1
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,879
Hey everybody, it's Friday. Time
for another Giant BombCast, re Vengeance.

2
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,679
I'm your host this week. Jeff
Grubb, Janachoa, and Dan Reichert are

3
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:37,799
in Philadelphia for WrestleMania. Jeff Backlar
is almost certainly in a meeting. That

4
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,759
means I am here with Mike.
But Nati, you do like me.

5
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,759
Yeah, it's Friday snowing, though
it's messed up, but oh well,

6
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,000
it's just snowing. I have not
looked outside in a few hours because of

7
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,719
work, so it's just by you, wonderful stone, by me snowing here.

8
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:56,119
Anyways, it's like real, like
hal ish snow. I thought I

9
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,359
was going to accumulate or anything,
but it's just a it's upsciting to still

10
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,759
see the the snow particles in the
air. I don't like that. I

11
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:06,000
get excited about about April snow,
but I don't want it to stick around.

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,719
I just like the idea of it
snowing for a little bit and then

13
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:10,760
going right away. Sean Turbo,
Sean McDowell, how do you feel about

14
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,079
snow? I like snow for the
first snowfall, you know, in December

15
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,359
when you waw a white Christmas and
earthing after that, I don't want it.

16
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:22,480
I want it gone once it starts
turned into slush and everything that's bad.

17
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:26,319
Snow we got like patches of the
like the dirty snow from the snowplows

18
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,719
and everything. That's just that's rody, dude, NICKI, if it was

19
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,840
snowing where you were at and you
were already wearing shorts, would you go

20
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,519
outside in shorts to get the mail
or would you put on pants before going

21
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,879
out on a snowy day? I
it really is dependent on how long I'm

22
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,959
outside for so like to get the
mail, for sure, Like I'll go

23
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,560
out in short snow, big deal. I run hot, so it's fine.

24
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,799
But if I need to walk Barley, then I'm putting a longer pant

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,959
right on for sure. Of course. Follow up question, does Nicky know

26
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,079
what snow is? I? Yes, it's like that soap stuff that they

27
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:14,719
shoot out on Main Street. Yeah, Snope Snope who died? Yeah?

28
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,120
What a great character that guy was. Snope man accomplished exactly what they wanted

29
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:25,319
him to do. Yeah, and
an iconic uh, and then got really

30
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:29,520
mad when he just died because he
was so interesting. They had so much

31
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:37,680
to say with that character all right, Yeah, welcome to Podcast Revengeance.

32
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,439
We're gonna talk about some games that
we've been playing, catching up on that,

33
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,360
and then in the second half,
we're gonna do a fun little thing

34
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,319
where we are going going to do
a console draft for the PS one.

35
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,840
We are each of us are going
to take turns. Do we do snake

36
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:52,400
style if it's if it's four of
us, probably snake style, right,

37
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,319
probably style problem. So we're gonna
do ride the Snake. Man, Let's

38
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,199
go ride the snake as we each
pick five PM one games, and then

39
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,360
the audience the live chat here will
vote on which who they think picked the

40
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,560
five best games or the console you
would most want to play. It could

41
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:10,319
be a lot of fun. We'll
get to that here in a second.

42
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:15,639
For now, you know what I
think, I hit this button. You

43
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,960
guys hear that. No, we
hear, but don't hear it. It's

44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,840
all good, h what you've been
playing. Let's start with you, Sean,

45
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:27,800
You got any games you want to
talk about? I mean, on

46
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,759
a personal note, like didn't play
much. It's only been a couple of

47
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,240
days since I talked about this release. I will reiterate what I talked about

48
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,400
on the BombCast. I did mention
on dump Truck of all places that me

49
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,560
and my buddies played Call of Duty
the other night because in war Zone they

50
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:46,639
brought back the mode that we like
that has the mode is always there,

51
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,639
that has respawning in wars right,
resurgence. That's a lot of fun.

52
00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:53,319
But they brought back the old map
that we used to play from what is

53
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,520
this complicated situation? Now? Modern
Warfare twenty nineteen is the one. Yeah,

54
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,360
the first war Zone was based off
of that's war Zone, right,

55
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:06,199
and before that it was what was
like Blackthorn, No, yeah it was.

56
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,919
It was a blackout in black Ops
four right. Then Modern Warfare had

57
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,040
war Zone and then that plays upgraded
to war Zone two point zero. Think

58
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:17,879
Modern Warfare three. It's a whole
mess. But they brought back the good

59
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,199
map and so we hopped in there. We like doing that one because because

60
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,439
it is lower stakes, which I
know, Jeff, you like in Bottle

61
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,959
Royal, So what's high stakes?
And you have to like constantly, you

62
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,720
know, I like all flavors of
Battle Royale. My favorite is the higher

63
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:33,879
stakes one, exactly. Sure.
Yeah, we like it because it's a

64
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:40,040
smaller map and that way it also
discourages sniping because you like to be clear.

65
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,120
That's when I played those games solo
too. I like to play PUBG

66
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,439
solo with the high stakes I'm playing
with the crew, You're right, having

67
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,879
lower stakes, having people be able
to jump back in and have fun,

68
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:50,879
that's more important. So we're being
kind of the opsics. So I know

69
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,480
Pubgy is kind of the odd one
out, but most of them you can't

70
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,160
revive. So I thought you might
have liked that more when like someone can

71
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,800
revive you in certain circumstance. This
is yeah, sure, But I think

72
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,439
when I'm playing, like most crews, you're like, we're here to hang

73
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:08,560
out and someone's like on the sideline. That's fun sometimes, but most of

74
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,360
the time, everyone just wants to
be playing. So that's that's where I

75
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:13,480
lean when I'm playing with the crew. Yeah, And so that's why we

76
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,120
like Resurgence is because that way we'd
hang out and if someone does get picked

77
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,360
off randomly, it's like, okay, you know, hit hit the deck

78
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,759
like fine cover and then the twenty
second timer starts and then we just get

79
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:27,040
that person right back. And so
I think that's a fun combination of the

80
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:31,800
battle rayal formula with stuff like,
you know, like search and destroy,

81
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,800
that kind of elimination mode from standard
Call of Duty multiplayers. So yeah,

82
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,959
that's that's a lot of fun.
Though. We got the old map back

83
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:44,279
that we really like because we spent
hundreds of hours on that map reburdone,

84
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,800
So you know, I was.
I was on the ex cast earlier this

85
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,120
week. I was talking to Paris
who had h I think he did a

86
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,519
preview for this, and so he
had kind of jumped in on a lot

87
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,360
of these things, and we know
Snowbike Mike big fan of that stuff,

88
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,480
and so I was kind of getting
a little excited maybe to try it out

89
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,560
again. I'm definitely someone who spent
a lot of time with Call of Duty.

90
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,199
Is it gonna be welcoming to be
coming back in any real way?

91
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Or is it just like that Call
of Duty's Call of Duty you mean like

92
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:12,560
war zone or multi war zone specific
es war zone specific? Yeah, I

93
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,839
mean the Rebirth Island thing I think
was just for like a day or two

94
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:17,720
and now it's just in their rotation
with the other maps, So I don't

95
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,560
know. I think it's I think
it could still be fun to go back

96
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,519
to, whether you want to do
it on your own or like if we'd

97
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:27,000
want to do something that bring back
Oops, all Nicky's maybe at home,

98
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,439
so Nicky, yeah, are there
are there? Like? So, my

99
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:38,639
favorite thing about Fortnite OG when they
brought the season one map back was that,

100
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,839
like there were so many mechanical differences
in the way that they gave felt

101
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,920
like because I would I would describe
Fortnite when it first came out as feeling

102
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:51,120
like shit, like complete pass because
it was like it wasn't built to be

103
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,680
the game that it was. And
then over the course of the life the

104
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,519
game, they have tuned it to
be a good feeling third person shooter first,

105
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:04,040
like before everything else. Mechanically,
are there any big differences that you

106
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:08,279
are identifying, like the stuff that
because it's Modern war for three now as

107
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:11,360
opposed to Modern Warfare, Oh,
I guess Modern war Fare three two as

108
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,240
opposed to Model war for one two, Like does it feel different? So

109
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:24,199
war Zone two point zero, broadly
speaking, mechanically feels like a combination of

110
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:29,800
m W two, the rem m
W two and MW three's it like combines

111
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:31,560
the best of both worlds. They
just did a major updates, so it

112
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,000
really feels like MW three now and
you know we played m W three,

113
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,240
you played that multiplayer for a while
and everything, and that it just feels

114
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:44,480
good, like they just kind of
solve the formula. I think that's that's

115
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,680
the for a while. And even
when I was working on Black Ops three,

116
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:55,000
like one of my problems with it
was that like it didn't feel like

117
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,160
Call of Duty anymore. Yeah,
and like like time to Kill, like

118
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:01,720
basic stuff like time to Kill felt
off. The way that you ran felt

119
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,279
off, and like I fell off
of it, yes, because I was

120
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:09,079
working on it and didn't The last
thing I wanted to do was look at

121
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,079
a Call of Duty game. But
like, mechanically, it just didn't feel

122
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,959
good anymore to me. But when
we did play Marwa for three at the

123
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,399
end of last year, I was
like, oh, yeah, this shit

124
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,120
fucking hits like it feels good.
So I would like to I would like

125
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,639
to hop back in there. So
what Sorry really quick? Someone in chat

126
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,920
asked if that Halo Infinite Batterle Yale
is coming. I think that's canceled,

127
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,840
right, Yeah, it sounds like
it's canceled. Yeah. The last little

128
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,200
bit of news we got on that
from people who I've talked about it before,

129
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,240
have said that it sounds like it
has been fully canceled, which is,

130
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,600
you know, makes some sense because
they got they have a Halo Infinite.

