1
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:30,719
Hey everybody, it's Friday, March
fifteenth. Welcome to BombCast Revengeance. I've

2
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,079
decided we're going to take a whole
new tone to this show right now.

3
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,759
You know, we watched Mikey Boy
beat it right before this on non professional

4
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,799
Friday. You guys are gonna get
me in trouble. The community was also

5
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:48,880
away and beating it in Bulatro.
Baby, I'm your host, Jana Choe,

6
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,399
welcome to BombCast Revengeance. Joining me
co captain of the ship as always,

7
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:57,840
He's the constant ace up our sleeve. Jeff Grubb, I love to

8
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,119
watch my friends beat it. The
mic kind of got clipped you there.

9
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,519
Yeah, it's all of the best. I think it's probably for the best.

10
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,840
It's probably for the best. We've
got our own joker. He's wild.

11
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,840
He fits in every type of suit. He's multiplying all the time.

12
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,560
Mike Manati Alsma. That might be
Dad. Yeah, it's me. I'm

13
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,879
good at Pialatro Immortal Kombat Mythologies.
That's right, soon to be number seven

14
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,000
on the charts. That's legitimately very
impressive. Michael Oh, thank you.

15
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:34,519
Jan Oh Yeah, that's a word
for it. Yeah, and we got

16
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,480
our man on the street. Our
man on the field, reporting live from

17
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,799
outside checking out the birds. Dan
record, I'll check in right now.

18
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,079
In the last eight and a half
minutes, I've been out here, We've

19
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,239
got a blue jay afoot, We've
got a harry woodpecker. We've got a

20
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,200
red bellied woodpecker, we got a
red winged blackbird. They're all over the

21
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,519
place. I found black capped chickadee, a house finch, and a northern

22
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,760
cardinal are all in the immediate vicinity
within the last ten minutes. So we're

23
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,640
gonna keep an eye out here.
So you've not heard a house sparrow?

24
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:07,759
Do you say house sparrow? I
think I might have seen one this morning

25
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,080
at like seven o'clock, but I've
not identified it. It's not on my

26
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,159
life list yet. No, okay, because they are everywhere in my place.

27
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,759
There's a million house sparrows left and
right and center all over the place.

28
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,759
That's the one I get the most
of online break breaking news. A

29
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,000
downy woodpecker is said. We do
have a hairy woodpecker, a red bellied

30
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,479
woodpecker, and a downy woodpecker around, as well as the pilliated woodpecker,

31
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:31,120
which is the pterodactyal that keeps attacking
my house. But no, the sparrow.

32
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,280
I have not seen a lot of
those. Definitely. The one I

33
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,280
have the most is the red winged
blackbird that is all over the place.

34
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:39,639
I'm sewing this app right now,
Dan, is this Stockholm syndrome? Are

35
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:44,599
you having Stockholm syndrome? From the
bird attacking your house holding you hostage?

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,879
And now you're like getting super into
birds as a response to this is what

37
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,919
I did with mortal combat mythology.
Yeah, yeah, no one's ever No

38
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:59,080
one's ever compared Moral combat mythology is
sub zero to birdwatch. We're all about

39
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,599
breaking boundary. Here a giant bonds. Yeah, you turn a negative into

40
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,439
a positive. Yes, yes,
numerous times a day. My wall is

41
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:08,319
about to collapse from a giant woodpecker, and my dog's go insane and everything

42
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,319
goes in disarray. But I have
a new hobby. Now I'm looking into

43
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,080
backpacks, I'm looking into new binoculars. I got all sorts of stuff going

44
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,199
on. Oh, Dan, are
you gonna go as far as to get

45
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,879
like a geely suit so you can
hide so the birds can like on come

46
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680
to you. I've looked at I'm
gonna start dressing like a Dudley boy.

47
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,599
So I got like camo going on. Yes, I'm gonna start going like

48
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400
into the bush. I think there
is I keep getting sound. I'm sorry,

49
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:38,759
what, Mike, He must be
watching funny YouTube videos in the background

50
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,680
or something. Penny, tell me
more about your going to get to the

51
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:45,479
bush. All right, I'm gonna
go deep into the bush. I'm getting

52
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,080
waterproof gloshes and uh, I'm gonna
be protected from the elements. Uh.

53
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:52,759
You see, I gotta go down
there. There's a mallard. I keep

54
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:54,039
hearing a mallard. I can hear
it, and my phone hears it,

55
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:58,039
and it's down there and all I
can see is the ripples. I haven't

56
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,719
made a full visual idea on the
mallet yet, so I'm keeping all out

57
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:10,280
there. Uh. So, my
I have the newer iPhone and it has

58
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,960
like the really good zoom lens for
iPhones, and I've just been trying to

59
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,319
snipe birds because Scout scares off every
single bird in the vicinity as soon as

60
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:25,759
she hears it. So so I'm
gonna have to strategize my my birding do

61
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:29,000
the sound stuff like I've done the
photo. The photo thing works pretty well.

62
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:30,600
But like I think the sounds it's
like live and then you can start

63
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:34,920
identifying the actual like I I know
the song of the red winged blackbird.

64
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:38,160
Now it's like, oh, I
know what that is. There's the mallard

65
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:43,720
that's this? You know, I
like it. You see any snipes yet,

66
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,199
Dan? No No. I went
hunting for of in Iowa when I

67
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,360
was a kid, though, and
I didn't find any. Get to go,

68
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:51,360
really, get to go really early
in the morning. I go as

69
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:55,120
far into the woods as you probably. It was like three in the morning,

70
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,399
and I went real far ahead with
that bag. I didn't see any.

71
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:01,319
Keep trying. I think I get
it. Gentlemen, Welcome to the

72
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:03,480
end of the week, and folks, thank you for joining us for another

73
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:08,439
episode of BombCast Revengeance. We got
a couple of games to chat about off

74
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,680
the tippy toppy here. But since
we're talking about the bird app Merlin,

75
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,000
right, that's a Merlin, that's
all. It is, like a Disney

76
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:24,360
character, Okay. I would have
like several different iterations good one. Uh.

77
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,879
Yesterday during voicemail dumb Truck, when
Dan brought up the Merlin app,

78
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,519
I wound up asking about if there
was an app to identify mushrooms and shout

79
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,879
out to tickle Bits because Ticklebits suggested
Merlin to Dan. They also suggested the

80
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,839
app Seek by Eye Naturalist, and
it reminded me I already had that app

81
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:46,040
on my phone and I was identifying
a bunch of plants and stuff yo by

82
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,560
my apartment. I grew up in
Daily City, like majority of my life,

83
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,000
but this part of Daily City,
there's so many mushrooms that I'm low

84
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,199
key terrified. Are they like things
that like have a dog eate him?

85
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:00,680
Would it be bad for him?
I have no idea. Uh, but

86
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,600
some of them are like very large
and bulbous and like, I mean a

87
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,399
lot of mushrooms are very phallic looking. But some of them are just like

88
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,279
damn, they look like like like
soccer balls sometimes like that size and it's

89
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,399
just big and around. Yeah.
Yeah, like one was probably like the

90
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:17,720
size of like this jar, just
like in terms of like going up.

91
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:23,360
Yeah, I like that they should
only look like they do in Mario Brothers.

92
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,399
I hate when I see other kinds
of mushrooms. You don't like the

93
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:28,319
chicken of the woods, like those
weird like plinky, the ones that look

94
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,040
like they be platforms in like a
wood level of a three D platformer.

95
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:34,439
Well, those are cool there,
like Little Nemo the dream Master. It'd

96
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,639
be like, yeah, I just
get more excited when I see one that

97
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:40,360
looks exactly like I imagine a mushroom
looks like in my head, which I

98
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,439
do. Have my yard sometimes,
which I've learned is not good. It

99
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,399
means your yard is dead or decrepit. That they used some word to say,

100
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,000
yeah, that only happens because that
that yard is bad. I'm like,

101
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:53,399
okay, well shit, do you
see the uh I got the bread

102
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,199
on the tree here? So yeah, I had two places one of yeah,

103
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,600
one bird kabab was taken, the
other one is fresh. Also,

104
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,360
I am sitting on the deck that
was like red alert on my house inspection.

105
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:05,319
That is like, dude, to
collapse at any minute. So this

106
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:11,800
could be the funniest possible last podcast
I ever. Wait, so wait,

107
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:15,800
what have you done anything about this
information? Nope, that's gonna have to

108
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:20,399
be next year because I got a
retaining wall to I gotta keep my house

109
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:25,120
from falling into this pond. That's
first, and then I'll worry about not

110
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:29,000
collapsing on this deck. That's what
it's retaining. Okay, your whole house,

111
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:31,160
I'm gonna word you right now.
Cannot be a bit where you like

112
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,519
have made a video of your deck
falling down by pretend and I have a

113
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:46,600
hard I have my lines and we're
crossing them to it's faking my own death.

114
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:54,839
That's okay, noble line. Yeah, that's not fake that you broke

115
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,480
that story today. I did always, for years and years, hope that

116
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,399
Andy Kaufman was pulling like a super
elaborate thing. Of course I hoped for

117
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,399
that, you know, I was
always hoping the same, but for Eddie

118
00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:09,439
Guerrero. But like that dude's like
dead dead. I was listening to listen

119
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,600
to Deadlock and James, one of
the hosts, went to the Roy Rumble

120
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,360
this year, but he doesn't watch
the product, so he doesn't know that

121
00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:20,680
the l wo's music starts with Viva
Larasa and so, and he couldn't see

122
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,680
the screen from where he was sitting, so he just heard that music during

123
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,480
the rumble and he's like, what
what are they do? Eddie coming out

124
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,320
maybe a smidge lower on that game
thing, by the way, damn yeah,

125
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,600
way, Jura says, just chiming
in. This would not be a

126
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:46,080
workplace injury. Thanks, I'm m
hm, and they demand that you bird

127
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,399
while podcasting. He did, he
did. I've got the paper trail.

