1 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,239 It's the Internet. You're busy. Let's do this. Welcome to the Game 2 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,240 Mess Decides podcast. This is the podcast where we decide everything about the world 3 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,920 of games, so you never have to think for yourself. I'm your host, 4 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,200 Jeff grub with me is it's me, Hi, I'm the problem. 5 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,119 It's me Mike Manati. In today's episode, the CMA smacksdown Microsoft, Nintendo 6 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,159 has plans for Germany, and gaming is losing another major source of interesting coverage. 7 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,240 Threat. I think so yeah, that's all a threat. Now, 8 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,439 I'm Mike, But first, thank you for joining us. Mike. How 9 00:00:56,479 --> 00:01:00,840 are you doing. I'm great. I've been having real fun. We we've 10 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,159 been doing some fun stuff over at Giant Bomby. I just met some friends 11 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,319 out I got to hang out with them for a bid, raced back here 12 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,519 to do this. I've got my diet doctor popper. I'm good to go. 13 00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:15,159 That sounds pretty good. Yeah, yeah, been uh having fun doing 14 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,159 a series of great things over on Giant bum U. I got I got 15 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:23,239 real like run down after that thing yesterday, after the high Rule hustle, 16 00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:26,640 and I needed like a nap big time. It took a big nap, 17 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,079 and I've been recovered since now I'm back back up on the horse and ready 18 00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:33,560 for more podcasting. I've been. It was exhausting. It was oddly, 19 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:34,840 it was super fun, but it was like when it was done, I 20 00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:38,239 was like, I'm exhausted from from that. It was a good time, 21 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,359 though, I'm already thinking about other things we could like maybe do, like 22 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,040 so kind of like Mark sixty four Mario Odyssey, like first to get sewing 23 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:49,719 so many stars or moons kind of thing. I think the idea would be, 24 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,319 let's throwing some Mario stuff in there for sure, and then if we 25 00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:57,079 do go to Pack's West, maybe that should be our panel High Rule Hustle 26 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:05,239 Gannonball Run and we do Tears or maybe maybe Breath of Wilde. It's like 27 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:07,680 the classic when we go to in a live setting because it's one we know 28 00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,439 so well. But we'll maybe we'll see you know, the new stuff is 29 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:15,000 always the hotness exactly. Yeah, we'll see um. But either way, 30 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,039 it's a lot of fun to think about because it's a it was a lot 31 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,080 of fun to do. But yeah, I don't know anything like anything else 32 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,120 you got going on, anything not gaming related. You've been like spending your 33 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,520 time on this week, Mike, Oh gosh, no, I think all 34 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,639 I ever do anymore actually is play video games or hang out with friends and 35 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:37,240 family. Those are the only two I've really distilled. Yes, what I 36 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,840 like, Like, I don't even watch TV anymore. Like there's like that 37 00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:44,919 whole Picard season three, which is actually good now and it's actually just the 38 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,599 fan service season that I probably wanted. I haven't even seen that. So 39 00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:51,120 No, there's like two things that I like. I mean, the third 40 00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:53,639 ones Disney World, but that's a special treat that's like I do like once, 41 00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:55,840 you know, a year or something like that. But yeah, it's 42 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,759 basically those three things. It's all I really need. So no nothing else 43 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,479 going on. I'm I'm the same way. I watch TV when I'm doing 44 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,199 something else like working out now, and that's it. That's it's like podcast 45 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,479 time for me. Usually I'll do podcast. I do podcast during chores and 46 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,879 mowing the lawn and stuff like that, so I pay people tom on my 47 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,240 lawn. Excuse me, mister big piece of shit. Look, you're the 48 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,599 one who helped me get that giant on money that's going somewhere. All right, 49 00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:29,840 let's let's talk about what the hell we're gonna do here.

Let me 68 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:29,079 know if you're having trouble with that, I'm gonna try to look into that. 69 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,759 Make sure we get those all fixed up, all right, Mike, 70 00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:34,959 I guess yea Jef Jeff before that, before that, Bowser's Fury Race, 71 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Bowser's Hurry like that, And Dan already mentioned he wanted to do that because 72 00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:46,680 it's like, that's a game that's easy to like one you can do that 73 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,240 like five six hours, right, But I think we know that. We 74 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:53,319 know that, right because if mister Mike mcnaty I said so much in my 75 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,279 review and I was most displeased, No, it was normal about it. 76 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000 What do you mean there? Maybe more displeasing even thought, but yeah, 77 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:05,319 sure so uh yeah, that sounds like a hell of a thing. We 78 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,639 should definitely do that. I want to hurry. Let's mentioned that to Dan 79 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,639 because I think he'll be all on board for that. Um, all right, 80 00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:16,000 let mess him then right now, big topics of the week, we 81 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,920 could start here with Microsoft. I mean, by now everyone listened to this 82 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,560 show knows what happened. The CMA said no, thank you, because we 83 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:29,399 want to protect to the nascent industry of cloud gaming and it's future. And 84 00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:30,519 we think that if you heard me, I heard me, send you a 85 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:39,639 discard meat that real quick. Yes, it's me the problem, the problem. 86 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,959 It's me, Me and Taylor. We have so much in common. 87 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,600 Honestly, I never thought about Taylor without thinking about you right alongside my UM. 88 00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:51,319 I don't know, Microsoft, this deal seems like it's gonna it's back 89 00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:55,920 on the ropes, although some people are still confident it's gonna go through. 90 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,160 Uh. Really, there's not much more to say about this microgam I'm kind 91 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,199 of tired of talking about it. But whatever, this is the CMA, 92 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,399 they're kind of doing their thing and they think cloud gaming is worth protecting. 93 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,240 I don't it. To me, that doesn't make a lot of sense, 94 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,480 but whatever it's They are allowed to make that decision decision if they want, 95 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,959 and it's up the Microsoft to either figure it out or or you know, 96 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,519 shit, or get off the pot and move on from this deal one way 97 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,399 or the other. As far as like what Microsoft is going to do next, 98 00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:29,199 they keep saying they're gonna appeal and the appeal process. I looked into 99 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,399 this. It's not like like super in favor of people of the people who 100 00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:38,279 actually making the appeal. Usually that means you have to prove that the CMA 101 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,879 behave in a way that was inappropriate, essentially, and then if they do, 102 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,680 the decision goes back to the CMA and back basically to the same people 103 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,120 who already denied it. So I don't really know what the end of round 104 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,199 here is for Microsoft, Like what is the actual goal here or do they 105 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,439 believe that they could still make a deal with the CNA at some point and 106 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120 get out of this. Now that's what some analysts are saying, like Michael 107 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,040 Packtor. I don't know how reasonable that actually is though, Mike. So 108 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,720 we're sitting here, we don't know much about what's going to happen next. 109 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,319 But to me, it definitely feels like it's back below that fifty percent preshional 110 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,959 this is going to go through, where like last week it was eighty percent 111 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,639 and now it's back like, oh, twenty five percent chance this goes through. 112 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,399 I don't know, how do you feel? Yeah, it's you know, 113 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:18,560 I see so many different things, Chef. There's so much noise going 114 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,959 out there. Look, I'm obviously not some some experts on regulators, and 115 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:30,360 you know, especially the European ones. You know, I'm hearing that it's 116 00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,920 hard to get the stuff repealed over at the CMA. It's uncommon if it 117 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,079 ever happens. So yeah, we're in this weird spot. I know, 118 00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:43,199 Like I found out about this live when we did a game exporting tomorrow, 119 00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:46,600 and I was pretty shocked by it. Especially you know, if you told 120 00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:49,240 me, hey, we just don't want this really big company buying this other 121 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,120 big company, I can kind of get that card gaming thing is Hey, 122 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,199 maybe that that could one hundred percent be me. You know, Jeff, 123 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800 I've been yelling at you about how I think cloud gaming is stupid for ten 124 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,800 years years now. Yeah, yeah, And I mean my defense there is 125 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,920 that I haven't been proven wrong yet. There was like a stat going around. 126 00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:13,240 I don't know if this was really proven to be true or Microsoft is 127 00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:16,319 saying they have like five thousand concurrent users on their cloud gaming stuff right now, 128 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:20,720 right, but if that is true, it's like, yeah, this 129 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,959 is like this is nothing right now. Is it going to be something someday? 130 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:30,759 Probably when we don't know? Can you really say that Microsoft, is 131 00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:35,919 like in this amazing position to absolutely have a monopoly in that in that acquiring 132 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,039 not a cloud gaming company but just a gaming company is somehow going to secure 133 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:45,000 that for them. It seems kind of fimsy to me. The CMA might 134 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,360 know more about it than I do. Sure, but it's weird, but 135 00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:52,000 that they made their decision. That's what happened. We'll see how the appeal 136 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,720 goes. The weird thing here is so Microsoft, first off, do they 137 00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:01,000 need to do it go through? Probably not. It's it's going to be 138 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,919 another el and what has been becoming a series of els lately, and that 139 00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:11,279 stuff can't turn around at a moment for sure. I think it could likely 140 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,919 turn around later this year. It's Starfall, but it's not great for them. 141 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,639 The bigger question is what does happen to Activision if this doesn't go through? 142 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,600 That's the company you almost kind of worry about. Absolutely, Yeah, 143 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,960 just start piece bills selling up. Well, we're going to sell off King 144 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,320 had to sew a Blizzard specifically and sell off just Call of Duty, Like, 145 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,679 I don't know, what do you think is going to happen? Yeah? 146 00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:39,080 So like Call of Duty is is performing fine for them? And I 147 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,519 think their earnings came out and I looked, I just kind of glanced at 148 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:45,679 them. I didn't look too closely at the Activision's earnings, but it did 149 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,000 seem like they were doing well in terms of what they were expected to do 150 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,279 for that quarter. Um. But the problem with Activision has always been the 151 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,039 long term prospects, where one of these years they are going to miss a 152 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,279 call of duty and that's going to be a big blow to them, and 153 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,919 um, and that was going to be this year, but they like scrambled 154 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,039 and got together, so they're actually gonna release a call of duty this year. 155 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:09,559 But that is eventually the eventually that's going to happen and um, there, 156 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,440 that's going to be really a tough thing. And then okay, well, 157 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,879 what do we have to sort of replace that income for that year? 158 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,200 Probably nothing? Well what if it happens again, do we have anything in 159 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,559 the pipeline? No, there's nothing else in the pipeline, And the only 160 00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:28,240 other things that might make sense are some blizzard stuff that are far from a 161 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,919 surebet at this point in a way that they once were like it's probably gonna 162 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:35,879 be da before and that's coming yes after that, Like, look, at 163 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,080 some point there will be a StarCraft three that'll be something we haven't even heard 164 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,120 about that yet, So yeah, I don't know. But what it really 165 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,440 comes down to is is Activision Future is pretty bleak and it doesn't look like 166 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,039 it's going to get any better because no one wants to go to work there. 167 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,399 They were already a toxic workplace. They were already people already do not 168 00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:00,519 want to work under a Bobby Cottick lad you know initiative in general. But 169 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,159 then they also went to back to full in office work and and so you 170 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,799 can't go you can't work remotely when many other studios and publishers and giant developers 171 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,960 have adopted that as this is just normal, this is the way it has 172 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,240 to be, this is what the people that are working in this industry want, 173 00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:18,720 And so Respawn is like, if you want to work remote, you 174 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:20,519 can work remote. And they're going to launch a game this week, and 175 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,080 it has its it has its issues, but it's also by all accounts, 176 00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:26,159 a very good game, and probably what I've played of it so far, 177 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,320 it's it's it's really well done. Um Bungee is all is completely remote and 178 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,960 people are putting out you know, destiny expansions for that game like about once 179 00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:39,279 a year, and it's hard to be like, Okay, I guess I'll 180 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,480 go work at Activision instead of one of these other at this point, more 181 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,919 premier studios, studios that that have a better track record of at least trying 182 00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:50,240 to acknowledge that they when they've messed up and trying to treat people better and 183 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,000 are continue to move in that direction. And so the thing he was like, 184 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Activision is like also kind of doing these things because they were going to 185 00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,879 pull the pair of the pull the parachute and get out of this and seldom 186 00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:05,879 Microsoft. But just just like because the deal falls through doesn't mean there's something 187 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:07,919 to be like, I guess we got to treat our employees better. I 188 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,679 imagine things get worse and don't get much better, because it's going to get 189 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,120 to a point where they're like, all right, we've run out of runway. 190 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:16,720 We don't like well, we'll try to make some bets here and there, 191 00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:20,840 we will try some other stuff, but this hit driven business is really 192 00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,440 hard. Maybe it's time to just squeeze as much value out of this as 193 00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:28,519 we can and then sell it off to some other company down the line. 194 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,960 When we've done that, and the and the whole mess is kind of fallen 195 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,799 apart um if if if Bobby Cottick is kind of stuck in that situation, 196 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:39,759 I think that's what he does. And so when I see people in the 197 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,080 comments be like, man, an acquisie means many people are gonna get laid 198 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,279 off, You just do not understand the reality of actors right now. If 199 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,679 this deal falls apart, they are going to lay off a lot of people. 200 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,200 They absolutely are. And that doesn't mean like, well microsof lay Yeah, 201 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,799 So yeah, to me, that's a wash, Like, yeah, 202 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,840 that's a good point. Microsoft probably will lay off people, only lay offs 203 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,600 out their acquisitions all the stuff. Yes, but Activision is going to lay 204 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,480 off people because they're gonna be like, well, one of the ways we 205 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,519 can make this make sense is cut costs. And so it's like that is 206 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,360 not some that is like a a straw man argument that is just not worth 207 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,519 like being like, well, well, we know that's gonna happen because we 208 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,159 know the other way it's probably gonna happen as well. And so yeah, 209 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,799 like I think Activision needs this, and I don't know what their future is. 210 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:26,960 They're going to be in rough shape and it's not gonna get much better 211 00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:31,799 and they're not going to be able to attract the leadership to turn it around. 