131
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:46,519
They're they're running that. They're trying
to kind of improve that, and

132
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:52,399
they're having some success there. Having
a wholly separate Halo free to play multiplayer

133
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,200
thing that you have to maintain is
a lot of work. So gain that

134
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,879
game, Like even the single player, it's like, oh, it's an

135
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000
open world, it's grapping hooks fun, just like making this into some kind

136
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,159
of battle royale, and I get
like, at that time, I know

137
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,519
it was like incredibly pass and everybody's
like, oh, you're gonna add a

138
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:11,120
Battle Royale though too, but I
think it would have been really fun.

139
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,600
I'm still so fucked up. I
fucking love Halo Infinite. I think,

140
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:24,519
sorry people might, I think it's
my second, my third favorite Halo game.

141
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:30,159
I think it's Halo two Breach and
then Infinite for me. But he's

142
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:33,679
got a good taste. It's so
fucked because I have these big memories of

143
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:41,759
playing that game for review and coming
across these like big brute like they very

144
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:46,320
clearly are dungeons, Like at some
point in the design doc they're They were

145
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,519
like, we're going to have like
lost sectors like in Destiny, and we're

146
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:54,200
gonna put those in like and there
are like six of them around the map

147
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,639
and it's like very clearly like this
is a door and this is gonna open

148
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,679
up and you're gonna go inside of
it. And I was like so fucking

149
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,679
amped, and then nobody bought the
game, so it never it's never gonna

150
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,600
come. But like, there are
so many good ideas in that video game.

151
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,440
It sucks that it like came out
the way it did and like such

152
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,000
a bummer. It's it's it seems
clear that if Forge would have been there

153
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,399
at launch, it would have been
much different situations, so much very interesting

154
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,720
right now, even the way it
came out, like I get it,

155
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,960
like you can go die, being
like there's no you know, no split

156
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:33,200
screen, no co op, no
the Forge, And I was like,

157
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,039
yeah, but what I'm playing is
a lot of fun for sure. I

158
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:39,639
don't know, Yeah, a little
weird, not weirds, as long as

159
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,360
the weird of me. How it's
like people are like that's like one like

160
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:48,399
this, like Gigantic Disaster, a
game that I thought was Finn's still get

161
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:56,399
it era bother than that, still
just playing teching with friends. Eddie Gordal

162
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,080
just came out and so my buddy, if I did Eddy mixes your ship

163
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:05,159
dude, that's why. Yeah.
And so it was interesting me playing Ozu

164
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,320
Saya and Hilm playing uh Eddie because
they both have a lot of like,

165
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,120
uh, mix up game potential,
and so I have a tendency alternate between

166
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:18,159
highs and lows. Eddie does that
very well to like, because people that

167
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,720
mix up is that's the one where
you go or is this cross up when

168
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:26,039
you go over the top and you
likenes what's a mix up? Literally the

169
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,399
actual term mix up, like mixing
someone up like keeping Yeah, a lot

170
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,039
of times like if they trying to
make them think they need to block high

171
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:37,279
and they need to block low.
Specific yea so base based on the given

172
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,720
game, tricking them into thinking you're
doing one thing when you do the other,

173
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:43,600
gotcha. So yeah, like Mike
said, with technodes is usually high

174
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,799
or low guessing, Yeah, but
still fun. I yeah, Yeah,

175
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:50,240
That's the thing I was probably gonna
talk about is uh, you know,

176
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,679
since a BombCast I did beat the
techn eight story mode and had a really

177
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,120
good time. I think the highlight
for me was when we got to that

178
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,120
section where as you usea is like
I am teaming up with the corporations to

179
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,080
sell coffee. And I liked it
because it was dumb, and I liked

180
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,480
it even more because I was like
imagining how mad it would make Mike,

181
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:11,480
how much he hates this character,
and I'm like, that makes it better

182
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:15,080
for me. So just all that
stuff to get and the whole game has

183
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,879
that energy, and it is very
dumb, and I think you kind of

184
00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:20,240
have to get on its wavelength a
little bit with that stuff. But I

185
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,960
was and especially for like a stream
where we know it's going to be stupid,

186
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,480
That's why we could went back to
it after so many weeks. It's

187
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,440
like, we know this is going
to be big, dumb fun and it

188
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:33,080
was exactly that. So I really
enjoyed myself. It's a game that is,

189
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,720
like we said so many times,
has the juice looks so good,

190
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,120
the particle effects, and they really
go with it in those last final fights

191
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,080
as well. They like amp that
stuff even higher. And then all the

192
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,720
characters have are pretty cool move sets, pretty cool to jump between who who

193
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,679
you play as. I do now
have a desire now to go to the

194
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,039
Arcade Quest mode. Is that what
that is? Arcade Quest? Yeah,

195
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,679
you know it is. It's like
the true tutorial of the game. So,

196
00:12:56,919 --> 00:13:00,600
yeah, you know how Street Fire
Sex had a world Tour and it

197
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,279
was like a Shen Moose style mode
that tried to teach you the game.

198
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,679
They did a similar thing in Tech
and Aid, But I would say it's

199
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,440
even more of a tutorial because it's
smaller in scope. It's also more fun.

200
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,200
I don't know, I thought that
the World tor mode was like kind

201
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,519
of talking and had a lot of
filler for what it was. Arcade Quest

202
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:20,679
is pretty fast paced and it is
generally just hey, you get to fight

203
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,279
a lot of people and you get
to pick your character in that. As

204
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:26,639
the story mode, we have to
play as what the story wants you to

205
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:31,159
for the most part, and usually
that is gin And like you know,

206
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,399
when when we're saying it's like a
tutorial, and it is, it's not

207
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,080
like tutorial mode in a Fighting Moore. It's like like like push these buttons,

208
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,399
I push these plans, I'll go
the next totorial. They're just kind

209
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:43,399
of sprinkling in that info as you're
playing along. Yeah, it has a

210
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:48,840
literal tutory tutorial, but it's broken
up over you know, you'll go to

211
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,639
this arcade and that's what's arcade quest. You'll learn how to do these things

212
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,639
and then you'll fight a few people
using what you just learned. Now,

213
00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:58,480
like have it on screen. Hey, this is what you're learning right now.

214
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,759
Keep in mind, do these things
to try to get better at them,

215
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,320
and it just progresses you that way, and you can play Jack eight

216
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,919
Son play. Yeah, like I
know, I know Mike's cool. On

217
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,440
World Tour, remode that it did
pretty decently well with the casuals because they

218
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,639
are like, yeah, I'll make
my dumb oc run around, I'll meet

219
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,759
chun Ley and Reu and like have
a wacky time in metro City. But

220
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,399
I do think this will strike a
better balance between people like us and the

221
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,120
casuals where we can both find something
to enjoy here. And that's why I

222
00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:31,799
like the approach a lot better.
And it's just one more thing, one

223
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:35,600
more cherry on the top of tech
and a which is just a phenomenal video

224
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,519
game package. Yeah, it really
did it hit hard. He did exactly

225
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:43,200
what was supposed to. I think
I'm very happy whoere fighting games are at

226
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,120
right now, Nikki, you've been
playing anything I have, y'all hear to

227
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:56,879
track his Dogma two game just came
out. That game is fun. It

228
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:05,960
is so much crunchier then I think
I expected, and also much much cunchier

229
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,159
than like I usually like from my
games. Oh, I like it when

230
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,120
things are kind of simple, like
and I think it is like so thoroughly

231
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:20,200
a like I've talked about this on
this show before, but like, I

232
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:24,480
really need a game to respect my
time because if I'm going to like commit

233
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:26,440
to it, I need to feel
like I am getting something out of it,

234
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,159
and I will, like I used
to be very bad at this,

235
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,799
but I will bounce off of a
game so fast. I have no qualms

236
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:37,600
or quandaries about being like, ah, not for me or like not for

237
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:43,200
me right now. Right In Dragon's
Dogma two, I picked the Magic class

238
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,240
initially and it was like, Wow, this feels like shit because all all

239
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,879
you do is you stand and press
X. And I was like, I

240
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,639
don't like this. I don't think
this feels very good. And I was

241
00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:58,200
like, I was like, oh, okay, I'll try the Thief class.

242
00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:02,120
And immediately I was like, oh, this is the video game.

