00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,719
It's the Internet. You're busy,
let's do this. Welcome to the Game

2
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,600
Mess Decides Podcast. So this is
the podcast where we decide everything about the

3
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,520
world of games, so you never
have to think for yourself. I'm your

4
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:42,359
host Jeff Grubb and with me is
Hey j Manatti aj Manati. In today's

5
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,359
episode, game passes many tears,
confuse me? Who the fuck is Ameo?

6
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,479
And we're gonna do a draft of
sports games because college Football twenty twenty

7
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,960
five is coming out and I'm getting
pretty excited about that looking forward to it.

8
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,200
But first, Ash guy, how
are you doing. I'm good man.

9
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,920
I just got back from a very
nice vacation for Jessica and I are

10
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,079
having our tenth anniversary at the end
of the month. Well, yeah,

11
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:07,959
we had a little trip to Milton, Delaware and rehob With Beach and then

12
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:11,480
DC. She actually had a work
thing, says kind of let's spawned this

13
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:15,319
trip. So all she did that
I went to the Smithsonian. Ooh,

14
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,920
good deal. Yeah, we we
have that like kind of fall anniversary and

15
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,680
we usually do something because that's also
pretty close to Steph's birthday, so we

16
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,200
kind of bundled that up and take
a trip this year that we're not because

17
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,560
we got Disney coming, so yeah, we kind of can justify a little

18
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,640
bit. So we took a summer
trip instead and we just can't got back

19
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,879
as well. It's a good time, a good time of year to travel.

20
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,719
I think, how was it where
you were at? Was it like

21
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:42,000
really hot and nasty or what?
It was very very hot, But we

22
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,040
had a nice time because we Jessica
turned the first leg of our trip into

23
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,719
like a brewery tour, so I
didn't know it, and like, so

24
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,439
we booked them at Milton, Delaware
is where dogfish Head Brewering is? Is

25
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,079
it really? And I know that
I didn't either until I looked at a

26
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,359
map and I was like, we
have to here. So that freaking rulled.

27
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:07,480
And we found this amazing home old
restaurant called Somewhere on Rehobeth Beach that

28
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,439
had like the best fish crab and
shrimp tacos I've ever had, really good

29
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,840
cocktails. I love finding like little
places like that, like yeah, we

30
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,199
just have That's where we parked the
car to go to the beach, as

31
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:20,680
like, oh, this restaurant's cool, let's go in there. Oh convenient.

32
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,840
It is the other thing that's happening
right now is a lot of different

33
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:29,719
sales on stuff. Steams to summer
sale I think is still happening, if

34
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:32,479
not just ended today, it just
ended, Okay, just ended. Then

35
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:36,280
there's still a lot of other sales. But Prime Days coming up soon,

36
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,080
a lot of things are starting to
go on sale because of that thing included.

37
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:44,080
Do you see, uh, what
game they're given away for free Prime

38
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:49,280
Day? No, what are they
giving away for Prime Day? Suicide Squad?

39
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:53,759
Ah, that's what all it's the
children crave. Finally the suicide squads

40
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:59,280
will be accessible to the many and
the all. Oh boy, that's rough

41
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:01,039
already for that game. Huh right, isn't that like bizarre like that?

42
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,159
Yes, it's I mean I think
just got put through the ringer and here

43
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,159
we are. It's as summers,
so now it's already on its death march.

44
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,120
We were talking before we got started
about some of these EPE dough controllers.

45
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,000
I think I don't know. I
have plenty of controllers, but I

46
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,240
think I wouldn't mind having more APE
dough controllers. I also know that I

47
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,680
think they pronounced it a bit do
and I'm not going to do it.

48
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,960
I was never sure someone said they
had a h a bluetooth speaker from a

49
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000
bit dough that like would say its
name when you turn it on, and

50
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:35,360
those pronounced eight bit do. But
I'm like, even that doesn't fully convince

51
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,360
me, because it's like, well, that's just some like you know,

52
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,439
voice actor in a booth who probably
didn't double check how to say it and

53
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:45,319
doesn't know it's a reference to.
I'm just not gonna do it, though.

54
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:46,319
I don't care even if they say
that's how you pronounced it, it's

55
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,919
a bit dough to me. Yeah, some of these controllers you were pointing

56
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,039
out one hundred dollars golden and silver
controllers. I'm not going to grab one

57
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:58,120
of those, but you know,
even if they weren't wired. Yeah,

58
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,199
yeah, but I could use a
couple more ultimates. I have one for

59
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,319
the switch, one for my PC, and honestly, maybe getting another one

60
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,520
just for the switch might be pretty
good. I don't know you're gonna pick

61
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,120
up anything not right now. I
might come the holidays get some for the

62
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:17,920
kids, because one thing they don't
do with their switches a lot is they

63
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,439
don't dock them. Because we have
a pro controller. But like for the

64
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,160
kids, the whole pairing and unpairing
process of pain. But since it's just

65
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,480
that receiver that's plugged in and so
whatever switches docked connects to this controller,

66
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,480
that would be good. I'm trying
to get them to do that more because

67
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,360
it just kind of spread them around
the house a little better for their Minecraft

68
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:45,000
sessions, which are very intense these
days. She actually, my daughter Livia

69
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:47,439
is complaining her world was getting bugged
because there's too much stuff in it.

70
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,480
Oh really was like that, can
I send my world to Mojing so they

71
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,160
can fix it? I was like, I don't think they do. I

72
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:00,920
can. Phil Spencer fixed my Minecraft
world my daughter just the other night for

73
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:03,759
the first time, and she like
holds up to me while she's doing this.

74
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,759
She's like, I'm gonna try this
and it's roadblocks. I'm like,

75
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:10,519
wait, wait, what's happening why? She's like, I never thought I

76
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:12,879
would try it, but I'm gonna
have the kids in my class always talk

77
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720
about it. I've never been interested, but it's summer, so I'm bored.

78
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,759
I'm gonna try some recreational dangerous games. So the truth, I don't

79
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:27,480
get that game. I truly don't
because there is so much IP infringement that's

80
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,279
not hard to find. I don't
know how they don't get the pants suit

81
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,639
off of them. My son plays
this game that's like a knockoff of Teen

82
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:39,399
Titans with like music from Sonic to
Hedgehog, sound effects from Mega man X.

83
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:43,480
Like, I don't know how it
happens. It's out of the DMCA

84
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,680
where it's like, well, no, a user uploaded that, so if

85
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,720
you ask us to take it down, we'll take it down. But otherwise,

86
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,639
I mean, who could say what's
happening inside the game? Right?

87
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:55,040
Yeah, it's it's really strict.
I mean, we've seen some companies be

88
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,480
a little bit more proactive about that, but that's when it comes to like

89
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,519
certain companies that are known to sue. So I wonder if Roadblocks is a

90
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:04,240
little bit more on on the ball. If there's like a lot of Nintendo

91
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,600
stuff says so much Mario stuff in
there, right, that probably does get

92
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:12,480
a squashed. They don't don't want
to draw the eye of sore on there.

93
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,879
All right, you know what,
let's go ahead and say thank you

all of our shows AD free. All

109
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,839
right, aj, I have some
news from the past week I want to

110
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:15,279
discuss with you. Are you prepared, I mean I prepared as I'll ever

111
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,399
be. All right, let's hop
into it. Microsoft is making significant changes

112
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:24,879
to Xbox Game Pass introducing a new
tier and implementing price increases and shifting things

113
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,480
around. Basically, it is kind
of a rebrand, a kind of setting

114
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,120
things up for the future, setting
things up for call of duty, kind

115
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,199
of taking advantage of maybe the tail
end of hyperinflation where they can get away

116
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,839
with another price increase while they can. There's a lot of factors at play

117
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:47,680
here, but the bottom line is
game Pass Ultimate, unchanged in terms of

118
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,560
features, will now be twenty dollars
per month instead of what was it before,

119
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,920
eighteen dollars per month seventeen ninety nine. There is a new standard tier

120
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,839
which will be fifteen dollars per month. This includes the Xbox of Back Catalog

121
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
and Xbox Live Gold, but it
does not include day one games or cloud

122
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:13,399
gaming. Then that's going to launch
in September twenty twenty four, and there

123
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:18,199
is now I think the core tier
will be eleven dollars per month or something

124
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,000
like that, basically, though day
one games are no longer part of standard

125
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,839
tier. This new thing. If
you have Xbox game Pass console right now

126
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:30,839
and you keep it, I think
that will also be fifteen dollars per month

127
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,399
or something like that, but that
will continue to include day one games.

128
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:39,159
So as long as you don't cancel
your grandfathered in but new users that does

129
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,840
not include online multiplayer, right exactly, So you have a reason to go

130
00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:48,159
up to Ultimate still for sure.
Yes, And to be fair, most

131
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,519
people already have Ultimate, Like there's
very little reason to know there's reasons to

132
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,080
have game Pass console without Xbox Live
Gold, but there's not a lot of

133
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,519
reasons. So many of those games
do require Xbox Live Gold to get the

134
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,240
most out of them at the very
least, and with Call of Duty coming

135
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,559
up, that's definitely going to require
So it's it's a strange set of things

136
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,120
that when you look at it kind
of closely, it's it can feel,

137
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:15,200
I think a little bit more confusing
than what it is. When you step

138
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,639
back, you kind of you see
what's happening here. It is them trying

139
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,799
to get away with the price increases
that they can before Call Duty comes out,

140
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:26,919
and trying to set up a future
where game Pass is still an option,

141
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:31,159
still something that people want, but
will not necessarily be this thing where

142
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,960
it's like, oh no, just
ten dollars per month and you get every

143
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,679
game that we released day one.
That's not the truth anymore. They've completely

144
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:41,759
changed that. How did you view
all this when it went down? Insane?

145
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,720
I think this proves game Pass wasn't
working. The fact that they have

146
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:56,000
stepped away from the blanket day one
game concept proves that that was not viable

147
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:01,080
anymore. That people were playing out
the game pass core was like, oh,

148
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,919
that already didn't include day one games, but that was just a renamed

149
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,879
Xbox game Pass corey. It was
just which again was also a bad idea.

150
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,039
Xbox Live Gold was like, it's
like changing Twitter to x You had

151
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:16,600
something recognizable, everyone knew what it
meant, and you changed the name to

152
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,080
something more confusing. Because game pass
never meant playing online. It always meant

153
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,480
a library, and now it's suddenly
meant both the kind of and like,

154
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,720
core is not an intuitive word?
Was core mean? Standard? Also isn't

155
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:35,799
very helpful either. It should be
called like Xbox game Pass library would be

156
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:37,159
a better word, or something like
that, you know. I think it's

157
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:41,360
also illustrative though, right because the
standard is no longer games in game Pass

158
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,279
or day one games in game Pass
like that, you can't say that's the

159
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,759
standard future of game Pass anymore when
it's not in the standard tier. But

160
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:54,200
that's insane because a month ago we
just had this universally adored showcase, and

161
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,519
how many of those trailers ended with
played day one on game Pass. Yeah,

162
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,720
that's just not true anymore. It's
just not true. Yeah, and

163
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:07,960
it could be played day one with
game Pass Ultimate, Like, is that

164
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,720
going to be the new voice line? Yes, yes, it will be,

165
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,480
Yes will be. Uh that's interesting. I want I want to go

166
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:18,159
back because I at the time,
I do remember feeling that it's like,

167
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,000
sure, they're mentioned in game Pass, but it's like it feels a little

168
00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:26,000
bit more subdued than they've done in
the past. I remember feeling that I

169
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,240
don't know exactly what that is.
I'd have to go back and watch that

170
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,000
show. But now I'm curious,
like how they actually mentioned game Pass in

171
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:35,600
that? Did they just flash playable
with game Pass and they had the Ultimate

172
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,799
on there? So I don't think
it had Ultimate And I'll pull them on

173
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:41,720
something up. Take a look.
Now. What I think is telling though,

174
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,399
is PC game Pass, which is
getting a price increase, right,

175
00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:50,320
I think it's twelve dollars per month
when it was ten dollars per month.

176
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:54,159
Yes, but it is still keeping
day one games. Yes, makes me

177
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,480
wonder is their growth opportunity there that
they see that they want to keep that

178
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,519
enticing. Yes, they are still
in the gathering phase on PC because I

179
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:11,480
think they see untapped opportunities for growth, like say game Pass on Steam something

180
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,879
like that, where that makes sense. I mean like other things dropped from

181
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:18,399
Standard was like EA play like they
are trying to They're like taking features away.

182
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,600
You know, sure, it's a
new tier, so it's like you

183
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:24,679
technically are not taking anything away.
This is a new offering quote unquote,

184
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:26,480
but we know what's happening here.
When you move the prices around, you

185
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,519
could have put your paying the same
for less or you're paying more to try

186
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:33,759
to get the same. Like,
yes, what was happened What has happened

187
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:37,440
here is pretty clear, so so
real quick. So like I just pulled

188
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:41,879
at the Xbox Showcase. I went
to the end of the Doom the Dark

189
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:48,399
Ages trailer and there's the logo coming
twenty twenty five two game Pass Xbox Series

190
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,360
xs PC. Yep, Like they
just say game Pass, it'll come to

191
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,279
game Pass eventually, right now.
That's that's the other thing. People are

192
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,879
like, well, when will it
come to game Pass Standard? In that

193
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:07,120
back catalog, and it's Microsoft's favorite
phrase, case by case basis, you

194
00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:09,960
know, could be six months,
a year, or longer than a year

195
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,159
in some cases. I think they
were asked and they said it would be

196
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,200
case by case. Yeah, I
get here here South of Midnight. It

197
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,879
ends with a big green splash screen
and it says played day one with Game

198
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:26,000
Pass. Now, to be like
fully clear, this stuff had been rumored.

199
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,159
I've been hearing the rumors of this
stuff going back well before E three

200
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,519
or some summer game fest. So
this is not something where it's like,

201
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,559
well, since then they decided to
make some changes. They knew these changes

202
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,279
were coming, So when they were
saying when they were flashing Game Pass on

203
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,240
the screen there, they knew that
this would be happening before Call of Duty.

204
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,480
So which makes it worse. I
feel like a little bit of a

205
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,039
mat and switch. Yeah, a
little bit, Yeah, definitely. It's

206
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,480
like they knew it was coming and
they had one show kind of built on

207
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,679
a reality that would no longer be
the case by the time the vast majority

208
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,919
of these games came out. In
fact, pretty much all those games.

209
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Here's why I find so odd still
about Game Pass Ultimate in particular, because

210
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,159
there's three reasons upgrade to Ultimate.
Either you have an Xbox and a gaming

211
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,960
PC. In the past it was
you had game Pass and you want an

212
00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:16,799
Xbox Life Goal that's how you got
both. Or you want cloud streaming.

