But first, please join 7 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.399 me and welcome to today's co host, the Game Mess Mornings. It's Lucy 8 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:43.679 James. Everybody, Lucy, how are you doing? If I'm vexed? 9 00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:48.119 Oh no, not vexed. I'm vexed Jim. I woke up this morning 10 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.799 thinking I hope Lucy James doesn't come in vex today. I hate that for 11 00:00:52.840 --> 00:01:00.479 her. You know why, because this Wednesday mocks every every element of a 12 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:06.200 favorite morning for me. Okay, okay, So for all, I woke 13 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.560 up an hour and a half before my alarm. That is one sleep cycle 14 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.719 before my alarm, so I get one good sleep cycle in. I put 15 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:18.640 on my heated mattress top. Okay, Oh that's good, right, It's 16 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:26.280 raining really hard. And then so that makes that the heated mattress topper like 17 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.079 work even better. Right, Like it hits me, it's just right because 18 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.959 I keep the window open a little crack. How to do it? Lucy 19 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.680 James, you know, Yeah, you're living. You're sliving, I think 20 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.519 is what it was what the kids call. And then my my cat was 21 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.599 like get up, get up, get up for the last hour. So 22 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.480 I have not really been able to enjoy any of it. So I'm vexed. 23 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.319 Yeah, that that's frustrating for sure. My Yeah, Nico Mumu over 24 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:59.680 here in my house, that's my cat's name. He does like if it's 25 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.840 something slightly off about the water food situation. It is six am, and 26 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.240 he's gonna let everybody know. He's twenty five pounds, just a fucking honkin 27 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.080 big boy, so his cry can be very loud. Yeah, it'll wake 28 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.120 us up no matter where he's at. So I definitely feel that. But 29 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.240 yeah, like having everything set up ready to go for that perfect morning and 30 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.719 then have a little bastard dru in it. I definitely know it's a little 31 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:28.719 bastard. Yeah, Peanuts like fifteen pounds, So like she stands on me 32 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.639 and she's like, hi, and she's also pot Siamese, right, so 33 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.439 she's a very talkie. Yes, yeah, people don't know Siamese. Cats 34 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:42.639 are the ones that will just now constantly the fun. I respect this about 35 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.599 cats with this effect. I've learned, like relatively recently over the last couple 36 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.599 of years, they don't me out at each other when they become adults. 37 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.960 They do as kittens, but when they become adults, they typically don't meow 38 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.840 at each other. That is something they reserve for when they want us to 39 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.360 feel like, feel some and there mews like have basically evolved over like a 40 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.199 few one hundred years. Like the ones that have more human baby sounding cries 41 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.319 are even more talkative, like they are specifically trying to manipulate us. And 42 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.240 I love that. I love that, yeah, because I also I chat 43 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.400 to my cat back. Uh huh. Yeah. She knows what she's knowing 44 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.680 exactly how she's working. Well, ahole, and you're like, all right, 45 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.120 here's your here's your food. Yeah, I have a question. My 46 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:35.800 daughter is six, she's in first grade, and she was very excited that 47 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.159 her friends told her that someone was going to break into our house because her 48 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.120 friends for friends told her that they are ninja's and they would come over and 49 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.280 help her. She's like, so the people are gonna bring in, but 50 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.719 it's okay because my friends are going to be here to help us. And 51 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.919 I'm like, I can't tell if she's playing along or if that's like an 52 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.560 imaginary friend scenario where it's like, this is just she wants to believe in 53 00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.280 this fantasy, or is she just that she gullible? Should I be more 54 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.599 worried about my six year old believing her ninja friends are going to come to 55 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.879 my house and stop the burglars from burgalizing my house? Who does she think 56 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.199 of the ninja friends like Dan? No? No, her friends? I 57 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.719 should say. Yes, she's got two friends that are class that are telling 58 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.079 her this. They're telling her a tale and she's she's buying a hook line 59 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.040 at sinker. But who does she think the ninjas are? Like? Actual 60 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.319 ninjas? Yeah? I mean she thinks that these kids are ninjas. They 61 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.079 tell her that they are ninjas, and then the who the I mean, 62 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.680 I don't know who she thinks the burglars are probably Dan almost certainly, Yeah, 63 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:35.399 yeah, Dan looks like one of the the guys from Home Alone. 64 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:42.959 Oh yeah, Harry, uh yeah, yeah, they have a name, 65 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.079 whether they have two names. There's this the Sticky Bandits, Sticky Bandits or 66 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:51.639 is it? Yeah, there's definitely no. They're sticky in the second movie 67 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.800 because he hears the tape and he puts his hand in the thing and he's 68 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.360 like sticky. Yeah. But the first one, the Wet Bandits in the 69 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.879 first movie, Yes, that's right. Who thought that was? Okay, 70 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:11.639 Lucy Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus was. She's done so many terrible things in 71 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:16.279 history, including coming up with the Wet Bandits. Shoot, I love those 72 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.199 movies. Home Alone some good movies. I've only seen the first one. 73 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.360 Home Alone two is great, it really is. You can stop there though, 74 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.240 You're good after that? Ish, you know, sure, I guess 75 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.240 that's fair. But you know, we had we had Home Alone. Absolutely, 76 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.480 we had Home Alone. I just I just don't know why my family 77 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.120 never watched it, like, oh this this little American kid is lost again. 78 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.600 Yeah it must be America. All right, we're good, we got 79 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.240 we saw the first one. We'd get it. I remember watching it my 80 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.560 mom once and she being like, how how the hell are they all affording 81 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.079 a trip to Paris? Okay, we we think that all too. That 82 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.120 would be fair. Yeah, because it's like this, they're all going to 83 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.560 go to Paris or they're all going to go to Florida, uh in two 84 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.519 back to back years. Yeah, it's it's nuts. And then that house 85 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.879 they have in Chicago, it's got to be like set like tens of millions 86 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.399 of dollars at this point. So yeah, yeah, all right, let's 87 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.920 explain what we do here most weekdays, I jef Gred will help piece your 88 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.680 gaming life back together.

All right, we have a lot to get into, so 95 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:42.240 let's start the Morning Mess with PUS five hits fifty million consoles sold. November 96 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.319 twenty twenty three was its best month in PlayStation history for console sales. That's 97 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.000 from Eddie McCoo at GameSpot, Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that the PlayStation five 98 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.319 has achieved a massive new sales milestone, the total number of units sold to 99 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.839 consumers reaching fifty million as of December ninth. This counts systems sold worldwide, 100 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.120 and it bears repeating that this is a sold through number, not a shipped 101 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.800 figure. Sold through would be actually sold through to consumers, not shipped to 102 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.160 stores, which a lot of times companies do mention when they talk about their 103 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.480 console sales. SIE boss Jim Ryan, who was retiring in twenty twenty four, 104 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.800 said the results said, the sales result results is a testament to the 105 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:25.160 unwavering support of the global PlayStation community and their passion for the incredible experiences created 106 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:30.000 by talented developers from PlayStation studios and their partners. This is that's a pretty 107 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.240 fast way to get to that milestone, fifty million consoles sold. There was 108 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.480 a time where it's like, man, that seems so far away for these 109 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.839 consoles that are struggling to meet demand. And now suddenly I'm like, I 110 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.720 feel like I blinked and we're here. Fifty million is more than enough to 111 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.120 be like, yeah, the generation is fully in swing and you could put 112 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.399 out a massive game and sell it to enough people that own enough PlayStation fives 113 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.720 to actually make it make sense. So do you feel like that's like this 114 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.240 marks a change where it's like, yeah, we are here fully in this 115 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.480 generation. Yeah, I think so. I think