243
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:04,720
This is the fucking video game.
I get to climb on top of guys

244
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,480
and pick anybody up and cut them
to death. I got a move where

245
00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:14,440
I like do a fucking like I
do like seventeen flips in the air with

246
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,600
my knives, like like over my
head, and I just like cut into

247
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,320
a guy as I fall down,
which is super sick. Yesterday I was

248
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,639
fighting an ogre and everyone on my
team is a woman, and everyone was

249
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:33,679
like, hey, it seems like
this ogre hates women. Whoa Oh my

250
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:41,919
gosh, is that is that over
part of Detective? And everyone was like,

251
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,559
I don't really know what the plan
is. And then a different pawd

252
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:51,399
walked by and I was like a
dude pond and I was like, all

253
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,240
right, peace out one of these
ladies. I need someone, I need

254
00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:03,200
bait, I think, like,
so I fired her Women's sake, So

255
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,720
I fired her and then I hired
this dude. And then the dude was

256
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:12,599
like was was like able to like
to kite the guy, to kite the

257
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,000
ogre basically, and we were able
to take it out and that was so

258
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,839
nice, Like it was such like
a it was it was such a good

259
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,319
moment to be like, oh,
how do I how am I using the

260
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:29,319
systems in the game to modify this
fight actively? It felt like it felt

261
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,319
big brain, but in a way
that was very considered, like it was

262
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,480
like, you know, like it
I don't know, it felt really nice.

263
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:41,039
And then as soon as I beat
the ogre, I turned around,

264
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:44,559
then fell off a cliff and then
fell into the water, and then everyone

265
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:49,079
else was like, hey, what's
down there? And then they also they

266
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:57,480
also out to both sides, right
there's it's really clever and considered, and

267
00:17:57,519 --> 00:18:00,640
then it's dumb as hell, And
I I like both sides of that coin.

268
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:07,880
So I've been playing Dragons Dogma two. Yeah, and I'm I'm like,

269
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:15,319
I'm I'm maybe coming to terms of
like, I don't know if I

270
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:19,119
love this game. I want to. It's fun, and I think that

271
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:22,119
like the moments that can happen are
great. I think the combat's good.

272
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:29,599
I think that quest structure maybe just
like structure overall, is pretty abysmal.

273
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,960
Yes, like because it's trying to
like it's it's a game that probably should

274
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,279
be structured more like a Breath of
the Wild. And again, it seems

275
00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:40,359
to be structured more like a Skyrim
was like we're gonna give you quests.

276
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:44,759
Sometimes the question like like go sneak
into like this like prison and like free

277
00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:48,559
this person and the guards, and
I'm like, but there's no stuff system

278
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,200
right, so I don't know I
might be missing something there. But all

279
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,599
that happened was like I go down
there, they start attacking me, and

280
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,920
then if I fight the guards,
like the whole city. Do you want

281
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,359
to into me? Now? It's
like, I do you want to know

282
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,200
what it is? Do you know
what? Do you want to know what

283
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:04,720
it is? You have to dress
up. You have to dress up like

284
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:11,640
a guard. Okay, there's a
there's a box outside that has the stuff,

285
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,640
has the outfit that the guy that's
like, welcome to prison. Okay,

286
00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:22,319
okay, this is confusing odda.
As I've said on the BombCast,

287
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,279
I have many issues with this game. Those was those were one of them.

288
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,160
I remembered. I forgot to mention
that was, like why is everyone

289
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,279
attacking me while I'm down here.
It's like the dude at the top says,

290
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,599
oh, hey, you have been
given permission to answer right hand yea.

291
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,759
And the guy gives you the question
says, I have like made it

292
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:40,119
so you permission to go down there. Yeah, so I went down there

293
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,799
and everyone starts to attack me,
like excuse me. I thought I had

294
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:45,319
permission, So it was just,
yeah, I think there's such a thing

295
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:51,720
as too little sign posting, I
think, and that's the quest structure specifically,

296
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,920
is one of those things like a
game that was more like, hey,

297
00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:57,720
like you like, here's a little
intro, and then you know you're

298
00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:02,200
in this world and there's eight things
across the map that you need to do

299
00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:03,839
to beat the game, and maybe
it's like eight titans or eight things you

300
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,920
need to fight. I don't know, maybe that structre would have worked with

301
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,160
because the question, the question of
this game are its weak point by far?

302
00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:17,680
Yeah? Yes, I lost forty
five minutes on my second play session

303
00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:21,960
because I walked slightly too far away
from the guy that I was supposed to

304
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,079
be following, and I went all
the way to where we were going,

305
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,519
but because I was not in the
right spot when the quest marker switched over,

306
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,880
it didn't trigger. So I walked
for forty five real human minutes and

307
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,759
then was like, well, I'm
here and the game's not doing anything.

308
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,279
And then I was like I don't
know where he is. And then I

309
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:48,960
was like I guess I have to
walk back. So I walked back and

310
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,599
then I found him and he was
like, all right, ready to go,

311
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,440
and I was like, you motherfucker. I think this game is such

312
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,799
a fascinating made for lack of better
term case stuff of how people interpret games

313
00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:06,519
where just everyone sees Dragon's Dog with
two differently. And I'm a guy who

314
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,680
likes something a little more linear,
a little more guided, not not you

315
00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:14,240
know, not complete that maybe that's
a good way of pulling it, but

316
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,519
I do like the breath of a
wild structure of we will give you a

317
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,240
way points and nothing else. I
like that, and it just like has

318
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:26,720
the description of exactly what you need
to do, just figure out how to

319
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,400
do that thing I ain't given moment
is telling you this is your objective.

320
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:33,640
But in here I feel like it's
almost a little two hands off. I

321
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:37,880
appreciate what they're going for. I
just think they didn't stick the landing in

322
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,240
the exp It's a messy game,
is what it is. Messy. It's

323
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,839
some people like Dan, for example, love the chaos, like you said,

324
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,839
and I totally get that, and
I'm glad it's there for those people.

325
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,599
Yeah, I just couldn't get into
it ultimately, and I think they

326
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:56,359
just did themselves a disservice by trying
to force some structure of these quests into

327
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,920
that messiness. I think this would
have been much better off if it was

328
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,519
it's like you described, Mike,
just sprinkle some some like overarching quests that

329
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:06,799
you need to do and then let
players figure it out on their own.

330
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,680
That sounds ideal for the world that
they created. But I'm having a really

331
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,359
good time with it. Is the
first game formatted like this, I think

332
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,960
so, but I never play.
To my understanding, it is yeah to

333
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,319
do it, but the fact that
you can pick anybody up is sick.

334
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,519
Oh yeah, yeah, that's a
good huh yeah, I do like that's

335
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,400
funny. There's a lot of good
systems for combat and stuffing do some of

336
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,880
that. I think a lot of
the systems aren't quite as interesting for things

337
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,680
like traversal and some of these kind
of more like you know, quest based

338
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,200
things. Or maybe I'm just not
being creative for missing it. I definitely

339
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,039
am missing out because I don't have
like that Jeff or Dan chaotic And the

340
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,119
most incredible thing I saw in this
game was when Jeff like went and like

341
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,519
try to jump on a griffin that
was way too high low for him.

342
00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:57,880
Then it flew over and he went
over the city and he fell and dark

343
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:02,480
Mitch might top caught them. I'm
like, that's great. It's also something

344
00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:04,559
I never would have done, because
I'm like, like, I would be

345
00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:08,200
like, well, I'm not fighting
that, I'm too low a level exactly.

346
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,680
Yeah, I think that kind of
mindset is robbing me of the kind

347
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:17,960
of best parts of this game.
Yeah. Just change, yeah, exactly,

348
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:19,880
get a better brain. I think
the game the game just does not

349
00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:23,720
It's not malleable really all. I
mean, I think Sean, you're right

350
00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:26,480
that people see different things when they
look at it, but the game itself

351
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:30,200
does not contort to like fit different
play styles all that. Well. No,

352
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,839
yeah, that's what it is.
That's what's so weird to me for

353
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,680
a game that is so open ended, is that it does feel like,

354
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:40,559
at the end of the day,
you are you got to you gotta play

355
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,279
like a jackass. I think,
yeah, but you're also like kind of

356
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:48,079
getting to these set pieces that they've
set up. It's not necessarily like physics

357
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,680
and chemistry interacting. It's more like
we have block A and then block B

358
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,319
and like there's a little bit of
wackedness between block and Block B, but

359
00:23:56,599 --> 00:24:00,519
ultimately it's like a self contained thing
that happens. It's it's interesting. Yep.

360
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,480
I'm glad that that are there are
people who are driving with it,

361
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:07,759
and I'm not blaming anybody who's not. You know, I see uh you

362
00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:10,000
know Jordan Middler, I think he's
played like one hundred and eighty hours of

363
00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:14,880
The Crazy Get a Job. I
want to play more of it because like

364
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,559
I still want to see, like
what, like what does that game look

365
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,319
like after one hundred hours? Is
my questions, Like this is soundly very

366
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,240
different than what I'm doing. Uh, I think it's interesting anyways. Yeah,

367
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,359
but what I do like the class
system or because it is a job

368
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,200
system, so I am always kind
of like interested in like like if I

369
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,160
new jobs that I can carry over
some aspects from one job to the other.

