00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.719
Rob akas in joining me today,
my favorite people in the world. Uh,

3
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.200
controlling this ship, making sure we
don't crash into anything. Ryan,

4
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.719
how are you may hit a few
bumps and like, you know, things

5
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.320
here and there, but we're doing
all right, good king turbulence. Yeah,

6
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.359
just just yeah, it's a little
bit too but now do it,

7
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.359
okay. Um. It was literally
a sleep catch up to day for me.

8
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.920
Um, but uh, you know
we're here, are you getting things

9
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.840
ready? Doing uh, you know, just doing things at least trying to

10
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.400
love anyway. I love that.
Let's let's all try to do things.

11
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:17.159
That is my h That is my
goal for the upcoming week. Try to

12
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.079
do things. Try to do things. Yeah, because this weekend for me,

13
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.000
I didn't get anything I wanted to
do done. It has been like

14
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.280
the most least productive, like I
want to say, like the passion maybe

15
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.439
like two three weeks for me,
or I just keep putting everything off and

16
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.319
I'm like, God, I just
need to stop doing stuff and do things,

17
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:45.079
if that makes sense. If that
makes sense. That wonderful voice that

18
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.879
you just heard is a Drew Stopher, How are you am? All right?

19
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.719
Oh? It's another day in the
life of Drew. Yeah, I

20
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.159
don't know. My life's not exactly
exciting. I gotta play some video games.

21
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.000
That was cool. Oh yeah,
I don't know. I feel like

22
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:07.159
I didn't do much this week and
then like yesterday, I played a ton

23
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:15.199
of video games and then I just
kind of existed in for like today.

24
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.599
I don't know, it's weird.
Uh. I still need to get that

25
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.120
Deep Dive episode out to you guys. Um still working on that. It's

26
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.439
been hard to be productive this week. I don't know. It's that time

27
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:34.000
of the year. I guess.
I can't believe it's almost May. Yeah,

28
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.000
I mean I want these video game
releases to come out, but also

29
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.599
like I don't want my life to
like fast forward slip away, so an

30
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.680
existential crisis. Is there anything big
that's in May? I kind of there's

31
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.360
like all messed up two years of
the Kingdom. Oh okay, okay,

32
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.439
that's that's the one. I mean, now that's the big one. I'm

33
00:02:54.439 --> 00:03:00.360
personally looking forward to the Hall a
Live. I don't showdown Fighting. It's

34
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.439
going to be coming out next isn't
next Weekday to date. They did May

35
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:10.560
fifth yep. Oh shit, yep. And they revealed the final character as

36
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:16.159
well, which is uh you Coco
Cocoa huh, which was like, oh,

37
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:23.120
okay, I'm cool. I can't
believe they did that. There's a

38
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.520
lot of lore behind Kidio Coco,
yes, and and and you know,

39
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:34.000
I'm a big fan of Caisson and
there there is there is a connection there,

40
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.639
there is yep. Um so I
uh I saw that and I immediately

41
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:45.520
like sent that to Jose who was
a fellow Coco Caisson Appreciate tour and uh

42
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:46.560
yeah, that just kind of like
blew my mind. I was like,

43
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.120
these fuckers, I can't believe they
did that. Yeah, I'm playing Coco

44
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.240
and uh in Corona. Remember free
free to play this this this this game

45
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.479
is free to play, and I'm
excited all back that came out. I'm

46
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.280
wanna check it out too. Like
I think the pixel art's kind of adorable

47
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.280
too, so I definitely want to
check it's good. Yeah, there's some

48
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.159
there's some jakiness with a few of
the characters that I'm like, oh,

49
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.319
sure, kind of missing some frames
here, but overall, like the overall

50
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.959
look in the production around is actually
very good for like a little free side

51
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.959
project. Yeah, exactly. That's
why I'm kind of like, listen,

52
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.800
this is a free thing there.
They'll obviously clean it up a little bit

53
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.560
later and things like that or so, but I'm definitely gonna be blind and

54
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.519
I'm I think my character's own players
is gonna be for Boogy and botm Okay,

55
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.759
okay, yeah, I think those
are the two I'm want to play.

56
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.519
I know, I lived through V
two ers through like just random clips.

57
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.600
I think the one I resonate the
most with is Corona because she's just

58
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.959
a fucking gremlin. So I'm probably
gonna play Corona. I mean, yeah,

59
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.759
she does indeed. But yeah,
they announced today being uh May fifth,

60
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.199
when that releases. Cool. Um, so those are probably so here

61
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.720
here's the full May list checkout case
anything speaks out. None of these really

62
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.759
speak out me. Besides Zelda,
we have Agel Wonders four, Red Fall,

63
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.000
Super Dungeon Maker. Want to check
out Red Fall. I've been hearing

64
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:20.120
some pretty interesting things about that.
Raven Locke Death or Treat Darkness Dungeon two.

65
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:26.439
I guess that's a big yeah.
Um, E's nine most from Knox

66
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.519
the PS five versions coming out May
ninth. Uh. Lord of the Rings

67
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:36.959
here of Middle Earth? Uh?
What's up? Does Jedi following Survivor Last

68
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:42.199
Survivor? Yes, because originally I
was supposed to come out well this month

69
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.720
or last month, so I got
pushed back in a little bit. Okay.

70
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.560
Yeah, so that's that's a that's
a pretty big release. I still

71
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:58.120
need to play the first one.
Great game. Let's see Humanity Firmaments,

72
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:04.079
Lego two K drive, Ink Bound
after US Amnesia, the Bunker, Bread

73
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:15.199
and Fred farming simulator twenty three ye
Bro Farmer simulator. Like legit sells millions

74
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.399
of fucking copies and it's insane to
me. Uh. Lord of the Rings

75
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:25.160
gallam is finally coming out at the
end of the May month. Company of

76
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.720
a Hero's three and System Shock Oh
knock the big one? Is that a

77
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.800
remake? Yes? Oh okay.
I was like, didn't the game come

78
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.240
out like thirty years ago? Yeah? They they end the remake some time

79
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:45.600
ago. Um, it's been in
development for like quite a while. Um.

80
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:53.040
Thinking about it, it's been getting
like steady updates. Um, but

81
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.279
it just hasn't like officially released.
Um. So that's very cool that they're

82
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:02.040
finally like about to drop it.
That's that's I think June's gonna be a

83
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:09.000
much bigger month though. Have yeah
Street Fight or six, you have Diablo

84
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.959
four, your Final Fantasy sixteen,
you have Ghost Trick, Phantom, Phantom

85
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.800
Detective, Story of Seasons of Wonderful
Life. Um, there's just so many

86
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.600
big titles just coming out in June. I mean you probably could have just

87
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.720
stopped that Street Fighter six, Diablo
four, and Final Fantasy sixteen. That's

88
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.920
it. Like that, that's the
story. That's really it. That that's

89
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.199
the three and everything else, the
things that are in their shadows because you

90
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.560
don't want them to get missed,
very big shadows. Yeah, Like it's

91
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.560
true, Like it's great to point
out the smaller things. I am right

92
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.759
there with you, but like,
let's be real. What that month fucking

93
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:54.199
is probably ninety that is releasing their
game in June. I am so fucking

94
00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:05.480
sorry. Yeah, I'm so sorry. Oh then ah, but that's cool.