212 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:33,919 So yeah, this is gonna be rough for them. Yeah, I 213 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,480 guess what to see. We still have to see how this appeal is going 214 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,320 to go through. It could be weird. And hey, if the US 215 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,600 suddenly comes out and those regulators also say, yeah, we want to block 216 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,519 it too. I mean, ye have two people going against you it to 217 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,480 appeal two of these, then it really is gonna feel like it is just 218 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,679 dead. Huh yeah, I think so. That's why it feels like it's 219 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,600 so stacked against the deal going through now is because they haven't even gotten a 220 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:05,000 pro from one of these three big regulators yet, and they probably want to 221 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:07,000 get at least two out of three before they start thinking of like alternatives of 222 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,440 so. I mean, the idea would be, let's say the UK and 223 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:13,279 the EU did approve it. The FTC would kind of be left with no 224 00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,960 choice because they don't have a lot of muscle to enforce things. But if 225 00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:20,679 Microsoft was feeling it from another regulator, well then they can be like, 226 00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:24,559 well deal with us on this stuff. Because you've also got to deal with 227 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,039 them and let's come, We're gonna kind of combine our might here. The 228 00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:31,039 FTC alone probably would would struggle with that, but with one of them already 229 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:37,120 kind of stopping it and the FTC already suing them, that makes it makes 230 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,879 it very unlikely. I think that this actually ends up going through and yeah, 231 00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:43,559 oh well, then it's time to like figure out alternative strategies. If 232 00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,080 if you are Microsoft, I know a lot of people are like, well, 233 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,519 this is the end of the road for for Phil Spencer or whatever. 234 00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:52,919 I think that this I think we've we've talked about this story so much that 235 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960 it feels like the only thing that matters to Microsoft. I just it's probably 236 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,320 not the case. Do you think that they would just rebound and like try 237 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,679 to find somebody smaller to go and acquire then, or is it that we 238 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,639 just hunkered down really focus on what they have? Yeah? I think they 239 00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:13,600 probably make a cup. Yeah, they definitely make it. Some more acquisitions, 240 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:18,519 different acquisitions, yeah, but probably more focused. Probably something have focused 241 00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:20,600 in mobile al though, what do you buy and mobile? I have no 242 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,399 idea. Yeah, it's ro ViOS are gun. Yes, all the ro 243 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:26,919 ViOS are gone and all the robos already have dance partners. The eggs I've 244 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:31,559 already hatched. You can't tell them. Yeah, those birds already angry. 245 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,120 Um. And yeah, they'll keep spending that money because that money just sitting 246 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,240 there doesn't make a lot of sense. So and game developers are still a 247 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,440 pretty good investment for the most part, especially if you're a company like Microsoft. 248 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,000 So they'll keep doing that. But I think they also will sort of 249 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,320 come back and really think about the games that they already have in the works 250 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,320 and maybe hopefully give them the attention that they seem like they need, um, 251 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:54,200 because that they you know, we don't know, we said. We 252 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,879 say stuff like, well, that's got to be two separate developartments working on 253 00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:00,679 this deal and working on all these games. Yeah, it probably is, 254 00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:03,200 but at some point, like there's got to be a little bit of a 255 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,399 distraction if I, like you recognize that, hey, everyone's just worried about 256 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,559 this deal and we're over here working on this game and no one's checked in 257 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,840 or whatever. Maybe maybe that's like heads We'll go back heads down on Perfect 258 00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,200 Dark and Fable and all these other things avowed and get those in perfect shape, 259 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,840 and that can turn everything around on its own. Yeah, the people 260 00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:26,240 who are supposed to get read fall sixty frames per second. We're too busy 261 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,240 watching our shows. They're really focus on that. Sorry, everybody, y 262 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,799 those laws lawyers can't code. Yeah, I mean yeah. But like Matt 263 00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:37,799 Booty and Phil Spencer are involved in like these deals, and like that's been 264 00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:41,399 sort of the issue of for a lot of these games. It's like, 265 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,759 hey, like Matt Boody's got so much going on just looking after all these 266 00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:47,799 studios. Is it too much? Well, is it too much with all 267 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,639 those studios and this deal that they're trying to get through. It could be, 268 00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:53,919 it could be, but we don't know. Yep, we don't know. 269 00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:57,799 Okay, we certainly aren't picking a side here, so please don't ye 270 00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:02,120 at us this week, I think, but a few weeks of that, 271 00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,279 everybody. I don't know how much more I honestly don't know how much more 272 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,519 even had to we get sound about this, But yes, I'll beg you 273 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,359 please, I mean yeah, And there's people there they are just gonna They 274 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,599 almost certainly don't even listen. They just get mad, and they listened to 275 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,000 make soundbites and then and then come and yell in the comments where's x spot 276 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,240 Killer. I don't know. I'm miss him though. I want to know 277 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,440 what he thinks about this. It was George Foreman. I was sad about 278 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,279 that. He thinks we're big Sony shows. Now I forgot George Will George. 279 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,640 We went him over for a bit. But uh, yeah, then 280 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,039 we we said we talked about something bad about Xbox. I think we talked. 281 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,519 It was the yes, yes, sorry George. Yeah, we'll get 282 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:42,119 you back when next time. Armored Course six is coming out August twenty fifth. 283 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,640 Did you see this trailer? I didn't actually see it, Like I 284 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,960 said, I woke up in a panic and had to rush over and then 285 00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:49,880 after that was just working and then got these drinks. But I saw the 286 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,759 release date. I saw you say that you were surprisingly getting souls like vibes. 287 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,359 I don't want to oversell it. I just like Grob says, it 288 00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:03,839 is almost like confirmed what I said, Yep, exactly. Uh, It's 289 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,720 just when I look at it, it's like something about it still feels like 290 00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:11,000 there is some souls like DNA in there, more than I was expecting. 291 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,279 But that's it's not an actual souls game. Um, you know, definitely 292 00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:18,119 a part of it's just like the way they're presenting the boss fights. Look 293 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,200 the way a Souls game presents boss fights, well, one thing to carry 294 00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:25,759 over, I mean, come on, right exactly, So I think they 295 00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:29,400 will be informed by some of that stuff. It almost certainly is not going 296 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,839 to play like one of those games. Actually, that's that's what. There's 297 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:34,880 not gonna be bonfires. Um No, But what a great August game. 298 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,519 Man, that's uh, it's it's so funny. Very few times you say, 299 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,559 man, that series really made it big on the sixth centstry. These 300 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,839 weird circumstances. That's what arm Records seems set up to do here. I 301 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,880 mean, there's no chance this isn't the best selling Armored Core, right, 302 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,319 this is gonna be the best selling Armored Core by far. Oh almost certainly. 303 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,799 I mean you can't. You almost like mess me up with your game, 304 00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:00,920 miss mornings pull of. Is it going to sell more less than five 305 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,400 million copies? Because you want to be like it's from software? Of course 306 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,599 you will, But then you're like, it's Armored Core. What is the 307 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,519 best Armwored Core ever sold? Like one point two million? I don't know, 308 00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:15,720 Probably even that would be surprising. Yeah, that'd be surprising. But 309 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,640 yeah, I mean from Software is the actual brand here, not Armored or 310 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,519 U, and that's going to be huge. Yeah, I can't wait. 311 00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:27,640 I think that trailer looked phenomenal. It looks really again, it's the same 312 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,799 thing as the CGI trailer. The art is just otherworldly perfect. It's so 313 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,000 good. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Unintendua will be a 314 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:38,839 games com this. We didn't talk about this on on Less than ten Ducks. 315 00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:42,519 This happened after that, right, We talked about it somewhere and then 316 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:45,519 I mostly turned it into a joke. Yeah, game this mornings, Uh, 317 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,359 they're just you know, this is the thing where there they might have 318 00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:52,599 new games to show because the other games that we do know about will be 319 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,880 out by this planks. This is um September. This is gonna be in 320 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,960 September, I think or August something. I think it might be August. 321 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,200 But Pickman four and Zelda will be out by now. And what's coming out 322 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,079 from Nintendo after that, Well, the only game we know is coming is 323 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,720 Metroid Prime four and we don't know when that's coming. Um, yes, 324 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,240 and that's you know, maybe that's games come Probably not, but maybe it 325 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,640 is. But they probably have other stuff coming later this year, almost certainly 326 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,240 that they will want to show off at this thing, and they probably announced 327 00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:26,200 that at some sort of maybe it's a direct mini, maybe they have something 328 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,400 like that, you know, a partner showcase and then some YouTube drops and 329 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,359 Twitter drops, but probably a direct. They probably have a direct between now 330 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,279 and then, and then they have their September directs. You on this, 331 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,680 I remember that's long ago. Yeah, man, I feel good with my 332 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,680 reasoning and logic because, yeah, they there's got to be some kind of 333 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,480 a big game this fall from them, and we had to find out what 334 00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:48,079 it is at some point. Yeah, and so, and then being at 335 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,400 Games Come, I think really lends credence to that line of thoughts. So 336 00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:57,079 cool. I'm getting pretty excited because I was kind of shifting into and that's 337 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,599 it. It's going to go pretty quiet after Zelda. Yeah, Pittman Force 338 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,920 coming. Yeah, they'll probably have one or two things for the holiday. 339 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,119 Nothing major. Um Now, it's like I think anything is possible. Um 340 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,519 so yeah, like Kevin Garnett, Like Kevin Garnett, Yeah, anything. 341 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,559 Yeah. I never thought I'd be on a boat. Is that a boomer 342 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,440 thing? Now? The Lonely Island is only island for boomers only. Yeah, 343 00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:22,799 I should do We should do a mount rushmore of boomer games and not 344 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,759 elaborate on what that means. I love it all right, Yeah, that's 345 00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:27,359 good. Next week, everybody. Yeah. I have a couple more things 346 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,680 I want to say, and none of them are related to anything. One. 347 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:40,079 Happy birthday, Greg Miller forty years old. Happy birthday? Uh? 348 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,759 What a what a nice guy. They had a really good stream. I 349 00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:45,559 kind of funny today he took a chop from Xavier Woods. It looks great. 350 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,759 You know what, Jeff, Back when I was really a nobody, 351 00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:52,000 I'm still nobody. When I was an absolute do buddy, Greg was still 352 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,240 like really nice to me then, and he was still Greg Miller back then. 353 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,680 So I'll always love Greggy. I want to wish him happy birthdays. 354 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,720 Went to say that, uh, And at second off, what the hell 355 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,359 was that song you played in the front of Last of the Ninten Dogs this 356 00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:22,559 week? The most atrocious, ear destroying, lippity blupity thing I have ever 357 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,200 heard. If you ever do that again, I'll walk Okay. I think 358 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,960 it was a Commodore sixty four chip tunes makes sense, and I think that's 359 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,480 why you don't like it, because the Commodore sixty four. To be clear, 360 00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:37,119 there were other comments and normally I'm like, you know, normally in 361 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,559 the comments like I'm here to defend Jeff Grub because he hoped to be making 362 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,279 money that I'm like, no, get his as that's terrible. That's my 363 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,799 boy. Jonathan Dunn, who did the music for RoboCop for Game Boy in 364 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,880 Pictionary, he got it started on like the z X spectrum and the and 365 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,880 the Commodore sixty four. Hey, do we say z X spectrum or do 366 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,759 we say ZX spectrum because we're American. I don't know. First before the 367 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,000 nes I kind of don't care. Cool, thanks, thanks for the yes 368 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:11,400 ending um, and then you're welcome, buddy. Uh yeah, Jonathan Dunn's 369 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,759 great. Uh, I understand what you mean because that Commodore sixty four chip 370 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,279 is it's it's rough. It actually, yeah, it's rough. Also not 371 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,119 a Nintendo song for our Nintendo podcast. That's okay too. I was just 372 00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:26,039 okay, all right, you know what, it's ocean software, dude. 373 00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:29,680 There was a lot of Ocean software stuff on there. It is in the 374 00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:33,119 spirit never mind, You're right, fine, I understand Commodore sixty four is 375 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,680 pretty pretty rough to listen to. Yeah, I think I sent me one 376 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,240 those Commodore sixty four minis and I think I had zero fun with it. 377 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,759 Man, that's blast against the Commodore sixty four. You want to talk about 378 00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:49,000 boomers? Man? Yeah? You uh, it's okay. Yeah, you're 379 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,240 gonna be just in the Commodore sixty four's life. Huh. This is it 380 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,200 is you coming down on it hard. I'm going I am here to put 381 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,960 you to a permanent end. There. You got everybody there's get mad about 382 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,039 this week. Actually only boomers will get mad at us about that. So 383 00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:08,759 okay, Now I said to third unrelated thing. I've been thinking about this 384 00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:12,599 all day. I want to put the robotcop outfit on. I want to 385 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:18,359 walk into your house, go to your kids. Yeah cool sif we added 386 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:25,279 the youngest one, look at her and go your move meep. I tell 387 00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:26,839 you you do that, dude, that one of two things is going to 388 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,599 happen. She's gonna scream meep louder than you've ever heard, or she's going 389 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:36,559 to cry. Um. Yeah, both great outcomes, both really fun. 390 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,119 But you made a child cry. Kids cry all the time. Top of 391 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,640 what they do. Yeah, crying is like their main occupation in life. 392 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,160 Uh, people would think I'm a monster because my kid will just like scream 393 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,720 and cry, and I'm just I'm no selling. It's so hard. Of 394 00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:55,440 course, who cares anymore? After a while. Well, it's like it's 395 00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:56,680 it's like not good to acknowledge. It's then they're like, well I get 396 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,680 what I want, and so I'm like, no, fuck, look this, 397 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:00,880 I'm try, Jeff, I'm tired of you taking the show off the 398 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,920 rails. Can you please get to another news talk I'm trying. I'm actually 399 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,119 not sure how to do this transition that you put me into, Mike. 400 00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:14,119 Somebody die? What is it? Basically Way Points shutting down over at night. 401 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,319 Yeah, you feel pretty bad, Mike. I didn't shut them down. 402 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,839 I love Waypoint. I've always loved Way Point. I love their podcast. 403 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,160 I love everybody over there. They've also always been very nice to me, 404 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,400 and they were doing great work. They've been doing cool stuff with the 405 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,279 subscription service. You feel like, oh man, that makes it like more 406 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,880 viable, and then you realize, yeh. I'll tell you one thing I've 407 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,799 learned. Corporations don't do not care about that direct subscription stuff. What corporations 408 00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:47,799 care about our sponsorships? They want those big money drops all at one time, 409 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,720 and it's h and so it's like if the way Point was just too 410 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,920 cool to live apparently, um I think gaming will be worse without Waypoint. 411 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,599 They always brought cool perspectives, cool criticism, They had great conversations. I 412 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,559 hope everyone over there has a way to continue of voicing the you know, 413 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:08,319 to bringing their voices to gaming one way or another. But you know, 414 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,799 you I saw Patrick was like, you know, listen, Yeah, if 415 00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:14,440 people want me on as an editor, I'm open to it, But if 416 00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:17,279 a developer wants me, I'm also open to that. It's like, yeah, 417 00:26:17,319 --> 00:26:19,720 man, he's been doing it for twenty years. Yeah, It's it's 418 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,880 a certain point. You gotta you gotta look like where is there to grow 419 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,759 to know? He still looks like he's twenty five, But man, yep, 420 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,160 I mean he started when he was a kid, literally a kid. 421 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,000 He was like fourteen or fifteen and had his dad taken to E three. 