fortune teller told me it would be
Yep. She was like really specific,

36
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.120

37
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.800
it's gonna happen. Trust me.
There will be a jet plane and

38
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.000

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.520
it's kind of a mess with packing, Like I don't know what to do.

40
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.199
Really. I tell myself, I'm
gonna pack like four days in advance

41
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.599
and less than that now till we
leave. And I haven't really done anything.

42
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.719
I have like seven lists in eight
rooms of my house, and I'm

43
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:36.599

63
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.000
days you're going one for each day
and then just one extra just in case.

64
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.600
And then it's like how many different
variety of right do I bring?

65
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.040
Hey, it's just thought about loads

66
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.160

do you think they provide those? Were

it's gonna be fun. SPF is a

68
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.360
relevant topic. I'll bring I'll be
bringing more than any human could possibly need.

69
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.079
Although I look, I did a
little bit of research and one of

70
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.680
the places I'm going, I'm going
to a couple of places. One of

71
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.600
the places I'm going has like this
thing where you stand in a device and

72
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:33.920
you just like don't move and various
sprays like lather you in sunscreen. It's

73
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:40.240
like has Matt Decontaminators? Are you
going to hedonism too in Jamaica? Where

74
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.319
what are you doing here? No, I'm going to like I'm going to

75
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:49.600
one tropical place and then one American
place in the most American ass place.

76
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.560
Are you going to like the Olive
Garden in Times Square and then not the

77
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:01.600
Circle of Hell? Yeah? So
so that so like, but I when

78
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.879
I'm on the beach, I wear
pretty much long sleeves and everything, so

79
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.560
maybe that's not gonna just getting sunscreen
all over my clothes. There's a resort

80
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.920
and you make it called he hedonism
too. I don't think there's a hedonism

81
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.680
one. Yeah. I really like
it when there's like places that are named

82
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:25.120
as sequels. Anytime there's a bar
that's like yeah right, yeah here,

83
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:30.720
Yeah, My favorite tak area in
Oakland, uh is called El Paisa at

84
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.920
dot com. There's no website,
but it's like at sign dot com.

85
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.680
It's great. That rules. Oh
my god, I just wanted there.

86
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.360
So we're gonna get the tech bros
in on with this. We just put

87
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.399
some some stuff they say all the
time, and we'll trick them into come

88
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.759
and getting our tacareas. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Uh. I just

89
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.120
want to put it out there because
I saw it in the YouTube chat there.

90
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.600
I am not going on a fucking
cruise. I am not a psychopath.

91
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.600
Okay, I'm sorry. I want
don't want to cruise. You cruise

92
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.839
people will enjoy your fucking jail on
the seas and just do whatever anything is

93
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.319
there. It's like you're you live
on a mall. You live on a

94
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.199
mall on water. That sounds great, look the old. I've been on

95
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.399
two cruises and they're both in the
worst experiences of my life. The only

96
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.399
time I would maybe think about going
on another cruise is like maybe up to

97
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:25.360
like Alaska where it's like super cold
and everyone there is just like, I

98
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.600
don't know, I feel like they're
more normal than than the hot cruise people.

99
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.439
But I don't know. It's just
because like like you can definitely get

100
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.800
like norovirus is just gonna be like, dude, you are getting something horrific,

101
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:43.480
and all sixty thousand of you are
stuck on this floating hotel. You're

102
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.600
like, it doesn't make sense anywhere, not on paper, not in a

103
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.639
fantasy. It's insane. It's insane. It sucks. Thank you everyone in

104
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.319
Chad grees. I'm glad that there's
an unanimous feeling about cruiser. You know,

105
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.920
you're you're pulling a dan By by
gaslighting the audio listeners, right,

106
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.959
I'm sorry. Cruise cruise hate is
like the safest gas lighting you can do,

107
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.360
because it is not like a fifty
fifty. It is like a ninety

108
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:13.839
ten in favor of hating on cruises
because they're so insane. Were cruise in

109
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:20.360
March on a cruise, my dad
wanted to spend his birthday with Captain Mickey,

110
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.600
so we did. Oh that's adorable, shouts out, yeah. Would

111
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.759
you say no to him backlar if
he was like, come with me on

112
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.199
this cruise. I want to see
Captain Mickey on my birthday. Would you

113
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.200
really look that man in the eyes
and say no? Fuck cruises. I

114
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.240
wouldn't say fun cruises. I would
just be like, I'm not joining you

115
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.039
on this vacation. Thank you for
the invite. You were close like that.

116
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.120
I don't think I've ever hurtful.
I don't think i've ever met him,

117
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.559
actually, but you've received an email
from him before. I'm sure I've

118
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.799
gotten the corresponding emails from death through
electronic mail. I'm sure can't be.

119
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.960
It can't be on an episode of
this up bringing him up, but he

120
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.120
comes up a lot. It's not
my fault. Yeah, I got two

121
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.159
emails from him the other day.
I was like, yeah, he's just

122
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.679
there in the top of everyone's mind. Yes, exactly, top of mind

123
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.159
all the time. I want to
give a special special shout out preemptively to

124
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.159
the shout out section. Also,
hey, new rules, because you jerks

125
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.279
just like just fudge everything up,
just ruin everything. We're only okay,

126
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.240
the shoutouts will start as soon as
email segment starts. But we're only going

127
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.720
to fifty, So squabble amongst yourselves, all right. Whenever we get to

128
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.559
fit hard cut off at fifty okay, you guys will fight until then,

129
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.759
but anyway, brawl in there as
you are as you're reading it, there's

130
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.399
gonna be a brawl to be the
top fifty. Uh. Special shout outs

131
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.960
to the newlyweds, im run and
rep lovely wedding. What a great wedding.

132
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.600
Congratulations game a king and a prom
King and queen. Absolutely yes,

133
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.440
congratulations to them both. Uh,
how do we feel about anyone else?

134
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.320
Got some random jazz to talk about
or get off their chests? You want

135
00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:00.360
the cruised pole report? All right? Yeah, I kind of fifteen?

136
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.159
Okay, overwhelming? That's what a
goddamn landslide. What a goddamn landslide?

137
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:11.039
Okay, how many people a landslide
is? Yeah, that's considered a landslide

138
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.759
for sure. Yeah, it gives
more than twice either, Okay, how

139
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.240
many cruises that voted on? This
is what i'd be because I mean,

140
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.440
to me, it's like the idea
of going on a cruise. It's like

141
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.919
maybe like twenty percent of people ever
go on a cruise. I've never been.

142
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.960
Go go No, I don't.
I don't want to. I don't.

143
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.919
Yeah, of course we're going to
go on a cruise. Well,

144
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.759
I don't want to go on a
tropical cruise. I would go on like

145
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.639
one of those retirement cruises like along
the scene in Europe or something. I

146
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.320
would do that, like that that
goes all the different cities in Europe.

147
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.440
I might hit that. Oh that
would go on. I would go on

148
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:50.000
a very small uh like giant bomb
booze cruise. Yeah, I would do

149
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.559
that. That's gonna be nothing but
diseases. Actually, so I would be

150
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.480
very It's really open and there's no
like lodges, no like mess hall.

151
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.320
You'll be fine. You think we
can cond people to do that though a

152
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.559
large draft? Yeah, you think
we can see all right? You know,

153
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.159
someone that doesn't know how to swim, I would have to be wearing

154
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.559
a life jacket at all times.
Okay, I mean I feel like the

155
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.000
odds of you going overboard or slim, but if you want to feel also,

156
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.039
how many life jackets could we put
on jan It's a question I think

157
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:24.000
we answer all of a sudden,
cruising back on the table, I think

158
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:31.960
we get fifty on him. I
think we get fifty life properly or just

159
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:37.519
like hung everywhere anywhere in any way
it counts. I think we get fifty

160
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.679
on there. He'd just be a
ball of safety. I think it depends

161
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.879
whether or not he still has his
hair, sure of course. Yes,

162
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.480
Okay, okay, well let's buoyant, he's let's point, let's talk about

163
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:56.039
games. Okay quick? No,
quick, Zelda? Check is why?

164
00:11:54.159 --> 00:12:01.799
Uh? Uh? Yes? I
still like you? Planning on a plane

165
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.240
soon quick, Zelda? Check for
folks, if you missed it last week,

166
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.320
I made an unwise decision to make
a large declarative statement on a podcast.

167
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.320
It gets listened to by at least
two dozen people. You know what

168
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.559
you did? I made have been
But if I do not finish Tears of

169
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.519
the Kingdom by the beginning of the
Saturday panel at packs this guy, I

170
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.879
would shave my head. Would you
expect? You know? I got the

171
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.480
hard thing out of the way.
I recorded that yesterday with grub. That's

172
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.480
out of the way. Yes you're
yes, You've got the big work thing

173
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.200
done, so you could like get
back into it. But where are you

174
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.240
at? And Zelda? Have you
gone back to play? Zelda? Oh?

175
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.240
Yes, I was playing last night
and then I finally got the last

176
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.919
tower that I didn't get. Uh. Did I do any of the mainline

177
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.399
story stuff? No? I just
kept running around what is you? Is

178
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.559
it? Saying? Hey, go
check out what like what's going on with

179
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.399
Zelda at the at the castle.
Oh no, no, it doesn't say

180
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.240
that anymore. I'm past that.
I'm like, God, okay, then

181
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.879
you're good. Yeah, good because
if you like, I mean, you

182
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.759
got to do the big thing.
But other than that, you'll you'll crush

183
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.519
it. You'll be done soon.
Yeah. What are shaving your head?

184
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.120
Gives you like, uh, some
sort of cool fucking superpower or something?

185
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.080
What would that? Because powers?
Yeah? And are you doing do we

186
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.639
say if you're bicking it or if
you're doing We're not. We're not bicking

187
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.240
it. So you're like a number
zero or a number one, we're doing

188
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.399
like a one or two. You
know, we could do it too,

189
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.360
he'll before. I mean, it's
gonna be so short compared to what it

190
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.600
is, like even like a two
or three would be Yeah, it just

191
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.879
it would count as a buzz cut
at that point. That's what we're talking

192
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.279
about here. Yeah. But see, we're all talking like, I'm not

193
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.919
going to finish this game. I'm
gonna finish it. Can take somebody,

194
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.720
no, no, no, that
I've got to finish this game. What

195
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.879
you're talking about? Who can I
bet? Does anybody think on the panel

196
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.720
here does anybody think that he will
do it as well? Like, does

197
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.360
any body else also think he'll do
it? Because I would like to bet

198
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.200
you money that he will not.
Yeah, I think he's gonna do it.

199
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.440
Oh yeah, money, I'll bet
money. I don't have any,

200
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.759
But well that defeats the purpose of
what I'm gonna win. So let's just

201
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.600
do it, and then if i'll
just wel yeah, yeah, I'll load

202
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.080
this. I'm dunk. Yeah.
If I could get grub money by him

203
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.639
winning a bet on me, I'll
do it. Yeah. Let's go realistically,

204
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.960
like how many hours are you from
finishing? You know, a good

205
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.000
hundred probably? Oh oh oh,
what can I do? You shave your

206
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:37.399
head again and I'll grow my hair
out? No, no, here,

207
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.720
here's here's prodigy. I would love. I'll just concentery real hard Backlar just

208
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.679
has to have a mustache. He
just shaves everything else except the stash.

209
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.000
See that's I haven't been I haven't
been clean shaven since the day of my

210
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.159
wedding day. So like eleven years, happiest day of your life, it's

211
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.200
pretty funked up. I think that's
a bet that's more fucked up than your

212
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.039
bed. Jan I just gotta say, hey, you know, I want

213
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.960
to make good on another promise.
I made it at one pack, so

214
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.840
like I think it was the last
packs. The Giant Bomb was at Backlard.

215
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.000
Do you think it's okay with the
people at packs if I throw a

216
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:20.360
bucket of chicken into the audience?
Uh? Is it? Is it like

217
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.840
wrapped? You know? Like okay, I could individually wrap the chicken shore.

218
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.360
I feel like right backs West,
Yes, I feel like if I'm

219
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.600
if I'm like sitting in from row
and I get there and I'm all happy

220
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.159
to see my my Giant Bomb,
you know people that I'm here to see,

221
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.840
and then I get it's cooked.
It's cooked. Yeah, I realized.

222
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.720
But like you also definitely know if
you're at a Giant Bomb panel that

223
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.919
chicken crumbs are very likely to get
you like yeahs, So you will get

224
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.360
chicken crumbs. You may get soaked
in chicken crumbs. So it's basically a

225
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.559
Gallagher show. Yes, yeah,
I don't you have to hand and clutch

226
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.360
because then you can turn the dial
down on the chicken you get must chicken,

227
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.080
let me get full wet you go? Man? If I if I

228
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.120
went to a panel and walked away
very greasy, I'd be up I'd probably

229
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.799
be upset. I'd be like,
oh man, if it was a really

230
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:14.039
good time, you know, if
you started greasy, just maybe individually wrap

231
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.639
him in tinfoil or something. I
don't know. I thought, well with

232
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:22.080
you and individually wrapping stuff in tinfoil, I'm just very to look like that.

233
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.200
I don't like things getting very dirty, So I'm a bad person to

234
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.679
ask. Like if my kid rolls
around outside, like I literally have to

235
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.080
walk away because I don't want to
tell him not to do it. Because

236
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.320
he's a kid. He should do
it, he should get dirty. But

237
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.559
it fucks me up inside so much
when I just have to like walk away,

238
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.679
and yeah, so that's who I
am. Okay, I feel as

239
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.679
long as you have a vegan option, so if you throw stuff in the

240
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.559
audience, you gotta chicken. And
then it's like one part of the crowd's

241
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:57.159
like, we're vegetarian. You throw
some I don't know, tofu at him

242
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:03.240
with it. Yeah, act this
sealery. Could you imagine you're vegan and

243
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.839
you go to a giant bump panel
only to get slapped in the face with

244
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.599
a drumstick, and like, what
the with all the random food talk we

245
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.000
have here with me talking about that
I could probably eat one hundred nuggets in

246
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:21.480
one sitting, the hot dog discourse
of the past year, the cheese pizza

247
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.200
gate, of pizza gate, that
we need to Okay, I need to

248
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:30.200
read you know who knows what we'll
be talking about in Q three, right

249
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.880
right? You're right? New food
product will cause us distress exactly, Bailey.

250
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.240
What's what's going to be the food? Just just what the fortune tellers

251
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.559
say? Soup. We're gonna have
to figure out what soup is to find

252
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.160
as fuck. Yeah, it's it's
just crunchy water. Yeah, it's cereal

253
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.640
is soup? We have to think
about this. Ah, we can't.

254
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.559
Shit, I can't. I can't
deal with this. I can't deal with

255
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.079
that. H for next quarter?
Okay, next quarter? All right?

256
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.440
Everyone four to put it away?
Put it away, not a lot.

257
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.920
Put a pin in that has cyril
ever come in? I can't never mind?

258
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.960
Oh oh no, that's a that's
a cool thing though to ask like

259
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.319
that's not controversial. That's just like
a fun thought experiment, right, yeskay?

260
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.880
But would it be wet like corn
anyway? Like dog food? I

261
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:22.039
need to we can't have tangents on
the show anymore. We just need to

262
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.279
talk about video games. Hey,
Tears Is the Kingdom is a fantastic game.

263
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.279
It's great. I have a stupid
smile every time, like I find

264
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.359
something new and stupid. It's like, you idiots, all right, cool,

265
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.359
lets go help you out. Uh
huh. I beat I beat it,

266
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:38.319
and I felt I still felt the
same way, where it's just like

267
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.400
every time I would stumble across something, it was like, yeah, that's

268
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.279
amazing, that's end. Even in
here. I spent a solid hour last

269
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:51.519
night taking selfies with gorons because they
were just adorable. I'm like, what's

270
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.839
up? How you play the game
and wind up shaving your head in eleven

271
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.200
days? Yeah? You know,
I'm training. I'm training, and I'm

272
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.119
gonna spend a lot of time training. So I'm just gonna I'm gonna beat

273
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.720
this game. I'm convinced. I'm
convinced you're not You're not all right.

274
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.920
So I am like, I'm like, what is your main mission right now?

275
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:18.640
Do you know? Off two of
the fuck nos grub Okay, Okay,

276
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.440
I'm not gonna because that's a spoiler. I'm trying to like figure out

277
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.240
a way you're like he would have
to scroll so far up he'll never get

278
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.119
up there. Exactly. I've just
talked to so many people and then I'm

279
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.759
like, you know, I'm gonna
help you out. I forget Zelda.

280
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.400
We don't need, we don't need
right now, right? Have you been

281
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.279
finding the tears the different tiers and
stuff, like you've got to find them

282
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.519
all? Did you get all the
tears? Okay? Yeah, that's really

283
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:47.799
so critically important lemonade right there?
Yeah, okay, oh no, that

284
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.799
also already exploring the depths more in
depth though, see, okay, you're

285
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:57.200
doing okay, you're definitely not finishing
this game. Yeah, that's what I

286
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:02.079
did, and I now I've actually
fully one. There was like two little

287
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:03.720
spots I couldn't get too because I
didn't go to didn't beat the game.

288
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.400
And then once I did that,
that made it easier. That ending jan

289
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:15.240
is very very good. It's very
good. So I would try to see

290
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.240
it like it's like, yeah,
make it happen, No, I'm gonna

291
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.200
make it happy. I made me
cry real human tears out of really yeah,

292
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.160
human tears. Yeah, emotional too, but this will made me cry

293
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.079
in a different way. Yeah,
exactly, not not to make it all

294
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.559
about me. But like I wonder
when I'm gonna finish this game, like

295
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.279
I will I'm going to experience really
human tears. Yeah, like what are

296
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.599
what? Am I going to be
able to cry with my son? Yeah,

297
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:42.720
you're playing with But like you guys
are going at your own pace,

298
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.359
Like you'll probably get there maybe fifty
fifty five hours I think though, Yeah,

299
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:52.920
you'll probably get there by dissimil Oh
we're gonna we're Oh, I can't.

300
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.799
I just can't wait to do like
the monitor on the plane, Like

301
00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.559
I think that is gonna be the
dopest thing. I'm super gonna look like

302
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.319
the coolest people on that plane.
For sure. People are gonna stop in

303
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.559
the aisle. It just be like, can I shake your fucking had congratulate

304
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.039
You're definitely gonna be the next president
of the United States. Easy say to

305
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:15.680
you. Easy love it, Bailey. I need to ask you if Balder's

306
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:22.160
Gate three, Act three has brought
tears to your face. Well, let's

307
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:29.000
see, I've already had to lose
two hours of game progress and I'm at

308
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.559
the beginning of act three. This
is not my first time doing this in

309
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:37.880
this game. I here's here's the
thing is I needed to get footage of

310
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:44.000
them fucking the bear for the honest
game trailer that's coming out in thirty minutes,

311
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.880
and I still have not achieved getting
this footage. I don't think I'm

312
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.599
gonna make it at this point.
Game itself, yeah, the game itself

313
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.880
did not make it easy for me
at all, because I was like blasting

314
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.359
through Act two like okay, wholes
and won't join your party until Act three.

315
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.599
Got it, got it, got
it, he's the Bear, And

316
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.319
so I'm like blasting through Act two. I meet JK. Simmons. It's

317
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.839
rad seeing him, No for you, just going right to it. Absolutely,

318
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.279
yeah, I'm like focus power through
it, get get to the bear

319
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.440
sex And then you get to the
end of act two having done this,

320
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.359
and Hawson is like, it's a
shame you didn't break the Shadow curse and

321
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:27.839
now you never will, so I
cannot join you on your quest and like,

322
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:37.240
oh and find the stupid broken loot
or whatever, and oh, and

323
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:38.920
I had a save where like I
knew where the loot was, and I

324
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.519
had a save where I definitely killed
that guy, but I couldn't find the

325
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.240
loot for like an hour, And
it turned out he's in my traveler's chest

326
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.880
in my camp, so I don't
have I didn't meet the footage, is

327
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.920
what I'm saying. It does sound
like bad DM problems again right where it's

328
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.359
like you will like if you had
a good DM, they'd be like,

329
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.880
remember it's in you, you have
it in your camp, like you have

330
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.200
this already, and but no,
the game is just like you're on your

331
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:06.279
own good luck. Game has thrown
hundreds of items at me and expects me

332
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.319
to remember all of them so that
Halston will come with me so I can

333
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:15.440
have sex with a bear. And
it's hard. Yeah, I've had weekends

334
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:21.440
like this as well. You know, are you enjoying other than not being

335
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.400
able to have intimate relations with the
bear? Are you enjoying your time with

336
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:29.279
Balder's Gate three? Still? Yeah, it's great. Sometimes it's really good.

