1 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,359 It's the Internet. You're busy, let's do this. Welcome to the Game 2 00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:33,000 Mesticides podcast. This is the podcast where we decide everything about the world of 3 00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:36,479 video games so you never had to think for yourself. I'm your host Jeff 4 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:42,079 Grubb and with me is Mike Minati. In today's episode, some tough stuff 5 00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,359 with dead Space too, I'm sorry, and who would run a better nineties 6 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,399 arcade? Me or Mike. We'll get to all of that eventually. There's 7 00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:51,240 also some updates on some other stuff. We'll get to that later in the 8 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,399 episode. Meantime, Mike, how are you doing. Yeah, I'm doing 9 00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,600 good and real busy today basically been going NonStop. That's all right. They 10 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,600 like that once in a while. It is not the worst thing in the 11 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,719 world, so being productive. I guess, how about you, Yeah, 12 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,640 exact same. I didn't sleep well last night. I didn't get to sleep 13 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:11,480 until real late, and then had to wake up early to take the kids 14 00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:14,959 to school, and then it's been NonStop ever since. I'm like, I 15 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,079 always like it when we can fill especially the Giant Bomb day, with like 16 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,359 a lot of fun stuff. So you know, we did you know, 17 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,359 we did stuff at Discord Town Hall and we did hell Divers too, and 18 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,480 I was today the Discord town Hall will happened. Discordtown Hall happened. Don't 19 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,920 worry. They asked plenty of questions about you, Mike, don't I missed 20 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,200 it all. It was a juicy lots of juice for fun, Nike. 21 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,519 Do you guys post that later? I want to listen to that. Yeah, 22 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,640 we'll post it. Yeah. But then it was like, oh man, 23 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,159 I got to get stuff ready for UPF tomorrow, so I'm still working 24 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,760 on that, and it's trash day and I got to give the kids a 25 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,239 bath, and then I was supposed to be on someone else's podcast and I 26 00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,879 did that for like an hour early here tonight at seven pm, and the 27 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,599 Red Wings are playing, so it's like it's non stop over here as well. 28 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,719 But you're right, it's mostly the good kind of NonStop. It's good 29 00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:59,239 to be this kind of busy. So no real complaints, although I'm looking 30 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,200 forward to like just kind of sitting and staring at some point in my future. 31 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,000 But yeah, yeah, how are things otherwise, Mike, It's fine. 32 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360 We had a really nice day a couple of days ago. I went 33 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,080 on a walk and I felt really good and it's been kind of rainy and 34 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,759 shitty since then, and you know, I don't mind a little ray, 35 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,840 but it's been great for a while. Now I'm just I don't know, 36 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,960 I'm really ready for summer. I think I'm ready for some warm weather and 37 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,479 to really be outside, really be grilling, doing all that stuff. I've 38 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,360 never been a big spring person. Spring is such a wishy, washy season. 39 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:35,240 It's it's weird because I love fall. That transition season is great to 40 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,639 me, and Spring is just trashed here for whatever reason. Fair enough, 41 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,280 but let's talk about what really matters. What's your favorite OJ movie? I 42 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,080 guess I guess Naked Gun? Yeah, Mike too? Yeah? Yeah? 43 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,159 Are there more seeing anything else but those? He's definitely in other stuff? 44 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:02,199 But really for sure, well was he an anything after the trial? Cause 45 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,960 that be incredible. Oh, I'm sure he was in some like European funded 46 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,039 film, like yeah, some Roman Polanski movie. Who knows, Yeah, 47 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,919 that's that guy died. Weird that was that one was not Blake Club or 48 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,680 to Light Club's fault, not at all. Now that one this to do 49 00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:27,439 list, like, oh shit, I left that guy alive. Oh man, 50 00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:30,639 I messed up lifting? Now, so are we saying from now on 51 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,680 on Blake Club. Whenever you do Blight Club, nobody No, I think 52 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,520 I think this is completely outside of that purview. I think the Blake Club 53 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:45,400 curse is for dignitaries and people a certain stature. So I don't think we've 54 00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:49,360 escaped that quite yes yet, So we'll see, all right. You can 55 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,840 get more from me by joining us at the discord.

That's up. That's patreon dot com slash game Mess. Like 70 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,839 I was thinking to I, like my little thing at the top, I 71 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:48,800 just get's a nice way for me to get in the mood of like Santa, 72 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:50,959 it's the Internet, You're busy, let's do this, and I you 73 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,920 don't, I know, you don't care about it. But I think I'm 74 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,920 at a point where I'm like, I started saying that because like, people 75 00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:00,079 just want to get into something right away. They don't like meandering. And 76 00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:05,560 then I saw a video on YouTube that was thirty eight hours long recapping every 77 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,879 episode of Beverly Hillbillies, And I'm like, maybe do people actually want to 78 00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:14,120 get into something to get out? Maybe that's not true anymore. Maybe I 79 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,040 was wrong all along. I don't know. Hey, look, Jeff, 80 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,480 you know what you gotta do. That's not what I get it on makes 81 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,720 you feel most comfortable. But what is the longest YouTube video you've ever watched? 82 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,800 Oh, there's some pretty long ones, like like part of the meta 83 00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:35,399 now is all the YouTubers will make compilation videos that are like three hours long, 84 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,480 like Sean Seanson has done some long ones on PS one games where it's 85 00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:45,439 like, here's I'm going to talk about every single Namco game for the PS 86 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:47,360 one, right, And I kind of do love that shit because I am 87 00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:50,720 somebody who like, I'll go in bed and I'll and this isn't the healthiest 88 00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:54,079 thing. I was in that bed for like a few hours at night, 89 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:57,480 playing stuff on my switch or like fiddling around on my phone before I will 90 00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:00,959 actually fall asleep. So I like having, like to me, just having 91 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,480 one video on instead of like having to like and I have to think about 92 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,519 something else to watch because this twenty minute video. I actually had a point 93 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,000 where I kind of like ten minute videos. I'm like, yeah, I 94 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,040 don't think that's worth my time. I don't think I'm gonna click that, 95 00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:16,720 which is funny because wasn't there a time when videos had to be like ten 96 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,560 minutes or shorter. Ten minutes was the maximum length on YouTube for a very 97 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,839 long time. Yeah yeah, and I'm like, nah, I'm not wasting 98 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,560 my time on that. Yeah, that is the I mean, I've watched 99 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,680 a lot of like deffinitely video essays that are four hours long. I mean 100 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,720 I watch them in chunks most of the time because I don't have uninterrupted time 101 00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:39,279 like that. But yeah, I know what you mean. All right, 102 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:41,839 let's actually get into it. Just a couple of things I want to talk 103 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:44,560 with you about this week, Mike. That dead Space two thing happened, 104 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,759 and boy that was weird. That was weird. How that wait down? 105 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,160 Yeah, why don't you recap that for maybe the people who don't know aren't 106 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,800 following what's going on when you were talking about this on Giant Bomb. It's 107 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,360 an interesting saga. Yeah, so dead Space two is not happening. That's 108 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,160 like the big story. That's the big takeaway here. And it was like 109 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,279 some one of those things when the studio that was working on dead Space one 110 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,560 remaster remake that did that he a motive. They are now officially making that 111 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,920 Iron Man game still, but now they're also part of the many teams that 112 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,600 are working on Battlefield. That was like the new announcement there. Of course, 113 00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:25,240 everyone's looking at like this probably means we're not getting another Dead Space And 114 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,279 I asked around a little bit. It's like, yeah, we're not getting 115 00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,120 another dead space. This is something that they looked into. They did some 116 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,759 got them like afraid of how to phrase it now, because whoeveryth canna happen. 117 00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:36,759 But they looked into that and that they there were definitely people doing that 118 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,040 work of looking into it, and they put that on the shelf. They're 119 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,240 not doing it anymore. And then, of course, so like someone goes 120 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:46,040 to the AA, like Jeff crub says, you cancel it so they can 121 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:49,759 work on battlefield, and he's like, well, that's not right. There's 122 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:54,560 no validity to that story. And then of course, like more reporting comes 123 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,439 out, Jason Trey does his piece and it's basically like, yeah, it's 124 00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:01,959 exactly what Grubbs said, even though it's like, oh no, it's that 125 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,040 the rumor isn't true. I'm like, what what rumor do you think it 126 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,279 is? I'm so confused here, But whatever, it was very odd and 127 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,040 at this point I'm like, Okay, that just kind of got messy. 128 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,920 I bet ea regrets commenting in the first place, because they just blew it 129 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040 up and made it even bigger. And at the end of the day, 130 00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,920 everyone still recognizes we're not getting dead space two, they're not making that and 131 00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:26,160 it's not really under consideration anymore, right, I mean that was the funny 132 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,639 thing was like the first thing coming out and you know, like, look, 133 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,600 I'm you know, I gotta defend my boy a little bit here. 134 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,399 And this isn't me going out trying to beef with any other journalist. God 135 00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:41,000 please know, everyone's just doing their job and nobody did anything wrong there. 136 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,039 But you know, like the IGN story, it's like, you know, 137 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,120 EA says this isn't true, and you know, corn to our own reporting 138 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,120 or whatever, like a dead Space two was never even considered and it's like 139 00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:56,000 what that that can't be right, I mean, what do we mean by 140 00:08:56,159 --> 00:09:01,120 considered? Where like the ending of dead Space and has like the sequel bait 141 00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,799 and also had like the sequel bait that was kind of clearly, hey, 142 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,799 it's not maybe not gonna be that dead Space too exactly, yes, And 143 00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:07,879 then that was kind of like you know, the thing with what that was, 144 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:11,480 like the one thing with the Shrider thing was like, well, actually 145 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,080 it wasn't really going to be a remake of two, but like a new 146 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,919 game, and it's like everyone knows that, yes, everyone knows that. 147 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,519 Like that that was always part of what was happening with that space because they 148 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:26,200 were like, hey, we can reconfigure that universe and do something new going 149 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,279 forward from this new baseline. So yeah, it was weird. I mean 150 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,399 that you came out everything you said was true, when people I don't know 151 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,879 got mad and exactly real. Again, it's like the semantics like, well, 152 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,879 what what is really pre production or what is being considered? It's like, 153 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:45,080 look, you can figure that out. I'm sure EA has their own 154 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,440 idea of what that means to them. It's like, we're a tech game 155 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,120 never even really existed. We didn't cancel anything, and Jeff never said I 156 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,559 don't think you said the word cancel. I think you said shelved. Yeah, 157 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:58,039 yeah, if I did, it was definitely just like in a colloquial 158 00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:03,799 terms, but yeah, it was never green lighted. Sure, but they 159 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,159 had discussions about it, and it was like what it was the conquest they 160 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:09,480 did? Yes, of course they did, like that, wouldn't you do? 161 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,440 Of course? Would? It would be insane if they didn't, like 162 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,200 that would be really this industry doesn't think about sequels very often. Jael, 163 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,240 Right, that's that's a rare, rare occurrence these days. I guess. 164 00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:22,720 Really the THEND, the question is, Mike, how are you feeling about 165 00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:28,080 EA's strategy overall? I mean, I don't think it's great that a team 166 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,519 that could have been doing something fun with more dead Space or anything else is 167 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:37,279 now also working on Battlefield, a franchise that just does not get my hackles 168 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,679 up in any real way. Yeah, I mean, right that space is 169 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:45,879 this really interesting, uh cool franchise. Uh? And instead of working on 170 00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,840 that in the last Desperacer was fantastic, they are now being thrown at the 171 00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:54,519 Superhero machine or being thrown at the Battlefield machine. And man with Battlefield in 172 00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:58,080 this industry the way it is, you have like kind of the one bad 173 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,919 release. It's hard to get back from that. Last two Battlefields have struggled 174 00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:07,440 now, right, Yes, when is the wait? I'm almost shocked that 175 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:09,159 the thing with Batford is like, well, maybe we should do something smaller 176 00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:13,159 and really go back to basics with Battlefield, and instead it's just seems to 177 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,440 be more throw as many resources at this thing as possible. If we just 178 00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:22,759 keep throwing money at it, maybe someday, somehow it'll be our call of 179 00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,240 duty or as close to it as we're going to get. And maybe, 180 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:31,039 But I just don't know how you really get people excited about Battlefield again when 181 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,639 I mean, honestly, like the word association with Battlefield lately has been failure. 182 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,159 I mean, Battlefield one was the last Battlefield people felt good about. 