95
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.439
We we gotta we have exciting months
coming up. That's dope. It

96
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.759
still I guess we gotta wait for
like I was gonna say, E three,

97
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.600
but that's not a thing, definitely
not. No. No, we

98
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.279
gotta find out what pronom isn't you. Oh, it's true. They're just

99
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.800
gonna show up at the convention Center
by themselves, just like where nobody go

100
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.199
Ain't nobody's gonna make it here.
They're gonna have like six different versions of

101
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.879
Silent Hill with them, and they're
just like where what do we do?

102
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.120
It's gonna be the fresh Prince?
Uh fresh Prince? What the video games?

103
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.919
What are games? Are video games? But I guess we wait for

104
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.679
for Summer Games Fest and all of
the stuff around that before we get a

105
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.840
good look at what the what the
fall is going to be, because I

106
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.120
think that's still kind of a question
mark for everybody, um, outside of

107
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.159
like Spider Man two for Sony.
Right, Yeah, I'm curious what the

108
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:03.840
holiday lineup is going to be considering
our year is such an insane uh time.

109
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.639
You know, I want to say, didn't they uh when we were

110
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.120
talking about metro Vanians and stuff I
got before the show started out? Didn't

111
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:20.320
they just announced a release date for
Blasphemous Too? Yes, they showed it.

112
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.440
Was there a release state attached to
it? I think there was.

113
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.919
I think so I thought there was, but I wasn't sure. I think

114
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.720
there was. Let's I'm just seeing
twenty twenty three, just twenty twenty three,

115
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.120
so I'm not sure I win.
Oh okay, so yeah twenty three,

116
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.799
but they trailer I gotta go back. Oh man, I please.

117
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.639
I get lost in that game and
then those games and I don't know where

118
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.360
to go, and then I'm just
like, I don't I don't like being

119
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.759
lost. It's pretty easy to get
lost in that one too, and it

120
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.200
doesn't do a particularly good job of
being like, hey, this is where

121
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.639
you left off and this is where
you should go. Yeah, you kind

122
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.519
of have to wander about till you
trigger something. But I've been a buddy.

123
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.559
I really liked the game a lot. It's definitely a favorite. It's

124
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.600
one of my favorite games that that
came out, whatever year it released.

125
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:18.320
Twenty twenty one, I think that
studio was releasing another game that looked pretty

126
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.639
cool too, but I can't remember
what it was off top of my head.

127
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:31.519
M I hear police, Oh shit, what Drew do? Yeah?

128
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.000
No, I live on a main
road. So um bear bear? But

129
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.360
uh yeah, that was That was
pretty good discussion on what's coming up.

130
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.519
But let's talk about that now.
Let's talk about what people have been have

131
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:52.080
been doing. Um Brian, Yeah, you've been up to friends. So

132
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.159
I've been playing this game called Eternal
Return. Oh yeah, I've been back

133
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.480
in that game. It's funny,
it's kind of bringing that back. Um

134
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.759
yeah, you know, I've been
wanting to put time into it. Just

135
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.799
man, I've play play that game. Man, listen. Um, I

136
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.720
have been finding myself getting back into
this game more and more again because like

137
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:20.200
the quality of life changes and everything
that it has been in that game has

138
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.039
been so good and it's just like
you know, all the just neat stuff

139
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.840
they've added to it and everything's like
that, and I felt like there's like

140
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.600
now multiple ways to play, Like
you can either try to survive and be

141
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:39.559
the last one or you can just
get the fuck out either or I you

142
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.000
know, I don't know because I
played by myself and I don't like teams,

143
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.559
so um understandable. I'm like,
listen, if I fuck up,

144
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.799
I have myself to blame. I
don't want that aspect with the team.

145
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.399
So uh yeah, every time I
play Pokemon Unite, That's how I feel.

146
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.519
Yeah, So that was that was
the biggest draw for a ton of

147
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.360
a time for me, Like initially, right was the fact that like,

148
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.559
hey, I don't particularly like hate
this genre of game, right, but

149
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.440
like the team aspect of like mobis
and stuff that are like this like gives

150
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.360
me personally like a lot of like
team anxiety, and I don't like that.

151
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.879
Um. So, like having something
like this that I could go in

152
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.279
solo and play was like a big
draw. Yeah, it still kind of

153
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.639
is, even though I do play
duels Withdrew from time to time. It's

154
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.159
like I could always just boot it
up myself well then just not have to

155
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.080
worry about teammates like in my own
time, you know. Yeah, although

156
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.679
to be honest, like I didn't
enjoy the one time when we were playing

157
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.120
trios and like I think we were
like the last, like one of the

158
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.080
last two teams standing, and we
just literally spit the entire time just making

159
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:52.320
a bunch of traps and like,
yeah, that was fun. We just

160
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.960
had like nine hundred traps set into
where like that was the only spot they

161
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.799
can go through to be able to
get to this area. So they all

162
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.480
had to like this arm all the
traps everything. We just obliterated them.

163
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:09.519
It was funny. It was funny. Um. But uh yeah, um,

164
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.679
I've been playing that game a lot. Um. I recently unlocked Tazia,

165
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:20.000
the glass Shard character. Oh yeah, the glass sword. Um,

166
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.879
she's really really cool. I really
like her a lot. Um. Yeah.

167
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.360
So, like her gimmick is like
her que attack, right, like

168
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.519
she shoots uh glass swords everything,
and then when they hit something, um,

169
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.120
they form like this glass crystal and
everything, and you go and you

170
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.360
collect the crystals, and once you
collect like five crystals, your next qu

171
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:48.799
attack is literally like a MegaMan buster
shot. Uh. And like you'll see

172
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.720
this giant glass short sword right behind
beside you and you watch that thing.

173
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.240
That thing will take off like seventy
percent health like d like, like it's

174
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.559
literally a MegaMan buster shot. Um. And then she also has um like

175
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.120
a little uh like kind of like
dash move where like as she's collecting the

176
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.000
crystals. In this dash move,
she does like a sword swipe and everything

177
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.600
that is like takes like hits anything
in a radius. And then she has

178
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.200
another one where she puts out like
a glass wall that's like a stunt that

179
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.279
then will materialize into two crystals and
then you collect those in anything and you

180
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.159
just basically that's what you do.
You just continuously try to charge up your

181
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.639
buster shot. Basically by attacking and
collecting these crystals and then you just get

182
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.320
one mega shot in that will like
obliterate a character's health. Yeah, so

183
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.440
like she has a little bit of
a degree of difficulty with her yes,

184
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.840
um, but like she's been a
lot of fun and it's just like it's

185
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:52.360
such a weird, like like kind
of like character for me to play and

186
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.559
be like, oh, this is
actually fun because let's be honest, I

187
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.639
like playing Nikki and I like punching
things. So you know, there's that

188
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.279
um A stell. Another one I
like too, the Firefighter girl. I

189
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.279
like her esthetically. I remember trying
her a little bit, um it like

190
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.360
I did it vibe too much with
her at the time, But I do

191
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.480
like her, Like she's a very
cool character. Yeah. So, like

192
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.440
it's just been a lot of fun
to get back into that game and just

193
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.080
be playing it and so like everything
and it's just like like I feel like

194
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.720
like when we were trying to introduce
like all the changes and so I got

195
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.679
there, it was definitely having that
feeling of hey, we're going to throw

196
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.240
a bunch of stuff against the wall
and see what works and what doesn't.

