13
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.359
the blood number good and the blood
numbers master of all numbers covered in blood.

14
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.280
Jeff Backlar, it's right, my
blood numbers five. Don't forget that.

15
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.840
Wow, you got it to five. The answer is five, ladies

16
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.359
and gentlemen. Woo Hey, I
don't know anything about blood pressure. What

17
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.599
should I mean? What? What
is one? Twenty over eighty Okay,

18
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.159
yeah, and you went to be
very min was a little low, but

19
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.480
it was high for a very long
time. So getting it back to be

20
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.079
it was like one seventeen over seventy
five or something like that, that's pretty

21
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.680
good, man. Yeah, I
want both numbers to be low, right,

22
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.000
Yes, both numbers to be like
you want the second one to be

23
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.920
under eighty. You want the first
one to be under one twenty. So

24
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.719
it's like that was the that was
the goal, and it was all like

25
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.239
all that walk in and exercise and
like I haven't like been like trying to

26
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.480
like lose weight necessarily. It's been
like let's get healthy first. And now

27
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:08.680
I'm like there, I'm like,
okay, well let's do the second part

28
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.919
of this. So is there a
two like if you were like eight over

29
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.159
four, is that super good or
is there like you shouldn't go below right?

30
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.919
Stupid blood pressure it's also a bad
So there's there's a there's a window

31
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.879
that you want to I think I
think there's a window. But it's like

32
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.639
for Americans typically we have high blood
pressure. Typically Okay, doctor Chad says,

33
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.319
that is death. So okay,
okay, cool, cool, cool,

34
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.680
Thank you doctor Ryan for chiming in
making sure we are aware what death

35
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:42.800
is. How is it going?
Boys? I've better what's going on?

update on the we stopped communicating outside of

41
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.800
the podcast. Here's the thing.
We talk so much on streams and podcasts.

42
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.840
I forget whether or not where I
say things to you guys. I

43
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.599
talked to you a lot outside of
podcasts, right, yeah, Well,

44
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.000
but I haven't heard about your parents
lately. There's they're staying with me for

45
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:31.199
a little bit. They moved in, well they they Tomorrow's the day.

46
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.960
They just brought up. Like I
was away at a hockey tournament over the

47
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.280
weekend and they brought while we were
away, they brought up a lot of

48
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:46.199
stuff and like conversationally or my dad
an hour in a car both ways,

49
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.199
Okay, I was like it was
like bring you know the essentials, right,

50
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.159
like bring what you It was like
that scene in Spaceballs, bring what

51
00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:01.639
you need to survive, right,
and motherfucker brought inspired bud Light that is

52
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.199
older than my son. It'll be
fine. I first of all, I

53
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.840
don't drink bud Light news flash number
one. Yeah, for political reasons.

54
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.160
We know that. For reasons exactly. That woke. Okay, I heard

55
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.759
about that a lot lately. Yeah. Right, older than your son,

56
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:26.240
yes, Jeff, older than my
son, like many years older. It's

57
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.560
been talking about. No way,
they have bud Light that's been sitting there

58
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.759
for like ten years, and they
got to tell Stacey to bring the can

59
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.600
up. So like, okay,
you know it's a it's a logo.

60
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:46.480
I don't recognize they've changed their logo. Yeah, they've changed their logo.

61
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.360
I'm trued to recognize it, right. I feel like I could recognize one

62
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:54.000
from like nineteen ninety two. Yeah, she's she's grabbing a can. It's

63
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.959
so you know, the current logo
of bud Light. When you see this

64
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.759
logo, you're gonna be like,
what the fuck is that? You're gonna

65
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.680
think it from like the nineties or
something like. It's just so weird.

66
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.839
I I told my father, I
said, bring up stuff like bring bring

67
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:14.360
a couple weeks worth of clothing,
bring like whatever, okay, And he

68
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:20.240
brought me I think it's twelve year
old beer. Twelve, but it's your

69
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:26.360
favorite beer, twelve year old beer
that I do that. He knows I'm

70
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.399
a piece of shit with beer.
And he still brought literally the bottom of

71
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.920
the barrel, Like, no,
it's not that beer is so beneath me.

72
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:43.000
Grew up on Milwaukee's best light.
Natty Light is not going to go

73
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:48.439
above that on the tier list,
righties? Would yeah? I would be

74
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.399
lying if I Yes, I'd be
lying if I said I never had a

75
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.399
bud light in the last like two
years. That's I've definitely had one.

76
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.759
Can you still order? Can you
order a forty at a bar? No?

77
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.920
No, I mean exclusively done that
definitely. Maybe like a Mickey's hand

78
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.680
grenade somewhere, but that's not a
forty, Oh Dan, I think I

79
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.079
smell a business opportunity for us,
just a bar that only serves forties.

80
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.879
Yes, just like everyone out all
the time. Your reserve and get that

81
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.439
take out of your bag. Yo, does this look familiar to anyone?

82
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.079
Like, yes, that's actually what
I was picturing. Yes, yeah,

83
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.279
that does so yeah, Yeah,
that's about it's not the current one.

84
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.480
But get the date on that.
Look, we don't all exclusively drink and

85
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.720

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.120
This is older than Giant Bomb.
It's uh je, come on, you

114
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.399

Taste what a freshly post nine eleven world

00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.200
was brewed? Like, come on, litten, this is hot off nine

116
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.480
to eleven. It would be nothing
but red, white and blue if it

117
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.200
was just post nine eleven dude,
you open open smell it, but I

118
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.320
am not drinking. You have to
open this can. I feel like something's

119
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.519
gonna come out of it and graxactly
the spirit of America when everything was okay,

120
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.600
Yeah, just open it and we'll
heal. Wait, so you said

121
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.480
post eleven, we all agreed on
something. What's O two like twenty two

122
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.919
thousand and two, two thousand and
two, So it's it literally is older

123
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.039
than the Iraq War like that.
It's like I'm saying, oh says to

124
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:50.200
do it. This pre dates shock
and Awe. I was twenty. I

125
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.240
don't want to save it for the
dump truck this week. So you have

126
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.519
time for it to chill and you
can summon a cold. It's real cold.

127
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.000
Well I put it like a salt
lick. Come on, all right,

128
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.840
I'm gonna I'm gonna just like I'm
gonna smell it. I'm gonna smell

129
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.559
stand back. That's more air than
I thought would get out of that.

130
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.120
All right? I bet you like, what if this is going for thousands

131
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.000
of dollars under the bay. Yeah, it smells like beer? How is

132
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.080
that possible? Probably? Fine,
It's like, take it's the whole thing.

133
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.360
Beer is like you know, the
alcohol means it won't go that bad.

134
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.759
Yeah, yeah, oh, these
that she'll get a glass, just

135
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.960
we should get a glass, so
we should like just see what it looks

136
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.080
like. Right, it's gonna look
like a beer and taste like a beer,

137
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.679
I guarantee you. But it's it's
twenty two years old. Dan,

138
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.720
I don't understand you gonna be okay, I've been in a can and it's

139
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.799
sealed. But what is it?
But like, are we all okay with

140
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.799
this? Is this? What?
What do you think is going with this?

141
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.840
I don't know. Maybe maybe this
is gonna be totally fine, and

142
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.679
like this is just maybe this is
just bad. Like, well, we

143
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.879
can't cut this out of the podcast. That's impossible. We're already okay,

144
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.360
okay, I have a glass coming, it's right here. Okay, wow,

145
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.200
excellent, all right, we're gonna
pour it in here. Thanks.

146
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.159
Oh, got to just make Dylan
drink it if you're scared. Yeah,

147
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.960
that's a good point. Yeah.
Here, you want to smell it,

148
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.519
Stacey smelling beer? Yeah right,
it just smells like normal beer. Probably

149
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:26.200
it's probably funny almost certainly fine.
We're gonna be so upset if something happens

150
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.519
to this guy. It's carbon nothing's
gonna happen. Yeah, you're fine.

151
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.080
He's gonna complain about it being trash
beer and that's it. Yeah, same

152
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.080
as if it was bottled yesterday.
Watch they did get the date wrong and

153
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.159
this is from twenty twenty four.
Yeah, all right, I'm taking a

154
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.639
little sip. Should Are you okay
with this? Because I want you to

155
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.960
You've got saying people around you Beckler. Yeah, what kind of glasses it's

156
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.120
called? It's a fancy glass.
All right. It's definitely gone bad,

157
00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:01.559
like for sure. Really yeah it
was. It tasted like uh if it

158
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.679
was just very like not funky,
just sort of like okay, turned right,

159
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.399
Okay, you could take that.
I don't we can pour that out.

160
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.679
It's fine, right, Yeah,
I don't know. Does their dates

161
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.960
and it does? It does look
like that's the year number for it does,

162
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.159
right, like, yeah, you
know, and this is I just

163
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.480
don't understand. When I told him
how old it was, he like,

164
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.159
he's like, you're lying. What
am I lying? It's printed on the

165
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:43.080
bottom line. Well, okay,
fucking psycho Like he said you were lying?

166
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.320
But did he He didn't like to
say, well, no, I

167
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.720
remember buying this a couple of weeks
ago that if that remembers what he did

168
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.799
Monday, Okay, well that's not
helpful, But okay, so is Sweet

169
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.960
Lou regularly drinking other beer that he
just has in reserve? No? No,

170
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.200
no, no, I think he's
a smearnoff ice guy. No,

171
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:07.279
he's like, uh, what he's
He doesn't really drink beer, obviously.

172
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.000
I think he just as this is
a party beer, like when you're having

173
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.120
people over, right, that you
just buy a bunch of beer. There's

174
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.600
a bunch of expired Corona as well
he brought, and I think he just

175
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.360
had it in his mind that like, well, you know, all this

176
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.519
beer has been in my fridge all
these years, I might as well bring

177
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.679
it up to Jeff's house because you
know, it's like he likes to drink

178
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.639
beer, and why not just have
extra beer around the house, regardless of

179
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.879
whether or not it's you know,
almost a quarter of a century old.

180
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.600
Yeah, I's an older generation thing
that I found with my grandparents and now

181
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.279
I'm finding with my dad and where
it's like, man, I don't know

182
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.919
what it is about the inability to
throw things out, like hey, these

183
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.919
fucking this thing in the fridge could
be anything. You know, it expired

184
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.559
literally eight years ago. It's still
good. It's fine. Yeah, gret

185
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.679
during the depression. So I mean
that's a big factory. Yeah, I

186
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.879
know he did in the depression.
Whenever I see something that's like even a

187
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.799
little bit out of date, and
I'm like, I know, I'm not

188
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.519
going to like throw it in the
trash is the best and clear clearing out

189
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.679
space in the fridge so you have
more space. I love doing that,

190
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.720
my guys. He had an industrial
sized dumpster in his driveway for a week

191
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.440
where he could have gotten away with
throwing out anything, and this is the

192
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.879
stuff he chose to not throw out. To drive an hour away and throw

193
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.320
it out up there, that's what
he wanted to do. That's a dumpster.

194
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.679
He wanted to recycle the cans properly, right, sure, thinking sure.

195
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.960
He did bring up a bottle of
dom though, So that's pretty cool.

196
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.440
Nice sick sick. Hey, it
tastes bad in my mouth right now.

197
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.519
By the way, guys, it's
like chalk. It's a little chalky,

198
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.159
if I'm being honest. Can I
get some important advice from you folks

199
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.480
on this call and the folks in
the chat This is something that has been

200
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.399
plaguing me for six months as I've
been living here. Okay, cool me

201
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.840
too, afterwards, I need it. I need unsolicited solicit advice. Okay.

202
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.759
I like to collect old games and
old game stuff, right, and

203
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.679
I've got them. You know,
grub, you've been here, you know

204
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.480
I've got them here. Nice.
Yeah, it looks nice, but I

205
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.159
want to keep it nice. And
so I've got windows that go into like

206
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.679
a three seasons room and then there's
another layer of windows. But sunlight can

207
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.679
come in, especially during the winter
when the leaves on the trees are gone.

208
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:20.759
The sun comes in in the morning
and things like that I am terrified

209
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.120
of because when I lived in San
Francisco, I had a bay window and

210
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.480
I had all my game informers there
and like all the spines just got nuked

211
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.440
finally quickly from sun damage. And
so I've been trying to figure out I

212
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.919
bought these gimmicks on Amazon. They're
like the UV film that you put over,

213
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.279
and I figured there's there's like two
layers at least of windows filter out

214
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.320
some of the UV like themselves.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

215
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.519
So I was testing stuff where it's
like I've got the glasses that the transition

216
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.840
lenses and stuff, and like I
put my glasses there and they still turned

217
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.960
even after two layers of glass.
And then you did science. You did

218
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.440
science. Well, yeah, And
I have a black light flashlight with like

219
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.919
good test. I like that.
I did the glow in the dark flashlight

220
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.240
that came with the analog pocket,
the glow in the dark one, and

221
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.120
I put a dollar bill, like
on a hundred dollar bill on the other

222
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.200
side and the black light on the
other side of the and I still saw

223
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.240
the strip. So I'm like,
shit, I think UV is coming through.

224
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:17.360
And so I just I'm trying to
figure out how to protect my games

225
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.200
and stuff. And I just got
a quote it's seven hundred and twenty bucks

226
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:23.879
to get five windows UV protected.
Is that Do I need that? Or

227
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.200
is it like you there's two layers
of windows before any can even hit the

228
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:33.720
games? You know. I'm a
I'm a believer that, like any prolonged

229
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.080
exposure to sunlight is eventually going to
deteriorate the thing. Like I just I

230
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.360
just think you need to either move
them, like that's not an option?

231
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.240
How is that not an option?
A whole room, it's it's not.

232
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.480
It's there's a lot of windows coming
in. Like what about curtains. Well,

233
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.360
so I bought some some shitty like
you know, just once an Amazon

234
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.759
where you just cut them and they
just kind of fold down. But I

235
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.840
would love to have just the thing
because now that it's it's getting nights outside,

236
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.440
like to have those open and not
have use So is it so?

237
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.200
So I have a similar situation in
you know, you've been in the pinballroom,

238
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.359
right. I have a bunch of
hot toys there, and I don't

239
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.720
want the hot toys being exposed to
sunlight because it'll change the color of like

240
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.440
the you know, the clothing on
the things and everything. So I have

241
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.680
them in a spot where like they
get no sunlight, like and the sun

242
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.240
moves across, so it's like sort
of you know, it's it's like positioned

243
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.640
in the right spot so that over
the course of the day the sunlight just

244
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.079
doesn't terfear with that. And you
can also get like blinds that'll like go

245
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.839
up and down like, but that's
the thing. I feel like curtains or

246
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.599
blinds like actually installed ones would cost
just as much as just getting this like

247
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.160
you and I would rather just have
the UV protection and not have these big

248
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.720
curtains or blinds. You know,
yeah, I hear you. I just

249
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.640
seven hundred dollars sounds pretty reasonable to
me, those five giant windows, Yes,

250
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.160
that's all. Yeah. Here's the
thing too, though, right,

251
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.240
don't you do what you want with
your money. The only thing that I

252
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.680
would like caution against, right is
like you just don't know. You won't

253
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.480
know till it's too late, right, like with the UNA. Oh yeah,

254
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:04.519
if you noticed it right, fucked
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

255
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:11.079
Like, so if you go with
the UV coding and it's still being exposed

256
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.119
all the sunlight and for whatever reason
they just aren't as effective as you wanted

257
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.960
them to be or whatever it is, you aren't going to find out till

258
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.799
it's too late. The only way
to be one hundred percent sure is to

259
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.440
like get the blind get the curtains
right, or just like move them.

260
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.880
I haven't been in that room.
I also feel like I've not been in

261
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.519
a lot of your rooms, Dan, but I've also figured out solutions to

262
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.920
problems in some of your rooms.
Dan, that's true. So maybe if

263
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.480
you want to, you know,
FaceTime and we'll figure it out together.

264
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.039
I'm happy to do that, but
definitely get moved. But like all the

265
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.000
like really good ones are in,
Like I buy those like UV protected boxes

266
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.759
and the acrylics and stuff on eBay, So like there's like numerous layers of

267
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.119
shit before it gets to the game. So I'm wondering if it's overkill to

268
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:53.160
actually get this done or if I
because yeah, like I would just it

269
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.440
would kill me if this actually Like, God, Dan, you're protecting a

270
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.039
collection. I don't. I see
it as an investment. But backs,

271
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:06.799
right, Like, who's to say
it does work? The UV film stuff,

272
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.839
Yeah, like three this is like
a block ninety nine percent of whatever,

273
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:15.039
you know, So yeah, and
a curtain blocks. We're positive it's

274
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.680
just the UV that's doing that does
damage, right, There's a whole bunch

275
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.200
of other waves of light that would
still get in. Yeah, that's what

276
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.359
I'm saying. That's what I do. I don't know, huh. I

277
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.920
mean, just like the most effective
like that, I think that's the thing

278
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.640
that has the biggest impact. Yes, but I don't think it's just UV

279
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:36.319
light that I think you can still
see some damage. Otherwise, maybe I'll

280
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.160
get a quote on some of my
curtains just basic blackout curtains. If there's

281
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.920
a sun doctor in the house,
please reach out to the BombCast. Yeeah,

282
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:47.359
hold everyone, Sun's fucking terrible.
Three M should be legit. Yeah,

283
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:48.559
there's like yeah, oh yeah,
three M stuff is kind of what

284
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.240
I'm looking at here. That's what
the quote's for. Okay, Yeah,

285
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:53.880
I mean if you I mean,
if you get them, like if you

286
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.440
get the UV protection and maybe get
a little bit of a tent so like

287
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.839
really like the you know, dampens
the effect of the sun overall, maybe

288
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.279
that would probably do the trick.
I mean, I don't know. I

289
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.519
don't want to give you any guarantees, so I'm not sure. Okay,

290
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.000
Okay, I'll keep looking, but
yeah, I do want to get some

291
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.799
sort of permanent deal going on.
Okay, Okay, Now I need advice

292
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.279
from you three and the community here. All right. I am a fucking

293
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:23.359
mess in my life and this is
we know this. I'm a dirt person.

294
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:30.079
My real shoot person is just a
shitty person. So I thought,

295
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:36.000
what if I get my life together
and just schedule stuff out and actually have

296
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.200
hold myself accountable things. And this
worked perfectly, timing incredibly well, because

297
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.519
I believe it was last Friday Grub
that Lucy was on game mess she talked

298
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.519
about time blocking. Yeah, she
was talking about time blocking. And I

299
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.240
was like all right, okay,
okay. And then this past Monday rolls

300
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.240
around Backlar tells me it's like,
jan, you gotta get on Asaana,

301
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.680
make make us Asauana. And I'm
like, you know what, all right,

302
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.759
I will make us asauna. And
then I I thought, what if

303
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.559
I do that to my own life? What if I regimend and schedule my

304
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.319
own life and hold myself accountable.
So I've downloaded Notion and if anyone has

305
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:12.400
any like uh out there, has
any templates that you like or tips for

306
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:19.240
Notion is basically like hasana dan.
So it's like a it's like a notepad,

307
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.279
but with every like every feature you
could want to make things easier to

308
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.880
do, Like people keep track of
their like game collections on Notion using handy

309
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.440
templates and stuff like that, and
so so like reminders and to do list

310
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.160
because like I live and die,
but I can't function with it. But

311
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.160
I've got like a million I've got
the work calendar on Google, I've got

312
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.279
my iCloud whatever thing for other stuff. You know, you can put them

313
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.119
all in one place. Yes,
well, so that you can use your

314
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:48.880
like Gmail account or a Gmail account
to just merge everything together. And I

315
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.119
before was keeping my work calendar my
life calendar separately. Now I've just merged

316
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.759
everything because it doesn't fucking matter.
So you only have one life, right,

317
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.400
I only have one life to live, bless up. So I thought,

318
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.720
because the neat thing Dan is you
can have those table tables and everything

319
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:11.920
where you're tracking stuff, but also
creating subpages to link to other documents.

320
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.720
So like right now, I have
like a general work document with like miscellaneous

321
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.319
notes and a to do list of
stuff to take care of for this week.

322
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.319
But I also have like for the
games I'm playing, like little sub

323
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.680
pages of like notes for those specific
games. And then on my phone you

324
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.559
have an iPhone also, so I've
made a widget to link specifically to that

325
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.759
game that I'm playing right now.
So I'm playing Unicorner Overlord in Rise of

326
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.079
Ronin. So with those widgets,
I'll just tap on that when I have

327
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.359
an idea or something like sticks out
to me and dump it there. Yeah.

328
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.480
Okay, and just is integrate with
like Google docs and stuff like that,

329
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.480
I think you can. Yeah,
I think so okay, notion is

330
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.559
like very The only thing I'd say
with notion, I use it for a

331
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:57.000
lot of like of my bullshit,
my like hobby bullshit. But the only

332
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.200
thing I'll say is, like,
you have to invest in the time to

333
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:07.880
understand the language of it. It's
essentially a it's essentially like a big database.

334
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.559
It's that gives you a lot of
databasing uh power, you know what

335
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.240
I mean, Like, uh,
you can kind of like make it your

336
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:21.039
own sort of functional searchable Wikipedia database, if that makes sense. And I

337
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.960
think it's Jean Luke has like a
really good template for a game track.

338
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:33.319
Yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah is everything I'm hearings hanging on

339
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.200
the wall to get this woodpecker out
of here. And it's right, it

340
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.519
sounds like that. Oh yeah,
they're just not so they're going to break

341
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:44.160
through anytime. No, they're not
neighbors. There are They're they're straight up

342
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.240
holes in the neighbor's house. It
is, but not through the everything you

343
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.079
give give them time. They are
persistent. I put up the funky balloons.

344
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:55.359
I put up bake owls and eyeballs
and ship thenky balloons. What yeah,

345
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:56.920
Mary told me about these funky balloons
that look like eyeballs you can hang.

346
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.359
So I got all these balloons hanging
outside of my favorite part. Mary

347
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.920
told me about these funky balloons.
Okay, I need to see what these

348
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.000
funky balloons look like. Look at
Woodpecker balloons. You'll see them. They

349
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:12.079
got eyeballs. It's awesome. Speaking
about funky balloons, let's talk about games.

350
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.920
Season Pickers of Foam Stars has arrived. Gents, chan, what are

351
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.559
you talking about? Man? Season
two of Foam Stars has arrived? Okay,

352
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:29.920
I'm sure did you play it?
No? I received the news update.

353
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.720
Yeah, I just thought i'd chime
in with some relevant news. I

354
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.079
got an email said Season two Foam
Stars has arrived, and I forgot that

355
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.599
game had come out. Uh oh, crub, you got that hot dog

356
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.400
controller? Got a hot dog controller? I'm like a hot dog controller,

357
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.920
hinds ketchup controller. I also got
a Craft Mac and Cheese controller that we're

358
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.319
gonna give because she loves Mac and
Cheese. It's gonna be one of her

359
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.000
Easter presents. And it's straight up
Craft Mac and Cheese and h Yeah.

360
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.359
They so okay. These are hyper
kid controllers. They look at lot like

361
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.799
super Nintendo controllers. We've got the
sticks on them. If you've ever seen

362
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:08.319
like the eight bit dough and it
looks like one of those without the handles

363
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.599
and stuff like that. But they're
pretty comfortable whole. They got a little

364
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.440
slant here on the back of the
little grippers, but they are styled.