337
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.640
Most of the time it's really good. It's the parts when it's mind

338
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:38.200
numbingly frustrating that make me so angry
because it's like so close to being a

339
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:44.400
perfect game, and then there's no
like there's an autosave feature, but in

340
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.599
name only, certainly not in spirit, and like all the times I've had

341
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:55.279
to just undo three hours because I
missed one item that I can never get

342
00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.000
back because I want to have sex
with Halston in the game. So the

343
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.559
bear sex is the one thing that
seems like there, you're definitely doing the

344
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.160
saves coming for a going so hard. Of course they're sex, but you're

345
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.640
just doing your job here, like
you're just doing you just a few delicial

346
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:18.480
yes, of course. But are
there other situations where you are doing saves

347
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.119
coming because you're like, oh,
this isn't the perfect run or I don't

348
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:23.759
I was trying to get this thing
for a very long time and I screwed

349
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.599
one thing up and now we won't
be able to get it. Or is

350
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.920
it just the bear sex. It's
I mostly try to avoid saves coming,

351
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.640
but god damn, in this game, it is hard not to do.

352
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.720
Yeah, of course, Like I
have a My character is a rogue.

353
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.480
Her whole thing is, you know, the big guys do the fighting,

354
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.279
and then she sneaks in and undoes
all the traps and like unlocks all the

355
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.799
locks, and she broke her last
lock pick on a really important door with

356
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.640
a critical failure the million fights scene
that day, and I wait, you

357
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:57.640
know what today, and so I
gave up. I gave up. I

358
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.680
dropped all by dignity and my pride, and I went, no, I'm

359
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.559
gonna win this game, whether the
game likes it or not, Bailey,

360
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.240
I gotta ask how many acts are
there in Boulder's Gate? Is Act three

361
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.960
the last act? Or? Okay? So since you're near the end,

362
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.279
ish who knows? Have to restart? You don't know if I am,

363
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.039
Because here's the thing, is I
am? I just opened Steam to look

364
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.440
too so I could tell you an
accurate number. I am sixty three hours

365
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.920
into the game, okay, and
I just started Act three, Soda,

366
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.839
and I'm pretty sure Act three is
the longest one, and that's in the

367
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:47.039
titular gate of Boulder Boulders. Are
you at all tempted to once you complete

368
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:51.319
the game, start a whole new
character and go on the ride all over

369
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.279
again? Yeah? Absolutely? Really? Huh yeah? I want. I

370
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:56.960
think that there is no way to
play this game the same way twice,

371
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:02.240
especially if you just go with a
different character class. And my goal for

372
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:06.839
the next one is to make a
little stinker like my microL currently is very

373
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.559
like like neutral good is sort of
the way she's been like making all her

374
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.160
choices because I want Halston to fall
in love with me. Uh, but

375
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.759
if I want to get a Starian, I have to be a little bit

376
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.000
of a stinker, So you're gonna
go back. I'm going to be a

377
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.480
stinker and maybe a spellcaster. Starry
doesn't go for any goody two shoes like

378
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.200
you. No, no, no, You're down to yeah, down to

379
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.960
literally clown. Yes, exactly,
there you go. Yeah, the big

380
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:42.839
Starian, big ICP fan definitely absolutely
Loveago. Yeah washes that silver hair in

381
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:48.079
Fago Jan. We've played more on
Friday and I had a really good time.

382
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:53.279
Yes, that game is fun.
There's a lot like I want to

383
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.279
spend more time with it. I'm
playing like five other things and most of

384
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.559
them we can't talk about yet then, so I'm not trying to tease it,

385
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.359
just kind of playing the situation a
little bit. But I'm like,

386
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:07.920
I'm after that Friday session that we
played for UPF, I'm like, definitely

387
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.119
gonna make some time for this game
after some of these review games get out

388
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:12.960
of the way. Yeah. So
yeah, it was it was just like

389
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:15.640
it was cool to be like,
Okay, somehow I'm waiting around for my

390
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.519
turn and you like that would be
the real big reason I would think a

391
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.240
multiplayer wouldn't work with a turn based
RPG like this, And yet it was

392
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.359
fun to watch you guys come up
with ideas and have time to think about

393
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.279
what I was gonna do, and
not just like buffoon it like I normally

394
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:30.920
do in those situations. It's like, oh, no, I'm gonna go.

395
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.640
I have a bone arrow, I'm
kind of a rogue. I can

396
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.359
sneak around and get up high and
have some advantage there. And it was

397
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.279
like, once that stuff started falling
into place for me, I could see

398
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.119
how the combat itself very fun and
then all the wacky stuff that can happen

399
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.160
in between. I was beginning to
get the hang of it. Like I

400
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.559
kept just I want to go see
the thing, even though they told me,

401
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.000
if you like step up to this
thing, bad things will happen.

402
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.400
I'm like, well, I just
want to get a little bit closer.

403
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.519
It's like, Nope, you can't
do that. Every time it went really

404
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.559
bad, it would either start a
fight or we'd end up killing a baby

405
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.480
an Albert. An Albert baby,
to be clear, but I haven't even

406
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:10.000
seen a Albert. So we went
in the cave and we found an Albert

407
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:12.599
and uh, for some reason,
I took a potion to talk to the

408
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:17.000
to the thing. Uh yeah,
sure, obviously right, But then I

409
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:18.799
stepped up close after she wore me
away and she's like, no initiative.

410
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.079
We're fighting, and I'm like,
well, I guess we gotta find our

411
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:23.960
way out. I'm gonna to target
this baby and to kill the baby,

412
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:29.640
and then the mama Albert screams in
English, what did you do? And

413
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.480
I've never felt more terrible about anything
in my entire life. There's a lot

414
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.160
to unpack there. Yeah, it
was messed up, but I'm like,

415
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.920
man, I'm glad that game one
like makes this possible, and two accounts

416
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.240
for like those emotions from the Albert. So yeah, there's something going on

417
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:49.440
there that I definitely want to dig
deeper into in three minutes and did a

418
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:55.559
war crime immediately, That's just who
I am. I gonna tell you,

419
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.799
Yeah, I kreb I'm also compelled
to play more of it, but again

420
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:06.519
caught up in the review code season
of big Titles, and uh, it's

421
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.400
I feel like I only want to
play that game with people because for some

422
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:15.200
reason, it lowers the stakes versus
sure having to devote so much time like

423
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.000
hearing Bailey's say that she lost two
three hours, just like, oh shit,

424
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.400
I lose two three hours in my
regular life. Like I can't.

425
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.279
I can't do that in a game. But like just goofing around with with

426
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:33.440
y'all was was was fun, But
man's I can't. I can't imagine trying

427
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:38.240
to wrangle a group of friends outside
of work hours for a stream to hey,

428
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.440
can you play boulders Gate three reasons
please boulders Gate with you. I

429
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.319
haven't gotten to play a multiplayer with
anyone. I've had to just babysit three

430
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.599
NPC's at a time. I think
we'll do we'll do one more stream of

431
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.319
that. I think probably eventually you'll
have to decide if you want to take

432
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.599
over doorf on Golf, which is
Dan's character, or or who's the other

433
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:03.279
one because you're block Glass in there. I'm I think did Tam oh you'd

434
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.920
take over? Or you could take
over TAM's character, which is okay,

435
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.279
we'll make that. We'll make this
decision offline. It seems really important.

436
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:15.400
Something I don't someone to watch me
process throw the thing here is like I

437
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.400
could continue that save and just keep
playing it and then you guys could just

438
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.039
jump back in like you know,
hot seat it, and it's like that,

439
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:23.000
that's nice that it works that way
that I can, like, if

440
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.119
I'm interesting continuing that story, I
could play on my own, and then

441
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.960
when people and friends are available,
they could just hop in take over their

442
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.799
character again and just keep it going
forward. I don't know if it's a

443
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.720
well thought out game, and I
just wish I had more time for it.

444
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:38.799
We'll get there, well, we'll
eventually get there. They would call

445
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.519
you it comes out, and I
don't play that. I'll just play this,

446
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:47.000
uh something that the day has got
there because Greb, you've been playing

447
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:52.039
it and I forgot this came out
completely. You've been playing Bomb Rush cyber

448
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.519
Funk. Yeah. So I was
never much of a jet jet set radio

449
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.720
guy. I was too busy playing
Tony Hawk and like Tony ok fit with

450
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.559
like the kind of way I wanted
to play those kinds of games. But

451
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:04.400
I was always like I always admired
it from a distance, like I like

452
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.039
the way it looks like its style, like the music, and and then

453
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.119
I would like try it here or
there and be like it's not clicking with

454
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.279
me. I don't necessarily think I
liked the way it plays. This game

455
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.319
has the the look, the style
on the music, and I think I

456
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.359
like the way it plays and feels. A big part of that is they

457
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:29.079
just really make the act of doing
cool tricks and keeping combos going pretty simple.

458
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.559
It's pretty easy to do, so
the difficulty comes from like looking around

459
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.359
the world and spotting these places to
actually perform these long tricks. And usually

460
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:42.319
they will provide like markers, like
like literal markers, like places where you

461
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.839
could do graffiti a big part of
jet Set Radio a big part of this

462
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.440
game. And then also pride like
little pickups here and there that that'll kind

463
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.960
of say, hey, go in
this direction and you'll see maybe a path

464
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.839
to pull off these neat combos.
And once I was able to like start

465
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:00.559
putting together really long combos where it's
like i am grinding, then I'm going

466
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.039
into a manual, and then I'm
I'm wall writing, and I'm doing a

467
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.960
double jump and a dash into another
grind on a wall, and then I'm

468
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.039
coming down and I'm like landing a
trick there. It's like, Okay,

469
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:14.319
that was pretty cool, And there's
a lot of It's pretty similar to Tony

470
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.480
Hawk, where it's like the combo
pick up where it's like you can got

471
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:21.759
to get combo in one combo.
They have stuff like that, and it's

472
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.079
like, that's the what I come
to these games for. Just challenge me

473
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:28.079
to do a couple of cool things, pull off some cool maneuvers, and

474
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.799
make me feel gnarly I guess or
whatever. And this game is definitely hitting

475
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:37.359
that stuff. And also I think
the story is relatively good. You play

476
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:42.519
as a character who who gets decapitated
in the first like couple of minutes of

477
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.920
the game. Uh. Yeah,
the guy this is like the Evil DJ

478
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:50.920
throws a vinyl record. Yes,
of course, and well this one is

479
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.079
specially I think this is king Evil
DJ. And he throws a vinyl record

480
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:55.400
at you like you know, like
a frisbee, and it just swoops in

481
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:59.200
and catches your neck and your head
pops off, and it's like, what

482
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:01.480
the hell is going on? And
then happened to me last time I played

483
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:06.440
Frosby, right, which is why
he gets replaced with a robot head like

484
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:08.079
this character. And uh, and
then you just keep going and now you're

485
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:10.880
like, oh, we're gonna go. We gotta find your head. Things

486
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.519
like that. It's like it sounds
absurd, but they're just like you know.

487
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.079
The first group of characters that you
run into are called the Franks,

488
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.559
and they're like these piece together monsters
like Frankenstein's. They play basketball and every

489
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:24.759
time you talk to them, they're
doing a dance to the music. And

490
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:28.759
it's like, that's that's what this
game is. It's all vibes, it's

491
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.720
all about good feelings, and I'm
actually pretty impressed with it. I'm having

492
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:36.640
a pretty good time with it.
Yeah. I tried playing one of it

493
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:42.119
was either Jet Grind Radio or Jets
Set Rate Grind Future Boys Yeah Radio Future

494
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.480
Yeah something, whatever it's called,
and I could just never get the feel

495
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.720
of it. But hearing that,
it feels slightly different, but the vibes

496
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.200
are still there. Yeah. There's
no time to play this game though,

497
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:57.319
grub I right, Yeah, I
like uh so, the many of the

498
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.599
games I'm playing like they're coming up
in the next couple of weeks. I

499
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:05.160
can't play on my handheld computers or
stuff for one reason or another. So

500
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.319
it's like, this is the game. I put on the Roger ally and

501
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:08.679
I've been playing on there and it
works. Of course, it works really

502
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:13.960
well on there. I will say
the game doesn't always make it clear what

503
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.440
you're supposed to be doing. Occasionally, like one of the characters, I

504
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:20.039
talked to one of the Franks,
and he's like, hey, go do

505
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.920
this combo right here, and I'm
like, okay, I kind of see

506
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.119
it, and then like after it
cuts back from the cut scene of him

507
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:29.719
performing that, showing you what you're
supposed to do, I'm like disoriented.

508
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.599
I'm like I don't even know what
direction you went into. And then there's

509
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:36.039
a lot of little stuff like that, that thing where a cut scene will

510
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:37.760
end and it'll be like go over
here, and now it's like the camera's

511
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:42.239
pointing off in a different direction.
That happens pretty frequently. I get the

512
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.199
maps aren't huge, it's not a
huge problem, but it's a little annoying.

513
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.039
But that's similar sort of thing happens. And I got a boss fight

514
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.159
and I just for like five minutes, I'm skating around, like am I

515
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:57.599
just supposed to be avoiding these attacks
because there's no obvious like attack button,

516
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.079
And turned out I'm supposed to be
kind of like double jump and just I

517
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.840
kind of ram my body into the
boss and it's like that doesn't feel great,

518
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:06.440
and that wasn't obvious, and eventually
I figured it out. And I

519
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.079
tend to do that repeatedly. Uh, and it's like it's not as obvious.

520
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:10.760
It's like, oh, I have
spray paint. Just spray paint the

521
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.159
enemies. You could do that to
some like the cops. That works,

522
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:15.159
but some of these bosses it's like, no, just run into them.

523
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.719
And it's like, okay, I
not everything here feels like super polished or

524
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.280
super super like well thought out to
be conveyed to the player. But as

525
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.199
soon as I got back into the
world, I was having a good time

526
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:28.800
just skating around and doing cool stuff. Also, you get rollerblades. I

527
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.400
think you also get a skateboard and
like the bad guys around bikes, so

528
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:34.800
it's not all just rollerblading. If
anyone has an aversion to that, which

529
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.719
we should all be over, rollerblading
is great. Yeah. I was gonna

530
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:45.599
say, I think the pandemic did
wonders for rollerblading roller skating pr Yeah,

531
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:50.960
I think so Stock on the rest, Yes, there we go. I

532
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.480
gotta play this. Yeah, I
think you would like it. Ah.

533
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:58.599
Man, you know, I noticed
the children are getting back into BMX bikes.

534
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:02.480
It's fun seeing the pegs out there, just children like three p three

535
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:07.960
kids a bike, just front pegs, back pegs, just hooting and hollering.

536
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.519
Yeah, that's what that's what b
Mexican is all about, about hooting

537
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:17.360
and hollering. I did see that
the other day when I was along the

538
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:22.159
way. Yeah, you know,
as soon as I said the word pegs

539
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:25.119
and it came out of my mouth, I knew somehow we were gonna get

540
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:30.760
there, and no one disappointed me. Well, there's I can't even think

541
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.760
of a segue. On Guard is
a game that I've been playing. It's

542
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:43.880
also what you say when you're about
to peg somebody and we're going, well,

543
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:46.320
I set that on, I set
that one up. You walked right

544
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:52.000
into that one. I it would
be really funny if someone did that.

545
00:36:52.079 --> 00:37:00.039
Though man made himself cry to be
clear that he himself. Dude, he

546
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:07.519
popped himself. Now, hey,
that's why we love you. You're not

547
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:13.039
It's okay, that's sorry, that's
all right. Well on Guard. If

548
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.159
folks checked out the Steam Next Fest, was it a UPF or was it

549
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:20.559
a just miscellaneous stream that we did
a couple of weeks ago. We did

550
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.519
a UPF where we did the next
fest catchup that sounds try right right right

551
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:29.679
right. We This is one of
the games that we played, and it

552
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:36.039
is It is a fun This reminds
me of like PS two games in terms

553
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:38.000
of the aesthetics and the vibe of
it. Because of the color palette.

554
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:47.440
It kind of makes me think of
gosh, the Road to El Dorado of

555
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:52.559
like color palette and just how their
character designs are. I don't know why

556
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:58.039
the Road to El Dorado specifically Yo
shouts out that child, I'm alright anyway,

557
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:04.360
but it is I what I think, uh, sword fighting should be

558
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.559
in video games, like specifically,
like dueling sword fighting should be, because

559
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:14.639
this game heavily, heavily relies on
parrying and dodging at the right time,

560
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:20.320
and it isn't in a very brutal
way like how Securo or some of the

561
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:25.199
Souls games will be where there's a
giant as far as I know, a

562
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:30.199
giant monster or a bunch of snakes
just attacking you with a big ass sword.

563
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:34.480
It's just a bunch of dude just
dueling you and use the mouse buns

564
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:38.760
and then the keyboard to properly parry
or like sidestep out of the way and

565
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:43.760
it's very satisfying and and how you
get through it. I think the Steam

566
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:45.760
Next Best demo. I don't know
if there's a demo out on the Steam

567
00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:50.440
Store, but pretty much actually once
they post those they usually come back for

568
00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:54.079
they win the games out. But
I'll check right but if you're at all

569
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:58.119
curious, check out that portion of
the Steam Next vest upf Maybe we'll try

570
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.000
and get a quick look in the
can. I really enjoy it. The

571
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:05.840
mobility is really nice and how they
handle the combat. You're not in an

572
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:09.880
open world roaming around or you're kind
of like in lanes just uh, not

573
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:15.079
scrolling through, roaming through the specific
encounters, and it feels really good.

574
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:20.159
Like I thought I should switch it
over to a controller, but then it

575
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:24.079
just felt better with a mouse and
keyboard. Yeah, are you more used

576
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:28.400
to mouse and keyboard or are you
more of a game pad kind of guy,

577
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:31.960
more of a game pad type of
type of fella? Then okay,

578
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:37.199
But with Wazdi here, it just
feels like it fits better with with the

579
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:39.880
combat style, Like it feels like
it was designed this way. I could

580
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:46.480
be completely wrong. What this actually
made me think about in how the combat

581
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:57.559
feels sometimes is if you've ever played
we Sports Resort, which, uh yeah,

582
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:02.679
what is it called the sword fighting
the baton? Sure, it feels

583
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:07.639
a lot like fencing. Well it's
called on guard. Wow, yah know,

584
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:12.440
like you could be on guard about
some some jazz and stuff. But

585
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:20.559
I really enjoy Yeah, it also
reminds me of bowling, but you're just

586
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:25.639
trying to get a hole in one
a bowling term. We're on the green

587
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:32.920
now sports. But I really enjoy
it. I haven't spent too much time

588
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.880
with it. It is. It
gets challenging very very quickly. But maybe

589
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.960
just because I'm a scrub at video
games. It seems like the kind of

590
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.400
game that would ramp up quickly to
me though, because I think the whole

591
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:50.280
if you're doing one thing, and
that one thing is sword combat, how

592
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.679
do you keep that? I mean, I'm sure they can introduce a lot

593
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:54.679
of fun stuff, but I think
the way you actually make that game stay

594
00:40:54.760 --> 00:41:00.639
interesting his like actually introduce a skill
increase over time, like have an actual

595
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:04.800
skill ramp, and so yeah,
that sounds promising in a lot of ways.

596
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.840
I always liked the way it looked, and I like how big are

597
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:12.320
like the Perry windows and things like
that, like it's probably relatively bit compared

598
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.519
to a From game, but are
they still relatively tight at the same time,

599
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:19.440
it's let's split the difference from a
From game and then one of the

600
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:23.800
Arkham games where there's like there is
a window that you can definitely tell but

601
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:28.440
if you miss it, you know
why you missed it, versus it kind

602
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:31.440
of been more generous like an Arkham
game, and then you kind of not

603
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:37.159
quite knowing why you missed the perry
in a From game. Right, there's

604
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:40.480
definitely a learning curve. I don't
know how much to the game there is

605
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:45.119
outside of these encounters and like these
like traversal. The traversal doesn't feel too

606
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:49.400
great on a mouse and keyboard unfortunately, just like the swinging and just jumping

607
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:53.119
around and stuff. But the sword
combat great, absolutely great. I would

608
00:41:53.159 --> 00:42:00.000
like to see this get carried over
into like another game further down the line.

609
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:04.039
Speaking about going further down the line, or maybe we should say up

610
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:08.320
the Spire, Bailey, you continue
to slay the Spire. Yeah, I

611
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:12.239
thought I would lose steam on it
now that I'm no longer playing it to

612
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.079
procrastinate on playing the game I'm supposed
to be playing. But oh my God,

613
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:20.800
I'm not losing steam on it.
I beat it with I've beaten it

614
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.880
with all four of the different characters. At this point, I do like

615
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:30.000
better than I thought. I was
for sure, but I was. I'm

616
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.119
like in love with the defect character. But I finally figured things out with

617
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:36.239
all the other characters too, and
oh god, it's just so good.