197
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:41.320
And now I think considering you know
how they've kind of melted everything together and

198
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.240
kind of fine tune things the way
you know they did everything. The game

199
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.240
is definitely a very enjoyable game to
play, Like, I'm definitely having a

200
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.240
lot of fun getting back into it
and stuff like that. So I've been

201
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.639
kind of like this, you know, playing that a lot lately. Now,

202
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:03.120
the cute times I've been getting in
the game easily a couple of minutes.

203
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.159
Yeah, So I have been getting
in games more frequently. And I

204
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.960
know they did some changes as well
to where like they made it to where

205
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.480
like, hey, if we got
fifteen people in this game, we're not

206
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.480
gonna wait for three more players,
let us go ahead and light stuff.

207
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:21.159
Okay, So they kind of lowered
the amount because it used to be like

208
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.480
yeah, they're like because originally it
was like, Okay, we got to

209
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.639
wait for all eighteen players to be
in this thing before the game launches.

210
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.120
Not now it's just like, okay, we got fifteen Okay, cool game.

211
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.000
Yeah. Yeah. I imagine when
you have like a lower account,

212
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.799
they probably like speed up the clock
or something. I think they used to

213
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.200
do that. I think, so
I that's one thing I didn't really kind

214
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.639
of like push it a little quicker. Yeah that's one thing I didn't really

215
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.879
keep track of, but um,
but I mean it would it makes sense.

216
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.279
Yeah, that's cool. Yeah.
So I've definitely been enjoying my time

217
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.440
with that game, getting back into
it and stuff like that. Um.

218
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.200
Another game that I'm messed around with
a little bit, uh was God of

219
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:11.799
Rock. Um yeah pick that game
up that. I love the concept of

220
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.279
the game. I love what they
try to do with it, so I

221
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:22.160
cat but there is a lot to
pay attention to and there it's and like

222
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.920
even going through like the tutorials and
stuff, I got everything, there's still

223
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.039
like a few things in that game
that doesn't necessarily make sense to me.

224
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.559
Um. Like the one character I
was trying to play was Rosette. I

225
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:38.279
think her name was the girl that
you know has the spray cans. So

226
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.559
I got everything, yes, And
like sometimes like a game and like she

227
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:48.880
starts off with zero meter and I
don't know why that is, um because

228
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.599
like and I got Admittedly, I
gotta go back in then like try to

229
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.160
delve into a little more because I
don't remember if they have like character specific

230
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:03.240
tutorials or not. Um in the
game. Um. But like in game

231
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.559
when you're doing like an actual match
and stuff like that. There's a lot

232
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:08.759
of things you gotta pay attention to. And I think honestly as well,

233
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.119
like I don't think that game plays
particularly well for game pad. I feel

234
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:18.880
like that's a game you actually have
to play arcades to con ummm because like

235
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:23.279
because like some of the input stuff
they have is like um like square like

236
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.480
square and circle are like a double
input and stuff like that, which for

237
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:32.559
me on a controller that's kind of
hard to do. Um you're not using

238
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:37.920
like the directional pad with it,
no, because I don't think I don't

239
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.799
it's does a directional pad of work? It should? It might be something

240
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.839
you have to turn on in the
settings it does. Maybe I feel like

241
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.599
you would probably tackle it the same
way you do with like a Miko game,

242
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.720
right where like right, yeah,
yeah, which is what I which

243
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.599
is what I thought originally, But
like I felt like a couple times,

244
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.440
like I felt like that wasn't working
for me. But like I said,

245
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.359
maybe it's just stuff I gotta turning
it is a setting. Uh Okay,

246
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.279
Well that AX finds it, um
because like I know, like with the

247
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.799
like the thumbsticks and so I got
that's how you gotta like input your specials

248
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:19.799
and stuff. I got anything right? Um so yeah, um I've seen

249
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.400
people playing this on stick too,
so maybe that that also would work as

250
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.359
well. You know, you could
probably do either or yeah, I gotta

251
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.039
find I gotta find out, Like
I know, like, uh, I

252
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.079
think it was Scrot. I saw
that was playing this game on our on

253
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.200
arcade stick, which is which was
kind of weird for me, you know,

254
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:37.640
and I was like it was because
I was like, wait, man,

255
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.079
he's a pad player. Why is
he playing this on stick? Um

256
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.119
so ah, yes, we play
fighting games on pad and we played rhythm

257
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:52.640
games on Stay exactly. Um so. But I mean, but I love

258
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.240
the concept of the game. It's
like rhythm game fighting game, like mixed

259
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.759
the two together, and it's like, I think it's a very unique thing.

260
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.119
I just gotta hop I think I
just gotta hop back into it more

261
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.160
and try to figure out more.
But man, there's it is a learning

262
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.440
curve. There's a lot to pay
attention to the two between like doing the

263
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:15.000
inputs of like the rhythm game aspect
and then making sure you know you were

264
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:22.000
spending your meter in spots and stuff, and like it's there's it's a lot.

265
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.599
It's a lot to pay attention to. And they they put in some

266
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.880
new characters too as well that weren't
wasn't in like the demo and stuff like

267
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.440
that. So I think it's like
maybe eight or ten characters they have in

268
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.240
total um for it. So um, I'm definitely going to try it again.

269
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.599
But like I know, like the
first time I'm I try to play

270
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.799
it stuff like that, and I
was just like, whoa, what is

271
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.759
going on? There's like way there's
and like I know, I know,

272
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.839
like for me personally, like sometimes
when I'm trying to pay attention to multiple

273
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.400
different things, it gets really really
hard for me to kind of enjoy because

274
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:02.400
this is kind of like what's going
on? But it feels overwhelming? Yeah,

275
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:06.400
yeah, And it definitely felt that
way a little bit for me.

276
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.559
That's how the demo was for me. Like I played a couple of games

277
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.200
and I was like, I like, what's here? This is a lot,

278
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.799
And like I personally just wanted to
wait for the full version because I'm

279
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.319
like, I know, I'm gonna
have to spend like I don't know,

280
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:23.160
probably weeks just like parsing through what
this game is. Right, Yeah,

281
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.480
it's gonna take me, like me
personally, it's gonna take me a very

282
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.200
long time to get used to what
this game is asking me to do.

283
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.359
Yeah. Yeah, And I feel
like that's kind of going to be the

284
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.000
same thing for me, like as
I try to figure it out more and

285
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:41.839
stuff like that. So um,
but there was also another rhythm game I

286
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.640
checked out that was kind of like
an indie developed game, and it's a

287
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.680
rhythm game that's called Loud. Is
what it's Calloud? Yes, so it's

288
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:57.000
an indie developed game. Um,
it's the way it's design know is very

289
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:02.960
reminiscent to Persona dancing yep. I
was about to say that immediately upon looking

290
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.440
at the Australia yep. So yeah, So like there was two and there

291
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:12.000
is a DLC expansion that's with it, because there's like the one that's called

292
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.519
like a Road to Fame, and
then there's another one he called that's like

293
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.680
road to My Road to Japan,
My Trip to Japan. Yeah, so

294
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.960
like it's to the like it's almost
I think in a sense, I haven't

295
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.640
messed with the Japan one yet because
I've been doing the Road to Fame one,

296
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.440
which it has like a little story
element you know, you do play

297
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.960
as a character that's trying to make
it into the music world and things like

298
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.480
that. You get to change up
her look too as you like unlock things

299
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:45.559
and stuff like that. But um, if you played Persona Dancing, you'll