365
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.720
This one's an Oscar Meyer Wiener controller
and the other ones straight up behind this

366
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.160
ketchup bottle controller. It's silly and
I like it. It's uh, they're

367
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.400
kind of like they're as tachy as
you're imagining if you're listening to this on

368
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.240
the audio version. And yeah,
it's like the for example, the Oscar

369
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:34.079
Meyer Weener one has a hot dog
shape and a bun shape and then there's

370
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:38.240
a like a strip of yellow mustard
across the top and it's it's a lot

371
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:42.480
of fun. Yeah. They also
like sent over a Miraculous controller, which

372
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.880
is a like French cartoon that my
kids really like as well. And I

373
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.319
don't know how they knew that,
but that other one's going to the other

374
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:53.480
kids. So we got we got
Easter presence in this house happening. Jeff

375
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.160
Greb you got a little hot dog
control, Yeah, I mean as far

376
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.519
as like using them as controllers,
They're they're functional stuff. It's not like

377
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.519
gonna be the thing I use daily, Like I still am gonna use like

378
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.240
a full on controller with the handles
and stuff like that. But as we're

379
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.200
having extra fun controllers, I actually
think these are great, Like throwing someone

380
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.400
the hot Dog controller and they're like, hey, let's play Street Street to

381
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.519
Rage four, Like what's you know
we're all over here for Thanksgiving? Yeah,

382
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.599
here, this is the controller you're
going to get now. I like

383
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.359
it. When did we get to
that point where like the extra controller that

384
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:29.160
isn't officially licensed by the company are
now like almost better and fun. They're

385
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:30.880
fun at the very least. Yeah, uh well, I mean I think

386
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:36.440
that happened this generation because I think
a lot of these hardware manufacturers have gotten

387
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.319
to a place where they are selling
enough and the profit margins are good enough

388
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:41.559
that they can put a little extra
in there for I mean, for example,

389
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.839
like API do's got the camera the
hall effects sensors, that's what they

390
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.200
are that don't drift over time,
and it's like just demonstrably better than what's

391
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.720
in Nintendo's controllers. Yeah, and
those are in like now all API dough

392
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.240
controllers, so you don't have to
worry about those things breaking down over time

393
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.960
like you have to worry about with
every other control. And it's like,

394
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.440
oh yeah, they know that there
is a savvy audience out there paying attention

395
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.039
to this stuff and they could play
to that, and so I think they're

396
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.039
like, Okay, let's make these
things a little bit better and have a

397
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:14.920
little bit of fun and still make
like joy cons. No, no,

398
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.519
but I got so much. I
use it with not nixies, but like

399
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.240
nixes like ny x I I think
is what it is. They make these

400
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.319
ones and I'm pretty happy with them, and they're like the uh, basically

401
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.359
like a full on game pad that
I just attached the side. There's a

402
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.359
lot of them out there, but
these ones have worked really well for a

403
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.160
long time. Now. I'm trying
to figure like what the most like you

404
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.519
know, second player controller or whatever
that I've ever had is. Oh,

405
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:42.640
I got they were both. I
guess it was fourth player controllers because the

406
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:47.319
first thing that came to mind were
on the GameCube, the micro con,

407
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:49.799
the man micro Con. I just
googled it and yep, this is bringing

408
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:55.960
me back. And on sixty four
it was the Interact super Pad sixty four,

409
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.799
real fucked up looking controller. Every
want to google that. Those are

410
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:04.200
the the fourth player control. I
had the Blockbuster branded in sixty four controller

411
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.839
that was like kind of like shaped
like a weird ass boomerang. It looked

412
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.960
really really fucked up, and I
always made people use that one, the

413
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.720
the mad Cats one. You're talking
about the micro con right, Oh yeah,

414
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.920
yeah, that one pissed me off
so much because it had like it

415
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:23.640
was it was skinnier than it needed
to be at the top, and then

416
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:29.640
it had like a bul bulbous sort
of like handles with ribbed grips on that.

417
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:34.720
It was just so oh bulbused and
ribbed. Yeah. Why yeah,

418
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:40.759
why didn't we understand ergonomics? We
hated ergonomics apparently, yeah, we thought

419
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:45.119
they were for oool God. I
thought this controller that I got from game

420
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.400
Stop once was so cool. It
was I don't remember the brand, but

421
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:53.279
it had fans in it and you
could control the fan speed to make you

422
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:57.039
sweat less on your palms. I
guess so uh. And then a friend

423
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.240
used it because I gave it to
him as a second place controller, and

424
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:04.359
then his hands actually swept so much
that it clogged up the fans in my

425
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:11.519
controller and broke it. Yeah.
Why yeah, Hey, never underestimate the

426
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:18.759
powers of a prepubescent boy's hands wet. They can destroy anything. Stopping wet

427
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.119
palms, Yes, stopping wet palms. I made my switch look like a

428
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.799
GameCube. Oh yeah, I saw
that looks really good nitro dick. Yeah

429
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:33.960
that's a crooked c r KD.
But yeah it's a straight up Yeah.

430
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.599
Yeah, I'm I might looking to
get in one of those. I think,

431
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:38.799
are you happy with the results are? It's like comfortable and everything.

432
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:41.599
I just got it a couple of
days ago. It's company. Yeah,

433
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.519
it's definitely a little bigger, but
it operates like a pro controller basically you

434
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.000
have to turn on like the pro
wired thing, but like it's got its

435
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.680
own rumble and everything. So I
just I think aesthetically, how stable does

436
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:53.640
that feel? Dan, Like,
when it's like connected to the switch and

437
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:56.720
everything. It's oh, it's it's
good. It's good. You have to

438
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.160
like there's like a safety thing in
the back put up to take it out.

439
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:02.440
Yeah yeah, so it lookally envelops
it like, so it's like way

440
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.039
more secure than a joy con.
I would assume oh yeah, definitely.

441
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.359
Yeah. Cool, it doesn't look
like it's going to break away. Just

442
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.799
like Jeff Grubb has been playing Pennies
Big Breakaway, I have, Yeah,

443
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.480
I've played a few more worlds in
Pennies Big Breakaway. It's like I I've

444
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.279
been looking for something else mostly to
talk about on the show, and so

445
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.720
I was like, I was hopping
in a few other things and I'm like,

446
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.240
yeah, i should go back to
Penny's Big Breakaway. And I've enjoyed

447
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:26.960
what I played before this session,
and now I keep playing. I'm like,

448
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.359
I'm starting to get the hang of
comboing together the movement skills. So

449
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:37.039
you are you do a double hit
with your yo yo to do a dash

450
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.119
forward that gets you enough speed so
that kind of no matter what terrain you're

451
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:42.200
on, you can then drop and
then start running on your yo yo,

452
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.640
so you sort of are are scooting
along on that and that continues the combo.

453
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:48.079
And then if you want, you
to do like a double jump and

454
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.599
then try to swing and then do
the dash again, get back to get

455
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:53.880
back on your yo yo right on
that for a little bit. And then

456
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.960
occasionally at the level will have something
like oh these rings you can hop in

457
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:02.039
to give you a little bit of
speed as well. And the part of

458
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:03.519
the fun is just kind of keeping
that combo going, and then the other

459
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.319
part of the fun is just figuring
out the levels and finding all the secrets.

460
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.319
And I'm finding that having those two
things bouncing back and forth between being

461
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.319
my primary goal of keeping the combo
going or finding the secrets is enough to

462
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.240
keep the game very engaging. I
continue to think that Penny's Big Breakaway looks

463
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.119
fantastic. I love the way it
looks. I think it's such a good

464
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.039
does such a good job of capturing
a memory of really, honestly a time

465
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.160
where games never quite actually looked like
this, but it's what I want always

466
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.960
imagine they could look like. So
I've just been really enjoying it. Cool.

467
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.799
It's like Saturn aesthetics with the Dreamcast
fidelity, yeah exactly. Yeah.

468
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.640
And it's the ability, yeah,
yeah, definitely. And the mobility is

469
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.400
extremely Mario Odissey to me like the
ability to change directions so much in mid

470
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.400
air and now I'm gonna throw this
thing. Now I'm going in that direction.

471
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.039
The one thing I don't like is, like I do I do feel

472
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:55.400
like I have so much like mid
air control and directional control, and I

473
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:56.880
think that all kind of goes out
the window for me when the fucking penguins

474
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.880
attack, and when I feel like
I'm kind of mashing and trying to get

475
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.559
them off me, and it's like, ah, I feel like I have

476
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.400
so much control over my motion stuff, and then it's just like I'm hitting

477
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.640
stuff trying to get rid of penguins
that I jump off a cliff or something

478
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.960
like that. Yeah, so the
penguins are about halfway through most levels,

479
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.519
you'll start like they let you get
set up usually, and then halfway through

480
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:16.640
a level will be like, all
right, and now here's like a bunch

481
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.519
of penguins breaking out of a wall, and all they do is try to

482
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:22.759
swarm you. And if about six
or seven or eight get on you,

483
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:27.119
it's like you've been captured. Game
over, your level over. You got

484
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:31.559
to start over at the checkpoint.
And it's not the most like nuanced enemy

485
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.720
design, clearly, it is just
brute force and kind of annoying. I've

486
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.839
gotten to a point where it's like
I can if I'm picking up my speed

487
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:42.079
and I see that the penguins are
coming, I'm doing it. I'm much

488
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.400
better now than I was at like
avoiding them and not even engaging with them,

489
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:46.599
so I don't have to deal with
it. But they don't know.

490
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:50.000
If a couple do get on me, I do the dash and they fly

491
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.119
right off. But it's yeah,
that's just not a good part of this

492
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.400
game. It's it's kind of silly. I hope they get away from it

493
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:58.759
later in the game, although I'm
getting the sense it's like, no,

494
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:00.359
this is just gonna be how the
me designed works in the most part,

495
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.680
and that's that's the core thing.
Yeah, yeah, it seems like a

496
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.480
core thing to the experience. But
uh, you know that said, I'm

497
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.119
like, I'm glad I'm sticking with
it because I'm I'm really enjoying what they're

498
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:15.640
going for overall, and as I
get better at the combo system, it

499
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:17.839
is becoming more like, oh man, I went through that whole section without

500
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.079
ever stopping my combo. That's that
felt really cool and you do feel accomplished

501
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.599
at the end of the level like
that, greb, was it you telling

502
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:28.400
me that there's almost like a Tony
Hawk level combo thing. You're saying,

503
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.440
Sean told me that that's what got
me back into it. So yes,

504
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.680
and then I told that, yeah, yes, definitely right. It's like

505
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.920
if you you find your line through
the level, and you know, a

506
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:39.880
couple of times you're like, you
will, you know, die on accident,

507
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.240
you'll go in the water, you
will get captured by the penguins,

508
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.200
and it's kind of like exciting.
It's like, oh, yeah, well

509
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.160
I just noticed this part where maybe
if I can go through there, I

510
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.000
can keep my combo going and and
actually carried over to that second part of

511
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:53.920
the level while having to stop.
And then you do that and it feels

512
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.400
really really cool. I've not been
able to go from like the beginning to

513
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.039
the end carrying a combo because it's
like I'm still learning most of the most

514
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:02.400
of the like the layout of the
level. But as I'm starting to put

515
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:06.319
to put these pieces together, it
does feel like the combos getting bigger and

516
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:07.840
bigger to the point where it's like, oh man, that is really cool.

517
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:13.639
Okay, wow that I just feel
like we should have more yoyos in

518
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.239
video games. Yeah, yeah,
you got your Star Tropics, you got

519
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:23.440
your h I mean that's what a
grappling hook is. Almost you try Batman

520
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.679
grappling on top of building with a
yoyo. No, I won't because I

521
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:32.239
wasn't being literal, but I think
like they're more or less a similar sort

522
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:37.079
of adjacent device, their thing on
a string. Yeah, like, and

523
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:42.480
that's what Penny's doing. When when
Pitty like grapples onto the air and swings

524
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:44.599
from it, that is that is
a grappling. Look at that point,

525
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:50.320
it just grapp commando. Yeah,
had yo is what we're saying to the

526
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.599
areas. You can just bucked up, you can like swing from anything.

527
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:57.320
It's and that that's actually one of
the coolest feeling things in the game.

528
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:59.559
It's just like, oh yeah,
I like forgot about that for a whiles.

529
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:01.000
I was doing the dash a bunch, and then I started using that

530
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:04.800
again for platform and it's like,
oh, okay, if I mix this

531
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.760
in more often, First, it
feels cool. Second, it really helped

532
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:09.519
me keep my combo going because it
slowed me down in certain part in certain

533
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:14.559
sections of the level. Speaking about
feeling cool, I'm curious as to whether

534
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.519
or not Dan, you've been feeling
cool with some brief thoughts on Unicorn Overlord.

535
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.280
Oh yeah. I started it and
I did like the first couple of

536
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.000
battles, and I was like wait, I don't have any input on this.

537
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:29.360
They're just fighting. I don't what
the hell I like to play a

538
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:30.360
video game. I don't just want
to watch stuff. And I put it

539
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:35.800
down immediately after like four minutes of
the game, fastwarding through the story,

540
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:37.800
seeing two fights and not having control
over I was like about this. I

541
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:42.559
stopped. And then I went upstairs
later that night and Bonk had been playing

542
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.119
for a while and she's like,
I love this game. This is really

543
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:46.119
cool. And I was like,
well, I thought you couldn't like really

544
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:47.519
control the battles or anything. He's
like, no, no, no,

545
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.440
there's all this strategy and stuff with
how he plays, Like she explained,

546
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.480
she knows how to talk to me. It's like this. And I was

547
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:58.440
like, oh, let me try
it again. And then I played more

548
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.000
than four minutes of the game,
and I was like, oh, okay,

549
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:01.960
there's actually some pretty cool stuff you
can do here. All right,

550
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:05.920
Okay, well I'm glad you had
that little arc there. Okay, I'm

551
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:07.559
now interested to hear more. Yeah. I've done a few of the actual

552
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.400
like not just individual battles, but
the stages. I've done a few of

553
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:14.440
the stranges now, and it's like
Oh shit, there's some like RTS stuff

554
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.039
going on here. There's something like
I'm garrisoning structures and I'm like, oh,

555
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:20.360
I could optionally go kill these guys, or I can draw this guy

556
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.760
away from the bridge and attack him, and like, I'm gonna set up

557
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:23.679
this guy to take the hits and
this guy to do the healing on the

558
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.239
back. And it's a it's got
me. So Yeah. For for whatever

559
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:31.800
problems I have with this story,
I can't deny the power and the excellence

560
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:37.159
of Vanilla Ware's character designs because like, I'm sticking with it because I like

561
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.280
the gameplay mechanics, but also I
just want to see what other like freaks

562
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:44.599
they'll throw my way. Yeah.
I don't know if you'all have seen this.

563
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:49.480
It's been circulating on Twitter, but
there's a clip of a very tall

564
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:55.719
and muscular character coming out out of
the woodwork in Unicorn Overlord, very Rhea

565
00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.719
Ripley adjacent type deal, and it's
like, I got it, I got

566
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:06.719
it, get it she can.
This is the same company that did the

567
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:08.679
one what was it like ten years
ago where there's a big controversey beds.

568
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:16.360
Yeah, the witch with the chest
and the Amazonian with the thickest thighs that

569
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:21.639
have ever been conceived by the mind
of manned. Yeah, what have I

570
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:27.960
always said? The thighs save lives. Yeah yeah, what if you're in

571
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:30.840
gold and Eye, they they ended
lives. Oh that's true. Good point.

572
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.559
Well, you know that that person
was on the wrong side, right,

573
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:37.000
the thighs take it in. The
thighs give it away. I've gotten

574
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:42.000
to a point in Unicorn Overlord where
I feel like I want to have like

575
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:46.039
a whistle and like a coach jacket
because I feel like I am because I'm

576
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:50.239
not directly playing, and I'm just
like taking care of the format and guiding

577
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.000
people where to go. I feel
like the best and worst coach in the

578
00:37:52.000 --> 00:38:00.480
world, like because I always underestimate
the units speed, Like Dan, you

579
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:06.320
can attest like the cavalry units or
the knights on horses way faster than the

580
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:10.840
dudes on on foot that I'll wind
up sending both out at the same time,

581
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.599
thinking like they can kind of do
like the leapfrog unit switch once you

582
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:17.760
get there if they're in the same
vicinity, and it never works out,

583
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:22.079
and then my horses always get smashed
by hammers. I'm the thing. I

584
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:28.480
also love about Unicorn Overlord is that
we're bringing back big hammers. I haven't

585
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:36.239
enjoyed a big hammer since perhaps Monster
Hunter World or the last Monster Hunter Rising?

586
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:39.199
Was that the one on switch?
Yes, yes, that's gotta be

587
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:45.360
what it's called. What else,
Yeah, Harley Quinn, not a big

588
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.039
enough hammer for me in Suicide Squad. That's why the game performs so poorly.

589
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.079
That's what you need multi versus.
There's just gonna have a bigger hammer

590
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:57.679
in there. Yes, jan I
could picture you in like tracksuit and whistle

591
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.239
and like I could see you being
like a really good coach of just anything.

592
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:05.079
Thank you. I could see it. And I totally accept either of

593
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.320
you yelling at me in the heat
of heat of the moment and just me

594
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:13.320
not acknowledging it at all and just
continue on with the game. Kelse stone

595
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:15.440
faced, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, just gosh on the prise,

596
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:19.360
just put a headset on me and
just like, yeah, god,

597
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.000
that sounds great that or like i'd
be the best at a drive through.

598
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:30.320
No, Dan, you've also put
on this document Astro Duel too. Yeah,

599
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:32.119
as a game I had not heard
of at all, and I had

600
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:37.400
a bunch of people over for stings
last match, and Ben Hansen was like,

601
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:39.119
Hey, I want to try out
this game. I want to get

602
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:42.159
a local group together. Can we
play a little bit after the show,

603
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.679
And yeah, absolutely, So we
had a group of like six or so

604
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.199
of us playing it and uh on
the switch and it's you can do it

605
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:50.639
with the joy cons so you don't
need like six pro controllers or whatever.

606
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:52.599
So we just kind of broke off
a bunch of joy Cons and stuff.

607
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:58.079
And it's the way he described it, and it's very accurate is Asteroids meets

608
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:01.480
Tower Paul, So like you know, it's very much that kind of like

609
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:05.639
you know, pixel based graphics and
like you're a little dude, but like

610
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:08.840
when you're inside this like gravity field
or when you're in an interior, you're

611
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:13.159
just a dude running around with legs
and arms and stuff and picking up guns

612
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.280
and rockets and grenades and stuff like
you would and like a TowerFall type thing

613
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:19.880
and then quick kills things like that. But the second you go outside of

614
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.920
that, you're in space and you
turn into a little ship and so then

615
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:29.559
you're like asteroids control going around and
you typically can't like shoot from inside to

616
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:31.719
outside or outside to inside unless you
get special items so it's like, let's

617
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:35.719
say you're a ship, you're floating
around the room or whatever, and you

618
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.480
get a laser power up, then
you can like just just straight through and

619
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:44.719
kill dudes inside of the It's just
a really cool dynamic of just going back

620
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.760
and forth between and seamlessly. You
go outside in the gravity, you're a

621
00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:50.400
ship. You go inside you're a
dude. And then there are stages that

622
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:52.679
are just like this is just a
dude stage, this is just a ship

623
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.920
stage, and it super works.
There was a lot a lot of that,

624
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.519
just like you know slow moo replays
like, Oh, I'm gonna see

625
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:01.000
how I do. That was awesome. Look at you dodged that and you

626
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:05.400
reflected that, and it's it's really
cool, like any game where a dude

627
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.960
turns into a ship. And I
also really like Toowerfall, so this sounds

628
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:10.840
very cool. Yeah, it was
a lot of fun. God, I

629
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.199
I always had the biggest fomo watching
people online play Toowerfall because none of my

630
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:20.159
normy friends wanted to come over and
actually play Toowerful. But there was a

631
00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:24.159
brief period where I was bringing an
ooh yah, oh my god, that's

632
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:29.239
that's what the uya was. It
was the tower. Yeah, and the

633
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:30.960
Crazy Frog one. Whatever the prog
was with the rag Doll physics, that

634
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:35.800
was the game. We should do
a mount rush wore of Oh that's a

635
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:39.679
great idea with two heads on it. And then we got to get four.

636
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:43.920
We gotta get mic Omali to do
like an intro for that pod and

637
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:47.679
just go, oh, you have
it. I appreciate that, Jane,

638
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:50.400
thank you, thank you. It
was very good. No, it was

639
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.440
very good. We'll give out an
agro Crag, will be all and back

640
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:58.079
to the leader boards. Yes,
yes, okay, I just want a

641
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.239
piece of the agro cat Crag.
You can that one on eBay? No,

642
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:02.840
you can't. I look several times
a year and I have for a

643
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:09.119
fucking decade plus again, I've seen
it recently Etsy remake Horseshit. Trust me,

644
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:13.320
I look, what's the real deal? You want the real deal?

645
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:16.280
Well, they also sell like one. I think that's just licensed. So

646
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:20.960
you okay, I take it back. We're after two different things. It

647
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:23.639
sounds like I like you, I
want to shoot agro Crag piece, right,

648
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:29.119
you want like you know someone who's
on that show like Preduce one thing?

649
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:32.320
Yeah, just having a real bad
middle aged second part of their life

650
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:38.519
needs to offload this agro crack tainted
with sadness. Correct, Yeah, okay,

651
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:42.400
we're after two different things. Just
like I want to be in the

652
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.039
space camp thing where like they just
make you flip around and ship right.

653
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.880
I desire that, you know what
I always wanted. I always thought it

654
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:51.079
would be the most fun job in
the world to be the dudes at the

655
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:53.199
top of the agro crag where there's
just a bunch of fucking twelve year olds

656
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:57.559
going up and you just have these
giant foam boulders and like fucking Donkey Kong,

657
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.519
you're just trying to see these twelve
year olds in the head the fucking

658
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:04.679
boulders. That seems like the funniest
fucking job ever. I did. I

659
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:08.639
did think if I could have any
job in history, the big burly American

660
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:13.519
dude onto Keshi's castle that like would
just jump out and scare the Japanese people.

661
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:17.119
I want to be that guy so
bad, so so bad. One

662
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:22.480
day. Can you imagine if you
were like of like American gladiator build and

663
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:24.519
it was your job, Like there
are so many hilarious Americans, like the

664
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:28.079
Wall. It's like you just watch
some scrub trying to climb a wall and

665
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.199
you're all right, I'm gonnaive him
ten seconds. I'm gonna go fucking tear

666
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:32.960
his ass off the wall or the
maze where you just have the giant fucking

667
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.599
like pillow things and you just come
out of nowhere. Fuck you, you

668
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:40.840
just give him the pounce. God, I'd love to just be paid to

669
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:45.519
give the pounce people. Yes,
Oh it's so good right now. Yeah,

670
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:49.679
uh oh yeah, yeah, that's
a good move suits me very well.

671
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.679
Great move. While we're still talking
about nineties game shows. I am

672
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:58.000
one hundred percent sure that I could
assemble the Silver Monkey unscathed. And I

673
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:00.679
think it's a I think it's a
nerves fact when you're trying to go that

674
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.360
past, because I think mechanically it
can't be that hard. It's got three

675
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:06.960
pieces with a fucking hole in it
and a fucking two be put down in

676
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:08.199
the ere. That can't be that
hard. But when you're a kid and

677
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:13.239
there's fucking temple guards and you're on
TV and you're you know, I could

678
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:15.519
see that being an anxious situation.
You know. I also feel like they've

679
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:20.239
admitted they've made that game impossible to
win on purpose. No, one ever

680
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:23.760
fucking won. Speaking about being under
a time crunch and a time pressure,

681
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:30.039
we or some of us have checked
out under a strict embargo rides of Ronin.

