WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:27.879
Mmmm, it's the final Tuesday.
That's not actually true at all. Yeah,

2
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.600
that that is true, bide.
Yeah, they originally started as calling

3
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.479
it the final Tuesday, and then
they're like, you know, it just

4
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.439
doesn't really make a lot of sense. Also, technically not the final Tuesday.

5
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.679
There's gonna be one next week.
Oh that's right, So we're still

6
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.119
good. Okay, Yeah, one
more Tuesday and twenty fifteen. But this

7
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:48.280
is the last time will be in
this room. It is ever ever No,

8
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.960
not, no, that's at some
point there will be in at some

9
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.119
point in twenty sixteen, there will
be well, let's assuming twenty sixteen.

10
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.039
If you'll get to work, yeah, I'm working on I mean, you

11
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:00.359
know, it's been a rough couple
of weeks, man, lots of moving

12
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.159
and stuff. You don't have anything
going on, No, not not at

13
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.879
home, not at work. Always
been a lazy man, I am always

14
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.319
said about Jason. Yeah, yeah, just doesn't doesn't like to move.

15
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.319
No, not at all. When
you asked him, he's just like,

16
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.519
yep, I put on a good
show, like, yeah, I got

17
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.400
a rep to protect, right,
right, that's a good call. I'm

18
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:25.200
Jeff, this is the Giant Bomb
cast, and yeah, I'm he joined

19
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.159
by Jason Nastrecker. Are you doing
yo, how's it going good? Yeah?

20
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.760
Yeah, I had a good weekend. Yeah yeah, we'll talk about

21
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.239
it in a bit though. Fantastic
Drew Scanlon this year, I am here.

22
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.640
He also had a weekend I did. Yeah, time past. It's

23
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.120
true, Dan Rockerd, did you
have a weekend? I had a fantastic

24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.079
weekend. All right, I don't
I don't want to hear about it.

25
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.640
I had a weekend. Also,
technically I think everyone listening did too,

26
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.560
Unless I don't want to make any
assumptions. The only people listening that haven't,

27
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.760
yeah, are new babies that were
born in the last Hello, all

28
00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:00.200
new babies, Welcome to the show. Yeah. If this is your first

29
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.879
time listening, and it is,
it's gonna get wed at that. You

30
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:07.159
mightn't want to go back and listen
to one from the last month or so,

31
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.080
because that'll be more indicative of a
regular podcast. This being kind of

32
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.800
our year end extravaganza, there's a
lot of email, a lot of uh

33
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.680
submissions from the folks at home.
That's cool because there's just not that much

34
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.000
news going on. There's not much
other stuff going on. Well, so

35
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.639
let's let's shoot it around real quick. What's what's been going on? Jason?

36
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.560
What what are the what have you
been doing? What's up? I've

37
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.000
been taking care of baby. Seemed
very excited about this, so excited because

38
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.879
I got ken. Yeah, I
guess you do things that I did not

39
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.520
think that I was gonna be able
to do because of the baby. Number

40
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.919
one, I actually got to go
out and see Star Wars with the baby

41
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.039
you brought. You brought a newborn
to a to a movie, to a

42
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.439
Star Wars. That is bold,
is How did that go? Uh?

43
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.759
So we went to a drive in
theater? Smart? Okay, Yeah,

44
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.520
it's the only way to do that, because I would not not bring a

45
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.599
newborn. Was he You know what? He got a little fussy a couple

46
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.879
of times. But the reasoning like
why why in a situation like that?

47
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.599
He was one of those guys,
especially the younger generation, tends yeah for

48
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.400
the prequels. Yeah, but I
mean like in a comfortable car. So

49
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.919
it wasn't a hot or a cold
car, right? No? Was he

50
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.639
well fed? Yeah? He was
well fed. I'm just trying to understand

51
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.919
babies, So, like, what
is going on in that baby's head at

52
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.039
that moment? Where what is it
fussing about? Is there poop in his

53
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.759
pants? Yeah? Okay, so
he's like eight weeks old now and he's

54
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.080
starting to move into more solid poops. Is it just not so for a

55
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.759
while? So it's like there's not
a lot of pooping going on. Does

56
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.199
that make it easier for you?
He's got to learn how to poop.

57
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.240
Previously, the poop would just kind
of come out, Okay, it's un

58
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.560
volition, not always gotta work at
it. Always got like muscles, yea.

59
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.199
And we're doing like legs, stretching
muscles, and I'm kind of folding

60
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.479
him in half and stuff to try
and force out the poop. He hasn't

61
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.159
pooped in like two days, so
I'm a little worried about that. But

62
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.560
huh yeah, anyway, I'll figure
it out. Yeah, he was the

63
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.800
end of fussing. You know,
if he gets hungry, you know,

64
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.479
he'll fuss a little bit. I've
gone three days before, man, don't

65
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.599
yes, let you start worrying that. Just sometimes you get out on the

66
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.639
road and just you know, your
schedule changes and everything gets weird. Yeah.

67
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.039
Yeah, when you fall out of
that schedule, it's it's it's real

68
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.159
tough. To the minute I hit
a hotel room. It's all bets are

69
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.240
off. You just never know what's
gonna happen. That's chaos every time we

70
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:15.920
go to packs. It's just like, no, I don't know, I

71
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:18.160
didn't poop for the duration to pack. That's probably not okay, right,

72
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.240
Oh well, so he fussed,
I mean a little bit, but actually

73
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.759
he got super excited during like really
exciting scenes. He was looking at it

74
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.399
like his baby eyes can see screens
and stuff. Yeah, like I know

75
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.360
it takes a while for eyes to
form or whatever. He totally Yeah,

76
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.639
his eyes are fully formed and they're
starting to focus now and he can see

77
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.839
stuff. So he can see lightsabers. Yeah, he can see lightsabers and

78
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.040
X wings in particular. He got
super excited. Yeah. I don't know

79
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.519
a spoiler or anything, but trailer
there's some space battles that happened in the

80
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.000
Star Wars. I'm just saying,
yeah, there's some some ships and yeah,

81
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.920
fucking man, I've been trying to
Sorry, sorry, all right.

82
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.360
No, he thoroughly enjoyed it,
and man, that is the way to

83
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.680
do that with a with a baby. So, yeah, it was a

84
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.079
nice comfortable car. Do you tune
in a radio station, so it's an

85
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.639
FM station. The tune in a
very short range, of course, and

86
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.959
we initially started getting a little bit
of feedback, so it's like, oh,

87
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.920
fuck, this is the worst idea
ever. We moved the car up

88
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.600
one foot and it was crystal clear. Wow. So I mean it was

89
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.279
like another station coming in. Like
no, it was just like country tunes

90
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.920
drifting across your store. That would
have been great, but yeah, no,

91
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.279
it was just just static. But
yeah, it was fun, like,

92
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.920
you know, we went up,
we got supplies, we got snacks.

93
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.759
I got the best. I got
a Mike's Hard lemonade with Deadpool on

94
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.720
it because I thought that would be
awesome and work in your car to drink

95
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.800
in my car. That would be
super easy to just buy the you know,

96
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.480
normal price snacks yep, on the
outside world. That yeah, you

97
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.319
know, that's also a huge myth
about standard movie theaters too, is that

98
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.000
you can you can totally just bring
in like no one's ever going to stop

99
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.720
you from bringing in your own food. It's not like you have to be

100
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.800
all sneaky, and that's that's not
true at all. Really. Yeah,

101
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.079
I worked, I was a supervisor
for years. I know that you've proven

102
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.519
on timeless accounts that you were probably
not the best man. I just say

103
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.879
at all, that's oh, I
was terrible at my job. But real

104
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.920
managers that were suits and made important
decisions would tell us like, yeah,

105
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.639
it's just this huge urban legend that
you can't bring your own food. Like

106
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:15.959
somebody could bring in a giant tub
a popcorn, somebody could bring in a

107
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.240
whole birthday cake and we wouldn't stop
them. Yeah, like that, that

108
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.319
was like a company thing, they
said. That's my manager said. It's

109
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.000
like, yeah, everyone thinks they
have to sneak it in, but no,

110
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.720
just there's no rule against. So
I managed a movie theater for you

111
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.000
know, a couple of years,
right, and I know i'd get no

112
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.680
in in Walsa, Wisconsin. Okay, Roger's Theater. It's not a nightclub

113
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.319
anyway. I never caught anybody,
But man, I would be so pissed

114
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.199
if people actually snuck food in because
that's that's where we made our money rising

115
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.439
on ticket sales. That's going to
use. It's not going to Buena Vista,

116
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.079
going right in my pocket. Yeah, yeah, no, that's that's

117
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.399
I've I've definitely seen people go like, hey, you can't bring that in

118
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.600
here really, yeah, and I
don't think they were informed correctly. Why

119
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.240
I've I've worked, like my time
at a movie theater was mostly behind the

120
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.480
scenes in the film delivery end of
things. Oh yeah, yeah, I

121
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.199
remember a very dark business, very
lucretive. It is. It was lucrative

122
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:11.079
because we were yeah we were charging
yeah well I know, yeah, no,

123
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.879
we were, but we also that
we also blew out the suspension in

124
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.959
my mom's bronco I think by feeling
it full of film cans. But yeah,

125
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.680
those tins are heavy. Yeah,
that's heavy. And we were delivered

126
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.680
to like five six different theaters,
so we'd have like five six theaters worth

127
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.439
of movies, dear God, in
the back of this thing. Yeah,

128
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.120
because it's probably the usually at least
like, you know, four tins.

129
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.879
Those are probably at least twenty eight
pounds. Ye're huge. Yeah, and

130
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.160
then you'd have to swil them together
and stuff, splice them and stuff.

131
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.120
Man, I miss that, you
don't you don't. Yeah, everything's digital

132
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.120
now, yeah, So do they
do they do you download it from like

133
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.079
they send a hard drive. Oh, it's a physical hard drive. It's

134
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.319
hard drive, and it's in the
big like Pelican case as well. So

135
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.040
it's it's hard case with foam and
stuff. And yeah, it's a drive

136
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.639
that you put, you know,
uh into your rack essentially, and it's

137
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.959
all encrypted, all encoded and stuff. Interface. Uh, it's a there

138
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.120
is a doggle. Yeah. I
think in some cases, I was wan

139
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.759
say, don't they do I want
to say, they do online authentication,

140
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.319
now I wouldn't have to decrypt stuff. I think that's true. It's like

141
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.800
a Steam preload. How big is
a two hour movie? We're talking like

142
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.000
five hundred gigs, eight terabytes?
Well, I don't know. I don't

143
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.079
know, because I just wonder what
the resolution of those files end up being

144
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.040
or how that. I don't know
enough about the science of that. Yeah,

145
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.240
especially like an imax. Yeah like
that. Yeah, I really don't

146
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.720
know, but I you imagine it's
just fully uncompressed some kind of terabytes of

147
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.200
stuff. I mean, you figure
a blue ray holds about fifty gigs and

148
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.440
that looks pretty good. Yeah,
this is probably bigger than that. Our

149
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:46.120
pro raises a gig a minute.
Yeah that's seven Yeah, that's just god

150
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.679
damn. Yeah, he figures.
But yo, drive ins are cool,

151
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.039
dude, Like there there was a
there was a guy inside of me that

152
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.279
actually rented like a U haul pick
up to go see a Star Wars.

153
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.679
There was a guy inside of you. Don't it is what it sounded like.

154
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.480
You said. Okay, all right. Alongside of things like that probably

155
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.080
can happen. You can drive get
up to whatever you want in your own

156
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.600
car, man, not all.
That's pretty true. Yeah, you know,

157
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.200
you bring lawn chairs and stuff.
The one in Atlanta i'd loved going

158
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.559
to because we could grill out there. So we would just get a bunch

159
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.600
of people together, set up a
grill, coolers full of beer, and

160
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.039
just watch shitty movies. And you
get to take in like two three movies

161
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.960
at a time. It's fantastic.
The last time I went to a drive

162
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.559
in was probably like twenty years ago, and I want to say it was

163
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.159
either Drop Dead Fred or The Rocketeer. I want to go see a drive

164
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.000
in, it'll seem great, like
great choices, right, Yeah. But

165
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.360
I was there with my family and
the audio thing that you get from the

166
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.080
booth or whatever was only playing the
audio from New Jack City which was playing.

167
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:48.480
So I think I was watching like
The Rocketeer with New Jack City dial.

168
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.080
So I haven't seen those like it
stakes up perfectly weirdly enough. Yeah.

169
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:54.879
Yeah, it's like a dark side
of the Lone situation. Not a

170
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.159
lot of people know that. They
haven't done the speaker, you know,

171
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.000
hanging things for all. So it's
a radio thing, yeah idea. Yeah,

172
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.519
but it's pretty cool. So you're
losing a little bit of fidelity off

173
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.480
obviously, but that yeah, bandwidth
is not I mean maybe if they could

174
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.960
get into HD radio, I think
HD radio kind of cool, but I

175
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.720
would actually work. But there are
not enough drive in movie theaters to even

176
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.240
WARNT further developing that technology. Yeah, they're they're a dying braid, like

177
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.840
maybe one hundred or a few hundred
left I think across the US. But

178
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.840
this is actually part of a chain, like the West Wind, Like there's

179
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.159
three or four of them in the
Bay Area, Oakland. Uh no,

180
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.120
this is one I conquered. Yeah, there's a couple down south, they

181
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.399
think, But yeah, I really, yeah, I just I just love

182
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.840
drive in theaters. I think it's
cool. Like normally I would not go

183
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.679
and see a you know, a
really cool movie like Star Wars at a

184
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.200
drive in because I want the theater
experience. Yeah, the sound and whatnot.

185
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.240
But yeah, I got a baby
stuff. So yeah, but yeah,

186
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.919
dude, we made it happen.
I'm really happy that that worked out.

187
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.279
We didn't have to fight for tickets
or anything, worry about its selling

188
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.360
out. Great and no spoilers here
or anything. I know three of us

189
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.879
saw it, and Jeff doesn't care
about spoilers, but thumbs up. Yeah,

190
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.039
across the board here. Yeah.
I liked a lot too. Yeah,

191
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.480
I had a great time with it. I wasn't expecting anything more than

192
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.840
just like, you know, really
fun Star Wars movie. It is definitely

193
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.679
better than all the prequels. Yeah, there's no question about that. That's

194
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.960
the bar these days. Yeah,
and it's downtrodden people got well, at

195
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.840
least it wasn't, you know what. I watched all the Star Wars movies

196
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:26.840
again before this one came out.
Cleared that low bar, and now is

197
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.080
the highest selling. It's also better
than ever for movies. Also better than

198
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.159
the Holiday special, which are you
talking about? Oh boy, that was

199
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.679
I think I think you're just lying. I didn't know, Jefferson. Starship

200
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.799
was on the gosh what they are? Yeah, but have you not seen

201
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.000
it? I've not. I've tried
and b Arthur. Yeah, like b

202
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.600
Arthur was at Asna on it and
it's some weird like creepy family. Yeah,

203
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.399
Like I got to the first Grandpa
puts on like a VR helmet and

204
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.039
there's some like stripper on the inside. This is like holiday special mind you.

205
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.720
Oh, it's really happy life Day, Drew. But I'll say the

206
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.480
Prequels are bad movies. They are
objectively bad movies, but they were fun

207
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.879
to watch like it and kind of
make fun of way. And I wasn't

208
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.919
nearly as like offended as most people. I just kind of said, there's

209
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.559
been this dark trend that's been happening
over the past, like I guess maybe

210
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.720
since this movie came out, or
maybe a little bit before, of people

211
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.759
suddenly going like, oh, Prequels
weren't that bad, which I was a

212
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.080
fuck. Three was not that bad. Three is a pretty okay movie.

213
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.440
One and two are pretty abysmal,
but still fun to watch in a real

214
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.120
dumb way. It's just in how
the fuck, Like I just watched the

215
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.200
entire making of the fans people got
all excited about Star Wars because this one's

216
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.879
good, and now like they're letting
their like Star Wars fan boner go like,

217
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.960
no, these movies were all right. Now it's still Star Wars,

218
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.480
guys. Guys, it's still Star
Wars. It's the Ascension and it's the

219
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.519
rise and fall of Darth Vader.
I mean that's still important stuff. Guys.

220
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.720
It's Cannon, but it's still important
stuff. It's fascinating watching the making

221
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.879
of The Phantom Menace, which the
whole thing is on YouTube. It's like

222
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.679
an hour long, and just seeing
them make it and send it in an

223
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.759
hour explain yeah, yeah, yeah, And just seeing Lucas and then the

224
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.120
producer and everything just look over all
the storyboards and stuff and like they really

225
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.440
think they're making something awesome, Like
they think they're making something just very very

226
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.120
special, and like there's one quick
moment of doubt or George Lucas is like,

227
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.879
I don't know, I don't know
if we're gonna beat Titanic, and

228
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.879
that's the only kind of like,
oh, maybe this won't be the biggest

229
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.200
hit ever type of thing. Like
they seem to be way like he said,

230
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.480
like, oh, jar Jar is
clearly the funniest character we've ever had

231
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.080
in a film. I mean,
you know, it's I think that has

232
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.919
to come along with the realization that
they make this stuff for kids an empire.

233
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.519
Yoda's pretty funny when he's trying to
piss off Luke. I'm degaba.

234
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.720
See yeah, he's funny, okay, But you know, like that's it's

235
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.879
the thing where when we played Disney
Infinity and saw that jar Jar Binks was

236
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.720
in that thing, it was like
that realization of like, oh, wait,

237
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.159
right, they need to cut their
losses with that guy. But I

238
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.559
don't understand what he's still around.
But because kids dig it, because kids

239
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.240
dig it, because kids are because
because Star Wars is for kids. I

240
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.159
mean was it always because like yeah, like they're constantly chopping off arms and

241
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.759
ship and start. Kids were fucking
cooler in the late seventies early eighties.

242
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.879
Yeah, you could show them shit. I saw shit that Like if if

243
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.519
the media that I consumed in the
like as soon as I was able to

244
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.240
consume media, if you showed that
to kids now, they would take your

245
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.200
kids away from you. Uh,
the sort of stuff. But fo PG

246
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.639
thirteen, it seems like PG was
way harder. Yeah, but like Jaws

247
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.840
is PG, and like the Poulter
guy is PG. I've never seen Poulter

248
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.480
guys. There's some there's some scenes. That sounds more spooky than violent though.

249
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.639
Yeah, yeah, that's but they're
here, thing right right, thing

250
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.720
a little girl? Yeah, okay, what's one of the needles. The

251
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.279
guy tears his face off, that's
oh okay. I saw Hell Razor as

252
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.399
at a somewhat young age, like, not not that young. It didn't

253
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.360
come out that not long ago,
but uh yeah, And I don't know,

254
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.039
I went and saw three D movie
where parasites caused people to explode inside

255
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.919
out. Oh god delicious. I
think it was like Demi Moore's first and

256
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.600
I'm guessing as well. It was
all practical effects and they looked real fucked

257
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.000
up. I don't know, you
know, it was all all that's left

258
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.720
in my memory is the scars.
At this point. That was Killer Clowns

259
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.440
Matter Space. For me, that
was my childhood movie that really scared the

260
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.200
shit out of me. So in
sixth grade, I had this sweet ass

261
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.879
Hell Razor jacket. It was like
a baseball jacket, had a New Line

262
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.600
Cinema on it, and then it's
just a a Hell razor on the back.

263
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.279
I thought I was the biggest badass. It sounds like you were.

264
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.279
Yeah, I kind of was with
that jacket. Explains a lot, Yeah

265
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:39.600
about everything that was to follow for
so much badassory since then, any video

266
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.879
game business that you got into,
Yeah, totally. I actually beat Earth

267
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.919
Defense Force, uh four point one, everybody. I just lost every colon

268
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.000
The Shadow of New Despair. Hey
man, there's lots of bugs in that

269
00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.720
game. There's lots of rob Yeah, there's fucking dragons. There's even giant

270
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.320
or robots. There's big giant robots
that turn into a bigger robots. It's

271
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.080
there's a lot of fun to be
had. Despair seems like a good word

272
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.120
to describe an EEDF game. Yeah, I could see that, And I

273
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.559
know I'm not going to sell anybody
on this franchise, but I will say

274
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.720
that there's a lot of like B
movie style fun to be had. I

275
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.559
have a real good time with that
series watching you play it on the quick

276
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.480
Look today, Like I haven't played
any since the original one. Like it

277
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.000
seems like they do kind of lean
into the silliness of it. Just the

278
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.919
constant chanting of EDF and everything,
like the chant and the music like that

279
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.960
stuff is heartwarming. Yeah. Yeah, it's very novel, very charming.

280
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.559
I dig it a lot, and
they've dialed that up in this version as

281
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.679
well. It's just like a constant
thing that's pretty good. So would you

282
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:47.519
say that they've realized that that's the
appeal of their weird dumb thing, is

283
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.919
that it's a weird dumb thing they
have not Wow, I can't believe it,

284
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.320
because, yeah, because it seems
like that that's last time I kind

285
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.360
of checked in on this thing.
It just seems so self serious in addition

286
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:00.879
to being garbage. Yeah, and
I think that was kind of part of

287
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.799
the appeal at first, Like,
you know, back in uh, well,

288
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.559
the first one that was released over
here is a Earth Defense Force twenty

289
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.880
seventeen or something like that, right, two. Uh, the first one

290
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:17.680
was on three sixty That's what I
played it on. So in Japan it

291
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.440
seted off as like a different name
like Busters shoot him Up or something like

292
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.960
that. It was like a budget
title. It was like the Shooting Yeah,

293
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.279
something stupid like that. Yeah.
And then yeah, it eventually slowly

294
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.279
but surely, but yeah, now
it's at the point where it's like,

295
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.160
you know, there's different classes and
stuff, and there's so many different types

296
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.359
of weapons, and you're not you're
not seeing the same stuff, uh as

297
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.440
much, you know, they've got
lots of new enemy types. There's a

298
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.720
you know we showed in the Quick
Look, just ridiculously large set pieces,

299
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:55.240
completely bombastic, lots of fun giant
robots, giant lizards, Godzilla type stuff.

300
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.640
It seems like in those old games
they would they would find the line

301
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.400
of like where the hardware can handle
what we're giving it, and then step

302
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.240
over it just yep, just enough, just on the other side of it.

303
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.440
Yeah, And now that with the
PS four, which is what you

304
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.960
were playing it on, they have
a lot more room to work, but

305
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.079
they still step over the line,
totally do but they make it count,

306
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.720
like the amount of giant robots and
monsters that earned the Quick Look so much

307
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.599
more. Yeah, you have to
sacrifice just a ton of frame rate stuff

308
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.160
and like trees popping up when you're
ten feet away from him, and if

309
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.359
you walk cool stuff, that's what
you gotta do. Oh yeah, I'm

310
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.559
not arguing that like really adds to
the tension though, because when you're surrounded

311
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:37.079
by like all these enemies and you
can't see anything but their guts splattering and

312
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.839
the explosions and the lasers and shit, and it starts to like chug like

313
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.000
that and you're like, oh my
fucking god, what is going on?

314
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.680
See this? This sounds like this
sounds like that late game sequence and Fallout

315
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.960
four I ran into. Okay,
this sounds almost except that that was the

316
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.680
opposite of the fun, opposite the
fun. But it's a lot of fun

317
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:57.599
with with Laser and his explosions.
And I don't know, I like that

318
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:03.519
series screen multiple done that. Yeah, there's a split screen local. Yeah,

319
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.640
the frame rate takes a dive.
Yeah, I mean really lean into

320
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.400
it, right, they really really
so they played a little bit of twenty

321
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.440
twenty five, which was actually that
was part four, and yeah, like

322
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.680
the online was considerably worse as well. I haven't tried this one out yet,

323
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.640
but like, you know, just
going into some of the normal missions

324
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.359
that are like, Okay, this
run's fine locally, but as soon as

325
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:27.960
you play it online, it's wow, it's a horrible mess. So I

326
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.359
don't know if that's improved yet.
I gotta check that out. I imagine

327
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.880
having that many like discrete entities on
screen and then trying to sink all of

328
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.799
that across multiple machines made it damn
near unplayable. Yeah, before and that's

329
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.440
why I dropped out of twenty twenty
five. But I'm glad that I came

330
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.200
back to this one because you know, it's kind of a first time,

331
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.640
you know, experiencing that one for
me. And they they've added like the

332
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.640
Kaiju stuff and you know, the
big giant robots, so that stuff's kind

333
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:56.039
of cool, and it runs a
little bit better. There's some really cool

334
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:57.920
lighting effects that they use, and
like the underground caverns and stuff, and

335
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.920
you know it's just the yeah,
just a little bit better, still just

336
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.799
as fun if you're into that kind
of thing. So cool, I dig

337
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:10.160
it. Yeah, Yeah, man, life a DF for life indeed,

338
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.920
Drew Scanlin, what's up? What's
up? I've been messing around with the

339
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:17.640
steam link? What's up with the
steam link? It kind of works?

340
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.079
So you did buy it? Yeah, I bought one. So I tried

341
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.559
Jason's out, and I think I
was on this podcast when I said the

342
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.839
dude wasn't really working very well.
I think that may have been something to

343
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.680
do with my router or maybe just
because I was playing fall Out four.

344
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:38.960
Uh, but it like did not. It was significantly laggy. Uh And

345
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.599
with my own It's fine, really, I was able to play. Yeah,

346
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.359
Jason got the shitty one. Yeah, I guess. So I rebooted

347
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.400
my router and everything's fine. Everything's
fine. But yeah, so I'm plugged

348
00:20:52.440 --> 00:21:00.799
into my router is plugged into steam
Link with a wire, and my computer

349
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:06.000
which is streaming the game is a
wireless to my router. Oh boy five

350
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.400
yego hurts wireless n still, but
it works. I was, yeah,

351
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:15.359
dirt rally? What else did I
try? Metro? So a dirt rally

352
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.559
like a driving game was was playable
totally, Yeah, and it seemed to

353
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.240
hold up. That was always the
on Live thing is they would show it

354
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.319
running like a need for speed game
or something, just be like that's that's

355
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:30.200
not it's not so great. Mm
hmm. But that worked out for me.

356
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.960
Yeah, I've been using the three
sixty controller, so I've plugged in

357
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.640
the dongle to the steam Link itself. Okay, it doesn't have to be

358
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.039
at my computer, and it just
like worked out of the gate, didn't

359
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.920
it the dole? Yeah? Mine
did anyway, Yes, that's pretty great.

360
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.200
Yeah. So when you launch a
game that has like one of those

361
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.519
screens like select your resolution or whatever, or like first time installs, sometimes

362
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.480
there are pop up windows you can't
use at least that I know if you

363
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:03.680
can't use like the three sixty joysticks
to move your mouse around right like Steam

364
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.200
controller. Yes, so I also
tried your Steam controller and didn't really like

365
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:14.160
it. Nope. So I think
what I'm gonna do is get one of

366
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.960
those keyboard and trackpad combos log of
techniques one. Yeah, really good one.

367
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.319
Yeah. When I was when I
was using when I was running XBMC

368
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.960
in my living room, I had
one of those to like navigate it and

369
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.240
stuff. Yeah, I've got it. I'm not gonna just for like a

370
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:30.920
media server and yeah, we just
keep that on our coffee table. Small,

371
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.119
discreet, nice, Yeah, okay, perfect. Yeah, I'm not

372
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.640
going to use it for like playing
a real time strategy game or anything,

373
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.400
but I do need it for like
cases like that where I just need a

374
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.319
keyboard and mouse. Yeah, because
I don't want to have to go into

375
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.079
the room with m PC I don't
know. Cool, so future we shouldn't

376
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:49.519
have to do that. I also
think, like I don't know, games

377
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.000
like I don't know, like Dragon
Age or something where you can pause it

378
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:59.960
like that doesn't technically have control or
support, but if you had something like

379
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.519
that, maybe you could kind of
get by with a controller, Andy keyboard

380
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.920
something totally. Yeah. Sure,
there's a lot of games that they have

381
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.279
partial supports, and where where it
breaks is that you know men menus like

382
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.359
that where you have to use a
mouse. So yeah, that's uh,

383
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.000
that's a good alternative. Also,
if you have no idea what I'm talking

384
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.960
about. Steam Link is a thing
you plug into your TV that streams video

385
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.160
basically from your PC to your television. Yeah. You can do that with

386
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.039
like another PC or a laptop or
like a Microsoft Surface. I've done it

387
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.799
with one of those. Wow,
and basically the same. I tried it

388
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.960
with my Mac Mini, which is
from like twenty eleven. Yeah, that

389
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.400
didn't really work. H Yeah,
I wonder if that's just a straight up

390
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:47.480
like the networking is not as optimized
on the Mac Mini. It's weird name,

391
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.319
like he doesn't even have an HDMI
out, Like I have to overwrite

392
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:53.319
it. Yeah. Gross. Yeah
that sounds like no fun at all.

393
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.920
Yeah, steam it works cool at
least with my network setup. Yeah,

394
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.480
It's definitely seems like one of things
that some people are just going to run

395
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.880
into situations where it's like, oh, this isn't reasonable for me to wire

396
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:07.559
everything or you know, and the
wireless isn't working. I don't know.

397
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.359
I've does it? Do you know? If it supports a C that's uh,

398
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.640
I don't know, because I recently
swapped routers for one that does eight

399
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.720
to to eleven AC and I just
wonder if that would work, because that's

400
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:25.400
that's faster. Yeah, if it
wasn't going, if it didn't work with

401
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:29.240
my current setup, I was going
to try Internet overpower. Oh right,

402
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:34.079
you'll see if that dark magic.
Yeah, improved things. Use your home's

403
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.599
wiring. God, the power of
the Internet over it. I just don't

404
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.000
have anything fucking wireless unless it has
to be wireless, you know what I

405
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.400
mean. I don't have anything.
The only thing wired is my PC.

406
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.440
Really yeah, nothing else is nothing
else is wired? Stop it. Stop

407
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:53.079
playing online games with people. If
you're wired up, it's fine. Nope,

408
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:57.319
Nope, it's not. It's totally
fine. This is fighting game thing.

409
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.839
It's well, yeah, I guess, okay, playing game thing.

410
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.279
But yeah, if I've had I've
done fine playing fighting games on wirelessly.

411
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:10.079
M it's like twenty feet away from
the router. I don't care. No

412
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:15.359
wired God, damn, I have
a lot of bandwidth. Okay, yeah,

413
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.720
sure, no, no, I
mean no, to be fair,

414
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.240
I do have a pretty I've seen. Yeah, I've heard. We got

415
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.880
a lot of questions into the anonymous
tumbler this week asking about that. Yeah,

416
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.599
so that's there's your answer. Anything
else true, that's it. They

417
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.599
just you know, same old games. Yeah. I haven't really had a

418
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:37.599
chance to dip in anything else.
Cool. Game of the year time,

419
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.359
you know it is it is game
of the year time. I like this

420
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.359
time of year. Yeah, Dan, how's it going great? Good?

421
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.680
Yeah? Yeah, variety of game
related things over the weekend. Yeah,

422
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:51.920
what's what's what have you been getting
up to? I guess there's no turning

423
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:56.200
back because I bought an Amiboh wow, it's my first Ambo I've bought.

424
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:00.160
Like like you, Jeff, I
have an accidental Amibo collection. I have

425
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.920
like nine amibo now. Yeah,
like I have a shelf for amibos and

426
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.480
I don't even know how that happened, but yeah, Nintendo likes to send

427
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.119
along like you know, Happy Home
Designer comes with two and Will You World

428
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.920
comes with one, and it's like, oh, I guess I have these

429
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.640
amibos now. But finally I realized
that, like god damn it, I

430
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.000
can only get that Mega Mushroom and
Mario Maker if I have that fucking Pixel

431
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.759
one. I looked on Amazon.
It was like sixteen bucks. I like,

432
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:25.119
see they sent me. They sent
me one of those Pixel Mario amibos

433
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.480
with Mario Maker with Marios. Okay, I got offline on that one.

434
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:32.200
Sixteen bucks and you know what,
it's not looking at me. It's not

435
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.640
the money. It's the concept of
is this like paying for something in Doda

436
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.640
or is this what I'm You have
broken the bad You've broken the seal on

437
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.759
It is not that bad because this
will actually do something. Uh. The

438
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.400
one could argue that maybe you should
be able to do that thing without spending

439
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.440
the money. I guess it's just
a game anyway. I just want to

440
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.799
make sure I can do everything.
And it's more than Now that you have

441
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.039
spent money on an amibo, what's
to stop you from doing it again?

442
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:00.640
And you're like a little Magican MegaMan
a lot and again and again and again

443
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:04.359
and again and again and again and
again. I kind of like that shelf.

444
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.200
Yeah. I got on my WU
and we games on there. I

445
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.920
got some old Ins and Superintendent games
on there, and I got a bunch

446
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.039
of Amibos. I got a cheapy
robo Amibos. He's adorable. Yeah,

447
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.519
he's got a little plug. He's
holding it up. He's like sitting down.

448
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.720
Yeah. Yeah, Miyoshi's made of
actual yarn. That one I'm not

449
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.119
taking. That one. I did
not take out of the box. So

450
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.160
that is not on my amibo shelf. That's sitting in another room somewhere.

