Joining me this week is Lucy James, Hey, Kelly 3 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.679 Plaguy Hello, and our editorial intern James Carr. Hello. How are y'all 4 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:32.520 doing? Wow? Thank you? It's four th eight pm on a Wednesday. 5 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:37.520 Cracked a white claw, you know, feeling feeling good? I've also 6 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.000 cracked a white claw. Man. This is like the white Claw cast. 7 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:48.119 Look if we let's get sponsored by white clall likes I'm drinking ruby grapefruit. 8 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.039 I'm not like other girls. I can't have that one. I'm not allowed 9 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:57.759 grapefruit really because I have high cholesterol genetic It's you know, it's fine. 10 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:03.280 A four point brand ambassador followed me on Twitter and I saw it and I 11 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:08.000 was like, oh man, here we go. He know that, like 12 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.920 I don't know our first twenty five episodes, we were drinking four point in 13 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.959 the studio. That's true. I miss that. I missed that so much 14 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.719 right just being in the studio with you guys. But also, I mean 15 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:26.959 Greg's this is a UK listeners only. The Greg's community manager followed me on 16 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:34.439 Twitter. Greg's is like pastry sausage. Rolls Steak Bakes like iconic Northeastern food, 17 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.400 and they followed me on Twitter and I was like, here we go. 18 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.519 I think you're talking about your roommate. Yeah, I thought you were 19 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:47.239 Miller of Greg's community manager, Jake when you were an intern. When you 20 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.040 started as an intern, were you twenty one? It was twenty two? 21 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.400 Remember in my interview, that was a question that they asked and me were 22 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.400 like, how old are you again? I was like twenty two and they're 23 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.359 like, oh, good because we kind of drink a lot. And I 24 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.319 was like, oh, that's good to know. They don't ask that question 25 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.040 anymore, or at least they didn't ask me. I don't think they're allowed 26 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.599 to. Yeah. I don't think they are either. Yeah. I actually 27 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.719 I shouldn't sare that Sorry? We shouldn't move on. So normally we start 28 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.879 this show off with what we've been playing. However, James, this is 29 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.680 your first time on the podcast, so we're gonna start with the Chris from 30 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:24.759 Dayton, Ohio segment. But up there it is anyway, James, who 31 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.039 are you? Tell us about yourself? What kind of games do you play? 32 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.000 Tell us how you found your way to game Spot, and so on, 33 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.240 So, yeah, I'm James Carr. I'm the editorial intern. I'm 34 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.400 a journalism major at Arizona State University. I found the game Spot internship by 35 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.439 just consistently, just like once a week googling for like internships at like pretty 36 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.919 much every video game news outlet I could think of, and eventually the game 37 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.560 Spot one popped up and I was like, oh, hey, I know 38 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.240 them. This is cool. I'll take a crack at that. So it 39 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.280 is working in the video game industry something you've been wanting to do for a 40 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.439 long time. Yeah, it's It's actually the reason I got into journalism in 41 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.520 college. It was the main goal to do writing. It's awesome. As 42 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.960 for games, I play just about everything I can get my hands on. 43 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.120 I got a strong preference for like two D platformers and first person shooters and 44 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.120 farming sims. Yeah. I never played a farming sim you know. I 45 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.439 keep like which is a shame because every time you go to games Calm the 46 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.639 farming simula, it booth is always the most popular, Like by a long 47 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:34.479 shot, do you have really? Yeah, seriously, it's so popular. 48 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.639 Are the super big in Germany? Like farm? Okay, we're just talking 49 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.759 about Farm. The actual game. All right, actual game. I mean, 50 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.840 like I mean technically animal crossing Stade you is kind of fomming sim where 51 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.240 you played Stardo, I do, But I mean I have game. It's 52 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.360 like she doesn't played the game farming simulation. Yeah, I haven't played farm 53 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.360 or whatever. I haven't got behind the wheel of a giant tractor and plowed 54 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:10.120 some fields. You know what I'm saying. What I'm saying the Steam reviews 55 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.560 for that game are actually really good. I kind of want to play it 56 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.519 because I just curious. The only one, the only like fombing simulated knowledge 57 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.040 that I have is or like awareness of it that I have is a that 58 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:28.079 games come thing. But also that video of someone putting SQUIRRELX over it and 59 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.600 just doing like the three sixteen domesco bill that stuff. It's very good. 60 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.000 Again, this will be a meme that I share in the chat after, 61 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:43.040 just like gold Yeller that we were all treated to last week. Yeah, 62 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:47.600 so on the topic of Farm, Sims, Story of Seasons, Friends of 63 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.639 Mineral Town was your first Schemes fire review, James. So it's like it's 64 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.160 it's interesting, it's a fun eclectic mix of things to be like, oh 65 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.000 yeah, I play first person shooters and also games where you find and Mary 66 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:05.399 townsfolk and talk to fairies. But that's how I am too. Yeah. 67 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:11.399 No, it's definitely just like like two very relaxing experiences for me in two 68 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.920 very different ways. So I do have to ask you because this is a 69 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.879 question we get. I don't know, we probably get it at least once 70 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.480 a month. Everyone always asks, like for tips to get into the video 71 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.879 game industry, tips to get internships, tips or anything. So I was 72 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.680 just curious if maybe you could break down how you got to game Spot, 73 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.240 maybe like what you did before that, to help prepare you for the interview 74 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.879 for I don't know, any anything you find relevant, because I know that's 75 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.560 something that people are always curious about and we try to help them out as 76 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.399 much as we can. Yeah, I would say a big thing for me 77 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.720 is that I when I applied for the Game Spot internship, I had maybe 78 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:57.560 only spent a couple months freelancing writing for games, and that was like almost 79 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.680 exclusively riding listicles. But I had already done a bunch of time just writing 80 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:08.879 other types of news. I spent a couple of months for Arizona PBS do 81 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.959 It and covering sustainability, and then I worked in my state newspaper covering breaking 82 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.519 news prior to that, So I would say just like covering whatever you can, 83 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.319 because like you might not assily get to cover games right at the gate, 84 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.879 but like the skills transfer, you're still learning the writing techniques and all 85 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.439 of the ap style and the skills. So I think it's probably my biggest 86 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.000 piece of advice tool. It's a really good piece of advice too. I 87 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.959 think that's something we talk about a lot here, is like make sure you 88 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:40.879 cultivate other skills. And I think like we've talked about too, like everybody 89 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.720 at GameSpot comes from like different backgrounds, Like some people have journalism degrees, 90 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.879 but some people had, you know, Lucy studied psychology, and like, 91 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.480 uh, you know, we have a lot of film degrees, people studying 92 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.199 different things, and those backgrounds all inform what we do and that's what gives 93 00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:00.959 us a kind of a broader net to cover things from. Like one of 94 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:09.759 my proudest moments was in QA being able to say that Patton Oswalt's wife like 95 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.319 her name was spelled wrong. And I know that because I like true crime. 96 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:21.600 Well, that documentary on HBO by the way, is harrowing. I'll 97 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.600 be on in the Dog, but her book is fantastic. Sorry, but 98 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.120 to jump on the Michellemore say, we train. But yeah, I think 99 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.040 that's really solid advice for anybody. All right, good pick. Before we 100 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.199 move on, one last question for you, James. Is there a game 101 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.680 that you always come back to or a series that you'll play no matter what? 102 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.399 I guess more or less a favorite game? I will say either your 103 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.600 Stardeo Valley or just the Halo series in general. Yah. Either one of 104 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:55.839 those I will return to at any moment when I'm particularly like stressed out, 105 00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.399 I will open the Master Chief collection and I will just start playing Swat just 106 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.120 like endlessly. It's very relaxing experience for me. I feel like Cali gave 107 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.480 that same answer when we first started the Christ from Dayton couple. I was 108 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.399 gonna say, I didn't interview you, James, but if I had, 109 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:20.319 I would have been like salt. All right, Well, then with that, 110 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.000 let's move on to what we've been playing. Lucy, do you want 111 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.399 to kick it off this week? Uh? Walk got my Ghost of Sashima 112 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.920 platinum, Very proud, nice shout out to the guy who I tweeted out 113 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.600 my like trophy list and the guy. First of all, I'm very happy 114 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.639 that no one called me out for getting trophies at like two am on Saturday, 115 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.080 because that was a real dark time for me. But we'll see, 116 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.559 it's not like we can go to bars on Saturdays. Saturdays for the boys 117 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:56.120 and in this case the boys Jin say Lord Shimura no, someone like oh 118 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:05.480 Kage my boy. Yeah, okay, yeah, it's well too, but 119 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.159 okay fair uh no, So like a guy dreaming, he was