618
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.760
I'm just obsessed with card games now. I'm all card games all the time.

619
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:44.400
Now that's my whole thing. All
these big giant open world RPGs are

620
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:45.840
coming out, and that's my whole
ship, and I'm just like, no,

621
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:50.519
now I'm deeply invested in this card
game. Yeah, that's it.

622
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.320
I bet you're getting a lot of
recommendations from like chat and Twitch and here's

623
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:57.000
fifty other card Yes, you should
be playing, Yes, because I started

624
00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:00.159
with Inscription and then I got Slay
Spyer recommended to me because of that,

625
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:07.760
and now they are recommending Monster Train
and that's stop on the train station after

626
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:14.360
Monster Train, Bailey, you should
really check out Grift Lands Lands. Yes,

627
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:20.800
Okay, it's another card down card
combatish game, but there's more same

628
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:22.960
same realm as those other games,
right, yeah, right, but there's

629
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:29.920
more social aspects to juggle as well
of like, oh, this person definitely

630
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:34.920
doesn't like me speaking about card games
and card game I wish I wound up

631
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:38.119
sticking with and I wish I liked
more? Was do y'all remember Square Enix's

632
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:46.280
The Voice of Cards. No,
this was a whole JRPG where everything was

633
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:51.840
done via cards, Like even the
dialogue it was just cards talking to each

634
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:57.519
other and like kind of jumping around. Even like traversing the overworld was just

635
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:01.559
like moving a chess piece or a
marker through animating hair, and they were

636
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:05.519
like no more in this one,
it was I wish I liked that.

637
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:10.760
That's done so cute. Oh it's
not cute, Okay, it's very slow,

638
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:15.079
nostologic for it until the end there. It's just very slow because you

639
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.639
know, you get used to like
the fast paced nature of Slay the Spire

640
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.840
and then like other card games of
like, okay, I already know what

641
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:23.800
my deck build is going to be
based off of looking at the overworld map.

642
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:27.400
This is the route I'm gonna go. This is the build I'm gonna

643
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:32.119
go. But with like, doing
a full on RPG got very tiresome,

644
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:38.079
very quick because it doesn't move at
the Cadence, any of these other run

645
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:42.599
based card games go. I think
that's what happened with me with Hand of

646
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.800
Gilgamesh, that Steam World card game, which was really really well made,

647
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:49.960
really good. It's just the pace
was a little bit slowed down. But

648
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:52.440
because of the cards, I think
it's still I mean, for all the

649
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:58.199
pieces that it's putting together, it's
still actually pretty. It happens pretty rapidly,

650
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:00.639
but it wasn't. I just could
stay attached to it for some reason.

651
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:04.199
But I think it's probably one you
might like as well, Bailey is

652
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.280
because a lot of people do like
this game. Please send me as many

653
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.039
card game recommendations as possible. I
love to get deeply invested in games that

654
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:14.519
I cannot make honest game trailers about
it. It's so helpful for me and

655
00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:19.800
my productivity. It's really good.
That was a Gilga mech Sorry, uh,

656
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:23.480
that was a fun one. With
all this card talk, I need

657
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:27.360
to put this out into the universe. I need to put this onto the

658
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:32.039
universe, folks, because my dear
friend Kim poisoned my mind because he shared

659
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:35.320
with me. He was you know, we were at a wedding. It

660
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:38.800
was like jam this Disney card game, and I was like, oh no,

661
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:45.320
homie home, no what? Oh
no, n look away, look

662
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:50.800
away, back, Lark backlark this
you can get in on this dock like

663
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.679
you meet. Mike Bailey kind of
likes Disney. I think you know,

664
00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:58.280
I'm a man many hobby boxes.
What are we doing here? I like

665
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:00.079
Disney and now I like card game, So I'm kind of all in.

666
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:05.880
You know, Disney put out Disney
put out a card game. Lor Kanna,

667
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:09.159
Lorcana, Lorcana. Oh shit,
I know all about na. Yeah

668
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:13.039
I've heard lor Kana, but I
don't know. I guess I've nat really

669
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:15.760
heard it from. It's a hot
commodity. It's like people, people are,

670
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:21.440
people are buying them up the streets
are hard talking about it. Grub,

671
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:23.239
you could get in on this too, now, come on, well

672
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:29.400
you can get all the ELSA cards, you can get all the well is

673
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.840
it like is it a set or
is it a collectible like trading card game

674
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:36.960
or you could game? Like,
well, I understand it's a game,

675
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.639
but like is it it? Was
it like a deck builder where like you

676
00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:43.519
have all the cards and like you
just buy this big expensive thing. I

677
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.920
believe it to go, Like that's
a little bit more. I could handle

678
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:51.119
that a little bit more than having
to like continue to buy like the booster

679
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.320
packs and stuff. But don't you
think the same, But like the vibe

680
00:46:54.320 --> 00:47:00.960
I've gotten from the you know,
card collectible weirdos that are even more pervier

681
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:05.280
than I are, Like, yeah, but everyone's going to be collecting with

682
00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:10.880
this as well. Yeah, that's
what I'm asking. So if I buy

683
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:17.119
Disney lorc Cana Lorcana Lorcana, do
I get the entire set in one box,

684
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:22.079
like a like a tabletop game,
Like I can't. I don't know

685
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:24.440
to whether or not that's true.
Okay, all right, it sounds like

686
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:30.360
if there's collecting elements, probably not, it's probably it seems like they sell

687
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.719
booster paths. But yeah, no, I'm out. I can't. I

688
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:37.280
can't go there. I can't put
on that ren. I think, Well,

689
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:40.360
look, I wonder if the well, it's the only the only thing

690
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:47.679
I collect are magnets, fridge magnets, because I know they're worthless when I

691
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:50.960
go somewhere. Whenever I go somewhere, I go to like the you know,

692
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.800
the aquarium shed aquarium, Well I'll
get a magnet because they're cheap and

693
00:47:53.920 --> 00:48:00.159
it's a it's a member of Memento
and it won't be worth anything and look

694
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:06.960
like fish a lot. So they're
fun. I like this a lot,

695
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:15.599
definitely. Let's just say that I
might be in a situation soon that perhaps

696
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:17.400
I don't know. It depends on
when these are available. I don't know

697
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:22.239
if it's the available year round.
Actually no, you can get a magnet

698
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.559
any Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm talking about lor Kano. They've

699
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:30.440
apparently hit small card shops. They're
not hitting wide rely suggest yet you think

700
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:35.360
they're like at the source, Yeah, you gotta go to a card could

701
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:37.400
comforting with a mouse? Is this
what you're suggesting? Oh no, so

702
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.000
here's a weird thing. Sometimes they're
not at the sign Magic Kingdom. What's

703
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:45.880
that? Sometimes they're not at the
source, like any other Disney related product

704
00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:52.159
is not available at the source because
the source sells very hyper specific things like

705
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.280
fun spirit jerseys. Oh Backlar,
you and the fam got to get a

706
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:59.000
spirit jersey. You know. I
don't know what that is, but I'll

707
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:00.480
look it up. I'll sell them
on the cruise. When you're there,

708
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:05.039
I just ask Captain Mickey. He'll
tell you where you can buy them.

709
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:07.920
Oh God, Okay, keep going
tell me more. But man, I'm

710
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:12.039
looking at this Mickey Mouse, the
Brave Little Tailor card. Look at this

711
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.800
little guy. It's got big scissors
and everything. What are you going at

712
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:19.599
him? So what I'm trying to
manifest is like, yoll send you boy,

713
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:22.760
send you boy a box. Please
send your boy box. Just just

714
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:24.679
help with the addiction. You know, this is just me trying to come

715
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:30.880
clean. Just just just help you. Yeah, nothing like continue to give

716
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:36.159
me the drug I need. Yeah
taste, John Drake, Oh, it's

717
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:39.559
helping me. Look John Drake,
you probably have nothing to do with this

718
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:43.199
game, but it's Disney, so
I think it's you, all right,

719
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.719
the heir to the Disney Empire.
John Drake, Yeah, exactly. Send

720
00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:52.599
me to disney Land again so I
could play a card game me and Mike.

721
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:57.199
Well, we'll go. What do
they What do they retail for the

722
00:49:57.239 --> 00:49:59.880
booster boxes? Do you know?
I don't know what the box is going

723
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:01.400
for. I might need to hit
up the plug. I may need to

724
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:07.840
hit up my barber. That's where
I go for all my narcotic I mean,

725
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.519
trading cards. If I have to
shave my head, he's gonna be

726
00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:14.440
so upset with me. He's gonna
be mad at you. He'll help you

727
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:15.920
beat Zelda. Then you tell him
what's going on, he'll help. Yeah,

728
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:21.079
he's like personally invested. You're gonna
show it. You are, You're

729
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:24.320
gonna yeah, exactly, Bailey,
You're gonna show up, and dude's gonna

730
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:28.920
be like, number one, you
fucking cheated on me. Number two?

731
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:32.360
What am I spretty to do with
this? Now? He just has my

732
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:37.360
voice, but just like on a
lower register, we're pretty much the same

733
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.480
person. He has a corgy.
I have a question, assumed I whenever

734
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:44.480
you talk about Barbera jan it's just
you and my brain, that's all I

735
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:47.000
imagine. He wears cool, sunning
glasses. I can't wear sunglasses because I'm

736
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:52.320
blind. But anyone got any other
games to talk about? I do have

737
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:58.079
a question. Anyone's gonna play Immortals
of a VM. So I watched Dan

738
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:01.440
play yesterday and I the card,
but literally just turned it on and then

739
00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:04.239
I was like, man, I'm
too busy. I'll get back to this

740
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:07.360
maybe before the BombCast. And then
that didn't happen. So what was your

741
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:12.679
takeaway from that? Yeah? I
mean without actually getting hands on myself right,

742
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:15.679
just take that with a grain of
salt there. That game is all

743
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:21.679
about hands though, yeah, it's
very much like dual hand like one you

744
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:25.239
know, one hand shoots stuff,
the other does magic kind of thing.

745
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.679
And it just seemed like that was
the loop, and you're just sort of

746
00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:34.840
like, you know, unlocking another
mission and going forward again. I don't

747
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.599
I don't want to. It's very
much cut out of that same cloth that

748
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:42.639
I feel like where games need to
break out of the thing and do something

749
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:45.280
special for you to remain kind of
interested in. This seemed to very much

750
00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:52.400
play in that very safe, repetitive
loop. And I think having you know,

751
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.440
played, you know, playing those
kinds of games for this what feels

752
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:59.679
like over a decade now, where
like these are just very much the same

753
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:04.199
sort of thing. It's difficult to
kind of like make the argument for why

754
00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:06.800
you would want to stick around,
right, Like, something's got to pop

755
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:12.440
in it. Is it like the
really cool you know combat, Is that

756
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:15.320
like the thing that does it for
you? Is it the story? Is

757
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:17.320
it the just the design of the
world and the kind of world building it

758
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:22.480
within and everything fidelity wise, and
that sort of like seemed pretty above average.

759
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:27.039
But like you know, I know
Dan's done with that game for sure,

760
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:32.280
and looking at it and being like
kind of interested in what it was

761
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:37.760
doing and what it had to say. You know, again, maybe it's

762
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:40.800
the desire to be overly economical.
What's the games we decide to choose and

763
00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:45.679
play at this point in our lives, But like, it probably just falls

764
00:52:45.719 --> 00:52:47.960
a little short of that. But
again, watch the quickly from probably take

765
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:52.360
take away the same you know,
realization from it from what I'm debating whether

766
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:55.079
or not to do an honest game
trailer about it. I'm like, is

767
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:58.840
it bad enough that it's funny?
Oh? No, I don't think it's.

768
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:00.360
No, I don't think see,
I think it's very much in the

769
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:05.719
middle. I like we actually we
actually, yeah, we talked exactly about

770
00:53:05.760 --> 00:53:07.039
it because Dan was saying like,
oh, it's so you know, it's

771
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:12.119
so easy to write about a game
you love. It's so easy to write

772
00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:15.599
about a game you don't love it. The hardest thing is like middle of

773
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:17.599
the road shit, and I think
this is on the higher end of that.

774
00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:22.800
But yeah, it's just a bit
unremarkable. Does it? Does it

775
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:27.119
lean into the cheese at all?
Baccalar of, Like, how do you

776
00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:32.599
think, like yeah, I don't
think I could like speak to that specifically,

777
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:37.079
but it is, you know,
like it is the most I mean,

778
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:40.800
I look like, I think in
all the previews and stuff, that

779
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:44.519
game looked interesting enough for me to
sort of be like, well, I

780
00:53:44.599 --> 00:53:45.599
just want to see what that looks
like, and I just want to like

781
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:52.000
know exactly how that get its thing. Just get acquainted with it, because,

782
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:54.119
like you said, like economic with
our time, a lot of games

783
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:57.920
you could play for three hours and
be like I get it, move on

784
00:53:58.440 --> 00:54:00.679
totally. Yeah, I think that
with Immortals. Yeah, I think that's

785
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:04.519
going to be the case for a
lot of people. I think we also

786
00:54:04.679 --> 00:54:07.480
said, like, hey, this
is like a prime like wait till it's

787
00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:09.239
on sale thing if you are super
intrigued, if you're not one of the

788
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:14.760
first people who have to play,
this thing feels like it's it'll it'll,

789
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:19.079
you know. Possibly you could probably
play the first couple hours on game pass

790
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:24.119
right because it's a EA play usual
they have like the game previews, so

791
00:54:24.199 --> 00:54:27.760
you can like just download and play
for a couple of hours before that timer

792
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:29.880
runs up. I could be that
could be wrong. Maybe that doesn't apply

793
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:31.920
to every game anymore. It used
to so maybe I'll do that. A

794
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:36.679
lot of the packaging, like the
menu packaging like look a lot like God

795
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:39.559
of War. And I do think
there are aesthetic similarities here and there.

796
00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:44.480
It's first person though, so it's
like, you know, obviously not that

797
00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:49.119
kind of action game, but yeah, it's just you know, the half

798
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:52.039
a dozen things that you know are
going to be in there. We're like,

799
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:53.719
oh, you get warped to a
combat are you know where you have

800
00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:58.880
to like take out waves of things
you you know, we'll get to an

801
00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:01.480
area where you have like, you
know, save a quick and dirty little

802
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:05.960
puzzle. I just think there's a
lot of stuff that everyone's kind of seen

803
00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:08.679
before there. I think that I
said this during the quickly like it looks

804
00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:14.400
cool as hell, Like there's cool
sort of ideas. And when I saw

805
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:17.480
the the f and vs or the
cinematics, really like they put a lot

806
00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:21.039
of money into those. Yeah,
for sure, Like there's polished there.

807
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:23.119
There's oodles of polish. Yeah.
I was gonna say it didn't feel it

808
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:28.599
felt disingenuous to call it a B
game or trying to categorize it there because

809
00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:32.679
it has more budget than your prototypical
B game. I think unfortunately. Also

810
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:37.119
the name of the game just makes
me feel like it's going to get lost

811
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:43.559
in the ether almost immediately, because
Immortals of Avum gives me the same vibe

812
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:51.239
that Valerian and the City of a
Thousand Planets game. Yeasy, like just

813
00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:53.679
call it Avium like or or you
know, or like just do something.

814
00:55:54.039 --> 00:56:00.079
Yeah, I'm with you there for
sure. It's name. Yes. The

815
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:02.079
other the other one that I'm curious
about that I haven't had time and I

816
00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:05.239
feel bad about. I wish I
could have talked about it on this BombCast

817
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:10.159
is jump Light Odyssey. This is
the spaceship management sim where you know,

818
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:14.719
kind of like it's similar in a
lot of ways to FTL. It seems

819
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:17.719
where like you're managing ship, but
in this one it's much more. It's

820
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:21.639
like FTL meets the sims, Like
there's a lot of people on your ship

821
00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:25.480
walking around and they're doing jobs,
and it looks really promising. It's an

822
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:30.639
early access. It came out yesterday
yesterday. It seems like it's doing really

823
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:34.000
well in terms of like user reviews
on Steam, and I just I really

824
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:37.480
like the way it looks, and
I like, I love FTL. So

825
00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:39.239
if it's like, this is another
spin on that count me in. It's

826
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:44.000
like, you know, uh,
Star Trek Star Trek Management Salmon's like you

827
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:45.280
ever wanted one of those. It
feels like this is actually doing that.

828
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:49.960
So I'm gonna give this a try. Probably now that I played enough Bomb

829
00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:52.840
Rush to talk about, I'm like, I'll try this next and see which

830
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:54.840
one I want to keep going on
with. Oh, while we're talking about

831
00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:59.960
games that we haven't devoted too much
time to, a game that I've had

832
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:04.239
my eye on for a long time
is finally out. It's a tactics game

833
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.840
called Cantata can Tata. I don't
know how to pronounce anything, folks,

834
00:57:08.199 --> 00:57:13.000
U c A n ta ta.
It's a tactics cantata. So I think

835
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:17.119
you were right the first time.
Trade Magnifique. It's a tactics game in

836
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:23.599
not quite like a pixel style.
I'm not sure how to describe it here,

837
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:28.360
but it's a tactics game, and
you boy loves tactics. This game

838
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:32.960
arguably almost has too many tiles and
has a bunch of systems impossible. Maybe

839
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:39.159
art looks so cool? Does it
looks really good? Trailers? It looks

840
00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:45.320
very different. Uh, The in
game cinematics. It does seem kind of

841
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:50.559
difficult from the early access Demoi played, but who knows what it's like now

842
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:58.360
it's giving me. It's giving me
like low intentionally low res haites vibes from

843
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:01.840
like screenshots on looking at or it's
just like a sexy pixel man standing in

844
00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:06.320
front of a bunch of sexy pixels. There we go, There we go.

845
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:07.880
I know what it looks like to
me. I mean, it looks

846
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:12.519
like a totally different game entirely,
but vibe wise from the screenshots. I'm

847
00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.840
already in all right, I'm looking. I'm looking at this. This looks

848
00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:19.280
okay, yeah, yeah, this
looks really good. It seems like a

849
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:22.360
perfect game to play on a Steam
deck if someone wasn't locked into playing Tears

850
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:29.199
of the Kingdom for the rest of
my life. Last thing on the dock

851
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:35.559
here it says talking about the current
state of roadblocks. So I just want

852
00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:38.239
to like chime in on that.
I know we've like, okay, obviously

853
00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:42.800
we all know how we collectively feel
about roblocks back art real quick. So

854
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:46.320
I was going through old episodes of
the bomb Cast and like uploading them making

855
00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:52.599
sure they're because you know, we're
we're going and adding markers because of you

856
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.599
know, some some new bidness,
some business talk. Oh yeah, I

857
00:58:55.880 --> 00:59:00.639
was getting I was explaining to that, explaining a lot to the folks at

858
00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:06.360
home, you know, like if
they've noticed some stuff, some funky business

859
00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:10.079
with their podcast feeds, if stuff
isn't loading properly, un subscribe or subscribe

860
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:15.920
to God's Favorite podcast. Uh.
And then episode seven hundred and seventy you

861
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:22.920
were talking about Dibb and his Roadblocks
problem, and this has been an ongoing

862
00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:30.519
saga. Is DIBs still having trouble
with Roadblocks? I mean he's not.

863
00:59:30.679 --> 00:59:36.039
He's not having trouble like anyone who
plays Roadblocks. He's having trouble. I

864
00:59:36.199 --> 00:59:39.960
think crisis. I just think,
like I pulled a little bit at the

865
00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:47.920
thread of the sweater with these like
twenty thirty something. Uh. YouTube streamers,

866
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:53.440
YouTubers who like have a piece of
the development of Roadblocks games and then

867
00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:59.559
use their popularity to like feed the
beast and get like the you know under

868
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:01.960
you know, thirteen year olds who
make up the majority of their audience to

869
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:07.039
just you know, fucking pump uh
pump and pump and pump into the micro

870
01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:13.639
transaction hellscape at all. Right,
So, like that and like look like

871
01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:20.639
on its face you're like, all
right, well that's okay to a very

872
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:24.480
like certain point, but it's not
at all. And in reality, I

873
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:29.880
think, like you know, I
know Patrick's been actually doing reporting on it

874
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:32.320
with his uh with his newsletter.
He should you should check it out it

875
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:38.119
because it's it really does like yeah, and it I think it's great for

876
01:00:38.239 --> 01:00:43.679
people who just like want to cut
through the bullshit of like when you search

877
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:46.119
for a thing you want to have
information about, right, You're like,

878
01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:50.440
is Roadblocks good for my kids?
You're just gonna first thing you're gonna hit

879
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:54.000
is like all the SEO bullshit that
like gamed the al Goo to like show

880
01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:59.320
up first and any of the real
information. Patrick helps you cut through that

881
01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:02.000
bullshit. So shout out to Patrick. He's star reporting on this. And

882
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:08.000
like these streamers, right, they
like change the name of their Roadblocks games

883
01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:13.559
as well. So there's a bit
So there's this like deceptive not a bait

884
01:01:13.639 --> 01:01:17.239
and switch, but like there is
this sort of like rejuggling and reshuffling of

885
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:23.000
the of the loops. So like
some some people I imagine feel like they

886
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:29.079
need to then support this new game
that looks similar to the old game and

887
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:32.119
again like it's all being done by
the same developer slash publisher within Roadblocks,

888
01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:36.880
right, like because there's all these
you know now that Roadblocks is what it

889
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:40.679
is. Those's like all these developer
teams and houses that put out a dozen

890
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:45.039
of these games that are just marginally
different from one to the next. It's

891
01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:52.440
just it just feels so nefarious and
so icky, like you try and you

892
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:55.159
know, like I look at Candy
Crush and I'm like, wow, bastion

893
01:01:55.280 --> 01:02:00.599
of like normalcy, even though it's
just a casino with like you know,

894
01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:06.599
fucking uh pay to you know what's
it called pay to like grind or whatever?