422 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,519 Still like he's been doing it for a long time. It's nuts because like 423 00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:37,839 I have been like, oh, aware of Patrick's career since he started out 424 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,039 as a kid basely, Yeah, he's always done great stuff. And you 425 00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:44,480 know Austin, a bunch of them were doing great stuff at White Point. 426 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:47,880 The whole thing is major bummer. And as somebody who's in games media, 427 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:52,039 just seeing places like this drop like dominoes, it's concerning, it's kind of 428 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,960 depressing. It's weird, this sort of duality of Back when gaming seemed to 429 00:26:59,079 --> 00:27:03,279 not have as big of a peel, we had these sites and magazines flourishing 430 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,279 talking about gaming, and now that it's bigger than ever, these outlets that 431 00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:11,039 are specifically catered toward toward its struggle, which is all these different platforms like 432 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,359 a YouTube. And you know that's why I'm glad we diver you know, 433 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,559 I personally with you and kind of diversifying there. Who just knows, Yeah, 434 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,039 what the next domino to fallover is on the media side of things, 435 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,880 and it's um, I mean games meet, I mean not beyond you know, 436 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,880 since before we don't make money publishing stories on the internet. We make 437 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,680 money because we run events. That's been our saving grace for a long time. 438 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,279 And you know, thank you know, thank god we do that. 439 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,960 Thank god. Dean is so good at organizing those that's how we make money. 440 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,079 That's what's been saving us and some of these other websites that don't do 441 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,039 that, I don't know because you're not getting in through revenue, that's for 442 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,960 sure, yep. And that's where it's like, um, like I want 443 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,880 to im like keep looking at ways to like bring that sort of thinking to 444 00:27:56,079 --> 00:27:59,240 Giant bomb and stuff, or it's like, hey, what do we do 445 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,000 live like, you know, gets us in front of people, can get 446 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,960 sponsorships and stuff. But uh, yeah, it's it's it's it's tough to 447 00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:08,319 pull off. It's a tough thing to make makes sense. Um, But 448 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,480 yeah, it's also just the gaming. You know, people are weird these 449 00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:15,839 days. Um, it's weally strange these days. People are very strange these 450 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:21,480 days. I when I was growing up, I would be like I would 451 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,839 see the Nintendo Power on on the on the magazine rack, and as a 452 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,279 huge Nintendo fan, I would pick it up and I'd be like, it 453 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,279 feels like it's pandering. And I was a child and I was like, 454 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,240 this feels like pandering and I don't like that. And so I would try 455 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,680 to find the one that was the console agnostic, the platform agnostic thing, 456 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,319 and for me that was that was mostly Electronic Gaming Monthly or Ultra Game Players, 457 00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:45,039 but there were a lot of other ones, you know, Video and 458 00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:48,319 Computer Magazine or whatever it was in the UK um Game Game Pros. Sure 459 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,480 later, yeah, but it's like, Okay, I want to like a 460 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:55,720 broad perspective on how people are feeling about games, and I feel like, 461 00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:59,359 and I who knows that this could just be my perspective where from where I'm 462 00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:02,319 sitting and it looks this way. But it seems like people, oh, 463 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,200 for the most part, have really swung back hard toward wanting just their platform 464 00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:11,599 represented in the media that they're listening to. Um. Uh, you know 465 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,680 the Xbox podcasts, Xbox specific podcasts have like really grown. I know a 466 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,640 lot of people who are on PlayStation podcasts and they're growing fast. Um it's 467 00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:23,319 it's I and I don't like that kind of stuff. And we do a 468 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,599 Nintendo podcast, but even on that podcast, we end up push Yeah, 469 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:30,279 it's it's it's garbage, don't listen to it. But it's like that's like 470 00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:33,279 the one I can maybe make sense. And even then it's like we were 471 00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:34,480 kind of were still just talking about the stuff we want to talk about, 472 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,720 and the way we want to talk about it, UM, but it's it's 473 00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:41,440 it's just kind of strange to see that kind of that shift away. And 474 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:45,440 I IgM was like a perfect examply started off in sixty four dot com is 475 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,359 where I first started following IM, and then they're like, okay, well 476 00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:52,400 we're gonna be IgM sixty four dot com because then we don't want Nintendo fucking 477 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,079 coming kill us. UM. And then they dropped the sixty four and IM 478 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,039 and then and then IgM became this thing. It was like, we're now 479 00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:00,079 we're covering everything, and yeah, we have those guys that are sociocovering Nintendo 480 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:04,119 and those guys that are sociocovering Xbox and PlayStation, but you know, it's 481 00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:07,160 all IGN. And then even IG's like, like, you know, the 482 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,359 podcast Beyond and the Xbox podcast that sort of became the bigger things at IGEN. 483 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,359 It's like, and that's that arc. I think it's just happening everywhere, 484 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:21,160 and so a generalized coverage of video games feels like it's it's not in 485 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,480 as much demand anymore. So I know we definitely feel that over at Giant 486 00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:27,200 Bomb. It's like when I go to cover in a quick look of video 487 00:30:27,319 --> 00:30:32,480 game. What value is this bringing and do people want this? And it's 488 00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:33,319 like, yeah, I want to keep doing it. I want to be 489 00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:36,440 a place where you can come here and get a good idea of what's going 490 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,599 on to video games. Although that's that's becoming more difficult than ever because there's 491 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,160 so many video games. But in general, it's like, maybe we should 492 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,000 just be doing fun stuff with video games. And that's where you see our 493 00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:48,680 kind of our content leaning over there is yeah, let's bring Mike on, 494 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,400 let's do another high rule hustle, and that could be like how we're engaging 495 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,640 with Zelda as Tears of the Kingdom is coming on, and it's like trying 496 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:59,119 to make that stuff makes sense and there's no great answer here. So I 497 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,359 think for a site like Waypoint that was so focused on on excellent criticism, 498 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:10,519 to bring criticism to people who want mostly cheerleading for their platform, that's a 499 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,240 rough business and I find it a bit depressing. Mike, honestly, No, 500 00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:15,920 I mean, you're right, and you know, I've been kind of 501 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,440 joking about it, but it has been really weird these last couple of weeks. 502 00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:22,039 Jeff, you know, we you know, there's one show where we 503 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,200 just said things about Hi Fi Rush that to be clear, like you know, 504 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,079 true, maybe not phrase the best way, and then lost their minds 505 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,720 Uh then like you know, then we're just talking about the Xbox deal and 506 00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:37,720 how we're kind of surprised by the reasoning of it, and like this other 507 00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:41,119 wave comes and people are coming and crapping on that. You know. I 508 00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:42,640 don't want to seem like thin skinned or something like that, but it is. 509 00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:48,599 It's it's bizarre to me that it seems like stuff like fanboying is somehow 510 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,720 worse than ever. And maybe that's only my perspective because like we are like 511 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,880 now you know, these bigger personalize and we're now targets of it. I'm 512 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,440 sure it's always been there. It is just baffling. It is still there. 513 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,000 Yeah, it was worse, And maybe that again is this unique perspective 514 00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:06,720 that I have, especially at a time where again, these these consoles are 515 00:32:06,839 --> 00:32:09,319 so similar now, especially as box of PlayStation. The only difference really is 516 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,880 the exclusives, and you know, you know what you like and what you 517 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,920 don't like. It's weird how much people have to get furious about these kind 518 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:22,200 of things in twenty twenty three. That does for the big topics of the 519 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,599 week, Mike uh. Although Sean noted last week that people should download Street 520 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:30,400 Fighters six because it's on PlayStation, it's now out on Xbox and PC. 521 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,920 So if you want to get in there and experience some Street Fighters six, 522 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,559 I will be doing so on UPF Tomorrow. We're gonna be playing nine six. 523 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,640 We're gonna have a few other games as well, but that's one of 524 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,559 the things we're gonna be doing on there. So looking forward to that, 525 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,319 Mike. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll come back and we're gonna 526 00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:46,039 hit We're gonna do a Bob quiz, and we are going to do a 527 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,359 draft for the PlayStation. Four super chats to talk about too. Thank you 528 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:52,680 everybody to do the super chats first. All right, we'll be right back. 529 00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:58,599 Welcome back real quick, Mike. Tears of the Kingdom had a bunch 530 00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:01,680 of previews this week. Also, I think we are it became public that 531 00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:05,200 review codes are starting to get out there, so everyone's like, be careful, 532 00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:07,240 it's gonna yeah people got that. Let me yeah, not me, 533 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:14,359 not me. Um listen, I still know how many cant shines are in 534 00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,160 Mario, and that's worth more to me than playing Tears of the Kingdom early, 535 00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:21,759 Mike, So thank you for your duty. Um uh, what did 536 00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:23,079 you have you caught up with any of the previews? Did you watch a 537 00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:25,960 lot of the coverage or because I kind of know last thing we talked about 538 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,880 this, you're like, I'm good, I'm just ready to play this thing. 539 00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:30,799 Yeah. I mean I watched your the Giant Bombs thing with you Dan 540 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,680 and Baccalar talking about it, and you know it's yeah. I'm like, 541 00:33:35,799 --> 00:33:37,799 yeah, it seems great. I'm sold. I'm ready to go. And 542 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,960 that's basically kind of what I assumed I would be. I think it's great 543 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,240 that people did get a ches to play it, and everybody seems to be 544 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:50,000 pretty positive on it, even when though even still when you look at it, 545 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,559 I can almost understands some people be like, boy, that's sure is 546 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,519 just kind of looking like breath for the while, But pretty much everyone who 547 00:33:55,599 --> 00:34:00,440 plays it seems really happy with it. And after playing for the while out 548 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,039 again, but for preparing for the hire hustle and the doing that, I 549 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,920 am just one hundred percent on board with more of that, and it seems 550 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,679 like we are getting more than just more of that. Yeah, one of 551 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,239 the I'm trying to think of, like some of the big key points that 552 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,719 came out of some of these previews. Uh, A handful of people mentioned 553 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,079 that the controls are cumbersome and how much do you want to laugh at them 554 00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:24,239 for being old man who can't change? How are the controls the controls from 555 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,119 before? I saw that there was a radial menu now for picking powers. 556 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,440 That's new. I think it's um when it comes down to, like building 557 00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:34,920 things with ultra hands seems to be the big trouble. I mean, it 558 00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:36,840 was a little weird playing Breath of the while I was like, oh, 559 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,599 yeah, the uh, the the X button on the top of the diamond, 560 00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:43,079 there is the jump button. That's a little weird. But you know 561 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:45,239 me, Jeff, I'm a Chamelion Skyrim, so I like I got I 562 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,639 was always used to that and like that Skyrom jump jumping not very important in 563 00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,840 Skyrim, to be fair, Yeah, but I would jump constantly in Skyrim. 564 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,800 That's you're you know, you're you're special. Thank you very much for 565 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:02,119 saying so some super chats. Yeah, let's do it. Hey, we 566 00:35:02,199 --> 00:35:05,840 got a couple of new members on YouTube. By the way, I wanted 567 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,039 to give a shout out to Jimmy Toledo. Toledo that's an Ohio joint and 568 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:15,000 uh hargie to Chani, thank you so much. Also, Diogo RP has 569 00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:19,559 been a Hamilton subscriber for quite a while now, so thank you so much. 570 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,000 All right, well, also another linking subscriber, Halle heyman, we 571 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,880 got a bunch of those. Thank you Everyboddy. But here's the first super 572 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,880 chats Nintendo. Derek says, I'm not typically a big fighting game fan, 573 00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:34,039 but tree Fighter six is World Tour mode has me sold? Or are the 574 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,880 chances other developers like Netheralm see that they put it into their fighting games. 575 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:44,840 Yeah that's funny because I haven't really played this World Tour mode, but the 576 00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:47,599 vibe it gives me kind of reminds me of the single player campaigns that the 577 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,639 like Plasation two GameCube era Mortal Kombat games had that were kind of like run 578 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:59,400 around as this OCU and talk to people sort of thing, as opposed to 579 00:35:59,519 --> 00:36:05,719 the really cinematic, crafted single player experiences that Neother Rome has created with Mortal 580 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,400 Kombat nine forward. But I think noother the Rome was going to stick to 581 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,920 that path that has worked out incredibly well for them. Those recent Mortal Kombat 582 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,159 games and Injustice have been big. I think Mortal Kombat twelve will just do 583 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,800 that again and it will also be a big hit. Yeah, I'm like, 584 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,920 I think if Street Fighter does it, a lot of other fighting games 585 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,119 just seemed to copy it, like as a matter of course, so it's 586 00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:31,880 something that people actually like. I think that developer, other develbers definitely will 587 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,840 copy it. So yes, look out, look out for this in a 588 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,639 lot of other stuff. But like hilarious, like the Street Fighter five tried 589 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:43,920 to copy the Mortal Kombat like story mode thing that noother rome did with the 590 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,400 Street Fighter five story mode, and it was bad, like they weren't able 591 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,559 to do a good job. Detrocious, yes of course, right, but 592 00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:53,199 so but that was pre Capcom suddenly becoming like God mode, right yeah they 593 00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:59,320 are right now, So like we're all pretty Street Fighters six are engine yea, 594 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:05,000 yes, okay, thank you God. I'm just saying I'm just hanging 595 00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:07,280 back lending you guys here a thing. Don't mind me, But who has 596 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,400 played World Tour Mode? Don't mind me? Jacob Bet says, Hey, 597 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,360 beet boys, are y'all ready for Tears of the Kingdom. These next two 598 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,119 weeks are going to be painful. Keep up the great work. I'm ready. 599 00:37:17,159 --> 00:37:22,599 But I also like, I'm also excited for Jedi Survivor. I'm still 600 00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:28,800 having fun playing old Final Fantasy games with the Pixtary Masters and playing Street Fighter 601 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,800 five. There are so many things to play. It's pretty rarely anymore that 602 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,559 I like. Like when I was a teenager, I constantly had this thing 603 00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:40,239 where I would actually just kind of sit around and almost be like uncomfortable because 604 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:45,239 a game I wanted to play isn't out yet. That doesn't really happen anymore, 605 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,840 Like I can I could do something else now, I see you like 606 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,199 vibrating over there, what is he doing? The biggest one of that ever 607 00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:57,000 was Kingdom Hearts Too. I would just sit on a computer and watch the 608 00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:00,440 trailers and be like depressed that I couldn't play that game right at this very 609 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,840 I would that it's special for this brawl but came out around the same time 610 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,239 that where That was when I was the most ever like that, Like, 611 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,960 I can't believe I can't play these What do they expect me to do with 612 00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:17,840 my life? Study? I am very excited for Tears of the Kingdom. 