt a chance to try out

1674
01:50:45,479 --> 01:50:48,279
Oh, just got a chance that
this is a chat gypt just the type

1675
01:50:48,279 --> 01:50:51,560
of just got a chance to try
out my new eight bit do retro style

1676
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:57,840
any esprature on Super Metroid nso feels
so much better than the stock Bro controller.

1677
01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:01,159
Oh I'm going to be playing super
beretch way to get too, because

1678
01:51:01,199 --> 01:51:04,279
that's the game. Miss King.
Yeah, alright, let's go. That's

1679
01:51:04,319 --> 01:51:09,199
fine, and Serapist Kane says,
did it. Mention nineteen ninety eight boob

1680
01:51:09,279 --> 01:51:15,520
Tattoo game Trespasser that's a game that
I immediately know exactly the magazine ad that

1681
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:19,079
game. But I know the magazine
ad yes to Oh my god, yeah.

1682
01:51:19,079 --> 01:51:23,760
I alright, we'll figure out if
next week we want to do nineteen

1683
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:26,239
ninety nine right away. Maybe we'll
take a break into Amount Rush m or

1684
01:51:26,319 --> 01:51:28,600
Draft or something else. But I
don't know. I've been kind of having

1685
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:30,960
phone with these I wouldn't mind doing
nineteen ninety now. We'll see. We'll

1686
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:31,840
take a break when and when the
time kills right, we'll see. Maybe

1687
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:35,399
that's next week. Maybe not?
All right, Mike, where can people

1688
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:39,880
find you on the internet? Uh? Find me on all the places that

1689
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:45,760
told Koto, Twitch, Twitter,
Blue Sky, all that stuff. I'm

1690
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:49,520
there. Uh. And when you
know giant On, we've been doing some

1691
01:51:49,560 --> 01:51:53,520
stuff in job. But you beat
back, you'd beat to the batman,

1692
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:59,520
So beat the batman. Dan's gonna
be doing the silver campaign if Sonico six

1693
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:03,079
in, which means somehow already my
turn will be up again in a bit.

1694
01:52:03,119 --> 01:52:05,159
I don't I don't know. It
seems like way too fast to me,

1695
01:52:05,199 --> 01:52:08,399
but we're getting there. Hey,
it's your your fault from picking You

1696
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:10,960
did this to yourself. Mike did
this to yourself. I pick in a

1697
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:15,159
short back Batman wasn't That was as
long as the Robecot game. You cheated

1698
01:52:15,159 --> 01:52:17,479
by doing a bunch of two hour
episodes because I had to do an hour

1699
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:19,840
from mysel. I was like,
well, I have to go work now.

1700
01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:26,560
I can't play roebook Cop all day
here. I had to stop everybody.

1701
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:28,199
The first thing played for like two
and a half hours. It was

1702
01:52:28,199 --> 01:52:30,600
like you should stop out and you
were like, oh, we don't have

1703
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:33,680
to. I was two and a
half hours to realize that, Like,

1704
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:39,560
Jeff, I don't work here.
I need a code word for that,

1705
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:42,399
so I can I know because I
lose track of time. Really, Mortal

1706
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:45,159
Combat as well, like we just
kept going, oh, well that was

1707
01:52:45,199 --> 01:52:46,880
fun. Well Mortal Combat was easy
for me to multitest. Oh yeah,

1708
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:49,159
no, no, when you're playing, I get it's different. Yeah,

1709
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:54,600
all right. Uh me, I
am Jeff Grub on Twitch. I think

1710
01:52:54,600 --> 01:52:57,079
I'm gonna stream tomorrow. I always
say, though I have it, that's

1711
01:52:57,119 --> 01:53:01,399
kind of like knowing when you do, because then I won't. God,

1712
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,079
well, here's the thing. It's
like, I might stream to have people

1713
01:53:04,079 --> 01:53:09,319
help me with boulders Gate so I
can. Honestly, I assumed the beginning,

1714
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:13,119
and it was incredibly helpful because they
did tell me a lot of things

1715
01:53:13,199 --> 01:53:15,840
I didn't understand me. Yeah,
because it's like I think, like the

1716
01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:17,199
video game side of it, I
think I could probably get pretty quickly.