213
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:26,240
I find the stagnation of their cloud
streaming very perplexing. Since twenty twenty two,

214
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:31,000
at least, we have not gotten
much progress in that as a service.

215
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:37,480
They just released the whole firestick app, which only works on the twenty

216
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:39,200
twenty three and newer fire sticks.
I have a twenty twenty two one,

217
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,799
so I couldn't even use this if
I wanted to. They talked about in

218
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,320
twenty twenty two how you were going
to get access to your full game catalog

219
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:52,320
on streaming, not just games in
the game Pass library. They completely went

220
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:56,759
silent on that. Yeah, I
always wonder about that. That still has

221
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,559
not happened, and they haven't said
anything about it. Right, supposedly I

222
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,840
was. I responded to a thread
from Tom Warren and someone in the comments

223
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:11,360
screenshoted where some just dude in March
said something Phil Spencer, and he said,

224
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,799
that's coming soon, But like that's
the only thing I've ever heard of

225
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:18,799
it Against this twenty twenty two because
I always have like a like NHL on

226
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,559
the console, and I always want
to be able to stream it to my

227
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,600
stuff. Well, you know,
like even like you know, you're playing

228
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,559
a game of game Pass. Ultimately, okay, it's leaving the service.

229
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:26,840
Okay, you could buy it at
a discount, great, but if I'm

230
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,519
streaming it, I don't have anywhere
to play it after I buy it,

231
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:35,000
which is odd. Plus it's still
ten ADP. They haven't anything to upgrade

232
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,159
it to four K. You're still
playing the Series S version of a game,

233
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,759
which they used to say didn't matter, but now, to use Starfield

234
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:45,639
as an example, the Series S
version is thirty FPS. The Series X

235
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,480
version can go up to sixty so
there is reason to want that, you

236
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:54,039
know, hardware upgrades, so to
speak. I don't understand why they had

237
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,320
all this momentum and kind of build
going off that service for years and then

238
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:03,080
just stop. I think it still
says beta, right probably, I mean,

239
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:08,440
yeah, I get it to a
certain extent with like the stagnation,

240
00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:14,440
because it's got to be expensive to
update and maintain those data centers because like

241
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:18,799
what they say is every single time
you are logging into the Xbox cloud.

242
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,799
You are tapping into an Xbox in
one of these blades one of these nodes,

243
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:29,240
and you're playing on a shoot Xbox
that's just sitting somewhere, and so

244
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:33,799
like, you know, those things
need to be maintained and taken care of

245
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,519
and probably replaced relatively frequently. I
would imagine, I'm not like every week

246
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,519
or something like that, but every
couple of years. And it seems expensive.

247
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,440
And I think the the evidence of
that is, like, it doesn't

248
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480
feel like they're investing a ton because
they're probably not seeing a ton of return

249
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:55,759
on that investment because very few people
are probably using the service thing. Right,

250
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,559
Yes, it takes forever for the
games to load, so I try

251
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,919
it to be like how is this. I maybe let one of the games

252
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920
load, and I kind of pull
my hair out a little bit while waiting,

253
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:07,000
and then I give up because it's
not a great experience. And then

254
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,759
and I have something to compare it
to, because I have used Nvidia g

255
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,160
Force now a handful of times,
and that works way better, way better.

256
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,559
It's not as great as it once
was. There was that magical time

257
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,880
early in the in video shield days
where I could play anything from my Steam

258
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,880
library through a g Force now that
was pretty incredible. They got rid of

259
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,279
that real fast after some companies complained, but it's still like there's a lot

260
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:30,880
of games that do support it and
work really well on there. Yeah,

261
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:36,759
GFN covers like ninety percent of the
games I wanted to right now, especially

262
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:41,160
I mean like World of warcrafts on
there. If they got Final Fantasy fourteen

263
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,160
on, it'd be incredible. That's
like one thing I'm like missing. But

264
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,519
there was that, wasn't there,
Like some rumor, I don't know whatever

265
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:51,480
came of it that like it looked
like they were testing g Force now in

266
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,240
integration into Xbox. But maybe that
might have been like a face. That's

267
00:17:55,279 --> 00:18:00,839
definitely something that's still in the rumor
mill that Steam might come to Xbox or

268
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,960
the next Xbox or something like that. I don't know. I think I

269
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,279
think the next Xbox is going to
look very different and we'll see what that

270
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:10,440
looks like. But in the meantime, game Pass, what do you think

271
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:14,079
really went wrong here? Because again
I don't think this is the death of

272
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,759
game Pass. It's not what I'm
saying, but it's clear the game Pass

273
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,400
is not the platform the way it
felt like it was once going to be

274
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,039
So what went wrong? Well,
I think the problem is they had this

275
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:30,119
number they wanted to hit, but
to hit that number, you ultimately needed

276
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,720
a greater penetration of the console on
the market. You were always going to

277
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,759
have a certain attach rate, and
I think they hit that ceiling. Yeah,

278
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,359
and they just couldn't get enough Xboxes
out there, which I think is

279
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,240
proved in their kind of push to
PC and how that has more features,

280
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,480
and you know that's part of ultimate
Maybe that's how they're going to try to

281
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:52,000
push these numbers up ultimately for the
cash flow aspect of it. But I

282
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,480
think they just kind of really hit
the ceiling on the number of the Xbox

283
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,799
Console subscribers they were ever going to
hit. The other thing that's to is

284
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:07,160
they tested a family plan in what
Ireland and somewhere else, New People Country

285
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,920
and they killed it and it never
expanded. And I really don't get that

286
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:18,720
either. Because here's another thing where
I have an Xbox Series A S that

287
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:21,920
the kids use. I have that
set as the home console, so they

288
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,519
have access to my full library.
They have access to multiplayer features through my

289
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:30,319
subscription, but they can't cloud stream
if they're signed in and I'm not,

290
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,359
and they can't cloudstream on their iPads. For example, if they put out

291
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,559
twenty five thirty dollars a month for
Xbox Ultimate Family, I absolutely would shout

292
00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:44,960
out for that because I think they
had kids, like you don't have to

293
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,799
fight for the TV anymore. You
could stream to your iPad for them.

294
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:51,799
That would probably be good enough.
There's no way in God's green Earth I'm

295
00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:56,000
going to get four separate Game Pass
Ultimate subscriptions. They're just gonna have to

296
00:19:56,039 --> 00:20:00,599
make do with BAC not YEP.
And I always pointed to like, typically

297
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,200
there is going to be like in
a orbit of like five gamers, there's

298
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,000
going to be one person that is
like the spearhead that's like, Hey,

299
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:11,119
I want to go. I want
to get us this thing so we can

300
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,240
all play together. What if I
just did the family plan and you all

301
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:15,559
can pay me a certain amount a
month, and then those people always forget

302
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,200
to pay and the person's like,
whatever, I'll just keep paying like that.

303
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,240
There is a lot of people out
there like that that would this would

304
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,079
capitalize on that, but I think
they are like, you know, someone

305
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,400
chat says that they think that that
game Pass is working and that they're raising

306
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,039
the price because it's working. And
I don't fully get that because we kind

307
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,160
of we know what's happening here is
that they haven't grown game Pass in terms

308
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,720
of raw number of users in the
last year and a half at the very

309
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:45,119
least. And that's not just according
to guessing. That's like analysts looking at

310
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,960
things and Microsoft sort of not talking
around things. And they're raising the price

311
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:53,880
in the way that some of these
other companies that have movie streaming services raise

312
00:20:53,920 --> 00:21:00,799
companies after they had like two hundred
million users or three hundred million users and

313
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:06,759
Xbox game Pass has thirty million users. If that and if they were still

314
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:11,079
trying to grow and gather the users, they would be keeping they would be

315
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,519
adding features, they'd be adding bullet
points, they would be aggressive on pricing.

316
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:17,680
And it's like, no, they're
not doing that. So they are

317
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,000
shifting to raising prices and moving around
features so they can get the most money

318
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,920
from the same people. So I
mean, if if game Pass is working

319
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,559
in terms of they're going to like
keep it and keep charging the people that

320
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,720
have a subscription to it, more
sure that if that's what working means,

321
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,720
But working in terms of being the
key thing that is the future of their

322
00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:41,440
growth, it is obviously not that. Well, here's what's very calculated about

323
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,160
the whole thing to me. So
PC game Pass and game Pass Altman each

324
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,839
have gone up two bucks a month. That's enough for me to be like,

325
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,640
that's annoying, Yes, but I
can swing two bucks a month five

326
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,079
bucks a month. That's when people
are like, do I need this?

327
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,319
Maybe I'll just cancel it. So
that's calculated. On the console side,

328
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,680
Hey, you have that good subscription
where you get those games day one,

329
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:07,599
better not cancel it ever, or
you're going to lose that. Yep,

330
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,960
because that, like I said,
that's hit the ceiling. They're not going

331
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:12,319
to grow it. They need to
keep what they have. I mean,

332
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,319
think about the time their retention tactic. Yeah, think about the timing,

333
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,920
Like what was happening three years ago. Everyone was doing the one dollar deal

334
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:25,960
and converting three years of Xbox Live
Gold into three years of game Pass,

335
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,920
and now all those people are coming
up to the point where it's like,

336
00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:32,559
oh, that is starting to run
out and I'm gonna have to start paying.

337
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:34,759
And guess the fuck what if you
want to keep that shit, You're

338
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:37,799
gonna have to keep paying now Again, they many of those people have probably

339
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,400
upgraded to Xbox or Game Pass Ultimate, sure, and they don't have to

340
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,599
keep it. But those are also
going to be the most loyal people,

341
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:48,920
and they are trying to get the
most money from the most loyal people because

342
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,359
that is their one option in the
in the moment, and they don't really

343
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,359
have the luxury of waiting around and
hoping they find some way to make more

344
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,920
money down the road. They got
to be making money now. I don't

345
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,039
think this is all doom and gloom
across the board, because this is like

346
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,720
a pretty common problem across the industry
right now. I think we look at

347
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:12,640
the price increases that Sony did a
few months years when was the PlayStation Network,

348
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,599
like reworking. When they did that, that was about making more money

349
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:19,319
from the same people as well.
Raising game prices was about making more money

350
00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:22,039
from the same people as well.
There's going to be a PS five pro

351
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,480
coming out probably this holiday still wildly
when that comes out, that's about making

352
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:30,960
more money from the same people.
Once again. This is just how this

353
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,720
industry is working right now. It
feels cynical and kind of annoying and like

354
00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,079
nickel and diming, and I'm kind
of getting over a little bit and it's

355
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:40,759
pushing continues to push me more towards
PC. But that's me, not everyone's

356
00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:44,319
going to feel that. I don't
know. I kind of hope we get

357
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,880
to a point where I was.
I was getting food for the kids tonight,

358
00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:51,799
Ash Guy and I went to Arby's
and they had the two for six

359
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,640
deal, the two for six deals
back. I got two classic roast beefs

360
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,599
for six dollars. Those things like
normally are like almost six dollars by themselves.

361
00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:00,720
Like one of those things, I'm
like, oh my god, there's

362
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:04,880
a deal at a fast food restaurant. I haven't seen that in literally years.

363
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:07,880
And it's like, oh okay,
the like things are starting to like

364
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,759
pull back a little bit at least
on that side of things that when you

365
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,799
go to like a fast food restaurant, everybody has a five dollars deal.

366
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:18,200
Now McDonald's has one, right,
AMC has one, Like like I feel

367
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,559
like that bubble has versed. The
fast food price gouging finally hit ahead where

368
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:26,640
they were losing revenue because so many
people were just not going exactly so,

369
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:30,240
and I think gaming is looking around
being like, oh shit, we're going

370
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:33,079
to be there real fast. We're
going to have to start offering more deals,

371
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,759
so we need to make the price
increases that we want to make right

372
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:41,039
now. We have to reset expectations
before Call of Duty comes out, before

373
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:45,200
pricing, like before price conscious gamers
really become the norm and the majority,

374
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,720
and then very soon I'm hoping.
It seems like these companies are gonna have

375
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:53,680
to start like bouncing back and offering
better deals, and that will probably be

376
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,079
what it looks like in twenty twenty
five. But in the meantime, Microsoft

377
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,519
trying to get away with whatever you
can get away with, just like all

378
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:03,279
these companies are. It's not some
Microsoft specific specific thing. If that bothers

379
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:07,039
you to hear that. I just
feel like they could have done this and

380
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:10,079
made it a lot clearer. It's
so confusing. Maybe that's by design,

381
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,319
Maybe they want it to be confusing, right. I just hope you'll just

382
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,039
pay the twenty two bucks a month
and be done with it. Yeah,

383
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,839
I mean I can tell you,
like, because my sort of proclivity,

384
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:23,920
my like sort of knee jerk thing
here would be boy, that's a fucking

385
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,920
mess. If I want this whatever, I'll just do the twenty dollars per

386
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,599
month. Here's here, Just give
me ultimate because that just gets me everything,

387
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,960
right, and of course it gets
you everything, and it's all right,

388
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,039
whatever, twenty bucks per month.
I don't even I don't even want

389
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:37,319
to look at the rest those options
because that just gives me a headache.

390
00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:41,359
That's probably by design to a certain
extent. I don't know if that necessarily

391
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,359
feels great though, because you know, we talk about the medium popcorn thing

392
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,839
all the time. That's not confusing, right, So twenty five cents more

393
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,559
for a large and you're just thinking
about what a good deal to is just

394
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,440
pake twenty five cents more when it's
like, well, the fucking the'll thing

395
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,000
still cost twelve dollars. What are
you talking about? That is simple and

396
00:25:56,039 --> 00:26:00,799
this is no longer that. So
yeah, we'll see. I bet we

397
00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:03,839
do get on the other side of
this, and they do have to start

398
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,680
offering deals again, and I bet
they simplify things again in the next like

399
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:11,680
two years in some way. But
what does that look like. I don't

400
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,119
know. There's still a world where
they get rid of Xbox Live Gold or

401
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:21,440
you know, the remnants of that, and do offer free online because you

402
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,480
know the rumor of Steam coming to
Xbox. They're not going to force you

403
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:29,240
use or Xbox Live Gold to play
Steam on on Xbox, are they?

404
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:33,160
If that's how it works. Nane
also like, why at this point you

405
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,240
don't want barriers to playing games on
your system. We're so past that as

406
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:42,880
a as a consumption society. Anything
that causes friction is just a bail point.