370
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:37,039
That has probably driven me more than
anything else. And the fact that

371
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,359
like when you do come across the
psych clops or something, I do think

372
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,880
it is a lot of fun to
fight them. Ye, this is the

373
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,920
best PlayStation two game I've played this
year. Yeah, it definitely has that

374
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:53,519
PlayStation to you game. It looks
like a PlayStation two game. No Mike

375
00:24:53,640 --> 00:25:00,720
Glory, So Mike, how about
you anything you've been playing gosh? I

376
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:03,720
mean the Dragon's Dab. I actually
am like going back to FOMP Fantasy seven

377
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:10,359
Rebirth now and completing some of the
other longer quest lines. There's a proto

378
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,319
Relic Giant quest line where in each
little like open zone there's all the map

379
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,279
stuff you can do, but then
there's like the big kind of pyquest there,

380
00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:21,880
and they're often the best ones.
This is where you find the kind

381
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,720
of like clash Clash of Clans like
thing and other interesting mini games, and

382
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:32,759
also where they kind of bring back
some characters from remake and fun ways,

383
00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:37,119
and it all culminates in a really
cool moment with a kind of series favorite

384
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,599
character that I don't want to spoil
here, so trying to do that,

385
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,359
and it's like kind of big stuff. This is also like where a lot

386
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,680
of like super hard fights are that
you need to complete and I'm not even

387
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,880
sure what the reward is going to
be when I do all of this.

388
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,160
So you know, I did Queen's
Blood already and now I'm going back and

389
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:53,839
just playing through this, and man, I like Rebirth a lot. That

390
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,400
game is so much fun. That
is such a just incredible combat system,

391
00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:02,880
just just even kind of like going
around and filling out this map. Just

392
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,279
any excuse to play more of it
makes me happy. Greg. Did you

393
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,440
finish Infinite Well? I did?
Yes, really enjoyed it. Did you

394
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:14,480
pay the money? Oh? I
used my Steam account to get the levels

395
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:17,440
because I was stuck on the last
boss because I couldn't I couldn't leave to

396
00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:22,039
go do the level up. Yep, so fucking annoying. Do We talked

397
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:26,880
about this at the pacts, but
like, yeah, that fucking wall.

398
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,279
Do you like? I? It
feels like so so here here listen,

399
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,440
if you if you take both of
your teams, because it's near the end

400
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,319
of the game, it splits you
up. You have you your two teams,

401
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,240
one in Japan, one in Hawaii. And if you do the Dungeon

402
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,680
Quest the Underground Dungeon Collar section with
both of them to its completion. So

403
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:48,920
you go all the way to the
end to the special levels, special different

404
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:52,279
levels, and you do all that, you will be leveled high enough to

405
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,519
beat this game without any issue.
What sucks there is that's fun with one

406
00:26:57,599 --> 00:27:00,920
team? Yeah? Do you want
to do it? The second time,

407
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,640
the exact same thing. These like
just nondescript hallways that are procedurally generated,

408
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,680
and they're just it's it's bad,
and the combat's still good when you're fighting

409
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:11,920
anybody in this game. I still
like the combat. That's great. So

410
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,160
I did it. I like not
someone who would have done this a lot

411
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,119
and a lot of other games,
but I did it because I liked the

412
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,000
combat, but like the idea of
them taking the second team and doing that

413
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:22,599
exact same thing. When I'm near
the end of the game, something I

414
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,839
already spent sixty seventy hours in,
I didn't want to do that, and

415
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,559
I was like, I probably don't
need to, I'm probably good good enough,

416
00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:30,160
And I was not. So I
got in that final boss fight and

417
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,720
I'm, you know, I'm like
looking at him like I am either going

418
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:37,640
to have to struggle with this,
I'm gonna have to cheat engine or I

419
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:41,200
and I had already used like some
level up stuff that I realized I got

420
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,759
when I got like the special addition
of the game, Like I already used

421
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:45,720
those, so I'm screwed here.
And then I saw I could buy some

422
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,119
more, and I use my I
basically bought like a twenty dollars pack to

423
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:52,759
just upgrade everything for Cure You,
and that that made a big difference.

424
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,599
I would I wish this game like
in retrospect, like I was so high

425
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,960
on it, having such a good
time. I wish it was ten hours

426
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:07,680
shorter, like it feels like it
and it did. It's really weird.

427
00:28:07,759 --> 00:28:11,480
I only feel that now that I've
like been away from it from a for

428
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:14,319
a couple of weeks. I haven't
played it in almost a month. Maybe

429
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:19,359
yeah, but like it felt paced
well when I was in it. The

430
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:25,680
further away that I'm at, I'm
like, why you spend so you go

431
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,160
back and forth on like on fool
what things turn out to be fools errands

432
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:34,480
like narratively, and I'm like that, I get why you're doing this story

433
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:38,839
wise, but from a I'm playing
this video game perspective, it just makes

434
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,559
me it is back to that respectful
of time thing. I wasted my time

435
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,839
doing this, Like I understand that
Cure You and like and and each von

436
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,599
like I understand that this arc is
important, but like figure out how to

437
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,039
write that better. So it's a
cut scene that I watch as opposed to

438
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,920
making me do ten extra hours of
gameplay to put me to put the characters

439
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,480
in the same fucking position that they
were in before that sequence. I just

440
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:11,039
fu Yeah, so annoyingly I met
the pot where I feel like I just

441
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:15,480
need to watch the rest of that
game because I I yeah, and I

442
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,960
think that's probably completely fair. Uh, if you're feeling that way at that

443
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:21,359
point, because it's not it's not
going to change too much. The and

444
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,200
the best parts of the end of
the game are not the boss fight itself.

445
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:26,680
It is. It is definitely all
of the story, like bo Bo

446
00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:32,839
getting tied around, some great moments, the opposite rebirth. Yeah, yeah,

447
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:34,119
a little bit. Uh. Yeah. The final boss fight is like

448
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,880
against the character that you just don't
I didn't feel much for, and then

449
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:44,799
I felt much about every other boss
next and wasn't it it was like back

450
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:52,799
in Yeah, it's really weird.
It was the but but like those those

451
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,720
indiing moments are incredibly touching, incredibly
well done, so it's worth watching.

452
00:29:57,839 --> 00:30:02,720
Yeah, it keeps me going.
Yeah, The combats good enough that I

453
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,000
was okay with the pacing for most
of it. It does just that final

454
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:08,839
moment I was getting very frustrated and
honestly, you know, my privilege.

455
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:11,880
If I had to spend my real
money on that stuff, I probably would

456
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,119
have just quit it. Yeah.
So, getting very close to beating Persona

457
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,319
three reload, and like part of
me thinks I should start Infinite Wealth,

458
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,160
but I think I want to start
if if Unicor, is that what that's

459
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,799
called overlord? Overlord not overload?
Yeah, the Unicorn game probably tried that

460
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:33,839
first corn overload. I think that's
probably yeah. Oh yeah, is Kermit

461
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:41,400
winning kit did survive, although today
it is I'm not allowed to eat fish

462
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,279
because fish are MEAPs. So when
I got out my crackers in tuna tuna

463
00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:48,119
salad for lunch today, I was
yelled at from my entire lunch every bite.

464
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:56,039
Fish. Fish don't have souls.
It's okay, but they don't care

465
00:30:56,039 --> 00:31:00,359
about that. They just care about
memes, all right? Is either that's

466
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:06,680
definitely true anyway to your kids next
time I see him? Definitely Mikey made

467
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,519
me cryds any other games because we'll
talk about or should we get to those

468
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:15,359
second segment? Should we talk about
the game we just play? Yeah?

469
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:19,880
Do fucking content warning? Well,
let's talk about content warning? Say always

470
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,279
saper bompcast. But all of us
are here and we just play. How

471
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:27,000
do you feel about content warning?
The biggest game, good fucking video game

472
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:37,240
good it is It is so thoroughly
like it activates parts of the brain that

473
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,319
like Lethal Company, don't right like, and I think and I think something

474
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:45,400
that is so interesting is that it
for people who do not stream, I

475
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,400
think we have a completely different perception
of what playing video games with other people

476
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:55,240
is like, right, because we
do it for money on camera for people,

477
00:31:55,799 --> 00:32:01,880
right, Yes, But to translate
it's so smart to translate that energy

478
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:08,680
into the gameplay of the thing,
to make the player feel like they are

479
00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:15,680
creating content in a way that is
so on the nose and is like so

480
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:21,880
pointed, is so fucking funny,
Like it's just funny. And it also

481
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:27,440
gets across the idea and the feeling
of like this shit feels futile sometimes right

482
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:30,720
like it like what are we doing
down here? Like why do we have

483
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:34,559
a camera? We're gonna die,
Like we're gonna die. This thing is

484
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:38,000
gonna pick me up and throw me
into you crazy? Why are we down

485
00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:42,519
here? Was the thing that surprise
me. So, so let's let's explain

486
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:45,519
what content warning is. This is
it's Lethal Company. Yes, uh,

487
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:47,640
And if you don't know what le
Letho company is. Basically, you have

488
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:52,440
three days to go down to a
dungeon and accomplish a goal. In this

489
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,200
game, the goal is to get
views on your on your video that you

490
00:32:55,319 --> 00:33:01,920
upload to u Nikky Spooktube. Thank
you upload to that website and and then

491
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,359
you That is based on the footage
you get yourself from a camera that you

492
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,119
physically take down into the underworld.
And the goal is it's on the top

493
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,440
of your screen says record something spooky
or something like that, record something scary,

494
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:19,200
and so you point the camera around
and it has limited amount of footage.