128
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:52,039
No playing games here because we played
games before this podcast. We're going to

129
00:08:52,080 --> 00:09:03,320
talk about them now. I'm thinking
about getting an electric guitar to uh well

130
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:09,080
live play the transition music. Great, yeah, might go there, he

131
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:16,679
goes. It doesn't quite match the
vibe I was looking for, but it's

132
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,320
it's he's got the electric guitar of
faces. There we go. Actually I

133
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,480
like that. Oh yeah yeah,
and then we'll get like a tumbleweed rolling

134
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:30,559
through. I have to admit I
was still playing Blattro while the podcast was

135
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,360
happening. But to be clear,
I made a booboo because I was playing

136
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:37,039
Blattro all the podcast is happening.
I'm on Anti seven, about to actually

137
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,360
be therem getting one hundred thousand like
every two hands h And I wasn't looking

138
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,320
because I was talking to you guys. And I did the thing where I

139
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,120
swapped out all of my jokers for
one like polychrome Joker or something like that.

140
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:54,919
Everything point five. That's good.
Yeah, And I just watch all

141
00:09:54,919 --> 00:10:00,000
my jokers disappear. So I've been
punished cosmically for this, so don't worry,

142
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120
buddy, quick. The first rare
bird I've seen there is a purple

143
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:09,960
finch in the area and also a
dark eyed junko. Whoa the dark eyed

144
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,320
junk the chunk house in your yard? Wait, does it really rank them

145
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,919
by rarity? Yeah, you get
a red dot next one if it's rare.

146
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Oh, the dark eyed junko is
cute. No, dark eyed juno

147
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
is kindness, But yeah, that
is. The purple finch is the rare

148
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,600
one that's around here right now.
Yeah, but I'd rather have a junko

149
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,480
scene. Amount of birds around you, Dan, there's a lot of birds.

150
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,519
Yeah, I have been playing or
I started playing again. Prince of

151
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,120
Persia The Lost Crown. Hey,
uh we chatted yesterday on Game of Mornings

152
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,440
about the DLC dropping for that,
like you know, like maybe is it

153
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,840
a waiting for that to drop.
I'll just try and like jump back in

154
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:54,159
and beat it. And let me
tell you, I completely forgot how celeste

155
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:00,759
esque some of the platforming Crown segments
are. And just like Jesus Christ,

156
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:05,879
I feel so alive whenever I'm not
touching the ground, and like you just

157
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,080
get through the whole level it's oh
my god, yep, that's it's like

158
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,159
the Bilatra thing where you make the
mistake where you set the fake version of

159
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,240
yourself and then you like go to
work back, or like you go to

160
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,720
set one and you forgot that you
set one before and then you warp way

161
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,480
back to the beginning of the whole
jumping sequence, like that screwed me up

162
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:24,279
a bunch. Is the DLC,
Like, is it addition to like single

163
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,159
player stuff? So, yes,
a single player there's going to be a

164
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,840
series of updates. There will be
some like stuff that's like, oh,

165
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,960
here's a challenge pack of different things
of like the platforming challenges or the combat

166
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,519
Challengrush Boss Rush. But there is
going to be a story DLC at the

167
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,159
end of this. So there's gonna
be some free updates, and then a

168
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,840
little bit later there's going to be
full on story addition to the game that

169
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,080
is a full on expansion standalone like
new areas or is it like baked into

170
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,120
ther I don't think we know that
yet. Yeah, okay, yeah,

171
00:11:54,120 --> 00:12:00,759
but it turns out that photo map
system still plays really well when you're revisiting

172
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:03,440
the game, like a couple of
months later, and like Okay, I'm

173
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,679
kind of parsing together where I was
supposed to be going, what I was

174
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,759
doing, or what was at least
important to me and Jesus Christ y'all.

175
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,159
It's just it just controls so well, like the level of air control,

176
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,399
and then uh, like the maneuverability
in like being able to pivot but also

177
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,240
just do that like somersault back and
then like dashing forward. The movement is

178
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:30,159
great, and like the combat I
I wound up trying to switch it up,

179
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,679
and instead of just going full melee, I did the thing dan where

180
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:35,799
you shoot you kind of like charge
the boat, so you shoot at the

181
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,120
boomerang. And then I upgraded that
a bit. And then I didn't realize

182
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,559
how handy that donut would be.
Wait, I'm trying to remember, can

183
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,639
you warp yourself to that to the
boomerang thing? Yeah? Totally, Yeah,

184
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,759
that is an upgrade. I might
not have that ability yet, but

185
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,919
that okay, well I know what
I'm doing what I was saying, Okay,

186
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,200
yeah, oh yeah, that's what
I thought. What donut are you

187
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,960
talking about? Oh no, no, you're charging up the boat. Oh

188
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,840
oh okay, got a hole in
it? I'm sorry? What nothing I'm

189
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,120
sorry. Look, I can't help
it now, Okay, you guys just

190
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,039
keep screaming from about beating it and
going into bushes. Now, my mind's

191
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:15,679
in a dirty place. I'm sorry, Mikey. I don't know video games

192
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,519
and birds. Mike. Yeah,
it's really excited for Stowar Blade so that

193
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,559
the revolution can finally, the revolution
is here, everybody, the revolution of

194
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:28,559
butts in video games. I can't. I can't. Like Yo, people

195
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,879
need to fucking they need to cut
everyone's ethernet Court Jane. Sounds like you're

196
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:35,720
not part of the revolution. You
want to be left behind, buddy,

197
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:41,720
Listen. It's been well documented.
I enjoy rear ends and very thick thighs.

198
00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:46,840
I the way that some people be
going about this like y'all should be

199
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:52,039
kinkshamed. Yeah, they have not
been bullied enough. Absolutely, y'all have

200
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,000
not been bullied enough. Maybe I
don't advocate for bullying or physical violence,

201
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,919
but maybe you should just get like
shoved into a pile of leaves or something.

202
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,519
Yeah, just gently wedgied. Yeah, yeah, just like a like

203
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:05,759
like a pat on the back that's
a little too hard, that makes you

204
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,679
spill your drink. One of those
so that's where we'll draw the line.

205
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,000
That's good. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. I've also been playing

206
00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:18,120
and I also played with Grub and
Mike yesterday the Star Wars Battlefront collection.

207
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,519
If I remember correctly, at least
Grub, you had not really played it

208
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:26,080
as much back then. I didn't
play it. I checked it out a

209
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,480
couple times in the past, to
the point where I would say, mostly

210
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,840
I've never really played it. Okay, and Jan were you of the age

211
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,159
where it's it was just the holy
grail of gaming because it seems to be

212
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:39,440
like a very brief window of age
where they obsess over Battlefront. So I

213
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,279
mentioned yesterday, I remember checking out
the first one in the collection a little

214
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:48,080
bit. I don't think I ever
went online from my recollection. I am

215
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,080
curious about it because I like Star
Wars stuff and I like fun like PS

216
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,480
two era multiplayer stuff. Is this
Does it hold up for someone who doesn't

217
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:58,120
have nostalgia for it fun? Yeah? If you you know, you're like

218
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,519
you're like me, you just like
games from this era generally it's fun.

219
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:05,360
The campaign stuff is actually surprisingly good. That might be what you really want

220
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:09,200
to check out. I think that
it is like bot matches, but it's

221
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:16,039
presented very well bought matches, there's
good dressing around that stuff. But I

222
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:20,519
was surprised how much those newer Batfront
games actually are still like this. I

223
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,480
mean, you know, this collection
itself is not doing much work. It's

224
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,279
not even a remaster really. It
really is just kind of like ports with

225
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,799
some things like okay, yeah you
can do it at like widescreen and window

226
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,960
mode and whatnot. I think they
missed a trick not doing more with it,

227
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:41,039
because these games do mean so much
to so many people. Yeah,

228
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320
I had a fun time. I
don't I still want to put in on

229
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,720
like my Mount Rushmore Star Wars games, or even my Mount Rushmore of like

230
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,440
PS two Xbox era Star Wars games. But I was having a good time.

231
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,039
Let me look, you like,
let me be like a Stormtrooper and

232
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:58,960
then I'm and I'm running around hath
and you play the Star Wars theme like

233
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,799
it's gonna do something to me.
I am that simple. That is an

234
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:07,120
amazing superpower those games have. It's
just like you just use the soundtrack and

235
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:11,720
it makes everything seem more exciting and
past. I mean, I did enjoy

236
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,399
being on those menus more than playing
the game. Sure, well, I

237
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,840
mean, that's the thing about Star
Wars is like the sound editing really is

238
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:22,399
like almost eighty percent of it,
just the sound effects and the music.

239
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,200
And if you get that stuff right
in the video games, you are going

240
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,039
to have a really good time most
of the time. Yeah, speaking of

241
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:36,279
licensed games, you, Jeff,
you and Tam were just laying into Jurassic

242
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,559
Park games say that they're never been
good ones. I'm not gonna let this

243
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:45,639
Jurassic Park tradition slander slot. Wait, was Rampage Edition an update on the

244
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,399
Genesis game? I had the Genesis
game reason be Grant and the Raptor.

