00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:29,519
It's the Internet. You're busy,
Let's do this. Welcome to the Game

2
00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:33,320
messt de Sides podcast. This is
the podcast where we decide everything about the

3
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,000
world of games, so you never
have to think for yourself. I'm your

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,439
host Jeff Grubb with me is in
today's episode, good thing we're getting Avatar

5
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,079
because you've beself just delating some of
its other games and the best games to

6
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:48,439
two thousand and six. But first, Mike, how are you doing?

7
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,399
Yeah, I'm good. I just
it's like it's occurred to me that while

8
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:56,320
I'm on vacation, I'm not going
to be able to play baby cho games.

9
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,079
Like that's basically like a like a
like an eighth of the rest of

10
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:06,719
the year that's left, right,
or it's like, oh, that's not

11
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,359
good. So then there's other trips. I think I'm I'm at a point

12
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:17,079
where I gotta be pretty realistic about
what's gonna get beaten. Uh, Like,

13
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:19,079
you know, well, you're on
your way to beating Boulderskate three,

14
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,280
right pretty close to it, pretty
close. I think you're Then you're like

15
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,840
pretty good, Yoh, Spider Man
two, I'll beat in that. But

16
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:29,439
Spider Man two is easy to beat. That'll be easy. I'm definitely have

17
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,200
to play out like two. I
was going to, but that is some

18
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,799
time. If I don't be fomp
May sixteen, I'll ever hear the end

19
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,319
of it. So I better do
that. And then, like basically anything

20
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,000
else I've beaten that, everything else
is fine. Like I don't know,

21
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,480
I can't imagine what's a heavy hitter
that I'm not going to be able to.

22
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,359
I'm gonna have like nothing to say
on like a real heavy hitter.

23
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,799
Yeah, that I haven't at least
beaten or play a lot of more so

24
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,799
than other years because I felt so. I think I felt so much pressure

25
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,239
from this year. I ended up
playing a ton I did same a pretty

26
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:05,879
small amount of retro gaming compared to
a lot of other years. It's the

27
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,960
same. I like, like I
have the Steam deck ready to go,

28
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:10,599
a bunch of old games on there, and I haven't really been able to

29
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,639
play any even and I'm like keep
seeing like, oh I should play this

30
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,560
and that, and then just haven't
done that at all because there's no time

31
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,400
for it. There's one that might
suffer. Like I was enjoying Lies of

32
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:22,319
P. I'd like to beat lies
of P. It might not be a

33
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,400
priority of all this other stuff going
on, we'll see I'd like to.

34
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,800
It's surprising it's a surprisingly long game, and that throws me off. That

35
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,360
feels like a game that should be
like ten hours to me. Apparently it's

36
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,879
more like twenty or something. Yep, it's that's one that's probably not going

37
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,120
to happen right away from me.
I've moved that it is still of these

38
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,240
games that are out happening probably Oh
no, no, no, I would

39
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,199
like to that. I'm probably honestly, I'll probably play that game for myself

40
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,599
over the holidays once all this is
behind us. That all good. That'll

41
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,759
enjoyed my own time exactly. Yeah. I I boulders Gate three, it's

42
00:02:57,759 --> 00:02:59,400
the one I want to go back
to the most. It's the one I'm

43
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:02,240
like still have on the ally and
here on the PC now and when I

44
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,879
don't have other stuff, I'll be
playing that. But it is alan Wick

45
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,960
two next. That is what's happening
now. So you know, we all

46
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:13,319
we thought like, oh, we'll
see Bordersgate three at that Xbox third party

47
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:15,120
thing, and that was kind of
like the one thing I thought, I

48
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,719
don't think that's actually coming out for
Taxbox this year, maybe early next year.

49
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,680
It would be my guess, I
mean they said that, they said

50
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,039
it would be this year. But
if it's not gonna be a that thing

51
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:27,639
where I mean, I suppose the
game's big enough to announce on its own,

52
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:31,879
I guess they could announce in November
they're releasing in December. That could

53
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,599
totally happen. But why not just
release it next year if it's not ready.

54
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,479
If it's not ready, just wait
and then then we'll see, all

55
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:43,680
right. I don't want to thank

70
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,199
a Q and A this weekend,
everybody, so look out for that.

71
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:42,160
Got a lot of chatters saying that
they have apparently re affirmed BORDERSK three is

72
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:45,199
on Xbox this year thing recently?
So oh really think we cond from that?

73
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,240
Interesting? Okay, cool, that's
that's exciting. And again that game

74
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,959
is big enough to announce on its
own time frame. So but wouldn't be

75
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,959
surprised if we hear about it like
next week. That'd be cool, Mike,

76
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I got a bunch of big topics
I want to get into you ready,

77
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,199
Okay, all right. Ubisoftist delayed
a large game thought to be Star

78
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Wars Outlaws to next fiscal year.
Ubisofti's postponed the release of a large game

79
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,839
that was expected to launch by March
twenty twenty four. The game is likely

80
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:17,120
to be Star Wars Outlaws in open
world games set in the Star Wars universe.

81
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,279
Ubisoft says it wants to maximize the
value creation of the game and confirms

82
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,079
its guidance of strong growth and operating
income from the fiscal for the current fiscal

83
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,959
year. Obviously, I mean that
goes without saying because Avatar the Blue People

84
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,920
game is still coming out, so
they're going to be just fine, is

85
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:38,839
going to be raking in money.
I was not even did not even register

86
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:42,399
in my brain that we could be
playing Star Wars Outlaws by like March.

87
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,199
That was that's a banana's thoughts to
me. But I mean, obviously I

88
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,959
was like, I'm still trying to
deal with We just talked about it catching

89
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,800
up on games from this year,
so like the stuff that's happening in early

90
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,759
twenty twenty four already isn't really registering
with me all that much. I'm like,

91
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,879
yeah, there's a couple of things. I'm a few things from Nintendo.

92
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:01,879
We we talked of those directs.
I know that stuff's happening, and

93
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,360
now it looks like, oh,
the rating for Watch McCall just went through.

94
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:12,439
Super Mario the thousand year door that
just went through in Korea and Brazil,

95
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,639
so it's like, okay, yeah, maybe that's happened in early twenty

96
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,959
twenty four, but outside of that, it's like, yeah, games are

97
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:19,920
moving to that part of or they're
talking about releasing that timeframe. This one

98
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:24,360
never really hitting that same way.
I was always like, I'll get to

99
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:28,439
that when we get past all this
stuff. So I'm completely fine with this.

100
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,000
I imagine most people are, because
there's been so much to play.

101
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,399
I never recurred to me that this
game might come out in the first half

102
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:41,079
of twenty twenty four. Yeah,
at earliest. Holiday always made more sense

103
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,360
to me. I mean, we've
only really ever seen it that one time

104
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,120
in a pretty like you know,
linear guided hands off demo showcase thing.

105
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:54,040
It looks like a very big,
ambitious game. Yeah, I thought that

106
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,079
was a ways off, Jeff.
Yeah, and I'm trying to remember I

107
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:01,480
Ubisoft fhiscal quarter might go through the
beginning of summer is when it might actually

108
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,720
begin, So the second half of
the year. Uh yeah, that sounds

109
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,800
that always sounded right. I always
thought I'd be playing Outlaws in the second

110
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:12,800
half of next year, and yeah, take your time. That said,

111
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,680
we are We're on a streak of
several years now where you'd be Soft is

112
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,560
kind of delaying everything almost constantly.
And they're not alone in that, they're

113
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,720
not, but it does seem pretty
extreme with U be soft, right,

114
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,839
it always seems to hit not just
one of their games, but a batch

115
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,199
of their games all at once.
Well, the problem is they have like

116
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:34,279
a few perpetually delayed games with Skull
and Bones and Beyond Good and Evil too,

117
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:36,759
right, they say, they say
Skull and Bones will be out before

118
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:40,839
the end of their fiscal year,
right, And like the stink of that

119
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,079
is kind of just everywhere, isn't
it even you know, even next to

120
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,879
biand got delayed? Recently, seems
like everything that isn't Assess's creed has kind

121
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:54,800
of been a weird spot right now. Yep, we'll see. Hey,

122
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,000
they just really just dance though,
So that's happening still. How much is

123
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,839
that? I know the those always
do well, but it's not like like

124
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,879
like what are we talking here?
Like I always assume it was like when

125
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:09,000
I'm like when I watched that documentary
about Planet of the Apes, the original

126
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,480
Planet of the Apes movies, where
they were just like, hey, this

127
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,240
movie made this much money, and
so well, here's the budget for the

128
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,279
next one. It's less than that, And they just kept going down and

129
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,240
down and down until they've got to
a point where it's like show movie,

130
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,959
yeah, exactly exactly now, then
they're done. I think Just Dance seems

131
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,800
like it's it's safely staying above that
line. But I got to imagine it

132
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:33,000
mostly goes down year after year.
Then again, I don't know what I'm

133
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,759
talking about. I mean, who
knows, Maybe there is some huge audience

134
00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:37,720
that is constantly growing for those games. I want to make a Beneath the

135
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,799
something, something like Beneath the Last
of the nintend Dogs. I like that

136
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:45,559
as a title convention me too.
Video game doesn't have a video game is

137
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,320
afraid of that one. They they
they'll use origins and a whole bunch of

138
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,320
other bullshit, go the route of
the Planet of the Apes movies and have

139
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,000
a Beneath the Blank video game,
Beneath the tomb Rader, no that sounds

140
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,960
sexual, Beneath the Last of Us
and then you have you get a bomb

141
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,840
worship people in that game too.
That'd be cool. Many vide games that

142
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,799
are named after are places. How
many videos are named after a location beneath

143
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,720
the Lost Planet, beneath Detroit,
beneath the Detroit, neath Detroit. Too

144
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,799
human, too human, exactly three
human? Uh yeah, the bottle.

145
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:22,519
No, yeah, you do what
you gotta do, Mike, we understand.

146
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,559
Okay, he's got podcast kick.
Oh yeah, I got you know

147
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,440
that one time we were asked about
that at packs and it was clearly Lucy's

148
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:35,919
topic to handle. But I'm pretty
good at picking stuff up with my toes

149
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,399
too. I want you to know, and now I do know because you

150
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,080
do. You answer the question and
I'm well aware of it. Now.

151
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,600
Hey, I'll play All Outlaws when
it's here. I think that game looks

152
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,600
pretty good. Yeah, I'm excited
me too, But then again, I

153
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,759
still have Jedi Survivor to get through, so maybe they'll play that when this

154
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:54,399
game was supposed to come out,
and then I'll play this and then we'll

155
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:01,960
gets up me and you to the
probably bigger Fallen Order. Fan just didn't

156
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,519
come out when Zelda came out,
Like it's Zelda, right, I mean

157
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,919
Zelda kind of a million other things. Bad timing, yep. Yeah,

158
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:11,480
And for me, like at that
point of the year, I was I

159
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:15,000
don't know, I was so busy
that it took me obviously, like weeks

160
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,039
months to beat Zelda, and I
was playing a little bit here. I

161
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,320
played through all of Pickman four in
that time, but it's like still,

162
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:26,000
I was just so hung up on
Zelda and then also busy, and then

163
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,720
it's like I look back, I'm
like, okay, I'll get this.

164
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:31,519
I'll go back to jother Survivor after
Zelda. And then by the time that

165
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:35,159
was done, literally Starfield was here
and it was that was the rest of

166
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:37,840
the year, like just game after
game after game from that point. So

167
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:43,840
yeah, Xbox is reorganizing its leadership
with promotions for Sarah Bond and Matt Booty.

168
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,799
Xbox has made changes to its leadership
team. Sarah Bond is now that

169
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:50,960
the president, the president of Xbox
overseeing hardware and software platforms. Matt Booty

170
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,120
is now the President of Game Content
and Studios, overseeing Zenny Max and Bethesda.

171
00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:58,600
Zenny Max and Pathesta will continue to
work separately, but will report to

172
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:03,679
Booty. Uh. Hey, I
think I'm sorry. It's funny you say

173
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:09,200
like that. Yeah, report to
the boy. Everybody report to the Booty,

174
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,879
all right, if you say so? Hey, uh, Pete,

175
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,960
He's probably left for this reason.
Huh do you think so? You think

176
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,960
that's what? I mean? He
just announced he was even last week,

177
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,679
and then this gets announced this week. M Yeah, I guess I didn't

178
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,120
even put that together. That's interesting, huh. I mean there's some link

179
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:30,720
there. Maybe it's not as obvious
as it seems that. Like listen,

180
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,720
I don't think he was necessarily fired. I bet he had a position in

181
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,200
this new hierarchy, but maybe he
thought this should have been his position.

182
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:43,639
You think there was a terse phone
call, yes, behind about red fall?

183
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:48,240
Oh, surely, yeah, But
I also sure you're you were over

184
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,159
You're overseeing this, aren't you.
Why don't you do something? Yeah?

185
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,120
And I think at the same time, uh, I think Microsoft's probably the

186
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,840
way they probably framed that phone call
is, look, hey, you were

187
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,440
overseeing this, but you know what, it's our responsibility. We should have

188
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,360
been more hands on. And guess
what now we are more hands on and

189
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,240
here's how it works going forward,
and we want to just you know,

190
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,240
we're not going to tell you what
to do with everything, but we're going

191
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,200
to be more involved. And maybe
that doesn't work for Pete. Heines,

192
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,399
that's not gonna work for me,
brother, it's kind of a sense of

193
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,840
Okay, it's in here. Hey, look we said that this probably needed

194
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,399
to happen. There probably should be
a little bit more oversight now that they're

195
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,759
getting even bigger. I don't know
if you could just let all these individual

196
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:31,519
companies, especially now that some of
your new companies have had pretty bad workplace

197
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:37,960
problems in the past, right,
or oversight is probably going to be needed.

198
00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:43,480
Yeah, I think for the FANBOYE
tapped into this stuff a big storyline

199
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:50,159
of Mike. As always, Microsoft
leadership doesn't like have the same ability to

200
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:52,080
get the best out of their teams
as Sony leadership. They're not hands on

201
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,279
enough. Do you see this as
a solution to that or would or do

202
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,720
you does that even wreck like register
for you? I don't know. It's

203
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,440
hard to say, because all of
Sony studios right now they have either owned

204
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:09,399
or have had long standing relationship with
for quite a while, except for Bungee,

205
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,519
which is a weird thing. So
that situation just feels very different than

206
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:18,759
what Microsoft's doing with with Bethesda and
now definitely Activision Blizzard. Right, companies

207
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:24,600
that have a long long history pre
dating Microsoft, not just as developers,

208
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:31,000
even as publishers. It's pretty different
than Sony's relationship with Insomniac and Naughty Dog.

209
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,240
Yep. I do get the sense
that this is a little bit about

210
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:43,720
taking a little bit more control.
But Microsoft's standing, like relationship with most

211
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,200
of its studios, is you do
what you want, you guys know best,

212
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,799
and we're here for you. But
I think the idea is we are

213
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:52,679
actually going to be here for you
now. It's not going to be a

214
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,039
red Fall situation ever again. And
really that's the way it should be.

215
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,720
Red Falls shouldn't have happened. That
should have been impossible game to come out

216
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,879
like that. And if they are
addressing this with these changes, great,

217
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:07,200
we don't really know what that looks
like. Well, we're gonna have to

218
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,360
see when the games come out in
the next the next several years if if

219
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:13,679
it feels like there's a quality improvement
over time. It's funny because like,

220
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,879
this is a year of so many
good games, but Radfall may have maybe

221
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,960
the game that has like the biggest
impact on the industry or at least at

222
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,480
Microsoft. Right. Yep, it
definitely feels like it could be the case.

223
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,720
Just a couple more news stories,
Super Mario Brothers wonders or portly Japan's

224
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:35,879
fastest selling Mario game on switch,
and in Europe it's the fastest selling Mario

225
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,240
game period. Not too surprising.
Two D Mario very popular, coming off

226
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:45,720
a lot of excitement for Mario in
general. I think it was it could

227
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,840
have been pretty easy to predict this, and yet I'm a little surprised that

228
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:50,679
how well it's doing well. You
know, it's the first new, brand

229
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:56,120
new mainline Mario games since Odyssey,
and Odyssey was pretty early in the switch

230
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,480
there weren't a ton of switches out. There are so many switches out now.

231
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,120
Yep. Ario is more popular than
ever because of the movie and all

232
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,720
these other things. Yeah, it
makes a lot of sense. This is

233
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,159
just an easy pickup, the easiest
pick up in the world for so many

234
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:13,519
people. It's going to continue to
do well. It's going to destroyed the

235
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,799
holidays. It's going to be a
high seller for years to come. Yep.

236
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,759
And then Microsoft says Starfield's release was
game passes biggest ever new subs day.

237
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,559
Another thing. It's like, yeah, not too surprising. I think

238
00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:33,279
I would have expected that to be
exactly the case. Overall. This comes

239
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:37,960
from them reporting their earnings where console
sales down seven percent, but overall of

240
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,120
sales for Microsoft and Nextbox stuff in
general up thirteen percent. Like we talked

241
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,799
a little bit about this on game
mess but yeah, this is right in

242
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,159
line with what you would expect from
Starfield and game Pass, right right.

243
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,799
It's a little concerning that there wasn't
a console sale boost from that, but

244
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,639
maybe the other factors. But yeah, obviously Starfield's been selling really well and

245
00:15:56,679 --> 00:16:00,960
it being a boost for game Pass
is probably more than anything what Microsoft wanted

246
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,919
from it. I just hope it
has more of those in the future.

247
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,759
Yep. Uh, those are the
topics I brought. But we do got

248
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,759
a lot of super chats coming in
for people who have topics they want us

249
00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:15,080
to touch on, and let's get
to those right now, Mike, and

250
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,360
then we'll take a break after that. So what do we have in the

251
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:21,440
super chat super chat bucket? Well, wait a second now, before we

252
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,320
do that. You know, I
did I Hey, look, I did

253
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,759
have that like that click baity Allen
way two real game of the Year thing.

254
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,120
It's the name of our podcast.
You don't want to talk about on

255
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,039
like two. I do want to
talk about on like too. I put

256
00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:33,440
it in actually been playing it.
I've been playing it. But we can

257
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,919
talk about it right now. You
want to talk about it right now.

258
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,399
Yes, I don't have anything.
Takes a day. I got good reviews

259
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,679
and that's it's not crazy. But
man in eighty nine, Like, gosh,

260
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,519
that's good. Even though I can
it's got to be Remedy's best ever.