300
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:51.160
be very familiar with how this game
plays because it's that same thing where you

301
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:56.359
have like your six icons and the
inputs are coming from the outer part of

302
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.640
the screen to where you have to
do your inputs and stuff. So and

303
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.119
immediately as well playing this, I'm
like, I want to play Persona Dancing

304
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:10.000
again. Um yeah, because how's
the how's the music in it? I

305
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:15.160
mean it's got some alternative Um so
it's like like alternative rock, um,

306
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.839
you know, things like that and
everything. And I mean this game was

307
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.160
a pretty recent release too. This
game released in February this year. Um

308
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:27.960
yeah, so hyper Strange Studios.
Yep, it's their first game. Oh

309
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.039
no, they've done a couple of
different things. Yeah, but like it's

310
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.799
it's it's been. Like I said, it's a pretty fun game to kind

311
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.160
of go through. Um and like
I said, if you played for some

312
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.000
Dancing, you know exactly what you're
getting into with it. But the music

313
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:49.160
is it's definitely more alternative rock based
things like that. Um, and it's

314
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.160
pretty cheap too. I mean I
think I got the bundle for like fourteen

315
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.599
bucks or something like that, or
might be on sale for twelve dollars.

316
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:02.680
Yeah. Yeah, so based game
itself is ten bucks. But if you

317
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.559
get the bundle, which I recommend
as well, just you know, pay

318
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:11.240
the extra three bucks, it's fine. Um but yeah, I definitely uh

319
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.519
and it's now the Trip to Japan
one. There's a lot of jay rock

320
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:21.400
uma so and I want to say, like some of the music is from

321
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:26.200
like some actual jay rock groups and
stuff too. So oh yeah, okay,

322
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.519
I see that here some licensed song
performed by a couple of different groups.

323
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.279
Yeah. Yeah, so that's cool. Yeah. So I would say,

324
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.519
you know, if you like rhythm
games and you're familiar with Persona dancing,

325
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.200
definitely give it a try. It's
like I said, it's got a

326
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.720
it's got a little bit of a
story element to it where you go through

327
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.920
and uh, you know, see
how this character becomes what she becomes and

328
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:56.720
things like that. So and it's
got some neat little uh looks to that

329
00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:59.480
character and everything. Because like the
game, when you're playing it, so

330
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.359
like you're playing through the music.
So I got your characters kind of like

331
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:07.000
in the middle of the screen and
are like strumming their guitar like Alec guitar

332
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.759
and stuff I got and everything.
So I thought moments where they were just

333
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:12.519
like struggling on like an air guitar
or they had like a broom in their

334
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.960
hand, and I was like,
Okay, this is pretty pretty wholesome.

335
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.839
Yeah yeah, so yeah, so
it's got so let's got a little bit

336
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.039
of a story to it and everything. So um. But yeah, those

337
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:27.720
are really the only three games I
really been messing with UM lately, so

338
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.920
I can't obviously, you know,
I'm still kind of in counting down mode

339
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:40.000
for Street Fighter six in June.
UM and then now mentioned earlier the whole

340
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.799
Life Idol fighting game. Yeah,
we'll get into that too. U.

341
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.440
So yeah, that's been pretty much
it as far as games that I've been

342
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:55.079
playing. So okay, nothing else
else sounds that great love that UM juice

343
00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:00.400
for You have been playing some video
games here and or there. I have,

344
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.880
Uh, well, I guess,
uh most of the video game I

345
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:08.799
was playing is I really got to
dig deep into Octopath two. Yeah,

346
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.279
but I mean I really only scratched
through the first layer. Um, I'm

347
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:22.720
about twenty hours in. Um,
about twenty hours in, I've acquired all

348
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:27.640
eight of the travelers in the game. Yeah, party, you do get

349
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:34.880
an achievement for that. But you
have Oswald the Scholar, you have Casti

350
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:42.480
the apothecary. You have tenemos or
ten memos, it's a really weird name,

351
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:52.240
the cleric. Uh. You have
Ochet the hunter. You have it

352
00:26:52.440 --> 00:27:04.799
was p oh partiio partisio the merchant. Well, I'm a blank and I

353
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:14.119
had like I rehearsed this in front
of a mirror almost, um Frick who

354
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:25.200
is a oh Idea the dancer?
UM? Who was the t I didn't

355
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:33.480
mention? Oh thrown A the thief
and Hikari the warrior. UM. So

356
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:40.480
I think the first thing that I
really like about these classes is these classes

357
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:48.960
are really juxtapositioned by these character personalities
in ways that I wouldn't expect, especially

358
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:56.559
like based on UM Like the first
game, for example, let let me

359
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.880
look at the dancer. So you
have Primrose as a dancer in the first

360
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.519
game, and you have Ignea as
a dancer in the second game, where

361
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.720
Primrose is like she works in a
brothel, she has like a really sad

362
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:14.680
backstory, like pretty much like that's
the best story in the original half of

363
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:19.599
that I feel, um and uh, then you have Agnea, who's like

364
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:26.000
the most wholesome character ever and I
love her to death and her backstory is

365
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.519
like just really like warm, fuzzy
feelings, just like really sweet. Like

366
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.680
I'm this character just puts a smile
on my face, which is like what

367
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:38.960
she wants to do, and I'm
like, all right, I'm here for

368
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:45.359
it. Yeah. And then you
have Oswald, who might be my favorite

369
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.759
character. Um, like Hikari was
my protagonist, but like I went and

370
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:56.240
did Oswald's like chapter one, which
was weird because he's actually two chapters.

371
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.160
Like so basically, when you do
the chapter one, it dissolves a party

372
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.839
and you go through the chapter one
where you only control that character in order

373
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:10.640
to tell the story right as to
like why these things happened. For example,

374
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.720
like in the first game in Primrose
chapter in Prim's chapter one, like

375
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.319
her friend dies and she's like I
need somebody to help get help, and

376
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:19.519
like, well, if you had
party members during that chapter, that wouldn't

377
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:23.160
make any sense, right, Like
they dissolve the party and so it's just

378
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:30.079
that traveler. So like with Oswald's
chapter, it's like, hey, you

379
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:32.920
won't be able to resume control of
your party until the end of his chapter

380
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:37.720
two, and I was like,
whoa. And his story so far has

381
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:42.519
like the most intriguing so far because
his is a revenge story. It's very

382
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:49.279
similar to Prim's almost it's definitely a
revenge story. But I swear to god,

383
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:56.680
Oswald's just a villain. Like,
okay, his backstory, he's not

384
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.759
a villain, like he is the
scholar. He like I won't go into

385
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.680
too much details, like he is
a good man until he is put on

386
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:11.119
trial for a crime he didn't commit, and now like he is seeking revenge

387
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.000
to like get the guy that put
him in the situation that he's in,

388
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:25.400
and like it's the most intriguing and
like Oswald just acts like a villain in

389
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:30.839
like his quotes, his lines,
his actions. They switched around like what

390
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:34.920
each class's path action is almost so
what they did is there's a day and

391
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:41.200
night system in after Path two,
and each class has it's it has two

392
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.599
different path actions. So like in
the first game, Scholar had the scrutinized

393
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:52.640
Path action, which was like villainous
read. It was like it was like

394
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.680
learn about an NPC, but there's
a chance you could fail, and like

395
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.599
that would ruin your reputation. So
like in the day, that's what the