245
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:52,480
That's the messed up thing. Ramp
Page Edition a full on sequel that they

246
00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:56,000
just called a ramp Page Edition for
some reason. That's a bad idea,

247
00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:00,559
that's weird. I only original.
I don't think I ever even thought about

248
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:03,519
getting Rampaged. It's much better.
It's similar, but much better. Yeah,

249
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:07,079
play Rampage Edition. Fun. Also
the those Evolution games, the Park

250
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,160
sims. I thought, yeah,
that's what I said. I tried to

251
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,880
be like, I couldn't remember they
called I've never played it, but I

252
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,119
thought people like you did bring up
the three D O game that I had

253
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,559
and loved for being real freaking weird. Steph likes that a lot. My

254
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:23,359
wife really enjoys that dressing Park game. So it was gonna do Trespasser and

255
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,160
have to cosplay as mini driver with
a heart on their view, it'd be

256
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,880
great. That game's not like super
easy to just play. It was just

257
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:37,519
an old PC game, but we
had with the dossbox in probably working.

258
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,160
We made it like like ten years
ago. We had a striker put it

259
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,680
together, a game in form and
we had it running. All right,

260
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,160
we can get it going then,
okay, okay. But overall though Battlefront

261
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:51,079
is it is kind of what I
was hoping for, an easy way to

262
00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:55,920
get in there and check these games
out, and that stuff works in our

263
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,640
scenario where we were playing, like
a Sean set up a room, we

264
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,119
went in there. We had no
issues. A lot of people are running

265
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,279
into bugs and connection issues trying to
do things like the matchmaking that doesn't really

266
00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:08,799
work well, I guess, But
in my experience, I got in there,

267
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:11,160
played a couple of these matches.
You know, we've played for quite

268
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,240
a while. Yeah. I thought
the maps were really well done. I

269
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:19,079
thought the heroes were like it was
always fun to kind of play as Darth

270
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,039
Maul or jingle Fed or whatever,
and I'm I'm really glad that they do

271
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,680
the thing where it's it's all of
Star Wars at that at that time,

272
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:30,200
so it was the prequel trilogy,
trilogy and the sequel trilogy. I was

273
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,599
like, okay with games or like, we're just gonna be prequel trilogy.

274
00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:37,920
Sorry, yeah, pregel trilogy and
original original trilogy. I was okay with

275
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,799
Games. They're like, we're just
the prequel trilogy. That's that's what's coming

276
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:44,599
out right now. But I was
always going to miss the original trilogy stuff.

277
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:47,240
So seeing this game be like,
no, it's everything, it does

278
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:51,279
feel like the like the the er
Star Wars game. It's just all in

279
00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:52,559
there, and I like that part
of it. That sounds like a good

280
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,480
future revengetion topic is the Mount Rushmore
of Star Wars games? Yeah, yeah,

281
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,079
I think Jeritely do something like that
on our own one time. But

282
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,279
it would be fun to like get
more people and involved. But that although

283
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,720
maybe we have to make sure we
get Jan playing Kodetur first. I'm sort

284
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:11,279
of invested in that idea because yeah, I'm still trying to figure out where

285
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,039
where we could squeeze that in into
the weekly schedule, I mean Monday's.

286
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,519
Like things are going to start slowing
down here, I think for the release

287
00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:22,599
schedule as we actually get in the
summer Dragons Dogma. So maybe maybe we

288
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:25,880
could start figuring out more time in
the schedule for stuff like that, because

289
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,640
there's a couple other things that you
know, I wanted to check out.

290
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,960
I want to play Mother this year, or you know, Mother three of

291
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,640
Mommy, so I want to play
Mommy, Okay, all right, uh

292
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,799
yeah. I think my only qualms
with it is that like, oh wow,

293
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,079
this this is this just looks like
the PS two game. Huh uh,

294
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,799
and then playing it with mess and
keyboard. Maybe I should have switched

295
00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:49,519
to a controller to play this game
instead. But I think I suffered from

296
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:53,799
the thing of what Dan was alluding
to at the beginning of like this being

297
00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:59,720
lauded as like the best Star Wars
game of this generation, and then with

298
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:03,240
all the modern sensibilities that I've like
absorbed of, like oh, okay,

299
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:07,400
this is this right, it is
what it is, I mean, and

300
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:11,519
Mike's ray it's very familiar after playing
the Battlefront for the modern Battlefront games,

301
00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:15,480
turns out they were just trying to
recreate what people liked in those games.

302
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,559
Uh, but through the winds of
dice in Battlefield. So yeah, it

303
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,119
was more more familiar than I was
expecting it to be. It's funny we're

304
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,599
talking about like, you know,
Battlefront being you know for a certain age,

305
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,319
being like such a huge deal.
Do any of you like, I

306
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,599
was just thinking, like, is
there a game that I hold an extremely

307
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,960
high regard that when I look back
objectively, I probably like for me,

308
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,680
I was thinking Twist the Metal two, just because you were at the exact

309
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:41,480
right age, because I put Twist
the Metal two up there with my favorite

310
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,680
games of all time. But if
I look back objectively, it's you know,

311
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,519
it's it's very good for what it
is, but like to me,

312
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,720
it's like an old timer, Like
did you have another one that was like

313
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:57,160
I'm I'm stubborn, and uh,
it's it's very hard for me. That's

314
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,799
a doctor bottom of PC so he
was playing instead. Yeah, Well,

315
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:03,960
I'm just saying like it's hard for
me to look at any of the games

316
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,640
that I love as a kid and
being like I see why this is aged

317
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,480
badly. I'm just like, no, this is still great. This makes

318
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,920
me happy. I'm gonna look at
my top under game and see what I

319
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:17,839
think it's like the most aged.
But my joking answer is to say the

320
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,400
Bouncer. But I recognize and realize
that that is not the best game.

321
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:30,079
But no people have have criticized my
love for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance over War

322
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,799
of the Lions. I'm with you
one hundred percent. Yes, yes see

323
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,920
because I am also with you.
Yes, I actually enjoy the judge system.

324
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,039
I know a lot of people hated
it, but I don't know that's

325
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:45,279
cool. Let me throw better now, let me throw this out. And

326
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,119
I can't believe this has never once
come up as an idea. I think

327
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,200
in the like ten years ago I
started the Giant Bomb, not once has

328
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,000
it come up. Should we at
some point endeavor to get everyone on a

329
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,799
series of podcasts and determine the topundred
games of all time, like Giant Bombs

330
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,000
top one hundred games of all time? Yes, it's definitely something I've always

331
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,920
had in the back of my mind. Is like when we're doing live shows,

332
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,119
when we're doing stuff like that,
if we want to do a yes,

333
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,960
I think it's a series. I
don't think we like a live show,

334
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,960
you've got it, Like I said
back of the head of like a

335
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:21,599
possible idea. I always thought like, no, that'd be too troublesome,

336
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,799
too bit like I think we could
do like a game of the generation for

337
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:26,279
a live show, but if we're
doing our top one hundred, that a

338
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,960
series. Yes. For the second
game in form of work done was issue

339
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,519
two hundred and so like one of
the first ones that I was like in

340
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:34,039
the meetings for was the two hundred
games, the top two hundred games of

341
00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:37,079
all time, and that is a
gaunt like we didn't record any of but

342
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,599
obviously, but like it is such
a conversation if you get a bunch of

343
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,480
different people with different opinions and riding
down a ranked top two hundred of all

344
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:48,160
time. I think even just doing
like one hundred would be amazing with us,

345
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,640
how are we? I would like, how would you go about determining

346
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:55,200
it? Dan? Is it just
kind of like fervor and argumentative or that's

347
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,200
what's toughest, because I think we
landed on the legend of Zelda was number

348
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,839
one, and then like ten,
Triss and Mario brothers were two and three,

349
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,920
and so that was very much like
importance type thing, because you have

350
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,480
to set those parameters. You have
to set the like is it based on

351
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:10,079
how good they are to play today? Is based on historical importance? Is

352
00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:11,119
it based on how good it was
at the time? So, like,

353
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:17,079
I think we would have to set
those parameters very clearly and be strict to

354
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,119
them, Like like, is it
the top hundred games to play right now?

355
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,160
The top hundred most important games of
all time? Is it Giant Bomb's

356
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,400
favorite hundred games of all time?
Like, we got to figure that out.

357
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,319
There's so many different ways that it
can go, and like you know,

358
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,200
it's always like like somebody like me, Like I'll mention a lot of

359
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,319
older games. Imagine like somebody,
it'll be like, oh, that's really

360
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,039
age and then it's like, well
it's to me. It's like, well,

361
00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:37,920
what do I do with that?
Because it has an age to me?

362
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,160
So it's fine, So what am
I How do I argue that it

363
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,880
hasn't aged compared to it has age? Right? Somebody that's subjective? Do

364
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,599
you choose your favorite child when it
comes to like I would assume that tam

365
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:52,400
would present several souls games, right, So do you just take the best

366
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,119
six Mario games on there. Gonna
think most of them should be on there,

367
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,519
multiple Souls games, but like there
will be a certain player like all

368
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,519
right, not a six game.
I mean I would have probably at least

369
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:08,039
fifteen games with Mario and the title
in like eight probably. Yeah. Yep,

370
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:12,039
oh man, this sounds fun.
I already I am feeling tense thinking

371
00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,359
about it. I mean it's like
I think the idea for this would be,

372
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,240
uh, like bomb cast Revengeance episodes
over the summer, like when things

373
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:22,200
start starting as much going on.
Yeah, we do like an hour a

374
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,039
week for like a month and see
where we're at. Yeah, and we

375
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:26,680
whittle for however long the episode is, and then we leave it there we

376
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,200
pick up next week. You know
what would be fun is if we had

377
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:34,960
different casts for those different BCR episodes, so like a different group is kind

378
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,279
of determining what they're going to bring
up. Yeah, but you guys are

379
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:41,039
just gonna like take all of mine
off and like call it up. No

380
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,720
no, no, and then ye
like maybe we all get to like uh

381
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:49,599
with those different groups, we get
to like fifty. So then like we

382
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,920
see where like the vent diagram is
where we miss mosh, Well, what

383
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,200
if it what if every group does
bring in at least one hundred games and

384
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:03,720
then we have to start cutting from
there and Eurovision style one hundred Eurovision with

385
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:07,039
this guy so he never shuts up
about it. Everybody. I think there'll

386
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:11,599
be a lot of games is like
one point a lot of ties, man.