613 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,199 I am thinking about it a lot, but it's like, you know, 614 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,480 we we could say I didn't get to play it. I'm like, I'm 615 00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:28,519 only kind of engaging with these previews a little bit. I'm kind of seeing 616 00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:30,159 what people are saying on Twitter, but I'm mostly in a situation where, 617 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,559 like I will be I'm ready to play it. So when it's here, 618 00:38:32,559 --> 00:38:36,440 I'll play it. And uh, it's and honestly, maybe a little bit 619 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,480 of it is people are playing it and I could have been one of those 620 00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:43,920 people, but I am not, And so it's a little bit like command 621 00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:45,679 kind of painful to think about I could have been playing I just like I 622 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,840 played Breath of the Wild earlier. I did a review of it. It's 623 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,840 one of my favorite reviews ever. And uh, and so I'm kind of 624 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:52,880 thinking about Tears of the Kingdom right now. It's like, damn it, 625 00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:57,079 that's that stinks, but that like, you know, woe is me, 626 00:38:57,159 --> 00:38:59,239 who gives a shit. I'll be playing it in a couple of weeks like 627 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,280 everybody else, and so I'm kind of just in that wait and see. 628 00:39:01,519 --> 00:39:05,559 And in the meantime, like Mike said, I there are other games I 629 00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:07,880 want to get out of the way first. So Jedi Survivor Advanced for us, 630 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:13,559 that's what I'm focused on right now. Doesn't mean I have to meet 631 00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:19,920 your father. Yes, it means you have to meet my father. You 632 00:39:20,039 --> 00:39:22,239 have that. You have a song you never heard stuck in your head now 633 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,400 because you had to read the lyrics that that one soun't great yep. Next 634 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:32,960 one here is from Rogers og says, if it were um two oil or 635 00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:37,199 finance companies, I bet to see if it were two oil or finance companies, 636 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,320 I bet the CMA would be okay with it. But hey, thank 637 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,239 god they stopped those pesky Game Pass subscribers from playing last year's Call of Duty. 638 00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:47,400 Like I don't. I don't think they're really that medic, Like, 639 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,360 I'm sure they believe this stuff they're saying about the cloud gaming being this important. 640 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:58,119 I think it. I think it might be a little misguided or it 641 00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:00,039 seems a little misguided me. Yeah, it was in the comments like, 642 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,920 uh, Jeff grub is going to tell a G eight nation how to run 643 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,679 its economy, and it's like, uh, everybody knows that most of the 644 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:13,320 time these regulators don't really know what they're talking about. Very specific parts of 645 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,039 the economy. And it's like, in this situation, the way they talk 646 00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:19,400 about cloud gaming, I just think they don't get it, and they don't 647 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,119 get people like, yeah, if you have beneficials is specialized in maybe finance 648 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:29,239 also happen to know a lot about cloud gaming. Jeff there experts. You're 649 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,039 right, it's it's it's it's politics. It is we did let like every 650 00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:37,760 oil company merge, and we did let every previous big tech company merge. 651 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,400 And now we've got to change that. And so what's the place we're gonna 652 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,599 stand. Well, that's a big number, sixty nine billion dollars we're going 653 00:40:42,679 --> 00:40:44,840 to get in the way of this thing. And that's I think that's as 654 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,199 much as they've really actually thought about it. And then and then they are 655 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,639 looking for a the crime to fit the punishment that they want, which is 656 00:40:51,679 --> 00:40:54,719 to not let it go through, and the crime being violating the future of 657 00:40:54,840 --> 00:41:00,159 the future sanctity of cloud gaming, and and and the end result is that 658 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,400 people in the UK are less likely to get Call of Duty and Game Pass 659 00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:07,239 and save some money on playing those games in the future. So it's like, 660 00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:13,519 well, okay, big congratulations, you did it. Stephen bioloboxes. 661 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:16,480 What's more likely Microsoft moves on from gaming due to this deal fund through, 662 00:41:17,079 --> 00:41:21,239 or the deal goes through with no call of duty in the UK. You 663 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,920 guys are the best. Thank you, Stephen. I think the most likely 664 00:41:27,079 --> 00:41:29,639 thing, as I've said, is that the deal falls through. I think 665 00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:35,920 the second most likely thing is that the deal goes through with like some major 666 00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:38,440 weird concessions in the UK, where it could be like, yeah, we 667 00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:44,159 will have a version of game Pass for UK for UK gamers, where Cloud 668 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:49,360 Gaming does not include any of the activision stuff on Microsoft on a Microsoft platform 669 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,039 and they can only license it to other people, which would be weird, 670 00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:55,320 and again it would be kind of like a bad deal for UK gamers, 671 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,800 but whatever, If that's what they want, then that's what they'll get. 672 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,840 But even that seems so weird and strange and tough to pull off that I 673 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,880 still think it's more likely it doesn't go through. Fitzer said, thank you 674 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:12,239 for your life saving advice. Last week, Mike, Jimmy Ryan loved my 675 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,360 Star Trek cologne so much that we platonically embraced for most of the night after 676 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:24,360 our lovely candlelit baked bean dinner. You are welcome, sir loves beans on 677 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:29,320 toast if I've never seen a motherfucker that looks more like he loves beans on 678 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:36,360 toast. Mabama says, I'm currently eating slightly melty ice cream with a small 679 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,280 spoon. Your right, draft you're wrong, Mike, thanks and let me 680 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,519 both You're welcome. I think I'm correct, though, melti icecreams gross. 681 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,159 Jacob Bench says, if the deal doesn't go through, Microsoft goes scorched earth 682 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:57,840 and buys exclusive and small studios and does Activision Blizzard work with Sony after this? 683 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,000 I don't think Activision buzz is going to be in a place to spite 684 00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:05,599 blacklist Sony if this doesn't go through. About absolutely correct, and Sony knows 685 00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:07,320 that, which is why they behave the way they do. Right, But 686 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,719 do you think Microsoft is going to buy more exclusives and small studios if they 687 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:16,760 don't get Activision buzzard king Um? Buying exclusives is a tough thing for Microsoft. 688 00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:20,480 Sony can get away with it because everyone gets excited when they do it. 689 00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:22,400 When Microsoft does it, people get mad at them. So when they 690 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,719 got to him Raider exclusive, people just got mad at them. And so 691 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,599 that's like is that worth the money to kind of get people mad at you. 692 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,480 It's it's probably not. So They've they've avoided that specific idea for a 693 00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:37,320 long time because of that, and so I think they're gonna keep kind of 694 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,519 I think they're gonna probably look for alternatives. I think they're more likely to 695 00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:45,079 keep doing bigger things in game pass. That's a tough that's a tough road 696 00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:47,440 to home because a lot of those publishers don't want to say yes to that 697 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,480 burrito. Mike Robo, Mitchell Man, the Green, Molly's Rights is to 698 00:43:53,679 --> 00:44:00,360 the top, Savage Manati and Jeff, Yeah, that's always said. Thank 699 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,440 you very much. JD. Camp says, you're still a nobody in my 700 00:44:04,639 --> 00:44:07,480 heart. Thank you. That was Greg, Bill appreciate it. Al Grug 701 00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:12,920 says, make Jeff play a commodore to sixty four game on Blake Club and 702 00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:15,840 that would just be all of them and who would really enjoy that? I 703 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,239 could. I'll turn up the music really loud just for you. Mike, 704 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,760 Yeah, be fantastics. Phil Spencer says, watch your words by how you 705 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,760 talk about the Xbox. Look. Bill, we gotta you know, we 706 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,679 gotta call and likely see him here. I'm sorry. Yeah, sorry, 707 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,039 Phil, I know you understand. Darachi says, thanks for keeping me company, 708 00:44:34,159 --> 00:44:36,920 Like this is simple. I Kia furniture for my move next week. 709 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,400 Moving sucks. Why do I have all this crap? Moving does suck? 710 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,519 It was like ox. It was the worst when, like you know, 711 00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:49,079 every one of my family, my two brothers, and I were like similar 712 00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:52,840 ages, and it was that age where people were moving a lot because they're 713 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,960 going for me in college, out of college, their first little like apartment 714 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,639 to their little home to their bigger home, and every time help them move. 715 00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:01,159 And I was just over it. I'd like, I'm like, I'm 716 00:45:01,199 --> 00:45:05,199 not hoping him want to move again, I'll give you the money for the 717 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,039 movers. I can't do there. My brother is in there right now. 718 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:13,880 I got so tired of moving people like gosh, I like this house. 719 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,960 I hope this house would do me. I hope I just die in this 720 00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:17,440 house. I don't want to ever move. It's the worst. Yep, 721 00:45:17,519 --> 00:45:22,159 I don't ever want to move again. I hate it. Yea and Daci. 722 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,719 I mean, you're gonna disassemble, You're gonna a ton of work to 723 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,239 get stuff ready, and then you probably still won't even have enough space for 724 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,920 everything for like the trucks. Just start throwing stuff out now, I mean 725 00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:34,360 honestly, and putting in reassembling that Kia furniture is such a pain too, 726 00:45:34,519 --> 00:45:38,519 So don't get precious about anything. That's a big Yeah, that's so true. 727 00:45:38,559 --> 00:45:42,679 I mean I gotta do just a clean sleep of just getting rid of 728 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,000 some stuff, throwing away some of this garbage especially. I definitely had this 729 00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:50,239 place. Now I'm like, why do I have a place issue for box? 730 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,719 Still? Who cares? Oh yeah, yes, I did get over 731 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,280 the speed. I love looking at boxes because it's like all the promise of 732 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,920 that thing. It's like so much more exciting a lot times than the actual 733 00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:04,079 thing. But yeah, I've started throwing out all those boxes. Okay, 734 00:46:04,119 --> 00:46:07,840 Angel Palmer says, and two separate super jets here. Have you heard any 735 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,760 update from your sources regarding PlayStation buying Square? Will it happen? I mean 736 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,199 no, like that that was always like they were having that conversation at that 737 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,000 time, and then Square was sort of position itself to be acquired, and 738 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,639 I was not the only one hearing that. There was multiple people hearing that 739 00:46:22,679 --> 00:46:23,920 at the same time. So it's like, oh, that's something. It 740 00:46:24,039 --> 00:46:29,400 might be there, but as as it usually goes, when we hear about 741 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,159 an acquisition before it happens, it probably means it's not going to happen, 742 00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:36,800 like because people have already sort of been like, uh, yeah, we'll 743 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,880 talk about this because it's already fizzled out. Otherwise it would be a potential 744 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:45,320 SEC violation and we don't want to do that do that. So I haven't 745 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:50,960 heard anything new. I think it's more unlikely now than before, but it's 746 00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:54,840 still not impossible. Jim E. Taledo says, I just bought a steam 747 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,880 deck. It's suddenly I keep hearing about the as ro Og handheld coming up. 748 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,480 Was this a poorly time to purchase? Or is this the height machine 749 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,760 making me doubt myself? Yeah, I mean it's a little bit of column 750 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,920 a little bit of com column by like that's how buying hardware goes, especially 751 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:14,480 anything in the PC realm. But I will say that, don't don't feel 752 00:47:14,519 --> 00:47:17,639 that too much. The the acis rog is, the ally is very very 753 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,960 cool. It's very powerful. Uh, it's got a lot of cool stuff 754 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,559 going for it. But I still don't love the idea of a Windows eleven 755 00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:30,000 native handheld For most people I think if you are someone who loves tinkering and 756 00:47:30,199 --> 00:47:35,239 making and getting stuff like set up yourself, that'll be fine. But the 757 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,639 way that Valve has turned the steam Deck into a most mostly excuse me, 758 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:44,679 a mostly consoleized experience where it has that check mark, you're gonna be able 759 00:47:44,679 --> 00:47:46,519 to turn it on. It's just gonna go. And then if you if 760 00:47:46,559 --> 00:47:50,800 you go through through the community, they'll get all the emulation stuff set up 761 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,920 for you, and they'll use all the buttons in the correct way. And 762 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:57,280 how all the buttons set up that stuff is like, it's it's that we're 763 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,480 not overselling that. But I say that that's actually it rules and it makes 764 00:48:00,519 --> 00:48:04,119 the experience so much better. And so yeah, I think the steam Deck 765 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,760 is completely fine. And most games, even modern games, run really well 766 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:12,880 in the Steam Deck. You're gonna be totally fine. The charter Wolf says, 767 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,679 how about the Jedi Survivor Metacritics score, Mike, I don't know if 768 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,480 you saw this, Jeff, It's come in at I think in eighty six. 769 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,480 I guess in eighty eight, you guess in eighty seven. So on 770 00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:28,599 our quarterly Metacritic game at least right now, the stuff's changed sometimes you have 771 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,800 the point on that that that game in particular feels like one that could jump 772 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,719 up two points between now and the end of the quarter. He could jump 773 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,880 up one point also give you like two points though, yeah it could. 774 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,960 But I mean it's like if any if anything was gonna like skip past me, 775 00:48:42,039 --> 00:48:45,719 it's going to be this one because I think as the patches come in 776 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,800 and later reviews come in, I think they will mostly be higher. Were 777 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,280 both sure we're close on that one again though, so yeah, hey, 778 00:48:52,519 --> 00:48:57,159 and we usually know what we're talking about usually shouldgar Amamoto says, Wait, 779 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:05,800 why is this guy's name Tokoto? Don't worry about that, mister h our 780 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,440 right Goal says, do you think the cma BS is affecting hiring at Blizzard 781 00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:14,960 in others? I mean not as much as other things is affecting hiring at 782 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,679 Blizzard working from home and lizards biggest thing is like, yes, this was 783 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:23,159 having to work in an office and then and then continuing to protect toxic people 784 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,400 or the history of protecting toxic people, and like like why would I want 785 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,679 to go work there? It's so interesting seeing like what was once They're one 786 00:49:30,679 --> 00:49:34,880 of their biggest strengths, which was this every giant work there? Well that 787 00:49:35,079 --> 00:49:37,960 but like this giant elaborate campus. Oh sure, yet had that? Like 788 00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:40,679 they would you know, give tours of when the journals are around us. 789 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:45,000 This whole thing was statues everywhere, right, and it someone becomes this kind 790 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,880 of burden for them. And I'm sure part of the reason they want to 791 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,280 get people back to work is because, man, we're sure are spending a 792 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,480 lot of money for this ridiculous campus in Irvine, California. But you know 793 00:49:55,559 --> 00:49:59,679 what, maybe just sell the campus. Yeah, I mean, honestly, 794 00:49:59,679 --> 00:50:02,400 I think that that is the big thing. It is a real estate investment 795 00:50:02,599 --> 00:50:06,400 that is going to be worth a lot less and less people are inside of 796 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,920 it working there, and that it is all about protecting the real estate investment, 797 00:50:10,039 --> 00:50:15,480 which is just an insane thing when you think about it. Connoll Woods 798 00:50:15,519 --> 00:50:20,599 says, So the CMA would let Sony by activision, huh, Who, 799 00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:23,199 I have no idea. I mean, we can speculate all we want. 800 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:30,920 Um. I do think Microsoft it's a that's a that's Microsoft spending sixty one 801 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,679 billion dollars to acquire something. I think definitely rings differently for a lot of 802 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,440 these regulators than Sony. But we don't. We just don't know. And 803 00:50:38,519 --> 00:50:43,320 then uh rd X son of Effete says, will Activision be okay? If 804 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,760 the deal fails, will call of Duty affect? All of duty will keep 805 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,039 coming out for the most part. Me, it's probably gonna miss year eventually. 806 00:50:49,039 --> 00:50:52,199 We've said that before, and it was going to originally kind of miss 807 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:57,960 this year a kind of uh, kind of um. But yes, Activision 808 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,599 will be well, we'll have to have figure out of stuff out and I 809 00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:02,519 don't think it's gonna be okay long term. But if you if you're one 810 00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:06,280 thing from activis you care about is call of Duty, You're gonna keep getting 811 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,960 Call of Duty games that you're gonna be fine for the most part. All 812 00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:10,519 right, that's it for the Supers. That's for now. That was a 813 00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:13,920 bunch of them. Thank you everybody.

I'm like, this is gonna be worth five hundred dollars. 826 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,639 When he says no, I'm not throwing you. If you take care of 827 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,159 your PlayStation five bucks, it'll definitely be worth that much because the PlayStation five 828 00:52:04,199 --> 00:52:13,800 bucks is so flimsy and almost the hundreds more on eBay. If they're like, 829 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,280 though, I'm not, I'm just I know because you're a weirdo, 830 00:52:16,519 --> 00:52:20,039 like you'll need a PS four, Well you need a PS four four. 831 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,280 Okay, Look I have the Pietro Jackoon Saga Kweden Bucks. That's going to 832 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,719 pay for my retirement already.