407
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:49,079
Yep. All right. There was
a weird trailer uploaded in Nintendo's YouTube

408
00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:56,079
channel that was scoe. It was
very who is it, Jeff tell me?

409
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,000
It was a man standing in a
field I don't know, and he

410
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,960
was wearing a bag on his set
of paper bag and that had a smiley

411
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,400
face drawn on it. And his
name is Emo Meo something like that,

412
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,680
and apparently in Japanese it means like
smiley faced man. I think I think

413
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,720
that's what it is. Either way, we have very few details other than

414
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:23,000
the game e Meo or Or has
apparently been rated in several territories and is

415
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,920
m rated by the ESRB and like, you know, the highest rating by

416
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,359
the Peggy and all that stuff,
or you know, not the adults only

417
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,599
rating, but the one below that, and that's all kind of all we

418
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,799
know. There was rumors maybe it
was made by Blue Bird. Doesn't seem

419
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:40,400
like it's made by Blueber. Actually, when people looked a little bit closer,

420
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,680
it's like Blueber's game wouldn't be coming
so fast that they're working on with

421
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:48,039
Nintendo apparently. Uh, what do
you make of this? Ash guy?

422
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,880
No, I don't know. It's
it came really out of nowhere. Yeah,

423
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:59,720
I mean Nintendo has dabbled with scary
games. I mean, guessarkness,

424
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,799
you'd have to go back to they
they they have did they publish the Fatal

425
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:07,039
Frame games? And at some point
they published some Fatal Frame games, right,

426
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,960
So I mean it's not uncharted territory. I guess it's just uh,

427
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,559
it's a it's a weird teaser to
drop out of nowhere with very little information

428
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,039
around it. Yes, it is. Uh, it's strange in a lot

429
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:22,200
of ways. I'll say, if
I can bring the trailer up for people

430
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,359
who are watching along with us,
I'll turn on volumes. Sorry that you

431
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,680
probably heard a click there, but
let's go loop that there we go,

432
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,920
Yeah, it is, it's it's
weird. Yeah, the man standing in

433
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,000
a room, it's a fifteen second
trailer. You see his hand flash,

434
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,119
right, then there's that the kanji
and I hit the kanji is what says

435
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,559
like smiley face man or something like
that. Yeah, Nintendo has done M

436
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,720
rated games before, but they've done
I think like fewer than ten something like

437
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:55,039
that. It's they're not even in
double digits yet. But we're at the

438
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,960
end of the switch and they do
tend to get a little bit strange at

439
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,559
the end of their consoles, So
maybe this is going to be an example

440
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:03,200
of that. At the very least, I think they're doing a good job

441
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,519
of like getting people interested in this. I mean, this trailer has four

442
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:11,400
hundred and forty thousand views since yesterday. You know, it's not massive,

443
00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:15,839
but that's pretty big by the standards
of a random trailer on the Nintendo channel.

444
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,400
Some of those, like you know, some of them will have like

445
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:23,119
tens of thousands of views. If
at best, when do you think we

446
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,200
hear about this? Is this going
to be a long drawn out thing?

447
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,000
Ah, maybe it comes back in
the fall if we get like a fall

448
00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:34,799
direct, because we just had our
summer direct. Maybe this is going to

449
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,559
be some sort of switch to project. And that's why they're being vague about

450
00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:44,720
it, so it wouldn't surprise me
if we don't hear about the sand for

451
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,160
a very long time. Yeah.
At the same time, like, I

452
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,920
don't think they're going to do like
a million teasers or something like that.

453
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,599
I think a way, yes,
they if it takes a long time,

454
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:59,079
it'll just go away. And then
if if there is more to it than

455
00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:02,920
that, then I think they'll probably
just have something really quick and maybe we'll

456
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,279
find out about it, like hopefully
by like next week or something. But

457
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:08,839
you're right this it could just disappear
and we'll see maybe never hear about it

458
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:15,079
until it actually gets announced for real. It's some other direct Yeah. In

459
00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,640
the meantime, we'll be keeping our
ears open for emeo emeo. I'm gonna

460
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:25,319
say, Melio estabez so bad and
then here I'll click here it is right

461
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:30,079
here. Game Boy Advance Update for
July twenty twenty four. Nintendo Switch Online

462
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:37,920
Starfie has been added to Nintendo Switch
Online Expansion Pass. Starfie. I don't

463
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,920
think I ever played a Starfie.
I always thought they looked cute and cool,

464
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:45,000
but I never played that. There's
three of them. Yeah, there's

465
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,119
several starfeet. I've never played any
of these. I always thought they looked

466
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,319
cool, but I never heard anybody
talk about it much. Did they are?

467
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,519
Like all the words here in Japanese. Do these games come out in

468
00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:00,880
North America? Maybe not Japan.
Only games that are being released in their

469
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:06,880
original Japanese on the English service.
Okay, very cool, Yes, I'll

470
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,799
read it what it says here,
dive into a trio of colorful action games

471
00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:14,759
starring Starfie, the legendary star shaped
hero in didn't sets, you know,

472
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,240
Starfee didn't set? You know Starfe's
two and then sets you know starfe three.

473
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,759
Previously only available in Japan, these
titles are joining the Game Boy Advance

474
00:31:22,039 --> 00:31:26,680
Nintendo Switch Online library and are available
for all Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack

475
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:33,880
members to play starting today. That
fucking cool star drinking a margarita at the

476
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,680
beach. Hell yeah, yeah,
this is cool. They've been like keeping

477
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:41,119
up a little bit of a pace
of these releases for Game Boy Advance,

478
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:48,559
So I feel pretty interesting. Heard
it least I'll check them out. That's

479
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:53,160
pretty cool. All right, let's
see anything else. Let me get the

480
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,599
other camera back. You know you
gotta play that Planet coaster to make a

481
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,160
water park. I did see that. That looks pretty fun. I might.

482
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,160
I don't know. I've been in
the mood for something like that.

483
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,759
Maybe this is the one I should
go play. Uh yeah, finally,

484
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,519
very good trailers. So I like
their trailers a lot, right, absolutely,

485
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,359
all right, you know we should
do. Let's take a quick break

486
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:16,200
when we come back, let's get
into some of the super chats. Right,

487
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:22,720
all right, we are back,
and as promised, we're gonna get

488
00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:25,400
to your super chats as guy,
believe you have those in front of you.

489
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,400
Could you read those for me?
I can thank you? All right.

490
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:34,400
Cody Bishop starts us off the messaging
play at Day one on Game Pass

491
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,720
with such a simple pitch. It's
baffling that they threw set that simple messaging

492
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,559
away for this convoluted mess Like I
said, I guess it just becomes play

493
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:46,960
at Day one on Game Pass Ultimate
and that's your simple solution. Yeah,

494
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,960
it's the simplest solution. It is
what they will do. But I don't

495
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,079
disagree with what Cody is saying here. In fact, I think this is

496
00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:58,640
like sort of central tube to what
we're getting at is they had this very

497
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,680
simple thing that was just applied across
the board for the most part, and

498
00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:07,440
they are giving that up because they
want to move more people up to the

499
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,039
highest here and make more money from
it. So clearly their emphasis is on

500
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:15,839
not a simple messaging to attract new
new users, to attract new people to

501
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,119
pay. It is about getting more
money from the same people, and that

502
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:22,720
is not a growth mindset. So
yeah, there's no other way to read

503
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,839
that. Yep, ol Grug says, is Mike an emeo or is he

504
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,920
a starfie? Look? Did you
see a little starfie drinking the drink on

505
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,799
the beach. He's Mike is a
starfie. Yeah, Starfee's very mic coded.

506
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,359
Yes, see that picture of him
on the speeder bike doing his like

507
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,559
serious nerd pose. I said that. When he sent me that, I

508
00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:47,440
said, did you get across the
entire planet in four to five minutes?

509
00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:53,759
Hey? There it is all right, Chris Pratt, right sin, He

510
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:58,839
says, Xbox Plus, PlayStation Game
Pass, all of these new services are

511
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:04,640
distracting us gamers for doing what we
do best, stomping the fupas That's right.

512
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,960
I mean. Also, he put
a capital G for gamers. Hell

513
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:10,880
yeah, Chris Pratt, Chris knows
what's up? Chris Son, Thank you

514
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:16,440
so much. Connel Wood says,
Yeah, I'm gonna pass on this price

515
00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:21,559
hike. Boom, you got him
right right in the kisser. Look at

516
00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:29,400
that big fresh thirty seven, says
Starfy with uh maybe three dozen exclamation points.

517
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,159
Yeah, I know this, like
there's always been like a little bit

518
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:35,000
of a cult following for these games, and now I'm realizing it was just

519
00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:37,760
dont I ever heard of them?
Yeah, because they're Japan only, I

520
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,599
guess that's why I never actually ended
up playing them. But this is hopefully

521
00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:43,599
that you just jump in there and
enjoy them. I wonder if there's like

522
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:47,280
actually English translated rams that would be
even better, better way to go.

523
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,559
Yeah, but we'll see, all
right. Jhalil Hayman, who is a

524
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:57,800
Lincoln member for six months, says
we need to learn what Chris Samamoto Son

525
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,639
thinks about me O. Very good
question. We guess who's guess who's under

526
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:08,559
that bag. I'm very excited to
find out what they think about that.

527
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,199
Slippery Moose Cakes says pr would have
been better had they added streaming of all

528
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,880
bought games to Ultimate at the same
time as the price increased. See,

529
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,519
so I'm talking about like add something
to that service. Besides, you could

530
00:35:23,559 --> 00:35:28,480
use a fire stick. I mean
even like said much about like a lot

531
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:34,079
of the Activision Blizard games. I
know, like recently some Transformer games like

532
00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:37,519
started working. Are those in game
pass like I don't know. It feels

533
00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:38,679
like they could have just done a
big drop at the same time as well.

534
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,400
There was Yeah, there's a rumor
that Black Ops three was coming.

535
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,239
I thought I saw, but I
don't know if that ever, like what

536
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,199
the timeline of that room was if
we missed it. Ye, it seems

537
00:35:50,199 --> 00:35:53,639
like there's easy, low effort ways
to sweeten the pot, to put some

538
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,280
honey on this, but they do
that the stick of the charac. There's

539
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,480
a lot of stick here. The
Inchariton Wolf says, playing Link to the

540
00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:07,840
Past for the first time, and
man of this game is a masterpiece.

541
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,800
Do you guys prefer Link to the
Past or Link Between Worlds? I mean,

542
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,599
it's hard because there's a lot of
nostalgia for Link to the Past,

543
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:19,960
which in many ways to me is
a perfect video game. It's a perfect

544
00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:24,000
between worlds. Is takes that perfect
video game and twist sitting really fun ways

545
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,360
and like maybe makes it more fun
to play moment to moment, Like it's

546
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,639
right, such good movement and stuff
like that. I mean. The thing

547
00:36:31,679 --> 00:36:35,559
that goes against linksing Worlds, I
guess is like I think you really do

548
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:37,559
kind of need to play in three
D for it to work, you know,

549
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:40,840
the way it should. So there's
a barrier there, especially good,

550
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,880
you know, if you don't have
a three DS and you're trying to play

551
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:49,079
it otherwise. But I mean gun
to head, I'll I'll still take Link

552
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:52,639
to the Past. I guess.
Yeah, I if I were to sit

553
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,719
down and play one of these games, I would be playing Link between Worlds

554
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,960
right now. But Link to the
Past is classic and perfect, all right.

555
00:37:00,199 --> 00:37:05,480
Edgar Moreno, with their tenth super
on Live, says, can you

556
00:37:05,519 --> 00:37:09,320
show me an a bernick sp You
got that handy? Jeff? It is?

557
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:12,599
Yeah, let me go grab it
right over here. I think if

558
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:17,239
it's pull your shirt before you stand
up, trust me, I think good.

559
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,400
Good. Don't give it for a
free. I really want one.

560
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,599
If you get to charge guys.
Yeah, I'm not standing up unless someone

561
00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:29,559
super chat's at least twenty bucks to
day, okay least. Yeah, we'll

562
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:31,719
see what happens. You know he's
coming back. Oh man, that looks

563
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,800
so cool. I want one to
throw so bad. Hey, then that

564
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,960
looks like a game Boy ADVANCESP,
and that's a game Boy DANCESP by way

565
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,519
of a Bernick. It's Ambernick SP. And then I got my own little

566
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:46,360
sticker and put the Nintendo sticker on
here. Oh heba, yeah, so

567
00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:50,920
I talked about this before if I
faced with you with Mike. But like

568
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,719
my attraction all these Chinese handhelds is
well, I have a Steam Deck and

569
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,639
it does all that, and I
have an analog pocket. But that form

570
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:04,320
fact that's enticing. Oh Like,
it just makes me feel happy to look

571
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,239
at it when I see it,
to hold it, to have it in

572
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,960
my pocket. It just gives me
the warm fuzzies. And that's a huge

573
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:16,239
part of it. The somewhat annoying
aspect of it is it dies relatively quickly

574
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,880
quickly in standby mode, which I
can't remember. I thought the Game Boy

575
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,320
Advanced SP lasted for quite a while
when you closed off clamshell, as he

576
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:28,159
didn't have that. That was the
some games had like sleep right, they

577
00:38:28,199 --> 00:38:31,679
had the sleep mode right, So
but I would take advantage of whenever I

578
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:37,480
could, and I would keep it
in sleep mode. Still, I would

579
00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:39,119
expect this to have a little bit
better, better battery life in that situation,

580
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,440
I think what what has been happening
though, is I've been like browsing

581
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,320
in the OS and when I put
it in sleep in the OS, that's

582
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,480
what uses more of the battery.
And then when I'm in a game,

583
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,639
it actually shuts down in a much
more clean way. I gets the battery

584
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,199
still doing pretty good. And I
definitely had this on for a day or

585
00:38:53,199 --> 00:38:57,800
two, so uh yeah, I
want to like use it more. I

586
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,519
just traveling and elden ringing a bunch
of others stuff gotten the way, but

587
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:04,880
I am glad to have it like
this is definitely like my preferred way to

588
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,159
play these games that that work well
with this button layout at the moment.

589
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:19,440
Very nice. Where did I go
redacted? And if he chatted another one,

590
00:39:20,639 --> 00:39:23,280
He says with all my soul,
I hate the super chat interface.

591
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:28,800
I like Zelda, that is all. Hell Yeah, Ezekiel, sorry about

592
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,159
the super chats. He didn't have
to give us another ten dollars to say,

593
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,519
yeah, but I'll take that time
for myself. Yeah, there we

594
00:39:34,559 --> 00:39:38,760
go. There, that's the AJS
fee right there, and okod that's good.