387
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,920
I think I would probably nominate an
obscene amount of GBA games that no

388
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:22,039
one's heard of, except maybe like
Nicky and Sean GBA. I've heard of

389
00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:26,119
all your weird GBA games. GBA. My favorite well, okay, maybe

390
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:32,599
not. My favorite console I think
is the GBA. Wow, we could

391
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,720
we should do like the site's favorite
console as well? Yep, I feel

392
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:44,559
like a GameCube actually thinking about Backlar's
too, Like it might be the GameCube?

393
00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:48,240
Yep? Did it for sist of
that only sold like twenty five million

394
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,599
consoles or whatever it was? Bloy
is it? Belove it now? The

395
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:59,480
other game I have listed here on
the rundown is Mario Golf. Hey you're

396
00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:03,759
playing? I thought you were playing. You're not excited? Yeah, it's

397
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,440
me playing. Talked you about it
last night. I thought you can talk.

398
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,400
It'll be so nice. My friends
can play with thee Yeah exactly.

399
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:18,359
Friends over here, No, this
is yeah. I'm playing the the ns

400
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:26,279
O game Boy Color release of Mario
Golf. I've been playing Persona three reload

401
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,960
on my roger ally every night as
my kind of bed game, and I've

402
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,559
been having a lot of fun that
I'm very deep into it, but it

403
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,480
was like I could use a bit
of a break, and boy, I

404
00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:37,720
do want to play Mario Golf,
you know, because these are the games

405
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,519
that have the fun RPG style story
mode. But more important than that,

406
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,160
it's just perfect golf mechanics. It's
not too complicated, it has everything you

407
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,839
need. And what's hilarious is like, especially playing that story mode, and

408
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,200
like, even like being quite a
bit into it, there's no Mario.

409
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,720
There's there's nothing about it that makes
it Mario. It's not like when you're

410
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,880
playing like one of the new ones
and there's mushrooms and like flooding blocks that

411
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,799
Lacketsuo's everywhere for a good while.
It's just kind of a very straightforward,

412
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:15,200
normal golf game, and I love
that about it. I don't know why

413
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:18,279
I have never like, I love
golf games. I love Tiger, I

414
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:21,960
love hotshots, everybody's golf all that
stuff. But like, despite my love

415
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,440
of Mario and even like Mario Sports
Games. That is the one series I've

416
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,440
never like really spent a lot of
time with, like Totsal Tour or any

417
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,559
of the RPG ones. Like I've
never really gone into them. And I

418
00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:34,359
love I love Mario. Okay,
I just I don't think I've given the

419
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,200
time to any of them. And
I don't know why. Uh. I

420
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,000
mean, this one's on NSL.
It's worth checking out right now. I

421
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,160
could. You would enjoy it.
Yeah, the game one color color and

422
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,519
then the three DS one is probably
the other like really good one. But

423
00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:51,799
that's when it had online functional and
you can do these awesome tournaments and stuff.

424
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:53,200
Man, that was so good.
Huh. That's great, even though

425
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,920
it's like, yeah, I say, like RPG story mode, it's not

426
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:02,079
like bow Down in that much or
dialogue. It's just like you have a

427
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,160
character, you walk around like a
clubhouse and you have to like walk to

428
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,640
the course to start the match,
and you you know, when you do

429
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:10,880
well, you get to like level
up your drive. Yeah, you get

430
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,079
experience points to make your golfer a
better golfer. And that I mean a

431
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,279
lot of that stuff is in like
modern golf games now, but this is

432
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,400
just like makes it feel like a
fun little adventure, and it's all about

433
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,400
the golfing. It's not about a
bunch of like nonsense that distracts from the

434
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,279
golfing. It's like, no,
this is still very much a golf game.

435
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,960
They nailed it right away with that, so thats for fun. We're

436
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,480
super upset with that last Mario Golf
time. Among other reasons, that's the

437
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,039
main reason is that they're they always
these days talk about, hey, there's

438
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:40,799
a new Mario Sports game, and
this one's going to have a single player

439
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:42,319
game you're going to care about.
It's going back to the thing that you

440
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:45,720
used to used to like. And
we play it and it's like, no,

441
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,720
this is also pretty terrible. It
doesn't get at the RPG stuff at

442
00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:53,799
all. And then it's actually just
these bizarre, annoying, weird mini games

443
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:56,880
like linked together one after the other. Right, And then I got some

444
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,640
incoming opinions here real quick from Alex
Yellow is apparently watching, and he says,

445
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,599
play Mario Golf on the analog.
It's amazing and a perfect for it.

446
00:29:04,759 --> 00:29:07,880
Don't do it on switch. It's
perfect on analog, says Alex bone

447
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,039
Yellow. That's that's fair too.
Yeah, sure, I'm just lazy.

448
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:15,839
I'm gonna play it on my switch. It's great. I was playing on

449
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,039
the pocket anyway. I just play
and the game Boy Advance Mario Golf is

450
00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:22,480
also the same, people, It's
Camelot. It's an RBG also also very

451
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,720
good. Yes, it has good
Would you say, like, if I

452
00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:26,799
like the look of game Boy Advance
games better, should I just go to

453
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:29,880
the If you're more game Boy Advance
brained, I just go straight to the

454
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,799
game Boy Advance one then okay vance
stor it's called right, Yeah, I

455
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,720
think I would check out the game
Boy Color one still first, and then

456
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:41,720
if you're like, oh, I
would enjoy this better if I was on

457
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:44,200
game Boy Advance, then then go
at that point, I just have such

458
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,000
I hold such a torch for those
game Boy Color games, you know.

459
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:51,480
I I acquire that analog pocket off
of Alex Bone Yellow, and I haven't

460
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:56,319
really fired it up. Like,
folks, send some recommendation away for some

461
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,839
Mario GBA games. Warware, okay, Warrior Way three on there, get

462
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,440
the Astro Get the Astro Boy game. Yeah, that's a great game.

463
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:11,279
That's a hot title. You're already
good on Tactics advance. Yeah, you

464
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:21,000
got castle Vania's are incredible. I
was. I was pleasantly surprised when I

465
00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:25,240
checked that stuntman on your pocket.
The street is amazing. I'm looking at

466
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,519
me. Driving are kind of crazy
on there. Yeah, it's pretty good.

467
00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:33,240
There was a popular fire pro that
came out at launch. M hm,

468
00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:37,480
the fire Pro. Well, that
actually takes us. You boys want

469
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:47,519
to take quick breaking break? Sure? Yep? All right? Pretty goodbye

470
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:51,720
forever, and then we'll be back
with the hot topic of this week,

471
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:56,160
which is wrestling games. Dan,
do we have any bird updates? Oh

472
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,240
my god, I just went inside
and I stopped the app. I'm so

473
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,200
sorry. I am off my game. Wow, let's see who do think

474
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,319
it's gonna pop up? First,
I'm gonna start recording. I bet Harry

475
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:14,680
Woodpecker. Okay, I'm doing We
don't actually don't have to be quiet.

476
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:17,279
It can't hear us. I would
appreciate it. It's a red wing blackbird.

477
00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:22,200
I think I said red ye.
It's the okay, folks. This

478
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:26,319
week's hot topic is the Wrestling Game
Hall of Fame, Mount Rushmore, whatever

479
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:30,039
you want to call it. But
before we get to that, before we

480
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:34,039
get to that I have some urgent
news, some semi breaking news. I

481
00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:38,359
don't know if you'll saw this,
but Twitch is going to get rid of

482
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:42,000
the watch along feature. Oh I'm
very aware. Yes, Oh they are.

483
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:47,559
I mean I knew. I knew
it was doomed. That's the thing

484
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,279
is, like I used it all
the fucking time and it was so much

485
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:52,240
fun. I love it. And
then I would look around, I'd be

486
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:53,200
like, no one's talking about this, no one's doing it, and I've

487
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,440
been waiting for this to happen.
I knew it was gonna happen. But

488
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:05,640
it's April second. I'm gonna do
water World to water World get a pop

489
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:12,240
because well, because I associate with
the theme park stage show of course.

490
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:14,680
Yeah. Well I'm gonna try to
get a few in before it goes away

491
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,000
because it really is one of my
favorite things. And uh on Twitch and

492
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,519
it sucks. I wish more people
use it. It's it seems like a

493
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,359
no brainer too. Amazon owns all
these movies. They're trying to push Prime,

494
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,920
They're trying to incorporate the switch,
Like made a lot of sense.

495
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,440
There's ways to like fudget and I
might I might try to do that in

496
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,680
the future. And because there's like
ways of where you can like sink things

497
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,480
at using chrome extensions and stuff.
I don't know. I think a lot

498
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:37,160
about that guy in the water World. He's just like some really salty,

499
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:42,319
crusted old guy on the bad guy
ship who like works in the boiler or

500
00:32:42,319 --> 00:32:45,519
something. And then like at the
end of the movie, like a bomb

501
00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:49,119
drops into his room and he looks
at it and he just goes, oh,

502
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,839
thank God before it kills him,
and every he's so relieved that his

503
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:04,160
pathetic likes about that. I think
about him constantly, but I bring it

504
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:10,839
up because maybe we should do a
net one more time, one last time.