682
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.280
There's no silver Monkey. I'm as
far as where I'm at. Yeah,

683
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:38.039
there's no silver Monkey stats maybe later
in the game. I only just

684
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:42.400
started this. I'm like early on
and I'm trying. I'm getting a feel

685
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.519
for it. It is, you
know, it reminds me a lot of

686
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:47.800
other games that have come out recently. Like I think that this game was

687
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.400
in part inspired by this the success
of a Ghostsushima. I also think that

688
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:57.440
it's got I mean definitely has frum
Soft Secro stuff in there. I think

689
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:00.440
they're trying to play those aspects.
But it's the I mean, what it

690
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:05.639
feels like is what it is.
It's a Koe techmo action game, and

691
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:08.920
I mostly think that's pretty cool.
Now. I think people are dinging this

692
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:13.440
game for the way it looks,
and it does not look like cutting edge

693
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.599
graphics ever when I when I've been
playing it so far, but it like

694
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:19.360
looks good enough to me most of
the time. And I think that the

695
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:24.280
art style is mostly pretty and and
comes through in action and not so much

696
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:29.679
in instills, but yeah, in
terms of like putting my finger on the

697
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:31.599
pulse of what this game's trying to
go for, I think it's if you

698
00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:37.880
are down for a Choe techno action
game that is informed by the likes of

699
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:39.559
sec Row, I think you'll probably
get something out of this. But yeah,

700
00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:42.960
again, only just started it,
trying to see if it's going to

701
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.679
be able to maintain that at that
action throughout. Yeah, a lot of

702
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:51.599
the previews that I've seen floating around
popping up today very very high on the

703
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:53.480
game, and I feel like I'm
going in saying I was chatting to you

704
00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:59.800
you guys earlier before the show started
that I am not I'm not really enjoying

705
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:04.360
the combat at all, and I'm
trying to inform like my hands that it's

706
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:08.000
like, oh, this is like
a Coe techmo joint that try and temporary

707
00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:12.719
expectations and like align them with something
like Woolong, which this feels a lot

708
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.599
like, God, I can't remember
the full name of that game, Wolong

709
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:22.400
Fallen Dynasty. Sure that sounds right, And I'm trying to think of like,

710
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.719
oh, you know what, I
loved everyone's favorite final Fantasy game to

711
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:29.440
come out in the past five years, Final Fantasy, Strangers of Paradise.

712
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:37.199
But I think this it feels like
in those games, the combat where there's

713
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:42.599
there's a weird sense of gravity where
I'm used to in my action games,

714
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.920
like a lot more movement, a
lot more fluidity, like in a Devil

715
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:50.760
May Cry. And I think that's
where my taste is anchored in versus like

716
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:55.440
a heavier kind of like mechanics heavy
type of game like how Rise of Ronan

717
00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:00.639
is this game also for folks that
hate parry in any type of game.

718
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:07.960
This game is incredibly, incredibly reliant
on perio. Yeah, and I like

719
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.639
pairing, so I think that's where
I'm like, yeah, this works works

720
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:12.719
for me. And they do make
a big deal out of it. It's

721
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.079
like what do they even call it, like guard sparks or something like how

722
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:17.960
counter Sparks. Yeah, And it's
like a whole separate button from block.

723
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.920
It's like its own mechanics, separate
from everything else. And the windows so

724
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:27.079
far, from what I've experienced,
has been pretty big. It isn't as

725
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.480
punishing or demanding as Secaro, which
is like, yeah, that's why a

726
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:32.159
lot of these games do They're like, we don't have the confidence to be

727
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:37.079
as demanding of your of your skills
as a from soft game. So we

728
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:38.480
give you these wider windows. So
it's like, yeah, I'm pulling this

729
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:43.320
off. Mostly. I think the
thing for me jan is there's so many

730
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:46.920
mechanics that very early on they are
giving you these modifier buttons you need to

731
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:50.440
be pressing all the time. Yeah, it's like to do this, hit

732
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:54.119
R one, impress this button and
that's like to take out your weapon what

733
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:57.400
And then immediately after that it's like, right now, hold down, I

734
00:47:57.400 --> 00:47:59.760
think it's our one again, and
like press something else and it's like,

735
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:01.760
okay, am I going to I
have to be thinking about these modifiers already

736
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:06.079
constantly. This isn't like some you
know, tertiary scale. It's like,

737
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:08.239
no, this is a course goo
you're gonna be using constantly. And I'm

738
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:14.719
like, that's a bit overwhelming.
That feels not streamline, not optimized in

739
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:17.719
terms of the gameplay experience or something
like that. But maybe maybe they earn

740
00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:21.239
that later on by giving you so
much to do that it feels like,

741
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.920
of course we needed to use all
these buttons and all these combination combination factors.

742
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:28.679
But when you start off, it
just feels like, Okay, I'm

743
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:30.480
probably not gonna remember that, so
I'm probably not gonna use that, and

744
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:35.679
that feels core to this game,
and that's a little discouraging. Yeah,

745
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:39.800
it's it's funny with what types of
information they are throwing at you, Like

746
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:45.480
they're very willing to explain every different
game mechanic when it comes to the combat

747
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:49.280
when it comes, but when it
comes to like the story flow and the

748
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.079
general progression, once you get into
the open world, it's kind of just

749
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.440
like, all right, just go
over there. And then, like I

750
00:48:55.519 --> 00:49:00.119
thought this was kind of going in
my limited apearance with Ghost of Tsushima.

751
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:02.800
I thought this would be like,
oh, I'm just gonna explore the environment

752
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:07.440
until I get over there. Oh
what's up little two dudes hanging out by

753
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:10.079
this shack. You guys look like
pleasant farmers. Oh no, they're gonna

754
00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:16.199
try and kill me. And I
think it just wasn't I wasn't expecting everything

755
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:21.159
to be so hostile until you get
to the point where you were like liberating

756
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:23.679
a town, and even that process
it just goes by super fast, like

757
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:28.440
you roll into a village and it's
like, oh, okay, I just

758
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:31.599
got to kill seven dudes now and
this town is fine. Yeah, And

759
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:36.000
I got the sense for you,
like from like that from the intro video,

760
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:37.679
that there'll be all this like wild
stuff happening all the time that is

761
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:42.639
outside of combat, and that you
would be kind of having like a Yakuza

762
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.159
like experience where it's like we're gonna
have all these different things are going on,

763
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:46.719
and like, I don't get that
since early on it doesn't seem like

764
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:52.599
the game is actually gonna support that. Yeah, I think it's probably just

765
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.920
I'm hoping that it is just limited
to like this opening section of the game

766
00:49:55.920 --> 00:50:00.519
where it does kind of fell super
light and kind of empty, but even

767
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.840
like a dragon eishan similar ish setting, I feel like start on a stronger

768
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:07.920
foot. But I feel like maybe
because of the foundation is there for like

769
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:13.760
a Yakuza game to have that sprawling, well connected type of city area with

770
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:16.880
a bunch of stuff popping off versus
like a massive open world because I looked

771
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:21.519
at the map and Jesus Christ,
I don't know if I start feeling the

772
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:28.320
open world fatigue and start sweating just
looking at it, but it does seem

773
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.320
like there is a lot of depth
to it. There's like a very expansive

774
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:35.400
skill tree. They have you focus
in on whether or not you want strength

775
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:38.199
dexterity, kind of just like how
you would in a Soul's game. But

776
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:40.960
I'm curious to see how it opens
up. I really want to get to

777
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.519
the whatever flight suit that we've seen
in trailers, because I want to be

778
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:50.800
a little squirrel hang gliding man.
And what character like trade did you choose.

779
00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:54.719
I chose seducer, so I do
have like a higher skill check,

780
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:58.639
I guess, And so I'm like, Okay, well, I don't know

781
00:50:58.679 --> 00:51:00.639
when that's going to come in handy
or that's like something more passive in the

782
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:05.400
background. So I think that does
come in, and that comes in on

783
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:10.480
dialogue checks, where I think early
part of the game there may not be

784
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:15.159
is there may not have as much
opportunities for those I rolled with whichever one

785
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:20.760
was dexterity heavy. So I think
I can parry bullets, which is kind

786
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:23.719
of sick. That's always what you
want. The neat thing though, is

787
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:28.119
like you know, if you do
perry a projectile successfully, your sword for

788
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:32.639
whatever reason, catches on fire,
and you know there's a more damage to

789
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.599
posture and health. I think my
biggest gripe with the combat so far is

790
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:42.719
that they make such a big deal
of doing this counter spark thing and switching

791
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:49.239
between weapons and pairing successfully and breaking
posture maintaining your stamina that it kind of

792
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:53.320
falls apart from me specifically when they
introduce like a whole swarm of enemies,

793
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:57.519
because it doesn't feel like the combat
is suited for taking out a bunch of

794
00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:01.440
dudes if they're not all falling like
fly versus just like all right, one

795
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:07.320
on one, let's go mono imnou
And I've I've fallen into a couple of

796
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:14.920
situations where oh shit, there's a
wolf, there's three dudes, I'm dead.

797
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:17.079
But there is a grappling hook in
the game, so there is that.

798
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:20.519
Yeah, I think I think it's
probably gonna be a game that the

799
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:22.719
people that stick with it are gonna
find a lot of fun stuff in there.

800
00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:27.159
But in the first like two hour
window that we're in that we're allowed

801
00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:30.880
to talk about and that I'm still
in as I play, it's I'm like

802
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.039
trying to like, yeah it is, there gonna be something here for me,

803
00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:37.280
and I'm not sure. There's so
many games happening right now that I'm

804
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:38.719
gonna play for a little bit while
longer I'm gonna get out of this.

805
00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:40.440
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna see, like, oh, I picked that

806
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:44.880
seducer. Let me see if I
can do something fun with that. And

807
00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:46.599
if it doesn't catch me at that
point, I will probably put this aside.

808
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:51.079
But you know, Kobe Techmo does
a lot of these partnership games like

809
00:52:51.119 --> 00:52:53.840
this is a PlayStation studios game,
like they it open with the PlayStation studios,

810
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:59.360
like that Marvel Studios opening movie thing. It's a first party game,

811
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:04.119
and you know, Kobe Techno can
can get that stuff really right sometimes and

812
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:06.559
sometimes it's like it does feel like, oh, this was work for r

813
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:08.760
er work, and I'm gonna be
interested to see how this which side of

814
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:12.719
that it lands on. Yeah,
I haven't been super blown away by the

815
00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:15.559
visuals, and I think not to
spoil the news, but with like the

816
00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:20.400
rumblings of Ghost of Tsushima heading to
PC soon, I'm like, yeah,

817
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:24.679
I do like my Samurai fix,
I might just wait, especially when like

818
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:30.400
there's these art gigantic open world games
like Infinite Wealth that I have still yet

819
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:34.280
to finish, and like I'm deep, deep deep into Rebirth right now,

820
00:53:34.440 --> 00:53:37.400
let me. Tell y'all, I
peeped the homies at game Spot. I

821
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:42.280
checked out their video of how you
can break the game. Yeah, I'm

822
00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:46.000
nowhere near qualified to do that.
Max Blumenthal is a fucking genius, shouts

823
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:52.519
out to the homie. But oh
man, I don't understand how it feels

824
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:54.519
like I'm playing a different game sometimes
when you have UFI specked out in a

825
00:53:54.840 --> 00:54:00.280
specific way. But forget about Final
Fantasy seven for now. I want to

826
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:04.840
hear about a hot game also from
the nineties. Bro, I want to

827
00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:07.559
hear about tomb Raider one through three, the rebeat too. Tell me about

828
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:13.480
these visible keys. Yeah, so
I have had this on my Steam deck,

829
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:15.199
and like I said, I was
like, look for stuff to play

830
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:16.840
to talk about. I'm like,
you know, I complain about tom Raider

831
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:21.280
where I'm not sure it holds up, and I'm not sure if I ever

832
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:22.920
actually cared about these games all that
much in the first place. So I'm

833
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:27.320
like, I'll just go back and
I'll start playing, and I boot it

834
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:30.119
up, and it's I'll say,
out of the gate, I think they

835
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:32.559
do a good job with like what
you want from these kinds of remasters where

836
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:36.519
I could press a button, and
I'm immediately going between the two visual styles.

837
00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:39.000
You just hit the star button and
it'll flip you from the remaster visuals,

838
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:44.559
which are sixty frames per second with
upgrade at lighting and better character models,

839
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:46.079
and it looks okay. It looks
like if you were to put out

840
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:51.119
an indie game today, it would
look like that. And then you go

841
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:53.920
back to the old visuals and it's
like, man, remember PlayStation games and

842
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:58.719
when they didn't know what the hell
they were doing it. It's rough.

843
00:54:58.840 --> 00:55:00.559
It's rough, but in a nostalgic
and I've been playing a lot under in

844
00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:04.840
with those visuals as well, but
it's always like, and we're going back

845
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:07.400
to thirty frames per second as well, so you can see the difference there,

846
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:09.199
and it's like, it's rough.
The big thing for me is,

847
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:15.000
obviously, I think the tank controls
and the action itself, and it is

848
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:20.119
I'm realizing tomb Raider was very much
a cinematic platform, or like Prince of

849
00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:22.840
Persia taking into three D, that's
what it was. It is like,

850
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:27.400
you have to press that jump button
way before the jump is going to happen,

851
00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:29.960
so that registers are else you're going
to fall off the edge. Exactly.

852
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:34.199
Honestly, it feels exactly like the
early Prince of Persia games. They

853
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:37.320
do have modern controls, though,
so you can turn those on and now

854
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:40.880
you are moving around freely with the
stick. You no longer have to like

855
00:55:40.880 --> 00:55:45.639
press triangle to bring out your guns
and then press the X button to fire

856
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:47.920
them. You can move around freely
with the stick, and then you hold

857
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:51.119
down left trigger to pull out your
guns like any game, and then you

858
00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:54.840
press right trigger to fire the guns
like any other game. The trouble there

859
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:59.880
is that they have not really adjusted
the way the enemies work, so that

860
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:04.079
with tomb Raider, you pull out
your guns, she's gonna aim at them,

861
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:07.440
and actually the tank controls helps you
to keep the guys in front of

862
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:10.360
you. So with the modern controls, when an enemy moves around you and

863
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:14.599
you're like trying to like adjust that, you move in this direction and she

864
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:16.800
starts running towards the camera and now
it's like you've lost track of them,

865
00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:21.599
and it's actually much more difficult to
fire at the enemies with the modern control

866
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:23.719
So these wolves are running around,
so they should lock on, right,

867
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:27.480
yeah, I mean it's like they
should have They should have given you like

868
00:56:27.559 --> 00:56:30.239
a button to do the targeting.
Yes, that should have been like one

869
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:35.079
step further because it wasn't about like
you would always be able to kill the

870
00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:38.199
animals. I remember. It wasn't
about like I have to be strategic about

871
00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:43.440
that and dodge them. It was
just like, you know, like it

872
00:56:43.519 --> 00:56:46.760
was just that. So I wonder
like, is there a way to like

873
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:52.199
when you when you encounter them,
can you like real quick switch back to

874
00:56:52.239 --> 00:56:55.119
the Hill of Controls or is that
like that's menu shit now? So I

875
00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:59.280
did go back to Classic Controls,
mostly because it's like I was getting used

876
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:01.000
to the tank control season how the
game these games were made, that's kind

877
00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:06.159
of what I wanted to experience here. You get used to it. It's

878
00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:09.719
it's fine, It's just you know, these games were never that great in

879
00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:14.239
the first place. Oh see,
that's where like you use the organized egg

880
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:20.480
like they weren't. I just I
think that they all they were shocking to

881
00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:24.559
people because they I mean, I
think a Lara Craft Lara Croft was a

882
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:30.280
huge factor in Aara Craft Lara Kraft
Lara Croft was a huge factor of like,

883
00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:31.320
oh this is this is a you
know, a woman character and she's

884
00:57:31.360 --> 00:57:35.159
sexy on the cover and all that
stuff and that they played that up.

885
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:37.000
And I think it's just the fact
that it was like this three D adventure

886
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:40.599
that did feel somewhat cinematic. I
think that got a lot of people.

887
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:46.559
But then when you actually take control, it's slow and methodical to a fault,

888
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:52.760
and and these puzzles you're solving have
to be very basic because getting the

889
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:55.639
character around the world is so dumpy, feeling flunky. Yeah, yeah,

890
00:57:55.760 --> 00:58:00.760
clunky it is. And you know
it's so you run through, you die,

891
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:04.679
you miss jump, you get a
game over, you got to start

892
00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:07.039
the whole level level over again.
It's like, oh great, I get

893
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:08.239
to go through all these cool sequences. It's like, man, I got

894
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:13.880
to do this order of operations to
get through this stupid puzzle. And that's

895
00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:16.480
like those early levels where they're putting
their best foot forward, and it's just

896
00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:22.119
it's not great. Yeah. I
think, like the nostalgia I have for

897
00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:27.679
tomb Raider is not a quality based
nostalgia at all, Right, Like it's

898
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:30.039
a time of place thing. I
think, yeah, yeah, like,

899
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:31.840
and I'm I'm aware of that.
I think, you know, I think

900
00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:37.679
the Crystal Dynamics ones are mostly pretty
good. I think, yeah, sure,

901
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:40.960
the you know that that sort of
just turned them a bit kind of

902
00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:46.199
into you know, uncharted right and
just sort of like did that pretty well.

903
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:50.679
But I think the old ones,
you know, I have very fond

904
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:55.960
memories of just like banging my head
against the wall with this stupid fucking PlayStation

905
00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:00.719
game, being like this makes no
sense. What do you mean I'm looking

906
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:06.079
for? Like, I'm looking for
a ledge that is just as dark as

907
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:08.519
every other texture and this entire thing, and I can't reach it, and

908
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:12.400
every time I miss it, she
just falls to the bottom and just sort

909
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:15.239
of rag dolls amongst all the other
little polygon skeletons at the bottom there.

910
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:20.239
What am I doing? This is
insane, but I loved every second of

911
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:24.519
it. Yellow paint the ledge.
See back then there was no yellow paint.

912
00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:28.480
It had not been invented yet.
Even like there wasn't even like a

913
00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:30.840
second analog stick for most people,
and so you couldn't even like easily pain

914
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:35.960
around the environment like I. For
reasons that Greb mentioned about the platforming feelings

915
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:37.840
so deliberate and everything, I was
so used to Mario and everything that I

916
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:42.280
never really liked the platforming. And
I also never really liked the puzzles,

917
00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:45.239
but I was blown away by the
t Rex. So I own the game,

918
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:47.159
and I remember I would just play
up to the t Rex every time

919
00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:52.000
and kill it and be done.
But speaking of the control stuff and how

920
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:53.119
like you know, it kind of
breaks it a little bit with the new

921
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:57.760
controls. I think it's interesting when
an old game gets a re release with

922
00:59:57.800 --> 01:00:01.599
like quality of life control improvements that
make you kind of understand better why it

923
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:07.440
was that way in the first place. I remember the re release of the

924
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:09.960
Resident Evil GameCube remake. Remember in
like you know, twenty fifteen, twenty

925
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:14.760
sixteen, they really made like a
sixteen by nine h D version of that

926
01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:19.119
GameCube remake, and it had just
straight up like non tank controls. And

927
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:21.679
I turned that on at first,
and so you'd go around a corner,

928
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:23.239
the perspective would shift and then you're
running in a different direction. It's like,

929
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:25.079
oh, wait a minute, I'm
actually going to go back to the

930
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:29.360
tank controls, which honestly, I
never never bothered me that much, Like

931
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:30.199
I yeah, I was fine with
that one. I mean, if the

932
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:35.920
game with tank controls, it's usually
the whole game is based around the need

933
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:37.679
for that, and so you get
used to it, and it's like,

934
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:40.039
yeah, I mean, I mean, being an action game, have we

935
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:43.360
to have her like take corners and
be like okay. I'm like, now

936
01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:46.639
I'm doing too sharp of a term
because it's hard to gauge with a dpad

937
01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:51.000
and digital input. But whatever.
You get used to it pretty quickly,

938
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:54.599
and it turns out having the full
controls is a little bit more annoying for

939
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:57.960
other reasons, and so it kind
of needed to be this way, and

940
01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:00.239
you're right, and I got you
get used to it and it never bothered

941
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:04.280
me so much. Tank controls are
fine for the most part. YEP,

942
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:09.519
I probably am. I might try
to beat this first tomb Raider because I'm

943
01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:13.880
about halfway through it now, and
so I'm like, I think I want

944
01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:15.559
to just beat it and say I've
beaten it recently, because yeah, I

945
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:20.440
don't. I don't I remember like
not playing Tune Raider and then Turn Rader

946
01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:22.920
two came out. I think I
got it running on my PC and I

947
01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:24.559
played a lot of it and I
never loved it at that time. So

948
01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:28.480
I don't know if I've ever beaten
any of these original three tomb Raider games.

949
01:01:28.480 --> 01:01:30.960
So I might try to make think
I finished one in three. I

950
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:34.000
don't know if I did two,
and I'm trying to remember, like which

951
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:36.480
one was the one that people like
the most. I think they like Turn

952
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:39.559
Raider two the best, Angel Dark, right, that's the one that's number

953
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:45.159
one. Three. I think three
was also Dreamcast. That sounds right.

954
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:49.119
His last revelation was definitely on Dreamcast. I can't remember three. I mean

955
01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:52.079
one, two, and three are
all on PlayStation one might have gotten a

956
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:55.039
Dreamcast. I do want to go
through one just because I just want to

957
01:01:55.039 --> 01:01:59.880
feel all the feelings. I think
that this, if that's what you're after,

958
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:02.360
I think this remastered is a decent
job of giving you that. Yeah,

959
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:07.320
but there's and there's no like quality
of life improvement for like hints and

960
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:12.440
stuff. It's still all the same
sort of like bang on everything until you

961
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.960
find the way forward. Yeah,
that sounds that's right. But like I

962
01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:19.960
think what happens with the button to
switch between the two visuals If you're looking

963
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:22.079
for something and you're like can't find
it, if you switch like from one

964
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:25.360
to the other, something's gonna pop
out. Like that happened with me.

965
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:29.440
I was underwater and I couldn't like
I found the gate and I'm like,

966
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:30.679
how do I get out of this
gate? I'm gonna drown? And I

967
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:35.079
switched the other visuals real quick,
and then that made the lever I was

968
01:02:35.079 --> 01:02:37.480
supposed to be pulling pop out to
me and it's like okay, because it

969
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:42.159
sets like pixels and yeah, it's
like more. Yeah. Right, it's

970
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:44.559
not like the greatest solution in the
world, because it's like you have to

971
01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:47.159
completely change the way the game looks
to solve this, not puzzle, but

972
01:02:47.239 --> 01:02:51.400
whatever that that that is would be
a cool mechanic in a game, right,

973
01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:54.400
like yeah, you know, like
you gotta play the high resume,

974
01:02:54.519 --> 01:02:59.880
right, Yeah, it's like the
Windows game that grubs have been playing.

975
01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:02.639
Yeah, god man, Windows Kill. Do you think we live in a

976
01:03:02.679 --> 01:03:07.800
world where maybe Nathan Drake and Laura
Croft are more popular than Indiana Jones.

977
01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:13.360
It's close, definitely. There was
definitely a time when Laura Craft was more

978
01:03:13.400 --> 01:03:16.519
popular than Indiana Jones. Yeah,
I don't know about that anymore though.

979
01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:20.239
Yeah. It's it's like I think
it's a back and forth. Probably not,

980
01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:23.159
but I think it's a conversation.
Okay, I think Nathan got to

981
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:25.760
get his ship together, but he'll, you know, maybe he'll be all

982
01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:30.920
right, although I feel like by
the end of you know the time the

983
01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:35.559
Circle game, what is it called
Indiana, a great circle Dial of Destiny

984
01:03:35.599 --> 01:03:39.679
the Machine Games game. Oh yeah, hah, a great circle. Yeah.

985
01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:43.960
I think that'll pull Indie back in
front, especially with the with the

986
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:47.199
Uncharted movie not doing like the Hottest
So yeah, well, I mean I

987
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:52.039
think we should talk now and end
the segment with the greatest Circle, the

988
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:57.239
squared Circle, Ladies and gentlemen.
That's a good one. Yeah, well

989
01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:00.760
done. WWE two K twenty four
I haven't had the chance to check this

990
01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:03.400
out yet, Dan, but I've
heard good things about this one. It's

991
01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:10.039
good. It is good. I've
been shitting on WAE games for most of

992
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:15.559
my career because the large majority of
them are bad or different shades of bad.