261
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:48,080
Y I mean control, what was
control? Oh? Control was not

262
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:51,960
an eighty nine? No, it
was no way eighty nine's a really tough

263
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,039
score to get. It's funny like
it just because it's this year's part.

264
00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:56,639
There's almost a part that's like whoa, oh gosh, is it at a

265
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:00,799
ninety two? Now? What the
hell? No? Now it says an

266
00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,960
eighty eight depending on what I click. Okay, I don't know better critics.

267
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:10,119
Oh PC is in ninety two places
five is in eighty eight on metacritics,

268
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,960
So okay, depends what platform you
can get. Yeah, gosh,

269
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
that's just that's that's pretty nuts.
That h they I mean, going into

270
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,480
this year, all on way two
felt like something of an afterthought, and

271
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:22,880
they didn't. Anticipation four just kind
of kept building to the point where we're

272
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,359
here, it's out or it's coming
out imminently, and people are really high

273
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,000
on it. I'm really excited as
somebody who just discovered out on Wake last

274
00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:33,599
year, and you know, like
you know, Jan was saying it,

275
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,599
this is like another game of your
Contender out of nowhere. I mean enough

276
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:41,079
from for all these games of You're
contended, What we gonna do? It's

277
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,440
it's really not it's we're fucked.
To Mike, we're fucked, ma,

278
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:52,440
God fucking damn it. Reservol four
is not getting nominated. Shit. I

279
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:55,759
was trying to tell you, buddy, because it's no because because people are

280
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,240
gonna look for any excuse. So
the fact that it is a remake that

281
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,319
is gonna you're not gonna fuck.
Yeah, you know you're right now,

282
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,720
there's nothing wrong with what you just
said. They're going to two, which

283
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:07,240
is a similar game. Is this
good? There, ship, How about

284
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:14,720
this? If you play two and
and you like it as much as Resting

285
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:21,880
Evil four, I don't have to
play Resent Evil for like a minutely I

286
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,880
have to say something that's not cool
to pay I didn't mean it. I

287
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,960
didn't even mean it. I didn't
really mean it when I said it,

288
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,119
but said he pixelated himself with how
many how many Games of the year norms

289
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,400
are there for this for some thing? Six? All right again now for

290
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,920
Game of the Year. Yeah,
yeah, there's six spots, but not

291
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,559
that we think a way two might
be in there, Like so like Tears

292
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:52,079
of the Kingdom, Borters Get three? Are the two shoe ins actual shoe

293
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,559
insan Wake two looking like it has
a really good chance to pust recency bias.

294
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,680
I'm going to say Super Mario Brothers
Wonders pretty close to a shoe in,

295
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,680
right, and then like Spider Man
two because of the newness too,

296
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:07,839
and like now we have one spot
left. Uh oh, what about Armored

297
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,920
Course six and Street Fighter six?
A couple of six is there? That's

298
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,039
interesting? Pickman four, like High
Fight Rush, Resident Evil four, Cyberpunk's

299
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:21,599
Phantom Liberty has a chance of getting
that, Okay, Like I don't of

300
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,319
course it's eligible, but I'm gonna
be like, we're gonna really nominate DLC.

301
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:26,440
Yeah, people, yeah, I
said, I'm telling you. People

302
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:32,079
are gonna want to I don't care. Yeah, the people I was with

303
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,680
some the people who thought see if
Stars had a chance for a bit there

304
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,920
and probably not. Remember when High
Fi Rush came out and We're like,

305
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,680
this is definitely going to be nominated
in that spot? Chance? No chance?

306
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,359
In hell, no way chance?
And how it's so wait did we

307
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,279
mention your final Fantasy sixteen? I
mentioned it. I don't think I'm going

308
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:52,119
to get nominated. I don't know
it happened. No way. It's a

309
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,319
tough year. It's a tough year. It's a toughie. It's uh,

310
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:00,200
do you do you think Starfield is
in one of those six spots? No?

311
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,279
I don't think so either. I
think enough people don't like it,

312
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,519
right, I mean, yeah,
yeah, it's too divisive. I know

313
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:08,440
a lot some people really do.
Right. Yeah. I think it's like,

314
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,720
uh, deserves to be on some
people's top tens for sure. God

315
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:18,839
no, but I don't think Starfield
is gonna be in that top six.

316
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,319
For jazz, just a super sap, which we'll say that more detailed jazz,

317
00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:26,279
said Diabo four, And like,
man I liked Dabo Four's no way,

318
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:33,559
yep, just no way. What
just a Bonker's Banana's year. Yep.

319
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,799
I mean this will be the year
where there I don't think there's an

320
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,039
indie offering like there has been almost
every year. It would have been stars

321
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:42,640
maybe or Cocoon David Diver, I
know, not really in the game,

322
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,160
but you just know what I mean. No, like Cocoon maybe would have

323
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:51,200
had a chance. What's upon time
now? Like yep, uh, it's

324
00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:52,720
it's wild out there. It could
be a blood back. People are gonna

325
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:57,039
get sacked because they're gonna there's gonna
be like five games that don't get on

326
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,039
for the Game of the Year.
Yeah, the final say sixteen fans will

327
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,480
just to finally start stop killing each
other and then they'll just get mad at

328
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,759
everyone else and not nominating it.
Yeah, as long as we get Ben

329
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,039
Starr nominated for best well that's happening. He's one million percent winning, Like

330
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,799
he's just gonna win because he's too
too charming not to and good and good

331
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,440
being of course. Yeah, enjoy, Thank you Ben, Thanks Ben.

332
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:23,480
We appreciate it that we Sorry I
had a derail there. Did you want

333
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:26,960
to do the supertens now or do
you want to take no, let's take

334
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,319
a break, just I mean,
yeah, okay, but real quickly,

335
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,240
Alan Wick, if you will get
up metacritics best Games of the Year so

336
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:34,319
far, like a lot of the
ones we talk about are on like the

337
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,440
second page they're the high eighties.
But that ninety two from Allen Wake on

338
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:44,799
the PC version does put it like
a just behind Resident Evil four, say

339
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:49,319
it behind Residuvil Force. Where what's
it it is? Yes, yeah,

340
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:55,880
it's crazy that it's an underdog.
Yeah, but Reside Destroid Primary Master which

341
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,440
is right as well. So,
but I don't know much Like if you

342
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,240
go by the Metacritic, it is
Balder's Gate three, Zelda, Resident Evil

343
00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:11,200
four, Wonder and Street Fighters six
and the Cocoon Cocoon very very good,

344
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:15,000
right, but like then you got
to start throwing in the popularity. You

345
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:18,640
may it may be a chance,
but not like you look at Allen Wake

346
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,720
two right there. I know Allan
Wick two doesn't make the cut with those

347
00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:25,119
six and Allen Way two feels like
it is going to be a force in

348
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,799
the actually Game of the Year.
So well, I guess we'll see,

349
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:33,519
we'll see, we'll see what happens. All Right, we're gonna take a

350
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:36,519
quick break when we get back.
We got some super chats we're going to

351
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,880
talk about it's going to happen.
And then yes, so for spoken for

352
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,200
Game of the Year, what do
you think, Mike, I was like,

353
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:49,519
what was that the fucking cough game, the topoff game. Holy shit,

354
00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:53,720
that game came out this year.
Yes, fine. I had this

355
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,039
same response a week and a half
ago when someone mentioned for Spoken came out

356
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:02,119
this year. I was like,
no, no, what, all right,

357
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,359
We'll be right back everybody, and
we're back. Mike, go read

358
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,480
those super chats. I will.
I'm about to. I was like about

359
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:15,880
to faint just remembering we're Spoken.
But I think I'm better now. Big

360
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,359
Fresh thirty seven says going through a
rough time right now, which makes me

361
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,279
appreciate things that make me spoty more. Thanks for doing your show, boys,

362
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,079
and then Big Fresh said, busy
season, but if you can't,

363
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,079
try to check out Endless Dungeon,
fantastic twin stick shooter roquelake with three player

364
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,359
coup, don't sleep on it.
Thank you, Big Fresh, And you

365
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,319
know times are going to turn around, don't worry, buddy. Absolutely.

366
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,440
Adam GC says love seeing good Michigan
players do bad things to the Red Wings,

367
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,160
Go Jets go. Yeah, I'm
not feeling too great about that.

368
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:51,000
The ROTI says, can't stop playing
that damn watermelon game. What watermelon game?

369
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,839
I don't fruit game a new disgusting
Fruit game out there, I hope,

370
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,279
so I'll make you play it.
Mike, I'm surprised you. I

371
00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:03,000
know it's big wall the YouTubers.
Yeah yeah, it's a sweet exclusive in

372
00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:08,160
Japan. I think it's like,
oh okay, yeah, I justinely talk

373
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,279
about some mornings. I think,
okay, right, yeah, it's like

374
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,880
twenty forty eight, but with fruit
that falls into a jar. You wouldn't

375
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,400
like it. Nah Casual says,
here's a special holiday super chat dedicated to

376
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:25,599
my favorite parasocial relationship, Alan Wake
Me Up, Ichi Bond in the Cabana.

377
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,680
There you go, Alan Wake me
Up, Wake me Up, and

378
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,599
can't wake up? Al Greg says, as someone who can't remember anything about

379
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,039
Ellen Wake, likes remedy games as
a whole. Would I'd be missing something

380
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:41,319
if I jump into Alan Wake two? It might be missing something, but

381
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,440
not enough to like actually justify worrying
about that. Does that have a previously

382
00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:48,880
on Allen Wake thing? Because because
you play as like a new character who

383
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,799
I assume is learning about all this
stuff all right, so it doesn't have

384
00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:56,480
a previously on and but instead they
just set up new mysteries tied in clearly

385
00:24:56,519 --> 00:25:00,559
into those old mysteries and it works
for well. So yes, that new

386
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,200
character being the surrogate for the audience
is ideal. And I'm just hopping in.

387
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,720
I played a little bit of Allen
Wake bounced off. It wasn't really

388
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,799
my thing, didn't hate it,
But this one I'm I'm I'm playing and

389
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,319
really enjoying, and it's a lot
of it comes down to being really intrigued

390
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,559
about the writing and the story.
So you're gonna be completely fine. So

391
00:25:21,599 --> 00:25:27,079
you're saying you might solve a mystery, spoilers, rewrite history. Fuck buck

392
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:33,920
tails uh geo who we flow?
Says, Have y'all heard of the game

393
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:37,759
Slay the Princess? It's a horrid
venture game that just released where instead of

394
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:41,319
saving the princess, he's slay her. I mean, I think i've heard

395
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:45,359
of it. Beyond that, got
nothing, yep, I think I've heard

396
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,920
the name. And that's it.
Alma. Rickole says, going through some

397
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:52,000
rough stuff as of late, and
think and y'all have brought a smile with

398
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:56,039
all you do. Thanks boys.
Also, if Mike at any point can

399
00:25:56,079 --> 00:26:02,759
do his robber yoll randomly, the
threatening shrill brings Jill, I'm not gonna

400
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:10,000
do everybody, get the fun's a
fucking stick up. Get on the fucking

401
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:17,000
ground. I'm gonna shoot a fucking
hole inside of your fucking skull right able

402
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:22,759
to identify you at the fucking marg
down svolume down there. This is this

403
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:30,319
is why I gotta get that compressor
back on him. Yeah, for your

404
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,000
consideration, so I thought, the
gamer, says Jeff the Wise. What

405
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,039
is the latest you've heard about upcoming
superhero games? Uh? For the announced

406
00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:41,119
ones Wolverine, wonder Woman, et
cetera, and the unannounced the thirty A

407
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,880
Marvel you Warner Brothers EC game,
rumored places five, Marble game. Give

408
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,519
us some Marvel update, Jeff,
thank real quick. Just just did a

409
00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:52,559
bunch of gift memberships and chat.
Shout out to you, Jazz jazz Is,

410
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,119
because I swore said a lot.
Almost certainly you scared of me.

411
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,519
Just it wasn't even it was a
dark pattern you He didn't mean to hit

412
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:03,599
the button. You made them listen
that those things are really early. Everyone's

413
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,599
excited about it. They would rather
do this than start a new IP because

414
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:11,799
they think more people will be excited
about this, And that's from EA's perspective.

415
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:15,640
Anyhow, there's not many details to
go on yet. I think there

416
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,559
was a report a little bit ago
about like kind of what was happening with

417
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:23,440
Black Panther in terms of like the
setting, and I'm trying to remember all

418
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,920
the details I was able to get
out of it, and I think it's

419
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,720
like, hey, yeah, you're
going to be taking over the role of

420
00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:33,160
a new Black Panther, which probably
means that the Black Panther that was your

421
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,559
dad before that just died and things
like that, and then you're going to

422
00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:37,599
carry on the mantle and the setting
is going to be not anything to do

423
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:41,559
with the World War two Black Panther
game that's the features Captain America from Amy

424
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:45,720
Hennig. But beyond beyond that,
it's again, yeah, very very early,

425
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:48,400
so I think a lot of things
just aren't settled yet, so not

426
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,880
a lot of details to come out
of those things quite yet. Anything.

427
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,440
Is there any chance there shook a
little bit by some of the cracks the

428
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,599
MCU has been seeing lately, I
mean a little bit, but I think

429
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:03,200
the are hoping to just kind of
do more of what Spider Man's doing in

430
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,920
gaming. I think they're hoping to
like get some of that you know,

431
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,400
fire for them Jerry says, forget
puddle Gate, where the f is Alan

432
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,799
Wake's tweet jacket slash hoodie out fit. How could Remedy betray us like this

433
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,799
hashtag hoodie gates? Right, he
had it and he used it on American

434
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:25,279
Nightmer as well. This is messed
up, actually fucked that game play American

435
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,960
Nightmare, and I assume I'm gonna
be fine, So yeah, you'll be

436
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:32,519
fine. Aero Do Gao says,
only two is a nice surprise. Did

437
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,000
Xbox not what remedy to make it
when they still had it? Because this

438
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:41,519
looks leagues more interesting than Quantum break
Man I forgot. Yeah. Yeah,

439
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,000
everyone was like, no, Alan
Wake didn't do as well, Let's try

440
00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:48,759
something new. Absolutely, this is
one of those things where over time people

441
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:49,799
are like, no, we really
like Alan Wake, and the people that

442
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,640
made it were like, we would
like to go back to that, and

443
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,160
it kind of all just worked out. And Epic Games was looking to do

444
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,240
something that wasn't just spend a bunch
of money to keep a game off a

445
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,640
platform, so they came in as
publisher and yeah, it all kind of

446
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,039
worked out. Well, it didn't. Quantum Brie had like a like an

447
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:11,559
episode thing where you like, don'tload
the TV episodes between their dream Yes,

448
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:15,839
it's like one hundred gigabytes worth the
TV episodes. Yes, absolutely, that's

449
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:19,960
when they went whole hog on the
the live action stuff in a way that

450
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:27,920
was like maybe a bit too much
crouching Boomer hitting Zoomer says bug bug,

451
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,079
there you go, Connor, what's
this? Japan sales? Mario sold six

452
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,400
hundred and forty K, Sonic sold
k. I thought people love four K.

453
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,680
What's the problem. It was rough
for Sonic in Japan, but Sonic

454
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,559
has never been as popular in Japan. So again, it's why I resent

455
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,519
us like having to adopt the Japanese
names for Sonic characters randomly. It's weird

456
00:29:51,559 --> 00:29:53,359
about Yeah, I don't know why
they do that. Why do you do

457
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:56,640
you want me to call them Eggman? No, doctor Robot. It's a

458
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,119
great name, much better name than
egg Man. It sounds like some like

459
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:04,960
knockoff easter Bunny. Was it even
doctor Eggman? Because did they call him

460
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,799
doctor Egman in the movie? They
call him doctor Aigman in the movie.

461
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:11,279
Is doctor Robonic? He is doctor
robonin? Okay? Yeah, is like

462
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:14,240
a joke. I don't pay attention
to that movie. Yeah, I could

463
00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:17,119
tell because you have no respect for
it or no respect. Absolutely no.

464
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,720
And then Jesse said the truth you
all won't accept. Ye Before is the

465
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000
game of the year before it went
in a Game of the Year award.

466
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,759
I liked y'all before, and at
first I first played, It's like,

467
00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:29,079
yeah, this is like really good. I think, what's the percentage chance

468
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:34,319
of making the top six at the
at the keys six get nominated? I

469
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:37,880
think I think it's like, I'm
gonna say it's like fifteen percent, because

470
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:44,039
I think the Blizzard game thinks these
games get Yeah, I'm just gonna say,

471
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:48,319
these games get played quietly by like
a lot of Blizzard people, and

472
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,400
yeah, they're gonna have their complaints, but like, I think they're still

473
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,319
gonna be like, well, that's
the one I played the most of them.

474
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,279
I'm still gonna nominate that. Maybe
nobody hates Blizzard games more than Blizzard

475
00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:57,880
people. I know for sure,
you're right, You're right. I don't

476
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,240
know. Shagar mean Motto says,
five dollars for you guys because that kiss

477
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:07,839
on Tuesday gave you the wowie zowie's
and then Mario Mario says wowie Zowie.

478
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,599
It's me, Mario, Jeff,
what do you think of wowie Zowie.

479
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:15,079
I I've heard it like thirty times
now, and I think I'm like the

480
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:18,240
twenty ninth time, I'm like,
I'm into it. I am on board

481
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,559
with wowie Zowie. I like it. I felt a little bittray because you

482
00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:25,319
know, I was just playing as
Daisy and I thought it was like Daisy's

483
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:29,920
new catchphrase. Oh she says wowie
Zowie. Then I heard Luigi and Mario

484
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,519
say, I'm like, well,
that's Daisy's Oh that was special between you

485
00:31:33,599 --> 00:31:36,079
and Daisy. Yeah, I was
like, oh, Daisy, so like

486
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,519
Daisy's cute saying wowie Zowie. I
don't like it when other people say it.

487
00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:41,960
No, I think it's I think
it's this games sort of thing.

488
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:45,000
Yeah. Ten, Derek says,
but what about the Important Game Awards question?