183 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,960 That was a long time ago, right, And since then we got Battlefield 184 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:48,120 five and then twenty forty two, Right, that's what happened. Yeah, 185 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:50,039 okay five, and both of those just did not really hit very well. 186 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,519 Yeah. I just it's such a tough path forward for Battlefield to not like 187 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:00,759 matter again, it can matter to a lot of people, but to be 188 00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:05,159 able to play with the biggest other games in that space. And I just 189 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,200 don't see how do you twist this franchise that is this one thing, these 190 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,919 big premium price games that come out every couple of years into this ongoing live 191 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,080 service thing that can have content that's as interesting as anything that's happening then Fortnite 192 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,639 or something else. Like, Yeah, there's gonna be people who want to 193 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:26,399 play a military shooter that has that vibe, but they're at a point where 194 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,519 it's like, yeah, but like call Duty, Warzone is free, and 195 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,399 I know what to expect from that. I'm sure it's got some wackiness to 196 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,440 it. But I know it's going to be fun, and I know it's 197 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,879 going to be there, and I know it's going to be reliable. It's 198 00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,279 actually pretty hard to compete with reliable these days. It feels like, so 199 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,720 I mean, good luck to them. I just I'm bummed that we continually 200 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,039 end up like we sort of circle around, and it feels like the circles 201 00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:52,120 get smaller and smaller each time, where it's like, Okay, everyone's got 202 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:54,399 to go make the biggest games. Everyone that works for us is working on 203 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,639 the biggest games. It's like, okay, you know what, let's step 204 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,279 back, Let's do more single player games. Let's let's make a new initiative 205 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,200 to like really push on that stuff, try to diversify our portfolio. Oh 206 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,360 god, the numbers weren't astronomical. Circle back, retreat, retreat, back 207 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,080 to that old strategy and feel. You know, we definitely had like with 208 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,200 the time of like Merror's Edge and the games at that time from that interesting 209 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,120 period original dead Space, the original dead Space, right, It's like there 210 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,000 were big attempts then and then they started retreated and well both yeah, and 211 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,519 it was annoying with Beer's Edge because it was good, people liked it, 212 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,879 it wasn't this giant sales hit, so they waited just a little bit too 213 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,399 long, and then when they did make a new one, it was a 214 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:35,679 reboots and not a sequel really, and it was just confusing about what that 215 00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,600 got salty about Beer's zge because Beers was one of my favorite games. It's 216 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,759 so good. Yeah, So, I mean, I don't know. I 217 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,440 think EA is in the same position as all these companies where we just like 218 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,120 look at them, like what is this strategy, And it's a risk adverse 219 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,399 strategy that is trying to find growth in an industry where growth is not just 220 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,519 like hiding around the corner waiting for them. It is something that they are 221 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,639 going to have to gat. It's like you know the concept of peak oil, 222 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,879 right, it takes one barrel of oil to get a barrel oil out 223 00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:07,399 of the ground, so it's not worth it anymore. We're kind of at 224 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,919 peak gaming now where these companies, at least for Triple A publishers and console 225 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:18,159 manufacturers, where the amount of money it takes to produce a game is about 226 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,360 equivalent to the amount of money they'll get back from selling that video game, 227 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:24,440 and so they only are going to take risks on the things that are the 228 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,759 biggest and most uh and most obviously can succeed. I mean, is it 229 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,720 not that I mean used to be, Hey, you make a sequel, 230 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,440 at least you kind of save money because you know you're using some similar tools 231 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,399 and stuff like that would be why you can make a dead space too. 232 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,799 But it works like that anymore, right, Like that, like what Spider 233 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,120 Man two costs like ThReD million dollars. Yeah, that doesn't really work at 234 00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:50,840 city. Yeah, like that one's like an obvious one where like, clearly 235 00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:52,840 you could save a ton of time with that, but it's like, uh 236 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:56,440 no, you have to put so much content in there, and all that 237 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,440 content is so labor intensive that maybe it doesn't work that way. And even 238 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120 they probably did save money on that game, and yet it still costs that 239 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,200 much. And even if they do save money, it's really at the end 240 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,320 of the day, at the end of the day, it is about growth, 241 00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:15,559 and so saving money is one thing. Finding new money from new customers 242 00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:18,360 is the other, and that's what they're going after. I just I mean, 243 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,799 I'll keep repeating it. I don't see how Battlefield is the solution to 244 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,679 that, but I suppose it's more of a solution to that than more dead 245 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,360 space. I guess. I just that bums me out again, Yeah, 246 00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:33,360 and I mean guess I hope it works out. I mean ice like Battlefield 247 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,960 back at the time. I'm so old that Battlefield nineteen forty two was my 248 00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:39,919 game, really, but if it could hit again, that that'd be nice. 249 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:46,360 I guess. Let's see. Star Wars Outlaws is coming out August thirtieth. 250 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,919 That is pretty exciting to me. I am like, like kind of 251 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,200 not trying to pay attention to the reaction to this stuff because it feels like 252 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,679 a minefield where people are going to be like, oh, she's not pretty 253 00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:00,039 enough the main character, which definitely has happened. Of course that's happened. 254 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,720 And that is the most egregious case of just you can't get excited about any 255 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:11,480 girl who isn't just I'll say, all right, kind of like with uh, 256 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,000 I don't know, it's insane. That's a very pretty woman, insane, 257 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,759 yep. Yeah. And and and she like people point out, like, 258 00:16:17,799 --> 00:16:19,399 looks like Ripley from Aliens. It's like, yeah, she looks exactly 259 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,799 like that. And Nat looks exactly like a character who was like a sexy 260 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,360 sex sci fi icon, Derek, I don't even sci fi sirens. Yeah, 261 00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:32,759 sci fi sirens, yeah, heavy Middle two thousand, uh huh. 262 00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:37,120 But ignoring all that stuff, there are there are a couple other controversies here. 263 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,960 People are like, hey, season pass, that's annoying. I'm used 264 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,159 to it. I'm sorry, that's just where I'm at. And then it 265 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:47,720 requires an internet connection to download the rest of the game if you get the 266 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,320 disc. I'm also used to that. I'm not saying these aren't problems. 267 00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:53,799 People should continue to criticize these things because it does force these companies to at 268 00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:56,200 least reckon with it a little bit. Uh. But they save a lot 269 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,159 of money usually by doing these things, and they make a lot of money 270 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:02,759 by doing the season pass, and that's sort of how they justify licensing in 271 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,359 IP Like Star Wars. I look at that game, I think it looks 272 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,640 pretty solid, Like I'm not expecting the world from it. But if they 273 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:15,319 have like that vibe of you actually are in Outlaw just trying to scrape by 274 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,240 in the Star Wars universe, and then the sort of a faction system is 275 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,839 decent, I'm gonna be happy. I think I don't know. How are 276 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,000 you feeling about it? I'm pretty excited for it. I think Massive does 277 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,799 good work. I like the vision a lot. I like their Avatar game 278 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,480 even and I think honestly looks like they're being a good deal more ambitious with 279 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,240 this than they were where the Avatar game. You know, we get a 280 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,720 lot of Jedi based Star Wars games. It's nice to get one of that 281 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,000 of that kind of scale as the Jedi phon and Order titles, but it 282 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:51,839 is more that bounty hunter rogue kind of character that you're playing. I'm gonna 283 00:17:51,839 --> 00:17:52,640 get my hopes up a little bit for this. I hope it's gonna be 284 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,200 great. And then the other thing is, okay, August thirtieth, this 285 00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:57,440 is like one of the bigger games coming out in the second half of this 286 00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:00,680 year. Things are star and it takes shape a little bit. We get 287 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,680 this, maybe that if if you know Dragon Age that still comes out. 288 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,319 There's a couple of big games that have been announced. Trying to but yeah, 289 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:11,759 how are you feeling about the second half of this year right now at 290 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:15,839 this point? Yeah, I mean it seems a little sparse now. I'm 291 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,599 trying to race my brain. Remember what else is coming out, Uh, 292 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,920 you know, definitely Indiana Jones and that's it's a lot of essay is Microsoft 293 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480 stuff. I think probably a Vowed is more second half, right, Uh 294 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,559 is that year? I think so yes, I hopewait is very soon. 295 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,559 And then I think a Vowed in India Jones are later, but I'm India 296 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:41,119 Jones certainly is yes, Indiana Jones definitely is yes. Right, so uh 297 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,039 god, two the biggest games this year are gonna be Indiana Jones of Star 298 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:48,680 Wars. I guess that's not chocking. Yeah, I mean right, I 299 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,160 mean that's what that That is the vestige of the period that we were just 300 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,440 in where it's like you got to be all I P all the time, 301 00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:56,319 and it feels like, well, that's not a guarantee going forward from a 302 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,920 coupley like Ea. Although they are making a lot of of Marvel games, 303 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,079 I think it's definitly gonna feel a lot more sparse than like last year where 304 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:07,480 you had something like an Assassin's Cree game came out and everyone was basically like, 305 00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:10,279 don't have time to even think about that? Right, yeah, sorry, 306 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,079 chests playing Assassin's Creed Red is probably coming out this year and it's like, 307 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,400 yeah, that a big new Assassin's Creed game feels like it'll do just 308 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:22,160 fine this year as opposed to last year. So yeah, I mean beyond 309 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,519 the games that we've mentioned, there isn't much. Like frost Punk two is 310 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,440 in July, and I'm excited about that. Yeah, but like these big 311 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,160 like Marquee, Triple A, ras Stalker two, Heart of Chernobyls September fifth 312 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,359 will see Warhammer forty K Space Rae two that is definitely a B game and 313 00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:45,039 that's parenthesis positive for that. Yeah, and that's those I mean, Blackmith 314 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,400 Wukong is also in August. Like that's the level game we're talking about left 315 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,640 for this year. So yeah, we are a month and a half away, 316 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,119 two months away from Summer Game Fest. Things probably will pick up then 317 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,839 we probably will have some bigger announcements. But as it stands right now, 318 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,000 I'm glad that Star Wars is coming in August. That's great, But overall 319 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,319 it looks like it's slowing down and that's just fine. Yeah. Man, 320 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:14,200 this might be a big MMO year for me again because the fourteen is getting 321 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,920 down trail right, I was getting exit, why I was getting gets expedited 322 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,680 and a lot of content. Like I was on the World Warcraft subreddit, 323 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:25,079 Jeff, I was on this World of Warcraft subreddit. The vibe is positive. 324 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,400 Yeah, I was. I was. I was noticing that, like 325 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,720 they're like, hey, the remix and stuff. What how does that work? 326 00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:33,000 I mean, give me the short version. Well, so Catechism is 327 00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:37,599 coming to Classic. But then in retail they're also doing this kind of Missipandaria 328 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:42,720 like like Reducts experience where you can just sort of level through Missipantaria as it 329 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,039 was, and there's like some new gear and whatnot, and then when you're 330 00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:48,519 done with it, it's just a retail character that you can play as. 331 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:56,480 And the return of the game's returned to China too, So okay, wow, 332 00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:00,200 right, Missia is like a that's even though like at the time people 333 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,680 didn't play it because everyone was burnt out on Cataclysm. That's a very well 334 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,440 thought of expansion in these days, you know, people like the Lax expansion 335 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,039 and the new one's already coming. So you know, Blizzard's been having some 336 00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:15,200 struggles lately, but we're at a Warcraft They really righted that ship in a 337 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,039 big way. Yeah, I mean, and it's for as troublesome as that 338 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,319 project must be for them at the end of the day, where that game 339 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,319 settles in in terms of subscriptions has got to be huge. I mean, 340 00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:32,480 oh, somebody they had that number, somebody like found it not too long 341 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,920 ago, and it was like five million or something for World. Oh okay, 342 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,039 that was way more than I was, even I didn't believe it when 343 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:41,480 I saw it. And then like other people confer or corroborated that or reported 344 00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:44,400 on that, And I mean, now keep in mind again because now you 345 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,960 have word Warcraft and Classic, so sure we're subscribed for both things. Okay, 346 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,720 it was seven point two five million reported a coupleiks ago. Again, 347 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:53,680 that is so high I almost don't believe it, right, But but the 348 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,200 point is is like if it's a million, that is still more than a 349 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,920 million. A million at what is it, fifteen dollars a month? It's 350 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,279 something like eleven, So I forget somewhere in that range. Still, like 351 00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:07,680 that is for running one game like that is easily worth it, right, 352 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,319 Oh and the other game would kill for that. And you know what else 353 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,319 they had toward Warcraft recently that everybody seems to like a lot. They added 354 00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:15,960 a battle Royal Mode. They just did that. It's a pirate theme, 355 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,559 but Battle Royal mode called Plunderstorm. People seem to like it. Actually need 356 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,240 to try that out. At some point they said, Jez talked to Blizzard 357 00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:26,680 and they confirmed it. So yeow okay then, I mean, so getting 358 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,279 back to the point is writing the ship is like there's no other option. 