If it's your first time watching slash listening, here's 835 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:43,079 a quick roundup of the rules. Is a metacric score prediction game where the 836 00:52:43,159 --> 00:52:45,280 guys will be given a game, a little bit of information on it, 837 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:52,679 and they need to correctly guess the current metacric score on metacriic dot com. 838 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:57,119 I say metacric enough. Yet, if they nail it exactly, they get 839 00:52:57,199 --> 00:53:00,760 five points reduced from their score. If they get further away from the score 840 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,519 in one direction or another, they will gain a point for each point they're 841 00:53:04,559 --> 00:53:07,800 deviated. As the golf pun implies, the goal is to have the lowest 842 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:12,760 score at the end of it all, gentlemen, are you ready? You've 843 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:20,800 got one rule? The good guy always wins. Bet me one last time. 844 00:53:21,079 --> 00:53:22,280 I think I couldn't remember, Actually I was. I was taking shot 845 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,119 in the dark there. I think I won last time, So okay, 846 00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:27,719 could Yeah. I also couldn't be bared to check. So I'm just gonna 847 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,480 say, Jeff, one last I think it did. Actually that sounds right. 848 00:53:30,679 --> 00:53:35,679 I'm pretty sure you did. Mike. You will be making the first 849 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,679 guests here. Tell me what do you think class again? Yes, series 850 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:45,480 Zelda too, The Adventure of Link has released for the Game Boy Advance October 851 00:53:45,559 --> 00:53:50,519 twenty fifth, two thousand and four, with eight eight count them critic reviews. 852 00:53:50,679 --> 00:53:52,840 Okay, this is interesting because, man, I feel like, especially 853 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:58,719 two thousand and four, people were not very high on Zolda two The Adventure 854 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,119 of It. It's still a Zoda game. Can't be ridiculous. But I 855 00:54:01,159 --> 00:54:07,920 remember those those any Es things were also really overpriced. Okay, this could 856 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,679 be wild, Jeff. I'm thinking a lot of different things here too. 857 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:19,480 I want to say, like seventy five. Fuck what Okay, it's literally 858 00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:22,559 the number that was in my head. Right, well, thanks to you're 859 00:54:22,639 --> 00:54:24,480 stupid rule, you can pick the same number, not a stupid rules, 860 00:54:24,519 --> 00:54:27,639 the right rule. I'm not gonna pick the same number. I'm gonna go 861 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,039 seventy six. Why do we have the rule? Because sometimes I want to 862 00:54:31,079 --> 00:54:36,840 do the rule? What do you mean it's a good thing we have this 863 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,000 rule? Sorry, and pick the exact number that was saying. O going 864 00:54:40,039 --> 00:54:47,400 to do that? Okay either way. Currently classic n y S series Cole 865 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:59,440 and Zelda to Cole and the Adventure of Lank has seventy three. All right, 866 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,480 there we go? All right? Mike with two points on board Jeff 867 00:55:02,519 --> 00:55:07,880 with three. Remember that means Mike is currently in the lead. Ray game 868 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:14,280 number two is Call of Duty Modern Warfare three, the Xbox three sixty version, 869 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:20,239 release November eighth, twenty eleven. Eighty one. Critic reviews, Jeff, 870 00:55:20,599 --> 00:55:22,679 I don't know where you're typing the chat right now, since I can't 871 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:27,440 see it people making fun of him. First, I am just laying down 872 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,760 the law. Um, I am gone your move, creep your mind, 873 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:37,719 cema. No, that's that's just dread. That's just basically um okay, 874 00:55:37,199 --> 00:55:44,239 I'm gonna go with tough because these games were getting very high reviews at this 875 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,000 time. Modern Warfare three I feel like maybe had a little bit. It's 876 00:55:47,039 --> 00:55:51,519 hard to say because like Modern Warfare three, sure the long term tail of 877 00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:53,480 that was not he that's not as good as my war Modern Warfare two. 878 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:59,320 Does that show up in the reviews? Though? Um, I'm gonna go 879 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:07,400 with in eighty eight, good old eighty eight eight. How are we like 880 00:56:07,519 --> 00:56:12,480 this? The one to go around eighty I was thinking the exact same thing. 881 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,000 I think it was starting to like come back down to earth a bit 882 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:20,519 in terms of like critics not being in sync with just the popularity the series 883 00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:22,039 was still super high, but the critics were getting a little over it, 884 00:56:22,519 --> 00:56:27,320 but they were still into it. I'll say eighty nine, okay, Mike, 885 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:35,480 going slightly higher, all right. Call of Duty Modern Warfare three on 886 00:56:35,639 --> 00:56:43,679 next by three sixty is sitting at a eighty eight. That means Jeff has 887 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:52,119 five points for reduced Mike, actually should have you run. It's a good 888 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:57,559 rule. Jesus Christ, he's been turned anyways, Mike, I need you 889 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:02,119 tell me what you think. Kills Zone, the original original Kill Zone on 890 00:57:02,159 --> 00:57:07,079 PlayStation two PlayStation two, November second, two thousand and four. A lot 891 00:57:07,159 --> 00:57:10,239 of reviews. I'm a little surprised by this one sixty seven critic reviews for 892 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:14,880 a lot of video game reviewers in like two thousand and four, there's a 893 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:21,719 fun of them. Um, Penny, shut up. Uh no, it's 894 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:30,079 lower than that, Penny. No, I'm gonna say seventy two seventy two, 895 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:37,159 all right. I am gonna go with and only because I have such 896 00:57:37,159 --> 00:57:42,280 a large lead. Uh, but I'm not gonna blow it all right now, 897 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:47,960 I'm gonna go with seventy five seventy five, all right, Sol slightly 898 00:57:49,039 --> 00:57:52,239 more middling scores from you guys here you don't think it did particularly well. 899 00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:55,599 No, no, I don't just want does did not do well? Kills 900 00:57:55,639 --> 00:58:00,159 In two wants some people back, and even then it was lukewarmish. I 901 00:58:00,239 --> 00:58:02,880 want to say seventy five, okay, okay, fair enough. Well, 902 00:58:04,119 --> 00:58:09,880 the original Kill Zone got a seventy cumulatively, it was even lower than you, 903 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,760 which means that Mike currently assists with five points on board Jeff with three. 904 00:58:17,039 --> 00:58:20,880 Gap is closing a little bit there. You know, I want two 905 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,519 of these? Two is one. That's how I'm keeping score. Actually, 906 00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:24,599 oh my good, that doesn't sound right. Well, I think the actual 907 00:58:24,639 --> 00:58:29,719 official score is going to be five to three until it changes. Game number 908 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:37,239 four is Cave Story, the we release March twenty second, twenty ten. 909 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:42,320 I ours it was that late two on ton based on twenty five critic reviews. 910 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,599 Jeff, is your turn to pick first. I'm gonna I'm gonna go 911 00:58:46,039 --> 00:58:52,760 with eighty nine. Eighty nine, all right, this was one of like 912 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:57,360 the first like, oh my gosh, they made a game like Super Metroid. 913 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:00,559 People love the I love Cave Story. I've never played it. Love 914 00:59:00,599 --> 00:59:02,960 it a little too much. I think it's I think Cave Story is a 915 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,280 bit over it people how much they should love things. Mike, that's a 916 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:13,280 good idea. How I like it? Um, I think you might be 917 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,519 right, but I want to like. I think it's lower, but I'm 918 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,800 I think I might even be lower. But I think I have some biasers, 919 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:23,400 So I'll be safe and say eighty eight stick in the ballpark, all 920 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,280 right? Yeah, I want to say eighty five. Maybe I should have, 921 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,360 but I'm gonna say eighty eight. Actually, well, fan favorite cave 922 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:35,519 story, which by the way, basically invented at the Marnindy game not braid. 923 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:45,360 Michael is saying at a eighty nine at a boy, Jeff, another 924 00:59:45,559 --> 00:59:52,519 five from your seat story to cheating like last night. I think last time 925 00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:54,000 you got too as well. I'm ran the nose. Very good, very 926 00:59:54,039 --> 00:59:59,559 good. Yeah, I'm very good at this. Yeah, game number five 927 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:07,400 last one here get Stories overrated now I think it perfectly rated. It's even 928 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:14,039 more overrated than it was two minutes and good time Star Wars at Battlefront to 929 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,760 this is the classic game, but here's the twist. Release for the PlayStation 930 01:00:19,039 --> 01:00:23,199 portable October thirty first, two thousand and five, A very nice Halloween. 931 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,760 In my brain, every game has the same exact score. I'm sorry, 932 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:32,440 Sean, I thought you were sent Yeah, basically, Um, it's just 933 01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:36,639 weird because as much as people like talked about these games later, they weren't 934 01:00:36,639 --> 01:00:39,360 reviewed amazingly well. I think they were all like low eighties. And then 935 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:43,239 I feel like the PSP version's got to be a bit less than that because 936 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:50,320 it's on the PSP. I'll say, seventy eight still a good score. 937 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,039 I'm gonna go I'm gonna say it's gonna score better because it's on the PSP, 938 01:00:54,639 --> 01:00:58,039 because I think people are going to be more impressed, and they're gonna 939 01:00:58,039 --> 01:00:59,920 be I can have it on the go and this makes it make more sense, 940 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:01,480 and then the people who are reviewing it are going to be people who 941 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:07,320 are grateful that PSP's getting anything. So I'm gonna go with eighty eighty. 942 01:01:07,519 --> 01:01:12,000 Okay, Well, our scores are allowed to. I can say people on 943 01:01:12,239 --> 01:01:15,079 the fans things were definitely disappointed by this version of the game, because who 944 01:01:15,079 --> 01:01:20,960 would have thought this game kind of sucks without a second analog stick sometimes makes 945 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,440 it a little bit awkward. Sometimes. I'm curious how much that affected the 946 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:29,000 reviews, though, Well, a score that's our wars be out front to 947 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:38,960 PSP ports currently has on metacraig dot com is come on sixty nine? Wow? 948 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:43,039 Nice, I should have gone way lower. I could have made up 949 01:01:43,079 --> 01:01:45,920 some room here. I had the right idea. I just didn't really reflect 950 01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:52,800 my reasoning and my score enough. Christ Yeah, Mike gains nine points, 951 01:01:52,960 --> 01:02:00,159 Jeff gains eleven. So yeah, clearly they definitely thought that's always my goals 952 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:07,320 like some people. Mike with fifteen, Jeff with nine. That game messed 953 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,199 both of you. But Jeff like game in single digits there, so you 954 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:14,440 pulled out the win. Very nicely done, gentlemen, Thank you very much. 955 01:02:14,599 --> 01:02:15,239 That was That was a lot of fun. Thank you, Sean. 956 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:19,360 I really appreciate it all right time.

We are going to take turns 987 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:30,679 choosing a game from this generation until we have twelve games each, and then 988 01:04:30,079 --> 01:04:33,199 our podcast producers will vote that as the binding vote. We'll give everyone a 989 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:38,440 chance to vote though, of course, as always, Mike, I think 990 01:04:38,599 --> 01:04:41,519 I won last time. Yes, I won last time, So that means 991 01:04:41,639 --> 01:04:46,199 you are up first? Why am I down here? I'll fix it a 992 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:51,079 second, okay, yeah first? Um, yeah, this is terrifying. 993 01:04:51,159 --> 01:04:56,159 Actually, I don't really know. I don't know what should be the first 994 01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:01,360 round pick. I know what games like kind of sold the best on this 995 01:05:01,559 --> 01:05:04,960 platform, and some of them I feel like don't play very well to our 996 01:05:05,039 --> 01:05:13,880 audience. Right, Uh so that's a weird thing. Like some of them 997 01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,800 are actually last gen which is weird like like Grand Theft Auto five that's actually 998 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:24,760 last gen Skyrim that is just straight up last gen. Actually, um, 999 01:05:27,039 --> 01:05:30,000 how are we How are we feeling about like cross gen games? How are 1000 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,639 you feeling about those? Um? I think if it launched on both of 1001 01:05:34,719 --> 01:05:39,119 them, like if you really wanted to get Black Flag, which maybe came 1002 01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:43,440 out like a month later, that's okay. Uh, because the one I'm 1003 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,119 thinking of, I think, okay, this is maybe a little weird for 1004 01:05:46,119 --> 01:05:50,280 first round pick, but I actually do like it. Whatcher three is that? 1005 01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:54,239 It is that your choice? Like the Wicher three is my first pick. 1006 01:05:54,920 --> 01:06:00,239 I think it's the best of the RPGs of this generation, so I 1007 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,920 think that's really important. I think it's a game people still really like today. 1008 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,480 It's a game a lot of people don't just like they love this game. 1009 01:06:08,039 --> 01:06:12,000 So uh yeah, I think I feel pretty good about what or three? 1010 01:06:12,039 --> 01:06:15,840 Actually? Uh okay, this is why I asked, because what about 1011 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:20,280 the other direction of cross gen games? Uh? Could I mean, I 1012 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,920 say, say, Mario Card eight, if you want it's the worst version. 1013 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,480 I was going to say the legend is Elder Breath of the Wild for 1014 01:06:26,559 --> 01:06:38,440 we ye, oh shit, I would like chat to actually help on that 1015 01:06:38,559 --> 01:06:41,039 one. Yeah, okay, that's fair. I'm just gonna I'm gonna don't 1016 01:06:41,039 --> 01:06:44,519 know, uh, you know what, let's um. I never think of 1017 01:06:44,599 --> 01:06:47,960 it as a LEU game. I don't sure. Yeah, for sure, 1018 01:06:48,159 --> 01:06:53,360 me neither. Um, but it is it is. But you know, 1019 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,119 we'll just have We're gonna have the live chat. I've decide this right now 1020 01:06:57,239 --> 01:07:00,079 in a hang on, in a poll question, I will say, if 1021 01:07:00,119 --> 01:07:01,639 you did do it, I would want you to put in parentheses for everyone 1022 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,199 you. I was gonna do that. Yes, I was going to do 1023 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:10,639 that, all right, and do a real quick pull. Here we do 1024 01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:16,239 a while. All right, that's that's rolling out. In the meantime. 1025 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,039 Let me look because they're probably gonna say no to me. Oh no, 1026 01:07:20,199 --> 01:07:23,719 let's see here. Yeah, I don't know. Some people are saying, 1027 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:29,199 yes, uh, let's give it a second, because it's going to take 1028 01:07:29,199 --> 01:07:31,840 it. Give it a second. Um, all right, I'm looking thinking, 1029 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,320 I'm looking at I'm thinking, no, Jeff, it's overwhelming. You 1030 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,559 can do Breath of the Wild, all right, you should. Okay, 1031 01:07:36,639 --> 01:07:41,000 all right, it's overwhelming, and I don't really disgrudge it. It does 1032 01:07:41,119 --> 01:07:43,159 count, but I want you to say well you, yes, I will. 1033 01:07:43,239 --> 01:07:48,159 That's who's definitely going to Breath of the Wild. We interesting, okay, 1034 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:53,519 think of that. Okay, well, good on you. Uh, 1035 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,400 Mike, back to you while you're doing that. I chose Breath of the 1036 01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,599 Wild because it's fucking breath of the wild. Yeah. Interesting choice. Yeah, 1037 01:08:01,199 --> 01:08:04,360 I hope that explains my thinking. Yeah, I think I think you're 1038 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:10,719 covered now, You're good, Okay, Okay. I don't really think there's 1039 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:15,039 that many Mario the Wu games I would really pick now. I think most 1040 01:08:15,119 --> 01:08:17,760 of them kind of got better ports later on, or just got poured in 1041 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,079 We're better It got better sequel to switch. I think a lot of people 1042 01:08:21,159 --> 01:08:26,520 still like Mario Maker one more. I feel like everyone was higher on it 1043 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,600 back then. Is this right? Yeah, I'm gonna say Mario Maker. 1044 01:08:31,199 --> 01:08:40,840 I like that choice. Og Mario Maker. Okay, I like that choice 1045 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,680 a lot. Um. I mean people who love Mario Maker really love Mario 1046 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:50,159 Maker. Now I'm one of them. Um, I want to go with 1047 01:08:50,239 --> 01:08:54,720 a Nintendo strategy, you know me, Mike how that's always what I wanted 1048 01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,560 a weird generation to do that. It's a weird generation to do that. 1049 01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:05,840 So instead I'm going to choose Bloodborn. I'm yeah, Bloodborn, because I 1050 01:09:06,079 --> 01:09:11,960 think there are a lot of Bloodborn freaks out there, and I think that's 1051 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,479 gonna help. I mean, you know, it's when I think of defining 1052 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:20,560 PlayStation four games. Uh, it's blood Born, Yes it is. I 1053 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:25,279 am going to have to immediately come right back and take Saccaro then, yeah, 1054 01:09:25,319 --> 01:09:28,680 I'm not going to mess around. That's a completely fair move because last 1055 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,039 time you got I think like Dark Souls, and I like didn't. So 1056 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,359 you know I'm going to jump in right now and get s Yeah. Yeah, 1057 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,000 yeah. I think that's one of the things we've learned is you gotta 1058 01:09:38,039 --> 01:09:41,600 have a from game. You gotta have a from game on here. Um, 1059 01:09:42,039 --> 01:09:49,159 okay, it's it does feel like there are there are a couple more 1060 01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:51,800 big boys on the board, and I got to decide which one I want. 1061 01:09:53,399 --> 01:10:03,760 Um at least I think undeniable big Boys and I think and this is 1062 01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,680 a hard one for me because neither of them are really my game. Um. 1063 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,159 You know, I do want to say, like, there are a 1064 01:10:10,239 --> 01:10:13,439 lot of games I know like later that I think of us places of five 1065 01:10:14,079 --> 01:10:17,720 in uh Xbox series X games that I know got like like Lake Gen Ports, 1066 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,279 I don't think we should really consider those for example, like I don't 1067 01:10:21,399 --> 01:10:25,920 we shouldn't really consider elden Ring. No, well I was going to do 1068 01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:29,119 elden Ring. Yeah, god, yeah, yeah, because I agree. 