451
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.279
All of mine are on the shelf
for sure, prominently displayed. So the

452
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.480
Amibos, I'm I think I'm completely
done with because they just really don't offer

453
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.200
enough in game. So oh no. And that's why I justified this one

454
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.519
is because it did very much the
game I will play the most for like

455
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.880
the next several years. Probably.
It gives me something that I can actually

456
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.200
do in that game. I got
a little hot and heavy on those because

457
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.839
I was getting like new costumes and
like Mario Kartan, I thought that was

458
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:53.640
pretty cool, right but right right, yeah, but yeah, a lot

459
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.720
of the new stuff doesn't Yeah,
it doesn't carry over to that. I've

460
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:02.559
been buying a lot of figures,
like, yeah, I got all the

461
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.000
new Star Wars stuff and okay,
all just all just came out, right,

462
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:07.519
that's all yeah, yeah, how
is that? Have you? Have

463
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.079
you tried to playing it at all? It's it feels a little disjointed.

464
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.359
Yeah, that that new sets like
raised talking to BB eights like all the

465
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:17.720
time, but BB, it's not
even there. I don't know what the

466
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.079
hell is going on, and there's
some weird audio glitches in between cut scenes.

467
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:25.359
I'm still pretty early. This one
seems a little slapped together though,

468
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.240
I don't know. Yeah, the
last one was pretty good, though,

469
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.680
pretty good. A couple other things
that did a Steam World heist, right,

470
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.400
Yeah, that game is cool.
I like the game a lot.

471
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:38.960
I haven't had a chance to play
much stuff. Definitely Quick Look definitely not

472
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:41.440
the same type of game of Steam
World Dig though totally different. I mean

473
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.200
the same aesthetic and everything. It's
all very steam punky, and you know,

474
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.799
the art style is similar. But
yeah, and the way I described

475
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.359
it in the Quick Look was like
if codename Steam was two D and good.

476
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.079
Okay, it's man, It's it's
turn based. It's got kind of

477
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.720
that you know x com type thing
where you moving a certain amount of points

478
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.920
and every thing, or if you
sprint past this point you can't shoot and

479
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:04.240
move or whatever. But it's like
real time aiming and stuff, and you

480
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:10.319
can ricochet shots off walls and stuff, and man, it's really cool from

481
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:14.440
what I've seen so far. Awesome. Yeah, it's I'm maybe like five

482
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.279
hours in or whatever, but I'm
still super invested. I keep getting new

483
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:19.759
people on my team and everything,
new weapons, and man, it's it's

484
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.720
a very delightful little surprise. I'm
playing it on three DS. I think

485
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.000
that's the only thing that's out on
right now. So yeah, it'll be

486
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.359
coming to other stuff later, but
I like it quite a bit. Quick

487
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.039
look on the site, yes,
just went up. Yeah, yesterday I

488
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:34.880
looked me a good tactical turn based
yes, and this is Yeah, this

489
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.519
is an interesting because it's not the
isometric you know over here right right that

490
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:41.039
I'm so accustomed to. This is
straight up two D, which I liked

491
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.200
the idea of different approaches to that, which is why I was kind of

492
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:45.359
excited about Codenames Team. It's like, oh, this is kind of this

493
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.240
cool like almost like Gears of War
view, but it's got that kind of

494
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.759
turn based thing, and I really
wanted that to be good. But even

495
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.640
after they fixed kind of the long
turn time thing, or didn't even fix

496
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:56.759
it. They just slightly improved it. It's still the core game and the

497
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:02.680
mission structure was not that great or
is this I have just liked it more

498
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.279
and more as I played it.
And it doesn't have any loading. Oh

499
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:08.559
no, you can just immediately skip
all these like enemy and animations and everything.

500
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.839
It's awesome, super Scooby. That's
gonna be. Like, I got

501
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.839
a bunch of commute stuff going on
this week with going back for the holidays,

502
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.519
and I'm gonna be playing a lot
of that for sure. Outside of

503
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.640
that, I did some gift exchange
stuff with my lady and she got me

504
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.200
a Xbox Elite controller. When it
is fucking awesome, How is that awesome?

505
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.079
I don't get it like well,
which okay, so obviously the people

506
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.640
that you know are really going to
get everything out of it are the like

507
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:36.880
guys that are super seriously playing you
know, first person shooters and things like

508
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.319
that, because there's the intricate things
you can do with the different stick layouts

509
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:44.759
and stuff and customizations. But on
the yeah, the paddles, yeah yeah.

510
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.119
So I played some Halo five and
so I set it up like there's

511
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.200
preset settings like for Halo and Gears
of war and stuff, or you can

512
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.119
set your own and so I said
it, so like the left bottom one

513
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.240
is reload, so that way you
don't have to take your thumb off of

514
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.119
the right analog stick to reloads.
You just tap it with your pinky.

515
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:02.680
There. That was a feed behind
bumper jumper right right, which is one

516
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.440
of those you know controller maps that
no one ever uses except crazy people,

517
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.119
right exactly. So I used it
for like a month, right, Yeah.

518
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.279
I never liked that that much.
Yeah, and then and then these

519
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.160
this controller is a lot like you
know, people have been modifying existing controllers

520
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.599
for years. Companies have been selling
stuff like that for a long time.

521
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.640
That add the paddles and all this
other weird shit. But yeah, this

522
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.599
is officially Microsoft. Yeah, this
is a real Microsoft thing. And yeah,

523
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.279
like bottom right, I've got for
jump and so yeah, I can

524
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:32.839
jump and reload and do like the
little dash thing in the air with that.

525
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.039
And then also I love that you
can adjust the throw of the triggers.

526
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:37.400
So there's a little switch on the
back you can do independently. You

527
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.680
can make the left So let's say
you're playing you know, Fortz or racing

528
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.000
game or something, you want all
that space in between, you know,

529
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.079
like like I gradually you bring it
down, whereas a shooter or something like

530
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.559
Halo, I pull the trigger I
want to shoot, and so you can

531
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.160
flip the switch that makes it so
there's really no throw or anything, so

532
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.599
you just barely tap it like it
registers any input that like instantly that is

533
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.359
on. Yeah, as opposed to
all the way down. You kind of

534
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.759
you can lock it at different positions, right, you pull it part way

535
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:05.240
and then hit the switch to lock
it or I think there is, Yeah,

536
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.680
and the settings, it looked like
there were some like trigger setting things

537
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:09.359
that were pretty intricate, but I
didn't really go into I just flipped the

538
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:13.480
actual physical switches on the back of
the controller, which is just like full

539
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:20.160
on gradual or just tap to shoot
type stuff. So there's an Xbox Accessories

540
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.680
app that you download on Xbox one
and also on Windows ten and it talks

541
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:28.200
to each other. Really it was
weird, Like my Halo five setting was

542
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:30.880
on my PC when I went to
go play games on Steam, and there's

543
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:32.400
a switch on the front so you
can switch between profiles. I Profile one

544
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:36.960
can be for Halo and Profile two
for whatever. But yeah, that carries

545
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.720
over seamlessly to the PC, which
is weird sinking back and forth because it's

546
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:43.880
the same Yeah, which is weird
considering like, you know, I've got

547
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:45.960
a halo thing on my PC when
I play it on there, but whatever,

548
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:50.480
you know. Yeah, yeah,
but you could probably name that profile

549
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:52.720
whatever you wanted to write. Oh
yeah, totally. Yeah, So it's

550
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.839
just but yeah, yeah, the
one you wanted to be the same one

551
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:59.839
the other. Yeah, And it's
super easy to swap stuff out. But

552
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.559
speaking of swapp stuff out, the
the dpad and the sticks you can pull

553
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.839
those out on the fly. They're
magnetics, so it's really easy to pull

554
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:07.839
those out. And the package comes
with like a little you know, zipper

555
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.440
pouch or whatever, and comes with
like several variations on sticks and stuff.

556
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.839
So there's like convex and concave normal
size sticks. Let's see what concave is

557
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.000
one that goes in like a cave, right, bumps out right, yeah,

558
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:23.000
and then there's two really tall concave
ones. So if you want the

559
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.559
really tall ones, that kind of
gives you more kind of dead zone the

560
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.880
right term for that, or its
could be more like precisions because it's the

561
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:32.640
smaller thing. But you can do
a very precise little movements, So I

562
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:36.319
mean, yeah, if you were
some like pro level first person shooter guy

563
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:38.240
or whatever, I could see that
being really cool. But like different games,

564
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:42.440
I liked swapping out different things,
like I would have the convex one

565
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.880
on the left stick and the concave
one on the right stick. Yeah,

566
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.640
and then the dpad thing you have
just the standard kind of any S style

567
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.680
dpad, and then there's like the
eight way one. Yeah, that looks

568
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.200
interesting to crazy rocker looking thing yea, which I'm curious to hear, Jason

569
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:58.079
and Jeff. I know you're a
big fighting game guys. Like I loaded

570
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.079
up Ultrastreet Fighter four on PC and
thinking that, like, well, I

571
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.519
can use this standard dpad one for
like I played Rogue Legacy with that,

572
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:08.039
and you know, just standard you
know, kind of side scrollers and stuff,

573
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:12.199
and it's awesome for that, depend
feels great, But the away one

574
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:13.840
I was like, oh, this
will be better for like street Fighter and

575
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:15.920
stuff I have to do like dragon
punches or whatever. But I tried both,

576
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.920
and I actually liked the standard deepad
better when I was playing Street Fighter.

577
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.360
So I'm trying to think that it's
not surprising Okay, yeah, I'm

578
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.360
trying to think of what I would
use that eight way one four because that's

579
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:29.480
almost like the old Genesis pad.
That a way thing almost feels like like

580
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.880
an nes max or something like that. It's like this weird. Yeah,

581
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:35.079
I don't know, it's weird.
I don't know what I would use that

582
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.800
for either, but I like the
standard kind of dpad stuff like that's.

583
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.800
Yeah. Like I played a little
street Fighter. I was funning with Sagott

584
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:44.320
and I was go tranduce some like
tiger knee and Tiger uppercut stuff, and

585
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.320
it felt kind of weird with the
away one and then I took the standard

586
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.239
one on there and it's like,
oh, yeah, this is because that's

587
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.679
I mean I played I started playing
that game on Supernintendo and that just felt

588
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:57.599
natural. So are we beyond the
point of padding infringement on deepads? Yeah?

589
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:01.440
Okay, the cross shaved good D
pad is is that's up available?

590
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:06.480
Okay, but yeah, just nothing
but great things to say about it.

591
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:09.400
It looks cool, it feels really
nice and heavy. Everything is just it's

592
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.800
cool how you can just pull those
things out on the fly, Like in

593
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.400
between Deaths and Halo, I was
pulling out like you know, sticks and

594
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.719
swapping them out and stuff, and
it's it's just a real cool thing.

595
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:21.280
It's like easily my favorite controller.
And considering that, like I can do

596
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.679
it on Xbox and PC, I'm
going to get a ton of use out

597
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:27.199
of that. That's yeah, that's
encouraging. I thought this was only for

598
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.480
the most hardcore of the hardcore,
I mean very specific things. Yeah,

599
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:34.840
they're the ones that it is for
them, but you're you're still Yeah,

600
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.920
there's little things like just being able
to reload like that it felt good just

601
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:39.599
hit it with my left pinky there
or whatever, like, yeah, I

602
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.159
absolutely love I always figured if I
ever did end up getting one of those,

603
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.159
that I would probably take the bumpers
out and not use them. I

604
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.400
think with certain games you would do
that. Like I played a little bit

605
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:50.559
of Rogue Legacy, and I was
trying to think, like, are there

606
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:52.559
really anything you know, outside of
just the general good feel of the controller

607
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:57.079
in the dpad? Is there anything
that like the paddles are giving me here

608
00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.480
and not really and something like Rogue
Legacy. So yeah, it's were easy

609
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:01.960
to take those out and put them
back in and everything. So I just,

610
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.079
yeah, I don't know, like
it seems like one of the things

611
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.800
that it seems awesome, but for
the price, like I just don't Yeah,

612
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.119
one hundred and fifty bucks wow thinks
So yeah, if you can find

613
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:13.760
it, like it was sold out
when she looked forward and she had to

614
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:15.320
go on eBay. It's starting to
get I think it's starting to get restocked

615
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.960
in some spots. Yeah, I
think a lot of places held back their

616
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.840
stock for whatever reason. Yeah,
Like I just sailent best Buy. It's

617
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.559
like one hundred and fifty dollars for
the controller and you get Halo five right

618
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:30.519
right for free? Yeah, yeah, it's but it's I don't know,

619
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:32.639
it feels like the price is a
little too crazy, Like I just don't

620
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.440
need that much controller or or rather
I would probably enjoy it, but I'm

621
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:39.599
not gonna spend one hundred fifty dollars
on that thing, right that I can't

622
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:46.440
talk repeatedly spent one hundred and fifty
two hundred dollars on. But the difference,

623
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:51.920
Arcade sticks are fucking cool. This
is a cool control. Not liking

624
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.119
arcade stick though, Okade sticks are
really cool. Like that's the thing that's

625
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:57.320
like it's you talk about something's gotta
wait to it if you're doing it right.

626
00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.400
You got this big bulk like you
look at that and you oh,

627
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.440
yeah, yeah, this really nice
two hundred thing. Look at it.

628
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.239
It's it could be wood grain,
you know, it's an it's a nice

629
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:09.760
set piece kind of thing. You
look at you fucking yeah. Whereas like

630
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.000
the controller, it looks like an
Xbox controller with a weird dpad. I

631
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.800
guess I've spent a lot on hotas
setups too. There you go. See.

632
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:19.760
But again, like that's tho,
those like, yeah, performed the

633
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.239
Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah,
they look like you're gonna do some bad

634
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:28.519
shit with it. Yeah, Hotas, Like you know that's insane. But

635
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:34.360
also it's for such a specific weird
task. Yeah, Whereas like a just

636
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.079
a better game pad, it is
like harder for me to wrap my mind

637
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:38.159
around. Yeah, for whatever reason, Like, yeah, I know,

638
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:42.559
I'm with you. I've I've spent
at least I thought, well, I've

639
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:44.760
probably you've probably spent way more than
I. But I've spent at least a

640
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:47.239
thousand dollars in arcades sticks over the
years. You know what, arcades stick

641
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:50.880
is pretty good. No one talks
about that. Mortal Kombat one that came

642
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:53.159
out with Mortal Kombat nine with the
standard X thing. That was a good

643
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:55.280
way. I had the padded thing
on the bottom so you could rest it,

644
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:57.920
right. But the one that I
got, the one that I got,

645
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.760
the joystick was broken. That was
not it's I had one that broke,

646
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:02.400
and yeah it was. It was
like a poorly made piece of shit.

647
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:06.119
But it opened up and I put
all my little like move cards in

648
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.239
there and everything. Okay, that's
cool. Yeah, it was fun.

649
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:10.599
They had the big wire you could
put inside the things. That's nice.

650
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:14.239
It was. I like that one
a lot. It was good for Mortal

651
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.960
Combat. I wish that a different
company made that thing like that as a

652
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:21.880
PDP, right right, right,
So yeah, if if a PDPs made

653
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:24.159
some good stuff, for sure,
but that was not that was it was

654
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:29.440
probably not one. Okay, that's
great. Can you on the PC?

655
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.280
Can you so if you map one
of the paddles to like reload, is

656
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:37.599
it just duplicating the X button?
Yeah? So so you you say,

657
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:44.199
I want to know if if they
are discreet uh separate buttons on the PC

658
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:49.559
specifically, I guess that's that's the
questions like Windows X, the X button

659
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:53.239
and the thing bound to the X
button as different inputs, like is it

660
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:59.960
is it adding? No, it's
it shows you an Xbox controller and it's

661
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.960
as like map upper less paddle two
and it shows a bunch of Xbox button.

662
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:06.440
But that's because you're using the Xbox
app. I wonder if you went

663
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.840
into like the Windows Game controller setting, if it would report it as having

664
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:13.400
four more buttons. Oh yeah,
I have not looked into that then,

665
00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:15.679
because if that's the case, then
that would be good for things like you

666
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:20.760
know, Elite Dangerous or like war
Thunder other stuff like that. I did

667
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:22.559
find. I don't think you can
make it so like upper left paddle is

668
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:25.599
X plus A. So if you
wanted to make that like a throw in,

669
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:29.440
you know, soul caliber or something, you can can't do macros or

670
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.639
whatever. It seems like you can
now, yeah, but yeah it doesn't

671
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:36.360
work. Wireless thing. Do you
have one wireless Ye? Yep, I

672
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.400
got that wire you need. Okay, yeah it comes with a cable.

673
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:40.920
But like I've got the wireless thing, so I just got one of those

674
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:44.480
two. Is it the same as
the three sixty one or is this a

675
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:47.840
specific it's a different dongle, it's
a different different than the Xbox three sixty

676
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:52.639
one. Oh sorry, you're talking
about the elite versus the normal. Oh

677
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.000
gosh, yeah, okay, it's
different than the three sixty one. Yes,

678
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:58.119
yes, yeah, it's a whole
nude. It's a different wireless technology.

679
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.320
It's not compatible. I upgraded to
Windows ten just for that. I

680
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:04.719
think, Oh you got the Donald
Yeah yeah, I think I think people

681
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:07.280
got that. Donal working on older
versions of Window. I wouldn't doubt it,

682
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:07.840
but yeah, they made it was
time. I think they made it

683
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.079
so you can officially do that now
went to seven and eight, I think

684
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:14.719
you can do Yeah, yeah,
it's okay. Why why would you go

685
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.159
from three sixty to elite? All
right, I'm sorry to h Xbox one

686
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:22.239
controllers. I really liked the x
Xbox one to the three six there's a

687
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.480
it's yeah, I'm using Xbox one
controller on my PC now as well,

688
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:30.159
and it is it's there's like a
weight distribution thing. That feels a lot

689
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:36.119
better about that controller. Obviously,
the stick I like triggers. Like the

690
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:38.280
sticks and triggers a little bit better. I don't know when I go back

691
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:42.079
to a three sixty controller now and
I have one, I just busted one

692
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:45.079
out that was unused. I had
a new wired three sixty controller that I

693
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:50.199
pulled out of the plastic because the
Xbox one controller had stopped working right for

694
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.880
some reason. So I was like, well, fuck, bust this thing

695
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:55.119
out and a brand new controller.
It still just didn't feel right anymore.

696
00:40:55.159 --> 00:41:00.679
Everything felt too chunky, triggers,
the just everything about in deep beds.

697
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:04.199
I guess I never used the deep
beds like the deep ad is total ship.

698
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:07.039
Yeah, like I you know,
I feel like we got used to

699
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:09.480
it plenty well over the course that
generation, but it's still I refused.

700
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:14.639
Not great. Yeah, do bet
on. The Xpress one controller is great,

701
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:16.599
I started. That's that's a thing
that I can't bring myself to buy

702
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:19.960
is a specific one. Oh,
I guess I got. If I got

703
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:22.239
the wireless dongle, then I could
just use it on my PC as well.

704
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.079
Yeah yeah I don't. I've got
three six four and the the USB

705
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:29.119
cable works now it's you don't have
to go get a wired Xbox one controller.

706
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:30.320
Yeah yeah, so you just plug
it in and it goes. That's

707
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:32.519
that's how I'm doing it. I
don't need I'm close to the PC.

708
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:37.039
I don't know I don't need wireless, Yeah, but yeah, I don't

709
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.920
know. I I hooked up the
duel Shock four to my PC again last

710
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:44.800
week for about an hour. That's
a nice control. Is there an official

711
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:50.519
driver out for that? Notion enjoy
still or it's input wrapper. Input is

712
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:52.440
the name of it. And it's
the kind of the grew out of DS

713
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.519
four Windows or whatever, you know, whatever the other stuff is. And

714
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:00.880
I don't like the idea of having
a program running just keep a controller working.

715
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:04.599
I think that's like just too hacky, Like I just don't want to

716
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.199
suck around with it. And yeah, I don't know. I had hooked

717
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:10.159
up for a while and then it
just it didn't work. It didn't do

718
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:15.360
the thing I was trying to get
it to do, which was play Thug

719
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:17.639
Pro. By the way, now
that I think about it, there's just

720
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.679
actually so there's some specific issues with
game pad mapping and that thing that are

721
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:27.440
just fucked So. Yeah, so
I plugged that in for a while and

722
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:28.840
then it kept it there for a
while, like, oh my, well

723
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:30.960
play some other games, like you
know what, this is not working,

724
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:31.920
right, I don't want to fuck
with it. I just went back to

725
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.039
the Xbox One. Controller. It's
just not worth it. The more I

726
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:37.920
think about it, the more I
think that like the idea of an official

727
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:42.760
because if you plug in the dual
Shock four it works just not as an

728
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:45.400
x input controller. So most more
and more games are looking for that,

729
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:49.880
and that's never gonna work like that, because for that to work like that,

730
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.760
it's gonna you know, it's it's
Sony riding a driver to make it

731
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.960
show Xbox buttons, which why would
they you know, they're not going to

732
00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.000
do that. They wouldn't. That's
no one, no one involved is gonna

733
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:01.480
do that. Like, the more
I think about it, the more I

734
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:07.519
thing because we're never going to actually
get You're probably the thing that that would

735
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:10.079
the people would want for this,
It'll always be some hacky, fucked up

736
00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:15.159
thing. So anything else, Dan
real quick. I was cleaning my apartment

737
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:20.360
up a bunch this weekend and I
found an old nineteen sixty version of Stratego.

738
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.719
Really is real good. I love
is a fantastic game I have not

739
00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:27.840
played in like twenty years. I
pulled out again. It's easy to pick

740
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:31.559
up again. It is an awesome
game, had all the pieces still just

741
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:35.119
a hell of a game. So
where do you put your where do you

742
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:36.639
put your bombs? Where do you
put your spot? What do you what

743
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:39.599
do you use a lot of misty
stuff? I mean, because like you

744
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:43.239
could just put a bunch of bombs
around your flag, But then as soon

745
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.599
as you starts seeing bombs, the
other person that was like, he's got

746
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:47.559
the flag in there. Yeah.
So I put a couple of bombs next

747
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:51.920
to my flag, usually on top
and left. Uh. And then I

748
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:53.360
put like a you know, a
one or two, a marshal or something

749
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:57.920
to the right of my flag just
in case anybody comes my direction, I

750
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.000
can take them out. Uh.
But and I like the idea of trying

751
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:02.599
to get that spy to the marshall. That's fun. Yeah. And then

752
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:07.039
when you get a miner and you
start taking those bombs out, that's that's

753
00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:08.119
a hell of a game. When
I was playing a lot of Stratego,

754
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:13.679
I started running real risky strats flag
in the front row type ship. Who

755
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:15.280
was like, why the fuck?
They would never expect it to be off

756
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:20.039
there, off to the corner,
behind the behind the water, and yeah

757
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.400
yeah, And once they penetrate deeper
into your ranks, they're never going to

758
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.320
go back to clear out the stuff. That's over there, and if something,

759
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:28.719
if they even if they notice it
has never moved, if it's in

760
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:30.960
the front, they're gonna be like, well, that's clearly a bomb upfront,

761
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:37.039
man, Why would you put a
bomb behind the water? That's true.

762
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:38.960
Yeah, yeah, And also at
the beginning, a lot of double

763
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:43.679
misdirect Yeah, people will take scouts
though on the front line and just immediately

764
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:45.880
just dive at whatever's upfront. So
I mean, if you got a flag

765
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:49.440
upfront front the middle, most people
will go up front middle. They want

766
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:51.760
to they want to penetrate in the
middle so they can, you know,

767
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:53.559
break off to the sides and stuff
like that. So you put it off

768
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:55.840
the side a little bit. You
know, Hey, it's just over here,

769
00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:00.519
just doing its thing. Okay,
just forget about it. I never

770
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.000
said it was a great strategy.
It's very risky, but I got to

771
00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:06.119
mix it up though, I did. Yeah, exactly, Like if especially

772
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.639
if you're playing us the same person. Yeah, you get to a point

773
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.280
with that game where you're just like, well, fuck it, I have

774
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:14.920
to get nuts here for this to
work that. Yeah, it's it's man.

775
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:17.519
There's a versatility to statigo. Why
is there an nineteen sixties version of

776
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:20.639
Statigo in your apartment. No,
I don't know. I don't know if

777
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.039
it was like my dad's or my
grandpa's or something of it. It was

778
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.880
an item of yours that you had
forgotten you had. Yeah, like I've

779
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:30.280
had a previous tenant just hiding.
I've moved it from apartment to apartment over

780
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:31.920
the last several years, but I
haven't played it since like the early nineties,

781
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:35.079
I don't think. And so I
had to read all the rules again.

782
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:37.679
But that game holds up and people
don't talk about it enough. People

783
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:39.360
talk about their monopolies and their risks
all the time. Both find games in

784
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:44.800
their own right. No, Strtigo, Wow, Stago is awesome. Yeah,

785
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.800
that's a thinking man's game. Yeah, definitely, absolutely, one thousand

786
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:53.480
percent. I started thinking about playing
Elite Dangerous. Oh yeah, and then

787
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.679
went through about four training things.
This was like late last night. Okay.

788
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:01.000
I was like, I need to
go to bed. I guess I'll

789
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:05.880
just create an Elite Dangerous account and
start playing that. Uh, and and

790
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:08.079
launched that. It started going through
the tutorials, the playable tutorials. They

791
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:09.800
were like, you should watch these
videos first. I'm like, oh,

792
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:15.840
fuck it, it'll be fine and
start playing the controllers. I'm playing Elite

793
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:21.199
Dangerous Horizons, which is in early
access on Steam right now. It is

794
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:24.039
they're calling it like their next season
of content, and this is the stuff

795
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:27.920
where you can get out of the
ship. Yeah, you can land on

796
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.400
planets and do stuff. Mine,
I guess is what you do. Surprise,

797
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:35.159
surprise, it's more mining stuff.
I did not do any of that,

798
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:37.880
but I figured, if I'm gonna
start playing, might as well start

799
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:39.280
playing with whatever the latest version of
it is. Yeah, it's probably a

800
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:43.119
few hours off, Yeah, I
would think, so, I don't know.

801
00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:47.239
I flew around and got comfortable with
the controls and targeting and shot down

802
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:51.559
some AI ships and stuff like that, and now I think the next set

803
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:54.000
of tutorials is where it's like,
Okay, here's how to go places and

804
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:58.480
here's how here's what to do when
you get there. So I don't know

805
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:02.480
how any hours of my away.
How many hours are between me and the

806
00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:08.360
fun quote unquote not that not that
many. Yeah, I actually just yeah,

807
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:10.559
I did the same thing. I
seemed success layable ones. Yeah,

808
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.480
and I watched one video tutorial,
the one on their site. It's like,

809
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:17.800
here's how to here's how to Elite
Dangerous basically, and it gives you

810
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.679
a good overview of like how all
the systems kind of interact at a very

811
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:30.599
uh macro level, right, things
like just reading the uh like trading screen

812
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:36.000
like that stuff. It's it's a
lot like learning Photoshop or something where you're

813
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.000
like, Okay, I want to
do this one thing, how do I

814
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:42.679
do it? And then you uncover
the steps to do that and then you

815
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.440
know it right, and then you
you just build on it that way.

816
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:49.480
But as far as like the basics
and flying around and like you know,

817
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:53.519
landing at places and talking to people
like that initial stuff is is pretty easy

818
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:58.400
to pick up. Yeah, yeah, it seems like it's not that deep

819
00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:00.320
or or I guess it seems like
pretty excit, I guess I should say,

820
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:05.000
and very playable with a controller.
Yeah. Uh. Though though I'm

821
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:10.320
like questioning why the X button is, Like why is deploying your hard points

822
00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:13.960
and undeploying them such a big deal
in that game that they put it on

823
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.320
a face button? Uh, Like
why do you why would you ever want

824
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:20.239
to not have your hard points deployed? I guess people can detect when your

825
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:22.239
hard points are deployed. Okay,
so it's straight at like a diplomacy sort

826
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.400
of thing of like don't have your
guns drawn, right or if you like

827
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.400
meet some like other player out in
space, yeah, just oh hey,

828
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:32.159
and if you're like hard points or
out, they're gonna go, h what

829
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:36.559
you're doing? Yeah? Okay these
guns? Right? Yeah, that's a

830
00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:42.519
cool term. Yeah. Yeah,
have you gotten uh oh what are they?

831
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:46.239
Is it incursion? Have you got
incurred yet? I don't? Have

832
00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:51.119
you got a light speed? No? I'm not okay. Yeah. So

833
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:54.679
when you're traveling from planet planet can
can get in there and people get off,

834
00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:00.159
rip you out of hyperspace and then
fight you. It's awesome. And

835
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.760
while they're doing it, like it
doesn't happen instantly, they're like, oh,

836
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:06.280
you're being in curry. I think
that's the name for it. And

837
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:10.880
then it'll your ship will give you
an escape vector to escape their grapple,

838
00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:15.840
and you've got to like line up
stuff and like fly back into your hyperspace

839
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:21.119
and if you fail that, then
you get bumped out and you're both like

840
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:24.440
tumbling through space and as your systems
come back online, and once they do,

841
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:29.320
you better hope that like you've got
some good weapons against this guy,

842
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.800
damn. Or he may not even
fight you. He may just like ask

843
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:37.280
you some information. I'm looking for
a bounty hunter. It's like that's a

844
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:40.199
fucked up thing to pull me out. You could have just we've got radios,

845
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:43.840
man, Yeah, you could just
send me an email. That game

846
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:51.760
is That game is cool. It
takes a bit to feel comfortable or like

847
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:55.360
to establish like this is what I
want from this game, and that takes

848
00:49:55.360 --> 00:50:00.519
a little exploration just to like get
comfortable with what is around and a available.

849
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:06.039
Yeah, but once you do,
I it does like the world immersion

850
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:08.079
really well, Like, yeah,
you feel like you're just sitting in the

851
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:13.320
ship, in your ship, living
in space. That is your ship.

852
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:15.800
Yeah, nice ship. Yeah that's
cool. Uh yeah, I don't know.

853
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:19.880
I I messed around with that a
little bit on Xbox One or PC

854
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.800
PC. Okay, yeah, the
Horizon stuff I think is only on PC

855
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:28.440
right now. Okay, gosh,
what else? I don't know. I'm

856
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:32.719
still playing a lot of Super Mario
Maker. Yeah. I know what I

857
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:37.280
want to do for my next level. I have some ideas in mind,

858
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:40.239
but I'm gonna wait until this patch
deploys here over the next day or two

859
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:45.679
Is there a big overarching gimmick like
a puzzle. No, no, no,

860
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:46.639
no no, this is just like
I have, Like I could be

861
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:50.559
building parts of it right now if
I wanted to. Just they're just there's

862
00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:54.599
fucked up things, one of which
I tested out. Uh, that works,

863
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:59.920
That's a that's a pretty messed up
thing. Is it a bunch of

864
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.559
different messed up things or is it
kind of a cohesive one well fucked up

865
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.360
most of if you think think about
the levels that I'm making, Yeah,

866
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:12.480
they are a series of fucked up
things. My my least favorite thing you

867
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:15.360
do in your levels is the hey, let's start start off the level with

868
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.920
something fucked up. Yeah, like
that one jump. Yeah, here's the

869
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.440
thing you have to get good at
or because you're going to be doing it

870
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.119
a lot. Yeah yeah. Yeah. I'm liking your path to the dark

871
00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:29.920
side with these Mario Maker levels.
I really like your the new levels you've

872
00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:31.960
been doing. They're unpleasant. Yeah, that is that is my motif.

873
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:36.239
It's like making levels that are unpleasant, and you are helping to break down

874
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:38.480
my opponent too, So I thank
you for softening him. I'm not making

875
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:42.440
levels for him. I make these
levels for me. But you get some

876
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:45.679
joy out of seeing people fail.
Oh yeah, yeah, anybody, anybody,

877
00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:47.679
Yeah, seeing anybody bang ahead against
this these nightmares. It's a great

878
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:53.440
joy of that game. It's definitely
Yeah, it's absolutely joy and yeah,

879
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:58.159
yeah, Sha with your family.
I'm curious what your thing is. I

880
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.719
don't know if I talked about it. It was one of the it was

881
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:06.000
something we talked about last week.
Oh, doesn't involve Piece Witches. Everything

882
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:09.760
involves Piece Witches level I think I
know, okay, yeah, that that

883
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:14.960
thing totally works. Fuck, And
there are ways and I've thought about ways

884
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:16.840
to make it way worse than what
we discussed as well, because it sounded

885
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:21.159
really bad just from what we discussed. It's it's a timing thing. It's

886
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:23.079
very tricky. I mean, it's
whatever. It's not like the hardest thing

887
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:25.000
in the world, but you know, it's a fuck up thing you have

888
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:28.559
to do. That game is awesome. It is really good. The new

889
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:30.920
event courses they put out, that's
kind of fun. There's some what's that

890
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:35.679
weird Belty guy. Yeah, it's
good from Earthbound? Oh okay, yeah,

891
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:37.360
because mister Saturn from Earth Yeah,
I think both those guys are from

892
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:43.199
from Earthbounds. Okay, okay,
yeah, or some something in that series.

893
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:45.159
I don't know them, or from
the same game or not. Uh

894
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.960
yeah, so I don't know.
I've been I pretty much played that game

895
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:51.239
every day at this point. Yeah, and I've met it for a long

896
00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:53.679
time. So I just I just
play levels until I feel like I have

897
00:52:53.800 --> 00:53:00.719
enough bad ideas to turn into some
kind of twisted garbage and then pump out

898
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:05.599
said twisted garbage and then get back
to planet. Ye. Uh yeah,

899
00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:07.920
so I don't know. Some news
happened. Uh you know, we're at

900
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:10.360
the end of the year. There's
it was a Formula E race this weekend.