993
01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:18.159
This, I would say, is
the best I've played since two K

994
01:04:18.280 --> 01:04:23.719
fourteen, that first two K one, and that also that was the thirty

995
01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:26.840
years of WrestleMania mode. This is
the forty years of WrestleMania mode, because

996
01:04:26.840 --> 01:04:30.119
that's how time works. So I
played through the whole Showcase mode and I

997
01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:33.639
still am very annoyed by the way
they structure that and paste it out because

998
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:36.800
all these matches are like, I
like the idea of recreating these classic matches,

999
01:04:36.840 --> 01:04:41.639
but the way they do it where
it's just like there's fifteen super specific

1000
01:04:41.719 --> 01:04:45.000
objectives you got to do and then
if like just some horseshit happens on the

1001
01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:46.480
fifteenth one, I was like,
oh, I didn't reverse three strikes in

1002
01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:49.199
a row. You got to restart
the whole thing. And the way,

1003
01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:55.440
like I understand that you want to
show the history of these matches, and

1004
01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:58.599
so they like to cut you know, in and out of the their slangshot

1005
01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:00.920
technology or whatever they used to call
it, of the actual footage, but

1006
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:04.320
it's like they want you to play
like you want to play the exciting moments

1007
01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:06.280
of the match, the big moves
and stuff. So a lot of the

1008
01:05:06.280 --> 01:05:12.119
times it's like I'm just watching like
I'm watching Hulk Cogan and the Ultimate Warrior

1009
01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:15.599
lay on the ground for two minutes
or like rest hoolds like headlocks and bear

1010
01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:19.599
hugs and stuff, and I'm watching
this with like way too specific narration,

1011
01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:23.719
Like you know, they have Corey
Graves reading a ton of stuff where it's

1012
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:27.280
just like Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate
Warrior ran crisscross against the ropes for the

1013
01:05:27.320 --> 01:05:30.239
second time, and then they ran
into each other and it took Hogan longer

1014
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:31.960
to get up than the Warrior,
and then under the giant hit his head.

1015
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:34.760
Oh is he going to be days? But then Hogan got back in

1016
01:05:34.760 --> 01:05:38.719
the ring and it's like, Okay, I don't need all this, and

1017
01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:43.360
also I don't I don't want to
have to do every hyper specific thing and

1018
01:05:43.480 --> 01:05:46.000
set my controller down for two minutes
while I watched this, And it wasn't

1019
01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:49.840
until I was done with that,
and I just had my friend John Carson

1020
01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:54.800
come over and we played a bunch
of multiplayer matches and that were not constrained

1021
01:05:54.800 --> 01:05:59.679
to reality. We did Muhammad Ali
versus Rob Van Dam and the Hammerstein Ballroom

1022
01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:03.360
Prease and I got Ali power bombing
RBD through a flaming table and shit,

1023
01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:06.679
and like that's just when you get
to play a video game and it's fun.

1024
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:11.800
It's actually like the systems make more
sense to me this time. Like

1025
01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:15.440
I feel like the last decade plus
of wrestling games are all the way back

1026
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:17.920
to the SmackDown Versus RAS series,
It's just been a million different, Like

1027
01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:21.320
how do you gauge you know,
stamina versus this meter and that meter and

1028
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:25.800
your reversals. Now I can't reverse
because this meter dropped down. Like I

1029
01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:29.039
feel like, I don't know if
the tutorial is just better or if they

1030
01:06:29.159 --> 01:06:32.280
kind of consolidated things quite a bit, but it it makes more sense.

1031
01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:36.519
I kind of just understood what was
going on more. It does annoy me

1032
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:41.039
that, like a lot of the
gameplay does still come down to like staring

1033
01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:44.159
above your character's head and waiting for
a triangle to pop up and being like,

1034
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:45.920
oh, got to dodge that,
you know, like it's all like

1035
01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:48.400
this, like waiting for a reversal
thing that pops up for a couple frames.

1036
01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:50.880
That's not fun, But I don't
know how else you do it.

1037
01:06:50.920 --> 01:06:56.519
I feel like wrestling, like there
are one hundred wrestling games and like six

1038
01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:59.480
of them are good. You know. I think wrestling is a hard thing

1039
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:03.639
to translate to video games. I
think the stuff that it does well is

1040
01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:06.320
like, you know, all the
creation stuff. Even in the bad games,

1041
01:07:06.599 --> 01:07:10.079
the creation stuff is really fun.
It's fun to make wrestlers, it's

1042
01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:13.280
fun to make entrances, and like, you know, and that stuff is

1043
01:07:13.320 --> 01:07:15.599
still there. So when that's there
and the gameplay is better like in this

1044
01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:19.639
one, I think you've got something
it's still not a great game, but

1045
01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:24.920
I think it's a good game now. The additions, like the ambulance match

1046
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:28.599
is pretty fun. The casket match
is like a less fun version of that,

1047
01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:30.039
where it's basically just you try to
beat up the other guy enough to

1048
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:32.840
where you can beat this mini game
at the end. It's basically the submission

1049
01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:38.000
mini game where you're just you know, jamming on buttons faster than your opponent

1050
01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:43.000
and stuff like that. But yeah, it's solid, good roster. You

1051
01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:46.039
know. The Showcase mode annoys me, as it always has. I mean,

1052
01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:50.320
that's again, that's over a decade
of that. But I don't know.

1053
01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:55.639
They started writing the ship after twenty
was disastrous and they took a couple

1054
01:07:55.760 --> 01:07:59.360
years off. Twenty two was better, twenty three was better than that,

1055
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:01.280
and this is better in that and
uh, I think they're just they're moving

1056
01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:04.599
in the right right direction. So
good to see. Yeah, I I

1057
01:08:04.679 --> 01:08:10.639
remember, I think it was last
year's released doing the Showcase mode and just

1058
01:08:10.719 --> 01:08:15.159
kind of just sitting there watching polygonal
men do rest holds. And that's my

1059
01:08:15.279 --> 01:08:21.039
least favorite part of shoot wrestling is
uh rest holds. Okay, but I'm

1060
01:08:21.079 --> 01:08:26.479
glad to hear that they're on an
upwards trajectory. Give me the head mode.

1061
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.319
They had that a few years ago. I wonder if they I haven't

1062
01:08:30.319 --> 01:08:33.199
seen big head mode yet. You
can play as a Cody Rhodes injured Peck

1063
01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:41.159
action figure. Oh cool, Yeah, it's that hell one. Yeah,

1064
01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:44.840
okay, all right, well I
mean all over this one. Yeah.

1065
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:47.560
At least folks now don't have to
I guess right now they have to make

1066
01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:53.479
their versions to see them punk.
But uh down the line with some DLC.

1067
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:56.199
Punker is going to be in there
again. Yeah, I'll be in

1068
01:08:56.239 --> 01:09:00.359
the season pass. Yeah. What
a weird world of wrestling we live in.

1069
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:05.439
But don't worry. We won't talk
about wrestling right now, at least

1070
01:09:08.199 --> 01:09:13.159
about wrestling. It'll be it'll be
like sprinkled throughout, folks, don't worry,

1071
01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.920
Like a little flavor crystal you bite
into, it's like, oh God,

1072
01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:19.520
love those like a clothesline. Oh
man, that's a nice power bomb.

1073
01:09:20.399 --> 01:09:25.720
Folks will be back with some video
game news right after this quick break,

1074
01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:33.960
and we're back with Giant Bomb's own
Steve Blackman, adjacent news reporting man,

1075
01:09:34.000 --> 01:09:48.399
the most dangerous man in video game
news, the lethal Weapon. Can

1076
01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:54.960
we, Jeff? Can we license
the Steve Blackman entrance music for news,

1077
01:09:55.640 --> 01:10:00.359
It might just be yes, what
the you're talking about? All right,

1078
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:12.960
that's a yes, who's wrestling?
Obviously it's wrestling's interance music for a nightly

1079
01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:15.279
news anchor. Yeah, that's right. Is there's someone in wrestling who's like

1080
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:19.479
a news anchor. That's his gimmick. Well there was the Randy News Network

1081
01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:23.279
when he was injured, but that
was brief. Sounds like a no,

1082
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:28.239
yeah, not really, not really, no, all right, let's hop

1083
01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:31.359
in here. Let's let's start just
saying wrestful trails to a curatoryama. Uh.

1084
01:10:32.279 --> 01:10:36.439
Toriyama died. He is responsible for
the artwork in so many great things.

1085
01:10:36.520 --> 01:10:41.079
Krona triggered Dragon ball Z dragon Ball
Uh, and that was it was

1086
01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:44.399
really sad news to see that he
passed a lot of outpouring from the industry,

1087
01:10:44.439 --> 01:10:47.640
people throughout video games saying their goodbyes
and saying how inspired they were by

1088
01:10:47.720 --> 01:10:53.960
him. Uh, curator curia a
curatoryama is. It was sixty eight and

1089
01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:57.239
I really am going to start rewatching
Dragon ball Z. Now That's what I've

1090
01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:00.760
been thinking about this whole past week. So rest in peace, watchc just

1091
01:11:01.319 --> 01:11:05.960
I'll watch throw it in there.
You know, I'm not hyper familiar with

1092
01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:11.039
like a lot of anime, even
though I go around calling myself an anime

1093
01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:16.920
expert. Oh that's just ah,
that's just my gimmick. And at the

1094
01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:25.840
end of this week's Uh Jeff Jeff's
Bizarre Adventure, John talks about, uh,

1095
01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:30.439
you know, the sort of like
impact that that that this person had

1096
01:11:30.439 --> 01:11:32.920
on on on the world, and
you know, Tam helps him talk about

1097
01:11:32.920 --> 01:11:38.760
it's really really good to hear that. Like, I was very impressed in

1098
01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:42.800
sort of it was heartwarming, sort
of a send off, so it was

1099
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:46.720
very special. Just an actual Titan, just some someone that was as culturally

1100
01:11:46.920 --> 01:11:53.720
influential as you possibly could be.
Everyone knows Goku. It is like a

1101
01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:59.079
creating Superman and kind of beyond him
many ways. All Right, there was

1102
01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:02.720
a leak for The Spider Man the
Great Web, which was the multiplayer game

1103
01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:06.079
that Insomniac was working on. The
trailer leaked online, and this was like

1104
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:12.159
a fully market ready trailer. This
follows the big Insomniac leak that had a

1105
01:12:12.159 --> 01:12:15.920
ton of data in it. This
was something that people had found in there

1106
01:12:15.159 --> 01:12:18.279
and it shows what the game kind
of was actually supposed to be. Like

1107
01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:23.279
we've seen screenshots before, but this
really lays it out as what the product

1108
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:27.159
would have been. It was a
five player multiplayer game where five people get

1109
01:12:27.159 --> 01:12:30.600
together as different versions of Spider Man
and take on the Sinister Six in New

1110
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:36.399
York City. And it looked really
cool. I mean, it's hard to

1111
01:12:36.520 --> 01:12:39.359
look at that and be like,
well, why why wouldn't you put that

1112
01:12:39.399 --> 01:12:42.199
out? I mean I can assume
that, like, well, they got

1113
01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:44.319
to a point where it's like,
yeah, it works, it's functionally,

1114
01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:46.000
is fun. But is this a
game we could support as a live service

1115
01:12:46.039 --> 01:12:48.680
game for a long time? I
mean, I don't know. I hope

1116
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:51.640
it's not as simple as that,
but it's probably what it came down to.

1117
01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:56.159
But this trailer's out there. It's
got Uri Lowenthal, the voice actor

1118
01:12:56.159 --> 01:13:00.000
for Spider Man, narrating it,
setting it up, and boy, I'm

1119
01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:01.119
kind of bummed that this thing is
not going to see the light of day,

1120
01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:04.439
at least as it stands right now. Certainly, yeah, it looked

1121
01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:09.800
really cool, and just seeing it
kind of like visualized of like four Spider

1122
01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:14.479
people just whipping around seems incredibly chaotic. And at the end of the trailer

1123
01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:19.000
they have them dropping through like the
uh like temporations, dimensions and stuff,

1124
01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:23.520
and it's like, oh, man, I need really funk you with this.

1125
01:13:24.439 --> 01:13:27.880
I know, like you could be
your Scarlet Spider, you could be

1126
01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:30.439
what's his face? Tell me about
it? Tell me about it. I

1127
01:13:31.560 --> 01:13:36.600
Yeah, I really struggle with this
because I do think you almost want to

1128
01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:43.520
like not believe it's four reasons that
are solely you know, just sort of

1129
01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:45.479
that cut and dry kind of like, well, we just have to pull

1130
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:49.520
the plug because it's not gonna do
as well as we want and wanted to

1131
01:13:49.560 --> 01:13:55.279
target to do and right like that, and that's really upsetting. Yeah,

1132
01:13:55.359 --> 01:14:00.600
And it's they had multiplayer modes that
they were working on Forced by Man two

1133
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:02.199
that that was going to come on
an update, and the word was that

1134
01:14:02.199 --> 01:14:06.079
that's been canceled as well. It's
like called all the ideas that could like

1135
01:14:06.159 --> 01:14:09.600
show up from this, it's like
where where are they going to have a

1136
01:14:09.680 --> 01:14:13.720
chance to re emerge. Obviously,
Insomniac is still doing a ton of stuff.

1137
01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:15.880
They are gonna make that spinoff Venom, there's a Spider Man three.

1138
01:14:16.239 --> 01:14:19.199
There are X Men games, multiple
x Men games in the works, all

1139
01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:23.079
from Insomniac, So they're busy.
I get like, I'm glad that they

1140
01:14:23.079 --> 01:14:26.439
don't have a distraction from that stuff
in the form of an ongoing multiplayer game.

1141
01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:28.760
But if they could have made this
work, that would have been very

1142
01:14:28.760 --> 01:14:30.319
cool. It's a shame that again
that we won't get a chance to play

1143
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:35.199
it. Yeah, you could easily
like do a Dan Doko Dare style thing

1144
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:40.600
or stream in it now had two
spider men just like whipping around trying to

1145
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:43.199
race each other. Yeah, that
one part of New York. There are

1146
01:14:43.239 --> 01:14:47.199
a lot of possibilities in there,
and it's a we did. We lived

1147
01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:49.800
in a world at one point where
it's like, yeah, every game can

1148
01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:53.039
have a multiplayer mode ship with it, and now it's like, well,

1149
01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:56.119
if the multiplayer mode can't stand alone, is its own game that will last

1150
01:14:56.159 --> 01:15:00.439
four years. It's not even worth
like going after that. That that's where

1151
01:15:00.479 --> 01:15:03.560
we're at right now. All right, get out the hard drugs for Mario

1152
01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:11.680
Day time to celebrate as Mario does. That's what the doc says. There's

1153
01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:14.319
only one way to celebrate Mario Day, and that's with lots of alcohol and

1154
01:15:14.319 --> 01:15:16.680
hard drugs. Backlard, do it
right. They had a handful announcements on

1155
01:15:16.720 --> 01:15:21.439
Sunday, which was March tenth,
also known as Mario Day. Three games

1156
01:15:21.439 --> 01:15:26.039
are joining game Boy on Nintendo Switch
Online. That's Doctor Mario, Mario Golf,

1157
01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:29.560
and Mario Tennis. I'm a fan
of at least two of those,

1158
01:15:29.560 --> 01:15:32.439
and I think Doctor Mario's got great
music, so that's pretty cool. It

1159
01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:36.600
also gave dates on two upcoming games, paper Mario the Thousand Year Doors releasing

1160
01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:41.479
May twenty third, and Luigi's Match
A two HD is dropping June twenty seventh,

1161
01:15:41.720 --> 01:15:44.039
So we have a good idea of
what Nintendo's first half of the year

1162
01:15:44.119 --> 01:15:46.920
lineup now fully looks like. And
then of course they dropped a tiny bit

1163
01:15:47.119 --> 01:15:53.199
of info about the upcoming Nintendo and
Illumination co production of a new movie based

1164
01:15:53.239 --> 01:15:56.880
on Super Mario Brothers that will be
a follow up to Super Mario Brothers.

1165
01:15:57.199 --> 01:16:00.479
Why was their language around this so
odd? Yeah, so they don't explicitly

1166
01:16:00.520 --> 01:16:05.439
say SEQL anywhere, and they say
things like, you know, it's we're

1167
01:16:05.439 --> 01:16:10.760
thinking about broadening Mario's world further and
it'll have a bright and fun story.

1168
01:16:11.319 --> 01:16:14.720
We will hope you look forward to
it. And then Chris Son, Chris

1169
01:16:14.760 --> 01:16:18.239
Meladandri, who is the head of
Illumination, said on pro too announce our

1170
01:16:18.279 --> 01:16:23.199
return to Super Mario Brothers. We
start animation soon and rest assured. We're

1171
01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:26.600
stressing over every detail to get it
right. So, I mean, listen,

1172
01:16:26.680 --> 01:16:30.039
what this game is going to be
very Mario related. It probably is

1173
01:16:30.119 --> 01:16:32.319
going to be a sequel. I
guess there's a movie, Yes, thank

1174
01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:35.600
you. There's a chance they might
try to do something that's maybe a little

1175
01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:39.479
bit more of a spinoff first before
they do Mario two. And that's why

1176
01:16:39.479 --> 01:16:42.520
they're couching in this language. I
don't know. People were speculating, Mabe,

1177
01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:45.119
this would be a Yoshi focused movie. That seems a bit early.

1178
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:47.479
I don't know, you know,
they should, they should do it,

1179
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:54.239
but like good, yeah, that's
maybe that's not an option backler, I

1180
01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:57.159
don't know, no, no,
I mean, look, I enjoyed that

1181
01:16:57.239 --> 01:16:59.800
first film, as you know,
it was. It was fine, right

1182
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:03.880
uh, but like totally, I
think what they maybe learned was some of

1183
01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:06.720
that. I think some of that
fell through the cracks of people being like,

1184
01:17:08.119 --> 01:17:11.720
oh this this, this is a
movie, and this could be better.

1185
01:17:11.800 --> 01:17:15.159
And I think maybe that's where it's
gonna come. Maybe that's where that

1186
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:18.119
energy is sort of making room for
they could do whatever they want. It

1187
01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:21.399
doesn't matter. It does not matter. They could literally tell a wildly different

1188
01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:25.840
story and it wouldn't It wouldn't matter. People still go to see it.

1189
01:17:25.920 --> 01:17:30.279
Right, Mario's guaranteed to be box
office successful, Like I think from now,

1190
01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:33.439
I think so. I think it's
like a really solid bet. I

1191
01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:39.439
think it's a wildly low risk gamble. Yeah for sure. Yeah, I

1192
01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:44.479
agree with that. It's probably gonna
be supermar Brothers too. Okay, okay,

1193
01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:47.840
it probably will be returned to Boklyn. Hear hear me out. You

1194
01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:57.000
get Captain Toad. Toad gets dropped
into like a sand uh Biome level world

1195
01:17:57.119 --> 01:18:02.520
in Mario and then he has to
ride a giant wiggler. Okay, okay,

1196
01:18:02.560 --> 01:18:05.560
that'd be cool. And then Toad
has to get a Hella high and

1197
01:18:05.640 --> 01:18:11.680
the drugs. Yeah, this is
NC seventeen. This this sequel for sure,

1198
01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:14.880
Like Lot has like a fucked up
sun right, Yeah, I have

1199
01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:17.960
a nudity on every Toad. Yeah, yeah, I really This is the

1200
01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:24.560
one thing I this is my like
actual real criticism. I think the music

1201
01:18:24.680 --> 01:18:30.399
that they licensed for the movie was
very stupid. Oh elation, that's what

1202
01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:33.079
they do, like when you really
just zoom out and like like not take

1203
01:18:33.119 --> 01:18:36.640
it from what it's like, what
it's really dumb? What was that?

1204
01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:42.600
It was so dumb? It was
the most like obvious choice for any situation,

1205
01:18:43.399 --> 01:18:47.159
and they would save hundreds, if
not millions of dollars, not licenses.

1206
01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:51.039
Just how illimination makes movies though,
I get it right. You're just

1207
01:18:51.079 --> 01:18:55.159
like, oh, yeah, this
is the moment for like aha to pop

1208
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:58.720
in. You know, it's like, what the fuck is this? You

1209
01:18:58.920 --> 01:19:02.279
like, don't worry, You've got
me. I'm forty two and I played

1210
01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:06.119
Mario growing up, Like you don't
have to play take on me as well.

1211
01:19:06.319 --> 01:19:14.880
I'm already pot committed. Don't worry
the most Yeah, Like, who

1212
01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:16.680
was that for? I don't know
it. I think it's for I think

1213
01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:21.479
it's for like when you bring the
family for who. I think when you

1214
01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:25.199
bring the family and it's like,
well, you know Grandma's gonna come as

1215
01:19:25.239 --> 01:19:30.359
well. It's like I've been Jones
for a c DZ. She's just like,

1216
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:31.680
oh, I know that song.
I think it's that simple. I

1217
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:35.920
think I tell a little maketure thinks
about making movies. Yes, And I

1218
01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:39.840
mean, you know, take on
Me as a phenomenal song. I will

1219
01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:45.680
never not I will never be upset
hearing it, except when I heard yeah

1220
01:19:45.720 --> 01:19:50.520
it was it was. Those were
some wild needle drops. Go back to

1221
01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:55.359
the games Mario Golf, Mario Tennis. Those are the the RPG ones from

1222
01:19:55.399 --> 01:19:58.560
Camelot though, and they're for the
Game Boy Color. They are very,

1223
01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:00.119
very good if you have not tried
those four. This is what people are

1224
01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:03.680
always talking about when they complain about
the single player in any other Mario Sports

1225
01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:09.039
game ever since these except the Game
Boy Advanced ones that had some similar RPG

1226
01:20:09.119 --> 01:20:12.560
stuff in there. And then yeah, Paper Mario Thousand to Your Door and

1227
01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:15.600
Luigi's Mansion two HD. I I
will be playing a thousand year door.

1228
01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:20.600
I'm probably okay on the Louigi's Mansion
two HD. That that's the common consensus.

1229
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:24.920
I hear. That's not why it's
not good. It's dark Moon and

1230
01:20:24.920 --> 01:20:29.239
it's it's okay, it's not it's
probably the lesser of the trilogy. And

1231
01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:33.720
like, I'm not super hot on
Louigi's Mansion in general. Mansion three,

1232
01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:39.479
right, Yeah, you know three, I liked a lot, a lot.

1233
01:20:39.920 --> 01:20:43.720
It's it's an eight, it's to
eight. I would say, sure,

1234
01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:45.439
right, yeah, I got to
protect my kid from two. Then

1235
01:20:46.800 --> 01:20:49.960
yeah. I mean it's not bad, it's just it's slow and it's long.