1069 01:10:29,199 --> 01:10:30,960 Yeah, I just want to say that because I see I saw that in 1070 01:10:30,079 --> 01:10:31,960 chat, like, yeah, I get it. But you know, we're 1071 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,920 thinking about you know, I know part of it is a nebulous and it's 1072 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:39,159 kind of hard to really define these things that it's almost more of a feeling. 1073 01:10:39,319 --> 01:10:41,600 But I don't think elter Ring is really in the spirit of what we're 1074 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,279 drafting here. Yeah, I think elden Ring came out during the next generation, 1075 01:10:45,359 --> 01:10:47,880 even though it was on multiple platforms. Yeah, it's hard to say, 1076 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:49,680 it's hard to define, but I agree. I agree with that. 1077 01:10:50,359 --> 01:10:56,000 Um okay, I think I'm going to go with well, let me look 1078 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:57,760 at what I got. I gotten to that got that. I think I'm 1079 01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,920 gonna go with red dead redemption too interesting, Sea. I wonder if I 1080 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,079 can lait on that one, just because you don't like it, right, 1081 01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:09,560 Yeah, it's but it's like there's there's ones that I know are like headline 1082 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,640 grabbing, attention grabbing, and I know that one's one of those. Yeah. 1083 01:11:14,079 --> 01:11:16,279 People. Yeah, it's a big one. It's weird because it's like, 1084 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,000 definitely one of the best songs in that generation. The people who don't 1085 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,560 like it really don't like it, but a lot of people really like it. 1086 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,640 One. I think it's probably more of a crowd pleaser in general. 1087 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,800 Maybe doesn't swing quite as high, but maybe those for people. Is Marvel's 1088 01:11:32,079 --> 01:11:36,680 Spider Man. I'm gonna thing Insomnix Spider Man game as is my next one. 1089 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:43,119 I think maybe the most fun open world game or not. That one 1090 01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:46,199 feels like a really strong one because most people, more people I think just 1091 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,479 like playing Spider Man. Then, Um, a lot of the games that 1092 01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:54,520 are going to be left on this list, Uh, I think that's right. 1093 01:11:55,359 --> 01:11:57,880 Yeah, people love It's like one that didn't win a lot of Game 1094 01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,800 of the Years, and I don't think that matters because I think it's like 1095 01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:02,079 it has. I think it's has a much stronger legacy than a lot of 1096 01:12:02,159 --> 01:12:06,119 other games that even came out that year. Um, I am gonna go 1097 01:12:06,199 --> 01:12:10,079 with the other one I was considering, which I was not even thinking about 1098 01:12:10,079 --> 01:12:13,439 Spider Man, and now I feel really dumb. Um, I'm gonna go 1099 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,000 with God of War Okay, I think I think I think that does a 1100 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,199 good job of countering that. It's um, I think Spider Man is still 1101 01:12:20,279 --> 01:12:25,439 even more popular. But I think God of Wars right there. I think 1102 01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:27,680 that's right. I was thinking about God of War also, and I could 1103 01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,960 have maybe done that first. Um. Yeah, it's I don't know, 1104 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,239 honestly. Now, I wish I would have remembered Spider Man. Okay, 1105 01:12:36,199 --> 01:12:45,800 m there's a couple of directions I can go here. Huh. Okay, 1106 01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,800 Jeff, I think that actually we're all missing the real big picture here. 1107 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:56,439 I don't think it's about graphics or gameplay. I think it's all about seasons. 1108 01:12:58,279 --> 01:13:00,039 That's why I'm gonna pick for the Horizon and four, all right. 1109 01:13:00,079 --> 01:13:03,680 I like that. I like that's my next one here, all right, 1110 01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,800 probably probably, I feel like one it has to be maybe the most popular 1111 01:13:08,039 --> 01:13:10,199 racing game he's supposed to talk about. I don't even know that. I 1112 01:13:10,199 --> 01:13:13,319 don't even know what, like what racing game I would really counterpick with at 1113 01:13:13,359 --> 01:13:16,479 that point. Um, but I do. I'm gonna wait on that one. 1114 01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,600 I think I can get away with doing that one later. Yeah, 1115 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:28,640 excuse me, Um, I could know that's that's we you know. Um, 1116 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:34,319 well, no, I'm like trying. I'm like trying. I'm trying 1117 01:13:34,319 --> 01:13:38,279 to think of like because you just branched out into racing games, and I'm 1118 01:13:38,279 --> 01:13:40,760 like, okay, should I be thinking about other genres? I could begin 1119 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:47,319 plugging the whole of Um, I think I'm gonna go with an RPG, 1120 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:51,960 and I think I'm gonna do Persona five. Yeah? What did you pick 1121 01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,359 persona five last time? Did I? If I did, let's not count 1122 01:13:56,399 --> 01:13:59,119 it this time? Should we? Okay? Because I'm okay because I can't 1123 01:13:59,159 --> 01:14:00,840 remember. I think now that you say that, I feel like I did. 1124 01:14:02,199 --> 01:14:05,319 Yeah, I think you might have no get checked because that person that 1125 01:14:05,399 --> 01:14:09,079 place store our list, right, that was funny. Yeah, we could 1126 01:14:09,119 --> 01:14:11,079 just like look at that, right, we just put we put that in 1127 01:14:11,159 --> 01:14:15,439 our You retweeted it? Yeah, didn't you text it to me? You're 1128 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,119 like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's right here. Yeah I did. 1129 01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,359 I didn't do it last time. I feel like I did a persona 1130 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,239 like that. But I must must have been a personation so far. I 1131 01:14:25,319 --> 01:14:27,439 think persona fies. Fine, then no, you okay, all right, 1132 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,079 I'm gonna Persona five then that's pretty good. Yes, I think that's the 1133 01:14:30,159 --> 01:14:34,239 one. Yeah, I think that's the big RPG at least that should Yeah, 1134 01:14:34,319 --> 01:14:44,880 that feels right. Oh okay, I m hmmm. I'm gonna wait 1135 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,239 on that because it's not it's not it's kind of a counter pick, not 1136 01:14:47,399 --> 01:14:49,760 a sexy I don't think you're gonna also right, Yeah, we're right, 1137 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,920 that's what. I'm also in that same zone with a lot of the things 1138 01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:56,000 going through my head right now. Yeah, I okay, I'm actually gonna 1139 01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:00,640 go, oh yeah, this route. I'm going to pick a fighting game. 1140 01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,760 I think probably the biggest of that ennition. I'm gonna pick Mortal Kombat 1141 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:11,239 ten. Mortal Kombat ten. That's another crowd pleaser that's gonna go. I 1142 01:15:11,359 --> 01:15:13,600 know, it's like maybe because a little mix, because like nine, ten, 1143 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:15,920 eleven are all good. This was the one that's really in the middle 1144 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,159 of that generation. I know. I liked that one quite a lot because 1145 01:15:19,159 --> 01:15:21,600 it kind of almost stood on its own, Like eleven has a weird time 1146 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:26,520 travel thing. Nine was like the big reboots. Mortal Kombat ten was just 1147 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,319 awesome. It really felt like, oh, Mortal Kombat is like the biggest 1148 01:15:29,359 --> 01:15:31,439 thing in the world again when that came out. So yeah, I feel 1149 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:35,319 good about Mortal Kombat. I think for the rest of my picks, for 1150 01:15:35,399 --> 01:15:39,079 many of these peaks, I'm gonna go with ones that I know have their 1151 01:15:39,199 --> 01:15:43,000 own fan base. I think that is a good strategy. I think it's 1152 01:15:43,039 --> 01:15:45,800 like it's instead of trying to plug genres, I'm gonna go with things that 1153 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,439 I know if I were to go online and search for it on Twitter, 1154 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:54,319 there would be people posting fan art, and that brings me to near Automata. 1155 01:15:56,319 --> 01:15:59,600 Fuh, that's a good pick. I think. I think that is 1156 01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,319 one where it's like, oh yeah, there are people out there that just 1157 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,600 live and breathe nero automata in a way, that's a good pick that like, 1158 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,119 Yes, especially I think at number seven or number six, I think 1159 01:16:09,159 --> 01:16:12,960 that's I feel good about that one too. I think that's a very good 1160 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,399 pick. It is one like just like wasn't thinking about as much as I 1161 01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:26,680 should have. Uh between a tough spot. That puts me in a tough 1162 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:31,520 spot. Uh, okay, maybe I need to pull from myself a little 1163 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:40,960 bit here. Wait, m okay, I do kind of have a similar 1164 01:16:41,039 --> 01:16:44,640 thing I can do here. Man, I just thought of a good one. 1165 01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,239 I'm like, I'm not sure it's it's gonna play anywhere before late, 1166 01:16:47,279 --> 01:16:49,680 and I'm afraid you might take it otherwise. Yeah, I need to check 1167 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:54,159 something real quick, excuse me, Yeah, no problem. So for audio 1168 01:16:54,199 --> 01:16:58,439 listeners, uh, the Mike e you and that's of course Mikey with two 1169 01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,199 Eyes is the Witcher three, Super Mario, Makers, Secco, Marvel, 1170 01:17:01,279 --> 01:17:05,600 Spider Man, Fort's Rising four, Mortal Kombat X, the Jeffbox One. 1171 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,960 The all in one entertainment system is Zelder, Breath of the Wild for we 1172 01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:14,439 you, Bloodborne, Red Dead, Redemption to God of War, Persona five, 1173 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:18,920 and Near Automata. That is, we are officially halfway through. We 1174 01:17:19,039 --> 01:17:24,279 both have six picks left. All right, First, I have a question. 1175 01:17:25,359 --> 01:17:32,720 Yes, am I allowed to pick Hades? Huh? Hades came? 1176 01:17:33,399 --> 01:17:36,760 What? What? What is? Hadies out on its places? Four? 1177 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:43,920 Xbox one Switch the Like Layer series x S was overwhelmingly saying yes. So 1178 01:17:44,079 --> 01:17:47,000 yes, man, that's a good one. Give me. Yeah. Wow, 1179 01:17:47,239 --> 01:17:54,239 that's all that's yeah, Holy smokes, Okay, man, fucking love 1180 01:17:54,279 --> 01:17:59,560 Haighties. God love Haighties. Okay, that's really that one. May have 1181 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:03,319 saved prospects. Yeah, that's again, that's a really a strong pick at 1182 01:18:03,399 --> 01:18:09,800 that point. Okay, Um, I kind of feel like I don't have 1183 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,600 any other choice. I've been sticking with the strategy of like games that I 1184 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:20,199 know have an audience, and that's not it doesn't lead me to many great 1185 01:18:20,319 --> 01:18:28,119 thoughts. But well, no, I'm not gonna do that because I think 1186 01:18:28,119 --> 01:18:30,840 we kind of did that last time, and then that these consoles straddling ones 1187 01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:35,520 are weird. Um how many we have left? We have a five picks 1188 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:41,680 left. Um, okay, I'm gonna save that one, and I'm gonna 1189 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,520 go with one that I I'm not as sure about as I was with the 1190 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:46,720 last one, the previous injury in this series, when I thought was a 1191 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,359 good pick. But I still I'm gonna go with it and hope I get 1192 01:18:49,399 --> 01:18:57,439 similar returns A Batman Arkham Knight. I don't feel miss, I don't. 1193 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,640 I don't think miss. I don't think so. But it's I think it's 1194 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:02,600 um locked it in big mess. I don't think so, but it's I 1195 01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:06,520 don't think it's nearly as strong of a hit as Arkham A City was last 1196 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:10,760 time I picked it. You know, people kind of a down on that, 1197 01:19:11,239 --> 01:19:14,079 Yeah, yeah, but I think but I think people have mostly turned 1198 01:19:14,119 --> 01:19:19,399 around on it since Hollow Night Okay, that's a good one. That's a 1199 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:24,159 really good one. Man, I was not I've never even thought about Hollow 1200 01:19:24,199 --> 01:19:31,439 Knight in this one. Let's go fucking go. Thanks, just churned around 1201 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:39,000 the last two minutes here, let's go all right now now I'm thinking thanks 1202 01:19:39,039 --> 01:19:45,279 through again? Resident Evil seven? Okay, I can't I feel like that 1203 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,359 again. Ones that I know have an audience, ones that I know have 1204 01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:56,239 a following Resident Evil to remake. Oh that's a good one. That's a 1205 01:19:56,279 --> 01:20:03,520 good counter pick two mm hmmm. Um, all right, we have got 1206 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:08,159 okay, is it already just three left? Man? Yeah? You have 1207 01:20:08,199 --> 01:20:10,119 four left? I think I have three? Go off, that's right, 1208 01:20:10,159 --> 01:20:24,800 okay, thinking I want to say that one for the end, maybe I 1209 01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:33,319 m hm, does that play? Now? I think it plays now? 1210 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:39,399 Now, I'm I got a four left. Let me see if I can 1211 01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,800 think of my four and and kind of get confident that you wouldn't pick one 1212 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:56,079 of these? Um, what do I have in terms of multiplayer? Man? 1213 01:20:56,159 --> 01:20:59,239 I have I don't like. I just don't like my options for that. 1214 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,000 And it's like, I don't know if that holds up in a way 1215 01:21:02,319 --> 01:21:05,199 like that. People today would be excited to pick console because of that. 1216 01:21:06,119 --> 01:21:09,920 Um, and it's like a weird one. Uh. And you know, 1217 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,359 I think I one counts live service, so when we wouldn't be able to 1218 01:21:13,399 --> 01:21:23,000 do it, Um, I'm gonna go with Titan Fall two, I think. 1219 01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,000 Okay, I don't Yeah, yeah, good, I think yeah again, 1220 01:21:27,079 --> 01:21:29,479 I know a lot of people like that game. I love it so 1221 01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:30,479 but I think a lot of people like it. So I think that's pretty 1222 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:40,119 good. I mean it's pretty strong. H that is pretty strong. Uh 1223 01:21:43,199 --> 01:21:46,520 Oh, fancy seven remake. Oh that's a good one. That's that is 1224 01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:51,760 a really good choice. And I was then two remixs and that's like and 1225 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,880 I wasn't even thinking about remixes at all. I didn't have them like the 1226 01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,399 lined up like that. Yeah. But I mean, if if I get 1227 01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,479 rid of the resible to makes not call that, get rid of that rebake. 1228 01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,079 I don't want people thinking I have to be rebakes. It looks weird 1229 01:22:03,159 --> 01:22:08,439 like that. Get the brand DEAs appropriately, Okay, sure, yeah, 1230 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:18,199 we respect brand branding here on this show. Um. Oh, Monster Hunter 1231 01:22:18,279 --> 01:22:24,840 World, that's good. That's fine. I mean that's does that break our 1232 01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,840 live service will not? Really? You're fine. I think I think it 1233 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,520 has to be way more closer to Fortnite to be a live service game. 1234 01:22:31,039 --> 01:22:35,600 Yes, and that's nothing. That's not even close. Uh so what we 1235 01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:45,279 have? Um two two left each right? Yes? Okay, um okay, 1236 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:56,000 uh uncharted for uh yeah, this is I mean it would have been 1237 01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,119 weird if we left it off, and this would have been weird. And 1238 01:22:58,279 --> 01:23:00,520 I don't know, I know our like I feel like our audience. It's 1239 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,760 some people turning and started. But God's probably my favorite of the place's exclusive. 