489
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:51,200
What random non video game celebrity is
Kei Lee bribing onto the stage this

490
00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:56,440
year? Ah, he's He's gonna
get Charles Barkley for some reason. Yeah,

491
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,400
I'm trying to said there like an
obvious celebrity that, I mean,

492
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:05,359
Idris Elbow will almost certainly be there
right Well, sure was he there before

493
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,960
Eutress Elbow I can't remember, but
get people sure, yeah, okay,

494
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:15,160
yeah, mister Worldwide will be there. Jedi Moss's Game Wars only as five

495
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:21,640
slots. Really, if there's a
high what that's fucked up? That's he

496
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,759
should expand it to ten at least
six. Okay, well yeah, yeah,

497
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:29,599
Doubble four has gotten no chance.
I'm sorry. Yeah, doublefore has

498
00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:34,880
no chance now. Actually if it's
if it's only five, man uh just

499
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,599
says red Fall Game of the Year, not a nominated for a single damn

500
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,480
thing is red Fall. It'll get
nominated for something in our awards. I

501
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,359
think we'll see on the giant bomb
side of things. Yeah, everyone a

502
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,400
chat. It is not saying it's
six, it's six. It's it's six.

503
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,119
I got scared. Yeah, but
hey listen, Jeded Mosk gave us

504
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:57,799
money and none of you bitches did
so. True five, it must be

505
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,319
five, tell me it's six.
And a super chat and then Goldie says,

506
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:06,759
do you think Dave Day's gone happened? Because the creator's favorite game and

507
00:33:06,839 --> 00:33:09,559
Troy thirteen was right to help Retribution
and the last of us. That makes

508
00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:13,880
sense. Yeah, that's got to
be the lineage. There no other explanation

509
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,519
for it. Yep, Burrito says, not game mess, but thanks for

510
00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:22,680
the grub to help Mike tribution stream. I don't think I've heard you all

511
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:27,240
laugh so hard all almost makes it
not a blame game. People are enjoying

512
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:30,160
that one. Huh, yeah,
you really are getting off easy. I

513
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,119
don't think so. That's that's the
new favorite Blay club things telling whoever's playing

514
00:33:34,119 --> 00:33:37,519
it at their game while they play
some absolute garbage. Uh huh, like

515
00:33:37,559 --> 00:33:42,480
the shooting That game is real bad. Listen, it is. It's probably

516
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,480
the least we're terrible of the ones
I played so far. But it's a

517
00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:49,960
bad game. It is a bad
game, Jus says. I know Diable

518
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,480
will get naughty, but man,
I played diablem more than any other game

519
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:54,880
this year. Also purchase Horse Armer. Sorry everyone, it's okay, we'll

520
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,880
forgive you. But I just became
a member as well, just I wanted

521
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,279
to play that out. Thank you
so much. It is but like that's

522
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:02,519
a game that games like, that's
the whole thing there is, Like you

523
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,160
kind of are supposed to play that
game forever, which is part of the

524
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,159
problem for me because I'm like,
this isn't a year for me to be

525
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,320
playing like one game every day.
There's just so much I liked Die Before

526
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,480
a lot. I think the first
season was maybe a little rough. I

527
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:19,719
think a lot of people overreacted to
that, and I'm sure I think I

528
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,159
think it's already in a better place
for season two. I haven't really been

529
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,639
checking the pulse too much at some
point. Probably whenever they add the next

530
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:30,920
class, I'm definitely gonna go back
and play more ye before uh here next

531
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,840
year can win a best ongoing game? There you go? Oh, Greg

532
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,119
says how much money for you guys
to eat a can of just as can?

533
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:42,199
Heines beans on stream, but most
points, if it's that bean pizza

534
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:44,800
that's been going around now, just
try to give me a can of beans

535
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:49,000
during Summer game Fest and I said
no, I think I broke broke his

536
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:52,000
heart. But I said no,
get that away from me. I'm thinking

537
00:34:52,039 --> 00:34:58,800
about them beans beans a heines beans
on toast cat. Look. Beans is

538
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,000
a relatively new thing for me,
even being okay with beans. I've only

539
00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:07,239
started eating beans like two years ago. You gotta do they like getting the

540
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,159
fruit territory for you. I think, I think I didn't understand what beans

541
00:35:10,199 --> 00:35:14,119
were. I think I was confused. I think I assumed that they'd be

542
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:19,559
more like like like like peas or
like more like a Roger. Granted I

543
00:35:19,559 --> 00:35:22,559
eat peas now too. I don't
know. I just like I just lumped

544
00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:25,239
it in with all this other plant
stuff that I thought would be gross,

545
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,880
and there's out they're more starchy than
anything, which surprised me. It's like,

546
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,559
oh, it's almost like eating little
baked potatoes. It's weird. Next

547
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:40,360
one here is some casual says is
twenty twenty three one big po pogaccino or

548
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,360
what? What's? Oh? Yeah, it totally is this to get a

549
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:55,360
load of this guy doesn't know what
a pogaccino is. It is a do

550
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,800
you know what cappuccino is? Sure? Yeah? Do you know when when

551
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,360
the kids say pagers like you're pogging
now your mind? Oh and we're the

552
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,039
boomers. This is a boomer term. Oh no, ship, this is

553
00:36:09,159 --> 00:36:13,800
casual fucking with you all in congratsy
guys, money is where? Thanks?

554
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:22,960
You got stiff? Yeah, I'm
a Ricole says it's actually addressed why they

555
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,840
call him agmant Now and song frontiers. There's audiologs to get a pignant saying

556
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,039
he's embracing names since being called that
an adventure. Yes, I did.

557
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,960
Yeah, that's I'm working backwards.
Shouldn't. I'm I need a gun and

558
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,119
I gotta shoot myself. I can't. Why would he embrace that? No,

559
00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:43,599
Look, I'm glad that they address
it, but what they should have

560
00:36:43,639 --> 00:36:46,639
addressed it by him saying, hey, my name's doctor B call it the

561
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:50,159
Eggman, and so being like,
okay, fun is fun, but I'm

562
00:36:50,199 --> 00:37:00,599
not going to be disrespectful. Audio
lugs that actually rules the Zaxy says Lives

563
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:04,679
of E is an Arkhama Asylum esque
underdog to me, A P will be

564
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,119
nominated in some categories like best Action
Game. What you could call that.

565
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:12,280
People are gonna look for like any
excuse they can, and the fact that

566
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,360
that game is derivative, which when
you're playing it, who cares. It's

567
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,840
just a really fun game, but
people use as an if you're trying to

568
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,679
give something, yeah, yeah,
it becomes a it's an easy knock against

569
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,519
it in some in that situation.
Thank you for that first super chat.

570
00:37:27,559 --> 00:37:30,039
Second was armas my game of the

00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,079
the boys will be given a certified
retro game that's ten years ago or

590
00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:49,800
older. Their goal is to predict
the game's macrics score as a sands onmecrick

591
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,039
dot com. We use the closest
to the pinn scoring system, so each

592
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:55,320
point devia that they are from the
actual score, they will add one point

593
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:00,400
to their score. They get exactly
right, five deducted though. Therefore golf

594
00:39:00,519 --> 00:39:05,840
roles, you want the lowest score
possible at the end. So last time

595
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:13,199
was one bye? It was Mike
friend. No, that was Dan,

596
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:15,760
one of your friend. One of
you destroyed the other. That's right because

597
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,119
we did Dan edition that Yeah,
time, that's right, that's right.

598
00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:22,199
And Mike clearly knows all about Dan
records. So Jeff, you'll be going

599
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,920
first. Then I need you to
tell me what you think. Fewse for

600
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,079
the PlayStation three at least May twenty
eighth, twenty thirteen, and thirty five

601
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:37,079
correct reviews got and has on mecrec
dot com. I don't think about FEUs,

602
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:46,360
that's the thing. Uh So let's
see here it's like these games they

603
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,079
get bad, but how bad and
how low do reviewers go in twenty thirteen?

604
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:53,519
Uh? And is it just forgettable? And how much they punish it

605
00:39:53,559 --> 00:40:00,480
for that? I'm gonna go with
a seventy five okay, and remember there

606
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:04,280
being a game named Fuse. I
don't remember much about the game named Fuse.

607
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,519
I'll go with a seventy two.
Okay. Now the scores are locked

608
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:14,199
in. I will say, y'all
always forget how low bop goes every single

609
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,679
time. Boy, here we go. Anyways, Fuesday is not that bad

610
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:22,519
a game, though it didn't do
that badly. It is in that of

611
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:25,199
sixty three, so you're a little
off there, But yeah, bit wildly

612
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:30,800
all right. I remember Hayes better
than Fuse. Yeah, I remember the

613
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,599
cover of Hayes better than Yeah the
risky that did the soundtrack for Hayes.

614
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:42,639
So what was it? That was
nneach Nails Pantero game number two. It's

615
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,480
Mikey's turn, right, New Super
Mario Brothers Too, Everyone's favorite game on

616
00:40:47,519 --> 00:40:52,159
the Nintendo three DS. August nineteenth, twenty twelve, seventy Correic reviews to

617
00:40:52,199 --> 00:40:55,519
work with. It's still like it's
not it's terrible because it's still too margaining,

618
00:40:55,519 --> 00:40:59,679
but people were like over it.
I'm I say in eighty three.

619
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:05,440
Okay, I'm gonna go within man, I want to go in the seventies.

620
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,000
But Mike's right, and he's not
right about not being terrible. It's

621
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:14,360
a really bad game. But I'm
gonna go with eighty Okay. I feel

622
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,159
like that might be slightly high.
I feel like it could be upper seventies.

623
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,199
Actually, I think it could be
in the upper seventies too. I

624
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,320
do think it could be. It
could be like seventy sorry nine, but

625
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,320
yeah, all right, well seventy
nine is kind of what I want to

626
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:30,000
do in my heart, but eighties
super Mario Brothers to send that seventy eight?

627
00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:35,320
There you go, all right,
they're almost there, but hey,

628
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,440
it means you're tied up at fourteen
points, apiece. Let's going to game

629
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:45,840
number three Jeff Max Payne released on
the OG Xbox July twenty third, twenty

630
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,960
one, twenty four correct reviews to
work with j smout for the time.

631
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:58,800
Yeah, let's go with I think
this is really pretty well received. Also,

632
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,880
there has to be some described and
see here because the original Xbox was

633
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,119
not out July twenty thirty, two
thousand and one. So and that might

634
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:07,760
be the original release day of the
original on the PS two. Yeah,

635
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:13,000
okay, okay, all right,
so then I'm just gonna go with kind

636
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,679
of a safe unsure eighty six.
Okay, I'm gonna go eighty four,

637
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:27,960
A six and eighty four from Mikey. All right, Max pay a game

638
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,280
people definitely remember fondly, but what
they give it back then they gave it

639
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,559
a eighty nine. Wow, did
really like it? Huh? Yeah,

640
00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:38,719
I mean that I'm always surprised to
like when the game like that gets eighty

641
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,719
nine. But I'm like, at
the time, I guess that does make

642
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,800
sense. Yeah, Benji bous Ah
at their new stupid side screwed me over.

643
00:42:46,559 --> 00:42:49,559
I mean, I mean no comment, yeah, no, no,

644
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:53,199
we know we know that means Jeff
is slightly in the lead now. Game

645
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:59,280
number four back to Mikey, Ratchet
and Klank, released on the PS two

646
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,079
November fourth, two thousand and two. Forty three quick reviews people had to

647
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:12,719
like ratched in clink one, like, how much I'm going to say in

648
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:21,199
eighty eight? Okay, I'm yeah, I'm thinking, and I think eighty

649
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,000
eight is kind of like right where
I am mentally as well, I'm like

650
00:43:24,679 --> 00:43:30,119
waffling between eighty seven and eighty nine, but I'm going to be a little

651
00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:32,000
bit brave and go eighty nine.
I think it's in that higher end.

652
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:37,679
I would have gone higher if anything. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's

653
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:42,599
good, but I don't know if
it's that good. Yeah, I don't

654
00:43:42,599 --> 00:43:45,559
know it. Yeah, I think
some of the later ones did a little

655
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:47,880
bit better. But even though this
one did good, as I remember,

656
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,679
so we'll say they were going to
be better ones when they reviewed this one.

657
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:52,199
Well, yeah, I know,
I know, I know. I'm

658
00:43:52,280 --> 00:44:00,559
just saying I'm fran scheme things.
The original rushing client does sit at Mike

659
00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:05,280
had shit right, Mike shit,
Thank you, mister Ratchet, thank you,

660
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:10,000
mister Clink. Very good. All
right, well that means that fourteen,

661
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:15,000
Jeff sits at eighteen. This is
the game. Definitely no blowout here,

662
00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:19,639
as we had to game number five. Jeff's wait and see what happens.

663
00:44:20,039 --> 00:44:28,440
Last game is Cody Rose Allen Wakes
American Nightmare Xbox three, sixty February

664
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:37,159
twenty second, twenty twelve, seventy
two critic reviews. All right, I'm

665
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:45,360
going to say in eighty seven.
I think it did better than the game

666
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:52,360
itself. Okay, really no,
I don't think. I mean people were

667
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,320
back then. There's definitely a bit
of a like curve for digital things.

668
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,280
People don't like this as much as
the original. I'm gonna say more than

669
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:06,559
eighty four eighty four eighty four four. Yeah, but Mike, I thought

670
00:45:06,559 --> 00:45:08,360
people didn't like this as much as
the big I never played it. I

671
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,320
don't pay much attention to it.
Okay, that's your fault, and that's

672
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,880
gonna be your downfall. See,
this is why you lose because you're stupid,

673
00:45:16,159 --> 00:45:22,039
which is again, well you wouldn't
win. You wouldn't win there either.

674
00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:30,519
Yeah, I don't remember. Yeah, all right, well Allen Wake's

675
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:38,840
American Nightmare sits a seventy six.
It was lower, much lower, which

676
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:45,159
means you blew it. Yet Mike
wins twenty two to twenty nine when you

677
00:45:45,199 --> 00:45:47,920
could we've got eighty eight exactly.
I was like, oh, man,

678
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,440
poop. I don't get the theme. It just previous games by studios.

679
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:59,760
They'll put out song recently, Oh
yeah, old Alan Wake. You know

680
00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:04,679
pizza that claimed to be the place
from that movie in New York. I

681
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,159
don't know if they're lying or not. But if it's a New York pizza

682
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:13,239
place, they're lying experience, Yes, yeah, exactly. Listen, I'd

683
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,519
have it no other way. But
they all lie about being the original this

684
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,079
or being in that or whatever.
So hey, pizza, exact fast,

685
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,519
getting myself a fresh New York slice. Congratulations, like he says, this

686
00:46:24,599 --> 00:46:27,960
is real. Thank you, Jeff. It's good to be better than you.

687
00:46:28,039 --> 00:46:30,199
Yeah, absolutely, I can I
can tell. I can tell you're

688
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,920
enjoying it. All right, We're
gonna take one more quick break to get

689
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,559
all of this undone, and we
come back. We're going to be doing

690
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,679
the best game of two thousand and
six, actually the top five games,

691
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:45,199
and we'll discuss that together. Be
right back. We're back and we are

692
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:46,559
going to do the best Games of
two thousand and six. We're gonna have

693
00:46:46,639 --> 00:46:50,000
that discussion. But first we've got
a bunch more super chats. Mike,

694
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,079
why don't you read though, see
what people want to talk about from Chris

695
00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:54,840
Quinton. Really generous super chat.
First, superchittle, Thank you Chris.

696
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,320
How much Chris says. With your
upcoming journey to dance House, are you

697
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:04,039
guys planning any hijinks to do to
him high noisemakers around the house or stick

698
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:06,679
at Google eyes on pictures. Love
the great work, guys. I don't

699
00:47:06,679 --> 00:47:12,199
know if I want to try to
prank Dan on home turf. I don't

700
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,239
know how I'm gonna bring a gift. I'm gonna bring an offering. I'm

701
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:20,960
gonna get in good graces. I'm
gonna be in his house for a couple

702
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,960
of nights. I'm not gonna do
anything that's gonna give him incentive to try

703
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:30,079
to pull some elaborate scheme on me. No way. Yeah, listen,

704
00:47:30,159 --> 00:47:32,639
I think googly eyes might be the
right way to go for we were I

705
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,840
think something like that, something fun, something that that you would appreciate,

706
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,960
like as like a joke. It
maybe maybe put it in one inconvenience spot.

707
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:44,519
But yeah, I'm mostly with Mike
on this. I don't want to

708
00:47:44,519 --> 00:47:49,480
like be too afraid of Dan,
but he does. He would go nuclear

709
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,239
getting a prank war on five immediately. Yeah, and so like we have

710
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,760
to keep that in mind, and
I don't. I don't have the energy

711
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,039
for that. I have two kids. I can't keep up with that.

712
00:47:59,159 --> 00:48:00,920
There's no way I would try to
try to do something with be a fruit

713
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,679
and not like still not really understanding
that that is actually a bad idea and

714
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,760
it's just going to like start a
problem. Yep, like we're all going

715
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,840
to be uncomfortable. Uh huh,
No one's going to come out and feel

716
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,199
good about that. Yeah, Bob
is Me says, I just want to

717
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,840
say thank you for the fun content
and look forward to every week. Thank

718
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:21,199
you, Bob is Me. Super
Blastic says, just a random thought.

719
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,320
How great is the opening a super
Mario Galaxy. I'm always thinking about so

720
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,159
good another first super chat. Thank
you for all of the first super chats,

721
00:48:28,159 --> 00:48:31,880
everybody. Yeah, the opening Mario
Galaxy is fantastic, and uh yeah

722
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:37,480
I love Galaxy two, probably more
than one, but presentation has always been

723
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:42,679
a problem to if two's opening sucks
compared to the opening of Mario Galaxy one,

724
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:47,159
y GAXI One's opening is awesome.
It rules. It feels so grand.

725
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:52,960
There's like that one shot of k
Mick like shooting his wand and he

726
00:48:52,039 --> 00:48:54,400
does like a little flip because it's
so powerful. It's like, hell,

727
00:48:54,519 --> 00:48:58,000
yeah, this is like epic stuff. I don't know, I think about

728
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,719
that all the time. Ye I
like it a lot. Noble says,

729
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,239
Dragon Age Inquisition will win again.
God, that had to be the worst

730
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,159
year game we had since they started
doing the game awards, like a Dragon

731
00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:12,159
Age Acquisition. Not a bad game, but it was a week year though.

