Two weeks, which is crazy. 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,799 It should be scary, but I'm not scared. I'm excited.

But yeah, everyone to go go wishless that and then 30 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,879 check it out. Sounds like me and Kirkle were just talking. He might 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,480 be the first person ever beat the game other than me doing my test. 32 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,319 That's a crazy stat That's that's more motivation actually to really power through. I'm 33 00:01:57,319 --> 00:01:59,519 just gonna get no sleep tonight and just finish it. Not often you get 34 00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:01,560 the opportunity to be the first person to beat a game before. That's very 35 00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:06,079 true. Actually, you have a couple of weeks and then then you know, 36 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,840 the crazy people in the wild will like you beat it in you know, 37 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:14,639 two hours probably and start speaking already be up there, h yeah, 38 00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,039 So go check that out. And then I mentioned this last week, but 39 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:21,680 me and Travis we're gonna be doing a retrospective of hell Blade, so make 40 00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:23,199 sure to if you want to join along for that. If you haven't played 41 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:25,280 it before, go check it out. It's on game Pass, short game, 42 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:29,479 easy game to go check out. So I'm probably gonna be playing that. 43 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:31,719 Probably this week is when I'm gonna start playing that. Actually maybe tonight, 44 00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,800 who knows. We'll see. Do you have do you have a good 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,240 set of headphones? I heard it's like really important. It's funny that I 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,159 thought about that because my headphones that my normal podcasting ones, as we talked 47 00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:46,080 about a few months ago, broke and I kind of fixed them, it 48 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,360 kind of didn't. They just don't really work, and I haven't gotten new 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,759 ones, and so yeah, that maybe is an issue because that is a 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,639 very auditory based game. Maybe I should at least get the headphones before the 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,960 new game comes out, because it seems like that one's uh doing even crazier 52 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360 stuff with the audio. But yeah, I definitely need to get some quality 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,639 headphones again. I've been using these crappy little phone ones, and you know, 54 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,719 they get the job done. But for a game like that, you 55 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:09,960 know I want to be blasting it and I don't want to poor ear drums. 56 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,159 Right, I'm really overdue for a new set of of headphones as well. 57 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:16,000 I've been, as you've seen, for the last years, I've just 58 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,719 been using these little crappy airpot or Apple not Airpot Apple earbuds that it just 59 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,599 came with an iPhone or whatever years ago, and man, they are starting 60 00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:30,080 to like completely fall apart, Like this part is like separating right here. 61 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,439 So sometimes it just like I rip it off and it just like splits part 62 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,120 of it. I don't want to I don't want to glue it either, 63 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,560 because I feel like it'll just be like too big and my ear won't fit 64 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,199 nicely. I really got to just bite the bowl and get some new new 65 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,199 headphones because I have an old pair of Logitechs that I used to use, 66 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,360 but just the cord throughout, like you know, improper use is just starting 67 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,039 to fray a little bit. And it's to the point that like if you 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,240 have like the little the little input device like slightly rotated, you won't get 69 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,240 any audio on the ear. So you have to like it's like I'm playing 70 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960 like Skyrim or something trying to like pick a lock to like get the perfect 71 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,439 audio level. But yeah, I'm overdue, and it's important, especially in 72 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:11,719 a game like that, and get some great audio. Yeah, well if 73 00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:14,599 you do, whichever one of us picks up the headphones first, I'll have 74 00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:17,040 to throw the recommendation over there. I was doing a little research, but 75 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,079 I didn't decide on when yet. When we're dropping into the war zone playing 76 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:24,839 Call Duty or Outlast, what's your audio set up late for that? Are 77 00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:27,759 you do you have headphones for that? Or are you rocking those or nothing 78 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,920 at all? I use like my crappy ones that I was just mentioning, 79 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,800 where like they have to be like kind of perfectly in the middle. However, 80 00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:36,639 we also, you know, when we play Bringing the Fourth Wall, 81 00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:41,639 we go discords, right, So I have Discord on my phone and I 82 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,800 use these earbuds underneath my headphones. Right, Okay, so I'm I'm doubled 83 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,879 double earbud headphoned up. But sometimes if like Shay's on home, she's at 84 00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:54,040 work or whatever, I'll just have the audio through the TV, right, 85 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,879 just because it can be a little strenuous of having the double Yeah. I 86 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,040 was doing that for a while too, with the double headphones, and since 87 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,199 mine broke, I've stopped doing that. And now I'm just full lazy mode. 88 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,920 I just I don't even put headphones in. I just have discord on 89 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,600 my phone like on a pillow, just like sitting on my chest essentially. 90 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,720 And the TV is is the you know this game audience coming to the TV. 91 00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:17,600 But it's like at three volume. It is so quiet because I don't 92 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,399 want to wake MUDs up. It's allowed gunfiring all this. Yeah, so 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,480 I I like I used to be just like I found all the footsteps and 94 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,600 I could say, oh, Travis, like up the stairs are behind you, 95 00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,160 this guy there, But now I can't hear anything. I'm like so 96 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:34,759 useless. I'm all about the visual experience in terms of in terms of that, 97 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,759 which maybe for l last that would probably be too much too too freaky 98 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:42,399 in the headphone. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, don't do that setup 99 00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:49,000 with hell Blade. Yeah, just three volume phone on the lap, barely 100 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,079 engaged. Good any other plugs or I don't even know what's dropping this week. 101 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,560 I'm very out of the loop in the last couple of days here lots 102 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,800 of retros. We got the new plan of the Apes movie coming out on 103 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,319 Wednesday. Very much looking forward to that, but all those retros are there, 104 00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:10,079 men, max retros. Furiosa did a review of Guy. Oh, 105 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:14,279 I want to mention this. You and Taylor reviewed Knuckles. I did not 106 00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:17,319 almost thought about that actual Knuckles, and I never will, but I love 107 00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,519 that review was so fucking funny. If anyone needs a good laugh, whether 108 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,639 or not you're watching the show or not, just just listen to that review, 109 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,399 because I don't. I don't want to spoil it, but I'll just 110 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,639 say it was so freaking good. I was cracking up in the car ride 111 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:31,720 listening to that. So thank you guys for doing that. And I'll say 112 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,519 taking one for the team by by Gordon to check out that show. I'm 113 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000 really glad that you check that out, because yeah, I feel like I 114 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,480 just was battling some demons while watching that show, and I let the here 115 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,879 you guys break down, like what the plot of that show actually is is 116 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,519 insane to me that those were the choices that they decided to make. Definitely 117 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,319 a worthwhile listen for. Like I said, even if you're not watching that 118 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,480 show, go go listen to that review, at least the non spoiler section. 119 00:06:57,079 --> 00:07:00,240 Absolutely, Taylor, I also just dropped Tales of the Empire of You 120 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,319 last night, so that's that's on the feeds. Remind me what that is. 121 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:05,040 I can't keep up with all these. So, like they did Tales 122 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:10,120 of the Jedi, which is different than Star Wars Visions, it's basically just 123 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,399 filling in some some cracks between certain characters that are already established in the universe. 124 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:19,279 This is only six part series, fifty minute episodes, so like Super 125 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:24,040 Short, but this one was following two characters that new characters or is this 126 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,959 one also following like new to me? Because I haven't seen a Soca and 127 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,560 like a lot of Clone war stuff and rebels and stuff like that, so 128 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,279 it was like all new to me. And then Taylor was of course the 129 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,920 oh yeah, it's it's it's the same thing with Halo where he just like 130 00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:42,639 references like a chapter from a book like Book four. He just he just 131 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,120 knows it like the Bible, Like he's just so well versed in it. 132 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,160 So he was a great resource to have on that review because I was just 133 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,800 like asking questions and he of course had all the answers to everything. But 134 00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:54,199 no, it was fun. It was fun to break it down. Awesome, 135 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,680 good stuff. Okay, let's let's get into it. I'm gonna throw 136 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,199 to you first. What have you been playing lately? Any any new game 137 00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:05,079 or revisited games that you want to shout out today? Nothing new? I 138 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,240 mentioned you off cast. I've been putting in some work on Potion problem. 139 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,160 But you know, I feel like I got a what do they called like 140 00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:18,680 reviewer gate can't can't say anything on on air, But here's the nda. 141 00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:22,680 You can say anything positive, you know you can. You can you say 142 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,319 a quick piece for it if you want help, maybe you get a wishlist 143 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,720 or a few for me. That would be good. Yeah, No, 144 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:31,360 absolutely, I mean I I don't have anything negative to say, so that's 145 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,559 that's a good thing. And No, this has been the first time that 146 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:39,080 I've really put time in, like with the version that has music and stuff, 147 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,399 added to it, and man, it is just such a nice wholesome 148 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,919 game. Like I feel like, also, you did such a great job 149 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,159 at like it is a smaller scale game, but you still were able to 150 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,960 achieve some really good world building with like certain ingredients or me or maybe certain 151 00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:54,639 things in there that I'm like, where did this guy come from? Like 152 00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:58,799 like like where do we pull this little critter that I'm uh, you know, 153 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,840 maybe ripping his tongue out or finding some things in his belly buttons. 154 00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:05,879 So I really love just your your detail of that stuff, and I feel 155 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,600 like I was able to see some inspiration that you maybe had pulled from just 156 00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:13,879 previous games that you've talked about, whether it's something like like Coffee Talk or 157 00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:18,320 like just those like little wholesome games that just have really unique world building in 158 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,480 the sense of like you're not going out there and like experiencing the world on 159 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:24,320 your own, but just in this little area you're able to kind of tell 160 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,360 a story in that sense. So definitely tip my hat to you in that 161 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,840 aspect, And just the gameplay cycles is really really fun for me. So 162 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,879 yeah, definitely wishless and check out Postion Problem when that drops in two weeks, 163 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:37,759 but I've been having lots of fun with that. I was up a 164 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,200 little bit too late last night doing it, and I'm like, maybe, 165 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,960 just maybe there's one more of these levels I'll do. Then it's like, 166 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,559 ah, no, I got I got to see what the next potions are. 167 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,639 And I felt like I was dreaming about the ingredients last night and myect 168 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,279 for potion problems. Yeah, exactly. I'm guessing you're going through the campaign. 169 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,360 Have you jumped into any of the bonus levels yet? Or is that 170 00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:01,519 more of a I mean most of them don't really unlock until very later on 171 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:05,000 in the campaign anyway. But how's that? Have you checked any of those 172 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,600 out? No? I haven't done any of the bonus levels yet, so 173 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,279 uh does that count? If I if I beat the main campaign and then 174 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:15,600 I still beat the game? If you roll, if you do the campaign, 175 00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:18,799 there's like it's like any complete thing. Yeah, but yeah, I'm 176 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,320 curious to hear what you think of those once you get to them, because 177 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,519 they're a bit weirder off the cuff. Some of them are more puzzanly, 178 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,840 some of them are more like challenge based. But I've had very little if 179 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,000 any play testing on those though, who knows how that they might not be 180 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,279 maybe as polished as some of the campaign is, but I think because their 181 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,240 bonus stuff anyway, you can kind of connect with it as much or as 182 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:46,159 little as you want. And I'm okay with that. I'll definitely let you 183 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,320 know how that goes, and hopefully they can complete them. And I'm on 184 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,799 a journey now. But yeah, what else was I gonna say? No? 185 00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:56,360 I think I think that's it. I had something else to say on 186 00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:58,919 it, but it's it's eluding me right now. Let's think about the bonus 187 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,360 levels. That's fine. What else I've been playing? Warhammer three just dropped 188 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,120 a really nice big patch five point zero. I feel like whenever you have 189 00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:11,960 like a solid patch like that, whether it's like two point zero five point 190 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,279 zero as opposed to like one point seven one point six, you know, 191 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:18,159 like, I just feel like it's a big milestone and huge. I I 192 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,399 haven't really had time to like fully jump into a campaign there, but I 193 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,919 was checking out some things in there, and it's got me very excited to 194 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:31,399 do a certain Empire campaign just because with this patch, they've of course released 195 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,080 like a new DLC that has I think it's four new legendary lords, so 196 00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:39,679 like four new leaders to lead a faction or whatnot, and whenever they do 197 00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:46,200 that, it usually shifts the starting locations around for certain heroes and one empirical 198 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,399 type characters name's Balthasar Gelt. He's got one of the coolest names ever. 199 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:52,360 Like I've used that name in like D and D campaigns and like other role 200 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,519 playing aspects, just like such a sweet sounding name. But he's the Supreme 201 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,919 Patriarch of the Empire and the College of Magic, and he's just a really 202 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,759 interesting character because his magic that he uses is low of metal and it's it's 203 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:13,440 all about like alchemical properties of like turning things into gold. And I think 204 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,519 some really brief lore on him is like he had like a big explosion go 205 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,399 off, so he wears this like golden mask and he's just like he just 206 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,559 seems kind of like an automaton type character, but he is human, has 207 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,039 a very powerful gravitas of a voice, and he's just a really cool character. 208 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,240 However, in previous versions, I've hated his starting location like so much. 209 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:35,759 I've done like one of his campaigns and just not a fan of it, 210 00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:39,320 just because the early the early portion of the campaign is such a slog 211 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:43,000 to get through and just not very fun. But with this patch, they've 212 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,279 completely removed him from the Empire starting area and he's kind of in the far 213 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:52,039 East and he just has like a lot of new threats on his border and 214 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,480 brand new campaign mechanics, which is really really cool. Does this his metal 215 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,240 Metal Nancy, his master magnetism whatever you call it, Like, what is 216 00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:03,159 the gameplay implication of that? Or is that more of a lore thing? 217 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:09,759 So? Yeah, the when I said lore, the lore, what's the 218 00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:11,840 best way to say, it's like the way that magic works in Total war 219 00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:16,639 Warhammer or just Warhammer in general is they're called like lores, so lores of 220 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,279 magic. So there's like low of fire, lower of life, law of 221 00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:26,039 metal. So yeah, his his lore is basically his his spell book that 222 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,559 he uses is for the low of metal, but there is obviously lower like 223 00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:35,759 implications as well with that. Like he's also the Empire. They have like 224 00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:41,519 a lot of gunnery type units, like really heavy artillery, big cannon's, 225 00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:46,000 big health storm rocket batteries which are just so satisfying to the decimate units with 226 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:52,120 and he gets like boosts and buffs to I think he adds armor to all 227 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:54,759 of his units, but also just like he's got the best artillery in the 228 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,279 game, Like he's just really really powerful at boof boofing bus. I try, 229 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,240 I try to say both of those in in yeah. So yeah, 230 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:11,360 no, like he like he's really good at patting the stats of those types 231 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,240 really strong uh units, which is really satisfying. Usually takes a while to 232 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,399 get there, just because they're very expensive units, and that's why his previous 233 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,039 starting location was just such a annoyance, because you're just trying to get to 234 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,720 that point that you're like really rich and just like feeling all these massive artilleries 235 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,679 to just like have the super satisfaction of just destroying these units, but I 236 00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:33,240 feel like you never get there because you're just always so broke and always like 237 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:39,440 just getting destroyed by other vampire accounts or whoever's just raiding your lands. It's 238 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,279 it's super frustrating that sense. But no, no longer, he's a completely 239 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:45,879 different area, which is fantastic. I love his new campaign mechanics. They've 240 00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:48,039 also changed up a couple other factions, like kind of minor ones. That 241 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,440 was that was like the biggest upgrade to him. So yeah, that's a 242 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,039 long winded way of saying that I haven't jumped super far into this, but 243 00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,600 I was just scratching the surface. And I'm curious because I feel like it 244 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:05,919 seems like Warhammer three came out and you know, you liked it, but 245 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,799 there's changes in La Da Da, and then I feel like you kind of 246 00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:09,840 went back to Warhammer two, and this is the first time I feel like 247 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,080 I'm hearing you go back to Warhammer three. Is that an accurate the events? 248 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,639 Not entirely. I did take a break from Warhammer three, like, 249 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,679 because when the game came out, it was just like the set Realm of 250 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,799 Chaos campaign, which only includes the factions that were included in Warhammer three. 