359 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,119 They have to do what it takes to write the ship. There is too 360 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,920 much money at stake. That's so that's so impressive because for so long, 361 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,039 I mean, the numbers were going down from like the height of Wrath of 362 00:22:41,079 --> 00:22:44,960 the lich King fifteen twelve or something like that, to the point where when 363 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,319 it got under five million during Warlords of Drain or they just stopped reporting it 364 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,799 because it was kind of always like it's going down, So we and people 365 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,680 just assumed that, like it must be like below three million at this point, 366 00:22:56,079 --> 00:23:00,200 and now like for it to rebound like that, it's very impressive. 367 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,160 All right, there's these Nintendo Switch games ready to go. There's some yes, 368 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,640 are you are you ready? Do you mean to pull it up? 369 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,279 Are you gonna tell me there's a link here. I'm just like Sean didn't 370 00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:18,960 want us to look Sean, do you want us to do anything special reacts 371 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,400 live? Yeah, I just want a live reaction, and I have all 372 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,039 adendum to the story as well. Wants to see what they are? Okay, 373 00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:26,200 all right, I'm going to click it and let's find out what they 374 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,400 are. Tell what it is, alright, So from Nintendo of America on 375 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:36,319 the Twitter platform, three Super Nintendo Entertainment System classic titles are now live for 376 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,799 Nintendo Switch online members. All right, let's see super our type is the 377 00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:47,400 one I recognized the most. Okay, cool Wrecking Crew ninety eight, which 378 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,839 is a Japanese only release. Oh the jet that was like a tell aview 379 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,799 thing. Really that's kind of nice. Interesting. I'm like, yeah, 380 00:23:53,799 --> 00:24:02,440 okay, that's fascinating. And then the amazing Heberreki hebereki ibaraki h g b 381 00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:08,720 e r e y e. I don't know these look I don't stream shots. 382 00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:14,200 It looks like maybe power Stone but Supernintendo or Powerstone adjacent. Whoa, 383 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,039 okay, that sounds maybe no items but type of fighting. Yeah, yeah, 384 00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:21,960 it's an arena fighter. What the fuck? So an addendum here, 385 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,799 As I mentioned, so amazing Heberak was something that they already had Japan. 386 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,640 So we have a bit of a culture exchange going on here where they're getting 387 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,920 a game that we had already on s O. They're getting battle Toes in 388 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,559 Battle Maniacs, a weird choice for japan ass. But they're also getting a 389 00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:44,119 game that we won't be getting because it would be too much, uh marvelous 390 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,599 a g O Numa's directorial debut com Yeah, that very clearly would end up 391 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,200 inspiring link to the past, that game. So wow, interesting little one 392 00:24:53,200 --> 00:25:03,480 there nuts amazingki, this is very okay. I I guess sure, nothing 393 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:07,279 crazy. What's up with this? Like different different people get different video games? 394 00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:11,279 God damn it, Like what's going on? What don't they just like 395 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,519 releases like World? Why? What's the weird? Is the real answer? 396 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,519 I mean, you know, there's I'm sure there's a licensing agreements all this 397 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:26,160 other boring stuff. But the real answer, Christian is Nintendo they're just weird. 398 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:29,880 I wonder if I was. I'm pretty sure Wrecking Crew NINDI it was 399 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,480 like a teleview thing, only uh it looks like it was a cartridge release, 400 00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:37,640 but it was. I guess maybe I'm making that up. Then, 401 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,480 Yeah, it looks cartridgy Okay, like type. I like our type question 402 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,119 type. Yeah, I had a big shooter phase recently. I mean the 403 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,319 thing is with ur type. If you're really in the art type, there's 404 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,680 probably more interesting art types you can buy for not too much on your switch 405 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,160 right now, but still I'll take it. Yeah, it more of an 406 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,640 art type or Grottius guy, I'm more of an R type guys, Gradius. 407 00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:00,559 You know what I want is Paroti. I want a Parodius collection, 408 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,759 which is just it basically just plays like Graudius. But it's silly, so 409 00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:08,599 it's better. These all just sound like STIs to me. Yeah, all 410 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:15,799 right. I guess the last thing is I was just on the Moocha's show, 411 00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:19,319 and you know, like like Alaister like, hey, we're uh freaking 412 00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:22,799 out about Xbox. They gotta sell stuff or else we aren't going to care. 413 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,400 I'm like, well, who cares? If you don't care, who 414 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,000 cares? They're They're big thing right now is Hey that next gen hardware that 415 00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,400 they keep talking about from from like Sarah Bond and Phil Spencer, Like, 416 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,640 hey, we're going to have next gin hardware relatively soon and it's gonna be 417 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,599 the biggest technical leap. Ever, how are you gonna feel about that thing 418 00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:42,880 if it does come out in twenty twenty six, Mike, are you going 419 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,920 to be someone that's like, oh, yeah, I'll pick that up, 420 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,480 or you're gonna be kind of like, well, maybe I would I should 421 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,799 just take that money and upgrade my PC instead. It would be Look, 422 00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,519 I probably will still because I'm a sicko, but it would be like the 423 00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:57,640 first time I'd really feel like, like, how much do I really think 424 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,839 I got out of my last x Box, honestly, and how much would 425 00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:08,200 I've been better suited just say putting five hundred dollars into my PC? Now, 426 00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:14,319 what if they have the handheld Xbox that has a really strong ecosystem, 427 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:18,359 Yeah, I mean that'd be more appealing to me. Same, honestly, 428 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,680 because like, especially at that point, I probably wouldn't need to upgrade from 429 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,920 like my Roger Ally, which I do that's like my favorite one right now. 430 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,880 And honestly, like, I imagine a portable Xbox would be pretty similar 431 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,599 to a Rock Ally in a lot of ways. Yes, I think at 432 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:37,559 the end of the day, the improvements that would come to an Xbox handheld 433 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,319 would likely show up in a Roger Ally, in a lot of ways, 434 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:44,400 although by the time we get an Xbox handheld, it'll be significantly more powerful 435 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,000 and capable than what the Roger can do. Definitely the Steam deck cool. 436 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,039 I was just wondering, I'm curious, because that was a little bit of 437 00:27:51,079 --> 00:27:52,599 the conversation we were having in episode. I was like, at this point, 438 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,119 I just I don't I mostly don't care. I'm fine. They that 439 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,680 these are Xboxes problems, they can solve them, and if they don't, 440 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,839 they don't. If they do, they do. If they come out with 441 00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:06,400 the product that I'm interested in, I'll buy it. I'll tell you why. 442 00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:08,359 Here's the key. Make it good. If they make the games good, 443 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,680 I'll buy them. I'll play them. If they make the system good, 444 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,200 I'll buy it and I'll play games on it. And I think that 445 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,880 they have the capacity capacity to do that. And also I also think they 446 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,960 have the capacity to bungle it, which they've been able to do several times 447 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,960 before. So we'll see. I guess I just I would be so curious. 448 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,759 I mean, like, I know people talk out other asset times. 449 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:36,240 I'm hoping there's something behind the bravado of like it's gonna be the biggest jump 450 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,240 ever I think there. I think there will be. I just don't. 451 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,519 I'll tell you what. Whatever they're doing, there's a couple of things they 452 00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:45,960 shouldn't do. They shouldn't launch head to head with the PlayStation six, and 453 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,839 they shouldn't release a console that is basically PlayStation six but with fewer games. 454 00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:52,079 Yes, those are both good points. I think as long as they don't 455 00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:53,920 do that, as long as they were like looking at like, we got 456 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,079 to stop doing that, and they're like, okay, well, if we 457 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,759 aren't trying to do that, how can we get creative and approach the the 458 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,160 you know, the console battle from the margins. And I think if they 459 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,279 do that with a handheld and a very powerful system, I think that that 460 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,440 sounds pretty good to me and I'll at least be very interested in it. 461 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:15,000 So all right, Mike, that does it for the big topics I want 462 00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:18,440 to talk about. Let's take a quick break, and then when we get 463 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,960 back, we will do the superchats. Does that sound good? Sounds fantastic? 464 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:32,000 Right back after this and we are back and Mike, there's a bunch 465 00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:33,839 of super chats. Why didn't read those to me? Yeah? From Carlos 466 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:38,039 Lopez. It's a two part question. First thing here, I'm becoming jaded. 467 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,960 I think I've realized this is a first world hobby kind of filled with 468 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,920 toxicity and privilege. Did you see yabara tweet about tips? I feel repulsed 469 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,039 by his idea? Is this how they think of revenue ideas? Alta ring 470 00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:56,319 doesn't need tips? Why do they continue to squeeze the only people consistently buying 471 00:29:56,359 --> 00:30:02,279 games? It's tremendously unserious. Something has to give. Yeah, I mean, 472 00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:04,960 okay, I why I don't Actually, I'm not super sure what this 473 00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:07,359 is a referen to? Why didn't you are a tweet? I don't know. 474 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,440 I'm going to look it up a que But is that you're supposed to 475 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,279 do? Right? My guest here is is that you probably are supposed to 476 00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:18,200 be tipping developers? I guess, Oh god. And he raised the idea 477 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,680 of what if you could optionally tip developers more at the end of a he 478 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:26,640 said, single player game, so if you felt it deserved more than seventy 479 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,000 dollars, you could obstually tip twenty. It is ten dollars more. It 480 00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:33,640 is. It is incredible. So like that thing that happens to be that's 481 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,720 subbly now where I have to give a tip there. Man, I can't 482 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,160 believe our solution is more more tipping culture. Yep. And I'm someone on 483 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,519 the record like I enjoy tipping culture at places where I have service workers in 484 00:30:45,519 --> 00:30:48,079 front of me and I can pay them to be like make sure, like, 485 00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:51,319 hey, I get it. You're working hard and this company's not providing 486 00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:56,039 it for you. You're a goddamn multi billion dollar corporation. What are you 487 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,119 talking about. It's just so messed up. It's again, no, the 488 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,160 money should come from the bottom, is the top. It's insane. It 489 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,000 is yet and it is. It is actually kind of infuriating for mikey Bar 490 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,799 to even suggest that. Absolutely not, it is. Uh, well, 491 00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:12,279 of course it's a non starter. It's not something that would happen. Well, 492 00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:15,039 I guess, don't say that nothing. Yeah, I know, don't 493 00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,680 say it couldn't happen. Uh. But it's a crazy thing to say and 494 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:25,319 suggest. But here, here, Carlos, I get getting jaded. I 495 00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:30,119 think the best thing to do is get away from these wider scenes, find 496 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,839 your crew, hang out with them, come hang out the discord more. 497 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,720 Carlos. Uh, Well, you know we're good there, people are you 498 00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:40,920 know, we have smaller conversations. Uh, talking to Jan who is just 499 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,680 at WrestleMania, maybe be like, I'm glad I'm in the gaming scene and 500 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,400 not the wrestling scene. Not that he had a good time, but like 501 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,440 the wrestling like coverage people there were like yeah, they were even moored in 502 00:31:53,359 --> 00:32:00,759 a sort of demanding, an abrasive and entitled than any in gaming. And 503 00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:02,720 so okay, at least we're a little bit more mature than that other thing 504 00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:06,960 over there. I suppose, not that that's like a high bar to clear, 505 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,720 but I just think there's ways that you could control your environment a little 506 00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:12,640 bit more to make you feel better. And then at the end of the 507 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,000 day, if that doesn't solve it, so then you're jaded. You go 508 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,200 like other hobbies are there. That's fine, There's nothing wrong with putting gaming 509 00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:22,799 aside for some time. There's no shame in that at all. Alian A 510 00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,799 Miracle says, you know, given things as of late, it makes sense 511 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,319 it's the year of shadow. Uh huh, I mean it really does explain 512 00:32:31,359 --> 00:32:36,079 a lot. Big year for shadows man Backlar should have gotten more out of 513 00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:39,079 that. When of the daily eclipse, we tweeted big, big day for 514 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:45,319 Shadows, I should have gotten in the metal for that one. So see 515 00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:51,119 that this big day for Shadow, like you're tweeting about crying or something, 516 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:57,599 and I know that he's like out there enjoying it. He does. It's 517 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,759 the brand. Yeah, God, so funny, Chris Pratt says, does 518 00:33:01,799 --> 00:33:06,000 anyone know switch to will have the Mario game in it? Man, I 519 00:33:06,079 --> 00:33:09,400 love stomping for lupas in that game back in the arcades. Please look into 520 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,920 it, Jeff.