396
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:04.839
scholar has and that's what Oswald happens. At night, he has a new

397
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:11.440
path action called mug. Oh,
we're stealing shit. So so what I

398
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:17.880
really like about Octopath two is like
there are certain situations in Octopath one where

399
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:21.799
if you didn't have a certain party
member because you needed said path action,

400
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:26.200
even though they were like pseudo tooth
path like there are really only four path

401
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.759
actions, but like some characters could
do it and some characters couldn't. And

402
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:36.039
then like the Thief pack path action
was just tied to the thief, so

403
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:40.519
you had to have theory on a
lot of the time. They kind of

404
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:45.279
just did away with that, and
like they made so many different ways to

405
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:49.880
do path actions that like you don't
feel limited in your party building because you

406
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:56.319
can still only have four party members
at a time. So in terms of

407
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.359
like getting items from MPC, you
can have the thief thorn steel, you

408
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:06.759
can have the merchant Partio buy,
or at night you can have Oswald mug

409
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:12.119
them, which is fantastic, because
that's what just makes me realize this dude

410
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.359
is just a straight up villain because
he's sitting here, he's mugging these these

411
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:22.000
like townsfolk and PCs of the Earthly
Belongings, and the dudes quotes when he's

412
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.519
like in battle, because what it
does, it's like when you muke somebody,

413
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:28.920
it goes into a lack of battle
where you fight the NPC and if

414
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.599
you win, you get all their
items, and so his quotes are just

415
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:37.640
like very just it's probably the voice
actor too, but he just comes off

416
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.880
as very villainous. And I'm like, bro, you do not seem like

417
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:46.880
a good It's great, Like I
don't trust this guy. He's just he

418
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:51.000
has like the coolest attack ever.
So they gave the Scholar, like I

419
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:55.640
knew it's at called Elemental Burst,
and basically what it is is it does

420
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.839
three to five attacks, just a
random element between fire, ice and lightning,

421
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.640
and the more that you boost,
the more attacks it has. So

422
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:12.240
like if you boost once, it
goes from three to five to four to

423
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.759
six, five to seven, six
to eight, seven to nine, and

424
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:20.480
so like when you're doing these NPC
battles and like the way it's balanced is

425
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.079
it's supposed to hit random enemies,
but once there's only one enemy on screen,

426
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:30.319
it just attacks that one enemy like
nine times. And so if they

427
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:35.720
have a lot of elemental weaknesses,
like if they have like fire, ice

428
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:39.319
and lightning like as weaknesses, you're
just hitting their weak point every time you

429
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:45.359
do one of this. And so
dude is just like doing these fucking finger

430
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.039
guns, Like he's just doing DVZ
blast. It's animated so fucking well,

431
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.480
and like it's just it's my favorite
attack of the game. It's so cool.

432
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:54.920
And he's just like going, she
does like finger guns a couple of

433
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:59.480
times, and I'm like, bro, you are absolutely a villain. That's

434
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:04.359
great. He sounds amazing. People
love him. You will love him.

435
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:10.480
Character. Uh, he is great. Another character that I really like.

436
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:14.199
He was the last traveler I got
because I thought I wouldn't like him.

437
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:22.639
It's a cleric U tenemos and this
guy is given some like freaking elector from

438
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:30.960
from Trails vibes like he is a
cleric, but like he's very laxadaisical and

439
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:36.239
like, so his whole his whole
deal is he's the he's the church's inquisitor,

440
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.039
right, and so like, uh, they pair him like in his

441
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:44.800
intro chapter it gets a very like
straight man a holy Night, and so

442
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.920
you can kind of see the juxtaposition
of like, hey, this man is

443
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:51.920
like blind to the faith and like
Tenemos, who's like this high ranking official

444
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:53.760
in the church is like, well, hey, maybe you shouldn't blindly follow

445
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.519
the gods like that, and so
like, and he has like a very

446
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.920
like joking like anner and I don't
know, he's just really tight. I

447
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:06.480
was not expecting to like him as
much as I did. That's very cool.

448
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.920
Like I love it when when as
a character like oh, I'm not

449
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:13.440
gonna like this guy and then they
just like pleasantly surprised you like that definite,

450
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:19.960
really fun feeling. And I really
appreciate Like the Merchant was another one,

451
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.000
Like I didn't think I was gonna
like Partitio, especially since like in

452
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:27.440
the English voice acting, they gave
him like a really heavy country accent.

453
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:30.239
Yeah, and I was like,
oh man, I am not digging,

454
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:31.920
And like after I watched this chapter
one, I'm like, all right,

455
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:36.519
I really like this guy. And
like that's how I felt for like all

456
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:38.880
of these travelers, Like I really
like all of these guys. I feel

457
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:42.119
like in the first game, there
were a couple that, like I didn't

458
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:45.639
really care for, Like I thought
there Round was whatever. Um. I

459
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:50.400
thought Alfin was like he like he's
a good boy, but he was kind

460
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:55.519
of whatever. But like they they
didn't feel that lasting to me. And

461
00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.119
like all these travelers like really stick
out, and I really like their stories

462
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.880
so far. So I'm really I'm
really excited to like dig In more,

463
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.039
especially since, like because now I'm
at the point where, like I start

464
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:12.400
to see more of the upgrades that
they did from the first one. I

465
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:17.639
haven't encountered it yet, but like
they have new ways of like interacting the

466
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:23.599
eight travelers together. So like the
format is still very similar to the first

467
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:27.800
one, where like you go through
everybody's chapter one, you go through everybody's

468
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.920
chapter two. What I do like
is I've noticed looking at these chapter twos,

469
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:37.400
is they're like branching pass so you
don't necessarily necessarily have to do like

470
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.880
the same chapter two in a row. I don't think the first game had

471
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.400
that one, and if it did, it wasn't a lot of it,

472
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:49.880
Like they just had set chapter two's. Yeah, I'm pretty well, I

473
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.719
was. I was doing some reading
because I was curious on like because in

474
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.320
the first game, you could easily
miss like the interactivity between the parties,

475
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.159
so I want to make sure I
didn't miss that this time around when I

476
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.880
was looking into it. So there
are like more like tavern talks and you

477
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.320
know, between the party and whatnot. When chapters are like actually happening,

478
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:12.440
you go into the tavern and like
the party members will talk about it.

479
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:16.159
But then I read which is really
cool is that there are just separate joint

480
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:27.000
chapters. Someone was telling me about
that. I heard that somewhere, Yeah,

481
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.639
something that I was very excited abo, right, because that's like the

482
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:36.199
main issue of like Oxopathic one,
Right, Yeah, you want character interactions.