at this point, now 116 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.399 that they are available to buy easily, I think that's that was the point, 117 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.040 at least in my mind where it changed. The first Actually you know 118 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.720 what it was the first time I saw one in a target. Yeah, 119 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.160 that's like me too, Yeah, back baby, way back. I'm like, 120 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.800 oh, yeah, nature's healing. It's in a target, that's where 121 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.399 I expect to see them, and it's right there underneath the thing. And 122 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.439 there's been times where I would go back, now there are no PS fives 123 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.319 again, but now there's times where I go in there's like there's like eight 124 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.879 PS fives under this Kioskin target. This is now that appels very weird, 125 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.440 but clearly it's like, oh, yeah, they're here. And now those 126 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.000 consoles, both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation five, are so abundant 127 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.879 at this point that both companies have had several, like months long periods where 128 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.240 they have discounted these systems significantly to try to sell even more. That really 129 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.480 makes it feel like, Okay, they are pushing these things in a way 130 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.360 that they did not have to up to this point, and it's like, 131 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.200 y okay, yeah, so we are fully here. Yeah, I just 132 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.320 want to say that, Yeah, I have my PlayStation mug today, but 133 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.279 don't worry, I also have my Xbox One balancing all things equal. Ops. 134 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.559 Here where's your where's your Amiga mug? And your Common or sixty four 135 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.480 mug in in the wash? In the wash? Sure? Yes, totally. 136 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.200 Uh this is like good news for PlayStation obviously. Uh. They were 137 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.159 trying to get back on track with PS five after the slow start because of 138 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.360 the constraint. Uh that that has like washed away those concerns where it's like, 139 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.720 oh, are they going to be able to meet the pace of the 140 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.039 PS four with the PS five. They've done that and now they're they're kind 141 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.399 of outpacing it to a certain extent. This being the best November in PlayStation 142 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.200 history, I mean just goes to show they people are still waiting to get 143 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:52.600 these systems and the demand will continue to be there even though supply is robust 144 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.600 at this point. So just like that wasn't it was like artificial. It 145 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.840 wasn't people feeling just fomo, although obviously that's part of it. And it's 146 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.240 like, I know, people want to play PlayStation five games. There's that 147 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.360 new Spider Man too, that is going to sell like crazy throughout the rest 148 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.960 of the generation. So yeah, they're they're doing really good over there with 149 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:13.639 PlayStation, with getting the PlayStation five to meet this momentum. Do you wonder 150 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.799 it's like, do people begin to say, Okay, that's great, I 151 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.639 got it. Now what's happening next with PlayStation in terms of games that are 152 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.840 coming down the pike because PlayStation has been pretty quiet about that stuff for about 153 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:30.440 a year now. I just feel like they don't have anything. I'm starting 154 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.120 to like, I'm starting to get that vibe as well, like we you 155 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.600 know, that's the vibe like PlayStation it's usually pretty open about what they've got 156 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.320 cooking and who they could surprise us at any moment. But I you know, 157 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.919 what really did is like you know, the insomniac leaks where it's like 158 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.720 we look at some of the spacing of the games that they're talking about with 159 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.840 like that they're working on, and you see the gaps getting larger and larger 160 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.279 between future games, and those are projections that's not going to deal with the 161 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.840 reality of Oh and now we have to delay this same because we need more 162 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.039 time on something. So it's like, even in like the best case scenarios 163 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.399 for some of these studios, they are looking at greater and greater durations between 164 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:11.399 releases, and I think we're in right now is a gap that's created by 165 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.639 just the natural flow of these studios putting up a bunch of games back to 166 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.879 back and now everyone is reloading at the same time. And you know, 167 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.120 that definitely happened throughout this year where it's like PlayStation didn't have a ton of 168 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.240 first party stuff beyond Spider Man. They have filled in the gap by working 169 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.080 with Square Nix on games like you know, for Spoken, but some Final 170 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.799 Fantasy stuff as well, Final Fantasy sixteen. But when it comes to just 171 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.039 first party PlayStation, I think you're right, it feels like they don't have 172 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.440 as much now. If they do have some games in the works, it 173 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.840 seems like it was going to be those live service games, and now those 174 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.799 there's a big question mark on those as well, right, Yeah, a 175 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.519 big question mark obviously, last of USC got canceled late last week. Then 176 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.000 I think, I mean, what are they going to do at this point? 177 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.720 Obviously they got the relationship with Square for Final Fantasy seven rebirth, But 178 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:05.840 then are we looking at more Last of Us Part two PS five versions? 179 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.720 Are we looking at more PC versions of things? Are we looking at more 180 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:15.360 third party deals? Because? Yeah, what is It's weird going into a 181 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.440 year and not knowing what the ten pole PlayStation five release is going to be. 182 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.919 Yeah, and again, and I wonder if they're feeling a bit squirrely. 183 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.480 Yeah, and it's you know, I Jim Ryan leaving. I think 184 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.480 he's kind of getting out while they'reetting getting good a little bit where it's like, 185 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.320 sure, I don't think he's like, oh, PlayStation's in trouble, 186 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.639 but I think it will require some very active management of like navigating this period 187 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.360 coming up where it's like, Okay, we have all this that we're at 188 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.480 this high point, can we go from strength to strength? Well, that 189 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.639 might be more difficult if we don't have a God of War Spider Man Last 190 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.320 of Us equivalent coming out in the next couple of years, And again they 191 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.440 might I bet they will have some very good releases in twenty twenty four. 192 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.000 But whether or not they're going to be able to have the big, massive 193 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.799 releases that they're aiming to have, that seems to be the ongoing question. 194 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.519 Yep, all right. Call of Duty twenty twenty five is a semi futuristic 195 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.080 Black Ops two sequel. This is from Insider Gaming. This is not the 196 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.840 next Call of Duty. It's the next Next Call of Duty, currently known 197 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.879 under the code name Saturn. Insider Gaming has learned from multiple sources that Call 198 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.480 of Duty twenty five is set to take players back to the future and then 199 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.840 he's got a joke here about how that Marty McFly and all that stuff. 200 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.639 But instead it's like the very slight future in a way that the series is 201 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.159 not done. Since Black Ops four in twenty eighteen, the games have either 202 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:41.679 been throwback at games or they've been modern games, not near future. Insider 203 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.440 Gaming understands that Call of Duty twenty twenty five is currently in development as a 204 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.120 direct sequel to Call of Duty Black Ops two, being set around twenty thirty. 205 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.399 Black Ops two is set in twenty twenty five. As such, fans 206 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.519 should expect the return of some fan favorite protagonist as the team faces a new 207 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.120 villain following the death of Menindez blah blah blah. As previously rumored, Black 208 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.559 Ops two remastered maps will be coming to the game, but recent plans and 209 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.960 the scope of the game have changed significantly. Previously, the intention was to 210 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.080 have all of the Black Ops two remastered maps released on launch, similar to 211 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.840 how Modern Warfare twos two thousand and nine maps came back in Modern Warfare three. 