901
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:14.920
Yeah yeah, and how did that
go? How did how were the

902
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.239
electric cars doing? Have they started
the robot races yet? No? I

903
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:21.119
think that's next year. Okay,
I think they just announced they had ads.

904
00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:24.559
They like, they had banners said
robo race along the race track.

905
00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:29.639
Great? Yeah, great. Formula
is like the Wild West, right,

906
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:32.239
isn't like it's some weird shit going
on. Yeah, it's where they're trying

907
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:36.719
all their weird yea ideas. Okay, it's someone if you get like enough

908
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:39.880
hashtags or car blasts off into space
or something. Yeah, fan boost Yeah

909
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:45.719
yeah, sure, why not.
Yeah, so, yeah, we we

910
00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:49.079
are at the end of the year. There's not that much going on.

911
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:55.079
But that said, some big stuff
happened. Hedeo Kojima in the news one

912
00:53:55.199 --> 00:54:00.280
last time for twenty fifteen. Maybe
I don't even know. Yeah, I

913
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:01.400
guess, I guess. I don't
know that. I guess Joaquim Mogram could

914
00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:04.679
pop up at any time, any
at any moment, that guy's going to

915
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:06.760
show up and say, no,
I'm still working on the Fox Engine over

916
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:08.960
here. I'm ready. Uh speaking
of which is as an aside, the

917
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:12.920
dude from the Fox Engine is now
at Namco. They put out on press

918
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:15.000
release about that. Uh kind of
just says it's going to be working on

919
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:19.519
some kind of core technology stuff.
God, he's gonna be so good.

920
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.400
Yeah. Also Namco bringing some games
over h Gundham gonna come over here.

921
00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:27.320
I cannot believe that. Seriously,
that was just the Vita version. And

922
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:31.360
yeah, I'm I'm baffled. I'm
pleasantly surprised that they're bringing this over to

923
00:54:31.400 --> 00:54:35.960
the States. That's that's totally get
You got Eater games coming over to the

924
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:39.280
US. Yeah, Oh, I
mean yeah, they're remaking. We're not

925
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:46.199
remaking rereleasing the first one, and
then the second one is being ported over

926
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:51.320
here. So is Gundam famous for
being games or for being like little robots

927
00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:58.000
you paint? Isn't that? Was
it an anime first? Yes? So

928
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:01.559
it is most famous probably manga?
Yeah, probably at some point. Okay,

929
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:06.920
so the Manka is very famous,
but then the hotama came afterwards.

930
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.079
Right, okay, you're getting hanging
us. Yeah, yeah, no,

931
00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:13.039
this is good stuff. You should
probably go live in Japan now yeah.

932
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.280
Yeah, I'm ready. Yeah,
let's see here Namco. Yeah. They

933
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:20.920
laid out an announcement on Sony's blog. Yeah uh, new tales game,

934
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:25.039
Tales of burstsaria as you made that
up? Yeah no, now, I'm

935
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:30.719
no. I'm saying crazy stuff that'll
be coming to North America. JoJo's Bizarre

936
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:35.679
Adventure Eyes of Heaven cool. PS
four got either Resurrection and got either to

937
00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:38.760
Rage Burst. Fuck, that's it, says PS four and Vita. I

938
00:55:38.760 --> 00:55:43.000
don't know if that means both games
are for both or if it's one of

939
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:45.920
that. I don't know. I
know, got either to your Rage Burst

940
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:49.199
is four? PS four in right, I don't know about the Resurrection think

941
00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:52.920
I yeah, Resurrection might be I
think it's just PS four I don't know,

942
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:59.639
and Mobile suit gun damn Extreme VI
vs Force is it v's Force or

943
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:02.000
versus Force versus? Okay, that's
why I figured. And that's for Vitas.

944
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:06.760
Yeah, so congratulations to the nine
people that still know where their Vita

945
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:09.239
is. I do, uh,
I don't think I know where minds.

946
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:15.239
I have two Vitas in a PlayStation
TV. Ask me anything, where are

947
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:20.800
they? I have no fucking idea. Yeah. So that's yeah, that's

948
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:24.519
that's Namco's announcement. That's cool stuff. More stuff coming to the US that

949
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.679
especially stuff that you wouldn't necessarily automatically
assume would come over. So I thought

950
00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:32.199
the Gunda game was a doomed especially
after like Rise of Incarnates you know,

951
00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:36.880
which is in that same line of
gameplay. But it's not a Gundam game.

952
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:38.199
I mean to be like, you
know that's got a license attached to

953
00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:43.480
it, that it has a fan
base here even they're fervent. Yeah,

954
00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:46.760
they're they're they're crazy people. Oh
yeah, they're crazy for Gundam. They're

955
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:51.679
still a very niche have you played
this game? How many much Gundhams are

956
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:54.039
in this game? Many many Gundams. Yeah, I haven't played this particular

957
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:58.599
one, but yeah, is there
one hundred gundams? Maybe? Is there

958
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:06.519
over one hundred gundams wish? I
don't know, Actually, zion infinite amounts

959
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:09.360
of gun dun. I don't know. I don't know what I just said.

960
00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:14.199
I don't know either. It's sounded
very haname though. Yeah. Anyway,

961
00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:20.639
Hideokojima is making a game. Oh
at Cogima Productions. That's a clever

962
00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:23.960
name for his new studio. Yeah, so that's yeah, that's now a

963
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:28.320
fun new database thing on our end, where we have two things called Cogema

964
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:32.199
Productions. One has a sick logo, one does have a six skull logo.

965
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:36.800
I mean, the old Fox with
lightning feet was pretty cool, that

966
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:39.280
thing. Never the proportions on the
that always looked fucked up to me,

967
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:43.920
where I just looked like a weird, swishy, swirly design. What I

968
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:45.559
mean, if you'll stare at it, you're like, oh, it's it's

969
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:47.239
a fox with lightning feet, but
it's too tall. The whole thing looks

970
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:52.199
like a sixteen by nine movie crammed
onto a four by three screen. Like

971
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:54.159
the whole thing that Yeah, the
aspect ratio on that patch is dumb,

972
00:57:55.599 --> 00:58:00.639
like he's on stilts and people.
Yeah he's he's sneaking. He's sneaking,

973
00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:04.559
you know how like when cats or
whatever sneak still their back, still back.

974
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:07.480
No, the lightning fox is just
sneaking because it's a sneaking mission.

975
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:10.599
If they'd stretched that thing out to
a circle instead of it's weird vertical oval

976
00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:15.360
thing, everything about that would look
like it would be more readable as,

977
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:16.800
oh, it's a fox with a
lightning feet. Instead I just looking and

978
00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:20.880
go, oh, it's crazy some
kind of It took a while for that,

979
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:22.239
I think, for me to look
at it long enough, because I

980
00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:27.400
didn't stare at the that logo that
much, unlike you. Apparently I've looked

981
00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:29.519
at that a lot where just like
I don't know, some deisign think it's

982
00:58:29.519 --> 00:58:31.199
like, oh, oh it's actually
a thing, all right. I'm not

983
00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:37.480
sure. I like the new text. Yeah, typographically, oh production,

984
00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:45.480
it's skull in armor. It's similar
to pretty Terminator two super Nintendo font in

985
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.920
Japan. I want to say,
uh, let me, let me look

986
00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:57.199
at it again and see if I'm
just crazy, but uh yeah, it

987
00:58:57.239 --> 00:59:00.880
seems kind of similar to a font
that Nintendo is used. If I'm if

988
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:07.880
I'm not mistaken him. CoA still
publishing Dark Souls, right, yeah,

989
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:12.360
yes, yeah, that is that
is theirs, right. Yeah. So

990
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:15.800
anyway, that's that was an announcement
that came out I guess like the day

991
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:19.000
after his contract was up, so
it was like the sixteenth or something like

992
00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:22.199
that. Like get this video the
fifteenth he was on vacation. Yeah,

993
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:25.159
the sixteenth year on vacation and guy, did you watch the video? Yeah?

994
00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:30.440
And House Yeah yeah, it's just
Andy House just spitting game in perfect

995
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:34.840
Japanese. Yeah really yeah, no, he's he's yeah, he's he's the

996
00:59:34.880 --> 00:59:37.519
head of you know, he's he's
been there a long time. He's very

997
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:39.599
fluent. Does he have a British
accent? I don't think so really.

998
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:43.400
I mean I don't speak Japanese,
so I can't really tell you if it's

999
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:46.159
accented or not. But anyway,
just spitting game, but all this stuff,

1000
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:50.239
and there's this great moment where he
said like there's you know, he's

1001
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:54.079
talking about this stuff coming and then
pans over and it's Kojima. They're sitting

1002
00:59:54.079 --> 00:59:59.840
next to him on the couch the
whole time. Only he's got a goatee.

1003
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:05.800
Really, yes, yes, yes, and great, it's it's a

1004
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:08.719
it's a great dumb video, just
like, man, there were there probably

1005
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:12.719
was a better way to announce all
this stuff, but no, this is

1006
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:16.440
actually that's actually pretty good. Guys
who made the game sharing video? Right,

1007
01:00:16.519 --> 01:00:20.679
yeah? Pretty much. I really
like the no wasting time thing.

1008
01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:22.760
It's like, all right, I'm
out of there here, I am now

1009
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:25.719
immediately. I wonder if he'll make
movies. No, he will make a

1010
01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:31.559
game for the for the PlayStation family
of consoles or I guess actually they're saying

1011
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:37.280
PlayStation four. But it's definitely one
of those things where it's like, uh,

1012
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:39.639
by the time he gets so,
I mean, they're on the website

1013
01:00:39.719 --> 01:00:45.199
for the new Cojima productions. There
are a lot of job listings for people

1014
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:47.440
in different roles. It seems like
some people are definitely joining him on this

1015
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:52.239
adventure from his former workplace. But
it does mean if I worked to Konami,

1016
01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:55.039
I would immediately jump ship. Yes, oh yeah, yeah totally.

1017
01:00:55.039 --> 01:00:58.000
I mean if you were, if
you were part of his crew before,

1018
01:00:58.519 --> 01:01:00.480
be like, well yeah no,
would we gonna sit here and figure out

1019
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:04.000
more ways to get people to buy
MB coins? Fuck now we're getting out

1020
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:07.559
of here. Uh, we're rolling
out starting something assuming they've got money,

1021
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:09.760
you know, like you know,
who knows what the financial realities of it

1022
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:13.400
are. But they are hiring a
ton of people, and they have first

1023
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:16.320
party Sony Studio. No, they
are not owned by Sony. Sony is

1024
01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:20.320
doing this deal with them. Uh
So this is a street Fight or five

1025
01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:25.719
situation. Uh No, because Capcom
this is probably probably a bit more like

1026
01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:30.480
a Grand Terrismo situation. Okay,
okay, or something like that. So

1027
01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:35.880
I hope it involves him getting a
ton of money to do whatever batshit crazy

1028
01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:37.719
thing he wants to do. That's
what I want. I'm so glad he's

1029
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:43.679
allied with Sony here and not just
going immediately the kickstarter Like, yeah,

1030
01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:47.079
he's gonna have money and that's the
best thing. No, No, I

1031
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:50.880
bet he. I bet he has
a more reasonable budget if anything else.

1032
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:54.159
Yeah, definitely, I would.
I would think that, and most games

1033
01:01:54.159 --> 01:01:59.480
have a smaller budget. IGN has
an interview with him that they didn't had

1034
01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:01.880
prepped before for this announcement, that
they had some kind of exclusive thing with

1035
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:05.960
them for this. I didn't actually
watch the interview, but my understanding is

1036
01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:07.760
that there's there's a bit of a
no we want to get a game out

1037
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:13.159
there kind of vibe to it,
wouldn't exclusivity like means he's gonna have more

1038
01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:15.320
money to play with. And if
he had just gone totally independent with some

1039
01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:19.559
Kickstarter thing or something, probably so
well, I don't know. That's that's

1040
01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.039
a good question, Like how much
money do you think he could have raised

1041
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:24.880
in a crowdfunding scenario, like probably
a recent amount? Is that even completely

1042
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:28.000
written out of the equation? I
mean it could be a shinmoo thing,

1043
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:30.480
couldn't it. Well, I think
Sony would end up publishing this game,

1044
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:32.320
and I think that would look real
crazy, yea for them to do that.

1045
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:37.519
So I'm gonna say probably not.
But yeah, I don't know.

1046
01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:39.840
It seems like that they are interested
in getting a game out there, and

1047
01:02:40.559 --> 01:02:45.360
you know, ship and stuff in
a way that you know, you you

1048
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:49.199
don't necessarily think of when you think
about that guy and metal Gear. So

1049
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.599
we'll have to see what this thing
ends up being and how it ends up

1050
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:54.360
taking shape. I think that'll be
really fun to watch over the next few

1051
01:02:54.440 --> 01:03:01.239
years. Yeah, fire Knots.
Yeah, Okay, it's just fun to

1052
01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:06.639
say fire Knots. There are some
people out there kind of putting together.

1053
01:03:06.719 --> 01:03:09.800
You know, if you look at
the the logo of the skull and this

1054
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:14.960
little kind of stuit of armor thing
that there were some some ideas for like

1055
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:20.280
a Zone of the Enders style prequel
thing that had a similar piece of concept

1056
01:03:20.360 --> 01:03:23.760
attached to it, that maybe you
could see them getting into some mech business

1057
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:28.760
and you know, it's good,
no idea, who uh, there's there's

1058
01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:31.159
are Obviously there's a ton of speculation
out there around what this game will end

1059
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:36.840
up being. But yeah, I
don't know. I'm excited to see what

1060
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:39.519
that guy does next. I think
it's it's interesting, like you have to

1061
01:03:39.559 --> 01:03:45.079
wonder like was there a bidding war
to get his services? And you know,

1062
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:51.000
like how's that workout? And in
terms of just like does that make

1063
01:03:51.039 --> 01:03:53.480
money for Sony to do this deal? Or you know it was Microsoft hot

1064
01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:57.199
on the heels with a with a
counter offer? Was you know who who

1065
01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:00.079
was in the hunt for this thing? Uh? And and how to it

1066
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:04.320
all go down? That'd be nice
to know about in a public way someday,

1067
01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:11.679
but until then we will just wonder. Uh. Let's see here,

1068
01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:17.920
wind Jammers, let's talk about it. Okay, there's a guy from Korea.

1069
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:24.480
Yeah, Bu yeah, from Germany. He's kind of slow but power.

1070
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:29.159
Yeah, slow but powerful. Uh. This is from Nintendo Life.

1071
01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:33.719
They got a trailer here for a
game called Power Disc Slam, which is

1072
01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:39.440
coming to the three D se Shop
early next year from Checkered Cow Games.

1073
01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:43.000
It sounds like there's some uh,
some staffers on there that were previously at

1074
01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:49.159
Argonaut and Supermassive. Okay, and
they've got a trailer of what appears to

1075
01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:54.639
be this just kind of looks like
wind Jammers, but polygonal. I mean

1076
01:04:54.679 --> 01:04:57.000
there's a few games. There are
a few games there. There are more

1077
01:04:57.039 --> 01:05:00.719
and more games. Yeah. I
feel like that there's been this ground swell

1078
01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:04.400
of support for wind Jammers for some
reason over the past couple of years here,

1079
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:09.400
and people are starting to get games
ready. But this one's polygonal as

1080
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:12.559
well. It's still the top down
yeah, okay, it's still the top

1081
01:05:12.559 --> 01:05:15.639
town. Like looking at the trailer, they have played a lot of wind

1082
01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:18.679
Jammers. Okay, good. So
where's the other games that I feel like,

1083
01:05:18.679 --> 01:05:21.280
you know, we've tried that have
shown up in Steam, green Light

1084
01:05:21.360 --> 01:05:25.239
and some of these other places,
Like the roots are there, but they're

1085
01:05:25.239 --> 01:05:27.960
taking it in a different directions.
Yeah, this one just looks a little

1086
01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:30.920
bit more like wind Jammers. So
they are on the surface level a disc

1087
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:34.239
throwing, right, but but not
look man, wind jammers has depth.

1088
01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:40.320
Yeah, infinite depth, infinite infinite
depth. So I don't know. I

1089
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:44.679
am curious to see how that,
how that comes out. That's uh,

1090
01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:47.639
when's that coming out? Early next
year? Three D Shop So that's uh

1091
01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:53.480
the three DS. Yeah, that's
a weird okay, a weird mix.

1092
01:05:53.719 --> 01:06:02.199
But that's actually a quote here from
uh oh what's the name here? Uh,

1093
01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:06.480
David McEwen, who is working on
this game, about that. He

1094
01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:11.239
says, I've got a huge fondness
for working within limitations and with unusual hardware.

1095
01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:14.159
So the three DS suits me down
to a t. It's like this

1096
01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:17.360
weird backhanded like fuck the three DS, but it's fun. Uh no,

1097
01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:23.360
that's not really saying. But anyway, which said the best of luck.

1098
01:06:23.400 --> 01:06:26.039
I would like to see one of
these games actually ship yeah, and be

1099
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:29.079
and be done. So that's be
good and be good and be good.

1100
01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:32.960
I think that's yes, there's no
guarantee that someone's sitting down trying to even

1101
01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:36.679
even if they're trying to faithfully remake
win Jammers, there's no guarantee that game

1102
01:06:36.719 --> 01:06:42.079
is gonna be any good at all. It seems like the path to that

1103
01:06:42.199 --> 01:06:44.239
is a hard one, because if
you stick too close to it, then

1104
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:46.480
why wouldn't I just play win Jammers
Exactly? If you deviate too much,

1105
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:49.480
then I'd rather just play win Jammers. Yep, there's it's it's very hard

1106
01:06:49.480 --> 01:06:54.239
to win in that situation. But
I think it needs that win Jammers title.

1107
01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:56.880
And you think that's that's a part
of it. I think that's just

1108
01:06:56.920 --> 01:06:59.360
like just like you can't make an
unlicensed football game, you can't make an

1109
01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:01.280
unlicensed win Jammers name. Yeah,
I don't know. I think even a

1110
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:04.280
license win Jammers sequel would kind of
be a bad idea at this point.

1111
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:08.559
No, that'd be a great idea
because then they would have the name,

1112
01:07:08.679 --> 01:07:12.079
and then they would suck it up
if they didn't. But if they didn't,

1113
01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:14.559
yeah, but I think the way
to to not fuck it up is

1114
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:16.960
to put out wind Jammers with good
net code done, you know, like

1115
01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:19.079
that's that's all that needs to be
done. Yet, you know, I'm

1116
01:07:19.079 --> 01:07:21.239
not looking for like, hey,
we you can jump now. You know.

1117
01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:25.880
It's not the things that someone would
try to bring to a new Win

1118
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:30.920
jammers, I think gets away from
what I would want win jammers. Yeah,

1119
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:34.480
yeah, so I don't know that's
that is a weird one. Uh.

1120
01:07:34.559 --> 01:07:39.360
Let's see last bit of news here
that I've got Destiny. Maybe you've

1121
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:42.920
heard of it, not for a
while. Uh. They are for thirty

1122
01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:46.360
dollars. You can buy a boost
to level twenty five thirty dollars. Thirty

1123
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:53.960
dollars. So I got level that
boost ticket or token or whatever. I

1124
01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:57.880
enjoyed using that, but it sucks
that it was like a one time thing

1125
01:07:58.039 --> 01:08:00.639
or whatever. I did realize it
was across the whole thing because I used

1126
01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:03.079
it to just go from twenty to
twenty five with the Tekan King. I

1127
01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:06.920
didn't realize that you get one per
account, not one per character, so

1128
01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:11.039
I wasted that thing. Well,
there's thirty dollars you could buy another one.

1129
01:08:11.239 --> 01:08:15.000
Do you actually buy that item like
that? Same? Probably? So,

1130
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:17.199
I'm not sure. So what it
does. It is the way they're

1131
01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:20.000
selling it, at least on the
PlayStation. I didn't look on the Xbox

1132
01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:24.000
side of things, but they have
three different thirty dollars purchases, one for

1133
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:28.239
each class. So it seems like
you buy a Titan Boost. Okay,

1134
01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:30.960
and then that might just come with
that item because it comes with some other

1135
01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:34.960
stuff here. It also comes with
something that boosts one of your subclasses up

1136
01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:40.239
to the max huh, and telemetries, which are items you can use to

1137
01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:44.399
increase the rate at which your weapons
gain experience. Sure it comes with some

1138
01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:47.640
of those as well. Basically,
yeah, sure, yeah, I guess

1139
01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:50.840
it doesn't affect I don't know my
enjoyment of it if other people who are

1140
01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:54.680
paying the level up, just I
think you wanted to raid with people this

1141
01:08:54.760 --> 01:08:58.279
is these Yeah, I don't see
the problem of that at some point.

1142
01:08:58.279 --> 01:09:00.399
It's just like it's not that hard
to level in that game once because once

1143
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:04.279
you hit you don't have to play
Destiny. Though yeah you do. But

1144
01:09:04.359 --> 01:09:08.560
also like they reworked a lot of
the early parts of Destiny to make it

1145
01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:12.079
easier and more playable, Like someone
who has played a lot of Destiny,

1146
01:09:12.119 --> 01:09:15.720
which would ostensibly think that would be
the audience for something like this, Like

1147
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:18.039
it wouldn't be that hard for them
to get there, like I have.

1148
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:20.439
Maybe it's like geared toward people who
were like, oh, I have this

1149
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:24.119
sweet Titan, but we already have
enough Titans in my raid group. I'm

1150
01:09:24.119 --> 01:09:27.680
gonna boost up somebody else or some
new players of Destiny that want to raid

1151
01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:30.439
with their friends and want to be
there faster I think is maybe one of

1152
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:32.880
the others. But like to start
the game and immediately want to go into

1153
01:09:32.880 --> 01:09:36.680
a raid that I don't know it's
but twenty five you would still have to

1154
01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:40.680
do like the Taking King right right, storyline stuff. You know, you

1155
01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:44.800
still have to hit forty you stull
have to do stuff thirty dollars, thirty

1156
01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:46.119
dollars. I mean, it's dumb, but if people want to do dumb

1157
01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:49.600
things with their money, go for
it. The Taking King was forty yeah,

1158
01:09:49.720 --> 01:09:55.319
yeah, and came with one of
those yeah, so like ah man,

1159
01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:59.079
yeah, I don't know. I
yes, on on some level,

1160
01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:01.600
if people want to buy that dumb
shit, they should be allowed to yeah,

1161
01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:03.880
and they should be allowed to offer
that, like I just yeah,

1162
01:10:04.199 --> 01:10:06.800
why that hurts anything. I think
it's just one of those things that,

1163
01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:12.640
like I think it's really gross when
games make you or ask you, hey,

1164
01:10:12.880 --> 01:10:15.680
do you want to not play our
game? We've got an offee for

1165
01:10:15.760 --> 01:10:17.479
you, Like, well, what
the what are you buying? So you

1166
01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:20.119
just like, like I remember one
of the first examples of that was some

1167
01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:25.560
Tiger Woods game on three sixty you
could just like buy right like stats nine

1168
01:10:25.720 --> 01:10:28.319
that one. That one was fucked
up because that was an example of paying

1169
01:10:28.319 --> 01:10:30.039
for cheats. Would that take you? Oh? You could bring that online?

1170
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:32.439
And yeah, because it was just
like, you know, hey,

1171
01:10:32.720 --> 01:10:35.479
you can buy pass the whole progression
right here, max out your golf,

1172
01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:39.239
max out your golfer for this amount
of money. Some stuff that used to

1173
01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:42.479
be a cheat and Tiger Woods.
This is more like uh in World of

1174
01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:45.840
Warcraft. Over the years, as
they've uh you know, like continued to

1175
01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:48.399
trivialize a lot of the older content, they have been like, hey,

1176
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:51.079
we'll give you a free upgrade level
seventy if you buy this thing now,

1177
01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:54.600
or hey we'll sell you this to
do this, and it's just like,

1178
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:56.760
hey, you want a max level
character. I guess one of those things

1179
01:10:56.800 --> 01:11:00.720
where you're just like this, the
structure of these games must be broken.

1180
01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:03.560
If that's the solution, that's just
I don't play any of this ship just

1181
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:06.159
just buy the thing again. Yeah, I think it's dumb if you buy

1182
01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:09.319
it, like, I don't know
why you would. If you want to

1183
01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:11.039
play a game, you want to
play it. You don't want to skip

1184
01:11:11.199 --> 01:11:13.560
giant chunks of it. Well,
but if again, if you're like,

1185
01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:15.840
if you've got a main character and
you want to play a different class,

1186
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:18.520
you don't want to go through all
that stuff that you already played, right

1187
01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:21.039
again, that I understand. And
all the friends that you do want to

1188
01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:25.920
play with are already at that max
level, they're already rating. That's what

1189
01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:28.960
you want to hop into, you
know, as soon as possible possible to

1190
01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:31.359
play with them. But so I
have a low level Destiny character that I

1191
01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:39.199
play off and on when I get
super bored of everything life. Yeah,

1192
01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:41.239
and that stuffs all, Like,
you know, you can still go play

1193
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:44.640
multiplayer and gain experience and you're just
as effective, you know, as you

1194
01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:46.199
would be at max level because the
way they balance that stuff out, you

1195
01:11:46.239 --> 01:11:48.880
know, the racing still works even
if you're a low level, Like there's

1196
01:11:49.159 --> 01:11:55.000
there's stuff you can do in that
game to level up that is not that

1197
01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:57.760
much different from the things you would
be doing with your max level character.

1198
01:11:58.119 --> 01:12:02.079
So that's the thing, is like
why not just play it? Like what

1199
01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:04.840
do you do? What are you
doing? You'll get drops along the way,

1200
01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:09.359
maybe you'll get something cool. Actually
would you wouldn't get anything cool until

1201
01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:12.520
you'll have a forty, but I
don't know, it's it's just it's just

1202
01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:16.199
a weird thing that it's a weird
thing. It's expensive. Also, thirty

1203
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:20.199
dollars is a lot of sucking money. But there's no reason to buy it.

1204
01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:23.600
Like, it's not like it's again, it's just not hurting your enjoyment

1205
01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:25.800
of it. If you want to
play it like you normally play Destiny,

1206
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:29.600
just do it. Yeah, sure, but think about the narrative. I

1207
01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:31.840
think about the way Destiny has changed
as of late, like post the release

1208
01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:35.079
of The Taking King. The things
they've added to it, the things they've

1209
01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:39.520
they've done are, hey, here's
this this racing thing that's not so good.

1210
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:44.239
H By the way, we're not
going to issue content the same way

1211
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:46.199
we have. We're just gonna put
out more events, and so far the

1212
01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:49.479
events that they've had have not been
very good. I was underwhelmed by that.

1213
01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:54.119
And Halloween things, and yeah,
the Halloween thing also and and by

1214
01:12:54.119 --> 01:12:57.760
the way, we're adding a bunch
of micro transaction based stuff to the game,

1215
01:12:58.119 --> 01:13:00.720
like that that's stopping new content coming
out. I mean, is they're

1216
01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:05.920
not putting any new content out in
like story mission content. It's like them

1217
01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:09.640
saying, like, I thought,
these Christian actions we're supposed to fund.

1218
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:15.000
It's supposed to fund the events team, the events team basically, which is

1219
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:17.239
so far the events of the Halloween
and this racing thing, and both of

1220
01:13:17.279 --> 01:13:19.840
them are lame. So it's one
of tho things where it's like, Okay,

1221
01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:24.760
well mate, what what are you
doing? It just it paints a

1222
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:26.760
very strange picture. For Jess,
You're right, no one ever has to

1223
01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:30.000
buy into that stuff, and why
would you ever buy fucking wave emots and

1224
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:33.680
also their bullshit like who cares?
But at the same time, it just

1225
01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:38.119
makes that game seem like it's on
like a kind of a negative path again,

1226
01:13:38.319 --> 01:13:40.640
which is weird because it felt like
they were kind of turning it around.

1227
01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:44.239
Yeah, I'm super curiously the next
actual gameplay thing they did after King

1228
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:45.199
was awesome, So but maybe it's
just one of those things where it's like,

1229
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:46.760
yeah, you know, most people
are going to step away from it

1230
01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:49.439
and come back, and we actually
put real content out. So for you

1231
01:13:49.560 --> 01:13:53.159
suckers who were going to play us
every day, right, you're going to

1232
01:13:53.239 --> 01:13:56.159
be the person that eventually snaps and
goes, I want to do the fun

1233
01:13:56.279 --> 01:14:00.520
dance. Here's four dollars. You
know, I don't know whatever. Okay,

1234
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:03.800
so is that all the news?
That's all? That's all the news.

1235
01:14:03.880 --> 01:14:05.520
I got. I got something real
quick. What do you got?

1236
01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:13.079
What you got? Die Goomahara?
Uh huh fabled legend street fire fighter player

1237
01:14:13.159 --> 01:14:16.039
in the fighting game community. Yes, uh won a bunch of money at

1238
01:14:16.039 --> 01:14:21.600
Capcom Cup and he's donating it all. No. Really, the EVO Scholarship

1239
01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:26.800
Fund nice, like sixty thousand dollars
that He's just like, you know what,

1240
01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:29.960
fighting game community has been super good
to me. I'm gonna give it

1241
01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:31.640
back. So yeah, all his
winnings going back to that, and that

1242
01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:35.279
scholarship fund is like a game design
school in New York or something, so

1243
01:14:35.960 --> 01:14:41.159
all the yeah, they pay for
somebody's tuition there. They're gonna pay for

1244
01:14:41.199 --> 01:14:44.079
someone to go on to make really
bad fighting games. Probably, Yeah,

1245
01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:47.760
I'm down. Like I don't know
how much money you make off of stuff

1246
01:14:47.760 --> 01:14:50.960
like that, Like he's I don't
follow the competitive fighting scene, but like

1247
01:14:51.000 --> 01:14:56.640
I've heard of him. Uh is
he rich off of that? Like he

1248
01:14:56.840 --> 01:15:00.640
makes a living off of that?
Rich? She is like that? I

1249
01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.960
think he would have like sponsorship money
from people or from companies or whatever.

1250
01:15:04.119 --> 01:15:06.680
Well, right, yep, yeah, they they flame around, they pay

1251
01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:10.000
him a salary and stuff like that. I think so, yeah, I'm

1252
01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:13.000
assuming like being able to give aways
sixty thousand dollars like that you're probably doing.

1253
01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:15.199
Was Capcom Cup run? And was
it four? Or was it five?

1254
01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:18.359
What are they playing? What the
switch Street Fighter did they play for?

1255
01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:21.079
Okay? Is it? Is it
kind of the last big hurrah for

1256
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:26.239
four? Yeah? This pass Capcom
Cup was the last big hurrah for for

1257
01:15:26.319 --> 01:15:28.439
four. I think so, and
then five is going to start up,

1258
01:15:28.439 --> 01:15:30.479
I think and March. I guess
at final round. I guess it's fitting

1259
01:15:30.640 --> 01:15:34.600
for Diego to take it shut it
down. Super cool of him. Yeah,

1260
01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:40.439
I think I mean sixteen grand Man. Yeah awesome, Yeah, good,

1261
01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:44.600
good on him. That's my nimes
cool. Uh. Let's get into

1262
01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:47.960
some emails. These came into bomb
cast at giant bomb dot com, which

1263
01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:53.640
is an email address that you can
send things to. Okay, I pulled

1264
01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:59.159
a lot of stuff here, good
and I and I ignored a lot of

1265
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:00.920
stuff. A lot of people are
sending a lot of stuff because a lot

1266
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:03.800
of it is terrible. Is that
from the tumblr? No, that stuff

1267
01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:08.560
was actually ignored a lot of stuff
there Okay, all right, but there

1268
01:16:08.560 --> 01:16:13.039
you go. Uh, let's see, let's just get into it. Aaron

1269
01:16:13.039 --> 01:16:15.079
writes, and it says, would
you guys consider doing a fan event in

1270
01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:19.319
VR when those social programs come out? I imagine it would be like a

1271
01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:23.760
shared VR space where we can all
watch and comment on a live stream,

1272
01:16:23.880 --> 01:16:28.920
or maybe you could even host something
that sounds weird when we all we all

1273
01:16:29.199 --> 01:16:31.560
used to get together in a PlayStation
home that was fun. I was gonna

1274
01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:35.399
say that last home stream I thought
was really funny where Jeff you were playing,

1275
01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:39.239
and sure a bunch of random people, like when there's some Doctor Pepper

1276
01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:42.760
vending machine chasing around or something.
Probably, Yeah, I want to see

1277
01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:45.239
what weird stuff would happen from that
lot. Yeah, it's just I guess

1278
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:47.800
it's just one of those things we'll
potentially have to think about at some point,

1279
01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:51.600
like if should that stuff become available? I think they'd be pretty fun.

1280
01:16:51.680 --> 01:16:54.840
Yeah, yeah, or a nightmare
or both. I don't know.

