I write Bible erotic fiction all the time. Now the Bible and of itself
is erotic fiction. Several years later, she distanced herself from organized Christianity while
remaining devote to Jesus. She later considered herself a secular humanist. Okay,
so she's gone a long way. And hey everyone, welcome to gain Spot
After Dark, episode two hundred and forty six. I'm your host, John
Leaczepke, your most confident you've ever said it, Why curtain Divina, Greetings
and salitations. Happy to be here, Thanks for welcoming back. Lucy James,
Hi, I'm back and tomorrow he's saying, hello, It's been a
while since you two have been been very busy, been too busy, sure,
been doing a lot of trips for star players and then yeah, what
we did take my game first, taking, yeah, taking bathroom breaks,
just hanging out with my cats. No, I've just been traveling a lot.
It's been difficult, Like, yeah, I been very tired and back
and forth. Is that finally slowing down for you? We've got one more
to shoot, one more to shoot, and then travel wise, I've got
comic con and games calm, but they're kind of nicely spread out. Like
I'm not complaining because I'll love to travel, but it was it's very difficult
to sort of have a routine when you would go away for just twenty four
hours and then come back and you do laundry impact and yeah, but we'd
also but I mean, in your defense making star players like you basically lived
half your life in La Yeah, oh yeah, at the guy Fieri,
I think you go to flavor Town before you actually come back home to your
one because as I found out, that airport has two guys pizza. Well,
one has pizza, the one where you actually go and sit in because
there's one that's bar and girl, and there's one that's like kitchen and bar.
So Kitchen and Bar is the one that's also next to the pizza restaurant.
Okay, and that one has more tables, it's it's lighter, it's
area I believe that is Terminal A. And then the one that I frequented
is Terminal B. As a Terminal B flyer is the one who comes in
and out a Terminal B. Yeah. For those who don't know the Burbank
Airport, don't tell them. I'm not telling you. I'm not giving any
The only secret I'm telling them is that it has two guy Fietti for restaurants.
But uh, you know, if I go, is there more than
two terminals there? All I know is that if I go there, if
I don't go to the one, the one guy Fietti Like, yeah,
yeah, you're putting like that, because that's how you say it. Is
it Italian? What do you want? Yeah? Everyone says what did they
say? Fiery? Maybe that's just the British. I don't know. I
only learned this because I heard him. I heard him enough say his names.
I mean my convertible dimes. I saw him, Yeah, buzzed up
at the Bank Hotel. Hotel, Yeah he had it was back when it
was the ace still where his tips still frosted. They had been bleached.
Maybe that day, Yes, what he lost a lot? Wait, oh
god for him he stopped. Did he take a vacation from Flavor Town?
I hope not. I mean he's low cop Flavor Town. I don't know.
Yeah, anyways, well you lived at the airport. They knew who
I was the one point yeah one and then but then honestly, like the
trip between San Francisco and LA that flight is forty five minutes right, and
our office was, you know, like an hour's drive away, so I'd
always just kind of finished the shoot and end up there. And then one
day I got two hours two hours early and my flight ended up getting delayed
by like an extra two or three hours. Oh goodness, I've got a
free white wine that time, because very nice. But that's really why you
haven't been here, Yeah, because keep getting free white wines at the at
the Burbank Airport. Speaking of star players out now, yeah, yeah,
Monaghan, that's a monogam niche his voice so deep. Now, what the
hell that's what he sounds like. I'm not making sound like a goon.
Yeah. For for listeners, we've watched a new show last last week,
Uh, the Lucy James hosts and could intervena producers and I produce been working
on it for many, many many moons. Second episode, you've you've been
living in LA basically you've been like you've been hanging out with celebrities. Yeah,
but like you've been doing all the production stuff like talking to Hollywood sues,
sure, scheduling social cuts, like making sure everything steady hand on the
tilla. You've been great. Thank you, so, and I know that
it kills you inside, Totin, it does. It sucks. I wake
up in the morning, I say, if I hear Lucy compliments you meat
today, I'm gonna call with the guy Fieri restaurant. She's not she's she's
not allowed on. The producer of the show. The chair that was the
chair. Don't worry but yeah. Second episode came out this week Monday.
Dominic Mohanna is a planet zoof Mohan Monahan Monn sounded like you said, Mohan
here to play Planets Zoo. He loves Plant of Zoo. Oh my god,
I've never seen anyone light up as much. There is. There's two
moments during it, I don't know if it's in the actual episode, and
the raw footage of him just being like when you when you first bring it
up, He's like, it's just such a vibe. And then it comes
up again later where he's just like, you can't get over the vibe of
Planet Zoo, Like just the vibe of planet it was so infectious that I
bought planets just the most. Like every time I'm on this podcast is like,
what fucked up game are you playing? Kurt? Like what weird fucked
up dark shit or in this case, like no, I'm playing Titanic,
the Titanic point clicking game at a time, I'm becoming a different person.
I didn't put I haven't yet. You gotta pay five dollars for the rhinos.
That's the only thing I care. Yeah, that's right. Out's on
sale. So the African pack is five dollars. If I want, I
gotta buy it. All I said was I'm gonna play a Planet Zoo and
I'm gonna have two exhibits, right, rilla's yeah and rhinos. Right.