like, 120 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.720 I highly doubt you did this all by yourself because you work a game spot. 121 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.320 And also the game has only been out for ten days unless you had 122 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.720 an advanced copy. I just replied like, actually I had it a few 123 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.200 weeks before release, and he deleted his tweet cough, no prick anyway, 124 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.960 like why be needlessly antagonistic anyway, And other than that, like I kind 125 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:39.679 of not taking a break, but I started watching Dark. I think I 126 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.000 talked about it the last week that I was gonna start watching it, or 127 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.200 that i'd watched like a couple episodes. It's really really good time travel, 128 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.559 which normally I'm not really that big a fan of. Honestly, time travel 129 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.480 as a storytelling mechanic because I think my brain kind of really Oh dude, 130 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.320 I must sucker for time travel. You'll really like anything, you really like 131 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.799 it. Although I will say it is the show that I will skip the 132 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.200 title sequence on the fastest out of any show I've ever seen. And usually 133 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.799 I watch the title sequences, but the title sequence for Dark is just like 134 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.360 it's weird. It doesn't Yeah, it just kind of sticks out to me. 135 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.519 I don't really enjoy it. But the show itself is phenomenal, and 136 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:30.200 they have like it kind of feels like it in a way because it's a 137 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.000 time jump that happens, you know, and it's like every twenty something years, 138 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.960 and this is every thirty three years. A bit stranger things y. 139 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.799 You know, people are kidnapping kids, and you know, there's a a 140 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:48.799 weird, weird undercover I don't know if it's like the Nuclear Power people or 141 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.679 just like a weird shadowy organization that hasn't been explained yet, but that's very 142 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:58.320 clear from the get go. And it jumps to twenty nineteen eighty six and 143 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.519 fifth D three and like, it's really cool the way that they've cast. 144 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.000 There are these four key families and the way that they've cast the younger versions 145 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.840 and the older versions and they all look perfect, like the guy who plays 146 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.440 Uric present day Auric and like Uric as a kid, is unbelievable. The 147 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.519 one thing I will say is that obviously I would suggest subs not dubs, 148 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.639 but that's probably just because I'm a purist. Friend of the show. Andrew 149 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.440 Goldflub's watching was actually with subs, but he said it's really good. But 150 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.559 I just the disconnect for me is too much. I can't do He's Andrew's 151 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.600 watching it dubbed. Yeah, he's watching it in English. But to be 152 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.440 fair, I want to know, it's a really complicated show, Like there 153 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.919 are these four families that are all connected, and like obviously it's not in 154 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.720 English, and so like genuinely I took notes as to who was in each 155 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.039 family. So that's the level I love that. I'm definitely gonna watch it 156 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.080 Big Lost vibes too. There was a hatch okay really yeah, I was 157 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.799 like, okay, I really quick aside, I've been watching. I don't. 158 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.440 I didn't really want to talk about it too much because like, it's 159 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.600 just kind of a guilty pleasure show for me, right, now. But 160 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.639 I've been watching Outlander and I'm on the last available season, and that is 161 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.799 a show that is in English, but I watch it with subtitles because there's 162 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.960 some thick Scottish accents in that show. Uh. But that is also a 163 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.720 time travel show, and I'm super a sucker for that. But it's like 164 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.120 time travel is really some white people shit, like like you can't really get 165 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.960 away with going very far back in time, and like even like like I 166 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.399 can't get away with like I would not be able to go back in time 167 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.080 with my name. They'd be like, what the fuck are you? Whereas 168 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.000 like everybody in that show is like, oh, I'm Elizabeth, and it's 169 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.759 like, well, yeah, everybody is named to Elizabeth, so it's convenient. 170 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.080 I was gonna say that time travel if it's like the story is about 171 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.720 time travel, that's fine. I don't like time travel when like Avengers is 172 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:15.840 like actually time travel time. Yeah, and like you know, Star Wars 173 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.399 is going to do that at some point, like they're going to have the 174 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.840 time a little when it just feels like a plot device in their back pocket 175 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.879 to just solve all their problems whenever they feel like it exactly, Kelly, 176 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.639 what have you been up to. I began a new business venture on so 177 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.879 if you have been following for the last several months, I've been slowly getting 178 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.399 more and more intense and neurotic with animal crossing as the time goes on. 179 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.120 Recently, I've been going to people's islands just a catalog pieces of furniture. 180 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.279 I've now collected every main piece of furniture in the game, all the house 181 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:58.320 plants, all the instruments, all of the bathroom furniture, and almost all 182 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.399 the kitchen furniture. So what I'm doing now is I am scheduling a series 183 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.279 of advantageous trades in order to complete the gaps in my catalog. So, 184 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.519 for example, I have collected complete sets of clothing items people like to come 185 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.480 and like catalog them. Cataloging is when you like pick up an item and 186 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.039 put it down and then you can order it yourself. And it's like something 187 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.320 that I'm trying to one and so I'm like, oh, I have all 188 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.279 of the princess dresses. Come to my island and you can catalog them, 189 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.000 and then people give me stuff. And that's how I've been collecting all the 190 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:39.679 Kicks exclusive shoes. So I'm working on bags and shoes. Andrew just sent 191 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.960 me all the samurai gear which he had because his island is modeled after Ghost 192 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.600 of Tushima. So now I'm complete on the Samurai. I only have one 193 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.039 pair of gesture shoes left, and then I'll have all the gesture outfits, 194 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.240 which is good because I have both Pietro and Astrid on my island. So 195 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.720 it's becoming clown town, so you know, because that's one guarantee that I 196 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.200 will never visit. Yep, I got. I got two clown villagers. 197 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.960 There's another clown looking one, a dog named Marcel who's kind of clownish, 198 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.039 so I might try to get him. There was a clown cat in the 199 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.879 past, but they cut him for new horizons, so oh well. And 200 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.799 then earlier I was like, somebody was like, oh, can I come 201 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.159 to your able sisters because there's this like whole thing where people will be like, 202 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.279 come shop of my able sisters. These are the items I have, 203 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.639 and uh, you know, just pay me like a nook miles ticket or 204 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.360 whatever. So I was like, oh, no, entry free, like 205 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.039 just come, tips are appreciated, come shop with my able sisters. And 206 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.720 somebody paid me two hundred grand. What shop of my able sisters, So 207 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:58.000 business adventures, that's that's like I've seen in that TikTok series about celebrities that 208 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.240 I have served, that's like ten out of ten to Beyonce because she tips. 209 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.360 Well that's that person. Yeah, getting right with This person was wearing 210 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:10.080 a complete LaBelle outfit, by the way, like the designer outfit, like 211 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.559 head to toe, the hat, the sunglasses, the shirt, the shorts, 212 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:17.759 the shoes, and I my able sisters was selling shoes, the sneakers. 213 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.200 So this person was like, I need to buy all the sneakers and 214 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:27.240 then gave me two hundred thousand bills for that. So that's the life that 215 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:34.000 I'm living. Yeah, how about that update? Though, I'm very excited. 216 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.600 Are we gonna talk about Do you want me to talk about that? 217 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:38.960 You guys, we'll talk about it now. Yeah. It's so we're recording 218 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.039 this before the update goes live, unfortunately, but if you're listening, it 219 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.600 will be live by the time this goes up. But it added a lot 220 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.480 of stuff that was discussed in like data mining, and it's it's a lot 221 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:56.080 of like returning content, right, so the the dream Suite is returning from 222 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.159 Newly that's really nice because you can have people tour your island and not worry 223 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.720 about them trampling your flowers. I think they took precautions and new horizons to 224 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.480 prevent people from damaging your islands. But with what suits kind of allowing you 225 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.880 to circumvent some of those precautions, it's really nice that you can kind of 226 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.920 upload your island and be like, here's the ideal version of my island. 227 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.480 How does that work exactly? Like do you I guess you wouldn't know entirely, 228 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.960 But in previous games, was it like you just send a code to 229 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.960 people and they can like visit your island or was it I'm curious how you 230 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.279 interact with people, Like could you in theory just like tweet out like here's 231 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.079 my island and then anyone could take that code and visit it or something. 