495
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:23,440
So what surprised me is how well
that works, because I was like,

496
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:28,400
is it gonna algorithmically take your footage
and stitch together the parts where we

497
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,880
were the loudest or whatever it like. No, it's just the raw what

498
00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:37,039
you recorded and every single time,
and it's because you know, it's because

499
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:38,720
it's us and we're having a good
time with one another. And so the

500
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:43,359
moment of like just a oh,
you recorded for two seconds and someone ran

501
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,119
across the screen. That's funny to
me still, but overall it worked.

502
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:50,839
Even it works better than on that
level. It's like these are like genuinely

503
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,839
funny clips that I was really surprised
they worked that well. So the idea

504
00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:58,160
of you having to get this camera
back, upload this footage, that being

505
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,200
the goal. It creates this strong
like we did all this work to get

506
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:05,519
that footage. I want to get
that camera back. That means a lot

507
00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:07,519
to me and that so it like
it does build up this like level of

508
00:34:07,599 --> 00:34:10,960
stakes, and then the reward is
everyone gets to sit down on the couch,

509
00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:15,320
watch the video and laugh because it
is really funny. That's just really

510
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,719
impressive. That is I think,
really it right like my and I didn't

511
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,960
even realize it was an issue that
I had with Lethal Company. Failure in

512
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:30,239
Lethal Company felt punitive right in a
way where it's like that's fine for some

513
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,239
people, but for me, in
a game that is as silly as Lethal

514
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:39,599
Company is, it didn't feel like
the the punishment fit the crime of dying.

515
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,199
In this there the stakes are solo
if you die, like it doesn't

516
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,599
really make a difference. You pay
like eight dollars or whatever when you come

517
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:53,119
back, or zero dollars, like
you can't go into negatives, like you

518
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:58,199
pay zero dollars if you don't have
any money when you die and like you

519
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:04,559
get Even if you fail and don't
bring anything back, you can still go

520
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,119
back and pick up the camera,
which is really cool. You can still

521
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,480
export the video out, which I
think is like such a good touch.

522
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:17,039
I just think it's really smart.
It's so smart. It's nice that they

523
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:22,840
can your source of income to move
on to the next days is condensed down

524
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,880
to one thing. Yes, So
in a lethal company, you everyone could

525
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,159
be carrying these you know, medium
wealth objects and you're like, okay,

526
00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:34,719
cool, we're gonna hit quota.
Someone dies, well it's gone air screwed

527
00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:39,039
in content warning. If someone dies
and they were holding the camera but the

528
00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:43,280
camera is still accessible, you just
be all right, someone distract this guy.

529
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:45,239
Then we go grab the camera,
get the camera out of there,

530
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,320
record a little bit more for funzies, and then you know, we'll still

531
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:52,159
get our cash. Yeah, and
it does two things, Like, you

532
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,360
know, the object of power that
you have to recover, it's not like

533
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,159
I don't know what he was holding
or what it looked like a lethal company

534
00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:02,280
whatever. And we have the capacity
to pick that up and carry it back

535
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,039
where we might not have had the
carry capacity in lethal company. Yeah,

536
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:08,199
just the tools that gives you to
like have fun with its own loop.

537
00:36:08,519 --> 00:36:10,800
Like it's like, yeah, you're
making videos, so here's a green screen

538
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,719
where you can have different backdrops and
yeah, you can buy a boom mic

539
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,599
and a clapper and oh yeah,
like Jeff, you were holding them mic

540
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:21,880
usually. So I actually don't know
if you know how this works. But

541
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,800
so first of all, the game
has proximity chat like Lethal Company, which

542
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,159
is just it's hilarious every time game
use it. When you are using a

543
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,719
microphone, your voice becomes clear to
us in the in game chat. Whoa,

544
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,199
So it's no longer proximity chat.
We just like hear you, like

545
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,599
we have headphones on or something.
Whoa, Okay, that's neat. If

546
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:44,119
you stick the boom mic in from
someone, their voice becomes clear. Wow.

547
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:50,000
That god. Proximity chat is a
like s tier feature for me these

548
00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:52,599
days. So within a game,
I'm gonna be way more interested than I

549
00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:57,400
would be otherwise. So just very
happy that we're getting multiple games down to

550
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,280
that are taking advantage. We've come
so far from killing someone in Halo or

551
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,519
was it Call of Duty where it
would give you a snippet of the person.

552
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,119
Is still the audio? Yeah,
that does it's still do you know

553
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:14,000
what the trend is right now is
uh is if you're an older fella and

554
00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:15,920
you get killing the game, you
go, ah, you got me,

555
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:22,519
and all the all these young people
are like, oh oh no, terrible.

556
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,079
Oh he just came home from work
and he got a minute away from

557
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:30,079
his kids. Oh I am a
piece of ship for killing this old man.

558
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:32,079
It's great. That's the best.
I'm like now whenever I get killed

559
00:37:32,079 --> 00:37:35,559
one of these games. Ah,
yeah, got me, son? Yeah?

560
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,880
All right, you know what that
that's a good amount of conversation about

561
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,039
video games. We're gonna take a
quick break. When we get back.

562
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:44,719
We are going to do our PS
one console draft stick around. You're not

563
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,079
gonna want to miss it. I'll
put it up on Twitter as well.

564
00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:49,559
The results of that so are the
Pulse. You can vote there if you

565
00:37:49,559 --> 00:37:52,679
want. If you're listening with chat
chat chat right now, don't no suggestions.

566
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,039
We're going to try to their noggins, and don't don't be spouting out

567
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:59,599
your favorite games, because we have
to read your chats to make sure you're

568
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:01,000
all being cool. And we know
you're cool, but still be cool.

569
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:12,239
All right, right back after this, All right, let's get right for

570
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:17,119
beaten memories. Jesus Christ. We
need to find who's going first, Sean,

571
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:21,119
do you have a method? Yes? Do you have a document or

572
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,199
of some sort of or we will
be honest with the document going while you

573
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,679
are figuring that out. Yeah,
okay, yeah, make sure make sure

574
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,119
we see it too. So if
you like Discord, beam it to us,

575
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:30,920
it would be great. Yes,
let me figure that out. I

576
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,719
will make that happen right now.
So I hate to say it, but

577
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:39,960
the order will be Mike, then
Jeff, then Me, then Nicki,

578
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,119
and we're gonna do and we're gonna
do a snake order, so NICKI will

579
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:50,119
pick twice and then we'll go back
our way and so on. So if

580
00:38:50,159 --> 00:38:53,320
anyone doesn't know what we're doing here, doesn't quite understand the concept because it's,

581
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,360
you know, we're basically ripping out
fantasy sports. What we're gonna do

582
00:38:58,199 --> 00:39:00,880
is we're gonna go down the line
and we're gonna pick today the theme is

583
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,159
PS one. We're gonna pick a
PS one game. Expersson picks a PS

584
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:08,119
one game where he's gonna end up
picking five. You, the audience,

585
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:13,000
need to pick who has the best
imaginary PS one You can only play the

586
00:39:13,199 --> 00:39:15,880
one you want to play the PS
one games. Yeah, so which of

587
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,840
these imaginary consoles that we are creating
here is the one that you most want

588
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,519
to play? And the reason we're
doing this we're in the PS one right

589
00:39:22,519 --> 00:39:23,199
now. We're all kind of like, I'm at least I'm going to kick

590
00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:27,559
the PS one, I know,
Mike Gaze, Yeah yeah, And I

591
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:30,599
think it's a fun way to sort
of remember these games. It's also fun

592
00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:34,440
to like sort of do this thing
where like what matters to a voting audience

593
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:37,599
because it is it like just name
recognition or is it the best games or

594
00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:40,440
the most eclectic mix and trying to
figure it out what that is. I

595
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,199
don't know. There something fun about
this, So I really enjoy it because

596
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:46,480
like my favorite game is a PS
one game, Mega Man Legends, And

597
00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:52,039
I know people wouldn't pick a console
based on that because Megan Man Legends.

598
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:58,199
Yeah. Yeah, Well I was
gonna say something I forget now, so

599
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,039
don't worry about it. Well,
just a little bit, like the poll

600
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:05,960
is going to be in a like
the Giant Bob website chat, so you

601
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,159
know the describers in that chet.
So if you're on Twitch and everything you

602
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:14,079
can to hang tight for the results
there. Yeah, all right, I'm

603
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:19,320
sure you can. I make it
so, okay, you're recording my voice.