251 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:35,679 Now, the big, the big campaign that everybody loves is Mortal Empires from 252 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,519 Warhammer two, which combined the factions of both games. But now they have 253 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,320 Immortal Empires, which is the combination of all three games. Oh okay, 254 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,240 I like the hit Man effect where they just didn't take the three games and 255 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,159 bundle them. Okay, okay, no exactly. And but the big thing 256 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,840 there is that the maps, like Warhammer three had like a map that you 257 00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,360 know, that's that's what everyone plays on Warhammer two. Had a map. 258 00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:00,320 Warhammer one had a map, but Warhammer three with the Mortal Empire, it 259 00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,879 just combines all of the maps, so you just it's basically just a globe 260 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,279 that you're just like concering. It's so satisfying. That's where it takes like 261 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:11,720 weeks to get through a campaign, whereas maybe the campaign just for the single 262 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,000 game, you could probably beat them, honestly in one sitting, and one 263 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,639 sitting is probably four hours like around there. But like, still it is 264 00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:22,639 possible. Immortal Empires absolutely not. There's no way that you can beat those, 265 00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:27,519 Like I don't even think you could get the short victories in like one 266 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:32,559 city. And does SIEV have like short and long victories as well? I 267 00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:34,279 can't quite remember. I haven't played too much Sieve, not really, I 268 00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:38,919 mean I guess the short Like there are win conditions that like once you reach 269 00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:42,320 a certain amount of culture where you are going to get the culture victory, 270 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,000 like that could happen before the game would end in terms of like the timeline 271 00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:49,559 of it, but very rarely, like usually you're going to be like at 272 00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,519 least in the modern era or like the Info era before that kind of thing 273 00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:56,840 happens. Yeah, I guess it would just be like the war based one, 274 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,360 like if you kill the other nations, you could get a win much 275 00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:00,960 earlier on. But it's like, you know, maybe if you had a 276 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,559 game with like at most six countries and you were playing as like the Huns 277 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,839 or something like that, it's going on a killing rampage. But yeah, 278 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,039 most of the time that's not really Uh, that wouldn't really happen at least 279 00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:15,079 five I'm talking here. I'm sure the other games have different situations that could 280 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:18,720 arise. Yeah, I think the CIV game I played the most was Beyond 281 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:22,799 Earth, which is kind of regarded as one of the lesser ones. But 282 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,200 I remember there was like different victory conditions, not necessarily like how long, 283 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,519 Like I feel like they all kind of take the same amount of time to 284 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:33,519 get there, kind of what you're laying out like some of the later eras. 285 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,920 But no, in Warhammer, there's unless I'm mistaken, I think there's 286 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,319 three victory conditions. There's the short victory, which has like you know, 287 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,759 take out your main enemy, usually have this amount of settlements, and then 288 00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:51,039 you'll get the short victory. Long victory is usually like double that or whatever. 289 00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:53,400 It might be, like you might have take out more enemies or control 290 00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:59,279 certain areas that are kind of like more accurate to what your faction would be 291 00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:00,880 trying to go for. And then there's just the domination victory, which is 292 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:07,359 literally just paint the map like destroy every single well not necessarily destroy everyone, 293 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,680 but it's like have control of all the territories through military alliances or just own 294 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,519 them. And I've never done that before. That is ah, that is 295 00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:18,559 a venture and a half. But uh, just because it's like timing like 296 00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:22,279 how long that would take her, because it's just really hard, like to 297 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,640 do mechanics. I think. I think it's mostly the time thing. Like 298 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:32,079 there's there's been certain campaigns where I've just really popped off. I've taken out 299 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,839 like my main threats, and it's like I'm kinda kind of done with this 300 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,640 campaign, like I want to do something else. I love the early early 301 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,119 face. Oh yeah, I love the first half, and then once I 302 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,079 get yeah to some point in history, I'm like, I'm out. I 303 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,960 have carved by my path here. My my my actually most favorite campaign that 304 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,359 I've ever done in any Warhammer game was my most recent one that I've done 305 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,160 with the character's name is Malice Dark Blade, and he's by far my favorite 306 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,559 character and in Warhammer he's just so interesting. He's he's a dark Elf, 307 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,519 which is very like tyrannical, think like Souron's Army like like that sort of 308 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:15,440 like level, like they just they take slaves and just freaking torture people to 309 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,640 death, like like it is just pure evil type faction but that but like 310 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,160 their units are really sick. They have these hydras and just really like great 311 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,200 monster type characters. But for him, he's like possessed by a demon, 312 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,160 so you can also like turn into this just like super powerful demon on the 313 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,079 battlefield and he's just he's a god. Like it's just so fun to play, 314 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,720 so satisfying. And normally the Dark Elves they start in a certain area, 315 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,839 which, like the running meme is just Canada because because because the Warhammer 316 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:51,240 map is like loosely attached or like compared to like Earth like like sluicely like 317 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,920 like they just have like North America then like South America types, like that's 318 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,319 what it looks like at least, and that's where the Dark Elves are is 319 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,319 in Canada, basically where we are right now, just more north. But 320 00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:04,440 so yeah, that's normally where the Dark Heuves start, but for Malice, 321 00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:08,279 he starts like way over to the east, like way in the Chaos Waste, 322 00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:11,839 like super North. And on this campaign, I just like I'm like 323 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,680 I'm gonna take out the races of men and just like just completely raid and 324 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,960 pillage them, and like they're basically in Europe, like like think of that 325 00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:23,200 on the on the globe map. So I just went like straight south and 326 00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:29,279 just started like murdering people. And it was so satisfying because like the settlements 327 00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:33,200 are a lot closer together than where the Dark Heus usually are, and the 328 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,920 main source of income for the Dark Heals is just going to war and rating 329 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,039 and pillaging, so like if you are constantly in war, you're just gonna 330 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:44,240 be so rich so fast. And that's basically what I did in that campaign. 331 00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:47,759 It was so fun to just be constantly at war with so many different 332 00:20:47,759 --> 00:20:52,920 people and kind of playing like the political games to kind of like get two 333 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,559 factions to somewhat be at war with with each other. Then like whoever wins, 334 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:03,359 you just like surround there like all their while they're still having their exactly. 335 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,640 I love to kind of like role play too, while I play those 336 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,680 games. So I'm like, oh, yeah, I'll shake your hand here. 337 00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:15,839 Then like meanwhile, I'm moving all like my my army one hundred percent 338 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,920 undred percent. So uh. That that was my most recent campaign, and 339 00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:22,480 that one I haven't quite hit the point where I'm like, I feel like 340 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,000 I'm satisfied with this because I I feel like I really just want to destroy 341 00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:30,559 all of the forces of good that there. There was a campaign though, 342 00:21:30,599 --> 00:21:33,799 like a long time ago, where I I think it was one of my 343 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:37,720 earlier Dark Health campaigns where the main enemies of the Dark Elves are of course 344 00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:40,359 the High Elves, the good the Good Elves, and I just kind of 345 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,119 destroyed all of their lands. They they come from this aisle it's almost like 346 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,119 Somerset isles actually think of like Elder Scrolls type situation, but it's called oath 347 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,799 Wan, just a big island for the High Elves. I just completely took 348 00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,000 it over, and I just like I conquered all my enemies and I'm just 349 00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:59,720 sitting there on my island. This is like the main goal with the Dark 350 00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:03,759 Elves want and I'm like this is this This feels fucked up. I feel 351 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,720 like I'm really the bad guy here, like there's no life left on old 352 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,319 one, Like this is just not satisfying. So that was the end of 353 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:15,359 that campaign. But sometimes I'll also just start up a campaign to kind of 354 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,279 have like a set goal in mind, like let's just try and get to 355 00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:22,559 this location or take out this enemy, or try and ally a certain character 356 00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:25,680 that's usually an enemy. So sometimes I kind of have like a narrative goal 357 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,799 in that sense. But yeah, I don't even know how I got that 358 00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:30,640 topic. I just i'd love talking about Warhammer. And no, if you 359 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:36,680 start on Warhammer this patch, man, I am super super pumped about. 360 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,680 So yeah, big release five point oh I think it's five point zero point 361 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,559 one now because they had a hot fix because of course one faction was just 362 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,519 like incredibly buster or something. They needed to fix something really quick. But 363 00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:52,119 yeah, no, I'm super jazzed on Warhammer. Just you know, every 364 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,319 handful of months or something, you know, like quarterly, I'll just get 365 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,559 the bug. The bug will just bite me and I just got to get 366 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:02,480 back in there and start a campaign. But I wanted to ask you about 367 00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:04,359 a few games that you brought up in the last few months that I haven't 368 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,640 heard you talk about since and so I'm just curious what the status of them 369 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,440 are they come back to them, are they officially abandoned? A couple of 370 00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:14,480 them. I care about a couple that's like, I don't care what he 371 00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:17,200 does here. Okay, with balders Gate three, you jump back into that 372 00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:21,039 yet with Shay Shane and I have not jumped back in in a while. 373 00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:25,359 Yeah, No, it's it's been a hot minute. There, I'm with 374 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,880 you. There, It's been a couple of months for me. I I 375 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,039 it's so weird that so much of the motivation for me playing the game was 376 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,920 God, damn, I just want to get to the freaking city of Balder's 377 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,519 Gate. It takes so freaking long. You got to all this stuff, 378 00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:38,799 got to this underworld. It's annoying all this stuff. I mean, it 379 00:23:38,839 --> 00:23:41,519 was not It was fun, but there was also parts a long way where 380 00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,200 I'm like, I just want to go to the city. And then I 381 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,079 got to the city and then I just like all my motivation fell away and 382 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,480 I just kind of stopped. So I'm I still on you know, backlogged, 383 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,519 where I keep track of all the games I'm playing. I still have 384 00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:57,079 that in the playing section. I haven't I haven't officially abandoned it or put 385 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,160 it down, but yeah, for some reason, it's been like two months 386 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,119 now. I feel like that it's gotten away from me somehow. But I 387 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,240 definitely need to get in there because I think I'm pretty close to finishing at 388 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,400 least one play through, which I think will be good for me for the 389 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,279 next I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever do another play through. 390 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,839 I think one will be good for me. Honestly, you had one 391 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,000 going with a friend, didn't you. Yeah that was very short lived. 392 00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:21,839 That was like, okay, maybe six to eight hours of game time and 393 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,880 then he was playing with his partner and like they finished the game, and 394 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,160 then I kind of was focused on my single player one. So yeah, 395 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,359 that was kind of short lived. He's he mostly just he's grinding that counter 396 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,000 Strike game, so you know, yeah, there to pull him away respectable. 397 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:38,759 Yeah, no, yeah, that that one. It. I feel 398 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:41,759 like it's been like two months as well for us, at least on that 399 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:48,079 playthrough, I was talking to the notorious Patreon Tyler and he was telling me 400 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,039 that he recently got back into it as well, Like, like he said, 401 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:55,119 it was challenging though, because I mean as you know, like you're 402 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,720 pretty far in the game. Some of the combat sequences are very long and 403 00:24:57,839 --> 00:25:02,839 very hard, like very challenging, especially if you don't maybe know like a 404 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,839 certain trick to defeat it. And then like you get in some bad roles 405 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,400 back to back, and like there's been many times where we start combat and 406 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,640 like I don't even get a play because the enemy goes and they just destroy 407 00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:17,720 my characters. They get like just a perfect role or something, or maybe 408 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,880 I wasn't quite full health or I kind of put my characters in a disadvantaged 409 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,200 location that just really screwed me over. It was one of the things that 410 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,279 bummed me out a few times is in D and D in general, and 411 00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:33,160 like an RPG like this, I'd love to steal in my consequences, and 412 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,720 if I fuck up an a counter or I do the wrong speech option and 413 00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:38,519 all this bad stuff happens, it's like cool, that's I want to make 414 00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:42,279 that the can and ending. But then but then I just like die at 415 00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:45,519 some point in the fight, and then I have to restart over and over 416 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:47,720 again, and it's like I don't know, I feel like the stakes kind 417 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,079 of get taken away because it's like too hard at times, and they do 418 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,880 take a very long time, some of these battles do. When there's like 419 00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:57,839 thirty you know NPCs that are part of this battle, it's like they can 420 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,119 take forever. But yeah, they are very satisfying whenever it is finally done. 421 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,920 But sometimes it's been like, man, I wish this fight wasn't quite 422 00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:10,119 so savage. Yeah, no, one hundred percent, Or you think you're 423 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,799 doing good and all of a sudden, like five more people just like come 424 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:17,000 around the corner, and then like you see those new like those new icons 425 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,720 pop up at the top. But yeah, yeah, no, Yeah. 426 00:26:19,759 --> 00:26:22,000 Tyler was telling me that he got back into it, and he said there 427 00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:26,799 was one battle that he was kind of like I don't know if it was 428 00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:29,440 like he was stuck on it or like he just jumped into the battle and 429 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,920 he just kind of forgot about like like kind of where he was at, 430 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,519 and he he struggled to jump back into it. But I think since then 431 00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:41,279 he's gotten past that point and carried on. And I'm curious if he's I 432 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,000 mean, he'll he's probably don't listen to this episode, So I hope I'm 433 00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:48,519 not miss miss saying anything about his campaign. There but as far as I 434 00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:52,440 knew, I he did jump back into it, and that's that's kind of 435 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,680 just what put in my ear and I was like, oh yeah, like, 436 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,480 don't shit, what's going on. Let's let's jump back in there. 437 00:26:56,519 --> 00:27:00,559 And our schedules had been very disorgan these last couple of weeks, but I 438 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:04,640 definitely want to jump back in there. Peach showtime still playing to that I 439 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,480 beat the game. Actually I forgot to bring that up. Actually, I 440 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,480 was not even gonna mention it today because I just kind of forgot about it. 441 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,759 But no, I have world credits on that. And it was really 442 00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:18,079 second half because you were about halfway through, I think on the review. 443 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,960 Yeah, I think that there's like there's only so many costumes and stuff that 444 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,200 you do, so there is like repetition levels. I can't remember if I 445 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,480 had mentioned that on the on the review. I was kind of early on. 446 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,640 I think like maybe two or three. I think you had done a 447 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,240 couple of repeat levels at that point, or costume levels. But yeah, 448 00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:41,839 yeah, so there you go. So I like, I really love the 449 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,319 ones that I still liked, and I feel like the costumes that I didn't 450 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,119 love from the beginning, I still didn't quite love them on like the repeats, 451 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,319 which is understandable, I guess, but no, I I had a 452 00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:53,480 really fun time with it. Actually. I think it was a really cute, 453 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,119 whimsical little adventure with Peach. Just a great title card game to have 454 00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:03,200 under to his Peach. And I really like the ending as well. You 455 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:07,200 kind of get like a newer costume, a newer outfit, and there's like 456 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,799 two versions of it, sort of thing I attribute it to, like basically 457 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,200 Super Saiyan Peach. You don't get crazy hair or anything, but it's just 458 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,359 like the outfit change. It's just like, fuck, she feels like Super 459 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:26,359 Sonic here or Super Sayan. So yeah, I really did like the overall 460 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,880 journey and I thought it was a satisfying ending, and yeah, the boss 461 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,160 battle wasn't too crazy difficult, but yeah, I had lots of fun with 462 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,240 it. I am glad that I stuck through it. It was kind of 463 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:40,839 like easy enough and not too hard of a grind that I feel like. 464 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:45,240 Honestly, I feel like my one session after we did the review, I 465 00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:48,160 was able to just power through it. Maybe took like an hour or two, 466 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:52,319 but yeah, I know it. It was really good and Shay still 467 00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:55,000 hasn't had the chance to play on her on her own, so we'll probably 468 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,359 well she'll she'll play through it, but I'll be there and see what her 469 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,160 thoughts are on certain like the fucking Sherlock Holmes outfit one, Like I'm not 470 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,240 a fan of that at all. Those levels were just so slow paced and 471 00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:11,400 you're like trying to find clues and maybe I'm just bad, but it wasn't 472 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,920 like the most clear to and what I'm supposed to do, So like that 473 00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:17,279 was the only one that I well up until that point. That was the 474 00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:19,319 first one that I actually like failed to level on just because I like kept 475 00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:23,599 making these false accusations and then you just keep losing health bars when you make 476 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:29,000 these false accusations. That's funny. I don't get it. She's not ace 477 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:33,400 attorney man, like like they keep this away from a different game. Yeah 478 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,000 yeah. Health divers too, which had a lot of controversy over the weekend, 479 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,160 which has already kind of like gone and resolved where PlayStation Yeah wanted to 480 00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:42,920 establish this like you have to have a PSN account, and this was an 481 00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:47,880 issue where a lot of countries don't have that ability to do that. So 482 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,440 then like people weren't able to play the game, they're getting all these refunds. 