232 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.200 Yeah, and it's a carbon copy of your islands, so you don't have 233 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.359 to be online. You're not there. It's just so they can tour it 234 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.519 and see like what you've done. So it'll be really cool for people who 235 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.200 are really big on like doing creative things with their islands to let people tour 236 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.480 them. And it'll be really cool to get inspiration from going to people's islands 237 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.359 like that, I think right now. One of the things that I don't 238 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.400 like about Animal Crossing Twitter is people will post like the cool screens of like 239 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.400 cool stuff they've done on their island, but they're like highly edited and they 240 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.279 look way better than they would in the game because I feel face tuning Animal 241 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:12.000 Crossing. Yes, people are putting crazy filters on their Animal Crossing screen shots 242 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:17.359 and they look like cottage core people are really into this and there they look 243 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.559 good. They're like good photos. But if you want to like cottage core 244 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:29.319 people, they they have there's a whole subculture. But basically the dream Suite 245 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.640 will allow you to like upload, here's my whole island. People can tour 246 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.680 it and that'll be really cool to see. Like people have like entire themed 247 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.200 islands, like Andrew Goldfarb. His island is a Sushima theme, so he 248 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.880 has like cherry blossom pathways and stuff, and you get a code and then 249 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.400 people can Uh. I guess the way it would work is you go to 250 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.799 sleep on a bed and then you can enter the code kind of the way 251 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.160 you would a creator code is how I assume it would work. The other 252 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.799 thing is fireworks in the summer. That's something that's been in previous Animal Crossing 253 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.640 games. And the thing that gives me hope about this part of the update, 254 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.359 and I really don't want to be wrong, and everybody who's listening to 255 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.400 this is going to be like, Oh, we're so sad for Cali because 256 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.920 she was wrong. But you can use custom designs to make fireworks, and 257 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.880 I'm really hoping that means we get more custom design slots because I have run 258 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.920 out and I don't want to use my pathway designs as fireworks because that would 259 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:29.880 look stupid. So yeah, what was there was one other thing in oh 260 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.799 the save data backups. So actually, what's important to note about this is 261 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:38.599 this is separate from the transfer. So the update. This update is like, 262 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.039 if you lost your switch, you'd be able to recover your Animal Crossing 263 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:47.880 save. A later update is going to contain the necessary data for you to 264 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.000 transfer your island to another switch, like if you wanted to transfer it to 265 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.319 a switch light for example. They clarified that on Twitter. So yeah, 266 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.200 you have to rechet to Nintendo support right in order if you lose your switch 267 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.400 and you want to back it up, which is pain seems like a lot 268 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.960 of work. Yeah, so the transfers coming later. They also announced with 269 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.039 the end of that trailer that there will be a Fall update, so I'm 270 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:14.960 imagining that's for September. I really hope that has like cafes and like cute 271 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.759 Fall stuff. I'm really excited for Falling Animal Crossing it has the best items. 272 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:23.799 I want to put a pumpkin on my head all time. Yeah, 273 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:30.079 so that's the Animal Crossing minute. There we go. I've been playing some 274 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.880 Dark Souls. I've actually never finished Dark Souls before, even though I've played 275 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.680 through Bloodborne, I don't know, almost a dozen times, Secure, almost 276 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.839 a dozen times, Dark Souls three, I think twice, but I've never 277 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:47.480 finished Dark Souls one. So I decided now's the time I should finally finish 278 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.519 this game. And I started from scratch on PC because I was originally playing 279 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.119 on Switch. I mean, I've played on so many different platforms, but 280 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.839 I was origually playing on Switch. But I just couldn't get myself to play 281 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.440 on that tiny screen when I've got a PC here with the nice monitor, 282 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.559 and you know, getting nice frame rate is good too, especially the game 283 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.519 like that. So I've just been chugging away at Dark Souls, I think 284 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:15.920 I'm almost done. I am at I just beat Seeth, so I'm like 285 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:22.559 kinda kind of exploring trying to collect the souls for the Lord Vessel. I 286 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:23.440 think I need to do two more, but I also want to do the 287 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.920 DLC too, which terrifies me because according to Matt, it's much harder and 288 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.440 apparently a lot of the enemies move a lot quicker. Tomorrow has talked about 289 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.759 this before, but what From Software typically does with their DLC is that they'll 290 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.400 kind of tease their next game, maybe not tease their next game, but 291 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:45.200 they'll try out ideas for the next game. So an example is Bloodborne's DLC. 292 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.680 Of some of the bosses you fight are very reminiscent of the bosses you 293 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.160 fight in Seciro, and you can kind of see those parallels. So with 294 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:57.039 this game with Dark Souls, the DLC, apparently the enemies are more like 295 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:03.519 Bloodborne bosses. They much quicker. That's cool, except I'm I'm I'm a 296 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.640 tank. Like I've I've got a giant axe and I'm a tank. So 297 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:08.799 like every time I swing, I at least have to wait a second before 298 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:14.519 I actually connect with anything, and it is tense, and I'm very concerned 299 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.359 that I'm gonna get mad and frustrated and have to Like, I don't know, 300 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:21.240 there's ways around it. I can switch to a faster weapon or whatever, 301 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.319 but I want to use my giant axe. It's just a big axe. 302 00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:30.039 I gotta use it. But yeah, I mean, I'm I'm enjoying 303 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.119 it. I don't think I'll be replaying this game once I'm done, though, 304 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.720 just because the game's got a lot of bullshit in it. He's got 305 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:40.039 a lot of bullshit. Yeah. I feel like it's I mean, with 306 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:45.960 every from game because if they like, I don't know if I'm going to 307 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:51.000 say that Soekro is the best feeling one, but I mean, it's difficult 308 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:56.079 to go back after you've played Soakoro and Bloodborne to you know, turtling and 309 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:03.599 shield management. And I think especially with Sacroo removing stamina, kind of like 310 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.319 going from Sacro back to bloodbe was like, oh crap, yeah, gotta 311 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:12.119 I gotta remember this. I don't just jump around and whatever the whole time. 312 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:18.000 But yeah, I get what you're saying because even like I started up 313 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.000 Dark Souls three and that it's just night and day compared to one like, 314 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.359 it just feels so much better. The movement is better, the combats like 315 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:30.319 punch here. Uh that said, I mean the combat is still pretty satisfying, 316 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.119 but yeah, it's there's a lot of bullshit that came. Like there's 317 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.000 an area that's completely dark, so you're just blindly walking around this area with 318 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:44.279 skeletons, and there's lots of like narrow pathways and since you can't see anything, 319 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.559 you're probably gonna walk off them a lot. And I was getting frustrated 320 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.640 doing that. But I mean, I don't know that's the point, right, 321 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:53.599 I'm supposed to get frustrated while playing Dark Soul. I'm supposed to get 322 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.799 mad. I don't get that mad. But I mean, you know when 323 00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.480 I'm like, all right here, I go, oh, I got to 324 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.519 walk through this entire area again. But you know, it is. It 325 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.200 is great. I'm really enjoying it. I'm very happy to like check it 326 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.119 off the list because I feel like a fake fan having not done Dark Souls 327 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.759 one. But anyway, that's pretty much all I've been doing. James, 328 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:22.200 what about you? So I reviewed Destroy All Humans for game Spot that went 329 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:29.599 up on Monday. That game is a remake Slash remaster the I think it 330 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.799 was two thousand and six, the PS two Xbox game, and I think 331 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:38.720 running around and like blowing stuff up and like shooting humans and just kind of 332 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.000 having a good time was like that was a lot of fun for me. 333 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.680 It was like nice to have a very like casual like sandbox experience. It's 334 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.200 like building up GTA and just kind of like going nuts and running around. 335 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.119 But I there are just some parts of that game that just they didn't really 336 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:59.240 do anything to and feel very old, like the stealth mechanics, like they 337 00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:03.839 didn't really touch and you're just basically just like grabbing a human disguise and just 338 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.119 kind of like wandering through areas like trying to like not get too close to 339 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.480 people. And that's pretty much it for the whole game. And then some 340 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:14.359 of the audio they pulled over just kind of doesn't hold up very well at 341 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.359 all. So it's like it's it's like a fun experience, but it's not 342 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:25.599 like super great by modern standards. I watched the review and when I heard 343 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.920 audio like character audio in that game, I was like, holy shit, 344 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.000 this is really bad. It sounds really rough. And to clarify, it's 345 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.759 like the fidelity of the audio more more so than the acting, right, 346 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:42.400 Like they just didn't update how it sounds. Yeah, they just like they 347 00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.960 just straight pulled the audio out of the original version that game and the foot 348 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.880 Hill just like didn't lost fidelity or something like they didn't have like the original 349 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:56.480 recording files or something like. It sounds pretty rough. That's such a strange 350 00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:59.240 decision. I wonder if it was like we don't want to have to re 351 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.599 record this, or we like the original performances enough to sacrifice the quality. 