212 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.799 At a certain point, this is so confusing because the naming of these 213 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:24.120 games, but talking about the maps that just launched as part of Modern Warfare 214 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.000 three the remastered maps from Modern Warfare two. However, the current plan now 215 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:33.039 is to launch with new maps and remastered maps in conjunction, and this seems 216 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.440 to be to avoid the appearance of what happened with Modern Warfare three, where 217 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.039 people are like, this is glorified DLC. They don't want to have that 218 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.399 same appearance again, so they're going to change things up a little bit. 219 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.720 Lucy. There's not much to say here other than hey, okay, call 220 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.879 of duty. So I think this next one coming up is also a Black 221 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.879 Ops. That might be this Black Ops two that they're referring to. I 222 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.360 think they're actually doing a Golf War Black Ops in twenty twenty four, and 223 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.559 then they're going to have another Black Ops the year after and kind of do 224 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.080 similar to what they've done with Modern Warfare over the last couple of years. 225 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.159 It's yeah, like I said, not much to stay. But like, 226 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.240 do you think that they're going to be able to keep this excitement about call 227 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.440 of duty that they seemingly have been able to do without fail four years now? 228 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.759 But they are at a little bit of a low point with Modern Warfare 229 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.759 three. Do you think this rectifies that and people will be excited about Black 230 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:31.480 Ops? Yeah? Yeah, that's the right notes. I you know, 231 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:39.879 cool of duty for me right now? Is this impenetrable beast? I have 232 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.039 not I dropped off maybe, Like I mean, I played war Zone a 233 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.720 bunch when it first came out with some buds and now I'm just like, 234 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:52.720 I don't know, is Vedansk still there? Are we still out? I 235 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.639 don't know what's happening with I can't even tell you what the latest release was. 236 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.600 It was Was it Modern Warfare? It was Modern Warfare three again? 237 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:07.519 Again? Yes, yes, it's uh yeah, and that that Modern war 238 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.480 for three with maps from Modern war for two. The two thousand and nine 239 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:17.080 game. It's it's it's a mess. Oh my god, have new ideas, 240 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.080 right, I mean, well, you know, and in defense of 241 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.879 like the studio that made that stuff, they were given like eighteen months to 242 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:27.080 put together in three game. But so, like, I get why they 243 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.519 end up putting out like a two hour three hour campaign or whatever that Chris 244 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.080 Judge made fun of and then uh, and then a bunch of remastered maps. 245 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.440 Uh, but who put them in that position? Activision Management, Like 246 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.440 they they completely screwed these studios on this stuff and they were left scrambling. 247 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.679 And I do think there will be some like payment in terms of like the 248 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.519 fanned sentiment that the next game will have to like make up for. But 249 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.919 a lot of people are like, well they disassociate called black ops from modern 250 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.919 warfare. They're like, this is a chance reset things. So I think 251 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.119 they might have a little bit of a benefit there. The other thing I 252 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:10.960 wonder here is All of Duty had a series of near future games where they 253 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.799 had different movement abilities, different movement tech including like wall running, double jumps, 254 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.559 and be able to like jump back and forth in the air and not 255 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.279 boots on the ground. They made a big deal about going back to Boots 256 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.880 on the ground, and now they are going back to to a slightly future 257 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.079 setting. I wonder if there's any chance they embrace that stuff. I think 258 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.880 that's very unlikely, but I think it's time. I would be very cool 259 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:34.920 for me, as someone who's been very happy to go back to titan Fall 260 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.880 two recently. But do you think there's any chance call of duty does that 261 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.519 again, or is that like, no, they're just going to stick with 262 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.319 the boots on the ground. I think it'd be really cool for them to 263 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.680 do future stuff again. I agree. I think they've had a lot of 264 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.039 learnings, certainly from that one. And yeah, like there's so much good 265 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.279 will and sentiment around Titanfall two that people definitely want the quicker pace, they 266 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:57.759 want the wall running, they want the cool shit. Obviously they want the 267 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.079 big mechs in that too. But you know, maybe maybe I do, 268 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.839 Yes, absolutely, yes, I do want I do want the mix. 269 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.000 But I mean, I'm at the point now with Koler g and I used 270 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:14.519 to play quite a lot, oh my god, thirteen years ago same pricing 271 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.720 that I'm just like, I'm switched off by the fact that everything seems to 272 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.680 just be very, very similar. I know card card fans will look at 273 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.000 me and be like, no, everything is actually very very different per game, 274 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.640 and I'm just like, from the outside looking in, it's impenetrable. 275 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.319 At this point, I would love a kind of fresh restart. Yeah, 276 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.000 once you sort of take that exit off of the game, it is so 277 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.160 much harder to care about all that those differences again. And it's like they're 278 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.200 still sell but they're just not yes, you know, yeah, I don't 279 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:51.519 know, they're just kind of It's like a card now is just expected hit 280 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.759 and people it feels like it just feels like people don't talk about Cord the 281 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.880 way that they did because yeah, we're talking about it now and it's like 282 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.279 both of us have that noise you made. It's like, at a certain 283 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.440 point, what else can you say about it? We can speculate about, 284 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.480 Oh, is it is it finally declining? We've done that years ago before 285 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.880 and it went back up and it goes and well I expect it, we'll 286 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.039 go back down and then it'll go back up again. It does feel like 287 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.240 a fact of life at a certain point. And like oxygen, and we 288 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.640 don't talk about oxygen. We we're not gonna talk about call of Duty. 289 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.920 It's it's just there. Yeah, So you know, I mean there's some 290 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.039 interesting aspects about like how they are approaching things. I would like for them 291 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.839 to do some new stuff with the movement, but you know, we'll see, 292 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.400 and if they don't, I'll just continue going back to titan Fall two 293 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.720 whatever and we'll live. I'll play that over break. Yeah, you know. 294 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.599 That's the one real good thing about having the rog Ally with windows is 295 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.559 being able to play some of those shooters to have the anti sheet and not 296 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.599 having to try to struggle to get steam deck to work with all that stuff. 297 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.440 So some of them work better than others. But it's like, no, 298 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.119 it just just works on the Ally. And then you got a little 299 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.640 handheld that can play these great shooters and it runs stuff like that really well. 300 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.440 So I want to like do leveling up in Titanfall two because all my 301 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.599 Titanfall two levels are on Xbox and I'd like to get them on the PC 302 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.079 now the next time we play that. So we have all this stuff unlocked. 303 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.960 Hell yeah, all right, let's take a quick break, everybody. 304 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.200 When we get back, we have a lot more news. We'll talk about 305 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:32.400 it after this. We're back We're back and I got a PSA here for 306 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:37.880 you from Evan Camo game spot Marvel's Wolverine spoilers are spreading after the Insomniac hack. 307 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.480 Be careful when spotting anything online about Marvel's Wolverine for the foreseeable future. 308 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:47.400 Gameplay for the PS five exclusive, as well as the storyline details have leaked 309 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.440 out after the developer, Insomniac reportedly was hacked by a group called Recita. 