483 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:55,759 It became I think the third most negatively reviewed game over the course of 484 00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:59,880 like three or four days, which is the insane. And then PSN like 485 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,799 already on like Sunday they like revote or I guess undid that change? And 486 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,759 so now I think peace is coming back to the Kingdom, but it's not 487 00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:08,559 gonna be without like I think, a ton of pain, a ton of 488 00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:11,680 lost customers along the way. So not a good look for them. I 489 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,599 mean, I don't think it's the hell Ever's team. It was not their 490 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,200 choice, it was PlayStation. But yeah, yeah, I don't know. 491 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,720 Have you have you jumped in there in the last few weeks. I think 492 00:30:21,759 --> 00:30:26,720 it's been like a few weeks. Actually, well whenever whenever Umi and Travis 493 00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:30,240 did our episode, like I had played that weekend, I think those two 494 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,559 three weeks ago, So there you go. Yeah, it was like two 495 00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:36,160 weeks. I didn't really know anything about this controversy until I just popped in 496 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,559 the discord. I think it was yesterday and I'm like, WHOA, that's 497 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,720 really bad. Like I'm fortunate enough to be on PlayStation, so it didn't 498 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,720 really affect me in that sense, but still just a really terrible business decision 499 00:30:45,759 --> 00:30:52,559 and just from going to like probably one of the most positive like game releases 500 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:53,839 and just like the Word of Mouse, just really blowing that game up, 501 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,079 just being as you just laid out like one of the most negatively reviewed, 502 00:30:59,079 --> 00:31:02,680 like just down voted thing. It was just wow, what a what a 503 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,599 what a stumble? But uh, I mean, I'm glad that they kind 504 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:07,480 of opened their eye. I don't know what the point of the decision would 505 00:31:07,519 --> 00:31:11,440 have been in the first place, but yeah, no, I'm glad they 506 00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:15,799 undid that change. But uh no, for for democracy they made that change. 507 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,519 Yeah, the joke of the game. What about what about? What 508 00:31:19,559 --> 00:31:23,240 about returnal? How's that going? Oh? Yeah, no I haven't. 509 00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:29,960 I haven' dabbled unfinished games. But genuinely, for all these I just really 510 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,759 want to hear your thoughts as you get deeper in them. So yeah, 511 00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,480 that was another one. Actually, Patron Tower was telling me that he had 512 00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,079 jumped back into and he said that he was he felt like he was pretty 513 00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:41,559 close. Did he co operate? It has co op, but they added 514 00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,799 co op at some point. Yeah, you're one hundred percent right, actually 515 00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:48,079 with the tower. Yeah, no, we really should. I don't know 516 00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:51,119 why we haven't linked up in that sense, but uh, there you go. 517 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,039 I got something to do now. But no, it was funny. 518 00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,000 He was telling me that he he felt like he was pretty much at the 519 00:31:57,119 --> 00:32:00,640 end of the game and then he finished what he was doing and it said 520 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:07,359 like act one, like he was like hours in and he's just like, 521 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,640 oh my god, Like I felt like I was really getting close to the 522 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,200 other there. But no, that it was a funny moment. He had 523 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,920 told me that. And when he was telling me about like he's enjoying me 524 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,480 of the game, that's where I was like, oh, that game is 525 00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:20,680 so good. I got to jump back in there. And I you know, 526 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,400 we had played some Call of Duty these last couple of weekends, and 527 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:28,200 h I was just kind of wanting like another shooter to just like just jump 528 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,319 into. I mean, of course I got hell Divers, but also just 529 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,359 maybe more single player one. I think I had uninstalled Maternal to make room 530 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,559 for Call of Duty, So that's probably why it wasn't on like my Duty. 531 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,759 I'm taking him too much room on that hard drive. Yeah, but 532 00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:44,880 I had popped on to my like my PlayStation catalog thing, just just to 533 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,160 see games that maybe I've been on the the wish list or something that I 534 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,559 haven't touched, and one on there that I kinda I don't know. I've 535 00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:54,039 never really played any of them. It's it's one of the I want to 536 00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:58,319 say, bigger franchises, but it's got history to it and all of the 537 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:04,319 titles are actually on PlayStation catalog. Is the Wolfenstein series, and I have 538 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,319 never played a Wolfenstein game, Like I know, they kind of date back 539 00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:09,400 to almost the Doom like era, Like I know, the earlier game kind 540 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,240 of looks. This looks and feels the same sort of way of the early 541 00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:17,720 Doom or Quake even kind of feels. And I've heard good things about the 542 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,720 newer ones, so I was like, hmm, that could be one that 543 00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,160 also isn't too much of a time commitment. I imagine those games are pretty 544 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,960 short and fast paced to kind of fire through. So that was one kind 545 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,799 of thing I was doing one of them in leading up to Indiana Jones because 546 00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:37,160 it's the same studio, So doing like a one episode retro of one of 547 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,200 the wolf Stegin games leading into that. So I'll keep you updated on you 548 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,960 should definitely join us. That'd be fun. Fun one. That's cool that 549 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,200 it's on playstage. I'm surprised that it's all there because that's like a owned 550 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,920 by Microsoft situation. They're all on game Pass too, so I guess they're 551 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,960 just widely available across the boarder. Yeah, that's awesome. No, I 552 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,200 uh, it's funny too because I when I went to the PlayStation store area, 553 00:33:55,759 --> 00:34:00,640 of course, because Fallout just completely popped off. The one show I 554 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,759 just decided to skip, ends up being like one of the better video game 555 00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:07,839 shows. But and like Fallouts, like I used to see on like my 556 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,519 steam list. I have like six friends right now playing Fallout, which is 557 00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:14,840 great. You know, Fallout's great. But there was actually a category that 558 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,719 said like post apocalyptic, and like the first game was Fallout, so it's 559 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,679 like if you want to get that vibe, and Wolfenstein was in that category, 560 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,880 which is interesting. Okay. I don't know much about the series myself 561 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,760 other than that Briggs is always kind of praised the game, so I didn't 562 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,840 know about that aspect of the setting. I always thought it was more just 563 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,079 like Nazi Germany sort of setting, but I'm sure it gets deeper and more 564 00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:37,960 interesting than that, right, Yeah, Like, I don't know. I 565 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,920 thought it was strange of like I guess just because it's kind of maybe Nazi 566 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,920 Germany controlled. It feels like an apocalypse happened, which would make sense. 567 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,800 But no, there's a lot of cool titles in there too, and like 568 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,039 Days Gone that's another one too that have just always eluded me. And just 569 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:55,159 talking about that last week, how we never got around to it but still 570 00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:59,280 want to. Yeah, and the last one. And I want you to 571 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,519 feel bad about this if you haven't gone back to it. I already know 572 00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:07,559 you're gonna say, acking, what's it call? Now? Oh no, 573 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:15,639 you don't tell me. I don't remember the name of it. I ends 574 00:35:15,639 --> 00:35:22,119 with a description. Okay, that's not You're gonna go see the Stars? 575 00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:24,840 Actually, Oh I was. I was going inscription. I was going going 576 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,239 inscription. Okay, No, yeah, there's another one. Yeah, you 577 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,800 do need to finish the Stars. I feel bad about both of those, 578 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,599 but no, I have not jumped down inscription since we last talked. Unfortunately, 579 00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:39,320 inscription shorter uh than See the Stars. So I think I just got 580 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,320 like my ass handed to me by a certain boss battle, and I'm like, 581 00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:45,519 I gotta recoup, make a snack, and yeah, the snack ended 582 00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:51,159 up being a month long hiatus. But yeah, okay, well there you 583 00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:53,559 go. In case you forgot about any of these games, you know how, 584 00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:55,920 they're back on your U. You need to do this, like I 585 00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,599 think every time I'm on here to like really like motivate me because it's like, 586 00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:02,199 oh my god, the teacher's gonna ask for my homework, so I'd 587 00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:05,400 better do my homework. You're you're gonna be asking. I will say you 588 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,119 nailed the assignment for Peach, like, oh yeah, I've beat the game. 589 00:36:07,159 --> 00:36:10,000 That that's the I'd love to hear that answer more often, but I 590 00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:14,280 mean I'll take it. Still. That's great. Absolutely. I mean, 591 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,079 relative to Travis and and Taylor, you do play a lot more games than 592 00:36:19,079 --> 00:36:22,800 they do on a week to week basis, so that's apreciate it. Yeah, 593 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,559 and last year probably the most games I've ever finished in my life, 594 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,000 all thanks to the Arcane Retro. Yes, great times and arcs Man. 595 00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:35,280 That's like one of the longest games to like. Yeah, and hard as 596 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,480 fun so so difficult to a game. Yeah, good stuff. There you 597 00:36:39,519 --> 00:36:43,920 go. There's there's Kirkland's games. When we we're gonna go do quick an 598 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,480 ad break, and when we'll get back, I'll share two games that I've 599 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:52,199 been playing. We'll be right back. Okay, we are back. First 600 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,079 up, this is gonna be an update from last week. By a chance, 601 00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:57,760 did you listen to last week's side quest once a gonna put you on 602 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,000 the spot here? No, I messed that episode well. Last week I 603 00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:07,199 shared with Travis that I picked up on sale and started playing the first Outlast 604 00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:13,960 ooh yeah, and I've since complete Outlast. I beat it and then I 605 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,400 went through and I also beat the DLC the Whistleblow whistl Yeah. Did you 606 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,280 play that as well? But I did it? Yeah? Oh yeah, 607 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,920 nice, I love that DLC. I'm gonna open up the spoiler gigates he 608 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,320 because I want to talk to you about some of the crazy stuff that happens 609 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,880 at the end of this game. So if anyone, if anyone cares about 610 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,880 spoilers for what twenty fifteen, you know, ten year old game, maybe 611 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,280 even longer. I guess he was twenty thirteen actually, because yeah, if 612 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,360 you guys were talking about back in the Target days, it must have come 613 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,639 out. I was in high school when I played Crazy. Okay, yeah, 614 00:37:43,039 --> 00:37:45,280 Wow, so well over a decade ago at this point. So yeah, 615 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,000 if you don't want to hear spoilers for Outlast, there's time stamps in 616 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,679 the episodes, so you can skip forward a bit here. But uh man, 617 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,880 the fucking end of Outlast is insane. I don't know how much how 618 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,840 vividly you remember it, Oh, very okay, good, because I was 619 00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:02,239 holding in one city and on our when I used to do my Sunday stress, 620 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,599 I guess that was more recently than that you played it. But when 621 00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:07,159 I was talking to Travis about it, he's like, I told Hi, 622 00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:08,920 I beat the game. He's like, oh, yeah, you got out 623 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,480 of the asylum there. I'm like, no, that does not happen at 624 00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:15,840 the end of the game. I did not get out of the asylum until 625 00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:17,199 I went into the DLC, and then you do get to go to this 626 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,679 islum, which is kind of a fun happy ending there. But yeah, 627 00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:23,679 it was. It was funny. It was like both it felt almost like 628 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,840 cliche, but then also like it was just a huge mind fuck. Like 629 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,440 the end of the game where you're going down that elevator you got the last 630 00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:32,440 key and then you're about to leave, and then the elevator just keeps going 631 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:37,119 down and down and you go into the underground hidden ice base and why that 632 00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:40,199 feels a bit cliches just I've been playing so much Resident Evil in the last 633 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,079 couple of years, and Resident Evil does that like all the time. There's 634 00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:47,360 always some underground hidden bass and it's always icy and like, so, you 635 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:52,159 know, I don't know when that trend started in a Resident Evil relative to 636 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,559 Outlast doing it here, but that was that was a crazy moment for sure, 637 00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:59,320 not one that I expected. And yeah, like everything that happens in 638 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,960 the last twenty thirty minutes is just like freaking crazy stuff and visually like such 639 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,119 a distinct difference too, which I really enjoyed. No, yeah, one 640 00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:08,920 hundred percent. I feel like the first time I play that game, when 641 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,079 you get to the point that, like you just said, like you're in 642 00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:15,119 like for the most of the game, you're in like a very fucked up, 643 00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:19,039 like broken down asylum, and then you go to this like area that's 644 00:39:19,079 --> 00:39:23,519 just like very clean and like yeah blood spots, yeah, no, Like 645 00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:28,400 it's just such a different esthetic than what like the mental asylum is up top, 646 00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:34,280 like it's it's like the science y laboratory and when you like really learn 647 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,800 kind of what the wall Rider is, it's just like, man, this 648 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,440 game was already so fucked up. Like yeah, like the first time they 649 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,880 first jump scare when there was like an actual ghost, Like it's just like 650 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,280 a random moment. It's not even like the ghost is like throwing some body. 651 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,920 It's just like, yeah, you're just outside and you just walk into 652 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,360 like some shed sort of thing and then it just like pops up right in 653 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,280 front of you. Oh man, that was yeah. Like I feel like 654 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,360 there's quite a few jump scares in the game, but that was one that 655 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,719 like legitimate, like made me, made me jump, It got me. 656 00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:06,800 Oh yeah, I know. I remember that very vivid outdoors when you're running 657 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,000 away from the wall Rider and like you can't really see it, like even 658 00:40:09,039 --> 00:40:12,280 with like the vision that you can kind of see the silhoul head. But 659 00:40:12,679 --> 00:40:15,119 it's just so terrifying because also up until that point you don't really even know 660 00:40:15,199 --> 00:40:21,199 what it is, Like you see the smoke or whatnot. But like like 661 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,800 I don't know, the big guy with a fucked up face, I understand 662 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,480 he's gonna fuck me up, but the ghosts, I don't know what's gonna 663 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,320 happen with that, I know, and it leaves you alone like multiple times, 664 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,760 so you're like, I don't know, is this thing friendly? And 665 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,920 then it's not. And of course you know lasi, you know, not 666 00:40:35,559 --> 00:40:37,519 actually fighting back. There's no combat in that way, so you don't really 667 00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:44,079 know how you're gonna interact with these things. But yeah, I think interesting, 668 00:40:44,199 --> 00:40:46,679 like I guess parts of the game, Like I felt like the AI 669 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:51,960 and Trials is like so much better on the enemies. Plus there's the element 670 00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:57,079 of you're being like thrown sometimes upwards of like seven or eight enemies are like 671 00:40:57,119 --> 00:40:59,719 in the level at a certain time, right, So it's even though you 672 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,320 know we're playing three or four of us and there's a lot of us to 673 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,840 spread around, it's still like a lot of enemies. So going back to 674 00:41:05,079 --> 00:41:07,800 last one, it's interesting that like at most you're only fighting like maybe one 675 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,280 guy, and by fighting, I mean running away, and then like at 676 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,760 that one point there's like those two brother kind of dudes and they will like 677 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,480 gang up on you. So it felt not quite as freaky as an experience 678 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,880 to go back to just after playing Trials, and even though Trials, like 679 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,360 you know, we're doing it with friends, so you're kind of laughing. 680 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,199 You have each other to keep, you know, the company. This is 681 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,840 much more just like that intimate experience, but still like the couple of moments 682 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,599 that really stood out to me were, uh, one, I don't know 683 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,039 the name of the guy. I'm tree. He has the name, but 684 00:41:35,039 --> 00:41:38,559 it's like the experimenter guy, and he's like he seems like he like saves 685 00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:40,440 the day for you. And then he like puts you in a wheelchair, 686 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,840 locks you up, and there's like that whole sequence and you're trying to escape 687 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,400 from him. And that was one of the sequences too, where like it 688 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,719 was really like most of the game was pretty linear and obvious, and I 689 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,920 actually moved through like really fast because it just like I kind of just knew 690 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,679 where to go instinctively, Like they do good job with the lighting and making 691 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,079 obvious where to go. But that section was really hard to figure out, 692 00:41:59,119 --> 00:42:00,440 Like where are the key? Was how I was supposed to get out of 693 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,920 here? Certain rooms are looking very similar, so I was getting lost a 694 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,800 lot. And yeah, very like tight narrow corridors and stuff. So that 695 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,599 was one and then the other section that like because for the most part, 696 00:42:12,639 --> 00:42:16,199 you know, playing Trials that game is so grotesque and disgusting and nasty that 697 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:21,360 this game felt like PG compared to the Trials. But then the sequence with 698 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,280 like the creepy guy who's like talking about marrying you and he's doing all these 699 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,840 experiences. Do you remember him from Whistleblower? Like that creepy like very small 700 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:34,000 bay guy. That section is disgusting and like, I don't know, I 701 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,679 feel like it probably eclipses any particular thing in Trials in terms of how nasty 702 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,440 and weird and creepy and uncomfortable feeling it is. So yeah, and that 703 00:42:40,519 --> 00:42:44,360 he has a very similar kind of mechanics where he's following you around during that 704 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,400 sequence, you like break your ankle so you're moving super slow even with full 705 00:42:46,519 --> 00:42:51,800 sprint. So yeah, those two sections like were the most intense for sure 706 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,719 of the experience. I feel like they really like turn up the grotesque level 707 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,320 like as they go on, because I remember even seeing some moments in out 708 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,199 Last two. I played it briefly, but also like watched a friend play. 709 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,400 I got that one on sale too, so I'm I don't know when 710 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,599 I'm gonna jump into it, but I'm excited for just the kind of different 711 00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:12,840 setting for it after playing the first and third game. Now, yeah, 712 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,480 no absolutely, but yeah no Tregger. That was that guy's name with the 713 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:22,239 scissors that cuts your fingers off, Okay from the first game there, and 714 00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:25,440 yeah, that section I remember kind of struggling at it for a little while 715 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,480 too, just just as you mentioned, like trying to see what you have 716 00:43:29,559 --> 00:43:32,760 to find. And I also just kind of found the area that you're running 717 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,639 around in like it is kind of a loop, like it's it's kind of 718 00:43:36,639 --> 00:43:39,079 a circle area. There's like a guy just like strapped to the bed that's 719 00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:44,679 kind of just like squirming and making noise. It's just like such a disturbing 720 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,960 sequence. And when he takes you like to the to the door to escape, 721 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,519 and then he's like, oh, let's not go there, and then 722 00:43:50,519 --> 00:43:52,400 he goes down the elevator and it's just like I'm never getting out of the 723 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:57,840 semi mm hmm. Yeah. And then I liked I thought Whistleblower was a 724 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,239 really fun way to expect on the story because you get like a little bit 725 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,840 more of a prequel, but then also you get more at the actual ending 726 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,159 instead of the kind of very cliffhangary situation. So I wonder if that's something 727 00:44:09,159 --> 00:44:13,960 that they had planned in advance, or if the game was just successful enough 728 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,239 that they were able to go ahead and make that DLC because of the success 729 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,679 of the game. I'm not too sure. But I liked the playing as 730 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,880 a different character, and I liked seeing parts of the lab and the asylum 731 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,679 like before it's completely gone to shit, and you're kind of seeing it go 732 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,599 to shit. You're seeing like the church burned down at one point, just 733 00:44:29,639 --> 00:44:32,400 being in the lab there doing that section and having this other character to play 734 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,119 as. And then yeah, like for a game like this, like I 735 00:44:36,119 --> 00:44:38,199 don't need a happy ending, but I will say that it was. It 736 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,719 was a cathartic feeling at the end of the game to finally exit the asylum, 737 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,280 have like a nice music playing, and like the Wallwrider almost gets you 738 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:51,119 as you like take you jump in the jeep from like the first character's perspective. 