1240 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:06,640 I think a lot of people do still feel that way. I love 1241 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:17,479 and Charted four. Um, Like, I want to pick Rocket League that 1242 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,199 has turned into a live service game, but I don't think I don't think 1243 01:23:20,239 --> 01:23:25,119 it should really count. It's a multiplayer game and that's how people play live 1244 01:23:25,199 --> 01:23:29,960 service game. But then then it's like we can't choose any multiplayer games because 1245 01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,079 they were all kind of turned into that during this generation. Like, um, 1246 01:23:33,119 --> 01:23:36,479 I think that one is man, that is that is just is that 1247 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:42,680 not just like pure life service to me? I mean I'm looking at Chat 1248 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,399 and I mean I mean it's still be a live service now, but it's 1249 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,479 like, um okay, but that's what people are gonna think about. Then 1250 01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:50,520 is it as a live service game, like, well, that's a forever 1251 01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:55,079 game. I can't play forever. I don't know. I think my gun. 1252 01:23:55,119 --> 01:23:57,119 I really think it should count because it's like it did you get the 1253 01:23:57,199 --> 01:24:00,359 chat doesn't just say should uh should Lee counts? We'll see where it goes. 1254 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:04,119 All right, Okay, that was a paid game. It's a little 1255 01:24:04,159 --> 01:24:11,520 weird to me. It's a little weird to me. We'll pull that baby 1256 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,720 up, which is good because I need time to think about my last one. 1257 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:23,159 Anyways, I'm gonna vote no. Um okay, okay, let that 1258 01:24:23,199 --> 01:24:27,520 cook a little bit. You think about backups here? Yeah, I think 1259 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:39,800 about some other things. Um No, Now I know people are freaks for 1260 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,479 it, but I don't know about that. All right, but it is. 1261 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:46,079 It's going towards no. So I'm gonna in the poll and choose something 1262 01:24:46,119 --> 01:24:53,079 else. All right, So no Rocket League? Okay? Um, all 1263 01:24:53,119 --> 01:25:00,319 right. In that case, I'm gonna save that one. Then, I 1264 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:08,760 mean maybe instead go for mm hmmm, I'm gonna go with fire on them 1265 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:14,119 three houses. That's a switch game. Oh that's right? What am I 1266 01:25:14,159 --> 01:25:15,079 thinking? Yes, you're right? What what is was? Was there? 1267 01:25:15,279 --> 01:25:20,640 There was one? That's right? I'm thinking about there's yeah, there's no 1268 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:28,520 the fire emblows shamagummy tensey Yeah, yes, um okay, but a good 1269 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,520 one. Yeah, it would have been would have been very good if it 1270 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,840 was a good one. Ums right, get fired. But Warriors, Yeah, 1271 01:25:35,039 --> 01:25:40,520 that's that's a switch? Or am I wrong? Yeah? Was there 1272 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:44,079 even one of those on you? I don't think so, I want you 1273 01:25:44,159 --> 01:25:48,560 think it was Higher Warriors Highro Warriors. Yeah, let's say. Uh, 1274 01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,760 I kind of want to do that one, but that's you know, I'll 1275 01:25:55,760 --> 01:26:01,000 just I'll do a Super Mario three D World, okay, which I I 1276 01:26:01,159 --> 01:26:05,000 adore. It's weird because, like I, I don't know, I don't 1277 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,600 know if other people gonna think as far into this as I did. I 1278 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,359 was not that into that game until I got poored to switch for some reason, 1279 01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:14,880 and then I loved it. Yeah, I loved it right away. 1280 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:16,800 Get you at the world, so you have all the world games there, 1281 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:21,239 Muster Hunter World's Super Mario three D World. You know, Dan Rugger doesn't 1282 01:26:21,239 --> 01:26:24,520 even think this is a mainline Mario game. Jeff, I don't know what 1283 01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,760 you're thinking here. Yeah, but he doesn't. He says has nothing to 1284 01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:30,119 do with the quality, which is just also insane thing to say. But 1285 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:34,000 okay, last one for me? I went to three, four or five, 1286 01:26:34,119 --> 01:26:39,359 six, seven, eight? Okay, oof, there's that one I 1287 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:44,840 did think about. I just don't no, I just don't think it's big 1288 01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,880 enough. And I found I discovered something better for that d shit anyways, 1289 01:26:50,039 --> 01:27:00,239 So I think that's okay? Uh? Do I do? I you already 1290 01:27:00,279 --> 01:27:09,800 went against type once to get your okay? Yeah, all right, the 1291 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:15,880 Last of US part two. But I haven't charted four, you know what? 1292 01:27:16,239 --> 01:27:19,920 No, the hell with that game? I don't want it. I 1293 01:27:20,039 --> 01:27:27,039 would actually rather have but do Okay, do I want that one? Because 1294 01:27:27,039 --> 01:27:40,960 I could pick that one? Yeah, I'd rather would have. Uh think 1295 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,800 again, it just seems so so weird than Charter four. No, you're 1296 01:27:44,239 --> 01:27:45,960 no, they're right. Come on, Mike, saw your Pride? Okay? 1297 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,039 Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. The Last of US Part two? 1298 01:27:48,119 --> 01:27:54,039 Last US part two? Okay, part two? All right, he pulled 1299 01:27:54,039 --> 01:27:58,600 the trigger. Everybody, We're good? Oh my god? Uh yeah. 1300 01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,079 I feel that feels better than anything I was thinking of for my life. 1301 01:28:00,079 --> 01:28:02,399 I just don't like having it right after and charted four. But there it 1302 01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:08,560 is, sure, Um, yeah, I don't have a great one here. 1303 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,000 There's a bunch of like smaller games. I would love to I would 1304 01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,359 love to put like Ori in the Blind Forest on here and I thought about 1305 01:28:14,399 --> 01:28:16,039 Ori and then I was like, I should actually do Hollow Night. Huh 1306 01:28:16,279 --> 01:28:19,760 yeah, and a full disclosure like the game I was like thinking about was 1307 01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:23,960 Dragon Quest eleven. When you did Persona five, I was like, man, 1308 01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:28,119 I know the JRPG freaks like Dragon Quests eleven, but otherwise I don't 1309 01:28:28,159 --> 01:28:36,880 know. Yeah, um, okay, I'm thinking uh or I feel they're 1310 01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:41,840 like the PlayStation big Boys I was thinking about too basically it. Yeah, 1311 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,000 I feel like I got mine covered there. Uh. Like I'm always want 1312 01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,840 to do like another front game like The Dark Souls three, but that feels 1313 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:53,760 like overkill. Um, I don't know. It's good for a last pick, 1314 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:59,560 maybe not terrible. Secure you the from Soul's audience me if my lowly 1315 01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:08,039 one from software game m hmmm, I'm just gonna go with a big recognizable 1316 01:29:08,119 --> 01:29:13,520 name. Um, I'm gonna go just Doom. Oh yeah, that's a 1317 01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:15,800 great game. Doom. That's good. That's a good one. Yeah, 1318 01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,439 I like that. I think about that's um yeah, that that that seems 1319 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:23,560 right. Again, there's not a lot of great picks there, but yes, 1320 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:28,359 doom, I like that a lot. Actually, uh okay, right, 1321 01:29:28,399 --> 01:29:30,680 that's like it's one that like, oh my god, I even thought 1322 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,920 about this when we're thinking about Jeff. Somehow neither of us picked hit Man. 1323 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:40,800 Fuck I even i'd started Valley was there too, Oh my god, 1324 01:29:41,399 --> 01:29:44,680 one point we're done. I simply thought about him Man at one at one 1325 01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,479 minute, and I completely left my brain. I did not think about this 1326 01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:49,319 in time. I know when I was thinking about this, like a couple 1327 01:29:49,319 --> 01:29:50,520 of days ago, I was like, oh, yes, hit Man, 1328 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:56,199 I'll have to pick hit Man. Would have I was thinking when I was 1329 01:29:56,279 --> 01:29:58,560 like about to not do the Last of Us Part two, I was about 1330 01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:00,439 to do Ghost of Sushima instead. Right now, Mario Kart eight, I 1331 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,159 don't know, guys, because like Mario kait Ate, the lots is the 1332 01:30:03,199 --> 01:30:05,479 one people care about. But maybe it so it'll looked good in the it 1333 01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:09,600 would have looked it would have looked good. I thought it would have been 1334 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,960 bad. I want to get a chance to pick it for the next one, 1335 01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:13,960 so I didn't want to use it here and might be like, let's 1336 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:15,840 make it weird next time around. So yeah, we forgot a knack oh 1337 01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,880 America saw at five would have actually still been really good. People are right 1338 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,439 here. I'll just give us both knack. There we go, Nah, 1339 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:27,560 there you go? All right, um Sean, can you get a pull 1340 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,720 going for everybody? Well, we'll figure out. We'll do another one. 1341 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:32,520 We'll do the next one for the current generation. We could do as is 1342 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:36,199 and stuff. These drafts are fun. We'll keep it happening. They are 1343 01:30:36,319 --> 01:30:41,520 really fun. This was a good time this time, Jeff Um, I 1344 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,720 don't know, I feel pretty good. I'm not gonna be honest. That 1345 01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:46,560 was a big miss will Arkham Knight. I think I think that's what's maybe 1346 01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:49,920 is Yeah, But for you listen, I love this game, but Super 1347 01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:54,399 Mario making a number two is a way bigger mess. It's a way way 1348 01:30:54,399 --> 01:30:57,840 too early, way too early, way too early. I just like I 1349 01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:00,520 wanted a Nintendo representation, and I just don't think there's much great for we 1350 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:04,560 you. I don't know. Yeah, I think that's yeah, way too 1351 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:08,039 early. We'll see. But I still think I made up for it with 1352 01:31:08,319 --> 01:31:11,359 yeah good. I think as usually you had a better second half. I 1353 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:15,920 think my Hades Hall Night Resuva two than found fisty seven, like run pretty 1354 01:31:15,039 --> 01:31:18,800 late in the draft was pretty big for me. Yesto would have been good. 1355 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,239 Actually, be Attitwo would have been good. Okay. Tropic Donkey Kong, 1356 01:31:23,319 --> 01:31:25,880 Tropical Freeze Sumar Makers one of my favorite games of all time. But 1357 01:31:26,199 --> 01:31:29,279 yeah, maybe I just wanted to hurt you. That's why that's fair. 1358 01:31:30,159 --> 01:31:34,560 Uh okay, So let's see I will um sean you put up one in 1359 01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:40,119 the in the discord, I think, uh, I did think about shovel 1360 01:31:40,119 --> 01:31:43,560 at night. Yeah, started value was a good one. Let's go ahead 1361 01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,000 one. I can read some super chats while we maybe let some of this. 1362 01:31:46,279 --> 01:31:49,279 Ye, let's do battle itselves out a little bit. Here sounds good. 1363 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:53,760 Let me open those back up again. Somehow I closed them? Uh 1364 01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:59,319 all right. Next one I have here is from a rambling entertained He says, 1365 01:31:59,319 --> 01:32:03,119 do you guys know where did the CMA get sixty percent cloud gaming for 1366 01:32:03,279 --> 01:32:09,279 Microsoft? Because from what I have read so far, they used g the 1367 01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:14,560 game Pass Ultimate Numbers, which bundles cloud gaming with everything. I mean, 1368 01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,560 that's that's probably what they did. But was sixty percent what I don't I 1369 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,199 haven't seen that figure. I think they're saying that Microsoft has sixty percent of 1370 01:32:21,239 --> 01:32:26,199 the cloud gaming market right now. Rambling is saying, well, that's only 1371 01:32:26,279 --> 01:32:30,880 if you count people who quote unquote have like the Xbox Cloud gaming stuff because 1372 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:34,399 they have game pass ultimate. H Yeah, I think that they are. 1373 01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:36,880 I think that's a weird number. And I think Microsoft might be able to 1374 01:32:38,119 --> 01:32:40,720 I mean, I just don't know if the appeals process again, because the 1375 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,560 appeal that they're going to be able to make won't care about that. That 1376 01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:45,439 is not going to be a part of it. They're not going to want 1377 01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,319 to hear that because that's like arguing the point. They're only going to hear 1378 01:32:47,359 --> 01:32:50,359 if the CMA messed up. So it's like that that's a really good point. 1379 01:32:51,039 --> 01:32:54,640 Who's who's there to listen. I don't know if there's anyone there to 1380 01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:57,439 listen m or that. I mean, because if they cared about that, 1381 01:32:57,439 --> 01:33:00,319 they would have got that. They would have realized that at this point already. 1382 01:33:00,319 --> 01:33:02,159 So obviously they don't care to get that, right, Um, I 1383 01:33:02,239 --> 01:33:06,680 don't know. It's it's weird. Uh. Rice eat Or seventy nine says 1384 01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:13,600 fam fat seven remake Divinity Originals into Fortnite. So throwing some suggestions out there, 1385 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,399 granted we do say no suggestions, uh, but I never thought about 1386 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:19,439 people circumventing that with super chat, so I don't know. You know, 1387 01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:23,439 so why didn't you? Yeah, I mean yeah, we didn't see the 1388 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:29,720 super chests still after yes, uh, Shagary Miamoto says star No, Star 1389 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,239 Fucked Zero. I worked hard on this, look, mister Miamoto, I 1390 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,760 like Star Fuck Zero more than most people. I'm kind of a defender of 1391 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:41,680 that game. I'm sorry that everybody's a mean jerk, but it's the way 1392 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,439 that it is. It was real trash when I played three. Yeah, 1393 01:33:46,279 --> 01:33:49,479 yeah you did. You did hate it at E three and Turner Wolfe says 1394 01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:54,359 Megasalli five, guys, come on, that game plays goutt her. It 1395 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:59,119 is ums. It's just weird that whole games were to me because it is 1396 01:33:59,159 --> 01:34:03,000 so amazing, and it's just has such this weird stain on it for basically 1397 01:34:03,079 --> 01:34:08,239 having an unfinished story and just kind of this messy development. It's so bizarre 1398 01:34:08,279 --> 01:34:12,520 because that should have just been one of the undisputed best games of all time, 1399 01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:15,840 and instead it is like one of the great games of all time with 1400 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,600 an Asterix and it just makes me feel weird about Medica Solid five In twenty 1401 01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,520 twenty three, to be honest. All right, I gotta post it on 1402 01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:25,600 Twitter. We'll do we will do a chat pole here in a moment, 1403 01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:30,319 everybody, So just hold tight, all right. Well that's it for the 1404 01:34:30,359 --> 01:34:33,640 super chats, Jeff. If people want to get more in we will read 1405 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:35,479 them. Why don't we talk a little bit about while we're playing, while 1406 01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:39,960 we let some of these poles figure themselves out. How does this sound? 1407 01:34:40,159 --> 01:34:44,079 Sounds fantastic? Oh? Someone was running the chappol right now. Okay, 1408 01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:53,159 I am playing a video game called Star Wars Jedi Colon Survivor, and I 1409 01:34:53,279 --> 01:34:57,439 gotta say I'm not far into it, but I'm already really happy with what 1410 01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:02,239 it is. It It looks like a game that is one hundred and fifty 1411 01:35:02,279 --> 01:35:05,439 gigabytes. Mike, there's so much detail in the world. You start off 1412 01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:09,640 on Choruscant. You start off with all your powers immediately, so it's like 1413 01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:11,600 you pick up from where you left off in the last game, which is 1414 01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:15,199 kind of an incredible thing, and then you already you quickly get new stuff. 1415 01:35:15,279 --> 01:35:18,640 So it's not like they're holding back either. This seems like a game 1416 01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:23,239 that is going to be it's going to really tickle my fancy I'm just a 1417 01:35:23,359 --> 01:35:27,319 couple hours in, but and I did sit down on a quick look with 1418 01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,439 Tom Caswell from Gamespody came over and helped us out over on Giant Bomb, 1419 01:35:30,199 --> 01:35:33,920 and he showed me around and everything he talked about makes it sound like a 1420 01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,760 game made specifically for me. And I think my big takeaway from this so 1421 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:42,079 far is Respawn feels like one of those developers that is its own best critic 1422 01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:46,600 where everything that was like that came up short with a fallen order, they 1423 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:50,800 have addressed and improved here because they understood what those things were and what the 1424 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:55,399 problems were, and they just made everything better. And that is maybe one 1425 01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:58,560 of the best things you can do with a sequel. It's just everything everything 1426 01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:00,319 that was wrong in the previous one it right here. And that seems like 1427 01:36:00,399 --> 01:36:05,079 they did other than the performance and the bugs, which if you know me, 1428 01:36:05,319 --> 01:36:09,359 you know those don't bother me too much. Um and so, and 1429 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:13,279 I'm probably playing on I've playing on PlayStation five and it's a little bit buggy 1430 01:36:13,359 --> 01:36:15,439 and a little bit under performant, but it's not as bad as apparently the 1431 01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:19,600 PC or Xbox. Um. But I've I've definitely still noticed issues on the 1432 01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:24,079 ps five, um, and and that's that's been fine. But I mean 1433 01:36:24,199 --> 01:36:26,560 a lot of people are just saying, like, yeah, I had bugs, 1434 01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,520 I don't care five out of five, and that's that's what most people 1435 01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:31,199 are saying. I think I think that's probably the right takeaway from this game, 1436 01:36:31,239 --> 01:36:35,640 and we know the game will eventually get a little bit better over time. 1437 01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:39,920 I just if you want to wait, that's fair fair play, that's 1438 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,960 totally fine. But I'm glad I'm not waiting. I'm glad I'm playing it 1439 01:36:43,039 --> 01:36:45,680 right now. That is kind of weird thing I'm at because like I could 1440 01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:47,600 actually be playing this game right now. I've just been busy, and there's 1441 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,960 like a part of me like maybe I should just play some of this other 1442 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,760 stuff until that first patch comes out, blah blah bla blah. But also 1443 01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,239 I do really want to play this game, and also like it was kind 1444 01:36:57,239 --> 01:37:00,720 of a ticking time bomb here until we gots so maybe I should be playing 1445 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,840 it now kind of gets through it when I can. But me and you 1446 01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:08,399 both liked Jedi Fallen Order, maybe even more than most people, and all 1447 01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:11,159 the people didn't like it a lot, so um, you know, I 1448 01:37:11,199 --> 01:37:14,039 think we've both been pretty excited for the sequel, and it seems like most 1449 01:37:14,079 --> 01:37:15,720 people are enjoying it more than that first one, So yeah, I am 1450 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:21,640 excited. Yeah, it's um it is. I'm surprised it's here so fast. 1451 01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:27,279 It does feel like a game that was still rushed absolutely but overall, 1452 01:37:27,359 --> 01:37:29,520 like like Jason Tryer had a story about, hey, this is a game 1453 01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,000 that took about three years to make. That is not something that really happens 1454 01:37:32,039 --> 01:37:35,119 anymore. How do they even do that? And it's like that, yeah, 1455 01:37:35,199 --> 01:37:41,279 that's impressive stuff, and respond just continues continues to win and pull out 1456 01:37:41,319 --> 01:37:44,479 big wins U and I, yeah, this is this is what I'm playing. 