WEBVTT 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