595
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:44,199
I like Zelda to Yes, that
is his fifth and sixth super Chat

596
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:51,239
Live. Illuminati eighty five wraps us
up for now with how can anyone deny

597
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,519
GP pays for itself monthly? I
mean, I don't think we ever said

598
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:59,239
it doesn't unless it doesn't, because
there are some people who are like,

599
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,960
well, no, I want to
play these games, and I'm going to

600
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,159
play these two or three games this
year, and instead of getting game Pass

601
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,079
Ultimate, I will just buy them. Now. Of course you have to

602
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:14,920
factor in the factor in the cost
of Xbox Live. You're gonna be playing

603
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:21,960
anything anything online on the Xbox.
I still think Xbox game Pass is a

604
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:28,760
relatively good deal even now. In
many situations, if someone were coming to

605
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,280
me and being like, look,
I want to really get into games,

606
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,559
where should I start? I would
give them some I would offer them some

607
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:37,880
options, and I would probably still
personally point them to the Steam Deck.

608
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,239
But I'm like, but if that's
frightening to you, because PC, maybe

609
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,440
an Xbox Series S and game Pass, because that'd be a good way to

610
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,000
try a whole lot of games real
fast, and then you could play all

611
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,000
these free to play games online and
have fun with that. All that said,

612
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:58,119
none of like, none of that
changed changed the conversation we had about

613
00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:01,239
like, why are these changes happening, and are they happening because game Pass

614
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,920
is healthy and is exactly what Microsoft
needs it to be, and it clearly

615
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,079
no, that's not the case.
It's not growing the way it needs it

616
00:41:07,079 --> 00:41:09,079
to be, so that's why they're
making these changes. I don't think it

617
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:13,440
changes anything about what we said.
Yeah. I think ultimately though, as

618
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,960
a consumer of any subscription service for
gaming, you look at what you pay

619
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,599
per year for that service, and
then you look at what you'd pay per

620
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:23,800
year for those games and which one's
bigger, and that's how you make your

621
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:28,079
decision. You know, I hadn't
subscribed to Ubisoft Plus for years, and

622
00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:30,599
then they had a slate of games
over the course of twelve months that I

623
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:34,239
was like, I want all these
games, so I may as well do

624
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,440
the subscription. So I played Avatar, I played Prince of Persia. I'm

625
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,880
going to play Star Wars Outlaws.
That made sense. And you know,

626
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,239
for a while I had EA Plus
because or whatever their their top tier one

627
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:52,360
is called, because I wanted to
play Anthem and Battlefield and now we know

628
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,360
better. But yeah, that's all
there is to it. Just value proposition

629
00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:01,199
for you exactly, and everyone can
make their choice. And if you really

630
00:42:01,559 --> 00:42:06,280
don't like it anymore because he's price
increases, just in sub you can still

631
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:07,360
complain about it if you want,
always say that to feel free to complain

632
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,519
if you want. Yep, all
right, that is it for now with

633
00:42:10,639 --> 00:42:14,880
super chats, so you can send
in a super chat at any point and

634
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,320
we will read it before the show
is over. Okay, excellent, And

635
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,360
of course anyone wants to discuss anything
else that's been going on, feel free

636
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,360
to send in those super chats.
We'll do another round of those as we

637
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,719
get more in before the end of
the show. In the meantime, I

638
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,360
think what we'll do now is we'll
go get set up for our draft.

639
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,280
We're gonna do a draft of sports
games. Both ash Guy and I will

640
00:42:34,519 --> 00:42:37,039
draft a team of different sports games
and face them off against one another.

641
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:39,639
Looking forward to that. But before
we do that, we're gonna take a

642
00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:46,760
quick break and we are back.
Let's hop into it, Like I said,

643
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:52,039
a sports game draft. So how
this is going to work is me

644
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:57,039
and ash Guy will both have our
own team. I think let's aim for

645
00:42:57,159 --> 00:43:00,199
ten and if we start to lose
steam, we'll go to eight. If

646
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,000
we have plenty of steam, go
to twelve. We'll kind of play it

647
00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:06,320
by year on that. We have
some other things we'll probably have to figure

648
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,360
out here. Maybe we can have
a discussion about the here in a second.

649
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,400
But the general rules are we will
pick a team of sports games,

650
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,480
and then we'll have our podcast producers
vote on the winner. I'll make a

651
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,519
Twitter pool. If you're listening to
this, you want to vote on that,

652
00:43:19,559 --> 00:43:22,880
of course, but that's not binding. What's binding is our podcast producers,

653
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:25,599
and so we are trying to appeal
to their senses. And I think

654
00:43:25,639 --> 00:43:31,159
that's going to be very interesting for
something like this. Now, Ash guy,

655
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:36,880
let's settle it. Should it be
any game that is in any way

656
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:44,679
considered a sport, for example,
Tony Hawk. Where are we falling like

657
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:53,079
extreme sports? I'm tempted to say, yeah, let's do it. Let's

658
00:43:53,119 --> 00:43:57,719
do it. I think so,
and then let's do that. Let's try

659
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,360
to go to twelve if that's the
case, because I think that I opens

660
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,679
up more than I was thinking initially. Agreed and sports and then should we

661
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,519
do it by franchise or should we
have to have the franchise game and the

662
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:12,840
year that we're talking about. How
about this, Like you can if you

663
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,239
just want to claim a franchise,
go for it. But if you think

664
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:20,880
it'll sweeten the pot to specifically call
out a particularation. But once you've done

665
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,239
that, it's off the board.
Okay, all right, so we don't

666
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,079
like, you know, we're not
picking different years of a sports game.

667
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,320
That sounds good to me. Okay. In that case, let's get started,

668
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:37,119
Ash guy. I think I'm gonna
let you go first. Oh wow,

669
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,000
yes, I do. I do? Is it? Does it?

670
00:44:39,079 --> 00:44:44,360
Do? I do the smart thing
the podcast producers do. It is screaming

671
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:50,920
Madden. Here is he listening live? If it's only one vote, sometimes

672
00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:52,880
all it takes is one vote.
I guess I got to just start and

673
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:59,360
take Matt. It's the eight hundred
bound Guerrilla, right, NFL. That's

674
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,039
what I'm gonna what. I'm not
going to pick like a particular year and

675
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:05,599
we're just going to say Madden.
Right. I think I'm going to do

676
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,679
uh, the other no suggestions in
the chat please, that's right. I'm

677
00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:15,719
gonna do the other obvious, similar
one, but this time for the rest

678
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,000
of the world, and I'm going
to go with well, shit, because

679
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,719
it would ea sports football also becount
as FIFA would be FIFA slash EA sports

680
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,800
football Collier, right' it's that lineage. Yeah, okay, FIFA slash see.

681
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,400
I'm not going to pull a fast
one on here. See. Yeah,

682
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,440
I think that makes them money.
It'd be weird if we try to

683
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,679
separate those, because we know what
Okay, okay, back to you.

684
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:45,159
So this pur is this too boomery? God, this is where I get

685
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:47,079
in my head now already. But
if we have a favorite year, we

686
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,559
will put it in there. But
it's like for FIFA and stuff like that,

687
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,079
and Madden, there's probably a lot
of favorite years thus have had like

688
00:45:54,199 --> 00:45:59,760
ups and downs, right, I
think, well, okay, God,

689
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:01,119
you know, if we're doing Tony
Hawk that I feel like I gotta I

690
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:06,280
gotta take. I'm gonna take Tony
Hawk specifically the one in two HD remaster

691
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,639
one plus two h D, Right, is that how it goes or is

692
00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:15,760
it? Yeah? I think that's
right, right, you know me?

693
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:21,599
Yeah, that's that's right. That's
tough because that's like the really big one

694
00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:23,360
of those. And I'm like not
exactly sure if I should try to counter

695
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:30,079
that or if I should Hmm.
There's a lot of directions. We could

696
00:46:30,079 --> 00:46:32,239
go with this exactly. I like
I like this one because it right.

697
00:46:32,639 --> 00:46:36,480
It's not like the Boss Fight one
where there are a lot of like direct

698
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:38,760
counterpicks, so you could just cry
kinds of directions here and I am going

699
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,320
second, which is very easily.
I think we see a lot of times

700
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,559
where it's like, well, God, I gotta start countering what he did,

701
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:45,719
but I need it. Right,
we have a lot of directions,

702
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:51,639
so I shouldn't. Let's just do
I think the take the next most iconic

703
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,320
one on the board, which I
think would probably be NBA jam. Yeah,

704
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,800
that's how I was debating. Yeah, I think that that that's the

705
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,679
one that's like a lot of people
will see that and just have warm fuzzies

706
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,679
for that and probably hitting a similar
audience at the same time as well as

707
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,559
the similar to Tony Hawks pro Skater
one plus two, the same kind of

708
00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:16,440
people would like both. I'm going
to go for another legacy favorites and I'm

709
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:24,000
gonna say specifically NHL ninety five oh
a version so good they re released it

710
00:47:24,039 --> 00:47:28,760
as a bonus content for the current
year. I'll help you out. I

711
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,760
think you're you're thinking of probably ninety
four. That's ninety four. Shit,

712
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,280
Okay, yes, you're right.
See you said that. I was like,

713
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,039
wait, is in ninety four?
Ninety four is definitely the one that

714
00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:38,679
people think, Yes, and they
did release a new version of that,

715
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:44,239
and then when they don't do that, fans update that version with the roster

716
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:49,440
of current players every year, which
is very cool. Okay, So now

717
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,719
it's like I'm feeling like maybe I
should. There's a couple of options branch

718
00:47:53,719 --> 00:48:01,960
out even more or try to hit
some of these really big names. And

719
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,880
then there's a couple that I feel
like if I don't take them now,

720
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,239
you could And there's some I think
I'm thinking of that. I'm like,

721
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,320
I'm hoping you're not considering at all
that maybe I can hold on two for

722
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,000
a while. It's it's complicated,
but I think I'm gonna take this one

723
00:48:16,039 --> 00:48:20,159
now because I feel good about it. It feels pretty similar to my last

724
00:48:20,159 --> 00:48:23,039
one. But NFL Blitz, I
think I think there are people who like

725
00:48:23,079 --> 00:48:25,480
NBA JAM and I think there are
people who like NFL Blitz, and now

726
00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:30,480
I have both of them. So
I feel good at that pick NFL Blitz.

727
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:31,719
It's like I already had football so
it's like, Okay, I want

728
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,320
to get, but what I don't
have is a basketball, So I will

729
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:42,400
go ahead and take NBA Street Volume
two. You're master. I thought maybe

730
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,280
I can like wait on that since
you took NBA Jam Yeah, suck.

731
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:50,480
I got scared, good, I
got scared. Okay, all right,

732
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:57,159
let's see here. You did NBA
Street Volume two. I just did NFL

733
00:48:57,199 --> 00:49:02,760
Blitz. They have I hadn't already
taken. You took NHL ninety four.

734
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:10,840
All right, well then I'm gonna
go with SSX just like, ah,

735
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,599
that's good. A lot of people
like they think it's like the other major

736
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:21,480
major extreme sports game that people think
of first. Yeah, and I'll hold

737
00:49:21,519 --> 00:49:25,920
on hold on to some of these
other ones for a while. Give me

738
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:30,719
that wave race. You're gonna steal
my wave race. Yeah, I'm gonna

739
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,280
steal your wave race. You left
it hanging you. I was hopefully,

740
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,760
hope, hope, hoping you wouldn't
think of it and then i'd be able

741
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,480
to get it late. Hell nope, the best water physics and gaming still

742
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,119
still got a wave race is so
good. I think about it all the

743
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:52,440
time. Okay, shit, that's
not fun. All right, I'm I'm

744
00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:57,679
gonna go for one that I think
is uh that maybe debatable. So I'm

745
00:49:57,679 --> 00:50:00,400
gonna ask you as as I say
it, h I think it's a sports

746
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,840
game, but it's not based on
a real sport. It is a version

747
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,480
of real sport. Rocket League.
Is that a sports game? I will

748
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,599
give you Rocket League? Okay.
And there's a soccer ball going into a

749
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,719
goal. Yes, right, that
is sports right, It's right. It's

750
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,360
soccer but with cars. And I
think if you could say something like that,

751
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,320
it makes it feel like a sports
game. A lot of people still

752
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:27,159
really love Rocket League. I am
hoping that because right now I feel so

753
00:50:27,199 --> 00:50:30,159
far behind compared to what you got
here. I'm hoping that some of these

754
00:50:30,159 --> 00:50:34,119
audiences will show up for these games
that I'm mentioning. I'm hoping some of

755
00:50:34,119 --> 00:50:37,159
the younger players in our podcast producers
are going to see some of these and

756
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:45,760
feel something. So we'll see again. You just said that. It makes

757
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,199
me worried. I'm going to go
for another Boom or pick here, but

758
00:50:49,519 --> 00:50:52,960
we're missing a sport and I want
to go with what I consider to be

759
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,639
the greatest iteration of it. So
I'm going to go with World Series Baseball

760
00:50:55,719 --> 00:51:00,800
ninety five World Series Baseball, because
not only did that rule in the Genesis

761
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,039
and the thirty two X, but
it had the really good Cleveland Indians roster

762
00:51:05,159 --> 00:51:08,159
on there as well. So right, that was a good game. Okay,

763
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:13,719
all right, So I think I
will go with my Boomer pick,

764
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,920
but it's a very recognizable Boomer pick
that I think has nostalgia cross generations.

765
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:22,679
Mike Tyson's punch out. Ah,
very good, very good, two exclamation

766
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:27,639
points. Yeah, I think that's
one that everyone recognizes, and it's probably

767
00:51:27,679 --> 00:51:31,199
still the most famous boxing game.
I was gonna say punching game. I

768
00:51:31,199 --> 00:51:35,440
remember, Like, No, I
don't want to say stuff because I don't

769
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:40,280
think you'd pick this. But I'll
save a conversation point for later. Ah,

770
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:45,559
Okay, where am I going next? Right? Do I go?

771
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,559
Oh? I know what I'm gonna
take. I'm gonna and I'm gonna be

772
00:51:49,639 --> 00:51:54,079
cheeky too. We're gonna take Mario
Golf. Mario Golf is really good shit,

773
00:51:54,639 --> 00:51:58,760
right, because we want a golf
game. The Tiger Woods and PGA

774
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,199
games they've been okay to last few
years, but they felt really stagnant.

775
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,800
They were like all the rage,
like two thousand and five, like the

776
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,320
Xbox generation. But Mario golf has
always been consistently fun. You know,

777
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,280
it's it's it's as much golf as
I need with a little whimsy thrown in.