739 00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:54,159 But then to get out of there and like have that ending again where 740 00:44:54,159 --> 00:44:58,559 you send the email to like, you know, tell authorities about this all 741 00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:01,800 the crazy shit going on at this facility. It was. It was. 742 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,039 It was a nice ending. So I liked that as a kind of extension 743 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,920 kind of before and after the events of the main game. I thought it 744 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,400 was a good deal scene and it was like, yeah, less than two 745 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,599 hours long. I blazed there it pretty quick. So was it yeah worthy 746 00:45:14,599 --> 00:45:16,679 add on for sure? No, Yeah, that was that was one that 747 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,440 going into the DLC. Like I think the DLC came out probably within the 748 00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:28,079 year actually that it kept that it had come out, but like I just 749 00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:31,159 assumed it was going to be more levels or whatnot, but actually getting like 750 00:45:31,199 --> 00:45:35,360 the setup of you are the whistleblower, You're the one that's trying to like 751 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,920 release these things, and then they throw you into the asylum. Like it's 752 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,280 just such a fucked up scenario. It was six or seven months after the 753 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,320 game came out, Okay, Yeah, I'm pretty sure I picked it up 754 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,920 like as soon as it dropped, just because I jumped into the game a 755 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,639 little bit a little bit after it had actually released, and then of course 756 00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:57,400 powered through it and just loved it and was terrified of it. And I 757 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,960 think, up until that point is just the scariest game I'd ever played. 758 00:46:00,119 --> 00:46:02,480 And yeah, so got that DALC. And yeah, as you mentioned, 759 00:46:02,679 --> 00:46:07,119 I feel like I was expecting it to be a very dour ending just how 760 00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:12,159 like the original game does, and you feel like you're multiple times in the 761 00:46:12,159 --> 00:46:15,079 game you feel like you're finally gonna get out, and then you can get 762 00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:17,920 to the point that you you kind of shut down the program. Like the 763 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,239 big main beefy guy that's been chasing you, like he's been taken out by 764 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,880 the wall Rider, like like most of your enemies are done. And then 765 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,639 when those doors open up and those soldiers are right there with the guy, 766 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,119 like with the professor type guys, just like oh no, and then they 767 00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:36,239 light you up, and then of course the fucking wall Rider just comes out 768 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,280 of you. Like It's such an intriguing game, and it's one that like 769 00:46:40,679 --> 00:46:44,360 I think I've played through it maybe three or four times total now, and 770 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:49,840 I've just really appreciated maybe like the story on the second or third playing of 771 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,440 it, because I think the first time, like I really did not care, 772 00:46:52,559 --> 00:46:53,880 like I probably skipped all the cut scenes, like didn't read any of 773 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,119 the blueprints, just was trying to run for my life. But when you 774 00:46:57,119 --> 00:47:00,960 actually like read some of the blueprints and some of them are like case files 775 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,239 on like the enemies that are chasing you, like it's just I don't know, 776 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,320 it's it's really fucked up story, like all these Outlass games are. 777 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,280 But I did like reading not I read every single one of them, which 778 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,280 I don't do in many games, and there's not too too many of them, 779 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,679 but yeah, even some of my favorite games. At some point, 780 00:47:15,679 --> 00:47:16,679 I'm like, Okay, I'm just gonna pick this up, put it in 781 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:21,280 my glossary, and I'll I'll tell myself I'm gonna read it in the future, 782 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:22,159 but I never will. But I yeah, I actually took the time 783 00:47:22,159 --> 00:47:25,559 to read every every single one in this game. So that's a testament to 784 00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:30,079 the world building of it. Mm hmm, yeah, no, it's it's 785 00:47:30,159 --> 00:47:34,400 it's something interesting about these horror games in general that I feel like they're just 786 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,320 the surface is they're just trying to scare you and get you sweaty and get 787 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,719 the adrenaline pumping, but like, I feel like there's just such really interesting 788 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,519 stories that they could tell. And that's where I'm I'm I'm really compelled now 789 00:47:45,559 --> 00:47:47,000 to go check out the second one, because you know, I heard you 790 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,760 guys talk about it on our Outlast Trials review, but neither you or Taylor 791 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,079 really got too far in it, and especially now after playing this game and 792 00:47:55,159 --> 00:47:59,480 like being invested in the setup of it, and then like Trials, which 793 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,800 you know, less of a single player narrative game on more of like a 794 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,840 multiplayer fun game, but there's still lots of like, Wow, what's going 795 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,599 on here? Who is setting this up? How is this related to the 796 00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:10,960 first game, which I still don't even really have an idea of how that 797 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,880 is connected in the grander sense of things. But yeah, like I am 798 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,280 very curious to go to the second one after I just went on like the 799 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,599 Steam synopsis. It was just reading through, like Okay, what is the 800 00:48:20,639 --> 00:48:22,760 story set up here? And it seems like it's almost like an anthology sort 801 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,239 of thing, but I'm sure it still is established in this greater world and 802 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,119 there's gonna be some ways that's connected to the first one. Otherwise they would 803 00:48:29,159 --> 00:48:31,159 have just named it some other new game instead of out Last too, So 804 00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:36,719 I am I am excited to jump into that one and see how it all 805 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,679 connects, even though I played these games in a weird order three, one, 806 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:45,000 two, and then yeah, I also I didn't mention this I don't 807 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,039 think with Travis last week, but yeah, like the I think the movement 808 00:48:47,079 --> 00:48:51,119 of the game is a big part of why I really enjoyed it. Like 809 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,559 it's parkour E. It's like very linear and was like, if you're gonna 810 00:48:53,559 --> 00:48:57,199 climb on this thing, it's like that's a story moment where you're supposed to 811 00:48:57,199 --> 00:49:00,079 climb on this thing. Usually if you're climbing up somewhere shimming on a ledge. 812 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:04,159 But I just felt like it moved really nicely. I know it sounds 813 00:49:04,199 --> 00:49:06,960 like kind of stupid, but it just like for a game that doesn't have 814 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,159 combat, I think you need, yeah, the movement to feel really good, 815 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,760 and they definitely nailed that part of it. And obviously like the hiding 816 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,800 in different corners or lockers or underbeds, all that stuff works really well too. 817 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,760 So yeah, I just it's just a fun game to play through and 818 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,079 like it. It does feel very fast. I'm like sprinting so much of 819 00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:24,159 the time, and I don't know, you just get like this momentum to 820 00:49:24,199 --> 00:49:27,320 it that I do feel like it would be a really fun game to speed 821 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,599 run, which I don't think I'll ever do, but it was it just 822 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,760 even a certain moments felt like I was kind of doing that anyway. So 823 00:49:34,199 --> 00:49:36,480 yeah, and like just a nice clean pace, not too long, not 824 00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:38,920 too short. DLC like I mentioned like nice and breezy, so I had 825 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:44,079 a really really good time finding playing through it, and it maybe want to 826 00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:45,920 ask you, like because you always talk about this game, this is like 827 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,440 I feel like one of your favorite games, like probably in your top twenty 828 00:49:49,559 --> 00:49:52,519 five or something would be my guess. And then I feel like you haven't 829 00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:55,119 really ever talked about like other horror games, like I know you've talked about 830 00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:59,000 co Lot, the Great co Lot, which I did pick up and I 831 00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:00,840 do own it. I have it, I don't loaded, and I still 832 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,360 just haven't actually jumped into it, but like, what's up with that? 833 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,880 I feel like this game is so special to you and you jumped in the 834 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,280 second a little bit, jumped into Trials of course, But I don't know, 835 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,360 is there other series I'm missing of your gaming history that I just don't 836 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,119 know about or is it really just like for whatever reason, Outlast called to 837 00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:19,800 you, you played it and that was like you were good, you were 838 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,199 satisfied. Yeah, No, that's a It's a really good observation that you 839 00:50:22,199 --> 00:50:27,760 make, because I feel like even with like horror movies, like I I 840 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,840 love them, but they also scared me and like right, like if I'm 841 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,840 home alone, Like, like you're being bold these days, You're powering through 842 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,679 these resideval games. You're getting into the horror game mood. If I'm home 843 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:43,519 alone, it's like Friday night. No, Like inch of me wants to 844 00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:45,719 just boot up like a horror game, put on put on the immersive headphones, 845 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:50,280 and just turn off the lights and just be fucking terrified, like nothing 846 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:55,360 is calling to me for that. My my love of Outlast definitely came from 847 00:50:55,400 --> 00:51:00,760 the era of it was around the time like when Slenderman was kind of popping 848 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,360 off. Yeah, you know, find the eight Pages and I think mentioned 849 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,519 him already twice tonight, might as well make it three times. Patroon Tyler 850 00:51:08,159 --> 00:51:13,360 he was the one that showed me Slenderman and like he was like, oh, 851 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,079 you heard a Slenderman game? Like, no, what is that? 852 00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:16,280 He's like, I can't tell you anything about it. We're gonna download and 853 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,400 yeah, you're just gonna play it. And I feel like it kind of 854 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,360 evolved from that, like we maybe played that together, and then I think, 855 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,400 I like again with Outlast, like I never played it alone at the 856 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,400 beginning, like I always had him with me every time that thought I was 857 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,000 playing through the game I know that you're actually you're multiple playthroughs. Now it's 858 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,159 like, okay, well I'm familiar with it. I kind of know where 859 00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:38,159 the jump scares are. That makes sense. How it's like you're it's almost 860 00:51:38,159 --> 00:51:42,920 like a comfort game weirdly. Yeah, no, yeahsting comfort game all the 861 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,199 time, very much so, and like nostalgia effect too. But like I 862 00:51:46,199 --> 00:51:50,159 mean, I was just mentioning my my interest in the story. I was 863 00:51:50,159 --> 00:51:52,519 gonna say love. It's not so much a love for the story because it's 864 00:51:52,559 --> 00:51:55,719 so fucked up, but just interest overall for the world building that they're able 865 00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:00,480 to kind of accomplish here and like the whole Murkoff industries and what's going on 866 00:52:00,559 --> 00:52:04,760 with that. Like it's just I feel like it's just really rich with with 867 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,280 with material there, Like you could make so many movies just like surrounded about 868 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:13,119 that idea of the Mrkoff Institute and really what's yeah, as we talked about, 869 00:52:13,159 --> 00:52:15,559 like Trials is pretty much just saw like turned into the game. So 870 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:22,559 yeah, So I think like my attachment to that specific title, like it 871 00:52:22,679 --> 00:52:25,000 very much comes from just that era of where I was in my life, 872 00:52:25,039 --> 00:52:30,039 and it's a nostalgic thing to kind of look back on. But other like 873 00:52:30,159 --> 00:52:37,119 horror titles like it's funny you played an Amber game right, the first one, 874 00:52:37,159 --> 00:52:42,119 the Darkest Scent again the same situation, like playing it with friends around 875 00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:45,639 that Slenderman era, and uh just I don't know, it was fun to 876 00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:50,639 get freaked out with friends. I think we had like especially with Slenderman. 877 00:52:50,679 --> 00:52:52,199 I think it was one thing where like one person was on the mouse, 878 00:52:52,199 --> 00:52:57,360 the other person was on the w a SD and like it is so terrible, 879 00:52:57,679 --> 00:52:59,960 there's no way of winning, but it just makes it a little bit 880 00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:04,760 of a co op experience. But for games like I've played a little bit 881 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,159 of The Resident Evils, like some of the early ones on like early PlayStation, 882 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,840 but didn't get far at all. I think I just got too scared, 883 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,519 and then when it got to a scary part, I would just like 884 00:53:13,559 --> 00:53:16,280 turn it off, not not even pause the game, just like hit the 885 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:21,119 PlayStation turn off button. You go from there. I think the other like 886 00:53:21,159 --> 00:53:25,880 franchise that I've been really interested in and have somewhat been especially now like later 887 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:30,599 in life, I've always been a little bit remiss, remiss, a little 888 00:53:30,599 --> 00:53:35,400 remiss. I think it's a word that I didn't really get the chance to 889 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,400 fully jump into is the Silent Hill series. That's another one too where I've 890 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,760 just I don't know if YouTube algorithm or something just popped up, but it 891 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,440 was just like a whole breakdown of like a c like Pyramidhead, like that 892 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:51,840 one character, and it's just such a fucked up and like weird type of 893 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,639 character. And I was watching like a video on the guy that like like 894 00:53:54,679 --> 00:53:58,599 the artist for it, and he was breaking down like the shapes of the 895 00:53:58,599 --> 00:54:01,639 pyramid Head and how like the fact that it's like sharp on all sides just 896 00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:06,239 like emphasizes agony because like it can't be comfortable to wear, and it's just 897 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:12,119 like adding to that grotesqueness of it and just something about it. It's probably 898 00:54:12,119 --> 00:54:15,639 the same thing with with the whole Mrkoff floor, or like when I watch 899 00:54:15,679 --> 00:54:19,480 a horror movie like The Hereditary. I love that movie so much, and 900 00:54:19,519 --> 00:54:22,639 I've loved it so much more the more times I watch it because I'm just 901 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:27,119 catching little details, yeah, or like just like like the whole thing with 902 00:54:27,159 --> 00:54:30,880 the Pagan Demon and like like just the things that tie together. Like I 903 00:54:30,039 --> 00:54:34,599 think there's just so much more than what's on the surface, and I think 904 00:54:34,639 --> 00:54:37,440 it's it's like an intrigue thing where I want to know more, not so 905 00:54:37,519 --> 00:54:42,199 much for the gameplay or getting spooked, just just an intrigue about it. 906 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,719 So for horror franchises, yeah, like I really haven't fully dove it, 907 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:51,159 like the one I've probably played the most, just because of there's so many 908 00:54:51,159 --> 00:54:54,559 different games. Might be Resident Evil because you played some of seven as well, 909 00:54:54,639 --> 00:55:01,920 Yeah, yeah, exactly, So yeah, it's a it is a 910 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,119 funny one now now I'm playing through it because it's like, yeah, a 911 00:55:05,159 --> 00:55:07,199 lot of these games really are action games, and they might have like a 912 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:12,280 scary moment or two, but yeah, a lot of them are just like 913 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,800 more kind of cheesy action movies. So it's kind of it's but then yeah, 914 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,719 go to something like seven and that's like straight up a horror movie with 915 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,679 very little action to it. So I think they they kind of come and 916 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,000 go uh in that way. But yeah, I don't know. It's it's 917 00:55:24,039 --> 00:55:28,280 been fun time trying to get more of these games with Yeah, all the 918 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,239 Resident Evil games recently. Amnesia the Bunker last year was like such a cool 919 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,639 game. I love the mechanics of that game. Alan Wake two last year 920 00:55:35,679 --> 00:55:37,800 was obviously a big deal, so Yeah, it's it's been fun, fun 921 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:43,079 jumping back into this space and excited to uh play through the third out Last 922 00:55:43,079 --> 00:55:45,639 game here or I guess the second, which will be then my third one. 923 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:49,599 So when you're playing these, are you doing the setup of three volume 924 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,320 you know, like the speakers or you got the crappy headphones on. Yeah, 925 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,760 I definitely don't. Like. Yeah, I have the distinct memory. 926 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,920 I've shared this before on the podcast of the original Alum, and that was 927 00:56:00,199 --> 00:56:02,920 when I played in high school. I'd only play it, yeah at night 928 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:07,719 when it's dark alone, headphones on, loud as fuck, and scare the 929 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,519 hell out of myself. I don't really do that anymore, Like I I 930 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,360 because I want to play these games and I want to enjoy them. I 931 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,920 just I don't know, I get I get too like freaked out if I 932 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,360 cut myself too much in those spaces. So when I'm playing out Last, 933 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,679 like, I'm just playing out whatever time of day, I just want to 934 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,760 play video games. So sometimes it might be in the afternoon when it's light 935 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:29,079 out, might be at night too, volumes not too loud, don't have 936 00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:30,920 the headphones on, MUDs might be in the background in the room. She 937 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,960 might not be It's it's really just if it's in my gaming time, whichever 938 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,639 time that ends up being, I might jump into it. So it really 939 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,760 kind of depends on the games. But I feel like I'm not intentionally trying 940 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,800 to spook myself too much these days. I think maybe with Amnesia, I 941 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:50,119 did try and play it at more freaky hours alone with the louder music and 942 00:56:50,159 --> 00:56:53,199 stuff, but I'm not necessarily doing that with every game these days. Yeah, 943 00:56:53,639 --> 00:56:55,400 that's what I got to pick and choose my battles, you know, 944 00:56:55,599 --> 00:57:00,440 absolutely, there you go, There's there's Outlast. The game I wanted to 945 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:07,159 provide an update. Four is Blotro, which I have over sixty hours. 946 00:57:07,159 --> 00:57:12,400 Ind I've been That's a solitary game, right, This is the poker game. 947 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,840 This is the po poker game or the poker roguelike. Yeah, no, 948 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,960 I mean this has like been my game for the last I guess like 949 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,199 a month at this point since I picked it up, and then like, 950 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,800 yeah, I played like throughout Last, been like dabbling other things the Odd 951 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,039 Call of Duty or Outlast Trials with you guys, but other eys, it's 952 00:57:29,119 --> 00:57:32,440 just like I just want to play Blotro, Blochro all day long unlocking all 953 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,360 this stuff. It's just one for me where it's like you know, you 954 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,039 have all You're unlocking all these different decks, which is like the different kind 955 00:57:38,039 --> 00:57:42,119 of starting presets for your run, so to speak. And so I'm like 956 00:57:42,199 --> 00:57:45,079 unlocking all those and getting up the difficulty levels for them is just a satisfying 957 00:57:45,159 --> 00:57:47,280 like check box of like, oh, I just got a new run and 958 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,800 got this new unlocked. Here. The achievement list on Steam is really fun. 959 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,159 So I've been just going through trying to knock out certain things which make 960 00:57:53,239 --> 00:57:57,239 you kind of force you to play in weird and interesting ways and try different 961 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,639 builds. But I finally now I've unlocked all the base or all the decks 962 00:58:00,639 --> 00:58:05,480 that you can get. I think there's fifteen of them on and then there's 963 00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:07,559 like eight levels of difficulty that you can beat with each deck, which that's 964 00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:10,800 like too much. I'm not gonna do that with every single deck. But 965 00:58:12,079 --> 00:58:14,960 on the one deck that has been like the one that I've found the most 966 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,920 satisfying, I've now beat that on the highest difficulty. So I got that 967 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:23,719 Steam achievement, which feels good. And so now I think I'm I'm almost 968 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:28,199 like I feel like I'm about to wind down on it because there's there's also 969 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,199 these challenge runs as well, which is just crazy. There's so much content 970 00:58:30,239 --> 00:58:34,000 in this game. So I think I'm gonna go through do the challenge runs, 971 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,639 and then at that point, I guess I just unlocked the last few 972 00:58:37,679 --> 00:58:39,800 cards I haven't used yet, which I think I only have like three or 973 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,599 four more jokers, and then I think I've seen like almost everything else. 974 00:58:43,639 --> 00:58:46,719 So I'm almost that at the end of it, there'll be two Steam achievements 975 00:58:46,719 --> 00:58:52,480 I won't have because two of them are like completionists Completeness plus and then Completeness 976 00:58:52,519 --> 00:58:55,960 plus plus, which just what the Completeness plus plus is like you have to 977 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,519 get. You have to win with every single joker on the highest difficulty, 978 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:06,519 which would just take like at least twenty to thirty successful runs. And that's 979 00:59:06,519 --> 00:59:09,639 assuming that's like with that's assuming you're not getting duplicates jokers, which is not 980 00:59:09,679 --> 00:59:13,320 gonna happen some of themself, you're not gonna use them. It's like that 981 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,760 that just seems like ridiculously oppressive to try and complete that achievement. So maybe 982 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,159 in a few years, like I'll just do a run every once in a 983 00:59:20,159 --> 00:59:22,280 while and eventually get that achievement, but I'm more so I'm gonna leave those 984 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,320 last two achievements behind it, just do the rest of the challenge runs, 985 00:59:25,559 --> 00:59:29,000 get a win or two with each of the decks, and I think I'll 986 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,199 be good on it. But yeah, it's like so much variety, so 987 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,960 fun. They there was a big new patch that came out for it, 988 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,199 like last week. I think that did a bunch of balanced changes, made 989 00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,079 some other cards kind of almost give them like new effects in a way. 990 00:59:40,159 --> 00:59:44,239 So there's a little bit more of a random kind of content drop there, 991 00:59:44,239 --> 00:59:46,119 and I don't really know what other sort of content is planned for it, 992 00:59:46,159 --> 00:59:50,719 but just such a fun game, such a great roguelike in which it's hard 993 00:59:50,719 --> 00:59:53,320 for me to find a roguelike usually, but when I do find one that 994 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,280 I love, it's like, you know, like a splunkie buying Isaac into 995 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,599 the breach, like when they hit, they hit for me. It's one 996 01:00:00,599 --> 01:00:04,320 of my favorite genres. But yeah, they don't all have that same effect 997 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,119 for me, So I'm glad that it landed with Blotros been a It's my 998 01:00:07,199 --> 01:00:10,840 game of the year so far, and I honestly might be surprised if anything 999 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:15,599 beats it at this point, just because sixty hours of like loving this game, 1000 01:00:15,039 --> 01:00:17,159 I don't know, it's gonna be hard to beat that at this point. 