604
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,679
There go, you all are back, and now I will bring it

605
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,000
up for the chat. I wonder
if it might be it might have been

606
00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:30,440
a benefit to be foro it to
get the Snake, Like I could say

607
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,239
the Snake is huge here, I
think because like a lot of like I'm

608
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,639
gonna get I'm obviously gonna get a
really big game, but then a lot

609
00:40:35,679 --> 00:40:37,280
of the other heavy hitters are going
to go before. That's a good point

610
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,599
because there's like there are I think
there's about there are two three games on

611
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,000
PlayStation one that all could be like
number one, right, like you're kind

612
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:52,119
of you're kind of taking a chance. Definitely, I will get like I

613
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:53,440
said, I will get this up
on the screen right now. But Mike,

614
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,239
if you want to get started and
feel free, Yeah, Metal Gear

615
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:06,440
Solid the number one, Okay,
yeah that is yeah, yeah, all

616
00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:10,159
time all time Classics. I played
that game for the first time. Was

617
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,599
it two years ago? I think
like in Fall, you know, I

618
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:16,199
had played bits and pieces in Passing, but it was a little you know,

619
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,960
it's an em erated game when I
was a kid, so I didn't

620
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:23,679
play it anywhere near when I came
out. That game just has an aged

621
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,880
goddamn day like you know, wobbly
PS one graphics and everything, but otherwise

622
00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:36,559
that constrained presentation. That's what everything
to me. Yeah, that's why I

623
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:45,280
got them glasses Darby all right,
Yes, it's me all right. So

624
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,239
Mike picked Metal Gear Solid. God, I wish I could have picked Metal

625
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,559
Gear Solid. I'm gonna I'm gonna
go with Final Fantasy I think, yeah,

626
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,119
yeah, I think you know what. I was like worried because I'm

627
00:41:59,119 --> 00:42:00,880
like, oh, the new one, maybe that like D two, defends

628
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,679
this one a little bit. But
actually just seeing the words Final Fantasy seven,

629
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:07,840
I bet it's gonna do a lot
for people. All Right, well,

630
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,559
I I gotta do. I think
probably the last of the big big

631
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:21,239
three Castlevania Symphony A Night you fool, you absolute fool. All right,

632
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:27,320
there we go. Yes, I
sean for that one, like you are

633
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,159
you worried that it's like that people
like, oh that doesn't feel as important

634
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:32,159
as some of these other games,
because I would I think I would have

635
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:36,639
picked it there, but I'm like
worried that it doesn't have the bizaz for

636
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,559
some people. I think it just
depends. It depends on the person how

637
00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:43,480
important that game is to them.
Like, I'm not a Castlevania guy,

638
00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:47,360
so like personally I went to be
and picked that out myself, but or

639
00:42:47,519 --> 00:42:51,360
Final Fantasy seven. But I know
how important that is to a lot of

640
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,559
people. So I think that,
like again, rounds out sort of the

641
00:42:53,679 --> 00:43:00,320
trilogy of the big PS one games
makes sense. Uh, Nikki, you

642
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:08,199
have to Tony Hawk per Skater too. Yeah, that's good. Nice thick

643
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:14,800
your Yu Gil game, you coward, you won't I considered it. Listen,

644
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,320
the last time I did a the
last time I did a comedy pick,

645
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:25,519
it went so poorly for me.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm

646
00:43:25,639 --> 00:43:34,599
really deliberating here because you say you
don't want to say out loud like the

647
00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:38,559
two chat no recommendations in chat I
know. Oh yeah, no, I'm

648
00:43:38,599 --> 00:43:45,199
not looking at chat. I think
I'm going to go with fuck dude,

649
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,840
pressures on. I'm gonna go Crash
Team Racing, which is probably interesting for

650
00:43:55,039 --> 00:44:00,280
the main line one. Yeah,
team Racing, Okay, Crash Amazing any

651
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:06,039
Crash Radio that ever, I guess
I can't pay Crush because I can't.

652
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:15,159
It's not like a Crash bandicoot too
for car racers. You're my people.

653
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:22,320
Definitely remember CTR more fond right now? Yeah than Crash than Crade. No,

654
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,239
No, I'm serious. I'm not
playing it at all. I know

655
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:29,880
CTR is very well thought of,
but like I like, I don't know,

656
00:44:30,119 --> 00:44:31,840
I feel like if you had like
the CTR rebake and just the Crash

657
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,679
Tew rebake, I don't know,
I feel like the Crash to Keeping keep

658
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,559
in mind, Mike, keep in
mind, this is never about quality.

659
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,519
This is about nostalogy. I know, I know, all right, So

660
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:47,800
I'm gonna inject a little bit of
variety here. I'm going Resident Evil to

661
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:52,159
Nah I wanted, Yeah, I
know you did. That's why I take

662
00:44:52,159 --> 00:45:00,960
it rid of me. They did
at least God all right. That does

663
00:45:01,119 --> 00:45:07,400
put me in a funky position.
But I think actually the smart move here

664
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:09,840
is just to not get derailed by
a pick like that. I will just

665
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,960
go with Resident Evil one. There
you go, maybe in a Resident Evil

666
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,360
one. Actually I thought it was
like Street Far and they started it too.

667
00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:24,280
Uh. I will get Final Fantasy
and nine. It's maybe not quite

668
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,000
as popular as seven, but I
think it's a lot of people's favorites.

669
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:34,519
All right, Oh, now it
stakes back to me. Actually, I've

670
00:45:34,519 --> 00:45:37,079
only been thinking about one game this
entire time. I wish I was speaking

671
00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:42,840
more forward thinking than that. Oh
it could be do I Well, okay,

672
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:49,800
okay, I think I do want
a platform er. Now the question

673
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:55,639
is which one would I actually want
to go for if that is the case

674
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:07,360
or Oh no, calm down,
mike. Uh okay, I think I

675
00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:14,480
will go with Spiral two. That
was literally that was literally gonna be my

676
00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:17,320
pick. God, I think that's
the best platform on the PS one.

677
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,760
Uh, this is so tough.
What do I want to do? That's

678
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,519
like a recognizable name, but I
don't know how people feel about it.

679
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:37,880
Oh, I'm thinking so many other
ones I want now more Instead, it's

680
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:43,639
not a terrible pick. I could
no more. Let's see, do I

681
00:46:43,679 --> 00:46:49,639
already have that? Do I want
to do that? Do it? I'm

682
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:55,280
thinking of another RPG? Yeah?
That's like, hmm, you know what,

683
00:46:55,519 --> 00:46:59,039
maybe maybe you guys won't pick that
one. Actually there's a chance,

684
00:46:59,119 --> 00:47:02,480
okay to me, risk, right, it's a risk. I don't want

685
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:09,199
that one yet, So I think
I think I might go with a fighting

686
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,239
game. I'm gonna go with taking
three, you are a bit of the

687
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:19,559
whole world knows that the three is
on the board and I'm taking Spiral.

688
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,239
No. Yeah, taken three feels
right. That felt It feels good when

689
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:27,119
you guys yell at me immediately,
it feels real nice. God damn it.

690
00:47:28,039 --> 00:47:30,800
All right, Well, guess what
ship Head Vagrant story? Give it

691
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:37,679
to me. That's kind of take
story rules rules so hard, all right,

692
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:42,159
Nikki two for you, it's a
See. The thing that is so

693
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,199
hard about this is like the games
that I had on the PlayStation one.

694
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,239
And it's a console, and you
could like pick like like ten games and

695
00:47:54,639 --> 00:47:57,679
they could be awesome, and they
could be the games that people never even

696
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,400
think of on the PlayStation, like
did anybody play cool Boarders or cool Boarders?

697
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:09,280
True? Like those games are great
to me. Yeah, I think

698
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:15,400
that with my first pick, this
is silly, but I hope we can

699
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:23,519
follow. I'm going to pick Namco
Museum. Hell yeah, the first volume

700
00:48:23,599 --> 00:48:30,239
one volume one baby, yeah,
hell yeah, the n and then I

701
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:42,559
think and that volume I think that
I think spider Man yeah, very good.

702
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,559
Yeah. Wow, I'm going to
run to the restroom very fast.

703
00:48:46,519 --> 00:48:52,400
Think about your one last game.
I need to round out my list a

704
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:55,159
little bit more, I think,
and I think the next one to go

705
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,880
with. There's a couple of ways
this could go, but I think the

706
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:12,480
one that will get the most appeal
Grant Trismo to sh Yes, yeah,

707
00:49:13,559 --> 00:49:17,199
yeah, Grant does have its fans
for sure. Yeah, the system it's

708
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,519
yeah, but I know today like
yeah, yeah. That's why I picked

709
00:49:22,519 --> 00:49:25,480
it later because I'm like, the
nostalgia isn't quite there because the sim racer.