483
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:38.840
Yeah, so I haven't unlocked that
yet because I hear like, you

484
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:44.119
really don't start seeing these things until
you finished everybody's chapter ones. You start

485
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:45.559
going through the chapter twos, and
I'm like, oh, okay, well

486
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:52.480
that makes sense because going through the
chapter one it feels very very similar to

487
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.239
the first game, almost to the
point where you're like, oh no,

488
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.000
um, because as much as I
love the first game, it definitely has

489
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:06.559
some flaws, one of them being
like the eight Travelers feeling like complete strangers

490
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.480
and never really interacting with each other. So I'm really excited to see like

491
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:17.000
how that plans out more. The
second thing is you encounter secondary jobs a

492
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:24.480
lot sooner if memory serves, the
only secondary jobs that weren't So when I

493
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.159
finally got all eight jobs, I
was thinking, like, because I think

494
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:30.440
in the original game, the way
it works is like you have your main

495
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:34.480
job and you can pick any of
the other seven jobs as like a sub

496
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:39.639
job. Right, yes, Okay, so you can't do that at least

497
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:44.760
right now you can. I think
you'll be able to. But in the

498
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:49.320
first game, you didn't get like
actual like additional jobs outside of the main

499
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:53.039
eight until like the very end of
the game, right right, right,

500
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:57.760
Yeah, So this one, I
just happen to find one, just like

501
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:02.519
traveling over the overworld, which I
thought was really And it's like the inventor

502
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:07.280
subjob, and it can only be
equipped as a subjob. There is one

503
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.480
aspect of this you're not gonna like
rob because I also don't like it,

504
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:20.840
but I'll get there and the subjob. Basically, the way this subjob works

505
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:25.760
is like you can equip it,
and the way you unlock skills in the

506
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.239
normal jobs is you would do battles, you would get JP and then like

507
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:37.639
that would unlock more job skills,
right for like your primary job. What

508
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:43.119
they did with this secondary job is
it's actually a side quest and you're tied

509
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:47.239
to the guy called Alvin the invention, right, and he gives you the

510
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:51.559
job and like under the pretense of
like hey show the world my inventions blah

511
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.960
blah blah blah blah. And the
way you unlock job skills is like you

512
00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:00.800
bring him materials and he invents new
things and then you can use those skills

513
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:08.960
in their job. Yeah, yeah, I don't That's not what I was

514
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:13.679
going to say. You weren't gonna
like I actually like that. I think

515
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:20.400
that's cool. Go on personal um. And so, because first off,

516
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.400
that class is just broken. So
the first the first thing that that class

517
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.719
does, this has this thing called
the Changeable Catapult. And what this does

518
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.920
is it just lets you do a
launching attack of any weapon type at all

519
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:35.119
enemies in a in a battle,
and it does like a ship ton of

520
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:38.760
damage for free, mind you yeah
yeah, And like the trade off is

521
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:43.039
is after you use it once,
you have to spend a turn rebuilding it.

522
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:47.000
Oh, that's whatever, but that's
also not what I what you're not

523
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:52.920
gonna like? Okay, um no, the eventure class is really cool,

524
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:58.320
like as what you're not gonna like. And what I also don't like is

525
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:05.320
that the sub job gives you an
outfit and takes precedence over your main job's

526
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:12.079
outfit and you cannot change it.
Oh yeah, I don't like that.

527
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:22.159
Well, well, what's the outfit? Looks like a dandy like top hat

528
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.559
and all like. I'm sure they're
a cool outfit. So that's the first

529
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.599
job I got. But like,
I think it's still I can't just wear

530
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:32.800
the outfit. I want important question. Uh yes, does everybody have a

531
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:39.719
different outfit when you do an inventor? I don't know. I'll have to

532
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:45.000
find that out. I think that
that that would be the key or whether

533
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.920
or not I like it. I
mean I could find that out right now

534
00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:58.559
one second. Yeah, if everybody
has like a unique look and they're all

535
00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:00.960
there their own version of the being
dandy, I think that's kind of goal.

536
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:09.119
I'm okay with that because I mean
I like everybody's default outfits. Personally,

537
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.599
I wish like I really like all
the character designs and like all these

538
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:23.880
characters look, and I really like
these characters a lot. Actually, all

539
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:29.440
right, so let's see, I
currently have equipped on Hikari, so let's

540
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:38.000
put it on. Then it's it's
a similar looking outfit. I see.

541
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:44.960
Well, yes, it's virtually the
same outfit like for the males and the

542
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.679
females. That's a day, all
right, all right, I don't,

543
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:52.760
I don't, I don't really care
for it. All right. Well,

544
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.679
there's your rib seal of disapproval,
the rib seal of very rare, very

545
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:01.239
rare stamp that I put on anything. I mean, it's it's not the

546
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:05.639
first game that doesn't it won't be
the last. I wish it. I

547
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.800
wish you just had the option to
just wear the outfit that you wanted to

548
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:16.760
wear. Um, that's just how
I am, I guess, because sometimes

549
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:22.360
class costumes look really dumb. Having
having the option is never a bad thing.

550
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:27.079
It's where land right, Like I
am always for giving all the options

551
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:30.679
when it comes to cosmetics. Never
never make it a permanent thing. Um,

552
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:34.639
if you have a game that has
cosmetics, right, you should always

553
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:37.599
be able to at the very least
go back to like the default. Look.

554
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:46.280
Yeah, but I will say,
like getting the secondary classes early is

555
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:50.719
really cool. I really appreciate that
because it gives you more time to like

556
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:53.000
experiment and sort of because like reading
some of the Inventor skills, I'm like,

557
00:43:53.039 --> 00:44:02.159
oh, that's really broken with this
insane from your descript Yeah, I

558
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:07.599
think if I had one complaint about
Octopa two is so far a feels very

559
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:14.440
easy. I wish they would find
a way to increase the difficulty of that

560
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:16.440
game a bit. I don't know
how they would do it in a in

561
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:22.320
a fun meaningful way, but I
don't know. I want them to.

562
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:27.199
I think forcing you I think one
thing is forcing you to have your protagonist

563
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:32.000
always and then he's always leveling up
while you're swapping out other party members,

564
00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:37.000
so you just have like this one
like really high level unit in your party

565
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:44.199
does factor into that a bit.
So I don't know. That's just where

566
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:47.400
I'm at on that, Like I
want to see them like find a way

567
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:53.199
to implement difficulty a bit more.
I think that when it comes to turn

568
00:44:53.239 --> 00:45:00.480
based RPGs, like I think really
where companies need to focus in on in

569
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:06.639
terms of difficulty as to come from
like the idea of making like buffing and

570
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:10.400
deep buffing and statis effects mean something, right, I agree, Like I

571
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:14.559
think Atlas basically cracked the code and
a lot of that stuff with like the

572
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:17.440
S and T and Persona games,
in those lineage of games where it's like,

573
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.119
UM taken advantage of like turn order
right at closing a weakness gives me

574
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.400
an additional turn, while that also
works for the opponent, So that means

575
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.079
I have to make sure coverage is
tight, right, um. But that's

576
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:31.920
one of a few games where like
you have to think about your own weaknesses

577
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:38.679
and the enemy weaknesses and everything,
UM, and ye should be able to

578
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:43.119
break me as well. Yeah,
absolutely, Like you should also have like

579
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:49.480
a break gauge UM in some other
things like that, UM would definitely make

580
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:59.000
things a bit more challenging. You
know, I am with you that I

581
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:06.280
am enjoying my time with the game. Mhmm nah. And that's really all

582
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:12.320
I've been playing, all right,
dope. UM. I see Ryan posted

583
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:19.079
up in here this this this announcement
from Side Games Grandbed Fantasy Versus is online

584
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:21.719
beta schedule. Seems like they're pushing
that back. I was supposed to be

585
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:27.599
AMA, but they're having some issues. Ah, that is unfortunate. But

586
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:36.000
also take all the time they need. Yeah, no, um, what

587
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:43.960
have I been doing? Uh not
like a ton of stuff because I don't

588
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:51.719
know how to manage time. Um. I did start Advanced Towards reboot Camp