505
00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:16,119
Yeah, the last song title the
last, but we would have to

506
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:22,200
drag someone in that hasn't seen it. Of course we can find or now

507
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:24,359
Blar has seen it. No no, no, nol seen it, but

508
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:28,960
I want to hear him be grumpy
about it as we watch it. That's

509
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,519
right, he can be on but
we also need to have people that have

510
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:36,640
not seen it. We can find
some people has Ben's Oh, I don't

511
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,880
know, if Hanson has seen it. I should have. We should do

512
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,279
it during the day. I'll have
Hanson come over and have him watched with

513
00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:45,960
us in person with me. That'd
be great. That'd be fantastic that my

514
00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:51,240
next last stand on giant bomb dot
com. Everybody, he'sn't as many people

515
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:52,920
as we can as well. Yeah, god, you'll look at an event

516
00:33:53,319 --> 00:34:00,319
maybe the last time anybody ever watches
a net watch. Lungs have not worked

517
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:01,680
on my phone for months. That's
how I knew this was gonna happen.

518
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,480
Every time I h every time I
try to look apps phone, Yes,

519
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:07,960
it would break the app on my
phone. And it was like, I'm

520
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,159
like, oh, okay, well
we'll fix this. And then I tried

521
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:13,239
it again like two weeks or later, and it didn't work. And now

522
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,760
it's been months later, I'm like, yeah, they're they're not supporting this

523
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,599
anymore. That's a that's a shame. Let's just get okay, none of

524
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:22,079
us are on it. We just
get backl Our's dad. Yeah so yeah,

525
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:24,760
sweet Lou totally. Yeah. Yeah, we just give him a microphone,

526
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,079
set them a twenty year old butt
light. Fantastic, fantas just gonna

527
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:34,679
be happy. It just sounds like
a night for him, folks. I

528
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,920
have a document in front of me
ready to add titles to the wrestling game

529
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:43,039
Hall of Fame, and earlier today
on Game This Morning's Tam fervently brought up

530
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,199
two titles that he thinks should be
added. Now. I was going to

531
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,400
back them up, but then Dan
immediately chimed in and said they don't count.

532
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,559
Those two games were deaf Jam Vendetta
and then Deaf Jam Fight for New

533
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:57,480
York. Listen, these are both
great games. I will not for smirch

534
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,920
the good name of the deaf Jam
games. They're hilarious, they are fun,

535
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:04,760
they're on that Aki engine. It
is a glimpse into what could have

536
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,400
been if if Aki kept making actual
wrestling games. But they're not wrestling games,

537
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,119
so you could maybe make more of
an argument for Bendetta. There's a

538
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:14,920
ring Fight for New York. You're
just fighting and like you know, they're

539
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,960
all backstage of soult type things.
Uh I wrestling game, I think it

540
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,519
needs to be. I think it
needs to be a licensed to shoot wrestling

541
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:28,440
game. Hmm, what I mean
that could be what we're doing here.

542
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,880
I mean, I'm okay if we're
deciding that's what we're doing here. But

543
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,639
if it's like a game like with
wrestling in it, I think def Jam

544
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:37,320
probably does because it might be a
line because like, like there's that game

545
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,880
on the GameCube based on that Pure
wrestling show that Jeff likes. What is

546
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,599
that? Yeah, Muscle, yeah, Muscle, Yes, I mean is

547
00:35:45,639 --> 00:35:46,840
a wrestling game. So I guess
we got to side right now? Is

548
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,960
it Does it have to be licensed
w W, f ww E, CW

549
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,960
or can it be anything with ring
That wouldn't I mean, Fire Pro Wrestling

550
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,119
wouldn't fall under that, So I
don't think it's true. And Fire Pro

551
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:04,320
is pro straight up for wrestling on
Saturday Masters, Like, yeah, yeah,

552
00:36:04,559 --> 00:36:07,039
maybe not that strict. How about
this? How about this that the

553
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:10,079
action has to primarily take place in
a ring? Yeah, I'm okay with

554
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:15,079
that. Simpsons Wrestling counts all right, Okay, it counts and def jam

555
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,239
vendettas at least? Yeah, okay, is in New York? Fair enough?

556
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,840
Fair enough? Yeah? Okay,
okay, okay. So whenever we're

557
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,039
doing Mount Rushmore Act, I try
to figure out, like, who's the

558
00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:30,480
Washington Uh, how do you feel
about pro pro wrestling for the ne s?

559
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,400
Yeah, it's fine, it's fine, right, yeah. Yeah.

560
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,199
A lot of these, like a
lot of these six or eight bit and

561
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,800
sixteen bit wrestling games like some of
them would be surprisely good or decent for

562
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,920
the time, and then a lot
of them were just completely wacky or wonky

563
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,199
and really like always a disappointment.
I mean the ones I started with were

564
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:57,039
raw and raw rumble on the Genesis
and Super and like there's gonna be nowhere

565
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:00,360
near the Mount rushmore like they sucked
right now. Yeah, there's like there's

566
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,000
one on the Super Tity like what
royal rumble? It's not bad. And

567
00:37:02,039 --> 00:37:06,639
then you have you know, the
Midway made arcade game, which is wrestlem

568
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:07,679
aning of the arcade game. Is
that's what you're talking about? Well,

569
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,599
yes, and then that and in
your house. They were both arcade and

570
00:37:12,519 --> 00:37:16,840
PlayStation one early PlayStation one, and
there were sixteen versions. Yeah, I

571
00:37:17,079 --> 00:37:22,159
don't make it all right. So
then the George Washington is WWF no Mercy.

572
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,000
I think it's no mercy. Yeah, so okay, and I guess

573
00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:27,880
my question is, is no mercy
sort of just represent all of those N

574
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,599
sixty four hockey games we well,
I mean they're also like this, there's

575
00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:37,079
only four spots here about that no
mercy. Okay, then let's say one

576
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,199
w F one, so it'll be
no mercy instead. Of wrestlmating A two

577
00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:43,239
thousand. But I think World Tour
in Revenge could be a different thing,

578
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,440
even though they play the same.
Yes, and I trust me like they

579
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:52,039
like to me. Yeahs ISNW Revenge
and No Mercy. They are like big

580
00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:55,519
pinnacles. But again, there's four
spots here, and there's like half of

581
00:37:55,639 --> 00:38:00,480
them gone in these very similar games
might get boiled down to just one of

582
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:04,840
them being on there, and it
might just be an over right. I

583
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,920
think there are other ones that have
to be kind of bolded pretty early on

584
00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:12,440
here I think on Here Comes the
Pain, I think Here Comes the Pain

585
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:15,599
has a legitimate chance of being on
the Mount Rush Moore, Yes, I

586
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:19,920
think so too, But may I
pause it that I think the SmackDown series,

587
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,079
actually it went on for a while
longer, and I think it really

588
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:30,280
peaked with SmackDown versus Raw two thousand
and six. The last this was right

589
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,639
when I this is when kind of
all the best features were there before it

590
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,880
sort of God became bloated when it
went to the three sixty era and they

591
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,119
started just kind of throwing crap in
here. This is also just like such

592
00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:44,360
a peak time you have Sena and
Batisa on the cover. It was really

593
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:50,000
when it was rebounding pretty big into
that ruthless aggression era. There's a personal

594
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:53,400
bias here. This was the wrestling
game that got me back into wrestling.

595
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,679
My buddy just brought this over and
it had amazing creative features. I think

596
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,159
it was the first one with like
a really robust create an entrance. But

597
00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:07,360
this is my no mercy in a
lot of ways. I mean, but

598
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:12,239
there definitely be a SmackDown representation.
I think Here Comes the Pain had create

599
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,159
an entrance, I think, but
it definitely had I think a create a

600
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,119
move thing. See that's the thing. I once you start all the years

601
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:22,280
where I wasn't really watching wrestling,
which is basically like two until nine,

602
00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:25,239
it all kind of blends together.
And I know I was reviewing these games

603
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,480
during the time, but I forget
which ones. Like one of them would

604
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,480
do a creative finisher and you could
make it like ten fast motion kicks to

605
00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:34,079
the balls and then a stunner or
whatever, and some had like a crazy

606
00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:36,320
creative entrance. But it all kind
of like, I don't know what your

607
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,559
SBR it is. It's hard to
kind of narrow that down. I just

608
00:39:38,639 --> 00:39:43,440
know Here Comes the pain despite me
not watching at the time, like that

609
00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:46,159
game was incredible. I mean I
think, yeah, here comes the Space

610
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,679
one. I remember pretty well.
You're right, it's a bunch of mutch

611
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,480
for SmackDown versus Raw. I would
have said, I think two thousand and

612
00:39:52,559 --> 00:39:57,039
seven because that's when they had analog
controls for the first time, and I

613
00:39:57,079 --> 00:39:59,360
remember that like checking that out and
being like, oh, they actually this

614
00:39:59,559 --> 00:40:01,440
works a litle bit better. But
if you guess, I don't think I

615
00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:05,440
played two thousand and six, the
ANA controls went a little far from me,

616
00:40:05,559 --> 00:40:08,000
like they put it in everything and
clean a worst submission system, like

617
00:40:08,159 --> 00:40:10,280
sure at six, I think it
was the last one, just like,

618
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:15,039
yeah, mash buttons for submissions,
and then for ever after that they were

619
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:16,719
trying to figure something else out and
then they're like, this went back,

620
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,559
I just mash buttons. Actually that
yeah, I kind of like how to

621
00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:23,000
do it now where it's like you
are mashing buttons, but it'll do the

622
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:27,880
like switching the like X circle triangle
and it'll kind of tug of war back

623
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,199
and forth, Like I like the
way to do it they do it now.