895
01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:08.199
Right, so you know what,
it reminds me of what you just

896
01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:10.360
subscribed. It reminds me of TikTok, where it's like, you know,

897
01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:15.840
people TikTok creators will do like the
same video basically over and over, slight

898
01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:20.400
changes to will change an outfit,
and eventually one of them will catch the

899
01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:22.679
algorithm, and it's like they're just
waiting for that, and it's like I'm

900
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:27.400
like, I don't know if I
hold that against creators, Like that's the

901
01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:30.639
system that they're existing in, and
so they're trying to manipulate that. But

902
01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:36.039
I mean, there's not much you
can do. We don't have a say

903
01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:37.639
in how the system works. So
it's like it's, yeah, this is

904
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:42.079
the result, and I don't know
if that's good creativity. It doesn't necessarily

905
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:45.559
feel that way. So yeah,
I don't know how is did feeling about

906
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:49.280
roadblocks these days. I think he
you know, I think he's still too

907
01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:52.559
young to realize what's really kind of
happening. And that makes sense, right,

908
01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:54.280
And that's for me the biggest issue, because there is this sense of

909
01:02:54.440 --> 01:02:59.760
like exploitation there where the vast majority
of that audience is so young that the

910
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:04.239
on it don't appreciate like what what
exactly is happening and how their attention is

911
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:08.280
really being manipulated. So, you
know, I don't know, I struggle

912
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:13.760
with it. I'd be lying if
I said that, Like I've seen a

913
01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:15.599
rollbocks game where I'm like, hey, that's actually kind of fucking cool,

914
01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:20.119
right, Like, there's definitely shit
out there. Right then It's not a

915
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:23.559
blanket statement because rollbocks is such a
gigantic platform, but I do think there

916
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:30.079
is a bit of nefariousness kind of
going on with some of these developers and

917
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:32.920
it's just like fuck, it's like
you know again, like leave it to

918
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:37.559
me to be like, yo,
play fort play Fortnite. Just play Fortnite,

919
01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:44.199
like have a have a wholesome time. Well, I mean there,

920
01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:47.639
they've introduced the ability to create custom
game modes and like I saw a full

921
01:03:47.719 --> 01:03:52.719
on Final Fantasy fourteen style raid inside
of Fortnite, which is wild, and

922
01:03:52.840 --> 01:04:00.440
like they made Fortnite look like Call
of Duty, absolutely wild. Yeah,

923
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:02.400
maybe go play Fortnite. I don't
know. Yeah, I think what it

924
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:08.599
does looks insane a good way.
They look really stupid. I love it,

925
01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:14.039
but I really do think we need
to like all jump into rollblocks once

926
01:04:14.079 --> 01:04:15.960
together, like yeah, you know
what I mean, Like we have to

927
01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:24.000
just do this as just more of
like an explorer, an informational exploratory mission.

928
01:04:24.159 --> 01:04:29.960
Right, we're like all the submarine
us. Yeah exactly, Like we're

929
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:33.199
just going on this like excursion.
We don't really have a guide, but

930
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.320
like maybe we should just go.
Maybe DIVI can guide us. I don't

931
01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:39.960
know, but we need to.
That would be fun if he was our

932
01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:45.480
z suo. But shit, it's
uh, it is really something else and

933
01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:50.559
it feels bad, and you know, I do see signs that maybe he

934
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:54.679
is on his way to begin to
grow out of it a little bit.

935
01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:59.880
You know, it'll probably relapse a
couple of times before he gets out of

936
01:04:59.920 --> 01:05:01.480
it without a doubt. And like
do you think you know? I was?

937
01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:04.000
I was confidently like, oh,
this might teach him a little bit

938
01:05:04.039 --> 01:05:09.039
about like the value of money,
right because you know he wants all these

939
01:05:09.199 --> 01:05:12.760
like roebucks and he wants to get
the thing. And then I'll like take

940
01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:15.440
real world examples and try and do
like a one to one world by like,

941
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:19.760
look, man, this Pokemon pack
is worth that thing that you have,

942
01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:24.320
Like do you see the relation?
Like do you see how when you

943
01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:29.039
just asked me for ninety eight dollars
in roadblocks? How insane that is?

944
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:30.760
Right? Like so I think he's
learning a little bit with that. Yeah,

945
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:33.760
but you know what he could do
is he could use this the API

946
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:40.599
that Roadblocks has connect his Roadblocks account
to one of these external gambling sites.

947
01:05:40.679 --> 01:05:44.239
Take those robocks, go there,
gamble, make a ton of money on

948
01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:45.679
that, take that back in the
roadblocks, and now he's got a lot

949
01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:51.639
more money. Something that does happen, and it does work. So I

950
01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:59.199
promise you he has seen videos where
like he has been indirectly encouraged to do

951
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:03.920
something like that without and like and
look like at some point, I know

952
01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:06.480
you can say, like, well, hey, we can't blame the people

953
01:06:06.519 --> 01:06:10.840
who are just caught up in the
business model of this thing. But like,

954
01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:15.639
I know, but again, it's
like it's a it's a very difficult

955
01:06:15.719 --> 01:06:18.320
Yeah, don't you don't have to
give in to the to the worst of

956
01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:23.440
course, not, of course not, but like, god damn it,

957
01:06:24.079 --> 01:06:29.679
Yep, roadblocks continues to be terrifying. And I can't wait maybe five ten

958
01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:34.599
years down the line to see the
documentary detailing and breaking apart roadblocks, just

959
01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:40.440
like developers in a dark room or
people that are now entering their late twenties.

960
01:06:40.599 --> 01:06:44.880
Like you know, I've played roadblocks
when I was six and uh bankrupted

961
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:47.039
my whole family, spent my grandpa's
fortune, my trust, I spent my

962
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:54.599
trust on to adopt people. I
can't wait for that, and you don't

963
01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:57.199
have to wait anymore. Okay,
yes, back, Look, I'm sorry,

964
01:06:57.239 --> 01:06:59.360
I'm sorry. I know you're saying
we was gonna kick ass. I'm

965
01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:02.440
sorry. I yearned for the beat
him ramping up to it, and I

966
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:05.639
was just like, hey, can
I stand here. It's like interrupted the

967
01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:09.199
DJ right before he's about to drop
the beat. What's wrong with you?

968
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:15.679
DJs are bad? A dab i
uh. I yearned for the days of

969
01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:17.679
like him spending all that money on
blue acorns? Do you remember that from

970
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:23.840
Trials? Like I miss I miss
I missed those day I was back in

971
01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:27.360
front of him. Yeah, I
miss those days. I look back on

972
01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:30.440
them fondly and think, Yeah,
you're like, there's something missing from your

973
01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:33.159
life. You know what it is? It's the room the motorcycle fun.

974
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:38.519
Whenever my wife hears that sound,
she gets very upset because because I will

975
01:07:38.559 --> 01:07:41.079
do the same jump a million times
trying to hit it, and it's just

976
01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:45.519
like, so you's here or crash, crash a thousand times in a day.

977
01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:50.119
So yeah, that's probably pretty annoying. It's time for I know the

978
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:54.519
segue new Trials. We we already. We didn't steer into the skid,

979
01:07:54.599 --> 01:07:59.000
We just full and turned around and
flipped over. But anyway, you don't

980
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:01.480
need to wait any more. Are
who watch the new Honest game trailers that

981
01:08:01.639 --> 01:08:06.679
is just out now? Bailey Myers
thirteen minutes ago. Yeah, I can

982
01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:12.280
do two things at once. There
we go get the bare footie. But

983
01:08:12.360 --> 01:08:15.479
it's all right. The new Honest
Game Trailers is out now, folks watching

984
01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:20.279
live. We will not be talking
over Opening Night Live because it will interfere

985
01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:26.439
with the podcast, but we'll probably
do like a trailer trash trailer park enough

986
01:08:27.039 --> 01:08:30.279
round up. Yeah, if there
is enough, I mean, Greb,

987
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:33.159
we'll probably talk about on Game Miss
Mornings throughout the week. Anyway, you

988
01:08:33.479 --> 01:08:36.880
have something really big happens during the
show, I'll drop it in. It's

989
01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:40.640
fine, but we'll definitely we'll do
a round up on Game Mess Mornings and

990
01:08:40.680 --> 01:08:44.720
then if there is enough cool stuff
that we'll get the crew together and we'll

991
01:08:44.760 --> 01:08:47.159
do a trailer trash round up.
Yes, Tam and Lucy are on the

992
01:08:47.239 --> 01:08:53.520
ground now at Opening Night Live,
hanging out with the Beyonce of video games,

993
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:58.079
Jeff Keeley himself. But I gotta
go take quick breaking break and we'll

994
01:08:58.239 --> 01:09:08.640
be back with the news. What's
the trailer? What's trailer? And we're

995
01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:17.159
back with the news, Jeff take
it away. Yeah, you all right.

996
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:26.119
I'm not I'm not doing now.
I'm upset because Happy trails to Charles

997
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:30.640
Martiney. Charles martine the voice of
Nintendo's Mario for over twenty five years,

998
01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:33.159
will no longer voice the character,
and it's transitioning to a new role as

999
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:39.199
Mario Ambassador. Nintendo announced. In
this capacity, Martine will continue to engage

1000
01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:43.039
with fans around the world, but
we'll step back from voice acting in games.

1001
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.000
Speculation about this change had grown since
June, when some fans noticed the

1002
01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:50.199
difference in Mario's voice in recent trailers
for Super Mario Brothers wonder I of course

1003
01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:53.680
was like, no, that's impossible. It's always going to be Charles Martiney

1004
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:57.439
and I was very wrong. The
decision may also be related to casting Chris

1005
01:09:57.560 --> 01:10:00.800
Pratt as Mario in the upcoming Super
pre In the previously released Super Mario Brothers

1006
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:05.039
movie, where martine only has a
cameo, I think it more likely than

1007
01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:09.520
that has to do with him being
sixty seven years old ready to retire,

1008
01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:13.159
and I think this is a cool
thing if he got to, like go

1009
01:10:13.279 --> 01:10:15.600
out on his terms and it's still
going to get a paycheck from Nintendo to

1010
01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:19.640
do fun things like travel and go
say hi to fans. Uh. Still,

1011
01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:23.520
though it's the it's the end of
an era like thing. Eventually things

1012
01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:29.039
have to change. I definitely didn't
like notice the new voice in the in

1013
01:10:29.119 --> 01:10:31.000
the Wonder trailer when I was listening, like, oh, I'm sure that's

1014
01:10:31.039 --> 01:10:33.520
just a new recording, new new
direction or something like that. Like,

1015
01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:38.560
no, that's someone's still trying to
sound like what Charles martine made Mario sound

1016
01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:41.439
like. So for the most part, you know, yeah, things will

1017
01:10:41.640 --> 01:10:44.880
be different, but they're still gonna
be mostly the same. I don't know

1018
01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:48.560
that Charles Martiney did the a lot
of other voices in Nintendo Warrio and like

1019
01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:51.680
at all the characters from the Warrior
Ware games stuff like that. The New

1020
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:55.960
Dragonball movie, he was fantastic,
Was he really? I didn't know that

1021
01:10:56.439 --> 01:11:00.159
he was. He was Magenta,
he was the bad guy, he was

1022
01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:03.319
crazy, he's he's he is an
actual Like people are like he just does

1023
01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:05.840
that one voice remark. It's like
no, he's a real voice actor and

1024
01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:10.600
has a huge range and could do
anything. I mean, yes, in

1025
01:11:10.680 --> 01:11:14.319
the supermar Brothers movie where he's like, here's my just normal accent when I

1026
01:11:14.359 --> 01:11:16.560
played his father and stuff like that. But uh yeah, sixty seven time

1027
01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:20.039
to retire and do some fun stuff
for Nintendo. I think that's that's pretty

1028
01:11:20.079 --> 01:11:23.920
cool. So happy trails to him
for sure. When you when you said,

1029
01:11:24.359 --> 01:11:27.960
uh, when you even mentioned the
Chris Prett, Like, where's that

1030
01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:31.279
coming from. I mean, that's
speculation from some of the reporting, but

1031
01:11:31.439 --> 01:11:35.000
I don't think that's real. I
don't think that has anything to do with

1032
01:11:35.239 --> 01:11:40.560
Uh, it's not Chris Prett's fault. Chris Prett didn't come be like this

1033
01:11:40.680 --> 01:11:45.119
is my turf now, bitch,
like that didn't for anything. And I

1034
01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:48.319
don't think he had anything to do
with this. I think he's an innocent

1035
01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:54.479
standard and this sixty seven year old
successful man being like I'm kind of tired,

1036
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:56.760
I'm done, I don't want to
do it anymore. Yeah, that

1037
01:11:56.800 --> 01:12:00.960
makes it not me anymore, doesn't
do it because he's fucking retired. He's

1038
01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:08.079
done. We pay we get an
old Mario game. No, we're gonna

1039
01:12:08.079 --> 01:12:11.239
get an old Mario game after this
at the end of the Switches life and

1040
01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:15.239
Mario no'll just be like Logan but
Mario, Yeah, it would be great.

1041
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:19.520
He's like, Mario is gonna have
to carry Toad around because Toad it

1042
01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:24.479
just keeps pooping himself and can't can't
keep control of himself. And then he's

1043
01:12:24.520 --> 01:12:28.319
gonna get like a little Mario child
that isn't his. But maybe is his

1044
01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:32.199
It's gonna be great. That sounds
very good. I feel like, uh,

1045
01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:34.760
you know, I would have liked
the scene, or maybe they do.

1046
01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:39.000
They make a bigger deal of it
for for the guy, right well,

1047
01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:41.760
so that they are that's not I
don't have it written down here in

1048
01:12:41.800 --> 01:12:45.279
the rundown, but that's a good
point. They said that him, Charles

1049
01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:48.199
Martinet and Miamoto will do a video
that will do together where they talk about

1050
01:12:48.239 --> 01:12:51.039
this and maybe kind of like look
back on his career and kind of give

1051
01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:58.520
him a real sendoff in the near
future. Today's date on it. He's

1052
01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:02.279
not gay to Miomoto space, that's
right, He's there's almost always a direct

1053
01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:06.199
in September. There's probably gonna be
I've heard there's a direct in September probably,

1054
01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:10.720
so they will probably do it there, which I think makes it.

1055
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:13.640
And then at the same time,
Charles Martineo probably will show up at that

1056
01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:18.479
Nintendo Live event in Seattle doing his
Mario Ambassador stuff. So cool. That's

1057
01:13:18.479 --> 01:13:23.960
stuff that he's been doing anyhow for
a long time. I bet that is

1058
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:28.199
the side of the business for him
that continues to make sense because a lot

1059
01:13:28.239 --> 01:13:30.920
of times Nintendo be like we're just
going to use the same recording of you

1060
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:33.840
saying waho from like twenty years ago. We're good. We don't actually need

1061
01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:36.079
you back in the booth. So
I bet that kind of work was like

1062
01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:41.680
inconsistent with Nintendo. So just like
getting a regular paycheck to be the Mario

1063
01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:45.399
ambassador might even be a better deal
in the end than like waiting for them

1064
01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:47.000
to be like all right, here's
a new contract for some new recordings.

1065
01:13:47.079 --> 01:13:51.439
It's like, ah, that's inconsistent, so here he goes, but let's

1066
01:13:51.479 --> 01:13:58.600
go. Microsoft proposed a solution to
its UK regulatory problems. Microsoft has revised

1067
01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:03.479
its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard by
agreeing to sell cloud streaming rights for Activision

1068
01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:09.279
Blizzard games to publisher Ubisoft. The
change aims to address concerns for it from

1069
01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:13.720
the UK regulator, the Competition Markets
Authority, which had blocked the original deal

1070
01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:19.239
over fears of Microsoft potentially dominating cloud
gaming. The restructured transaction grants Ubisoft exclusive

1071
01:14:19.319 --> 01:14:26.119
worldwide, worldwide streaming rights except in
the European Economic Area, for all existing

1072
01:14:26.199 --> 01:14:30.880
and future Activision Blizzard games for the
next fifteen years. The CMA has reiterated

1073
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:33.680
its original decision to block the deal, but will now assess the restructure proposal

1074
01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:39.520
in a new phase one investigation,
ensuring the cloud gaming market remains competitive.

1075
01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:44.640
So this is their solution to that. That the one hurdle that remained.

1076
01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:45.760
Basically, if they get over this, they will be able to close the

1077
01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:49.199
deal without any issue. But UK
was like, no, we're worried about

1078
01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:53.119
cloud gaming. Even though no one
else in the world is worried about cloud

1079
01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:59.079
gaming, UK is, And so
the solution here is Activision Blizzard games for

1080
01:14:59.239 --> 01:15:02.239
streaming will go to Ubisoft and Microsoft
will be hands off. So we just

1081
01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:08.279
in no way could possibly have a
monopoly on that on that market going forward.

1082
01:15:09.640 --> 01:15:12.960
What does this mean for anybody who's
playing games? Not much, It

1083
01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:15.880
just won't mean much. It means
that you'll see a Ubisoft logo if you're

1084
01:15:15.880 --> 01:15:19.960
streaming your games from somewhere. But
yeah, the story of of this acquisition

1085
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:25.119
continues to be like the slow march
to the inevitable it going through. At

1086
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:30.680
this point, it seems like Xbox
is releasing official series X Console raps.

1087
01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:35.520
Microsoft has und hey have you guys
seen this? Actually think it looks really

1088
01:15:35.520 --> 01:15:39.039
good. If you get a chance
to look up the tweet where they announced

1089
01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:43.800
it. Microsoft has unveiled official Xbox
Series X console raps, set to release

1090
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.880
later this year, allowing gamers to
customize their consoles. The raps will be

1091
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:51.640
available in three styles, a Starfield
themed one, Arctic Camo, and Mineral

1092
01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:56.920
Camo. The Starfield rap will be
available on October eighteenth in the United States,

1093
01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:00.680
Canada, and Europe for fifty dollars
or forty five pounds, while the

1094
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:05.119
Cambo variants will be released on November
tenth and forty pounds. Yeah, I

1095
01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:10.920
haven't seen them either. They've blend
in and make your Xbox disappear. They

1096
01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:14.520
are designed specifically for the Xbox Series
X, and they they're made of like

1097
01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:18.720
this. They call it high tech
fabric with like plastics as well. It

1098
01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:23.159
probably would reminds me if you ever
had had a fabric phone case. It

1099
01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:26.399
seems pretty similar to that, but
it wraps around and it fits like perfectly

1100
01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:30.039
on there so that it looks like, Nope, that's just a themed Xbox,

1101
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:31.960
but no, it's wrap. I
like these kinds of things. I

1102
01:16:32.680 --> 01:16:38.119
always want the like, fun looking
consoles, but I'm not going to buy

1103
01:16:38.119 --> 01:16:41.840
a whole new console. In ninety
nine percent of cases, you know,

1104
01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:44.920
three DS being the obvious exception there
for me where I bought a bunch of

1105
01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:49.640
those but wraps in like face plates
and the shells on the PlayStation five,

1106
01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:53.520
I'm all four of that. Is
this something that any of you are considering

1107
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:55.680
doing? Have you guys seen the
Starfield one? I think it looks really

1108
01:16:55.720 --> 01:16:59.920
good. So I'm watching a gift
of the Starfield one being put on an

1109
01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:04.680
Xbox right now, and I am
utterly mesmerized. I yeah, it's had

1110
01:17:04.720 --> 01:17:09.399
an Xbox and then I'll get a
wrap for it. And that's my plan

1111
01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:12.399
for me. This looks great.
I'm just gonna wrap it on, wrap

1112
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:15.520
it. Who needs game exactly?
Yeah, it's so satisfying. Yeah,

1113
01:17:15.119 --> 01:17:18.479
you know, I forgot that.
I also don't have an Xbox, so

1114
01:17:19.079 --> 01:17:24.399
I can't get one of these raps. Yet it looks really snazzy, Like,

1115
01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:28.159
uh, it seems like a no
brainer. They could sell. They

1116
01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:30.159
could sell these in droves, y'all, Like, oh my god, the

1117
01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:38.880
margins they're making on these fucking stickers. Yeah, y'all remember how wild people

1118
01:17:38.920 --> 01:17:42.039
went over face plates? Like,
oh yeah, this is just the natural

1119
01:17:42.079 --> 01:17:45.319
evolution of this. This makes me
wish I just had like a catch all

1120
01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:48.520
outfit like a uniform, you know, like just you could just put put

1121
01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:53.359
like a cover on here. Yeah, oh man, god, this looks

1122
01:17:53.399 --> 01:17:56.560
good. I mean you can look, you can already get stuff like this

1123
01:17:56.720 --> 01:18:00.479
already. I mean there's brand there's
brands out there that do this, you

1124
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:04.760
know least. Yeah, these are
the definitely a little bit different than that,

1125
01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:11.079
and that they are they are higher
quality material and they aren't there that

1126
01:18:11.119 --> 01:18:15.239
they seem reusable to come on and
off. And can you watch color forms?