1281
01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:59.079
Public event makes I don't know that
that's kind of an intimidating thing. We'll

1282
01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:01.720
do a stream and then we'll see
what happens. That's kind of way up,

1283
01:17:01.760 --> 01:17:04.920
but like a public event in VR
right, Like, so everyone has

1284
01:17:04.960 --> 01:17:08.800
to put on their helmets and then
we walk around. Okay, that sounds

1285
01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:14.319
awesome. Yeah, I'm totally down
for the idea. Yeah yeah, oh

1286
01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:19.439
god, that's going to be scary
and then we kiss. Patty in Australia

1287
01:17:20.159 --> 01:17:24.800
says I saw a lady in line
at Target with a copy of Tony Hawk's

1288
01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:29.960
pro Skater five, presumably buying it
for her niece or son. The price

1289
01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:33.800
was forty dollars Australian, which is
discount prices here. So soon after the

1290
01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:38.439
game's release, should I have said
something? I don't want to be the

1291
01:17:38.439 --> 01:17:42.279
guy who spews out his gaming tastes
to complete strangers. But this kid is

1292
01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:45.079
going to have his Christmas ruined.
Maybe the kid will learn a valuable lesson

1293
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:48.119
to never trust adults, or maybe
that kid is a piece of shit and

1294
01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:53.720
deserves that games. I don't know. I think it's always fine to step

1295
01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:57.439
in to those type of decision like
this happened to be numerous times and targets

1296
01:17:57.439 --> 01:17:59.840
specifically yeah, or like you know, it's apparent you know that, it's

1297
01:17:59.880 --> 01:18:01.479
like audibly asking someone like I don't
know, is it supposed to be this?

1298
01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:04.600
Or this? Does a three DS
game playing a DS like like I

1299
01:18:04.640 --> 01:18:08.399
will step in and those, but
actually this and this and this and that's

1300
01:18:08.399 --> 01:18:12.199
just being helpful. I think anything
with matter of opinion, even though Tony

1301
01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:15.399
Hawk five is objectively terrible, Uh, it's opinion, and that kid might

1302
01:18:15.439 --> 01:18:18.039
have asked for it, so I'd
say you don't step in there. It

1303
01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:21.039
might be a young kid, and
young kids can overlook a lot of terrorists.

1304
01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:24.640
I think. Yeah, it's one
of those things where if if people

1305
01:18:24.640 --> 01:18:29.399
are kind of loudly asking or loudly
I might I'm gonna go like nah or

1306
01:18:29.399 --> 01:18:31.000
something, you know, just just
real quickly. Yeah, like if the

1307
01:18:31.079 --> 01:18:33.760
mom someone that controller is not going
to work with that, yeah, or

1308
01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:35.319
if the mom was like, hey, is this game good? If my

1309
01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:40.199
kid likes skateboarding games, well it's
no, it's not very good. No,

1310
01:18:40.319 --> 01:18:43.760
it's not. It's bad. So
I should I get Well, it's

1311
01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:48.640
not really call skate three. Yeah. M hmm. Yeah, yeah,

1312
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:51.119
I don't. I don't like to
don't. Yeah, don't be that guy.

1313
01:18:51.239 --> 01:18:56.920
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that. Yes, that goes weird places

1314
01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:02.560
fast. Uh. Yes. Josh
Risen says I like to group my games

1315
01:19:02.560 --> 01:19:06.079
together by genre, but there's a
certain group of games that I don't know

1316
01:19:06.079 --> 01:19:10.680
how to classify. It's a somewhat
subjective grouping, so I hope you understand

1317
01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:13.640
why they why they all seem related
to me. The games are, among

1318
01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:16.600
others, Eco Shadow of the Colossus, Legend of Zelda, and similarly structured

1319
01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:20.319
games like Ocami, Dark Siders,
et cetera, Journey Brothers, Beyond Good

1320
01:19:20.319 --> 01:19:24.640
and Evil, Enslaved Bastion, Cave
Story, The Swapper, and La mu

1321
01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:30.319
Lana. I can see what you're
going for here. At the beginning,

1322
01:19:30.319 --> 01:19:35.079
I got it the kind of action
adventures. You had console style adventure like

1323
01:19:35.119 --> 01:19:40.039
action adventure games there for a while, and then like The Swapper, and

1324
01:19:40.520 --> 01:19:44.399
there are a couple there that they
totally lost me on. Yeah, more

1325
01:19:44.399 --> 01:19:46.560
of a puzzle game. Yeah.
Cave Story and La Mulana are kind of

1326
01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:51.800
like they put that in the Spilunkey
section. I don't know. The best

1327
01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:55.960
term I found for the grouping is
adventure, since that is what the movie

1328
01:19:56.000 --> 01:19:59.479
genre would be, but adventure games
is already a term obviously, Maybe pulp

1329
01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:01.760
or question games. Help me,
You're my only hope. This is why

1330
01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:09.479
it's alphabetical all the fucking my My
wife tried to organize our DVDs by genre,

1331
01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:12.640
and it was the most nightmarish thing
you could think of. Yeah,

1332
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:18.159
that sounds awful. It was alphabetize
or color I want? Yeah, yeah,

1333
01:20:19.000 --> 01:20:23.920
what some people do? Color?
Color code? You're like, yeah,

1334
01:20:23.960 --> 01:20:28.239
you're they're usually the same, aren't
they necessarily? That sounds maddening.

1335
01:20:28.319 --> 01:20:30.920
But you want to go find Burnard
Parise, you go for the white one.

1336
01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:33.319
Nope, I don't. I don't
know that that's white on the spine.

1337
01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:40.319
Outside of like like when we was
doing the Red Mario games, it's

1338
01:20:40.399 --> 01:20:43.720
very rare that it would be like
different colors entirely, like the fonts and

1339
01:20:43.760 --> 01:20:46.279
the title treatments. Yeah, but
yeah, it works better for books.

1340
01:20:46.680 --> 01:20:49.720
Oh yeah, I can see that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

1341
01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:53.439
you know, a lot of these
games are just kind of the kind of

1342
01:20:53.439 --> 01:20:56.760
console style action invent like they were
the games that you used to call adventure

1343
01:20:56.800 --> 01:21:00.880
games back when consoles lived to completely
separately from the PC, you know,

1344
01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:05.159
because adventure meant very different things on
the PC than it did on consoles.

1345
01:21:05.279 --> 01:21:09.079
Yeah, but usually like point and
click, right, Yeah, we have

1346
01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:12.560
an adventure tag in our database,
right, we do, but it's primarily

1347
01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:16.560
for the PC, a take on
adventure games. So kind of what happened

1348
01:21:16.760 --> 01:21:20.680
is the games we thought of as
adventure games on console, you started referring

1349
01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:27.680
to those as action adventure in most
cases. Okay, so that's what the

1350
01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:32.199
majority of these games are. An
action adventure typically separates from pure action in

1351
01:21:32.199 --> 01:21:36.439
that action adventure might deal with a
larger world and larger scope, and also

1352
01:21:36.520 --> 01:21:42.359
an inventory stuff like that, perhaps
even stats, yes, perhaps even stats

1353
01:21:42.439 --> 01:21:45.319
light RPG elements. What do you
call games like God of War, Devil

1354
01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:50.000
May Cry, Heavenly Sword, character
character actions? Okay, remember the old

1355
01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:54.920
classification, but you would just call
that action stylish hard actions. See,

1356
01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:59.239
yeah, I reserved that mainly for
just Devil Might Cry. Yeah, Banata

1357
01:21:59.640 --> 01:22:02.960
yeah yeah yeah. Oh man,
that is in Smash. That should have

1358
01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:05.399
been a news story. Oh right, that's yeah, that's news. That's

1359
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:10.680
cool. Yeah is that out now? It was cloud out? In what

1360
01:22:11.159 --> 01:22:13.760
it is coming? We don't know. When there's another character they have a

1361
01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:15.600
sword? Do they sell packs of
those characters? I haven't gotten any of

1362
01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:19.920
the deals the packs are, like, whether you want it on both platforms

1363
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:23.800
or not, they're selling it like
game room. Oh you know, it's

1364
01:22:23.840 --> 01:22:28.439
so naturally of course, yeah,
where if you buy it per platform It's

1365
01:22:28.479 --> 01:22:31.039
like, was it six bucks?
But if you want both platforms and once

1366
01:22:31.119 --> 01:22:36.560
it's seven I think. I think
I don't see myself playing a three DS

1367
01:22:36.680 --> 01:22:42.199
one anytime soon. I am not
gonna play I have a version anytime soon.

1368
01:22:42.279 --> 01:22:46.640
I have purchased zero Smash Brothers DLC
me too, But I could I

1369
01:22:46.720 --> 01:22:51.199
could see myself playing that game in
the future. Yeah, I cannot.

1370
01:22:51.520 --> 01:22:56.439
H maxim Australia rights and it says
I remember watching a game show in Australia

1371
01:22:56.479 --> 01:23:00.239
where in one round the kids had
to play a Super Nintendo game. They

1372
01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:03.560
either had to collect coins in Mario
Kart, bananas in Donkey Kong Country,

1373
01:23:03.680 --> 01:23:09.159
or whatever the hell the collectible collectibles
are in Bubsy? Those are yarn balls.

1374
01:23:09.319 --> 01:23:14.600
I mean, come on, don't
be crazy cat. Was Bubbsy really

1375
01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:17.800
on that sort of level where it
was an immediately recognizable game that presumably kids

1376
01:23:17.840 --> 01:23:20.960
could pick up and play it because
of course they knew the great brand of

1377
01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:24.960
Bubsy? Was Bubbsy a big deal
when it came out? And what the

1378
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:29.039
fuck went on with Bubsy and that
goddamn sequel? Well, those are great

1379
01:23:29.119 --> 01:23:32.000
questions, weren't There was another side
scrolling Bubzy before three D right, there's

1380
01:23:32.000 --> 01:23:35.279
Bubbzy and Bubsy two and okay,
and then three three three D was the

1381
01:23:35.439 --> 01:23:38.720
one of the worst games ever for
sure. I mean one and two are

1382
01:23:38.800 --> 01:23:42.880
no like k I never really played
those and they're shit fests. Really,

1383
01:23:43.000 --> 01:23:45.000
yeah, they're fucking awful. Played
them on Friday, Yeah, I played

1384
01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:47.640
them on Friday, video on the
side, so they just came out on

1385
01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:54.840
Steam. Oh in the Bubsy two
for okay, and it appears to be

1386
01:23:55.159 --> 01:24:00.239
a retackage two hyphen fuf you are
yeah for because he's a podcast cat.

1387
01:24:00.640 --> 01:24:05.039
Do you remember the subtitle of the
first game clause Encounter of the Furred Kind.

1388
01:24:09.039 --> 01:24:15.439
That's pretty good. Bubbsy you know, was one of these like sad

1389
01:24:15.439 --> 01:24:18.199
attempts to make a Sonic the Hedgehog
game, because like there were some fast

1390
01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:20.840
moving moments in it, or you
get on these like water slides that would

1391
01:24:20.920 --> 01:24:24.079
kind of take you around a level
and you'd be like, oh, like

1392
01:24:24.119 --> 01:24:28.039
sonic, but shitty. Was it
like one step above Awesome Possum in terms

1393
01:24:28.039 --> 01:24:32.039
of quality? Yeah, okay,
awesome I mean in terms of animation and

1394
01:24:32.079 --> 01:24:36.439
playability, yes, yeah, but
because Awesome Possum is like a choppy,

1395
01:24:36.520 --> 01:24:40.840
fucked up mess on top of that. But I think I prefer things about

1396
01:24:40.880 --> 01:24:44.359
awesome possum because you learned something along
the way. It's about recycling, right,

1397
01:24:44.399 --> 01:24:46.760
Bubbsy, you just learned to hate
Bubbsy primarily. An awesome possum is

1398
01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:50.000
awesome. He's awesome. He says
so right at the start of the game,

1399
01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:54.600
and he kicks Doctor Machinos. But
this whole song, there's a whole

1400
01:24:54.600 --> 01:24:58.720
song, this Bubbsy thing that just
came out on Steam. It appears to

1401
01:24:58.720 --> 01:25:02.159
be Super Nintendo rom and a packaged
up emulator for how much it's like five

1402
01:25:02.199 --> 01:25:06.039
bucks or something, Okay, And
I think there might be some controversy about

1403
01:25:06.039 --> 01:25:12.159
the emulator stuff because it was an
open source emulator that is being sold and

1404
01:25:12.279 --> 01:25:16.119
the people that gave the permission to
do it aren't didn't make all the contributions.

1405
01:25:16.119 --> 01:25:20.800
Anyway, There's there's always some kind
of controversy when an open source project

1406
01:25:20.920 --> 01:25:25.079
goes on goes up for sale,
depending on how the licensing goes and all

1407
01:25:25.119 --> 01:25:28.760
the other stuff. But you know, whatever, that that's beyond the scope

1408
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:31.520
of this current discussion. I will
just say that it's jankie as fuck.

1409
01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:38.399
Uh and and it just doesn't Yeah, I remember hearing the name Bubbsy back

1410
01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:42.159
in the Genesis era. I had
never played it or even seen it until

1411
01:25:42.319 --> 01:25:45.600
your stream on Friday. Man,
that's hard to look at. It's a

1412
01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:49.159
real fucked up piece of garbage.
That camera is all over the place.

1413
01:25:49.279 --> 01:25:54.920
Yeah, yeah, and it's you
know, they're trying to put a lot

1414
01:25:54.920 --> 01:25:58.600
of frames of animation onto Bubsy to
make him this lifelike cartoonish character, as

1415
01:25:58.720 --> 01:26:01.840
was the custom at the time,
but like at the sac it sacrifices even

1416
01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:04.520
more playability than it would have had
without it, which would have not been

1417
01:26:04.600 --> 01:26:09.680
that much. Like the character just
controls like shit, and the game kind

1418
01:26:09.680 --> 01:26:11.760
of looks like shit. Yeah,
the camera's all over the place. It's

1419
01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:14.800
like impossible to keep track of what's
going on. It's just a it's a

1420
01:26:14.840 --> 01:26:18.600
really terrible game, and Bubbsy two
is somehow even worse. It's just like

1421
01:26:18.640 --> 01:26:25.319
this like insane. It's like a
crazy person's drug dream or something of just

1422
01:26:25.319 --> 01:26:27.960
like I don't even know where I'm
going, Like I've Bubsy just teleported into

1423
01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:29.680
this thing. Okay, what am
I doing now? I don't know?

1424
01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:32.640
Like what that thing sucks. They
were trying to push Bubsy pretty hard at

1425
01:26:32.640 --> 01:26:35.239
the time. I remember when it
was coming out. I have a plush

1426
01:26:35.279 --> 01:26:38.920
Bubbsy doll that was given out at
like early I guess it would have been

1427
01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:44.880
C yes, wouldn't even been E
three probably, but yeah, he was

1428
01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:47.840
just another one of those also ran
kind of characters that showed up in platformers

1429
01:26:48.039 --> 01:26:51.680
of like Arrow the acrobat quality of
like all these different games that we're trying

1430
01:26:51.720 --> 01:26:55.520
to dynamite Heady. Yeah, Dan, well, dynam my Heady was cool

1431
01:26:55.560 --> 01:26:59.039
game. Yes, that's difference there. James Pond. I love James Pond

1432
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:01.840
really, yeah you don't. He
was a fish that was named after James

1433
01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:05.239
Bond. He had a tuxedo and
a gun. But also the game sucked

1434
01:27:05.279 --> 01:27:09.000
ass. Yeah, there was a
fish in a tea, the fish in

1435
01:27:09.000 --> 01:27:12.119
the like yeah, the character like
all that stuff. I'm like yeah.

1436
01:27:12.119 --> 01:27:15.720
Also I was like eight when I
played it. Sure, like Bob Bobi.

1437
01:27:15.960 --> 01:27:19.720
Yeah that games are right, like
deeper than you would think it would

1438
01:27:19.720 --> 01:27:23.640
be. Yeah, but yeah,
I don't know. There was an era

1439
01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:26.680
where everyone was trying to get in
on that hot Sonic and Mario money,

1440
01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:29.119
and so they just came up with
like I don't know, what's a random

1441
01:27:29.159 --> 01:27:32.279
animal? An earthworm? All right, Okay, what's this Earthworm Okay?

1442
01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:34.640
How does it okay? How are
we gonna make an earthworm fun as it

1443
01:27:34.760 --> 01:27:38.479
as a video game in a man
suit? A man suit? Yeah all

1444
01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:40.439
right, I guess we could figure
out a way make they work. At

1445
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:43.720
least that game was unique and funny, and back then I remember it playing

1446
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:45.800
okay, But then when they did
Earthworm HD, It's like, oh this

1447
01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:49.520
actually it's not that great. It's
the weird dark secret about Earthworm Gym is

1448
01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:55.159
that the first level plays okay,
and then every level after that is total

1449
01:27:55.199 --> 01:27:59.279
shit. I remember in the first
game gets real hard. Second game is

1450
01:27:59.319 --> 01:28:02.159
a little more even, but man, that first game was which one at

1451
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:06.079
the level where Pete Puppy was walking
NonStop and he had to constantly whip him

1452
01:28:06.079 --> 01:28:12.960
over, like I hated it was
cool and earth from Gym you launched that

1453
01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:16.880
cow. Everything after that is downhill
comes back. Well yeah, I mean

1454
01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:21.239
they pay it off, which is
nice, but yeah, that game games.

1455
01:28:21.319 --> 01:28:27.479
That game great looking game. Another
example of just like like the animation

1456
01:28:27.560 --> 01:28:30.800
is like amazing, but or it
wasn't the time. Yeah, would you

1457
01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:33.840
throw crash into that to a certain
extent, I mean it's a couple of

1458
01:28:33.880 --> 01:28:36.920
years after that it was, but
it was and it was its own game,

1459
01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:41.119
but it was also like them very
clearly trying to establish like the way

1460
01:28:41.159 --> 01:28:44.840
they marketed around it, like trying
to like establish a mascot. Yeah uh.

1461
01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:48.039
And and so it kind of served
the same purpose in a weird way.

1462
01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:50.399
And it was a good game.
Yeah, yeah, there was a

1463
01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:55.439
Yeah, there's a couple of good
games there and Crash, I get it's

1464
01:28:57.359 --> 01:29:00.640
I still can't get over that dude
wearing that did you want you guys watch

1465
01:29:00.720 --> 01:29:04.439
the PSX keynote? I saw him
walking around PSX with that shirt. Yeah.

1466
01:29:04.239 --> 01:29:10.039
Yeah, Sean Layton, head of
head of PlayStation US were walking around

1467
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:12.239
with that. Yeah. I got
excited at first when it came out,

1468
01:29:12.279 --> 01:29:15.920
because, like everything, even if
it's bandicoot shirt. Yeah yeah, even

1469
01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:17.800
if it's something dumb like Phil Spencer
wearing a Battletoad shirt, and it wound

1470
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:20.880
up being like a killer instinct thing. At least that was something. There

1471
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:25.520
was nothing Crash Bandicoot at PSX.
Yeah, it just seems like the most

1472
01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:28.840
misguided, So like, like I
think have that done re releases that?

1473
01:29:29.159 --> 01:29:32.960
No? Uh, And someone wrote
in and I don't know that I pulled

1474
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:34.880
the email, but someone wrote in
and said that they had talked to a

1475
01:29:34.960 --> 01:29:42.840
drunk Activision rep, which checks out
who hasn't Yeah, And the story was

1476
01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:46.199
that Sony owns the rights to the
early games but not the character, and

1477
01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:50.439
Activision owns the rights to the character
but not the early games, and that

1478
01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:54.960
that significant business would have to go
down. It's it's you know, they

1479
01:29:54.960 --> 01:30:00.279
wanted crash Bandicoot for that Smash Brothers
rip off they made, but couldn't make

1480
01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:02.600
the business work, whether act you
know, activism. I think the story

1481
01:30:02.600 --> 01:30:06.319
I heard at the Times the Activison
was just like nah, but who knows.

1482
01:30:06.560 --> 01:30:09.880
Uh. So it's one of those
things where it's like, Okay,

1483
01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:13.640
you don't wear that T shirt unless
you've already businessed up and have something ready

1484
01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:18.039
to announce. And then if you
if you don't have that done, you

1485
01:30:18.159 --> 01:30:23.439
wearing the shirt probably just makes the
price of crash Bandicoot go up. Yeah,

1486
01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:28.479
because you wore it and about it. People got excited about it.

1487
01:30:29.039 --> 01:30:30.680
Yeah. It's like the idea is
to not talk about the thing for a

1488
01:30:30.680 --> 01:30:35.159
good long time so that the price
goes down because nobody remembers that dumb thing

1489
01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:40.239
anymore. And then you managed to
buy it like that it's I it just

1490
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:45.680
is fucking baffling that that whole thing
went through. Yep. Uh, that

1491
01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:47.920
that whole keynote went down with him
wearing that thing, and then there was

1492
01:30:47.960 --> 01:30:51.319
no payoff at the end of it, No one backstage because what you doing?

1493
01:30:51.399 --> 01:30:53.760
Hey, come on, don't do
that. What are you doing?

1494
01:30:54.119 --> 01:30:57.800
Uh? Yeah, that's that's why
I wear it. Just Blaine black shirts.

1495
01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:00.680
I have no business to announce ever. I don't want to commit to

1496
01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:02.239
anything. But if you ever came
in wearing something on your shirt, you'd

1497
01:31:02.279 --> 01:31:05.159
know, you know something. He
would have the announcement by the end of

1498
01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:08.079
the day. That's how you knew
you were having a baby. Yeah,

1499
01:31:08.239 --> 01:31:12.239
just that black shirt that said I'm
having a baby on him. I was

1500
01:31:12.279 --> 01:31:15.960
like, is that just like a
weird like piece of promo work from She's

1501
01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:17.239
having a baby, And you were
like, no, yeah, it's a

1502
01:31:17.239 --> 01:31:20.039
band. I mean, let's like
guy walking down the street the other day

1503
01:31:20.039 --> 01:31:24.039
with an Eddie Gurrow I'm your Poppy
shirt. I haven't seen that in a

1504
01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:26.640
while. Did you ask him for
it? He looks kind of crazy.

1505
01:31:26.880 --> 01:31:31.079
I would have said something if he
didn't look crazy. Go figure were wrestling

1506
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:33.880
a shirt from two thousand and two
you could have stopped the guy wearing a

1507
01:31:33.920 --> 01:31:39.000
wrestling shirt. Nook from South Carolina
writes in and says, I bought a

1508
01:31:39.039 --> 01:31:43.119
PlayStation Vita TV from best Buy on
Black Friday for twenty dollars. Nice.

1509
01:31:43.439 --> 01:31:46.000
My question, what the hell can
I do with this thing? You can

1510
01:31:46.159 --> 01:31:51.079
use, you know, a big
Boy controller with those Vida games. If

1511
01:31:51.079 --> 01:31:55.600
you don't like how the Vida feels, He goes, I could have to

1512
01:31:55.680 --> 01:31:58.000
a team. Okay. I bought
it thinking I could use it to something

1513
01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:00.640
similar to a Roku box. Turns
out Netflix, Amazon Prime aren't either compatible

1514
01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:04.039
with it or don't exist on the
PlayStation Vita TV looks like you can't really

1515
01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:08.039
play most games on it either.
Have any of you guys found a use

1516
01:32:08.119 --> 01:32:15.640
for this thing, big big,
big boy controller with what games? Freedom?

1517
01:32:15.279 --> 01:32:21.640
Uh? What the fuck's they called
us Cream Moorse Thank You, which

1518
01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:25.239
I still haven't really played all that
much, but uh huh, yep,

1519
01:32:26.039 --> 01:32:29.880
they put out that Persona that's a
good game. There we go, and

1520
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:32.039
you could get that game for like, you know, ten twenty dollars right

1521
01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:36.199
now, so you could have the
best version of that game played with a

1522
01:32:36.199 --> 01:32:41.720
big Boy controller for what forty bucks? There you go. It's golden only

1523
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:45.640
out on the Vita. Yeah,
that's I feel like that's like you bought

1524
01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:51.680
PlayStation don't ever buy a platform for
one game. Yeah, but if you

1525
01:32:51.720 --> 01:32:57.760
already have it, then the Vita
TV has been, i I, you

1526
01:32:57.800 --> 01:33:00.880
know, disappointing on so many levels, and they've just dropped it for the

1527
01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:03.720
most parts. Yeah, it was
like I felt it felt like they were

1528
01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:08.159
getting out of the Vita business as
that thing was coming out, and then

1529
01:33:08.920 --> 01:33:11.520
you know, they brought it to
the US for whatever reason, like to

1530
01:33:11.640 --> 01:33:14.720
then not support it. I was. I was really excited because I did

1531
01:33:14.760 --> 01:33:17.720
have like in it, a pretty
big like you know, PlayStation portable library.

1532
01:33:18.159 --> 01:33:21.439
You know, I still didn't like
playing on my PlayStation Vida because it

1533
01:33:21.479 --> 01:33:25.840
feels like shit, but I like
using the big controller for it. So

1534
01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:29.479
stuff like God Eater I played a
lot of after I got my PlayStation TV.

1535
01:33:29.680 --> 01:33:32.600
So I don't know. There's a
very small segment of people like me,

1536
01:33:32.760 --> 01:33:35.479
I guess, but for the most
part, I don't know. I

1537
01:33:35.479 --> 01:33:39.439
don't know what's going on with that. I've been I've never played a game

1538
01:33:39.560 --> 01:33:44.239
at length like we put. We
did a video of showing the PlayStation TV

1539
01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:45.840
like what works and what works and
what doesn't. We did that stream or

1540
01:33:45.840 --> 01:33:49.399
whatever it was, and then we
did that persona dancing all night video.

1541
01:33:49.640 --> 01:33:54.159
Yep, there just there hasn't been
anything like it. It felt like just

1542
01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:57.479
just when they got a device out
that we could use to produce Vita quick

1543
01:33:57.479 --> 01:34:01.079
looks, suddenly there were no Vida
games worth producing quick looks for ever again

1544
01:34:01.399 --> 01:34:05.279
true or almost ever again. And
it's just insane. It's insane. Also,

1545
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:09.920
is something that plays like Netflix and
stuff even a hot property now because

1546
01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:13.439
like everyone has nineteen devices that you
know, the original we had that,

1547
01:34:14.600 --> 01:34:19.560
Yeah, but a twenty dollars device
is kind of yeah, probably, but

1548
01:34:20.039 --> 01:34:23.600
yeah, like a chrome cast starts
at thirty five, you know, fire

1549
01:34:23.880 --> 01:34:30.000
fire sticks another rokus are like fifty
or whatever. So yeah, when twenty

1550
01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:33.560
dollars for you know, something that
potential that'd be great you knows as a

1551
01:34:33.600 --> 01:34:39.239
nice bonus or benefit or whatever I
guess happened. Yeah, wiredu HDMI out

1552
01:34:39.319 --> 01:34:46.079
Yeah, limited to seven twenty I
think, but yeah, uh, let's

1553
01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:50.920
see. Carson Ryson says, what's
the biggest thing you knew about you knew

1554
01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:56.000
before announcement that you were excited about? Wait, hang on, wait,

1555
01:34:56.840 --> 01:35:00.760
what is the biggest thing you knew
before announcement you were excited about? And

1556
01:35:00.840 --> 01:35:04.880
maybe anything right now you know,
but we don't that you are excited about.

1557
01:35:04.920 --> 01:35:08.600
I'm not asking you to leak it. Of course I can't talk about

1558
01:35:08.640 --> 01:35:10.840
it. Is there? So okay, Well, well let's let's break this

1559
01:35:10.880 --> 01:35:13.720
down into two proper questions. Is
there anything right now that you know of

1560
01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:16.880
that has not been announced that you
are excited about. No, because it's

1561
01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:19.720
the end end of the year.
I think, like, I don't know

1562
01:35:19.840 --> 01:35:26.000
anything too big. How about that, I'm not there's nothing on my shirt.

1563
01:35:26.680 --> 01:35:30.279
Yeah he's wearing he's yes, the
shirt is yeah. Yeah. I

1564
01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:32.319
know about a couple of things,
but I don't know that they're twenty sixteen

1565
01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:36.520
things. Yeah. I can think
of one thing that might not be twenty

1566
01:35:36.520 --> 01:35:43.000
sixteen thing. Uh, we hear
stuff. We had stuff all the time,

1567
01:35:43.079 --> 01:35:45.760
a game in form because since it
was print and they were prosbly trying

1568
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:49.159
to like, yeah, people's pitching
covers for announcements. I'm sure they would

1569
01:35:49.159 --> 01:35:51.560
fly in. This thing about being
in Minnesota is they would fly to us

1570
01:35:51.640 --> 01:35:56.479
and be like hey, yeah,
yeah, but yeah, like GTA five,

1571
01:35:58.239 --> 01:36:00.560
all those yeah, the covers months
and months ahead before announcement. Everything

1572
01:36:00.560 --> 01:36:03.560
is leasing guys out there see if
they had to write it, and like

1573
01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:06.039
a month for the magazine to come
out. So like a lot of times

1574
01:36:06.079 --> 01:36:10.600
three or four months before announcement.
Yeah, we would have seen you know,

1575
01:36:10.640 --> 01:36:13.079
Skyrim or g t if I were
these huge, huge games, So

1576
01:36:13.359 --> 01:36:15.319
that was a pretty frequent thing.
I don't get it nearly as much here.

1577
01:36:15.359 --> 01:36:18.560
I don't care with that. It
makes sense. I mean the way

1578
01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:23.520
print works, I mean that,
Yeah, it makes sense. And then

1579
01:36:23.600 --> 01:36:26.159
what's the biggest thing that you did? I guess I mean you guys have

1580
01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:29.359
in the magazine experience. It's probably
something like a GCA or a sky Rim

1581
01:36:29.479 --> 01:36:31.279
or something like that, right,
the biggest what the biggest thing you knew

1582
01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:34.239
about before it was announced that you
were excited about. I was super excited

1583
01:36:34.319 --> 01:36:39.079
because it was fairly early on me
being a GI that we started hearing about

1584
01:36:39.079 --> 01:36:42.079
the south Park game The Stick of
Truth, and I just you know,

1585
01:36:42.119 --> 01:36:44.720
I've always been a big south Park
fan. I've always really liked Trey and

1586
01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:46.960
Matt, and hearing about the game
was awesome. And then getting to do

1587
01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:49.319
the cover story, so I like
went out to a city and everything got

1588
01:36:49.359 --> 01:36:53.000
to interview Tray and Matt and all
that, and that was really cool because

1589
01:36:53.000 --> 01:36:54.840
I knew it was gonna be a
few months before it was announced, and

1590
01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:58.319
also seeing it and it looked good. Yeah, that was right. Yeah,

1591
01:36:58.399 --> 01:37:00.479
because like there was a lot of
talk about whether we should put it

1592
01:37:00.479 --> 01:37:01.520
on the cover because it's like,
I mean, it's a licensed game,

1593
01:37:01.560 --> 01:37:03.960
it's South Park, It's probably gonna
suck. But then, like you know,

1594
01:37:04.079 --> 01:37:06.520
up sitting was like, no,
like Trey and Matt are really writing

1595
01:37:06.520 --> 01:37:10.560
this thing. It's going to be
a good game. And then like actually

1596
01:37:10.600 --> 01:37:13.560
coming to the realization after seeing in
production, they're like, oh, this

1597
01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:15.920
might be pretty awesome. So yeah, that was That was something I was

1598
01:37:16.039 --> 01:37:19.720
especially excited about. Literally, Yeah, I don't know, it's there's no

1599
01:37:19.800 --> 01:37:24.279
one thing that stands out to me. I remember like seeing like a bunch

1600
01:37:24.319 --> 01:37:27.319
of Mortal Kombat stuff before I got
announced and some of that other stuff over

1601
01:37:27.319 --> 01:37:29.680
there. Over the years, there's
been little things here and there, bigger

1602
01:37:29.720 --> 01:37:32.520
things here and there, but nothing
that really jumps out. I remember.

1603
01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:38.680
Actually I remember Street Fighter for knowing
some stuff about that before they've been announced

1604
01:37:38.680 --> 01:37:42.920
and being pretty excited about that.
That came the same time as information about

1605
01:37:42.920 --> 01:37:47.319
the new bion A Commando, and
I remember being really really way more excited

1606
01:37:47.319 --> 01:37:50.720
about that and that delivered. Oh
yeah, no, I'm sorry, Hey,

1607
01:37:50.760 --> 01:38:00.560
re armed. Did there are things
about they're a look that Bondo game,

1608
01:38:00.439 --> 01:38:04.560
the Big one, the Big one. There's some stuff mechanically in there

1609
01:38:04.600 --> 01:38:09.039
that's that's not bad. Okay,
the swinging, so I mean obviously you

1610
01:38:09.079 --> 01:38:12.960
know the weird radiation that he keeps
you from swinging too, like the limitations

1611
01:38:12.960 --> 01:38:15.920
they put on it to get that
out the door? Fuck it up.

1612
01:38:15.760 --> 01:38:19.800
Yeah, there are things in that
game that are still kind of fucking cool.

1613
01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:23.680
The thing I will remember forever from
that game is that weird e strig.

1614
01:38:23.720 --> 01:38:26.039
Do you remember that? Yeah?
Yeah, I just I thought for

1615
01:38:26.079 --> 01:38:28.319
sure I was going crazy when I
heard that, And then when I looked

1616
01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:30.720
it up because it was pre released, and I was like, surely I

1617
01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:33.239
didn't hear that. I couldn't replicate
it. So there's this giant like worm

1618
01:38:33.319 --> 01:38:36.680
Boss, and like you're talking to
the lady on the radio or whatever,

1619
01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:40.239
it's like, God, it's like
a it's a big worm thing. Guess

1620
01:38:40.239 --> 01:38:42.840
I'll have to fight it. And
then that's what he says, and then

1621
01:38:42.880 --> 01:38:45.119
I died during the worm boss.
And the second time you go back,

1622
01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:48.279
and I could have sworn I heard
him say, oh, yeah, it's

1623
01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:53.119
a big crazy worm thing. Guess
I'll have to fuck it. And I

1624
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:57.520
remember hearing that clearly and being like, no, he didn't say that.