624
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,719
I would say it go ahead,
Damn no, I was gonna say

625
00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:36,840
real quick, I think in the
last at least ten years, I think

626
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,360
the only one worth considering is maybe
the most recent one, and even I

627
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,880
don't think that makes it. I
don't think two K twenty four makes it

628
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,199
on the mount rushmore. But I
think we can almost discount the last ten

629
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:52,280
years. Yeah, yeah, I
don't remember anything, any notable thing other

630
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:59,000
than I mean, standing there for
like minutes thirty years of WrestleMania in WW

631
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:02,320
two K fourteen, But I think
that's sort of deflated by them them doing

632
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,480
forty years of WrestleMania in this new
one. And I just don't think that

633
00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:08,639
fondly of two K fourteen for that
reason. And I do think two K

634
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,559
twenty four does that all better than
two K fourteen, but I also exactly

635
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,320
it has gotten better, but I
still don't think, yeah, anything like

636
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,320
I'm trying to think like twelve.
They made a big deal out of revamping

637
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,119
the engine and everything with twelve,
and I think that's when I really started

638
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:25,480
hating the wrestling games, is because
like it just felt too like they're trying

639
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,639
to be too semi It's just everyone's
going through molasses all the time. A

640
00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:32,920
lot of watching moves play out wacky
collision stuff. So I think I'm trying

641
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,960
to think the last time I really
was I think the PS two era might

642
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,280
have been the last time it was
just like, yeah, these games kick

643
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:44,039
ass. So I was gonna ask
if this counts still is in a ring

644
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:49,000
and it is licensed, WW all
Stars, it counts, I don't think.

645
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:52,920
I mean, it's here's the thing. I reviewed that and I was

646
00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:55,039
very excited about that game because it
was like I was watching at the time,

647
00:41:55,159 --> 00:42:00,440
I wanted an arcade alternative to the
more sim focused thing. It seemed

648
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:04,559
like they were absolutely going that route. But they're just there's not the content

649
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:07,440
there. There is not like the
actual like action and everything is pretty good,

650
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,599
but there's like the story mode things
or whatever are just like a couple

651
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:14,480
of stupid ladders. There's just the
content's not there to play beyond. Like

652
00:42:14,559 --> 00:42:16,360
I reviewed it and I was just
done with it, you know. I

653
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,480
think you have to have more of
a like you know, even back with

654
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:22,440
no Mercy and stuff like that,
like a real career mode and creation modes

655
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,159
and stuff like that. And All
Stars was paper thin. It was like

656
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:30,119
basically two K Battlegrounds level almost of
Thinness. That's telling yeah, it definitely.

657
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,320
I like All Stars a lot.
It was a ton of fun.

658
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,239
I am kind of surprised as the
point, and we never got an All

659
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,840
Stars too that did sort of yeah
bump up, yeah yeah. How do

660
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,599
you feel Dan about the GameCube games
sort of culminating in a Day of Reckoning

661
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:51,239
two here? So that's the key
bler one these on hand, Mike,

662
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,559
I was prepared. I have been
meaning recently to go back to that because

663
00:42:57,639 --> 00:43:00,599
you know, I love the Deadlock
boys and they speak so they they are

664
00:43:00,639 --> 00:43:02,639
the ones that like they could tell
you, oh sbr this did this and

665
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,320
this did this, and like the
rosters for that, this is what they

666
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,320
do. They're like wrestling game YouTubers. And the way they talk about Day

667
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,599
of Reckoning on the podcast is like
they hold it up there with with the

668
00:43:12,679 --> 00:43:15,199
greats. So like, I feel
like I have not put enough time in

669
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,519
a Day of Reckoning. And that
was an interesting time where PlayStation had SmackDown,

670
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:22,599
GameCube had Day of Reckoning, and
Raw was on Xbox. I owned

671
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,719
Raw, and I remember the thing
I liked about that was that you could

672
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,960
like just hold a trigger and run
and like free run and whatever direction and

673
00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:31,760
like in the past it was like
eight way, you know, like the

674
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,840
Achi engine, just like run forward, down, up, diagonally or whatever.

675
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,719
And being able to run just freely
was cool. But that's to say

676
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,480
that day of reckoning I need to
play more of I could see it being

677
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,440
a shot at the Mountain Rushmore,
but I don't know how much we have

678
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:51,559
played it. So uh jan uh. One of my big blind spots when

679
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:57,039
it comes to wrestling games is the
entirety of the Fire Pro series M and

680
00:43:57,159 --> 00:44:00,840
I feel like the audience is clamoring
for some fire Pro talk and I can't

681
00:44:01,159 --> 00:44:05,840
rightfully. I mean, the one
I remember I went back and looked at

682
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,119
this several years ago it was fire
Pro Wrestling Returns because I got curious about

683
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:13,880
the series and was this is the
one that always came up as, Oh,

684
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,519
this is the big one. And
when I went back to it,

685
00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:19,599
I mostly I watched a lot of
YouTube videos and then I played some of

686
00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:22,559
it. The thing that stands out
is they have the two D visuals,

687
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,199
and something about the way that things
animate and the way the wrestling works is

688
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,079
like really it just snaps into place
in a way that I really enjoyed.

689
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:35,320
And then it has the super super
robust, create a wrestler features, creative

690
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,159
match features where you can just do
anything, and they had that sense.

691
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:43,679
The game was you know, on
PS two in North America for the first

692
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,960
time with Fire Pro Wrestling Returns.
It is I think the wrestling game you

693
00:44:49,039 --> 00:44:53,239
think of outside of the WWE and
WCW games first is Fire Pro Wrestling,

694
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,079
and I think this is the right
Fire Pro Wrestling. I think that's right.

695
00:44:58,199 --> 00:45:00,320
I mean, I remember playing this
one the PS two in Returns when

696
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,920
it came out, and what I
loved was that it is so different from

697
00:45:05,159 --> 00:45:08,440
all the WD beams that were used
to It is so much grapple focus,

698
00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:13,760
right, and you know, because
it is sprite, the creative character stuff

699
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,559
can sort of just do more.
Right. It's way easier to swap in

700
00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:20,320
and out different face sprites than three
D models, so you can just put

701
00:45:20,599 --> 00:45:22,800
everybody in there. It already comes
with a giant roster, right, and

702
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,000
sometimes it's just straight up you know
Japanese wrestlers, or they're kind of being

703
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:30,760
cheeky like, oh that's okay,
that's obviously supposed to be Halkogan or things

704
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,960
like that. It's an important pillar
we're still making these. I think that

705
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:39,719
there should be fire Pro representation.
I have played a fire program. Yeah

706
00:45:40,159 --> 00:45:43,360
we should. We should fire that
up, Yeah we should. We should

707
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,280
have a wrestling stream. And there's
a curve. There's a difficulty curve.

708
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,199
Right. I probably got hands on
it, like when I was working at

709
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,480
funk Land and then GBA one came
out, But I think something about it

710
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:54,320
not being licensed and not having a
roster I knew, and then also the

711
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,320
isometric perspective. I think I was
like, Okay, people seem to like

712
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,320
this a lot, but like I
just I never really play. Yeah,

713
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:05,119
that's the same exact case for me. Dan. I just did not enjoy

714
00:46:05,199 --> 00:46:08,079
the look of it, but I
understand that it's all a very important place

715
00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:13,199
in history. Alex Navara really likes
the Fire pros right, yes, yes,

716
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:20,519
definitely any other nominations. Ultimate Muscle, Yes, so, I mean,

717
00:46:20,599 --> 00:46:24,360
listen, I love Ultimate Muscle,
especially the one for GameCube Ultimate Ultimate

718
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:30,159
Muscle Legends versus New Generation. It
is an acky wrestling game. It's fantastic,

719
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,159
The action is great, the characters
are a really good time. There's

720
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,960
like light creative wrestler features. Mostly
you're just taking parts and piecing them together,

721
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,480
like the head, the body,
of the legs, so that's not

722
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,599
super robust. But I think that
it's just a really fun party game on

723
00:46:46,639 --> 00:46:52,039
the GameCube with cool wrestling anime characters. And then you go look at that

724
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:54,199
show, and that show is actually
pretty good too. But I don't think

725
00:46:54,480 --> 00:47:01,480
it is a necessarily Mount rushmore worthy
because I don't think it's necessarily influential or

726
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,599
the kind of thing that people think
of when they think of wrestling games.

727
00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:07,280
First, it's just oh, that's
a good deep cut, a good hidden

728
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,639
gym in the wrestling game genre.
Let me float a question here. I'm

729
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:15,599
curious what you think about it because
we talked about the Achi games and just

730
00:47:15,679 --> 00:47:20,159
having won, but so much of
a wrestling game is playing as the wrestlers

731
00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:22,480
you like and hearing their music and
you've got the sets and everything. And

732
00:47:23,039 --> 00:47:27,159
No Mercy very much had that.
Like two thousand and one WWF, you

733
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,079
know, like Crazy Roster, you
know, played the best out of all

734
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:35,039
the Achy games. But Revenge,
when that came out, that was like

735
00:47:35,119 --> 00:47:37,960
the height of like WCW and like
it was just before it all kind of

736
00:47:38,039 --> 00:47:42,159
jumped the shark, you know,
it was in all the different factions and

737
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:45,960
everything broken down. Here's the wolf
Pack here was like really cool versions of

738
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,159
all these characters, you know,
and all these there. You could be

739
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:51,440
wolf Packsting, you could be Surfacing, you could be crow Sting had Ravens

740
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,199
Flock, had all these different factions
height of WCW type stuff. I put

741
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,760
Revenge right up there with No Mercy. Yeah, as I'm kind of looking

742
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,159
at it, I think there may
be is just a world where we do

743
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:07,239
have both No Mercy and Revenge that
they are just both so important and they

744
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,400
are kind of like two different sides
of the same coin. Of course they're

745
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,960
very similar, but even that sort
of reflects what was so fun about wrestling

746
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,280
at that time that it was,
you know, the Monday Night Wars.