352 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.880 Like I I wonder what the thought process was there. Yeah, I mean 353 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.079 I wonder if like it had something to do with the fact that HQ kind 354 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.960 of went under and then HQ Nordic kind of took it over. I wonder 355 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.839 if when that happened, they just kind of like all that all those audio 356 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.559 like the original audio files of Distrallo Humans probably weren't you know, something they 357 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.759 wanted to keep, oh like a like a square on next Kingdom Hawks joint. 358 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.039 Yeah. I wonder if it's like that sort of deal where they're like, 359 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:34.440 we don't what was it where they just couldn't find the source code right 360 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:37.799 for the game or something. Kingdom Hans I think didn't they delete it accidentally 361 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.920 because they had to remake the entire thing for them, which is that's insane. 362 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.599 Sel didn't fix the damn cameraout, did they? And I say that 363 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:55.000 as a kingdom Hans. So would you end up giving Distrell humans? I 364 00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:57.279 gave to six because, like you know, it took me about ten hours 365 00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:00.799 to I go through like all the campaign missions and side missions, and I 366 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.400 felt like a good length and like it, like legitimately have fun like running 367 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.039 around and shooting stuff. It was just all the other stuff that I had 368 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.440 to do, and like some of the quality problems were just enough to knock 369 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.839 it down. It's just kind of weird that, like they took him to 370 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:21.759 overhaul the graphics and update some of the movement systems and shooting systems and then 371 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:26.960 kind of left the rest of it alone. Strange decision. Yeah, sounds 372 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.240 like it. I totally get that though, where you're like, this isn't 373 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:36.160 this isn't great, but there's fun to be had for sure. Yeah. 374 00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.920 Yeah, it's definitely not like a total loss. Uh. And then you've 375 00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.559 also been playing some paper Mario, right, Yeah, I haven't spent a 376 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.039 ton of time with it. I think I'm on the like halfway through the 377 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.400 second streamers area, But I'm having a lot of fun with it. That 378 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:56.839 game's like writing is just legitimately funny, like one of like the actual like 379 00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.920 a lot of video games like to say they're funny and then not really pull 380 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.720 it off most of the time. I say that as someone who likes Borderlands, 381 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:17.079 but I think that's pretty good. The combat is like I wasn't super 382 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:21.640 into it to start with because it felt really easy and basic. But as 383 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.599 I've continued playing, the puzzles, even for like the basic enemies have gotten 384 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.279 much harder and I've definitely been stumped a few times, and they change it 385 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.039 up a lot for boss fights where they like put arrows on the ground you 386 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.440 have to like coordinate the spends to like run through a map to get to 387 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:40.519 the boss. So I think that the combat is much more interesting, even 388 00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:45.319 if it's not like the classic paper Mario RPG system that people want. Yeah, 389 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.680 I get that I've played it. Sounds like I'm probably a little bit 390 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:53.119 further than you in it. But the combat I find interesting because I started 391 00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.039 out with the exame exact same thought room I'm like, yeah, this is 392 00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.799 a little too easy. I don't know if I want this, And then 393 00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.960 the further along I got, I was like, Okay, this is actually 394 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:06.039 a really clever and fun system. But then I got to the point where 395 00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:08.680 I'm like, all right, I'm tired of fighting these enemies over and over 396 00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:14.400 again and lining enemies up and stuff like that. So I plan on playing 397 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.319 more. But uh, but yeah, the combat system has been a wild 398 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:23.440 ride in terms of emotions. I guess you could say, yeah, I 399 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:26.680 plan on playing more. Is just we'll see, We'll see how long it 400 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.319 holds its novelty, I guess, for lack of a better word, yeah, 401 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:36.640 yeah, that's kind of my thought right now. Anyway, should we 402 00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:48.559 move on to topics. First thing we have here is the secu Row update, 403 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.079 which is something I am very excited for. The first thing I did 404 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:55.240 when I saw this was message to more and being like, Yo, we're 405 00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:59.079 doing a boss rush. Let's play, because that is something I've been wanting 406 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.960 to do in Seciro for very long time. Also, it came out of 407 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.039 nowhere. Yeah, Like I woke up this morning and there's all this news 408 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.759 about a second new Sakoro update, and I was like, the game came 409 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.440 out like eighteen months ago and the teeth is good too. I don't know 410 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.200 if you read it from Software's sweet, but it's like, I hope you 411 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.720 find some small enjoyment in this update or something like that. I was like, 412 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:26.720 small enjoyment, I'm gonna spend, like I have played through the game 413 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.640 at least two or three more times just because of this. God, I 414 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.039 still can't believe that's coming out on STADIU. I know, right, yeah, 415 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.359 but I mean sw So what is it. It's like a boss rush. 416 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.160 You can change form to three new outfits and like, the thing I'm 417 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.319 interested in is remnants, like send the recording of your actions to the world 418 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:53.720 of other shnobi. So I'm guessing it's Dark Soul's Bloodborne Assue. It's kind 419 00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:56.640 of what I figured, like the Bloodstains, where you can like it sounds 420 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.839 like it works a little differently and that you won't they won't show up and 421 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.160 you die for other people. There's something you can more control, Like maybe 422 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.880 if there's a way you fought a boss that you think is really cool or 423 00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:10.599 that could help people, you could, like, I don't know, maybe 424 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.920 press a record button and then people could click on that and watch watch that 425 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.079 play out. Well, Dark Soul's right. If you die, there's a 426 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:18.960 bloodstain. You click on it, you can watch them die, which is 427 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:26.119 usually hilarious. So I'm curious to see how that works. I'm definitely most 428 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:29.519 excited to see what these different forms are, and of course the boss Rush, 429 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.400 because like I was saying, I mean the highlight of Sekiro are the 430 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.920 bosses for sure? Yeah, Like I'm looking at the new films and I 431 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.799 don't understand what they're going to do. Yeah, they just seem like skins, 432 00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.559 Like I don't know if they're going to do any changes. That'd be 433 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.799 cool if maybe there's some slight difference, but yeah, I don't know. 434 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.720 But the boss Rush though, Yeah, the Boss Rush is gonna be fun. 435 00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.799 I'm just excited to have an excuse to revisit it because I never finished 436 00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:01.400 it because I I don't know. It was a hard game to play when 437 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:05.319 there were other games I had to play. That makes sense because it was 438 00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.759 like every time you start a new game, you forget how to play Securro. 439 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:13.680 So it's like I was. It was very slow going, and the 440 00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.920 last thing I did was the Blazing Bowl, which I had such a hard 441 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:22.079 to I did not have a good time with that one, so I'm excited 442 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.440 to have like a justification to play it again, because you know, with 443 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:31.039 our jobs, it's kind of like I should probably be playing the other Samurai 444 00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:36.759 game, Ghost of Sushima, but I really want to play Secura. I 445 00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:37.640 mean, I want to play both. But that was a bad example. 446 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.240 But it's just hard to find reasons to play games that aren't out this year 447 00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:46.880 sometimes, so I like to have justifications so I don't feel like I don't 448 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:50.880 know. I don't know about you guys. It's like I better, like 449 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.599 really feel like I'm being productive, Like, yeah, I get it. 450 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:59.079 It's mostly I put the way that I can see meteors that I just have 451 00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:02.119 this never ending list of things that I want to watch, read, play. 452 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.480 So I'm going to myself just because we have a question that's kind of 453 00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:13.960 similar. Okay, oh, you don't want to see my mind as well 454 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:16.440 mine mine genuinely, Like, it's not even a list of enjoyment at this 455 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:21.640 point. This is the list of things that stressed me out. You can 456 00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:22.279 continue. I didn't mean to cut you off. I just don't want you 457 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.920 to get into like backlog and stuff, because that's something we will be talking 458 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.279 about later I'll kind of pivot back to sort of Cally's point and that, 459 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:37.279 like I feel less pressure to play stuff that's newer. I definitely used to 460 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:42.279 feel that though. I think that was especially you know, when I was 461 00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:46.640 working on guides and more feature content. But now I'm just like, oh, 462 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:50.119 I didn't do this, or I should go back to that. I 463 00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:53.079 mean, now that I finished Ghosts, I'm gonna go back to Persona five 464 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:58.039 Royal because Greg is also playing it, and I'll be damned if he gets 465 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:04.240 the platinum before I do. But other than that, like, seriously, 466 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.960 he's been putting in some time, and because that man is like the king 467 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:12.920 of getting platinum, so competing with him to get a platinum sounds really intense. 