1625
01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:00.239
That's a ludicrous thing. There's no
way that would happened, and like load

1626
01:39:00.279 --> 01:39:01.359
of them again and he said fight
it. I was like, Okay,

1627
01:39:01.399 --> 01:39:03.640
I'm not going crazy. He didn't
say he was gonna fuck that worm,

1628
01:39:03.680 --> 01:39:08.159
boss. And then after it came
out, it's like, yeah, they

1629
01:39:08.239 --> 01:39:10.920
put easter right again where he says
he's gonna suck the worm. Boss.

1630
01:39:11.800 --> 01:39:14.880
It's the weirdest fucking thing in the
world. That's weirder than the hot dog

1631
01:39:14.920 --> 01:39:18.920
wife at the end. His arm
is a hot dog wife. Hot dog

1632
01:39:19.760 --> 01:39:21.640
looks like a bunch of hot dogs, but it's his wife. Okay,

1633
01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:25.279
no, I know his wife is
his wife is in the right arm,

1634
01:39:25.359 --> 01:39:30.199
yeah, armily, but him uh
yeah. But him saying that he wants

1635
01:39:30.199 --> 01:39:35.680
to fuck that worm is way weirder. Yeah, that there are so many

1636
01:39:35.720 --> 01:39:40.840
things they could have done with that
retelling of that fiction. Once they once

1637
01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:44.279
they got to the point where we're
gonna have the spirit of this dude's dead

1638
01:39:44.319 --> 01:39:45.720
wife live in the arm. Yeah, you're gonna do that, but have

1639
01:39:45.840 --> 01:39:50.119
zero hitlers in it. Yeah,
that's fine. They technically took the hitlers

1640
01:39:50.119 --> 01:39:56.159
out of the US version of the
game anyway, right, Uh, that's

1641
01:39:57.079 --> 01:40:00.720
what a weird thing. There's the
fucking things like there's off that got cut

1642
01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:03.960
from that story that is in that
vein that is way fucking that like goes

1643
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:08.520
further down that path, like every
character, like a lot of the characters

1644
01:40:08.520 --> 01:40:12.159
you fight, Like there's here's this
lady with bionic legs. Oh, dad

1645
01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:15.359
lived in the legs. Like,
there's stuff like that that was written for

1646
01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:20.720
that game that didn't make it in
the like man, fuck's cut right,

1647
01:40:20.880 --> 01:40:26.960
Yes, that's coming Commando HD.
That's what you know about. Yeah,

1648
01:40:27.079 --> 01:40:30.560
yeah, that's twenty seventeen. Right, Yeah that's the thing. Uh yeah,

1649
01:40:30.680 --> 01:40:34.840
I don't know that that game.
You know, it's fucked up in

1650
01:40:34.880 --> 01:40:40.640
a lot of messed up ways,
but it had not that weird end.

1651
01:40:40.680 --> 01:40:44.039
We're just like in the fucking air
and just like all these angels or whatever,

1652
01:40:44.640 --> 01:40:47.279
the whole end. It's a weird
fucking game. Fuck everybody. That

1653
01:40:47.319 --> 01:40:51.880
game's kind of cool game. It's
kind of cool that it came out like

1654
01:40:51.960 --> 01:40:58.199
that with those weird such a fucking
insane thing. Uh, and like mechanically

1655
01:40:58.279 --> 01:41:00.840
it's it's it's close, like there's
things about it that are sucked up.

1656
01:41:00.840 --> 01:41:04.560
There aren't enough checkpoints, Like there's
stuff. There's a better game there if

1657
01:41:04.560 --> 01:41:12.600
they had spent more time cleaning some
of it up. But m there's I'm

1658
01:41:12.640 --> 01:41:17.000
telling you all right, multiplayer not
the worst thing in the world, totally

1659
01:41:17.239 --> 01:41:20.439
superfluous, not necessary, but still
like I don't know, I'm still swinging

1660
01:41:20.479 --> 01:41:25.479
around. That's that break that game
down, Like I'm still swinging around.

1661
01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:29.800
This is still fun. The best
swinging is still Spider Man two. Okay,

1662
01:41:29.920 --> 01:41:33.000
sure that's not bad. You should
play Energy Hook. I saw you

1663
01:41:33.000 --> 01:41:36.119
played on UPF and it was like
a guy that did the swinging Spider Man.

1664
01:41:36.159 --> 01:41:39.800
So I don't have like I didn't
play enough Spider Man two to care

1665
01:41:40.359 --> 01:41:43.079
about that stuff. And the swinging
felt good. So I wonder if if

1666
01:41:43.119 --> 01:41:45.359
you having a real love for that
game, you'd probably better suited to talk

1667
01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:48.560
about it. I want to say
the swinging and Disney Infinity is really good

1668
01:41:48.560 --> 01:41:51.439
as well. Believe it or not, try it out. Who's got it?

1669
01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:54.800
Who can do it? Spider man. Oh, right, of course,

1670
01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:58.279
of course I can do it.
Actually later on, yeah, quite

1671
01:41:58.279 --> 01:42:02.640
a few. I forgot that's the
same characters. Uh, let's see here.

1672
01:42:03.159 --> 01:42:06.600
Joseph from Atlanta writes in it says
I was reading through Paste magazine's article

1673
01:42:06.640 --> 01:42:10.560
on Jeff Green, which I haven't
seen that. It's an article about Jeff

1674
01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:18.319
Green, the last superhero on this
planet, and it got me wondering is

1675
01:42:18.760 --> 01:42:24.800
Jeff Gerstmann's that's me reluctance to non
video gaming related content tied to an industry

1676
01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:30.479
wide identity crisis and perhaps personal pride. He goes on, I love all

1677
01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:38.439
the Giant Bomb personalities. Thanks,
there's something about being referred to as personality

1678
01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:41.479
that seems really yeah. I don't
either. I don't like them all.

1679
01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:45.920
Yeah, some of them, A
couple of them, okay, yeah?

1680
01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:49.600
Uh and want to see the often
demanded food, anime, and other geek

1681
01:42:49.680 --> 01:42:54.479
related content alongside Alt f one,
wrestling, et cetera. But I also

1682
01:42:54.560 --> 01:42:58.800
understand the reluctance if it dilutes the
Giant Bomb identity from video games into the

1683
01:42:58.840 --> 01:43:02.560
monolithic all things Nerd Dumb website.
I feel a similar crisis is happening to

1684
01:43:02.840 --> 01:43:08.239
hardcore gamers who feel that their games
are disappearing as video games reach much bigger

1685
01:43:08.239 --> 01:43:12.359
and broader audiences. Video games themselves
are becoming more broad, and I feel

1686
01:43:12.399 --> 01:43:15.840
that the media coverage is perhaps changing
to be as scattered as the video games

1687
01:43:15.880 --> 01:43:19.760
media grows. So can you guys
continue to hold onto being video game centric

1688
01:43:20.079 --> 01:43:25.680
or do you see a point in
the future where you'd have to sell out?

1689
01:43:25.399 --> 01:43:28.279
I see it as selling out.
Yeah, I think he could put

1690
01:43:28.319 --> 01:43:31.239
that quote. He was kind of
kidden. I mean that they're the biggest

1691
01:43:31.239 --> 01:43:34.119
part of our lives, I think
for the most part, and also their

1692
01:43:34.159 --> 01:43:38.800
priority where you know, but only
so many games come out in a given

1693
01:43:38.840 --> 01:43:42.359
weeks, so it's not like there's
constantly twenty quick looks that we could do.

1694
01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:45.880
You know. Yeah, it's it's
weird. It's it's been weird watching

1695
01:43:45.279 --> 01:43:53.000
other outlets get deeper and deeper into
non gaming stuff because it, like,

1696
01:43:53.039 --> 01:43:57.119
I feel like with the way that
they present it right along side video game

1697
01:43:57.159 --> 01:44:00.600
news, it kind of becomes this
tacit admission and of just like, oh,

1698
01:44:00.680 --> 01:44:03.640
video games aren't actually big enough to
drive our business, so we have

1699
01:44:03.680 --> 01:44:06.079
to and knowing some of the business
behind it. With some of these sites

1700
01:44:06.119 --> 01:44:10.720
of like oh, we put up
the trailer to the Marvel movie because then

1701
01:44:10.760 --> 01:44:14.159
we can post that to Facebook and
it does really well, and then that

1702
01:44:14.239 --> 01:44:16.560
helps these numbers go up, and
that keeps us afloat. It becomes this

1703
01:44:16.600 --> 01:44:19.560
thing of like, oh, video
games are not actually doing it for us

1704
01:44:19.600 --> 01:44:25.239
anymore, so we have to do
this type of thing on social media in

1705
01:44:25.319 --> 01:44:28.000
order to drive people to our site
in the first place. And it like,

1706
01:44:29.119 --> 01:44:30.039
I don't think I don't view it
as like a sell out, like,

1707
01:44:30.039 --> 01:44:32.319
oh, you guys, it's for
me. It's just more of like

1708
01:44:32.319 --> 01:44:38.039
like intensely depressing of like oh,
to stay afloat, Like video games don't

1709
01:44:38.079 --> 01:44:41.439
cut it anymore for some of these
businesses, see what you're saying. I

1710
01:44:41.439 --> 01:44:44.880
guess I'm getting that impression though.
Yeah, but I think there's a big

1711
01:44:44.880 --> 01:44:48.239
difference between like, yeah, posting
a Captain America trailer and like doing a

1712
01:44:48.359 --> 01:44:51.279
original new like we did like a
food show or something like that. Like

1713
01:44:51.439 --> 01:44:55.760
that's different. That's original content.
That's not look at this thing. The

1714
01:44:55.800 --> 01:44:59.399
way that it's handled is very important. Yeah, I think, I mean,

1715
01:44:59.439 --> 01:45:01.600
I think we handle things pretty differently, you know, and I think

1716
01:45:01.800 --> 01:45:06.159
with our stuff it comes from a
pretty different place of like This isn't We're

1717
01:45:06.159 --> 01:45:10.359
not doing a wrestling podcast so we
can post about wrestling on Facebook. We're

1718
01:45:10.359 --> 01:45:14.760
doing it because we're idiots and we'd
like talking about Yeah, and it's it's

1719
01:45:14.800 --> 01:45:17.239
a premium thing that you know,
it's for subscribers who have kind of said

1720
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:23.319
that they want more of our takes
on wider things. And you know Austin's

1721
01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:26.439
writing column now where he'll kind of
step outside of video games here and there,

1722
01:45:26.520 --> 01:45:29.319
Like I'm kind of toying with the
idea of doing something similar, and

1723
01:45:29.479 --> 01:45:32.319
you know, like I've floated that
idea out there to people online and they've

1724
01:45:32.359 --> 01:45:35.479
been like super into the idea.
But yeah, I think it's like one

1725
01:45:35.479 --> 01:45:38.960
of those things where there's kind of
and you know, we were founded on

1726
01:45:39.720 --> 01:45:42.279
the original idea and we start a
giant bomb was we were going to interview

1727
01:45:42.359 --> 01:45:45.000
bands and do all this other shit, which never got around to it,

1728
01:45:45.119 --> 01:45:47.279
and then he moved into like energy
drinks and beef jerkey pretty much. Yeah,

1729
01:45:47.359 --> 01:45:51.680
just launched with energy drink coverage and
and then eventually like I guess there's

1730
01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:56.199
some video games. Yeah, So
I don't know, it's it's one of

1731
01:45:56.199 --> 01:45:57.920
those things where for me, it
is, yeah, like you said,

1732
01:45:58.039 --> 01:46:01.479
I think it's more about the approach
that a lot of places are taking that

1733
01:46:01.600 --> 01:46:04.880
kind of rubs me the wrong way
because it kind of gets presented as like

1734
01:46:05.119 --> 01:46:12.399
right alongside the video games in a
way that I don't always I don't always

1735
01:46:12.439 --> 01:46:15.359
always appreciate, and that's primarily because
I just don't give a fuck about most

1736
01:46:15.359 --> 01:46:19.399
of those movies. Yeah, and
comes across as disingenuine. Yeah, I

1737
01:46:19.439 --> 01:46:21.960
guess I think I can. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I hate

1738
01:46:21.960 --> 01:46:26.159
the idea of having to feign enthusiasm
for something I don't give a shit about.

1739
01:46:26.319 --> 01:46:28.560
Yeah, Like I would hate to
have to like be on camera talking

1740
01:46:28.560 --> 01:46:30.159
about God, this new civil war, but I don't give a shit.

1741
01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:33.319
Like I don't know how people do
that, really, I don't know.

1742
01:46:33.479 --> 01:46:35.560
It pays the bills, I guess, but I think there are places that

1743
01:46:35.640 --> 01:46:39.359
do that about video games. Oh
like feign enthusiast. Oh yeah, of

1744
01:46:39.359 --> 01:46:43.920
course, yeah, Like that's that's
certainly. I just think there's kind of

1745
01:46:44.000 --> 01:46:46.560
it's that kind of like entertainment Tonight
approach of just like we're excited about everything.

1746
01:46:46.720 --> 01:46:50.279
Here's the new thing, excive thing
coming out, We've got it exclusively,

1747
01:46:50.359 --> 01:46:54.520
like like that type of coverage doesn't
doesn't do it for me. I

1748
01:46:54.600 --> 01:46:57.640
think if we were to do anything, it would be or anything outside of

1749
01:46:57.720 --> 01:47:01.760
video games, those things like wrestling
in Formula one, like it would only

1750
01:47:01.840 --> 01:47:04.600
work for us if we were actually
interested in them. Yeah, it's like,

1751
01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:09.159
oh no, no, we're getting
into the lucrative F one podcast market.

1752
01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:11.479
It's right, that's where the money
is. Like, no, but

1753
01:47:11.560 --> 01:47:13.560
it actually, I mean, but
that has done well for us. I

1754
01:47:13.640 --> 01:47:15.079
mean to be clear, it's you
know, it's one of those things.

1755
01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:18.319
And you know, it's like,
I think we may start a music podcast

1756
01:47:18.399 --> 01:47:23.840
sometime next year. You know,
that's giving a shot. Yeah, I

1757
01:47:23.960 --> 01:47:28.319
think that's that's something I would be
into doing. Uh kind of shooting it

1758
01:47:28.319 --> 01:47:30.720
around a little bit. I don't
know. And likewise, it feels like

1759
01:47:30.760 --> 01:47:35.920
wrestling has fallen off in a big
way because wrestling is so terrible. Yes

1760
01:47:36.159 --> 01:47:41.119
it is, but it's it's mainly
a season. That's the thing is.

1761
01:47:41.199 --> 01:47:43.720
I think we will do another one
of those, like after the Royal Rumble,

1762
01:47:43.760 --> 01:47:46.319
because that I feel like that's always
the thing when wrestling gets bad,

1763
01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:50.359
like right after the Royal Rumble,
that event is the thing that gets them

1764
01:47:50.479 --> 01:47:54.880
on track for the next handful of
months. So it's kind of the clearest

1765
01:47:55.079 --> 01:48:00.520
like groundhog Day moment of like Roman
Reigns see his show at or not.

1766
01:48:00.960 --> 01:48:03.439
But then that wound up being good. That's you know, eight more weeks

1767
01:48:03.760 --> 01:48:09.560
of fucking people getting injured every week. Uh, that's probably when we have

1768
01:48:09.640 --> 01:48:13.960
Drew watched boy. Yeah, oh
yeah, we got to do that talent

1769
01:48:14.000 --> 01:48:16.600
exchange. That would actually be a
good one. You almost had to watch

1770
01:48:16.600 --> 01:48:20.399
Survivor series that was close. A
rumble is a light. It's fun.

1771
01:48:20.800 --> 01:48:25.000
It's fun. It's thirty guys in
the ring and throwing each other around,

1772
01:48:25.039 --> 01:48:28.439
and it's it's there's goofy things that
happen along the way. And we do

1773
01:48:28.600 --> 01:48:31.720
some side stuff as well with the
rumble, totally legal side stuff. Yes,

1774
01:48:32.039 --> 01:48:34.720
yeah, you left your Bingo Hopper
in Texas. I know what they're

1775
01:48:34.720 --> 01:48:36.880
gonna do. The lady that ran
that bar said she's gonna mail it to

1776
01:48:36.920 --> 01:48:42.239
me. My Bengo Hopper is still
in San Antonio. All right, Well,

1777
01:48:43.199 --> 01:48:45.880
we'll see how it goes. But
let me just say that I'd love

1778
01:48:45.960 --> 01:48:49.239
working for a place that, you
know, like these goofy outside interests of

1779
01:48:49.319 --> 01:48:53.960
ours are kind of increased for us
to explore, and also that we don't

1780
01:48:54.039 --> 01:48:56.720
have to do the fainting enthusiasm because
I don't think I could do it.

1781
01:48:56.760 --> 01:49:00.239
I think it's also important to realize
that, like we, like, our

1782
01:49:00.319 --> 01:49:05.000
audience are interested in more things.
Yeah, that's in addition to total Yeah,

1783
01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:12.000
Like I it's very easy to imagine
the audience as this, like uh,

1784
01:49:12.720 --> 01:49:16.119
this like one person that is just
video games twenty four seven, but

1785
01:49:16.239 --> 01:49:24.239
like almost no one has just that
as their sole interest. There are a

1786
01:49:24.279 --> 01:49:27.960
lot of people that I think assigned
that their identity gamer. That's what I

1787
01:49:28.039 --> 01:49:30.840
do is video games, Like that's
the main thing for sure, you know.

1788
01:49:30.279 --> 01:49:34.640
Yeah, but I don't think at
the exclusion of everything else in the

1789
01:49:34.760 --> 01:49:39.119
world, right, but there are
definitely a lot of people that like that

1790
01:49:39.359 --> 01:49:41.479
is their thing. I feel like
I'm getting there. I mean, I

1791
01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:44.920
don't have TV in my house anymore, okay, you know, canceled cable,

1792
01:49:45.319 --> 01:49:47.760
Like it's and I don't really go
see movies that often. It's happening

1793
01:49:47.800 --> 01:49:51.039
to me, but yeah, I
don't know, it's it's Yeah. I

1794
01:49:51.319 --> 01:49:57.159
think that it's weird when it seems
like a business move. Yeah, yeah,

1795
01:49:57.319 --> 01:49:59.640
as opposed to like, well,
this is a kind of a natural

1796
01:49:59.680 --> 01:50:01.640
outc popping of and I feel like
there are a lot of different places that

1797
01:50:01.680 --> 01:50:08.239
are kind of doing the same,
like like they're going beyond games, all

1798
01:50:08.319 --> 01:50:11.000
in the exact same way of just
like, well we're gonna you know,

1799
01:50:11.119 --> 01:50:15.319
and that means comic book movies,
right exactly. It's just like and it's

1800
01:50:15.359 --> 01:50:17.920
this like weird blanket, like I
don't know nerds stuff. Yeah, it's

1801
01:50:17.920 --> 01:50:23.199
stuff forgetting Hey we got news for
geeks, and it's just like caffeine flavored.

1802
01:50:23.239 --> 01:50:27.560
So like using the terms like that
just to make it seem like a

1803
01:50:27.640 --> 01:50:29.640
guy in a suit showed up and
said, hey, you get into the

1804
01:50:29.760 --> 01:50:31.159
nerds stuff. That's where the money
is. It used to be so many

1805
01:50:31.159 --> 01:50:35.279
of those like gamer culture articles like
oh look at this Mario inspired cake,

1806
01:50:35.640 --> 01:50:38.359
you know, like that shit,
Like I always thought that was dumb,

1807
01:50:38.399 --> 01:50:41.880
and it seems like the version of
that now is the Superhero trailers and stuff

1808
01:50:41.880 --> 01:50:44.399
like that. Yeah, like everyone's
doing it. Why is this? I

1809
01:50:44.439 --> 01:50:45.000
don't know, Yeah, I don't
know. So at this point, like

1810
01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:48.079
even I think even if we wanted
to go down that road, I don't

1811
01:50:48.119 --> 01:50:50.960
know that we could because so many
other places are doing it that it's like

1812
01:50:51.079 --> 01:50:56.239
not I don't think people that are
coming to our side, are really looking

1813
01:50:56.279 --> 01:50:59.880
for that? No? Yeah,
yeah, and then smell a rat immediately,

1814
01:51:00.039 --> 01:51:01.119
because like if all of a sudden
we're just like, hey, guys,

1815
01:51:01.159 --> 01:51:04.560
we're here with you know, it's
it's not us, we with Chris

1816
01:51:04.680 --> 01:51:11.319
Bratt. What's your favorite video game? Halo? Oh weird? Yeah,

1817
01:51:11.319 --> 01:51:13.279
I mean it's one thing to say
that, you know, we want to

1818
01:51:13.279 --> 01:51:17.000
be the source of all things nerd
entertainment, but that's that's just not us.

1819
01:51:17.439 --> 01:51:20.840
Yeah. And again when you're trying
to do the same thing that everyone

1820
01:51:20.880 --> 01:51:24.159
else is doing it and you can't
stand out, Yeah, yeah, I

1821
01:51:24.199 --> 01:51:28.520
don't know. It's you know,
I think we're in a somewhat privileged position

1822
01:51:28.560 --> 01:51:33.239
here of having this kind of subscription
thing that funds us able to kind of

1823
01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:39.359
do more of If if we were
purely relying on the traditional website metrics and

1824
01:51:39.359 --> 01:51:41.960
stuff like that, I mean,
well, actually, if we were relying

1825
01:51:41.960 --> 01:51:44.680
on those metrics purely, we probably
wouldn't be around anymore. You know.

1826
01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:46.640
It's we wouldn't have gotten purchased if
we didn't have the subscription business. You

1827
01:51:46.680 --> 01:51:50.479
know, CBS would have been like
another small website huh nope. So you

1828
01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:56.760
know, it's it's a different thing. We're in a slightly different line of

1829
01:51:56.840 --> 01:52:00.039
work than a lot of these other
places. I guess Okay, let's move

1830
01:52:00.079 --> 01:52:04.800
on. Daniel in North Wales says, hey guys, Happy Christmas. Hope

1831
01:52:04.840 --> 01:52:08.359
you all have an awesome holiday.
Thanks for everything you do. Just wanted

1832
01:52:08.359 --> 01:52:11.399
to share a story my fiance told
me this morning about a boy in her

1833
01:52:11.479 --> 01:52:15.760
primary school class. Yesterday elementary school, Yeah, okay. Basically, she

1834
01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:18.920
was asking the kids, they're about
eight or nine, what they asked for

1835
01:52:19.119 --> 01:52:21.720
as their Christmas present. When she
got to one little boy, he said

1836
01:52:21.760 --> 01:52:28.720
metal Gear Solid five. As my
better half for just over six years,

1837
01:52:28.880 --> 01:52:30.800
she's picked up a lot about games
and replied isn't that a bit old for

1838
01:52:30.880 --> 01:52:36.760
you, to which he replied,
Dan thinks it's great as my name is

1839
01:52:36.880 --> 01:52:41.239
Dan and she's told her class about
me in the fact I play games.

1840
01:52:41.399 --> 01:52:45.479
She thought the child was speaking about
me and replied, how do you know

1841
01:52:45.680 --> 01:52:48.880
Dan likes it? He replied,
he's always talking about it. After a

1842
01:52:48.960 --> 01:52:51.960
few more moments of confusions, she
said, do you mean my Dan?

1843
01:52:53.640 --> 01:52:58.279
No, silly, the boy,
said Dan Reicher. The nine year old

1844
01:52:58.319 --> 01:53:00.840
proceeded to then tell my fiance in
depth about how much Dan loves metal gear

1845
01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:03.840
and found out that he thinks that
all of Dan's opinions about games in life

1846
01:53:03.880 --> 01:53:09.439
in general are absolutely infalliable. Yes, I mean that kid's gonna be prime

1847
01:53:09.479 --> 01:53:13.000
minister or whatever Wales has. So
Dan, you'll be glad to know that

1848
01:53:13.039 --> 01:53:15.840
here in North Wales you're absolutely popping
off with the seven to eleven Democrats.

1849
01:53:16.159 --> 01:53:18.960
Finally, Oh my god, it
took a while, but I got there.

1850
01:53:20.119 --> 01:53:24.760
Those children in Wales, you've been
at that seven to eleven like age

1851
01:53:24.840 --> 01:53:32.319
range Wales. This morning of you
arguing with children, well that was that

1852
01:53:32.479 --> 01:53:36.239
was my job at that moment.
Okay, yes, they threw skittles at

1853
01:53:36.279 --> 01:53:40.159
you. They did business. Brother, Come on, I was getting the

1854
01:53:40.239 --> 01:53:44.479
n w oh skittles at me.
Oh man, Oh that makes me really

1855
01:53:44.520 --> 01:53:46.079
heavy. That kid's awesome. Hey, if that kid hears it, you're

1856
01:53:46.079 --> 01:53:50.000
a cool kid. Keep doing everything
you do and believe in everything you believe,

1857
01:53:50.079 --> 01:53:53.600
especially when it comes to things I
say, listen to your teacher.

1858
01:53:53.880 --> 01:53:57.720
Yeah, no, listen to me. That's your teacher's Oh bet your parents

1859
01:53:58.439 --> 01:54:01.760
if your parents put you on this
path called whatever the child Protective Services equivalent

1860
01:54:01.800 --> 01:54:09.880
is in North Wales plus one yeah
eleven, I think is what it is,

1861
01:54:10.079 --> 01:54:14.600
I don't know, shaping the youth
of Yes, everything's moving the right

1862
01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:18.479
direction. Yeah. So we had
Mary Kish on the podcast recently and she

1863
01:54:18.600 --> 01:54:25.760
had some things to say about Cincinnati, oh more city beef. Huh yeah,

1864
01:54:27.039 --> 01:54:30.720
okay, I guess so well,
she doesn't like that city's beef.

1865
01:54:30.000 --> 01:54:33.920
Yeah, she was there and so
the chili was it was a oh no,

1866
01:54:34.319 --> 01:54:38.439
she insulted their chili. Oh she
she went pretty hard at it.

1867
01:54:38.560 --> 01:54:41.159
Yeah, about the Skyline chili.
Oh Mary, she didn't talk about gold

1868
01:54:41.199 --> 01:54:44.079
Star. She also had something things
to say about a pizza place called El

1869
01:54:44.199 --> 01:54:49.840
Roses that I'm led to believe his
bat right. James formerly of Michigan writes

1870
01:54:49.880 --> 01:54:55.119
in it says, whoa I heard
Aaron from Ohio calling Ohio a better than

1871
01:54:55.199 --> 01:54:59.600
average state, followed by throwing Michigan
under the proverbial bus as a great place

1872
01:54:59.680 --> 01:55:02.359
to get up on life. This
is wrong on so many levels. Michigan

1873
01:55:02.439 --> 01:55:06.880
brought you almost every brand of cereal
you've ever eaten, Eminem and Big Sean.

1874
01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:12.199
It is the motor City, the
multi champion Red Wings. Motown.

1875
01:55:12.359 --> 01:55:15.920
Detroit is literally minutes from Canada,
and let's be honest, Canada is awesome

1876
01:55:15.000 --> 01:55:17.720
is that it has not one,
not two, but five great lakes.

1877
01:55:18.439 --> 01:55:23.560
Ohio brings no culture, no class, no future. The best cuisine they

1878
01:55:23.600 --> 01:55:27.479
offer is fried pickles from their endless
number of county fairs. They're nothing more

1879
01:55:27.560 --> 01:55:30.560
than a desolate farmland. The only
positive to Ohio is that it's slightly better

1880
01:55:30.640 --> 01:55:33.920
than Indiana. If anyone in Michigan
gives up on life, it's only because

1881
01:55:33.920 --> 01:55:39.079
they've driven through Ohio, a state
where every resident already has. You've been

1882
01:55:39.079 --> 01:55:42.039
tricked into giving anyone from Ohio a
voice. Everyone from this site of the

1883
01:55:42.359 --> 01:55:45.199
Side of the Rockies knows better.
All right, thank you, James.

1884
01:55:45.319 --> 01:55:49.000
I don't trust James because he named
everything in Michigan except Bob Seeger's. Yeah,

1885
01:55:49.039 --> 01:55:53.479
that's a super good point. Yeah, well, he says, formerly

1886
01:55:53.560 --> 01:55:56.520
of Michigan, so maybe he's kind
of okay, okay, all right,

1887
01:55:56.560 --> 01:56:00.199
Well we won't have Aaron on again. Yeah yeah. Tim from Arizon Owner

1888
01:56:00.279 --> 01:56:05.319
writes in to say Cincinnati is a
shit hole compared to Columbus is laughable.

1889
01:56:06.079 --> 01:56:11.600
Someone obviously took a random pill from
street Overlord to make a bold statement like

1890
01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:14.960
that. When someone says my hometown
is a shiit hole, it gets under

1891
01:56:15.000 --> 01:56:17.560
my skin, especially from someone who
only spent two years there and probably hasn't

1892
01:56:17.600 --> 01:56:21.279
been back in a decade or two. Mary, I am in the military

1893
01:56:21.439 --> 01:56:25.439
and have eaten food all around the
world, including plenty of different states.

1894
01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:29.520
Each place or state has a local
specialty food that competes with other brand names

1895
01:56:29.560 --> 01:56:32.399
in the local area. Skyline and
gold Star Chili are local businesses and local

1896
01:56:32.439 --> 01:56:35.359
favorites. If you don't like it, don't eat it, then this kind

1897
01:56:35.399 --> 01:56:39.680
of statement you made is why me
and my friends are subscribers to Giant Bomb

1898
01:56:39.760 --> 01:56:45.560
and not Game Spot. This is
why I put this email in PS.

1899
01:56:46.000 --> 01:56:49.439
Columbus is the only place I've ever
found a bloody knife just laying in the

1900
01:56:49.560 --> 01:56:59.560
street. That makes Columbus sound pretty
cool. Yeah, man, I don't

1901
01:56:59.560 --> 01:57:02.159
want to get it in on any
beef Jordan and Pennsylvania rights since is we

1902
01:57:02.199 --> 01:57:05.000
are all looking forward to our VR
future. In twenty sixteen, I was

1903
01:57:05.039 --> 01:57:09.600
wondering if the Oculus Vibe and PlayStation
VR succeed and become popular, what will

1904
01:57:09.600 --> 01:57:12.640
happen with the Xbox One. As
far as I know, hollow Lens is

1905
01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:15.760
not compatible with the console, and
it's currently being targeted for business use.

1906
01:57:15.239 --> 01:57:18.439
Will Microsoft get left behind in the
VR race and will it hurt the future

1907
01:57:18.520 --> 01:57:23.119
of the Xbox. I don't think
it's going to get that big that quick

1908
01:57:23.159 --> 01:57:26.000
to where it's like the main thing
that all games are, Like, there's

1909
01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:28.840
always gonna be a place for I
think the more traditional stuff, at least

1910
01:57:28.840 --> 01:57:31.680
in the near future. And people
that don't want to spend three Yeah,

1911
01:57:31.800 --> 01:57:34.239
I think three hours if they're lucky. I mean, yeah, it seems

1912
01:57:34.279 --> 01:57:38.359
like it could be more than that, Yeah, depending on what you're going

1913
01:57:38.439 --> 01:57:41.560
for. But yeah, it's yeah, I don't think they're missing a window

1914
01:57:41.680 --> 01:57:45.920
just yet. It's nice that these
companies are all getting their things out and

1915
01:57:45.039 --> 01:57:48.199
starting to test the waters. But
I don't think any of these companies are

1916
01:57:48.199 --> 01:57:53.520
expecting VR to be some runaway hit
in twenty sixteen. You know. It's

1917
01:57:53.560 --> 01:57:57.319
like, get the stuff out there, let's see where it goes. Even

1918
01:57:57.359 --> 01:58:00.239
Sony, which seems like they would
be the ones most focused on trying to

1919
01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:03.720
make that thing a successful business,
immediately like they feel a little tentative about

1920
01:58:03.720 --> 01:58:06.520
it in kind of a weird way. But it's yeah, I don't know.