747
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:22,079
We did have these two companies that
were obviously very similar but very different.

748
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,000
I definitely could see how it's just
aligned both of them in there. Especially,

749
00:48:25,039 --> 00:48:27,880
you know, I'm running, I'm
trying to think, like what else

750
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,920
would even be up for consideration this
point. Saturday Night slam Masters is fun,

751
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,519
but you know, I don't know
if I'm going to put it up

752
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:38,719
there. It's like an all times
of wrestling game. So the conundrum I'm

753
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:44,800
in is I desperately want to nominate
def Jam Vendetta because I think it does

754
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,159
a lot of interesting things in terms
of controlling and I feel like it has

755
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,559
legitimately held up in terms of how
it plays and how it's presented. It

756
00:48:53,679 --> 00:48:58,360
also does a lot of stuff differently
when it comes to the world of wrestling,

757
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,119
because it presents like how wrestling would
be viewed in like a hip hop

758
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:07,480
street urban atmosphere. And I think
it's really sick that you could suplex ludicrous

759
00:49:07,519 --> 00:49:14,800
to the ground in it. But
the problem is, I think Fight for

760
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,159
New York is such a superior game
that, in my head, Vendetta is

761
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:24,760
just lacking in yeah, right,
you know all the terms where I feel

762
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,760
like a wrestling game should be measured, and Fight for New York we disqualified

763
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:34,679
it under these specific set of rules, but we maybe could be a little

764
00:49:34,679 --> 00:49:36,679
bit less strict with that. I
do think that if we did get that

765
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,599
gym in there, because against it's
Aki, It's like, okay, well,

766
00:49:38,679 --> 00:49:45,320
at that point we can't have we
can't have no mercy and revenge a

767
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:50,039
too Achi limit. Well, but
then like if we were to include it

768
00:49:50,519 --> 00:49:52,320
Fight for New York, I think
is that is Fight for New York Another

769
00:49:52,360 --> 00:50:00,199
achy Joint. You know, Vendetta
is the third one. Weird, Yeah

770
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:04,880
you icon? We don't think of
an icon. Icon was the first time

771
00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:08,239
I have ever gotten legitimately very upset
with a game and asked my mom to

772
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,960
turn around and can we go back
to game spot so I can turn a

773
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,639
game. Yeah, you had like
time it with like the speakers and the

774
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:20,360
beats and stuff. Yet what about
what about w WE Crush Shower? It's

775
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,920
kind of disqualified. You say how
much you like twist and Metal. Look

776
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:27,320
you can get rented for seven days. Apparently this stinger says, I am

777
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,599
so happy that game exists. It
is a hilarious curiosity Jim Ross yelling about

778
00:50:30,679 --> 00:50:36,639
Undertaker getting the twisty rockets and all
that. I didn't play it much when

779
00:50:36,679 --> 00:50:38,079
it came out, and I've gone
back to it, and it's just kind

780
00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:42,559
of a funny novelty I think.
I don't think it's a great car combat

781
00:50:42,639 --> 00:50:45,280
game, but it's it's so stupid
seeing like, okay, what kind of

782
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,880
car would Binoah drive? What kind
of car would this guy drive? And

783
00:50:49,039 --> 00:50:51,400
like it's like, oh, okay, I guess yeah. I love the

784
00:50:51,519 --> 00:50:54,559
lare of it. Where Vis McMahon
had bought like every TV station, so

785
00:50:54,599 --> 00:50:59,159
he's just desperate for content, so
he just Kane has a cooking channel.

786
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,119
Yeah, of course, and that
would come true later with the w W

787
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,760
network where all those shows were actually
happening. Yeah, I U. I

788
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:12,840
think this list is probably gonna end
up looking pretty close to WWF No Mercy,

789
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,280
w C wh what was the one
you said? Revenge and revenge and

790
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,159
yes, here comes to the pain, and then here comes the pain,

791
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,480
and then I think probably flare Our
Pro Wrestling returns. So I take it

792
00:51:24,559 --> 00:51:28,360
my SmackDown versus Raw two thousand and
six. Over Here comes the Pain.

793
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,360
Speech didn't move anybody, which did
it? Did? It's just like it's

794
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,039
what are we knocked Down? It's
about Rushmore and it is definitely the more

795
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:37,840
iconic of the Spato gase. It's
important for a SmackDown game to be on

796
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:43,400
there. Yeah, that's really my
point. I guess right. Yeah,

797
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,320
it's gonna stand out there. And
we know for sure that like a bunch

798
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,000
of us played the like, whereas
I don't specifically remember that. I don't.

799
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,320
I don't doubt anything you say,
Mike, I just don't ran playing

800
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,360
it. I do remember playing the
soundtrack, by the way, all Timer

801
00:51:54,239 --> 00:52:00,400
six. What about those m Dickey
games hilarious? I called you Dicky.

802
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:05,039
They're they're very very funny, but
yeah, funny novelties, I would say,

803
00:52:05,119 --> 00:52:07,719
right, it's like more of an
homage to like the no Mercy era

804
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,400
of games, right, yeah,
yeah, the Dreamcast row Rumble sucked.

805
00:52:14,079 --> 00:52:16,119
You know, it's funny that we
haven't even mentioned the acclaim like war Zone

806
00:52:16,119 --> 00:52:19,880
and the attitude stuff, Like I
liked him. Like the first time I

807
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,400
ever remember doing a character creator in
a video game was the N sixty four

808
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,360
AF war Zone, And it's just
these games are so fun because like I

809
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,920
took a couple of years off watching
like in the mid nineties, and then

810
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,679
I picked up war Zone and like
I didn't know who Austin was at the

811
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,960
time, and then like seeing like, wait, why is you know Sean

812
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,880
Michael was saying suck it and wearing
green. That's not the Sean Michaels.

813
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,719
I know. I know they'll be
like like picking up on like where wrestling

814
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,280
is at based on wrestling games I
think is really fun. I think Warzone

815
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,280
just never did much for me because
I went to it after I had played

816
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,880
like WrestleMania two thousand, the hockey
games, and like that point, it

817
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,559
just it seems a little rough.
They're not they're not good. I don't

818
00:52:53,559 --> 00:52:55,920
think they make it on here,
but like they were very popular at the

819
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,440
time. What about what about some
of the weird other company one You've got

820
00:53:00,679 --> 00:53:05,440
the e c W game that was
on Dreamcast, another Place game, Oh

821
00:53:05,559 --> 00:53:09,000
yeah, wrestler, don't try this
at home. T NA had that Xbox

822
00:53:09,039 --> 00:53:14,360
three sixty game, and I kind
of want to play that h aw Fight

823
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:19,480
Forever which virtual wrestling for sixty four
or I'm going to make it here Mike's

824
00:53:19,519 --> 00:53:28,480
best friend Jeff Jarrett's game wrestle Quest. Oh yeahs favorite, it's not terrible,

825
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,039
sins Marine. I want to play
Impact sometime. I suggest everyone actually

826
00:53:32,079 --> 00:53:37,199
give TNA Slash Impact the chance.
Lately. The boys and girls over there

827
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,719
been tearing it up. Are they
still in an octagon? No? Six

828
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:45,039
sided? They wished that game?
Well, they changed their name back to

829
00:53:45,119 --> 00:53:49,960
TNA, so you know, maybe
I wanted to sell people do because apparently

830
00:53:50,039 --> 00:53:52,599
it was like it made for a
stiffer ring or something. I don't know.

831
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,960
There's such a weird thing with that
Impact game because isn't the thing like

832
00:53:55,119 --> 00:53:58,199
the I don't know if it's the
career mode or whatever, but you play

833
00:53:58,199 --> 00:54:01,599
as a character named Suicide that's like
a mass wrestler, and it was not

834
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,079
based on a real guy. But
then I don't know if it was a

835
00:54:05,159 --> 00:54:07,760
marketing thing in conjunction, but they
made was it like Chris Daniels are low

836
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,880
key? It was Daniels, but
as a few people, but it was

837
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,400
Daniels for sure, for sure at
one point. Yeah, so like he

838
00:54:14,519 --> 00:54:16,920
became it was a work for the
game and became a shoot on TNA.

839
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:25,559
Amazing it really all right? Kauzarian
was first, what about rumble roses?

840
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,800
Okay, I just wanted to put
it up there. It's not a pervert

841
00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:37,960
verse. It doesn't take place in
a ring, primarily a game. Yeah

842
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:44,039
too soon, man, just like
God, just give it enough legs like

843
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:47,760
a man. One of the best
elbow drops in a game ever. Uh.