Everyone else could fuck off if they want to come to my zoo and if
they want anything, if they want to drink in the bathroom, there's a
go fucking to get out of here. Outside. You're here for rhinos and
gorillas. You can't get any of those. You have to pay for them
conservation credits. As I learned from Dominic Mohan Mohan, Well, no,
that's the thing because when he was explaining Domin Mohan was explaining about the game,
I didn't realize, like there's quite the economy in Planet Zoo. Not
only like not only take a year to get a tiger. Yes, not
only is the music incredible, but yeah, to get a tiger, it's
got to do a lot of conservation work in that game, uh, to
get one. But also when we were playing it, I know this didn't
make the final atit, but it was like I was just kind of thrown
in and I've never touched Planet Zoo and I was like, help me,
I don't know what any of these yea, for those who don't know,
we actually tried to have Lucy and Dominic play it together. Yeah. Oh
it's very great, it's very sweet. It just didn't It just didn't work,
but it would be great. You would need his save. I would
want to see him show off his Zoo. Yeah, yeah, next time
I them conservation credits. That's nice. I feel like they should add an
option though, where you like you could fast track it. But it's like
you send like a like a and you see a cut scene of them just
being horrible, and you feel bad for your choice, Like this is going
out into the get the rhinos, to pull the rhinos in. I would
I want to play a game where I fucking take those those those people out
the have to murder them. Yeah. I always when I was younger,
I always said because I used to care so much about gorillas. They didn't
know they're my favorite animals. I know, scene them out about them.
Yeah, I used to read books and books and books, and I used
to when I was younger. There's like young Kurt, I'd be like,
I have an idea for all the people who try to poach gorillas. I'm
going to make a gorilla suit. But each this is going to be a
gathering gun someone to when they try to take the gorillas, Like the fists
are going to come down, and then I'm going to start shoo everyone and
save the gorillas myself. One of my favorite childhood books was about gorillas,
although thinking about it now, it's actually a very very sad story where it's
about a girl whose dad doesn't do anything for her birthday and all she wants
to do is go to the zoo, but her dad, I think,
gets her a cuddly toy gorilla, and then in the middle of the night,
the gorilla toy becomes a real gorilla and takes her to the zoo.
And then and then that gorilla becomes her real father and kills her kills her
actual father, but then her dad, I think, has a change of
heart and does actually take her to the zoo. I think it's a happy
ending, but I just remember liking that book. I have a lot of
stuff gorillas for those of who don't know, so gorillas are a big deal
for me, kids, gorillas and rhinos, book about damn Honey for guerrillas.
I like gorillas. They're not my top five animal. I guess what
is your top five? I only have three really okay cats, crows,
and I was hoping it was yeah, raccoons, crocodiles, raccoons. Raccoons
are good. Raccoons are great. Racoons are great. I love them,
are great. Basically cats. Yeah, animal, never thought about it.
I mean, aesthetically very pleasing. A red panda. Yes, they're so
cute, red panda axel lotteles because they look so dumb. What the fuck
is you never seen an axle lottele. They're like they're like these like pink
little look unfinished. Yeah, yeah, they're they're like like render like they
haven't like popped into the environment. Like their skin is like somewhat like they're
pink, and they have like these weird little antennas and their their faces kind
of like a football shape. Oh, those little guys. Yeah, they
do look on fish. Yeah, they kind of look like they kind of
look like a like a cute germ. Yeah. I think they're really cute.
I think, but like, what are they an animal? Are they
like a what's a fish? Is it a salamanar lizard? Okay, go
a little smile just now, you know it's inside so cute. Inside.
It's like I'm forced to smile, but I know that I'm just an unfinished
creature in this one. Exactly. That's a different way of saying like born
to ship, forced to wipe. Yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly.
Anyway, this is also a video game podcast, video game It's okay,
Well, I mean that show Star Players is about video games, so we
got exactly. Damn. Yes, you haven't been here in a while.
You have reviewed a big game, one of the biggest games this year.
Yeah, would you still like to talk about I know you've probably said a
lot. I don't know what I could talk about at this point that I
probably hasn't been said, so hasn't been said yet. But the tam like
the words of Tam like you've heard my words are written form. Yeah,
we're talking about Riven by the way I should clarify Riven the greatest game of
the year. Yeah, I played the demo. I haven't. I played
a little bit of it. If it's the one I'm thinking of it,
like the myst like right, it's called the Sequels, I think I don't
maybe imagining it. You've seen my Dad's missed Rooms. I haven't seen the
room, but I would. I have seen the myster Room. It's pretty
good. But what is I mean if there's if there's a if there's a
sentence that you don't think has been said about elden Ring yet, what do
you want to say, or if a sentence that hasn't been said? Yeah,
because if eldon Ring was if the elden Ring DLC was an appetizer you
can order on a menu, yeah, but if I think it would be
like a blooming onion. No, it would be like a burger that's for
some reason on the appetizing menu and it's probably a mini burger yeah, and
it's a full burger. And then they're like, so you still want to
get the meal after and you're like, no, no, no, this
is way too big and this is an entire meal. That's that's why it
was Okay, that's a good comparison. Yeah, I like that, But
yeah, it's it's it's Eldon Ring, Like, what do you want to
know about it? You're still playing it. I'm still playing it. So
I did this thing where I left a few things unfinished on purpose so I
could do the review, wait a little while, and then come back to
it and know that I still have extra content to to go and see you
and do. So I've left one boss battle undone I got I finished yesterday,
getting all the shadow Tree fragments. Bually the boss is like, thank
god, don't like, don't fuck with me. I made it. Everyone
else's he has to watch all the other bosses who've been slain. He's just
like, they gotta been spared. Yeah, it's it's Bail the Dragon.