468 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.760 Good luck. Well, no, it's it's I have. I have. 469 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.440 Like he's got a wife to take it, he's got gen to take 470 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.480 into consideration. That's true, he has a wife and they actually I don't 471 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:29.920 have a wife. Isn't like they do stuff like they go out and do 472 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.480 hikes and stuff they have. I'm like, this is this is platinum time. 473 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.800 This is the platinum time. But actually Greg gets up quite early sometimes 474 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.079 and just plays games, which is the thing. That I do not have 475 00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:45.079 in my Oh yeah, I'm physically incapable of doing that. I've thought about 476 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:47.760 doing that, like, man morning, if I could get up early in 477 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.159 the morning and like knock out some games that I've been trying to do, 478 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:54.119 that'd be perfect. But like when it actually comes down to it, nah, 479 00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:58.079 I can't get out of bed. Yeah. Left left alone, I'll 480 00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.960 roll out of bed at like noon, just naturally every time. Even I 481 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.519 worked. I worked like three years at a job where I had to go 482 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.239 in at six am, like four days a week, and I still never 483 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:13.480 acclimated to it. Some people were just some people are just like that. 484 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:19.280 I have been fighting my night owlness my whole life. Uh securo right, 485 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:23.199 Hey, I was I was half expecting, like, as as I was 486 00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:27.840 scrolling through the update, I was expecting there to be like an easy mote 487 00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:31.440 or something like that. If there was not. Uh, that's the last 488 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:35.000 thing I had to say about the Secure update. I just wanted to say, 489 00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.639 I just want I just wanted to get that in. It's not even 490 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:42.039 funny, but I was like, you know, left. The next thing 491 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.039 that we want to talk about a little bit, I guess is the Avengers 492 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.239 War table stream, which happened earlier today. They showed off what we can 493 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:52.599 expect in the beta, and they showed off Hawkeye, which is going to 494 00:35:52.639 --> 00:36:00.400 be a post release character. Uh who looks like it looks like a game 495 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:04.679 protagonist. So are you a big Advengures? Yeah? Sorry? Oh no, 496 00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.719 I was gonna say who were throwing this to? Because I they don't 497 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:10.920 have a lot to say. I don't have too much to say. I 498 00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:14.039 mean, I'm interested in the game and I'll play it, but that's more 499 00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:16.239 because like I'm interested in like the comics and Avengers stuff, and like, 500 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.679 yeah, nothing about this game looks super enticing, but you know, I'll 501 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.599 give it a shot. You like the comics and the movies and stuff. 502 00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:28.480 Yeah enough. The Hackey thing was weird because like they've made a joke at 503 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.920 the front about how everyone keeps asking where Hawkeye is, and then at the 504 00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:36.440 end they're like, our big reveal, it's Hawkeye. They're like the fans 505 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:37.840 have asked for them, and I'm like, I think it's more like you 506 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.639 included five of like the six Avengers from like the first movie, and everyone's 507 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.440 like, why did you exclude Hawkeye? I think maybe they were waiting to 508 00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:50.280 see if Jeremy Renner was actually a wrong and or not. Jerry's still out, 509 00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:53.400 but they were just holding that whole guy back just in case. I 510 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:57.480 know it's not I know it's the movie. It's the movie version, but 511 00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.920 you know, maybe. But no, I mean in terms of Avengers, 512 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:06.760 like I was talking about it with like the group that I play over Watch 513 00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:12.079 with, and we recently have been trying to play other games, like we've 514 00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.960 moved to watch Daniel Dirty. No, it's just at this point, you 515 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:22.000 know that Moira update. I tried it. Oh my god, I don't 516 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.639 understand. I mean, I know it's just an experimental right now, but 517 00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:30.760 it's like, oh God, fix the shields maybe first before you anyway, 518 00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:35.199 And like we've been trying to play other games, like we played some Diabo 519 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:38.360 three play war Zone. I think we're gonna play Grounded this weekend. Actually, 520 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.880 so Avengers is one that we all are gonna play together, but personally, 521 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.639 and don't tell Greg I said this, I'm a little bit burnt out 522 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:57.239 on Marvel in a minute. I think I think it's it's more like where 523 00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:02.519 it was left in at the end of of God. What was the second 524 00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:08.039 one called it was Infinity War and Age of Ultron, No, the endgame, 525 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:10.480 endgame. At the end of Endgame, I was like, this is 526 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:15.159 a good place for a break. And now it feels like marvels Avengers wants 527 00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:19.360 me to go back to twenty twelve, or maybe that's just because of the 528 00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.400 association with the costumes and stuff, and I'm just a bit but I do 529 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.599 want to. I do want to see you know, Kamala Kahan and because 530 00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.519 that's that's a whole like area of Marvel that I've never read. Really, 531 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:37.000 I my Marvel. The stuff I like in Marvel is actually like X Men, 532 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.280 and god knows, x Men fans have been done dirty when it comes 533 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.719 to movies and video games, and I just I don't think they're going to 534 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.159 be in this Onana unless I've missed something. O, Hey, we got 535 00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:52.079 Logan though. Logan was great. Logan was great. Okay, Logan was 536 00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.320 fantastic, But then, god, did you watch the first two minutes of 537 00:38:55.400 --> 00:39:00.480 New Mutants. I didn't even know that was available. I'm president coming out 538 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:06.920 like they're trying like what eight years or something absurd, and then they're like 539 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.079 it's coming out, and then Coronavirus happens. Well, no, it's still 540 00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:13.440 I think it's still slated for end of August. And then at Comic Con 541 00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:17.000 everyone was fully expecting them to be like, okay, and now here you 542 00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:22.400 can watch New Mutants now, and instead what they did they reaffirmed the August 543 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.079 release date and they put the two minutes online and I watched it and I 544 00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.440 was like, oh, this is gonna be an absolutely train right of a 545 00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.199 film. Like it's been five I think it's five years since they've filmed it. 546 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:38.639 None of the cast. Yeah, like it's it's a big yikes. 547 00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:43.679 Anyway, My whole point is I will play Avengers, but I'm not you 548 00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:46.800 know, like eagerly anticipating every war table. I know I'm gonna play it. 549 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:51.559 I'm a little burnt out on Marvel. Like right now I'm listening to 550 00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.280 Sandman, and that's kind of my comic du jour, so to speak, 551 00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:00.239 like something a bit darker. I just want, I think. I mean, 552 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:01.559 it's like if I want a comic book video game, I just want 553 00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:08.440 another Batman. Yeah. The Kamala con announcement actually like set my expectations up 554 00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:12.119 to not be met, because when they announced her as the character, I 555 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.000 was like, Oh, they're gonna do something like really different. We're gonna 556 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.639 get see a bunch of cool characters that we haven't gotten to see yet. 557 00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:20.519 And then during this they're like the first one out's Hawkeye, and I'm like, 558 00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:24.000 oh, just you just snuck the one in there. Yeah. Yeah, 559 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:30.280 yeah, I I'm kind of in a different boat where like I probably 560 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:34.960 like I almost definitely won't play this unless it like totally blows everybody away because 561 00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:40.880 I have never been a big comics person, like definitely not a big superhero 562 00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:45.480 person. I like, uh, the Nolan Batman movies because I'm an edge 563 00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.920 lord. And also the Nolan Batman movies are fantastic except for the Dark Knight 564 00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:55.519 Rises. Except for the Dark Knight Rises, and so I this is just 565 00:40:55.559 --> 00:41:02.239 like really not like if they did something interesting with uh with I keep wanting 566 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:07.239 to say, Kamala Camala con is Kamala She's Mabel, right, and then 567 00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:09.679 yeah, because I don't want to, Like, I didn't know if it 568 00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:14.960 was the same as Kamala Harris or if it was pronounced differently, and I 569 00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:17.079 was like, my brain is going to betray me here. Yeah, so 570 00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:21.599 that does something interesting with her character? I think I would be more inclined 571 00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:23.679 to play it, just because that's something like that we haven't seen, like 572 00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:29.800 James said, But like otherwise, I'm just like, I'm a Slice of 573 00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:34.039 Life person, I'm a detective stories person. I'm not really a big save 574 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.639 the World adventure action person. So it's just not my cup of tea. 575 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.679 Great use a cup of tea, though, thank you. Yeah, I'm 576 00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.639 kind of in the same boat as Cali, except I will play it because 577 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.119 I'm a sucker and I'll be like, ooh, new shiny video game, 578 00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:52.039 I better play this. Uh so I will probably play it. I have 579 00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:54.280 a feeling I won't get super into it. It seems like they're really pushing 580 00:41:54.360 --> 00:42:00.679 that like live service approach, which you know that that's cool for people who 581 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:02.519 get into it, but like, man, if I'm gonna play like a 582 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:07.199 live service game, I probably just play Destiny at this point. I mean, 583 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:12.079 that's that's my thing, right. It's the like I've said this before, 584 00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:15.920 I know I missed the boat on keeping up with Destiny, and I 585 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:19.719 wonder if I'm if I start Avengers, if I'm gonna just like miss the 586 00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:23.960 boat on that too. As in, like within regard to the time investment 587 00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:30.079 and doing dailies and stuff. I can't see myself doing that. But if 588 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:31.400 it's something that's easy enough to drop in and out of, you know, 589 00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:35.599 do a couple of missions by myself or with friends, I do that. 590 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:45.119 But I think that's just pop parcel with being a service title these days. 591 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:49.760 Yeah, I I think I've said this before in the podcast, and this 592 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.480 may sound kind of bad, but I I really liked Crystal Dynamics Tune Raider 593 00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:58.719 games, like really, like I thought they were really good. And I 594 00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:00.760 was a little bummed when I found that they were making a Marvel game and 595 00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:02.719 I was like, Okay, well, they could still do something interesting. 