710
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,119
But I think it's a solid entry
that'll get some people in. So

711
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:35,159
I will go with Twisted Metal too. Okay, Okay, I think that's

712
00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:37,880
I think that's the name that will
like splash for enough people that they'll be

713
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,920
like, this looks like a strong
list because of that, all right,

714
00:49:43,039 --> 00:49:50,880
I'm gonna get another. There's a
couple of jeres I could take. There's

715
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,639
one that I think is more acclaimed
and one I think is more popular.

716
00:49:52,679 --> 00:50:00,400
So I'm gonna go with the more
popular one. Someone Yeah, I took

717
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,400
the second one very upset. That's
good because the best one is the third

718
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,920
one. I take the two games. Now, Okay, what show the

719
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,480
Jereviches do I want? I'm not
gonna get two jerrypgs Now we gonna get

720
00:50:12,519 --> 00:50:17,360
Jeipye something else A few on there. Oh, I can't. I don't

721
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,400
think I want to Final Fantasy games. I think it's not I think that

722
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,840
looks a little bland. So I
think I'm gonna go Zeno Gears. I

723
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:29,280
hadn't even considered zero Gears. That's
a good I'll still talk about singers all

724
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,119
the time. That's that's like a
vagrant story kind of thing where if you

725
00:50:31,159 --> 00:50:34,400
know, you know, and that's
good. Yeah. I was gonna go

726
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,159
for you know, I can't get
Grid with too. I'll just get the

727
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,159
actual better race of game, hopefully
everybody else people are getting. I'll get

728
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,719
Rid Racer Type four. I got
it. Yeah, I knew we would

729
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,679
end up there eventually. I said, this is a really good list.

730
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:51,960
I think, really strong list,
very strong. Yeah, shoot god,

731
00:50:52,039 --> 00:50:55,480
it feels like nothing is a great
fit. But and I yeah, maybe

732
00:50:55,480 --> 00:51:00,920
I don't want two Final Fantasies either, So does anyone care about that?

733
00:51:01,079 --> 00:51:06,400
I feel like, had it not
gotten re released, I think that would

734
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,400
have been better then. But you
know what, I wanted to go with

735
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:15,559
something funky, I think for the
last pick, so I think I will

736
00:51:15,639 --> 00:51:22,880
go with mister Domino. Yeah,
mister Mosquito. Actually no, I'm gonna

737
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:30,519
go with Solid Solid. I think
that's again a name that I think is

738
00:51:30,559 --> 00:51:32,239
like got some appeal when you just
let glance out like that, that makes

739
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:37,639
things up, all right, you're
gonna go for the fame. Yeah,

740
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:42,440
I want. I wanted, Okay, so I wanted to diverse file a

741
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,760
little here. I didn't want to
double up, but I'm doubling up on

742
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:51,920
a genre here technically, although they're
very different. Uh foul Fancy Tactics.

743
00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:54,360
Yeah, that's that's the one I
was thinking about for very too good to

744
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,440
ignore. It's very good, and
I I just it's like a too fond

745
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,480
fancy on my list might look weird, but with only five games, Yeah,

746
00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:06,320
I agree. Yeah, I would
have liked a platform there in hindsight,

747
00:52:06,519 --> 00:52:07,800
if you know, I didn't realize
you guys weren't gonna take it.

748
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,559
So maybe we'll put like a platform
in stuff vagrant story. But you know,

749
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:13,280
I'm still I'm still happy with it, I guess. Yeah. I

750
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:19,000
was close to picking final Fantasy Tactics
since like pick three for sure, uh,

751
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,280
nikky, last one, my last
freaking pick. Let me get the

752
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:28,079
poll ready, I want to take
you for I can't believe no one's picked

753
00:52:28,159 --> 00:52:34,000
Legend Legend of Dragoon. Yeah,
what a shock. No one said Digimond

754
00:52:34,039 --> 00:52:45,119
World three either. Hm hmm,
man, this is it. You can

755
00:52:45,159 --> 00:52:46,920
you can talk it out now,
you don't worry about it. Yeah,

756
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,599
that's so big ray Man though.
You know, people love that guy.

757
00:52:53,519 --> 00:52:58,920
I love on the PlayStation one,
and then I played it on the Game

758
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,000
Boy Advance and was like, I
think this is the same game. That's

759
00:53:01,039 --> 00:53:09,039
because it was the same game that
had me fucked up because I spent money

760
00:53:09,079 --> 00:53:16,320
on it not knowing that it was
the same game. I'm trying to decide

761
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:22,519
if I want another sports title like
Hotshots Golf means a lot to me.

762
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:27,239
That game is really fucking good.
When the ball goes in the lake,

763
00:53:27,639 --> 00:53:37,920
the guy goes swimming in the lake, and in my head, forever Medieval

764
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:43,559
would be funny here. That was
a big game at the time. You

765
00:53:43,679 --> 00:53:45,000
know what's funny. It was like
one of the best selling Placetation one games

766
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,840
that none of us would put on. Is that Frogger remake? That game

767
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:55,480
I had that it was everyone had
that game. It was the Giant Cellar.

768
00:53:55,599 --> 00:53:59,760
For some reason, I think because
at one point it was like five

769
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,920
and the Frogger brand was actually surprisingly
powerful. Then for some reason, still

770
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,440
a lot of power behind the Frogger
bran. It was weird. It was

771
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:15,679
a different time. Oh man,
this is hard y'all got, Nikki what

772
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:20,960
you got? Yeah? I know
the magic clock is starting an NFL Blitz.

773
00:54:22,039 --> 00:54:27,440
Hell yeah, you get to play
NFL Blitz. You know that's kind

774
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,719
of by logical. Tony Oks pro
Skater to Crash Team racing NFL Blitz.

775
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:36,239
I got Solid, man. I
wish I was upset when you picked Tony

776
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,199
Oks pros Skater too, because that
was going to be my next pick.

777
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:43,360
All right, Uh, everyone's going
to read their own list for audio listeners,

778
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,000
starting now with Mike, and again
you're gonna hear this and you can

779
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:50,800
only pick one of these systems and
you're gonna play these games. So Mike,

780
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,639
why don't you go ahead and read
your list. On the Mike's station,

781
00:54:54,239 --> 00:55:00,719
You've got Metal Gear Solid Final Fantasy
nine, Spiro two, Ripto's Revenge,

782
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:08,159
Zeno Gears, and ridg Racer Type
four On the PS, jeffs It's

783
00:55:08,519 --> 00:55:15,000
Final Fantasy seven, Resident Evil Tech
In three, Twisted Metal two and PaRappa

784
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:20,360
the Rapper on the The Pocket Show, and I'm going obscurely. We got

785
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,719
the Castle Vania Symphony, A Night, Resident Evil two, Vagrant Story,

786
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:30,880
Grant Turismo two and Final Fantasy Tactics
games. And on my console called the

787
00:55:31,159 --> 00:55:35,039
End Gage, which is the first
time any thing's ever been called that.

788
00:55:35,559 --> 00:55:39,280
I've gotten Tony Hawks, fre A
Skater to Crash Team Racing, Namco Museum

789
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:45,760
Volume one, Spider Man, and
the NFL Blitz. I think no matter

790
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,079
who wins, we can all agree
Mike's console is the boomer console, right,

791
00:55:49,199 --> 00:55:52,079
I mean, yeah, oh yeah. So I ran a poll.

792
00:55:52,119 --> 00:55:53,159
People are saying it kind of went
too fast. I should give Hi more

793
00:55:53,159 --> 00:55:55,239
of a warning. So I'm going
to start a new poll right now everybody,

794
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,159
so be sure you go in there
and vote. Starting now. It's

795
00:56:00,159 --> 00:56:06,480
going to go fast thirty seconds to
I think, here, well, what's

796
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,039
going on? Do you guys have
anyones that you were like thinking about that

797
00:56:08,119 --> 00:56:10,360
didn't make it? Because I had. While we were doing the intro,

798
00:56:10,519 --> 00:56:14,559
I was like just jotting down games
real quick so I wouldn't forget. And

799
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:22,719
there's like there's Chrono Cross, There's
was on there for me. Yeah.

800
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:28,400
Sweek it in was like the other
jerrygos Baby thinking into the parent parasite Eve

801
00:56:28,519 --> 00:56:34,480
is very was one mega man X
four I was considering there. Talk about

802
00:56:34,639 --> 00:56:37,400
Dino crisis a lot these days.
I don't know how much they actually like

803
00:56:37,559 --> 00:56:39,760
Dino Crisis. No, No,
it's not super popular. No, it's

804
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:45,800
just it's more of a small contingency
there. But there was escape. Escape

805
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:51,400
would have begright results though. You
build up here, Yeah, go juicy

806
00:56:51,519 --> 00:56:53,519
results. Go we go maybe last
to first or something like that. Yeah,

807
00:56:53,559 --> 00:56:55,960
yeah, we got a lot.
Look, we got a lot riding

808
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,800
on this. Everybody's very anxious.
I don't mean to drag it out.

809
00:57:00,159 --> 00:57:01,360
We should all just sit here and
think about what's going to mean to us

810
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:08,760
if we fucking lose. It's going
to ruin the whole weekend off and last

811
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:14,599
place. In fourth place with fifteen
votes, it is the Nikky Station.