So I did it once and I almost got most of the way through,
and then it killed me at like half away point, and I was like,
I'm just gonna do this later. This is fun, so I'll come
back to this later. So I got all the shadow to fragments. I'm
like level twenty on that now. Now I'm thinking about getting the other ones.
But it's a bit tedious because I don't know which ones I have and
which ones I don't have, so I basically have to go to every single
location and check if it's there or not, which is a pain in the
ass. It doesn't do the thing where Elder Ring main game does, where
the Golden Seeds you need a certain amount to max out and there's always way
more than that, so you find them everywhere. They're like limited in supply.
So I maybe do that, or I might just beat the boss finally
and just call it a day. You know that's not the end though,
Yeah, I mean I'll still carry on playing it. I guess to a
degree someone's in a conversion of the game to turn it into an open world
Bloodborne game. I saw them that look crazy, so maybe I'll play that
afterwards, or I'm not doing a new game plus run there with my never
with my current character. Yeah. Someone did text me asking if I was
playing it, and I said no, I'm playing Riven Possible. But I
believe and I said this on last week's podcast, and I think the same
mentality can be applied from Soul's games to missed puzzle games. I think the
same I'm not gonna say all the listeners whill listen again. You're just gonna
have to indulge in my soapbox wisdom. But I feel like both of them
create the same sense of frustrate frustration, but just on two opposite ends of
the spectrum. Both of them require brain patience. Yeah, both games require
brain power. Absolutely. I'm sad they got rid of the f m V.
I think it looks genuinely better the f MV. I was like looking
at a comparison, And they keeped the voice acting for one one of the
actors because they died. That actors passed away, so they did honor that.
But one of the original brothers reprise their role. Okay and stuff,
But yeah, I know, fucking fucking down. Put the f m V
back in. You look fantastic back then. Even a miss three credible?
Was that? Uh? What was it udo or something? Miss? No?
What the hell was missed three calls? No? No, no,
no? You're thinking is four? You're thinking of Uru, which is the
missed online and the MO But I think it's also it's also a planet like
that you go to and missed three? Maybe is it the jungle planet?
Mystery is called exile, but it has bread multiple ages beyond Missed. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't remember if the planet one of the I
don't know what Missed is at this point. It's based on this selling PC
gave a whole time. Yes, I was seventh Guest, Eleventh Hour,
all of them are all those fantastic seventh hours. Great Cyan began began developing
Uru shortly after completing Riven uh And then there was a different game re released,
the multiplayer portion of Uru as Missed Online Uru Live in two thousand and
seven. So I remember buying a uh. Yes, I bought like a
collection that came with like all the miss games, you know, and it
came with Uru, and I was like, all right, let's see what
this is about. I remember like booting it up, logging in and it
was just an empty world and there were no players. Yeah, I don't
know how you make that work. And then I was like, well,
that's fine, let's do some puzzles or whatever. And I'm like walking around
and there was just nothing. I like genuinely like I don't know what that
game is or like how you played it, because I just remember being like
just wondering. I remember looking at a bodline like I have no idea what
that is. But Brad Duraff, the actor who off of Lord of the
Rings, Lord of the Rings, he's Brad dur D. How else Brad
Dwarf Dwarf ste He's also the voice of Chucky. But he's in the single
best, my personal number one favorite X Files episode. Oh yeah, episode
eight, season one, Beyond the Sea. That's a good one. He
is so fucking good in that episode. Brad Durff is like, if if
I see him in something, I know it's like he's gonna give like the
performance of a lifetime. He's thingy and dishonored as well. He's dishonored.
He's the guy. He's the guy who makes the like all the god what's
the character's name is? Like begins with the PA. He's the guy who
you meet at the at the pubs and he makes basically all the upgrades and
stuff. What the hell is his name? I don't know that was him.
I had no idea. It's amazing. And then of course he's in
the Exorcist three, which is low key, like one of my favoritees was
Piero, Oh Piero and Dishonored. Yeah, I think it's a round.
He's a great actum. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, TAMP should play bribon
the demo. The demo is big on next Fest, so you could.
I think it's still up mm hmm. I didn't have anything compelling about it.
Well we didn't. We didn't talk about it. We didn't talk about
it. It was just like missed Puzzles Guests they got a VR version which
I still have not played, and v R. I got a VR remake
and it uses f m V actors film them like the VR that sounds incredible,
which no, is it? Guest is on switch, not the new
one, not the remake. I think it is holy ship? What am
I doing with my Why would they release the old one? I mean,
I think that's fine, really remaster, but uh, eleven hours on the
eleven hours is not so great. Yes, but I've been on such an
FMV. We have a copy of eleventh Hour in the library. I know,
it's a really nice copy. Yeah, it's like eleven discs. No,
Like we've been talking about actors in FMV games at least I have because
Franken so like, there's a Frankenstein point click adventure game for the nineties at
Tim Curry plays Frankenstein in Amazing. I learned recently that Jeff Goldbloom plays Dracula
and the Goosebumps Horrorland nineteen nineties PC game. Then there's also Ripper, which
has both Christopher Walking and Paul Giamani. Christopher Walking plays a cop and just
do it as best cops horrible, it's so bad, so good, and
then Paul Giamani is like a mortician. Yeah, oh my god. Then
Black Dahlia has done us Hopper in it, and I was just like all
these fucking games from the nineties that no one cared about. And then I
was saying, over the weekend, I just randomly put on a compilation of
every FMV cut scene from a Command and conquer Red Alert three and just let
that run and was like, Oh, this is because that's got not only
Tim Curry, it's got Christopher Lloyd, It's got Christopher Lloyd Brown, It's
got George in it, like it's star studded cast, and everyone's like,
oh, games have finally made it. We have Norman Ritas, we have
Keanu Reeves. Yeah, we've been there for like John hurt Is in Tender
Loving Care. Everyone forgets about that one. Wow. He plays a very
he plays a very intense therapist who asks you, the player, extremely personal
questions about yourself. Back and my god Win commander four. Yeah, anyways,
now we're just listening. We know actors Dominic Monaghan, who is in
Break. He's a Nazi commander in real war. Yeah, I know that
I watched. Now we know who's watched the Star Players episode and who hasn't.