1921
01:58:10.560 --> 01:58:12.760
Yeah, I don't feel like they're
missing the boat on this stuff,

1922
01:58:12.800 --> 01:58:17.600
you guys. No, Yeah,
they've already I like when they don't play

1923
01:58:17.880 --> 01:58:20.119
me too, Like, I'm glad
that they never tried to do like a

1924
01:58:20.199 --> 01:58:24.840
portable Xbox or anything like that,
because nobody was asking for that. So

1925
01:58:25.279 --> 01:58:28.880
they said they had the Windows Phone
totally solved all problems. Yeah, and

1926
01:58:29.000 --> 01:58:31.000
I guess connect was kind of like
connect and move for the me twos to

1927
01:58:31.079 --> 01:58:33.239
the weis. So I guess they've
done it in the past. But let

1928
01:58:33.279 --> 01:58:36.680
you see how well that worked out
for him. So yeah, yeah,

1929
01:58:36.800 --> 01:58:41.479
yeah, it's it's this isn't some
rocket ship right out of the gate sort

1930
01:58:41.520 --> 01:58:47.000
of business. You know, they're
they've got some time. Eric from Cincinnati

1931
01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:53.920
writes in everything said about Cincinnati on
the last episode is absolutely true. I'm

1932
01:58:53.960 --> 01:58:58.039
thirties years old and have lived here
my entire life. Cincinnati is an outright

1933
01:58:58.119 --> 01:59:00.279
shit hole. The chili is going, but we still seem to find a

1934
01:59:00.319 --> 01:59:03.119
way to fight about who's terrible.
Chili is not as bad between gold Star

1935
01:59:03.199 --> 01:59:08.640
and Skyline. Our sports teams are
the worst in actual play, ran by

1936
01:59:08.680 --> 01:59:13.239
clueless owners and managed by inexperienced managers. Larose's pizza tastes like what I would

1937
01:59:13.279 --> 01:59:15.800
assume the inside of a gopher's ass. Would taste like. The streets are

1938
01:59:15.800 --> 01:59:18.800
filled with trash, old racism,
and outright rudeness for your fellow man.

1939
01:59:18.920 --> 01:59:23.000
For no apparent reason. People in
Cincinnati will go out of their way to

1940
01:59:23.039 --> 01:59:26.319
make someone else feel awful or put
someone down for no reason except to do

1941
01:59:26.479 --> 01:59:30.880
so. Also, I worked in
retail for twelve years. That'll do it.

1942
01:59:30.319 --> 01:59:32.720
Mark Twain has coined the saying,
when the world comes to an end,

1943
01:59:32.720 --> 01:59:36.239
I want to be in Cincinnati.
It is always ten years behind the

1944
01:59:36.319 --> 01:59:40.560
times. No true words have been
said in the history of the world.

1945
01:59:40.720 --> 01:59:44.479
Any new idea that comes across the
government body is typically shot down immediately under

1946
01:59:44.479 --> 01:59:45.720
the assumption of it we didn't need
it before, why do we need it

1947
01:59:45.800 --> 01:59:51.800
now? I hate this city.
I wish I could leave. Unfortunately,

1948
01:59:51.880 --> 01:59:55.960
my wife refuses to move away from
her family, So I've decided to dive

1949
01:59:56.039 --> 02:00:00.680
head first into the sane asylum of
mental patients known as Buckeyes. But realistically,

1950
02:00:00.800 --> 02:00:04.119
it's not just Cincinnati, Dayton,
Akron, Columbus, Cleveland, the

1951
02:00:04.279 --> 02:00:09.640
entire state of Ohio has nothing to
contribute to society except to increase the overall

1952
02:00:09.680 --> 02:00:13.560
obese rate and ignorance for the greater
good of the United States. That's all

1953
02:00:13.600 --> 02:00:17.039
I have to say about that.
Thanks Eric, Wow, Eric, thank

1954
02:00:17.079 --> 02:00:24.560
you Ohio for contributing for a great
nation. Dawn from Orlando rights in its

1955
02:00:25.680 --> 02:00:28.760
yeah they do yeah, uh,
Dawn from Orlando rights, and it says,

1956
02:00:28.800 --> 02:00:30.960
near the stem or top of the
orange, use your front four teeth

1957
02:00:31.039 --> 02:00:34.479
to bite into the top of the
peel. Because it's on your teeth and

1958
02:00:34.479 --> 02:00:36.800
not your tongue, you don't taste
the bitterness, and it makes it super

1959
02:00:36.840 --> 02:00:41.279
easy to start the peel. It's
way easier than using your fingers or a

1960
02:00:41.359 --> 02:00:44.159
knife. Man, trust me,
it's super rad. Okay, I'll try

1961
02:00:44.199 --> 02:00:47.199
that. Your top teeth on the
tight and to the top of the peel,

1962
02:00:47.319 --> 02:00:50.920
just yeah, like the top by
the navel. Uh, what's the

1963
02:00:51.000 --> 02:00:54.239
top of the peel. It's a
round thing. I think I mean that

1964
02:00:54.359 --> 02:00:58.079
the outer layer of the peel by
the Yeah, they probably knew, Yeah,

1965
02:00:58.119 --> 02:01:00.600
probably. Okay, I can try
that. Do that. Yeah,

1966
02:01:00.600 --> 02:01:02.159
I've seen people do that. It
works and then it just starts the peel

1967
02:01:02.159 --> 02:01:05.079
and you just start peeling it and
then the orange itself kind of sections apart

1968
02:01:05.159 --> 02:01:09.680
pretty nicely. Fun. It sounds
good. Okay, I'd eat way oranges.

1969
02:01:10.600 --> 02:01:13.600
Uh do you do bananas? From
the bottom. No, you crack

1970
02:01:13.640 --> 02:01:15.239
off the top thing and then you
peel it all down. What are you

1971
02:01:15.439 --> 02:01:17.800
what are you talking about from the
from the bottom. It's got a thing

1972
02:01:17.960 --> 02:01:20.640
right up top that you just crack
right off. No, no, it

1973
02:01:20.720 --> 02:01:23.600
doesn't work that way. No,
do it from the bottom. Then you

1974
02:01:23.680 --> 02:01:26.680
got to deal with that little thing
at the bottom. Uh. You have

1975
02:01:26.720 --> 02:01:29.479
to deal with it immediately instead of
just ignoring it like it exists. It's

1976
02:01:29.520 --> 02:01:31.159
like saying, open a coke can
by jabbing a key in the bottom of

1977
02:01:31.199 --> 02:01:33.359
it. Like, it's got a
thing right up top for doing that.

1978
02:01:33.479 --> 02:01:36.520
For opening you know, you have
to do both. Oh right, well

1979
02:01:36.680 --> 02:01:40.600
yeah, no you yeah, you
crack it open, you jab the key

1980
02:01:40.640 --> 02:01:44.039
in. You jabb the key in, and then make your and then put

1981
02:01:44.079 --> 02:01:46.800
your mouth over where the hole is
and then open the can. Shotgun the

1982
02:01:46.840 --> 02:01:54.399
banana. Yeah, that's what they
call that. Shot down your throat in

1983
02:01:54.479 --> 02:01:57.840
like two seconds. A lot of
people, a lot of people pay good

1984
02:01:57.880 --> 02:02:00.560
money for that action. Judd rights
in and says, a few weeks ago,

1985
02:02:00.600 --> 02:02:04.039
you had Dave Lang on the podcast
and you asked him some industry questions.

1986
02:02:05.000 --> 02:02:09.840
During that conversation, Dave dropped some
interesting business advice among them, the

1987
02:02:09.960 --> 02:02:12.920
one that stood out to me was
something along the lines of you don't throw

1988
02:02:12.960 --> 02:02:16.079
your business partners under the bus.
It's just not good business practice. Yeah,

1989
02:02:16.119 --> 02:02:18.359
that seems pretty obvious, but that
phrase got stuck in my head.

1990
02:02:18.760 --> 02:02:23.680
I'm the president of a multimillion dollar
company. We recently had a large meeting

1991
02:02:23.720 --> 02:02:27.680
between one of our more demanding clients
and our vendor that is producing their products.

1992
02:02:27.760 --> 02:02:30.760
As we are the project managers for
the project, all communication from the

1993
02:02:30.880 --> 02:02:33.760
vendor goes through us to the client. Recently, the client has been unhappy

1994
02:02:33.800 --> 02:02:36.960
with the response time of communication and
they see this as my company's fault.

1995
02:02:38.279 --> 02:02:41.279
However, this issue is mainly due
to the slowness of our vendor's responses.

1996
02:02:41.840 --> 02:02:44.479
When this issue was brought up in
the meeting, my gut reaction was to

1997
02:02:44.600 --> 02:02:47.039
explain to the client that our vendor
was slow in responding to issues so that

1998
02:02:47.079 --> 02:02:51.000
I could protect my company's reputation.
However, Dave's advice popped into my head

1999
02:02:51.359 --> 02:02:54.640
and instead we took the brunt of
the blame, came up with a way

2000
02:02:54.640 --> 02:02:56.720
to fix it, and the vendors
saw that we didn't throw them under the

2001
02:02:56.800 --> 02:02:59.399
bus. After the meeting, the
client told me that they were very happy

2002
02:02:59.399 --> 02:03:01.560
with the plan up with and how
we handled the meetings. We are back

2003
02:03:01.600 --> 02:03:04.119
on their good list. Everything worked
out for the best. I've been doing

2004
02:03:04.199 --> 02:03:08.000
this for years and even I can
learn from Dave Lang. Tell him I

2005
02:03:08.039 --> 02:03:12.279
appreciate it. Awesome. That's never
let it be said that this podcast is

2006
02:03:12.319 --> 02:03:16.520
not reach people with the news the
information they need. With information yeah,

2007
02:03:16.720 --> 02:03:19.880
with from Whales can take life advice
from me and business advice from Dave Lang.

2008
02:03:20.880 --> 02:03:24.600
Both those things sound like terrible life. Don't switch them up, though.

2009
02:03:24.800 --> 02:03:28.239
Do not take life advice from Dave
Lang, nor business advice from eleven

2010
02:03:28.319 --> 02:03:32.399
year old and oh yeah, yeah
yeah, and eleven year old and Whales.

2011
02:03:32.560 --> 02:03:35.039
That is good advice though, Man, I mean that's a karma thing

2012
02:03:35.319 --> 02:03:40.760
for me too. Sure, I
just yeah. Brent writs in and says,

2013
02:03:40.800 --> 02:03:43.479
will we ever see games make cut
scenes as crazy, weird and funny

2014
02:03:43.479 --> 02:03:47.039
as Amped three? Oh? I'm
thinking a dark dark Summit? Did that?

2015
02:03:47.199 --> 02:03:50.479
Was that the spy snowboarding game?
Yeah? What was the amp threes

2016
02:03:50.800 --> 02:03:53.960
three? Was like it had a
puppet show in the middle of it.

2017
02:03:54.079 --> 02:03:57.640
It was like it was fucking all
over the place. I'm not familiar amazing

2018
02:03:57.760 --> 02:04:01.199
cut scenes. Shit I might say
play about. Oh yeah, it's got

2019
02:04:01.279 --> 02:04:06.680
a series of pretty dumb video clips
in there that are that are worth looking

2020
02:04:06.720 --> 02:04:13.359
at. Yeah, uh edf those
aren't cut scenes. That's just the end

2021
02:04:13.399 --> 02:04:17.680
of the whole game. Incredible crisis. On PS one, Okay, Keith

2022
02:04:17.760 --> 02:04:23.960
writes in Dude, I just returned
from a work trip to Pittsburgh and realized

2023
02:04:23.960 --> 02:04:27.520
I must write in that is imperative
this message get out. After traveling to

2024
02:04:27.560 --> 02:04:30.279
twelve other cities this year for work, I came to realize one thing,

2025
02:04:30.000 --> 02:04:35.079
Fuck Pittsburgh. That is all all
right, Okay, I've traveled around a

2026
02:04:35.159 --> 02:04:38.279
lot. I don't think I've been
to Pittsburgh. I've never run in to

2027
02:04:38.279 --> 02:04:43.439
Pennsylvania period. Yeah, I want
to go to Philly. Okay, I

2028
02:04:43.520 --> 02:04:46.279
was near Philly. Yeah, it's
pretty close to like New Jersey is kind

2029
02:04:46.319 --> 02:04:49.880
of yeah. Oh, next year, maybe I can stop by. I

2030
02:04:49.960 --> 02:04:55.119
went to Atlantic City, the Hershey, Hershey, Pennsylvania. Yea, yeah,

2031
02:04:55.800 --> 02:04:58.520
smells real good. You just you
just want to run up the steps,

2032
02:04:58.560 --> 02:05:01.520
don't you. Yeah. I always
get the statue, Like, whenever

2033
02:05:01.520 --> 02:05:06.520
I hear the words Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
or Pittsburgh, I have to think really

2034
02:05:06.600 --> 02:05:10.800
hard about what we're talking about because
all those three words run together to me.

2035
02:05:11.000 --> 02:05:14.159
Yeah, yep. If I had
to choose between running up the steps

2036
02:05:14.479 --> 02:05:16.760
or throwing a helmet at the statue, I would pick throwing a helmet at

2037
02:05:16.760 --> 02:05:20.760
the statue. I like the steps. I would do both. But that's

2038
02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:25.760
seen in Rocky three where it pulls
the motorcycle up and throws the helmet alone.

2039
02:05:25.880 --> 02:05:28.239
And I think it's cool. I
just want to learn how to ride

2040
02:05:28.279 --> 02:05:30.439
a motorcycle and do that. Okay, that's cool. That's actually there,

2041
02:05:30.520 --> 02:05:32.920
right, just not at the top
of the steps. Yeah, I think

2042
02:05:32.960 --> 02:05:34.720
I think that's the case. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Did

2043
02:05:34.760 --> 02:05:39.560
they ever make that RoboCop statue in
Detroit? I don't know. That was

2044
02:05:39.600 --> 02:05:44.520
the first kickstarter I ever heard of. Yeah, remember hearing about Yeah,

2045
02:05:44.600 --> 02:05:46.840
and I don't know people in Detroit
let us know. Yeah, if you

2046
02:05:46.920 --> 02:05:51.880
got your RoboCop statue. Well,
let's take this next email from Pat in

2047
02:05:51.960 --> 02:05:57.159
Detroit. I've noticed a certain amount
of Detroit hate from you guys another West

2048
02:05:57.199 --> 02:06:00.520
Coast podcasters. Well, this is
certainly understand handible and until recently deserved.

2049
02:06:00.560 --> 02:06:03.880
I thought i'd clear some things up. Detroit has been going through something of

2050
02:06:03.920 --> 02:06:06.600
a renaissance over the last few years
and is now a great town to live

2051
02:06:06.640 --> 02:06:10.199
in and visit. Sure there are
some bad neighborhoods, but they're a long

2052
02:06:10.279 --> 02:06:13.600
hike from the nightlife. We've got
a huge range of bars, restaurant shops

2053
02:06:13.600 --> 02:06:15.520
and other things to do, and
the people here are friendly and excited.

2054
02:06:16.039 --> 02:06:19.000
Everyone here wants to show the world
that we're back and not a ship hole

2055
02:06:19.039 --> 02:06:24.319
anymore. Go tigers, slash wings. Let's not talk about the lions.

2056
02:06:25.239 --> 02:06:29.119
So we're back. He's obviously lived
there. Yeah, he's in Detroit.

2057
02:06:29.199 --> 02:06:32.840
I guess says Detroit is back.
We're back. A Detroit story. Yeah,

2058
02:06:33.119 --> 02:06:35.960
oh it'll be there's more. Okay, ps with that said. Fuck

2059
02:06:36.039 --> 02:06:40.000
Cleveland, Okay, I had good
ram in there once. Otherwise that place

2060
02:06:40.079 --> 02:06:44.000
is a burning record. Okay.
I got driven to the Detroit airport once

2061
02:06:44.159 --> 02:06:45.960
and the one thing I remember about
the surrounding area we've be in the trunk.

2062
02:06:46.279 --> 02:06:49.600
Uh no, Okay, on the
side of the highway was just this

2063
02:06:49.800 --> 02:06:54.600
old barn that looked like it was
falling apart and had giant letters, like

2064
02:06:54.640 --> 02:06:59.319
fifteen foot letters saying save us kid
rock. And I don't know if that

2065
02:06:59.439 --> 02:07:02.319
was like the farm was going out
of business, Jesus. Kid Rock like

2066
02:07:02.439 --> 02:07:08.560
goes around Detroit saves farms or something. But I really liked that barn.

2067
02:07:09.840 --> 02:07:14.680
It's a pretty cool barn. Wow. Huh, good message too. Yeah

2068
02:07:14.880 --> 02:07:17.600
he gives back. Yeah, yeah, I liked rock kid Rock. It's

2069
02:07:17.600 --> 02:07:24.880
a good guy. No talented individuals
show that. Man's a showman. Yeah,

2070
02:07:24.960 --> 02:07:28.239
he could see. He is a
showman. I've seen him play drums

2071
02:07:28.279 --> 02:07:30.720
a couple where's furry coats sometimes and
jumps around in front of a flag.

2072
02:07:31.520 --> 02:07:36.119
That's all right. His showmanship feels
borrowed to me. It doesn't feel like

2073
02:07:36.159 --> 02:07:40.600
his own showmanship. It feels like
he's just kind of doing what the rock

2074
02:07:40.720 --> 02:07:44.479
guys did before. It doesn't feel
genuine. You think it's like him a

2075
02:07:44.600 --> 02:07:51.279
being like seventies styles jumping up,
not David ly Roth jump. But he's

2076
02:07:51.279 --> 02:07:55.359
not. He's not doing frings off
of amps or anything like that necessarily,

2077
02:07:55.479 --> 02:07:58.359
but you know he's And I actually
have not seen much live footage of kid

2078
02:07:58.439 --> 02:08:00.399
Rock. I think I'm just basing
it off, like the Bob with a

2079
02:08:00.399 --> 02:08:01.880
Bob video or something. Sure,
but yeah, that's he seems like he

2080
02:08:01.960 --> 02:08:05.000
had his own thing going on.
I don't know, man, those coach

2081
02:08:05.079 --> 02:08:09.840
are fuzzy and he had hats.
Yeah, like he's not gonna argue that.

2082
02:08:09.920 --> 02:08:11.560
He's like it's but it's like he
feels like he's trying to do the

2083
02:08:11.640 --> 02:08:16.359
dynamic frontman thing while dressing up like
a low rent pimp. But that's his

2084
02:08:16.439 --> 02:08:20.119
own thing. Then who else has
done that? No, but I feel

2085
02:08:20.119 --> 02:08:24.600
like the mannerisms aren't the mannerisms don't
feel like he's not like he's no Freddie

2086
02:08:24.600 --> 02:08:28.000
Mercury or anything. But no,
he's not. But he sells his material.

2087
02:08:28.159 --> 02:08:31.039
I think, yes, okay,
yeah, I think his demeanor and

2088
02:08:31.159 --> 02:08:37.039
his look and his stage presence fits
Cowboy for instance. Sure, okay,

2089
02:08:37.159 --> 02:08:41.359
yep, so he's appropriately doing his
job. I've got no beef with kid

2090
02:08:41.479 --> 02:08:43.600
rodern't either. He does what he
does. I'd like to have some beers

2091
02:08:43.640 --> 02:08:48.399
with that guy. No, he's
he's authentic. Yeah, for sure,

2092
02:08:48.800 --> 02:08:50.680
it's indisputable. Joe from New York
rides and he says so. The trend

2093
02:08:50.720 --> 02:08:54.119
with Nintendo systems over the years has
been backward compatibility with the previous system.

2094
02:08:54.159 --> 02:08:58.000
The original WE plays GameCube games,
the WU plays WE games. The original

2095
02:08:58.119 --> 02:09:01.199
DS and DS Light could play GBA
games. The three DS can play DS

2096
02:09:01.319 --> 02:09:05.079
games with that in mind, do
you believe, with Nintendo one wanting to

2097
02:09:05.159 --> 02:09:09.439
distance themselves from the WEU, that
the NX will be backwards compatible with the

2098
02:09:09.479 --> 02:09:13.880
WU games with end the game pad. I would be a little miffed if

2099
02:09:13.880 --> 02:09:16.039
they released the next Zelda game and
then release the NX soon after. I'm

2100
02:09:16.119 --> 02:09:20.199
running out of space to tetris my
consoles into I guess I could clean the

2101
02:09:20.239 --> 02:09:22.640
cobwebs off my three sixty and put
it away. Now we think I'm a

2102
02:09:22.720 --> 02:09:28.239
big proponent of backwards backwards compatibility,
but I think based on what we've seen

2103
02:09:28.279 --> 02:09:31.239
of the NX or what we kind
of know, like you know, based

2104
02:09:31.239 --> 02:09:33.399
on those patents, if that is
going to be indeed the next yeah,

2105
02:09:33.560 --> 02:09:37.039
how the fuck does that work?
Well? I mean just imagine like the

2106
02:09:37.119 --> 02:09:39.520
WU works with the old we controllers. So if they just made it compatible

2107
02:09:39.560 --> 02:09:43.520
with the game pad and made it
so play the disc and the downloads,

2108
02:09:43.680 --> 02:09:48.079
you know, very god. My
concern is this Mario Maker, because I'm

2109
02:09:48.079 --> 02:09:50.359
not being hyperbolic when I say I
want to play that forever pretty much.

2110
02:09:52.239 --> 02:09:54.880
I would hate if there was just
a time when you can't play those levels

2111
02:09:54.960 --> 02:09:58.800
or make levels anymore. Yeah,
So yeah, yeah, I agree.

2112
02:10:00.319 --> 02:10:05.800
I think that whatever control or they
end up with will will be able to

2113
02:10:05.840 --> 02:10:11.560
handle WEU games. Okay. I
think the patent and stuff with the you

2114
02:10:11.640 --> 02:10:16.880
know screen, the free form screen
stuff, I don't think necessarily precludes them

2115
02:10:16.039 --> 02:10:22.319
from having a touch screen sixteen by
nine form factor screen either as a part

2116
02:10:22.359 --> 02:10:24.319
of that thing, or yeah,
have the game pad sync up yeah to

2117
02:10:24.439 --> 02:10:30.119
the NX or or or whatever.
I don't know. We have to jump

2118
02:10:30.159 --> 02:10:33.079
through a lot of logic coops in
a lot of like like speculation speculative hoops

2119
02:10:33.119 --> 02:10:35.359
on this one, sure, and
kind of say like, oh, we

2120
02:10:35.399 --> 02:10:41.159
think the NX is going to be
a portable that's also a console kind of

2121
02:10:41.359 --> 02:10:46.640
hybrid thing. Yeah, I don't
think we know enough about that. I

2122
02:10:46.199 --> 02:10:50.000
kind of envisioned it as being something
that would be sort of similar to the

2123
02:10:50.039 --> 02:10:54.239
WU, except you could just walk
away with that game pad and keep playing

2124
02:10:54.319 --> 02:10:56.560
games. That'd be pretty great.
I think a lot of people assumed when

2125
02:10:56.560 --> 02:11:00.680
they first announced the WU, right, Yeah, It's like they sat down

2126
02:11:00.680 --> 02:11:01.560
and say like, oh, man, we should have done that and are

2127
02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:05.119
now going to do that. Yeah. I think about even the GameCube controllers

2128
02:11:05.159 --> 02:11:07.960
were compatible with the first week and
the week controllers with. So, yeah,

2129
02:11:09.000 --> 02:11:11.319
just make the GamePad compatible with the
NX. Okay, there you go,

2130
02:11:11.000 --> 02:11:16.560
there you go fixed. Yeah,
thanks Dan Rager. Why don't we

2131
02:11:16.640 --> 02:11:20.920
think of that? Yeah? Uh
all right, then this is the last

2132
02:11:22.079 --> 02:11:26.960
email before we shift into tumblr mode. Aaron writes in it says I've been

2133
02:11:28.000 --> 02:11:31.199
following the site for a while and
have caught a handful of slights against Reno

2134
02:11:31.359 --> 02:11:35.439
from the crew, the most recent
being on the last live stream of twenty

2135
02:11:35.479 --> 02:11:41.319
fifteen. As someone born and raised
in Reno, I wholeheartedly agree downtown is

2136
02:11:41.359 --> 02:11:43.439
depressing, especially the further you go
east, and they have a suckass one

2137
02:11:43.520 --> 02:11:46.680
story mall with a bunch of outdoor
malls scattered around the city which aren't much

2138
02:11:46.720 --> 02:11:52.800
better. The smell is always overwhelming
cigarette smoke. The visiting acts are almost

2139
02:11:52.880 --> 02:11:56.279
always pretty sad. The one good
thing they have is the Truckee River.

2140
02:11:56.680 --> 02:11:58.359
The last time I was there,
I spent roughly four months nearly homeless in

2141
02:11:58.399 --> 02:12:03.560
that glorious state in Nevada with the
highest unemployment rate in the country, though

2142
02:12:03.560 --> 02:12:07.520
I finally found solid ground in Seattle. Everyone born within Reno thinks of Reno

2143
02:12:07.640 --> 02:12:09.520
is the only place there is until
someone is the first of their friend group

2144
02:12:09.560 --> 02:12:13.800
to leave. Then we celebrate when
any of our friends leave, and we

2145
02:12:13.920 --> 02:12:18.079
encourage other others to leave. Nearly
every time we talk. Geez. However,

2146
02:12:18.239 --> 02:12:20.359
I will say I'm a product of
Reno. Reno is my home.

2147
02:12:22.039 --> 02:12:28.359
I love Reno. Fuck Reno perspect
Okay, Jason, did you stay in

2148
02:12:28.399 --> 02:12:31.359
Reno when you were driving out here? I stayed to the Circus. Circus

2149
02:12:31.399 --> 02:12:35.000
and Reno we stayed. Yeah,
outside of Reno. My uncle used to

2150
02:12:35.039 --> 02:12:39.119
work there. Really. Yeah,
Reno seems like a scheezy Las Vegas.

2151
02:12:39.199 --> 02:12:41.520
Yeah, if that tells you anything. Yeah, it seemed to me like

2152
02:12:41.600 --> 02:12:46.640
way low rent. Like I wanted
to like like visit there for a couple

2153
02:12:46.680 --> 02:12:50.680
of nights. But it's yeah,
it's super low ren like Las Vegas.

2154
02:12:50.680 --> 02:12:52.359
For as scheezy as it is in
a lot of ways, actually does have

2155
02:12:52.399 --> 02:12:56.000
a certain amount of rits and glamour
to it and history. It's not even

2156
02:12:56.119 --> 02:12:58.319
rits and glamour. It's like tourist
rits and glamours, but I mean the

2157
02:12:58.439 --> 02:13:03.159
history of like say Sinatra and stuff
like that. There was there were some

2158
02:13:03.359 --> 02:13:09.680
legit Renos stuff there. Reno has
that big bowling alley where it's like the

2159
02:13:09.199 --> 02:13:13.800
Super Bowl of Bowling takes place the
World Series of Bowling. What it them

2160
02:13:13.960 --> 02:13:20.439
There's a huge bowling stage by the
Paba. Reno is more like a skeeezy

2161
02:13:20.560 --> 02:13:24.800
Branson, Missouri. Yeah. I've
never been to Branson, but they've been

2162
02:13:24.840 --> 02:13:28.640
to Branson a lot, so I
went to with Atlantic City. I would

2163
02:13:28.640 --> 02:13:35.279
say that Reno is scummier than ac
Okay, uh cool, And and Atlantic

2164
02:13:35.319 --> 02:13:37.079
City has the boardwalk, and the
boardwalk got a little weird. Okay,

2165
02:13:37.359 --> 02:13:41.079
but for the first springs, I
think I want to spend a monopolies from

2166
02:13:41.079 --> 02:13:45.359
there. You know, you want
to spend how long? Like just a

2167
02:13:45.479 --> 02:13:48.439
weekend? Okay, yes, yes
that is if you if you want to

2168
02:13:48.439 --> 02:13:50.479
spend forty eight hours in Reno,
I say go for it. It's got

2169
02:13:50.560 --> 02:13:52.279
gambling like. It has all the
ship of Vegas with none of the like

2170
02:13:52.840 --> 02:13:56.439
hassle cool. We're just like,
do you just want to go gamble?

2171
02:13:56.600 --> 02:14:00.640
Reno's got it. I prefer you
if you want to go to is then

2172
02:14:00.880 --> 02:14:05.640
you know you're gonna then yeah,
then go to Vegas because I prefer Deadwood

2173
02:14:05.680 --> 02:14:07.720
for the if you just want to
gamble thing, because Deadwood it's you know,

2174
02:14:07.880 --> 02:14:11.439
again the history thing and it's in
the Black Hills, which is fucking

2175
02:14:11.600 --> 02:14:16.800
awesome looking. And Kevin Costner's got
a casino like it's it's a much cooler

2176
02:14:16.880 --> 02:14:18.279
version of Reno. Okay, and
Deadwood. The show was cool. That

2177
02:14:18.319 --> 02:14:20.600
seems like a different vibe though Old
West stuff. That's cool. Do you

2178
02:14:20.680 --> 02:14:24.399
have I got some shows in Reno. You can see. I don't want

2179
02:14:24.399 --> 02:14:30.119
to see your shows in Reno.
Sure, take this vuch No, I'll

2180
02:14:30.119 --> 02:14:33.680
take. No, take the voucher. You're bound to it now. Now

2181
02:14:33.760 --> 02:14:35.600
you have to go. Yeah,
good, yeah, no, it sounds

2182
02:14:35.640 --> 02:14:41.800
fun. Reno is disgusting. It's
not to say that there. I mean,

2183
02:14:41.880 --> 02:14:45.239
there are very nice hotel rooms there. Like if you want to go

2184
02:14:45.439 --> 02:14:50.039
have a like somewhat cheaper than Vegas
experience and get like a big suite and

2185
02:14:50.159 --> 02:14:52.680
do what people do in big suits, like you can do it. And

2186
02:14:52.760 --> 02:14:54.840
you can still gamble and stuff like
that. You can still have, like,

2187
02:14:54.960 --> 02:14:58.359
you know, most of the Vegas
experience. I don't. They're not

2188
02:14:58.439 --> 02:15:01.159
that different, I guess in the
ran scheme of things. But Vegas has

2189
02:15:01.279 --> 02:15:07.560
higher highs and maybe more expensive lows. Okay, not lower lows though,

2190
02:15:07.800 --> 02:15:09.479
no, not lower lows. There's
a there's a like, but I don't

2191
02:15:09.520 --> 02:15:11.199
know, you get off the strip
in Vegas, it gets weird too.

2192
02:15:11.359 --> 02:15:15.840
Yeah. Yeah, you know there's
fucking whatever you want, you can find

2193
02:15:15.840 --> 02:15:18.239
it in Las Vegas. But it
seems like all of Reno is like those

2194
02:15:18.319 --> 02:15:22.800
parts of Las Vegas. Yes,
yeah, there's a lot of like it's

2195
02:15:22.880 --> 02:15:26.680
it's it's the most off strip you
can get. Yeah, love and heard

2196
02:15:26.680 --> 02:15:31.560
anything bad everything. You know that
if you want to go to a buffet

2197
02:15:31.680 --> 02:15:33.640
and gamble, well, actually,
I mean there's a place in runner Park

2198
02:15:33.680 --> 02:15:37.520
that does all that. I think
now you just drive fifty miles north and

2199
02:15:37.640 --> 02:15:39.640
have that. That's been the weird
thing is like having all these casinos pop

2200
02:15:39.760 --> 02:15:43.479
up over the years around here.
When I was yeah, yeah, sort

2201
02:15:43.640 --> 02:15:48.239
yeah, but like when I was
a kid, it was that was all

2202
02:15:48.479 --> 02:15:50.359
super illegal. You wouldn't have been
able to do it. Did they not

2203
02:15:50.520 --> 02:15:54.439
have like riverboat laws and stuff here
it's all reservations. Oh, it's all

2204
02:15:54.520 --> 02:15:58.000
Native American stuff. So it's okay, Like that's how the casinos are run

2205
02:15:58.119 --> 02:16:01.800
in California. We have some of
those in Kansas, but they also had

2206
02:16:01.880 --> 02:16:03.920
a riverboat the majority of them.
Yeah, I saw it, like two

2207
02:16:03.960 --> 02:16:09.159
casina is in uh conquered. Actually
that's they are that that is probably falls

2208
02:16:09.199 --> 02:16:13.039
under those loss Okay, yeah,
because there's the one in that just opened

2209
02:16:13.079 --> 02:16:18.239
near me is all also same deal, Gosha. The riverboat thing is a

2210
02:16:18.279 --> 02:16:20.159
weird luck because like you've seen those
old timey like you know, riverboats right

2211
02:16:20.279 --> 02:16:22.520
in the paddle boat type big thing. Yeah, yeah, with a big

2212
02:16:22.520 --> 02:16:26.720
wheel and all that stuff shows on
it. Where so there's a loss,

2213
02:16:26.720 --> 02:16:28.039
so you can have those on rivers, like Saint Louis has a bunch of

2214
02:16:28.079 --> 02:16:31.600
those or whatever. But then yeah, like in Kansas City, it's just

2215
02:16:31.680 --> 02:16:35.920
a bunch of things that are they
just look like a hotel that says Harros

2216
02:16:35.959 --> 02:16:39.120
on it, but it's technically like
on water, like it's on the side

2217
02:16:39.159 --> 02:16:41.920
of the river. Just it's not
a boat. It's a hotel that's kind

2218
02:16:41.959 --> 02:16:45.040
of on water. Yeah, and
so it's technically a riverboat. And that's

2219
02:16:45.040 --> 02:16:48.440
what they're all. Like in Kansas
got like a pierce like offshore international waters.

2220
02:16:48.479 --> 02:16:50.639
They don't, yeah, follow the
regular it's so weird. But they've

2221
02:16:50.680 --> 02:16:54.159
got a giant parking lot that you
walk straight into it. It's not a

2222
02:16:54.200 --> 02:16:56.799
boat. Weird. Yeah, man, guys, I have an update from

2223
02:16:56.799 --> 02:17:00.280
home just wanted to let you know. I got a text from my wife

2224
02:17:00.360 --> 02:17:03.799
that says, I successfully knows suckered
that big boogie out of his nose.

2225
02:17:03.440 --> 02:17:09.200
What yuck? The big boogies outs? No more wheezing out of his nose.