1127
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:19.000
Huh? Are they color forms?
No, it's like a hard material.

1128
01:18:19.159 --> 01:18:21.399
It's like I said, it's like
a phone case kind of thing.

1129
01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:25.279
So I guess, yeah, all
right, it's now you're you're making me

1130
01:18:25.319 --> 01:18:28.079
think of like, like you said, a fabric phone case kind of thing,

1131
01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:30.319
like, yeah, a plate almost
like an actual plates. Yeah,

1132
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:36.279
basically, Okay. I think that
you can differ because I had a third

1133
01:18:36.359 --> 01:18:42.920
party case shell from my PlayStation four
Pro that made it look like wood paneling,

1134
01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:45.600
and those were on the outside it's
like faux wood, and on the

1135
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:48.760
inside that it was like it was
like sticky material and they get to like

1136
01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:53.399
carefully stick it to each little and
put it together and it looked great in

1137
01:18:53.439 --> 01:18:55.840
the end, but it was like, that was a hassle and there was

1138
01:18:55.880 --> 01:18:57.920
a lot of work and I'm not
gonna be able to change that. This

1139
01:18:58.079 --> 01:19:01.319
does feel much more like face play
modular. Yeah, you like you wrap

1140
01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:04.199
it around the back. It's like
it's like put an underwear on an Xbox.

1141
01:19:04.239 --> 01:19:05.920
Honestly, what is it? Looks
like you just put it on and

1142
01:19:06.079 --> 01:19:09.920
you just take it off. You
put on it looks like you're swaddling an

1143
01:19:10.119 --> 01:19:15.640
Xbox, right, swaddling good Xbox. You just go to sleep. I

1144
01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:18.159
like it. Stick sticker ones always
make me nervous. I'm like, what

1145
01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:23.680
if I change as a person and
regret doing this and right it inevitably?

1146
01:19:25.039 --> 01:19:28.720
Yeah, it's gonna tear. That's
makes me uncomfortable. I won't even put

1147
01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:31.279
a fandom sticker on my work laptop. I'm like, what if I change?

1148
01:19:31.319 --> 01:19:36.319
Who cares? This is ideal for
me? I love this. I

1149
01:19:36.399 --> 01:19:41.399
will keep watching this animation and listening
to you. I'm guessing all of you

1150
01:19:41.479 --> 01:19:44.479
guys are Camos. Every single one
of you guys are gonna get a Camo

1151
01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:48.640
one. One looks really nice.
Really, I do think the Starfield color

1152
01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:54.119
scheme is is super dope. Kudos
to whoever fucking put that together, and

1153
01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:58.600
you shouldn't design a hockey jersey with
those colors. Regrets to your sweet little

1154
01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:02.399
art boys girls and them's man,
Yep, that's good stuff, all right,

1155
01:20:02.600 --> 01:20:04.279
Yeah, go ahead, Beck,
what we're gonna say, No,

1156
01:20:04.359 --> 01:20:08.159
I'm just gonna say, like,
uh, I don't know. I don't

1157
01:20:08.159 --> 01:20:11.720
know who all these people are with
like their consoles in plain sight, I

1158
01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:15.000
hide them away. I think they're
stupid and ugly. They're all ugly.

1159
01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:19.520
I hate I like talking about us. Yeah, definitely away. Yeah.

1160
01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:24.239
You know you don't want clutter.
You want you want some kind of like

1161
01:20:24.399 --> 01:20:28.119
nice set up. So yeah,
but I like a minimalist design. I

1162
01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:30.880
think I like havin the shells that
show them off. Now at this point,

1163
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.680
why not that's what I got.
I really want a gaudy one that

1164
01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:39.279
is like, I don't know,
slim gym branded and just mix the next

1165
01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:45.079
box. I want like a g
fuel one. I'm at a point now

1166
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:48.279
where I don't want it to be
minimalist and cute. I want it to

1167
01:20:48.319 --> 01:20:53.560
be just a fucking eyesore. Yeah, appeal to me. I want to

1168
01:20:53.640 --> 01:20:59.000
be like, what's that that roadside
restaurant? Yo? Hard ease, give

1169
01:20:59.079 --> 01:21:01.880
me hard ease, or like just
a branded fast food thing. You want

1170
01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:09.560
a cracker barrel, cracker barrel,
gain cracker berry country let's go. Yeah,

1171
01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:15.199
now just like roast beef. Yeah, I have a whole outfit that

1172
01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:19.359
looks like that. Hell yeah,
yes, RB, send it to me

1173
01:21:19.399 --> 01:21:24.479
and here's your Lady Gaga outfit.
There you go. Uh. Starfield Opening

1174
01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:27.800
has leaked. Forty minutes of leakd
footage from the upcoming Starfield game have been

1175
01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:31.800
published online, showing early game playing
character customization options. Multiple YouTube uploads have

1176
01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:36.159
been removed due to copyright claims by
Zinnimax Media, but the footage continues to

1177
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:41.399
circulate on social media. Of course, Uh, the game is coming out

1178
01:21:41.520 --> 01:21:45.560
here very soon. It will people
start seeing it. But basically leaks are

1179
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:47.600
going to be out there. It
turns out what happened here is some people

1180
01:21:47.720 --> 01:21:51.600
just got it early from Walmart.
They just got it weeks early from Walmart,

1181
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:58.239
and they walked out and happening.
It's happening. USA is going to

1182
01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:00.000
do their best to try to square
this. They're not gonna be able to

1183
01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:03.720
succeed, so it's gonna be out
there. The good news is it feels

1184
01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:06.720
a kind of game. It would
be difficult to spoil because people are going

1185
01:22:06.760 --> 01:22:11.079
to do their own adventures a lot
of times. So yeah, it's gonna

1186
01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:15.800
be difficult to actually ruin anyone's time
with that. Alan Wake two's really oh

1187
01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:16.279
yeah, go ahead. No no
no no no no no no no,

1188
01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:20.119
go go go. Allan Wake two's
release date has been pushed back to late

1189
01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:25.840
October. Late October, excuse me, Remany Entertainments postponed the release of Allan

1190
01:22:25.880 --> 01:22:29.840
Wake two by ten days to October
twenty seventh for PS five, Xbox Series

1191
01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:33.119
X and S and PC via the
Epic Game Store, which is Epics publishing

1192
01:22:33.159 --> 01:22:36.800
its White's there. The company explained
that the delay would give players more space

1193
01:22:36.880 --> 01:22:41.159
to enjoy other game launches in October. Like they just said the thing that

1194
01:22:41.279 --> 01:22:45.800
everyone would have realized. Anyhow,
October very busy, and games are trying

1195
01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:46.760
to get out of way out of
the way of each other. This game

1196
01:22:46.840 --> 01:22:51.199
was originally scheduled to launch on the
same day as Spider Man two and Super

1197
01:22:51.239 --> 01:22:55.039
Mario Brothers Wonder I think, or
at least around that that same time in

1198
01:22:55.119 --> 01:22:59.640
that general area. It would have
been real rough. Assassin's Cream Mirage I

1199
01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:01.880
think was also coming around that same
week. And it moved. It moved

1200
01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:04.680
earlier in October, so I'll'm like
two, was like, we'll move later

1201
01:23:04.760 --> 01:23:08.039
in October. As long as it's
before Halloween, will be fine. The

1202
01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:14.039
games now coming out October twenty seven
for Halloween perfect exactly maximize spookiness. Well

1203
01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:16.680
done. Yes, well this gives
you all. This gives you more time

1204
01:23:16.720 --> 01:23:19.800
to finish the new Alone in the
Dark game, which no one will stop

1205
01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:24.680
talking about, right what? Yeah, yeah, Alone the Dark coming out

1206
01:23:24.920 --> 01:23:28.800
in October as well, that's not
the only game coming out, and so

1207
01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:31.199
October very busy, Sasson, Screamarage, Super Mario Brothers, Wonder, Marvel,

1208
01:23:31.239 --> 01:23:34.640
Spider Man two, Detective Peak Or
two, Returns, forts A Motorsport,

1209
01:23:34.680 --> 01:23:39.239
Hot Wheels, Unleashed two, Metal
Gear, Solid Master Collection, Alone

1210
01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:42.640
in the Dark, ghost Runner two. I feel like I forgot some but

1211
01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:45.359
Alone in the Dark just it feels
like it doesn't stand a chance. I

1212
01:23:45.359 --> 01:23:48.439
don't think anyone's gonna play that.
Yeah, I don't know. We'll see.

1213
01:23:49.680 --> 01:23:54.560
Oh and let's see in Bailey's l
Jan's B Day, Jan's B Day.

1214
01:23:54.600 --> 01:23:57.039
Excuse me, I didn't know who's
right in that. There we go

1215
01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:00.279
a potential Tech and eight release date, appears online. The release date for

1216
01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:05.319
tech and eight has apparently been leaked
online and is slated for January twenty six,

1217
01:24:05.399 --> 01:24:11.680
twenty twenty four. According to a
reliable leaker, uh, I don't

1218
01:24:11.720 --> 01:24:16.159
know, aggio, no MOMENTI lumina. That's my favorite spell in Harry Potter.

1219
01:24:17.680 --> 01:24:21.279
That's all what a that's a fucking
cool name. All right, all

1220
01:24:21.359 --> 01:24:29.159
right, let's all take a stab
at saying this real quick. It sounds

1221
01:24:29.199 --> 01:24:31.640
like Latin, all right, all
right, back of the dead Bailey,

1222
01:24:31.720 --> 01:24:40.000
you go first? No, no
a journament? That sounds better. Okay

1223
01:24:40.039 --> 01:24:49.279
we shouldn't. Yeah, alright,
definitely this fallow no you got a released.

1224
01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:56.560
Regarding the upcoming fighting game Tekens,
director Katsuhiro Harada has acknowledged minor information

1225
01:24:56.680 --> 01:24:59.880
leaks, but warned that the source
has been mostly identified. Last month,

1226
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:03.760
images from the EVO event appeared to
confirm confirm a roster league giving insights into

1227
01:25:03.880 --> 01:25:08.880
characters and gameplay. Officially announced in
September twenty twenty two, Tech and eight

1228
01:25:08.920 --> 01:25:11.640
has planned for release on PS five, Xbox Series X and S, and

1229
01:25:11.800 --> 01:25:15.159
PCV esteem. We have not heard
of release date up to this point.

1230
01:25:15.159 --> 01:25:18.720
A lot of speculation would be early
next year. There is the Tech and

1231
01:25:18.800 --> 01:25:24.960
World Tour Finals on January twelfth through
through the fourteenth in New Orleans. So

1232
01:25:25.039 --> 01:25:28.760
that's coming up, and then Tech
and eight release right after that. Sounds

1233
01:25:28.840 --> 01:25:33.119
pretty plausible, right They finish up
Tech and Seven's championship, they talk a

1234
01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:38.000
lot about Tech and eight during that
event or around that time, and then

1235
01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:42.159
they released Tech and eight later that
month. That would be very good.

1236
01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:45.159
I would like to see that,
but you know, who knows. Things

1237
01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:48.920
could change. It hasn't been confirmed. Metal Gear Solid Collection won't run at

1238
01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:54.439
four k. Coonami has clarified the
target resolutions for the Metal Gear Solid Collection,

1239
01:25:55.159 --> 01:25:58.920
with most platforms aiming for ten ADP
at sixty frames per second, except

1240
01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:01.920
for the Nintendo Switch, which will
target ten ADP at thirty frames per second

1241
01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:05.880
in doct mode and seven twenty P
at thirty frames per second in handheld mode.

1242
01:26:06.159 --> 01:26:09.960
The collections, set to be released
on October twenty fourth, includes the

1243
01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:13.920
first three middle Gear Solid games,
the original MSX two versions, and a

1244
01:26:13.960 --> 01:26:17.520
nes excuse me in ans games.
Additional content like digital graphic novels and strategy

1245
01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:23.479
guides will be included as well.
I think it's a little a little annoying

1246
01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:26.880
that that the games aren't being up
rest to four K, but also at

1247
01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:30.319
the same time, none of these
games were originally done even at like HD

1248
01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:33.319
levels for most of them, so
getting them at ten ADP is it's gonna

1249
01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:36.199
be fine, it's gonna look fine. Uh, it does feel like the

1250
01:26:36.279 --> 01:26:40.560
switch should be able to run like
Middle Gear Solid one, it's sixty frames

1251
01:26:40.600 --> 01:26:46.800
per second. That's that seems wild
and just maybe someone's lazy. Maybe someone

1252
01:26:46.800 --> 01:26:50.760
doesn't know how to do it.
Yeah, maybe they don't know how to

1253
01:26:50.800 --> 01:26:54.000
go into the presets, you know, yeah, because that's what it's like,

1254
01:26:54.199 --> 01:26:56.920
right, Yeah, they didn't.
They just didn't hit hit the button

1255
01:26:57.079 --> 01:27:01.079
in the in retro arch to get
the ten A E sixty on the easy

1256
01:27:01.960 --> 01:27:06.079
Gods, come on the switch,
Yeah, come on, flip the switch

1257
01:27:06.119 --> 01:27:11.439
on the switch. Flip the switch
switch. That is like that. It's

1258
01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:15.199
definitely the case here though. These
are just straight up ports. Don't expect

1259
01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:18.720
anything more like for Metal Gear Solid, don't expect widescreen four K support of

1260
01:27:18.760 --> 01:27:23.399
any kinds. It's going to be
that original game just right in there.

1261
01:27:23.439 --> 01:27:27.159
But that's that's fine. At least
they're like at least these games are back

1262
01:27:27.199 --> 01:27:30.039
available for sale for years now,
they have not been, so this is

1263
01:27:30.119 --> 01:27:32.920
better than nothing, which was the
alternative. Here, give me that sweet

1264
01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:38.119
four by three. Baby. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm maybe a better ratio.

1265
01:27:38.399 --> 01:27:41.960
Actually four by three and sixteen nine
I might be going back. I'm

1266
01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:45.239
sorry, I'm sorrying, What did
you just say? Four by three?

1267
01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:46.880
I love four by three? Great? Yeah, four by three in like

1268
01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:53.199
a nostalgic like, oh no,
you do a fun like the throwback,

1269
01:27:53.880 --> 01:27:57.720
because I think it's we're seeing too
much, you know. I agree,

1270
01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:02.520
because like I don't want like vertical
sixteen by nine and of course horizontal sixteen

1271
01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:05.159
by nine. I think for four
by three is like a good middle ground

1272
01:28:05.479 --> 01:28:11.960
where it's like it is both vertically
pleasing and horizontally pleasing. I aim to

1273
01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:15.840
be vertically pleasing. I disagree.
I disagree in every sense of the words.

1274
01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:19.920
On all sellar aspect ratio. You're
allowed to feel wrong about it.

1275
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:23.760
Yes, you don't have to stop
at sixteen by nine, go go go

1276
01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:27.239
thirty two by nine, go super
ultra back. No, I don't need

1277
01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:31.479
it to be like panoramic. I'm
just saying sixteen by nine seems to work

1278
01:28:31.560 --> 01:28:35.680
well with the position of our horizontal
eyes right, like they're laid out that

1279
01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:39.319
way. It makes sense. Yeah, again, I think I see too

1280
01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:44.000
much. You know, I'm all
about tunnels. Yeah, I can't.

1281
01:28:44.159 --> 01:28:47.279
I stopped being focused as soon as
the world went wide screen. It's the

1282
01:28:47.399 --> 01:28:50.720
worst. I mean, you watch
those old shows on wide screen and they

1283
01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:56.000
just have the edges in there where
you can see the equipment and stuff.

1284
01:28:56.319 --> 01:28:59.640
That's how I feel when I don't
spend enough time with four by three things.

1285
01:28:59.720 --> 01:29:01.760
I'm I need more, I need
more stuff. That's a little squarer

1286
01:29:02.119 --> 01:29:08.039
for me. Yeah, you were
all insane people with microphones. I don't

1287
01:29:08.119 --> 01:29:15.319
understand the phone away from me.
You've been watching movies in the theater.

1288
01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:18.720
Your entire lives in sixteen by nine, their entire lives movies. They're not

1289
01:29:18.800 --> 01:29:24.479
sixteen by nine. They're like or
they're anamorphics, so they're even even condensed

1290
01:29:24.520 --> 01:29:26.800
more. What do you mean?
Yeah, yeah, they're wider, Yes,

1291
01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:30.520
exactly. The most are water.
How much more pleasing things that were

1292
01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:34.800
almost a square would be, you
know posts almost square? Oh? Such,

1293
01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:39.840
the such the right shape for stuff. Yeah, it's good. Yeah,

1294
01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:42.560
it's the shape stuff pleaser. Think
about it. You know, you're

1295
01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:46.359
watching a movie or a video on
your phone, but you can continue scrolling

1296
01:29:46.399 --> 01:29:54.760
and doing other stuff. This reminds
me of the fucking argument with the smoothing

1297
01:29:55.039 --> 01:30:00.920
n HDTVs at all. This is
the magic Quibby, and this is why

1298
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:03.479
we got to bring Quibby back,
because you could turn that horizontal or vertical

1299
01:30:03.520 --> 01:30:09.880
and it worked in either aspect ration
fail. I hear the reason of things

1300
01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:15.439
that were barely alive. Remember h
Q right the trip. Did you guys

1301
01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:17.760
watch the documentary? Someone made a
documentary about it. It was really good.

1302
01:30:17.880 --> 01:30:20.199
Yeah, it was good. Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah,

1303
01:30:20.960 --> 01:30:24.439
talked about it in the film cast. Shouts out to the film cast.

1304
01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:30.479
That's neat. I'd like to watch
that one day. Where is it available?

1305
01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:34.720
Do we know I have? It's
on quibble Yeah, No, I

1306
01:30:34.800 --> 01:30:39.479
think it's on who. I don't
know. I still Hulu. I haven't

1307
01:30:39.479 --> 01:30:45.279
canceled it. Yeah, that's right, that's what they call Hulu. That's

1308
01:30:45.319 --> 01:30:48.920
awesome, Bailey. Microsoft has ended
Connect production, which they were somehow still

1309
01:30:48.960 --> 01:30:55.199
making. Microsoft has announced the discontinuation
of its Connect hardware production, including the

1310
01:30:55.319 --> 01:31:00.520
latest iteration Azure Connect, released in
twenty nineteen for enterprise software and AI use.