310 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.039 It has since acute. It has since been a bit accused of trying to 311 00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:59.599 ransom two million dollars out of Sony before releasing private information when those demands weren't 312 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.559 met. Was it accused or was it like they just admitted it, like, 313 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.000 yeah, give us two million dollars. I can't remember how it went 314 00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:08.880 down. In a series of messages on Twitter, Prolific Modern Lance McDonald chronicled 315 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.240 chronicled how the Wolverine footage and details could pop up, with gameplay video now 316 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.480 appearing on sites like Reddit. A PC build of Wolverine was reportedly included in 317 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.960 the leaked data, which could make it easier for spoilers in gameplay to be 318 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.839 shared online. In addition to the Wolverine leaks. The Insomniac hack includes a 319 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.960 ton of personal information for employees at the Sony owned studio, such as employment 320 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.359 forms, slack messages, and internal emails. Unannounced projects from the developers have 321 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.119 also supposedly been released by the hackers. There's little officially known about Wolverine since 322 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.799 the game was initially revealed at a PlayStation showcase in September twenty twenty one. 323 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.000 I didn't even realize it. I didn't realize it was that lone. So 324 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.319 that's kind of wild, right part of me. That's like why I was 325 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.920 like that game could come out in late twenty twenty four. Insomniac's that good. 326 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.759 Turns out that's not going to be the case, but yeah, it's 327 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.279 yeah, so, uh, Wolverine spoil are out there. I did look 328 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.359 at some of this, lucy it is. There's like just early gameplay test 329 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.720 and it's the worst kind of spoilers, where it's like, so much this 330 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.759 shit could change. We have no idea how much of this stuff is actually 331 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.920 solidified. Game development is messy. They iterate a ton there is a strong 332 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.960 chance that the stuff that people are going to see in this and then you 333 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:26.000 know, fanboys might argue about online will be completely worthless because it actually might 334 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:29.960 not come to pass. But yeah, that stuff is out there and you 335 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.599 can like see gameplay tests. You could see I think there's a script out 336 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.079 there, things like that. So a ton of a ton of like massive 337 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.680 leaks for a game that could be very different by the time we're actually playing 338 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.279 it. But yeah, this this the whole hack we talked about on the 339 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.559 BombCast yesterday. If you want to like get the news about some of the 340 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:53.880 details about games that are coming that sort of stuff. But other than that, 341 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.359 these like specific details kind of don't see the purpose of like, hey, 342 00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.440 here's what the game test was like, because again, it could change 343 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.720 a lot. Although I get what if you're interested is from an academic point 344 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:10.559 of view, I understand the I you know, I guess I didn't realize 345 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.039 that the impersonal information included stuff like slack messages and internal emails like like nine's 346 00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:22.079 possible skills. That's so violating, right, God, it's like you imagine, 347 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.640 like we were respectful and like our slacks and stuff like that. Still 348 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.079 if our slack messages like wait, well okay, I told you to go 349 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.640 fu yourself, don't kidding, Listen, I am. I'm very respectful. 350 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.559 Uh if that stuff got out there, I would be like, oh man, 351 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.480 I feel exposed. I feel vulnerable and that like I just kind of 352 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.880 like won't feel safe talking at work anymore. That's it just sucks so bad 353 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.000 for everyone involved. And wait, John just said, oh god, my 354 00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:55.680 slack messages to myself. Yeah. Yeah, you don't keep your h your 355 00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:00.400 notes to yourself in slack. I ad some stuff, no, all right, 356 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.720 mostly just like how I'm feeling about Lucy James today. Okay, God, 357 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:06.440 damnit, son of a bitch. She used the word vexed. She 358 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.440 came in vexed, and I told her never to do that. It's unprofessional. 359 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:17.920 Oh I god, yeah, I just I mean, like I started 360 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.880 using Incognita the other day just to like get my personal information off the internet, 361 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:25.279 and like imagine just like logging on one day and being like, oh 362 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.960 sick, all my personal shit's been leaked mm hmm, and then oh cool, 363 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.039 it's the holidays. I'm gonna have to stop all my credit cards. 364 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.640 I'm gonna have to report fraud. It's like, why, Yeah, it 365 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.039 did happen to me with the ESA. I was in there and I got 366 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.839 a call from Oh you got got yea. Oh yes, Someone who had 367 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.240 been a real shithead during gamor Gate literally called me to say, hey, 368 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.920 you're on this list and it was like, oh, this is fucking I'm 369 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:55.880 eating dinner right now with my kid. Yeah, this fucking sucks. So 370 00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.279 yeah, and that felt very exposed and ran on mind to go like figure 371 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.519 out what was going on. And then everyone was talking about it. So 372 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.319 yes, I've been through that, and it does. It really is like, 373 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.160 Okay, there's my address. Thankfully, at that time, it was 374 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.640 like that's my old address that I just moved from, So that was something, 375 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.160 but that wasn't true for everybody. Just a wild situation. So yeah, 376 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:22.759 I've heard I've heard her stories about people like sending Google Maps pictures to 377 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.200 people of where they lived. And I think we were lucky that yet because 378 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.240 we were exhibitors so we went on that list. Yep. But yeah, 379 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.920 I mean it happened to a lot of my friends and it was terrifying. 380 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:40.799 It's so weird, So definitely feel for the people at Insomniac dealing with this 381 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.920 and then and then yeah, and then and then all that information out there, 382 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.079 it's like it is a ton of like just like raw data and a 383 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:55.039 lot of cases and stuff that is out of context, and it's I've already 384 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:59.519 I've already seen I've already seen some fucking people who don't understand game development. 385 00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.400 Quote to with this looks like, shit, oh my good to make a 386 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.720 loooking video game. It was like, oh my god, I hate that 387 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.880 so much. We don't know anything, yep, And they're just like, 388 00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:17.279 you know, okay, there's bok, there's a wolverine sniffing section, and 389 00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.920 you like they're just testing this idea out everybody who knows. There's just no 390 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.799 way to know what this is going to be like in the final game, 391 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.960 and like it's all placeholder ship. So like there's a big sniff in sound 392 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.119 effect that he does and it's like funny, but it's a test. It's 393 00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.039 it's not meant to ever be seen by the public, so that you could 394 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.359 like it could like taint your perception of this game. And so now that 395 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.119 it's out there, that's like people, it's so frustrating because you know, 396 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.160 internally they're like, yeah, we we feel safe testing these things because it's 397 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.279 only going to be seen by our eyes. And then to have that that 398 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.000 switch flip and be like, no, a bunch of assholes on the internet 399 00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.000 are gonna see it and comment on it. It's like, God, it 400 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:02.640 really would be very again, very exposing, and I would feel very vulnerable. 401 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:07.359 So feel for everybody at the studio. Yeah, Final Fantasy seven reverse 402 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.200 main story takes forty hours to be You know what, this is a mini 403 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:12.200 Dregs Day, Lucy. I'm sorry to say with this the kind of news 404 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.400 we have today Dregs Day. So when TAM's on on Fridays, we talk 405 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.680 about Drugs Day because it's like there's just not a ton happening on Fridays. 406 00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:23.640 Usually we're at that point where it's December twentieth and there's just not a lot 407 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:29.880 of news happening. So you finishing Christmas shopping, I'm mostly mostly Yeah, 408 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.599 I'm gonna take the girls out on one more excursion so that they can get 409 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:38.319 something for their mama and then we'll make a day of that. Now that'll 410 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:42.319 be then then I'll definitely be all done. Yeah, but Friday is going 411 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.319 to be my day. We have to Yeah, I'm everything. Yeah, 412 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.039 it's like Friday. Do you are you worried about like crowds or anything or 413 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:53.759 is that not going to bother you too much. No one shops and Frances 414 00:27:53.920 --> 00:28:00.119 anymore. Haven't you seen the dead shoping either? You're going to do one 415 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.480 of those organized mass lootings. Just do one of those. That's what. 416 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.559 That's all I ever see. I tell how people shopping SF No. I 417 00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.960 I was actually talking about this with my friend Andrew the other day because we 418 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:17.160 were discussing presents because we were doing like friends Christmas and do you guys do 419 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.519 you guys do like a uh the secret Santa sort of thing. No, 420 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:23.640 we do presents for everyone. Okay, that's fine, that's that's intention. 