1457 01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:45,319 Now, I'm playing this. I'll be playing a little bit of Advanced 1458 01:37:45,319 --> 01:37:49,840 Wars still, but I am going full, full bore ahead on this and 1459 01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:54,680 I can't wait to see everything it has to offer. I really liked those 1460 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:58,560 characters from Fallen Order, and I've started so far and I've only heard mention 1461 01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:00,439 of one of the characters and have it seeing any of them yet. I'm 1462 01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:02,920 like, man, when we're gonna get the gang back together? And I 1463 01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,279 was kind of like a little bit worried about it, but my understanding is 1464 01:38:05,359 --> 01:38:09,039 now the gang the gang's gonna get back together. Don't worry about that. 1465 01:38:09,239 --> 01:38:12,239 Well, you know, sometimes like one game to the next, this has 1466 01:38:12,279 --> 01:38:15,279 happened. I can't. I'm like struggling remember any examples. But the cool 1467 01:38:15,359 --> 01:38:16,920 character from the previous game, well now they're just sort of like they work 1468 01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:21,720 at a place and you can go interact with them than from Mass Effect two 1469 01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:26,760 barely in three Yeah, right, exactly, yes, that situation. And 1470 01:38:27,039 --> 01:38:30,800 uh and it's like I gone throng because things Star Wars. Yeah, of 1471 01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:32,159 course I was. I was like, that is kind of what I was 1472 01:38:32,159 --> 01:38:34,880 worried about here, But apparently that's not the issue or not. That not 1473 01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:38,359 what actually happens, even though it seems like it might to one of the 1474 01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:41,920 characters, No, it's not. He is still truly important to what happens. 1475 01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:44,840 So I'm very excited. I wish I had more to say, but 1476 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:47,840 I just I just started playing. I guess I didn't mess around with the 1477 01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,560 different stances. I got three different stances now, which is um, you 1478 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:56,079 know, the dual bladed the Darth Maul lightsaber, the regular stance, the 1479 01:38:56,119 --> 01:39:00,960 regular lightsaber stance, and then I could do dual wheeled lightsaber um. And 1480 01:39:00,119 --> 01:39:03,520 they have their strengths and the weaknesses. Mostly it's just like this one feels 1481 01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:06,159 cool in this way, and this one feels cool in that way. And 1482 01:39:06,199 --> 01:39:12,479 that's probably because I'm early on and I did have the difficulty turned up to 1483 01:39:13,159 --> 01:39:16,560 like high instead of the medium, and in combat that felt great, but 1484 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,319 anywhere else where it was like, oh, you were, I'm taking a 1485 01:39:19,359 --> 01:39:23,199 lot more damage because I missed a jump because I'm an idiot. That doesn't 1486 01:39:23,239 --> 01:39:25,640 feel so great. I wish I could dial things in a little bit more 1487 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:28,760 that way. But yeah, I don't know. I'm excited about this, 1488 01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:30,279 are I know you're excited too. Are you planning on doing it? Like 1489 01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:34,920 day one? I could be playing it now and I just haven't gotten to 1490 01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:40,199 it, right, That's what little bit right. And I wasn't the one 1491 01:39:40,239 --> 01:39:43,319 doing the review, so I just didn't get to it yet. But yeah, 1492 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:46,079 I'm just maybe tomorrow I'll finally really dive in there. Yeah that's um. 1493 01:39:46,239 --> 01:39:48,359 Yeah, I mean tomorrow you could start streaming it too, so you're 1494 01:39:48,359 --> 01:39:50,479 gonna do that on your channel? A good thing? Yeah? Yeah, 1495 01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:53,760 well yeah, yeah, how about you? What have you been playing? 1496 01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:59,319 Uh? Well, actually a lot of Street Fighter five. It was on 1497 01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,279 sale and I'm like, hey, you know, like I played that when 1498 01:40:02,319 --> 01:40:04,479 it came out, and I was back when it was underwhelming. It wasn't 1499 01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:08,800 that much content. Now you can buy it cheap and get all the deal 1500 01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:13,079 c pretty much, so like all the additional characters and most of the costumes 1501 01:40:13,119 --> 01:40:16,159 for a relatively cheap price and just get it on Steam. So I did 1502 01:40:16,199 --> 01:40:18,840 that. I've actually been having a lot of fun with it. You know. 1503 01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:23,359 It still looks really good and plays really. There's a lot of characters, 1504 01:40:24,079 --> 01:40:26,760 you know. I was playing as Cammy as I usually doing these games, 1505 01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:30,560 but then I picked up Armika, who's like the the sort of female 1506 01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:33,039 wrestlers and grappler character. She's really fun. Actually, I was having a 1507 01:40:33,119 --> 01:40:38,000 lot of fun playing as her learning her. There are some cool costumes in 1508 01:40:38,079 --> 01:40:42,520 this game, Like you can get a Reu costume as Mega Man or the 1509 01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:46,840 Characterman not just dressed us Felicia, or Cammy as Joe Valentine. Also, 1510 01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:51,279 man, this game is really horny, way hornier than I thought. I 1511 01:40:51,399 --> 01:40:55,039 think it's costs. Some of these costumes are nuts. Man. I'm not 1512 01:40:55,079 --> 01:40:57,960 saying I don't like it, but wow, they I think they know what 1513 01:40:58,039 --> 01:41:00,520 they're doing. They know exactly. No know where their bread is buttered, 1514 01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,520 and they know where the buns are buttered. Yeah, I'll tell you what's 1515 01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:08,039 buttered by. It's buttered by everybody's thighs, yes, sighs, and and 1516 01:41:08,279 --> 01:41:12,000 and giant hams just hanging out of the back of their pants. Uh, 1517 01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:16,279 Vegas Tams. Yeah, that's yeah. I mean, so you are you're 1518 01:41:16,279 --> 01:41:19,279 ready for Street Fighters six? Ready to make that happen? Oh? Yeah, 1519 01:41:19,319 --> 01:41:21,479 I gotta still check out that newer demo. But this is a good 1520 01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:25,000 chance for me too. You know a lot of people been yelling me to 1521 01:41:25,279 --> 01:41:27,920 do the deep pass out of the Analot six. So I've been playing this 1522 01:41:28,079 --> 01:41:30,600 with the dpad game practice. God is that when six comes out, I'll 1523 01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:35,039 be really ready to go. Okay, that's I'm gonna be playing that tomorrow. 1524 01:41:35,079 --> 01:41:39,520 Like I said, um, there's there's a lot of games, still 1525 01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:43,239 still a lot of games, and I'm it is hard to just focus on 1526 01:41:43,319 --> 01:41:45,800 one, but I'm forced for It's easier when it's something like you know, 1527 01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,359 Jedi Survivor. But uh, it's still like, man, I wish I 1528 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:50,399 was playing that and that and that. I wish I could talk about this 1529 01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:54,680 and that and that. Um, but yeah, anything else, Mike, 1530 01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,760 that's it. I actually need I need to know one. Okay, uh, 1531 01:41:59,319 --> 01:42:00,319 Sean? Do you do you have the results? You want to hop 1532 01:42:00,359 --> 01:42:03,760 in here or if I can get them to you right now? All right? 1533 01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:08,920 Sean is here? Sean? Tell us what's happening? All right? 1534 01:42:09,119 --> 01:42:15,079 So we asked the podcast producers in the discord to vote on which console they 1535 01:42:15,159 --> 01:42:18,039 thought was better, the Mikey You or the Jeff box One, the all 1536 01:42:18,079 --> 01:42:23,079 in one entertainment system.

The winner with sixty nine percent of 1539 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:44,399 the vote, as always, very nice. Nice is the Jeff Box One. 1540 01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:47,079 Thank you, Thank you? Mike. How are you surprised by this? 1541 01:42:47,199 --> 01:42:49,840 I destroyed you? What are you talking about? What do you think 1542 01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:55,680 you destroyed? I No, I destroyed you In the first five Pitt, 1543 01:42:56,039 --> 01:42:59,720 it was over. You are out of your mind. It was over. 1544 01:43:00,159 --> 01:43:02,800 It was I'm sorry, bread from the Wild Blood Board, rich in Redemption 1545 01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:08,600 to got a war and personified and then you are you kidding me? Yeah? 1546 01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:13,520 Then went the ship. Oh my god. People like I got Witcher 1547 01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:16,920 three and hey o night, Oh my god, one actually likes playing three. 1548 01:43:17,039 --> 01:43:20,640 This is two Naughty Dog games. I shouldn't have picked Last of Us 1549 01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:24,880 Part two. I knew it because no one cares here Zoda, oh my 1550 01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:28,960 god, prepped for the wee you. I didn't even get Rocket League, 1551 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:30,279 and I think Rocket League would have even pushed it even higher. So yeah, 1552 01:43:30,359 --> 01:43:33,720 it's ridiculous, Like, well, that's not really a live service game. 1553 01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:42,479 Not really, I mean not that. Look were you okay wait, 1554 01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,159 hold up, I'm like I was about to find be like, okay, 1555 01:43:45,239 --> 01:43:48,399 fine, whatever.

You destroyed me with Arkham Knights 1557 01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,199 in the Resident Evil game that people don't like as much as like the other 1558 01:44:00,279 --> 01:44:04,279 Resident Evil game seven they definitely do. People like Resival seven fine, they 1559 01:44:04,359 --> 01:44:11,319 like Resival to remake much more popular. And yeah, you won the pole 1560 01:44:11,399 --> 01:44:15,319 on the chat to sixty four percent to thirty five awesome, amazing. I 1561 01:44:15,399 --> 01:44:20,720 can't wait till this series is done. I don't know why I keep I 1562 01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,840 keep like being like, well, I've no one one has a racing game. 1563 01:44:24,119 --> 01:44:28,520 No one cares no one cares, how thought cares. I care and 1564 01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:31,960 actually try to have a balanced list. And when you while you're over here, 1565 01:44:32,359 --> 01:44:39,159 like fucking five weep games in bad Wei you games that got better on 1566 01:44:39,239 --> 01:44:45,800 the Switch and Batman Arc come fucking nights which no one like. I'm the 1567 01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:50,479 one who defends in and everyone yells at me, where's the boomer pick for 1568 01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:54,079 that? You know, people are screaming boomer pick at me. When I 1569 01:44:54,199 --> 01:44:59,199 picked Forts, I picked Mortal Kombat ten, they said, boomer pick. 1570 01:44:59,399 --> 01:45:04,319 What is that even mean? A kid came out like five years ago. 1571 01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:09,520 Boomer pick. You know, h etelm. Mike doesn't know the audience. 1572 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:15,279 He was like, Jeff has web games, how could he win? I 1573 01:45:15,319 --> 01:45:19,359 should have gotten Persenta five and near Automata. I was very mad he didn't 1574 01:45:19,359 --> 01:45:21,720 get Persona five right away. Concerning how much you were talking about in the 1575 01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:27,520 last draft. Those are some delicious tears. Thank you so much, Mike 1576 01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,800 for the sustenance. I hate you so fucking much. You are the worst 1577 01:45:32,199 --> 01:45:38,359 kids show. I just I'm honestly astonished that you can't just see it like 1578 01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:43,319 it's oh no, it's not even close. You're insane. Wasn't even good 1579 01:45:43,399 --> 01:45:45,159 until they fixed it for the switch, then just say it's just raw. 1580 01:45:45,239 --> 01:45:48,000 It just wasn't that good on you. It was really good. It was 1581 01:45:48,119 --> 01:45:51,199 really It's got better for sure, but like a little bit. Also kind 1582 01:45:51,199 --> 01:45:55,000 of a life service game that was cheating. Wait what is it? Which 1583 01:45:55,039 --> 01:46:00,159 one? Oh my god? Whatever? Any ligabod its? Well, okay, 1584 01:46:00,239 --> 01:46:03,920 let's see your Super Mario Makers live service games. It's constantly getting new 1585 01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:08,880 content. So there you go. And not that that helped you. Definitely 1586 01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:12,960 did I love Supermaro Maker. No one else does. First six Kames are 1587 01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:16,680 gonna Secord Row, Marble spidermer. No one like those Witcher three big flop 1588 01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:21,279 from that generation. No fans of the Witcher. No one talks about that 1589 01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:29,840 one whole le shit. Mike, can't take your blood pressure medications? Many 1590 01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:40,359 boers from the generation previous. What does that mean? Please please tell me 1591 01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:48,039 what you think that word needs Boomer picks? Well, Mike, I think, 1592 01:46:48,199 --> 01:46:53,199 uh, I think with that? You laugh? You just start playing 1593 01:46:53,199 --> 01:46:56,960 the music. Man, I don't know how we transition away from this segment. 1594 01:46:57,239 --> 01:46:59,800 No, you're right, you're right. Um, that's gonna do it. 1595 01:47:00,239 --> 01:47:03,359 Mike is Toko to a bunch of places, including the Looney even which 1596 01:47:03,399 --> 01:47:08,840 he now lives going to end up in almost certainly? What do we do 1597 01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:14,600 about this guy? Hilarious? How's it going? We got some more super 1598 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:15,640 chats, Jeff, you can't end the show, all right, Mike reading 1599 01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:19,760 the super chats. Uh, let's see here now, pretty dude says one 1600 01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:26,439 last case of Benedict Fox is pretty cool. Resident Evil style puzzles with Metro 1601 01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:29,960 Vinia is great. Art is also a plus. I did I should check 1602 01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:31,640 that one out. At first, I'm like, I don't think any review 1603 01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:34,479 copies went out. Did people review because I didn't see any reviews? Maybe 1604 01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:39,479 it just got lost in the shuffle. Two. Do you think Bethesda is 1605 01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:44,640 Titan falling Red Fall intentionally? What does that mean? I don't Well, 1606 01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:47,000 would that mean to tighten fall something, to put it out between a Call 1607 01:47:47,079 --> 01:47:54,359 of Duty and Battlefront? But are they doing that? I think you kind 1608 01:47:54,359 --> 01:47:58,079 of can't help it tighten fall things because every so many games are coming out 1609 01:47:58,159 --> 01:48:03,359 right now. That's just how it is. Okay, Uh, let's see 1610 01:48:03,359 --> 01:48:08,520 here now and then uh, next one here is from the wolfs Is. 1611 01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:12,039 Mike chose Mortal Kombat ten and forts and his Shocked he loss. Yeah, 1612 01:48:12,079 --> 01:48:15,640 two of the best selling games from well Borrow combat ten is. It was 1613 01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:18,359 like the best selling non Spash Brothers fighting game until eleven. I think, 1614 01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,800 yeah, it's a big, big obscure game there. You're right, Wolf, 1615 01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:27,279 and no one likes forts. They don't make thirty of those. No, 1616 01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:29,720 why I'm doing great. I'm doing a great job. I think, 1617 01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:33,560 Okay, keep on going. Uh rogers Og, says Mike lost. When 1618 01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:39,399 Jeff picked blood Born, I just feel like there's something cosmic when there's these 1619 01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:43,880 two choices, like a Secro or a blood Born, that to me seemed 1620 01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,359 like they're both beloved and the very similar. Whichever one Jeff picks is what 1621 01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:49,680 people are like, Well, that's the one. Actually, that's the one 1622 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:54,680 that matters. It could be like cool Ranch and notcho Chiese the Ritos. 1623 01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:57,560 I don't know which one. Whichever one Jeff picks, he picks cool Ranch 1624 01:48:57,680 --> 01:49:00,159 AND's gonna be like obviously cool ranches the only Toritos that matters. And I 1625 01:49:00,239 --> 01:49:06,560 think they known is just more like people is much wilder about blood Born than 1626 01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:10,720 even Seccro, which, of course so wild about that they demand that they 1627 01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:13,920 finally get remastered so that doesn't look like shit anymore. Yeah, I mean 1628 01:49:14,159 --> 01:49:16,680 they're so they're not wild about it. That doesn't matter. That's not what 1629 01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:19,800 people think about when they look at this list. They think about fucking blood. 1630 01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:23,079 People should think about it for more than two seconds and then I would 1631 01:49:23,119 --> 01:49:27,199 actually win, but they don't. Burrito says, Mike's gonna be okay, 1632 01:49:27,319 --> 01:49:30,039 he's never lost before.

Who likes Naughty Dog? There are pieces of shit over there? 1637 01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:48,199 They make nothing but bad, froppy games that no one cares about. 1638 01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:53,960 Oh my mistake.