732
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,000
Yeah, so we hear the year
that Dragon Age Inquisition one game and

733
00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:16,840
what was uh there was the the
next time we had a week year it

734
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:22,639
was Shadow of Mordor Shadow Mourdor.
Also not a bad game, but that

735
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,000
was like one game of the year. I don't know if maybe it didn't

736
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,159
win Kiles Game of the Year,
but I think it won our Game of

737
00:49:28,199 --> 00:49:30,519
the Year by like default. When
we were doing a games Yeah, okay,

738
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:36,079
interesting look Willow David says, is
p like anything like a soul is

739
00:49:36,119 --> 00:49:40,320
like exactly Willows exactly like that?
Oh egg Man Roebotan the same year,

740
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:45,840
okay, yeah, game of the
I think it was just kind of like

741
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,760
there's a lot there are a lot
of way good eight out of tens and

742
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,960
then we looked around. I was
like, oh, there's no nine out

743
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,119
of tens or ten out of ten. I guess we got to pick one

744
00:49:52,119 --> 00:49:59,280
of these. Pick the not gonna
be Dragon sometimes yeah, Dragon, Shadow

745
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,679
of Mordor, egg Man Robotanik says, I'm leaning into a new venture egg

746
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:07,480
facts. As you know, it
takes twenty animals to make one egg bot.

747
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,400
Fascinating. Thank you, doctor Eggman
Robotnik, thank you for that.

748
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,960
I thought your first name was Ivo, but that's okay. What do I

749
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,559
know about Alma Rickole. I've been
saying that name differently each time because I'm

750
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:22,440
Yeah, that's fine, he says. Listen, Dan put Mike Maharty in

751
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,079
a Listen, Dan put Mike Maharty
in a basement with a camera which looked

752
00:50:25,119 --> 00:50:29,039
like a horror movie, just saying
yeah, I did. Do you remember

753
00:50:29,079 --> 00:50:31,320
that where you and chat when he
did that? Oh, it was it

754
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,239
was like it was terrifying. I
was like scared for bike because it was

755
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,039
like I could it was a completely
black Uh and yeah, I don't know.

756
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:43,199
So we'll probably have to deal with
some shit. Great. I just

757
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,199
we should be prepared. We should
have something that he needs to do that

758
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,840
he doesn't want to do, so
we got to just talk. Yeah,

759
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,199
is what He's gonna be nice to
win bag though, right, isn't he

760
00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:53,159
going to be there? Yeah,
it'll be nice to win bag, but

761
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,960
that means we'll be the the Whipping
Boys. Oh no, I'm gonna be

762
00:50:58,039 --> 00:51:00,639
something nice to him. He's not
going to be able to be to me.

763
00:51:00,679 --> 00:51:04,840
That's usually how I got through life. Ext I well that works out

764
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,519
for you. Bud Alex is how
scary is new Allan Wake? I really

765
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:10,360
liked the first one in Control,
but I am also a coward. I

766
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:15,239
mean everything I hear makes it sound
like it is scarier than the first Alan

767
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:19,199
Wake. It's scared. If it's
is it you think it's would be unbearable

768
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,039
for anybody? No, man,
listen, I'm a I'm a scaredy cat

769
00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:25,519
SOCIU objective. It's hard to say. It's hard to say. I will

770
00:51:25,519 --> 00:51:29,920
say that if when I got done
playing, when you guys were watching me

771
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:35,159
play, I finished up, I
went over there and it was kind of

772
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,000
dark, and I'm like, man, I hope I hope an angry naked

773
00:51:37,039 --> 00:51:39,239
man doesn't run at me. That
would be still. I was kind of

774
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,840
thinking about that kind of stuff,
so like it was like sticking with me

775
00:51:44,159 --> 00:51:45,480
and kind of make me feel a
little bit on edge, and I like

776
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,519
that's what I get stressed out with
that kind of stuff. But I think

777
00:51:49,519 --> 00:51:51,599
most people are going to be just
fine. With it, even though I

778
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:55,079
do think it's scary. A couple
more we just got here from l Grugg

779
00:51:55,199 --> 00:51:59,199
says, tell Dan you're making dinner
for him because he's such a good host,

780
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:04,480
then just take fifty plain hot dogs
boiled. That sounds good. Yeah,

781
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,920
Chris Quintin with another very generous Chris, thank you so much. Chris

782
00:52:08,159 --> 00:52:13,440
says, congratuatess to grub on winning
the Mario Grand Prix. Good job on

783
00:52:13,519 --> 00:52:17,280
letting Dan win Airquin that way,
he thinks he has a chance in the

784
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,840
real race for a Cup. If
Mike doesn't choke like he has been in

785
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,360
Jeopardy, it might be a close
race. Low, love you, Mikey,

786
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,800
love you, Chris. That was
a lot of fun. Yeah,

787
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,639
it was a lot of fun.
Do you have like a postgame sort of

788
00:52:30,679 --> 00:52:32,880
like where I went wrong for you
in Mario? Was it just like taking

789
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,159
too many chances? Wrong, bad
choice? What happened? No? No,

790
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,559
Jeff, I look, I think
the problem, Jeff is that you're

791
00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:46,199
better than me. And wow,
clear now. But I think because a

792
00:52:46,199 --> 00:52:50,000
lot of times I'll play to tomorrow
and I'll take dumb chances, and I

793
00:52:50,039 --> 00:52:52,320
just wasn't today for some reasons.
I think I was just in a good

794
00:52:52,559 --> 00:52:55,199
place, So I don't know,
I think I got I was playing about

795
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,920
as well as I could have at
the moment. I don't think I did

796
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,000
anything wrong, just things weren't really
working for me sometimes, you know,

797
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,800
made some mistakes here and there and
they would catch up. But man,

798
00:53:05,079 --> 00:53:07,039
we could do something like that again. That's such a good mode. I

799
00:53:07,079 --> 00:53:12,360
almost wish it did have like like
courses set up where we could just get

800
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,159
in a room and be like,
we want to play like the World one

801
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,920
Grand Prix. Yeah, yeah,
totally, yes, that should be DLC

802
00:53:19,079 --> 00:53:22,280
for that game. Yes, absolutely
fun. Yep, uh, that's it

803
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:23,360
for now. I think you get
so much, everybody. If we get

804
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:28,360
more super we will read them problem
absolutely. Two thousand and six. It

805
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,599
is a year that happened. It
happened that for two thousand and five before

806
00:53:30,599 --> 00:53:32,760
two thousand and seven. Now that
we have the history lesson out of the

807
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:39,159
way. Mike March Too, all
right, I'm gonna much too came out

808
00:53:39,199 --> 00:53:43,360
in the US in two thousand and
six. It's one of my favorite video

809
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:49,760
games ever. It's super fun.
It's a really good looking PlayStation two game.

810
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,119
You got some really fun levels here. They had Tron before they even

811
00:53:54,119 --> 00:53:57,679
brought Seron back. They put Tron
there, we all lost our minds.

812
00:53:57,679 --> 00:54:00,800
You have the really cool steamboat Willie
level. The combat in this game feels

813
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:06,079
fantastic. It's faster paced, you
can do a lot of wacky fun stuff.

814
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,360
The team up attacks are so cool
in this one, like teaming up

815
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:13,639
with Tron, teaming up with the
Bimbo was r and from Bomp ten.

816
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,320
He's there. For some reason.
This was at a time where the Kingdom

817
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,920
Hearts lure was expanding, and that
was fun, but didn't get to that

818
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,360
kind of bullshit over wrought stage that
it eventually got to. This was the

819
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:30,159
perfect mix of all that. You
still had plenty of the final fantasy stuff

820
00:54:30,199 --> 00:54:34,239
going on too, even though they
would shy away from that later. Kingdom

821
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,960
Hearts two was I don't know if
it was ever looking more forward to a

822
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,920
game of my life than the Kingdom
Hearts two. And then I got it

823
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:44,400
and played through it and had such
an amazing time with it. Just love,

824
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,679
love, love Everything about Kingdom Hearts
two makes me happy. Well,

825
00:54:47,679 --> 00:54:53,960
I'm happy for you. I'm gonna
say, we sports a game I really

826
00:54:54,079 --> 00:54:58,960
like. The sports always comes up
for these things. And I'm always kind

827
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,400
of a bit of a poo poo
or about it. I get it,

828
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,039
I understand. I think I would. I've been a poop poo are we

829
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:06,079
sports in the past. I've come
back around to it, though, and

830
00:55:06,119 --> 00:55:08,519
I'm recognizing it. It is a
very good video game. It does exactly

831
00:55:08,519 --> 00:55:10,920
what it's trying to do, and
it gets everyone involved, and it was

832
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:15,719
a success for a reason. No, you're right, it absolutely matters.

833
00:55:15,599 --> 00:55:19,800
It's an important game. I get
it. I get it. Do you

834
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,760
want what about the other we launch
game? This is because we have we

835
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,880
and Places three launching. I really
like Twilight Princess. I'll put it on

836
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,000
there. I like twyot Princess.
It definitely has some really good dungeons.

837
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:36,920
There's something about it that doesn't make
it my among my favorite of the style

838
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,079
of Zelda games. Yeah, like, I'll take a win Waker, I'll

839
00:55:39,119 --> 00:55:44,599
take you an offer of time over
this still. But it's not like it

840
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:47,039
does anything horribly wrong. I don't
know if the wolf stuff is all for

841
00:55:47,119 --> 00:55:52,199
me necessarily, but it is a
game mostly about going to these dungeons,

842
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,519
and again, the dungeons are very
good. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind

843
00:55:54,559 --> 00:55:58,440
of where I'm at where I'm like
the stuff it does that's annoying doesn't really

844
00:55:59,079 --> 00:56:00,920
get my way too much. Now
I've I've never beaten this game because we

845
00:56:01,039 --> 00:56:04,440
got stolen when I was almost at
the end, I was getting to the

846
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,440
sky Temple, and then we got
stolen. And I haven't had the heart

847
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:08,639
ever to go back and play it
again. I will if they were put

848
00:56:08,639 --> 00:56:14,280
it on the fucking switch. But
what I did play I really liked.

849
00:56:14,519 --> 00:56:16,400
Yeah, let's let's put it on
the short list at the very least there

850
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:23,119
it is all right, uh right
for the number one? Yeah, shoot,

851
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:30,800
hey beat Hey, hey to leep
beat Agents. Baby it is number

852
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:37,119
one? Is there? It is
so freaking good. It's a genius rhythm

853
00:56:37,159 --> 00:56:42,800
Gabe ever, so much fun.
Just like there's such a I don't know,

854
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,760
vibe is the word or style is
the word, the presentation of it,

855
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:52,119
the confidence and like yeah, just
yes, incredible selection of songs for

856
00:56:52,199 --> 00:56:55,559
it. Yeah, and like really
great recreations of those songs to the point

857
00:56:55,559 --> 00:56:59,159
where I know you like a lot
of them more than you like the originals.

858
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,920
Say it said, Oh Jumping Jack, Flash and Leap Beat Agents is

859
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,039
better than the version by the Rolling
Stones easily that that is the final song.

860
00:57:09,079 --> 00:57:13,639
That's the last level song. And
by the way, probably the best

861
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,840
last level in video game history is
Jumping Jack Flash in Elite Beat Agents.

862
00:57:19,239 --> 00:57:24,960
Incredible, so freaking exciting, so
epic. Dare I say so hype?

863
00:57:25,039 --> 00:57:30,719
Dare I say like, I'll never
forget being my grandpa's basement, Like just

864
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:36,199
grinding that final level out and finally
getting in and just it basically did the

865
00:57:36,239 --> 00:57:38,360
portals thing from a Vengers ed game, Like all the kickers from the other

866
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:45,039
songs show up, let's fucking go
on your luck. Leap Beat Agents.

867
00:57:45,119 --> 00:57:49,119
Just what a perfect little piece of
software. We almost didn't deserve it.

868
00:57:49,199 --> 00:57:53,159
This was the moment where the DS
went from this promising system to oh,

869
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:58,159
yeah, this thing is incredible.
This this game's going to have maybe not

870
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:02,400
stuff Quaite as good as this other
stuff like this, and uh, it's

871
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:08,719
just the It is the Dyes game
for me. Michael Samuel Menatti, Yeah

872
00:58:09,159 --> 00:58:16,320
get it. I can't believe we
all agree. I'm so proud of you.

873
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:21,679
Oh it's so good. I'll tell
you that. I was listening to

874
00:58:21,719 --> 00:58:24,320
the podcast back then from One Up, and I remember Shane bett Ais and

875
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:28,239
saying he was going through the office
and Luke Smith, who is now like

876
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,000
the director on Destiny, was playing
it. He's just whispering to himself,

877
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,800
this is game of the year.
I think this is game of the year.

878
00:58:36,119 --> 00:58:39,119
And so we have also the blessing
of the director of Bungie Ur director

879
00:58:39,119 --> 00:58:45,239
of Destiny there as well. A
leap beat Agents is perfect. It's so

880
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:50,599
good. It's god. This is
just a male military cheerleaders. I don't

881
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,039
even really know what they are.
The little storylines, when you can pay

882
00:58:53,039 --> 00:58:55,360
attention to them, they're great.
But even if you can't pay attention to

883
00:58:55,400 --> 00:59:00,480
them, it's just this cool like
visual noise happening up here while you are

884
00:59:00,519 --> 00:59:04,679
so dialed in to the little things
you got to tap on the screen and

885
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:08,119
move around. Uh. But and
then that gameplay simple and yet perfect for

886
00:59:08,599 --> 00:59:13,760
interacting with music with the screen,
and nothing's really kind of touched it when

887
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:19,199
it comes to like being that good
of a not instrument based rhythm game playing

888
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,320
controller playing. No, no,
just this kind of conducting this little orchestra

889
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,639
on your screen. It's so good. And you're right like the DS not

890
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:29,760
even like a promising system, a
system people were pretty skeptical of maybe up

891
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,400
until this point, and this is
like, no, this is a brilliant

892
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,239
idea. They're gonna be able to
do awesome ideas with this with this system,

893
00:59:35,639 --> 00:59:37,800
so yeah, it lead it.
Agents is my one with a bullet.

894
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,119
Literally just a few days ago,
like you know, you're the meaning

895
00:59:42,199 --> 00:59:45,039
in my life, You're the inspiration
was playing on the radio and I just

896
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,719
can only think about Leap the Agent's
When I hear that song, it was

897
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,679
like, Yep, this is a
game I gave to U, eventually gave

898
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,400
to to Stephanie and she played a
bunch and then we've gotten to Rhythm Heaven

899
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:58,199
because of this game. So yeah, yep, just love it. Uh,

900
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,480
I gotta play those because I know
it's based off a Japanese game that

901
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:09,519
also got to see London Wind.
Yeah, Whinded is like you're right,

902
01:00:09,559 --> 01:00:15,559
based on like its Leapt Agents was
basically localized for us, so very different

903
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:19,360
with like different characters. I mean
it's like the same style gameplay, but

904
01:00:19,519 --> 01:00:22,880
they got a bunch of American songs
and stuff like or Western songs. I

905
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:30,239
guess, yeah, it's it's kind
of tough from here for me, not

906
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:35,960
like I was definitely like I was
waiting for the Wii and I got we

907
01:00:36,119 --> 01:00:37,440
Sports and got Zelden. That's kind
of what I could afford that year,

908
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:40,639
was like flush with money, like
living with a bunch of assholes on Ohio

909
01:00:40,679 --> 01:00:47,199
State campus or just off of campus. Uh. I would probably go with

910
01:00:47,239 --> 01:00:52,000
like something like even like a super
Monkey Ball for for for the Wii that

911
01:00:52,119 --> 01:00:54,960
year, But I don't think it's
gonna play. I think maybe, I

912
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:00,440
think I really like this one Tetris
DS, but I'm like, I don't

913
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,000
know if that one's a very good
Tetris. It's a very good Tetris.

914
01:01:04,039 --> 01:01:07,760
I like it a ton a ton
of ton but even that, like it's

915
01:01:08,159 --> 01:01:12,719
you know, not even like in
the top tier of Tetris games these days.

916
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:14,880
Although I love it, I do
love it, but I don't know.

917
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,760
I might throw it up there just
to see where it lands. Here's

918
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,320
here's a big one. I always
remember this because it actually came out right

919
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,360
around the same time as Kingduhart's too. Here was the outo Scrolls four Oblivion.

920
01:01:23,599 --> 01:01:28,239
Yes, yeah, that's a thing, definitely definitely one of my favorites.

921
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,760
Yes yeah, And this this is
a good game. I think this

922
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,960
is the one that this kind of
you know, Marow and a Bit started

923
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,159
that format obviously, but this one
moved out some edges and I know some

924
01:01:39,199 --> 01:01:43,800
ways that people don't like, but
it made it a lot more palatable for

925
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:49,000
a wider audience. There's a pretty
clear lineage from Oblivion even to a starfield,

926
01:01:49,039 --> 01:01:52,079
and there's things that Oblivion still kind
of does better than a lot of

927
01:01:52,079 --> 01:01:55,800
those games. It does feel a
bit more immersive. It's a very dense

928
01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:01,800
game, really interesting side quest,
fantastic expansion it later got with Shivering Ailes.

929
01:02:02,239 --> 01:02:07,400
Yeah, Oblivion is very very good
stuff. Yeah, I love Oblivion.

930
01:02:07,679 --> 01:02:09,639
It's with a game where I'm like, oh, I just I'm going

931
01:02:09,719 --> 01:02:14,800
to spend a ton of time just
wandering around this world doing crimes and then

932
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:15,920
finding out there's a whole thing where
you can like, oh you know,

933
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,920
you could sell the stolen goods to
a fence and get into that whole thing,

934
01:02:20,199 --> 01:02:22,880
and it just blew me away.
So Oblivion is almost certainly going to

935
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,920
be on this list for me.
Kind of a weird main story. I

936
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:31,840
think Patrick Stewart died and then Sean
Bean turns into a dragon, but what

937
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:36,719
whatever with that? But yes,
right, yeah, And I never really

938
01:02:36,719 --> 01:02:39,079
played through the main story. I
didn't need to, so I mean,

939
01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:42,639
I'm really looking forward to that remake. I would like to go back to

940
01:02:42,679 --> 01:02:47,440
this game and experience it. Are
you a Gears of War guy? I

941
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:52,000
wore you ever. I loved the
first Gears of War. I thought the

942
01:02:52,039 --> 01:02:55,239
first time was really really cool.
I mean, when the first Gears War

943
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:59,480
came out, it was the best
looking console game we had. Oh yeah,

944
01:02:59,519 --> 01:03:02,679
sure, differently gorgeous, and I
mean this was the game that basically

945
01:03:02,719 --> 01:03:07,800
took the Residing before celt gameplay and
really went full okay, let's just make

946
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,519
a shooter out of that. And
then it did the whole cover thing,

947
01:03:10,519 --> 01:03:15,480
which became a big deal. And
the co op was super fun, really

948
01:03:15,519 --> 01:03:19,800
good split screen co op on this. I had a very memorable playthrough going

949
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,239
through this with my brother, you
know, doing your thing, getting to

950
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,559
that train level at the end,
thinking that was the coolest thing in the

951
01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:28,079
world, until we got the train
level and then tried it too a little

952
01:03:28,119 --> 01:03:30,000
bit later. Now I love the
first Gears of War. I thought Gears

953
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,679
of War one was super interesting.
It's a bit a while since I played

954
01:03:32,679 --> 01:03:36,800
it. I bet I would still
have fun with it. I think I

955
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,480
would even enjoy in some ways.
How it probably feels simpler and smaller than

956
01:03:40,519 --> 01:03:44,960
the sequels, which got very,
very big. Right Here's War one was

957
01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:49,480
kind of big enough for me.
Yeah, I'm gonna put it up here.