I think Chris either there's a glitcher or Chris Pratts did say at 523 00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:24,000 the time that they accidentally sent it in twice. Well, you know, 524 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,640 Chris Son having a little trouble with the computer there, he's a boomer. 525 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,279 We can leave, we understand. We can just bet a euro O g 526 00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:35,880 gameer, Chris, Chris Son, we get it team money. Oh Jesus, 527 00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:37,559 first souper chat here. Thanks so much. Don't forget to unlock your 528 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:43,400 very own Jim Ryan commemorative bobblehead and PlayStation Stars before it goes away in a 529 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,599 few days. Thanks for all you guys do. That's real, isn't it. 530 00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:47,960 That's that's real, Although you have to get one, I know. 531 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,799 But if you pointed a gun at my head and said, go over, 532 00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:53,359 claim something in PlayStation Stars, I wouldn't even fucking know where. I don't 533 00:33:53,400 --> 00:34:00,119 know what is PlayStation I thought that was a type of for the PlayStation in 534 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,200 store, PlayStation Star. It's like a program where it's like you can earn 535 00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:08,320 points by like spending money on PlayStation stuff in the PlayStation store, and then 536 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:15,880 you can redeem those points for Jim Ryan digital bobbleheads. What the fuck out? 537 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:20,360 Saying it out loud makes me feel crazy, like I don't know. 538 00:34:20,519 --> 00:34:22,800 I don't know how to get the PlayStation Stars anyhow, So I'm not I 539 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:30,000 shouldn't be trying to get the Jim Bryan bubblehead, all right. Games Mornings 540 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,079 Tomorrow, Willow Davis says, Can I see what a goatee Mike pod face 541 00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:37,039 looks like? Okay, with a displavorite that the guy who did that face 542 00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:39,320 was is problematic. It has been for a while, right, I think 543 00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:46,320 I definitely use an sport. He's a fighting game guy anymore. Actually, 544 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,719 yeah, that's pretty good. Can you do it without the mic other so 545 00:34:54,719 --> 00:35:02,199 we can get a clean one that's actually really lad perfect. Okay, we 546 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,920 got it. That's good as Mike. Congrats. That will be an EMO 547 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,880 on giant bomb dot com. Okay, the next one here is from Big 548 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,840 Fresh thirty seven arcade hockey game Goons, Legends and Mayhem came out today. 549 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,960 Play it after you finished, captain to there you go. More hockey for 550 00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,559 you, hockey freaking let's go. I'll look into this. That sounds Fundones, 551 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:28,159 Legends and Mayhem. All right, I'm checking it out. Chris pratte 552 00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:30,480 Back says, rest in peace. OJ, you would have been a cool 553 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:36,800 charging chuck. Oh, that's true. Be does he playing what did? 554 00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:40,039 Because he was a football player. Yeah? Sometimes I forget he was a 555 00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:45,880 football player. I'm killed people I like to tweet today. Yeah, sure 556 00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:47,800 he killed that lady. But he's the only player to run for two thousand 557 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,280 yards in a fourteen season game, and that's what's important. We can't say 558 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,960 that now, we won't get sued. He's then, I mean, he's 559 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,400 he can't suit us anymore. That's right. He better not be able to 560 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,519 sue me. Well, he's simply the INTERI will says, how do you 561 00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:05,119 all get comfortable playing games handheld? I feel like I spent more time adjusting 562 00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:08,760 my position than actually playing the games. I've always been pretty good with this. 563 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,000 I don't know I've been. I don't even have to get like a 564 00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:15,960 case or special handles for my switch like other people. I just sit there 565 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,119 in bed or lay there in bed holding the thing. I'm fine. I 566 00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:22,440 live my life horizontal, baby, So I just lay down on the bean 567 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:28,440 bag and go to town. Yeah. I actually have more difficulty getting comfortable 568 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:35,280 with gaming at the desk and at the computer right on the couch for console 569 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,920 gaming, so laying down with a handheld device has always been more comfortable for 570 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:43,559 me. And then Big Fresh thirty seven says, honestly, do game journalists 571 00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:45,639 all kind of h o the Lake Wrestlers? No? In fact, dup 572 00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:50,480 Boys is all the time, like Twitter is Twitter and it's weird sometimes as 573 00:36:50,519 --> 00:36:53,920 whenever we see people person it's always five. Everything's like great, here's a 574 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,880 peak behind the scene yesterday when all that was happening. I also they re 575 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:01,840 out to me, both Cat and chaseon Try are going to be on the 576 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,079 Giant Palm couch this this year don't worry. It's Throe the beginning person. 577 00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:09,480 It's like all that stuff, it feels so small. And then really, 578 00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:12,920 once we start talking in any way, it's like, oh, yeah, 579 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,840 this is just everyone's just doing their job. And I think when it seems 580 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:22,559 kind of acrimonious, it's when we just like let those misunderstandings like take the 581 00:37:22,599 --> 00:37:25,119 floor front. That's all. Got one more here just came in from Dustin 582 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,360 Cox. This says, Hey, guys, I'm being my first kid in 583 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,039 five months. Any advice I'm finding time for gaming as a parent. I'm 584 00:37:31,039 --> 00:37:37,639 planning to buy a steam Deck to help. Okay, the question is gaming 585 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,039 is a parent? Yeah, I mean this and steam Deck is going to 586 00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:44,719 be very helpful. I got my switch right when I had my first kid. 587 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,079 I mean, if it's it's first kid, you're gonna have a ton 588 00:37:47,119 --> 00:37:50,840 of gaming time because the thing just sits there. The kid just is just 589 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,719 going to be a ball a goo and you just got to like PLoP it 590 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,320 down on the chest to make fun faces at it, and then you get 591 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,800 to play your games and the kids can be like, oh, what are 592 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,000 you doing there? So it's it's pretty easy there for the first couple of 593 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,639 months. It's more complicated later on if you have multiple kids or once, 594 00:38:05,679 --> 00:38:08,760 they have responsibilities and they need to be like taking care of constantly, and 595 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,239 they can't just like to shove a bottle in their face. So yeah, 596 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,599 just get a handheld device that you're comfortable with. If the steam deck is 597 00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:19,760 it, that'll be great, and and that should be enough. I think 598 00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:22,199 J D. Camp says, what happened to Mike? I hate change. 599 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:27,920 Yeah, Mike's gone Dark Mitches here now man, dark Matches. Dark Match 600 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,480 has been so important to me, saved me so many times. I decided 601 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:40,400 to replace him, replace Mike with him on the show. No, it's 602 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:45,679 implied I could do weird things with my jowl when this is like this, 603 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,800 Mike, don't give that away for free. People should pay for that, 604 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,239 everybody. If you want Mike to do weird things with his jowl, to 605 00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:01,119 your but now you're looking like the guy for men and black. I don't 606 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:09,400 like it. Sugar water, sugar water, sugar water. That's different. 607 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:15,199 Now, everybody, all right, we're gonna take another break and then we 608 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,039 get back. We got some big topics to take care of, including our 609 00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:21,639 nineties arcade draft to look out for. That right, ready to lose. 610 00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:30,079 All right, we're back in it's the nineties. Uh, We're back when 611 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,519 love was still left in the world. We did it? Yeah, yeah, 612 00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:36,199 back when O. J. Simpson was in his prime, in his 613 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:42,440 prime, and and Bill Clinton was president and everything there was no no penis 614 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,000 is anyone his mouth. I'm sorry, I don't know why. I just 615 00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:49,639 can't think of the nineties without thinking about Bill Clinton's penis. How about okay, 616 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:58,440 yes, right, think about you're right, all right, we're gonna 617 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,960 pick our Okay, here's a couple of things. So we're gonna do a 618 00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,760 nineties arcade draft. We need to figure out a couple of things. I 619 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,079 was thinking maybe like seven games, Mike, but what do you think probably 620 00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:09,440 like to get the time we get to seven first and see if we if 621 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,559 we like really are running on fumes trying to come up with these anymore. 622 00:40:13,639 --> 00:40:16,519 But all right, sounds good. And then we got to figure out who's 623 00:40:16,559 --> 00:40:21,440 going first. We have a solution for that. I can like roll a 624 00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:23,400 dice or something, unless a sean you have something? All right? Did 625 00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:28,519 Mike goes first? A very cool? All right? Anything else we need 626 00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:30,440 to figure out, Mike? Yeah, Look, look some games have like 627 00:40:30,559 --> 00:40:35,519 multiple variations. But yeah, any game that was possible to play in the 628 00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:37,480 arcades in the nineties. So if something came out in the eighties but was 629 00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:39,960 available in the nineties, I think that's fair game. I don't think there's 630 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,639 burner pick any of those because it's like hard because of the various like releases. 631 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,239 I think it's kind of like, I mean to a point, but 632 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,280 like what you want to like make pac Man eligible. That's not really what 633 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,280 I was thinking. More like you know, things that have like terminent edition 634 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,800 and whatnot, Like, yeah, I don't think we need to get that. 635 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,679 Wow, Okay, yeah, okay, sure. I think if it's 636 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,559 like what I mean mostly is like if it's like eighty nine, but like 637 00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:04,960 it came out in the United States in the nineties, I just don't want 638 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,719 to be too strict on that. That's what I meant. All Right, 639 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,480 that's fine, We'll have some buffer, all right, cool, all right? 640 00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:13,000 In that case, Mikey, your first go for it. This is 641 00:41:13,039 --> 00:41:16,079 it is hard. I feel like, like, what is number one here? 642 00:41:16,119 --> 00:41:19,639 I know what I know? It was the most popular arcade game, 643 00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:23,559 and it's just a matter of like is this still gonna work now? Even 644 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:28,480 though it's all stuff from the nineties, I'll still be called a boomer no 645 00:41:28,519 --> 00:41:30,760 matter what I pick. But I think i'll I think I'll pick NBA Jam 646 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,760 first. Actually, like yes again, like what I mean, yeah, 647 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,880 ternamin Editions like the ideal form, but you know, just right to NBA 648 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,760 Jam, that's probably fine. Okay, Yeah, this is this is tough. 649 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,599 I'm trying to think of games that will get people the most excited, 650 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:52,960 and it's hard to predict. I think, so I'm gonna go with I'm 651 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,920 gonna go with X Men Arcade. I like it. I get one of 652 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,199 those beat them ups. Yeah, I think people see that and they get 653 00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:00,159 I think they get pretty sited, just kind of like, oh yeah, 654 00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:02,639 I love that game. I played it so much as a kid. It's 655 00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:07,000 I know, I think a lot of people think that, Like they can't 656 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,519 get the beat them Up license because Sony just owns X Men for video games 657 00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:14,280 right now. But God, I hope a deal can happen because with X 658 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,719 Men ninety seven popping off, and with Tribute Games just having done that amazing 659 00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:22,039 like TM and t beat them Up, just please make a new X Men 660 00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,599 beat them Up in that style happen. Please. Yeah, I agree, 661 00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:29,320 and I know something. It feels like there's usually exceptions for that sort of 662 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,639 thing, so hopefully they can make it happen. I'm gonna go straight Fighter 663 00:42:32,639 --> 00:42:37,440 three Third Strike specifically, yeah, which is just squeaked in there in ninety 664 00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:42,440 nine. I believe I think that this is the best fighting game to come 665 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,079 out in the nineties. Fighting games are obviously very important for video games, 666 00:42:46,119 --> 00:42:50,480 for fighting games in the nineties, So I'm going with that one. Yeah, 667 00:42:50,519 --> 00:42:52,639 And I'm gonna go in a similar route, but I'm gonna go with 668 00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:55,480 the one that's like I think Splash Year for more people, and that's Mortal 669 00:42:55,559 --> 00:42:59,559 Kombat too. Yeah, that's kind of the other one that was definitely the 670 00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:01,639 one to meet that was like more important at the time, right for sure. 671 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,599 And I think people again like, oh yeah, I love Mortal Kombat 672 00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:08,039 too. I'm like, not sure how far that gets me, but I'm 673 00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:19,360 hopeful. Chat no suggestions. I see all these deleted things. Chat no 674 00:43:19,559 --> 00:43:24,920 suggestions except for you cold, I'll read yours, don't orry, but but 675 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:30,639 thank you for being so engaged. I'm would go. I'm gonna also do 676 00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:32,880 a beat them up. There's one I know I like more and but you 677 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,920 can guess too, Joe. I think I gotta go with the more popular 678 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,559 one there. I gotta go with T M and T Turtles and time as 679 00:43:38,599 --> 00:43:45,960 by representative here. I think in that case, I will go with because 680 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,480 I'm gonna go I'm just gonna kinda go with the theme of like I think 681 00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:52,719 people will get excited when they see this, I'm gonna go with the Simpsons. 682 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,400 Then. I know it's another beat them up, but I think there's 683 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,440 people who like expand I think there's people like the Simpsons, and this will 684 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,079 cover both of those bases. So I think now I'm worried about the racing 685 00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:07,360 genre, and for me, that's gonna be Daytona USA is my two, 686 00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:12,639 right da? Yeah, that's really good man. I'm like, every time 687 00:44:12,679 --> 00:44:15,960 you like pick one, I'm like, should I be immediately thinking about covering 688 00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:22,119 that genre? And I might, but well maybe not exactly a racing game 689 00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:25,159 though, you know what, I'll go with crazy Taxi. Okay, I 690 00:44:25,199 --> 00:44:30,360 love crazy Taxi. Yeah, absolutely, Crazy taxi has never been one wherehere. 691 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:31,760 I'm like, I'm gogat for it, but I always have fun and 692 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:37,280 I know people have fond memories of it as an arcade game. The other 693 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:43,079 genre I really want to cover here is the gun genre shooting, and for 694 00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:47,239 this I think the best one is absolutely Time Crisis two. That's the one 695 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,639 I would always think of for these kinds of games specifically, all right, 696 00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:54,440 and just going second is kind of forcing me in these situations, and I 697 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,679 want to make sure that I have something to answer to that that I feel 698 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,199 comfortable with, and so I'll go with the House of the Day. Okay, 699 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:05,719 it's the House of the Dead. I like that. That's good. 700 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,639 That makes sense to me. Yeah, but I'm like, I look at 701 00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:09,159 your list. I think it's a Your list is the one I like better 702 00:45:09,199 --> 00:45:13,199 already. So they're both good. Yeah, they're both good. But like 703 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,000 this is how it always goes, isn't it. Yep, your turn, 704 00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:20,679 Mikey. We can clearly go to ten, I think, so, yeah, 705 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,559 we're doing pretty good here, yues Yeah, this would be six. 706 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:28,400 Uh. I think another kind of co op game, but of a different 707 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,519 style. I'm gonna go with Gauntlet Legends. Now, Wow, that's I 708 00:45:31,519 --> 00:45:36,239 feel I feel like that's what I love. Uh. Do you think it's 709 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,800 gonna play? I Thinklet Legends still plays a bit, but I'm glad to 710 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:44,760 hear that. Honestly, I love Gatland Legends. Yes, I'm great in 711 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,079 Sean Stance Tran. I'm glad to hear that because I was like, man, 712 00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:49,599 that's one I always think of as a great pick, but I wasn't. 713 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:54,639 I didn't have confidence in it. Man, is that Should I go 714 00:45:54,679 --> 00:45:57,960 with that arcade version of that one? I don't know. Maybe not. 715 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,400 How many more fighting games do I really want to go with? You know 716 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,840 what, I don't have my answer to that. I'll go with NFL Blitz. 717 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,199 Yeah, that's good. I probably should have picked that one up by 718 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,400 now. Yeah, and I should have done it earlier, I think. 719 00:46:14,159 --> 00:46:16,760 But I'm happy with that that pick. I mean commanded. If it's not 720 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,519 NBA Jam, it's NFL Blitz for a lot of people, and a lot 721 00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:24,000 of people prefer NFL Blitz. So I feel good about that. Gosh, 722 00:46:24,079 --> 00:46:27,559 this is support me. And this was one that was everywhere and I think 723 00:46:27,559 --> 00:46:30,800 people I think people still liked it. It was. I hope it's not 724 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:36,840 been more picked. But Star Wars trilogy, that Arcade Machine Rule, that 725 00:46:37,119 --> 00:46:50,719 was yep, absolutely Okay. Thinking here again, now, I am kind 726 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,679 of leaning back towards a fighting game. I think, uh, I'm gonna 727 00:46:54,679 --> 00:47:01,199 go with Soul Caliber. Okay, I think I'm gonna go right back at 728 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:07,519 you. Uh yeah, I think I'll just go tech them three. Then. 729 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:13,280 Oh that's yeah, that's a good one. All right, So where 730 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,280 are we at?