1236
01:20:50.239 --> 01:20:54.239
But like he I feel like,
you know, it's been a couple

1237
01:20:54.279 --> 01:20:57.319
of years since he played three,
and he really just play three, replay

1238
01:20:57.319 --> 01:20:59.800
three? Yeah, do that instead. I don't know if he's his brain

1239
01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:03.119
can handle something like that just yet
replaying a game or yeah, like replaying

1240
01:21:03.119 --> 01:21:05.880
a game, like just the idea
of like do this again, to watch

1241
01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:11.319
eighty movies over and over again,
but we'll play a game. We probably

1242
01:21:11.319 --> 01:21:15.039
don't have too much longer to wait
for Luigi's mansion, for that is almost

1243
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:17.520
certainly what that studio is going to
work on for the switch to first put

1244
01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:26.079
in a mall make dead rhymes with
Luigi, and then we're talking bobbies,

1245
01:21:26.399 --> 01:21:29.680
yeah Luigi and a parking garage filled
with ghosts, and you get a big

1246
01:21:29.680 --> 01:21:32.560
ass vacuum car yeah yeah, yeah, an echo he has his own ec

1247
01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:36.960
though essentially got the check Nintendo.
Yeah. This makes perfect sense because like

1248
01:21:38.199 --> 01:21:43.239
malls are abandoned anyway, and like
they're haunted by you know, retail from

1249
01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:46.880
the nineties, and at and let's
go story four, Luigi would get banned

1250
01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:50.640
at a Spencer's Gifts. He'd be
too scared to go in there. I

1251
01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:55.119
think it was black lights. Yeah, that's true. Uh. And then

1252
01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:58.079
the paper Mario, the Fasten Your
Door, that is probably the best of

1253
01:21:58.079 --> 01:22:00.800
the paper Mario games in many people's
estimates. Yes, that's correct, and

1254
01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:03.079
it's it's still going to hold up. People are going to play this game

1255
01:22:03.119 --> 01:22:05.359
for the first time and be like, yeah, they should make more paper

1256
01:22:05.399 --> 01:22:09.880
Marios like this, and they will
be correct. I thought Gomi was good,

1257
01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:13.640
Come on, right, it's good
except for the combat, which you

1258
01:22:13.680 --> 01:22:15.399
do a lot, exactly. There's
no reason to do the it's it's the

1259
01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:18.399
reason they've all pretty much sucked since
thousand Your Door is because there's no reason

1260
01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:21.600
to do the combat, and the
combat's not it's combat itself is not fun

1261
01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:25.279
on its own, right, Yeah, yeah, you're right. That game

1262
01:22:25.319 --> 01:22:28.920
is when you get a powerful enough
Mario that you can hit hit one of

1263
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:30.720
the enemies with the hammer to initiate
combat, and it said they just die

1264
01:22:30.760 --> 01:22:34.279
immediately. Yeah. Yeah, that
was Your Door. I played for the

1265
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:36.680
first time at the beginning of the
pandemic. I'd never played it before,

1266
01:22:36.760 --> 01:22:40.760
and it holds up. It's very
very funny. I love that first Paper

1267
01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:43.960
Mario. But yeah, two is
better. Got it? Orgonmi King is

1268
01:22:43.960 --> 01:22:45.920
like such like my kid wants to
play it, and then we get to

1269
01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:48.399
the combat and she's like, I
know you do this dat, I'm like,

1270
01:22:48.439 --> 01:22:50.039
I don't even I do not want
to do it either, kid.

1271
01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:55.119
And the ticker Star color splash sicker
Star is an abomination upon God. Yeah,

1272
01:22:55.640 --> 01:22:59.520
sticker Star so much there. I
don't know why we were so charitable

1273
01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:04.079
to like get through that. We
we definitely locked horns with that combat stuff

1274
01:23:04.119 --> 01:23:08.760
and we just like we just everything
else in Origami King actually is fun.

1275
01:23:08.840 --> 01:23:13.159
That bomb Bomb that like sacrifices himself
for you is like such a cool character.

1276
01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:15.039
What a guy? Yeah, what
a dude. And there's a ton

1277
01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:18.840
of stuff like that, and so
it's like the best like secondary character cast

1278
01:23:19.239 --> 01:23:25.560
since a thousand year door. I'll
play that. Yeah. Adult Swim Games

1279
01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:30.079
its entire library may get delisted by
May. This is news out of Warner

1280
01:23:30.079 --> 01:23:33.960
Brothers continually just a beef things up. They are retiring the label within sixty

1281
01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:38.960
days. According to Fist Puncher developer
Matt Kaine, Warner Brothers is not granted

1282
01:23:39.039 --> 01:23:42.520
developers the rights to their game to
their own games, a decision described by

1283
01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:45.439
Kane as a universal decision across the
board. A developer, Owen Deary,

1284
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:50.840
also discovered WB's removal of his twenty
sixteen game Small Radios Big Televisions from digital

1285
01:23:50.840 --> 01:23:57.479
stores, citing quote business changes with
WB declining to transfer games to their creators.

1286
01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:00.800
Michael Mulinari, involved in Sound Out
Your Plus, alleged that despite proving

1287
01:24:00.920 --> 01:24:05.359
IP rights, WB rejected his request
to transfer Steam ownership, which is a

1288
01:24:05.359 --> 01:24:11.199
matter of like three button clicks.
This is obviously a could serve five game

1289
01:24:11.239 --> 01:24:15.199
preservation. It also just stinks because
Adult Swim Games was very cool. They

1290
01:24:15.319 --> 01:24:18.159
always had a really good voice and
had a great did a great job of

1291
01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:21.079
finding these games and highlighting them and
bringing to them, bringing them to the

1292
01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:26.199
four. And it's just a shame
that there's another casualty of Warner Brothers trying

1293
01:24:26.199 --> 01:24:29.640
to save money at all costs because
they owe a huge amount of debt.

1294
01:24:29.720 --> 01:24:31.960
I guess this is what it comes
down to. So, yeah, adults

1295
01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:35.640
in games not really a going concern
for quite some time, but now fully

1296
01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:41.079
kind of being like collapsed under the
weight of Warner Brothers. This is real

1297
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:45.439
shame. Yeah, agreed. I
uh, I guess when I think of

1298
01:24:45.479 --> 01:24:49.000
like game preservation. I think of
collecting physical cards and being able to do

1299
01:24:49.039 --> 01:24:54.760
it that way. I guess I
have yet to think about the digital age,

1300
01:24:54.760 --> 01:24:58.720
where there's just gonna be a bunch
of downloadable games that just get loan.

1301
01:24:58.760 --> 01:25:01.000
Think about what happened like flash It's
like the way to his flash games

1302
01:25:01.039 --> 01:25:04.960
just don't work online anymore, and
so there was like this effort to collect

1303
01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:09.920
them along in this like one Bespoke
launcher and you could download that thing.

1304
01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:13.840
But it's like two hundred and fifty
gigabytes of flash games and stuff like that,

1305
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:16.199
and that's the way to preserve them, but it's not ideal. And

1306
01:25:16.239 --> 01:25:18.840
then there's all these little games in
between those eras. It's like is this

1307
01:25:18.880 --> 01:25:21.560
a flash game or is this like
a game that is was on Steam?

1308
01:25:21.560 --> 01:25:24.640
And some of them made up to
Steam and some of them are like this

1309
01:25:24.720 --> 01:25:27.720
is going to be on the Adult
Swim website and things like that. It's

1310
01:25:27.720 --> 01:25:30.720
like, are those preserved not as
much? Yeah, it's a shame in

1311
01:25:30.760 --> 01:25:35.640
all these cases. Hopefully WB relents
and lets these creators, many of whom

1312
01:25:35.720 --> 01:25:39.920
own the ips of these games.
Yeah, like they'll take them back,

1313
01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:45.119
and like won't that leave them?
Won't that expose them, like in terms

1314
01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:47.760
of legality, like like what are
we doing? Like yeah, I mean,

1315
01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:50.600
I don't know. Maybe in some
cases, like I'm kind of racking

1316
01:25:50.600 --> 01:25:53.680
my head over this stuff because it's
like, all right, well in the

1317
01:25:53.800 --> 01:26:00.840
name of you know, cost cutting, like certainly someone like that's a neutral

1318
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:04.720
sort of transfer anyway, right,
Like if you're seeing it as a cost

1319
01:26:04.760 --> 01:26:09.479
cutting measure to just absolve yourself,
right and just like wash your hands of

1320
01:26:09.560 --> 01:26:13.920
the property, then like fucking be
normal about it. Yep, be normal,

1321
01:26:14.479 --> 01:26:16.359
Just like let these creators have their
games back and be fucking normal.

1322
01:26:16.479 --> 01:26:19.520
WB. What the fuck? That's
a very difficult thing for w B.

1323
01:26:20.479 --> 01:26:26.239
Starbreeze is ousting at CEO due to
the disastrous state of pay Day three.

1324
01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:33.000
Pay Day three is Who's a friend? Payday three is doing very rough since

1325
01:26:33.039 --> 01:26:36.760
Payday two launched, or since Payda
three launched. Pay Day two now has

1326
01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:42.000
eighty five times more players actively than
Payday three. As on any certain day,

1327
01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:45.159
it is a game no one wants
to be playing. The issue seems

1328
01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:48.279
to be that Payday two has a
ton of content and people have made a

1329
01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:53.239
ton of purchases, and Payday three
not up the stuff in the basics and

1330
01:26:53.279 --> 01:26:57.199
then it's just missing all that stuff. So people are just sticking with pay

1331
01:26:57.279 --> 01:27:01.359
Day two. Now this is a
specctually troublesome because you put Payday three out,

1332
01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:04.439
It's like it makes sense. People
want multiplayer games they could play with

1333
01:27:04.479 --> 01:27:08.159
their friends. Pay Day two did
great, and it's not like, oh,

1334
01:27:08.159 --> 01:27:12.560
well maybe that's just over hell Divers
doing fantastic kind of filling a similar

1335
01:27:12.600 --> 01:27:16.880
but clearly different gap there, but
no Payday three is just kind of crashing

1336
01:27:16.920 --> 01:27:21.880
and burning. So they have dropped
a CEO, Tobias a Shogrin, and

1337
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:26.520
they told investors this, and now
they are looking for a new CEO,

1338
01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:30.119
but they have a Jurgen Goldener is
going to be the interim CEO. But

1339
01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:31.880
basically they're going to have to turn
around pay Day three. That seems to

1340
01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:35.720
be the big goal there. And
this is their mea CALLPAP to investors in

1341
01:27:35.760 --> 01:27:43.159
the meantime. This is I think
the this illustrates just how volatile this stuff

1342
01:27:43.199 --> 01:27:45.319
is, right because you put out
something like Payday three, like yeah,

1343
01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:47.680
maybe it'll have a slow start,
but it'll pick up over time. And

1344
01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:50.720
now it's like, actually, there's
a world in which pay Day three just

1345
01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:56.520
never actually comes back from this or
it requires so much time and effort that

1346
01:27:56.560 --> 01:28:00.000
it was that it will still always
be seen as a blunder by the people

1347
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:01.479
that invested it in the first place. And it's like, yeah, this

1348
01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:04.840
is a tough business to be in
trying to follow up a successful live service

1349
01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:08.479
game, even if it is like
time to move on from that. Pay

1350
01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:11.199
Day two is a relatively older game
now, it's like, well, yeah,

1351
01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:14.079
maybe do a sequel. People love
having a new game to play.

1352
01:28:14.279 --> 01:28:15.560
It's like, well, if you
miss the mark, you can miss it

1353
01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:20.680
so bad that it can undo your
entire company. Like look at Overwatch two.

1354
01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:25.720
Mm hmmm, yep, is that
still not doing well? No?

1355
01:28:25.840 --> 01:28:28.640
I mean it's really it just never
took off at all, and it's crazy.

1356
01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:30.479
The person is just such a worse, worse place than the first game

1357
01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:34.199
ever was. Yeah, aren't they
doing like a cowboy bebop cross? Yeah?

1358
01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:36.840
Yeah, they still have things going
on. Over Watch two is not

1359
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:41.880
dead. Yeah. Remind like,
the first Overwatch is gone, right,

1360
01:28:41.920 --> 01:28:45.079
didn't to replace it or something?
Overwatch two was like, it's basically a

1361
01:28:45.159 --> 01:28:47.079
new It was an update that they
go on over Watch two that replaced Overwatch

1362
01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:50.159
one, But that means that means
meant fundamental changes, like for example,

1363
01:28:50.199 --> 01:28:54.159
it's five on five now instead of
six on five. So it's like that

1364
01:28:54.239 --> 01:28:58.319
game you played as Overwatch one is
basically gone and called Overwatch two now.

1365
01:28:58.600 --> 01:29:00.239
So you can't do what they're doing
with pay Day two and just be like,

1366
01:29:00.279 --> 01:29:03.239
I'm gonna go back to the one
I liked, because that's not there

1367
01:29:03.239 --> 01:29:06.119
anymore, right, that's what I
So if you put the disc in your

1368
01:29:06.159 --> 01:29:11.159
PS four, it just overwrites it
with the it would ask you to update

1369
01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:15.680
it to wow to play Yeah,
and yes it would. It would shred

1370
01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:18.199
the disc and spit it out at
you. Yeah. Wow. I'm sure

1371
01:29:18.199 --> 01:29:21.560
the Overwatch is like probably still making
money, and so I bet, I

1372
01:29:21.560 --> 01:29:25.239
bet it's doing better in paid A
three, that's for sure. But if

1373
01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:30.119
like the the sort of heights of
Overwatch are not even a glint in their

1374
01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:32.560
eye at this point with Overwatch two
like that, it is a much different

1375
01:29:32.600 --> 01:29:35.439
game in terms of the success that's
happening. It's such a bummer and pay

1376
01:29:35.479 --> 01:29:39.439
Day three, I saw a different
side of Mike when we streamed that.

1377
01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:44.319
Oh yeah, where Mike is a
cold blooded bank That was fun. Yeah,

1378
01:29:44.319 --> 01:29:45.680
I enjoyed that. That's probably the
most I played any pay day and

1379
01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:49.079
I like that. Yeah, I
think I think that the again, like

1380
01:29:49.439 --> 01:29:53.520
the basics are there. I think
a lot of people just want I want

1381
01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:56.000
them to be a little bit better, and then they're worried about all of

1382
01:29:56.039 --> 01:29:59.159
these purchases they made over the years, and it's just that stuff's not going

1383
01:29:59.239 --> 01:30:03.720
to come for very long time.
Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen has revealed

1384
01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:09.239
his new studio. It's called Giants
Skull and it's described as a new Triple

1385
01:30:09.279 --> 01:30:14.000
A game studio dedicated to building gameplay
driven story immersed action adventure games, set

1386
01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:17.159
and captivating worlds. The studios based
in Los Angeles, but has remote developers

1387
01:30:17.159 --> 01:30:20.520
from around the world, which is
the way of doing most studios, especially

1388
01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:26.079
once that open in Los Angeles.
They are going to be utilizing Unreal Engine

1389
01:30:26.079 --> 01:30:28.600
five, and that's usually how these
announcements work, Right, We're starting a

1390
01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:30.600
new studio and here are the tools
we're using. So if you're someone who

1391
01:30:30.640 --> 01:30:33.640
wants to make games an unreell Engine
five or have skills in that, we

1392
01:30:33.680 --> 01:30:40.000
are hiring. He also brought in
as CTO John Carr, who was one

1393
01:30:40.000 --> 01:30:44.399
of the technical directors on the Jedi
games before they left Respawn, So a

1394
01:30:44.439 --> 01:30:46.359
lot of people from Respawn coming to
join here. But they also have people

1395
01:30:46.359 --> 01:30:51.560
from games like Fortnite and Valorant and
League of Legends just across the board taking

1396
01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:55.439
on roles there. But I guess
a couple things. It's next to see

1397
01:30:55.439 --> 01:30:58.479
a studio could still get started in
a world where people are worried about dearth

1398
01:30:58.479 --> 01:31:00.399
of investments for these kinds of things. But if you have if you have

1399
01:31:00.439 --> 01:31:03.319
a name, you're probably still gonna
be able to find some money. And

1400
01:31:03.399 --> 01:31:08.920
also this is a sign that hey, key people from Respawn continue to leave

1401
01:31:08.960 --> 01:31:13.960
and start their own thing. Let's
see it. Let's just move right on,

1402
01:31:14.520 --> 01:31:15.840
right along, because this next story
is pretty similar. Empty Vessel is

1403
01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:21.640
a new studio formed by former ID
Naughty Dog in Activision devs Empty Vessel.

1404
01:31:21.720 --> 01:31:26.880
Empty Vessel is a new independent Triple
A studio and has been founded by industry

1405
01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:30.800
veterans aiming to make their market immersive
shooter genres. This is led by CEO

1406
01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:36.439
Emanuel palac Apeleic and COO Garrett Young. The studio boasts a team of extensive

1407
01:31:36.479 --> 01:31:41.560
experience from companies like ID Weight to
Digital or Weta Digital, Wedded Digital,

1408
01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:45.399
Naughty Dog and Gearbox. They aim
to prioritize creativity and innovation, breaking away

1409
01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:50.159
from traditional business models to create Triple
A quality games with smaller focused teams.

1410
01:31:51.279 --> 01:31:56.880
This is another similar example like bringing
in a lot of talent and I'd like

1411
01:31:57.000 --> 01:32:00.000
them mentioning that, hey, we're
gonna use all our teams to make these

1412
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:05.399
bigger games, something I think is
going to be a key initiative from a

1413
01:32:05.439 --> 01:32:09.439
lot of different publishers trying to see
how big of a game you can make

1414
01:32:09.680 --> 01:32:13.079
without getting a team maybe over like
one hundred people, maybe sixty to one

1415
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.520
hundred. And if that's the seize
of a studio or try to start right

1416
01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:17.800
now, you probably also will be
able to find money, especially when you

1417
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:23.039
come from like Naughty Dog or ID. I think the only thing that worries

1418
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:27.279
me grub is with this studio announcement
in the previous one you just mentioned,

1419
01:32:27.560 --> 01:32:31.880
is the messaging of Triple A games. Triple A. Yeah, I don't

1420
01:32:31.880 --> 01:32:36.920
think that's anything more than just like
the qualifier. I just like Triple A

1421
01:32:36.960 --> 01:32:40.840
and it's and it's in its own
right, is just like a genre,

1422
01:32:41.079 --> 01:32:45.399
right, Like it's not Yeah,
it's an indicator of like in the thing,

1423
01:32:45.439 --> 01:32:47.239
we're making a game that couldn't can
be sold for seventy dollars. I

1424
01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:50.159
think that's what they're trying to say. Yeah, and that whatever goes into

1425
01:32:50.159 --> 01:32:55.800
that now, I mean, I
do think that is what the next the

1426
01:32:55.840 --> 01:32:59.399
next several years from game development is
going to be figuring out how to do

1427
01:32:59.439 --> 01:33:00.840
that with a little bit less.
And I think people will be looking to

1428
01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.279
like, hey, Ghost of Sushi
mods, maybe with like a sixty million

1429
01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:06.399
dollar budget, what can we do
something like that? They'll try to mimic

1430
01:33:06.479 --> 01:33:10.279
that stuff. It's also like,
okay, Unreal Engine five is fully here.

1431
01:33:10.800 --> 01:33:13.840
Can we use the tools in there
that promise to make things easier to

1432
01:33:13.920 --> 01:33:16.000
make these big games without having to
break our backs trying to do so?

1433
01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:20.680
And the creative teams that figure out
how to do those kinds of games probably

1434
01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:26.119
will be rewarded by selling a good
number of games and having their budget below

1435
01:33:26.239 --> 01:33:29.039
enough that their profit margins are still
pretty high. So I think this would

1436
01:33:29.039 --> 01:33:31.680
be studios are setting out to do
what was the budget for bawlers Gate three,

1437
01:33:32.000 --> 01:33:33.840
I mean it was I'm sure it
was big, but it's not going

1438
01:33:33.920 --> 01:33:38.159
to be massive massive, right,
because they're a spider man, right,

1439
01:33:38.439 --> 01:33:41.680
it's not three hundred and fifty people, many of whom living are living in

1440
01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:45.319
Los Angeles or something like that.
That's you know, they're living in Central

1441
01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:47.439
Europe, and so they're going to
be more affordable to begin with. And

1442
01:33:47.479 --> 01:33:51.800
then also it's not three hundred and
fifty people, so yeah, it's going

1443
01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:57.840
to be a much smaller budget.
Sony has announced Ghost a Sushi but Director's

1444
01:33:57.840 --> 01:34:01.119
Cut for PC. Sony Interactive and
Entertainment announced a PC version, and it's

1445
01:34:01.159 --> 01:34:05.680
coming May sixteenth, developed by Nixy's. The port is it will bring together

1446
01:34:05.720 --> 01:34:10.000
everything you had from the game previously, so that means the Ekey Island expansion

1447
01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:14.279
as well as that multiplayer Legends mode. I only played a little bit of

1448
01:34:14.279 --> 01:34:16.560
Ghost of Sushima, and I've been
thinking about it a lot recently. I'm

1449
01:34:16.560 --> 01:34:18.600
like, I should go back,
and I'm like, remembering, they're probably

1450
01:34:18.680 --> 01:34:21.479
going to put out a PC version. Here it is. I'm definitely gonna

1451
01:34:21.479 --> 01:34:24.560
hop into this. I'll play a
lot on the Steam deck, but I

1452
01:34:24.600 --> 01:34:27.920
wouldn't mind checking out. This multiplayer
legends thing is something I never ever touched.

1453
01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:30.159
We should do that. On the
side. I've been curious about that

1454
01:34:30.159 --> 01:34:32.159
too, because I heard really good
things heard good things. Yeah, so

1455
01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:36.600
definitely got to check that out.
This of course sets them up to one

1456
01:34:36.680 --> 01:34:40.960
make more money from a game that
that has already been very successful for them,

1457
01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:43.920
and that they they'll love to catch
those checks, of course, but

1458
01:34:44.520 --> 01:34:47.119
this is going to lead into them
doing more with the Ghost series going forward.

1459
01:34:47.479 --> 01:34:50.640
Almost certainly we will have a Ghost
of Sushima two announcement within the next

1460
01:34:50.760 --> 01:34:56.479
year or so, and it'll kind
of use this as a springboard. That

1461
01:34:56.520 --> 01:35:00.439
game was already super pretty uh previously. I can't wait to see that on

1462
01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:04.079
a PC. Yeah, So they
talk about taking advantage of PC folks down,

1463
01:35:04.199 --> 01:35:10.000
including ultra wide. You can have
three monitors all hooked up and have

1464
01:35:10.079 --> 01:35:13.199
the game across all three monitors.
So it's not even like it's not twenty

1465
01:35:13.239 --> 01:35:16.920
one by nine, it's not thirty
two by nine. It's something like forty

1466
01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:21.279
eight by nine or something like that. Something wild. Going back to Rise

1467
01:35:21.319 --> 01:35:24.680
of Ronan, going back to the
game segment, it has a very good

1468
01:35:24.680 --> 01:35:29.199
horse. Horse, good horse,
good horse. It's like almost an elder

1469
01:35:29.279 --> 01:35:32.000
ring horse. Oh okay, I
love good horse in a game. This

1470
01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:38.000
will also spart like DLSS three and
AMDFSR three and all the recent technologies,

1471
01:35:38.039 --> 01:35:42.880
and yeah, I'm looking forward to
checking this out. Final Fantasy sixteen,

1472
01:35:43.000 --> 01:35:45.079
meanwhile, is going to head to
PC, but probably sometime in the next

1473
01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:50.399
year. Squerens providing an update,
and producer Nioki Yoshida revealed that while development

1474
01:35:50.439 --> 01:35:56.479
is progressing smoothly, they're working on
optimizations. Nioki Yoshida said something along the

1475
01:35:56.479 --> 01:36:00.560
lines of it will we'll have a
demo within the next twelve months, but

1476
01:36:00.600 --> 01:36:03.880
I wouldn't be surprised with this game's
out by this holiday for PC. That

1477
01:36:04.479 --> 01:36:08.119
makes a lot of sense. They
probably will try to get that done.

1478
01:36:08.800 --> 01:36:13.800
The game did have a small little
exclusivity window on PS five. It could

1479
01:36:13.840 --> 01:36:16.359
have shown up on PC by now, but they mentioned at the time of

1480
01:36:16.479 --> 01:36:19.800
releasing the PS five version that they
were just focused on that version to make

1481
01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:23.960
that as best as it possibly could
be. And now here we are a

1482
01:36:24.000 --> 01:36:27.840
little bit later and like they're getting
the PC version ready and about a year

1483
01:36:27.960 --> 01:36:30.680
year and a half from release.
That does put it in the holiday window

1484
01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:32.560
for this year, so if people
are interested in checking that out, that

1485
01:36:32.680 --> 01:36:38.840
seems like the likely released window for
it. I desperately need to mod in

1486
01:36:39.199 --> 01:36:43.960
Tifa as Clive, but it's still
that Star oh yeah, of course.