He was the voice of Mary in a Lord of the Rings game,
one of the games which one he did a he did voice. I work
for it, but it's literally just him going that's great. I think it
was. I think it was, yeah, because he's the he's the likest
one where they got a lot of them. Is the Lost Game? No,
don't believe. So what's the Lost Game? Like, oh my god,
it's terrible like Lost via Dormis? Did I have a character in there
that then later showed up in the show. Really do they pull? They
pulled like an enter the Matrix situation, or maybe I'm confusing matrix might be
matrix maybe made just confuse that whole thing. Wait a minute, So what
kind of game is the Lost Game? It's like a not open world but
it's like a state. I think it's like an exploration shooter. I remember,
Yeah, you hide from the smoke monster. Yeah, points you take
pictures. I think I don't remember. Sounds like after like twenty minutes.
Yeah, this sucks on Netflix. It's a brand new character. Yeah.
Yeah, you play as a random person in the front of the plane.
Here's what I know about Lost. There's a there's a there's a smoke monster
in Lost. Lost, there's a there's a hatch yep. Is there a
polar bear? Yes? Okay, Wow, that's three things. Wow.
And then uh Weezler made a whole album with Hurley they did. I forget
that was the thing. Yeah, that was weird. It was the best
character in it. Also, I don't know anything about Loss. I just
remember watching my father watch it, and I remember every single week it looking
like this the last episode, Like every episode looked like the same episode to
me, where they're like, oh look, yeah they're lost again, but
I mean lost multiple times, lost once, and they remain lost, so
there's still lost like seasons. But that show has this is the actor episode
apparently of our podcast. But that show has Teio Quinn yep, who's one
of my favorite John Locke, who's also in like six episodes of X Files
as a different character every episode and in the movie as a different character,
but he looks the same that he never put that together, and he looks
the exact same in every single episode. And then he was in the spin
off X File show Millennium, Oh Yeah, where he looked the exact same
but actually played a consistent character the entire time. Actors continuing to get work.
And then he's on a great horror movie who or movie called Stepfather that
I think is like, very very great, where he plays a murderer who
murders who key weasels his way into a family, gets married and then murders
them and then goes to the next family. That just seems like a lot
of effort he does it. Speaking of TV shows, murder, I die
yet, Okay. I finished interview with The Vampire season two this week.
It is the best thing TV. I loved it so much. They've deviated
from the books quite a bit. I believe they've made some very small changes,
but it's basically just like season one. I always said was kind of
fanfic in a way, but like with the utmost respect like it was really
good, really good, Like it just it felt like it came from people
who just understood the source material so much under the characters in season two with
it being more about Louis and Armand instead of Louis and Lstat so like Lestat's
not in it for a lot of this season, so every time he does
turn up, you really can't take your eyes off him. Like Sam Reid
is the perfect listart and so this season it's that they Season one ends with
them leaving Lastarte behind in New Orleans. Season two is Claudia and Louis at
the end of the war basically trying to find other vampires and then they find
the Paris Coven and get involved with that, and it's just so good.
Did the show? Did the show come out while Anne Rice was still alive
or was? Believe she's listed as an exec producer along with her son.
I don't think she might have seen like early episodes, but yeah, she
definitely died before season two even started filming. Season three, it has been
renewed for and they are doing in like Queen of the Dant Like literally there's
a point where goes I'm going on tour, so I think, he says,
I think they said it as a joke because season two wraps up very
much in a way where it's like a show that doesn't think is getting renewed.
Okay, sure, usually kind of, I think the way I think
most TV shows. But the thing is is that like everything wraps up,
but there are still things left to be explored, right, No, it's
great. It's like everyone in the show because there's a guy who played If
you watched House of CODs, guy played the photographer. He plays Santiago,
who's like the lead actor, and he's so over the top and so devious
and spiteful, but he's like everyone's just chewing the scenery the whole time.
It's great. I loved it so much and I really struggle to watch him
keep my attention with TV shows, but it was fantastic. I recommend it
to any lovely. Meanwhile, John Luke's just living the vampire fantasy of v
rising. Did you kill Dracolia? Not yet or close? You're letting that
ride out. It's gotten a little so we have like we have to kill
the three remaining bosses before Dracula. We made the key that lets you get
into his castle. Because you actually have to like craft a thing or like
there's a barrier that prevents you from getting worse. So we could technically go
fight him if we want, but we would die horribly because we're we still
got to grind out, Like that last little bit of material fires. What's
the rush? Yeah? Is that a lucy joint? Is he rising like
a like a I loaded it when it first came on piece? I mean,
do you like that kind of like crafting loop. Then it's not for
you. But isn't it like the sims call into it? Hello? No,
No, No, it's there's the sims already, like the base building
part where you're like building your vampire base, but that's all tied so heavily
into the crafting part. That right, Because every time you talk about the
only thing, I start to fall asleep until you talk about like the wallpaper,
and then I'm like, now we're talking like, well, I want
to know you know what kind of orient you know what kind of rugs we
can get in this joint, kind of crested door knobs we can have,
or in my case, if I made a vampire house, it'd be a
fucking ship hole and I would want no one to come on my property.