You know 741 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:07,239 what, I'm gonna go with San Francisco Rush. Nice, it's good. 742 00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:14,800 I'm gonna go with Metal Slug that's one that was definitely thinking. I was 743 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:15,920 kind of wondering if I could get away with that as a last pick. 744 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,840 Now, yeah, it's just smart, right, And and I was like, 745 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,159 we're thinking about S and K as well, Mike. I think that's 746 00:48:22,199 --> 00:48:29,400 the S and K game I would still want. Okay, let's see here. 747 00:48:31,199 --> 00:48:37,480 You know what I I will go with die Hard Arcade. Okay, 748 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:45,320 okay, ah, god, this is like a big one. I part 749 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,480 of me wonder how it plays now this is my last one, but I 750 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,519 think I'm gonna go with hydro Thunder. Hydro Thunder is fantastic. That is 751 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,840 a really good game. It's definitely when I. It's when I when I 752 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,519 took Crazy Taxi, I was thinking, maybe I should go with hydro Thunder 753 00:48:58,519 --> 00:49:01,199 instead, but I'm like, Crazy Taxi just had that brand recognition that I 754 00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:06,079 couldn't deny. Okay, I'm gonna go with Dance Dance Revolution then for my 755 00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:07,719 last Oh that's pretty good. Oh. I definitely should have gone something from 756 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,840 the music genre. Yeah, like, you know, look, there's a 757 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,320 couple other ones that would be in the play there, but I think Dance 758 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,159 Dance Revolution is correct. All right, Mike, why don't you read yours, 759 00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:23,239 and then I'll read mine.

I did think about Neoturf Masters when you took Metal Slug, but 788 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,119 I'm like that might be kind of a Bars' capcom too. By the way, 789 00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:32,440 it is like early two thousands drag, like early two thousand. I 790 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:38,239 think it's literally two thousands, like, yeah, cold, that was Mary 791 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,639 Cash, that was It's just impressive stuff.

Yeah, and then the end of the 797 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,840 show, we're going to do the recap of the Fantasy League I believe, 798 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,159 right, well, let's do that first and then gives people time to vote. 799 00:52:08,039 --> 00:52:10,840 Let's okay, we'll talk about a second. Know what, We're gonna 800 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:16,840 take a break. We'll be right back everybody. We're I thought we were 801 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,320 back already. I was real confused. I'm sorry. It's okay. So 802 00:52:21,639 --> 00:52:23,559 that's just in the show now, that's going to be the podcast version, 803 00:52:23,679 --> 00:52:28,320 right back, everybody. Welcome back to our show where we're going to talk 804 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,039 about video games. Mike, what have you been playing? I guess it's 805 00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:34,760 something interesting. I got to play actually a bit of the Rogue Prince of 806 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:40,119 Persia, which is the recently announced roguelike Prince of Persia. Game being made 807 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:45,400 by Evil Empire, I believe the name of the Dead Cells studio. This 808 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:51,480 is coming out in early access later this year, I think sometime the summer. 809 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,440 I can never find that date when I think about it. But yeah, 810 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,320 I got to play like about an hour of this. I got to 811 00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,679 do a few runs fifteenth the Way fifteenth and Early Accidents next month, yep, 812 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,559 okay, pretty soon then. So yeah, it's so it is weird, 813 00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:07,760 Jeff. It's weird in the ways I think we thought it'd be weird. 814 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:13,719 Like, Okay, there's just another new two D print, the Persia 815 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,159 game after we already got one that was amazing, and it's obviously similar because 816 00:53:17,199 --> 00:53:22,079 it's two D and it's about combat and platforming, but it is like, 817 00:53:22,159 --> 00:53:24,639 yes, it's just made from different people. It's like these two teams were 818 00:53:24,639 --> 00:53:29,760 not talking to each other. They aren't connected in any narrative sense or anything 819 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:34,920 like that, and yet everything here still feels really good. Like that combat 820 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,079 that that definitely is a bit Dead Cells. The Dead Cells was very good 821 00:53:37,079 --> 00:53:42,119 with the two D combat, right, unlike with the you know, Lost 822 00:53:42,159 --> 00:53:45,599 Crown, you are getting different weapons and stuff as part of your build and 823 00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:49,480 whatnot. Then the platforming also feels really good. But the big thing here 824 00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:52,320 is that wall climbing mechanic. Whereas in The Lost Crown you had that kind 825 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,960 of wall climb air dash basically, right, and that was the way they 826 00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,119 incorporated it here. A lot of times there is literally a wall in the 827 00:54:00,199 --> 00:54:02,400 background, and if there is one, then you can do a short climb 828 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,800 on it in any direction to kind of help your movement. And that feels 829 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:12,199 fantastic. That sounds fantastic. So so you're saying you can run wall run 830 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,000 in any direction. Yeah, you can like wall run up if you want 831 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,360 to. Oh, okay, and like diagonal, So it's like platforming exactly. 832 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,480 Like that's like kind of the main platforming hook of it. And now 833 00:54:22,639 --> 00:54:24,840 not there's not always a background there, but like ninety five percent of the 834 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:30,440 time there is. Okay. So my question is this is a procedurally generated 835 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,960 game because it's a roguelike game similar to Dead Cells. Does the platforming feel 836 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,840 like considered enough that it like reaches your standards as someone who's super into that 837 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,760 kind of game. Yeah, it does. And there are like a part 838 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,280 of what you will find are platforming challenge rooms, which do have like the 839 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,480 really well crafted format segments and then like you do it and there's a chance 840 00:54:52,519 --> 00:54:54,599 of like one of three upgrades kind of a thing. Right, So even 841 00:54:54,599 --> 00:54:58,519 in like the levels of self it feels good. Then when you have those 842 00:54:58,559 --> 00:55:00,719 it is kind of like, Okay, now I'm like really moving and this 843 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,119 is feeling really nice. Kind of like again, how it feels in some 844 00:55:04,199 --> 00:55:07,440 of those sections in the Lost Crown, even though the mechanics are a bit 845 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,679 different here. And then the look of it, how are you feeling about 846 00:55:12,679 --> 00:55:16,000 that? I mean, it looks like slightly rotoscoped, has echoes of a 847 00:55:16,039 --> 00:55:20,679 bunch of different things. But I know you brought up the original Prince of 848 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,840 Persia the cinematic platformer. Does that come across when you're playing, because in 849 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,639 the video, I'm like, this looks pretty good, but I bet it 850 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:30,079 looks better when I'm playing it. Does that do that way? I can 851 00:55:30,119 --> 00:55:32,079 say, I might throw some people off, right, it is? It 852 00:55:32,119 --> 00:55:37,280 is striking. It is that kind of unshaded style that like I think, 853 00:55:37,639 --> 00:55:40,159 no, I'm thinking if Dan Rekert and like hollow and I think some people 854 00:55:40,199 --> 00:55:45,400 associate that as new ground Z a little bit and maybe consider it as sort 855 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,760 of cheap looking. I think it looks nice and it does have that like 856 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,840 like there's a lot of frames that looks real rotoscopey. I mean, I've 857 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,480 been saying it kind of reminds me of like the original Prince of Persia. 858 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,920 Did you kind of get what I meant by that now that you see it? 859 00:55:59,159 --> 00:56:00,920 Yeah, when I look at it, I see what you mean. 860 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:05,119 It reminds me of games that were sort of doing that rotoscope style from later 861 00:56:05,159 --> 00:56:07,880 as well, the one I brought up on Games Mornings which I didn't show. 862 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,320 I showed the Revenge of the Sith one for the DS, but Attack 863 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:14,199 of the Clones for Game Boy Advance has that rotoscoping as well, and it 864 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,960 reminds me a lot of that, But obviously that is informed by Prince of 865 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,320 Persia as well. I don't know, I think it looks really striking. 866 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:27,599 I think like the beyond, like the technical look, the the style choices, 867 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,360 and like the setting. That stuff really stuck out as well. I'm 868 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:31,239 like, man, we've had a lot of Prince of Persia games and yet 869 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:36,880 how somehow this still feels pretty fresh. Yeah, that's what's the it is 870 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,480 need how to stink the still feels from the literal Prince of Persia game we 871 00:56:39,559 --> 00:56:44,440 got eight couple months ago, right, you know, and that was doing 872 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,239 like, you know, Polygons as a two D kind of thing, and 873 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:52,119 this is doing much more of a drawled art art kind of painterly style. 874 00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:54,119 I suppose, maybe not painterly, but you know what I mean. It's 875 00:56:54,159 --> 00:56:58,960 clearly different than that, and they both look good. But yeah, I 876 00:56:59,039 --> 00:57:02,000 just was surprised that it does play well even though it feels different. The 877 00:57:02,079 --> 00:57:05,639 ruds were feeling good, Like I was fighting up boss at the end and 878 00:57:05,679 --> 00:57:07,920 I get very close to killing them and I get mad at myself that I 879 00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,760 did it. I think, just like Lost Crown, you have like a 880 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,559 potion system right where you're like, yeah, you have so many potions and 881 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,280 you know you can use them. Maybe you can refill them here or there, 882 00:57:15,679 --> 00:57:20,400 who knows. So I think that this is going to hit pretty well 883 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:25,079 when this comes out good. I'm glad to hear that I've mostly been playing 884 00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:28,599 games I can't talk about. I'll be able to talk about them here pretty 885 00:57:28,599 --> 00:57:31,480 soon. Some stuff I'm excited about. So we did check back in on 886 00:57:31,519 --> 00:57:36,239 Hell Divers too today, and that game continues to be very fun every time 887 00:57:36,239 --> 00:57:37,119 we play it. We just have a good time. I'm not playing enough 888 00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:39,880 of it. I wish I was playing more of it, but boy, 889 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:45,639 it's just a great time to jump in there and do fun stuff and every 890 00:57:45,679 --> 00:57:49,840 moment is exciting or funny and that like not every game has that, so 891 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,800 really really enjoyed ourselves there. I am. I'm still pretty low level, 892 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,199 so I'm using a lot of the basic stuff still, and yet it's like, 893 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,039 you know, figuring out how to make the I can't remember name of 894 00:58:00,039 --> 00:58:02,440 the gun, but it's the one that's the big cannon that I put on 895 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:07,000 my shoulder and as a backpack of AMMO, and realizing that rifle, thank 896 00:58:07,039 --> 00:58:10,760 you, the recoilist rifle. Realizing that Sean could take the backpack and carry 897 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,639 it for me, and when it was time for me to fire it, 898 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,719 he could be reloading it while I'm firing it, so it's ready to go 899 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:20,480 way faster than me stopping sitting down on my knee putting the thing in and 900 00:58:20,519 --> 00:58:23,000 being completely helpless, and like he was like, I'm gonna wear this backpack? 901 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,320 How does it work? And he just came out to me he had 902 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:28,679 a new option, like that that's really neat, Like that teamworkers, like, 903 00:58:28,719 --> 00:58:32,559 Okay, the synergies are obvious here, and and that also has it's 904 00:58:32,599 --> 00:58:35,599 like a give and take. It's like, Okay, we give fire this 905 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,360 very powerful rifle now much more quickly, but now Sean can't wear anything on 906 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,159 his backpack other than my AMO, So there's a given take there. And 907 00:58:43,199 --> 00:58:45,760 I just like thinking about those various synergies and I'm like, I'm also glad 908 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:50,760 we're not super serious about the game, Like we're like, we are gonna 909 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,400 play the meta. We are gonna like do the thing. We're gonna get 910 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,400 the weapon and it's the best weapon. It's like, no, we're just 911 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:59,039 having fun experimenting, figuring things out. And I think that's probably where the 912 00:58:59,039 --> 00:59:00,400 game is at its best, where it's like, oh, we're discovering these 913 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:05,519 new ways of working together. And that felt really cool. So yeah, 914 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,639 big fan of it. Also, we made Christian mad the entire time because 915 00:59:07,639 --> 00:59:13,519 we playing that alone made it worth it exactly anything else from you, Mike, 916 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:21,559 I'm glad, my my, my suffering brings you joy. So you're 917 00:59:21,639 --> 00:59:24,239 right, absolutely, So the worst thing you could do is is decide you 918 00:59:24,239 --> 00:59:30,280 want to talk and scream out two syllables. They go like a whole second 919 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:35,760 delay for me to talk. I don't know. I'm sorry. I forgive 920 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,199 you. We got we got to put the mods back in the mod hole. 921 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:45,000 Look you said it, uh Persona three reload. Finally I did, 922 00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:49,119 finally get through it. I kind of have like that big, like something 923 00:59:49,159 --> 00:59:52,920 magical about like deciding to play to finish the JRPG that you're playing, and 924 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,960 you do that in like four hours or so, right Becau's like, you 925 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,800 know, we're you know, you know you're at the end. You're not 926 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,440 going to leave some of that for the next day. So I had a 927 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:05,639 big race there to kind of get through it. I was very powerful by 928 01:00:05,639 --> 01:00:07,239 the end. I don't know what I did, but like it was pretty 929 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:12,480 easy at the end there for me. I was just completely wiping through these 930 01:00:12,559 --> 01:00:15,039 final bosses and everything. But man, it still hits, you know, 931 01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:19,840 no spoilers. Persona three has a very good ending. It's an ending that 932 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,480 really sticks with you. It's just really neat. Because when I played Persona 933 01:00:23,639 --> 01:00:28,000 three Porta Bowl, I was doing that on my Vita. I was like, 934 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,840 that's so long ago. I was like, you know, living in 935 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,719 the basement of my mother's condo at that time, right, so all these 936 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,119 years later, just like you know, situations changed. I'm in my own 937 01:00:38,199 --> 01:00:44,800 house playing this thing on the rock outline now being in a much better place 938 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,840 in life, but like still having that kind of similar experience. There's something 939 01:00:49,039 --> 01:00:52,800 really neat about that. Yeah, I mean, I'm glad you're able to 940 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,880 get through all that too, especially like a busy year already taking that much 941 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,679 time on something like that and able to being able to get through that's great. 