421 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:29.599 Yeah, it is. I was at TAMS at the weekend and we did 422 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:32.440 some of the presents then because some people are going away, and then we're 423 00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:37.319 doing some on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve because I've got like two little Christmases, 424 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:38.960 which is great. But we were talking about it and I said, 425 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:45.480 I'm probably gonna go Friday. I'm gonna go, you know, get the 426 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.200 last bits from my list. And he was very sweet and he was like, 427 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:51.079 can I come and join you and we can just knock it out together, 428 00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:55.160 and I just went, I love you. No, I need to 429 00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:00.039 be like a navy strike team. Yep, I get out out. I 430 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.880 don't corner. Yeah, like I I'm afraid I can't. I'm afraid I 431 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:07.599 can't do that. I feel exactly the same way. It's like I'm so 432 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.319 much more efficient on my own than if there's anyone else around me. I 433 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.200 just and I need to make this happen and get it all done. So 434 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:18.880 how many people is this? Is this? Like? Is it like a 435 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:26.319 significant I mean, so I'm going to the Miller's obviously, so see them, 436 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.160 my godson, and then our friend group's pretty pretty big, and we've 437 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.920 got a bunch of us going round to the Scovilles. So I think like 438 00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.839 ten or so maybe it's that's what the number. It's like, Yeah, 439 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.079 that's you gotta really think about everything there. Yeah. We we're also like 440 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.880 everyone's bringing like a little a little thing to cook. So I'm gonna have 441 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.319 to hit up Traded Joe's or Whole Foods to get some stuff and I'm gonna 442 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.119 make it. I'm gonna make an orange a chuckle orange bread and butter pudding. 443 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.720 Oh that sounds fantastic. Yeah, that sounds really good. Yeah. 444 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.039 I got my present from Jeff backlar me too. Yeah, I got a 445 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.119 desk mat with a man that is like a pixelated man who's outdoors. I 446 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:14.359 don't know what do yours look like. I got a desk mat with cat 447 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.759 paws on it, and he wrote a very nice note and then at the 448 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.839 end and he said, I got you something with cat pauson, but if 449 00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:26.039 you want to switch it to dogs, let me know Backlar. Always be 450 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.559 selling, always be closing the deal with dogs. That's fantastic. He YEA 451 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.599 Final Fantasy seven rebirth main story is going to take forty hours to beat. 452 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.960 I might just put this in here because Final Fantasy seven remake is a game 453 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.440 I liked a lot, and it was just a bit too long for me, 454 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:45.559 just a bit. How long was it? It was like, how 455 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.519 long was it? It was like thirty five to forty hours? Right, 456 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.839 I think I got like thirty hours in and I was like, still very 457 00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.319 happy with it. It was just I lost momentum. And that's mostly me. 458 00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.319 That's not really a problem with the game. But I guess, you 459 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.680 know, I'm glad they're saying forty hours and not like, Okay, now 460 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.279 we're going to expand this one to sixty hours and the next will be eighty 461 00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:10.079 hours. Or anything like that. I'm glad that there is some constraint on 462 00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:12.240 it, but yeah, I don't know. I'm getting pretty excited about this. 463 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.359 I really enjoyed playing Final Fantasy seven remake, and I think this is 464 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.839 really going to scratch an itch next year. And I suppose, Hey, 465 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.680 this is a big PlayStation five exclusive, right that you were talking about Sony 466 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.720 not having much, but they still have those partners putting out games and that's 467 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.200 going to fill in a lot of the gaps for them. So that's pretty 468 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:32.119 good. Yeah, I think that is cool. I'm excited to get back. 469 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:37.119 I might play it. I keep saying. I keep saying I'm going 470 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:38.200 to be playing this over break. You're gonna be playing this over Break. 471 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.960 So maybe I won't, but maybe in January because thing he got delayed in 472 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.680 it Alone in the Dark, which I was weirdly intrigued by. Yeah, 473 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.440 that you didn't get delayed again, or is that like early next year you're 474 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.240 saying March now? It was January, okay, And it was supposed to 475 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.640 come out this year at some point and then they were like, oh no, 476 00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:59.039 too much coming out. Yeah, I'm like, God, look at 477 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:01.759 Alan Wake. Jesus Christ got to get away from that thing. Yeah. 478 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:06.039 I'm also very curious about Alone in the Dark, mostly because I like what's 479 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:10.400 his name? David Harbor Jody Cooma, Yeah, big big comer and harborhead 480 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:15.759 over here all right. Anthem has sold at least five million copies. This 481 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.440 is from Jonas Maki at Game Reactor. After creating some of the best and 482 00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.359 most memorable single player RPGs of all time, BioWare suddenly decided to dabble with 483 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:27.480 live service games and released Anthem back in twenty nineteen. It was by far 484 00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:30.599 their biggest and most expensive game. Unfortunately, BioWare lacked the expertise on how 485 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.400 to make this kind of game, and despite some pretty good and creative gameplay, 486 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.799 it lacked in pretty much every other department, with a weird loot system, 487 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:42.720 tedious leveling, and an empty world that did not encourage people to continue 488 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:46.200 playing. This led to poor sales and Biowaar ultimately canceling the game after initially 489 00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:49.640 trying to save it. But how much did it sell? Thanks to a 490 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.359 new linked in post from a former BioWare employee discovered by timber two to two 491 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.319 on Twitter, we now have the answer. It turns out the game actually 492 00:32:55.319 --> 00:33:00.160 started started out fairly well, with two million units shifted in its first week, 493 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.920 and during its lifetime reached five million copies sold. We assume that a 494 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.200 lot of these were at a heavily dis kind of price, so the numbers 495 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.160 alone don't give the whole picture. That's fair. But at certain points, 496 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.079 like Man, two million copies sold in your first week and eventually getting to 497 00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:19.319 five million at any price, you would expect that would be enough in most 498 00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.799 cases. And it's like, if it's not that there just feels like there's 499 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:29.400 something rotten underneath the surface. For like the way that the industry approaches these 500 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:31.039 games. I don't know, or is that number not enough? What do 501 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:35.599 you think, Lucy? I mean not enough for EA. If you think 502 00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:39.839 about EA's numbers with FIFA and everything, Yeah, that's not that's not enough, 503 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:44.359 end sad. I mean Anthem had a lot of problems. Genuinely, 504 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.160 I thought the flying was great. I genuinely thought they should have been making 505 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.559 an Iron Man game instead of whatever it was that Anthem became. But yeah, 506 00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:54.599 they had a rough few years of it, didn't they, Because I 507 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:59.240 mean, Dragon Age is great, and then they had Mass Effect Andromeda, 508 00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:05.680 which and then yeah, into Anthem yep. And what was was that the 509 00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:09.320 last thing that bio I released, they did Mass Effect Legendary Edition, uh, 510 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.679 which is very good. Yes, and they did a very good job 511 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.559 on and they deserve credit for that, although of course, you know it's 512 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:20.480 a remaster, but yeah, hey still get credit for putting out a very 513 00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:24.400 good compilation. So you know, yeah, if we're talking about big new 514 00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:28.800 games from them, they are on a missing streak. They're on a streak 515 00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.519 of missus and uh, that's why people are definitely worried about Dragon Age for 516 00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:38.000 Dragon Age Dreadwolf Rightdwolf. Yes, you know, what's that egg be up 517 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:44.280 to? I know that fucking that fucking weird egg. Yeah, you know, 518 00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.639 As always, I continue to hear people internally are very happy with that 519 00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:51.199 game. You know, who knows how that translates to us eventually playing it, 520 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.079 But the excitement internally is strong. They are pretty happy with it. 