778
00:52:13,519 --> 00:52:16,760
And it's a good series. Yeah, and it absolutely I think that's

779
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:23,719
a really good pick. Boy.
Okay, this is tough, man.

780
00:52:24,079 --> 00:52:28,599
I could go even more Boomer and
that doesn't feel like a great idea right

781
00:52:28,639 --> 00:52:37,000
now. There's some other ones that
feel a bit too Okay. If I'm

782
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,280
gonna go for the younger audience,
maybe I think I think this might hit

783
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:45,519
and I'm hopeful I'm gonna go with
WE Sports. Okay, I don't.

784
00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:51,039
I think WE Sports Resort. I'm
just kidding. I think all the different

785
00:52:51,079 --> 00:52:53,400
seat of sports. Yeah, and
then listen, WE Sports Retort is better

786
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,719
in some ways. But I'm hoping
more people just be like, oh,

787
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,599
yeah, of course I played WE
Sports. I like that. E Sports

788
00:53:00,039 --> 00:53:05,320
feels like one that is underappreciated now, but enough people will recognize it that

789
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,679
I hope at plays here. How
many is that so far? I think

790
00:53:09,679 --> 00:53:15,119
that's seven. Do you want to
do a quick little recap here? Yeah?

791
00:53:15,159 --> 00:53:21,360
So with aj Sports guy has Madden, NFL, Tony Hawk's pro Skater

792
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,039
one plus two, HD, NHL
ninety four, NBA Street Volume two,

793
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:30,840
Wave Race, World Series, Baseball
ninety five, Mario Golf. And then

794
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:36,000
I have under Grubball, FIFA,
EA Sports, FC, NBA, JAM,

795
00:53:36,599 --> 00:53:40,079
NFL, Blitz, SSX, Rocket
League, Mike Tyson's punch Out,

796
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:46,519
WE Sports, and now we have
another five to go. Yeah, I'm

797
00:53:46,519 --> 00:53:51,559
gonna hurt you again. I'm gonna
take I'm gonna take ten any snowboarding.

798
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,159
Yeah, I figured that would probably
happen after I picked SSX. Yeah,

799
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,599
like I didn't see how you could
take it. But I'm trying to also

800
00:53:57,679 --> 00:54:00,599
tilt you a little bit. Yes, it's worked for sure, Like your

801
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:05,199
list is like I prefer it one
percent, Like I hate that. Yeah,

802
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,119
listen what you won't say to Mike? Can he lose it? It

803
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:09,280
doesn't really, It's always true.
Yeah, yeah, right, because like

804
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,920
building a list for me, I
don't think is a way to win.

805
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:17,400
But for the sports games, I
honestly have no idea how the podcast producers

806
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:23,920
are going to take one. I'm
trying to be broad. Nintendo bias usually

807
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:30,800
helps, wait because like there are
some games that are massive that we haven't

808
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,480
picked yet that I don't know if
any podcast producer actually gives a fuck about

809
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,719
I'll just pick it now because at
this point I don't think I think this

810
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,599
is like really my only resort is
to go for those I'm gonna go with

811
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,239
NBA two K, which is one
of the biggest in the world. In

812
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,639
the world, Yeah, but like
it feels like there's like gamers and there's

813
00:54:51,679 --> 00:54:53,360
people who play NBA two K,
you know what I mean. Two K

814
00:54:53,599 --> 00:54:58,880
is legit good, but but it's
also go Like I think it's held back

815
00:54:59,199 --> 00:55:01,639
in its opinion because it's very like
call of Duty in terms of it's everywhere

816
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,960
and it has micro transactions that people
hate. But I don't know. I'm

817
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,880
hoping. I'm hoping people will fill
in. Well, yeah, NBA two

818
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:13,480
K seventeen I love that, So
I'm hoping people just kind of get them

819
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:20,559
like that. Yeah, yeah,
No, I'm gonna Okay, I had

820
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:23,239
one in my head. This save
it because it's obscure and if it helps

821
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:37,000
me yet, Uh, starting to
get a little stuck. So is it

822
00:55:37,079 --> 00:55:39,480
is it? Okay? I'll leave
it to you. Is it is it

823
00:55:39,559 --> 00:55:45,679
too much to say NCAA football?
Well? No, yeah, do you

824
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,000
want to? But you like the
EA Sports one, right, Like,

825
00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:52,440
is that too close to Madden?
Or are we and ship? Yeah?

826
00:55:52,519 --> 00:55:54,760
I should have taken that. What
the fuck was I thinking? Yeah,

827
00:55:54,800 --> 00:56:01,760
I'll take it because there always was
a certain segment of people who they didn't

828
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:07,000
like Madden, they liked college football
and they've been underserved for a long time,

829
00:56:07,519 --> 00:56:10,039
and that there is an excitement that
that's coming back. So I'll try

830
00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:15,079
to ride that wave. Yep,
all right, I'm sticking with my current

831
00:56:15,119 --> 00:56:19,920
strategy and I'm gonna go with MLB
the Show. That's another one, like

832
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,719
it feels like it comes out of
a year. It's a game pass and

833
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:27,039
it's like yeah, but it's like
it's hard to gauge because like the people

834
00:56:27,039 --> 00:56:29,760
who play it play it and no
one talks about it. I don't.

835
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,039
I don't love where I'm at with
it with this, but it's like it

836
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:35,679
would I think it'd be weird not
to pick them. It would be weird

837
00:56:35,679 --> 00:56:37,679
to pick so many other things before
picking NBA two K and MLB the Show.

838
00:56:38,039 --> 00:56:51,159
So I'm hoping mhm, okay,
oh, Mario Strikers. What am

839
00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:53,119
I doing? Yeah? I was, I'm thinking I need a soccer game.

840
00:56:53,119 --> 00:56:57,360
Which one do I go for?
Duh, the one that everyone talks

841
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,920
about on this show. Uh,
what's the name of the one you're you're

842
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,440
selecting or do you want to do? I guess you're doing the whole year

843
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:10,239
franchise. Yeah, okay, well
shit, that's good. Okay, I

844
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:15,440
am let's see how many we have
left? That was three, three,

845
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,239
nine tenths. We have two two
left? You have two left. I

846
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:22,400
have three left. Okay, I'm
going to do uh And I think I'm

847
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:29,320
gonna mention a specific version of these
I'm gonna go with Tiger Woods PGA Tour.

848
00:57:30,559 --> 00:57:34,400
I think a lot of people played
those games at that time, and

849
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,840
I don't think any of the golf
games since then have had the same cultural

850
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:42,559
impact as the Tiger Woods PGA Tour
games. So I'm hopeful they're very good

851
00:57:42,559 --> 00:57:46,880
and they had very good character creators. Yes, it was very into for

852
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:51,840
a long time. Right, I'm
trying to think, like, is therely

853
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,079
some weird sport were missing, just
like a sport in general. High lie.

854
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:13,599
I am going to pick dead or
alive extreme beach volleyball. Let's get

855
00:58:13,599 --> 00:58:16,920
the white food the baby. Oh
god, all right, there is see

856
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,599
this Manati is smart? Y'all could
learn a thing or two from this.

857
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:23,639
Get the out of here. I
know, I know, I'm messed up

858
00:58:23,719 --> 00:58:31,039
bad. Okay, all right,
let's see here. I think still a

859
00:58:31,119 --> 00:58:39,880
couple of ways I could go I
want to do. Okay, I'm gonna

860
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:45,920
talk it out because I want to
pick a racing game, but I don't

861
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,480
know which one. And so I'm
like, consider, are we doing racing

862
00:58:49,519 --> 00:58:52,599
is sport? Well? What do
you think? I thought? I think

863
00:58:52,639 --> 00:58:57,840
so, but I don't know.
Do we want to like that's that's different,

864
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,639
you know what I mean? I'm
I'm okay with separating motorsports out and

865
00:59:00,639 --> 00:59:04,199
then we just don't do motorsports.
Yeah, because I feel I feel like

866
00:59:04,199 --> 00:59:07,119
you could do a draft of racing. You're right, because because right,

867
00:59:07,199 --> 00:59:09,800
you're right motorsports, because then there's
so many like we could pick up,

868
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:15,639
like motor bike racing and and uh
uh, you know, watercraft and stuff

869
00:59:15,679 --> 00:59:19,679
like that. When you did wave
Race, I realized I was thinking to

870
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,840
pick wave races. You gonna say
it's definitely a motorsport. Okay, all

871
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,039
right, then I'll give you one. I'll give you one. Yeah,

872
00:59:25,039 --> 00:59:30,440
okay, that seems fair. We
did do Rocket League, right, soccer

873
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:35,199
with cars Okay, well I'm thinking
then now I'm back to like having to

874
00:59:35,199 --> 00:59:38,960
pick one, and it's like,
I just don't think like stuffing on like

875
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:43,679
f one does anything. I guess
I could do like Sega Rally, I

876
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,559
feel and that feels like very It
feels like more like a sport than uh,

877
00:59:49,559 --> 00:59:52,199
rage Racer or whatever. What was
Mike like when it was a stupid

878
00:59:52,199 --> 00:59:57,360
game Ridge Racer? Yeah, well
there was a Rage Racer too. Uh

879
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:06,199
okay, well you know what would
Mario Kart count I doesn't quite feel like

880
01:00:06,239 --> 01:00:07,840
a sport to me? I don't
know. Yeah, that feels more like

881
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:14,159
a party game. I don't know. Sean Christian, you went away in

882
01:00:14,199 --> 01:00:22,519
here? No you is Mario Karter
Sports? Is Mario Karter sport. You're

883
01:00:22,599 --> 01:00:27,519
picking it as a counter to Wave
Race. I'm picking it as a as

884
01:00:27,559 --> 01:00:30,960
a motorsport game, not necessarily a
counter to Wave Race, but Wave Race

885
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,880
is the reason why we are considering
motorsports. Still, Wave Race feels more

886
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:39,960
like a sport than Mario Kart does. Yeah, I agree, I agree

887
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:44,760
with that. Which one? Which? Okay, so then you don't what

888
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,719
I am going to go for it, And this is kind of a pick

889
01:00:46,719 --> 01:00:53,119
for myself. Sega Rally Championship,
which could yes, I like, I

890
01:00:53,159 --> 01:00:58,360
don't know if it plays with anyone
else. Well to this is my twelfth

891
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,920
one, right yep, so I
guess to uh to just counter and wrap

892
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:15,440
it up. I'm gonna go Day
two, Daytona USA two. Sorry all

893
01:01:15,599 --> 01:01:21,360
right, uh, I will go
with the most boomer pick then at this

894
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,960
point, and this is probably my
favorite team sports game that I've ever spent

895
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,280
any time with, and it is
Techmo super Bowl. Yeah, how do

896
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,400
we not? You know? I
had that in my head earlier and it

897
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:36,639
completely went out. Boy, I
thought that probably should have been in my

898
01:01:36,679 --> 01:01:40,239
list somewhere. I love Techno Bowl
a lot. I love Techno super Bowl.

899
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,480
Yeah. Those were some good times, and they've got a lot of

900
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:50,119
iconic characters like you know, Bo
Jackson and Barry Sanders and just running back

901
01:01:50,119 --> 01:01:52,000
to your own end zone and throwing
the biggest Hail Mary on every play.

902
01:01:52,039 --> 01:01:55,559
It was just a great time.
So, yeah, I meant to pick

903
01:01:55,599 --> 01:01:58,880
Skate. Yeah, I did mean
to pick Skate and I forgot you.

904
01:01:59,039 --> 01:02:01,440
Yeah, which one I wanted to
find room for my list? I couldn't

905
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:06,320
because I didn't know. But I
like Sega Soccer Slam, Sega Soccer.

906
01:02:07,119 --> 01:02:08,440
I do remember that game. I
played a lot of that game. That's

907
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:13,039
very good, but I don't know
if anyone remembers Sega Soccer, Slam,

908
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,480
Golden Tea, Neo Turf Masters.
I wish oh NFL two K. I

909
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,199
didn't mean to pick that as well, but I kind of like it,

910
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,480
kind of. I think I went
with the NFL Blitz and I didn't need

911
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,599
another NFL game that Christian Dup spin, It's pretty good. Spin is definitely

912
01:02:25,639 --> 01:02:30,000
want to considered. I also was
thinking about virtual tennis and stuff like that,

913
01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:32,079
but uh, he did Mario Golf
and that made me think about maybe

914
01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:35,880
doing Mario tennis. But I'm like, nothing's gonna play like Mario golf.

915
01:02:36,199 --> 01:02:38,239
I don't hot Shots Golf would have
come close. I thought I thought A

916
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:44,320
J was going to pick Provolution Soccer. After you pick it again, that's

917
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,079
a series I fell from grace though
that like that was the top dog,

918
01:02:46,199 --> 01:02:50,800
but now like yeah, but people
still I don't know. I don't know

919
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,000
that it's for the bookcast producer you
win over, so like, I don't

920
01:02:53,039 --> 01:02:57,239
know if there's much love for that. I don't know if people would be

921
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,840
like, oh, I remember the
glory days of pro Evo. Yeah,

922
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,239
I think of it as winning eleven. I think of International Superstar Soccer back

923
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,480
when it was that, which was
great. But it's like the fact that

924
01:03:07,639 --> 01:03:10,920
the series had so many name changes
also doesn't help it. Right, Muddy's

925
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:14,880
the legacy? Yeah? All right, well, Jeffer, let's read these

926
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:15,920
back. Yeah? Can you read
them while I get I'm gonna put it

927
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,159
up on Twitter. Okay, let
me make the screen bigger. Second.

928
01:03:20,199 --> 01:03:24,079
See, so the scroll up?
What's my team? Name? Your team?

938
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:20,000
Tecmo Super Bowl. I was muted
there we are everybody all right, Hey,

939
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,199
how are you feeling about about the
results here so far? I'm feeling

940
01:04:24,239 --> 01:04:27,119
good. Honestly. I think dead
or Alive is gonna win it for me.

941
01:04:27,239 --> 01:04:30,159
I think that. I think that
was my incredible dark horse pick that

942
01:04:30,199 --> 01:04:32,360
when I when it occurred to me, I was like, oh, I've

943
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,199
got this in the bag. I
thought that was inspired choice. Like,

944
01:04:36,199 --> 01:04:39,719
like I said, I mean,
I'm a at this point, I'm like,

945
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,280
I like my list pretty good.
They're both good lists. They are.

946
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,880
There's a good mix of sports sims
and arcadie sports games, which which

947
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,920
is what's fun about sports video games. You know, there's different ways to

948
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:56,440
get it, and uh, I
feel I wish the major sports there are

949
01:04:56,559 --> 01:04:59,719
kadie games or cheated like like we
don't have like a like a Triple A

950
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:04,599
and NFL blitz more or you know
in the a street. Yep, we

951
01:05:04,639 --> 01:05:12,639
get like baseball's and what's the is
there some other small baseball game these days?