1487
01:36:44.039 --> 01:36:46.359
Yeah, he's got a great TIFA. Yeah. I think that's one of

1488
01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:49.000
the things where I'm like, hey, huh, I enjoyed my time with

1489
01:36:49.039 --> 01:36:51.560
that game, but thinking about what
you could do with mods, maybe that

1490
01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:55.439
could make that game even more interesting
for me, and I would see it

1491
01:36:55.479 --> 01:37:00.159
through at that point, who knows. Finally, we got multi Versus re

1492
01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:04.640
emerging in May, and multi Versus
is that platform fighting game like Smash Brothers

1493
01:37:04.680 --> 01:37:10.920
from WB featuring all their characters.
It was in early access previously, and

1494
01:37:11.039 --> 01:37:15.239
they were selling characters and doing a
whole first season, and the game was

1495
01:37:15.399 --> 01:37:17.399
very successful out of the gate,
had more than one hundred thousand concurrent players

1496
01:37:17.439 --> 01:37:21.199
at one point, actually significantly more
than that, and then it sort of

1497
01:37:21.359 --> 01:37:26.560
faded away pretty quickly and it dropped
down to fewer than a thousand concurrent players

1498
01:37:26.560 --> 01:37:30.760
on Steam, and they announced out
of nowhere that the game was ending its

1499
01:37:30.920 --> 01:37:33.840
early access season and it would go
away and they would bring it back at

1500
01:37:33.840 --> 01:37:39.159
some point. Well now, more
than a year later, I believe it's

1501
01:37:39.159 --> 01:37:42.920
here. May twenty eighth. It
will re release and it will still be

1502
01:37:42.920 --> 01:37:45.399
free to play, but they're gonna
give it a second chance to see if

1503
01:37:45.439 --> 01:37:48.279
it can catch on. I'm glad
that it didn't like just disappear forever.

1504
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:51.640
I'm glad it's getting the second chance. I also don't personally care. That's

1505
01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:54.760
where I'm at with multiverses. I
don't know if you got it. I

1506
01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:57.720
mean, I know, Dan,
you love playing this Lebron James in any

1507
01:37:57.720 --> 01:38:00.880
game you can, so I was
trying to pure out if this was the

1508
01:38:00.159 --> 01:38:04.159
Iron Galaxy one or not. But
there was a different one that had Versus

1509
01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:09.720
and is it Rumble Verse. Rumble
Verse which Rumble that died and stayed dead?

1510
01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:12.279
Right, Yes, that died and
stayed dead in a because of the

1511
01:38:12.319 --> 01:38:15.079
world is unjust. That is a
good game though. That was so good.

1512
01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:16.399
Yeah, I remember that was the
one where you could do a stunner

1513
01:38:16.439 --> 01:38:19.600
and it was three sixteen damage.
Yeah, that's yeah. And then the

1514
01:38:19.600 --> 01:38:23.840
movement was like Hule Cultimate destruction.
Yes, yes, that's right. You

1515
01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:27.960
could do an awesome elbow drop off
a building and yes, it was very

1516
01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:30.960
cool and it just well, I
think the biggest thing is it wasn't on

1517
01:38:30.000 --> 01:38:32.680
Steam, you know, it was
exclusive Epic on PC. I think that

1518
01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:36.159
hurt it the most. Yeah,
but I have no interest in multiverses.

1519
01:38:36.319 --> 01:38:41.760
Also, I don't understand what the
fuck Warner Brothers doing with anything. Yeah,

1520
01:38:41.840 --> 01:38:45.720
what's what that? They got a
Wiley Coyote movie with Will Forte and

1521
01:38:45.800 --> 01:38:47.560
John Cena and it's supposed to be
funny and they're just not putting it out.

1522
01:38:47.920 --> 01:38:50.880
Yeah. And you know why specifically
they're not putting out because they got

1523
01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:54.560
offered money to put it out and
it was a good amount of money,

1524
01:38:54.640 --> 01:38:57.720
and they Everyone's like, why won't
you accept that? And it was the

1525
01:38:57.920 --> 01:39:01.359
reporting came out that they were They're
word they would sell the movie and make

1526
01:39:01.439 --> 01:39:03.920
money, make a profit on it, but then the company they sold it

1527
01:39:03.960 --> 01:39:08.000
to would put it out in theaters
and make even more money, and it

1528
01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:12.119
would be embarrassing for them. That
sucks. They should put that movie out.

1529
01:39:12.199 --> 01:39:16.039
I want to see That sucks.
That's not even like the first instance

1530
01:39:16.039 --> 01:39:18.600
of them like withholding a movie,
right, wasn't. No, They've done

1531
01:39:19.319 --> 01:39:25.039
girl that woman. Yeah, he's
like finished filming and everything and is never

1532
01:39:25.079 --> 01:39:27.880
going to see the light of day. These movies are finished. Is that

1533
01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:34.239
David Zaslav's fault? Yes, David. Are they just bad people? Yes,

1534
01:39:34.840 --> 01:39:40.600
they seem stupid. They're stupid and
bad, petulant in in a way

1535
01:39:40.640 --> 01:39:44.760
that I cannot understand. Oh my
god, well you got to you got

1536
01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:48.199
like these are also the geniuses that
renamed HBO. Go to Max the one

1537
01:39:48.239 --> 01:39:53.920
to watch for HBO, Where to
watch HBO is Max. Yeah, just

1538
01:39:54.479 --> 01:40:00.520
smart people. The idea like oh
god, like as if as if,

1539
01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:10.319
Like the embarrassment of another studio distributor
doing well is like embarrassing, but the

1540
01:40:10.399 --> 01:40:14.800
story about them wanting to do that
is not as embarrassing, Like I don't

1541
01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:18.840
yep, what's happening here? Idiots, They're just it's baffling stuff. I

1542
01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:23.159
mean, this is a loophole in
the taxes they're trying to take advantage of

1543
01:40:23.159 --> 01:40:25.239
where they're going to be able to
write off all this stuff on taxes,

1544
01:40:25.279 --> 01:40:28.920
so that will save them a handful
of a couple of million dollars, not

1545
01:40:29.000 --> 01:40:32.199
as much money as they would make
from selling the movie though, which again

1546
01:40:32.239 --> 01:40:36.079
they had multiple offers for around thirty
million dollars. Thirty million dollars, But

1547
01:40:38.680 --> 01:40:42.960
yeah, it is. It's baffling
and frustrating and it's a really dark period

1548
01:40:43.039 --> 01:40:45.000
for this. They need to change
that tax loophole though, where it's like

1549
01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:49.039
if you do this the movie it
doesn't not come out, it just becomes

1550
01:40:49.039 --> 01:40:53.760
public domain or something like that.
It's insane, like the like the movie

1551
01:40:53.760 --> 01:40:57.319
has the clear waivers. Yeah,
clear waivers. That's a great rule.

1552
01:40:57.399 --> 01:41:02.600
They really should do that. Yeah, that would be super sick. Am

1553
01:41:02.640 --> 01:41:06.279
I going to get Dune three?
Is Warner Brothers gonna fuck up the bag?

1554
01:41:06.319 --> 01:41:10.039
And I'm not gonna get Dune three? Sam. You want to say,

1555
01:41:10.039 --> 01:41:12.640
like, well, Dune two made
a lot more money than Dune one,

1556
01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:15.520
so you should be good. But
who knows. God, they're so

1557
01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:21.880
stupid paid so much. Your asset
must clear waivers. Yeah, I like

1558
01:41:21.960 --> 01:41:26.680
that a lot. All right,
that does it for the news. I'm

1559
01:41:26.680 --> 01:41:30.159
handing the show back over to you. Jan God, I just Lebron James.

1560
01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:36.199
Do people like that game though?
Like the Smash community, Uh,

1561
01:41:36.640 --> 01:41:42.119
there was some fondness for it at
the time. I think most the mostly

1562
01:41:42.159 --> 01:41:44.880
the Smash community was like, yeah, you guys did a good job.

1563
01:41:44.880 --> 01:41:47.119
We're going back to Smash. I
think they're mainly on PlayStation All Stars Battle

1564
01:41:47.199 --> 01:41:49.439
Royale right now. Yeah, that's
where that's where the bulk of the players

1565
01:41:49.439 --> 01:41:53.640
are of course. Yeah yeah,
I mean you want to do dirty hotel

1566
01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:58.000
cash games, it's only in PlayStation
all Stars. Yeah. Yeah, Like

1567
01:41:59.119 --> 01:42:02.520
with w W be like universe that
they're pulling from they had, Like do

1568
01:42:02.600 --> 01:42:05.800
they have like Bugs Bunny in there
or Marvin and Marsh and stuff like that.

1569
01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:10.600
I don't know what character they're holding
back that they could announce to get

1570
01:42:10.600 --> 01:42:14.039
people so excited, like they have
the Joker in there and stuff. It's

1571
01:42:14.159 --> 01:42:17.079
just not the same thing as when
Nintendo's about to announce a character and people

1572
01:42:17.159 --> 01:42:20.720
are losing their mind about who's going
to be in Smash Next, like legit

1573
01:42:20.840 --> 01:42:25.720
like going insane trying to figure out
who could be. W B just doesn't

1574
01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:29.119
have that. So and that's a
huge part of getting an excitement around these

1575
01:42:29.159 --> 01:42:32.760
games, if you know, it's
like it's like an Also Ran platform fighter.

1576
01:42:33.560 --> 01:42:35.920
If that's not drawing people in,
Yeah, they don't have what it

1577
01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:40.760
takes to kind of make this thing
keep going. There is the Terminator in

1578
01:42:41.000 --> 01:42:46.399
Multi Versus? Is the Terminator or
Warner? I just see Terminator franchise under

1579
01:42:46.479 --> 01:42:51.640
the Brothers franchise wiki. Yeah I
don't. I don't remember he's in Mortal

1580
01:42:51.680 --> 01:42:55.279
Kombat. Yeah, sure, Okay, did they put Orange Cassidy in there?

1581
01:42:55.680 --> 01:43:00.880
Oh? Could they put Little Nikki
in there? Okay? Well,

1582
01:43:00.880 --> 01:43:02.600
if they put a little nicky in
there. I'm showing up. Oh could

1583
01:43:02.640 --> 01:43:11.439
they put perhaps Austin Powers in there? Yeah? Yeah, Zaslov get me

1584
01:43:11.479 --> 01:43:15.439
on the phone, baby, I'll
turn your company around. Well, that

1585
01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:17.159
does it for the news. We're
gonna take another quick break and break and

1586
01:43:17.159 --> 01:43:29.000
we'll be back with some e mail. When Jeff Backler pulled out that fancy

1587
01:43:29.119 --> 01:43:32.319
glass in the beginning of the pod, I'll remember that if we all stroll

1588
01:43:32.359 --> 01:43:35.680
down every lane specific shape. I
was thinking like, oh, that's a

1589
01:43:35.800 --> 01:43:41.359
fancy glass, and for some reason
I couldn't get it out of my head.

1590
01:43:41.439 --> 01:43:45.920
It's not a sphincter glass, right, No, that's what it is.

1591
01:43:48.239 --> 01:43:58.800
Okay, sphink the's something very different
emails. Okay, quite, the

1592
01:43:58.840 --> 01:44:03.720
sphincter is not just butthole though,
just work clear spin can do sphincter glass.

1593
01:44:03.720 --> 01:44:10.960
Dot com go somewhere if you could
remember what dude, tubes is,

1594
01:44:11.000 --> 01:44:13.920
because you tubes does go to giant
bomb if you remember what that is.

1595
01:44:15.680 --> 01:44:23.359
Yeah, me, neither, do
not remember where they from. Why Why

1596
01:44:23.399 --> 01:44:29.000
do I constantly discover new U r
L forwarding like we got good We've got

1597
01:44:29.000 --> 01:44:32.119
some good ones here. Tubes is
amazing. Do tubes dot com is great.

1598
01:44:32.119 --> 01:44:36.560
That's what I'm going this cone no
memory. Can we see like next

1599
01:44:36.600 --> 01:44:40.880
time we're we're gonna all be in
person for like packs East. We should

1600
01:44:40.880 --> 01:44:44.880
do uh some like those of those
trick shots. We should just try and

1601
01:44:44.880 --> 01:44:47.319
do that for a while. Oh
yeah, oh my god, I would

1602
01:44:47.359 --> 01:44:53.520
love that. Play horse. Yeah, you know where you ricochet like the

1603
01:44:53.560 --> 01:44:59.640
ping pong balls off a bunch of
tubes. Yeah, I would love that.

1604
01:44:59.760 --> 01:45:03.039
Yeah. And then you and Dan
need to have to constantly wear backwards

1605
01:45:03.039 --> 01:45:06.960
hats and just go yeah youtubes,
there you go, there you go,

1606

Dan, Yes we are. Yes,

1609
01:45:29.720 --> 01:45:32.880
Yes, I'm going to someplace very
exciting with you. Yes, yes,

1610
01:45:32.960 --> 01:45:39.479
yes, I can't wait to perhaps
see a big ringing object. All right,

1611
01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:43.640
first email, I don't I'm pretty
sure we talked about this on some

1612
01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:48.000
giant pomp property. Uh. First
email is about Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson.

1613
01:45:48.439 --> 01:45:54.079
We get my dad. It does
have stipulations its way, what are

1614
01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:57.800
they? It's probably no headshots I
mean, I know some of them.

1615
01:45:58.880 --> 01:46:00.039
Is this that? What what the
emails about? Is the email about something

1616
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:03.600
different? No? It is real
quick. So they are going to fight

1617
01:46:03.760 --> 01:46:08.720
streaming live on Netflix. Can we
get a talk over all that aside?

1618
01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:11.760
Mike Tyson has this right? I
mean, he is a monster in the

1619
01:46:11.800 --> 01:46:15.479
boxing ring. I don't know.
Okay, okay, so you don't know

1620
01:46:15.479 --> 01:46:19.479
the stipulations they are insane. So
okay, First of all, Jake Paul

1621
01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:25.079
gets to wear a head gear.
That seems pretty fair. Then he gets

1622
01:46:25.119 --> 01:46:28.560
what but Mike Tyson is not allowed
to wear headgear? Okay, you know

1623
01:46:28.640 --> 01:46:31.399
nothing, Mike Tyxon. Wait Mike
Tyson? Are they wearing gloves? Yeah?

1624
01:46:31.640 --> 01:46:35.159
I just don't understand why he gets
to wear head Okay, just hold

1625
01:46:35.159 --> 01:46:40.079
on, Okay, Mike Tyson has
to be drug tested. Jake Paul does

1626
01:46:40.119 --> 01:46:45.039
not. It does not get drug
tested. Is supremely weird. That's let's

1627
01:46:45.119 --> 01:46:50.560
keep going there. The wigh in
is one sixty five, wighe Jake Paul

1628
01:46:50.600 --> 01:46:57.399
doesn't has to be under one hundred
five. Look, he's sure, but

1629
01:46:57.439 --> 01:47:01.079
he's a tank. Like what does
his way to a Traditionally I would I

1630
01:47:01.079 --> 01:47:03.560
will double check. I'll double check
that one. But either way, he's

1631
01:47:03.600 --> 01:47:08.119
got to be weighed at a certain
set, like a certain wet level,

1632
01:47:08.239 --> 01:47:10.439
and Jake Paul does not have to
do the way in so he'd be as

1633
01:47:10.479 --> 01:47:15.439
heavy as he wants. Sucks.
Okay, at any time, Logan Paul

1634
01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:18.920
can come in and fight at the
same time as Jake Paul. Okay,

1635
01:47:19.840 --> 01:47:25.239
this is the work. Not even
makes me so mad. You can fucking

1636
01:47:25.439 --> 01:47:29.279
handicapped tornado tag this thing and it's
not. And it's like they don't they

1637
01:47:29.279 --> 01:47:31.560
can both fight at the same time. Now Jake Paul apparently it's like I'm

1638
01:47:31.600 --> 01:47:35.319
gonna try to win this on my
own, but he can do this like

1639
01:47:35.359 --> 01:47:38.520
it is part you know, it
is kind of cool, is that Mike

1640
01:47:38.600 --> 01:47:45.640
Tyson could It's possible Mike Tyson could
take out both Paul brothers. And this

1641
01:47:45.680 --> 01:47:49.560
sounds like a word suck. Yeah. I from the beginning, I was

1642
01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:53.359
like, there's no way that,
like Jake Paul is going to go full

1643
01:47:53.479 --> 01:47:58.159
like like even keel on this.
But it's worse than I even imagine was.

1644
01:47:58.239 --> 01:48:02.760
Jake Paul is a young athlete and
actual boxer. Mike Tyson's like sixty,

1645
01:48:02.960 --> 01:48:06.479
I mean, he's terrifying, but
see like fifty seven or sixty.

1646
01:48:06.600 --> 01:48:11.600
He's probably fifty eight when he was
in his prime, so maybe right younger

1647
01:48:11.600 --> 01:48:14.760
than I just don't understand. Like
the they basically said, okay, we

1648
01:48:14.840 --> 01:48:17.880
just have to nerf Mike Tyson.
Yes, I mean he is Mike Tyson.

1649
01:48:18.159 --> 01:48:24.680
I understand that, but they are
literally half his age, and I

1650
01:48:24.760 --> 01:48:28.800
don't. I don't know. I
feel like this is I mean, look

1651
01:48:28.840 --> 01:48:32.079
sixty is sixty? I don't know. So I I was on it when

1652
01:48:32.119 --> 01:48:35.199
I thought this was just going to
be an exhibition match. I thought,

1653
01:48:35.239 --> 01:48:39.720
like, maybe Jake has it because
he's actively conditioning, and then I saw

1654
01:48:39.760 --> 01:48:43.319
a video of Mike Tyson training for
this fight. That guy's a monster.

1655
01:48:43.479 --> 01:48:45.960
Jake Paul might die. All right, look, I'm back in. I

1656
01:48:45.960 --> 01:48:50.159
mean, Jake Paul does say he's
like these even if these rules exist,

1657
01:48:50.199 --> 01:48:53.720
he says he's not gonna wear a
headgear, so maybe, I mean,

1658
01:48:53.760 --> 01:49:00.560
we'll see, okay, because like
Mike Tyson's trainer got gassed very very fast

1659
01:49:00.680 --> 01:49:03.760
trying to keep up with Mike Tyson, and like I think one of the

1660
01:49:03.800 --> 01:49:09.039
shots almost whiffed and like hit the
trainer in the head, and the trainers

1661
01:49:09.039 --> 01:49:14.399
wearing head gear, and oh god, imagine I gotta say, like who's

1662
01:49:14.520 --> 01:49:19.399
who's who's responsible for this? Like
like who invented this? Like who's I

1663
01:49:19.399 --> 01:49:21.520
mean, people who want to make
money and get a lot of people,

1664
01:49:23.199 --> 01:49:25.319
They're gonna make a lot of money. I just gotta say, like it

1665
01:49:25.399 --> 01:49:30.520
really is as gross as it is, it's also kind of amazing. Yeah,

1666
01:49:30.640 --> 01:49:32.920
you know what what is insane?
I like on the side, like,

1667
01:49:33.199 --> 01:49:35.279
uh, you know, I told
you all, I'm kind of looking

1668
01:49:35.319 --> 01:49:39.199
for a sitcom to just have on
in the background. Instead, I've put

1669
01:49:39.239 --> 01:49:45.119
on Top Chef And then there's just
a random episode of Top Chef where young

1670
01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:49.119
Logan Paul is like the guest judge
for like one of the cooking segments,

1671
01:49:49.960 --> 01:49:56.640
and it's like here's like all these
esteemed James Beard Award winning chefs and then

1672
01:49:56.920 --> 01:50:01.640
Logan Paul and what the fuck.
It's also amazing because it's like Netflix,

1673
01:50:01.800 --> 01:50:05.319
you know, the last couple of
years has just been making Garbo TV just

1674
01:50:05.359 --> 01:50:12.840
like the worst bottom of the barrel
dog shit. You you heard what I

1675
01:50:12.880 --> 01:50:15.239
said. They're shooting that all around
the city here right now. There are

1676
01:50:15.239 --> 01:50:18.479
in Minneapolis. Well yeah, and
I just you know, obviously a couple

1677
01:50:18.880 --> 01:50:24.479
a couple of diamonds in the rough, but like really bad content. And

1678
01:50:24.520 --> 01:50:29.079
now you know what they're doing wrestling
too, right Netflix? Oh yeah,

1679
01:50:29.119 --> 01:50:31.600
next? Oh yeah, big money. So they're just you know, they're

1680
01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:38.319
they're course correcting live programming. I'm
looking at this footage of Tyson training.

1681
01:50:38.520 --> 01:50:41.680
Uh. He seems to be in
very good shape and also leaner than I'm

1682
01:50:41.720 --> 01:50:44.560
used to seeing him, so I
could see him cutting down a little bit

1683
01:50:44.600 --> 01:50:48.239
here. He is very fast still
yeh. Hearing that, I'm so happy

1684
01:50:48.920 --> 01:50:56.319
any of us. Oh yeah again, Yeah, you'd take four of us

1685
01:50:56.359 --> 01:51:00.359
and then, like Mike would just
walk away. Potent to be very very

1686
01:51:00.399 --> 01:51:03.159
funny if they just let it be, just let it be very funny,

1687
01:51:03.159 --> 01:51:06.880
They're both gonna be even richard than
they already are. Just let one of

1688
01:51:06.920 --> 01:51:12.560
them get rattled real fucking bad.
God, it's gonna be let Jake Ball

1689
01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:15.960
get rattled real fun just like punched
them both in the face at the same

1690
01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:17.920
time and won and that was it, And it was like a four second

1691
01:51:18.159 --> 01:51:23.279
I would be so sick. I
put like fifty dollars in my uh and

1692
01:51:23.479 --> 01:51:27.000
on DraftKings for the Super for the
Super actually for the Lions game before that,

1693
01:51:27.039 --> 01:51:29.000
and I still have a few bucks
left in there. I'm like,

1694
01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:30.600
I'm gonna save it and bet on
this. I'm gonna bet on my no

1695
01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:34.319
matter what. But like it's so
crazy because like can you even gamble on

1696
01:51:34.359 --> 01:51:38.840
it? Because it's like, well
weird. You can gamble on fucking WWE

1697
01:51:39.000 --> 01:51:43.239
backler you can definitely get Yes,
you can count. You can't gamble real

1698
01:51:43.279 --> 01:51:45.800
money? Right or can't? Yes? You super can? You can?

1699
01:51:45.000 --> 01:51:48.159
Wow? Yes, supercan. Because
in the last minutes before pap per Use,

1700
01:51:48.239 --> 01:51:51.680
suddenly you'll see like the betting odds
shipped wildly where it's like whoa,

1701
01:51:51.760 --> 01:51:56.439
right before Wrestlmingia thirty, why did
everyone start betting on brock Lesnar. That's

1702
01:51:56.479 --> 01:51:59.840
weird. It's like because insiders start
coming into Okay, yeah betting, I've

1703
01:51:59.840 --> 01:52:01.439
been Yeah, that's the thing.
I bet there's a cap and I also

1704
01:52:01.560 --> 01:52:04.800
bet they like you know, I
think they still reserve the right to kind

1705
01:52:04.800 --> 01:52:10.319
of like undo stuff. Yeah,
So I'm gonna I'm gonna no matter what,

1706
01:52:10.359 --> 01:52:15.319
I'm gonna bet. I'm Mike Tyson. Yeah right, Like who's who

1707
01:52:15.359 --> 01:52:18.439
wouldn't want to root for Mike Tyson? And is there any other sport that

1708
01:52:18.479 --> 01:52:23.479
has just been bastardized and boxing in
like the last couple of years, A

1709
01:52:23.600 --> 01:52:27.399
high a lie isn't what it used
to be, right, traditional highlight.