It would be the most boring vampire on the planet. But that's when I
was like, this sounds like there's some sims like sims Jason. No,
I mean, by the way, you don't make me fall asleep the game.
Oh the game does. It's just what you're talking about. I'm just
like, that's what you're talking about for you, Yeah, vampires whatever.
And then all of a sudden you're like, I put a new chair in
the corner, and it's like, tell me more. That's when I want
to know something. But yeah, no, nothing to report. They just
added yet polyamory. Oh they did. That's right, is that? And
you can have vampires in the sims for so you could just you could make
a coven. Yeah. But like the thing is, I want to be
a boring person in a game that's not meant to be boring. Well,
no game strives to be boring, I don't think so. Like what I'm
saying is like I want to like be in v Rising basically, like want
to play stuff wrong. I just want to be the most boring like I
have, like you know that I want to live you know, the power
fantasy that I want to I want to fulfill just being a guy because I'm
so cool, so like real life, okay, like you, I could
kick higher in real life that I probably most of the characters I play in
games, unless it's like Banta, I'm picturing like a what's your point of
me? Then picture game to you it's alan Wick two. But you play
as like one of the people at the diner who just sits there and drinks
coffee. That damn that would be. And then just like if I'm just
sitting there and shows up and she starts questioning the person next, she doesn't
question you next to you, and you can like eavesdrop for a minute.
That sounds crazy guys in town. Yeah, and then I just get to
watch that. Maybe maybe she accidentally like bumps into you, but that's your
yea. You see them drive in and out, they're going in and you're
like, I'm just there there for the town gossip, just to absorb at
all. Yeah, there should be a game where you just are that person
you listen to gossip. Well that's what I thought. So like the game
Lake or whatever, the one we make big legacies. The no the male
woman right ended up hating that game but that was but that was like my
dream scenario where was like, oh my god, if I can just this,
I could be a I can be a creep That's Tom the post girl
though it's it was a day of the devs where you're used to deliver posting
that creepy ass town. I do want that game. I do want to
play that demos a good crush House as well. Yeah, crush House,
crush House. Yeah, he plays like a nineties MTV reality TV producers,
So I'm losing out on them. Yeah you got there was a whole niche
that you Uh yeah, well, I mean I'm there's I'm entering a new
chapter of my gaming life currently, so and trying. Oh yeah, no,
I'm if anything, I'm doing that, I'm doing great. Yeah what's
now there's because you're PC game Oh yeah, welcome. Yeah. I mean,
so I grew up as a PC gamer, but then like, I
took a break for ten years and now I'm back. Honestly a lot but
there's a lot of but there's a lot of there's a lot of genres that
I used to be obsessed with when I was younger that I just kind of
like fell by the wayside and now I was gonna say, you like missed
the dark Age for all those genres have disappeared because publishers are like, no
one wants to play these games exactly now, and I'm coming back found their
niches, their audiences, and because of Dominic, I didn't actually start with
a plan A Zoo when it came to me legends, I was like watching
Dom's enthusiasm for like sim building and like this sort of thing is like I
used to be into this, but I don't want I've had my time with
the sims. I've had my time with these nice games. I wanted like
a strategy game, so I got frost Punk. Okay, fucking obsessed with
it. I need to add that to my wish lessn It's only like three
dollars right now, and I can't. You can't buy through the Steam app
though you can, can you? Yeah? I do think it's been a
problem for me because this new life of that I'm living. Shoot you can,
and You're like, I can just buy it, I can tell my
computer to it. I haven't. I haven't paid five dollars for the African
Rhino pack for Planning Zoo yet because I'm trying to stop. Once you do
that, that's whats are open. I know it's awful codes on them.
That's the thing that's a difference me who has the by games? Okay,
No, I was gonna say on my wish list, how do you feel
about like farming sims? It's been a long I don't know, because there
is a new one coming out called like hell oh all hell No farm Fields
of Mystery, Fields of Mysts, which looks like a nineties anime but it's
basically stars you. Oh yeah, it does look like it could be like
a Turbographics sixteen bits maple story A little bit, yeah, a little bit,
ye yeah, this is not this is not doing it for you.
What about that upcoming one that Blumhouse is working on where but also murders are
happening, So it's like, yes, I mean it's kind of ear.
We're like literally like you're running a farm. But then I'm paying attention to
whatever Blomhouse is doing in the back round murders happen. I think I think
eventually have to solve the murder. I'm interested just to see what they want
to put their fingerprints on. So on principal be like yeah, whatever,
even if I'm not into it, probably on principle, be like, I
want to know curate Grave seasons, Brave seasons. Great name, that's that
is a great name. So yeah, I want, I want, Like
frost Punk is itching something for me. We're like, also, this is
an important part for frost Punks. I think scratching. Huh, itching,
scratching? Jingle? What? What what did you say? Scratching? Well,
itching, itching or scratching something? Well, it's itching and scratch.
Oh it's like it's itching and scratching. Okay, so scratch. Can we
can we come back to why did you say jingle? Damn said you just
jingle? I said jingle? Shingles? Shingles? It was like shingles.
That was I mean like ice anyways? Uh whoa shingles? No, probably
shouldn't scratch that. I'm probably not going to touch my shingles. So it's
switching and scratching. So what do you what? What's the proper term?