521 00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:58.079 And yeah, it's taking some time, and it's taking a little extra time. 522 00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:04.039 They go and they got rid of a lot of the staffs who helped 523 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.320 make Dragon Age great, yep. And that forced them to take a lot 524 00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.239 of people who are working on the next Mass Effect and move them over to 525 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:13.239 dragon Age, so they could actually get that game done some as effect, 526 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.400 it's going to take even longer. But yeah, I mean at a certain 527 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:22.679 point, like by Aware had to buckle down and really kind of like and 528 00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.679 they had to slim down because they haven't made money in years for e A 529 00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.760 and so this was always going to happen. Obviously, you point a lot 530 00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:35.079 of that at maybe at EAU, but at EA they also feel like, 531 00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.480 hey, yeah, BioWare made a lot of poor decisions as well. There's 532 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.039 blame to go around, at least in terms of the people who run the 533 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:45.760 studio. So there's a lot riding in dragon Age. But I think if 534 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.599 dragon Age comes out and as a game that sells six million copies or more, 535 00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:53.440 it probably should be okay because it's going to be a different game than 536 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.159 Anthem, which was supposed to be a live service game, and really it's 537 00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.519 like five million copies sold that that probably didn't matter as much as the engagement, 538 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:02.119 how much of people actually playing this. And at a certain point, 539 00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.920 no one was playing Anthem and it wasn't worth saving, and they made that 540 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:07.519 decision they were going to save the game, and they're like, no, 541 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:10.119 we're gonna pull the plug on it and go make Dragon Age four and uh 542 00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.440 yeah, Dragon Age Rereadwolf, and that's probably the right decision. I mean 543 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:21.679 even got inquisition and multiplayer. Yeah some reason. Yeah zaw. That five 544 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:24.679 million number is kind of becoming the break even number. We saw that in 545 00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:30.119 some of the Sony The Sony data that least out Insomniac as well is five 546 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:34.440 million copies solds break even for many of their biggest games. And it's like, 547 00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:37.199 okay, yeah, as budgets get up to two hundred three hundred million 548 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:42.639 dollars, that's going to be the norm. It's like, how many, 549 00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:46.280 right, how many of those games can like actually come out in a year 550 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.599 and all sell that number? Answers? Not not enough of them. Many 551 00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.480 of them are going to fail, so uh at that it's insane, You're 552 00:36:54.559 --> 00:37:00.760 right, all right. Zero ninety nine new update is now lying adds limited 553 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:05.000 time Frozen Night League. This is from Leam Doolin at Nintendo Life. One 554 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:07.119 of the highlights of twenty twenty three has been the surprise release of zero ninety 555 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:12.199 nine, a new Battle Royale racer exclusive to Switch Online. While Nintendo said 556 00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:15.599 no more new tracks would be added to the game, it's not completely done 557 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:19.599 with content updates. In a new update today, it added the limited time 558 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:23.000 Frozen Night League event, where snow falls across all of the courses. In 559 00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:27.360 addition to this, the latest update has also added some other content, and 560 00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.239 it comes with some fixes as well. Lucy, I like F zero ninety 561 00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:35.320 nine a lot. I like like winter events and video games a ton. 562 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.519 I want more of them and a bunch of stuff mostly out of this one. 563 00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:43.199 So I can ask you, what is your favorite Christmas y video game? 564 00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.800 I tweeted this yesterday? Did I missed it? Okay, we are 565 00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:52.320 all not my favorite, but I think Disco Elysium is a pretty good Christmas 566 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:54.559 game. Yeah, I saw you, and I'm like, oh, yeah, 567 00:37:55.199 --> 00:38:00.079 because it feels very flinty and cold that game. And that's what and 568 00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.679 I do like that about that game a ton. It feels like it could 569 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:07.280 take place in Minnesota parts of Yeah. I also I also think the sound 570 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:16.440 effects are very it's a word to describe it, very warm sounding, the 571 00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:22.480 way the subtle piano key when a choice, when a decision gets made, 572 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:27.559 the way that the way that classic CRT Christmas bulbs like have that warm glow 573 00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.639 to them. The sound Effect has a similar quality to it. For sound, 574 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:35.360 yes, definitely. Oh, the Discosium Sea Power soundtrack is my working 575 00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:39.320 music at the moment. I've been I've been working to that Gone Girl and 576 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:45.199 the Gone Girl Trenton Resnor and Atocus Ross soundtrack, but I do chores to 577 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.840 the SIMS soundtrack. Oh that makes sense, Yes, get that shit done. 578 00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.800 Yes, absolutely, So that's a good Christmas game. I also think 579 00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:59.159 obviously Batmanockham origins Christmas game. That's right, Yeah, totally. She says 580 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.199 it Christmas. In terms of what is a game, I always used to 581 00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:06.000 think Assassin's Creed with my Christmas games because they would always come out towards the 582 00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:09.599 end of the year. Sure. Yeah, Like Donkey Kong Country is that 583 00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:12.559 for me? And that big part of it. I really like the snow 584 00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.360 levels in Donkey Kong Country that where the snow is like covering most of the 585 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.320 screen. It actually makes the playing it kind of miserable. But I still 586 00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:22.679 liked it a ton. Yeah, but it's like, oh, it's not 587 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:27.159 necessarily quote unquote a Christmas game, but I have those associations. Uh Marvel's 588 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.519 uh spider Man Miles Morales is at Christmas and that opening sequence where you swing 589 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:36.639 through the mall. That's like super duper Christmas e to me, I just 590 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.079 my personally. I wonder what Lexi thinks is a good Christmas game? You 591 00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:45.119 forgot? You forgot the Yakuza game? Yeah, because that fine? So 592 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:47.639 many of them, many of them are Christmas games? Are they? Are? 593 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.039 They? Oh? But I play them in the summer. I never 594 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:54.079 play them at Christmas though. That's the thing, so in my head, 595 00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:59.840 even though even though Kiriu is dressed up as Santa, that's a summer cent 596 00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:04.400 Chances the Canada level and Tonyak's pro Skeater three that's very Christmas y. Yes, 597 00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:08.840 that's great Christmasy. Yeah. Yeah, No one said it because they're 598 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:12.239 right not to say it, but the mic was saying it last night. 599 00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:15.880 Christmas Nights for the Saturn. Yeah, I actually like Christmas Nights way better 600 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:21.239 than actual nights. I'd rather just play Christmas Nights. But let me google. 601 00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.960 I don't think i've Christmas. Yeah, Christmas. It's that Ugi Naka 602 00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.559 sort of the two point five D side scrolling flying game, and they had 603 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:37.360 a I think if you played nights on Christmas and you had like the date 604 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:40.880 for the Saturn was set and if you like, like open the game that 605 00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:44.159 day. I think it turned into Christmas Nights. But then I think there 606 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.199 was also a standalone version of it. I think that's right. Yeah, 607 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:54.719 when you played Simpson's Road Rage on Holidays, it would unlock a special character, 608 00:40:54.760 --> 00:41:00.440 and I think the Christmas one was Homer. I think in the car 609 00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:02.679 that he designs for his brother. But it's the center version of it. 610 00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.800 Yeah. Yeah, I also animal crossing. I've like doing any animal crossing 611 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:14.119 stuff on Christmas and even throughout the winter when it starts snowing. Love that 612 00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:15.840 stuff. Not a kind of I wish I had time in my life for 613 00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:21.719 animal crossing, all right. Luigi's Match to HD for Nintendo Switch has now 614 00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.360 been rated by the SRB. This is from my Nintendo News. The remake 615 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:28.840 of Luigi's Match of Two HD for the Nintendo Switch has now been rated by 616 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:32.639 the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The ESRB rated the spooky game as E for 617 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.199 everyone Really. The state has yet to be announced for the Ghostbusting Adventure, 618 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.000 but it currently is penciled for for a summer twenty twenty four release window. 