942 01:01:00,199 --> 01:01:02,960 Are you, like, what is your plan to attack those games that 943 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:07,679 we've missed so far this year? Because I'm starting to be like maybe I 944 01:01:07,679 --> 01:01:09,559 don't have to go back and play everything. I mean, I want to 945 01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:14,159 start Unicorn Overlord. And I was going to that. I like was like 946 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,199 organizing my NSO stuff, and it's like, I've not played my Switch very 947 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,960 much last a couple of months because I've been doing Persona. It's like, 948 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,639 oh, hold on my Switch. And then somehow I just found myself playing 949 01:01:23,679 --> 01:01:28,920 Mario Golf on the game and like, I played a few hours of that 950 01:01:29,079 --> 01:01:30,960 last night, and I think I'm probably going to play more of that tonight 951 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:35,519 before we really dive into Unicorn Overlord. I don't know. Yeah, I 952 01:01:35,519 --> 01:01:38,239 did start Unicorn Overlord. But I do have Mario Golf just sitting on the 953 01:01:38,239 --> 01:01:42,239 Analog pocket and a bunch of nights where I'm like, okay, I got 954 01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,599 a track, let me go get the Steam Deck and I'm like, ah, 955 01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:46,519 the Analog pocket's right there. I'll just start playing some Mario Golf instead 956 01:01:46,559 --> 01:01:52,039 and doing that instead Unicorn Overlord. I talked about that on Ninten Dogs everybody, 957 01:01:52,159 --> 01:01:53,960 if you want to listen to it there. That game is very good, 958 01:01:54,039 --> 01:01:59,880 though I'm very into the tactics and I am skipping a lot of this 959 01:02:00,039 --> 01:02:02,599 story and that is making it pretty bearable for me. So Christoph brings up 960 01:02:02,599 --> 01:02:07,239 a point, are you done with Dragons Dogma? I don't. I'm not. 961 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:08,800 I want to go back to it, but it's like, I like, 962 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,320 it's in the same spot with like Final Fantasy seven Rebirth. I want 963 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,880 to go back to that, And I'm like, I think what I need 964 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,800 to do is acknowledge I'm not going to go back to Final Fantasy seven Rebirth 965 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:21,159 and that's not right now and just go play Dragon's Dogma two. And but 966 01:02:21,559 --> 01:02:23,079 god, I wish you just ran better on on the Steam Deck or something 967 01:02:23,639 --> 01:02:29,199 better on everything. I should run better on everything, So yeah, anything 968 01:02:29,239 --> 01:02:31,280 else, Mike No, I think I'm ready to be declared a winner hopefully. 969 01:02:34,159 --> 01:02:37,559 Let's yeah, let's do the results right now. For that, I'm 970 01:02:37,559 --> 01:02:43,440 going to end the poll and give Sean a second to collate that and give 971 01:02:43,519 --> 01:02:47,400 us the results one more time though, Mikey, Mikey's Arcade versus Jeff Kaid 972 01:02:47,719 --> 01:02:52,559 are the highlights here NBA Jam versus X Men, Arcade Street Fight or three 973 01:02:52,639 --> 01:02:55,039 third Strike versus Mortal Kombat too. We'll see what people pick. Sean. 974 01:02:55,079 --> 01:02:59,639 Do we have the results? We do, we have the official results. 975 01:02:59,679 --> 01:03:04,639 As a always with these drafts, the patrons of the community over in the 976 01:03:04,679 --> 01:03:07,400 discord ultimately decide who is the winner of the evening. That's right, and 977 01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:12,119 I would like to say I think you both made some good lists tonight. 978 01:03:12,159 --> 01:03:14,440 I think Mike was a little stronger in the first half, Jeff was a 979 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,159 little stronger in the second half. Both good lists, and I will say 980 01:03:17,159 --> 01:03:24,039 the polls on all platforms are relatively close, but interestingly, the podcast producers 981 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:30,199 did favor one of these a bit more because with sixty percent of the vote, 982 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:35,039 so not a blowout, but definitely in the lead. Your winner is 983 01:03:37,719 --> 01:03:39,639 Mikey is ourcade. Okay, oh my god. I was like, it's 984 01:03:39,679 --> 01:03:44,119 somehow it's not gonna win because I just went on Twitter. It saw that 985 01:03:44,239 --> 01:03:49,039 somehow I'm losing there, and I was like, what the way I went 986 01:03:49,079 --> 01:03:53,239 with the Twitter audience and it fucked me those you can't ever go for those 987 01:03:53,239 --> 01:03:57,760 sickouts. Yeah, I'm not surprised, Mike. I really would have a 988 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:02,159 better time in your arcade than of course I have Hydro Center. Yeah, 989 01:04:02,199 --> 01:04:08,599 you have Hydro obviously, Hydro Thunder fucking Rules, Star Wars Trilogy, Arcade, 990 01:04:08,639 --> 01:04:12,079 Gauntlet Legends. I love these games about I think Gatlet Legends was a 991 01:04:12,079 --> 01:04:14,559 good pool for me. I'm glad you. I'm glad you picked it, 992 01:04:14,599 --> 01:04:16,320 and you deserve to win for having the bravery to pick that one, because 993 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:19,039 I was too much of a coward. So that puts me in my place. 994 01:04:19,239 --> 01:04:21,880 TAYTONA, USA. These are all really great games. I'm like, 995 01:04:23,039 --> 01:04:26,239 I would miss X Men Arcade if I didn't have that inside of miss x 996 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,800 Men Arcade, but the most sure, honestly, your games I think are 997 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,519 better and mine have some Like what I did there was like I'll just try 998 01:04:32,559 --> 01:04:36,360 to get by on name recognition and that wasn't enough this time. So yeah, 999 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,639 yeah, I definitely wish I got Blitz. I think Blitz is a 1000 01:04:39,679 --> 01:04:43,800 big guest for you, especially that late. Yes, but Blitz was a 1001 01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,800 good value pick at that place. I was able to get a lot of 1002 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,639 value at that point in the draft, so felt good about that. I 1003 01:04:48,679 --> 01:04:51,599 also felt good about Dance Dance Revolution, honestly. Yeah, that's a good 1004 01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:57,119 one. All right, that's gonna do it for that. I think we 1005 01:04:57,159 --> 01:05:00,960 have one last section here. We need to catch up on what's going on 1006 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,400 with the Fantasy Critical League is and we have like a full rundown of that, 1007 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:09,280 right Sean, we do, which I will need one more break to 1008 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,079 set up for sounds good, Right, We'll be back right after this, 1009 01:05:16,519 --> 01:05:20,840 all right, boys, I just can't wait till the Joker too comes out. 1010 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:25,519 But in the meantime, I'll try to feel something with these Fantasy Critic 1011 01:05:25,599 --> 01:05:29,760 results brought to you by Turber Sean, who is brought to you by Benji 1012 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:36,000 Bop. Right, is I empowered by Benji Bop? So I love that 1013 01:05:39,159 --> 01:05:43,800 much of like the the voting on the draft that we did before. This 1014 01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,239 is another thing that we're doing for our podcast producers, which you know, 1015 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,519 anyone can't join in if they're a supporter of the show, so Patreon, 1016 01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:54,599 dot com, slash Games, or hey, if you're a YouTube member as 1017 01:05:54,639 --> 01:05:58,440 well, which some people became tonight and also get over at the discord or 1018 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,119 their discord.

So anyways, what we have 1020 01:06:03,559 --> 01:06:10,400 here is a recap I guess we're doing roughly bi monthly or something of what's 1021 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:15,559 going on in our Fantasy Critic draft game. We like to do a variety 1022 01:06:15,599 --> 01:06:20,800 of Metacritic open crick prediction stuff, as listeners of the show know, and 1023 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:26,039 this is the fantasy sports style game that we do with this, and so 1024 01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,639 here we have from Benji Bob, who organizes all this stuff. Thank you 1025 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,960 very much, Bob, as always summary of what's been going on for the 1026 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,320 past month and a half or so. Now, just like last time, 1027 01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:40,639 Jeff, if you are so inclined, I would like your very special skill 1028 01:06:40,679 --> 01:06:42,719 to be used on this next slide here. Yeah, I'll do what I 1029 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,679 can, thank you, sir. All right, we are starting off, 1030 01:06:45,719 --> 01:06:49,199 and of course Adam Asleep has a huge lead with Nick Turbo not far behind, 1031 01:06:49,199 --> 01:06:54,239 but then there is a bunch of people falling behind whoa immediately though, 1032 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:59,119 GameCube Chris takes a big lead, jumps ahead, right ahead of Doctor Ryan, 1033 01:06:59,159 --> 01:07:03,199 Nick Turbell hanging lat did that. That was the big Bolotro move. 1034 01:07:03,239 --> 01:07:06,159 Bilotro was the best thing to do. And then Final Fantasy seven Rebirth comes 1035 01:07:06,159 --> 01:07:10,519 out and that keeps game c Chris in the lead, but then Tyler James 1036 01:07:10,519 --> 01:07:15,000 Bay able to get into second place. Expeditions A mud Runner games launches alongside 1037 01:07:15,079 --> 01:07:17,679 Unicorn Overlord, and there's a little bit of movement there in the charts, 1038 01:07:17,679 --> 01:07:21,559 with Corey Williams going to the top six or seven there, but still at 1039 01:07:21,639 --> 01:07:27,239 number one GameCube Chris followed by Tyler James Bay and number three is Doctor Ryan. 1040 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,119 Yeah, and it's still moving. There's very little movement, very few 1041 01:07:30,159 --> 01:07:32,719 game releases happening anymore at this point. We're getting towards the end of March, 1042 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,480 but there's Dragon's Dogma two and big movement there. Doctor Lynch takes the 1043 01:07:36,519 --> 01:07:41,800 first place with the movement from Dragons Dogma two. GameCube Chris not far behind 1044 01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,559 low Rull Legend also in third place, now forty seven point six points. 1045 01:07:45,599 --> 01:07:47,960 Tyler James Bay rounding out the top four with forty seven point three points. 1046 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:54,360 RAZI will get some there with Pepper Grinder as well. Yeah uh, and 1047 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,360 that's the end of March. I think your graf was, by the way, 1048 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,039 is in cropped properly on the obs scene. Oh yeah, let me 1049 01:07:59,119 --> 01:08:01,320 fix that for you. Every it's mostly there. It might be a little 1050 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,960 low reserent video version anyway. So that's excellent tag team there, boys, 1051 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:11,039 I really appreciate so that that leads Doctor Lyncha so far in the lead at 1052 01:08:11,119 --> 01:08:15,520 fifty point three points at the end of March. Now this could this doesn't 1053 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,159 mean everything because obvious a lot of people just maybe haven't had games come out 1054 01:08:18,239 --> 01:08:21,600 yet. Yes, I got some I guess some more stats for you boys 1055 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:28,319 here too. To expound upon that a little bit. So noble releases of 1056 01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:30,319 the period. I won't read the scores for all of them and what it 1057 01:08:30,359 --> 01:08:34,319 means and for everything, but we have follow Fantasy Sound Rebirth at the top, 1058 01:08:34,359 --> 01:08:39,479 and then in descending order of score. I found out this. This 1059 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:45,039 broke my brain. Apparently it is balatrow that that hurt me. Yeah, 1060 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,159 because it's an actual like Latin word. It's a Latin Barb. Yeah, 1061 01:08:49,159 --> 01:08:56,439 it refers to like like an actual goof Joker. Yeah. Well, but 1062 01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,359 then I realized the only people I've heard say it are basically Jan and Grub. 1063 01:08:59,399 --> 01:09:03,319 I'm like, oh, yeah, okay, okay. Anyways, Balatrow, 1064 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:09,079 Balatro, however youone pronounce it Unicorn, Overlord, Dragon's Dogma two, 1065 01:09:09,119 --> 01:09:13,079 Pacific Drive, Penny's Big Breakaway, Raise, La Ronan, Princess Peach, 1066 01:09:13,119 --> 01:09:15,720 Showtime Alone in the Dark, and South Park snow Day, all with varying 1067 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:21,960 scores from Reverse ninety two on Open Critic just South Park's sixty one. So 1068 01:09:23,039 --> 01:09:25,680 whatever one picked her in this period is definitely going to affect things here. 1069 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,880 Here, I'll I'll just read who's at the top of each leader board for 1070 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:34,199 each of the divisions Game mess Critiques, which is BOP's League we U two 1071 01:09:34,319 --> 01:09:40,439 featuring Bono Nice from Tiger James bab fantastic name, just absolutely excellent in the 1072 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:45,039 lead there with forty seven points. We have lastly, Critique Dogs that should 1073 01:09:45,039 --> 01:09:49,560 be Mikey's League, where Razzle Jazzled is leading with publisher Tycoon forty six points. 1074 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:55,439 Closest to the MESSI Critic thats BOP's League. Gamecub Chris is leading there 1075 01:09:55,479 --> 01:10:01,319 with their nin ten Colm publisher forty eight points on the board. Critical jeopardy 1076 01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:09,439 is my league where beef Hammer eleven crown pophy Do you acknowledge that is leading 1077 01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:17,640 with the jan O Chu Chu Choa Express and his thirty seven points critique bros. 1078 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:23,560 I believe this is Aja's league where doctor Lynch is leading with Doctor Lynch's 1079 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:30,079 mean Fantasy Crik Machine parentheses. Sok is good with fifty points, and that 1080 01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:34,039 means that the top ten overall leaderboard looks as follows. Doctor Lynch is in 1081 01:10:34,079 --> 01:10:38,359 the lead, as Mike said, with those fifty points GameCube Chris, and 1082 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:42,479 second with forty eight and Low Rule Legend with forty seven. If you want 1083 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,520 to see where else people at place, let's just check out the video ors 1084 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:50,119 it for yourself. The captain's leaderboard, on the other hand, heure we 1085 01:10:50,279 --> 01:10:56,239 have in order at the top is yours, truly Turbo Shawn with my Crystal 1086 01:10:56,319 --> 01:11:00,680 Dynamics Crystal with a K of course publisher twenty five points, zero nine points. 