958
01:03:49,519 --> 01:03:52,679
I think there it has a chance. I was. I'm like,

959
01:03:52,719 --> 01:03:55,599
real, I was playing a lot
more three sixty this year than I than

960
01:03:55,639 --> 01:03:59,519
I remember it. I'm like,
I must have got a three sixty like

961
01:03:59,639 --> 01:04:02,480
pretty early on. I guess three
sixty came out in two thousand and five,

962
01:04:02,559 --> 01:04:04,679
but right, this is the first
full year of the three. Yes,

963
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,840
definitely a good year for that system. I really liked Dead Rising.

964
01:04:11,119 --> 01:04:15,880
I played a lot of Dead Rising. It's one that, like you know,

965
01:04:15,719 --> 01:04:18,039
in my estimation these days, it's
like, I don't know if I

966
01:04:18,039 --> 01:04:20,000
would have as much TRUG going back
to that, But I don't know.

967
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:25,840
Some part of me thinks, having
played so many Rogue Lights at this point,

968
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:29,679
the time system would make even more
sense to me, So I'm like,

969
01:04:30,039 --> 01:04:31,239
I don't know. Maybe I do
want to put it up there at

970
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,760
least for consideration. It's like Dead
Rising I ever played was three because it

971
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,599
was an Xbox One launch game.
I kind of yeah, and I liked

972
01:04:38,599 --> 01:04:42,400
it a lot, but it's weird. Despite my capcom love never really played

973
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:46,880
Dead Rising one very much. Yeah, it's Yeah, it was definitely very

974
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:51,559
interesting in terms of how it was
like presenting itself and having you play through

975
01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:57,320
it and have the time system.
Yeah, very cool. Final Fantasy twelve

976
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,440
still one of my favorite final fans. Oh sure. Yeah. And this

977
01:05:00,679 --> 01:05:03,079
was actually this was actually the first
Found Fantasy I beat. It was after

978
01:05:03,119 --> 01:05:06,440
beating this, I went back and
played one through ten kind of in the

979
01:05:06,519 --> 01:05:14,239
weird six month long quote unquote.
Marathon twelve is great. It basically kind

980
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,639
of like borrow some stuff from you
know, Kotor and some of those style

981
01:05:16,719 --> 01:05:20,639
RPGs in terms of not really turn
based, but you know it is your

982
01:05:20,679 --> 01:05:25,480
turn after a bit, but you're
walking around. Just really loved the look

983
01:05:25,719 --> 01:05:30,400
of the world, fun characters,
the whole kind of I don't like Mediterranean

984
01:05:30,559 --> 01:05:33,079
fantasy setting. Is that what you
would call it? Whatever they're doing with

985
01:05:33,159 --> 01:05:36,960
I, yeah, I had a
lot of fun. I think I had

986
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,039
a very good title with Fan Fantasy
twelve. I like fun and Fantasy twelve.

987
01:05:41,079 --> 01:05:44,119
I've not played a ton of it, but I played the first tennis

988
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,400
hours and I really like what they're
doing in it, and I like the

989
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,920
look of it and the characters,
and I definitely feel the Star Wars inspira.

990
01:05:51,199 --> 01:05:55,599
Maybe maybe it was prequels by them, but Star Wars inspiration influence.

991
01:05:55,679 --> 01:05:57,360
Yeah, yeah yeah, And it's
like, oh yeah, you could see

992
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,679
that, but they do what they
always do and like run with it and

993
01:05:59,719 --> 01:06:04,480
do their except instead of Chewbacca,
the kind of roguish guy has a sexy,

994
01:06:04,519 --> 01:06:10,400
tall bunny lady in lingerie. Well
that's just better in every way.

995
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:15,239
Absolutely. Okay, then, so
Gears of War. You you enjoyed Gears

996
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,199
of War over on the PS three
Resistance Fall of Man? Were you a

997
01:06:19,239 --> 01:06:25,599
Resistance Fall of Man fella? I
did not like resistance. I was staunchly

998
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:31,880
against resistance. I thought resistance was
kind of clunky and ugly, and I

999
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,000
don't know, it didn't Resistance didn't
do it for me. Maybe I was

1000
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,280
harsh on it. I don't know. Maybe I need to go back some

1001
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,840
day, but I thought, like
I think, I think Resistance Fall of

1002
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,360
Man stands out because there wasn't a
lot of great stuff happening on the PS

1003
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:46,840
three at that time, so it's
like what people had to hold on to.

1004
01:06:47,079 --> 01:06:49,719
Sure, It's like other than that, you're like playing some like third

1005
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:55,360
party games and hoping for the best
there. Yeah, I mean, should

1006
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,480
we even put it up for consideration? I don't think yeah, now if

1007
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:04,400
you were staunchly against it, kind
of staunchly anti since I'm afraid there's a

1008
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,480
lot. As much as I love
and charted a lot of those other PlayStation

1009
01:07:08,639 --> 01:07:13,280
three era franchises like Infamous kill Zone, they didn't do a whole lot for

1010
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,880
me. Yeah, yeah, there
was definitely PS three was like them figuring

1011
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,760
some stuff out. The shift to
HD was that HD. Uh Yeah,

1012
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:24,039
that was definitely troublesome at first and
stuff, but they think, you know,

1013
01:07:24,239 --> 01:07:26,800
by the in that generation had some
some cool stuff, but it was

1014
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,079
obviously they were reloading with the PS
four and they had a ton of games.

1015
01:07:30,599 --> 01:07:34,800
So we gave Guitar Hero some props
last time with five. Targo two

1016
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:39,400
is this year, which is one
most people do like more. It is

1017
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,119
basically more the same, but it
is also very good. I do like

1018
01:07:43,199 --> 01:07:45,519
Guitar Hero too. I'll put it
up there. I like a Tar Hero

1019
01:07:45,639 --> 01:07:49,519
two a lot as well. Did
Bully come out in two in two thousand

1020
01:07:49,519 --> 01:07:53,159
and six, and have you played
it? I've never played Bully. That

1021
01:07:53,239 --> 01:07:56,000
is one of my big oops.
I should have played that game. Yeah,

1022
01:07:56,039 --> 01:07:58,880
I missed it. I only mostly
missed that game. So yeah,

1023
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,679
I'm i'llso been waiting for them to
remake that one. What about Never Winter

1024
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:08,039
Nights too? No? No,
In fact, I just recently remember that

1025
01:08:08,119 --> 01:08:11,199
this existed. I remember never went
their Nights one coming up, but two

1026
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:15,480
I kind of just sort of forgot
about. Yeah me, uh, you

1027
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:17,000
know what, let's get We'll see
if we have some stuff in the community.

1028
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:21,199
Oh my god, Jeff, it's
two thousand and six. Oh six,

1029
01:08:21,399 --> 01:08:27,840
you know what we're forgetting, John
Madden? Oh seven? Well,

1030
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,600
okay, what are we forgetting?
Sonic six? Yeah? You motherfucker Sonic

1031
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:36,840
it's right there in the not real
name. Yeah, of course Anti Speed

1032
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,159
or something not from that game.
But here now. But hey, still

1033
01:08:40,159 --> 01:08:43,279
can sing the song if you want
Castopia. It is the year Sonica six.

1034
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,840
Something had to be said, and
I said it, So now we

1035
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,880
can move on for our lives.
All right, there we go. All

1036
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,760
right, let's see let me bring
this back over here from the community.

1037
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,640
Alex says, I'm a fake Kingdom
Hearts two fan, thinking it was two

1038
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,800
thousand and five. It's my favorite
game in a super important series in my

1039
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,119
life. I love how it spanned
and arguably perfected the Bass Kingdom Hearts gameplay.

1040
01:09:03,079 --> 01:09:08,359
Jackie Lander says, Jeff and Micher
fools. I just don't I've never

1041
01:09:08,399 --> 01:09:12,439
really I had never gotten into Okami. I'm sorry. I like like I

1042
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,000
was like like you me, and
then I kind of bounced off it.

1043
01:09:15,119 --> 01:09:17,520
I know a lot of people love
Okami, and I feel kind of bad

1044
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,119
about it. At some point I
will give it another go. Yeah,

1045
01:09:20,199 --> 01:09:24,319
same here, I will go to
another one. Yep. Mister Booler says

1046
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:29,039
The Elder scrolls four Oblivying and Okami, and since they're pretty much ties for

1047
01:09:29,119 --> 01:09:35,359
him, Adam jud says, agents
are go for Elite Beat. Agents introduced

1048
01:09:35,399 --> 01:09:39,520
young me to some great songs.
I actually prefer the covers to the originals

1049
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:44,159
in some cases tons of charm,
humor and replayability with the difficulty modes.

1050
01:09:44,399 --> 01:09:47,279
God, I wish we could get
like high quality rips of the song files.

1051
01:09:47,359 --> 01:09:51,960
Someday'd be awesome. It did not
come out in two thousand and four,

1052
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,319
but it did awaken something in me. Uh and then he posts let

1053
01:09:56,319 --> 01:10:00,760
me come back here for everybody.
Uh. The Elite Beat Divas hard Mode

1054
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,960
Artist difficulty. Yep, there it
is uh, Lenny Cool, Dick Denver,

1055
01:10:05,079 --> 01:10:09,520
I'm going to vote for Twilight Princess
because I need something to be mad

1056
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,800
at. Later today, when Mike
says it shouldn't make the list because wolves

1057
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:18,439
are scary or some ship also eb
A number one Adam GC says that Twilight

1058
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,960
Princess has bloated, poorly paced and
pretty drab looking. But man of those

1059
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,640
dungeons special? What other game tasks? Uh? It tasks you with exploring

1060
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,159
a haunted mansion in the mountains,
searching for ingredients to make soup for a

1061
01:10:30,199 --> 01:10:34,920
possessed a yetty, I don't have
amazing dungeons in this game. I wish

1062
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:40,279
there should be like a dungeon like
Gauntlet version of this game. You just

1063
01:10:40,359 --> 01:10:43,840
do the dungeons. Did you play
the HD version on with you? I

1064
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,359
played a bit of it. I
didn't play through it. I played maybe

1065
01:10:45,359 --> 01:10:47,520
half of it, and then,
you know, I wonder if they okay.

1066
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,640
I was like hoping they maybe got
you to the dungeons a little bit

1067
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,880
quicker. But I don't think they
did that much editing. I don't.

1068
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,439
I don't know, I don't.
I don't think it was like I don't

1069
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,720
think it sped up a little bit, but it's still pretty opening, you

1070
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,159
have. It's not like when they
did Dragon Quest seven for the three DS

1071
01:11:03,199 --> 01:11:06,640
and they like sped it up by
eight hours because I did through so long.

1072
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:11,560
It's still really long. Yeah,
it was quite that. Uh.

1073
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,479
Shira Shia muro says, I want
to shout out Star Wars Empires at War.

1074
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:19,239
I want this new age of non
EA exclusivity to give us new RTS

1075
01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:23,479
experiences we all deserve. But of
all the games of two thousand and six,

1076
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:27,000
I look back on this one the
fondest. H shearmro. I will

1077
01:11:27,039 --> 01:11:30,680
say, I've heard rumors a Star
Wars strategy game, maybe not RTS,

1078
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,840
but a strategy game of some sort
is in the works. Dropping like that.

1079
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,560
Okay, let's trup it. Yeah
yeah, I mean, listen,

1080
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,920
there's I don't want to give too
any details, but yeah, there's it's

1081
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,840
worth getting excited about that. That's
what the kind of Star Wars games are

1082
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,079
gonna be getting soon. Well,
you go, we're not gonna, we're

1083
01:11:44,079 --> 01:11:45,960
not gonna put your game on the
list, subal, but you just got

1084
01:11:45,119 --> 01:11:46,920
to a leak out of it.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's even

1085
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,880
better, right, even better.
Velocity Prime one Mike and Jeff are wrong

1086
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,560
about O Comedy the clear game of
the year, but I'm going to throw

1087
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:58,279
my hat to We Sports, one
of the most paradigm shifting and fun launch

1088
01:11:58,359 --> 01:12:04,840
games ever made. Paradigm shaking.
Yeah, shaking is the right word,

1089
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:11,199
because shake your hand. Okay,
all right, I didn't know you were

1090
01:12:11,239 --> 01:12:15,520
still gonna POOPHO is all right.
Flobo Trun says weirdly good movie ty In

1091
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,079
Games Part two. My game of
the year for two thousand and six is

1092
01:12:18,119 --> 01:12:23,119
Scarface. The world is yours.
There's actually a bunch of the movie tying

1093
01:12:23,319 --> 01:12:26,479
our TV show ty In Games from
two thousand and six. That's when twenty

1094
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,199
four of the game came out and
the Sopranos wrote to whatever it was wrote

1095
01:12:30,199 --> 01:12:34,199
to respect just like people with guns
who shot people. Uh oh yeah,

1096
01:12:34,279 --> 01:12:40,920
definitely. Villain Max says Gears of
War achievements seriously fun co op campaign,

1097
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,159
best visuals at the time. In
my first online game, it was a

1098
01:12:44,199 --> 01:12:46,680
great experience learning how to wreck people
with a chainsaw gun. Yeah, it

1099
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:51,159
always felt good. Luigi Mansion Wolf
five says, got to give a shout

1100
01:12:51,159 --> 01:12:55,800
out to one of my favorite and
most underrated rockstar games, Bully I love

1101
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:59,880
the idea of GTA in a school
setting, and the overall aesthetic is unmatched

1102
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,960
for me. Cranch's MC basketball says, I don't think any games is more

1103
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,760
two thousand and six than twenty four
of the game. Yeah, it was.

1104
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,000
It was a very two thousand and
six When I want to go back

1105
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,359
to play it a little bit ago. Bugget Delos has two thousand and six

1106
01:13:12,399 --> 01:13:15,640
brought four of my favorite games,
all of which could use a remaster.

1107
01:13:15,119 --> 01:13:18,399
Outrun two thousand and six Coast to
Coast is the best way to play Outrun

1108
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:24,399
too, including the additional expansion map
Outrun two sp new slipstream mechanics, and

1109
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,720
an incredible heart Attack mode, a
sort of mini game gauntlet that puts the

1110
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,640
game puts you through while racing against
the clock to teach you how to optimally

1111
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,560
play the game. I want this
version, I've been I got out Run

1112
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,239
two for my Xbox finally, but
I have not tracked down two thousand and

1113
01:13:38,239 --> 01:13:41,880
six yet. The other three games
from Buggetello, God Hand, Chibi Robo

1114
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,560
and Mother three only got a release
in Japan, but you guys should play

1115
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,439
the Tomato translation. It really is
one of the best fans fan translations of

1116
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,880
all time. Yes, I got
Jibby Robo a great personal cost I got

1117
01:13:53,000 --> 01:14:00,000
Jimmy Robo slimebic. Some says this
was the year I actually got my first

1118
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:02,800
video game console, though we I'm
not that young. I was sixteen at

1119
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,319
the time, but I was more
of an emulator PC handheld gamer before that.

1120
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:10,920
Interesting. So Twilight Princess got played
a lot by me, and eight

1121
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,680
point eight was the perfect score for
it. Shut up a little high,

1122
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,720
Yeah, maybe shout outs to Eba, MegaMan, Battle Network six and the

1123
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:24,159
prequel to Skyrim Oblivion for other games
I played a whole bunch of that year.

1124
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,439
Dunamal Crossing says two thousand and six
has got a lot of games that

1125
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,399
are special for me. Metrod Prime
Hunters, Oh yeah, Man Excite Truck,

1126
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:34,439
Oh yeah. That's a simple but
criminally underrated racing game with a killer

1127
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:40,640
home depot rock soundtrack, weirdly composed
by Kenji Yamamoto, who's done most of

1128
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,199
the Metroid games. That's right,
The Yamamoto like moved around earlier at that

1129
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:47,199
time. But if we were talking
top five contenders, definitely have to nominate

1130
01:14:47,239 --> 01:14:49,960
the very first Gears of War as
well as Prey. I was going to

1131
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,720
ask if you ever played the original
Prey. Oh yeah, I think everyone

1132
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,640
day because it was pretty early in
that year. Everybody was kind of in

1133
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,520
this weird place with the three to
sixty. It seems like every month we

1134
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,520
were all playing same like eight out
of ten game that came out that month,

1135
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:08,199
So like Lost Planet, we really
were. Yeah, and my Priay

1136
01:15:08,359 --> 01:15:12,359
was pretty good. There's something super
special about it, but it was fun.

1137
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,720
Razzle Jazzl says Star Wars Empires at
Wars perhaps my favorite RTS game of

1138
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,920
all time. Also shout out to
Twilight Princess. I much prefer Top Down

1139
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:24,319
Zelda to three D Over the Shoulder
Zelda, but I do still have a

1140
01:15:24,359 --> 01:15:28,479
lot of love for Twilight Lea.
But spook Yer says, I love Okamie,

1141
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,399
and I love Final Fantasy twelve and
a bunch of other two thousand and

1142
01:15:30,399 --> 01:15:32,399
six games. Actually, but I'm
going to have to give it to this

1143
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:36,920
lady right here, Cookie Mama.
I crave her approval to this day better

1144
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:41,840
than Mama. Remember the one that
Cookie Mama came out came out that was

1145
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,199
like, yeah, what was it
mining for bitcoin or something? Yeah,

1146
01:15:45,279 --> 01:15:50,359
something like that. They didn't have
the licensers. Yeah, man only on

1147
01:15:50,399 --> 01:15:54,479
the switch? Could that happen?
That's how franchises die. I can Yeah,

1148
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,760
Kariakee Blue is picking up an entire
gumball machine and wielding as the weapon

1149
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,720
is a vibe and Capcom made that
happen dead rising tons of stupid fun in

1150
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:04,239
this game. I hope they decide
to revisit this franchise again one day.