589
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:57.639
one plus two. Um, I
am only like an hour in on that

590
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:01.840
game. But it's I I really
like how that game looks and how it

591
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:06.760
plays it Like it's it's just making
me want more tactics games, like I'm

592
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:10.760
in that headspace now. Um in
Advanced Wards, it's like a very particular

593
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:16.480
type of puzzle um, sort of
puzzle tactics game in a way like it's

594
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:20.159
not it's not it's it's its own
thing. It's not fire, you know

595
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:23.800
what I mean? Um, And
I don't know it's hitting at a time

596
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:28.000
that I want something like this.
So it's it's something I'm going to continue

597
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.519
with. Uh. There's not much
more to really say on it right now,

598
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:35.519
but like as far as like the
package, the visual upgrades and in

599
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:43.599
all the voiceovers and everything, it
looks fantastic. Um, so that that's

600
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:45.920
going to be something that's in my
rotation. Uh. Put a little bit

601
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:49.840
more time with the RISA, not
a whole lot, but like I do

602
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:53.880
have some more party members in in
my in my group, none of the

603
00:47:53.960 --> 00:48:00.199
new characters yet, but I have
reunited with I believe, all of the

604
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:06.599
old casts, which is great seeing
all of my children again. I think

605
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:09.760
I still have that similar complaints the
last time, where like I wish they

606
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:14.760
would went a little further on the
redesigns. They kind of look a little

607
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:19.239
too much like their Rise of Two
selves. But the little details that they

608
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.719
did change I do appreciate. And
you can tell that every character that gets

609
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:27.480
reintroduced has grown up a little bit
more, and that's always a cool thing.

610
00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:31.440
The story is starting to pick up
a little bit. It definitely like

611
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:35.920
gets going, or at least the
mystery gets going a lot quicker than the

612
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:43.519
previous two games. But I feel
like at the end of the day,

613
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:50.920
I hope this is I hope I'm
wrong, But again, like the first

614
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:55.679
two games, the overall like major
story that they want you to care about

615
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:00.199
is something that I find the least
interesting about those games. Um So I

616
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:05.920
hope that the plot here is good, but it's probably whatever, it's going

617
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:09.000
to take a backseat to me,
just like following along the individual character stories,

618
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:15.440
which is where I think this this
particular series shines um, but well

619
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:17.239
we'll get into that when when I
get further into it, right, Like

620
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:23.079
it's I'm still like three ish maybe
four ish hours into the game, but

621
00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:30.719
still having a good time with it. Um. I have been had a

622
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:36.519
little bit more time to the Megama
Battle Network one. Um also a game

623
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:40.639
that's pretty cool. My only complaint
about the first Battle Network game is just

624
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:47.880
like not being like the random account
of rate is just like really high,

625
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.639
right, um in a lot of
like the designs in terms of like the

626
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:59.000
dungeons and stuff that you're kind of
running through is not particularly well done.

627
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:01.639
So it's it's really like steps at
battles, steps at battle and you can't

628
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:07.320
run from battles or anything like that. So it feels like it drags a

629
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:12.320
little longer than it should. Right, But the gameplay is still fun,

630
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.039
don't get me wrong, But I'm
like, dang, this is kind of

631
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:22.280
a slog in some ways, especially
consider like modern RPGs and like the the

632
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:27.679
options to like negate battles if you
want to in a lot of modern games

633
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.199
now and stuff like that, or
monsters are on the screen so you can

634
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:34.159
just avoid them, like like the
there's just random accounters not being a thing

635
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.679
anymore. This game kind of reminds
me why I don't like random encounters to

636
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:49.320
begin with. But still a cool
game. Anything else I've been doing,

637
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:52.599
Yeah, I feel like I've just
been like bouncing around, like sampling little

638
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:54.800
things here or there. When I
have a little bit of time, like

639
00:50:54.840 --> 00:51:00.519
I jump back into Rogue Legacy too
for a little while, because it's like,

640
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:04.000
since I don't have these large blocks
of time to dedicate to things,

641
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.519
I'm like, let me get let
me just pick something up that I could

642
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:09.119
just like a quick run of,
right in the same ways that like you

643
00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:13.000
could play through like a Haydies like
do like a quick run, and then

644
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.639
I'm good. Rogue Legacy for anybody
that doesn't know, because I don't really

645
00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:19.320
talk about it much, but it
is a game that I've been playing for

646
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:21.559
the better part of like maybe a
year now. I think it came out

647
00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:28.480
last year, um, middle of
last year. It's basically a a Metroidvania

648
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:36.519
roguelike game, UM where at the
beginning of your run, you are given

649
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:43.159
the choice of three different characters um
and they could be like widely different character

650
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.519
class. It's like there's a chef
class where like your primary weapon is is

651
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:50.920
a frying pan, but it's tight
because the frying pan actually reflects projectiles if

652
00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:54.440
you time it right. It's really
fun. You have like an age that

653
00:51:54.519 --> 00:52:00.519
does magic, you have archer,
you have a gunner. There's a pirate

654
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:04.079
class that I haven't unlocked yet.
There's a bunch of different classes in the

655
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:07.800
game that that just have wildly different
abilities in attacks and stuff. UM.

656
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:12.159
So you pick a character. UM. You start off in like a little

657
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.599
hub world where like you can spend
your goal that you get in your runs

658
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:19.800
for like more permanent upgrades. UM. You can you can spend them on

659
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:24.440
this giant skill tree to unlock like
either the different jobs or health and crease,

660
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:30.639
attack and create stuff like that.
UM. You can purchase accessories and

661
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:35.320
armor and in better weapons things like
that. And once you get into the

662
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:40.239
game, UM, you basically have
an objective of like I have to find

663
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:46.880
these I think it's five bosses um
that are in different parts of the world,

664
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:51.039
and once you kill all five,
it opens up this door at the

665
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:52.239
very beginning of the game, and
you go in there and I play the

666
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:57.079
final bosses in there. UM.
So it's basically you just like inching your

667
00:52:57.079 --> 00:53:02.400
way through this randomly generated dungeon trying
to get to each boss, and every

668
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.599
boss has like their own area,
right, and each area gives you like

669
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:10.840
a new like cool like a permanent
tool, so like the one that I

670
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:16.360
just got was like the double jump
ability, and then I can use that

671
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:21.599
to progress in like a different area, right. So it does a really

672
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.679
good job of kind of like funneling
you where you kind of need to go

673
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:29.400
while still randomly generating itself. Like
you can't go to area three until you

674
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:34.800
clear area two because you need the
the particular upgrade in that area to progress,

675
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:40.679
right, But the individual rooms within
each area are randomly generated, So

676
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:45.719
it's very cool. As you kill
enemies and as you like break the pots

677
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.039
in different things in the background,
you get gold, and then that kind

678
00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:52.920
of like cycles back into a new
run where it gives you three new characters

679
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:57.599
and you go through the loop again. It's a fun game. It's a

680
00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:02.159
really fun game. Like the control
is tight um controls are type in all

681
00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:07.280
the different abilities and crazy stuff that
they have in there, it's just fun

682
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:10.800
to play around with. They have
some abilities that are just nonsense, like

683
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:15.119
you'll you'll roll a character and that
you'll have an ability called clown and you're

684
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:19.199
like, well, what does clown
do? And then they load your character

685
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:21.679
and it's just you in a clown
mask and it's like, well, what

686
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:25.599
is this for. It's like nothing, like you motherfuckers, Like you guys

687
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:29.639
couldn't give me like gold plus twenty
percent or something, and it's like no,

688
00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:32.199
this is just cosmetic And I'm like
all right, fine, um.