596 00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:05.400 And then when I found out it was a live series game, I was 597 00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:08.320 even less interested, just because like their's story, like the two major games, 598 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.159 the stories weren't great, Like they definitely like a lot of the characters 599 00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:15.440 besides Laura, weren't that interesting. The story took weird turns, but there 600 00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:19.320 was usually something there that I really liked, and what they did with Laura's 601 00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.559 character that was really good, And I just don't I don't know, like 602 00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:28.559 it's the issue with all these service games is that the stories just always seem 603 00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:32.239 to fall flat, and you know, this could be different, Like it 604 00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:37.400 seems like they are really focusing on this side of the game that is story 605 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:43.599 solo based, so that could be interesting. But like right off the bat, 606 00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:45.480 it's just like I don't I don't know about it. I don't think 607 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:49.400 it's for me, But like I said, I'll play it because I'm a 608 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:55.199 sucker. Anyway, that's it for topics. Shall we move on to listener 609 00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:59.840 questions? Unless anyone's got any last minute things to say about Secro or Avengers. 610 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:07.960 Oh, go on then, and now moving on to listener questions. 611 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:12.760 If you've got questions, you can email us at after darkpodcast dot com. 612 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.280 Wow, mess that up. You can email us at after Dark podcast at 613 00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:22.480 GameSpot dot com, or you can join the discord and we have a nice 614 00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:25.800 little channel in the discord that let's just ask questions directly. But anyway, 615 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.360 Kelly, do you want to start with the first one? Sure? This 616 00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:34.400 one is from Kevin from West Hertford, Conneticut. Hey, after darkers. 617 00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.599 If you are playing a multiplayer turn based game and each turn is on a 618 00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.960 timer, is it considered bad etiquette to use up all the time you're given? 619 00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:45.320 There has been an ongoing debate for years in the Hearthstone community about players 620 00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:51.199 using more time to make decisions than they quote unquote should and unnecessarily slowing down 621 00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:53.840 the game for other players. For the other player, some say, if 622 00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:57.360 the time is given to them, then they have every right to use it 623 00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.400 and play how they want. I would love to hear your thoughts. I 624 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:02.840 actually do have thoughts about this, because the timer is a thing of competitive 625 00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:07.800 Pokemon, and you can definitely use the timer, like it's been a strategy 626 00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:12.280 in the past, depending on the length of the turntimer and the overall match 627 00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:16.880 timer to run it out and stall would be what you call the tactic, 628 00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:23.320 and you would win by having the most Pokemon alive, or if you had 629 00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:27.559 the same amount of Pokemon alive, having more HP, so Pokemon that could 630 00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.440 restore HP, you could have a cleric Pokemon on your team to heal. 631 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:35.840 And it's a pain in the ass and it's not exciting to watch, and 632 00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:39.760 so I would consider it to be like, just just play the damn game, 633 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:46.000 And especially for something that is competitive where people are gonna watch it, 634 00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:50.920 or like a turn based game, can already be kind of difficult to watch. 635 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.519 If you weren't super invested in the strategy. I think stalling out the 636 00:45:53.559 --> 00:46:00.480 timer is kind of like just like like it's not bad, like I wouldn't 637 00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:04.079 be like you're a bad person for doing that, but it's just lame. 638 00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:09.239 Yeah, I mean, like I think in Hotstone, because you don't have 639 00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:15.079 those like Pokemon healing over time or anything. As far as far as I'm 640 00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.719 aware, I haven't played Holstone in years, but like, what are you 641 00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.000 doing in that point? Are you just like checking Twitter or something? You 642 00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:24.400 just like if you on stream what you're doing to I assume you like talking 643 00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:29.880 to chat or something. But at the same time, that's not a fun 644 00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:32.039 experience with the other person. I mean, I don't play a lot of 645 00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.920 turn based stuff, but I can't like, what are you getting out of 646 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.400 that? Like Pokemon, I can see the advantage there, but like for 647 00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:44.679 everything else in my mon, are you doing? Yeah? From my time 648 00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.320 playing Herderstone, I think the strategy there is just like, especially if you're 649 00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:52.199 ahead, to just make your turns last as long as possible, to like 650 00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.719 try and ice the other player into just conceding. I spent a lot of 651 00:46:54.760 --> 00:47:00.239 my week off playing Magic Arena, and they're there's a timer in that game, 652 00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.719 and most of the time it's fine, but I've noticed if you start 653 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:07.119 to beat someone and they're salty about it, they will let the timer run 654 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:15.199 out every single turn. And like that game in particular, I think gives 655 00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:19.360 way too much time to come up with moves, like especially early on, 656 00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:23.000 Like all you can do early on is like throw down some manna and play 657 00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:29.519 a card or two if that. But like I find that so frustrating because 658 00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:31.400 it's like I don't want to concede because I'm gonna lose if I concede, 659 00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:36.039 even though I'm clearly winning. What this person is trying to do is baity 660 00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:38.559 to concede. So he's just going or he or she is just going to 661 00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:43.159 sit there and just let the timer run out every time. And I think 662 00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:45.440 if they do it enough times, it'll automatically concede them. But they can 663 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:47.880 at least go like I don't know, it felt like three or four turns 664 00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:52.920 where they were just sitting there and it'd be like every single turn it would 665 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:55.079 be like, Okay, well, I guess I'm gonna check Twitter, respond 666 00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:59.079 to all this stuff, see what's going on here, and then look back 667 00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:01.280 and it's still their turn. It's like I can kill me man. Come 668 00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:09.719 on, thank you for not assuming that all magic players are men. Had 669 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:13.760 to correct that there, Lucy, do you want to take the next one? 670 00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:21.559 Sure it is from Robert Burns, Robbie Burns. I probably probably not 671 00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:25.000 that one. Hello after Doug Crew. Sorry, I really made that dramatic. 672 00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:29.519 I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. So how do youse 673 00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:34.320 feel? I really enjoy that? How do you hottie is feel about the 674 00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.639 video game trope of intentionally unwinnable fights, like a fight where the enemy is 675 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:42.199 so strong slush you are two week that they take no damage, or a 676 00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:44.920 fight where, regardless of how you're doing, when a cutting kicks in, 677 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.800 your player character is suddenly on the losing end. Playing Ghost of Sushima, 678 00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:52.159 which has one of these fights, reminds me of how tired of grown of 679 00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:57.800 games using this trope to establish a villain as a real threat. It's like 680 00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.719 the game telling you, oh, no, watch out for this one. 681 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:02.920 They're better at the game than you, but don't worry, you'll get their 682 00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:07.199 wink. I just started the game. I don't need to attempt to fight 683 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.320 in futility and get whooped. Just to know I've still got a lot to 684 00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:14.360 learn, and that the villain is too strong for me in my current state. 