Scratch? Chick? You scratch an it? So it's scratching before it gets
to the scratching part. The key component that makes Crosspunk really good because the
soundtrack the game is so fucking depressing. It is so dire. Soundtrack only
like amplifies that by a hundred to the point where I was like this.
I was like, the soundtrack is like making me depressed just playing it.
Like everyone's like, oh I lost another limb, oh we had to eat
saw dust. Now, oh, I can't believe you made the children go
to work and now there's child labor. And I'm like, I built you.
I build you a fighting arena and a bar, and you want to
why is your discontent so high? All right, it's a fantastic game.
But here's the key thing. I turned off the soundtrack and instead I play
the sim soundtrack, so I play like low like bost buston Nova beats while
playing frost Punk, and it's infinitely better. Well, like it's already great
boy, Oh okay, you're gonna have a great time with it. I
can't wait to hear whether or not you choose faith, the spiritual path or
the order path because I fucked my game up so hard the first time by
trying to. I didn't want it. I was like, I don't want
I don't want some religious, crazy cult talents I had everyone like trying I
built like prisons and guard towers. That shit did not go well, Oh
well, I will report back. I have just boy, I just boy.
The game is not very long. If you're I mean like, you're
probably gonna have to do more than I would be shocked if you can like
have a healthy, thriving city even Oh my god, no, I need
to take our conversation back like ten minutes because I just look at my Steam
library. A game where you do mundane things but you listen to gossip.
You should play this bed we made. I played the demo and it was
rough at the time I played it. Played the whole thing a couple of
weekends ago, and I really enjoyed it. So I was, so,
what is this. You play as a maid in a nineteen fifty hotel and
there's a moth in here and someone where did I come from? This is
a closed environment, there's not even a window in this room, and then
you basically get hold in for questioning at the beginning of the game because someone
got murdered and you you go through people stuff. I played the demo and
I was like, this is all This is a Kurt shit to the end
degree. But I remember just being like a little jankie and I remember some
of the writing be a little dodgy for like one bit, so I was
like, oh wait, but Lucy like flailed her. I loved it,
exploded, finished it in like three four hours. Oh so all right,
Yeah, I wish listened it. Okay, give me more mundane sneaking gossip
ship, but yeah, frost Punk, I would highly recommend just doing child
labor. I think it's going to solve a lot of problems. But well,
you know, you can figure it out. We'll just called that out
real quick. It will solve so many And there's two factors of it.
You can you can do child labor. You have them work in like in
like non harmful ands, okay, in the kitchen, so you can do
that. There are still many hazards in the kitchen. Yeah, but what's
even worse is you can choose the hazards that make child labor an issue.
What hazards do or don't? You said, you put them in an environment
where it's no hazards. Well, where there's where it's not like where so
the other again children to do work for the other side of that, you
should play a frost punk and come back to me because I played a cross
punk because the first time, my first play through, I was like,
I learned that people please are part of myself. Does not because I try
to help? Oh it doesn't, doesn't. I'm gonna eat everyone's house.
Everyone's house. The kids are never gonna work. It did not pan on
child, so hang on. So there's the hazardous play, there's the non
hazardous one. Well, there's a kitchen, kitchen. What's the other one?
You make them go work in the coal mines, steal mins. I
mean I didn't do that. That's good for your children. I mean,
hey, I'm from the northeast of England and children definitely did work. But
what it's worth, My hope meter is all the way up, My discontent
is all the way down. The kids are having a good time. I
just got to prepare for the store and that's coming, so I don't know
how that's going to I'm watching watching a bunch of like history documentaries and there's
a there's a history hit has great ones where it's like, what what would
your life be like if you were a Victorian child working in the factories,
And I'm like, I don't know, tell me, and then they go
to like all these factories and they show all the machines and stuff, and
it's like people just used to lose arms because they would just go in.
Like that's why they hired kids because they were so small there. I had
a job when I was fourteen what working in the Victorian Victorian Victorian cotton mills
now as a bus boy, picking up dishes, doing dishes in the back,
delivering bread the tables. Oh oh, okay, you're just saying you
have a job in general, not that you have like a dangerous job,
because I also have a job at fourteen. Oh yeah. It was a
receptionist, a very to stick my arm into a toaster or anything like that.
I got yelled at by a murderer, murderer, convicted, convicted before
I well, he was calling from prison, Jesus what. I worked at
a law firm on the reception okay, And I say, okay, whoa.
Yeah, I really had to bury I kind of lay the groundwork for
that one. But yeah, that was my hazard. But then apparently he
was just annoyed because they owed him some paperwork or something. I see it
was over fifteen years ago. To kill you my paperwork? I was like,
it is my second day, jeez, Louise. Yeah, well,
Frostbug is a safe place to play. It's just you know, it made
me feel safe playing it, knowing that not leading a village of people into
a ever winter. They're British, by the way. Oh she's love with
that. Yeah, I'm playing Dragon Age Inquisition again, and I've forgotten that,
like just a nice way that the Inquisition helps people by earning power and
then oh, I will build these watch towers for you. I'll search for
things to get you better weapons, like this incremental improvement I am. There
is apparently a mod hello that removes all the timers on the war tape.
Oh my god, I'm getting that. So I will send you because it's
a real world dimond like it's it was their way of being like and you'll
have to keep coming back, but you're just sitting there being like I just
want to keep playing the game. I'll go back to the hinterlands again.