1311
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:05.680
The Azure Connect featured advanced capabilities beyond
the Xbox versions. Microsoft will now

1312
01:31:05.800 --> 01:31:11.319
provide the technology to third party partners
to create their own alternatives. Although Connect

1313
01:31:11.439 --> 01:31:15.079
was known for gaming purph roles on
Xbox, it found diverse uses in fields

1314
01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:18.399
like academia and robotics, as Your
Connect devices will be sold until the end

1315
01:31:18.439 --> 01:31:23.840
of October and the companies that own
one can still access its development software after

1316
01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:28.319
that point. Despite a mixed reception
and gaming Connect, Connect technology has been

1317
01:31:28.399 --> 01:31:32.840
integrated into products like the UK Skyglass
TVs and it's still like medical medical equipment

1318
01:31:32.880 --> 01:31:35.159
and all kinds of other things like
that. Connect actually popped up in a

1319
01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:40.840
lot of weird places like ghost out
of the museums, like yeah, like

1320
01:31:41.039 --> 01:31:45.800
interactive dance floors, things like that. You know, it showed up in

1321
01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:50.880
every place except your living room,
right exactly. I always liked the idea

1322
01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:55.439
of like Connect getting that second life, but then it's I don't know,

1323
01:31:55.479 --> 01:32:01.920
I never really moved second I think
only the second life. Now through Connect,

1324
01:32:01.920 --> 01:32:08.279
you gotta have a connect that More
details arise on Immortals, Phoenix Risings

1325
01:32:08.319 --> 01:32:12.960
Canceled Sequel. More details have emerged. Codenamed Oxygen, The project was going

1326
01:32:13.039 --> 01:32:16.720
to explore a fictionalized version of the
Polynesian archipelago, something we talked about a

1327
01:32:16.800 --> 01:32:21.399
while ago on Game mess Mornings,
including locations such as New Zealand, Tahiti,

1328
01:32:21.520 --> 01:32:26.399
Easter Island, and Hawaii. The
protagonist would have had the ability to

1329
01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:30.199
gain powers from Polynesian gods and shape
shift. Oh, that's cool. Would

1330
01:32:30.239 --> 01:32:32.920
have been very cool. A distinct
feature feature of Oxygen was to avoid quest

1331
01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:38.479
markers, leading players to find their
way by tracking animals or studying stars,

1332
01:32:39.000 --> 01:32:44.479
which that sounds awesome and Ubisoft Quebec
was responsible for the original game canceled the

1333
01:32:44.520 --> 01:32:48.319
sequel. Ubisoft canceled the sequel earlier
this month, citing challenges in establishing the

1334
01:32:48.399 --> 01:32:53.720
IP. The cancelation lines with Ubisoft
shift in focus to its biggest ips in

1335
01:32:53.800 --> 01:32:59.159
life services after weaker holiday sales.
This is a studio that is going to

1336
01:32:59.279 --> 01:33:03.520
be one hundred percent on the Assassins
screen machine once again, and streaming now

1337
01:33:03.640 --> 01:33:08.920
apparently yes, and streaming call duty
games. Yet, if any, if

1338
01:33:08.960 --> 01:33:12.680
any studio can afford to split their
focus, it's the ones that reliably put

1339
01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:19.640
games out on time every time.
This is uh yeah, I liked.

1340
01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:23.880
I thought that first game was okay
with a lot of problems, and it

1341
01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:27.880
was, but they easily could have
taken that foundation. It turned into something

1342
01:33:28.039 --> 01:33:30.399
very cool. I think with this
and everything seemed to be lining up all

1343
01:33:30.439 --> 01:33:34.359
these really good ideas here. But
yeah, they you justlf afraid of these

1344
01:33:34.439 --> 01:33:41.920
kinds of games. Now they are
making eleven twelve Assassin's Creed games. That's

1345
01:33:41.960 --> 01:33:45.319
what the excuse me? Eleven Assassin's
Creed projects. Many of those are games.

1346
01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:48.119
Some of them are going to be
like anime. I guess I don't

1347
01:33:48.159 --> 01:33:53.359
know. It's such it's such a
bummer because you know, we don't see

1348
01:33:53.399 --> 01:33:59.560
that setting in a lot of video
games, if at all, especially Scout.

1349
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:03.279
I know you're upset about no polynes
poly uh representation as well, but

1350
01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:06.680
hey, Scout doesn't want Assassin's Creed
fifty eight. Like, come on,

1351
01:34:08.279 --> 01:34:12.359
how many okay, ballpark many times
can we dive off those roofs? How

1352
01:34:12.439 --> 01:34:15.439
many? How many Assassins Creed games
do you think there are? Just like

1353
01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:23.600
ballpark games? I think there's twenty
came out. Yeah, I would say

1354
01:34:23.640 --> 01:34:27.520
probably like fifteen. Just I think
we think we counted this. Actually,

1355
01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:30.239
if you're doing like them, if
you're doing the main ones, don't don't

1356
01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:34.359
count. I'm counting everything. I'm
counting like there's like a mobile one,

1357
01:34:34.560 --> 01:34:40.840
right, like a PSP one probably
right there. There's twelve main games,

1358
01:34:41.079 --> 01:34:46.239
seventeen spinoff games, several short films, and various transpia projects according to Google,

1359
01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:50.680
I mean according to the random wiki. Sorry, plugging, plugging the

1360
01:34:50.720 --> 01:34:57.000
plug. That is an ip that
I am like constantly, uh staggered at

1361
01:34:57.720 --> 01:35:01.720
its popularity, Like you know,
if like the movie was a was dead

1362
01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:06.640
on arrival, like what other thing
would give you? I mean, obviously,

1363
01:35:06.760 --> 01:35:10.439
I mean apparently, look, there's
a reason they make the decision.

1364
01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:14.479
It obviously sells well enough to invest
that kind of money. But like I'm

1365
01:35:15.439 --> 01:35:18.439
I'm speechless as to why it continues
to be a thing. I'm also so

1366
01:35:19.039 --> 01:35:24.000
out of touch with what is currently
happening in Assassin's Creed because like the last

1367
01:35:24.039 --> 01:35:29.199
time I was paying attention, Kristen
Bell was still involved and I don't think

1368
01:35:29.279 --> 01:35:38.199
she's popped, not really, you
know, like other significant roles. Yes,

1369
01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:41.359
yeah, does the animal still matter? Is that still a thing we

1370
01:35:41.479 --> 01:35:44.439
worry about? Yeah, it's like
takes different forms now, I think,

1371
01:35:44.840 --> 01:35:48.119
yeah, wait, what happened in
Desmond? I still remember that first game

1372
01:35:48.159 --> 01:35:53.279
where you like find out what's going
on and just like I remember audibly slapping

1373
01:35:53.359 --> 01:35:57.399
my forehead so loud. Yeah,
I mean it's a dumb premise, but

1374
01:35:57.880 --> 01:36:00.720
at that point it's fine. Look
if people want like to play it and

1375
01:36:00.760 --> 01:36:03.399
they continue doing it, fine.
I think if you feel good that like

1376
01:36:04.119 --> 01:36:13.880
the ridiculous like directive of like a
publisher developer to remain infinitely profitable forever and

1377
01:36:13.960 --> 01:36:18.199
ever forces all this ship to become
watered down to the same goddamn thing over

1378
01:36:18.239 --> 01:36:20.960
and over again. If you're if
that's what you get excited about and you're

1379
01:36:21.000 --> 01:36:25.199
happy about that, I don't know
what to tell you. You Also,

1380
01:36:25.640 --> 01:36:30.399
you're gonna love Drive to your life. You also just described Madden FIFA Slash

1381
01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:34.000
Football Club every annual release. Yeah, but I think sports games are in

1382
01:36:34.079 --> 01:36:38.479
a different category. Like I realized
I just said the whole thing. But

1383
01:36:38.600 --> 01:36:42.560
like sports are different. They're they're
they just are. There's different players that

1384
01:36:42.680 --> 01:36:45.640
come in. There's you know,
yeah, Assassins Creed. It's a different

1385
01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:54.239
player that comes in. I think
they're in Assassin's Creed. Yeah. I

1386
01:36:54.279 --> 01:36:57.840
mean, look like you're talking to
someone who actively hates and the NHL series,

1387
01:36:57.880 --> 01:37:01.439
So like I'm not happy about that, you know, Uh yeah,

1388
01:37:02.479 --> 01:37:06.239
Assassin's Creed. I know it's still
very popular. They still sell a lot.

1389
01:37:06.319 --> 01:37:10.680
They're gonna keep making them. But
I'm I'm definitely getting to a point

1390
01:37:10.760 --> 01:37:15.560
where maybe I might check out Mirage, but I'm not like like craving it.

1391
01:37:15.720 --> 01:37:17.239
And then what you're gonna tell me, there's gonna be like ten more

1392
01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:21.600
of these games of different stripes,
like in the next ten years. That's

1393
01:37:21.640 --> 01:37:26.399
gonna wear it out pretty quickly,
I think. So, yeah, yeah,

1394
01:37:27.079 --> 01:37:28.920
all right, that does it for
the news, Jen, I'm handing

1395
01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.159
the show back over to you.
Well, I'm gonna look at it and

1396
01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:36.640
still decide and wonder where Kristen Bell
has been for the last ten plus years.

1397
01:37:38.199 --> 01:37:41.159
And then we're gonna go take a
quick breaking break, be back with

1398
01:37:41.319 --> 01:37:53.199
some emails. I can't stop thinking
about emails and saying, God, go

1399
01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:58.359
to the email section. We did
it email timing. Wow, I know

1400
01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:01.800
right, I just had a hank
in an itch to read some emails from

1401
01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:05.640
you, the fine folks at home
BombCast at giant bomb dot com is email

1402
01:38:05.640 --> 01:38:11.880
address to send those electronic mails too. You can send a whole slew of

1403
01:38:12.039 --> 01:38:15.880
things, a wide variety of topics. I'll pick them, I'll answer them,

1404
01:38:15.000 --> 01:38:18.119
will answer them. I'll if you
write a nice email about someone on

1405
01:38:18.199 --> 01:38:20.760
the staff, nine times out of
ten, I'll a forward it to that

1406
01:38:20.840 --> 01:38:24.880
person. So if you want to
give a specific special shout out to someone,

1407
01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:28.119
I'll go do it. I'll do
it. Also, Hey, have

1408
01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:32.399
out at the shout outs up to
fifty not just fifty. I see what

1409
01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:39.840
you're doing, you jerks. God, Okay, here's here's a wild idea.

1410
01:38:40.000 --> 01:38:43.319
Here's a wild idea, because you
know I'm full of them, million

1411
01:38:43.359 --> 01:38:46.119
dollar idea. Here at the PAXs
panel, We're going to pass around a

1412
01:38:46.159 --> 01:38:49.880
clipbird that will be a Google doc
and that's how we'll read the shout outs.

1413
01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:53.399
All right, We'll just have a
giant bomb clibbered, pass it around

1414
01:38:53.439 --> 01:38:57.800
and all that jazz beautiful. I
love it, all right, first email

1415
01:38:59.039 --> 01:39:01.800
come just starts. I'm telling you, dude, we could sell a nice

1416
01:39:01.800 --> 01:39:05.880
clipberd with like a GB logo on
it, a clear clipbord. And then

1417
01:39:06.039 --> 01:39:14.479
are you saying clipboard? Yeah,
clip clipberd, Bailey. We don't need

1418
01:39:14.520 --> 01:39:16.720
to relitigate this, all right?
Do you say cupboard when you go to

1419
01:39:16.840 --> 01:39:20.279
the cup of board, I don't
go to the cupboard. Jeff on a

1420
01:39:20.359 --> 01:39:29.359
homes got a pile of cups in
your corner. Hell yeah, let's go.

1421
01:39:30.840 --> 01:39:34.960
I mean, we don't have time
for me to re explain the logic.

1422
01:39:35.039 --> 01:39:41.640
It's just like we think about think
about it. Why don't we say

1423
01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:45.960
Aristotle like Chipotle? You know,
just let that ruminate for a bit.

1424
01:39:45.159 --> 01:39:48.159
Why don't we say all stuff like
other stuff? I don't know exactly.

1425
01:39:48.279 --> 01:39:53.359
I say cup ons all the time
and people look at me weird. Jeff

1426
01:39:53.359 --> 01:39:57.479
from Quebec City writes in Bombers in
your Hearts, When do you feel like

1427
01:39:57.560 --> 01:40:00.399
autumn starts? For me? It's
the first week into October because the best

1428
01:40:00.479 --> 01:40:04.600
timing to go road tripping and see
all the colors here in Quebec before everything

1429
01:40:04.680 --> 01:40:10.000
falls and we collectively freeze. Shout
out to shout outs. Jeff from Quebec

1430
01:40:10.079 --> 01:40:15.720
City, When does autumn start?
Not soon enough? Am I Jesus Christ?

1431
01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:23.239
Then it's uh, look, the
first week of October's basically when it

1432
01:40:23.319 --> 01:40:27.279
does start. Uh man, that's
our season's work. It's like, well,

1433
01:40:27.399 --> 01:40:32.000
September twenty two, it's like the
last thing set. Yeah, you're

1434
01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:36.199
basically so yes. If you're talking
about like when do people shift mentally that

1435
01:40:36.279 --> 01:40:40.359
first week Octobers when it happens.
Yes, I had a big fight with

1436
01:40:40.600 --> 01:40:45.439
one Vincent James Caravella. Oh did
you lose the fight because he's got big

1437
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:48.880
hands. Yeah, well it was
a it was a van measuring contest.

1438
01:40:48.960 --> 01:40:57.159
No, he fucking he used to
think that like summer was like way,

1439
01:40:57.399 --> 01:41:00.520
oh no, it was summer or
winter. And he was like a month

1440
01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:05.199
off, like literally thirty days off
to when it started. And he just

1441
01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:09.640
like, wouldn't he wouldn't like,
Okay, we want to admit defeat,

1442
01:41:09.920 --> 01:41:12.640
you know, And what way was
he off? Was he saying like he

1443
01:41:12.760 --> 01:41:16.359
said it started a month earlier than
season? Actually did he said? Okay,

1444
01:41:16.479 --> 01:41:19.000
yeah, you know it was winter. You're right because he said Thanksgiving

1445
01:41:19.159 --> 01:41:21.600
was winter. I was like,
no, dude, you could not be

1446
01:41:21.720 --> 01:41:26.159
more wrong. That is very much
autumn. It's very much autumn. In

1447
01:41:26.239 --> 01:41:30.199
fact, winter is like a couple
days before fucking winter. Christmas, Christmas,

1448
01:41:30.279 --> 01:41:33.439
Christmas December twenty first, Yeah,
that's when it starts. That's how

1449
01:41:33.479 --> 01:41:39.920
it works, to be like the
guy that well that I'm saying, that's

1450
01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:43.279
when, Chris, that's why Christmas
is when it's when it when it happens

1451
01:41:43.479 --> 01:41:46.439
December twenty fifth. Because dumbasses in
the past were like, hey, the

1452
01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:49.279
sun keeps going down, We're all
gonna fucking die. And then it's like,

1453
01:41:49.399 --> 01:41:51.439
why is it not going high in
the sky anymore? Is it just

1454
01:41:51.520 --> 01:41:55.880
never the Sun's gonna go away forever? And then the sun like starts going

1455
01:41:55.920 --> 01:41:58.439
back up, and they're like,
okay, maybe it's gonna keep going up

1456
01:41:58.439 --> 01:42:00.880
and it goes back all right,
are never throwing apart? Let's have Christmas?

1457
01:42:00.039 --> 01:42:08.720
And so it's an approximation of what
happened a well established Pigan celebration of

1458
01:42:08.800 --> 01:42:15.560
the winter sol sysm appropriated by another
religion. Sure, yeah, yeahs is

1459
01:42:15.640 --> 01:42:18.039
that the world was kind of end
and now we got Christmas going exactly and

1460
01:42:18.279 --> 01:42:21.520
now I get presents on December twenty
five. Rules. Yeah, I mean

1461
01:42:21.600 --> 01:42:26.760
like you could just call you know, people call things the unofficial start of

1462
01:42:26.880 --> 01:42:30.279
summer, right, which is like, uh, you know, Labor Day,

1463
01:42:30.399 --> 01:42:33.800
right or Memorial Memorial Day? Sorry? Uh so like I understand that,

1464
01:42:34.640 --> 01:42:38.960
but I mean, look, and
it has snowed in November. I'm

1465
01:42:39.079 --> 01:42:43.720
sure, I don't know. I
just that's uh, there's certain things we

1466
01:42:43.800 --> 01:42:45.680
have rules about ladies and gentlemen.
The seasons are one of them. You

1467
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:51.399
kind of get people will point out
the meteorological seasons and how those are different

1468
01:42:51.520 --> 01:42:56.199
than when those like the stars in
the moon and stuff aligns. It's like,

1469
01:42:56.560 --> 01:43:00.239
can season right that. My heart's
still in the school calendar, you

1470
01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:03.520
know, when the kids are in
class, it's it's autumn. When they're

1471
01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:08.399
on winter break, it's winter,
okay, But my kids starts school tomorrow.

1472
01:43:09.439 --> 01:43:14.520
Shit, it's autumn for you tomorrow. No it's not. She's like,

1473
01:43:15.640 --> 01:43:21.199
now, were there, and that's
like you're all you're not going to

1474
01:43:21.279 --> 01:43:24.880
burn to death, Like these kids
are gonna be boiling in that classroom.

1475
01:43:25.000 --> 01:43:29.239
We don't have seasons here. It
is unreliable. I had a hurricane in

1476
01:43:29.279 --> 01:43:32.800
an earthquake two days ago at the
same time. What was the earthquake?

1477
01:43:32.920 --> 01:43:36.279
When you were becoming something fierce?
If guess what's happening to you, what

1478
01:43:36.479 --> 01:43:43.359
was the earthquake? Shook? Because
I know what an earthquake is. I

1479
01:43:43.439 --> 01:43:47.439
mean, what was the what is
the Richter sale? I was I was

1480
01:43:47.600 --> 01:43:50.960
actively streaming when it was happening.
I was playing Slay the Spire. I

1481
01:43:51.000 --> 01:43:54.279
was like, oh, we're wiggling, and then we were back. So

1482
01:43:54.479 --> 01:43:56.680
I don't know. I didn't look
up the number. I was busy slaying

1483
01:43:56.720 --> 01:44:00.119
the spire. It was what was
important. Okay, all right, you

1484
01:44:00.199 --> 01:44:03.520
know it was bad. I did
feel it. It was. It freaked

1485
01:44:03.560 --> 01:44:08.119
my cats out, Oh no,
but I held it together. On stream.

1486
01:44:08.159 --> 01:44:13.279
I was like, whoa, back
to the you know, last time

1487
01:44:13.279 --> 01:44:16.000
we had an earthquake up here.
It happened immediately after I snapped my fingers,

1488
01:44:16.079 --> 01:44:19.359
and that was fun. It was
during a podcast. Yeah, yeah,

1489
01:44:19.479 --> 01:44:25.199
with high Yeah. Have you ever
snapped your fingers before that moment?

1490
01:44:25.520 --> 01:44:30.359
No? Never have you? Since? No, too much power. I

1491
01:44:30.520 --> 01:44:34.680
can't go to slam poetry readings anymore. It's terrible. My stomach dropped when

1492
01:44:34.720 --> 01:44:39.720
that happened because I was like,
oh no, My mind went to the

1493
01:44:39.760 --> 01:44:42.600
worst place, of course, but
also was like, oh god, people

1494
01:44:42.640 --> 01:44:45.760
are gonna rewatch this and be like
this was a thing. You know,

1495
01:44:45.920 --> 01:44:48.920
I don't know, but thankfully for
a while. It's a little baby earthquake,

1496
01:44:49.039 --> 01:44:51.479
right, it's a little baby earthquake. Wasn't much. It's fine,

1497
01:44:51.640 --> 01:44:59.479
It's all right. Next email was
about a little Starfield they write in,

1498
01:45:00.159 --> 01:45:02.840
uh, Robbie writes him. In
recent weeks, lots of outlets have been

1499
01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:08.520
hyping Starfield as if it's guaranteed to
be a great game that has me wondering

1500
01:45:08.960 --> 01:45:13.720
why. Bethesda's last greatest game was
Skyrim, and even that was a buggy

1501
01:45:13.760 --> 01:45:16.399
mess. Followed seventy six was a
travesty of a game. Fallow four was

1502
01:45:16.520 --> 01:45:21.520
derivative, bloated and unfocused sequel,
full of bugs with a little we've been

1503
01:45:23.159 --> 01:45:29.399
as he with a little we've been
shown of Starfield. It looks very much

1504
01:45:29.520 --> 01:45:34.920
like Fallout four in space and frankly
that fills me with a new and thank

1505
01:45:34.960 --> 01:45:41.920
you Bailey. It's French Trey magnifique. Uh. You guys seem really high

1506
01:45:42.000 --> 01:45:45.359
on Field's promises about what it could
be. Is there something you've been you've

1507
01:45:45.439 --> 01:45:48.600
seen that goes beyond what has been
released? Or is it just blind hope

1508
01:45:48.600 --> 01:45:53.520
it'll be good? Help me understand
I like those games. Fallow four is

1509
01:45:53.520 --> 01:45:56.880
a really good game. Uh well, fat seventy six obviously had problems,

1510
01:45:56.920 --> 01:46:00.199
but Skyrim even that was a buggy
mess. Yeah, like yeah, but

1511
01:46:00.319 --> 01:46:03.920
bugs are fun. Bugs are fun. They're not as long as they're not

1512
01:46:03.960 --> 01:46:09.079
like we're causing you loose saved data
or causing the progression issues, which they

1513
01:46:09.119 --> 01:46:12.600
never did for me in Skyrim.
Bugs are fun. They get the game

1514
01:46:12.680 --> 01:46:15.680
character and I enjoy it, and
that's just how I feel. So if

1515
01:46:15.000 --> 01:46:18.319
if that's like if the promise of
Starfield is there'll be a lot of that

1516
01:46:18.439 --> 01:46:23.039
stuff and it's in space, and
like they're doing like the NASA kind of

1517
01:46:23.119 --> 01:46:26.119
sci fi that we don't get a
lot of. Yeah, that sounds that

1518
01:46:26.199 --> 01:46:30.359
sounds great to me. To me, the bugginess is part of Bethesda's charm,

1519
01:46:30.520 --> 01:46:34.359
like the bugs are a feature,
like it's it's it's sort of who

1520
01:46:34.439 --> 01:46:39.680
will I have an easy sideswipe at
anytime a game that's not beths does Bucky

1521
01:46:39.720 --> 01:46:44.720
watched the new Honest game trailer for
baalds Gate. But yeah, I'm I'm

1522
01:46:44.800 --> 01:46:47.119
expecting it to be buggy and I'm
looking forward to it regardless. I think

1523
01:46:47.159 --> 01:46:50.720
we're allowed to hold both of these
thoughts one in each hand. Yeah that

1524
01:46:51.039 --> 01:46:54.560
said, you know, Skyrim is
like, what one of the biggest selling

1525
01:46:54.600 --> 01:46:59.079
games of all time. It's available
on virtually everything, So like something coming

1526
01:46:59.119 --> 01:47:04.880
out of that studio, we'll probably
be better than Okay, probably, Yeah,

1527
01:47:05.119 --> 01:47:09.279
I mean, yeah, totally.
I think I've like Falling Out three

1528
01:47:09.399 --> 01:47:13.880
better than four thinking back on it, most people did, Yeah, should

1529
01:47:13.920 --> 01:47:17.479
I go play New Vegas at some
point? Yeah, Oh I love Vegas.