685 00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:21.559 You can't handle my potions. They're too strong for you. I totally 686 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:28.039 get that. I think in Ghost it sets up that revenge story, so 687 00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.400 I can see why it's done in a lot of cases. I like it 688 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:35.400 when they give you the option and you actually beat the boss and you get 689 00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:38.280 like the secret ending. So there's a bit in I know it's not a 690 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:43.280 boss fight, but there's a bit in far c c eye or yeah, 691 00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.880 if he says he just wait here for a minute, but obviously the game 692 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.199 prompts you to get up and leave the table and explore. But if you 693 00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.679 just wait there for I think fifteen minutes, he comes back and you sort 694 00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:55.079 it out and you get the credits, and I like stuff like that, 695 00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:00.920 but I totally get it. I'm Secoro stocks with one of those I don't 696 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:07.960 remember what happens if you beat same thing like you still, I think the 697 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:09.880 cut scene is slightly different if you beat Ginning cheer out at the beginning, 698 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:19.119 but it's still you know, Jonathan Securo loses his arm and then you and 699 00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:24.159 I wake up next to the old man and same thing. Yeah, I 700 00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:30.880 personally. I also I'm with Robbie Burns here with Roberts. Sorry I'm gonna 701 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:35.760 say your name the way, but I like Robby Burns a lot. I 702 00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:39.960 hate this trope because it I'm the kind of person that like, I'll have 703 00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:44.519 an item in my inventory the entire game and never use it, but I'm 704 00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:49.559 always like, maybe I'll need it later, and when I get to those 705 00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.760 fights and I like, I'm like, oh, I can win if I 706 00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:55.079 use this item I've been holding onto, or like I can really like I 707 00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:57.719 can, I know I can do this, and then I don't do it. 708 00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:00.440 I'm like I wasted all those items for nothing, and then I get 709 00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:05.400 really upset. So I don't like those because they really don't mesh well with 710 00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:14.360 my compulsive hoarding style, but I get I understand their inclusion stylistically in certain 711 00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:19.679 places. There's an example I can think of that's not exactly this, but 712 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:22.000 I also don't want to say it because I think if I even say the 713 00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:23.960 game name, people will be like, that's a spoiler. Yeah, I 714 00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:29.400 mean I personally think when games do that, it is like one of those 715 00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:32.679 examples of where gameplay and story are just like clashing really hard and it just 716 00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:37.320 doesn't work. I find it pretty frustrating when you get unless the game makes 717 00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:42.719 it very clear up front that hey, you should lose, like you're gonna 718 00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:45.599 lose this no matter what. But even then I still find it frustrating because 719 00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:47.679 it's like, well, then why am I fighting this person? Like there 720 00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:52.800 should at least like like I kind of like se how Seco does it, 721 00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:54.679 and that like you can actually beat him. But I think the problem then 722 00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:00.719 is that the same thing happens. So I'd be much more interested if, 723 00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:02.199 like, you know, if you replay the game and you know how to 724 00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:06.639 play the game and you're really good at it, then you can actually beat 725 00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:09.119 this boss that you're supposed to not beat, and that could maybe just like 726 00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:12.599 do something like Farkrad did, like what you're saying, you're just like all 727 00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:15.599 right, real credits, you beat it, congrats. Like to me, 728 00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:20.280 that would be far more interesting than just like, all right, here's the 729 00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:22.440 boss that you can't win no matter how good you are at this game. 730 00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.119 Undertailed does a good job at that, because I don't think there's anything in 731 00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:30.639 the game that you can't win. But obviously Undertail is known for giving you 732 00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:37.960 other options to approach a battle scenario, and there are extremely difficult fights in 733 00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:44.280 that game, but there is something you get a reward, a narrative or 734 00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:47.079 a lore reward for doing that. So yeah, I did want to add 735 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:51.679 real quick is that, like I also don't really like it when games do 736 00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:53.440 that. Then I can think of like an example of a time when, 737 00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:58.039 like they were a game was able to like display that a boss is powerful, 738 00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.719 even though like in a different way, and it's like it's at the 739 00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:02.599 end of the game. But for a Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, like 740 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.519 at the very end of the game, like you encounter a boss, it's 741 00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:08.800 like, hey, you can't win this fight. You are absolutely not capable 742 00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:12.840 of winning this fight, and you just have to like run and just dip 743 00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.079 out, like and I think that's like a much better way of like trying 744 00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:19.800 to convey that power level than just like having you go at it and like 745 00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:22.679 either get cut off or just like just get destroyed. And yeah, that's 746 00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:27.480 a good point. Like that in particular, I think is more interesting like 747 00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:30.280 just Okay, you figure out it's no good, I gotta run, I 748 00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:35.639 gotta leave this arena boss arena. I also really like wing games do something 749 00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:37.719 like Breath of the Wild did, where it's like, you can fight the 750 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:40.119 boss right now if you want. You're probably gonna get screwed, but you 751 00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:44.800 could actually beat the final boss, but you're probably not. Like that to 752 00:53:44.840 --> 00:53:46.960 me is superb will but maybe you will, but you could lose, but 753 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:52.719 maybe maybe you'll beat them. But that is something I'm interested in it. 754 00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:58.320 I'm excited to see if breat the Web to do something similar because I think 755 00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:02.920 that was a very important part to that game's direction and style. So I'm 756 00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:06.400 curious to see. But I don't know Breath the While too. That's a 757 00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:12.000 discussion for another day. Last question, well, last question we have here, 758 00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:15.119 but it's two parts. Hey, gscrew. During the quarantine, I've 759 00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:19.639 had plenty of time to finally play through my gaming backlog. Doing so, 760 00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:23.079 however, I noticed something. Many of the games that I previously bought uh 761 00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:27.440 with the intent to play, the intent to someday play, I no longer 762 00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.639 have any desire to do so. So I was wondering if there are any 763 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:34.639 games in your library that you have lost all interest to ever try. I 764 00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:37.159 think I read that wrong. If so, what are they? And then 765 00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:39.920 there's a part two that was from Cadbury on Discord and then Wholesome. Jacob 766 00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:43.719 added, can I ask a part be as a follow up? How do 767 00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:46.679 you track your backlogs? If you do? So, there's the backlog question, 768 00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:52.039 Lucy, do you want to kick it off on this one? I 769 00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:58.320 have a very long Google keep list. I used to have different lists. 770 00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:00.920 I used to have a game so that's a books, the comics list, 771 00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:04.920 the movie and TV show list, and then I just realized that that's too 772 00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:08.719 many lists, and so I'll consolidate them all into one where basically I just 773 00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:14.400 keep jotting down things. You know, I really really want to watch Prisoners 774 00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:17.960 by dnivel Nu. I'm just yeah, and like, I hear that all 775 00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:22.480 time. I loved The Rival. I loved Blade Runner twenty nine and it's 776 00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:27.039 on my list and it has been for maybe over a year now, and 777 00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:30.400 I just it's weird because I like having a list. I like being organized. 778 00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:34.840 I'm big into o Cali. Look, I've got a new bulleted all 779 00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:39.800 like see, it's beautiful. I've started doing time blocking, very into it. 780 00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:44.079 But at the same time, like having a list of stuff that I 781 00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:47.079 need to get to feels like my time is not really my own because I'm 782 00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:52.679 just going from one thing that I've wanted to do to the next drop my 783 00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:59.800 phone. But that's how I keep track of everything in terms of like I 784 00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:07.519 I don't typically buy things and without playing them immediately. I'm pretty good at 785 00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:12.280 like holding off on buying or renting media unless I'm just about to do it. 786 00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:15.960 But I totally get that. I think comics is where I do that, 787 00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:21.079 Like that Comics Ology sale. It gets me every year, and I 788 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:22.880 buy a ton of stuff and then I never read it. Like there's some 789 00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:29.239 like I don't think did I ever read I bought all of Grant Morrison's Batman 790 00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:31.679 Run, for example, all of it. That's a lot, and I 791 00:56:31.719 --> 00:56:35.719 got through like eighty percent of it. But then there's some stuff that I 792 00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:39.519 just never touched and it's just been sat there, and now that I'm kind 793 00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:42.920 of like I've had some space from it, I just have no interest in 794 00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:45.440 going back to it because I feel like to get it, i'd have to 795 00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:52.239 go back and read everything again. Yeah, that's kind of yeah. I 796 00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:55.239 just I don't know. I feel like I have in my mind in a 797 00:56:55.239 --> 00:57:00.639 Google calendar of oh, well, November is going to be fib A Punk 798 00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:06.559 and Assassins and let's put July and August decide to finish Persona five Royal, 799 00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:09.199 And you know, I kind of make little time blocks in my mind. 800 00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:15.880 Yeah, cool. I do something similar, Like I feel like I typically 801 00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:20.119 try to play most games when I get them. A lot of that, 802 00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:22.320 though, is because of work, like we need footage of this game, 803 00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:27.800 or we need I don't know, cutting review, or we need a guide 804 00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:30.960 or something like that. So so I typically right when I get a game, 805 00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:36.079 I start playing it, and usually I'll try to finish it unless I'm 806 00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:39.119 really not into it. I would say where I falter is when it comes 807 00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:45.039 to Steam, because I buy on Steam that I'm like, one day I'm 808 00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:47.000 going to be in the mood to play this, and then that day never 809 00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:52.639 comes. One day it might though, one day it might, yeah, 810 00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:58.239 probably won't. Like I'm I think there's like there's a website that tracks all 811 00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:01.880 your Steam statistics, and I'm curious to see, like what percentage of my 812 