Yeah, there is. I found a thread of someone who is like,
here's how to get rid of all the timers. Here's how to get rid
of all of like the like grindy requirement stuff. So just like removes all
of the grind from that game beautiful. So I'm just going to send you
that because I was like, if I get if I do eventually get you
in position, we'll see how that goes. Because you're trying to get through
the Origins. I saw. I saw I was reading a threat because I
was like, I was trying to play them on my Steam deck and everyone's
like, don't do it. But everyone just said for Origins, just go
on game Pass and just get the I would just get the console one because
I never played the console version, but I know it was like, you
know, ported by a different studio, that game was designed for PCs,
probably not the idea. It was fine. I'm sure it was fine,
and I might end up doing that because last time I mentioned, oh,
I'm playing Origins and I'm having a great time. When I tried to load
it up again, it just crashes every time I load my save up,
and it was super cool, and I found apparently that's a non issue.
They're like, yeah, you just have to turn your graphic settings all the
way down and then you can turn them back up after And it might be
related to this one area I'm in, but it might not. It might
just happen constantly and I was like that, Wow, I didn't even get
to fix that because I figured because I'd also had mods on at the time.
I was like, oh, maybe my mods messed everything up, uninstalled
the game, reinstalled it, and then the game says you can't load up
your save because none of the DLC is installed, and I was like,
what are you talking about? But I have the Ultimate Edition. It just
automatically installs all the DLC. It's what it did last time. What do
you mean I don't have the DLC and like, you don't have it,
you need to install it, and there's no option. It's just supposed to
install it all. So I have no idea what to do. A sometimes
you put in are we put in like three four hours? Okay? Yeah?
But big? How long as Inquisition in forty? Yeah? I mean
to be fairy, it's not ninety. It's like ninety if you do everything.
But it's just it's a big game. But maybe I'll just I don't
know, I'd like to do it because I still love that one, but
maybe I'll skip the two I love to. So what it's so it's dragging,
so it's origins to and then what position and then Inquisition has delC Equal,
Trespassive and since ten years Shnikys. Okay, all the DLC, all
those games are great. I was working at game Stop when Inquisition came out.
I was working here it came out. Wow, No, it's just
been a very long time, and I wanted to read get back into the
group. Yeah, it's kind of a weird one because I was thinking about
it, like compared to boulders Gate, where it's like a standalone thing,
Like you don't really have to play boulders Gate one in two to understand Bolderskate
three. This one, I feel like they have like I'm sure they're gonna
try and make it as I mean as possible, but it's like it is
a direct sequel two AA game that is a decade old, so there is
like a little bit of a barrier I feel like to fully appreciating everything that's
going on in that new one. They did make a mobile game. I
thought I imagined that, but yeah, Legends in a mobile game. They
made a whole website so that you could keep keep it for your save m
h. I think it's still up Like Inquisition keeps saying like do you want
to import a world save? From Key. It better be, because otherwise
there's no way to bring your save into three from one. Yeah. Oh,
but also you know, I assume the Inquisitive, the Herald of Undressed
is going to be they have they have to affirm that your inquisertor will show
up in Vail Guard. So yeah, damn, okay, I'm very happy
that I made a replaying. Yeah, but they said you don't need Keep
to bring it in. I don't know how they're gonna do. They should
just I'll stell this the other day. They just need to get someone to
come in and just like Mass Effect legendary edition style, just like put them
all together, make them all work, and make it so that it just
goes from the saves, just carry and there's none of this weird, Like,
well, I can carry my save from one to two, but then
I can't carry from tuned inquisitions, so I have to go to KEEP and
I have to click through all my choices. To be fair, the website
is very nice, the art is beautiful, but it is like weird that
you have to do that to then get an inquisition and then I don't even
know how you're going to bring it into Vailguard where's my wish? Can I
find my wish list on Steam? Because there was a mass effect mod that
came We've built in the Steam app. In this the Steam app, This
episode brought to you by Steam. You can buy your games in app.
And it's a problem. That's the thing. That's how they get you.
They make you, uh get the app just for the extra security and authenticator,
and they the way. I definitely bought a thing or two while I
was taking a dump. So are you saying time? I was gonna say
Dragon Ages on Mac as well somehow really interesting. I don't think you can
buy it, but it might be out there if you want to. It
just exists, acquire it. I don't have a Mac though. It sucks
because like I would like to, I would like to. So I've never
played a dragon Age game, but I would like to play origins. I
think that's the way I would probably like the most. If I'm but like
I'm ex communicanto with my consoles at the moment, and like I cancel the
option. I canceled it, cancel all of it. But the piece of
game pass would just be the piece of Yeah, so it's just like uh,
And also PC Xbox games like run even worse typically than Steam versions,
so I would not trust that version to run well, I think. But
yeah, that sucks. You're in the same boat as me where I'm like,
what do I do? Poop? I don't know. It's a shame.
I love I love that first game. Oh Morgan, m hmmm,
Claudia Black, isn't it here we go? How many more actors come on
in Dragon Age? Let's just start to give Prince Jr. He Iron in
Inquisition? Is Iron Bowl going to be a returning character? I wish?
I love? What is his name? Prince pretty Fish Junior called pretty fresh,
pretty fresh fresh, pretty fresh, pretty fresh? I mean Dragon Age?
What do you want? Mass Effect has a really really like my James
Martin Sheen, Yeah, man in two and three Von Schahowsky. You've got
Seth Green the he's this guy in Dragoning. Yeah, that's Freddy Fresh.
That's fresh. I've seen that guy before. Yeah, yeah, I hope
he actually sounds like, Yeah, I'm pretty fresh. What do you want?
A really deep voice? Yeah, he's although this time around, I'm
an elf and I'm gonna try in romance. So let's just sew it.