1151
01:16:04,279 --> 01:16:09,920
I bet Mex, says the lead
beat Agents for oozing so much style and

1152
01:16:10,039 --> 01:16:14,039
charm. Hammond of Texas says the
older scrolls for oblivion my first Bethesda Game

1153
01:16:14,279 --> 01:16:17,479
Studios RPG, and I've been playing
and loving all of them ever since.

1154
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:24,079
Screaming Mad And says Madden NFL seven
was the second game of the series to

1155
01:16:24,159 --> 01:16:27,680
have the truck stick, but since
Madden has been wrongfully robbed so many times

1156
01:16:28,079 --> 01:16:30,199
either, I'll offer We Sports as
a Game of the Year contender since it

1157
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,960
was the killer packing game that sold
so many wis, but also shout outs

1158
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:40,760
to Tetris DS Spoon. Heaven sixty
four says the game that one Amazon reviewer

1159
01:16:41,039 --> 01:16:46,239
eloquently described as Bobby Hill meets Boarding
School meets the Boondocks. Bully Bench JC

1160
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,920
Zelda Twilight Princess, one of the
best legend of all the games and just

1161
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:54,720
one of the best games of all
time. Disposable Content says, I'm going

1162
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:58,800
to pick something that has been mentioned. Rockstar Games presents table Tennis. I've

1163
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,600
still never played this game. I
don't think I really want to remember if

1164
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,840
I have. Yeah, I really, I really want to. I've always

1165
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,439
wanted to, but I wish they
just put it out on PC or something.

1166
01:17:09,079 --> 01:17:12,479
Yeah. So he's got an honorable
mention to the Godfather video game by

1167
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:16,039
EA. It's the only piece of
Godfather media I've ever consumed. That's perfect.

1168
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:23,560
Crouching Kringle Me the Crouching Kringle hitting
Crampus says, we finally can kill

1169
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:27,119
Goofy this year, and we did
first thing tonight. So I instead want

1170
01:17:27,119 --> 01:17:29,840
to shout out one of the best
albums of two thousand and six, Blind

1171
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:33,079
Guardians, a twist in the myth
you're a Blind Gardian fan, I'm man.

1172
01:17:33,199 --> 01:17:38,359
I I got into Blind Guardian probably
even before two thousand, so cool

1173
01:17:38,399 --> 01:17:41,359
fucking dragon. I think it's because, like, I was really into Lord

1174
01:17:41,399 --> 01:17:44,000
of the Rings and they dis some
Lord of the Rings based albums. I

1175
01:17:44,039 --> 01:17:46,039
don't know sure so much about Blind
Guardians now, I don't know anything about

1176
01:17:46,079 --> 01:17:49,079
it, but I always like it
when a band based their music on Lord

1177
01:17:49,079 --> 01:17:50,960
of the Rings. And I'm not
joking. I like that a lot.

1178
01:17:51,159 --> 01:17:56,159
No, the euro heavy metal band. Big emphasis on fantasy stuff obviously,

1179
01:17:56,199 --> 01:18:00,720
but very melodic. Uh. They
have some very good stuff. In fact,

1180
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,319
actually my tin whistle lady makes the
YouTube videos just did tabs for one

1181
01:18:04,359 --> 01:18:08,399
of their songs. That's so weird. Interesting to talk about Blind Gardy forever

1182
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,319
and I've had like two Bland Guardian
things in my life. This week is

1183
01:18:11,319 --> 01:18:14,159
something coming back Blind Guardian? Are
they coming back? They must be coming

1184
01:18:14,199 --> 01:18:16,359
back on all the kids are getting
into them. They have like a ten

1185
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:21,279
minute song based on the Iliad called
and then there is silence. I listen

1186
01:18:21,359 --> 01:18:25,479
to it all the time. I
love Bland Guardian. I'll give them listen.

1187
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,920
You said they're melodic and heavy,
and I'd like that. Best kind

1188
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:31,720
of metal worth is their probably best
the most famous album listen to with time

1189
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,399
stands Still at the Iron Hills.
There's that's my commentation for you. Good.

1190
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:40,920
So what a show, Riffick says
Guitar Hero too. It's say this

1191
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,720
is a random choice, but I
think it's perfectly valid. Tokyo Game Life

1192
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:47,239
says Twilight Princess is better than wind
Waker. Uh, Doctor Ryan, this

1193
01:18:47,359 --> 01:18:50,600
is a CTU agent, Jack Bauer, get on the ground, grab.

1194
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:54,720
I'm begging for a full playthrough on
GV for any reason you can think of

1195
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:58,199
in the future. I did play
the first mission and me and Dan kind

1196
01:18:58,199 --> 01:19:00,239
of ran out of steam with it, so we decided not to do a

1197
01:19:00,239 --> 01:19:02,720
full play through. But there's always
stuff, stuff like Extra Life where we

1198
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:06,760
need something, so we'll see.
Jamie h Christmas Eve says it will probably

1199
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:10,600
wind up missing the top five,
but I want to shout out Portrait of

1200
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:15,479
ruin another stellar ds Igavina fun two
Hero System and like uh like with Soma

1201
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:20,560
in Aria, it was refreshing to
not play as a Belmont. Yeah,

1202
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:24,079
this is one of the weaker ones
for me, but I still really love

1203
01:19:24,119 --> 01:19:28,359
it. I still has a lot
of like ties to Castlevania Bloodlines on the

1204
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:32,000
Genesis, right, Yeah, I
think so. Yeah. Diogos does say

1205
01:19:32,079 --> 01:19:36,880
the Sopranos wrote to respect Uh a
lot of these games in two and six.

1206
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:40,159
What the hell? There are a
lot of them that we're obsessed with

1207
01:19:40,199 --> 01:19:44,680
the mob in two. Yes,
I think so well. Sopranos was like

1208
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,319
still like the best thing that had
ever happened on TV, so like everything

1209
01:19:47,359 --> 01:19:50,439
was trying to do that. There
was a bunch of movie tie in games

1210
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:57,399
like X Men the Official game and
Aragon the Dragon Kids game. Oh yeah,

1211
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,840
didn't like a kid write that book
too. Yeah. I think it

1212
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,119
was like like a teenager or something. You do you ever know a dragon

1213
01:20:04,159 --> 01:20:06,760
guy, a guy that was like
just so into dragons. Just the guys

1214
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:11,760
into dragons are pretty big. Yeah. I had a guy that in my

1215
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:18,800
school that wrote very graphic poems about
dragons. You see did you see the

1216
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:28,039
dragons? I don't know what it
was, the dragons like toys. Yeah,

1217
01:20:28,039 --> 01:20:30,880
I've seen the dragons, Mike,
Yeah, looks like that doesn't look

1218
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:34,520
like that should work. Yeah,
but listen, if there's a will,

1219
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:44,960
there's a way, it turns out. I'm glad that we can bring experience

1220
01:20:45,079 --> 01:20:48,640
this podcast. Just let people know. And Goldie says, Bully, I

1221
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,319
was having such a good time at
school, and I remember my mind being

1222
01:20:51,359 --> 01:20:55,119
blown when it opens up to the
little town that you get to explore.

1223
01:20:56,239 --> 01:20:58,560
I want to play, Bully.
I wish I played. I wish I

1224
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,960
was just stupid as a kid,
and I was like, I don't want

1225
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:04,319
to be I don't like Bly is
what I want to play? That's what

1226
01:21:04,399 --> 01:21:08,920
I thought. Yes, sorry,
the game is like you can Bully,

1227
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,039
but also you can like bully other
boys, right, they like to find

1228
01:21:12,039 --> 01:21:15,960
the boys in the cover looks like
such a bully that I just oh yeah,

1229
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:17,359
yeah, he definitely. He looks
like a shithead. He looks like

1230
01:21:17,399 --> 01:21:20,399
a soccer fan. Am I right? I really should play Bully. I

1231
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,800
feel very so. Some people are
saying it. I feel very bad about

1232
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:28,079
not even played Bully. Uh.
Fluffy cloud Gamers says I've not played a

1233
01:21:28,079 --> 01:21:32,239
theme park simulator quite like Thrillville except
for its sequel. Loved running around the

1234
01:21:32,239 --> 01:21:36,920
theme parks, building up coasters,
rides and then actually riding them. I

1235
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:43,399
love my role Becaster Tycoon, but
I did not play much through. Uh.

1236
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:45,319
You just hate Atari, that's all
it is. Oh yeah, obviously,

1237
01:21:46,399 --> 01:21:51,079
show g Codo mentions we sports let's
see here. Wong Gifts says the

1238
01:21:51,079 --> 01:21:55,039
best game of two thousand and six
is obviously a lead beat Agents, but

1239
01:21:55,119 --> 01:21:58,359
also mentions a shout out to Dreamfall
The Longest Journey, a sequel to one

1240
01:21:58,399 --> 01:22:02,479
of the best point clicks of all
time, Jankie stalupin Combat. I feel

1241
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,720
very bad about not, you know, somebody who likes point a click adventure

1242
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:09,960
games. I have not played Dreamfall
or The Longest Journey. Someday I'll have

1243
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:14,000
to rectify that, but probably not
anytime soon. You were you like,

1244
01:22:14,119 --> 01:22:16,199
still on point and clicks by the
time this was happening, No, because

1245
01:22:16,239 --> 01:22:20,520
the genre had basically kind of died, and that that was why these games

1246
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,720
were popular, because people were like, oh, these are finally like new

1247
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:26,840
good ones again. And I don't
know, I think I was still kind

1248
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:31,359
of hurt. It was still sad
about like basically it kind of it kind

1249
01:22:31,359 --> 01:22:35,560
of ended for me with Escape for
Monkey Island really was when I sort of

1250
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:42,680
felt like it was over. Clink
says Sonic O six. Of course they

1251
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,760
think they're very funny. Samkin says
Godhand, which is a game I do

1252
01:22:46,079 --> 01:22:47,920
like what I've played of it.
I haven't played a ton of it,

1253
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:54,079
though, but I do remember being
thinking it was very cool. Allan Miracle

1254
01:22:54,119 --> 01:22:57,039
says too. I say six had
so many fucking good games. Fresh out

1255
01:22:57,039 --> 01:23:00,520
of high school and obsessed with the
three titles that year. Shimmag me tense.

1256
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:05,199
Uh. Persona three had teens pointing
blikies to their head to summon the

1257
01:23:05,239 --> 01:23:09,520
demons from s MT three and dds. I thought that was so sick.

1258
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,680
There was also the appearance of My
now dead wife and Zeno Saga three,

1259
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,159
Space Jesus Low lastly and no shame. I played so so, so fucking

1260
01:23:16,239 --> 01:23:19,840
much of Mario Hoops three on three
on the DS. Game was so good.

1261
01:23:21,359 --> 01:23:25,960
Man, Okay, I think Persona
three's US release sate might be two

1262
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,800
thousand and seven, which is nuts
because it's PlayStation two. It is seven.

1263
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:34,920
Yes, yeah, it's really sure. It's really weird because they ramped

1264
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:39,760
up the localisation after that, so
we got Persona three, three Fests and

1265
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:44,960
Golden all within like eighteen months on
PS two. Not Golden you mean just

1266
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,680
four. Sorry, I was just
right for that's KMMA say you and make

1267
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:56,399
I'm sorry. It's easy, isn't
it easy to slip up there? Okay?

1268
01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,600
I believe you. Chaos punk a
Boo says the Burger King Games sneaking

1269
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:06,359
pocket bike racer, and what was
it A big big bumpin' yeah, big

1270
01:24:06,399 --> 01:24:12,960
bompin funk. That's what you do
with the bad Dragon. This was man,

1271
01:24:14,319 --> 01:24:16,439
he was sneaking with it. Please. The Xbox three sixty was just

1272
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:20,039
immediately fun was Oh yeah, they
were having a good time. Yes,

1273
01:24:23,319 --> 01:24:27,800
God, that was such a good
console through three sixties. Uh Boob says.

1274
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,239
Gears of Wars one of my one
of the defining shooters of the two

1275
01:24:30,279 --> 01:24:34,600
thousands. Matt Skaremunkey says, Company
of Heroes a truly revolutionary arts game that

1276
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,520
had amazing multiplayer. Played so much
of this. Yeah, people, the

1277
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,520
people I know who play who are
Company of Heroes. People are like,

1278
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,920
hey, I've I've got eight thousand
hours in Company of Heroes, So yeah,

1279
01:24:45,199 --> 01:24:48,600
I believe you. Doctor Lynch says
this is far from my favorite year

1280
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,439
in gaming. I think the best
game of the year is definitely Oblivion,

1281
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:56,119
but Gears of War was truly revolutionary, and the Ultimate edition shows just how

1282
01:24:56,119 --> 01:25:00,680
great it is today. Medieval to
Total War is one of my wife's favorite

1283
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:04,199
games that she still plays to this
day. Yeah, those Total War games.

1284
01:25:04,199 --> 01:25:08,880
Spurts and then Swinging him five as
well, Man Swin went up till

1285
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:13,840
five huh Yeah, I mean it
stopped there. That was the last one.

1286
01:25:14,079 --> 01:25:17,000
He caes it massively underrated. Yeah, I think most people do,

1287
01:25:17,039 --> 01:25:18,880
say it's good. A lot of
you felt the series by then. It

1288
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:23,479
kind of had a hard time keeping
up with the Joneses when once it went

1289
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:27,479
three D. But people say five
is good. Four people didn't look so

1290
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:31,479
I think it's why five had a
hard time finding an audience. In FA

1291
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,760
excuse me says two thousand and six
is a pretty weak year overall, despite

1292
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,319
the launch of two big consoles.
My favorite game of two thousand and six

1293
01:25:38,359 --> 01:25:41,600
is Gears of War. I played
so much of that game online and met

1294
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,239
people that I still play online with
till this day. Willow Davis's guitar Hero

1295
01:25:45,399 --> 01:25:49,840
two the Xbox three sixty four had
the Explorer controller that I is still the

1296
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:57,359
go to for some casual clone Hero
play he got Davis forty two says Oblivion

1297
01:25:57,359 --> 01:26:00,159
and Dead Rising. Vision forty nine
is the industry has caught up to protesta,

1298
01:26:00,239 --> 01:26:03,319
but back in the day there were
a few games like Oblivion, especially

1299
01:26:03,319 --> 01:26:08,479
on consoles. Also mentions Bullie.
What's that it was special back then?

1300
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:12,479
Oh yeah, very special, yep
It mentions Buwllie, Twilight Princess, Gears

1301
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,960
of War, and Dead Rising.
Casual. Also mentions Dead Rising Big Tony

1302
01:26:16,119 --> 01:26:18,319
says Persona three. It's a game, it's gonna come. We're gonna talk

1303
01:26:18,359 --> 01:26:24,319
about next time we have a year
list. Brian Rose says Persona three,

1304
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,520
Guitar Hero two, Pokemon, Diamond
and Pearl is that diamond bar? Also?

1305
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:33,279
Actually next year? That was first? Okay, Spooky Christian mentions Persona

1306
01:26:33,279 --> 01:26:42,680
three, Yeah, and six,
I'll forgive you. And then the Legion

1307
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,279
Fortune eight says Twilet Princess is my
game of the year. But the game

1308
01:26:45,319 --> 01:26:47,920
I probably played the most is Rainbow
six Vegas. Yeah, that's a good

1309
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:54,399
game. Uh interesting, Yeah it
is. I d Kevin says, uh,

1310
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,319
Electroplankton, while more of a toy
than the game, had a great

1311
01:26:57,399 --> 01:27:00,239
vibe and really resonated with me.
And then Team says Dead Rising the time

1312
01:27:00,279 --> 01:27:08,720
limit was good actually, And I
think Electroplankton in that luminous and res area

1313
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,159
for me where I'm like, yeah, people are just really excited about things

1314
01:27:11,199 --> 01:27:15,439
moving to a beat. Huh yeah. I couldn't get an Electroplankton too much

1315
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:17,399
either. Maybe that must be the
same thing there. Well, I like

1316
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:27,359
Medios. I like Medios's all right, do we need to add anything to

1317
01:27:27,399 --> 01:27:31,199
the list. Mike, I feel
really bad about Bully, I do too,

1318
01:27:31,399 --> 01:27:33,359
Yeah, and but it's like that's
how it's gonna go. Sometime when

1319
01:27:33,359 --> 01:27:38,079
we miss a game and we haven't
played it. I will say that coming

1320
01:27:38,119 --> 01:27:40,039
out of this year, the one
I want to play the most is Bully.

1321
01:27:40,399 --> 01:27:43,600
Yeah. Yeah, but Okay,
to reiterate what we do have,

1322
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,640
Leap Beat Agents happens to already be
up on the list, and then Kingdom

1323
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,720
Hearts two, we Sports Zelda,
Twilight Princess, Tetris, DS, Oblivion,

1324
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,840
Gears of War, Dead Rising,
Final, Fantasy twelve, and Guitar

1325
01:27:54,920 --> 01:28:00,560
Hero too. Like at this point
for me, I put Oblivion at number

1326
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:04,680
two, and then maybe I'm okay
with like Twilight Princess making the list,

1327
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,199
but I don't think I don't think
it doesn't. It doesn't have to,

1328
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:13,760
So I would be his number two. Yeah, okay, great, fantastic.

1329
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:15,000
I'd love to hear it, right, Yeah, Olivia's number two?

1330
01:28:15,119 --> 01:28:18,680
I agree? Great, Okay,
Well, then, uh, Kingdom Marts

1331
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,640
two, you want to put that
up there at three, I'm completely fine

1332
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:24,439
with that because honestly, for me, yeah, eb an't Oblivia list.

1333
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,119
So I know what's getting on the
list, like I know what's happening here.