1717
01:53:17,239 --> 01:53:21,479
But there's a lot of DN d
uh sort of cruffed. Not a bad

1718
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:25,960
one. There's the way spells work, very excusing. I can't with that

1719
01:53:26,359 --> 01:53:30,079
for sure. Listen to Real Play
podcast a bunch of times. Still don't

1720
01:53:30,079 --> 01:53:31,760
know what a can trip is.
So I'm gonna have just the spells you

1721
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:35,720
can actually always use. Okay,
well that's the can't trips for the use

1722
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:40,359
can trips. Feel good about that. The other one slots Yeah yeah,

1723
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:44,039
the spell slots you are way we
have way less of and you need to

1724
01:53:44,039 --> 01:53:47,199
take a long rest again more.
Yeah, well we'll figure it out all

1725
01:53:47,239 --> 01:53:50,560
out. Why everybody, thanks to
listen to catch you next time, see

1726
01:53:50,560 --> 01:54:18,920
you later. Oh, let's breaking, go Jeff, Let's see each other

1727
01:54:19,039 --> 01:54:26,560
here. Okay, look I'll say
it. There's you should probably have to

1728
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:32,279
see semen at some point. I
am good, Yep, no problem,

1729
01:54:32,279 --> 01:54:35,119
go ahead. Yeah. D d
R five is getting a lot cheaper,

1730
01:54:35,279 --> 01:54:40,720
for sure, that's true. Everything's
getting cheaper because no one's fucking building PCs.

1731
01:54:41,039 --> 01:54:45,079
So that's the that's the biggest recommendation
is you're right to build right now.

1732
01:54:45,359 --> 01:54:47,680
If you've been holding off, go
now, build now before the market

1733
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:54,479
bounces back because everything's on fire sale
basically because no one's buying anything, so

1734
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:58,600
good choice to wait. Yeah,
go full her mentality whatever like most people's

1735
01:54:58,640 --> 01:55:02,720
buying and this world review you want
missed with that, like yeah, like

1736
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:09,039
the what is it the sixties sixty
sixty seven hundred XT or whatever that everyone

1737
01:55:09,079 --> 01:55:12,800
loves. Everyone loves it for a
reason because it's your best bang for your

1738
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,680
buck right now. On the higher
end, I have the Yeah, I

1739
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:18,840
have the sixty seven hundred ext.
The Radiant is pretty good and it works

1740
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:25,520
fine. I can run pretty much
everything like maximum detail everything at an ADP

1741
01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:30,640
and it just works fine. Oh
got the forty ninety Okay, you're good

1742
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:35,800
then yeah, any if anything else
you're building up to that, yes,

1743
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:40,199
exactly, everything's going to be keeping
up with that four years pretty much.

1744
01:55:40,239 --> 01:55:45,600
Like Yeah, if that's the case, you need a big, big PSU,

1745
01:55:46,079 --> 01:55:48,760
so I would I would even go
at least like twelve hundred, not

1746
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:54,079
even a thousand. You want to
go like twelve hundred at least Line is

1747
01:55:54,079 --> 01:55:58,079
doing some testing when that thing,
or when thirty ninety first came out a

1748
01:55:58,159 --> 01:56:00,439
day it was like, yeah,
even if you have more enough voltage run

1749
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:05,199
through this thing, you need even
higher so that power spikes don't cause your

1750
01:56:05,439 --> 01:56:09,359
entire And that's that's the kind of
thing that has happened to me in the

1751
01:56:09,359 --> 01:56:11,279
past. And it's like, oh, man, I thought this was enough,

1752
01:56:11,319 --> 01:56:14,640
but it's not, so I would
just go straight to the fifteen hundred

1753
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:16,000
PSU. It's going to be worth
it in the long run. And it's

1754
01:56:16,039 --> 01:56:18,279
not like, oh, it's prying
a fifteen hundred all the time. So

1755
01:56:18,399 --> 01:56:26,359
power supplies aren't that expensive there,
fairly price yep. And then uh,

1756
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:29,600
just get a decent just get a
decent game at CPU unless you're doing all

1757
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:31,560
the other kind of work. It
doesn't sound like that's the case if you're