I heard I've heard from people that the additional context you get from him as
elf romance is like they reveal a lot, Like I heard it's like worth
doing that route specifically because he says some real, real important ship to you.
That's like, Oh, he's also like he doesn't date the humans or
the Canari. My kind of guy. The only dates the el dates.
If you play enough, my question is, can you hold anyone's hand?
This is my biggest problem. Simon Templeman was an inquisition who was that he's
the voice of Kine and that is like a video game. It's no myth,
it's a way of life. It's a it's a spirituality. At this
point, No, like, I just because like if you want fable,
yeah, I wasn't really like I was like I didn't want to do anything.
I didn't want to romance anyone except for Withers, and I know that's
like fucked up for a lot of reasons. So instead I just wanted the
option to hold his hand. Can we commission like a mod for you?
I'm not gonna play it. I'm not gonna finish my play through unless I
could, like maybe I will just go to the camp and just but that's
what I'm saying. I want to banish everyone, make the mod and load
the game up. You hold hands and then close it and then you delete
your save and that yeah no, I mean yeah, or just you just
let it live there, like you know, because like I haven't. I
have a Skyrim save that I'm now not returning to because I wanted to be
like loaded up once a year and like they're still holding hands and then you
can be like there they are Skyrim vill yeah again. Yeah, but you
know, I just you know, all this game is all about like,
oh, you could fuck this guy and then they don't you but they don't
do humans. And if you're an elf, can I just like they have
like a cup of coffee with them and hold their hands maybe even like you
know, since time, I feel like a lot of the moments in Dragon
Age are more about like little moments. They're not about not just about the
the sex and yeah and in Veil God, everyone is pan so you can
date her and there's no pressure, but they might start dating each other.
Wait can that happen? Yeah? Whoa mass effect? Oh yeah, if
you don't pick one of them, Garrison is going to be in about someone
like tweeted that to me and I was like, thank you for this precious
knowledge. Oh right, because of our it's like but not actually does take
place in a pillows the mascough, I mean it's kind of our wild world
was similar to massfect in some ways. Yeah. Anyway, my dude's a
good voice actor. You should have been smarting stuff. Elen Noir. Uh
he's heyesus and walking down season three. He's in the Division is Isaac.
He's in the HBO mini series The Pacific Jesus. Yes, this is just
five degrees gets like he gets like cocked by one of the main characters or
something. He's in Penn fifteen, that Hulu Coming of Age I was on
I like three. My favorite random Garrison voice actor moment is do you remember
the old Super Bowl Budweiser commercial with the magic fridge? Oh no, the
magic fridge, the magic fridge commercial. Do you know? Actually I hate
that I remember this, but yes, So there's this commercial where this guy's
like, dude, check it out. He like has his fridge and he
like hits a button and like the normal fridge like rotates, huh and it
turns into this like Budwiser fridge and it's like the idea is like all the
wifes couldn't by like click, and then but then it cuts to it like
pans over and there's the apartment on the other side, and it's all these
like frat bros. And they're like, guys, the magic fridge is back,
and they like run in and like grab as many beers as they can.
But the guy who is like, uh, the friend of show who's
being shown the fridge is the voice of Garrison. Dude, you're a genius.
And I just hear Garris's voice say that is the weirdest random factory that
lives in my brain what I had intall. I don't think we had this
in the UK. Dude, you're a genius, like someone into mass effect.
Every single response you just get. What are all the comments? I
don't think anyone has cloked. It was a very very famous commercial. One
person said, Garris drinks bud light. Of course he does. He's after
his calibration. Yeah, he's just hanging out calibrating drinking bud lights. I
do think it's quite funny that someone a year ago, but this is really
fratty and out of touch humor twenty years old, so I come it that's
because it's from seventeen years ago. Yeah, exactly. I will say.
The only voice actor that I don't know the name of, but I hear
their voice because they're in Skyrim and they voiced like ten hundred characters. But
I always used to hear him, like, dude, this guy sounds just
like Tigger from Wine of the poohs Oh Jim Cummings, because I was like,
what God it is Jim coming, He's Winny the Poos. Well,
look I got in Kingdom Pots. Seriously again, that's oh yeah, what
was a uh? Goofy's voice actor was in a different Oh he Goofy's voice
actor is Sam in the Salmon Max at the Road games in the nineties.
Well that makes sense. That checks out. You can you can hear that,
You can hear a little bit of the Goofy. All right, I
think that's probably going to do it for this score, I mean, for
what it's worth. We talked about talked about a bunch of games. We
talked about in games. Yeah, we talked about actors playing games. I
want your child labor update what oh? Next time that I was like,
my cats like my nieces, like what you got those cats working in the
mind or working in the kitchen, Lucy, Well, no, this morning,
I get wait, I got woken up by Jelly just like jumping on
me from the my window ledge. But she's just like, oh I've had
that happen before. What a way to wake up? Yeah, Lilly used
to be really going to punch me right in the crotch. Well, hell
yeah her, Oh koco's great, she's chilling out. She's enjoying the heat.
Oh, okay, enjoying it. Yeah, she loves the heat.
I love heat. Laying around to enjoy this at all. Hellas and started

trying to hunt. Stay a little cool. I've been putting ice cubes in
the water bowls and Megaan is already sixteen pounds, So she's got a lot
of her. That baked potato a girl, Yeah, peanuts the same.

cream on her. All right, okay, all right, Lucy, Hi,

I love this episode so much, very exciting, even if I'm the only
one who likes it. It's not just because she mentions missed mm hmm,
but she talks about mass effect and it's fantastic. She's great. Spoilers,