1530
01:47:17.960 --> 01:47:21.720
Yeah, I've I've I played it
again recently. I've for for the

1531
01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:26.039
trailer. It is so it is. I consider it to be one of

1532
01:47:26.119 --> 01:47:30.680
my top games. It is a
buggy mess and it's so funky. Are

1533
01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:35.680
you playing and writing such mediocre combat? Do you recommend we can't talk about

1534
01:47:35.720 --> 01:47:39.640
that? Back lar? Why are
you trying to try to blow? Why

1535
01:47:39.640 --> 01:47:44.399
I try to blow the bow?
You could? All right? Sorry,

1536
01:47:45.720 --> 01:47:48.479
put me in put me in jail. I didn't mean to put you in

1537
01:47:48.560 --> 01:47:53.880
jail early before your for your trip. Yeah, it'll be an early vacation.

1538
01:47:55.119 --> 01:47:58.039
People get excited about things before they
come out. People get anxious about

1539
01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:00.920
things before they come out. It's
I mean, everyone deep down knows you

1540
01:48:01.000 --> 01:48:04.640
gotta play it first, or you
really not like getting excited about something?

1541
01:48:04.760 --> 01:48:09.159
Isn't some dangerous thing? What's the
worst thing that happens? You get disappointed

1542
01:48:09.560 --> 01:48:14.800
except with the Kingdom hearts? Well, yes, right, king hearts like

1543
01:48:14.880 --> 01:48:17.319
yeah, that's a whole, that's
a sickness upon itself. Yeah. Oh

1544
01:48:17.439 --> 01:48:20.720
man, they played an idium remix
of Simple and Clean at this wedding.

1545
01:48:20.920 --> 01:48:25.800
You boy almost lost ship. Oh
my god, what good for you?

1546
01:48:26.840 --> 01:48:30.439
It's amazing did it include the intro
We're sore? Is like I have been

1547
01:48:30.560 --> 01:48:34.159
having this strange dream lately. No, but it should have, you know,

1548
01:48:34.239 --> 01:48:41.119
at the weddings. Off the weddings
off, I know it. Redo

1549
01:48:41.239 --> 01:48:45.119
this wedding. Make everyone fly back
in all right. Next email is about

1550
01:48:45.800 --> 01:48:51.000
Gimmick. I'm flashing a helpful image
on the screen right now. This comes

1551
01:48:51.359 --> 01:48:57.079
from Ken, So Marvel finally went
all in with the cool kids. They

1552
01:48:57.199 --> 01:49:00.239
named their new character Gimmick. For
those not looking at a picture, her

1553
01:49:00.279 --> 01:49:04.239
outfit looks like she takes fashion tips
from Gambit parenthesis. She gets a new

1554
01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:08.720
costume later spoilers. She doesn't seem
like a powerful mutant, but she does

1555
01:49:08.800 --> 01:49:14.399
have good leadership skills. We're looking
at the Zoomer cyclops. Sincerely, Ken.

1556
01:49:15.840 --> 01:49:19.000
Yeah it looks cool. Yeah,
that's cool. I'm into it all

1557
01:49:19.079 --> 01:49:25.159
right. Well, I like the
children of the Adam style, that logo

1558
01:49:25.319 --> 01:49:27.840
and then the kind of the art
style that go for for those kinds of

1559
01:49:27.880 --> 01:49:30.720
comics. Always like that. Yo, if you have been out of touch

1560
01:49:30.800 --> 01:49:32.520
with the X Men, you should
read the current run of X Men.

1561
01:49:32.600 --> 01:49:36.600
It's pretty hot and not like hot
and like it's like wait real quick,

1562
01:49:36.640 --> 01:49:41.560
I'm sorry someone just rushed the stage
at a game at Games Come Opening Night

1563
01:49:41.640 --> 01:49:48.800
Live, and Jeff Keeley looks fucking
pissed on. He just is fuming.

1564
01:49:49.079 --> 01:49:54.279
I'll see if I can get a
screen shot of his face. Said,

1565
01:49:54.439 --> 01:49:59.359
why does this keep happening? He
said the same kid. I hope so

1566
01:49:59.479 --> 01:50:00.560
I don't. I actually didn't see
the run on stage. I just saw

1567
01:50:00.600 --> 01:50:03.359
the reaction to it. People are
saying it in chat. Oh man,

1568
01:50:03.600 --> 01:50:10.520
god, I hope Keiley's okay,
like you are so hard to put on

1569
01:50:10.600 --> 01:50:14.000
a good showever, rush is the
stage is okay after Keiley's done with them.

1570
01:50:14.680 --> 01:50:18.000
No, he's going to destroy that
kid. Oh yeah, Oh my

1571
01:50:18.119 --> 01:50:23.279
god. Some guy trying to say
some about g TA six Mike says great,

1572
01:50:23.359 --> 01:50:27.600
what, Oh my god? Everyone
everyone just you have to Oh there's

1573
01:50:27.840 --> 01:50:32.880
girder in those eyes. You have
to. Oh it's not letting me rewind

1574
01:50:32.960 --> 01:50:36.439
on YouTube. He must have that
chained off. I am. I'm gonna

1575
01:50:36.520 --> 01:50:41.479
have a hot take here. And
I think big events should have better security

1576
01:50:41.560 --> 01:50:44.520
than this. I don't think just
randoms should be able to run up to

1577
01:50:44.560 --> 01:50:51.399
the stage cost dollars security, Like
literally, you have enough security there to

1578
01:50:51.479 --> 01:50:55.840
keep you from meeting popcorn or whatever, Like, can you hire people to

1579
01:50:55.960 --> 01:50:59.600
keep people safe? No, that's
against they're not going to do that for

1580
01:50:59.680 --> 01:51:02.359
you. Keuperboy, Keiley is safe
please, Like he's a he's a nice

1581
01:51:02.399 --> 01:51:09.560
man. Yeah that's right, Queen. We've established that he's gonna get off

1582
01:51:09.640 --> 01:51:15.039
stage and he's gonna go ape shit. I but like real talk, I

1583
01:51:15.119 --> 01:51:17.479
could see I could see a dev
that like flew in for this and like,

1584
01:51:17.880 --> 01:51:20.640
no, I don't want to do
anything anymore because like this is twice

1585
01:51:21.079 --> 01:51:26.239
you know, like this. Yeah, right after that, Todd Howard came

1586
01:51:26.279 --> 01:51:28.880
on stage, so it's like he's
got to be like, all right,

1587
01:51:29.359 --> 01:51:31.159
I guess I have to do this
still. Well, now I'm definitely not

1588
01:51:31.239 --> 01:51:35.159
getting a new sky rim Kelly.
I'll lend you Scout. Scout will just

1589
01:51:35.279 --> 01:51:41.479
bark very aggressively at someone approaching you
that, yeah, that's what you need.

1590
01:51:41.600 --> 01:51:45.119
Just a couple cute little dogs that
will people won't go up on stage

1591
01:51:45.119 --> 01:51:48.319
because it'll be too distracted by the
cute little dogs. Exactly. Beautiful Scout

1592
01:51:48.359 --> 01:51:51.920
will just have like a little biker
vest on her with like studs and be

1593
01:51:53.039 --> 01:51:59.920
like the walk around here, buddy. She tripped me the other day.

1594
01:52:00.039 --> 01:52:03.000
She's a little butt head. You
know when you would like check your friends,

1595
01:52:03.119 --> 01:52:06.600
like as you're walking and like kick
the back of their knee and then

1596
01:52:06.640 --> 01:52:10.680
they kind of like crumble over.
She does that a lot. Now it's

1597
01:52:11.039 --> 01:52:15.479
she's terrible. Oh no, one
of them was wearing an Austin three sixteen

1598
01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:21.840
hoodie. Oh no, wrestling's weird
again. No, all right, I

1599
01:52:23.560 --> 01:52:27.520
have I cannot lend any expertise to
this email, but maybe the other folks

1600
01:52:27.600 --> 01:52:30.880
on this panel can. Pete from
Bristol, England writes in Dear GB crew,

1601
01:52:31.399 --> 01:52:35.439
my favorite gaming machine as a kid
was my Amiga five hundred. I

1602
01:52:35.520 --> 01:52:39.840
have so many fond memories of it, and my favorite games were Speedball two,

1603
01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:44.239
Monkey Island, Sensible Soccer, and
Civilization. I recently installed an Amiga

1604
01:52:44.279 --> 01:52:46.640
emulator so I could share some of
these memories with my nine year old son.

1605
01:52:47.319 --> 01:52:51.560
Reactions to these games that I showed
him were a mixture of horror,

1606
01:52:53.079 --> 01:52:57.680
laughter and pity smiley face emoji.
I would love to know one. Did

1607
01:52:57.720 --> 01:53:01.159
any of you have an Amiga or
it's arch rival, the Atarist. If

1608
01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:05.680
so, what were your favorite games
have you shown your childhood Have you showed

1609
01:53:05.680 --> 01:53:09.960
your childhood games to your kids?
Niece's nephews and what was their reaction.

1610
01:53:10.239 --> 01:53:14.159
Keep doing what you're doing. The
podcast is amazing. Best regards, Pete

1611
01:53:14.199 --> 01:53:18.159
from Bristol, England. Maga was
two. It was a little before my

1612
01:53:18.279 --> 01:53:23.439
time. I yeah, I was. Let's say, let's see, I

1613
01:53:23.520 --> 01:53:28.359
had the in television and all these
like the American consoles, we had an

1614
01:53:28.399 --> 01:53:30.520
Atari adapter for the in television stuff
like that. But all of these,

1615
01:53:30.640 --> 01:53:36.600
like UK computer gaming machines, we
missed out on those entirely. I did

1616
01:53:36.680 --> 01:53:42.319
not know about even the Commodore sixty
four, let alone the Amiga or anything

1617
01:53:42.399 --> 01:53:46.159
like that. I played in television
at one of my dad's friends house,

1618
01:53:46.239 --> 01:53:48.760
like that was the thing we did
when we went there, you know,

1619
01:53:48.880 --> 01:53:51.560
you like do those trips. And
you were like, well, at least

1620
01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:56.880
they'll have that weird game box thing
that's still connected to the TV in the

1621
01:53:56.920 --> 01:53:59.560
basement. When I get sure,
Yeah, ok, yeah, so I

1622
01:53:59.640 --> 01:54:03.560
do have like experience within television,
which I guess is cut from the same

1623
01:54:03.680 --> 01:54:06.800
cloth, that's even the same older. Yeah, yeah, that's even older

1624
01:54:06.840 --> 01:54:11.600
than I mean. Yeah, but
I think, like I mean, I

1625
01:54:11.720 --> 01:54:15.800
have shown he hasn't even seen like
Atari, you know, he hasn't even

1626
01:54:15.840 --> 01:54:18.760
seen that. I don't you know. But like I guess he's seen pac

1627
01:54:18.840 --> 01:54:21.960
Man and Space Invaders and that's really
all you kind of get. Yeah,

1628
01:54:23.000 --> 01:54:27.319
and those like suck really bad on
the Atari. So like if we're talking,

1629
01:54:27.600 --> 01:54:30.640
we'll talk about that generation of games. It's just like I get bummed

1630
01:54:30.640 --> 01:54:32.840
out when they don't even care about
any S games. I don't really get

1631
01:54:32.840 --> 01:54:35.399
bummed out, but it's like I
don't even like, I know they're gonna

1632
01:54:35.399 --> 01:54:39.359
get bored with it, so I
don't even try. And and so going

1633
01:54:39.399 --> 01:54:42.359
back to an era that I don't
even care about that much, yeah,

1634
01:54:42.760 --> 01:54:45.600
it's not with it. I think
the interesting discovery that I've made is that

1635
01:54:45.800 --> 01:54:50.840
like where when we were growing up, the thirst was fidelity, right,

1636
01:54:50.920 --> 01:54:55.239
it was like better graphics, better
sound, better everything like that was the

1637
01:54:55.319 --> 01:55:00.439
hot thing that you constantly chased.
Obviously, Like now it's not so much

1638
01:55:00.479 --> 01:55:02.720
the thing like if you just well, you know, look at roadblocks,

1639
01:55:02.840 --> 01:55:06.680
it's it looks like shit, it
looks like actual and kids are like,

1640
01:55:06.760 --> 01:55:10.880
give me, I'm not, I'm
not, I'm not. That's right.

1641
01:55:11.239 --> 01:55:15.760
So yeah, it's interesting. I
should I'll look into Amiga more because people

1642
01:55:15.760 --> 01:55:18.399
have always mentioned that there's some wild
stuff on there. And people in chat

1643
01:55:18.439 --> 01:55:20.159
are saying that too. I'm like, yeah, maybe it's time to go

1644
01:55:20.239 --> 01:55:24.800
back and look at that. Yeah, you know what, I'm curious.

1645
01:55:24.840 --> 01:55:27.399
I have no frame of reference for
what any of it would look like.

1646
01:55:28.520 --> 01:55:31.199
Yeah, it looks like a little
computer. Jan, you and I neither

1647
01:55:31.279 --> 01:55:35.199
of us had motor skills developed,
but by the time this thing was discontinued,

1648
01:55:35.319 --> 01:55:39.880
so it makes total sense that we
didn't have one. When when did

1649
01:55:39.960 --> 01:55:43.680
this come out? Is this is
this pre seven and then discontinued in ninety

1650
01:55:43.760 --> 01:55:46.760
two? Okay, well that barely. Yeah we were still we were still

1651
01:55:46.840 --> 01:55:51.319
soft. Good. Yeah, our
skulls hadn't like fully eighty seven. I

1652
01:55:51.479 --> 01:55:57.319
feel like it's when I got in
an e s that's definitely when this is

1653
01:55:57.520 --> 01:56:00.840
the full on little computer. Actually, yeah, wow, look at this.

1654
01:56:00.279 --> 01:56:03.680
It's yeah, it's cool. I
would rather play Monkey Island on my

1655
01:56:03.760 --> 01:56:08.000
own little computer, but like I
could see if you didn't have another option,

1656
01:56:08.159 --> 01:56:11.520
this looks cute. These these were
the things that were like popular in

1657
01:56:11.560 --> 01:56:14.920
the UK, these kinds of gaming
devices that just looked like little computers,

1658
01:56:15.039 --> 01:56:17.239
like that's what we had. Yeah, I wonder if this is what Lucy's

1659
01:56:17.359 --> 01:56:21.000
dad used. Yeah, I mean
something along these lines for sure. Yes,

1660
01:56:21.760 --> 01:56:26.720
I'm always on Commodore. Okay,
I'm always wondering what Lucy's dad used

1661
01:56:26.760 --> 01:56:32.640
to play games. Uh. Next
email comes from Mike, not our Mike

1662
01:56:33.319 --> 01:56:36.680
darkcum me here, my partner of
almost a decade broke up with me last

1663
01:56:36.720 --> 01:56:41.720
week. Oh shit? Is it
a blessing in disguise due to Balder's Gate

1664
01:56:41.800 --> 01:56:48.520
three on Steam Deck and the eminent
release of Starfield Jesus Christ From Mike no

1665
01:56:48.640 --> 01:56:55.760
longer from Boston, sent from my
own Listen, listen. I don't know

1666
01:56:55.840 --> 01:57:00.439
the circumstances of your decade long relationship, but I gotta say, Mike,

1667
01:57:00.680 --> 01:57:05.159
your pivot, nonchalant as it were, to just joking about being able to

1668
01:57:05.199 --> 01:57:10.159
play video games, leads me to
believe that things were not that serious.

1669
01:57:11.840 --> 01:57:15.800
Look that's all. That's all I'm
saying. Like, maybe maybe you're you

1670
01:57:15.000 --> 01:57:18.600
found an excellent way to look at
the situation and have a sense of humor

1671
01:57:18.640 --> 01:57:21.359
about it. Bless you for it? Sounds like to me, Yeah,

1672
01:57:21.760 --> 01:57:26.720
yeah, that means this dark humor
here, which means yeah, I'm partner

1673
01:57:26.880 --> 01:57:30.199
of almost a decade. Before you
start playing all these games, make sure

1674
01:57:30.239 --> 01:57:33.159
you take care of yourself first and
make sure you're doing all right, and

1675
01:57:33.279 --> 01:57:40.520
then go go nex Starfield. Do
not take care of yourself forget to eat,

1676
01:57:40.600 --> 01:57:45.079
forget to sleep, to shower.
Focus your energy on what's important.

1677
01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:47.840
Fucking the bear. Bear, Fuck
the bear. Yes, make it happen,

1678
01:57:48.560 --> 01:57:53.720
nothing except for fucking the bear.
So definitely try not to get super

1679
01:57:53.800 --> 01:57:58.920
frustrated when the game makes that near
impossible. Get back on the horse and

1680
01:57:59.119 --> 01:58:01.560
fuck the bear the two things.
After a break you can turn into a

1681
01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:08.760
horse. There you turn into a
horse and the ass. Let's go FB.

1682
01:58:10.239 --> 01:58:14.239
This is how you know you gotta
get to rock bottom before you start

1683
01:58:14.319 --> 01:58:17.720
climbing up. My friend, you
know we all have to suffer ego death

1684
01:58:18.039 --> 01:58:24.640
to fully be reborn and everything.
You get the bare bottom, Well,

1685
01:58:25.640 --> 01:58:29.960
all right, get the al right. Next text emails very PGD compared to

1686
01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:31.920
where we took someone getting out of
a long relationship. But Mike, I

1687
01:58:32.000 --> 01:58:36.239
hope you're okay. Uh. This
one is about coffee. Hey, bomb

1688
01:58:36.319 --> 01:58:41.239
cast specifically Jan because of his coffee
fetish, which is a fetish I'm striving

1689
01:58:41.279 --> 01:58:43.880
to have. Hey, let me
let me show you some books. I

1690
01:58:43.960 --> 01:58:47.159
have questions about coffee, specifically espresso. I got a cheapest spresso machine for

1691
01:58:47.239 --> 01:58:49.920
Christmas last year, and I love
it. It's not the best around,

1692
01:58:49.960 --> 01:58:53.600
but it still want to use every
day. I have been sticking with the

1693
01:58:53.720 --> 01:58:58.880
cafe Bostello good good good, it's
good stuff ground being coffee because it is

1694
01:58:58.920 --> 01:59:03.279
specifically labeled espresso. Am I to
understand that I can really use any bean

1695
01:59:03.439 --> 01:59:08.159
provided I grind it fine enough to
make a shot of espresso. I could

1696
01:59:08.199 --> 01:59:11.079
take a bag of beans from a
local coffee shop and use that from my

1697
01:59:11.159 --> 01:59:14.680
coffee. I've been under the impression
I can only use Espresso labeled beans,

1698
01:59:14.720 --> 01:59:17.239
and therefore haven't really tried much other
than that. What are other tips of

1699
01:59:17.319 --> 01:59:21.239
making good espresso on a cheap machine? I don't think I'm I don't think

1700
01:59:21.359 --> 01:59:25.880
I'm legally allowed to take a mortgage
out on my apartment to afford a state

1701
01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:28.960
of the art machine. I've seen
the idea of using a leveler to make

1702
01:59:29.000 --> 01:59:31.399
sure it brewis evenly and soon set
to measure out how much coffee. I'm

1703
01:59:31.479 --> 01:59:35.680
you say that seems like too much
work? Help? We'd love save from

1704
01:59:35.720 --> 01:59:44.680
Pennsylvania, look like it? I
learned in this in this letter, Like

1705
01:59:44.720 --> 01:59:46.560
Wow, this guy really knows this
stuff about the coffee getting too Maybe I

1706
01:59:46.640 --> 01:59:53.399
should measure it like they're probably measuring. It's a great first step even I

1707
01:59:53.520 --> 01:59:57.000
know that one, so maybe do
that. Yeah, it's like the first

1708
01:59:58.960 --> 02:00:04.119
it's got a step this go all
right, Sorry, I missed the conversation.