689
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:37.599
Almost sounds like an ability that's in
the holocure m. Yeah, a thing

690
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:42.519
where like you collect a rainbow and
it's like this does nothing. It just

691
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.599
changes tellers and then yeah, and
then you try to level it up and

692
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:50.239
it's like, seriously, this thing
does nothing. Why are you trying to

693
00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:52.840
level us up? And then and
then you max it out and it's just

694
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:58.559
like, Okay, you're ridiculous,
nothing's happening. Stop, don't do it.

695
00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:02.599
In a second. Yeah, that's
basically the humor behind it. Yeah.

696
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:07.320
There's one that I rolled randomly that
was just Corosoro mode Corosarvo mode,

697
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:08.480
and it's just like all right,
now everything is black and white in that

698
00:55:08.599 --> 00:55:13.639
old filmy time and I'm like,
well, this this is cool. It

699
00:55:13.719 --> 00:55:15.599
does make things a little harder to
see, but like all right. I

700
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:21.079
appreciate goofy stuff like this from time
to time. Um, so it's a

701
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:25.719
blast. Um. I'm currently like
three bosses down, so I think I've

702
00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:30.960
got two more to go. And
it is challenging. It's like it's legitimately

703
00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:32.519
challenging. There there are some areas
that I'm like, damn it, I

704
00:55:32.519 --> 00:55:37.000
gotta run through this. I hate
the enemies here. Fuck. Um.

705
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:42.679
And you don't really have too many
chances to like keel yourself in the runs.

706
00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:47.400
Like you can find like health items
here or there, but they're pretty

707
00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:52.079
few and far between. Um.
And then also scattered about is like these

708
00:55:52.199 --> 00:56:00.599
um these rooms where you can pick
between like two additional like passives for your

709
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:06.480
character, right um. And whenever
you come across like a new passive that

710
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:09.320
you can select, uh, it's
all question marks, like it doesn't tell

711
00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:13.679
you what. It tells you the
name and it's just like do you want

712
00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:15.320
to spend the points to get in
and see what it does? And I'm

713
00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:21.800
like, m I guess I'll pick
this one. And then it's like a

714
00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:24.599
diet roll whether or not it's like
a good or a bad thing. Um.

715
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:28.960
So that's a cool games. That's
really what I've been spending some of

716
00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:35.440
my like twenty minutes here, twenty
minutes their time. Um. But that's

717
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:44.679
that's really all I've been doing.
UM. I feel like I want to

718
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:50.000
play UM. I'm really in the
mood to start out Chara Chronicles for like

719
00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:58.079
I. Like I said, I'm
kind of mentality. So I don't know

720
00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:01.840
if I can honor that request through
because the feeling is is rising, um

721
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:07.639
and it's only getting worse the more
I play Advanced Wars. UM. So

722
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:12.079
I'll hold out as long as I
can, but there's no guarantee that I

723
00:57:12.119 --> 00:57:15.119
won't start that game. I'm staring
at it right now as well, and

724
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:22.000
as much as I love the original
Valkyria Chronicles, I might be right there

725
00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:28.239
with you. Yeah. I stare
at this game constantly. I reinstall that

726
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:30.840
game like every other week, and
I'm like, I'm gonna play a VC

727
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:36.880
four and then I don't, UM, and now it's installed on the Steam

728
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:43.079
deck and I'm like, hmm,
this is a good one. Alicia Makot

729
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:49.639
is still one of the best girls. Absolutely. Yes. So really that

730
00:57:49.639 --> 00:57:52.320
that's really been been my week,
just kind of scattered about a bunch of

731
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:57.000
different things. Hopefully I'll have some
more structure next week, so I can

732
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.119
really put a dent into things,
because I feel like I'm falling behind a

733
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:04.480
lot of areas. Uh, And
I do want to put a couple of

734
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:07.239
games behind me so I can look
forward to, you know, the coming

735
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:15.599
releases. Um. But yeah,
that that's really about it. Um,

736
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:21.239
anything we want to hit before we
close this out. You know, it

737
00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:25.559
was funny we were talking about releases
earlier. Um, I totally forgot about

738
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:32.559
um what was it, Star Reel
or the new Starfall? Yeah? Star

739
00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:37.519
Fall? Yeah, that's coming out
this week too. Yep. I'm I'm

740
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:44.880
excited to check that out. Yeah, because it's it's whole versus um version

741
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:47.159
of like a turn based RPG.
Yeah right, Like like it's in the

742
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:51.119
same ban of of a Genchen right, where it's like you're rolling for characters

743
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:53.000
and stuff like that, and and
it has that whole old money behind it.

744
00:58:53.239 --> 00:58:57.480
Yeah, but instead of being an
action games turn base, its turn

745
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.400
base. Yeah. I'm like this, Mike grab me a little more than

746
00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:04.679
Yeah. I was starting to think
the same thing too, because I played

747
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:08.239
I played Han Kai and I liked
it. I played Genschin a little bit

748
00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:13.639
as well, and I liked that
and everything. But yeah, I'm looking

749
00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:17.280
at star Reel. I'm like,
huh this For whatever reason, I'm very

750
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:22.679
curious to see how the turn Base
aspect works with it. Yeah, everything

751
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:29.280
around that that game, like all
of the trailers and stuff, esthetically,

752
00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:31.280
like the tone it's going from,
Like I vibe with a lot of this.

753
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:36.880
Yeah, Um, so I'm curious. I'm curious. I haven't heard

754
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:39.440
much out of the Clothes beta that
they've been doing, so I really don't

755
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:44.880
reception. It's been kind of hush
hush on it, like under like stuff

756
00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:49.199
like he like stayed like like you
said, just no one really just talked

757
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:53.599
about it. Yeah, Usually like
some info slips out there or or there's

758
00:59:53.639 --> 01:00:00.519
like hype around it, but it's
been pretty low key. Yeah that's twenty

759
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:06.199
six I think, Yeah, twenty
six or twenty seventh. Yeah yeah,

01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:12.559
lot of stuff coming up um over
on the JSP anime side of things.

785
01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:17.440
In the episode we just recorded today, which we'll go up on Monday,

786
01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:22.039
so to be up as you guys
hear this, we talked about Your Lie

787
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:29.440
in April, UM, which is
a good good show. It's it's an

788
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:34.960
incredible show, UM. And it's
really funny where that discussion goes, UM

789
01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:38.079
because it's we talk about Your l
in April, but it really we get

790
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:45.800
to like, uh, like the
the emotions and like how a lot of

791
01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:50.039
those characters relate to us. Like
it's less about it being a spoiler cast

792
01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:53.000
about Your Lion April, but really
like how that show has touched us and

793
01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:59.440
where where it like where our feelings
lie and stuff like that. It's a

794
01:02:59.480 --> 01:03:02.960
really fast discussion honestly that that's kind
of less about the spoiler side of Your

795
01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:07.119
Light and April and more of like
a thoughtful side and how it relates to

796
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:10.599
us. That show killed me if
y I it killed them. We also

797
01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:16.639
talked about the first episode of Oceanoka
uh in in in in non also killed

798
01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:22.880
me. So it's it's a it's
a really fun episode, um. Susan

01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:24.480