1334
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,359
Oh yeah, but look how mad
nanimous I am. I let Dan

1335
01:28:30,399 --> 01:28:33,039
win? Let you win this?
Wow? Yeah you astuly having a good

1336
01:28:33,079 --> 01:28:38,520
day. All right, yeah absolutely
number three, let's go. I mean

1337
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,520
at this point, I'm like,
yeah, I'm fine, I'm good.

1338
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,520
Two thousand and six was a year
where I was like, what's going on

1339
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:45,479
with this? This is? This
is going to be anything? That's what

1340
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,000
I got four games on this thing, and I guess I'll play WE Sports

1341
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,239
a ton and uh so, yeah, I don't know I would put we

1342
01:28:51,279 --> 01:28:54,760
Sports up there, But at this
point now I'm looking at this list.

1343
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:56,520
Well, Jeff, I mean,
hey, if you want, if you

1344
01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:00,880
really feel that strong about we Sports, but well, I'm interested to hear

1345
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,479
what else you would put up there. I think Your's a war belongs up

1346
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:08,680
there where it was really good and
important. Cool, that works for me,

1347
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:13,600
that's yeah. And then like is
he twelve is definitely a favorite of

1348
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,720
mine. I'm not like super intense
about it. It has to be on

1349
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,239
there. Yeah, I just don't
know what else I put up I mean,

1350
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:25,039
I guess I really like Dead Rising
a lot, but no phone yeah,

1351
01:29:25,119 --> 01:29:27,560
yeah, but not that strong.
I just like it a lot.

1352
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:30,439
No, a bunch of good games. Is there anything but below guitarho two?

1353
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:32,800
Is this it? No? I
think that' said? Okay, yeah,

1354
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:36,199
I mean which one are you feeling? I mean again, let's just

1355
01:29:36,239 --> 01:29:40,520
do that. I'm I'm completely good
with that. Okay, thanks buddy.

1356
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:44,039
Wow, no no problem, Like
hey, e BA being number one,

1357
01:29:44,119 --> 01:29:45,479
that makes my night right there,
and we all agree on it, so

1358
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:47,520
what's the Yeah, there's no point, no reason to argue. This is

1359
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:50,840
fantastic. I'm completely fine with this. Also, Oblivion being number two,

1360
01:29:51,079 --> 01:29:55,720
that's right, that is the crust. I think that's absolutely right, Oblivion.

1361
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:58,800
Mike, Why do you go ahead
and read the list as we have

1362
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,840
it now for everybody best games of
two thousand and six games that release in

1363
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:06,880
the US two thousand and six number
one, Elite Beat Agents number two,

1364
01:30:08,239 --> 01:30:13,319
The Elder Scrolls four, Oblivion number
three, Kingdom Hearts two, number four,

1365
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:17,840
Gears of War number five, Final
Fantasy twelve. So, uh,

1366
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,800
man, I almost said this,
but you know, Leapid Agency is a

1367
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:25,199
Nintendo game. I was say,
wow, we don't have a Nintendo game.

1368
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,680
Not really. I know what you
mean, though, there's something that

1369
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,359
it's like kind of out of nowhere. It's a little different. All right,

1370
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,119
there's a big Betal game come out
next year. We'll probably be talking

1371
01:30:35,159 --> 01:30:40,920
about probably uh okay, uh you
know what, Mike, let's just hop

1372
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:45,680
into we got a few more superchats. Yeah, let me see. Hey

1373
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:48,560
what, let's do a small break. We're gonna take a small break.

1374
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:57,720
We'll be right back after this.
We're back. We're back, and we

1375
01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:59,920
we're gonna we're gonna do the super
chats. Let's hit those super chats.

1376
01:31:00,039 --> 01:31:01,600
I could go for it. Chuckson
nine says, let's go, Mike.

1377
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:05,239
Kinomortes two is still a very solid
game. Combat holds up very well.

1378
01:31:05,319 --> 01:31:10,199
Remember unlocking Final Form randomly for the
first time. Good stuff, Oh that

1379
01:31:10,319 --> 01:31:12,560
was great. I one hundred percent
that game. So I could see the

1380
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,119
secret ending even like we had YouTube, I think, but it was kind

1381
01:31:15,159 --> 01:31:17,840
of grainy and bad, so I
was like, no, I can't do

1382
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:21,680
that yet. I got to actually
play for another thirty hours and you know,

1383
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,960
get Pooh's Honey Hunt unlocked and beat
that and stuff. Oh, good

1384
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,000
times, Matt and Sampson. Was
a first super chat. Thank you so

1385
01:31:30,039 --> 01:31:33,239
much, Matt, says, Jeff. I appreciate you always digging deep into

1386
01:31:33,359 --> 01:31:38,800
the messed up ever changing financial corporate
world of gaming. It's a small business

1387
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:42,119
owner myself. Are there resources you
listen to or read to stay current on

1388
01:31:42,159 --> 01:31:45,279
what's going on? Yeah? Yeah, the big ones are gonna be uh

1389
01:31:45,359 --> 01:31:49,239
every morning I wake up and I
say, uh, okay, Google Play

1390
01:31:49,359 --> 01:31:54,439
Up first, and that's a really
good like news program that's gonna get you

1391
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:57,359
caught up every day, and it's
not gonna make you mad in too many

1392
01:31:57,359 --> 01:31:59,439
ways. It's gonna make you mad
with like some of the stories that are

1393
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:02,840
just like it's so frustrating, but
they're not going to ruin your day with

1394
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:05,840
like trying to get you upset to
so you stay engaged or something like that.

1395
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:12,880
And then I will listen to Marketplace
on NPR as well, and that's

1396
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:16,520
going to be your financial news.
And then Planet Money also on MPR.

1397
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,800
A lot of podcasts I find.
That's how I'm pretty good with that stuff.

1398
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:23,760
But these also have like Planet Money
has like a newsletter that's very good

1399
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,520
and as long as you kind of
are paying attention to the themes they always

1400
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:30,479
bring to like each episode, they're
like, hey, this is this matters.

1401
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:33,159
If you understand like why those things
matter, you're gonna come out of

1402
01:32:33,199 --> 01:32:36,640
it kind of understanding what's happening with
most decision making for most of these big

1403
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:41,720
businesses. So yeah, those are
those are what I use. Chris Quinton

1404
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:45,279
with another very generous a third very
generous supertend I think you again so much,

1405
01:32:45,319 --> 01:32:49,880
Chris says, I would say,
hide some sonic natures around Dan's house.

1406
01:32:50,159 --> 01:32:54,359
But this is the guy that almost
sent a fifty gallon drum a barbecue

1407
01:32:54,399 --> 01:32:58,279
sauce to someone's house. Is a
prank and I'm archangel. Mike Oh gave

1408
01:32:58,279 --> 01:33:00,760
out some subs on your streams that
one of the boys get taste. Thank

1409
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:05,439
you, I happened sending a ton
of yes what he is called gifted.

1410
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:09,600
I was, thank you, Chris. Thanks Chris, I really do appreciate

1411
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:13,560
it. Yeah, this is why
we're worried because, like Dan did say,

1412
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,000
he's like I told someone once that
if I send him a picture if

1413
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:17,640
they didn't hang up in their house, if I come to their house and

1414
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,479
it's not hanging up, I will
send them a bigger one. And he's

1415
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:24,479
like, I will eventually it would
be bigger than their house. And I

1416
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:29,279
know he would actually do that.
I know we would. Yep. Gotta

1417
01:33:29,319 --> 01:33:34,159
be very careful walking on eggshells,
walking on egg whites like you, Olari

1418
01:33:34,279 --> 01:33:39,239
says, folks, Jack's going to
in To Fortnite has weird proportions. I

1419
01:33:39,359 --> 01:33:43,359
bet. I mean because they has
the same proportions as every other character model,

1420
01:33:43,359 --> 01:33:46,960
but Jack's goington is supposed to have
long Yeah. Yeah. Do you

1421
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:51,000
want to hear what ruined my wife's
night tonight? Yes? Please. She's

1422
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:57,560
been checking home Depot this entire the
last couple of months waiting for the twelve

1423
01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:01,039
foot Jack Skellington to go on sale, and I'm like, just get it,

1424
01:34:01,079 --> 01:34:04,520
just buy it, just buy it, because you know she wants it,

1425
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,279
the kids really want it. And
then it went on sale earlier today

1426
01:34:08,319 --> 01:34:11,239
when she was busy, and by
the time she recognized and saw it,

1427
01:34:11,239 --> 01:34:14,880
it was sold out. So yeah, worl bummed out. I'm like,

1428
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:16,479
listen, they'll probably have it again
next year. They don't always, but

1429
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,760
they probably will have that one again
next year. Well we'll pick it up

1430
01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:24,199
then, so yeah, we'll see. Well, David says forget forgot smack

1431
01:34:24,239 --> 01:34:31,520

one with Ben Longe sure the area boy,

1432
01:34:32,239 --> 01:34:34,479
yep, absolutely, Hey, thanks
for all the super chats. Everybody,

1433
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:39,199
that was incredible, big showing tonight
from from the community, and well,

1434
01:34:39,319 --> 01:34:42,159
I always appreciate it because I talk
about the news in a lot of

1435
01:34:42,159 --> 01:34:44,640
places, so it's it's more interesting
to hear what you guys want to talk

1436
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:45,760
about, and the super chats are
the best way to do that. So

1437
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:48,560
we know you want to talk about
it and give us money. Yeah,

1438
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,159
yeah, exactly, and they're like, Okay, well then we'll definitely talk

1439
01:34:51,199 --> 01:34:55,840
about that. So very cool.
Shout outs to y'all. Right back at

1440
01:34:55,880 --> 01:35:00,159
you, Mikey. What have you
been playing? I've been. We're I'm

1441
01:35:00,159 --> 01:35:03,119
pretty hard catching up on Borderskate three. I'm i assume, pretty close to

1442
01:35:03,159 --> 01:35:06,239
the end. I've been. I've
done a lot in X three, pretty

1443
01:35:06,279 --> 01:35:11,800
much everything I can do. Really, there's a couple of things I'm curious

1444
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,920
about. A couple like, I
don't need to do every character's whole deal.

1445
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,520
I just went dude for the people
who I've actually been traveling with,

1446
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:21,119
but just the ones you've had sex
with multiple times, yes, exactly,

1447
01:35:21,159 --> 01:35:25,159
And a few of those seemed like
they haven't really gone to the next stage

1448
01:35:25,199 --> 01:35:28,039
yet, So I'm hoping that just
sort of happens or I'm not going to

1449
01:35:28,079 --> 01:35:30,840
miss something. But yeah, I'm
getting pretty I'm at the max level right

1450
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,439
twelve. Like once your twelve,
you don't level up anymore, so I

1451
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:38,079
can't actually get any stronger just by
leveling up, so you don't need to

1452
01:35:38,119 --> 01:35:41,960
go out and grind things or anything
like that. Yeah. Still been really

1453
01:35:42,039 --> 01:35:45,880
enjoying that. Been having a lot
of fun with just the smaller missions.

1454
01:35:45,039 --> 01:35:48,760
I was talking to you about how
there's a crooked newspaper that was going to

1455
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:53,479
print something mean about me, so
I had to break into their cellar and

1456
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:58,000
I found their printing press, which
was sent Chiant. It was talking to

1457
01:35:58,039 --> 01:36:00,279
me, so I made a bargain
with it, and it was just kind

1458
01:36:00,279 --> 01:36:04,359
of good fun stuff there. That
sounds like a great campaign for an RPG.

1459
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:08,880
It really is. It's so dense, and it reminds me of that

1460
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:11,680
Code Tour kind of thing, because
you know, I never played There's bar

1461
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,479
Boulters Gates, so of course it
reminds me of Code Tour, which was

1462
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:17,399
you know that's the same people.
Yeah, and also D and D rules,

1463
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:20,880
so yeah, right exactly. It's
just that's what I that's kind of

1464
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:24,600
what I'm really not tay. I
compared to Starfield again, but I do

1465
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,039
like the games that are dense.
They can still be plenty big, like

1466
01:36:28,159 --> 01:36:30,720
this is big even then like I'm
in a city. Is it the size

1467
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:34,279
of a city? No, but
it's big enough, and it's dense.

1468
01:36:34,359 --> 01:36:41,199
I like that every building probably has
some kind of quest line associated with it

1469
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:44,920
that feels just as special or important
as anything else. And I think,

1470
01:36:45,159 --> 01:36:49,000
I mean, you like it because
I think it's better. Being dense is

1471
01:36:49,079 --> 01:36:53,399
better, like compared it to like
what happens when you land on a plane

1472
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:57,000
in Starfield and you walk for five
minutes before you get to something interesting,

1473
01:36:57,399 --> 01:37:00,640
Like that's actually kind of bad and
it shouldn't work that way. That they

1474
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,000
should make that better. And the
way you make that better is just bring

1475
01:37:03,119 --> 01:37:08,960
in most of that interesting shit into
like every at the most every ninety seconds,

1476
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:13,680
I'm walking into something and interesting.
So yeah, I realized this is

1477
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:15,479
a completely different game than what they
made, But boy do I wish it

1478
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:19,560
was. Yeah, But but so
Systems, it's right, yes, and

1479
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:23,760
listen, I know there's other way, other things they could have done to

1480
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,600
make it better than but it is
a problem the way that that works in

1481
01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:29,920
Starfield. But again, we don't
always have to compare it, and I

1482
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:31,760
know people don't like that. I
know, I'm sorry. I can't help

1483
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:35,279
myself. Just yeah, I'm the
same. But yeah, palters k three,

1484
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:39,319
I uh really, I'm glad.
I kind of gott in the swing

1485
01:37:39,399 --> 01:37:41,960
of that when I did get my
vacation. I stuck with it, trying

1486
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:45,439
to get it working on my roger
ally because I do have a little bit

1487
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:46,600
of momentum with that where I'm like, I can get right back into that

1488
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:48,560
once I get some of the stuff
off my plate, and it is going

1489
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,600
to want to be It's gonna have
to be my November game, I think

1490
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:55,600
in a big way. So gonna
play it hard. Probably not gonna beat

1491
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:58,520
it, but I'll play a bunch
of it shadow hard and iron love.

1492
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:02,039
And I saw her nipples. Oh
do you marry her? It was talking

1493
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:06,079
really not some disgusting mod. Get
back in your home, listen. I

1494
01:38:06,199 --> 01:38:11,760
have a question. Actually I was
a taking questions, but okay, I

1495
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:14,359
had a little people that after playing
this game, they kind of want to

1496
01:38:14,399 --> 01:38:16,520
play actual D and D. Do
you have that, like, oh man,

1497
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,960
I kind of want to. Nah, let's work, somebody pays me

1498
01:38:20,039 --> 01:38:23,840
to. I really want to play
D and D. Yeah, if Giant

1499
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,680
Bomb and Jeff pay me to I'll
play D and D shirt Okay, well

1500
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:30,079
we'll figure something out. No,
it would be fun. But you would

1501
01:38:30,079 --> 01:38:32,000
be really good at D and D
is the thing. You would be a

1502
01:38:32,079 --> 01:38:35,319
really fun person to play with.
I would have fun with it. I

1503
01:38:35,399 --> 01:38:39,439
guess I couldn't do with the people
I actually know, which is what I

1504
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,680
associate D and D with. But
I know it doesn't actually have to work

1505
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,279
like that anymore. So yeah,
it'd be fun. I would do it

1506
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:48,840
absolutely. I've been playing Alick too. Uh, I'm still pretty early on,

1507
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:56,319
but I'll say that they's it's got
a real strong start. It's you

1508
01:38:56,600 --> 01:39:00,279
kind of immediately, you're kind of
in this weird situation, and I'm not

1509
01:39:00,399 --> 01:39:04,279
I'm gonna try to talk around spoilers
as much as possible. I will kind

1510
01:39:04,319 --> 01:39:06,880
of like talk a little bit about
one thing of like setting up a mystery,

1511
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:11,239
but it is the setup for a
mystery, and also it's going to

1512
01:39:11,279 --> 01:39:15,159
be it's pretty obvious if you know
what kind of games these are. So

1513
01:39:15,279 --> 01:39:18,159
yeah, you start start off in
this weird situation and it's me, which

1514
01:39:18,159 --> 01:39:25,199
is okay, this looks incredible.
The vibe is so spooky and and well,

1515
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:30,079
like it's capturing the spooky elements of
the Pacific Northwest while also just having

1516
01:39:30,119 --> 01:39:33,760
its own sort of signature look and
feel, and the game looks and plays

1517
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,239
great. And then you get to
the mind Place, which is her she

1518
01:39:36,359 --> 01:39:41,039
says, my version of the mind
Palace. It's her fable three pause menu.

1519
01:39:41,319 --> 01:39:43,760
Sure, her fable three pos menu, which she says that as well.

1520
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:51,800
And then you start like piecing together
the way that the the the mystery,

1521
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:55,920
Like you get evidence as you go
explore the world, and then those

1522
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,000
become like little notes. You take
them in your mind Place, and then

1523
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,199
it's up to you to like placed
the notes on the right question. And

1524
01:40:01,239 --> 01:40:06,119
then as you kind of complete the
question, you have a jump in logic.

1525
01:40:06,159 --> 01:40:09,960
You're like, okay, I have
now I have a conclusion, and

1526
01:40:10,079 --> 01:40:13,560
that can lead to new questions and
then you start the process over and over

1527
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:17,760
again, kind of like it is
nothing like Obradin because Obraden is you're doing

1528
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,119
all that work. Here the game
is mostly doing the work for you,

1529
01:40:20,279 --> 01:40:23,960
Like you do need to know where
to put it, but if you put

1530
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:25,960
in the wrong place, it's just
like try again, try again, try

1531
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:30,560
again. And there's only two questions, but so it's like they said it

1532
01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:31,399
during development, They're like, yeah, we wanted you to be able to

1533
01:40:31,399 --> 01:40:34,640
figure out yourself. We couldn't get
it to work. I would have liked

1534
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:38,359
them to have made a game like
that. They didn't make that game.

1535
01:40:38,399 --> 01:40:41,079
They made this game, and this
is still a very cool thing where it's

1536
01:40:41,079 --> 01:40:45,840
like you still feel a part of
solving the mystery, and it still establishes

1537
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:49,119
Saga as this really cool character who
is a detective who is capable of these

1538
01:40:49,199 --> 01:40:56,279
really cool logical leaps, and those
become like she does that when she's profiling

1539
01:40:56,319 --> 01:40:58,600
people too. This is a separate
thing that's happening in the mind place.