1001 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,599 I hope to see some other games try. But yeah, it's been 1002 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,159 just a great time. So big recommendation on that twenty bucks well spent. 1003 01:00:24,239 --> 01:00:30,880 I'll tell you that you definitely got your money's worth with the amount of hours 1004 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,519 you got into it. I can't imagine the game was too expensive. Yeah, 1005 01:00:34,639 --> 01:00:37,599 yeah, I think twenty bucks or so. Yeah. I think it's 1006 01:00:37,639 --> 01:00:40,039 taught me a lot about different poker hands. I feel like I know forever. 1007 01:00:40,119 --> 01:00:44,440 It's like I played poker so infrequently we did recently on Afronin, which 1008 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,519 is fun. I played so infrequently that I just can't remember, Like what's 1009 01:00:46,519 --> 01:00:50,840 a full house? I don't know. Now I feel like the values of 1010 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,559 them and what cards they take and all this stuff, I feel like I'm 1011 01:00:53,719 --> 01:00:57,719 proficient in now. So this game has taught me a little bit about that, 1012 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,159 hopefully. So you're gonna be highest you'd be like, can't we putting 1013 01:01:00,159 --> 01:01:04,000 money on this now? No. I've literally never been to a casino. 1014 01:01:04,079 --> 01:01:07,000 Well, I have been a couple of casinos, but not to actually play 1015 01:01:07,039 --> 01:01:09,360 games just because like I was going through a casino to somewhere else. So 1016 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,719 I don't think. I don't think I have any issues there, but yeah, 1017 01:01:13,719 --> 01:01:16,400 there you go. Botro great games, super fun and yeah, like 1018 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,280 I said, I think I'm winding down on it, which feels feels good 1019 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,039 because I need to do some other stuff, you know, I need to 1020 01:01:22,039 --> 01:01:24,280 play some other games. Man, you reminded me when you're talking about achievements. 1021 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,920 There is a game that I know we both played that I booted up 1022 01:01:29,159 --> 01:01:34,079 very briefly on Saturday. I think it was because I just saw it it 1023 01:01:34,519 --> 01:01:37,039 randomly on my library and then I just peered over at the achievements list. 1024 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,760 There's achievement on there that says don't play the game for five years, and 1025 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:45,639 that game is Stanley Parable. I saw it. I'm like, what was 1026 01:01:45,639 --> 01:01:47,159 the last time I played that game? It was like twenty thirteen. I 1027 01:01:47,199 --> 01:01:50,880 think, I'm like, man, let's boot this up and then the achie. 1028 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,679 Of course, right away, I got that achievement and just did like 1029 01:01:52,679 --> 01:01:55,239 like a quick little run, you know, to the role credits. There's 1030 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:59,320 many different ways to achieve that any game, but just going through it and 1031 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,880 have the narrator veer me in different directions. It's just like, what a 1032 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,840 special game this was? Actually? Yeah, did you hear about the like 1033 01:02:06,199 --> 01:02:09,039 super Mega Deluxe version that they released like last year or two years ago. 1034 01:02:09,519 --> 01:02:13,480 I saw it like just on the page, like when I went to my 1035 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,599 library there, but no, I didn't know exactly what that was. And 1036 01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,559 he just added like a bunch of new endings and new content and stuff to 1037 01:02:19,639 --> 01:02:22,280 it, and uh, and I think a big part of it. So 1038 01:02:22,519 --> 01:02:24,599 I didn't play it, but I just heard that it was very on the 1039 01:02:24,639 --> 01:02:30,559 nose in terms of kind of making fun of like parodying games and DLC and 1040 01:02:30,599 --> 01:02:34,159 doing updates for things. That's funny. So that makes sense that, you 1041 01:02:34,199 --> 01:02:36,679 know, Like I think at some point it's just a big sign that's like 1042 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,079 new content through this door, isn't he just like walking through a door to 1043 01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:42,840 go access some of the new stuff. So I think that would be pretty 1044 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,840 cool at some point. I'll check that out when I have the itching to 1045 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,440 go back to that game. Yeah, I think that's that's the way to 1046 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,960 do it, through that new version, which I don't know how much it 1047 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,599 adds, but I think probably a decent amount to go back and get your 1048 01:02:52,639 --> 01:02:55,519 fix for it? Yeah? And was it? Uh? Was it super 1049 01:02:55,639 --> 01:03:00,599 super limital super liminal? Yeah? Is that the one that you mentioned was 1050 01:03:00,719 --> 01:03:04,320 somewhat similar to that sort of idea? Or am I totally in the wrong 1051 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:08,039 wheel? Yeah? I mean I guess it's a fourth wall the sort of 1052 01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:10,800 game. It's more of a puzzle game. I guess Stanley Parable is, 1053 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,480 But I don't even know Stanley Parable. What a genre would you call that? 1054 01:03:14,519 --> 01:03:19,159 Would you call it a puzzle game? Walking sim, narration sim something? 1055 01:03:19,719 --> 01:03:22,719 Yeah, just a joke. It's just a joke, joke generator, 1056 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,880 I don't it's a joke. Yeah. Super Leminal is much more of a 1057 01:03:27,039 --> 01:03:31,239 puzzle ass puzzle game. Okay, yeah, it's okay. It's no Stanley 1058 01:03:31,239 --> 01:03:36,239 Parable. Okay mm hmm uh Okay, there you go. How about we 1059 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,800 take our next break and we'll get back and talk about some Marvel Snap pull 1060 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:46,159 right back. Okay, we are back. Uh So, another game that 1061 01:03:46,199 --> 01:03:50,920 both of us have been playing is Marvel Snap. What is your ritual for 1062 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,000 this game? Do you play every day? Do you play a few times 1063 01:03:52,039 --> 01:03:54,599 a week? Do you jump in a couple times a month? What's your 1064 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:59,880 current status with it? I had taken a little bit of a hiatus. 1065 01:04:00,039 --> 01:04:01,679 I think at the start of the last battle pass, like the one that 1066 01:04:02,039 --> 01:04:06,559 just ended. I can't remember if it was the Thunderbolts one or before that. 1067 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:14,280 Which one was before that its versus x Men, I think, or 1068 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,760 it had Hope Summers that had they added war Machine, they added Pixie. 1069 01:04:18,199 --> 01:04:20,719 See I don't even really remember that one actually, Okay, so that was 1070 01:04:20,719 --> 01:04:24,199 what I might have just jumped out for. I might have just missed that 1071 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:29,039 whole era of that battle pass. But no, I was playing I think 1072 01:04:29,159 --> 01:04:32,000 last week, maybe two weeks ago. I jumped in again, not really 1073 01:04:32,039 --> 01:04:35,679 like daily, but like I would boot up and just kind of do I'm 1074 01:04:35,719 --> 01:04:42,599 happy for you that you aren't addicted to the Daily Crid like some other unnamed 1075 01:04:42,639 --> 01:04:47,159 people. Absolutely, I feel like it goes in waves though, like maybe 1076 01:04:47,199 --> 01:04:49,400 if I get a new card and then I make a new deck, like 1077 01:04:49,519 --> 01:04:53,280 with it, I just can't put the game down, like yeah, I'm 1078 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,639 like cooking and doing it, and then I'm like, oh, I can 1079 01:04:55,639 --> 01:04:59,039 totally multitask with this game, and maybe I'm watching something that I haven't looked 1080 01:04:59,039 --> 01:05:01,719 at in forever because I'm really focused on my current my current hand that I'm 1081 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,480 doing, but uh no, this last week, I feel like I haven't 1082 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,480 been addicted to it, but I've definitely played every day a couple of hands 1083 01:05:09,519 --> 01:05:13,679 here and there. And I mentioned you off cast that I feel like I 1084 01:05:13,719 --> 01:05:15,559 gotta I didn't mention this offcast. I feel like I have to change my 1085 01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:20,400 Spotlight key cash strategy. Whereas I you know, I'm I'm a player that's 1086 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:25,000 pretty new to it, Like there's still a lot of cards that I haven't 1087 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,599 come across in it, So it's like anytime I get it, I kind 1088 01:05:27,599 --> 01:05:30,760 of just open it right away because I pretty much don't have any of the 1089 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,960 cards in the cash anyways. But man, there's been a couple of times 1090 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,639 where I've cashed in my my key and then like the next Spotlight cash that 1091 01:05:36,719 --> 01:05:40,960 comes out is like a car, you know, and it's not guarantee I'm 1092 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,719 gonna get the card that I see that I want. But it's like I 1093 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,280 wish I had like two keys right now to just spam on this one, 1094 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,320 like like this is some good stuff or maybe even like a cool variant of 1095 01:05:48,599 --> 01:05:51,440 a card that I do use in there, and it's just like, ah, 1096 01:05:53,039 --> 01:05:55,679 I think I got to hold back a little bit on my key usage. 1097 01:05:55,679 --> 01:05:58,400 And I've realized that on the most recent one, because I of course 1098 01:05:58,519 --> 01:06:01,719 told you this offcast, but no I had I think it was Noll. 1099 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:09,599 Blob Valentina maybe was the third one. Yeah, So I was really hoping 1100 01:06:09,719 --> 01:06:13,440 for Nol just because I've been wanting to get him because I really like those. 1101 01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,519 I guess just the decks that he can synergize with really well, like 1102 01:06:17,559 --> 01:06:21,119 a destroyed deck or something that's probably been my most played destroy or a move 1103 01:06:21,199 --> 01:06:26,400 deck has been probably my most played that I've ever done, not necessarily just 1104 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,880 the one deck, but like variations of that sort of style. And I've 1105 01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,760 always been wanting to add Nol to my list. And I saw him on 1106 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:36,159 there, I'm like, I'm fucking grinding for this. I'm totally gonna get 1107 01:06:36,199 --> 01:06:40,800 him. I did it as soon as I hit the button. This is 1108 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:44,280 probably not true, but in my mind, the second I hit the button, 1109 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,239 Blob just like popped in my brain. And then that was the one 1110 01:06:46,239 --> 01:06:48,360 that I got. And I'm like, fucking kidding me. I knew it 1111 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,760 as soon as I hit the button. I knew it was gonna be Blob 1112 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:54,760 and that's who I got. Yeah, I was so mad at myself. 1113 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,880 So I'm still on the search for NOL. And of course the cash just 1114 01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,760 reset. I don't know what it was right now. Yeah, no, 1115 01:07:01,159 --> 01:07:08,079 I mean the Spotlight cash system, it's good and it's bad. I think 1116 01:07:08,119 --> 01:07:10,639 it's it's one of those things where like since they added it, like the 1117 01:07:10,719 --> 01:07:15,039 rate at which you get new cards is vastly improved. That is like, 1118 01:07:15,199 --> 01:07:18,840 that is true unless you necessary unless you kind of maybe play it like you 1119 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,559 a little bit and just kind of take a chance on a gamble. It 1120 01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:24,519 sounds like in this case, no matter what, you would have got a 1121 01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:28,239 new card. So that's great. That's the case every time that I've used 1122 01:07:28,239 --> 01:07:30,880 it. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's good. I think for 1123 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,760 some people where they maybe have the two other kind of older cards and they 1124 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:39,360 just want the new one and they only have one key and they drop their 1125 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,280 key on it, like, do not do that. That is not like 1126 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,800 that is just gambler's fallacy right there. That's not worth it. Ultimately, 1127 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,880 the best way to work with the system is build up four keys and then 1128 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:54,079 when there's a week where there's in your case, I would say like wait 1129 01:07:54,159 --> 01:07:57,280 until there's a week where there's three cards. You don't have and then there's 1130 01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,800 always that kind of random slot too, which for you is probably gonna be 1131 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,000 a lot of them right now. And so for you, it's like it's 1132 01:08:01,039 --> 01:08:03,519 good valley if you say, what with those four keys, If you're aiming 1133 01:08:03,559 --> 01:08:08,320 for NOL, you have four keys, at some point you will get null 1134 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,599 and maybe maybe hopefully you get them on your first pull, and then you've 1135 01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:14,199 saved the three keys and you can save those for a week that you actually 1136 01:08:14,239 --> 01:08:16,520 care about more. But let's say it does take you all four to get 1137 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,319 null, Well, at least you've got two other new cards along the way, 1138 01:08:19,319 --> 01:08:24,079 plus maybe that that fourth hidden slot, which is can be tokens or 1139 01:08:24,079 --> 01:08:26,479 it could be a new card, depaining on where you're at with it. 1140 01:08:27,119 --> 01:08:30,560 So for me, at this point, like I have so many cards that 1141 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,640 very rarely do does a week have three cards that I don't have? It 1142 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:39,960 just doesn't really happen that often. This coming week is two cards I don't 1143 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,039 have, like the new card, and then Kara, I think is her 1144 01:08:43,119 --> 01:08:46,239 name's like the the whole actually have her so fine, right, It's funny 1145 01:08:46,279 --> 01:08:48,439 how it works out, Like I think that's kind of their intention, is 1146 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:53,760 that people will have different collections I think that's something they want in terms of 1147 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,319 balance of like people will have different decks because they have different compositions they can 1148 01:08:57,359 --> 01:08:59,279 make. So yeah, I don't have that card that you have, even 1149 01:08:59,279 --> 01:09:01,199 though I have, you know, like fifty more cards than you do or 1150 01:09:01,239 --> 01:09:04,199 something like that. But that's just how the system works. So I think 1151 01:09:04,239 --> 01:09:08,359 I will be I have four or five saved up right now in terms of 1152 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,960 keys, and I think I'll use them this week because it's pretty efficient for 1153 01:09:11,079 --> 01:09:13,560 me to do so on this week, and we'll see what that mystery slot 1154 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,119 gives me. But then, like the rate at which it like if you're 1155 01:09:16,119 --> 01:09:20,119 playing every single if you're doing your dailies every single day for an entire month, 1156 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:26,800 you'll get essentially one key every week is how it works. So essentially 1157 01:09:27,199 --> 01:09:30,840 that system I just mentioned, you'll only build up four keys over the course 1158 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,119 of an entire month, which is like it becomes a lot, and then 1159 01:09:33,199 --> 01:09:36,199 you know, you will get lucky sometimes maybe you'll get that first pull null 1160 01:09:36,239 --> 01:09:40,239 and then you can save those three keys for you you've kind of almost like 1161 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:44,119 I don't know, gained the efficiency of multiple weeks because of that. But 1162 01:09:44,199 --> 01:09:45,520 then other weeks it's not going to be that way because it is a gamble 1163 01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,399 at the end of the day. So it's it's not a great system in 1164 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,000 that way, where for me it usually ends up being that I don't get 1165 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:55,520 a new card for like a month, but then in the course of a 1166 01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,039 week or two, I'll get like five new cards or something. So I 1167 01:09:59,159 --> 01:10:00,760 wish it was a bit more drip feed where I could get a card every 1168 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,960 week, but because of the randomness of the system, it doesn't really make 1169 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,279 any sense for me to drop one key every week that I'd be getting every 1170 01:10:08,319 --> 01:10:11,239 week to try and get like the new card or a card I don't have. 1171 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,199 It just doesn't really work like that. So yeah, it's not a 1172 01:10:14,279 --> 01:10:16,880 great system. And I feel bad for you with NOL because that's a character. 1173 01:10:17,239 --> 01:10:19,680 I think that might be the most common card that's popped up in the 1174 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:24,079 spotlights since they added that system. For whatever reason, they just have all 1175 01:10:24,119 --> 01:10:26,600 these noull variants that they want to give out, so they just keep having 1176 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,840 them in there. The other thing too, that like because of the system 1177 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:32,840 as just mentioned, where it takes like a month, like you can look 1178 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,199 up like on the website here there is this is like data mine, So 1179 01:10:36,239 --> 01:10:41,439 it's not one hundre percent confirmed content, but like there's data mind content here 1180 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,760 up until the spotlight of the first week of August, so you can really 1181 01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,319 plan ahead, oh, in terms of like what the spotlights are going to 1182 01:10:47,359 --> 01:10:51,880 be for I mean in the in the weekly or I guess every month when 1183 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:55,600 the update for the new season, they'll show you what the spotlights are going 1184 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,600 to be for that month. But yeah, this goes like out sometimes three 1185 01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,920 months in advance. Wow, so you can really plan it. You can 1186 01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:01,960 be like, Okay, I'm gonna hold my keys for the week of like 1187 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:08,279 June third, you know. And for some people that's gonna completely tearing off 1188 01:11:08,279 --> 01:11:10,720 from playing the game because like I don't want to have to wait a whole 1189 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,399 month and I have to play this time level up to get the cards I 1190 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,680 want. But that's just kind of how it is. You kind of got 1191 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:17,520 to play the game if you want to be the most efficient with how you 1192 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,279 get cards. Now, if you don't care as much and you just want 1193 01:11:19,319 --> 01:11:23,479 to mess around, then do whatever the hell you want. But that's kinda 1194 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,800 that's kind of how it works. So it's it's I don't know, there's 1195 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,319 pros and cons to this system. Then there is tokens on the side where 1196 01:11:29,319 --> 01:11:31,279 you can just buy cards outright, but like, it takes so long to 1197 01:11:31,279 --> 01:11:35,119 get six thousand tokens to bet get a new card, and very rarely are 1198 01:11:35,159 --> 01:11:39,279 they dropping cards from like the tiers, so most of them are gonna be 1199 01:11:39,319 --> 01:11:43,039 six thousand tokens. Eventually they do drop them down a three thousand each, 1200 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,640 but they do that so infrequently that it's like not really something you can count 1201 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:50,760 on, which is unfortunate, and then that's it, or just buying the 1202 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,199 season pass then you get that one new card every month. So that's that's 1203 01:11:54,279 --> 01:11:56,840 kind of the three ways to get cards. I guess. Once you're series 1204 01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,279 three complete, which I think you are now right or not, actually there's 1205 01:12:00,279 --> 01:12:03,960 your store is still there's still quait, so you get you also get your 1206 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:09,039 monthly free card. Yeah, which obviously Noel would not pop in there because 1207 01:12:09,039 --> 01:12:13,119 he's not a series three hours remaining fifteen hours remaining until I get it, 1208 01:12:14,279 --> 01:12:16,760 so tomorrow I can jump into that, but right now I'm pretty like religious 1209 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,760 with that, even when I'm not playing, like I'll pop in there just 1210 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,840 to make sure that I am like min Max in my collection on there. 1211 01:12:23,319 --> 01:12:26,319 There's been there's been some really great cards that I've gotten throughout it, and 1212 01:12:26,359 --> 01:12:30,600 it's it's funny. There's certain like cards that maybe like months ago, I'm 1213 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,399 like I want that card so bad, like like please give me that card. 1214 01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,920 I think Spider Man twenty ninety nine like that that was one of them. 1215 01:12:38,319 --> 01:12:40,760 Got it, had it on like one deck. I really liked it, 1216 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,000 and then I was just like, I'm not really feeling like this this 1217 01:12:43,119 --> 01:12:45,880 deck right now. Have you used him since they changed him, changed his 1218 01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,279 stats? I don't think so. No, because originally he was a four 1219 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:54,600 six I think, and now he's a five to nine, so he costs 1220 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,199 one more but he has nine power now Okay, No, I actually have 1221 01:12:58,359 --> 01:13:02,079 not added try again because he's a card that the community still insists is really 1222 01:13:02,159 --> 01:13:04,880 bad. And I think that the unfortunate part about him, because I when 1223 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,119 I read the card description, was like, oh, that's a cool ability, 1224 01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,119 but I thought it meant that like every time he moves to a location, 1225 01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:13,560 just like the first time he moves out, he would get a kill. 1226 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,199 But it's only the first time he moves at all, so you only 1227 01:13:15,239 --> 01:13:17,319 get one proc of it. But now that he's a five to nine, 1228 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:21,279 it's like even if you're hitting a bad card that only has like two power. 1229 01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:25,119 That's still like a five eleven if you think about it, like that's 1230 01:13:25,119 --> 01:13:28,479 a that's pretty damn good stats for a card. And since he's less than 1231 01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,800 ten, he can't get hit by shung chi, which is really great. 1232 01:13:31,239 --> 01:13:35,000 So I actually think he's really good. I think he's very underrated. I 1233 01:13:35,039 --> 01:13:39,119 think Move as an archetype is like one of the weaker ones, So in 1234 01:13:39,159 --> 01:13:41,840 that way, it's like his ceiling is going to be a bit lower. 