952
01:05:12,639 --> 01:05:15,079
But I want a game that looks
like the show. Yeah, I

953
01:05:15,079 --> 01:05:18,199
want a game that looks like MLB
the show but plays like Ken Griffy Junior

954
01:05:18,239 --> 01:05:23,679
did on the Super ninten. Yeah, and like EA Sports bought the team

955
01:05:23,679 --> 01:05:28,440
that makes Super Mega Baseball and Super
Mega Baseball, Baseball four came out under

956
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,320
EA Sports and it was kind of
like missing some features, and I think

957
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,440
all it really had was and we
got the license to some old baseball players

958
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:40,800
and not any MLB teams or anything
like that. It's like, Okay,

959
01:05:41,119 --> 01:05:43,719
what is the point of EA being
here if they're not going to really like

960
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,119
juice this game up? And but
it's a it's still a great game.

961
01:05:46,119 --> 01:05:49,440
It's it's still the best baseball game
you could play. Right now, all

962
01:05:50,039 --> 01:05:57,320
right, this is a I'm not
feeling very good about my chances. I

963
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,559
think your list is very good.
So we'll see. We'll see how it

964
01:05:59,639 --> 01:06:01,880
goes. But we'll get the results
from the podcast producers here pretty soon.

965
01:06:02,679 --> 01:06:06,920
I will do a poll in the
chat here in a second, and we

966
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,519
will get the result on Twitter in
four days. I set the timer for

967
01:06:10,559 --> 01:06:13,559
four days, so I'll probably be
torture for me for that whole time.

968
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,760
All right, let's take one more
quick break. When we come back,

969
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,679
we'll talk about what we've been playing. We'll get some more Super chats read

970
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:27,679
and then we'll get the results of
who won. All right, all right,

971
01:06:27,719 --> 01:06:30,519
we are back and getting back into
the action with what we've been playing

972
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,679
as guy, what have you been
up to in the last couple of weeks

973
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:42,719
on Trail Don Trail, I've been
it really is. We're on vacation.

974
01:06:43,559 --> 01:06:46,079
I had my Steam deck and if
I had some time do unwined in the

975
01:06:46,079 --> 01:06:51,039
evening, I just hopped in and
did some side quests, and uh,

976
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,679
I liked on Trail a lot.
It's very good. I like f f

977
01:06:55,719 --> 01:06:59,840
It's fourteen a lot. And uh, I'm just still, you know,

978
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,800
plugging away with the MSQ, the
main story quest, and I did the

979
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:10,079
first kind of handful of quest towards
the the Tank roll quest, which they

980
01:07:10,159 --> 01:07:13,159
did a cool thing there where I'm
assuming this is how it works, like

981
01:07:13,239 --> 01:07:18,000
each each role is going to a
different Old Game region. So for the

982
01:07:18,039 --> 01:07:23,000
Tanks, I'm in ish Gard,
which is the setting for Heaven'sward, and

983
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,920
that's one of my favorite zones in
the entirety of fan fans fourteen. So

984
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,599
that's working for me very very well. So that's cool. I really like

985
01:07:30,639 --> 01:07:33,880
that conceit that they did there.
I like when MMOs find clever ways to

986
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:41,440
reuse old real estate. Sure,
sometimes World of Warcraft does a really good

987
01:07:41,519 --> 01:07:43,920
job with that, and it's always
cool. So I was happy to see

988
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:45,880
that. I mean, usually it's
just sitting there, right, so why

989
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,079
wouldn't they find ways to do that. It's great repurpose it puting new content

990
01:07:48,119 --> 01:07:51,639
there, you know, especially if
you do have nostalgia for these areas.

991
01:07:51,639 --> 01:07:56,000
It's fun to go back and see, you know, how has this place

992
01:07:56,039 --> 01:07:59,079
evolved since I was last year?
And you're getting some of that with this

993
01:07:59,159 --> 01:08:01,519
quest so far. So it's really
fun. Like I said, so far,

994
01:08:01,599 --> 01:08:09,159
the just the dungeon and trial design
in this game is peak, Like

995
01:08:09,239 --> 01:08:14,199
it's so good. That content is
phenomenal in this game. I hear the

996
01:08:14,199 --> 01:08:17,000
complaints about some of the story and
the characters. I understand it, again,

997
01:08:17,039 --> 01:08:21,319
I guess, But again it doesn't
bother me because you know, everyone's

998
01:08:21,319 --> 01:08:27,000
pointing out that Dantro is the lowest
Metacritic of a Final Fantasy fourteen expansion.

999
01:08:27,039 --> 01:08:30,159
It's like, really for it was
like out for a week at that point,

1000
01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:32,199
Like how do you put a review
score after? So I have it?

1001
01:08:32,239 --> 01:08:34,560
I think I have it in my
fantasy, wasn't it wasn't it like

1002
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:39,920
seventy eight or something. It wasn't. Of course, it wasn't great.

1003
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,600
I'll look real quick. It climbed
up to an eighty. That's good,

1004
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,119
that's okay. I guess that's something. But it's like, man, I'm

1005
01:08:48,159 --> 01:08:53,000
like, oh, that's a guarantee. They never had port low review scores

1006
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,439
on that because only the absolute freaks
or reviewing those games. Right, all

1007
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,359
right, well, I guess yeah. The user scores a six zo point

1008
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:02,039
five, which is insane to me, like absolutely insane. I don't know

1009
01:09:02,039 --> 01:09:08,399
what people's expectations were. Is it
maybe the fact that it's like this is

1010
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,880
less continuing all the momentum that the
story's had before and now it's starting starting

1011
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,199
something new, and people are maybe
on something that's part of it, Like

1012
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:17,119
I said, like looking for that
feeling they had when the story just kept

1013
01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:20,079
ramping up, right I, Like
I said, this is I feel like

1014
01:09:20,119 --> 01:09:24,760
this is this game's miss of Pandaria
moment where it is this kind of reset.

1015
01:09:25,079 --> 01:09:28,000
I think by the end of this
expansion, we're gonna get a clear

1016
01:09:28,039 --> 01:09:31,159
idea of where the threat's going and
what the next ten years this story looks

1017
01:09:31,199 --> 01:09:34,800
like. And I think ten years
from now, everyone will look back at

1018
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:39,439
Dawn Show with incredible fondness. Yeah. I think you're right. I'm sure

1019
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,279
that's where we're gonna get with this. By the way, see by the

1020
01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:46,479
way, chef, that's on Metacritic
and the thing you says, open,

1021
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:51,239
oh yeah, open critical. Yeah, it has an eighty four. Okay,

1022
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,039
okay, I'm okay with you.
Eighty four. That's pretty good.

1023
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,560
That's what makes me happy to seal
the deal for me or anything. But

1024
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,000
it definitely helps a lot more than
well, okay, so okay, So,

1025
01:10:02,199 --> 01:10:06,159
like, do you have this like
in a tier list with all the

1026
01:10:06,199 --> 01:10:09,880
other DLCs. Do you have it
like ranked or anything like that, or

1027
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:15,520
you're not feeling yet. I need
to finish it first. I mean,

1028
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:21,079
as far as early impressions go,
I guess it doesn't have the immediate impact

1029
01:10:21,159 --> 01:10:27,119
that a Shadow Bringers or a Heaven's
Ward had just because in a lot of

1030
01:10:27,239 --> 01:10:31,399
large part because of what they were
coming off of was such a big continuation

1031
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,319
of the story, you know,
the storm Blood, even though that was

1032
01:10:36,319 --> 01:10:41,800
still part of the overarching narrative that
was coming off of a pretty strong ending

1033
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:46,039
for Heaven's Ward, and we hadn't
really gotten the big universal threat yet to

1034
01:10:46,119 --> 01:10:50,359
the way it played out, so
that one, you know, it was

1035
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:57,319
kind of in a similar situation,
just not so concretely. Yeah, I'm

1036
01:10:57,359 --> 01:11:00,720
just enjoying it. It's just it's
more of my favorite of all time.

1037
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000
I'm not going to be mad about
that in any way, shape or form.

1038
01:11:03,039 --> 01:11:09,920
Excellent. G Glad it is working
out for you. I have mostly

1039
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:14,479
been trying to play more elden Ring, but I'm at the end and I

1040
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,479
kind of lost some momentum with my
travels, so I've kind of just been

1041
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:20,600
poking around some things here or there, but I've been playing too much.

1042
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:24,920
Really. It is, you know, some stuff on the site. I've

1043
01:11:25,279 --> 01:11:29,840
got mods going in eurotruck simulator or
things like that. And we tried,

1044
01:11:30,039 --> 01:11:32,880
like, honestly a few minutes of
that once Human game, and I was

1045
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,720
like kind of turned off by it
pretty immediately. I'm like, there's just

1046
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:42,880
too much going on, and it's
it feels like the kind of jank that

1047
01:11:43,159 --> 01:11:48,000
is pasted over with so much sheene
of like this like looks this is what

1048
01:11:48,279 --> 01:11:51,439
you know, really well made games
look like so much polished, and it's

1049
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:55,159
like, yeah, but I could
see all the crap underneath. And so

1050
01:11:55,159 --> 01:11:57,119
I'm like, I don't know if
I want to spend my time getting into

1051
01:11:57,119 --> 01:11:59,439
it. It seems like the people
that are getting into it are having a

1052
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:01,079
decent time. I'm just not in
the mood for that right now. So

1053
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,920
it's like kind of seeing all these
things pop up. There's the First Descendant

1054
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:08,359
as well, and I'm kind of
gazing over at that stuff, being like

1055
01:12:08,399 --> 01:12:11,359
I don't know if I really want
to be playing that right now. And

1056
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,479
so then I just kind of keep
going back to elden Ring and maybe a

1057
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,760
few things on the switch. Tried
out those new NFL games, not the

1058
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:23,239
Starfy ones, like the co Cobra
one from Rare and things like that.

1059
01:12:23,399 --> 01:12:28,000
Just kind of poking around of these
things here or there. But the plan

1060
01:12:28,199 --> 01:12:30,960
is I am gonna sit down,
I think tomorrow night, and maybe I'll

1061
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,920
stream this and try to just beat
the final boss in elden Ring. Haven't

1062
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:40,279
really had any real goes at that
yet. It is intimidating those times where

1063
01:12:40,319 --> 01:12:42,279
I didn't hop in there and kind
of see what it was about. It's

1064
01:12:42,319 --> 01:12:44,399
like, yeah, this first phase
isn't as bad as everyone said it was.

1065
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,319
Like, no, people are talking
about the second phase, which is

1066
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,640
as bad as everyone says it is
in terms of, you know, not

1067
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,600
bad in terms of quality, bad
in terms of this is terrifying and I

1068
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,680
have no space to breathe or get
past this guy. So I'll try some

1069
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,079
things, maybe rebuilding my character a
little bit and going there and try that.

1070
01:13:01,239 --> 01:13:04,840
In the meantime, though, I
am really just continuing to look forward

1071
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,520
to NYS World Championships. That's kind
of where my brain is really at.

1072
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:12,119
I cannot wait for that to come
in C double A or it's not in

1073
01:13:12,119 --> 01:13:14,520
C double it's just college football either. They dropped in C double A.

1074
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,800
I think college football is coming out
pretty soon, So lots of things I'm

1075
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,920
looking forward to, and I want
to get eld Ring done before those,

1076
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:25,359
so ideally that'll happen. I don't
know anything else you've been playing. It

1077
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:29,279
was it just down Trail, just
donchaw. I have already created a backlog

1078
01:13:29,319 --> 01:13:32,840
after the Steam Summer sales, so
I did picked up the Destiny to Expansion

1079
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,319
again. It was what thirty five
bucks, and it's like, if I

1080
01:13:38,359 --> 01:13:41,560
just get a good shooter campaign out
of that, that'll make me happy,

1081
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,720
and by all accounts, it seems
to deliver that. So I'll get to

1082
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,399
that here now that I'm back from
my trip, and just today I didn't

1083
01:13:47,399 --> 01:13:50,000
get Chans fired up yet, but
I did end up pulling the trigger in

1084
01:13:50,079 --> 01:13:55,439
Pennies Big Breakaway. Okay, cool, I want to try it, maybe,

1085
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,159
you know, maybe maybe I'll play
for an hour and be like,

1086
01:13:57,199 --> 01:14:00,840
now, just get my money back
on it. But I like that team.

1087
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:02,000
I looked Sonic Mania so much.
I want to see what these guys

1088
01:14:02,039 --> 01:14:06,399
are capable of. Is this like
the indie three D platformer we've been waiting

1089
01:14:06,399 --> 01:14:09,800
for and not? Uh, you
know the opinion, I seems to me

1090
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:13,079
it's it's good enough, so I
enjoy it from it. Yeah, yep,

1091
01:14:13,319 --> 01:14:16,239
I think it's Uh, it's it's
pretty good. It's not like the

1092
01:14:16,359 --> 01:14:19,319
dream scenario that you know, you're
kind of hoping for from some of these

1093
01:14:19,319 --> 01:14:23,560
things, and none of these indie
three D platformers have really been that.

1094
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:28,800
So I hope we kind of get
to a point where any team can make

1095
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,319
an Astrobot. But there's a reason
I'm so excited about Astrobot, because we

1096
01:14:32,359 --> 01:14:35,439
don't usually get that quality from everyone. Uh. The other thing I did

1097
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:40,079
play, and this was also on
the stream from Giant Bombs, Super Moves,

1098
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:45,159
which is that Parker multiplayer racing game. Uh, and that was a

1099
01:14:45,199 --> 01:14:48,680
lot of fun. It is.
It's one of those games it's like we're

1100
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:53,600
definitely using the unreal engine and we're
just gonna use all of the realistic assets

1101
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:58,680
and everything's gonna have realistic lighting and
all that stuff and kind of looks weirdly

1102
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,399
good. Uh. And then it
has a pretty simple part core system of

1103
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,159
you can run with a stick,
you can jump by hitting right trigger.