1087 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,359 Now why do I have that and everyone else on board? Not so 1088 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:08,319 much because I had Final Fantasy Sound Rebirth in Mina, which did very well 1089 01:11:08,319 --> 01:11:12,319 for me if anyone doesn't know if it's any points that a game scores over 1090 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,960 ninety on open creak is worth double the points in our league, So big 1091 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:23,319 scores there. Benji Bops BOP's Shadow Drops got twelve point six one points with 1092 01:11:23,359 --> 01:11:28,239 a variety of smaller releases Brothers a Tale of Two Sons remake. He got 1093 01:11:28,239 --> 01:11:32,640 Expeditions as well and counterpicked Splittoon three side or DLC, which I believe I'm 1094 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:38,079 actually negative points here if we're I'm reading this correctly. Uh. Jeff Grubb 1095 01:11:38,279 --> 01:11:42,039 with stunt Race FX on those host gaming guy, Yeah, so good, 1096 01:11:42,159 --> 01:11:47,640 that's so good place right Timehart third place with zero points with A. J. 1097 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:56,439 Manati's Adge Games. But interestingly, Mike Manati's Rocket Mike Adventures is in 1098 01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:01,039 the whole negative six point two to one points because he counter picked Riiseley Road 1099 01:12:01,119 --> 01:12:04,439 in which actually, if my math is done right there, it means that 1100 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:08,079 I scored a seventy six on open correct. Yeah, I guess that just 1101 01:12:08,079 --> 01:12:12,039 sport below a seventy for him to gain points, and look, I stand 1102 01:12:12,039 --> 01:12:15,720 by that. So yet to yet to counterpick something and better that than something 1103 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:19,800 that's going to be scoring the eighties or whatever, And so my bigger worry 1104 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:24,760 is that one of my games, Like so my games right now are Star 1105 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,840 Wars, Outlaws, Visions of Mana, and then unannounced the mainline three D 1106 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,279 Mario platforms. So that's my real problems. I don't think that's coming out 1107 01:12:31,319 --> 01:12:33,920 anymore. So I have a lot of spots I need to fill up in 1108 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,840 this thing pretty soon here, and you're right, like I was forced to 1109 01:12:38,159 --> 01:12:40,680 counterpick something too that was kind of I think, pretty late in the game, 1110 01:12:41,119 --> 01:12:44,479 and so I had to counterpick Space Marine two kind of hoping maybe that 1111 01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,159 gets another delay or something, because I think that game could easily be in 1112 01:12:47,199 --> 01:12:50,039 the seventies. So I'll be right there with you, losing at least that 1113 01:12:50,399 --> 01:12:55,760 many points. I think I have a flight simulator down Trail and Dragon Quest 1114 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,680 three h D two D. Man This one's a lot harder because there's so 1115 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,239 many peop I'm paying attention, as opposed to the Giant Bomb one, where 1116 01:13:01,279 --> 01:13:05,920 I was able to get Bilotro kind of easily for a dollar, but next 1117 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:11,079 time, no one knew. We none of us knew. That's such a 1118 01:13:11,079 --> 01:13:14,960 good website Jane talked about on the BombCast, one of the most popular video 1119 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,119 gaming podcasts in the world. Yeah, and you got it like right after 1120 01:13:17,159 --> 01:13:21,920 the show you anyways, that's going to do it for our summary for this 1121 01:13:23,039 --> 01:13:25,600 period. I like I said, this is a nice little thing that we 1122 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:30,199 like to do to say thank you to all the podcast producers. The league 1123 01:13:30,279 --> 01:13:33,079 is full, but like with last time, sometimes people drop out if they're 1124 01:13:33,119 --> 01:13:35,760 not really feeling the game. And if a spot opens up, I'll let 1125 01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:39,560 everyone know in the next update and then you can reach out to BOP if 1126 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,039 you would like to pick up that spot and play for the rest of the 1127 01:13:42,119 --> 01:13:45,399 year. Because this is this is a battle to the end of the year, 1128 01:13:45,399 --> 01:13:47,560 and we were only a third right through, so anything could happen, 1129 01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,760 anything could change. Who knows where we're gonna end up when it's all said 1130 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,600 done. What do I get my super drop? Is super drop to come 1131 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,479 come later in the year or do we not have super drops? It's a 1132 01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,600 super drop. I think we just have them now, don't we. I 1133 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,199 thought it says I have zero super drops available in my thing. Maybe I 1134 01:14:03,279 --> 01:14:08,119 use about that the logistics there, but we do near gear counter picks by 1135 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,680 a certain time too. I believe that's September. September first is when we 1136 01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:13,760 get that, Benji, Bob, he says, that's when we get the 1137 01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:15,920 super drop. Okay, interesting, right there we go, so you can't 1138 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,560 fill it up before then if I'm like wanting to get games between now and 1139 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,399 then, interesting? Cool? All right, Well, thank you for that, 1140 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:26,520 Bob, Thank you for that, Sean Uh, thank you for losing 1141 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:30,039 to me so far. And that Mike helps after a r K draft. 1142 01:14:30,039 --> 01:14:32,079 I appreciate it, and that's something I'll take it, all right. But 1143 01:14:32,119 --> 01:14:34,319 I think what we should do now is get the hell out of here. 1144 01:14:34,319 --> 01:14:36,920 What do you say, why don't you read the super chats first? If 1145 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:41,840 we haven't super chats first, that's interesting. That's a good thought. I 1146 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,439 guess that's a good idea, all right? From layers, I got a 1147 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:49,159 back bund control from my newist Samsung phone, and like all the streaming and 1148 01:14:49,199 --> 01:14:53,399 emulation it can handle. I want to tempt myself to get a steam Deck, 1149 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,479 though. Do you think the upgrade is worth it? Yes? I 1150 01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:02,560 do. Now, if you're be using the backbone controller on your phone, 1151 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,399 you're a better person than I am. I don't think. I don't actually 1152 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:10,319 enjoy doing that. But even in your case, I think the steam Deck 1153 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,560 is an improvement I would like. I think I would point to think Greg 1154 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,239 Miller used to do the backbone thing a lot. I think he also enjoys 1155 01:15:15,239 --> 01:15:18,520 his steam deck quite a bit. So I think for your kind of people, 1156 01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,880 you will get a lot of use out of it. Jacob Bench said, 1157 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,119 is it bad that I haven't played any of these games? Talking about 1158 01:15:25,119 --> 01:15:27,560 our ka games? No, but it probably means you're not in your thirties. 1159 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,640 Yeah that it just means that you're a younger person, which you are. 1160 01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,640 Bench right, Yeah, probably. Uh. The Andrews said, how 1161 01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,560 do you all miss Cruising Usay? And Silent Scope? I thought about Cruising 1162 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:42,039 usas in USA, there's even as popular as that was. There's better racing 1163 01:15:42,039 --> 01:15:45,000 games to pick. Silent Scope, I guess might have been interesting. I 1164 01:15:45,039 --> 01:15:48,640 don't know Soundscope's fun even. It's probably just something about that made me kind 1165 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:53,000 of uncomfortable, like, oh, this is a real cold, uh soul 1166 01:15:53,159 --> 01:15:57,119 swing that can murder people, isn't it? Yep? And then Mike says, 1167 01:15:57,119 --> 01:16:00,319 love you guys. I know you guys have been down on a w 1168 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,960 I prefer it personally. Last night's show excluded. Is it really that bad? 1169 01:16:03,079 --> 01:16:06,239 No? Fifty minute promos low this is the first super tefferent. Mike 1170 01:16:06,279 --> 01:16:11,880 think so much. Man, I was such an AW writer die for a 1171 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:15,880 while there, Like I wasn't. The elites got me back into wrestling when 1172 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,560 I was out of it. I was at the first all in. I 1173 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:24,600 was so excited those first couple of years of AAW. I wish I remember 1174 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,560 did this, But I saw somebody saying this today and it was about them 1175 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,920 airing that backstage footage stuff of punk where there was a time where AW felt 1176 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,840 like this real premium, kind of prestige product, and maybe it's not as 1177 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:39,079 popular. It was kind of like, you know, maybe AW or maybe 1178 01:16:39,119 --> 01:16:44,479 like like WWE, it's Kia and AW is like a Lexus or something. 1179 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,640 I don't know, that's always many of them, but there's something premium about 1180 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:50,359 it, and it seems like AW desperately wants to be a Kia also, 1181 01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,760 and you know, hey, the AW like wrestling is always a bit of 1182 01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,720 a Carnie show. I get it. But there was something about just showing 1183 01:16:58,199 --> 01:17:03,600 that footage as some weird like attempt to get back at cmpunk that felt kind 1184 01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,439 of trashy and it wasn't successful, right, I mean, I even if 1185 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:10,199 you like it, bumped the ratings a bit, which of course it did. 1186 01:17:10,239 --> 01:17:12,680 But well, of course it did that. But I mean, like, 1187 01:17:13,199 --> 01:17:15,279 did anyone come out of it looking better? I don't get the sense 1188 01:17:15,279 --> 01:17:18,439 that people are like I saw a lot of people like this proves that cmpunk 1189 01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,720 everything you said was true. I'm like, it was that the problem. 1190 01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,760 I don't think anyone was like, oh, he was lying about that. 1191 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,119 I think the problem is that he choked a person. But right, but 1192 01:17:26,159 --> 01:17:28,319 like I think I did. I think a lot of people like, yeah, 1193 01:17:28,319 --> 01:17:30,920 that's what sampunk said happened, and it is like you watch it, 1194 01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,319 and it is it is kind of almost like in some ways, it was 1195 01:17:33,359 --> 01:17:36,239 almost not as intense as I was expecting. Right, It's like, yeah, 1196 01:17:36,279 --> 01:17:40,159 I mean I guess those two people had to scuffle backstage, and hey, 1197 01:17:40,159 --> 01:17:43,000 look cmpunk should have been fired. He clearly was no longer gefit at 1198 01:17:43,039 --> 01:17:47,399 AW. But nothing was really accomplished by showing that. I you know, 1199 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:54,560 I missed when AW was really leaning into the quote unquote sports sport based presentation, 1200 01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:58,960 right, like even less storyline stuff, you know, like when they 1201 01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,359 were talking about rank kings and things like that. AW still has a ton 1202 01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:06,199 of good wrestlers. When they do like big events. They usually are almost 1203 01:18:06,399 --> 01:18:12,079 always good because those wrestlers go out there and they wrestle real good. But 1204 01:18:12,119 --> 01:18:15,680 there's just there's just some weirdness with AW right now, especially at a time 1205 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:20,800 when WWE is just kind of doing a lot, right, Yeah, and 1206 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:26,680 wrestling's up and down all the time. So while aw's down at the moment, 1207 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,920 like, people are watching t and a impact again. So if TNA 1208 01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,239 can have a resurgence, AEW certain can, so they'll they you need to 1209 01:18:35,279 --> 01:18:39,560 get stuff cleaned up. You know. WW was down in a pretty bad 1210 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,560 way not too long ago, and now they're on top of the world. 1211 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,319 So these things will come and go. I will be watching AW here and 1212 01:18:45,359 --> 01:18:48,800 there, and I'm sure they'll have some sort of resurgence. All right, 1213 01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:54,199 Mike, I'm gonna have the button hit it, all right, everybody, 1214 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,880 We're gonna get out of here. Mike, what do you got going on? 1215 01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,199 I think I might be on some stuff tomorrow at BOMB, though I 1216 01:19:00,239 --> 01:19:02,760 don't know what it is or what's happening. What's happening? Can you do 1217 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:04,960 the upf thing for me? Yes? I meant to reply, and I 1218 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,880 did in my head, and I never did to you directly? Can you 1219 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:10,720 do the Fallout thing? Oh? Yeah, you want me to play your 1220 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:14,159 mods? Yeah, pretty much? Yeah, which which Fallout games should I 1221 01:19:14,199 --> 01:19:16,199 install? Nothing? You don't do anything, it's all on my part part. 1222 01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,960 Yes, I got all setups, so okay, I've done the work 1223 01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,119 there. I'm gonna do a little bit more work to make sure it all 1224 01:19:23,159 --> 01:19:26,600 works and functions, but I believe it does. Uh so yeah, that'll 1225 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:30,600 be fun. Basically, we're gonna have Mike play a very moded version of 1226 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,640 Fallout four, So last chance to send your tweets to me with like suggestions 1227 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:38,359 for mods. The sillier the better, of course, but anything really goes. 1228 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:42,359 I think I've already installed like one hundred so god, yeah, it's 1229 01:19:42,359 --> 01:19:45,920 gonna it's gonna be messed up. That'll be happening on Giant Bomb tomorrow. 1230 01:19:45,319 --> 01:19:48,560 Do you have any plans for the weekend, Bud. I think we're going 1231 01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:53,560 going out some friends tomorrow night. There might be something else. I don't 1232 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,960 know. I'd like to do nothing, but I think I had to socialize 1233 01:19:56,039 --> 01:19:59,720 it and stuff. Yeah, I understand, I'm gonna I think I'm gonna 1234 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:01,159 try to nothing, but I probably have a plan, and you know, 1235 01:20:01,199 --> 01:20:04,199 I think Steph's got a trip coming up pretty soon. That's gonna be a 1236 01:20:04,199 --> 01:20:08,000 headache. I need to figure out how I'm going to handle work when that's 1237 01:20:08,039 --> 01:20:10,720 happening, because then the kids get off the bus. I gotta like leave 1238 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:14,079 shows in the middle of it. So we'll Seah five more thumbs up. 1239 01:20:14,399 --> 01:20:16,720 Don't make me force the awkward silence. I'll make Jeff stop the music. 