1710
01:52:28.079 --> 01:52:30.479
It's disappointing in the UFC, like
way worse than it used to be.

1711
01:52:31.600 --> 01:52:34.840
I don't. I didn't never hear
about it anymore. I don't. I

1712
01:52:34.880 --> 01:52:39.399
did just watch the first three UFCS
thanks to Deadlock, and uh boy,

1713
01:52:39.479 --> 01:52:43.920
those early UFCS were fucking something.
They were just some weirdo dudes. But

1714
01:52:44.119 --> 01:52:45.960
you know, luck through the seven
foot tall pat guy against this weird little

1715
01:52:46.039 --> 01:52:49.079
judo dude like it was. I
mean, the idea really was like,

1716
01:52:49.159 --> 01:52:53.239
let's do the kuma te right,
Let's just do Kumata from blood Sport.

1717
01:52:53.319 --> 01:52:57.279
And I'm like, yeah, I
like that idea. Yeah yeah, but

1718
01:52:57.359 --> 01:53:02.439
didn't last too beautiful this world.
M uh yeah, No. I was

1719
01:53:02.439 --> 01:53:05.520
just gonna say, like, I
I know what I'm gonna say about to

1720
01:53:05.520 --> 01:53:09.239
say is like going to be confusing
to people, but like, I just

1721
01:53:09.279 --> 01:53:14.840
don't like, I don't like this
stuff. I don't. There's something that

1722
01:53:14.920 --> 01:53:17.520
upsets me about boxing also, just
like traditional boxing, I don't like.

1723
01:53:17.880 --> 01:53:21.720
I don't like fighting, right,
and I know hockey has fighting and I

1724
01:53:21.760 --> 01:53:26.600
hate fighting in hockey. I do. I'm like in a very very very

1725
01:53:26.720 --> 01:53:30.000
very small minority of people who does
not like fighting in hockey. But I

1726
01:53:30.079 --> 01:53:32.880
don't know, it upsets me.
What is that? Explain that to me.

1727
01:53:33.159 --> 01:53:35.680
Maybe I should see people get hurt. It's pretty normal. Yeah,

1728
01:53:35.720 --> 01:53:41.920
yeah, yeah, I and I
don't like especially for like entertainment. Yeah.

1729
01:53:42.000 --> 01:53:43.520
Sure, a lot of people feel
that way. I don't know.

1730
01:53:43.720 --> 01:53:45.880
That's not too strange. It's upsetting. It's very like boxing. They sign

1731
01:53:45.960 --> 01:53:49.640
up like it's that's what they're doing, that's they're just but I don't think

1732
01:53:49.720 --> 01:53:54.760
that's TikTok. Put some Mike Tyson
stuff in front of me. I'm like,

1733
01:53:54.760 --> 01:53:57.359
man, Mike Tyson is cool.
And then they do the slow emotion

1734
01:53:57.479 --> 01:54:00.319
of like, nay, he that
that guy and the skull so hard.

1735
01:54:01.159 --> 01:54:05.680
I don't think there is impossibly he
didn't instantly get CTE. And then I'm

1736
01:54:05.680 --> 01:54:09.640
like, then that that upsets me
now thinking about how like we know the

1737
01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:13.680
science on that stuff way better than
we did twenty years in that one slow

1738
01:54:13.760 --> 01:54:16.640
mo punch of the guy's got the
big hair and he hits him so squarely

1739
01:54:16.680 --> 01:54:19.960
and so directly in the face that
like his head and skull are going back

1740
01:54:20.000 --> 01:54:26.239
before his hair. Realized that like, it's fucking incredible. It's like all

1741
01:54:26.399 --> 01:54:30.079
tyson k things and he came out
to just the sounds of chains rattling,

1742
01:54:30.560 --> 01:54:35.239
just terrifying shit. Prime Tyson is
There's never been more terrifying human being ever,

1743
01:54:35.399 --> 01:54:41.319
Yeph God as someone that like really
really really liked boxing for a really

1744
01:54:41.399 --> 01:54:45.479
long time. You Filippino bums me
out, Yeah, but fuck my name

1745
01:54:45.560 --> 01:54:50.520
pac fight him in the streets.
If anyone wants to see a fun boxer,

1746
01:54:50.880 --> 01:54:56.079
go on TikTok, Instagram, whatever. Look up Ben Ben Whittaker.

1747
01:54:56.439 --> 01:55:01.279
He has a giant one piece tattoo
on his back. This guy fucking pisses

1748
01:55:01.319 --> 01:55:05.680
off so many people the way he
boxes. Because if you all remember Prince

1749
01:55:06.279 --> 01:55:12.520
Nam Nazim from like the nineties,
he was like a really like loose boxer

1750
01:55:12.560 --> 01:55:15.880
that like wasn't really orthodox or whatever. This guy's amazing. It's so good.

1751
01:55:15.960 --> 01:55:19.199
Go look up a clip. Very
fun. Uh. Next email,

1752
01:55:19.479 --> 01:55:21.920
I'm gonna ask el to not look

01:57:45.079 --> 01:57:48.399

Dan are correct, because it because
it is Taylor and Weed. All right.

01:58:04.439 --> 01:58:09.319
I forgot that's in play. Taylor's
lighting up in the background with the

1781
01:58:09.399 --> 01:58:15.720
Kelsey brothers. Uh sparks fly.
That sounds like a song Taylor Swift.

Wow, I'll go I'll go with
Weed. Dan is correct again, Taylor

01:58:40.640 --> 01:58:45.960
like wow. It is indeed a

01:59:04.560 --> 01:59:12.600
Kid, Taylor Swift, Yeah,
Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift. It is

1791
01:59:12.920 --> 01:59:15.720
actually a World of Warcraft spell.
Oh, what the fuck? That's a

1792
01:59:15.760 --> 01:59:20.079
weird game. That's a that's weird. And last one, gentlemen, you're

1793
01:59:20.079 --> 01:59:29.359
on your own kid Weed Taylor Swift. All three, that'd be a really

01:59:29.359 --> 01:59:33.079
good one. Uh it is a
Taylor Swift song. Yeah, Dan,

1795
01:59:33.159 --> 01:59:36.880
I think collectively you might have won
this quiz. Yeah, you edged it

1796
01:59:36.880 --> 01:59:40.720
out there at the end. I
think he did there shouts out to the

1797
01:59:40.720 --> 01:59:44.600
Swifties. Thank you, Alice for
a fun quiz. What a strange thing,

1798
01:59:45.520 --> 01:59:49.640
all right, h Next email,
let's just skip a couple of these

1799
01:59:49.720 --> 01:59:53.880
once again. BombCast giant bomb dot
com is the email addressed to send your

1800
01:59:53.920 --> 01:59:57.800
emails too. I read everything,
I read everything, I print it out

1801
01:59:57.800 --> 02:00:00.199
sometimes and then I just stare at
it on my fridge. This one comes

1802
02:00:00.279 --> 02:00:04.920
from Jeff from Quebec. Hello,
Jeff's and jeff adjacent peeple. Last Thursday

1803
02:00:04.920 --> 02:00:09.600
on johnbomb dot com, we had
the pleasure to see the new Princess Peach

1804
02:00:09.640 --> 02:00:15.520
demo, including Nintendo's fantastic new theat
Loving narrative arc. Peach and her lovely

1805
02:00:15.600 --> 02:00:20.239
feat are here to save the world, with the player help helping by glazing

1806
02:00:20.520 --> 02:00:26.880
all over whenever required. I've already
started a THEAT pickfolder, and I'm sure

1807
02:00:26.920 --> 02:00:31.039
fandom will do its part with a
new wiki THEAT page. I even managed

1808
02:00:31.079 --> 02:00:35.399
to establish that Peach is about six
feet tall. I'm really eager to see

1809
02:00:35.479 --> 02:00:41.880
the eventual Nintendo sanctioned Arms crossover episode
and all the fanfic that might appear with

1810
02:00:42.319 --> 02:00:46.840
Peach, Peach and theat Uh.
My question is what are some impossibly brilliant

1811
02:00:46.880 --> 02:00:51.640
names for creatures in video games?
Bug Snacks immediately comes to mind, Stay

1812
02:00:51.680 --> 02:00:56.279
on her Feet, Jeff from Quebec. I think Jeff from Quebec might be

1813
02:00:56.319 --> 02:01:02.920
a pen name, but who No, oh huh weird Mike is obsessed with

1814
02:01:03.319 --> 02:01:11.079
Yeah, why do you think this? Hmmm? Good names for Yeah,

1815
02:01:11.079 --> 02:01:15.079
I've always said Albatas and Mario two
and Albatross. The tosses bombs. Albatas

1816
02:01:15.119 --> 02:01:19.439
is great, Yes, that's great. The brutals is that's like a multiple

1817
02:01:19.600 --> 02:01:24.359
entendre. It's you know, they
are a brood of rabbits. They are

1818
02:01:24.439 --> 02:01:27.920
brutal to you. It's the brutal
party like a bridal party. It's a

1819
02:01:27.960 --> 02:01:31.560
triple at the very least, and
that's always impressive to me. Stirling stew

1820
02:01:32.920 --> 02:01:36.399
charge and Chuck charging. Chuck is
the one that comes to mind frequently,

1821
02:01:36.600 --> 02:01:40.399
the whole the whole cast of characters
in Super Mario World at the end,

1822
02:01:40.399 --> 02:01:43.640
when they showed all the names,
that's their name. That's great. Torpedo

1823
02:01:43.800 --> 02:01:49.960
Ted bonds, Yes, yes,
absolutely all right. Next email comes from

1824
02:01:50.119 --> 02:01:57.399
Aaron. Aaron writes in and says
grub is one hundred percent major Magic's was

1825
02:01:57.439 --> 02:02:00.359
the ship climbing up the Walrus tube
to take take your place within the tower,

1826
02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:03.319
to rule over all the adults below, who had no chance of getting

1827
02:02:03.359 --> 02:02:06.319
you out when it was time to
go home, was an experience above all

1828
02:02:06.359 --> 02:02:10.520
else. I about died when he
brought this up on the dump truck.

1829
02:02:10.680 --> 02:02:15.600
Aaron from Acomb County, Michigan,
name twenty four miles shout outs to the

1830
02:02:15.600 --> 02:02:18.760
old stopping grounds. That's that's that's
literally the town I grew up in,

1831
02:02:18.880 --> 02:02:24.319
a comb township. Awesome. I
love that. I love that. Yeah,

1832
02:02:24.359 --> 02:02:28.279
that that saga was a nightmare.
I continued to look it up afterwards.

1833
02:02:28.960 --> 02:02:31.079
The Lady Fox is actually sticking with
me in a way that I didn't

1834
02:02:31.119 --> 02:02:34.239
originally. Now I'm like, oh
boy, okay, that's something else.

1835
02:02:34.439 --> 02:02:39.000
I don't know if it's still available
on eBay, but you can buy some

1836
02:02:39.159 --> 02:02:45.840
Chuck E Cheese animatronics. I would
like an animatronic that I want to like

1837
02:02:45.960 --> 02:02:50.239
house band of Animatronics. Yeah,
exactly, that's what. But it's just

1838
02:02:50.359 --> 02:02:58.319
like robot. Yeah. Yeah.
We could buy a Chuck E Cheese foot

1839
02:02:58.640 --> 02:03:03.880
for two hundred dollars, some eyes, a set of three eyes for eight

1840
02:03:04.920 --> 02:03:10.239
No, we could have remote control
parts with them, so I could control

1841
02:03:10.279 --> 02:03:15.279
the eyes remotely. There's there's like
a bunch of vague electronics going on here.

1842
02:03:15.439 --> 02:03:20.319
Someone is it is the same seller
selling chop shopping a Chuck E Cheese

1843
02:03:20.359 --> 02:03:27.720
animatronic because they are selling each individual
part of this fucking monthy part of the

1844
02:03:27.800 --> 02:03:30.840
Chuck E Cheese. Yeah, exactly. Give back what you take from the

1845
02:03:30.880 --> 02:03:39.199
world, all right. Two more
emails. This email comes from Vaughn from

1846
02:03:39.279 --> 02:03:43.840
Northern Ireland, high Bomb Digities.
It's been well established what a triple A

1847
02:03:43.920 --> 02:03:47.000
game is. CEOs are making claims
about quadruple A games, and Giant Bomb

1848
02:03:47.000 --> 02:03:51.039
has personally documented a number of B
games. But I have no idea.

1849
02:03:51.079 --> 02:03:55.239
What the rest of the letters mean. What games do you think fit the

1850
02:03:55.399 --> 02:03:59.399
roles of double A, single A, C and D games? Is there

1851
02:03:59.399 --> 02:04:02.840
a Z game? Wats and love
and Platonic grubby Kiss on the forehead?

1852
02:04:03.119 --> 02:04:10.560
Vaughn from Northern Ireland. I think
D would be like Rogue Warrior, the

1853
02:04:10.600 --> 02:04:15.680
Dick Marsenco game. Okay, sure, okay, C puts the D in

1854
02:04:15.760 --> 02:04:19.199
Dick Marsenko. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Oh double A single A scene

1855
02:04:19.319 --> 02:04:24.880
Okay, double A for me is
Dead Island two. Uh oh sure,

1856
02:04:25.199 --> 02:04:27.960
yeah, that's like, well this
game might as well be a triple A

1857
02:04:28.039 --> 02:04:30.399
game, but it's like, you
know, it's not, and that is

1858
02:04:30.439 --> 02:04:36.479
not the only difference is single A
like Dark Void? Ooh? Maybe what

1859
02:04:36.600 --> 02:04:42.079
makes you say that that's double the
double A. I mean it just hm,

1860
02:04:42.119 --> 02:04:44.600
it didn't seem to have the biggest
budget or marketing in the world,

1861
02:04:44.600 --> 02:04:48.640
but it was definitely not like a
cheap game. Yeah, I think I

1862
02:04:48.640 --> 02:04:56.680
think double A is sometimes used to
and B are are like used interchangeably sometimes.

1863
02:04:56.720 --> 02:04:59.439
Yeah, and I'm not sure there
is like a single A, yeah

1864
02:04:59.520 --> 02:05:01.279
exactly. Once you get down there, it's like, now we're talking about

1865
02:05:01.319 --> 02:05:04.560
indie games. Now, I think
like a lot of these things are non

1866
02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:10.680
existent. What was that combination word
where it was like indie and A Like,

1867
02:05:10.680 --> 02:05:14.960
what was that thing again? Triple
I, triple I think there's more

1868
02:05:15.000 --> 02:05:18.319
density, integrity, what is the
last intelligence? And delevision? Yeah?

1869
02:05:18.399 --> 02:05:24.359
Thanks? I think Z would be
like something that gets thrown on steam and

1870
02:05:24.479 --> 02:05:27.079
is up there for a little bit
but found out it's just a thing that's

1871
02:05:27.159 --> 02:05:31.399
like a virus. Yeah, robots, yeah, yeah, yeah. So

1872
02:05:31.439 --> 02:05:35.000
the rank, so the tier stuff
is, it's not even there's there's not

1873
02:05:35.119 --> 02:05:40.520
even a double A. There's just
the double A is like you you know

1874
02:05:40.600 --> 02:05:43.439
it when you see it, you
use it, but it's not like there's

1875
02:05:43.479 --> 02:05:46.039
triple A if there's n D and
those are like pretty concrete things, you

1876
02:05:46.079 --> 02:05:49.720
know, there's some nebulous stuff around
obviously, so much in between those,

1877
02:05:50.079 --> 02:05:51.840
right, and then there's so much
of stuff in between. It's like,

1878
02:05:51.960 --> 02:05:55.880
you know, it's kind of like
you just in the moment, you're like,

1879
02:05:55.880 --> 02:05:57.520
oh, that's kind of double A. But that could change. You

1880
02:05:57.520 --> 02:06:00.520
could call it a B game later, yeah, after after you play more

1881
02:06:00.560 --> 02:06:02.760
of it could change. It's these
are just like terms we use in the

1882
02:06:02.800 --> 02:06:06.319
moment to get across an idea that's
a little bit bigger than like these very

1883
02:06:06.399 --> 02:06:11.079
bespoke and like the trying to stick
ideas of what these terms might mean.

1884
02:06:11.520 --> 02:06:17.760
Right. I like that actually see
like never Dead. Yeah that's good.

1885
02:06:17.920 --> 02:06:21.439
What about all the games that Tommy
tall Rico is having made for the in

1886
02:06:21.439 --> 02:06:28.279
television amikoose those are rs right?
Yeah, it's like, hey, the

1887
02:06:28.600 --> 02:06:32.319
Dolphin game, so he play as
a dolphin, Okay yeah? Or games

1888
02:06:32.840 --> 02:06:35.520
like a Z game would be like
a game that's on a touch screen in

1889
02:06:35.520 --> 02:06:40.560
the back of an uber. Okay, yeah, that's it's like built into

1890
02:06:40.600 --> 02:06:44.000
the back of the table game.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's the

1891
02:06:44.119 --> 02:06:47.399
it's the game that's built into the
remote in the hotel. Oh that's good.

1892
02:06:47.760 --> 02:06:53.439
Yeah, that's a Z game.
Where do you classify a game?

1893
02:06:54.079 --> 02:06:58.399
I've been googling this this whole conversation. Uh, the order eighteen eighty six

1894
02:06:58.920 --> 02:07:02.960
that I think that was triple A. Yeah, it's triple A. Yeah.

1895
02:07:03.840 --> 02:07:05.960
Money into that, yeah, a
lot of money, big budget.

1896
02:07:05.960 --> 02:07:09.960
It's just it doesn't hit like but
that doesn't mean it's not going for me.

1897
02:07:10.840 --> 02:07:13.520
Still amazing and we were all going
to play it very soon. But

1898
02:07:13.600 --> 02:07:17.760
it's gonna check that out. Eighteen
eighty six you just got to go and

1899
02:07:17.800 --> 02:07:20.720
be like, what if this came
out a year after rescuing you before?

1900
02:07:20.800 --> 02:07:25.239
If you look at it that way, there are like two guns that are

1901
02:07:25.279 --> 02:07:28.119
kind of cool in it and other
yeah, the rail Guy hour experience.

1902
02:07:28.279 --> 02:07:30.880
Now there's one where you could like
shoot gun go and then explode it with

1903
02:07:30.880 --> 02:07:33.000
a different button and that was fun. But you're like the nights of the

1904
02:07:33.079 --> 02:07:40.439
round table and stuff and it color
just remember it looked really good. It

1905
02:07:40.039 --> 02:07:44.680
does look phenomenal, but it's someone
of those gifts they had, like the

1906
02:07:44.680 --> 02:07:46.760
the the theater effect where like the
black bars are the top and the bottle

1907
02:07:48.199 --> 02:07:51.520
save the frame rate and stuff.
Yeah, maybe they did, like I

1908
02:07:51.520 --> 02:07:59.199
don't, I don't remember, but
like I remember being genuinely like impressed with

1909
02:07:59.279 --> 02:08:03.119
the fidelity of that thing. Yeah, yeah, you know, and it

1910
02:08:03.279 --> 02:08:07.760
was like Tesla Coil stuff right there
was Yeah, yeah, Tesla was like

1911
02:08:07.800 --> 02:08:13.800
your like buddy in there guy.
Yeah. Anything prestige adjacent sign me the

1912
02:08:13.800 --> 02:08:16.760
phe Yeah yeah, I mean this
is the closest you're going to get to

1913
02:08:16.760 --> 02:08:22.279
a prestige game probably. Yeah.
It's David Bowie in it though. Pc

1914
02:08:22.439 --> 02:08:26.560
port comment is what I want to
know any day now, man, Any

1915
02:08:26.600 --> 02:08:31.279
directors cut yeah, they're going to
give you a like four x three ratio

1916
02:08:31.319 --> 02:08:37.600
instead. Hell yeah. Last email
of the show comes from Vanessa. Subject

1917
02:08:37.640 --> 02:08:41.720
line reads, I have the solution, Hello, Bombers. The solution to

1918
02:08:41.760 --> 02:08:46.079
what you might ask, The solution
to the situation that game dev companies like

1919
02:08:46.119 --> 02:08:52.600
Sony and WB are currently in with
having to pay licensing fees. Public domain

1920
02:08:52.000 --> 02:08:56.640
needs a comeback like big time.
Here's some games I would literally die for

1921
02:08:56.760 --> 02:09:03.600
from public domain. Oh and then
they provide a top ten list of public

1922
02:09:03.600 --> 02:09:07.039
domain games. Alice in Wonderland horror
game. I know it's already been done.

1923
02:09:07.039 --> 02:09:09.680
I don't care. Just do it
again, right, Okay, isn't

1924
02:09:09.680 --> 02:09:13.159
it funny? Like I know this
is all in jest, but like I

1925
02:09:13.199 --> 02:09:18.079
do think, like the well the
Alice in Wonderland will is not dry yet,

1926
02:09:18.199 --> 02:09:20.560
Like I just think. No,
there's a lot of these, yeah,

1927
02:09:20.560 --> 02:09:22.960
a lot of these, like public
domain things. Like if you did

1928
02:09:22.039 --> 02:09:26.760
a an actual big budget like Sherlock
Holmes game, I bet that would do

1929
02:09:26.880 --> 02:09:30.520
very well. I want I want
to see a year in Ney from y'all.

1930
02:09:30.920 --> 02:09:37.159
Sure, Number two HP Lovecraft RPG. Yeah, yeah, sure,

1931
02:09:37.720 --> 02:09:43.960
okay, Tom Sawyer Slash Huck Finn
Telltales no good, no tripa a Sherlock

1932
02:09:45.000 --> 02:09:48.840
Holmes like, Allan Wake two but
Hound of Baskerville, Yeah that would work.

1933
02:09:50.079 --> 02:09:54.119
I'm on the fence with that.
But yeah, okay, Peter Pan

1934
02:09:54.199 --> 02:10:01.119
Souls like or Action RPG. Nay, Peter like that would be That could

1935
02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:01.920
be cool. That would be cool
if it was like, what's his name

1936
02:10:01.960 --> 02:10:09.880
Pinocchio? Yeah, Lies of p
two because it's two ps ps pp.

1937
02:10:11.439 --> 02:10:16.119
Okay, that's the episode title.
Treasure Island. Zelda like, yeah,

1938
02:10:16.399 --> 02:10:20.199
what is Treasure Island? I don't
know the story of Treasure Island, Like

1939
02:10:20.239 --> 02:10:24.960
the Geena Davis movie that's Cutthroat Island
that already had a super pirates Probably this

1940
02:10:26.039 --> 02:10:33.279
sounds like a Disney thing, I
know, the one Yes Treasure little little

1941
02:10:33.279 --> 02:10:43.840
tiny people and then there's a big
person and and also Gigan's Island. Jack

1942
02:10:43.880 --> 02:10:50.319
Black is in a terrible version of
that uh tale that's he is. Yeah.

1943
02:10:50.479 --> 02:10:52.880
Wizard of Oz RPG, Oh,
I'd be into that. I think

1944
02:10:52.880 --> 02:10:58.760
Wizard of is like criminally under tapped. Yeah that could be cool. I

1945
02:10:58.800 --> 02:11:01.720
think Wizard of Oz is sort of
dope. I know, Wicked is very

1946
02:11:01.760 --> 02:11:03.840
much a thing, and they are
coming out with a Wicked movie, which

1947
02:11:03.880 --> 02:11:11.640
actually looks kind of dope. But
yeah, god, y'all remember that James

1948
02:11:11.640 --> 02:11:24.159
Franco Wizard off whatever from Sam Okay, okay, it's very sad. Winnie

1949
02:11:24.199 --> 02:11:30.600
the Pooh as a stardoo valley.
I fucking hate Winnie the Pooh. What's

1950
02:11:30.640 --> 02:11:39.359
the point? I love Winning the
Poo my favorite. I have to answer

1951
02:11:39.439 --> 02:11:48.399
to you, Dan Ker, who
is Winning the poop for what's the trees?