844
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,519
Okay, So if we do have
no mercy, uh uh, let's

845
00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:57,239
see SmackDown, here comes the pain
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns and w g WNW

846
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,400
Revenge. What's the one? You
guys are kind of like, that's not

847
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,400
going to make it because I am
like I would like to see Ultimate Muscle

848
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,519
on there, but there's just no
way I'm going to remove any of those

849
00:55:05,559 --> 00:55:08,159
for alternate Muscle for me, Yeah, for me, it's a Fight for

850
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,119
New York. Yeah, listen,
a Fight for New York was eligible,

851
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,840
Jane, I'd be one hundred percent
with you. That's one of my favorite

852
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,519
games on the GameCube, a system
I love. Yeah. And was it

853
00:55:17,639 --> 00:55:22,559
Vendetta or Fight for New York that
was responsible for COVID? Sorry I can't

854
00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:25,480
remember, but they had Fight for
New York had the T Mobile sidekick in

855
00:55:25,559 --> 00:55:30,000
it, so it's one of the
coolest games of all time. Explain this

856
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,199
joke about the COVID. Okay,
So Alex and Vinnie were going to go

857
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,320
play Fight for New York in person
and this was like the week that everyone

858
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,480
was like, Oh, maybe you
should go home, Maybe you should stay

859
00:55:40,519 --> 00:55:44,719
home. And that was the last
in person stream from the website for a

860
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:49,719
good two and a half years.
Oh wow, Jesus. So yeah,

861
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,280
gint Bomb East, we should do
a mount rushmore games with the sidekick in

862
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,760
it. I'm on a giant Bomb
dot com and it turns out was in

863
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:00,199
Tony Hawk Ride Midnight Club, Los
Angeles, skate. It was in the

864
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,719
first skate Yeah, it was Deft
Jam for New York. So actually there's

865
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,719
your there's your Mountains Mountain right there. Yeah, I mean, given given

866
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:12,679
the strict rules that we've put on, I would also like to see Ultimate

867
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,199
Muscle because it's just a batshit game. Yeah, I just can't. I

868
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:21,840
can't abide the character designs. He
doesn't me out Asian character in there called

869
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,480
ramen Man. So maybe we shouldn't
have it on the list. Now allow

870
00:56:24,599 --> 00:56:29,400
it? Hey, hey, next
Jen, I do see I see Nikki

871
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,400
saying can we please play Tony Hawk
Ride next week? We have to play

872
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,360
it. I do have the skateboard
and the game and a three sixty.

873
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,480
That's interesting to know, Dan,
Okay, it's good to know that.

874
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:44,960
Yeah, that it's real bad.
I want if he's gonna play most control

875
00:56:45,039 --> 00:56:49,719
game. I'm desperate for him to
play the the mech game for CONNECTI Battalions

876
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,079
Bill Battalion from from Software. Let
me play the one with the cool controller.

877
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:59,039
I don't want to be the controller. The controller controller's rule. What

878
00:56:59,119 --> 00:57:04,039
do you probably try to get rid
of talking about? Yeah, I'm a

879
00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:05,920
little yeah, of course, I'm
aloth the side we don't get O six

880
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,440
in there. But that's just such
a personal thing. Uh, you know,

881
00:57:07,519 --> 00:57:12,039
the geekub games are very cool.
I kind of agree there's no room

882
00:57:12,079 --> 00:57:15,280
for them, and there's not really
like a succession line with these like there

883
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,199
is was the SmackDown, so it's
more important to get that in there.

884
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,199
But even all those, like I
even played what I the first one was

885
00:57:21,199 --> 00:57:24,920
WrestleMania eighteen, and then there's WrestleMania
in nineteen, the Day of Reckoning one,

886
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,840
which I don't have yet. Twenty
one was terrible? Did twenty one

887
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:34,000
on Xbox? That's like notoriously bad? Was that the famous bad one?

888
00:57:34,159 --> 00:57:36,679
Was? Was it twenty that was
the famous bad one? I don't know

889
00:57:36,719 --> 00:57:37,880
if they made a twenty I think
twenty one was. I think twenty one

890
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:42,199
doesn't exist because they took a year
off. No I thought I reviewed at

891
00:57:42,239 --> 00:57:45,800
the twenty one. I thought they
didn't make twenty Let me see here now,

892
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:52,760
Oh, they they made remember twenty
one podcast, there's no twenty one.

893
00:57:53,159 --> 00:57:58,840
Marino was saying twenty one had broken
online. There's no two K twenty

894
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,360
one not too Oh sorry, wait, we're mixing things up here. I

895
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:08,119
thought you were saying wrestle Mania now
two ky one. Okay, now I

896
00:58:08,159 --> 00:58:10,639
get what you're saying to skip that
year. Yeah, two K twenty one

897
00:58:10,679 --> 00:58:15,239
doesn't exist. Two K twenty was
the like super terrible one wres Yeah,

898
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,559
I'm talking about Original Xbox had a
WrestleMania twenty one that was fucking terrible.

899
00:58:19,599 --> 00:58:22,519
Oh I didn't even know that.
I thought that. I thought original Xboxes

900
00:58:22,599 --> 00:58:25,239
had Raw and Raw too. Uh
No, there's a I want to say,

901
00:58:25,239 --> 00:58:28,639
it's wrestle of twenty one on Xbox. I think I think it was

902
00:58:28,679 --> 00:58:30,840
the first wrestling game I reviewed,
and it was fucking awful. I remember.

903
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,840
Okay, well there you go.
Man. You know what's another fun

904
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,440
fact about Day of Reckoning is that
there's like a weird like alternate universe story

905
00:58:37,519 --> 00:58:42,719
mode that does actually like get followed
up in Day of Reckoning too. Is

906
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,840
that the one where you can be
like Scott Steiner and you have to blow

907
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,559
up WrestleMania. God, I hope
that's true, throwing security guards on the

908
00:58:47,559 --> 00:58:52,000
skyscraper. Yeah cool? Right,
Yeah, we should we should play that

909
00:58:52,119 --> 00:58:54,719
game. Yeah, we should play
a bunch of these old wrestling games.

910
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:59,960
That should be something we do on
the site. Yeah, I will say

911
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,480
I'm not the biggest fan of No
Mercy, but I respect it's placing all

912
00:59:02,679 --> 00:59:06,840
the pantheon of history same I actually, I mean just because I was a

913
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,440
fan of WCW, I do prefer
the WCW games. You get that on

914
00:59:09,519 --> 00:59:15,480
it. Gentlemen, we've forgotten one
very important title actually, and it's a

915
00:59:15,559 --> 00:59:23,480
license game, WWE the Mortals hal
thought it for a second. I brought

916
00:59:23,559 --> 00:59:28,000
that game up numerous times when I
worked at w dowe be like, because

917
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,400
they would bring me into meetings about
the game, something like, hey,

918
00:59:30,679 --> 00:59:31,960
make this, but make it a
non mobile game. This was cool as

919
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,719
hell, you should do this,
And they had no interest in that.

920
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,519
That's too bad because that was I
mean, it kind of is a successor

921
00:59:38,599 --> 00:59:43,719
to those Midway games in some ways. But they really should have just made

922
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,960
a sequel that was on consoles even
now, they should do that. It

923
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,000
would rule. You know. What
else I pushed for was they canceled the

924
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:52,360
game called WWE Mania, I think, and there was concept art that came

925
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,840
out. It was Vince McMahon in
a mech suit. But it was like

926
00:59:54,880 --> 01:00:00,679
a power It was like a power
Stone style like four player, like Apocalypse.

927
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,119
It was an arena Fighter with Wrestlers. It would have been about like

928
01:00:04,239 --> 01:00:07,840
early twenty tens that I got canned. I think maybe it was when THQ

929
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,840
got put under that I got canned. I'm not sure, but yeah,

930
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:14,679
there's a concept art out there of
Mex Sut McMahon and all that stuff.

931
01:00:15,119 --> 01:00:19,360
But that game seemed really cool.
But h that's right, Ellian Miracle.

932
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,199
Remember when Daniel Brian was just himself
in Immortals. Everyone else is like version

933
01:00:23,239 --> 01:00:28,119
of this guy in a T shirt? Yeah, dude in a T shirt?

934
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,440
Well, unless is there any any
other outliers that we're not thinking of

935
01:00:30,679 --> 01:00:34,480
anything we haven't brought up. I
feel like we've covered the gamut in terms

936
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,880
of like big titles. Yeah,
I feel like, yeah, I feel

937
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,320
like we're doing pretty good here,
especially again Mount Rushmore. It's not necessarily

938
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,760
best, even though I think you
can maybe argue for it is sort of

939
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:50,280
the most uh emblematic, the most
prolific debit. Do you have Betrayal the

940
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,280
one where Stephanie mcmahontt's kidnapped and you
have to beat a bunch of dudes up

941
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:57,280
to savor Yeah, that one on
that Dragon, Yeah, it is.

942
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,239
It's that it's a game Boy game
this Double Dragon? Does she kids shot

943
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:05,360
in the sequel? I don't think
so. I do enjoy the recent trajectory

944
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,119
of wrestling games because, like aw
Fight Forever, not the best game,

945
01:01:08,159 --> 01:01:12,760
but it had some decent stuff,
like some neat ideas in it. Two

946
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,119
K twenty four, Dan like you've
you've been pretty hot on it, and

947
01:01:15,239 --> 01:01:20,639
it's it's making improvements. Hopefully we'll
get to a place where wrestling games are

948
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,079
super fun for everyone. But gentlemen, are we locking this list down?

949
01:01:25,199 --> 01:01:29,639
Yeah, let's lock it in.
What's our Mount Rushmore? Janeto our Mount

950
01:01:29,719 --> 01:01:35,119
Rushmore? Jeff grub Is, WWF
No Mercy, WWE SmackDown. Here comes

952
01:01:42,159 --> 01:01:45,119
That's good. That's good. I
mean, I can't wait to the third

953
01:01:45,119 --> 01:01:52,280
game where we have to kill Mecha
mcmon mcmon, Yeah that floats off that

954
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,480
time too. Well. Folks,
thank you for joining us for a lovely

955
01:01:55,599 --> 01:02:00,159
week here at giant bomb dot com. This has been BombCast Revenge. It's

956

lost in a void of sorts. If

you missed, you pf go and
check that out. We wound up turning

960
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:22,159
it into a cooperative competitive game where
we we we helped our boy win big

961
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,559
money. Jeff Grubb is still actively
playing it right now. Even that's right.