1758
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:36,159
doing more skin stuff or like all
right, and then and then get a

1759
01:56:36,159 --> 01:56:40,199
pair with a four K monitor because
if you've got a forty ninety, you

1760
01:56:40,279 --> 01:56:44,479
better have a four K monitor,
yeah, or like an ultrawide or something

1761
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:46,319
done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but more than anything more than two

1762
01:56:46,399 --> 01:56:49,239
K, Like you want more than
two K more than two ok okay,

1763
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:53,920
I'm more than a two K,
more than a two K pixel screen basically

1764
01:56:54,000 --> 01:57:00,239
two K for women two ksp uh
okay, then three fourteen Yeah, fourteen

1765
01:57:00,319 --> 01:57:02,359
forty. What is it like,
there's gonna be a K for that,

1766
01:57:02,439 --> 01:57:06,159
right, people will takenly call it
two K, but they're wrong. Okay,

1767
01:57:06,199 --> 01:57:11,359
Sean is getting real big. Actually
here, everyone calls that two KO,

1768
01:57:11,560 --> 01:57:15,199
calls that. You don't call it
shit? I do? We call

1769
01:57:15,239 --> 01:57:23,119
it you know what we call ad? Yeah, yeah, calls that two

1770
01:57:23,199 --> 01:57:26,960
K the ultra wide. They're just
gonna keep arguing with fourteen forty p.

1771
01:57:27,119 --> 01:57:30,279
That's good. That's that's fine.
If you have a two fourteen forty screens

1772
01:57:30,279 --> 01:57:33,920
that's good as well. Uh okay, I'm sorry someone just putting a naked

1773
01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:38,239
person thing. Yeah, no,
I got it. We're right here.

1774
01:57:38,279 --> 01:57:40,880
I'm just getting to making sure that
we are lined up. You guys,

1775
01:57:40,880 --> 01:57:44,600
they're gonna do a pause for Christian
then get back into that is right.

1776
01:57:45,159 --> 01:57:45,920
No, yeah, I know,
hang on, let me just get everything

1777
01:57:46,199 --> 01:57:54,359
going here. Never enough Okay,
by the way, Benji sent some stuff

1778
01:57:54,359 --> 01:57:56,840
are but we can probably wait for
next week for that. Yeah, we're

1779
01:57:56,840 --> 01:58:00,119
gonna have enough this week. I
think, yeah, thanks so Benji,

1780
01:58:00,199 --> 01:58:03,199
Benji, next we will do that. This is gonna be a blood brother.

1781
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:10,600
Okay, I am ready to go. I'm gonna have a pause and

1782
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:24,199
then bring it back in. Give
me a wet pass. All right,

1783
01:58:24,399 --> 01:58:30,880
there we go? All right?
Who wouldn't think that Mike's the mike ability

1784
01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:38,359
or the lack of ability to like
compromise, was actually a shield of responsibility

1785
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:42,920
for you, chef, like you
didn't have to think about it. That's

1786
01:58:42,960 --> 01:58:46,439
kind of crazy. He was protecting
you. It's not like he was like

1787
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:50,439
imposting his eyes. He's like takes
on you. He was actually protecting you

1788
01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:56,520
from you to think about like getting
like like a number five in this list,

1789
01:58:56,640 --> 01:58:59,079
then know what he's gonna like,
I'm a hero really yeah, if

1790
01:58:59,079 --> 01:59:01,880
you think about it resolutely. I
mean, for me, you know the

1791
01:59:02,079 --> 01:59:06,880
games I feel strongest about number one
and number two, like good like Metal

1792
01:59:08,119 --> 01:59:12,800
Solid all the ogreative time. We're
good there, Matinity Snowboarding obviously, I

1793
01:59:12,880 --> 01:59:15,319
mean I recognize Metal, Gear Solid
and Zelda. After that, it's like,

1794
01:59:15,359 --> 01:59:17,319
oh yeah, let's figure out the
rest of it of this list,

1795
01:59:17,399 --> 01:59:23,760
but those are the games for sure, Harry, jump right back into it.

1796
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:26,520
Jeff I am good to get jump
right back in. Let's do it

1797
01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:30,399
right after this little break of silence. The silence has to be called