1952
02:11:50.319 --> 02:11:52.680
What does he have the Yogi Bear
doesn't have? And Yogi Bear is

1953
02:11:52.720 --> 02:11:58.680
more likable. He has a really
depressed friend, a really scared best was

1954
02:11:58.720 --> 02:12:01.600
Boo Boo Boom was pretty depress.
Yogi Bear was stealing picnic baskets, and

1955
02:12:03.960 --> 02:12:07.680
yeah, it was probably right,
thank you, Let's go this family.

1956
02:12:11.880 --> 02:12:15.479
I love Winnie the Pooh, Like
what about Winnie the Pooh? Like for

1957
02:12:15.600 --> 02:12:18.720
real, I've just I've never I've
obviously been confronted with images of Winnie the

1958
02:12:18.720 --> 02:12:24.119
Pooh throughout my life, but there's
never, for a second been a frame

1959
02:12:24.159 --> 02:12:26.640
of anything where I've been like,
oh, I should look into this more.

1960
02:12:28.000 --> 02:12:28.920
I get what you're saying. Look, Dan, I'm with you.

1961
02:12:30.000 --> 02:12:31.640
I think Winning the Pooh for the
most part sucks, but I want to

1962
02:12:31.640 --> 02:12:35.600
get into the mind of like there's
nothing, like I don't even know what

1963
02:12:35.640 --> 02:12:37.279
it's about. I just like i
look at a bear with a shirt on,

1964
02:12:37.319 --> 02:12:39.359
and I'm like, what am I
doing? Why? Why do I

1965
02:12:39.399 --> 02:12:43.800
need to look into this? I
just feel like I don't I wouldn't want

1966
02:12:43.800 --> 02:12:48.640
to hang out with him. He's
like a stoned little bear who's always like

1967
02:12:48.680 --> 02:12:52.319
Donkey friand like like sad all the
time too, or yeah, I see

1968
02:12:52.319 --> 02:12:54.039
none of thus appeals to me.
That's the pressed friend. Oh man,

1969
02:12:54.239 --> 02:13:00.399
I don't like the tiger friend Calvin
and Hobbs has an awesome tiger friend.

1970
02:13:00.760 --> 02:13:05.079
Yeah, man, I remember a
good one. I remember the bear tigers

1971
02:13:05.640 --> 02:13:09.600
hunting on like a date with my
ex girlfriend and I just felt that the

1972
02:13:09.640 --> 02:13:13.439
relationship was on its way out.
But we were watching the Winnie the Pooh

1973
02:13:13.479 --> 02:13:16.920
movie and then like she was really
depressed. I was really depressed. But

1974
02:13:16.000 --> 02:13:20.239
I fucking lost my ship at the
Can you not not joke? Go look

1975
02:13:20.239 --> 02:13:24.840
on YouTube for that, I'll link
it. I'll say this, I speaking

1976
02:13:24.880 --> 02:13:28.600
of fictional bears that I thought that
I had no appeal to me. PI

1977
02:13:30.840 --> 02:13:33.840
Paddington I I had no idea what
the fuck of Paddington Bear was? I'd

1978
02:13:33.920 --> 02:13:37.079
again seen images of it and never
looked into it. And then everyone starts

1979
02:13:37.079 --> 02:13:39.680
talking about Paddington too. I hadn't
seen Paddington one. I heard about the

1980
02:13:39.720 --> 02:13:43.239
rotten tomato stuff and everything and bock, and I watched Paddington two, and

1981
02:13:43.279 --> 02:13:48.960
I'll be goddamned if it is not
a delightful, delightful movie and wonderful character

1982
02:13:50.039 --> 02:13:56.119
one sh movie. Yeah, I
totally get it Paddington two moment yet,

1983
02:13:54.800 --> 02:14:00.840
I will let me go Paddington.
Let me make a Winnie the Pooh.

1984
02:14:00.880 --> 02:14:05.479
I just don't think Winny of the
Pooh is interesting or no, or you

1985
02:14:05.520 --> 02:14:09.079
got there? You go? You
ever wanted to think your jar hand in

1986
02:14:09.119 --> 02:14:15.000
a jar? Honey? No,
seems terrible, that's fun. I got

1987
02:14:15.079 --> 02:14:16.560
I got hair on my hands.
I don't want that in the honey.

1988
02:14:16.880 --> 02:14:20.920
Yeah. Like what if Winn of
the Pool like was motivated? I don't

1989
02:14:20.960 --> 02:14:26.520
know, He's just like he is
like a manifestation of depression. Yeah,

1990
02:14:26.119 --> 02:14:31.239
five thousand. That's why I'm so
with everything all. Yeah, That's where

1991
02:14:31.239 --> 02:14:37.079
I'm at right now until notion fixes
me. All. My whole fashion sense

1992
02:14:37.199 --> 02:14:43.640
is built off of fictional bears.
When you think about it and boil it

1993
02:14:43.720 --> 02:14:48.039
down, I dress exactly like Paddington
Bear. Yes, in my private life,

1994
02:14:48.119 --> 02:14:52.680
I win you the Pooh that ship
all the time. You wear pants

1995
02:14:52.680 --> 02:14:56.239
and you love pants, and you're
in my private life. You know,

1996
02:14:56.479 --> 02:15:01.439
sure you don't walk around in like
a button down free ball and there's no

1997
02:15:01.520 --> 02:15:05.560
way because the pool wears a red
shirt. And then like look at the

1998
02:15:05.720 --> 02:15:11.760
Ralph Lauren Polo Bear. That motherfucker's
got steeze out the wazoo. Anyway,

1999
02:15:11.720 --> 02:15:16.119
Vanessa has two more options, Homer's
Odyssey Rogue Light Yeah, sure, okay,

2000
02:15:16.199 --> 02:15:22.000
I'll do that, and a Three
Musketeers action game that'd be great.

2001
02:15:22.439 --> 02:15:26.359
What you got against the Musketeers are
great, you guys. That was Man

2002
02:15:26.399 --> 02:15:30.279
on the Iron Mask, right,
I think that might be the only three

2003
02:15:30.359 --> 02:15:33.880
Musketeers media Like, I like Three
musket or Man in the Iron Mask,

2004
02:15:35.039 --> 02:15:37.600
but I hate the Candy Bar.
And that's all I know about three musket

2005
02:15:37.760 --> 02:15:41.520
don't. I don't think Man in
the Iron Mask is three Musketeers, is

2006
02:15:41.520 --> 02:15:45.720
it not? Might be adjacent in
the same universe. I had the same

2007
02:15:45.920 --> 02:15:48.159
swords, and you know, I've
never seen Man in the Iron Mask.

2008
02:15:48.439 --> 02:15:52.840
If I know, like inclination that
it was about the Three Musketeers. Chatti

2009
02:15:52.920 --> 02:15:54.319
thing. I'm correct. Okay,
yes, I've never seen it. Yes,

2010
02:15:54.439 --> 02:15:58.560
okay, look at that man.
Oh I do think Dan is probably

2011
02:15:58.640 --> 02:16:01.600
right. Thank you, Thanks Mike
held He keeps popping in to say that.

2012
02:16:03.000 --> 02:16:03.880
I appreciate it, Mike. Thank
you, Mike. I hope you're

2013
02:16:03.880 --> 02:16:09.800
recording your audio track one because you
keep popping in. All right, thank

2014
02:16:09.840 --> 02:16:13.800
you. Vanessa from Denver, Colorado
real quick. I found out what comes

2015
02:16:13.800 --> 02:16:18.640
out the day we get into Boston
on Thursday on Amazon Prime Video, the

2016
02:16:18.680 --> 02:16:28.640
New Roadhouse movie. Oh yeah,
maybe we could watch that that night.

2017
02:16:28.760 --> 02:16:33.639
Yeah, in person live filming forties
watch. I'd be down for that.

2018
02:16:33.760 --> 02:16:37.399
Yeah, that's what I'm kind of
It would be too okay, all right,

2019
02:16:37.559 --> 02:16:39.079
Well maybe we're just like, yeah, okay, we'll make it happen,

2020
02:16:39.200 --> 02:16:41.159
okay. Cool. I was looking
I was looking at the demm like,

2021
02:16:41.200 --> 02:16:43.920
oh I think we get into Boston
that day. That sucks, And

2022
02:16:43.920 --> 02:16:46.000
I'm like, well, well maybe
I do that, all right, cool,

2023
02:16:48.120 --> 02:16:52.360
okay, okay, yeah, maybe
I'll just like, I don't know,

2024
02:16:52.440 --> 02:16:56.239
go out in Boston like I was
just like, takings, Yeah,

2025
02:16:58.399 --> 02:17:01.879
you could take in the the the
city from like the view of a hotel

2026
02:17:01.959 --> 02:17:07.440
room with your friends. No,
no friends, my friends. We'll go

2027
02:17:07.520 --> 02:17:09.200
catch a bunch of shrimp in the
harbor and then bring them back to room

2028
02:17:09.200 --> 02:17:16.440
and watch Roadhouse. We can't and
Roadhouse. We can't visit major metropolitan city.

2029
02:17:16.479 --> 02:17:20.760
We've been to Boston a bunch of
times. It ain't that much like

2030
02:17:20.799 --> 02:17:24.079
I'm I'm with you Boston is.
It's like a little town. We're going

2031
02:17:24.159 --> 02:17:30.399
overwhelmingly just fine. I get it
you're arguing against yourself, But that doesn't

2032
02:17:30.440 --> 02:17:33.479
mean we should stay indoors. Just
in the big city in the bright lights.

2033
02:17:33.479 --> 02:17:37.600
We gotta go out. It's fine, but I don't think we need

2034
02:17:37.680 --> 02:17:39.639
to like stay indoors. Plus,
we're gonna have a lot of friends in

2035
02:17:39.719 --> 02:17:45.760
town, Like there's no home.
Put in one omni directional mic shove as

2036
02:17:45.760 --> 02:17:48.840
many people in that hotel room as
we can watch Roadhouse. Yeah, because

2037
02:17:48.840 --> 02:17:52.680
it worked out so well last time, A bunch of people in a hotel

2038
02:17:52.719 --> 02:17:56.879
room in l a and eatee hundred
chicken nuggets. Last time we traveled private

2039
02:17:56.159 --> 02:18:03.040
moment, private friend that was made
hundred nuggets at three in the morning.

2040
02:18:03.520 --> 02:18:07.879
That was a private event for a
select audience of six or seven. I

2041
02:18:07.920 --> 02:18:13.000
forgot that for us and us only
friends were made for a lifetime. There

2042
02:18:13.799 --> 02:18:18.520
was he was like, I gotta
go home. All you were it's just

2043
02:18:18.559 --> 02:18:22.000
too late, too many chicken nuggets. I'm like when Nikki had to leave,

2044
02:18:22.079 --> 02:18:24.840
I was like, oh, we
were doing something. Back to the

2045
02:18:24.879 --> 02:18:28.440
hotel and I'm handed to phone saying
Dan, I trust you, please make

2046
02:18:28.440 --> 02:18:31.040
it so one hundred McNuggets arrive here. It's like, I think I can

2047
02:18:31.120 --> 02:18:35.719
make this happen. Not that you
pressed a couple of buttons. I will

2048
02:18:35.719 --> 02:18:41.319
say this. I was shocked as
to like how enthusiastic seven grown adults were

2049
02:18:41.440 --> 02:18:45.520
about this, like on that Like
I was just like, oh my god,

2050
02:18:45.559 --> 02:18:48.159
we're actually doing this. It was
almost like we were like trying Heroin.

2051
02:18:48.399 --> 02:18:50.799
It was like I just I couldn't
believe how into it. And it

2052
02:18:50.879 --> 02:18:58.000
was yeah, ah right, that
does it for emails this week BombCast on

2053
02:18:58.079 --> 02:19:01.559
bomb dot com is the email address
to send your emails too. I love

2054
02:19:01.600 --> 02:19:05.520
fun quizzes, I love lists.
Go send those, go make those,

2055
02:19:05.559 --> 02:19:11.000
and I appreciate all the time you
put into making those. No, we're

2056
02:19:11.000 --> 02:19:16.360
not trying arrowin at taxis now.
We're not. Definitely not. Maybe SGF.

2057
02:19:16.559 --> 02:19:18.719
Here's the next thing I'll leave you
with. Uh, this is a

2058
02:19:18.719 --> 02:19:22.399
little is a fun little story.
I think you everyone will like it.

2059
02:19:22.000 --> 02:19:26.040
Uh. A couple of years ago, Vinnie gave me a bunch of clothes

2060
02:19:26.440 --> 02:19:31.520
for his kids, like old clothes
for her dib and David is finally growing

2061
02:19:31.559 --> 02:19:37.479
into the size that, you know, appropriate size. So Dylan's were about

2062
02:19:37.479 --> 02:19:46.200
to like TriCaster merch. It's not
Vinnie's clothing from the TriCaster Corporation. Sure,

2063
02:19:46.360 --> 02:19:50.520
you know, you dumb dumb.
Check out that new tech fleece.

2064
02:19:50.399 --> 02:19:54.280
So among all, it's like a
lot of jackets, a lot of vests,

2065
02:19:54.280 --> 02:19:56.959
a lot of cool stuff. Right, check out those barringer shoes.

2066
02:19:58.719 --> 02:20:01.360
Now, it's just not that old. It's all like relatively you know,

2067
02:20:03.120 --> 02:20:09.600
newish, right or whatever. And
there's this one highly reflective vest that he's

2068
02:20:09.639 --> 02:20:13.600
been rocking like hardcore high viz.
Yeah, he goes debt. He comes

2069
02:20:13.600 --> 02:20:16.440
back from soccer practice the other day, he goes debt. I got to

2070
02:20:16.479 --> 02:20:20.879
the soccer field and everyone's like,
yo, you got crazy riz with that

2071
02:20:22.079 --> 02:20:26.079
vest. He's like, you gotta
go riz up those girls on the playground.

2072
02:20:26.280 --> 02:20:33.280
And Dylan's like, I'm wearing this
vest every day and I just need

2073
02:20:33.280 --> 02:20:35.959
everyone to know that very adorable and
cool gime Bomb story. Yeah, I

2074
02:20:35.959 --> 02:20:45.000
think we have to call him high
Viz dib noo. Let's not start this.

2075
02:20:48.440 --> 02:20:56.200
Jenn left the frame. He has
gone by by all right, God,

2076
02:20:56.280 --> 02:20:58.520
I gotta get Michael him on the
phone with a new business venture.

2077
02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:05.360
Hi, Riz, Oh my god, that's brilliant. I think it'd be

2078
02:21:05.360 --> 02:21:09.799
better if Dylan just started dressing and
looking exactly like Vinny at the age of

2079
02:21:09.879 --> 02:21:16.000
like eight, shirt, black shirt
and jeans. What's not to like?

2080
02:21:16.280 --> 02:21:20.399
Timeless outfit. Oh my god,
that will never go out of style.

2081
02:21:20.479 --> 02:21:22.920
By the way, you can wear
a black T shirt fully black T shirt

2082
02:21:22.959 --> 02:21:26.600
and jeans for the rest of your
life and be fine. Yeah. I

2083
02:21:26.639 --> 02:21:31.920
think I think that is the uniform
of a lot of Giant Bomb community members.

2084
02:21:31.360 --> 02:21:35.760
Yeah for sure. All right,
folks, thank you for tuning in

2085
02:21:35.920 --> 02:21:39.719
to a lovely episode of the Giant
BombCast. What have we got going on

2086
02:21:39.719 --> 02:21:43.639
in the rest of this week?
We got games mornings popping off Wednesday,

2087
02:21:43.760 --> 02:21:48.639
Thursday, Friday. We are not
racing through all ninety six courses in Mario

2088
02:21:48.680 --> 02:21:52.440
Kart again. That almost killed me. I will be dressed up like fuck

2089
02:21:52.440 --> 02:21:56.719
I'm Superman again. And now Yeah, well here's the gimmick. I thrown

2090
02:21:56.840 --> 02:22:01.479
No, well, I gotta because
fucking Mike and I he's a maniac and

2091
02:22:01.639 --> 02:22:05.719
is now a mortal combat mythology.
Speed Runner crack him out on twitch at

2092
02:22:05.719 --> 02:22:11.040
told codo he is now legitimately doing
speed run stuff with the Breakdown in the

2093
02:22:11.079 --> 02:22:15.719
world. But he broke back into
jail is basically what you're saying. Yeah,

2094
02:22:15.719 --> 02:22:16.399
I don't know what the count because
he doesn't have to make up on

2095
02:22:16.479 --> 02:22:24.239
but for and Break season two.
Yeah he did, which I fucking facetiously

2096
02:22:24.520 --> 02:22:26.200
said, or you know, I
did not expect this happened. I said,

2097
02:22:26.239 --> 02:22:30.200
yeah, okay, I'll beat Superman
on Superman difficulty if you beat Shanock.

2098
02:22:30.719 --> 02:22:33.639
Uh. And he beats Shanock.
He just straight up did. It'srank

2099
02:22:33.840 --> 02:22:35.360
honestly, nothing more respect for what
he did. What's the what's the plan

2100
02:22:35.440 --> 02:22:39.799
then, Dan, because you are
the last level, I'm going to get

2101
02:22:39.799 --> 02:22:43.479
the last level and switch it to
Superman difficulty and then I think that works

2102
02:22:43.639 --> 02:22:46.239
from what someone said on the internet
and internet chat, which is never wrong,

2103
02:22:48.520 --> 02:22:50.959
you can switch it in the middle
of it. So I'm going to

2104
02:22:52.000 --> 02:22:54.559
get to level fourteen or whatever,
and then I'm going to switch it to

2105
02:22:54.600 --> 02:22:58.840
Superman and then from what I have
heard that final level is like the hottest

2106
02:23:00.200 --> 02:23:03.760
ship of the entire Superman game.
I'm gonna have to play it on hard

2107
02:23:03.840 --> 02:23:07.440
now, so uh yeah, it's
gonna get real bad. You don't want

2108
02:23:07.440 --> 02:23:09.040
to get your seat legs underneath you
by playing the rest of our once Superman,

2109
02:23:09.239 --> 02:23:13.200
so no, I want to as
long as possible. All right.

2110
02:23:13.239 --> 02:23:16.959
Wait, so you're telling me that
they're like who decides the rule that,

2111
02:23:18.079 --> 02:23:20.200
like, oh, switching difficulty in
that last boss is okay. Well the

2112
02:23:20.319 --> 02:23:24.399
rule, the actual Blight Club rule
is you play on the default normal default

2113
02:23:24.399 --> 02:23:28.680
difficulty, but you also are supposed
to try to see the end of the

2114
02:23:28.719 --> 02:23:31.719
game and that means credits. No, No, I mean it's you play

2115
02:23:31.760 --> 02:23:33.360
through the whole thing on the normal
difficulty, you know. And that's what

2116
02:23:33.680 --> 02:23:37.440
you know. Manati did he beat
the game on normal and everything, And

2117
02:23:37.440 --> 02:23:41.520
I said, I's not gonna do
the hard version. I will get credits

2118
02:23:41.559 --> 02:23:45.440
and do the last hard level on
the shitty difficulty, so I will have

2119
02:23:45.520 --> 02:23:48.000
to switch over and if it doesn't
work, then I have to restart and

2120
02:23:48.040 --> 02:23:52.479
just do the whole thing on Superman. So it's just so funny how much

2121
02:23:52.760 --> 02:23:56.680
of like Adrenale adrenaline junkies. You
guys have become with like you're like,

2122
02:23:56.719 --> 02:23:58.639
no, this isn't good enough,
This isn't good enough. We have to

2123
02:23:58.719 --> 02:24:05.600
it's a arms race. Yeah,
yeah, club is heroin. Heroin Jason

2124
02:24:07.520 --> 02:24:11.719
injected In't your eyeball tomorrow? Folks? Uh watched Dan wear that lovely,

2125
02:24:11.959 --> 02:24:16.639
lovely head of hair? Uh?
My favorite thing, Dan is like at

2126
02:24:16.000 --> 02:24:20.600
all of the green screen footage that
you sent over, you were constantly like

2127
02:24:20.840 --> 02:24:22.639
brushing the hair out of your face. There was one time where were like

2128
02:24:22.719 --> 02:24:26.520
shook it out of your uh face
with without your hands. I was like,

2129
02:24:26.639 --> 02:24:31.879
that is so majestical. It wasn't
a bit. I was just annoyed,

2130
02:24:31.079 --> 02:24:35.719
shut out of my pants. Okay, something just came to mind.

2131
02:24:35.920 --> 02:24:39.760
Let's see if we can do this. How much would it take for you

2132
02:24:39.840 --> 02:24:46.000
to wear the wig the entire pack? Wait, you're you're offering me money

2133
02:24:46.079 --> 02:24:52.239
because we can talk. We're talking
right now, dude. Five thousand dollars?

2134
02:24:52.639 --> 02:24:54.840
Oh you are? Sometimes you just
got number and see what's six?

2135
02:24:54.879 --> 02:25:00.920
All right? Didn't work? Five
hundred dollars done? You'll give me five

2136
02:25:01.040 --> 02:25:03.799
Wait a minute, legit, right
now, you'll give me five hundred dollars

2137
02:25:03.840 --> 02:25:09.120
to wear that fucking wiket packs all
packs, all panel and everything. Yeah,

2138
02:25:09.159 --> 02:25:13.920
of course. Okay, now it's
changed very Let's go back to five

2139
02:25:15.040 --> 02:25:22.120
k, dude, five hundred dollars
and all of it. First of all,

2140
02:25:20.920 --> 02:25:28.000
a hundred dollars. You know a
bald head. We need a bald

2141
02:25:28.280 --> 02:25:31.680
five hundred dollars to you, you're
basically wearing the wig grub. What are

2142
02:25:31.680 --> 02:25:35.040
you talking about? Giving five hundred
dollars? You're gonna get a special gift

2143
02:25:35.040 --> 02:25:41.680
that packs anyway, Dan, every
time anyone sees you, it must be

2144
02:25:41.799 --> 02:25:46.079
on. So like, even if
you're going I would that means you'd have

2145
02:25:46.120 --> 02:25:50.200
to wear it anytime outside of your
hotel room and the second someone sees you

2146
02:25:52.159 --> 02:25:56.879
with it off. I don't know. What about all my important business conversations?

2147
02:25:58.040 --> 02:26:01.120
Yeah, okay, just describe one
of those that happened. I might

2148
02:26:01.159 --> 02:26:03.760
need to eat a bunch of nuggets. I don't know. Okay, Yeah,

2149
02:26:03.920 --> 02:26:07.680
so think about it. I can't
look I can't afford to look like

2150
02:26:07.719 --> 02:26:11.760
a damn fool game ridiculous. Back, I'm not a man who can afford

2151
02:26:11.840 --> 02:26:20.959
to look ridiculous. Packs over.
You have one week to decide. Think

2152
02:26:20.000 --> 02:26:24.639
it over, you get that five
K. Up, we'll talk five K.

2153
02:26:24.799 --> 02:26:30.959
That is so unreasonably stupid. Would
you pay for my uh blackout curtains

2154
02:26:31.600 --> 02:26:35.799
asation? You are such a weirdo? Why is that you're the one operating

2155
02:26:35.799 --> 02:26:43.520
to pay coworkers to wear wigs at
industry conventions next week, the two district

2156
02:26:43.600 --> 02:26:48.799
conventions. Okay, buddy, m
all right, look we're putting that out

2157
02:26:48.799 --> 02:26:52.000

curtains and if you cover that then we'll

2158
02:26:52.000 --> 02:26:54.799
talk. All right, we'll put
it out there. Okay, all right,

2159
02:26:56.399 --> 02:26:58.280
Uh, Thursday, we're gonna try