812
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:21,360
Let's go Costole. You know it's
going to go down in history as a

813
00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:30,119
as a fan favorite. Yea.
In third place with eighteen votes, it's

814
00:57:30,199 --> 00:57:35,039
the grub Station Group Station. Where
do you think maybe you fall? Because

815
00:57:35,039 --> 00:57:37,199
it looks like a pretty good list. Where do you think maybe you faltered?

816
00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:42,960
I think I think you, Picky
Medle, Your solid kind of made

817
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,760
me like I want to go Final
Fantasy seven. I actually don't know how

818
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,440
hard Final Fantasy seven hits on a
list like this because you are surrounded by

819
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,840
all these I know it hits,
but I don't know if it's like if

820
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,239
it hits number one as hard as
it could have, and then I had

821
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,960
to wait like the loop all the
way around. I don't know. I

822
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,840
feel like I was in like one
of the weakest positions there a little.

823
00:58:00,039 --> 00:58:01,960
Do you think maybe because Resident Evil
right after Resuble two is a little uh

824
00:58:02,039 --> 00:58:06,679
yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, after Resival two, like I was

825
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,599
like hoping to God that Rezuvle two
would fall to me, and when that

826
00:58:08,599 --> 00:58:10,760
didn't happen, that didn't go well
either. So yeah, I think it's

827
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,760
like in that those first couple of
picks. I think my last three picks

828
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,079
were pretty strong. I think it's
the first two don't actually fit very well.

829
00:58:17,159 --> 00:58:21,079
I think maybe PaRappa only gets you
so far these days. I think

830
00:58:21,239 --> 00:58:23,639
I see Twisted mel two only gets
you so far as well. That's that's

831
00:58:23,679 --> 00:58:27,440
messed up that that's the case,
But that might be true. Huh yeah,

832
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,199
I mean, yeah, for sure, I would have picked Grand Trismo

833
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,920
two as well. So yeah,
ad vote with that at least right yes,

834
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:43,440
in second place with twenty four votes, it's the mic station. Mike,

835
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:45,679
well done. Where do you think
you maybe uh list out on an

836
00:58:45,679 --> 00:58:50,119
opportunity to get first place? Yeah, Mike, I think if I to

837
00:58:50,199 --> 00:58:53,039
Biro two, I think that that
would been a great time to take Tech

838
00:58:53,079 --> 00:58:58,480
and three ork rent Chrisma two.
I thought, uh yeah, yeah,

839
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,440
I think missing on grind Trisma two
and take A three, it says Spiral,

840
00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:06,119
that may have pushed me over the
top. Who knows, though,

841
00:59:06,159 --> 00:59:09,559
maybe it's just that I just couldn't
overcome first places. Absolutely incredible roster.

842
00:59:09,719 --> 00:59:17,079
Speaking of first place with a commanding
lead of thirty nine votes, that the

843
00:59:17,159 --> 00:59:22,840
turbo Sean station, Sean Jan says, and chat the congrats to the play

844
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:28,239
station Sean. You know, I
didn't want to go over the obvious one,

845
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,079
but as they were going with the
PlayStation incredible, credible, Sean,

846
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:37,920
it's like PlayStation station, I say, Sean, I almost thought that,

847
00:59:37,079 --> 00:59:40,000
like simply in a night was like
a week first round pick, just because

848
00:59:40,159 --> 00:59:43,679
I was like, yeah, of
course I love that. I don't know

849
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,440
how far that reaches and he was
clearly right. He's clearly right. Yes,

850
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:51,119
I look at the list now,
his list kind of you really nailed

851
00:59:51,119 --> 00:59:52,920
it. I knew it was over
when I got Castlevania and Ari too.

852
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,599
I was like, Okay, now
I can just fill it out with other

853
00:59:55,920 --> 01:00:00,559
like niche ish things that people want. I was worried about Vagrant Story because

854
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:02,199
I was like, that's a bit
of a pull. But also it's,

855
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:07,199
as I always try to tell you
guys, you need like the one niche

856
01:00:07,239 --> 01:00:09,039
thing that really pulls in the audience
that want to vote. Otherwise, I

857
01:00:09,159 --> 01:00:14,320
definitely wanted R E two for my
second pick. It's a strong are you

858
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:19,159
saying that? Like maybe the voting
block was not as amped about Namco Museum

859
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:27,280
volume? But uh yeah, once
again, I have proven that, as

860
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,239
I try to tell these guys all
the time on our podcast we do,

861
01:00:30,639 --> 01:00:34,920
I am just so much better at
this than you guys, know what people

862
01:00:35,039 --> 01:00:37,199
want? Great? All right,
well we're going to do this again to

863
01:00:37,199 --> 01:00:42,199
put him back at his place.
Okay, before we get out of here,

864
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,199
I have received a request, could
you guys just vamp for me for

865
01:00:45,239 --> 01:00:50,639
a second video primed from from any
front of the site. I thought Vagrant

866
01:00:50,679 --> 01:00:52,360
Story may have been like slightly obscurist
you, but you're right, that's like

867
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:58,760
the kind of pool what want.
It's a very late square Enix PS one

868
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,639
joint that is very It's it's an
RPG, but it has very interesting mechanics

869
01:01:02,719 --> 01:01:08,920
as a very distinct kind of dark
Gothic medieval aesthetic. It is gorgeous.

870
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:13,119
It's it's a lot of people who
did tactics and then would do fom Fantasy

871
01:01:13,159 --> 01:01:17,480
twelve. Are they bugs? I
don't think there's bugs and vagrant story.

872
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,880
Oh they have a hair? Do
you have a ten eye hair? I

873
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,519
mean, why is the ugie's hair
like that in the Greatest game on PS

874
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:31,000
one forbid? Because he's old.
You's old? Yeah, from old Egypt.

875
01:01:31,679 --> 01:01:37,400
Egypt. Oh that's that's all yummy. Yeah yeah, But like the

876
01:01:37,719 --> 01:01:39,920
this looks natural. It looks like
it's bones going out of their head.

877
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,960
You're saying, that's just how they
are. That's just the style of the

878
01:01:44,039 --> 01:01:47,239
time is a little bit of different
place, you guys. You guys should

879
01:01:47,239 --> 01:01:51,239
still see because I'm still sharing the
window. Right, It's gonna be a

880
01:01:51,239 --> 01:01:52,159
little bit small for you guys.
But that's just that is what it is.

881
01:01:52,519 --> 01:01:55,480
Let's uh, let's play it audio
listeners. You should hear this.

882
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,599
Let me just double check make truth. This is Dan getting right to interview

883
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,519
styles. Yes, so damn they
were doing radio row I believe, and

884
01:02:02,519 --> 01:02:06,360
they're gonna do ask some interview questions
to a J. Styles. Let's go

885
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:12,159
ahead and take a listen. Actually, are we getting audio? Not getting

886
01:02:12,199 --> 01:02:15,079
audio? I don't hear it.
Hang on, hang on on, I

887
01:02:15,119 --> 01:02:21,000
got second. Yeah, it's discord
I got I always mute it on the

888
01:02:21,119 --> 01:02:35,079
opera. All right, here we
go throwing a chair? What l A

889
01:02:35,199 --> 01:02:47,760
Nike running back? They're fighting ship
the Brewkett cheer. Their kissing is gone.

890
01:02:54,280 --> 01:03:04,320
You tackle them and now crowds so
security here, look I revote their

891
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:08,800
phones out and something about that.
It's interesting. Chancelli got very tall.

892
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:30,280
Yeah, he's bleeding. How is
shredded? That's why you always wear a

893
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:40,119
red shirt. It makes sense.
So you're confused. Those two guys are

894
01:03:40,159 --> 01:03:44,920
going to be fighting, uh for
WrestleMania. And they saw each other at

895
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:49,440
media day and and Adrian or a
j I threw a chair at him at

896
01:03:49,599 --> 01:03:52,159
L A Knight and they had to
fight about it. I can't believe it

897
01:03:52,079 --> 01:03:58,559
didn't go back to talk to Dan
what the fu? Yeah, well,

898
01:03:58,679 --> 01:04:00,639
just because he's bleeding, I thought
he was the rest I thought he was

899
01:04:00,679 --> 01:04:05,199
a professional. Jeff, were you
suggesting that this is perhaps a shoot fight?

900
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:11,920
No, damn, Chance says there
was a producer frantically yelling on his

901
01:04:12,039 --> 01:04:15,840
phone and at another producer. I'm
calling security. I don't know what's perfect,

902
01:04:17,199 --> 01:04:21,440
brother, Yeah, he got worked
jan Yeah? Was that was that

903
01:04:21,599 --> 01:04:30,840
producer? Triple? All right,
let's fade that out. Okay, we

904
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,840
did it. It's a BombCast for
vengeance. Congratulations to the place, stay

905
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:40,360
Sean, but you don't really all
consoles are winner. In my heart,

906
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,679
I would play it well what second
place is also very impressive? Alright for