1235 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,560 But since you're a move it sounds like you're a move fan. Uh, 1236 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:46,600 you should definitely check him out again, because I have him in almost every 1237 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,560 move deck I use. I think he's really fun and he's a surprise. 1238 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,720 No one expects him, no one sees him common either, So sometimes if 1239 01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,279 someone has a solo like character in a lane, you can just get a 1240 01:13:57,319 --> 01:14:00,079 guaranteed kill on the potentially a really good card. So yeah, out No, 1241 01:14:00,319 --> 01:14:03,560 I'll definitely try it out. I feel like I do really like the 1242 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:08,960 move arctypes, but it's I think I just kind of overdid it too much, 1243 01:14:09,039 --> 01:14:12,840 Like I just I didn't love the whole planning of like where I'm going 1244 01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:16,319 to be putting my my cloak character, like it's a harder archetype than almost 1245 01:14:16,359 --> 01:14:21,439 any other type and really really location dependent. Oh absolutely, and especially like 1246 01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:27,079 certain locations can just destroy your whole strategy. That's when you just retreat, 1247 01:14:27,159 --> 01:14:30,239 like right at the start of the match. It's think there are a lot 1248 01:14:30,279 --> 01:14:34,760 of good like I feel like destroy and move have like the most locations that 1249 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:40,279 are relevant to them specifically. But yeah, with a move as well, 1250 01:14:40,359 --> 01:14:44,079 like sometimes you just really need all that extra space to make your combos happen, 1251 01:14:44,119 --> 01:14:46,079 and it just you'll just get screwed over by all sorts of things. 1252 01:14:46,159 --> 01:14:54,720 So yeah, yeah, it's always so it was. Yeah, and like 1253 01:14:55,239 --> 01:14:58,039 just like the other Spider cards too, Like those are ones that I'm I'm 1254 01:14:58,079 --> 01:15:00,159 still in the pursuit for. I mentioned, well, I guess Nol's kind 1255 01:15:00,199 --> 01:15:03,479 of a Spider character, not not so much, but I guess like like 1256 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,279 go Spider, you know, Spider Gwen, Like I really want that card. 1257 01:15:06,319 --> 01:15:10,159 I still don't have her. Silk is another one, just because I've 1258 01:15:10,319 --> 01:15:13,039 I've learned a little bit more about that character Dove into the comics, So 1259 01:15:13,159 --> 01:15:16,000 I really want to get Silk just for just the just the I don't even 1260 01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,920 know what her card is, but I just want to have her to my 1261 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:21,479 collection. Uh, Spider Man, I have miles now, I think that's 1262 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:26,520 one that I got. I might have used my tokens actually for that one. 1263 01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,439 That one like popped up and right away I snagged him. I haven't 1264 01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:33,199 used them too much since, like even like his what's it called his like 1265 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:38,359 level like it's still gray or whatever, Like I haven't really leveled at at 1266 01:15:38,359 --> 01:15:41,319 all, like the what's that called the booster Bordle? I guess, yeah, 1267 01:15:41,399 --> 01:15:45,119 the boarder. So yeah, I'm kind of just wanting to collect my 1268 01:15:45,159 --> 01:15:46,960 Spider characters, not necessarily use them, but I feel like if I have 1269 01:15:47,399 --> 01:15:50,239 just all of them, I would probably just use the Spider deck and go 1270 01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:55,920 that route I have kind of I usually have a couple move decks that I 1271 01:15:56,039 --> 01:15:59,359 like to jump between, like one more but like moving my own cards, 1272 01:15:59,399 --> 01:16:02,000 and then I do like a deck based around like moving my opponent's cards as 1273 01:16:02,039 --> 01:16:05,359 well. Who do I have in my current Like I do have Spider Man 1274 01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:09,159 ninety nine, Go Spider, I mean iron Fist is going to be like 1275 01:16:09,199 --> 01:16:14,600 in every move deck pretty much. Craven Kingpin, Well, you do use 1276 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,640 Kingpin a I've never used them before. I I guess he really goes for 1277 01:16:18,119 --> 01:16:23,119 him at one point two, so he he might be different than what you 1278 01:16:23,279 --> 01:16:27,000 remember his ability to be when an enemy card moves here afflicted with minus two 1279 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,600 power and he's a two three. So they did change his ability at something 1280 01:16:31,239 --> 01:16:34,800 to kill cards on turn six, That's what I thought. Yeah, so 1281 01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:39,920 here's a bit more. He's kind of like the opposite of Craven now okay, 1282 01:16:40,399 --> 01:16:43,159 yeah, but it can you can and it only hits enemy cards, 1283 01:16:43,159 --> 01:16:45,439 which is nice, so even if you're moving into your own you're not going 1284 01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,000 to get deep buff there. So so yeah, I like, uh, 1285 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,479 I like using different ones like that. And then I like Phoenix Force, 1286 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,920 which I'm guessing you don't have, but that's a very fun I too have 1287 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,720 Phoenix for sell you do. That was one that I had got like right 1288 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,319 away because I was super pumped on it, and I'm like, this doesn't 1289 01:16:59,319 --> 01:17:01,439 fit any deck, like any cards that I have. I don't know how 1290 01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,000 to best utilize this. I don't know what would you do for Phoenix Force. 1291 01:17:04,079 --> 01:17:08,159 So Phoenix Forces is a fun card because it is kind of a hybrid 1292 01:17:08,239 --> 01:17:12,760 between like a destroyed deck and a move deck, which is a fun hybrid 1293 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,680 to have. But the thing with Phoenix Force is you get you revive a 1294 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:19,640 card and then you can move every turn. So there's kind of three cards 1295 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:24,119 that really benefit from that. One is Human Torch because every time Human Torch 1296 01:17:24,199 --> 01:17:27,439 moves, yeah, doubles his power plus with Phoenix Force. When he revives 1297 01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,720 Human Torch, you'll be at seven power, so you start with seven, 1298 01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,239 and then you if it's in theory, if you do that on turn four 1299 01:17:33,279 --> 01:17:38,199 because Phoenix Force costs four, next time you'll move that will be aut fourteen 1300 01:17:38,399 --> 01:17:41,199 power, and then after that up to twenty eight, so that can be 1301 01:17:41,319 --> 01:17:44,640 really really good if you pull that off. The other one would be Multiple 1302 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,840 Men. If you move him every turn and he has eight power from the 1303 01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,279 Phoenix Force, that's just eight power you move in once you've moved it once. 1304 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,520 Then you have two of them on the map too, so you can 1305 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:57,000 move them and just get all sorts of power. And then I don't know 1306 01:17:57,039 --> 01:17:59,960 if you notice, but they change Dagger at some point too, where she's 1307 01:18:00,119 --> 01:18:02,399 now two zero, but she gained three power every time she moves, so 1308 01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,920 if you put her with the Phoenix Force or she gets yeah, three power 1309 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,800 for each enemy card at a location so she can get if there's four enemy 1310 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,239 cards somewhere, you just get twelve power and you can just move her multiple 1311 01:18:13,279 --> 01:18:15,520 times as well. So the deck is pretty much I have those three in 1312 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,840 there. I have Ghost, Spider and Human Tors just to or sorry go 1313 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:24,920 Spider and Iron Fish just to get cards moving. I have Carnage and Venom. 1314 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,000 So the idea is on turn one or two you're gonna play Dagger multiple 1315 01:18:29,039 --> 01:18:32,119 men or Human Torch and then kill them on turn two or three with Venom 1316 01:18:32,199 --> 01:18:36,399 or Carnage, whatever one you draw, and then turn four Phoenix Force and 1317 01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:39,800 then just start popping off. And then in that one I do have Spider 1318 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:43,119 Man twenty ninety nine as well, just as another backup option. You're never 1319 01:18:43,159 --> 01:18:46,600 gonna revive him with Phoenix Force, but more maybe I can get a kill 1320 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,359 off with them on turn six. Then I also really like having Do you 1321 01:18:49,399 --> 01:18:53,880 have task Master? Yes? I do, because he works really well too. 1322 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,399 Where Phoenix Force spawn that in, get that twenty eight power of Human 1323 01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,920 Torch and then just copy that twenty eight powers. Now I have twenty eight 1324 01:19:00,279 --> 01:19:03,600 two. I'm really good Taskmaster before. Yeah, you're inspiring me here. 1325 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,800 I feel like I'll send you this deck. Listen, you don't have Ghost 1326 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:11,000 Spider and you don't have Nico either, right, No, Nico's another one 1327 01:19:11,039 --> 01:19:12,960 I really want to get. But then you have the rest of this deck, 1328 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,119 so you can you can do a couple of weeks. You could probably 1329 01:19:15,119 --> 01:19:17,359 throw like Vulture in there, hey, because Vulture doesn't he get like plus 1330 01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:20,319 five when he moves. I think, yeah, so he'd probably have a 1331 01:19:20,359 --> 01:19:25,439 bit of a lower ceiling than than Dagger, multiple Man or human Torch. 1332 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,439 But worst case scenario, I got that plus. Even if you like use 1333 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,000 the Phoenix force on someone else, you're still gonna be playing cards five, 1334 01:19:30,199 --> 01:19:32,640 turns five and six, and so Vulture could be a good one there. 1335 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:35,439 And I guess you could throw Home Doll in there if you want, as 1336 01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:39,920 a turn six finisher. That's been like my, that's been my crem to 1337 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,840 the cram on my. He's the classic go to, and I think there's 1338 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:47,079 kind of better plays usually for a move deck, but he's still just he's 1339 01:19:47,159 --> 01:19:50,560 so uncommon now. He was like very popular early on, but now there's 1340 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,560 so many other move cards that I feel like people moved away from him, 1341 01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,800 So now he kind of like becomes kind of an Underdog pick again. So 1342 01:19:58,159 --> 01:20:00,600 I'll send you this deckless, but you should use it because nix Force is 1343 01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,319 a really fun kind of move sub archetype there that I've I've found a lot 1344 01:20:03,359 --> 01:20:06,840 of success with and people it's pretty uncommon, like people don't really see it 1345 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,479 coming either. Yeah. The only thing you really have to be careful of 1346 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:15,960 is when you play Human Torch if your enemy, if your opponent plays kill 1347 01:20:15,039 --> 01:20:18,119 Monger, that can just ruin your day because obviously you do want human tors 1348 01:20:18,159 --> 01:20:20,880 to die once and then get revived. But if they play like a late 1349 01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:25,319 a game kill Monger, that's like retreat territory. So that's the only risky 1350 01:20:25,359 --> 01:20:28,880 thing. But then then again you have Dagger and multiple men as like the 1351 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:30,960 other potential ones you can play, and those ones will not get hit by 1352 01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:34,319 kill longer. So yeah, really really fun deck. Really like that one. 1353 01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:38,960 Oh that's awesome. Yeah, You're You're definitely inspiring me. Here they're 1354 01:20:39,319 --> 01:20:43,359 here. I got a couple of cards that i've When I first saw them, 1355 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:45,720 I was like, I can't wait to get those cards, And now 1356 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:47,319 that I've had them, I feel like I've never used them at all, 1357 01:20:47,359 --> 01:20:51,119 and they just don't fit and like maybe I just have certain cards that I 1358 01:20:51,239 --> 01:20:55,239 need to like acquire, like really make them worth it. Like Thanos is 1359 01:20:55,279 --> 01:20:59,960 one I've been wanting to get ever since I got that Caira type character because 1360 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,199 she makes it so one synergy, Yeah, one and six are like immortal, 1361 01:21:03,319 --> 01:21:06,880 but yeah, you know, utilize all those Infinity stones. But I 1362 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:11,600 don't have Panels unfortunately, so I haven't used her too much. I had 1363 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,119 her kind of an experimental deck. I think I was talking to you guys 1364 01:21:14,119 --> 01:21:15,800 about it on the discord where I had like Nick Fury with her because he 1365 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,479 could just call in these six costs that and that's where I'm getting, like 1366 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:28,439 like she Hulk and and almost call him scroll scar the other six costs that 1367 01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,840 you don't. Yeah, yeah, exactly, And like it's kind of like 1368 01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,560 a gamble deck because I'm like really depending or it's really dependent on who I 1369 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,520 acquire, but it makes it pretty fun in that sense. Yeah, that 1370 01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:41,359 one I think with her too. Another deck is just like a they call 1371 01:21:41,399 --> 01:21:44,399 it like a Zoo deck, which is essentially like a bunch of one cost 1372 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:48,199 cards and then like have Kazar and Blue Marble in there because they buff. 1373 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:53,319 I mean, yeah, Kazar Buff's the one cost blue Marvel gives everyone plus 1374 01:21:53,399 --> 01:21:55,359 one power. Yeah, and it's kind of just about like you want to 1375 01:21:55,399 --> 01:21:57,199 have twelve cards on the field by the end of the game. You just 1376 01:21:57,239 --> 01:22:00,640 want to have a ton of people out and then she helps keep them alive. 1377 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,640 So that's kind of a nice, uh potential synergy there. Yeah, 1378 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:08,560 no, absolutely, Oh yeah, that's what I was so running the Accuser, 1379 01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:12,279 that's one that I really wanted to get. I think it was like 1380 01:22:12,359 --> 01:22:14,880 the twenty four hour stream or something when I had asked you, I'm like, 1381 01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:16,760 what's the point of master Mold? Like why would anyone want master Mold? 1382 01:22:17,039 --> 01:22:19,600 And then you had told me of running the Accuser, and yeah, 1383 01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:23,199 I really want to try that. I have master Mold and run the Accuser. 1384 01:22:23,239 --> 01:22:25,880 And I'm still just like, ah, I don't know, I don't 1385 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:27,920 know if I'm gonna make a deck with those characters. I feel like I 1386 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,960 don't have a lot of other like supplemental characters that go well with them. 1387 01:22:31,199 --> 01:22:35,560 But do you have? You have Maximus? No, Okay, So every 1388 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:39,399 time i've I've looked up and he's a really good one. I think Maximus 1389 01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:42,640 is like on the recommended and yeah, because he's like, you know, 1390 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,760 giving two cards to your opponent really good. But he also has six power 1391 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,000 and he's a two cost, especially if you can play that on the last 1392 01:22:48,079 --> 01:22:54,520 turn, that's really good. And then what's his name? Who's the doctor 1393 01:22:54,560 --> 01:23:00,359 Strange guy who's like in Multiverse Madness any like drugs, Doctor Strange? Baron 1394 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:03,479 Mordo? Yeah, yeah, Baron Morto. Do you have him in your 1395 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,680 collection? I do, I've never really used them. Yeah, So he 1396 01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:13,279 works well in that kind of deck as well. He makes your opponent draw 1397 01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:17,039 a card, but then it changes the cost to six, so can make 1398 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,680 can It's it's one of those ones where like you're never really gonna see when 1399 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:25,920 it works well, right because your opponent's just not going to play that card. 1400 01:23:26,039 --> 01:23:28,600 So it's like it's one of those ones like Iceman as well. Like 1401 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,880 Iceman, I imagine in my mind, is like one of the best cards 1402 01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:35,279 because it just screws over your opponent's ability to like conveniently get cards out, 1403 01:23:35,359 --> 01:23:39,800 messes up their plans. But like you'll very rarely see the card that you 1404 01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,239 actually hit, so you don't really know for sure, like if you screwed 1405 01:23:43,279 --> 01:23:45,119 them over. But yeah, he works well in that kind of deck. 1406 01:23:45,119 --> 01:23:48,439 But yeah, master Mold is like essential with thrown in, So if you 1407 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,279 have him, yeah, that's good. And then I guess I would just 1408 01:23:51,359 --> 01:23:56,960 recommend like like if you can do master Mold and then hit master Mold again 1409 01:23:57,119 --> 01:24:01,680 with absorbing man who copies like on reveals or like doubles and on reveal or 1410 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:06,479 like even an odin or something like that like makes that effect hit multiple times. 1411 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:10,800 That can be really strong Ronan as well, like Ronan turned five into 1412 01:24:11,039 --> 01:24:15,920 a what's his name? Task master once again turned six if like your Ronan 1413 01:24:16,039 --> 01:24:19,800 just has a ship ton of power can be a really nice combo as well. 1414 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,560 So not the potential there, Yeah, I know, great, great 1415 01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:27,399 advice. I'm gonna keep going down these cards that I've just never touched. 1416 01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:32,560 Super Scroll, Yeah. I mean that one's really luck dependent on like if 1417 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:36,079 your opponent has good I usually avoid those cards, the ones that are like 1418 01:24:36,159 --> 01:24:41,119 really dependent on something like even like I just unlocked Rogue, which I was 1419 01:24:41,159 --> 01:24:44,880 thought was gonna be really exciting, and like what she just copies beyond she 1420 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:49,960 steals a she steals an ongoing from the opponent idea, and like like super 1421 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:56,119 like like hard counter decks too, that like really focus on countering maybe an 1422 01:24:56,159 --> 01:24:59,520 on reveal or an ongoing deck. Like I'm just like, I don't know, 1423 01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:01,560 I I don't really want to run that gamble. Usually it's like, 1424 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,640 okay, you have a deck that maybe only requires like ten cards, and 1425 01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:09,560 you have a couple extra like kind of quote unquote flex spots, and that's 1426 01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:12,680 where you put in those what are kind of called like tech cards that are 1427 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,239 kind of just good all arounders. But yeah, I've I very rarely used 1428 01:25:16,239 --> 01:25:20,600 super Scroll. But you know, if your opponent plays ah iron Man or 1429 01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,880 something like, it can it can be super powerful. But yeah, if 1430 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:27,359 your plays none and then you just are sitting there twiddling your thumbs the whole 1431 01:25:27,399 --> 01:25:30,359 time, I mean really good actually against an opponent playing and null, if 1432 01:25:30,359 --> 01:25:33,319 you can copy that effect and just get a ton of power on him, 1433 01:25:33,399 --> 01:25:38,279 that can be pretty nice. So yeah, because it removes the effect right 1434 01:25:38,319 --> 01:25:41,199 from the other. No, he just copies it. Rogue steals it. 1435 01:25:41,359 --> 01:25:45,039 Okay, rogues, he copies it, and Enchantress kills all all the effects. 1436 01:25:45,119 --> 01:25:49,479 Yeah, mister negative, I've tried to dabble into making a negative deck, 1437 01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:53,079 but that's another one. I'm like, I need null, I need 1438 01:25:53,159 --> 01:25:56,119 null in there for the Uh, he's very specific. Yeah, like you 1439 01:25:56,239 --> 01:26:00,640 kind of need you need like Zabu and like I Lock and Ravona in my 1440 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,600 opinion, because they all have Yeah, they'll all let you get him out 1441 01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:08,640 on turn three, which just makes it like so much more efficient to get 1442 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,560 an extra draw of like the really powerful cards. So yeah, if you 1443 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,520 don't have, like, yeah, you're gonna have all three of those cards. 1444 01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:16,439 You're not even you're only ever gonna play one, but you just need 1445 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:20,119 all three just to increase your chances so that one's more finnicky. And they've 1446 01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:25,000 changed some cards recently that worked well with him, so he's uh, yeah, 1447 01:26:25,039 --> 01:26:27,399 he always kind of comes and goes. It's a fun archetype though. 1448 01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:32,159 Yeah, when I was really excited to get X twenty three added her, 1449 01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:36,079 and I feel like most of the time, like I don't, I kind 1450 01:26:36,119 --> 01:26:41,199 of kind of substitute her for like different cards. I don't know if it's 1451 01:26:41,319 --> 01:26:45,399 just because I get more value out of the other ones, like to me, 1452 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,239 like like the best version of those cards, whether it's like saber Tooth 1453 01:26:48,279 --> 01:26:51,239 Wolverine, her is Wolverine. In my opinion, I just feel like he's 1454 01:26:51,359 --> 01:26:55,960 just the most effective. I feel like a lot of the time when I 1455 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,399 get that extra energy from her, like it's just I don't know, it's 1456 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,399 it's I don't really feel the be put anywhere exactly. But like Wolverine, 1457 01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:04,079 you know, if if he gets destroyed, it dis carded like multiple times, 1458 01:27:04,119 --> 01:27:06,640 like right away, like you're starting to rack up pretty quickly. So 1459 01:27:08,199 --> 01:27:11,840 really liked him, And yeah, I think with with X twenty three, 1460 01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,079 I think one of the main like I mean just generally having extra power in 1461 01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:19,520 general can be uh useful in all situations. But I think the primary like 1462 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:25,199 really strong interaction is if you can use it on I guess like get her 1463 01:27:25,239 --> 01:27:28,960 hit on turn four so that on turn five you could play Noll the six 1464 01:27:29,079 --> 01:27:33,199 cost and then I'll turn six hit Nol with Arnamzola and duplicate two nools out 1465 01:27:33,239 --> 01:27:36,439 on the board. That's like the ideal situation. So I feel like that's 1466 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:40,279 where one thing that can be really great for her is the ability to kind 1467 01:27:40,279 --> 01:27:43,199 of play two six cost cards in a game, But that also is very 1468 01:27:43,199 --> 01:27:45,199 dependent on like getting the right draws and the turn order and stuff. So 1469 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,840 I usually would throw her in there, but I have not played much Destroyer 1470 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:53,279 in the last few months. It's been not necessarily my my top archetype. 1471 01:27:53,359 --> 01:27:57,560 So but yeah, she's she's cool, it's fun. A couple more I 1472 01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:00,359 wanted to ask you about was Arrow. That was another card I was really 1473 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,880 looking forward to getting. I think she was like one of like the first 1474 01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,399 like icons that you just have unlocked like in the game, and I'm like, 1475 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,399 what character is this? This looks cool, and then I just never 1476 01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:12,520 had the card, got the card. She's like a five to nine I 1477 01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:16,640 think five to nine and moves the last played enemy card to her location. 