619 00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:44.639 We should get a firm release date near that time. For now, here's 620 00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:46.800 the rating summary. It's it's an adventure game in which players assume they roll 621 00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:52.440 Luigi. Blah blah blah. There's some slightly scary ghost. That's all it 622 00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:58.880 says. Oh no, mild, yes, mild peril. I hope Luigi's 623 00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:01.719 Matcher two gets a little bit of a glow up with this HD re release 624 00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:06.760 where they edit it and similar to how they sometimes edit Zelda games to make 625 00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:08.360 them a little bit better when they bring them back, I hope they do 626 00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:13.519 that with Luigi's mentioned too. A game that's like okay, could be a 627 00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:15.800 lot better if they made some changes, but who knows if they're going to 628 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:17.920 give it that kind of love. They probably won't. That's probably mean misplacing 629 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.719 hope on some of that stuff. Sad news, Lucy, Zack Snyder is 630 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:27.639 willing to direct a live action Fortnite movie. So that's a really good headline 631 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.519 from Zach swiz in at Kotaku. Zack Snyder film director and guy who spells 632 00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:37.400 Zach correctly. And that's from Zack Swizen. He's out promoting his new Netflix 633 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:40.320 film Rebel Moon, but because he's talked about ethics, popular Battle Royale shooter 634 00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:44.480 Fortnite in the past, people keep asking him about the Game, and recently 635 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.119 someone wondered if he would be willing to direct a movie based on the franchise. 636 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.840 According to Snyder, he said, of course he would, and of 637 00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:55.760 course he would. Of course he would like his movie's already. What's he 638 00:42:55.840 --> 00:43:01.239 gonna say to that question? Christ But also it's like like his movies are 639 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:06.320 so devoid of like actual content that if it's just a bunch of characters getting 640 00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:09.239 smashed into one another, honestly, that's his fucking wheelhouse. That's like perfect 641 00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:15.880 for If it is the slow mo, gritty violence, then yeah, good, 642 00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:20.119 I would watch that. I was excited about this Rebel Moon Lucy. 643 00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:24.039 And have you seen the reviews for this thing? Yeah? It is getting 644 00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:29.719 fucking stunted. Is it? Is it Charlie Hunnum in this one? Is 645 00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:36.719 it that one? Was Charlie Hunton in the Wachowski's one sci fi movie a 646 00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:44.559 while back? No, that was that was Channing Tatum. Yes, yes, 647 00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:47.719 sincere anarchy guy. Yes, he was right. Yeah, this one 648 00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.599 has Sophia Battella, so it's got Ed Skrine in it. I think it 649 00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:59.119 might have like both of the versions of Dario Naharis from Game of Thrones in 650 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.639 because I halfway through they replaced him, right, Yeah, we're trying to 651 00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:06.480 get track of all the syllables you're saying, and now I know exactly what 652 00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:09.599 you're referencing. Yeah, Els, what are you doing in this film? 653 00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:13.880 You don't need to do that. Yeah, oh, he's he's got to 654 00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:16.960 be like one of the bad imperial dudes that they have in that movie. 655 00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.800 The Wild Thing is like Rebel Moon. I don't know if people I assume 656 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.440 most people have seen the trailer because they like made a big marketing push. 657 00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:28.960 But it's look pretty good. Yes, absolutely. I mean, of course 658 00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.719 he would make stuff that looks good in trailers. But Zack Snyder's like, 659 00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:35.400 hey, this would be my Star Wars. This basically my Star Wars, 660 00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.239 and it looks like, Man, this looks in some ways more exciting and 661 00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:43.000 more action packed than a lot of the recent Disney Star Wars stuff we got. 662 00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:45.880 I bet this this could be way bigger and better than some of that 663 00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:50.159 stuff. Even though I don't think higlie of Zack Snyder at all. I 664 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:53.440 like his his zombie movie or Early on a Day of the Day Watchman, 665 00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:59.079 Yes, and Watchman, I'm pretty okay with I think Watchman is a good 666 00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:02.559 job, does a good job capturing some of the vibes of of that comic, 667 00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:08.000 But they're saying that this movie is excruciatingly boring. Like I'm like, 668 00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:12.480 how does that happen? How do you make something look like that looks as 669 00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:15.119 cool that boring? So I still have to see it for myself. I 670 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.719 did see someone say that it was like a I wrote it. Yeah, 671 00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:25.320 I wouldn't be surprised. Then yeah, uh all right. And then finally, 672 00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:30.519 several n Video ArtX four thousand supercards are supposed to launching in January. 673 00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:32.440 Just a heads up for people if you were thinking about maybe getting a GPU, 674 00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:37.280 maybe wait just a little bit. Because a couple months back, and 675 00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.800 this comes from Answer Heating It Destructoid, we mentioned how in Video was possibly 676 00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:45.639 writing readying a range of RTX four thousand super graphics cards. Well, there's 677 00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:47.400 been some developments on that front, and it looks as though the Team Green 678 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:52.480 might be launching several new products come early twenty twenty four. According to a 679 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.480 report from Video Cards with a Z and, the video is set to launch 680 00:45:55.559 --> 00:46:00.440 three new GPUs beginning the second week of January, and embargo list shows that 681 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:04.559 supervariance of the forty seventy, forty seven and TI and forty eighty will be 682 00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.679 releasing throughout the month. It also appears as though the company will release be 683 00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.400 releasing them in stages, starting with reviews and following this up with on shelf 684 00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:16.559 launches soon after. They've done these supercards in the past. Basically, it's 685 00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:22.280 like, hey, they got better at getting yields out of the better performing 686 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:27.599 chips on their wafers, and so they can kind of tune things up a 687 00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:31.199 little bit and get all you just got very good at getting every little percentage 688 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:34.880 of performance out of their stuff, especially over time, and they improve their 689 00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:38.920 processes. So they have productized that and put them out of supers before and 690 00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:43.679 now they're doing it again. This also, I think this also signifies that 691 00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:46.559 the four thousand series is going to last quite a bit longer than some of 692 00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:51.679 the more recent Nvidia generations. So we could be happy with our four series 693 00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.119 short yes, And in hindsight, that seems like it was a pretty big 694 00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:00.400 mistake for them because there was just no appetite the four thousand series for most 695 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.400 parts. That'll probably perk up with this a little bit, But uh, 696 00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.599 basically, what this means for you, listener, is if you were looking 697 00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:12.800 to get a GPU, wait for this, because it probably means the GPU 698 00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:15.760 are already eyeing is going to be a little bit more affordable. That probably 699 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:20.320 will continue to happen. I have a thirty eighty that I need to sell. 700 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.199 Yeah, I got I got some other cards around that I need to 701 00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:28.800 do something with. They can't just lay here. I gave like I had 702 00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:32.079 a big plan for the holiday. Is a big clear out geart. That's 703 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.320 a good idea. I got an old Razor laptop that I was never happy 704 00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:39.880 with I should have sold a while ago. Well, it still had some 705 00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:44.639 of its value. Yeah, I still have one too. Actually that's a 706 00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:47.119 good point. Yeah, so stupid of me. But yeah, and then 707 00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:51.920 I got a bunch of GPUs lying around that I have from my testing era, 708 00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:53.639 And I'm like, oh I gave I gave a couple away, like 709 00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:58.119 a mic one and I think Sean. I think I give Turble Sean one. 710 00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:00.199 If I didn't, I might have one Stell. But yeah, I 711 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:02.960 think I'm just gonna keep giving these away until we're no longer taking up room 712 00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.679 on my shelves. I saw I saw a thing on TikTok the other day 713 00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:10.280 because I'm such a fucking mark, I know, but there is a from 714 00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:15.639 thet I haven't bought anything, it's an idea. So there's you know those 715 00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:21.840 spinny wheels. Uh. This girl put like a like a pick wheel, 716 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:23.079 you know, you spin it and you have to get the thing it lands 717 00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:31.079 on. This girl put every draw cupboard box in her apartment shelf on this 718 00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:37.239 wheel and she just spins it and then she just declutters that small thing. 