1104
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,880
You could do a front flip kind
of like a double jump in mid air

1105
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,520
after hitting the right trigger by hitting
right bumper, or you do a backflip

1106
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,359
in midair by hitting the left bumper, and then you could slide by hitting

1107
01:15:16,399 --> 01:15:21,000
the left trigger and that's basically it. And then you just got to follow

1108
01:15:21,079 --> 01:15:25,520
these obstacle courses to the end and
try to get there. And it looks

1109
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,720
like it has it supports up to
like forty people. At one time,

1110
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,000
we were just like more realistic Fall
Guys, yes, and it's like,

1111
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,760
you know, so because of that, it's also like a more skill base

1112
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:41,560
to fall Guys, because Fall Guys
is definitely skill, but you are working

1113
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,439
around the stiff controls that are deliberately
obtuse, so that people who aren't as

1114
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,840
skilled have somewhat of a chance,
because anyone can make a mistake and kind

1115
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,720
of beef it here. It's like, no, you need to just get

1116
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:56,479
good and run to the end and
be looking for shortcuts or looking for the

1117
01:15:56,479 --> 01:16:00,600
shortest path, or taking risks and
things like that. Really like that,

1118
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,760
And what this got me thinking is
I wish every three D platformer had modes

1119
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:08,039
where it was just players racing each
other online. That would be great,

1120
01:16:08,279 --> 01:16:11,640
But in the meantime, getting games
like this where it's like this is the

1121
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,199
whole idea and they're just building a
game around that, I was. I'm

1122
01:16:14,199 --> 01:16:15,399
a pretty big fan of that.
So this is a demo that is still

1123
01:16:15,399 --> 01:16:17,439
out on Steam. It was part
of the Steam Next Best demo, but

1124
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:21,279
it's still live, and I kind
of recommend checking it out just to see

1125
01:16:21,279 --> 01:16:24,520
what it's got going on there and
so something. Once it goes live,

1126
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,439
we'll probably play a lot more of
it. All right, why don't we

1127
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,960
read the super chats real quick?
I think we got to get here,

1128
01:16:32,319 --> 01:16:39,199
all right? Where do we leave
off here? With Adam GC He says

1129
01:16:39,239 --> 01:16:43,079
that Anthem game was done, but
the combat is underrated. I agree.

1130
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,840
It also had very good Iron Man
Flying and it's crazy that no one else

1131
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:53,159
has done it better since. Yeah, I just remember seeing that thing at

1132
01:16:53,159 --> 01:16:57,680
E three and being like, this
fucking rules this. Look at this iron

1133
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,800
Man flying. It looks so cool. This game's from I'm gonna rule.

1134
01:17:00,039 --> 01:17:02,600
And then I just if I played
it a little bit and never got too

1135
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,279
into it. They they they messed
up the loot system and a looter shooter.

1136
01:17:06,359 --> 01:17:10,520
That's what killed that game. I'll
do it. Also, I really

1137
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,840
hated being in like the towns or
the areas with like such stiff in PCs.

1138
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:16,079
It's like, man, I remember
Master e fact the characters will be

1139
01:17:16,159 --> 01:17:19,239
dancing and stuff, and this guy's
just standing there like a corpse. It

1140
01:17:19,319 --> 01:17:23,640
was weird. They got better,
there were there were some extra good moments

1141
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:30,279
with your core group. Adam GC
also says Mike's right about Starfield though sorry,

1142
01:17:30,359 --> 01:17:33,640
age guy. Look, I understand
Starfield's faults. I just get test

1143
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:40,880
them somehow because I'm a sick Oh
there's I love Starfield and step I can't

1144
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:45,760
help, but I enjoyed it greatify
for me. Don Can ninety four says,

1145
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,159
you think Sony returning to Tokyo game
chapter five years means they want to

1146
01:17:49,159 --> 01:17:55,560
compete with Nintendo Japan again when switch
to launches or other reasons. Jeff,

1147
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:59,640
what's say you? I don't know
if I mean like compete with Nintendo in

1148
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:05,119
Japan. And I think what it
means is that they recognize there're still quite

1149
01:18:05,159 --> 01:18:09,720
a thirst in Japan for these kinds
of games, and that the PS five

1150
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,000
is doing at least as well as
the PS four, which actually didn't do

1151
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:17,079
super duper well in Japan compared to
the previous PlayStation consoles, at least not

1152
01:18:17,119 --> 01:18:19,760
at first. Maybe that changed over
the years, but I stopped paying attention.

1153
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:25,039
But the PS five is not like
continuing a downward trend. If anything,

1154
01:18:25,039 --> 01:18:28,119
I think it's bouncing back. So
I think they're recognizing that if they

1155
01:18:28,119 --> 01:18:32,359
can hit that audience with a couple
of games, like you know, a

1156
01:18:32,399 --> 01:18:36,640
Ghost of Sushima did really well in
Japan, it like crushed in Japan.

1157
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:41,279
I think they're like hoping to be
there, maybe so that they can get

1158
01:18:41,279 --> 01:18:44,159
people excited about some other stuff.
And then when Ghost to Sushima two hits,

1159
01:18:44,159 --> 01:18:46,560
I think they're hoping that that also
crushes. I don't think they're thinking

1160
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,159
about we need to like take some
market share away from Nintendo, because that's

1161
01:18:50,199 --> 01:18:55,359
just not really on the tables the
fools there, that's a fool's errand absolutely

1162
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:00,399
all right, Ezekiel Bushitt, I
think that's how you say that says.

1163
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,560
My first game I can remember is
Space Jockey on Atari twenty six hundred.

1164
01:19:05,199 --> 01:19:13,239
What's your first bonus if the iPhone
YouTube interface, sweet Jesus, it fucks

1165
01:19:13,359 --> 01:19:17,560
up every day, isn't me.
I've read that prothetically everybody. I think

1166
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,520
everyone. I think the the YouTube
interface is causing everyone a problem tonight.

1167
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:26,880
It looks like sorry about that.
I mean, my my first game I

1168
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:30,359
could remember was Super Mario Brothers.
My dad just showed up one day with

1169
01:19:31,279 --> 01:19:33,840
the he he went on. I
don't know what prompted it from him.

1170
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:35,720
I should ask him. I'm not
quite sure why he did it. But

1171
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:41,439
he walked home one day with the
nes pack that had the three on one

1172
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:45,720
cartridge of Mario Duck Hunt and Track
and Field with the grays apper still and

1173
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:51,000
the power pad, and he also
had golf and Mickey Mouskapayes. And it

1174
01:19:51,039 --> 01:19:55,439
took us an hour to hook that
thing up. Hell yeah, we didn't

1175
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:59,399
know what we were doing. We
played Mario, we played golf. He

1176
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:00,760
beat me one. That was the
last time he ever beat me in a

1177
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:06,680
video game. And I struggled every
time they get track and Field to work

1178
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:13,159
because that power pad was touchy.
And that's that's how it all started.

1179
01:20:13,159 --> 01:20:16,560
That any s he just randomly brought
home one day. The earliest game,

1180
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:24,479
the earliest home game I can remember
is I think it was Barnstormer for Atari

1181
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:30,560
twenty six hundred, played on the
Atari twenty six hundred adapter for the Calico

1182
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,199
Vision, so you would play into
the Wild Wild Thing. Yes, wild

1183
01:20:33,239 --> 01:20:38,359
Thing, like the Kaleco Vision had
a like basically an expansion port on the

1184
01:20:38,399 --> 01:20:41,439
front, specifically because they knew they
wanted to be able to want you to

1185
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,840
be able to play your Atari games
because the Atari was the most popular at

1186
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:47,319
that time. You would buy a
separate a separate module that would be able

1187
01:20:47,319 --> 01:20:49,800
to take these Atari games and then
you could play it on there. So

1188
01:20:50,039 --> 01:20:54,359
we had some Calico games, definitely, but we had a lot of Atari

1189
01:20:54,399 --> 01:20:58,159
games because of that as well.
And I remember that little plane flying on

1190
01:20:58,199 --> 01:21:00,199
that screen. There were still three
other games, but I don't They're like

1191
01:21:00,239 --> 01:21:03,359
a mush in my brain. The
one that I can distinctly remember is Barnstormer,

1192
01:21:03,399 --> 01:21:08,279
which is, you know, basically
a plane just flying sideways on a

1193
01:21:08,319 --> 01:21:14,119
screen, and that's it. Storm
and Barnes Big Fresh thirty seven says at

1194
01:21:14,199 --> 01:21:17,920
Comic Con aw is announcing Lawyer Warner
Brothers collapses, Kenny Omega going to be

1195
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,560
playable and multi versus someday. I
can see that being very feasible. Did

1196
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:27,479
you see the wacky Asia Smith versus
Bugs Bunny trailer? I didn't. I

1197
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,720
know. That sounds incredible to check
that out. Those words that just came

1198
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:34,520
out of my mouth are a thing
that you can feel. Bizarre. Yes,

1199
01:21:35,079 --> 01:21:39,760
listen, I think anything's possible and
multi verses if they keep supporting.

1200
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,880
And I honestly I thought things were
looking up for that game, and then

1201
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,119
I mentioned that on a game es
morning today and everyone's like, no,

1202
01:21:45,199 --> 01:21:46,560
everyone hates it. I'm like,
okay, I can't keep tracking, and

1203
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,199
frankly, I don't care. I'm
never going to really check in on that

1204
01:21:49,239 --> 01:21:53,680
game again. It just doesn't appeal
to me, and none of the characters

1205
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,680
really appealed to me all that much. But I don't know if Kenny Omega

1206
01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:00,000
is in there that would be cool. I would fine. He would fit

1207
01:22:00,119 --> 01:22:02,920
better than Asian Smith. I think, yeah, definitely, which is weird.

1208
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:08,560
Tyrant says NCAA is going to do
huge numbers. Did you say on

1209
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,119
Giant Bomb you're a UM fan.
I thought you were raised in Columbus with

1210
01:22:13,239 --> 01:22:15,880
lame OSU. I think they should
give you a Harbaugh option to see what

1211
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:23,319
the other player pits. Yes,
I am a fan of the University of

1212
01:22:23,359 --> 01:22:27,920
Michigan. I grew up in Michigan. I I was in a McComb township

1213
01:22:28,399 --> 01:22:31,680
in the Combe County, twenty four
mile north of Detroit, and back in

1214
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:36,479
the nineties, Michigan football was crushing. It was beating OSU every year.

1215
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:40,199
And then, of course, I
like the second I became an adult,

1216
01:22:40,359 --> 01:22:44,840
they just lost to OSU every goddamn
year for like two decades straight. It

1217
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,800
sucked. That's changed now though,
so feeling pretty good about that team.

1218
01:22:49,159 --> 01:22:53,680
But yeah, no, I'm a
UM fan. And then I did live

1219
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:57,239
for a long time in Columbus,
especially when Michigan was getting their asses kicked

1220
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,720
by OSU every year, and that
bucking sucked. You know, I don't

1221
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,840
think I told you this, chef, But so I've never been a huge

1222
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:08,560
college football guy you and your brother. Yeah right, that was like a

1223
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,640
house takes. I live in Ohio, sure, but it's not like I

1224
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:15,479
like watched every week or anything.
And my two best friends growing up are

1225
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,680
both huge Michigan fans, like Matxly, So like that was like the only

1226
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:23,680
reason. I'm like, it was
fun to rib them. You lost,

1227
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:28,359
Like, okay, but after we
got into watching Premier League soccer and really

1228
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:33,000
enjoying that experience of like rooting for
something together that wasn't a miserable Cleveland experience.

1229
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:41,399
We were doing our annual cook Forest
cabin trip this past winter and I

1230
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:44,960
was wearing my big winter jacket.
I told them that I had a major

1231
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,399
life announcement for them, and I
end zipped to reveal a Michigan shirt and

1232
01:23:47,399 --> 01:23:50,439
I said, like, I'm just
gonna I'm just gonna be a Michigan fan

1233
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:54,600
with you guys, so that we
can like share it together, be a

1234
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,720
part of it. So, yes, I have some Michigan shirts upstairs,

1235
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:02,159
and I'm ready we'll come in there
with you. Look, I blues,

1236
01:24:02,199 --> 01:24:05,439
my favorite color. It looks it
looks amazed good on me. I thought,

1237
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:09,640
so, yeah, it's fantastic,
And hey, and that was the

1238
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:13,000
right time. All right. Yeah, that's what I say. I realized

1239
01:24:13,039 --> 01:24:16,119
the timing of this looks very suss. But it's just here we are.

1240
01:24:16,399 --> 01:24:19,359
It's Legon's there, and it's the
doors are open. Hop a board.

1241
01:24:19,399 --> 01:24:25,319
I don't give a ship. I
have so little. Yeah, Guardians except

1242
01:24:25,319 --> 01:24:28,000
for the ten to one loss they
had today, they were all crushed by

1243
01:24:28,039 --> 01:24:31,760
the Detroit Tigers. Yeah, that
was eight of their last eleven. I'm

1244
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,279
like, don't give me hope for
this season. I don't need that.

1245
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,000
I don't want to be starting to
paying attention to that. But I don't

1246
01:24:38,039 --> 01:24:40,880
know. If they're doing pretty good
the All Star break, that's something mm

1247
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:44,920
hmm, all right, Jess Rex
says, miss fight Night round three.

1248
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,720
It was great on three sixty again, caught up Yeah, yeah, when

1249
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,720
you brought up Yeah, when you
when you brought up punch ot like is

1250
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,720
fight Night? When I pick like, people remember Fight Night? Right?

1251
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:58,000
I don't know. I think you
can't slu itself out in my brain with

1252
01:24:58,119 --> 01:25:00,640
UFC. I'm like, do I
go with UFC your fight right? You're

1253
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:02,279
popular now, but if I know
people will Fight Night it was tough.

1254
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:08,880
Definitely considered all of them, right, el Krugg says, Jeff didn't pick

1255
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,720
a hockey game. This means that
Detroit Red Wings will trade his favorite player

1256
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,239
on the team. Again. I
came very close to picking NHL ninety four

1257
01:25:15,279 --> 01:25:19,399
before he picked it and destroyed my
night. Got in there. Yeah,

1258
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:25,680
he put me out. Oh I'm
with Dean eight one four nine, who

1259
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,520
says MVP Baseball two thousand and five
is my favorite baseball game, way better

1260
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,159
than the two K games after it. MVP Baseball five was very good.

1261
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,640
Yep, that was a very lot
of very good baseball games. This is

1262
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,479
the thing. Yeah, there was. What was the one I had in

1263
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:45,439
PC in the nineties. It was
I just remember it had a really cool

1264
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:48,960
like electric guitar version of Take Me
Out to the Ballgame and the menu and

1265
01:25:49,039 --> 01:25:50,920
that was like my favorite thing about
it. But it was also a good

1266
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:55,279
baseball game. I can't remember which
one that was of the thing. It

1267
01:25:55,279 --> 01:25:59,439
will come to me like tomorrow.
Our final super chat of the night here

1268
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:03,119
from Brono Trigger, who says,
who cares about Starfie Arrow the Acrobat is

1269
01:26:03,199 --> 01:26:09,279
back? He is, Yeah,
I did see this. I almost put

1270
01:26:09,279 --> 01:26:12,640
this in a game of Mornings today
or yesterday or something. Like that,

1271
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:15,000
and then I was like, no
one gives a shit about Arrow the Acrobat.