1478 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,279 Yeah, kind of like a magneto effect a little bit, A little bit. 1479 01:28:20,359 --> 01:28:24,920 Yeah, She's just she's very underwhelming. I yeah, Like the idea 1480 01:28:25,119 --> 01:28:28,079 is if you have like you know, you have a craving out there, 1481 01:28:28,119 --> 01:28:30,560 you have a kingpin out there, you can drag a card into your lane, 1482 01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:32,720 you can screw someone over. I just I think there's just better cards 1483 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,399 at this point, Like she's kind of an older one, and someone like 1484 01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:39,720 Cannonball, who came out recently, has like a similar effect that's just like 1485 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:44,439 better in almost every situation her. It's like, I don't know, it 1486 01:28:45,079 --> 01:28:47,840 needs to do something like a guarantees a movement on a card, because sometimes 1487 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,359 you just play it, and I don't know, someone will play this card 1488 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:55,960 at the same location as her, and so like her ability just does nothing, 1489 01:28:56,119 --> 01:28:59,520 So she's kind of underwhelming. I think she could use an update or 1490 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:01,680 change personally, so I wouldn't worry too much about her in your in your 1491 01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:05,520 move decks, i'd try and make if you're looking at five nine, I'd 1492 01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:09,840 go for twenty ninety nine over her for sure. Okay, good to know. 1493 01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:13,960 I think that was old. I had to double check because he just 1494 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,600 sick Cannonball, I thought for a second eight on long. He's very new. 1495 01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:17,760 He came out like three weeks ago or okay, something like that, 1496 01:29:18,319 --> 01:29:21,960 so you probably he was in that X Men Avengers season so you probably did 1497 01:29:23,039 --> 01:29:28,039 not see Okay, yeah, unfortunately missed him. What was the last two? 1498 01:29:28,079 --> 01:29:30,520 Oh? Yeah, for like the Goblin debt, Like the Goblin cards, 1499 01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,640 I've always wanted to, like try with them, but I don't know, 1500 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:38,039 I've never never really attempted. Have you had any success with those ones? 1501 01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:42,359 Yeah? Give them a negative card? Yeah, I think they have 1502 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:46,880 their uses for sure. I really like I really like them. I mean 1503 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,840 they're really great with galactis, that's like their primary thing. But I feel 1504 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:55,399 like that kind of became a bit too obvious whenever you would be going for 1505 01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:59,319 that sort of strategy. And I feel like there's very risky now because whenever 1506 01:29:59,399 --> 01:30:01,520 a NYE Nihilis I think is his name, whenever he came out a few 1507 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:06,479 months ago, he sends all cards with zero or less power from your side 1508 01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:10,359 of the board of the opposite. So if you spent turn three and five 1509 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:14,359 sending over a green Goblin, Hobgoblin, if your opponent plays an Nihilis, 1510 01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:18,000 they just send him right back, so that that card is just common enough 1511 01:30:18,079 --> 01:30:20,920 that like, I don't really think they have much of a place right now 1512 01:30:21,039 --> 01:30:25,159 until there's like some other sort of counter to that. And Nihilis is like 1513 01:30:25,199 --> 01:30:27,760 a very strong and in my opinion, quite annoying card. Maybe I just 1514 01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,000 don't have him some salty when he gets played against me, But yeah, 1515 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,640 I think there are some potential uses for him. Usually it's just like some 1516 01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:38,359 some decks really want to fill up the whole board. They just need space, 1517 01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:40,880 and so if you can throw cards over there that are getting in your 1518 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,920 opponent's face, that can be uh, pretty annoying at times. So yeah, 1519 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,920 they're they're they're decent, But I think they're maybe a little bit weaker 1520 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:51,000 right now just because of the popularity of an Nihilis. Yeah, that's fair 1521 01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:55,800 that you got too, Sorry, go ahead, go ahead. Last two 1522 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,319 really quickly. One of the most recent when I got was Silver Samurai, 1523 01:30:58,359 --> 01:31:00,840 which I thought was great because I was gonna I was just about to ask 1524 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:05,920 you do you discard? I really love discard decks. Actually, my my 1525 01:31:06,079 --> 01:31:11,079 current one that I'm running right now is is a discard deck? Who's God 1526 01:31:11,159 --> 01:31:14,760 in it? I actually just realized Silver isn't in here. I don't know, 1527 01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:20,119 maybe I was experimenting. I had there's a weird this is a weird 1528 01:31:20,159 --> 01:31:24,640 deck. Maybe I just made this one. Uh, I Blade Morbius, 1529 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:31,079 Wolverine, Swarm, Gambit, Lady Sif, Lady c sword Master, uh, 1530 01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:35,800 Jubilee, ghost Rider, Apocalypse, Magneto, and the infanat I think 1531 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:43,079 the Infanut pick is for Jubilee, probably yeah, or discard it and then 1532 01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:45,239 pull it back with ghost Writer. I guess, yeah, yeah, no 1533 01:31:45,399 --> 01:31:49,119 exactly. And this one I've actually I think I just tweaked this last night 1534 01:31:49,119 --> 01:31:54,199 because I was I was trying to just really optimize the discard. I find 1535 01:31:54,239 --> 01:31:57,199 it just a little bit more consistent than what I was trying before. But 1536 01:31:57,479 --> 01:32:00,119 uh, you know, I I really like discard decks, but I got 1537 01:32:00,199 --> 01:32:02,880 to throw Samurai back in here. Yeah, Samurai Samurai because it sounds like 1538 01:32:03,079 --> 01:32:08,920 with that deck he'll very consistently hit Swarm, which is great. Also, 1539 01:32:09,119 --> 01:32:13,239 I mean X twenty three could be a good addition to that one because she'll 1540 01:32:13,359 --> 01:32:16,159 very often get hit by Samurai, and that's like a nice consistent effect to 1541 01:32:16,199 --> 01:32:19,199 be able to hit like that would be once again that kind of synergy of 1542 01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:25,159 turn four, play Samurai hit her, and then turn five you could play 1543 01:32:25,199 --> 01:32:28,600 six cost card if you I don't think what you had in finn On and 1544 01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,640 what are the other six costs? Did you have any other ones in there? 1545 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,960 Magneto and Apocalypse, right, So yeah, I guess Magneto would be 1546 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:38,479 a good potential turn, but you probably want a more discard to him and 1547 01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,800 then spawn him back, right yeah ghost Rider, Yeah, yeah, that's 1548 01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:45,720 the ideal. Yeah. I really like Silver Samara. Plus he screws over 1549 01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:47,560 your opponent too, so I think it's a it's a good two for one 1550 01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:50,000 in that way. So yeah, I really I like him. I like 1551 01:32:50,079 --> 01:32:53,720 him more than Moon Night, who he's you know, very similar to moon 1552 01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:58,079 Night's ability, but just a bit more consistent. So he's definitely my main 1553 01:32:58,239 --> 01:33:04,600 discard deck for sure. Would you take out Morbius out of this more strong 1554 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:08,840 of a character really good? Yeah, Morbius, what is it? Two 1555 01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:11,600 power for each discard that you've done, so, yeah, he's he's a 1556 01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:15,760 two zero but plus two for each each time you discarded a card. Yeah, 1557 01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,239 you don't have Modoc. Eh No, I don't have Modoc. Yeah. 1558 01:33:18,319 --> 01:33:21,600 I For me, that was like, I don't know that that felt 1559 01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:25,960 like the moment I was looking for in discard. I did not really play 1560 01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,840 that archetype like at all in the first few months of me playing, But 1561 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,840 then when I got Modoc, it like unlocked all these different possibilities. He's 1562 01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:39,079 so he's just so good. Be able to hit like a apocalypse and swarm 1563 01:33:39,199 --> 01:33:41,840 on turn five and get a bunch of stuff for a big turn six is 1564 01:33:42,159 --> 01:33:45,039 really satisfying. So yeah, that's that's what I'd recommend when you get him, 1565 01:33:45,039 --> 01:33:47,439 to put him in there. But no, I think I think Morbius 1566 01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:51,560 is a really really good one to have in there for you. If anyone, 1567 01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:58,039 I would maybe take out Gamba, maybe just I would maybe, Yeah, 1568 01:33:58,159 --> 01:34:02,800 maybe Magneto actually because you're I don't know, you're almost if you want 1569 01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:05,520 those like high power cards that you're gonna try and discard and then revive, 1570 01:34:06,079 --> 01:34:10,640 that make me works more better with like a Hella deck sort of style. 1571 01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:15,279 I don't Yeah, that's that's a missing piece as well. But I'd maybe 1572 01:34:15,319 --> 01:34:16,239 take him out, but I don't know who I place him with right now. 1573 01:34:16,279 --> 01:34:19,760 I thinking about who you have unlocked right now. You mentioned Gambit. 1574 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:24,199 Why would you take him out just just because the consistency, You don't know 1575 01:34:24,279 --> 01:34:28,079 who he's going to discard, and that can sometimes be unfortunate. I mean, 1576 01:34:28,119 --> 01:34:30,079 once again, you do have ghost Rider in your deck, so maybe 1577 01:34:30,119 --> 01:34:32,279 it's actually not much of a problem because if you discard someone that you wanted, 1578 01:34:32,359 --> 01:34:35,680 then you can just play ghost Rider next turn. So maybe, uh 1579 01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:39,600 yeah, maybe if you've got Ghostwrider, you could leave him in there. 1580 01:34:40,399 --> 01:34:44,119 I guess for me, it's just Gambit, like the randomness of it that 1581 01:34:44,159 --> 01:34:46,520 if you're only going to get one hit, it's like, ah, it's 1582 01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,560 usually a pathetic takeout too, like maybe I'm taking a fucking squirrel or something, 1583 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:54,199 right, Yeah, exactly, you might hit a rock or a squirrel 1584 01:34:55,119 --> 01:34:59,319 and that can be unfortunate, and then they wanted him in there because X 1585 01:34:59,359 --> 01:35:00,199 min ninety seven, and I think I was just like, oh, yeah, 1586 01:35:00,279 --> 01:35:02,239 I've never had Gambit on a deck. We got to get him in 1587 01:35:02,279 --> 01:35:04,880 here. But yeah, with the prominence, Like I don't, I feel 1588 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:08,760 like at least half the games I play right now or against Destroy decks, 1589 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:12,640 they're just everywhere in this like last month or so. So I feel like 1590 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,920 that's also one of those things where you just oftentimes you might just be helping 1591 01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,640 your opponent if you smack right, yeah, yeah, smack a Wolverine or 1592 01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:21,079 a I don't know, X twenty three or something like that. I mean, 1593 01:35:21,159 --> 01:35:25,399 you could hit a venom after he's been juiced up too, so that 1594 01:35:25,399 --> 01:35:28,600 could be pretty useful. But just that's a good potential risk there, So 1595 01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:30,960 I don't know. I mean, that's one of the situations if you're playing 1596 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:32,039 against a destroy player, you just not play him in that game, you 1597 01:35:32,039 --> 01:35:34,880 know, keep him in hand, play someone else. So yeah, I 1598 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:40,960 hope he gets discarded instead. Lady Desk Strike that's another pretty recent character that 1599 01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:45,920 I am added to my to my Destroy deck. I found her really effective 1600 01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:49,560 because there's quite a few times when because what is it it's minus yeah three 1601 01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:54,159 three or lass is who she takes out. And there's been times when, 1602 01:35:54,399 --> 01:35:59,359 especially like I'm usually running death in that deck. That was I think a 1603 01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:03,000 series three that I was able to acquire and great addition, great addition might 1604 01:36:03,039 --> 01:36:06,680 destroy decks. I really enjoy that card. But I was, yeah, 1605 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:11,560 I was. I was bummed that they they changed her recently. I think 1606 01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:15,000 her new effect probably is maybe a bit more consistent, but before it was 1607 01:36:15,119 --> 01:36:17,920 just like, I think she was a five four five five. I forget 1608 01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:21,520 what her exact statline was, but it was like she'll she'll kill anyone who 1609 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:26,520 has less power than her. So it was similar to the effect that is 1610 01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,720 now. But with that one is like I would often boost her power up 1611 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:31,439 to be some higher number. Oh wow, I could get it up to 1612 01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:34,640 eight or nine and then just destroy all these people. And that was so 1613 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:39,680 satisfying and it worked really well for me. Where now I just feel like 1614 01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:42,159 she's maybe a bit too niche. But I also haven't really tried the new 1615 01:36:42,399 --> 01:36:45,880 version of her, so maybe maybe I gotta try her out again. I'm 1616 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,079 just still salty that they changed her. I hate when they change a card 1617 01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:51,960 like they did this with Crystal too. We're very under used card, like 1618 01:36:53,079 --> 01:36:56,840 no one's using them, but I have like a very niche used for it 1619 01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,600 where it works really well for me. But then because no one's using the 1620 01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:01,319 card, that change it. But then they changed into some other ability that 1621 01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:03,720 like no one really cares about her uses anyway. So I'm like, what 1622 01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:06,399 are you even doing here? Just let me, let me live, let 1623 01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:11,720 me use the card that I'm excited to use, even if I'm maybe in 1624 01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:15,159 the my small minority of card people actually having use with it. Man, 1625 01:37:15,199 --> 01:37:17,960 that was like me with America Chavis. I feel like I haven't used her 1626 01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:23,279 once since the change. She Yeah, she was like the lynchpin of my 1627 01:37:23,359 --> 01:37:26,119 discard deck. I would never play her, but she just made it so 1628 01:37:26,279 --> 01:37:29,479 consistent. Yeah, she was so good, But I understand why they made 1629 01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:31,399 that change to her. Yeah. I like her new ability, but yeah, 1630 01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:36,119 her old ability was just the consistency special. It was great. No, 1631 01:37:36,239 --> 01:37:41,159 absolutely, I wanted one last question for you. Yes, this this 1632 01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:44,960 card. I remember you talking about him on a previous Marvel snap talk that 1633 01:37:45,079 --> 01:37:49,720 was just incredibly overbuffed or just overused. But I just got the blob as 1634 01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:56,159 my my spotlight. Spotlight cash does he have any use right now? Would 1635 01:37:56,159 --> 01:37:59,239 you fit in any cards that I have? Is it worth it? Yeah? 1636 01:37:59,319 --> 01:38:02,439 He got a nerve, which was well deserved because he's overpowered as hell. 1637 01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,880 When he first came out, it was insane. That was like the 1638 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:09,600 most overtuned card I think I've ever seen in the time that I've been playing. 1639 01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,479 They've nerved him, but he's still really good. He's still really consistent 1640 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:15,680 because what he has zoo he has six zero now right, yeah, six 1641 01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:19,720 zero and then so he actually has until he gets to fifteen and then that's 1642 01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:23,680 right, that was they put that cap on him there. Yeah. Yeah, 1643 01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:27,680 he's actually potentially has a good potential in a Mister Negative deck potentially because 1644 01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:30,760 he when you flip him around, he'll cause zero. But I think generally 1645 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:34,640 where you want to play him is in a deck with big cards like Gigante 1646 01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:41,119 and infinn Nott and Magneto, Red Skull Destroyer, like those kind of cards, 1647 01:38:41,399 --> 01:38:44,520 and ideally he just eats a whole bunch of them, and then the 1648 01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:46,279 kind of go to combo is once again the card that you've overlooked, his 1649 01:38:46,359 --> 01:38:50,119 task Master, where if you can if you know obviously you're gonna need some 1650 01:38:50,159 --> 01:38:54,960 sort of energy manipulation to be able to play Blob on turn five. But 1651 01:38:55,199 --> 01:38:58,359 if you do that with you don't have silock, you said, right, 1652 01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:01,399 I don't know, so maybe electro. You have electro in your cluction, 1653 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:06,119 Yeah, I got electro, so maybe electro turn five Blob ideally, I 1654 01:39:06,159 --> 01:39:11,399 mean he'll get to fifteen or whatever anyway, and then turn six you can 1655 01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:15,199 hit him with task Master to copy that somewhere else because sometimes, like because 1656 01:39:15,199 --> 01:39:19,600 of how BLOB's card works is like, let's say he got built up to 1657 01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:24,760 fourteen power from different cards in your deck, but then in finn out was 1658 01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:29,720 the next card he'd eat, he'd still be at like whatever whatever that equals 1659 01:39:30,239 --> 01:39:32,680 thirty four, right, Yeah, he'd still equal that amount because of how 1660 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:36,199 the math of it works, right, So he can still be insane on 1661 01:39:36,319 --> 01:39:39,760 the value. And if you haven't a deck about that, actually yeah, 1662 01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,279 and if you have a deck that has exclusively really big cards, that can 1663 01:39:42,359 --> 01:39:45,279 work out. So the only downside is that task master situation. Well, 1664 01:39:45,279 --> 01:39:47,960 I guess it's actually different nowkud too, because before he would eat your deck 1665 01:39:48,039 --> 01:39:50,439 and it would be gone. But now since he only eats a certain amount, 1666 01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:54,439 you can still get a draw on if you play after him, you 1667 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,760 know, okay, so yeah, but that's the thing. You'd want to 1668 01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,479 make sure you have task Master in your hand before you drop him down, 1669 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:02,159 So that would be one situation, but also just like, yeah, why 1670 01:40:02,239 --> 01:40:05,159 not drop him on turn six get a huge amount of power. He's kind 1671 01:40:05,199 --> 01:40:08,039 of like Red a Hulk. I don't know if you've bumped into Red Hulk 1672 01:40:08,079 --> 01:40:10,880 at all, but just I have just a six cost card that has a 1673 01:40:11,399 --> 01:40:14,319 way too much power and no reason to have that much power. It's like 1674 01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:17,880 it's crazy, very overpowered card as well, So yeah, I think I 1675 01:40:18,119 --> 01:40:21,439 Blob is still good. I don't think he's overpowered anymore. That's good. 1676 01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:25,720 He also would be great to have with kr Kr. I don't know how 1677 01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:27,800 to pronounce her name. Put her in that deck as well, player on 1678 01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:30,199 turn three, because that way he's no, he's probably always gonna have enough 1679 01:40:30,239 --> 01:40:33,319 power to get hit by shunk Chi and then she can help prevent that. 1680 01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:36,239 So that'd be a good compo as well. Yeah. Nice, Yeah, 1681 01:40:36,279 --> 01:40:40,640 thanks for the tips. That's awesome. I'm I just got a bunch of 1682 01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,920 ideas now. I think I'm gonna make like three or four decks as man. 1683 01:40:44,319 --> 01:40:46,680 Yeah, yeah, very exciting stuff like that is what really just like 1684 01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:49,239 gets the itch again, and I'm like, that's where I'm just hooked. 1685 01:40:49,279 --> 01:40:51,800 Like I'm just playing the game like constantly. I'm like, I really have 1686 01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:57,520 to go to bed right now. But yeah, I mean that's like I 1687 01:40:57,640 --> 01:40:59,680 was joking about the addiction to it. It's like it is. It is 1688 01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:00,760 a great game, is really fun. There's so much variety. There's so 1689 01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:04,479 many cards, and they add a new card every single week, new locations 1690 01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:09,880 every month, so like it the it's always keeping it fresh, and the 1691 01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:13,199 meta is always changing and they're always balancing changing cards and yeah, in some 1692 01:41:13,359 --> 01:41:15,840 cases they'll take away a Lady Desk Strike from me, even though I loved 1693 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:17,439 her ability, and in other times they buff a card and it gets a 1694 01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:20,800 really cool new ability, like when they change Spider Man back in the day 1695 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:24,039 and he was a really annoying card, but now he's like a really fun 1696 01:41:24,119 --> 01:41:27,239 move card, so they do that too, So it's just very fresh for 1697 01:41:27,399 --> 01:41:29,800 me. I was gonna show it a couple of decks, but I feel 1698 01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:31,279 like we kind of got some good convo there. Really. I think the 1699 01:41:31,359 --> 01:41:34,960 one thing I want to shout out is my like MVP favorite card of the 1700 01:41:35,039 --> 01:41:41,479 last couple of months, kind of two cards is a Quake and Legion. 1701 01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:45,279 You probably have Quake in your collection, but probably not Legion. Don't have 1702 01:41:45,399 --> 01:41:47,760 either of those actually come across Legion. But yeah, she's a she's a 1703 01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,600 series three, so you should you know, be getting her soon enough here, 1704 01:41:51,319 --> 01:41:54,800 but yeah, they changed her at some point. So now wherever you 1705 01:41:54,960 --> 01:42:00,199 play her on reveal, she flips the other two locations and then lead in 1706 01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:02,000 have you bumped into Legion? Do you know what he does? Is he 1707 01:42:02,079 --> 01:42:08,079 the one that he'll he'll turn the other locations into his location? Exactly? 