2226
02:17:09.120 --> 02:17:13.120
There's a there's a big suction ball
that you can stick up their nose.

2227
02:17:13.799 --> 02:17:16.120
So you, yeah, you push
out the air and then you stick

2228
02:17:16.120 --> 02:17:20.239
it up the nose and then goes
God damn it and it sucks boogies out.

2229
02:17:20.680 --> 02:17:22.760
That sounds We've been working on this
one for a couple of days.

2230
02:17:22.799 --> 02:17:28.159
That sounds unpleasant. Bellows. Yeah, yeah, okay, it's gone all

2231
02:17:28.239 --> 02:17:33.280
right. Uh So we got some
stuff into what is it it's Giant BombCast

2232
02:17:33.479 --> 02:17:37.399
dot tumblr dot com. Brad decided
to sign up for Tumbler to get to

2233
02:17:37.440 --> 02:17:39.239
get some questions like if Reno was
a U R if Reno was the U

2234
02:17:39.360 --> 02:17:46.440
R L Giant BombCast dot tumbler dot
com, it's a good place to die.

2235
02:17:48.399 --> 02:17:50.559
I think that's the Reno slogan.
Is that that's the slogan for Reno?

2236
02:17:50.680 --> 02:17:58.559
Right? Uh yeah. He wanted
some questions with a different vibe so

2237
02:17:58.319 --> 02:18:07.319
well after so most of these came
in anonymously regarding the Nintendo controller pattern you

2238
02:18:07.360 --> 02:18:09.639
guys recently talked about, there have
been two other strange Nintendo patents this year,

2239
02:18:09.719 --> 02:18:15.600
one for the ability to daisy chain
consoles together to get more power h

2240
02:18:16.319 --> 02:18:20.680
and another for mouse scroll wheels in
place where triggers would normally be on a

2241
02:18:20.719 --> 02:18:24.600
controller. What either these patents will
likely not have anything to do with the

2242
02:18:24.719 --> 02:18:28.440
NX or the NX is going to
be the weirdest fucking thing ever, those

2243
02:18:28.680 --> 02:18:33.399
that both sounds really weird. The
idea of a scroll wheel for triggers,

2244
02:18:33.719 --> 02:18:37.440
like you imagine it clicked in like
a mouse wheel, right, so you

2245
02:18:37.479 --> 02:18:39.319
could shoot with it. You could, you could, you could push it

2246
02:18:39.479 --> 02:18:43.239
in, you know it. Keep
in mind these could be maybe these would

2247
02:18:43.280 --> 02:18:45.840
be in addition to regular analog triggers
or something like that. You know,

2248
02:18:45.879 --> 02:18:48.120
it's not the only shoulder that's the
ZR and ZL. Yeah, that maybe

2249
02:18:48.280 --> 02:18:52.799
that could be kind of neat.
What would you I'm trying to think what

2250
02:18:52.840 --> 02:18:56.159
you would if it's on like your
middle fingers, Yeah, the back of

2251
02:18:56.200 --> 02:18:58.079
a control like the paddles on the
Elite. It could be. It could

2252
02:18:58.079 --> 02:19:01.239
be a weapon and set like a
replacement for like a radial weapons menu.

2253
02:19:01.360 --> 02:19:03.239
You know, like you use on
it in a shooter on the PC,

2254
02:19:03.440 --> 02:19:09.120
like you scroll them out wheel to
change weapons maybe like below your but like

2255
02:19:09.200 --> 02:19:13.159
below the stick, like imagine the
three sixty controller and you just move your

2256
02:19:13.440 --> 02:19:16.559
like right thumb down a little more
and you can like use a wheel down

2257
02:19:16.600 --> 02:19:18.399
there you click it in. I
think it's this pattern is I think it's

2258
02:19:18.440 --> 02:19:22.760
specifically for where the tigers would be. But yeah, but yes, zooming

2259
02:19:22.840 --> 02:19:26.040
the camera in and out. I
like scroll wheels on mice. Yeah,

2260
02:19:26.559 --> 02:19:30.239
sure they feel good. I don't
like clicking them then again, I yeah,

2261
02:19:30.280 --> 02:19:33.360
clicking them is not is never precise
as nets precise as it should be.

2262
02:19:33.479 --> 02:19:37.959
But you know, if you don't
put crucial things onto those pushes,

2263
02:19:37.040 --> 02:19:43.399
then maybe that would work. I
also like the laptop nubs. That's yournority

2264
02:19:43.799 --> 02:19:48.680
Jesus Christ. Yeah loves the nubs. Love the nub. Yeah. I

2265
02:19:48.719 --> 02:19:54.559
don't know. The NX will be
interesting to say the least excited. Wait

2266
02:19:54.600 --> 02:19:58.559
and see what those those crazy people
come up to. Let's see what we

2267
02:19:58.600 --> 02:20:03.360
got here. Uh. People have
named their children after video games like Tarrok

2268
02:20:03.479 --> 02:20:09.959
and Dovekin. Really, oh my
god, Why anybody would look at Turrok

2269
02:20:09.040 --> 02:20:11.120
and say, yeah, that's a
good video game, and I would love

2270
02:20:11.159 --> 02:20:15.440
to name my child after It is
not my question if you had to choose,

2271
02:20:15.479 --> 02:20:18.959
what video game related name would you
choose? And he goes on,

2272
02:20:18.040 --> 02:20:20.959
I think Revin from Cotar is a
nice choice. Please forgive if you've answered

2273
02:20:22.000 --> 02:20:22.879
this before, because I feel you
have, and maybe we have. I

2274
02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:28.680
don't know. Gordon Freeman, Gordon
Freeman, Scanlon, I mean probably Wallawigi.

2275
02:20:30.040 --> 02:20:33.399
Yeah, yeah, I gotta stick
with it, you know, Carolds,

2276
02:20:33.920 --> 02:20:43.559
Carold sounds cool, sonic, yeah, mhmm. Jeff sub Zero okay,

2277
02:20:43.719 --> 02:20:50.440
yeah, it's pretty cool. Solid. Yeah. Oh you mean David,

2278
02:20:52.200 --> 02:20:56.920
Yeah, yeah, Big after Big
the cat, of course, yeah

2279
02:20:58.280 --> 02:21:03.440
yeah, Big, the right,
Kurt, yes, all right, the

2280
02:21:03.479 --> 02:21:05.639
middle name okay, yeah, all
right, you can have that one for

2281
02:21:05.680 --> 02:21:11.319
free. You go ahead and do
this. Oh, Scolemania a striker man.

2282
02:21:11.440 --> 02:21:13.920
You fucked up. You had you
had a chance to name something recently.

2283
02:21:15.440 --> 02:21:18.520
Can you legally change your kid's name
after they're born and have a name,

2284
02:21:18.959 --> 02:21:20.399
Yeah, you can't. I could
just take them into court and tell

2285
02:21:20.399 --> 02:21:22.159
the judge like, hey, it's
Scolemania. I don't even think you have

2286
02:21:22.200 --> 02:21:24.600
to go into the court. I
think maybe just a courthouse and you get

2287
02:21:24.680 --> 02:21:28.440
like a document of some sort.
Okay, we fucked up money we got

2288
02:21:28.680 --> 02:21:31.000
yeah, gotta get this, cross
it out, get some white out.

2289
02:21:31.120 --> 02:21:33.559
True. Yeah, we found out
the name we chose is the name of

2290
02:21:33.600 --> 02:21:35.559
a racist in our family. We
don't want to. You know, there's

2291
02:21:35.559 --> 02:21:37.239
all kinds of weird, like,
you know, stories you could make up

2292
02:21:37.280 --> 02:21:39.920
about why the name needs to be
Skull of Mania. That yeah, that

2293
02:21:41.000 --> 02:21:45.959
previous name nullified. Griffin's pretty cool. Come on, Griffin Scomania ship.

2294
02:21:46.120 --> 02:21:56.479
Yeah, maybe next time. Uh
m Hey. I'm an audio person working

2295
02:21:56.520 --> 02:22:00.559
in the games industry. I know
that most people have games they consider to

2296
02:22:00.639 --> 02:22:03.200
be graphically complex or just visually striking
through the use of a cool art style,

2297
02:22:03.680 --> 02:22:07.959
But very rarely do I hear people
describe at game's sound in the same

2298
02:22:07.040 --> 02:22:11.040
way. Do you guys have any
games you think sound amazing? Bad Company,

2299
02:22:11.399 --> 02:22:15.239
Dead Space? Oh yeah, that's
good, like anything that's like adaptive

2300
02:22:16.719 --> 02:22:20.360
where it just kind of changes,
like depending on the context of the game.

2301
02:22:20.360 --> 02:22:24.799
You get on Yoshin and the drums
kick in, yes, perfect example.

2302
02:22:24.399 --> 02:22:28.680
Uh yeah, reb Rebel Galaxy.
Yeah. Uh if so, what

2303
02:22:28.760 --> 02:22:31.319
about that game's audio stands out for
you? I need to know if anyone

2304
02:22:31.360 --> 02:22:37.639
appreciates the dope plasma gun reload.
I spent a day one another recent example

2305
02:22:37.639 --> 02:22:41.120
of Killer Instinct I think has some
of the best like soundtracks, sound effects

2306
02:22:41.200 --> 02:22:46.040
and adaptive stuff. And then yeah, the actually, yeah, the use

2307
02:22:46.079 --> 02:22:48.239
of audio and Killer Instinct is pretty
impressive. And it's some stuff where like

2308
02:22:50.760 --> 02:22:54.399
what is it it's when you're spinal
and you're fucking shooting those skulls and it

2309
02:22:54.520 --> 02:22:56.760
just sounds like a tie fighter going
from left to right or right to left

2310
02:22:56.840 --> 02:23:01.000
on your speakers. Yeah, it's
it's yeah, it's like it's loud and

2311
02:23:01.159 --> 02:23:05.000
crazy, like that game is loud
and crazy in a way that like I

2312
02:23:05.040 --> 02:23:07.600
think Bad Company is too, like
Bad Company and a lot of those Frostbite

2313
02:23:07.600 --> 02:23:11.920
Engine games, but I think that
one there was that that period, I

2314
02:23:11.959 --> 02:23:16.440
think it was better better for them
in some ways. Yeah, where that

2315
02:23:16.559 --> 02:23:18.680
shit sounds that the ship doesn't sound
like it's a like, oh, here's

2316
02:23:18.680 --> 02:23:22.360
some video game gun fire. It
sounds like shit, someone is shooting guns

2317
02:23:22.399 --> 02:23:24.479
near here. We need to we
need to hide. Yeah, I would

2318
02:23:24.479 --> 02:23:33.760
say also Halo U does a great
job with distinguishing weapons with different sounds.

2319
02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:37.440
They're all they're all very distinct.
Uh, and they all fit their their

2320
02:23:37.479 --> 02:23:41.520
gun really well, so you can
like that's just cool because like this is

2321
02:23:41.559 --> 02:23:43.239
a unique gun and it sounds the
way it sounds and it's cool. But

2322
02:23:43.360 --> 02:23:48.280
also like in a multiplayer setting,
you know what, Like you can hear

2323
02:23:48.360 --> 02:23:50.000
as you're coming around a corner what
weapon is going on over there, and

2324
02:23:50.040 --> 02:23:54.120
you may maybe don't want to mess
with it, but yeah, I feel

2325
02:23:54.120 --> 02:23:56.040
like they're you know, like people
don't call out great sound as much as

2326
02:23:56.079 --> 02:23:58.600
they call it great graphics, and
I think some of that is just like

2327
02:24:01.000 --> 02:24:05.479
you notice bad sound, but I
think good sound is harder to it can

2328
02:24:05.559 --> 02:24:09.239
be harder to notice. In some
cases, it seems to be fewer standouts.

2329
02:24:09.399 --> 02:24:13.239
Yeah, I think that's face did
a really good job of being scary

2330
02:24:13.319 --> 02:24:16.440
as far as just being in this
isolated chip and not a lot of music

2331
02:24:16.520 --> 02:24:18.840
going on, and when you just
heard stuff like a metal vent cover falling

2332
02:24:18.879 --> 02:24:20.520
to the ground, I mean it
makes you want to like do a quick

2333
02:24:20.520 --> 02:24:22.000
one eighty turn and be like,
Okay, what the fuck was that?

2334
02:24:22.239 --> 02:24:24.719
Yeah? I thought that was really
good, just scraping across the ground.

2335
02:24:26.479 --> 02:24:30.760
Damn. Yeah. When it's done
well though, it's yeah, superfective.

2336
02:24:31.600 --> 02:24:35.360
All right, Uh, what video
game vehicle would you want to own in

2337
02:24:35.440 --> 02:24:37.120
real life? In this case,
we will limit the term vehicle to something

2338
02:24:37.159 --> 02:24:39.799
around the size of a car or
buy plane. It's gonna say metallyr rex.

2339
02:24:41.159 --> 02:24:43.920
That's fine. I mean, now
that it's in a video game,

2340
02:24:45.120 --> 02:24:50.360
kind of sort of trouble Bubble,
Trouble Bubble, Yeah, bubble, it's

2341
02:24:50.600 --> 02:24:56.760
it's it's there. It's like a
it looks like a kind of helmet thing,

2342
02:24:56.280 --> 02:25:00.120
but there's like cheat guns on.
It's a big cover from what it's

2343
02:25:00.120 --> 02:25:05.639
almost like a hover motorcycle toy soldiers. Oh, it's a joke. I

2344
02:25:05.879 --> 02:25:09.319
see, okay man, Yeah,
and that'd be trouble bubble. Uh.

2345
02:25:09.479 --> 02:25:11.399
He says that the ghost from Halo
would be pretty awesome. Yeah. Yeah,

2346
02:25:11.559 --> 02:25:16.040
I tend to agree with the nWo
whole Cogan monster truck from Monster Truck

2347
02:25:16.079 --> 02:25:20.760
Madness with the giant biceps on it. That's a that's another good call.

2348
02:25:20.000 --> 02:25:24.879
Yeah yeah, I might just go
with a war Dog, your classic classic

2349
02:25:24.920 --> 02:25:28.200
war Hog. All my answers are
Halo, but I feel like it wouldn't

2350
02:25:28.200 --> 02:25:30.600
a ward Hog, and you could
you could have a ward Hog right now,

2351
02:25:31.000 --> 02:25:33.360
Let's just go get a dune buggy
and put a fucking big gun on

2352
02:25:33.440 --> 02:25:35.440
it. Yeah, okay, all
right, great, let's do that and

2353
02:25:35.479 --> 02:25:41.959
then just hit the sand dunes hard. Uh they made a war hog.

2354
02:25:41.559 --> 02:25:46.840
Yeah, Sparrows and DestinE they are
pretty cool. Yeah, like some kind

2355
02:25:46.879 --> 02:25:52.000
of hover bike things, hover speeder
thing would be cool to have. Yeah,

2356
02:25:52.040 --> 02:25:54.280
totally like the like the ghost I
think would be Yeah, those things

2357
02:25:54.360 --> 02:25:58.920
roll pretty easy, though, I
don't know you'll have power armor, so

2358
02:25:58.120 --> 02:26:01.760
come up with it. Yeah.
Probably they blow up pretty easy too.

2359
02:26:01.920 --> 02:26:05.399
Yeah. How many games in twenty
sixteen will feature vaping in some shape or

2360
02:26:05.440 --> 02:26:11.479
form? All of them by mandate
of law? You're saying five. You

2361
02:26:11.559 --> 02:26:15.280
want to put a half on that
so we can have a proper over under

2362
02:26:15.600 --> 02:26:18.280
five and a half or four and
a half four and a half. All

2363
02:26:18.360 --> 02:26:22.840
right, okay, I'm gonna take
the over all, right, hold me

2364
02:26:22.920 --> 02:26:31.760
to it. Yeah, has this
I'm just gonna read this as it came

2365
02:26:31.799 --> 02:26:37.399
in. Has anyone really been far
as decided to even to use even go

2366
02:26:37.719 --> 02:26:41.840
want to do? Look more like? Yeah? Yeah, I haven't really

2367
02:26:43.000 --> 02:26:46.319
Seriously, you don't want to look
more like? Okay, I mean you

2368
02:26:46.399 --> 02:26:50.239
haven't even tried, though I don't
I don't need to have you tried,

2369
02:26:50.319 --> 02:26:54.000
Dan to look more like a couple
lives. Okay, see it's not that

2370
02:26:54.120 --> 02:26:58.000
hard. Give it a go.
Yeah, New Year's Resolution everything. Which

2371
02:26:58.040 --> 02:27:01.559
Street Fighter character do you think should
go to jail? Oh? Uh?

2372
02:27:03.399 --> 02:27:07.040
Fuck that fang dude. He looks
sketchy and you can't see his hands.

2373
02:27:07.479 --> 02:27:16.719
Who. He's obviously up to something, Seezy probably Yeah, Scott seems like

2374
02:27:16.760 --> 02:27:18.959
he's probably a war criminal. Yeah. You look in his eyes and you're

2375
02:27:20.000 --> 02:27:22.840
like you, it's big. It's
a big Russian guy with a scar and

2376
02:27:22.879 --> 02:27:26.760
an eyepatch. Yeah, he's not
right, isn't he? Do we say

2377
02:27:26.840 --> 02:27:31.959
street fighter general? Just in general? I mean Cody's still dressed for it.

2378
02:27:33.239 --> 02:27:35.440
Yeah, but he served his time. Yeah, he's hate his debt

2379
02:27:35.520 --> 02:27:39.600
to society. I mean and Bison. Yeah, I'm in and Bison is

2380
02:27:39.639 --> 02:27:45.360
probably he could buy this way,
yuh. Bison books that that guy from

2381
02:27:45.440 --> 02:27:48.079
four with all the oil from Arcade
edition. He's up to no good?

2382
02:27:50.559 --> 02:27:54.639
Yeah, oiling himself up and slipping
around. Yeah, No, he's not

2383
02:27:54.760 --> 02:27:56.799
up to stuff. He's got a
family to sports something. No, I

2384
02:27:56.840 --> 02:28:05.120
don't think so. Cute daughters,
beautiful wife. Yeah, uh yeah,

2385
02:28:05.200 --> 02:28:11.040
Cody. I hate Cody so much? Why I don't understand the Cody hate.

2386
02:28:11.440 --> 02:28:13.680
It's I think that I don't like
the design of the character. Like

2387
02:28:15.040 --> 02:28:18.479
I like Cody in Final Fight,
sure, but like since Alpha, since

2388
02:28:18.520 --> 02:28:22.719
he got yeah, since he was
turned into a fighting game character in the

2389
02:28:22.799 --> 02:28:26.719
Street Fighter way, not in a
Final Fight whatever that in Saturn game.

2390
02:28:26.559 --> 02:28:31.520
But you know why he's in prison, right he killed the law Yeah right,

2391
02:28:31.600 --> 02:28:35.319
yeah, like you know, yeah, that's not a crime. Yeah.

2392
02:28:35.479 --> 02:28:37.479
I don't think he should Yeah,
I don't think he should have gone,

2393
02:28:37.639 --> 02:28:39.360
but but he he also bust out
of jails. Yeah, but he

2394
02:28:39.440 --> 02:28:43.159
went, and then he became like
this grim, gruff character in a way

2395
02:28:43.319 --> 02:28:48.959
that fucking shank. Yeah, he
throws fucking rocks. Yeah, damn.

2396
02:28:48.040 --> 02:28:50.040
I think a lot of cool,
A lot of his moods I don't think

2397
02:28:50.040 --> 02:28:52.920
they're I don't think they're cool.
That whirlwind shit is a painting. I

2398
02:28:52.920 --> 02:28:56.559
think Cody's a painting. The ass
slight and I don't want to learn him.

2399
02:28:56.920 --> 02:28:58.959
You just don't like getting hit with
the rocks. I don't. I

2400
02:28:58.079 --> 02:29:01.840
don't pick it up. We were
like, hey, yeah, yes,

2401
02:29:01.200 --> 02:29:03.479
he's just like holding this hand waiting
for you to fucking jump, and you're

2402
02:29:03.479 --> 02:29:07.040
like, should I jump? No? And then you jump and he's like,

2403
02:29:07.120 --> 02:29:11.639
he throws a goddamn rock ahead you
and then shakes. Cody was my

2404
02:29:11.760 --> 02:29:16.319
favorite to play as I mean,
he's no Mike Hagar, but to actually

2405
02:29:16.360 --> 02:29:18.559
control in final fight. Yeah,
uh it's a good middle of the road.

2406
02:29:18.639 --> 02:29:22.040
Yeah, yeah, I liked it. But yeah, I mean,

2407
02:29:22.079 --> 02:29:26.479
you know, people like guy Guy
Uh Yeah, No, I just I

2408
02:29:28.079 --> 02:29:31.200
don't like the change in tone.
I think his character arc getting weird dark

2409
02:29:31.440 --> 02:29:33.120
because I mean, obviously, you
know if you if you get wrongfully accused

2410
02:29:33.159 --> 02:29:35.399
and go to jail, you'd probably
come out pretty pissed off. No.

2411
02:29:35.559 --> 02:29:39.159
He he seemed like kind of a
lazy bastard anyway, so I kind of

2412
02:29:39.159 --> 02:29:41.799
think he likes it in jail.
Yeah. Three hots and a cop.

2413
02:29:41.959 --> 02:29:43.559
Yeah, it sounds pretty nice.
Now you mentioned it. Let's go.

2414
02:29:45.120 --> 02:29:46.639
You gotta do throw rocks and shank
people every now and again. I do

2415
02:29:46.719 --> 02:29:50.399
that anyway, right, you can
get the food for it now, m

2416
02:29:52.040 --> 02:29:54.559
go to Columbus for that. I
heard. It's the only way to survive

2417
02:29:54.600 --> 02:29:58.920
there. Everyone's doing it. So
it happens in Reno. I'll tell you

2418
02:29:58.959 --> 02:30:03.520
about what happens in Reno. Just
show me. No, have you considered

2419
02:30:03.520 --> 02:30:05.840
adding a game's price to the game
detail detail section of the wiki. I've

2420
02:30:05.879 --> 02:30:09.680
often looked up a game on the
site wondering the price. It seems to

2421
02:30:09.719 --> 02:30:15.159
come up a lot in quick looks
as you frantically try and remember the price

2422
02:30:15.280 --> 02:30:18.319
or look it up on the spot. It could be quite useful for downloadable

2423
02:30:18.360 --> 02:30:22.559
games and games in early access.
I mean they fluctuate, yeah, yeah,

2424
02:30:22.840 --> 02:30:26.360
yeah, it's it's the sort of
thing that you know, so like

2425
02:30:26.479 --> 02:30:28.360
this stuff, you know, it
comes out on Steam, that's always like

2426
02:30:28.479 --> 02:30:33.440
ten percent off, like across the
board. PC stuff is sometimes initial press.

2427
02:30:35.040 --> 02:30:37.920
Initial price is something we have for
DLC, but we don't have it

2428
02:30:39.000 --> 02:30:45.840
for games. But it's so I'd
like we should probably have like links to

2429
02:30:46.000 --> 02:30:50.040
places where you can buy games with
their prices, because that technology exists,

2430
02:30:50.120 --> 02:30:54.719
and other sites in this building use
it. It's just a matter of life.

2431
02:30:54.840 --> 02:30:56.600
We just pull in the price,
yeah, of connecting our video game

2432
02:30:56.719 --> 02:31:03.840
data to those video game prices.
And sometimes that's weird for us because we're

2433
02:31:03.959 --> 02:31:07.440
organized by game first, platform second. That's harder data to sift through and

2434
02:31:07.479 --> 02:31:11.360
connect up than it would be if
we went platform first, game second.

2435
02:31:11.559 --> 02:31:13.559
Yeah, because then to be like
this page is for the PS four version

2436
02:31:13.719 --> 02:31:18.840
of this game, so we know
what to pull in Instead, a lot

2437
02:31:18.879 --> 02:31:22.079
of work behind the scenes would have
to be done to get that to work.

2438
02:31:24.440 --> 02:31:26.000
You could just do name matches in
most cases and be right most of

2439
02:31:26.040 --> 02:31:30.239
the time. Yeah, but yeah, this is Yeah, that's something we

2440
02:31:30.319 --> 02:31:33.799
should have done by now. Honestly. Is that kind of price feed stuff?

2441
02:31:33.040 --> 02:31:37.159
Yeah, that would be a cool
metric to have, and it's a

2442
02:31:37.280 --> 02:31:39.680
business thing for us. Actually,
there's a like, hey, if you

2443
02:31:39.760 --> 02:31:43.360
click out to this retailer, we
get a referral that used to be that

2444
02:31:43.479 --> 02:31:46.040
used to be huge business for game
Spot years ago. I could see that

2445
02:31:46.280 --> 02:31:48.639
like this whole check prices link and
all other stuff. Like. I just

2446
02:31:48.680 --> 02:31:50.840
think it would be cool to be
able to see the prices of stuff,

2447
02:31:52.440 --> 02:31:54.959
whether we make money or not,
like whatever. But yeah, I don't

2448
02:31:56.000 --> 02:31:58.360
know. I would not be shocked
if we got to that sometime next year.

2449
02:32:00.879 --> 02:32:07.719
No current plans Okay, uh,
we have no current plans for anything

2450
02:32:07.760 --> 02:32:11.440
in the next year, so exactly. No. The current plan is to

2451
02:32:11.760 --> 02:32:15.719
go home until twenty sixteen. We
have a sticky note on the TV reminding

2452
02:32:15.760 --> 02:32:18.559
us to check the price. So
same platform. Yeah, for quick looks,

2453
02:32:18.879 --> 02:32:22.639
we did one today. I got
the platform, but halfway through.

2454
02:32:22.280 --> 02:32:26.440
Ye completely, it's hard. For
some reason, it is hard. I

2455
02:32:26.440 --> 02:32:28.479
don't give you guys too much shit
about it. Yeah, you just have

2456
02:32:28.559 --> 02:32:33.760
a Yeah, it's something that we've
actually been meaning to be way better about

2457
02:32:33.799 --> 02:32:35.959
us uh in a few different ways. But you know, next year,

2458
02:32:37.040 --> 02:32:39.840
man, we'll get to that stuff. Uh. Okay. As the current

2459
02:32:39.879 --> 02:32:45.920
crop of game journalists get swapped out
for newer and younger talent, it would

2460
02:32:45.920 --> 02:32:48.159
be natural to assume that how far
back their frame of reference is would be

2461
02:32:48.239 --> 02:32:52.120
less than the incumbents. I don't
like this. All this whole like replacing

2462
02:32:52.159 --> 02:32:58.639
and all this stuff is real savage. Well, many of today's gaming journalists

2463
02:32:58.680 --> 02:33:01.399
started gaming during the any Yes Area
era or earlier. Do you think that

2464
02:33:01.559 --> 02:33:05.680
moving forward we will see an increased
emphasis on gaming news sites hiring people who

2465
02:33:05.719 --> 02:33:11.600
have purposefully gone back to learn about
games that are from earlier eras. No,

2466
02:33:11.799 --> 02:33:15.639
we're just gonna have a lot more
people that are like Pokemon. I

2467
02:33:15.760 --> 02:33:18.120
think, Yeah, I don't know. I think if people are that invested

2468
02:33:18.120 --> 02:33:20.319
in games to want to make a
career out of it, and you you

2469
02:33:20.399 --> 02:33:22.399
know, do the leg work to
do that, you know, probably,

2470
02:33:22.680 --> 02:33:24.680
But I also think you don't have
to it's not necessary, but I think

2471
02:33:24.680 --> 02:33:28.479
it adds context to things. And
you know, like I was born in

2472
02:33:28.559 --> 02:33:31.719
eighty four and I've spent plenty of
time playing Space Invaders and Asteroids and Centipede

2473
02:33:31.719 --> 02:33:35.520
and stuff like that. Like I
think it's important. And we teach them,

2474
02:33:35.600 --> 02:33:37.079
we bring them home. It's like, Okay, we're gonna play Resident

2475
02:33:37.120 --> 02:33:43.360
Evil this weekend. Fuck that that's
happened. Sometimes, that's terrible. Why

2476
02:33:43.360 --> 02:33:46.319
would you subject them to that garbage? Well, they need to learn,

2477
02:33:46.920 --> 02:33:48.120
all right, they need to know
that this ship. I think it's one

2478
02:33:48.159 --> 02:33:54.159
of those things that like that's I
feel like it's come up a lot over

2479
02:33:54.200 --> 02:33:56.799
the years. Is yeah, like
are of those old games actually that important?

2480
02:33:58.520 --> 02:34:03.360
Like there's something I feel like they're
there's information to be gleaned from Superman

2481
02:34:03.479 --> 02:34:07.120
for the Atari twenty six hundred,
but the only real information that's relevant to

2482
02:34:07.159 --> 02:34:09.760
day is like, well that game
was shit, just like all the other

2483
02:34:09.760 --> 02:34:13.799
Superman games. Uh So it's it's
yeah, like a lot of that stuff,

2484
02:34:13.920 --> 02:34:16.959
Like you could pick out handfuls of
like individual games over the years that

2485
02:34:18.000 --> 02:34:22.520
are that are actually probably still important
in a historical sense, but in terms

2486
02:34:22.559 --> 02:34:26.159
of like do you need to know
them to do this job. Like no,

2487
02:34:26.360 --> 02:34:28.479
but I think again, those people
that are that invested would probably just

2488
02:34:28.639 --> 02:34:31.159
want to, you know, like, well, also, it's it's it's

2489
02:34:31.479 --> 02:34:37.200
it's now become easier and way less
frowned upon to just straight up download all

2490
02:34:37.200 --> 02:34:41.159
that shit and emulate it right right, you know, uh, which is

2491
02:34:41.959 --> 02:34:43.959
like a weird turn of events,
Like stuff that would seem unthinkable is now

2492
02:34:45.079 --> 02:34:50.000
like Twitch plays Pokemon, right,
Oh okay, so you're just gonna stream

2493
02:34:50.000 --> 02:34:52.680
and emulate Okay, all right,
No, I guess I guess no one

2494
02:34:52.760 --> 02:34:54.719
really cares about that stuff anymore.
Great, that's awesome because it makes a

2495
02:34:54.719 --> 02:34:58.159
lot of stuff a lot of way
easier. Yeah. So I don't know.

2496
02:34:58.280 --> 02:35:01.440
Yeah, I think that like old
games are accessible in a way as

2497
02:35:01.479 --> 02:35:05.040
long as you're willing to jump through
those hoops, accessible in a way that

2498
02:35:05.159 --> 02:35:07.040
like they've never been before. Yeah. And like if someone's a film buff,

2499
02:35:07.200 --> 02:35:09.920
you know, you're watching movies from
you know, decades before you were

2500
02:35:11.000 --> 02:35:13.200
born. I don't see why,
you know, if you're a huge gamer,

2501
02:35:13.360 --> 02:35:15.719
Like, why would that be different? I guess I don't know,

2502
02:35:15.920 --> 02:35:18.319
Like I its at some point it's
like I don't know that I need like

2503
02:35:18.399 --> 02:35:24.719
someone showing up is like gonna just
drop references to random right old neys games

2504
02:35:24.760 --> 02:35:28.959
because they can. But then you
said dumb if you don't know you know,

2505
02:35:30.159 --> 02:35:33.319
like, but you sound dumb to
an audience that is increasingly you know,

2506
02:35:33.360 --> 02:35:35.719
it's like the audience, I mean, the vast majority of the audience

2507
02:35:35.760 --> 02:35:39.520
that I think we have now doesn't
know about any of that stuff. Yeah.

2508
02:35:39.920 --> 02:35:41.239
So it's like I'm thinking about you
know, I've talked to people who

2509
02:35:41.879 --> 02:35:46.440
thought that Banjo Ka Zoo Nuts and
Bolts was the first Banjo ka ZOOI game.

2510
02:35:46.479 --> 02:35:48.639
It's the first one that mattered.
But it's like this, you know,

2511
02:35:50.280 --> 02:35:52.280
working in an industry and you're saying
things that are just ridiculously wrong,

2512
02:35:52.440 --> 02:35:54.959
Like that doesn't look great. Yeah, no, it's a yeah. I

2513
02:35:54.959 --> 02:35:58.239
mean the factual end of it,
absolutely, you know, people need to

2514
02:35:58.280 --> 02:36:01.000
look that shit up and know that
sort of stuff for sure. But in

2515
02:36:01.120 --> 02:36:05.079
terms of just like do you need
to know what the original banjo because we

2516
02:36:05.159 --> 02:36:07.680
played like to be able to do
this job. No, But again I

2517
02:36:07.760 --> 02:36:11.360
think I don't know, man,
you like playing well and you kind of

2518
02:36:11.399 --> 02:36:15.920
grew up with Yeah, you know, I'm in this weird like area of

2519
02:36:16.079 --> 02:36:18.319
like, yeah, I mean,
I you know, was born around the

2520
02:36:18.399 --> 02:36:22.920
same time as commercial video games.
Yeah, yeah, so, but I

2521
02:36:22.959 --> 02:36:24.319
don't know. I just know a
lot of people are like me where it's

2522
02:36:24.360 --> 02:36:26.840
like, you know, like when
emulators got big or whatever. I remembering

2523
02:36:26.959 --> 02:36:30.360
in college just going back, like
I grew up at the NS, but

2524
02:36:30.520 --> 02:36:33.319
the big MegaMan's and punch outs and
all that stuffy and like I wanted to

2525
02:36:33.360 --> 02:36:35.319
play all these obscure things and check
them out and go back and go back

2526
02:36:35.360 --> 02:36:37.920
further than that. And I know
a lot of people that are really in

2527
02:36:37.920 --> 02:36:39.520
the games that do the same thing, just the same way film buffs want

2528
02:36:39.559 --> 02:36:41.920
to watch Casa Blanker, I bet
you know. And you think about like

2529
02:36:43.000 --> 02:36:45.479
the games that are getting speed run
and all this other stuff. It's like

2530
02:36:45.520 --> 02:36:48.159
you've got kids that are like,
you know, impossibly young to have cared

2531
02:36:48.159 --> 02:36:50.639
about that stuff originally. Yeah,
like seventeen year olds, you know,

2532
02:36:50.719 --> 02:36:54.639
competing to see who can beat Super
Metroid the fastest and stuff like that,

2533
02:36:54.760 --> 02:36:56.000
or even further back, you know, it's like weird, just like Japan

2534
02:36:56.120 --> 02:37:00.280
only crazy shit and and trying to
speed run and all the other stuff.