1272
01:26:15,399 --> 01:26:18,239
I give a shit about Arrow the
acro Bat. Are you kidding me?

1273
01:26:18,319 --> 01:26:23,399
Yeah? You show your horrormouth here
the Acress. Yeah, all right,

1274
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,439
well here it is, everybody,
Arrow the Acrobat is. I'm cooking

1275
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:30,399
the news master collection. Yeah,
from eight hours ago on game ran,

1276
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:34,319
Air the Acrobat making surprise return after
twenty years. Here I'll read the highlights

1277
01:26:34,319 --> 01:26:39,439
from the story. Arrow the Acrobat
is getting a re release with modern enhancements

1278
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,760
on Nintendo PlayStation Xbox consoles this summer. The retro platform or game will have

1279
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,239
new features like safe states, rewind, and a cheap menu for infinite lives

1280
01:26:46,279 --> 01:26:50,960
and health. Fans could expect challenging
two D gameplay with unique acrobatic skills and

1281
01:26:51,079 --> 01:26:56,800
quality of life improvements when the game
launches on August second. So there you

1282
01:26:56,800 --> 01:27:02,600
go. Everybody that's go enjoys experience
of being a circus s bat. I

1283
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,279
think I had dream last night.
I'm like trying to I'm trying to get

1284
01:27:06,279 --> 01:27:11,279
better about remembering my dreams. And
I think I had a dream about Buves

1285
01:27:11,399 --> 01:27:16,119
three D and that sucks now,
yeah, right, And I'm spending.

1286
01:27:16,159 --> 01:27:19,199
I'm like, I can't even get
away from it in my sleep. That's

1287
01:27:19,239 --> 01:27:23,600
a true nightmare. All right,
you said that was it for the for

1288
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,560
the super chats, that's it.
Is it time to check the results?

1289
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,880
Well, let's ask sean Sean,
have you tabulated the results? Actually dead?

1290
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:36,079
Are alive? Extreme three scarlet?
Thank you very much. Sorry to

1291
01:27:36,119 --> 01:27:43,279
get one in there, right all
right, so let me get this tab

1292
01:27:43,359 --> 01:27:46,840
laid here. I'm so getting used
to easy Poll's new interface. First of

1293
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,359
all, on a personal note,
I'm a little surprised you guys didn't lean

1294
01:27:49,399 --> 01:27:53,600
a little more into the Mario sports
games, like ahs two of them,

1295
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:59,600
but like getting specific with maybe the
RPGs or like Mario Baseball or something like

1296
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,800
that. Yeah, I was hoping
by being vague, I can let people

1297
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,039
pick. Do they like the modern
ones, do they like the old RPGs.

1298
01:28:05,079 --> 01:28:09,279
I just wanted to let them Marioville
the very good for that one.

1299
01:28:09,319 --> 01:28:11,000
That one, it was like,
I think, honestly, I think that

1300
01:28:11,039 --> 01:28:14,520
threw me off so hard that I
was like, I could say Mario Tennis,

1301
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:15,640
but it's like that's not going to
have the same effect, and I

1302
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,039
don't want to be on my heels
and just trying to counter him and trying

1303
01:28:18,039 --> 01:28:20,399
to play catchup because don't think it's
gonna be as good as Marho golf.

1304
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:26,199
So that's and like that thinking got
me away from the Mario sports games.

1305
01:28:26,399 --> 01:28:30,880
I think going with specific ones like
saying toadstool tour well have got like a

1306
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:34,239
good pop and so yeah, for
sure. Also the discord is wondering,

1307
01:28:34,279 --> 01:28:38,199
maybe I missed it because I was
doing some our receptor in the show wrestling

1308
01:28:38,199 --> 01:28:43,039
games. I think we probably would
have said those that could be its own

1309
01:28:43,159 --> 01:28:45,199
thing. Yeah, exactly enough wrestling
games to do it, that's all right,

1310
01:28:45,319 --> 01:28:51,399
sort entertainment sports. You know,
maybe that's maybe it's not a twenty

1311
01:28:51,399 --> 01:28:54,880
four game draft, but I think
we I don't know. I think it

1312
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,279
would have came up. I think
we would have leaned towards it not being

1313
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,600
a sports game. Okay, fair
enough, fair enough, Well we do

1314
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:05,880
other results here and the winner with
sixty nine percent of the vote, nice

1315
01:29:08,279 --> 01:29:17,239
is AJ the sports guy just just
a well done. That's two in a

1316
01:29:17,319 --> 01:29:19,880
row for you. No, you
lost last time, but this time you

1317
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,960
just crossed. Yeah, I got
destroyed last time when I thought I did

1318
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,920
really well, you know what's bad
when Jeff Jeff has the games that gave

1319
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,119
me the name Turbo Shaw and I
still went with a. I mean honestly,

1320
01:29:31,159 --> 01:29:33,800
I like, I do say this
with my but for real, I

1321
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:40,239
would definitely be voting for your list. By the way, AJ also won

1322
01:29:40,319 --> 01:29:45,720
the YouTube poll with He is currently
winning the Twitter poll, which is closer

1323
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,359
than any of the other ones,
but it started to spread a little bit

1324
01:29:47,399 --> 01:29:51,520
again. It's fifty three point six
percent to forty six point four. When

1325
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:56,239
you lose your own Twitter pol oh
list put names on, all right,

1326
01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:01,920
they don't know. It's still sad
though. You're right. I got three

1327
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:06,600
days left to make a comeback.
Maybe maybe Tony Hawk will do something to

1328
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:11,680
get himself canceled, and then that'll
help. We'll see that's your best.

1329
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:14,439
Oh, that's my best, hope. I'll see what I can set up,

1330
01:30:15,119 --> 01:30:16,520
all right, anything else we got
anything else to do? On this

1331
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:20,239
episode? Are we good to get
out of here? I think that did

1332
01:30:20,239 --> 01:30:24,439
it. I think covered it well. Sometimes you just known you recorded the

1333
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:27,840
worst podcast in the history of humanity. That's right, thank you so much

1334
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,680
for that, Ash Guy. I
will hit the button which this on this

1335
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:32,279
show takes a minute. So why
don't you tell people where they could find

1336
01:30:32,319 --> 01:30:35,279
you on the internet, what you
have going on and all of that good

1337
01:30:35,359 --> 01:30:40,279
stuff. Yeah, you could find
more of me a nineties Disney at nineties

1338
01:30:40,279 --> 01:30:43,239
Disney dot com, where we just
had a very good episode about the mono

1339
01:30:43,279 --> 01:30:45,840
rail you can find in real time, as Mike discovers that it's called a

1340
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,720
monoail because there's one rail. Very
good, Momuch. Yes, it was

1341
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:54,439
really something, and we will be
recording a bonus episode probably next week when

1342
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:58,960
Mike gets back. I believe he
can say he's in Disneyland for a Star

1343
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:01,479
Wars Outlaws event, which has been
in saying Lee Chello's but SKay, I'm

1344
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:04,800
going to Disneyland in August. So
that's all good. Uh. And we

1345
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:09,199
have an upcoming episode on Typhon Lagoon
where I've actually been in contact with the

1346
01:31:09,239 --> 01:31:13,880
company that installed the waveful of Typhoon
lagoons. Well really that's my research.

1347
01:31:14,279 --> 01:31:16,399
Yeah, I don't know how that
happened, but the founder and CEO has

1348
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:20,039
been answering my questions via email,
which is wild. So that'll be a

1349
01:31:20,039 --> 01:31:24,800
cool episode in August. Jeff,
how about you, Yeah, I'll say

1350
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:28,640
that I listened to that Monorail episode
on my drive back because everyone was pretty

1351
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:30,680
tired, so I just put in
like one of the headphones that has like

1352
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:33,520
the pass through and I was listening
to that. It was very good.

1353
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,600
I really it was entertained by that. So everyone should go check that out.

1354
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,159
Giant Bomb. This week, there
was that grab bag episode of Games

1355
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,600
yesterday. The BombCast this week was
very good. We had a really good

1356
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:49,439
voicemail dump truck today. Go check
out all that stuff. As always,

1357
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,920
if you're here on YouTube, just
go to YouTube dot com slash Act,

1358
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,640
Giant Bomb and cook on that live
tab. That's where most of that stuff

1359
01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:00,279
is. And then tomorrow everybody's interested
in that, in that that Concoor game.

1360
01:32:00,279 --> 01:32:02,439
What's this Concord game? All the
kids won't stop talking about Concord.

1361
01:32:03,119 --> 01:32:06,279
The beta starts tomorrow. We are
going to be playing that, Sean,

1362
01:32:06,319 --> 01:32:09,520
I think you're playing that. You're
gonna hang out with us? Ah,

1363
01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:11,880
yes, sir, all right.
I think we're gonnet it good myself,

1364
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:15,760
Jan Sean and I believe Nikki.
That seems to be the plan, and

1365
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:17,520
we're gonna see what it's all about. And then we'll record a really quick

1366
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:23,560
BombCast Revengeance after that talking about our
initial impressions of playing that game, so

1367
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:30,039
looking forward to it should be a
good time. And then anything else going

1368
01:32:30,159 --> 01:32:32,479
on there was the we did get
back at the swing of things with less

1369
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:35,119
than the ten dogs earlier, as
we check that out, and then we

1370
01:32:35,119 --> 01:32:39,359
should be back to normal schedule going
forward for the next several weeks. All

1371
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,720
right, everyone, thanks for listening, have a good one, take care

1372
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:51,800
of yourself, and by what a
weekend? Yeah, I mentioned earlier,

1373
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:55,960
I'm probably gonna do it this weekend. Probably, I'll definitely do it this

1374
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:04,560
weekend, everybody. Yeah, I
definitely beat it this time. Jesus take

1375
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:15,960
my pad knife, my good man, I beat it. My Dixie wrecked?

1376
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:26,920
Are coming? All right? Super
cool chat, super chats. You

1377
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:31,319
got that one? Yeah you do? Are you? Yeah? Excellent?

1378
01:33:31,359 --> 01:33:38,039
Al right, cool, all right, I will bring it back in great

1379
01:33:38,119 --> 01:33:43,600
great Greg brother, yep, let
me get that set up real quick.

1380
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:48,760
I'm in Argentina. Game pas still
huge here. It's She's like that ship

1381
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:53,079
is a sense of one game and
it gives me a funck ton of games.

1382
01:33:53,119 --> 01:33:56,359
So people, it's like, yeah, even if he goes up that

1383
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,560
much, I'm I'm gonna still play
that ship because just like, yeah,

1384
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:03,600
imagine good. Yeah, I think
the people that are already in are mostly

1385
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:08,640
going to stay. Oh yeah,
I'm considering dropping it because I don't use

1386
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,520
it very often, but that's because
I'm on my steam deck all the time.

1387
01:34:12,399 --> 01:34:15,159
If you're paying monthly as it is, you're okay to drop it on

1388
01:34:15,239 --> 01:34:19,359
monthsly. You're not totally yes,
yeah, that point is more valid for

1389
01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:25,159
you because you have a functioning brain, and a little bit less valid for

1390
01:34:25,239 --> 01:34:29,800
me. But you're not wrong.
All right. Let's see, I have

1391
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,319
to do that thing where like I
will let it like, I will cancel

1392
01:34:32,399 --> 01:34:35,239
it. I will like get it, cancel it, and then the next

1393
01:34:35,279 --> 01:34:40,680
time I will pay one dollar again. It's like, oh I cancel it

1394
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,640
again. I will do that for
like four months in a row. Yeah,

1395
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:45,920
that's my tip to anyone who I
can never remember these things. Some

1396
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:50,399
subscriptions don't do that, but the
vast majority of it will let you cancel

1397
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:55,159
and then keep the subscription for the
whole month. Just sub and immediately on

1398
01:34:55,239 --> 01:34:59,079
sub and then you'll you have for
the month and then just worry about again

1399
01:34:59,079 --> 01:35:02,119
when it comes up. Okay,
let me make sure this is like visible

1400
01:35:02,319 --> 01:35:10,720
for people launching maybe like a little
bit bigger. I never play on them.

1401
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:13,760
I should play on them. I'm
a I had to play on them.

1402
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:18,359
I'm I'm the shooter guy. We
all know Anthem. Yeah, the

1403
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:24,159
real Anthem fan over here. I
think I have almost three hundred hours.

1404
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:27,720
And mister Anthem, you're mister Starfield, no wonder, Mike gives you so

1405
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:33,520
much shit. All right, I
think I'm set up over here. Actually,

1406
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:38,079
let me do one thing real quick. I was bad before Anthem came

1407
01:35:38,079 --> 01:35:40,439
out. I was like texting like
him, Chris and several of our friends.

1408
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,199
I'm like, well, classes,
everybody picking, we gotta we gotta

1409
01:35:43,239 --> 01:35:47,359
prepare to go do the Raids dropped
the ball with that one, because that

1410
01:35:47,399 --> 01:35:51,079
game it was there was I will
admit there was a lot of cruff there,

1411
01:35:51,119 --> 01:35:55,520
but there was a very good game
in there as well that you could

1412
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:59,239
you could feel the interference of e
A and the Frostfight engine holding it back

1413
01:35:59,279 --> 01:36:02,479
and do you look through that There
actually was a very very good game in

1414
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,840
a very cool world. They set
up a really cool game where I'll probably

1415
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:15,119
never see again. I always love
it's pretty pretty cool logging. Oh Chi

1416
01:36:15,239 --> 01:36:19,000
dokey. I am ready to bring
it back in let's do it, all

1417
01:36:19,079 --> 01:36:24,520
right, break, break, Do
you want me to put up that that

1418
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:27,319
pull? Yeah? If you can? Can you make bulls? I can't

1419
01:36:27,319 --> 01:36:31,359
remember, I can how it works
sometimes it does. Okay, cool,

1420
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:36,880
Yeah, go for it. Then
a j all right here, I'll leave

1421
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:42,119
the pull up for now, or
leave the teams up for now so that

1422
01:36:42,119 --> 01:36:46,720
everyone can see them. There we
go, let me fix that. All

1423
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:53,439
right. We can let that play
out, and in the meantime, I

1424
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:56,920
got we talk about what we've been
playing. That's so good, sounds good.

1425
01:36:57,039 --> 01:36:57,960
All right, let's do that.