1708 01:42:08,239 --> 01:42:11,279 Okay, I used him yesterday, my Nick Fury, So there you go. 1709 01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:17,680 Oh perfect, Sorry, yeah, nice good stuff. Yeah, no, 1710 01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:21,399 he he's just so fun And both those cards have won me so many 1711 01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:26,279 games just on their own. Where you know, there's the location that like, 1712 01:42:26,319 --> 01:42:30,479 whoever has the least power here, uh wins the location and be able 1713 01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:33,399 to flip that with Quake on someone's bar, satisfying the bar that goes to 1714 01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:38,920 nowhere, whatever the fuck it's called location. But as soon as I see 1715 01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:42,199 that in the first location retreat, I'm out of there. Screw this and 1716 01:42:42,279 --> 01:42:45,680 the amount of games I won because like Limba or magic rather playing limbo a 1717 01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:50,720 really really common play. And when my opponent drops that limbo down and I 1718 01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:56,159 come in there, I save Legion till turn six, play him somewhere else, 1719 01:42:56,279 --> 01:42:59,079 take away that limbo, and there they've been, you know, waiting 1720 01:42:59,119 --> 01:43:01,279 for that turn seven play. But now the game just over the amount of 1721 01:43:01,359 --> 01:43:05,359 games I've won with that alone every time. It's so satisfying. So though, 1722 01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:09,319 yeah, the deck I've been using is really just like kind of based 1723 01:43:09,359 --> 01:43:11,279 on a lot of info, like I have Howard the Duck in there, 1724 01:43:11,319 --> 01:43:14,520 who shows your next draw. I have Daredevil in there, who shows you 1725 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:16,720 what your opponent's gonna do on turn five. Mixed with those the ability to 1726 01:43:17,079 --> 01:43:23,039 morph and change locations, not morph the character, but changing locations has been 1727 01:43:23,119 --> 01:43:25,920 like really really fun. It really kind of fluid deck, doesn't really have 1728 01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,159 much of an archetype to it. It's really just like good cards mixed with 1729 01:43:29,279 --> 01:43:31,359 specifically Legion and Quake, and that has given me a lot of wins. 1730 01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:36,520 So that's been super super fun. But yeah, I've just been having a 1731 01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:40,159 great time playing the game. I got Valentino last week, who's fun, 1732 01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:44,239 fun new card to play with, And yeah, so what I just wanted 1733 01:43:44,239 --> 01:43:47,119 to do a quick quick preview, I guess of this month of new cards 1734 01:43:47,159 --> 01:43:49,159 that are coming out here, which is something I want to do more. 1735 01:43:49,199 --> 01:43:53,159 Hopefully we can maybe kind of the start of every month, we can reconvene 1736 01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:55,680 on a side quest and just kind of do a breakdown of the new cards 1737 01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:57,920 that aren't gonna come out. I think it'd be a fun thing to do. 1738 01:43:59,239 --> 01:44:00,439 But yeah, have you check out have you looked into these new cards 1739 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:03,319 that are coming out here in the next few weeks. You check out that 1740 01:44:04,079 --> 01:44:09,640 I watched the video that you sent. Yeah, we got she's going off 1741 01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:14,119 my memory here. We've got Blink, Yes, Blink's the season's past card. 1742 01:44:14,359 --> 01:44:17,479 Okay. So I don't know how I feel about her because she's she's 1743 01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:21,720 an on reveal your player. She's just five five seven I think. And 1744 01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:27,079 then whatever the last card you played swaps with the higher cost card in your 1745 01:44:27,199 --> 01:44:29,960 deck. So in theory, you could, you know, get a cheap 1746 01:44:30,079 --> 01:44:33,960 six cost card out, but it's one that doesn't actually inspire a lot of 1747 01:44:34,039 --> 01:44:36,680 like immediate deck ideas for me. So I don't know, I don't know 1748 01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:39,800 how I feel about that one. Does that one intrigue you at all, 1749 01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:43,000 I like the character. That's one thing I I do want to use your 1750 01:44:43,079 --> 01:44:45,159 show No blank uh not too long ago. I can't remember what it was. 1751 01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,039 I don't know what the Yeah, probably I don't know what the context 1752 01:44:48,199 --> 01:44:51,640 was, but just a I've always I haven't really much exposure to it, 1753 01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:55,279 but just from what days of future passed or whatever that scene is, I 1754 01:44:55,399 --> 01:44:57,920 just thought she's so cool. So yeah, I don't know, I don't 1755 01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,680 know I feel about that ability though it doesn't excite me as much. Yeah, 1756 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:02,920 it didn't really do too much for I feel like most the ones actually 1757 01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:05,439 that were shown here, they didn't do too much. I feel like I'm 1758 01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:11,319 just still so bitter of my no no null, my no null acquisition is 1759 01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:14,920 no less just kicking dust today. I don't I actually agree with you. 1760 01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:17,039 I think this is maybe for the first month this year is the first like 1761 01:45:17,239 --> 01:45:20,439 really underwhelming season for me, and I think I'll probably try and take a 1762 01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:24,920 step back for a little bit here, but also coming out. I guess 1763 01:45:25,039 --> 01:45:28,840 the day of this episode drops is knockt hern Which is cool. Is this 1764 01:45:29,039 --> 01:45:32,279 character which I looked into is like the child of night Crowler and Scarlet Witch 1765 01:45:32,319 --> 01:45:36,560 from like a certain comic book series, which is really cool. So her 1766 01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:41,640 ability is she's a three five, she can move, she can move once, 1767 01:45:42,119 --> 01:45:45,279 and then every time she moves even beyond that once, she will change 1768 01:45:45,319 --> 01:45:49,359 the location that she moves to. So obviously she gets that one free move, 1769 01:45:49,399 --> 01:45:51,520 so you could change whatever location you want. But then you could pull 1770 01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:55,960 her with Gwen or move her again with iron Fist I guess something like that, 1771 01:45:56,159 --> 01:45:59,479 or Heimdahl and get her change multiple locations. So I kind of like 1772 01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:01,319 the chaos of this. You know, you don't know what you're gonna get. 1773 01:46:01,359 --> 01:46:04,039 But like I said, a lot of locations in the game are good 1774 01:46:04,119 --> 01:46:08,479 for move players, so that could be kind of a fun strategy as well. 1775 01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:10,279 But yeah, I think she seems like a lot of fun. I 1776 01:46:10,279 --> 01:46:13,760 think I'm gonna use my keys this week because I don't have KR as I 1777 01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:15,680 mentioned, so that's a pretty efficient week for me to get those two cards 1778 01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,399 for my four keys here. So I think I'm gonna pick her up. 1779 01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:23,239 And I think she seems like a good fun edition. I don't know how 1780 01:46:23,359 --> 01:46:27,479 like good or meta shall be. But also the idea to just like move 1781 01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:31,600 once on command, which only Nightcrawler and Jeff currently have, Like that's a 1782 01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:35,079 nice kind of convenient ability to have. And like I said, move decks 1783 01:46:35,119 --> 01:46:39,479 really depend on having good locations, so I think that'll be I think that'll 1784 01:46:39,479 --> 01:46:43,720 be a nice kind of fun niche combo to have. And like Vision can 1785 01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:45,920 move on command, right too, Vision can move yeah on command. Yeah, 1786 01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,600 you're right once every turn? Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, 1787 01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:54,359 absolutely, I I'm scared to come across that. It's I won't be getting 1788 01:46:54,399 --> 01:46:59,239 this card right away, not at my rate. Yeah. And then next 1789 01:46:59,399 --> 01:47:01,760 up after the week after that is Sage, who's a character I've never heard 1790 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:08,119 of on Reveal two plus two power for each different power amongst all other cards 1791 01:47:08,199 --> 01:47:11,640 here, So that one's like almost a riddle on the way it's written. 1792 01:47:12,039 --> 01:47:15,399 But I think that the part that I didn't think about it originally is like 1793 01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:18,880 it means any card on either side, so your opponent or your side, 1794 01:47:19,239 --> 01:47:21,560 So there's a really good chance for them to just be like, I don't 1795 01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:25,720 know, a two power card of three power, maybe four or five, 1796 01:47:26,039 --> 01:47:28,479 Like you could really stack up the power on her. And so in that 1797 01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:30,600 way, she seems pretty good, and she's only she only costs three. 1798 01:47:31,199 --> 01:47:34,199 She also has yeah, zero power as a default, so she actually worked 1799 01:47:34,199 --> 01:47:38,600 pretty well with like a mister Negative deck as we were just talking about. 1800 01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:42,520 So I don't think I'll be picking this one up immediately, but it seems 1801 01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:45,199 like it has this potential, especially with like a Wong or an Oden, 1802 01:47:45,279 --> 01:47:49,279 to like activate those effects again, I think could be pretty interesting, So 1803 01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:53,680 I might check her out in the future. You just reminded me I don't 1804 01:47:53,680 --> 01:47:57,560 have Wong, and that's, uh, that's hard. I really wanted to 1805 01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,319 make a really wanted to make a deck around him. I think it was 1806 01:48:00,359 --> 01:48:04,840 when I unlocked Black Panther. I really wanted to get him, and then 1807 01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:08,199 of course I was just like forcing it out there. I'm like, they're 1808 01:48:08,199 --> 01:48:11,520 gonna give me Wong. They're gonna give me Wong and no long indeed. 1809 01:48:12,119 --> 01:48:15,359 Yeah, man, but you can try and get him with your uh your 1810 01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:17,720 next month's card if you want to save them, try and wait for that 1811 01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:21,000 rotation. Is it rotates every eight hours or is it once a day for 1812 01:48:21,119 --> 01:48:28,399 that for which was that free monthly card that you get. Yeah, it's 1813 01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:30,279 it's based on hours. It's not twenty four hour period, but it's OK. 1814 01:48:31,079 --> 01:48:33,640 I don't know eight hours. Got to check in a lot though a 1815 01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:38,039 specific Yeah, there was there was one month where like, I don't think 1816 01:48:38,079 --> 01:48:40,479 I was really playing too much, but I was just checking every day for 1817 01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:43,000 a cool card. And then I was actually getting close to like the end 1818 01:48:43,039 --> 01:48:45,079 of it, like Okay, I gotta I gotta take someone here. I 1819 01:48:45,119 --> 01:48:47,479 think that's when I ended up taking Phoenix Force, which I was like, 1820 01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,720 that's a cool card that I don't have. I don't know how it would 1821 01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:55,640 work with what I have. Usually usually I will I'll like take the card 1822 01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:59,279 Google, like you know decks that work that synergize well with that one. 1823 01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:04,359 And then like, depending on how many cards I have already, usually there'll 1824 01:49:04,399 --> 01:49:08,600 be quite a few that I don't have because they're usually more meta cards, 1825 01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:13,039 more like Series five or four or something. But like as long as I 1826 01:49:13,079 --> 01:49:15,439 can kind of swap them out for someone close to someone that I have, 1827 01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:17,760 that's usually what I go with. But that one I was just like, 1828 01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:19,319 I don't know, it was a cool card, I'm gonna take it. 1829 01:49:19,359 --> 01:49:21,800 And then and then I looked up decks afterwards, I'm like, so, 1830 01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:27,119 don't work with anyone. I guess I'm just mentioning this guy. Yeah, 1831 01:49:27,159 --> 01:49:31,439 that's too bad. The week after that is Nomora Nay More, you know, 1832 01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:39,239 Namore Genrel give plus five power to each of your cards alone at another 1833 01:49:39,359 --> 01:49:44,199 location. So obviously she pairs well with nay More and Orca, so it 1834 01:49:44,279 --> 01:49:49,199 makes sense. There's kind of the Atlantias Lantin's Atlanteans. Yeah, have you 1835 01:49:49,239 --> 01:49:53,920 ever pronounced that? Those kind of cards she works well with. She Also 1836 01:49:54,279 --> 01:49:57,039 one thing I thought it seemed kind of interesting about this is I feel like 1837 01:49:57,039 --> 01:50:00,640 this is the first time where I think there's actually a synergy here with venom, 1838 01:50:00,399 --> 01:50:03,439 but a venom outside of a destroyed deck. Just the idea of venom 1839 01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:05,680 to eat a bunch of cards, get a bunch of power, and then 1840 01:50:06,119 --> 01:50:11,600 being the single guy in that lane. It seems like actually a really fun 1841 01:50:12,319 --> 01:50:15,119 sort of strategy there as well. So I think the week Shi comes out, 1842 01:50:15,159 --> 01:50:17,079 I don't have another card in that spotlight, so I might I might 1843 01:50:17,159 --> 01:50:20,399 pick her up as well. I think initially maybe not the most exciting card 1844 01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:24,680 for me, just because like naym War and Orc aren't really that great or 1845 01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:28,239 it's just it just doesn't sound that fun honestly, just like don't play anything 1846 01:50:28,279 --> 01:50:32,840 and then turn four play nay More turn I guess you couldn't even do that. 1847 01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:35,479 You couldn't even play her after Orca, so I don't even know that 1848 01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:40,399 synergy doesn't work super well together, so I don't know. Kind of kind 1849 01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:42,760 of a weird card, not super exciting. I don't think she'll be very 1850 01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,960 good, but I do think her with a Venom sort of strategy could actually 1851 01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:49,600 be pretty interesting and cool and unique. So it might might try for that. 1852 01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:54,039 But then again, it's like you're only giving venom an extra five power. 1853 01:50:54,079 --> 01:50:57,199 It's like it's not but it's not a ton I still don't have venom 1854 01:50:57,479 --> 01:51:00,199 rest in peace. Oh my god, I forget that. Like these feel 1855 01:51:00,279 --> 01:51:03,960 like the most basic card is guess this is how it works. You're gonna 1856 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:08,920 get looting random cards before other ones. That was one too that I remember, 1857 01:51:09,039 --> 01:51:11,920 like early on my journey, like when I was really early on, 1858 01:51:12,079 --> 01:51:15,640 like still getting like the set cards that like you're you're guaranteed to get in 1859 01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:17,439 the beginning, I thought he was gonna be one of those because I thought 1860 01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:20,119 he was seen him. Yeah, I was seeing him quite early on. 1861 01:51:20,319 --> 01:51:24,079 And then no, I still haven't gotten a human torch. So we talked 1862 01:51:24,079 --> 01:51:26,880 about him really right. That's because that's that's funny to me. That was 1863 01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:30,199 that was the very last series three card I needed. So I just go 1864 01:51:30,319 --> 01:51:32,119 to show how random the system is that I always I wanted him for so 1865 01:51:32,279 --> 01:51:35,800 so long. It took forever, But that's one that you got interesting enough. 1866 01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:39,479 Human Torch. I feel like I kind of got in a cheat way 1867 01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:42,800 because I got him through like a gift. I got a variant of the 1868 01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:45,079 human torch I don't even have. I don't even have the base of the 1869 01:51:45,159 --> 01:51:49,039 human Torch. I got that variant. So and it works great because as 1870 01:51:49,079 --> 01:51:53,119 I was mentioning, like a big user of the move deck, and he 1871 01:51:53,319 --> 01:51:57,560 was like a pinnacle piece of that cool variant too. Yeah. Nice, 1872 01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:03,159 Yeah, I remember that the more right I'm guessing doesn't inspire much us or 1873 01:52:03,359 --> 01:52:08,640 like like solo laners. Yeah. And then the last one here is Sasquatch. 1874 01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:12,960 Yeah, so goot Taylor involved in here. I was telling him to 1875 01:52:13,079 --> 01:52:16,520 get in here when Scar was added, but hopefully for Sasquatch and Sasquatch is 1876 01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:23,119 a six' ten and costs one less for each card you played last turn. 1877 01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:27,479 So not super exciting, but I think it seems decent. This would 1878 01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:30,960 actually obviously work pretty well with like a bounce style deck like cards or a 1879 01:52:31,039 --> 01:52:35,119 deck that's playing like a bunch of low cost cards. I'm guessing this would 1880 01:52:35,159 --> 01:52:39,640 work really go well with Mysterio because Mysterio you play him these two costs, 1881 01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:44,079 but put three cards on the board, so that would take three cost off 1882 01:52:44,159 --> 01:52:47,279 Sasquatch. That could be a really really good combo. And usually like those 1883 01:52:47,359 --> 01:52:49,880 kind of decks don't have a big six cost card in them, so I 1884 01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:55,279 think that actually is kind of a fun I turn off for that, like 1885 01:52:55,439 --> 01:52:58,680 archetype, kind of something a little bit different there. So it seems interesting, 1886 01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:03,000 but once again not super exciting. So overall this month's cards are a 1887 01:53:03,039 --> 01:53:06,359 little underwhelming for me, but uh that's just how it goes, right, 1888 01:53:06,399 --> 01:53:10,600 They've been flow overed all. Yeah. Absolutely. I think the Sasquatch one 1889 01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:14,079 was the most intriguing to me, mostly just for the character being in there. 1890 01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,199 But yeah, and then I wanted to throw a couple other cards at 1891 01:53:18,239 --> 01:53:20,960 you that are supposed to come out afterwards. So if anyone doesn't want to 1892 01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:26,760 hear I guess spoilers for data mind stuff, turn your ear away. But 1893 01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:30,479 they are adding at some point a card called Arisham, who's like the big 1894 01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:34,439 villain guy or the big guy from uh oh the Church, right, Yeah, 1895 01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:38,760 yeah, Eternals. Sorry to say, Kirk, that's like next month 1896 01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:41,720 Season Pass is going to be the Eternals month. There. Hey, there's 1897 01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:44,800 probably some cool cards. I didn't like the movie, but I think there's 1898 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:48,720 potential with the characters. Well check this out. Arisham is a seven seven 1899 01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:54,800 ooh interesting seven seven cost. At the start of the game, you get 1900 01:53:54,960 --> 01:54:00,920 plus one maximum energy and shuffle twelve random cards into your tech. Wow, 1901 01:54:01,199 --> 01:54:05,039 that's really weird. It just sounds like total chaos. The first seven cost 1902 01:54:05,119 --> 01:54:08,680 card. You know, we currently have Death in there, who's like a 1903 01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:12,119 nine costs, but you you know, with each kill that happens she gets, 1904 01:54:12,399 --> 01:54:15,039 she's never gonna be that high of cost obviously. But yeah, the 1905 01:54:15,119 --> 01:54:16,760 first seven cost card, which is interesting, makes me curious what other ones 1906 01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:20,079 don't add in the future. And obviously, because he gives you max energy, 1907 01:54:20,079 --> 01:54:24,119 you can play him on turn six. But yeah, shuffle twelve round 1908 01:54:24,199 --> 01:54:26,800 cards in your deck, so and twice as many cards. So yeah, 1909 01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:29,640 I think it sounds like a lot of fun. I'm definitely gonna try and 1910 01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:31,239 get this car because it just seems like a good time. But yeah, 1911 01:54:31,279 --> 01:54:34,399 that is a weird ability. I really like it. Just throw Agatha on 1912 01:54:34,479 --> 01:54:38,840 there and call it a day. Yeah, Agatha and Aershom. I've heard 1913 01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:41,800 people say that's gonna be really funny. Yeah, hands off, let's not 1914 01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:46,119 even play the game. Yeah. So yeah, good times for that one. 1915 01:54:47,039 --> 01:54:50,640 And then the month after that is like for Deadpool, They're gonna be 1916 01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:53,960 doing a Deadpool Month, which I think is fun. I don't know what 1917 01:54:54,119 --> 01:54:58,279 it's actually gonna be themed like, but they're gonna be adding Sandra Nova, 1918 01:54:58,319 --> 01:55:00,199 They're gonna be adding Spider Gwen think is gonna be the seat or not? 1919 01:55:01,199 --> 01:55:05,800 Gwen Poole is what I was looking for there cool and some other characters like 1920 01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:10,159 Ajax I guess from the first Deadpool movie there in the villain. So that 1921 01:55:10,199 --> 01:55:12,520 should be a fun month as well to check out some of those cards. 1922 01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:15,800 But yeah, looking forward to some of those stuff in the other coming months. 1923 01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:16,520 But yeah, this one I think might be a bit of a lull 1924 01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:19,079 for me. Pick up a couple of cards, but that might be it. 1925 01:55:20,439 --> 01:55:26,720 Yeah, any other Marvel Snap thoughts, my friend, I feel like 1926 01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:30,159 a big mind blow moment that I got out of this video that you sent 1927 01:55:30,279 --> 01:55:34,119 on the Marvel snap ism is the artist I believe she does the the cheapy 1928 01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:38,760 versions of the characters, one of the cute ones and stuff. Yeah, 1929 01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:42,319 yeah, exactly. Always thought that was a dude every time I've read the 1930 01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:45,600 name, because it's like Ryan Hachi Mora or I think it's n yeah, 1931 01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:47,640 rih N, and then that that's what she said. She's like, it's 1932 01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:50,159 Rihann, not Ryan. I'm like, oh my god. Every time I've 1933 01:55:50,159 --> 01:55:53,399 seen him, like, because I just love that name. It's really fun 1934 01:55:53,439 --> 01:55:55,520 to say. Every time, I'm like, oh, yeah, Ryan Hachimura. 1935 01:55:56,079 --> 01:55:59,199 You know, I got educated today. It is it is h Enn. 1936 01:56:00,079 --> 01:56:03,720 Yeah, it's hilarious. It's cool that she's going to get this kind 1937 01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:09,399 of the spotlight this month her. I love her designs. They're very cute, 1938 01:56:10,359 --> 01:56:13,359 which is, you know, a fun kind of variation on what the 1939 01:56:13,399 --> 01:56:15,439 other kind of styles in the game are so pretty cool. I like that 1940 01:56:15,479 --> 01:56:18,399 they've been doing that for the last like maybe two or three months in these 1941 01:56:18,479 --> 01:56:23,399 monthly spotlights. Is kind of highlighting a certain artist, which is which is 1942 01:56:23,479 --> 01:56:25,159 great. That's a big part of the game, that big part of the 1943 01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:28,840 wanting to unlock things and get cool variants. That's a big part of it. 1944 01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:31,680 So totally, it's nice. Yeah, Like I love the gameplay of 1945 01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:35,479 Marvel Snap. But I feel like if it wasn't Marvel and like the collection 1946 01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:39,039 aspect to it, I don't think I really would have been too attached. 1947 01:56:39,079 --> 01:56:43,720 But it is really fun to not only get new characters that maybe I didn't 1948 01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:45,640 know of before or like right now, I'm on the pursuit, Like I 1949 01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:48,560 have my wish list of cards that I really want, obviously, you know, 1950 01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:53,199 Null Silk, like Ghost Spider, like those types of characters I do 1951 01:56:53,359 --> 01:56:56,880 really want. But man, they got some beautiful variants in the game, 1952 01:56:56,960 --> 01:57:00,479 and I'm never I haven't gotten a battle pass yet. I feel like that 1953 01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:02,920 day might come depending on what happens with their But I go in the shop 1954 01:57:03,039 --> 01:57:06,000 and like just see like the token costs for like a certain variant that I 1955 01:57:06,079 --> 01:57:11,279 see. It's like, fuck, don't tempt me frout now, I never 1956 01:57:11,399 --> 01:57:13,439 use your tokens on this Is it worth it? Yeah, And like some 1957 01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,600 of them are so expensive. I think it was like a five thousand token 1958 01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:19,640 for a variant or something like that. Yeah, the premium ones I've called 1959 01:57:19,680 --> 01:57:24,880 them, Yeah, something like that. I've never never spent that. Yeah, 1960 01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:27,960 I kind of come and go. I get maybe like half the season 1961 01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,399 passes these days. I did get the Thunderbolts one because I like burn z 1962 01:57:30,399 --> 01:57:33,399 Emo. I thought he was a fun addition. That variant is gorgeous too 1963 01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:38,439 that they have for him. Coolah yeah, like the Highlight one that they 1964 01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:42,479 had. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know about the Like I'm on 1965 01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,800 the fence, as I mentioned with Blinks, I don't know if I'll pick 1966 01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:46,399 up this one, So we'll see how it goes. You're kind of like, 1967 01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:49,319 if you're gonna get the Seasons Pass, you're gonna have to like kind 1968 01:57:49,359 --> 01:57:53,199 of incentivize a play a lot to hit that least that level fifty so you 1969 01:57:53,239 --> 01:57:56,239 can get all the unlocked with it, which who knows if I'll do that 1970 01:57:56,319 --> 01:57:58,640 this month, but the last show up, make sure you do this so 1971 01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,239 if you've ever tuned, but like every once in a while they have twitch 1972 01:58:01,399 --> 01:58:05,640 drops, so if you like spend hours on a Twitch stream for Marvel Snap, 1973 01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:10,000 you get just some credits or some boosters or a variant or something like 1974 01:58:10,079 --> 01:58:14,640 that. But coming up, they have some to get a couple X men 1975 01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:20,319 ninety seven variants, a Bishop one and a Mister Sinister one. Is the 1976 01:58:20,359 --> 01:58:27,720 Bishop money he's just invisible because he's never there. It really should be Invisible 1977 01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:31,039 Man from Deadpool. But yeah, so make sure you tune in. I 1978 01:58:31,119 --> 01:58:34,319 mean what I do is I just open it on a tab and go do 1979 01:58:34,439 --> 01:58:38,479 other stuff. When I come back hours later and I've got my my stuff, 1980 01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:41,119 I cash it in. Didn't really have to watch the streams. But 1981 01:58:41,439 --> 01:58:45,079 uh yeah, that's that's make sure you go go connect your account and do 1982 01:58:45,199 --> 01:58:47,960 that. Get some exclusive variants. Where do those get announced? When do 1983 01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:50,840 they announce them? Yeah? Like and where where do you see these announcements 1984 01:58:50,880 --> 01:58:54,600 for it? Is it on the app? Like I usually I just kind 1985 01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:57,239 of check out the reddit every once in a while. It's usually where I 1986 01:58:57,319 --> 01:58:59,920 see it. They do. Uh, usually they'll put them in the road, 1987 01:59:00,399 --> 01:59:02,680 like on the main screen on your phone, and usually they do last 1988 01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:05,319 for a while. But yeah, I don't they don't advertise them very well. 1989 01:59:08,199 --> 01:59:11,319 So yeah, maybe I'll start posting them in the discord and ping you 1990 01:59:11,479 --> 01:59:13,359 or something like that. Yeah, that'd be great, But I feel like 1991 01:59:13,439 --> 01:59:15,079 I might have seen them too, and I'm just like, I'm not going 1992 01:59:15,119 --> 01:59:19,359 on there. That's not worth it. That's amazing. Yeah, No, 1993 01:59:19,439 --> 01:59:23,359 I want to get some free variants. You know about that free stuff, 1994 01:59:23,439 --> 01:59:27,640 So I'll do it. Yeah, yeah, Okay, this is this is 1995 01:59:27,680 --> 01:59:30,399 a fun eppsode, longer than I expected, but that that's what happens with 1996 01:59:30,479 --> 01:59:32,560 me and you on side question often.