00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:06.159 games I've actually played, Like it's got to be I don't know, twenty 813 00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:10.599 five percent, maybe lower than that. Yeah, I'm probably around there too. 814 00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:14.800 Like I went through a phase where I was buying like a lot of 815 00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:20.719 like quote unquote classics on Steam that I hadn't played, just because like there 816 00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:22.960 was a period of time where like I just couldn't play a lot of games 817 00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:28.559 because I was really busy with school. And yeah, you got Bioshocks spoiled 818 00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:32.199 for you too. Oh yeah, I was building up to that. I 819 00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:36.280 uh, oh, I'm sorry I took the wind out of it. She 820 00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:39.159 she had it spoiled, and then you spoiled the retelling of her story that 821 00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:45.599 she got. I feel believable. I was editing a review recently. This 822 00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:51.400 is not the writer's fault because like it like, you know, there the 823 00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:55.719 moratorium on it has expired. Is that the right word? Ye? You 824 00:58:55.760 --> 00:59:00.280 know, Like, I can't fault anyone for thinking that I would know the 825 00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:07.000 twist and BioShock. But I had commented on something in the review about the 826 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:08.719 story, and I was like, oh, you should be a little bit 827 00:59:08.760 --> 00:59:12.880 more specific here, maybe expand on this as I usually do. Those are 828 00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:16.920 common notes that I write. And the writer was like, oh, well, 829 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:21.639 I didn't really want to expand on it because it's basically a BioShock style 830 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:23.559 twist where blah blah blah blah blah, and I was like, cool, 831 00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:29.440 I have a plea shock, and then I met like, please stop talking, 832 00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:31.360 and then the writer was like, oh, well, to be more 833 00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:42.079 specific, I was like an invitation. So now I'm I mean, like, 834 00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:47.360 I'm really upset. There's a lot more to BioShock than the twist. 835 00:59:47.519 --> 00:59:54.159 Honestly, like that world, the inhabitants, the plasmids, the combat is 836 00:59:54.760 --> 01:00:00.440 really fun, and like, I think it's definitely worth visiting. Go if 837 01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:05.480 you know how it ends. Because also there's some bad shit about that ending 838 01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:07.719 too that just like even Ken Leavin has come out and said, yeah, 839 01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:12.559 I probably wouldn't have done that. Yeah, so there's there's way more to 840 01:00:12.599 --> 01:00:17.199 it. I thoroughly I still encourage you to play it. And then Minerva's 841 01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:21.400 den well, I mean played bios track two is fine. Actually I enjoyed 842 01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:23.880 Vitric two, but Minerva's down the DLC is fantastic. I really want to 843 01:00:23.880 --> 01:00:27.960 play it. Kind of this is kind of what I was I was building 844 01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:30.480 too. It's like, I really want to play one and two in nervous 845 01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:35.920 DN still, but I started Infinite and I have no desire to play Infinite 846 01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:40.280 anymore. I'm absolutely no desire to play Infinite but I feel has like I 847 01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:44.880 loved Infinite when it first came out. I played it a bunch of times. 848 01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:46.800 I tried to do the same thing last year and I was like, 849 01:00:46.880 --> 01:00:52.039 oh, I just can't. I don't know what it is. I just 850 01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:57.119 couldn't get back into it. But maybe I just wasn't in the place for 851 01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:00.719 it. Yeah. I felt the same way when the bios collection came out 852 01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:02.199 and I went back to play through like all three of them again, like 853 01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:04.840 one and two. I'm nervous. Dan. I was like, yeah, 854 01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:07.360 this is great, this is like, this is good. I'm having a 855 01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:09.639 good time replaying these. I got the Infinite and I'm like, I kind 856 01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:15.679 of feel like I'm slogging through this just because it's here, like lower. 857 01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:21.920 Yeah, I think Infinite has the best opening hour. I think one of 858 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:24.400 the strongest opening hours of any game I've ever played. And I think it 859 01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:29.719 has so many good themes and some like great writing, and the new plasmids 860 01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.159 are different. I really enjoy them. Sorry vigas them a plasmids in that 861 01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:37.079 one, and I love so much about it. I just don't know what 862 01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:42.159 it was. But then last summer was a weird one. So yeah, 863 01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:45.639 it's been a weird couple of years, hasn't it. I feel like it's 864 01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:51.599 peaked on twenty sixteen when do we peak? Twenty sixteen was definitely a downturn 865 01:01:51.639 --> 01:01:59.400 in the UK maybe since then? Listen, Yeah, I would say, 866 01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:04.599 I guess to answer the question about like tracking it, I I definitely don't. 867 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:08.440 I have. I have toyed with the spreadsheet idea or with a bullet 868 01:02:08.480 --> 01:02:13.960 journal layout of like here's what I want to prioritize. But I basically came 869 01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:19.159 to the conclusion, like I my time. You know, you only have 870 01:02:19.199 --> 01:02:23.760 so much time, and I want to spend my free time doing the things 871 01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:25.920 that I want to do, and I don't want to feel like I have 872 01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:29.320 to force myself to do things. To some extent, you kind of have 873 01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:31.000 to do that in this job, you know, to be prepared for Game 874 01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:34.480 of the year, Like I'm gonna have to bust my ass playing a bunch 875 01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:37.000 of these games so I can actually participate in those discussions because I've been I've 876 01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:43.000 just been trading shit on nookas on for the past five months or whatever. 877 01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:47.800 But like to for that, I do need to do some stuff that like 878 01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:52.840 maybe I'm not like feeling like I really want to play, but generally when 879 01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:55.400 it comes to my backlog, like I will own like I haven't played Half 880 01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:58.920 Life, and that's fine, Like I don't need to play Half Life to 881 01:02:58.920 --> 01:03:05.400 be in this job, like or you know whatever it is, because time 882 01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:08.000 is precious, and I would I just want to do the things that I 883 01:03:08.039 --> 01:03:12.480 feel like doing, and that keeps me from a lot of games, because 884 01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:15.239 there's games where I'm just like, you know what, this is just not 885 01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:19.719 this is not my cup of tea. As I said earlier, it's not 886 01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:22.559 a thing that I feel like I will enjoy. I'm gonna play some Starry 887 01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:27.679 Valley or or like I really want to play, like I'm excited to play 888 01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:30.519 Ghost of Tushima. I'm kind of winding down on the nooka is on trades. 889 01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:35.239 I was doing like hours per day last week. I've calmed down a 890 01:03:35.239 --> 01:03:37.480 little bit, so now I'll have more time to play some other games. 891 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:40.400 So and Paper Mario, I'm really that's something I really want to play. 892 01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:45.159 So I guess the way I prioritize is just like what do I feel in 893 01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:52.880 my heart and my my hot mind, my mind and my brain. I 894 01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:55.719 don't have a backlog either, like I don't. I don't keep up with 895 01:03:55.800 --> 01:04:00.719 it just because I found that like when I had it, but it just 896 01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:03.239 felt like, I don't know, it felt like more of a chore. 897 01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:06.400 I guess when I had like a list, a working list of games that 898 01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:11.000 I was like checking in to see if I played or see what I should 899 01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:14.000 play next. Meanwhile, I have real chores, like trying to get a 900 01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:17.440 fucking COVID test which has taken. It's just not happening. I have real 901 01:04:17.480 --> 01:04:21.400 shit to take care of. Yeah, I'm gonna play backlog games. I 902 01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:27.280 feel that. I so I do have a spreadsheet, but not for backlog 903 01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:30.440 purposes. When I buy a game, I'm pretty good at least like at 904 01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:33.239 least putting a couple hours into it, and I just track like everything I 905 01:04:33.239 --> 01:04:36.599 played throughout it out the year, just so I like have a reference point 906 01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:41.159 and I have a little Marx category. It's like story completion yes, no, 907 01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:45.360 and it's like color coordinated. But I love that. That's more just 908 01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:47.320 like for my own knowledge about like what I have and when I haven't played. 909 01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.079 But like there's no prioritizing stuff to go back to or anything like that. 910 01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:55.000 It's like I'm gonna play whatever I feel like playing, and a lot 911 01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:57.719 of time it's going to be new stuff, even games that like I would 912 01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:00.440 really enjoy playing that I just like put an hour or two and then stopped. 913 01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:04.159 It's like I probably just won't get to it time wise. Yeah, 914 01:05:04.199 --> 01:05:08.199 I might steal that spreadsheet idea. I like that a lot. Yeah, 915 01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:13.960 that's a lot more useful I found in like this industry than keeping a backlog, 916 01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:16.239 just because at the end of the year, when everyone's talking about their 917 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.320 favorite games, it's very easy to forget a lot of those games that you 918 01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:24.440 may have liked in January when we're in December. So throughout the year, 919 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:26.679 whenever there's a game that I play really like, I just added to a 920 01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:30.840 list, just so when we have to submit our top tens or whenever you 921 01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:33.480 know, that conversation comes around, I've got a list right there, and 922 01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:36.559 I think I've got a list all the way back to like twenty fourteen or 923 01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:43.320 something of all my top tens. So I recommend that. Yeah, that's 924 01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:46.119 I wish I yeah, Like that's the difference between a backlog list and like 925 01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:51.039 a tracking Like I really like that idea, because I do wish that I 926 01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:55.000 could go back and look at like, what was my top ten in twenty 927 01:05:55.039 --> 01:05:58.880 fifteen? I don't remember, like I remember like games that I liked in 928 01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:00.760 twenty fifteen obviously, but I'm like, if I had, like in the 929 01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:04.679 moment, what did I list and how has that changed now? Like that 930 01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.079 kind of stuff is cool and I wish I had that. Well. Anyway, 931 01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:11.639 that's been episode fifty two of Game Spot after Dark.