2535
02:37:00.319 --> 02:37:01.959
Like you know, there's definitely an
interest in that stuff that wasn't there before.

2536
02:37:03.200 --> 02:37:07.000
And I think a lot of that
is because that stuff is like three

2537
02:37:07.040 --> 02:37:09.000
clicks away, and that's heartening though, you know, it is like I

2538
02:37:09.120 --> 02:37:13.000
like that, that's what that appreciation
is there, like something like Mario Maker

2539
02:37:13.079 --> 02:37:15.760
can it can be a big thing. Now it's totally based on these games

2540
02:37:15.799 --> 02:37:18.079
that are like twenty five whatever.
Yeah, and it's this weird thing where

2541
02:37:18.079 --> 02:37:22.879
it's like, yes, technically all
of that is like gray area legality at

2542
02:37:22.959 --> 02:37:26.760
best, but everyone involved it just
seems to look the other way. Now.

2543
02:37:26.959 --> 02:37:30.920
I was talking about this morning like
it was it happened, like I've

2544
02:37:30.920 --> 02:37:33.760
been thinking about it in the wake
of Star Wars coming out and just all

2545
02:37:33.799 --> 02:37:39.000
these people just brazenly saying like,
thanks guys, I just downloaded the specialized

2546
02:37:39.040 --> 02:37:41.840
edition. Of course I'm watching those
ones. Naturally, I'm gonna watch those

2547
02:37:41.399 --> 02:37:46.360
and like being smarty about it.
But that's at the same time they're basically

2548
02:37:46.399 --> 02:37:48.760
something like, yeah, I wouldn't
downloaded this bootleg fucking copy of Star Wars

2549
02:37:48.760 --> 02:37:52.600
and I'm watching that. Yeah,
fuck you Disney. Like it's weird.

2550
02:37:52.959 --> 02:37:58.479
It's weird that that is something that
people just feel totally comfortable just like reporting

2551
02:37:58.559 --> 02:38:01.639
publicly and and and yeah, and
then like I thought about it in terms

2552
02:38:01.639 --> 02:38:05.360
of like Twitch and the number of
games that are streamed on Twitch that are

2553
02:38:05.760 --> 02:38:09.360
coming out of emulators and all that
other stuff and and and Twitch Places Pokemon.

2554
02:38:09.799 --> 02:38:13.120
You know, it's like there used
to be Nintendo used to send out

2555
02:38:13.120 --> 02:38:16.760
press releases about like the fucking Pokemon
hosting bromb sites they were shutting down,

2556
02:38:18.559 --> 02:38:20.479
you know, and they'd be like, we shut down twenty more sites devoted

2557
02:38:20.479 --> 02:38:24.920
to bootleg Pokemon cartridges, and like
generally they were focused on the stuff there

2558
02:38:26.000 --> 02:38:30.000
was actually like producing physical cartridges.
That was the stuff they mainly wanted to

2559
02:38:30.000 --> 02:38:31.600
stop. But it would still be
like, you know, hey, there's

2560
02:38:31.440 --> 02:38:35.159
people were letting people download Alleyway for
the game Boy, and we said,

2561
02:38:35.200 --> 02:38:37.840
fuck that, we shut them down. And now you know, you have

2562
02:38:37.879 --> 02:38:43.200
Twitched talking about like how big Twitch
Places Pokemon was for them and their business

2563
02:38:43.280 --> 02:38:45.399
and all this stuff, and it's
just like, well, like this giant

2564
02:38:45.440 --> 02:38:48.959
company owned by Amazon talking about like
thing that's emulated. Yeah, money,

2565
02:38:50.040 --> 02:38:50.959
it's weird, And I guess it's
just one of those things that like,

2566
02:38:52.040 --> 02:38:56.760
you know, the world changes and
and that sort of stuff is is far

2567
02:38:56.840 --> 02:39:01.079
more acceptable than than it ever has
been. And I think that's great.

2568
02:39:01.440 --> 02:39:03.639
In a way. It's weird because
it's like, you know, technically,

2569
02:39:03.959 --> 02:39:05.680
especially in an era where everyone just
wants to resell the same old games to

2570
02:39:05.719 --> 02:39:09.319
you over and over again. Like
it's directly at odds with this stuff being

2571
02:39:09.360 --> 02:39:13.000
available. But like the cat is
out of the bag. You can get

2572
02:39:13.040 --> 02:39:16.360
a fucking archive dot org and fucking
download full sets of you know, Nintendo

2573
02:39:16.440 --> 02:39:20.000
platform rom sets and stuff. You
know, It's like archive dot org is

2574
02:39:20.000 --> 02:39:26.280
like a legitimate thing. It's not
just like fucking Shady's fucking Pokemon rom Palace

2575
02:39:26.399 --> 02:39:31.879
dot net slash Geo Citi's party time. It's you know, it's like hey,

2576
02:39:31.959 --> 02:39:33.079
it's not like hey, the u
r L changes every week. It's

2577
02:39:33.120 --> 02:39:35.840
like, hey, no, you
need to see this torrent before you can

2578
02:39:35.879 --> 02:39:39.840
download these mame ROMs. It's like, no, just fucking they're everywhere.

2579
02:39:39.120 --> 02:39:46.360
They're fucking everywhere, And it's kind
of awesome from a like a like spreading

2580
02:39:46.399 --> 02:39:52.760
the knowledge about video games perspective,
yea, even if some parts of the

2581
02:39:52.879 --> 02:39:56.200
business end of that are super crazy. Yeah, but it's definitely like,

2582
02:39:56.280 --> 02:40:00.719
you know, I think that's affected
like my like desire to like collect games,

2583
02:40:01.559 --> 02:40:05.440
especially as I run out of room. Yeah, or like or like

2584
02:40:05.559 --> 02:40:07.680
play the games I have. Even
it's this thing of like you know,

2585
02:40:07.799 --> 02:40:11.959
like I plugged in my Retron and
dumped all my carts. It would have

2586
02:40:11.959 --> 02:40:15.280
been faster to download them, but
as like I bought this thing, I'm

2587
02:40:15.319 --> 02:40:16.760
like this is kind of cool,
Like I'm dumping this, I'm getting my

2588
02:40:16.799 --> 02:40:20.600
saved data, like you know,
there's like it was something cool about doing

2589
02:40:20.680 --> 02:40:24.760
it, and like, I you
know, I don't need to pull those

2590
02:40:24.799 --> 02:40:28.879
games out ever. Again, It's
so at some point it's like, well

2591
02:40:28.920 --> 02:40:31.000
then why do I have them?
And the answer is because that keeps the

2592
02:40:31.079 --> 02:40:35.840
legal baby, But it's but really, what, like, who's you know?

2593
02:40:35.920 --> 02:40:37.000
This is crazy? I should get
rid of all that stuff? Yeah,

2594
02:40:37.159 --> 02:40:39.280
I should. I should take all
those video games and pour them and

2595
02:40:39.440 --> 02:40:45.079
throw them in the creek because they're
just everywhere. That copy of Mark of

2596
02:40:45.120 --> 02:40:48.479
the Wolves that I paid eleven hundred
dollars for, why do I have it?

2597
02:40:50.360 --> 02:40:52.319
You could just buy it in the
Humble mental right now. Yeah,

2598
02:40:52.440 --> 02:40:56.559
And that's just that's just a rom
that's a rom set. Even you can

2599
02:40:56.600 --> 02:40:58.920
pull out of that and use in
mame or something else. Like it's crazy.

2600
02:41:00.760 --> 02:41:03.799
The world is nuts. I'll take
it if you don't know I want

2601
02:41:03.840 --> 02:41:07.879
it. Also, I saw a
copy of it going on eBay for slightly

2602
02:41:07.920 --> 02:41:11.639
more than I paid recently. Damn. It seems like maybe the market finally

2603
02:41:11.719 --> 02:41:16.200
recovered to a point where, of
course I didn't see anyone actually paying that

2604
02:41:16.319 --> 02:41:22.520
price for it. But what hey, uh, let's see last few here.

2605
02:41:22.000 --> 02:41:26.559
Uh. I woke up this morning
and I egged a lot and it

2606
02:41:26.639 --> 02:41:31.120
fucking sucked. Man. Anyway,
PB and J sandwich or pbean honey?

2607
02:41:31.200 --> 02:41:35.440
Tell me now, honey, PB
and JA. Yeah, jelly, man,

2608
02:41:35.520 --> 02:41:39.319
you need the jelly to like it. Otherwise it's just it's too much

2609
02:41:39.959 --> 02:41:43.000
augmented with honey afterwards. Else Yeah, I've had maybe three peanut butter and

2610
02:41:43.120 --> 02:41:46.920
jelly sandwiches in my life. Thousands
upon thousands of peanut butter. What will

2611
02:41:46.920 --> 02:41:52.719
you do? Crunchy too, super
crunchy always? I take that you do.

2612
02:41:54.079 --> 02:41:56.120
This is what I've been doing recently. On the other piece, you

2613
02:41:56.200 --> 02:42:00.479
do either that white chocolate wonderful stuff
which Jeff you told me about this podcast.

2614
02:42:00.520 --> 02:42:01.639
That's pretty good. You don't even
need to make a sandwich to eat

2615
02:42:01.680 --> 02:42:05.120
that. You can just get it
straight out of the can with the jar

2616
02:42:05.520 --> 02:42:09.639
yea or natilla, and then in
between yeah, kind of a bunch of

2617
02:42:09.799 --> 02:42:15.879
bananas and uh so, yeah,
okay, you're non sticky. Yeah,

2618
02:42:16.840 --> 02:42:20.280
like the peanut butter and the honey, those are both in the bread,

2619
02:42:20.399 --> 02:42:22.440
Like that's all dry and sticky.
I mean you can't just eat that.

2620
02:42:24.280 --> 02:42:26.959
The sandwiches, you can't eat it
as fast as you can a peanut butter

2621
02:42:28.040 --> 02:42:33.159
and jelly sandwich. The jelly is
the lubricant I've never needed. I'm sorry.

2622
02:42:33.360 --> 02:42:37.280
Yeah, that's that's that's where I
break. Like I really like honey

2623
02:42:37.360 --> 02:42:41.040
roasted peanuts, and I like bit
of honey. Yeah, honey is an

2624
02:42:41.079 --> 02:42:46.399
accent, but I don't like actual
honey on stuff, Like, hey,

2625
02:42:46.440 --> 02:42:48.159
do you want to drink a cup
of tea and put some honey in it?

2626
02:42:48.239 --> 02:42:52.840
Like not maybe, no, a
little dab like every every every time.

2627
02:42:52.879 --> 02:42:56.680
And I haven't done this a lot, but I did it again relatively

2628
02:42:56.719 --> 02:42:58.079
recently, going like because there's this
thing of like am I wrong? Am

2629
02:42:58.120 --> 02:43:01.639
I wrong? Like just get a
little honey on my finger, taste it,

2630
02:43:01.799 --> 02:43:05.920
and it's just like, oh no, it's got to be like peanut

2631
02:43:05.920 --> 02:43:07.959
butter by itself can be great,
but yeah, I don't do honey by

2632
02:43:07.959 --> 02:43:11.239
itself. Honey like on like a
KFC biscuit or something is great. No,

2633
02:43:11.440 --> 02:43:13.879
man, No, they give you
the butter for a reason. Yeah,

2634
02:43:13.920 --> 02:43:16.719
I've never done that. You wait, I never had butter. I

2635
02:43:16.760 --> 02:43:20.879
ever put their but the butter they
give you with the Kentucky Fried chicken you've

2636
02:43:20.879 --> 02:43:22.559
never liked. I never had used
that ship onto the biscuits. I never

2637
02:43:22.639 --> 02:43:26.319
had butter on bread until I was
like twenty seven. I didn't have visible

2638
02:43:26.520 --> 02:43:30.360
butter until like well into my like
mid twenties or so. I keep forgetting

2639
02:43:30.399 --> 02:43:33.319
that. You're such a weird though, I'm much better now. But it

2640
02:43:33.399 --> 02:43:37.600
turns out, yeah, butter,
it turns out. Yeah. I actually

2641
02:43:37.760 --> 02:43:41.399
like to put butter then peanut butter
on my and J sandwich. That sounds

2642
02:43:41.479 --> 02:43:46.319
crazy, No, it's not crazy. Want nine out one hundred times.

2643
02:43:46.360 --> 02:43:48.159
I just do the chunky peanut butter
and that's it. Really there you go

2644
02:43:48.799 --> 02:43:54.479
wrong. It makes a little creamy
air, doesn't stick to your your stuff

2645
02:43:54.000 --> 02:43:58.399
nearly. Have you ever toasted?
On occasion? Toast is pretty good?

2646
02:43:58.440 --> 02:44:01.200
Yeah, butter, m I have
a peanut butter and pickle. Man,

2647
02:44:01.639 --> 02:44:03.600
what the fuck are you serious?
Is that? I think people are you

2648
02:44:05.000 --> 02:44:09.120
kidding me? Huh? That sounds
like the worst combination I had almost exclusively

2649
02:44:09.200 --> 02:44:11.280
for lunch growing up. The fuck
is wrong with you? Yeah, I

2650
02:44:11.399 --> 02:44:15.200
just think pickles are not I just
don't. I just don't like pickles,

2651
02:44:15.440 --> 02:44:20.319
Yeah, I just I just don't
like pickless. They're they're their plants.

2652
02:44:24.200 --> 02:44:26.680
Does california're running out of water?
Worry you do people talk about it or

2653
02:44:26.799 --> 02:44:30.639
change their behaviors at all? I
don't know. I haven't done a thing

2654
02:44:30.680 --> 02:44:33.360
since I've been here. Water still
comes out of my tap in my shower.

2655
02:44:33.440 --> 02:44:35.440
I have not changed a single thing
about my life. I'm sorry.

2656
02:44:35.479 --> 02:44:37.079
I haven't always been raining constantly.
I haven't. Well, no, I

2657
02:44:37.159 --> 02:44:41.440
mean it's they're still dropped. Yeah, you see it when you like,

2658
02:44:41.479 --> 02:44:45.120
you know, driving the outlying areas, Like, I haven't done that.

2659
02:44:45.399 --> 02:44:48.559
Okay, I have not watered my
lawn in two summers. Okay, I

2660
02:44:48.600 --> 02:44:52.719
don't have a lawn. But now
my lawn is real fucked up as you

2661
02:44:52.799 --> 02:44:56.799
might expect. Yeah, I'm not
watering it. The city of San Francisco

2662
02:44:56.959 --> 02:45:01.120
turns off like sprinklers in some areas, so parks, like the grass turns

2663
02:45:01.200 --> 02:45:05.479
to dirt. Yeah. Like I
got a ton of stuff over the summer

2664
02:45:05.520 --> 02:45:07.760
in my mailbox saying like make sure
you're not wasting your water. And then

2665
02:45:07.840 --> 02:45:11.719
they were like, hey, water
your lawn at night, you fuckers,

2666
02:45:11.360 --> 02:45:13.920
or we'll come get you. It
seemed like they were just short of like

2667
02:45:15.000 --> 02:45:16.280
trying to say like, hey,
we're gonna find you if you're using water

2668
02:45:16.479 --> 02:45:22.559
irrationally. Yeah. I can see
that, but I haven't seen any evidence

2669
02:45:22.639 --> 02:45:26.520
of I want to say, in
Minnesota, actually there was a there was

2670
02:45:26.559 --> 02:45:30.559
a weird drought like one summer where
like certain sides of the street were able

2671
02:45:30.600 --> 02:45:33.879
to like wash their cars or water
their lawns, and if you weren't on

2672
02:45:33.319 --> 02:45:37.479
like you know, that specific side
of the streets on that week, you

2673
02:45:37.559 --> 02:45:41.120
could get fined. Like half the
year there's snow on everything, and half

2674
02:45:41.159 --> 02:45:43.639
the year it's melting everywhere. There's
some weird ship going on the two months

2675
02:45:43.680 --> 02:45:46.760
where it's nice and like to lie
in August. Yeah, yeah, that's

2676
02:45:46.959 --> 02:45:50.239
yeah. The dynamics of water are
weird. I mean, in California,

2677
02:45:50.319 --> 02:45:54.520
most that water goes to growing almonds
that are sold overseas, and like commercial

2678
02:45:54.559 --> 02:45:58.000
agriculture steals most of the staces water. You can steal water, I mean

2679
02:45:58.200 --> 02:46:01.639
they're just using water and they're paying
whatever the rate is. But the rate

2680
02:46:01.680 --> 02:46:05.719
should probably be higher considering we're running
out of water. Got there does ball?

2681
02:46:05.920 --> 02:46:09.840
Yeah, exactly, So they're paying
for water and that like it's not

2682
02:46:09.920 --> 02:46:13.920
like the rain water is making their
crops grow. It's like coming out of

2683
02:46:13.959 --> 02:46:16.799
their hose that's coming from the same
water tower that goes to your shower.

2684
02:46:16.120 --> 02:46:20.799
Basic. That's the basic theory,
I guess. Is that why they are

2685
02:46:20.840 --> 02:46:30.520
all those signs? Yes, okay, yeah, so I'm not necessarily,

2686
02:46:30.639 --> 02:46:33.719
like immediately worried, but I feel
like there are a number of things that

2687
02:46:33.799 --> 02:46:39.479
could happen to California that would make
it incredibly undesirable to continue living in California.

2688
02:46:39.959 --> 02:46:43.639
And that's on the list. It's
not the highest thing on the list.

2689
02:46:43.680 --> 02:46:48.680
But you know this thing to Arena, Yeah, exactly, move it

2690
02:46:48.760 --> 02:46:52.360
inland or what will become the new
coast when California falls into the ocean,

2691
02:46:54.079 --> 02:46:58.399
when the ocean rises or whatever it
is, fucking Godzilla. I don't think

2692
02:46:58.399 --> 02:47:03.399
it's some land falls. Yeah,
massive earthquakes. Oh yeah it does.

2693
02:47:03.600 --> 02:47:11.920
Yeah. Uh. Last question,
let's count three studios. Ask if you'd

2694
02:47:11.959 --> 02:47:16.760
like to see their super secret projects. They're working on Valve, rock Star,

2695
02:47:16.479 --> 02:47:22.360
and Nintendo's R and D for the
new x console. You can only

2696
02:47:22.440 --> 02:47:26.479
choose one. Which do you choose? Valve? Yeah, for me,

2697
02:47:26.600 --> 02:47:30.799
it's one of the other two.
I don't know, rock Start, rock

2698
02:47:30.840 --> 02:47:33.040
Star. I don't think it would
be that surprising. I bet they got

2699
02:47:33.079 --> 02:47:35.799
Bully two somewhere in some room,
Red Dead somewhere doing something. I don't

2700
02:47:35.840 --> 02:47:39.280
think they have anything like superb Tennis
too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2701
02:47:41.120 --> 02:47:45.760
yeah, Valve, but maybe it
is just half Life three something I feel

2702
02:47:45.799 --> 02:47:48.120
I would be a disappointment. I
feel like your trip to Valve would be

2703
02:47:48.120 --> 02:47:52.559
a real bummer. Yeah, I
think soots. Whereas, like if you

2704
02:47:52.639 --> 02:47:56.799
could go see what Nintendo was working
on right now, especially right now,

2705
02:47:56.920 --> 02:48:00.799
because they're in a very interesting place
with that thing, you know, considering

2706
02:48:01.479 --> 02:48:03.000
where they would be likely to start
debuting it and all this other stuff,

2707
02:48:03.040 --> 02:48:07.840
Like they're in there right now.
Yeah, they've got they must have hardware.

2708
02:48:09.360 --> 02:48:13.600
They probably have designs of form factors
and all this other stuff, like

2709
02:48:13.680 --> 02:48:16.239
twenty of them all laid out.
Yeah, which one feels which one feels

2710
02:48:16.239 --> 02:48:18.920
the best? What's what should look
like? Which we call it? That's

2711
02:48:18.000 --> 02:48:22.879
the one like that, that's the
choice, that's the only definitely the most

2712
02:48:22.920 --> 02:48:26.479
interesting, Like Valve, you could
go see what the nine different canceled versions

2713
02:48:26.520 --> 02:48:28.440
of Half Lie three. Yeah,
I would love to see that would be

2714
02:48:28.520 --> 02:48:31.639
really interesting to see me, But
not on the level of a fucking whole

2715
02:48:31.760 --> 02:48:35.959
device, you know. Yeah,
a console like Valve will just be like,

2716
02:48:37.120 --> 02:48:39.760
oh, I don't know, we
got VR stuff over here. There's

2717
02:48:39.799 --> 02:48:43.440
a Steam machine, Steam machine downstairs
you mean in the basement. Yeah,

2718
02:48:43.520 --> 02:48:46.360
yeah, we keep them down there. They try to come up every once

2719
02:48:46.360 --> 02:48:48.200
in a while, but we're just
like, no, you guys, keep

2720
02:48:48.239 --> 02:48:52.959
your desks down there. I just
want to go hang out there. Do

2721
02:48:52.040 --> 02:48:54.959
you see the Street Fighter five is
coming to Steam Os? Yeah, yeah,

2722
02:48:56.799 --> 02:48:58.799
they're going to be supporting that.
Yeah, weird. What's gonna work

2723
02:49:00.040 --> 02:49:03.360
it? It just means they'll be
running the game on Linux basically. Yeah,

2724
02:49:03.479 --> 02:49:07.399
it's gonna be a weird port.
Yeah, I don't understand, and

2725
02:49:07.760 --> 02:49:09.920
like, that's a pretty demanding game, but it's it's one of those things

2726
02:49:09.959 --> 02:49:13.280
where it's be I guess it'd be
open GL at that point, and if

2727
02:49:13.319 --> 02:49:18.520
they're doing PS four that's also open
GL. Yeah, so it might be

2728
02:49:18.879 --> 02:49:22.360
there's probably some work that could be
duplicated. I don't know, I don't

2729
02:49:22.360 --> 02:49:24.360
know. I don't see the Steam
machines, like really no, like it's

2730
02:49:24.399 --> 02:49:28.159
getting huge anyway. But yeah,
it's an interesting thing. I'm glad they're

2731
02:49:28.159 --> 02:49:31.559
doing it. Uh. And that's
all I got. But let me hit

2732
02:49:31.639 --> 02:49:35.280
refresh on this page one more time
and see if any other horrific stuff came

2733
02:49:35.319 --> 02:49:41.200
in. It's stumbler, uh something, and uh see what we got here?

2734
02:49:43.159 --> 02:49:48.120
What is the mystery of the Druids? I don't know. I'm from

2735
02:49:48.159 --> 02:49:52.920
the day. Oh okay, yeah, okay, yeah. Who would win

2736
02:49:52.959 --> 02:49:58.159
in a fight? Duke Togo or
solid Snake? Solid Snake? Who's Duke

2737
02:49:58.239 --> 02:50:03.239
Togo gold Go thirteen? Oh God, Jesus Christ. I saw a really

2738
02:50:03.280 --> 02:50:07.319
cool clip with him yesterday. What
was he doing or was he shooting people?

2739
02:50:07.399 --> 02:50:11.520
He was? Those are the only
night things what checked this out?

2740
02:50:11.680 --> 02:50:13.959
Like he was in an elevator,
okay, all right, and some assassin

2741
02:50:15.159 --> 02:50:18.319
came in dressed up like it's like
a caterer or some shitlin all right,

2742
02:50:18.639 --> 02:50:22.120
all right. So the caterer had
his back turned towards him, right,

2743
02:50:22.559 --> 02:50:24.760
and he lifted up the you know, the food tray, pulled out a

2744
02:50:24.799 --> 02:50:28.639
gun, and then he pointed the
gun through his own chest to try and

2745
02:50:28.760 --> 02:50:35.440
shoot go Gold behind him shot Google
still fucking dodged, still fucking dodged,

2746
02:50:37.399 --> 02:50:41.559
so that stupid ass assassin killed himself
to try and get at him, but

2747
02:50:41.479 --> 02:50:48.760
still failed. I watched The Professional
gold Go thirteen over the weekend, which

2748
02:50:48.840 --> 02:50:56.879
is a nineteen eighty three animated movie
from Japan Japanimation. I think they call

2749
02:50:56.920 --> 02:51:03.760
it, and I don't know what
that is. They all right, you

2750
02:51:03.799 --> 02:51:07.840
know, i'd played the games.
I knew a little bit about my man,

2751
02:51:09.000 --> 02:51:13.360
Duke Togo and his desire to not
speak and his desire to be a

2752
02:51:13.440 --> 02:51:18.239
ruthless motherfucker. But that thing,
he is a ruthless money It's a cool

2753
02:51:18.280 --> 02:51:24.120
motherfuck He just he just keeps to
himself, He keeps quiet. He shoots

2754
02:51:24.159 --> 02:51:28.879
people for money, and then he
fucks. That's all he does. Even

2755
02:51:28.879 --> 02:51:33.719
when he's being chased by the US
government working for like for eighty three to

2756
02:51:33.879 --> 02:51:37.559
some heavy stuff. Man, the
whole government's working for this big corporation who

2757
02:51:37.639 --> 02:51:43.520
wants gold Go thirteen dead and they
can't do it. He is like having

2758
02:51:43.639 --> 02:51:46.840
sex with his targets and then they're
end up. They He's all over the

2759
02:51:46.879 --> 02:51:52.959
place and just he's a gold Go
thirteen is a pretty cool motherfucker. Agreed,

2760
02:51:54.319 --> 02:51:56.520
solid Snake is all wishy washy and
just like I don't know this virus

2761
02:51:56.639 --> 02:52:00.799
blah blah blah, I don't know. I'm the soldier. This dude's a

2762
02:52:00.840 --> 02:52:03.399
fucking assassin for hire. Solid Snake
save the world. It's like a fucking

2763
02:52:03.760 --> 02:52:11.440
well, fuck whatever, gold Go
thirteen, I don't have to spoil the

2764
02:52:11.520 --> 02:52:15.440
end of this thing for The guy
jumps out of a window to take his

2765
02:52:15.559 --> 02:52:18.079
own life, gold Go thirteen looks
out of the window, says, no,

2766
02:52:18.280 --> 02:52:22.920
fuck that shoots He shoots him in
the head with a pistol as he's

2767
02:52:22.959 --> 02:52:26.360
falling out of a building. Just
looks out there and shoots him right between

2768
02:52:26.399 --> 02:52:31.799
the eyes. Pow done. Should
I watch this man? It's it's probably

2769
02:52:31.799 --> 02:52:33.479
worth checking out. It sounds pretty
cool. Yeah. I had never even

2770
02:52:33.520 --> 02:52:37.040
heard of him. I just said
Solid Snake because it was it's a it's

2771
02:52:37.079 --> 02:52:39.760
a it's a vibe thing more than
anything else. It's a stylish vibe thing,

2772
02:52:39.920 --> 02:52:45.479
because it's like it felt like it
was made by people who like kind

2773
02:52:45.520 --> 02:52:50.799
of understood some spy assassin type stuff
but didn't really know how to fill in

2774
02:52:50.879 --> 02:52:54.040
the gaps, so instead it's just
filled in by like gold Go thirteen,

2775
02:52:54.159 --> 02:52:58.399
walking looking tough. What was it? Yeah, okay, all right,

2776
02:53:00.399 --> 02:53:05.440
where where he shoots people and fucks
in the name. Yeah, okay,

2777
02:53:07.360 --> 02:53:09.719
you get all your health back?
Okay? Yeah? Really yeah, really

2778
02:53:11.600 --> 02:53:13.159
okay, Like a woman comes up
to him. It's a silhouette in the

2779
02:53:13.159 --> 02:53:16.479
window, and then you see the
room go dark and you know what's going

2780
02:53:16.559 --> 02:53:18.239
on. Okay, and then you
come back and you got all your health

2781
02:53:18.280 --> 02:53:22.159
back. It's like Sunset Writers pretty
much. Yeah. Yeah, it's a

2782
02:53:22.719 --> 02:53:26.440
whole bunch of fuck. It's not
a great game. There's all this first

2783
02:53:26.479 --> 02:53:30.559
person maze stuff and near the end
that is just terrible. I have no

2784
02:53:30.639 --> 02:53:35.159
idea what's going on that stuffs all. Yeah, it's yeah, you had

2785
02:53:35.200 --> 02:53:37.159
to really stick with it to even
get to that late game stuff. That

2786
02:53:37.239 --> 02:53:41.920
sucked. But it's it's a neat
ass game and he's an interesting character.

2787
02:53:41.959 --> 02:53:46.920
Anyway. That's gonna do it for
us here. Uh So next week,

uh four end of the year awards awarding

2797

things like best looking game, best
music, that kind of stuff. To

2798
02:54:33.319 --> 02:54:39.280
determine who won each of those things, which game, we sat in a

2799
02:54:39.360 --> 02:54:41.920
room and deliberated, yeah, and
we recorded that and that is what that

2800

podcast is for fucking hours. Yeah. Yeah. So if you if you

2801
02:54:48.559 --> 02:54:52.120
want to hear us deliberate that and
then decide which which wins what you listen

2802
02:54:52.159 --> 02:54:54.959
to the podcast. If you just
want to know, or if you are

2803
02:54:54.040 --> 02:54:58.200
have already listened to the podcast,
you can go read the article. If

2804
02:54:58.200 --> 02:55:03.760
you want to see those games and
some other stuff, you watch the video.

2805
02:55:03.879 --> 02:55:09.280
Yeah, some fun business in the
videos this year and yeah, so

2806
02:55:09.360 --> 02:55:13.760
it's kind of up to you,
the viewer, which order you want to

2807
02:55:13.799 --> 02:55:16.360
take that in. If you if
you want the deliberations to have surprises,

2808
02:55:16.440 --> 02:55:22.040
then then listen to the podcast first, because then you will listen to the

2809
02:55:22.079 --> 02:55:24.520
deliberations without knowing what one right,
the other two will tell you what one

2810
02:55:24.879 --> 02:55:28.559
or if you just want to watch
some stupid video, yeah, if you

2811
02:55:28.559 --> 02:55:30.319
just want to, then go,
okay, how did they get to that

2812
02:55:30.920 --> 02:55:33.840
conclusion? Yeah, then you can
back it out into the podcast. Yeah.

2813
02:55:35.000 --> 02:55:37.959
And then we'll have our individual top
ten lists going up on the site

2814
02:55:37.319 --> 02:55:41.799
as articles, and then we have
solicited a bunch of guest top ten lists

2815
02:55:41.559 --> 02:55:46.159
from various video game industry luminaries.
Those will be going up throughout the days

2816
02:55:46.479 --> 02:55:50.239
Monday through Friday, but our stuff
hits at nine am, so be sure

2817
02:55:50.280 --> 02:55:52.600
to check out that. They'll be
the coming soonbox on the right side of

2818
02:55:52.639 --> 02:55:56.159
the home page that'll kind of tell
you what's what's coming up next on that

2819
02:55:56.239 --> 02:56:01.200
stuff, and we'll have a hub
page that well theoretically show all this stuff

2820
02:56:01.239 --> 02:56:05.079
on it. I say that having
not actually seen the page yet, but

2821
02:56:05.360 --> 02:56:09.399
my understanding is that it's it's gonna
work, it's gonna work, and it's

2822
02:56:09.440 --> 02:56:11.959
coming along. Yeah. I have
faith. I didn't do it. I

2823
02:56:13.040 --> 02:56:16.799
don't know faith because I didn't do
it. I think it takes over the

2824
02:56:18.120 --> 02:56:20.239
home page. It should, it
should be replacing the home page. Yeah,

2825
02:56:20.840 --> 02:56:24.799
so it would be hard to miss
now is a good time to wonder

2826
02:56:24.879 --> 02:56:28.440
if the coming soon stuff is on
the hub page, because then if the

2827
02:56:28.479 --> 02:56:31.559
coming soon stuff is not on the
home page, we'll figure it out.

2828
02:56:31.559 --> 02:56:35.879
We'll figure it out. The nav
bar will still be there, I am

2829
02:56:35.000 --> 02:56:39.639
told. Okay, so you can
find other things on Giant Ponds, yes,

2830
02:56:39.719 --> 02:56:41.239
like yeah, he'll not let it
out. Yeah, you won't be

2831
02:56:41.360 --> 02:56:45.440
locked out of other stuff. But
yeah, so yeah, come back next

2832
02:56:45.479 --> 02:56:46.440
week for that stuff. And then
we've got some stuff going up this week.