1709
02:00:04.199 --> 02:00:06.960
What were we talking about before I
abruptly left? Oh, I was

1710
02:00:08.039 --> 02:00:11.920
just saying, it's wild that the
twist at the end that he wasn't even

1711
02:00:12.000 --> 02:00:15.199
measuring his coffee. Continue all right, all right, zay, look me

1712
02:00:15.279 --> 02:00:18.119
in the eyes, buddy, or
hear me in the ears. Let me

1713
02:00:18.319 --> 02:00:21.199
let me channel three. Open your
ears, let let me talk to you.

1714
02:00:21.439 --> 02:00:28.760
Yeah, espresso is just the label. That's just dark beans, buddy.

1715
02:00:28.800 --> 02:00:31.680
You can use any beans. Just
grind it. Fine, it's just

1716
02:00:31.800 --> 02:00:35.760
the it's just the fineness that's it. It's just espresso is a brewing method,

1717
02:00:36.159 --> 02:00:39.399
first of all. Like that's like
you're gonna when you're doing this spread

1718
02:00:39.479 --> 02:00:42.560
like that's so you can put any
bean into that. You don't need espresso

1719
02:00:42.640 --> 02:00:45.319
beans especial going to grind it harder
and then gets you more fucked up.

1720
02:00:45.680 --> 02:00:53.560
Grind it longer, miner, finer, finer, harder, whatever. It's

1721
02:00:53.600 --> 02:00:57.239
like, it's not gonna get you
more fucked up. I mean it will

1722
02:00:57.279 --> 02:00:59.720
get you if you drink a lot
more espresso. Yes, but it's like

1723
02:00:59.760 --> 02:01:01.920
it's it's still going to be like
the same process that it gets you same

1724
02:01:01.960 --> 02:01:04.279
amount of caffeine. Basically, yes, all right, but let me hear

1725
02:01:04.319 --> 02:01:09.319
what you're gonna say. Jan So
espresso beans are just darker roasted beans because

1726
02:01:09.399 --> 02:01:13.640
generally people associate espresso with like tasting
like mud. It doesn't gotta taste like

1727
02:01:13.720 --> 02:01:16.600
mud, y'all. You can floral
undertones. It can like cherries maybe like

1728
02:01:17.039 --> 02:01:21.760
a dark bar of and everything.
You can use any beans. Support your

1729
02:01:21.760 --> 02:01:30.199
local roastery buddies also get one of
these guys like a vacuum stealer thing right

1730
02:01:30.239 --> 02:01:35.359
there, like cherries and the woods. When you were here, I should

1731
02:01:35.359 --> 02:01:40.239
have had you done a coffee makeover. That would have been a good video.

1732
02:01:40.479 --> 02:01:43.039
Let's do it. Let's do it, you know. Uh? I

1733
02:01:43.600 --> 02:01:46.680
also my friend, if you don't
want to get a full stand up,

1734
02:01:47.239 --> 02:01:51.720
uh, don't trust by the way, the coffee grinders at a grocery store,

1735
02:01:51.800 --> 02:01:55.600
they will not grind it fine enough
for you. No, don't get

1736
02:01:55.800 --> 02:02:00.520
a hand grinder one of these bad
boys some elbow. You should do it

1737
02:02:00.800 --> 02:02:03.239
exactly how long should the handgrinder takes. I feel like when I use my

1738
02:02:03.279 --> 02:02:08.720
handgrinder, it takes forever. Well, you're just playing with it, gus,

1739
02:02:09.359 --> 02:02:14.960
I'm not serious. Definitely a very
state of the art burr handgrinder.

1740
02:02:15.560 --> 02:02:17.640
Well, shouldn't take too long.
I'd say up to a minute, max

1741
02:02:17.880 --> 02:02:20.479
up to a minute fine? A
minute's fine, okay, okay, cool,

1742
02:02:20.479 --> 02:02:23.960
all right. The other thing you
gotta do, get a level or

1743
02:02:24.079 --> 02:02:27.479
say, you gotta get a tamp
or tamp the ship down so everything's even,

1744
02:02:28.000 --> 02:02:31.520
so the water disperses through everything evenly. You don't. That's why people

1745
02:02:31.680 --> 02:02:35.840
prefer rain style showers. It's not
just because it's a fun novelty. It's

1746
02:02:35.880 --> 02:02:42.680
because all of the water's just dripping
onto you evenly. My friend would would

1747
02:02:42.720 --> 02:02:45.520
a gigantic leap there. Okay,
Next thing you gotta do, you gotta

1748
02:02:45.560 --> 02:02:48.880
get a w DT What is a
w DDT I forget what stands for,

1749
02:02:49.079 --> 02:02:55.199
but it's something dispersal tool, So
you gotta get it's here's what you can

1750
02:02:55.279 --> 02:02:58.239
do. Get a cork stick,
a bunch of toothpicks to it, stir

1751
02:02:58.359 --> 02:03:02.279
around your coffee grinds your expresso basket
before tampering it so there's no little clumps

1752
02:03:02.399 --> 02:03:05.960
we hate clumps. It's like making
a good pancake batter, no clumps.

1753
02:03:06.239 --> 02:03:10.720
And then say say, look me, are you still listening to me?

1754
02:03:10.960 --> 02:03:14.479
You tune out yet? Are you
now scared of diving down the coffee hole

1755
02:03:14.560 --> 02:03:16.399
with me? Because it's too late, it's too fucking lightered. I think,

1756
02:03:18.199 --> 02:03:20.279
get a little scale. Go get
a little scale, because you got

1757
02:03:20.359 --> 02:03:26.079
to weigh everything. Baking and making
coffee is one and the same because it

1758
02:03:26.199 --> 02:03:30.720
is an exact science. There's no
fun jazz here exactly. It's a specific

1759
02:03:30.800 --> 02:03:33.359
sale about coffee because then you got
you gotta time it, you know,

1760
02:03:33.399 --> 02:03:38.359
because to do a proper extraction and
can't take a lot of minute. Got

1761
02:03:38.359 --> 02:03:41.840
a lot of single use gadgets.
Huh no, it's all to serve one

1762
02:03:41.920 --> 02:03:51.319
purpose. I can still waste.
That's the definition of single use. And

1763
02:03:51.359 --> 02:03:54.880
then hey, if you want to
get even even freak ear with it,

1764
02:03:55.079 --> 02:03:59.800
you know, go get like a
little different uh not gasket, I forget

1765
02:03:59.800 --> 02:04:01.680
the word a porter filter. Yeah, you could get a different porta filter

1766
02:04:01.800 --> 02:04:06.119
for your cheaper espresso machine and just
make it nice. It's great, Like

1767
02:04:06.319 --> 02:04:10.199
espresso companies. Why the funck haven't
you sponsored? Boy? You know,

1768
02:04:10.479 --> 02:04:15.479
it's either give me a Disney or
candlebox or an espresso machine. Please.

1769
02:04:15.960 --> 02:04:18.600
Seems I've been in d MS.
Yeah, totally. I've tried. M

1770
02:04:19.960 --> 02:04:24.760
keep trying. It's gonna happen.
You're gonna crack that nut eventually. That

1771
02:04:24.880 --> 02:04:28.039
about my favorite thing you showed us
was the tamper. That seems the thing

1772
02:04:28.119 --> 02:04:30.079
to me that could be most easily
replaced by just the back of a spoon.

1773
02:04:30.439 --> 02:04:34.239
Yeah, that's what I know,
you with a spoon. Egnogically,

1774
02:04:34.640 --> 02:04:38.800
it's just but like, okay,
find of measuring up? How about that?

1775
02:04:39.119 --> 02:04:42.920
No, it's machine. It's gonna
come with a p. I'm not

1776
02:04:43.239 --> 02:04:46.119
not criticizing, I'm not judging.
I'm just criticizing and judging a little bit.

1777
02:04:46.479 --> 02:04:48.840
It seems like you just got a
lot of fun toys for your coffee

1778
02:04:48.880 --> 02:04:53.560
porn. I'm gonna make all y'all
a cup and you'll be like, oh,

1779
02:04:53.680 --> 02:04:56.720
no, I can taste the difference. I'm sort of for making fun

1780
02:04:56.760 --> 02:04:59.039
of you for a little bit at
least, Joe, No, I don't

1781
02:04:59.119 --> 02:05:01.680
doubt it, but I think you
would have a tough time telling the difference

1782
02:05:01.720 --> 02:05:06.279
between the espresso that's been flattened and
espresso that has not been flatt. Oh,

1783
02:05:06.399 --> 02:05:10.119
I can tell, I can tell. Don't make me get into the

1784
02:05:10.439 --> 02:05:14.319
magic of rostretto on top of espresso. It's that's I can make up words

1785
02:05:14.359 --> 02:05:16.239
too, Jan, It's a thing. It's a thing. Fucked up your

1786
02:05:16.239 --> 02:05:23.840
boy. I want espresso machine so
so desperately, but you've scared me away

1787
02:05:23.960 --> 02:05:27.000
at their cost. I got one
for Christmas several years ago from my wife.

1788
02:05:27.119 --> 02:05:30.159
Used it every day, Thank you
very much. Yo. Hey,

1789
02:05:30.279 --> 02:05:33.880
hey, I'm not on the espresso
side of the internet. That that poo

1790
02:05:33.960 --> 02:05:39.520
poos on on Brevil machines. Brevils
are completely great. They're great. They're

1791
02:05:39.560 --> 02:05:45.640
good home machines. You know,
DELONGI whatever, you could make it work.

1792
02:05:45.960 --> 02:05:48.319
Any cheap espresso machine you can make
work. So don't worries A from

1793
02:05:48.319 --> 02:05:53.039
Pennsylvania. You can make it work. I just got a trench to hold

1794
02:05:53.079 --> 02:05:57.640
brew with no ice from Starbucks and
call it a day work too. You

1795
02:05:57.760 --> 02:06:00.199
hate Starbucks coffee, Jan, I
don't hate it. I mean it's not

1796
02:06:00.439 --> 02:06:04.880
good. I just drink. I'll
drink thirty thirty liquid ounces of it,

1797
02:06:05.079 --> 02:06:10.239
but I'm not gonna say it's good. How do I like with my travel?

1798
02:06:10.319 --> 02:06:13.159
Like? Okay, real quick before
we say goodbye, like I need

1799
02:06:13.600 --> 02:06:18.239
travel, Like I am anxious about
good coffee while I'm away, and I

1800
02:06:18.399 --> 02:06:21.079
like freak out that I'm going to
be in a hotel that's like just got

1801
02:06:21.239 --> 02:06:24.640
trashed here coffee, and I don't
know what to do. So like,

1802
02:06:25.119 --> 02:06:29.319
do you have like a mcgiver way
to deal with that coffee travel advice?

1803
02:06:29.680 --> 02:06:32.920
Coffee travel hacks. If you don't
want to take up like one tenth of

1804
02:06:33.000 --> 02:06:36.439
your luggage, then my advice is
going to fall upon deaf ears. Deaf

1805
02:06:36.520 --> 02:06:42.640
ears, hey, you know they're
in your area. If there is a

1806
02:06:42.760 --> 02:06:46.560
third wave style coffee shop, the
new hotness is instant coffee and majority of

1807
02:06:46.600 --> 02:06:51.439
the it's the coffee not bad.
Huh yeah, okay, Yeah, I

1808
02:06:51.520 --> 02:06:57.760
didn't really answer my problem, but
thank you next time you put a little

1809
02:06:57.800 --> 02:06:59.880
bit of it in some in Like
if you make a chocolate cake, if

1810
02:06:59.920 --> 02:07:02.439
you put a little bit of ground
coffee in the coffee and the chocolate cake,

1811
02:07:02.479 --> 02:07:04.600
it brings out the flavor more.
It doesn't taste like coffee. It

1812
02:07:04.640 --> 02:07:10.319
just makes the cough the chocolate taste
richer. Put some in your Japanese curry,

1813
02:07:10.560 --> 02:07:15.439
same same effects. Oh okay,
oh, actually yeah, you know

1814
02:07:15.640 --> 02:07:18.279
Dan Dan Underscore City an aero press. It's it's good, but you still

1815
02:07:18.359 --> 02:07:23.239
need you still need ground of coffee. That's the other thing. Oh god,

1816
02:07:23.439 --> 02:07:27.840
can someone just give me a question? Can espresso machines make coffee?

1817
02:07:28.079 --> 02:07:30.520
I know coffee machines can make espresso, but can the special machines make coffee?

1818
02:07:30.560 --> 02:07:35.039
They should be able to it?
Twins on what you define? Like

1819
02:07:35.079 --> 02:07:40.359
you could make like an Americano?
Uh, because like mine broke Jan's heart

1820
02:07:40.479 --> 02:07:45.840
just here, you know, look
at him crasp in his chest and pain

1821
02:07:46.359 --> 02:07:53.880
emotional coffee paint of espresso today?
How about no? Not enough? Oh

1822
02:07:54.000 --> 02:07:57.159
man? What okay? Sorry blacked
out for a second. I guess you

1823
02:07:57.239 --> 02:08:00.359
can. I guess you can't ask. I guess you can't ask the bad

1824
02:08:00.439 --> 02:08:05.239
question possible grub is right? You
can just make an Americano. You can.

1825
02:08:05.399 --> 02:08:07.119
You can just pull a shot and
then add hot water to it,

1826
02:08:07.560 --> 02:08:11.520
because yeah, and a lot of
the machines are made to do exactly that

1827
02:08:11.560 --> 02:08:13.840
because they know people aren't. Most
people aren't doing shots of espresso. So

1828
02:08:15.640 --> 02:08:18.640
I'm not I'm not calling anyone silly. I didn't mean to make anyone feel

1829
02:08:18.680 --> 02:08:22.039
shame. I was just like,
except the shame I'm feeling. But thank

1830
02:08:22.079 --> 02:08:24.039
you. Make it myself, but
I will say a shout out to the

1831
02:08:24.079 --> 02:08:26.560
coffee place down the street for me
when I want to feel fancy, you'll

1832
02:08:26.600 --> 02:08:31.119
put espresso on I with some tonic
water and a little bit of orange and

1833
02:08:31.239 --> 02:08:35.560
it. Well, that sounds delightful. Oh good, yo, yo,

1834
02:08:35.680 --> 02:08:39.079
yo yo. That's the ship right
there. Yeah, it's it's my special

1835
02:08:39.119 --> 02:08:41.680
little treat form when I wanted a
little treat. Uh, don't knock this,

1836
02:08:41.840 --> 02:08:46.720
and this is going to sound absolutely
disgusting. Put a shot of espresso

1837
02:08:46.800 --> 02:08:50.279
and orange juice. No, that's
no, that's disgusting. No, I

1838
02:08:50.600 --> 02:08:52.640
realized I just said. A little
bit of orange is in the espresso drink

1839
02:08:52.680 --> 02:08:56.680
that I drink. But it feels
like doing the reverse is something that only

1840
02:08:56.760 --> 02:09:01.800
a pervert would do. And I
am not that because the bear keeps fucking

1841
02:09:01.840 --> 02:09:07.319
rejecting me speaking about pervs. Uh, grub you you remember the Mary Poppins

1842
02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:11.760
email that I read on armac grubbin
yesterday when we read that, should we

1843
02:09:11.840 --> 02:09:16.239
real do it? Yes's hit it? Yeah? Okay, all right,

1844
02:09:18.359 --> 02:09:22.239
I'm gonna look up Mary Poppins Roule
thirty four while you're doing that. Whoa

1845
02:09:24.239 --> 02:09:30.439
Stefan and Adelaide South Australia wrote in
I just saw Mary Poppins the Stage musical

1846
02:09:30.560 --> 02:09:35.359
over the weekend and came to the
realization that I'm horny as fuck from Mary

1847
02:09:35.399 --> 02:09:39.560
Poppins now, and now that he's
reading this, so is Jan. Just

1848
02:09:39.680 --> 02:09:45.079
think about it. You got the
dommy mommy adjacent role was zero percent incest

1849
02:09:45.319 --> 02:09:48.800
and you're not dogging one of your
parents for life with a step mom fantasy.

1850
02:09:48.920 --> 02:09:56.000
Just think about her lifting up that
bustle and sliding down your banister giving

1851
02:09:56.000 --> 02:10:00.479
you all kinds of sugary medicine.
Wow, well there's more, Jan,

1852
02:10:01.079 --> 02:10:07.960
I know you're desperate for that supercalifragilistic
expialid to see. I bet medicine ain't

1853
02:10:07.000 --> 02:10:13.159
the only thing. Whispering it doesn't
make it less bad, makes it worse.

1854
02:10:13.800 --> 02:10:16.600
I bet medicine ain't the only thing
A spoonful of sugar helps go down,

1855
02:10:16.680 --> 02:10:24.039
if you know what I mean.
Getting Nanny Pilled Love from Stefan Adelaide,

bring back the original KFC Chicken Snacker
sandwich with the Herb Mayo. They were

1929
02:15:48.479 --> 02:15:52.479
only a dollar each. Delicious fifty
y'all blink, we could have held the

1930
02:15:54.000 --> 02:15:56.800
line at all. Fifties worked so
well. The week y'all copy paste of

1931
02:15:56.840 --> 02:16:01.119
Jan didn't read them all. Freedom
or death shout out section and rule followers

1932
02:16:01.199 --> 02:16:03.359
only you know what Jan never specified
at length of individual shout outs. So

1933
02:16:03.479 --> 02:16:07.880
in theory, one could compose a
super long shout out that compensates for the

1934
02:16:07.920 --> 02:16:11.760
new unnatural elements that have an opposed
on the shoutouts. Ecosystem. Life will

1935
02:16:11.840 --> 02:16:13.520
find a way and that's it for
the shoutouts. I hate all of you,

1936
02:16:13.680 --> 02:16:18.960
I love all of you. It
seems like grubs microphone works. Now,

1937
02:16:20.039 --> 02:16:22.600
what do we got going on this
week? Yeah, we're gonna be

1938
02:16:22.640 --> 02:16:30.560
playing Labyrinthine tomorrow where me bacalar en
Dan. We're gonna go into the labyrinths

1939
02:16:30.640 --> 02:16:33.239
of a horror game on Steam and
co op. So it seems like it's

1940
02:16:33.280 --> 02:16:35.520
gonna be a good times. Tune
in for that. That'll be the time

1941
02:16:35.559 --> 02:16:41.600
we would normally do Blight Club.
Dan literally lost his copy of Sonic.

1942
02:16:41.680 --> 02:16:46.319
It's the only thing he lost in
his move, right, sure likely story,

1943
02:16:46.479 --> 02:16:48.879
So Dan, he needs some form
of punishment, So I welcome my

1944
02:16:50.440 --> 02:16:54.239
at me on Twitter and come up
with ideas. We'll find a way to

1945
02:16:54.280 --> 02:16:58.600
punish him. So we'll do Labyrinthine
tomorrow, Thursday, what voicemail, dumb

1946
02:16:58.639 --> 02:17:01.760
truck up f one Friday, we'll
do some fun stuff there. A bunch

02:17:03.000 --> 02:17:07.520
rest of the week. An Honest
Game trailers dropped. If you missed us

1949
02:17:07.520 --> 02:17:11.200

1950
02:17:11.239 --> 02:17:15.680
else he doing? Oh god,
what a great question. A bunch of

1951
02:17:15.680 --> 02:17:18.799
stuff I'm not allowed to talk about

1952
02:17:18.799 --> 02:17:22.200

1953
02:17:22.239 --> 02:17:24.920
me to revealable that will be too
So just go watch the fruits of my

1954
02:17:24.040 --> 02:17:28.879
labor. I cried trying to get
footage of this game for all of you.

1955
02:17:28.040 --> 02:17:35.000
So I think we really yelled at
two in the morning and woke up

1956
02:17:35.040 --> 02:17:37.959
my cat. We may be we
may be thinking about the same game.

1957
02:17:39.319 --> 02:17:41.760
And then I was close to crying
for that one as well. H Quick

a d buff if you play me