1240 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:21,680 The music. What are you doing. I'm not gonna stop the music. 1241 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:26,039 And we got so far. Mike yells at me that I will. But 1242 01:20:26,159 --> 01:20:30,159 yeah, now I believe in them. They're gonna step button. It's gonna 1243 01:20:30,159 --> 01:20:32,520 be like, it's gonna be great and give me what he needs. I 1244 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:36,159 tried. I tried playing Mortal Come Mythologies yesterday and it just wasn't happening. 1245 01:20:36,239 --> 01:20:40,680 I just couldn't get a run going. I tried for like an hour and 1246 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,399 thirty minutes, and I could not get out of stage two yesterday for some 1247 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:46,079 reason. Do you think is that just a bad funk or you need a 1248 01:20:46,119 --> 01:20:48,960 break or a little funk. I'm not gonna try to. I think I'm 1249 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:53,960 not gonna speed run it this weekend at least. Maybe maybe don't, Yeah, 1250 01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,960 maybe take a little bit of a break because I mean, I'm gonna 1251 01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,359 have to start grinding again as a problem. But it's hard to grind. 1252 01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,680 Can't get out of stage two. Mike Manati never stops grinding everybody until next 1253 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,239 time. I have a good one. Take care of yourself and good bye 1254 01:21:05,279 --> 01:21:36,199 it. Wait, you sound like Beaker by Dixie, Jeff. Most people 1255 01:21:36,399 --> 01:21:40,960 are beating it right now. Oh good. I don't want to be racist, 1256 01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:45,439 but I think he did it. Yeah, all right, all right, 1257 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,199 so cool? Have you good, Mike? Yeah, that's okay. 1258 01:21:49,199 --> 01:21:55,000 I give you a super much a super all right, let's go back into 1259 01:21:55,079 --> 01:21:59,760 it them all right, all right, you get set up on it. 1260 01:22:00,079 --> 01:22:01,920 He knows where that reference is from. Isn't it the evil when you have 1261 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,199 a goateee? That's a community. Yeah, it's Star Trek. I know. 1262 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:16,880 I love Star Trek. It's a community he got it from. You're 1263 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:28,319 killing it dependent like you. Okay, I'm a major mitch. You was 1264 01:22:28,399 --> 01:22:35,279 barely live, eleven loser. It was a good chap. Can't believe you 1265 01:22:35,279 --> 01:22:38,520 guys told me to shoot that yellow thing and then I did and then it 1266 01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:42,640 exploded. That's hurt my feelings, Jeff. I intentionally looked at that thing 1267 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,760 and said, oh, this is a bob and we'll explode. I'm like, 1268 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:49,359 okay, so yeah, let's just move on with our lives. Just 1269 01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,079 I like, I like I walked, I like left it a bunch of 1270 01:22:54,079 --> 01:22:56,359 times. I'm like, you know what, No, I'm gonna go back 1271 01:22:56,399 --> 01:23:01,600 and get the goodies. These cowards were too afraid to get Yeah they got 1272 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:05,920 you good. Yeah I got I got the mech. If you want everyone 1273 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:10,640 to use it, I can lend it to you. Yeah. I would 1274 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:14,199 like that. Yeah, I mean I should just keep playing. Now you 1275 01:23:14,199 --> 01:23:16,159 you were playing that game. I know for a fact that none of you 1276 01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:21,159 want It's just every time I like, here's here's what happens. I get 1277 01:23:21,199 --> 01:23:25,479 done putting the kids to bed, and then I'm like, okay, time 1278 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,079 to go back downstairs. Oh my god, I'm so tired, and then 1279 01:23:28,119 --> 01:23:33,359 I can't do anything other than just they always need on more soldiers. Oh 1280 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,359 yeah, it doesn't work on steam Deck, does it? It does work 1281 01:23:36,359 --> 01:23:40,439 on steam Deck. I just feel yeah, it's it's you can get it 1282 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,920 running on steam Deck. Well enough. It's just I don't know, I 1283 01:23:45,279 --> 01:23:47,960 feel like that that would be like if had I played enough to be super 1284 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,800 comfortable with the game so that I don't feel like, oh I wish I 1285 01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:54,800 had my headset and everything so I could communicate better and all that stuff. 1286 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,880 I don't know, I should just don't get about. The antiitute does work? 1287 01:23:59,359 --> 01:24:01,039 Interesting? Yeah, you know what? Good on Sony? All right, 1288 01:24:01,079 --> 01:24:05,439 cool, Yeah, that's that's pretty cool that they did that. Okay, 1289 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,239 am I ready for this console draft? This this one? How many 1290 01:24:09,239 --> 01:24:12,239 should we do? Should we do? Five? Ye? Should do more 1291 01:24:12,279 --> 01:24:14,920 for a nice council draft? Actually, oh yeah, you usually do, 1292 01:24:15,119 --> 01:24:17,079 but it's the two of us we do more. But I'm like, I 1293 01:24:17,119 --> 01:24:26,640 don't know how well I feel like five. We're gonna we're gonna do the 1294 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,399 fancy correct recap we're doing at the end of the show to make sure that 1295 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:34,680 things are very properly paced because these guys can't control themselves. Yeah, that's 1296 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:40,760 right. You say that like it's a it's an insult. It's like just 1297 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:45,920 facts. It was an insult set ups while I was gone, Were you 1298 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,760 just chatting with these fuckers? It's listen, it's like most of the way 1299 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:55,960 there, you're correct. I just gotta turn actually I just got to turn 1300 01:24:55,960 --> 01:25:00,479 on the source and them. Oh I was gonna say, Nikki perfectly cut 1301 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,439 the clip for Social. At the end, I just say, you shut 1302 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:10,600 the bomb ship cool. That went to Social, wonderful. Yeah, I 1303 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,600 got put that on TikTok if they didn't all right, the robots were commonists 1304 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:25,520 boom. But I wasna I was gonna disappointed that they brought back the butt. 1305 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,239 I wanted them to like at least like four days without the butts, 1306 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,399 they should bring it back. It was the next day, right, yeah, 1307 01:25:34,199 --> 01:25:40,279 because I didn't realize how sort of living world that game is. My 1308 01:25:40,399 --> 01:25:45,520 fucking game, it's neat. I went back to Destiny. It's pretty good, 1309 01:25:45,159 --> 01:25:49,640 pretty good, and you should pretty good. It's well, no, 1310 01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:53,159 next month, he'll he'll say it's the worst thing in the world. Don't 1311 01:25:53,159 --> 01:26:00,800 you said that? You fucking and ship. I never saw I ever said 1312 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:02,319 that. It's like, it's just like people is too loud, bro, 1313 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,720 It's just like it's a bad battle path sometimes. What are you gonna do? 1314 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:14,039 I think that we are good. We just do you know what sucks? 1315 01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:15,920 Take a deal? See that just sucks. Don't get me started on 1316 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:20,840 that shin. Do you know that only if you don't buy every delC character, 1317 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:27,479 they don't let you use the replay functioning that that has to be oversight. 1318 01:26:28,199 --> 01:26:30,399 No, no, no, but that can't be right. No, 1319 01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:32,880 it's by design. They don't. If you don't own like the DLC character, 1320 01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:36,399 they don't let you use the RU I know, it just feels so 1321 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:42,000 weird. No, it doesn't feel. It feels very this matter ofacut. 1322 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,680 The same people that charge you for frame data. I think there's every fighting 1323 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:50,880 games, like, what are you talking about on purpose? If we found 1324 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:56,359 out that it is on purpose, then yeah and gone. First of all, 1325 01:26:56,359 --> 01:27:00,119 we're never gonna find out because now they're gonna say, oh, we're 1326 01:27:00,119 --> 01:27:01,880 going to either they change it or they don't. That's how we're gonna find 1327 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:05,560 out. And we're gonna find out the hard one and everyone chat. No 1328 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:10,439 no, no tips. Please. Our ability to remember what games are from 1329 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:15,760 the nineties or not as important on this. I'm gonna deplete this message real 1330 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:20,039 quick. Okay, well, and we don't shoot you forever. I think 1331 01:27:20,359 --> 01:27:26,479 that I am ready from are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. We're 1332 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:30,520 gonna bring it back in me. Yeah, I'll talk about let's go, 1333 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,640 I mean, okay, we'll figure it out, all right, now, 1334 01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:38,279 talk about it. We should do the fantasy thing as like the last thing. 1335 01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,439 Yeah, let's do the last fantasy thing first, because then that gives 1336 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,520 people time to vote in that and then we'll do it. But we can 1337 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,760 talk about our games that we've been playing. Okay, I just think fantasy 1338 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,399 should be last. I think that's kind of insider baseball for anybody who's not 1339 01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:55,479 involved with that. So right, there's a lot of audience that doesn't participate 1340 01:27:55,479 --> 01:28:00,439 in that stuff. Okay, let's see here or what am I? Okay, 1341 01:28:02,399 --> 01:28:05,600 so said riders, I should should have done the Moo cow the Moo 1342 01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:10,760 Cowboys of Moo Mesa or whatever, the real cowboys of Moo Mesa, whatever 1343 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:14,920 the fuck it's called you in Argentina. You wouldn't win with any of this 1344 01:28:15,119 --> 01:28:20,279 list because there's no FIFA game. Yeah game, I guess I don't know 1345 01:28:20,319 --> 01:28:26,960 if this is just football, Okay for sure? Sure, Okay, all 1346 01:28:27,039 --> 01:28:31,520 right, that's the wrong Okay, were we were told so plank blank would 1347 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:39,680 have been good? I think blank would have been good. Point Blake is 1348 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,279 a lot of fun, but it just doesn't feel like most people don't know 1349 01:28:42,319 --> 01:28:45,760 about Plint Blake. Yeah, but they should. They should. It's messed 1350 01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:49,920 up. Also, Ken Fighter for sure. Yeah, I thought about like 1351 01:28:50,199 --> 01:28:54,199 maybe, but I don't know. No. For Argentina, I mean, 1352 01:28:54,960 --> 01:29:00,439 oh, Argentina big and the King of Fighters scene, you had no idea. 1353 01:29:00,039 --> 01:29:05,680 Yeah, that's that's a Latin America Kino fighter. Mexico is kind of 1354 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:12,520 one of the biggest Kin of Fighters countries. Okay, Uh, the poll 1355 01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:19,199 is going right now, and I gotta say, I think I think I 1356 01:29:19,279 --> 01:29:24,079 did it. Let's see. I feel good about this one. Yes, 1357 01:29:24,119 --> 01:29:30,199 it's really okay about the Beacha games, what you've been playing, and then 1358 01:29:30,399 --> 01:29:38,760 we do the results results, right, yep? Cool, all right, 1359 01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,720 And like Mike, Mike said, this is like inside baseball stuff, so 1360 01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:46,520 you know we don't yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're going to 1361 01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,079 be sending something to me.

The intermode following the release of Destiny Too into the like of the 1364 01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:01,720 games, player count on the screen double overnight. We just gotta let him 1365 01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,159 go once it gets started, you have to just let him go. Yeah, 1366 01:30:04,199 --> 01:30:10,720 you're right, glad, you're having fun. I guess I love what 1367 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:15,199 Jeff when you said that about that fucking Joker shows so good. I just 1368 01:30:15,279 --> 01:30:19,920 like these people are like, oh my god, they drew a smiley face 1369 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:24,720 on the window. Can you believe it?

I'm sorry, y'all it was. 1375 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:46,840 It's okay, it's okay if you like it. I just it's not 1376 01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:53,720 for me. It's not okay with me if you like it. There was 1377 01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:57,800 a tweet today someone's like these movies. It's like someone was brave enough to 1378 01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:03,000 wonder what if a guy sucked and made Yeah, oh what if a guy 1379 01:31:03,239 --> 01:31:08,319 sucked? But also, no, man's an island? Right, I got 1380 01:31:08,399 --> 01:31:11,680 that's like what happens if a man is an island? I think Actually, 1381 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:15,439 me and I asked, you guys actually hate Joker. It's not hate. 1382 01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:21,880 This is not hate. Uh, it's ships ship talk.

When did when did Harley Quinn become like 1385 01:31:30,199 --> 01:31:34,399 sexy? Because like in the animated series, she was mostly just I know, 1386 01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:36,239 like yeah, sure, I know for some people, but like she 1387 01:31:36,359 --> 01:31:42,119 was mostly just a goober. No, there no, always has been people 1388 01:31:42,359 --> 01:31:45,840 people did think that she was pretty sexy in the curtains right away, especially 1389 01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:51,720 before the transformation and knowing what's underneath the costume is half the battle exactly, 1390 01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:57,560 it's a battle, huh okay. I remember playing Arkhama sign for the first 1391 01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,399 time and seeing like hurts and I'd be like whoa oh and if to me 1392 01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:03,479 it felt like that. Like shortly after that was when I started seeing like 1393 01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:09,560 everyone's very popular college play around that time after and like that movie happened, 1394 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:15,640 everybody in the world had that little girl costume on that DC realized a long 1395 01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,319 time ago that they didn't have legs, and they started sexying out their characters 1396 01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:23,039 like the two thousands. That's when that all happened. I see, I 1397 01:32:23,279 --> 01:32:26,640 have everything up and ready to go. All right, ray, when you 1398 01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:28,720 guys are all right, leta bring us back in