1540
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:01,399
You have your big wall of evidence, and then you have profiling. You

1541
01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:04,319
go over to think about a person, and then she sits there and thinks

1542
01:41:04,319 --> 01:41:08,279
about a person, puts them in
their perspective, and then she comes out

1543
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:12,119
like this person did this, and
they're very specific things. So she's got

1544
01:41:12,119 --> 01:41:15,560
almost supernatural abilities to like, oh, that person must have picked something up

1545
01:41:16,399 --> 01:41:19,439
from the crime scene and they're hiding
it and it's like I didn't get that,

1546
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,079
but no, she knows it because
she's just that good. And then

1547
01:41:23,119 --> 01:41:26,079
you so now you can go back
out of your mind place ask that person

1548
01:41:26,159 --> 01:41:30,079
that question, and I'm like,
all that stuff is bringing me in,

1549
01:41:30,359 --> 01:41:32,720
it's reeling me in. And then
you like you turn around from like that

1550
01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:35,800
interview, the thing in the in
the diner, and then suddenly you're talking

1551
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:41,439
to this this crazy blond lady who's
just who's just like, hey, I

1552
01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:43,960
haven't seen you forever, and so
IGA's like, I don't know you,

1553
01:41:44,239 --> 01:41:47,439
and then she starts crazy blond lady
from Alan Wake one. I don't know.

1554
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:49,960
I haven't played Allen Wake one,
but I'll tell you what. She

1555
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:54,439
seems to know you, and she
seems to know stuff about your family,

1556
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:58,319
and she suggests some things about your
family that you're like, oh wait,

1557
01:41:58,399 --> 01:42:00,239
what's really going on here? That's
really going on here? And I'm like

1558
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:04,520
that is the kind of thing where
I'm like, hey, I really want

1559
01:42:04,560 --> 01:42:06,920
to know. I want to see
what's happening. I want to see how

1560
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:11,279
they staying. And it's like very
Twin Peaks. It's a million percent Twin

1561
01:42:11,319 --> 01:42:14,880
Peaks. It's a million percent like
just the Yeah, they watched a bunch

1562
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,560
of those shows, and the game
is not trying to hide it. They

1563
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:20,600
got fucking Sam Lake literally just drinking
his black coffee in the car right next

1564
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:24,600
to the lady who's also drinking her
black coffee. They're making homages to that.

1565
01:42:25,119 --> 01:42:27,600
But it's one thing to just be
like inspired by it. It's another

1566
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,800
thing to like really capture that magic. And it really feels like they're doing

1567
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:34,119
that here. And then you get
some like scary bits where you are doing

1568
01:42:34,159 --> 01:42:36,920
some stuff with a dead body and
of course things happen, and it's like,

1569
01:42:38,079 --> 01:42:43,479
this is pretty spooky, and the
character model is so detailed that it

1570
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:47,079
is that makes it even more scary, more terrifying. So yeah, I'm

1571
01:42:47,199 --> 01:42:50,520
just I'm into everything that they're putting
down here. And I personally have not

1572
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:55,520
even gotten to the Alan Wake portions
yet, so I think that's probably happening

1573
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:59,359
for me pretty soon. But Jane
says he's played about fifteen hours and he's

1574
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:01,000
just loving it. He's eating it
up, and so yeah, I'm looking

1575
01:43:01,039 --> 01:43:05,199
forward to really playing through this game. Like how much would you compare it

1576
01:43:05,239 --> 01:43:10,279
to something like Resident Able to Remake
or you know those Resident Evil games.

1577
01:43:11,359 --> 01:43:14,760
Yeah, you know, it's it's
it's in the zone, but it's not

1578
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,520
doing what those games do. Really, It's it's not its own thing.

1579
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:19,880
It feels like its own thing,
you know, as much as those are

1580
01:43:20,039 --> 01:43:25,560
like the Marquee survival horror games.
Obviously, Resident Before is more of an

1581
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,119
actual game. Resiine Evil two is
also more of an action game than this

1582
01:43:28,239 --> 01:43:30,760
a little bit, at least as
far as as much as I've played so

1583
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:35,640
far. There's action elements here,
and you're going to be struggling for Ammo

1584
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:39,560
and stuff like that. Those hallmarks
are going to be here. Uh but

1585
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:42,439
yeah, it's it's kind of trying
to establish its own vibe and its own

1586
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:46,800
thing. All right, sounds good, Okay, I'm excited to start this.

1587
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:53,199
Absolutely will probably be doing that tomorrow. Mike. They're senior. Mike's

1588
01:43:53,199 --> 01:43:56,920
talk Mike is is cutting out.
I tried talking louder. I don't know

1589
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,359
if that they're flat by this,
Howard. That's why I guess I think

1590
01:44:00,359 --> 01:44:03,039
so it's a me problems what you're
saying. I think you're like going like

1591
01:44:03,239 --> 01:44:11,119
it's louching a little bit, and
they'll using your boys, using the diaphragms.

1592
01:44:11,199 --> 01:44:14,119
Tiring. All right, mikey Uh, let's get out of here.

1593
01:44:14,159 --> 01:44:15,960
I'm gonna hit the button. I
feel bad we didn't talk about Spider Man.

1594
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:18,560
Two at all. Let's talk about
Spider Man two. It's fine.

1595
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,079
I just beat it like a week
and a half ago. You that's like

1596
01:44:21,119 --> 01:44:25,720
old news. Yeah, Hey,
that Spider Man two fucking rules. It's

1597
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,199
very very good. I like it
a lot. It might be like the

1598
01:44:29,319 --> 01:44:32,359
best open world in terms of the
actual open world. Uh, of course

1599
01:44:32,399 --> 01:44:34,800
it is. It was that world
was already good in the Learned two games,

1600
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:40,439
but having just that those, it's
better. My kid was playing Miles

1601
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:43,600
Morles Stave because for some reason that's
the one she wants to play, and

1602
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:45,439
I was had to help her or
something. I'm like, oh, the

1603
01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:47,359
city this looks. This does look
a little bit like a PS four game

1604
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:51,520
compared to what I was just playing
in the new game in terms of just

1605
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:55,319
like the way it looks, and
then how alive it is, and then

1606
01:44:55,359 --> 01:44:58,720
you're right the outer boroughs. It's
it's a really good open world, and

1607
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:01,560
that New York City is so cool. It's just awesome to spend time with

1608
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:04,720
it. Uh. But yeah,
I mean I would love to be playing

1609
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:08,239
more Spider Man two. I would
love to be I would love to get

1610
01:45:08,279 --> 01:45:10,479
the platinum. That doesn't seem that
hard. I'm pretty close to it.

1611
01:45:11,119 --> 01:45:13,159
But even beyond that, I'm like, I just want to keep playing it.

1612
01:45:13,199 --> 01:45:15,640
In general, I would love to
be one of those people who streams

1613
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:18,960
Spider Man two on TikTok to music
and stuff and just moving Spider Man throughout

1614
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:23,640
the world and having a thousand people
watch you or whatever. That's that's my

1615
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:27,000
life and that's what I want it
to be. Uh uh uh yeah.

1616
01:45:27,119 --> 01:45:30,359
So how far into it are you? Are? You like, I I

1617
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:35,000
haven't met that yet. Okay,
all right, so you you'll get it

1618
01:45:35,079 --> 01:45:39,600
all and it's it's it's it goes
pretty quick once you get the Black Stuite.

1619
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:41,880
That's when the game's like, okay, we are just going to barrow

1620
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:45,079
through this story. Now. They
take their time setting everything up, but

1621
01:45:45,159 --> 01:45:47,000
I like the way that the story
pasts itself out. I had no complaints

1622
01:45:47,079 --> 01:45:51,359
there, I think, uh just
overall, it was all just little nitpicks,

1623
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,760
And at this point, looking back
at it, I'm not thinking about

1624
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:56,800
any of those. I'm just thinking
about how much fun it is to move

1625
01:45:56,840 --> 01:46:00,800
those those characters around that world is
so fun. It feels so good,

1626
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:04,960
even like that wingsuit really is just
the solution to make going around these areas

1627
01:46:05,039 --> 01:46:09,560
that don't have quite as many tall
buildings even feel incredible. It's funny that

1628
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:12,600
the game with the greatest fast travel
system ever is the game where I don't

1629
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,079
want to use fast travel. I
never I honestly did not use it once

1630
01:46:15,199 --> 01:46:18,199
until after I beat the game,
and then I was like, I just

1631
01:46:18,239 --> 01:46:20,800
I guess I'll just see it because
it looks so people are showing it off

1632
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,319
and it looks so cool. I'm
like, yeah, that's great cool.

1633
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:26,159
And then I'm like, I don't. I just like flying around in this

1634
01:46:26,199 --> 01:46:29,960
game, so I'm just going to
do that for sure. Yeah, I'm

1635
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:32,920
sure. Oh the the technical stuff, have you encountered any bugs? People

1636
01:46:33,159 --> 01:46:35,680
would kind of become a little bit
more of a story, I mean a

1637
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:43,920
little. I definitely have nothing crazy, nothing crazy, Yeah, nothing,

1638
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:46,880
nothing got trosis, nothing where I'm
thinking about that and I am like,

1639
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,159
oh, that ruined my game.
I had a crash. I think once

1640
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:53,720
wasn't a big issue. Just loaded
to save. I'd maybe a character t

1641
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:57,159
pose or something similar to that one. Yeah, I think so, I

1642
01:46:57,199 --> 01:47:00,960
think I had a t pose.
I think I had a handful of audio

1643
01:47:00,079 --> 01:47:02,520
bugs. Those were the ones that
happen most freckling to me, And I'm

1644
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:06,359
like Okay, yeah, that's that's
a bummer, but it's not for me.

1645
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,479
It's just not the end of the
world. It does not ruin the

1646
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:12,359
experience for me at all. And
next cut scene was just fine. So

1647
01:47:13,159 --> 01:47:16,600
yeah, okay, Yeah, we're
gonna have a lot to talk about Spider

1648
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:18,399
Man two when it gets to the
game of the year time, for sure,

1649
01:47:18,399 --> 01:47:23,399
because it's in the conversation for me, in that top ten range for

1650
01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:26,960
sure, top ten, maybe even
top five for me. You know,

1651
01:47:27,119 --> 01:47:30,359
we gotta start putting together list of
stuff for various things. It's like I

1652
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:34,119
it probably probably does make my top
six. I would say probably does.

1653
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:38,960
Well. Okay, Mike, Yeah, now I'm hitting the button. Why

1654
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:41,600
don't you tell people where they can
find you on the internet. Yeah,

1655
01:47:42,319 --> 01:47:48,000
Tolkoto at all the places. Check
out the new Blake Club, Grub to

1656
01:47:48,199 --> 01:47:51,880
Hell Jeff Tribution. Is that correct? Yes? Right, I think you

1657
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:56,119
went with Ride to Grub Jeff Tripps. I took Grub Jeff Tribution. Of

1658
01:47:56,239 --> 01:48:00,640
course, I'm just gonna call Grub
to the bone. Yeah, of course,

1659
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:03,960
just playing a bad motorcycle game.
It's funny. Yeah. But then

1660
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:08,399
we also did the Super Mario Wonder
Grand Prix today, which was a really

1661
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:11,720
good time. That game's racing mote
is a lot of fun. We'll talk

1662
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,920
some more about Mario Wonder on Tuesday. Last night Sidas, I'm not gonna

1663
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:16,720

is going to start a week today,

1664
01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:20,079

01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:34,439

for you. I Yeah, I'm on

1671
01:48:44,159 --> 01:48:48,039
Giant bomb. Those that ride to
Grubb. Jeff Tribution was actually a lot

1672
01:48:48,079 --> 01:48:50,479
of fun. You should check it
out if you haven't watched it. It's

1673
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:53,840
a good time. I showed it
to Step Well. Actual stuff just loaded

1674
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,239
upcause obviously did all that work.
She wanted to see the fruits of her

1675
01:48:56,279 --> 01:49:00,319
labor, right, And that scene, that moment where I try to roll

1676
01:49:00,399 --> 01:49:05,079
underneath the truck on my side and
then it loads and then it blows up.

1677
01:49:05,239 --> 01:49:10,119
She was dying, laughing and so
hard. That was the funniest moment.

1678
01:49:10,199 --> 01:49:12,840
It was incredible. It was incredible. And in the sex, the

1679
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,039
sex scenes, she thought those were
very funny as well. And then like

1680
01:49:15,079 --> 01:49:16,640
the second girl shows up, she's
like, well, I know where this

1681
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:19,760
is going. Like, yeah,
you're right, you got it. So

1682
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:23,319
she's having a good time watching that. If she's enjoying it, you all

1683
01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:30,119
definitely will. All right, anything
else? Yeah, tomorrow, I think

1684

online multiplayer one. So look forward to

1686
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:41,239
that. That'll be fun, kind
of a little bit of Halloween spooky stuff.

1687
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:44,199
I might try to find time to

the hell is that? Fire fire Mumgauge

1694
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:47,079

take a look here, let's come back

1699
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:15,159
and then super Jets, gotcha,
super Chets, let's do this all right,

1700
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:20,199
let me get this going. It's
streaming too. By the way,

1701
01:51:20,399 --> 01:51:26,960
uh to me exclusive for the Post
podcast crew. The fun fact about the

1702
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:30,239
Game Awards is that it was five
nominations up until twenty eighteen, where they

1703
01:51:30,239 --> 01:51:33,800
expanded it to six. And I
don't know, not the first year where

1704
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:36,199
you went solo? When did he
go solo? No, it was before

1705
01:51:36,279 --> 01:51:41,760
that. It was just before that
was like twenty fourteen your games. I

1706
01:51:42,119 --> 01:51:45,319
went to the first one, so
it was like, I like the first

1707
01:51:45,359 --> 01:51:47,680
one where he was solo in Las
Vegas, and I'm like, did I

1708
01:51:47,720 --> 01:51:51,399
go that long ago? I guess
it is, but if you think about

1709
01:51:51,399 --> 01:51:54,680
it, I don't know for a
fact why they expanded. But you think

1710
01:51:54,720 --> 01:52:00,279
about maybe it's because twenty seventeen happened
in gaming and they were like, yeah,

1711
01:52:00,079 --> 01:52:02,319
givens a lot here, you know
what, Here we go, here

1712
01:52:02,359 --> 01:52:12,399
we go, all right, at
Jeff Keeley, can we have ten games

1713
01:52:14,159 --> 01:52:18,800
nominated Game of the Year. I
think the beans are good? Do you

1714
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:24,199
like beans? I like mean,
I like means? Do you think there

1715
01:52:24,239 --> 01:52:28,680
were a him that he said he
thought they were kind of p like,

1716
01:52:30,199 --> 01:52:31,439
No, I heard the explanation.
I just think it's a bad one.

1717
01:52:32,039 --> 01:52:36,880
Okay. I didn't say it was
smart, you know it fair, very

1718
01:52:38,079 --> 01:52:43,359
very fair. Al Right. I
am almost ready over here. Just got

1719
01:52:43,399 --> 01:52:46,880
to get this framed up proper.
If this turn that on, it's just

1720
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:56,000
going to work. It is just
going to work you for thirteen minutes into

1721
01:52:56,399 --> 01:53:01,439
way too schol all right. I
like this countdown on epy game story that

1722
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:05,119
tells you exactly when the game is
gonna be on the onike fucking Steam that

1723
01:53:05,560 --> 01:53:10,680
Steam does like like does like a
fake countdown, and sometimes the countdown's over

1724
01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:16,079
and nothing happens. Okay, let's
get back into it. You ready,

1725
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:23,159
mm hmm, yes, sir,
the bathroom can drink, no problem,

1726
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:28,760
all right, let's turn off the
game. Let's get the Mikey back.

1727
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:42,840
M hmm, there's Mikey and then
let's do this. What the hell?

1728
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:48,640
Yeah? Oh wow, I can
tell if it was the actual song or

1729
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:54,600
it was an episode of Super Beer
Brothers. It is Maverick Rising five oh

1730
01:53:54,680 --> 01:54:03,720
three, Braven Storm Chill Penguin by
Frederick strike On. All right, mm

1731
01:54:05,119 --> 01:54:11,000
scroll over here my little thing.
I did do that, and they do

1732
01:54:11,159 --> 01:54:15,479
that other thing. Oh? Yes, Corn did the song for Hayes.

1733
01:54:15,319 --> 01:54:20,680
Yes, people were mentioning that Jonathan
Davis. Wow, some corner concert,

1734
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:25,960
like four or five times. Yeah, that's when I went to high school.

1735
01:54:26,079 --> 01:54:30,119
What I never saw Corn? Why? Because I was a Corn fan

1736
01:54:30,199 --> 01:54:34,000
in high school? It was You've
always had bad taste. Well listen,

1737
01:54:34,079 --> 01:54:38,680
it was really bad back then,
especially bad back then. I have no

1738
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:41,479
hatred towards Corn. I just don't. I'm not a fan anymore. I

1739
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:47,399
don't know one single son of Corn
freak on a leash. Anyone knows that

1740
01:54:49,000 --> 01:55:01,439
maybe if I hear it, I
like, okay, wasn't I didn't realize

1741
01:55:01,479 --> 01:55:06,920
that when I when I wagered all
my points in Mario today, that people

1742
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:12,359
would would act like I lost instead
of just recognizing that really I won.

1743
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,800
Oh no, you lost, dude, you but here here we are.

1744
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:17,800
Yes, and now if I've lost, and now I have to deal with

1745
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:20,960
those circuit those those the ramifications of
my choices. I don't like that.

1746
01:55:21,399 --> 01:55:28,319
Correct. Yes, let the record
show that Dan Reichert won the first whether

1747
01:55:28,359 --> 01:55:30,600
he won or not, so it
might as well just let him win.

1748
01:55:31,439 --> 01:55:38,479
And boy did you? I can't
believe I forgot that that level is faster

1749
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:42,399
with the wonder seat. Actually,
that's the thing I need to remind you.

1750
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:45,359
That was the first one where you
beat him by point oh one?

1751
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:50,199
So you did okay, Oh I
didn't know? Okay, wow, all

1752
01:55:50,279 --> 01:55:57,600
right, geez. And he corrected
his mistakes and then brought back man terrible

1753
01:55:57,680 --> 01:56:00,800
think it happened. Uh yeah,
it's right here. I'm gonna just adjust

1754
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:08,399
it a little bit. We actually
make this page taller. There we go

1755
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:13,680