719 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:42.559 And so it's a very nice incremental way of getting through everything. And I 720 00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:45.440 thought that was so cool. So I've done that in my apartment. That's 721 00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:50.760 going to be my fun, gamified way of clearing out my crap, of 722 00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.679 convincing my brain. I actually really do like this because that's the only way 723 00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:58.719 would actually get done. Like you gotta take you gotta take everything out of 724 00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.760 the space in the space and then decide if you're going to keep it, 725 00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:07.360 donate it, or like maybe, And if it's a maybe, then it's 726 00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:09.440 kind of an automatic keep and then you put it all back neatly. Yes, 727 00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:14.280 I think for me, it's like the mess is never compartmentalized. It 728 00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:19.280 is all just one big thing, a big entity that exists up in the 729 00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:23.039 clouds of this is mess that is everywhere and breaking it down into smaller component 730 00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:25.039 parts. It's really hard for me. So this game sounds like No, 731 00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.760 that's actually how you accomplish that is you make it a little thing that you 732 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.719 do. Yeah. I like that everything has a place, but I just 733 00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:37.559 have too many things. Yep, same here, getting kind of frustrated by 734 00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:44.360 it. All right, I got a poll question from Monday, and let 735 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:46.000 me actually refresh this, make sure we have the most up to day data 736 00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:51.400 here from our voters here. All right, there we go. Is this 737 00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:54.559 Mario Luigi in this old footage of Mario sixty four, And this is actually 738 00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:59.159 an image poll so people can kind of see what I mean here. This 739 00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:01.679 is from that old Space World footag from nineteen ninety five of Mario sixty four 740 00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:07.800 where we got that two player footage of two Mario like characters running around. 741 00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:10.599 The character starts out looking red, but when he lands looks very green, 742 00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.079 and many people are convinced it's Luigi. I'm like, ah, the VHS 743 00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.320 footage, I don't know, but eighty two percent of people thinks I think 744 00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:22.199 that is Luigi. Uh, And then only eighteen percent are like, no, 745 00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:24.440 that's Mario. I'm still like, I don't know. It's hard to 746 00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:29.239 tell because he looks kind of transparent there and not actually green. Uh. 747 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.519 And I've learned over time I cannot trust my eyes to really know what I'm 748 00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:37.159 looking at, especially with a kind of low fidelity image of a screen recorded 749 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:42.159 over a camera and then like SuperM posted on another screen. It's like, 750 00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:46.480 ah, the color data could be completely unreliable here. So but hey, 751 00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:52.679 eighty two percent to say that is Luigi. We will have do I I 752 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:54.440 don't think I actually have a new poll question for next time, because we're 753 00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:58.239 not gonna be back until next year. Maybe we'll just come back for the 754 00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:00.400 last show of it? Is this the last show of the This is the 755 00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:07.920 last show of the year, That's right. I don't know. I was 756 00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:10.559 gonna say, like, uh, I don't know, are you ready for 757 00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:14.920 Christmas? Ready for the break? I don't know. When we get back, 758 00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.960 it's like that'll be all be behind us. So and it's not exactly 759 00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.239 easy about hey, what are you looking forward to in twenty twenty four? 760 00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:23.679 Because I might go through a million comments or whatever, and that's the you 761 00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:29.599 know, time consuming it's work, and I don't like working, but yeah, 762 00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:31.159 you know what, We'll just we'll skip the new poll question in the 763 00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:35.719 meantime, though, Lucy, Uh, what else do we have going on 764 00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:37.079 this week? We're not quite done, Like, yeah, this, this 765 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:40.960 show's done for the year. We'll be back early next year with more Game 766 00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:44.920 mess mornings. But there's a few more things happening on Giant Bomb and I 767 00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:47.480 assume overran GameSpot before the end of the year. Yeah, So on the 768 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:52.320 game Spot side, what have we got. We've got a bunch of kind 769 00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:57.760 of stuff that we've put together, like things look forward to best of twenty 770 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:00.000 twenty three obviously, and then things look forward to in twenty twenty five. 771 00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:05.840 We've also got a couple of podcasts that we've pre recorded. We've got we 772 00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:09.039 did a really fun one with Jacob McCourt to get excited about. I think 773 00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:13.719 that one's going up next week. We recorded that in the office on Monday. 774 00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:22.400 Maybe trains blog. I don't know. At jan Ochoa and we're doing 775 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:24.920 we're doing a Lethal Company today. I need to I need to copy paste. 776 00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.280 That's what I'm gonna do because I'm recording Jef Jeffer's Adventure in half an 777 00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:34.519 hour because we're doing like three episodes in one ago and then we're doing like 778 00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:37.400 the finales. We're filming all of that today and I'll go out overbreak. 779 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:42.280 I need to figure out the Lethal Company mod stuff that you sent. Yep, 780 00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:45.679 the instructions aren't in slack. Give it a shot. If you need 781 00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:47.920 any help, just let me know. But yeah, it should be pretty 782 00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:52.840 straightforward. But yes, it's especially Let just make sure the files are in 783 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:53.840 the right place at the end of the day, that'll be it. But 784 00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:58.199 once once they're in there, you started the games normal, you'll see a 785 00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:01.159 little command prompt with dope pop up. Just leave it and just go go 786 00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:04.199 to the game you get minimize it. Do I need to do it? 787 00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:08.440 Tutorial? Uh no, there is a tutorial, but it's honestly, we 788 00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:10.920 had way more for all. I think all of us skipped a tutorial when 789 00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:15.159 we played last week, and it was a lot more fun having no idea 790 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:17.760 what to do or what was going to happen. It was pretty pretty good 791 00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:22.599 time. So yeah, awesome that, yes, that will be at let's 792 00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:27.119 see here, we're doing Blight Club today at one thirty pm Eastern, and 793 00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:29.960 then I think I only have about an hour and a half. I wish 794 00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:30.920 I had a little bit more time because I think I could probably finish that 795 00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:32.960 game if I had a little bit more time. But a ninety minute is 796 00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:36.719 going to be tough. Well, I mean we're doing. I mean, 797 00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:38.880 maybe we do push it back by half an hour because Jeff Jeffs is staring 798 00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:40.599 half and all. Okay, you guys, yeah, you guys, just 799 00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:45.360 keep us posted. We'll start Lethal Company when they're doing with Jeff Jeffs everybody, 800 00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.159 so just kind of stick around. And if that's the case, maybe 801 00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:52.400 we'll just keep a Blake club going until that last minute. But Lethal Company 802 00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:55.360 will happen this afternoon, and then yeah, over the holidays, we have 803 00:53:55.400 --> 00:54:00.719 a few pre recorded things to look forward to. Lists, yes, and 804 00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:04.360 there's a lot of guest list and then a lot of our Game of the 805 00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:07.360 Year list. We started getting those all in the system, thanks again to 806 00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:09.360 Marinos helped with a lot of the guest lists. We're starting to put ours 807 00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:13.880 in there as well, so look out for all that stuff. But yeah, 808 00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.239 I think that's gonna do it before say all the good guyes, just 809 00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:20.440 hey, thanks everyone for a really wonderful year. I really like doing the 810 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:22.360 show. It's hey, it's nice to get a break, but part of 811 00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.199 me is always like I like my days better when I do Game Miss Mornings. 812 00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.960 So and that's that's to having people like Lucy on Lucy You're fantastic, 813 00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:35.039 And then it's great. It's due to the audience. You guys are very 814 00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:38.039 engaged. It's a very nice to speak to people who are who are interested 815 00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:42.840 in actually having real conversations about video games, and so I really appreciate everybody. 816 00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:45.239 It makes my entire year. So thank you for watching. We'll be 817 00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:50.000 back next year strong, starting off twenty twenty four. Like I've already have 818 00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.239 like a bunch of ideas about what to do with Giant Bomb. I am 819 00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:55.199 with game Miss Morning, so tune back in for all that. Lucy, 820 00:54:55.320 --> 00:54:59.519 thank you so much for spinning today talking with me about video games. I 821 00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:02.239 really apreciate it.
