00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.640
eight oh five, coming to you
from my hotel room because somehow,

3
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.679
for some reason, whenever we're all
together, we have to record content in

4
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.159
my hotel room. It's just the
one that smells the best. That's right,

00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.679
you doing Jan? I'm doing great. It's a little cold. If you're

8
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.240
watching the video for this, Uh, there's something slightly off, and that's

9
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.960
uh, Mike Naughties here. Hey
everybody, I'm sorry, Michael kind of

10
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.040
a way to my first my first
in person podcast. That sounds right.

11
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.959
Yeah, yeah, it's off because
I don't know how to match Mike's immaculate

12
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.959
vibe exactly, his energy, his
energy. Yeah, how are you feeling?

13
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.599
Like? I was trying. I
was going to be like pretending really

14
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.280
low energy. After you did that, I was like, no, that's

15
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.560
bad. Ray, I'm feeling great. Man. Mike's had an interesting morning.

16
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.959
He discovered the hand vagina. I
was trying to teach him that if

17
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.480
you like do this, if you're
hand, he's putting his he's putting his

18
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.840
fingers in his knuckles and like bending
it towards me. It kind of looks

19
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.840
like inverse corn rows like that,
like the hair, the hair corn rows

20
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.040
of corn trying to trying to show
you know, you're trying to pay the

21
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.359
picture with words, right, Yeah, But then I was taught something else.

22
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.879
What was that? The hand vagina
trick? Yeah, and the hand

23
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.840
begin I never saw that you need
a friend. And it's not how executive

24
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.439
stand when not on any three stage
that is also vagina exactly. Uh,

25
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:04.840
the authority leading author already on hand
vaginas Lucy James. I was gonna make

26
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:12.599
another joke then, but I want
good morning. Yeah, probably hostel room,

27
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.080
John, thank you. We've all
spent a lot of time in here

28
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.639
this year. Oh yeah yeah yeah
it's uh. I normally explode out of

29
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.840
my clothing and my luggage and then
having to be somewhat semi presentable. Shock.

30
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.680
How oh yeah actually yeah explode right
yeah yeah, do it? Yeah.

31
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.319
Uh. And of course we're joined
by t Moore, who say,

32
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.800
oh, you just saw this the
way which makes me the most time.

33
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.319
But you also love the comfiest I'm
very comfy. Yeah, I like the

34
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.120
stance you got going on. Dam
if you can fall asleep, we're not

35
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.400
gonna wake you up, all right, if you if you know, not

36
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.560
off like just my diffuse see about
the huge I cleaned it every morning?

37
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.039
Is that is that guy who fell
asleep in your first panel that the forces

38
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.719
had to wake him up with you? There's no shout out section this this

39
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.280
week. But as that guy that's
living out, that's sliving, that's sliving

40
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.080
it out. Oh yeah, sliving
it away. You can only do at

41
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.840
packs and you know, tam Lucy, this is Hill's first packs. Y'all.

42
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.879
See any fun games? Good talk
about games, gaming, any fun

43
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.280
games. So the only game I've
played thus far has been Pacific Drive.

44
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.680
Okay, well I'm going to play
Thank goodness you're here. Lates it oct

45
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.800
Yeah we checked that out. Yeah, excited, but no Pacific Drive.

46
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.800
We were all there. I gotta
say, I'm really into it. So

47
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.639
I just watched you play. Yeah
we all did, Yes, we all

48
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.599
did. That's right. You gave
the control yeah you know, you gave

49
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.000
the CONTROLA to the one person who
can't drive, and yes it wise,

50
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.680
it was a lot of fun to
watch so the vibes I was getting and

51
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.199
Tam you told me this. I
think Outer Wilds with the car and the

52
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.639
Pacific Northwest. That is a very
good touchdowne for that games, the half

53
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.159
of now that we've sold. Yeah, and I don't know if it's actually

54
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.639
true, if it's just like five
rids it. Yeah, my eternal,

55
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.719
Like you really need to find something
that's correct, right, I'm on that

56
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.280
journey too. Yes, And it
does have that kind of like hands and

57
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.520
open space. Weird things are happening. Maybe you'll understand it a few hours

58
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.400
down the line, but it would
be cool. Who you do. Yeah,

59
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.199
so basic gets it's a rogue light
where you you're you're in the vehicle

60
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.040
and it's a old station wagon and
there's the guy, the developer, the

61
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.360
creator. I think it's in the
creative director's name is Alex I think yeah,

62
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.439
and he it's been like, you
know, there's maybe something more going

63
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.680
on with the vehicle. As you
get it, you get that idea it's

64
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.240
your wife, it's yours. It
turns out it's your wife and my wife.

65
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.759
Okay, thank you. And it's
so you get in the car and

66
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.319
you take it down the world and
you're gonna discover these weird anomalies and you

67
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.720
don't really know what to do the
first time, But then the second time

68
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.480
around, it's like, Okay,
maybe I have a better idea. Now

69
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.199
I can push further out and I
can build my station wagon in such a

70
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.519
way that it's better able to survive
the world. And I'm super into rogue

71
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.959
lights. I think it sounds like
a really good idea. Yeah, I

72
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.160
heard you want to turn everything to
a rogue light idea. Armed core will

73
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.600
be better for the It absolutely don't
disagreement. Yeah I don't. I'm really

74
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.079
mad about it, and I have
a lot of opinions and an ex friend.

75
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.480
It was really fun and also like
you're handled because as you're driving around

76
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:17.199
there are love crafty and I mean
it's definitely like I'm getting. I mean,

77
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:23.240
it's a specific Northwest so Stephen King
vibes were really heavy. Yess you

78
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.079
mean excuse me, Owen wake vibes. Of course, that's what's the joke

79
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.360
I called the car Christie. Yes, yes you have to, but yeah,

80
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.199
you could just be driving going to
collect something because as well, there's

81
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.000
no map, you have a compass
on the dashboard. You have to physically

82
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.480
look off. It's even call it
the passenger seat map. It's the big

83
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.560
it's like a car, yeah yeah, and then you'll be looking at the

84
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.560
map to to figure out where you're
going, and then some oddity will just

85
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.279
come and grab your car, right
and they're like, you know, some

86
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.079
someone like you know, the half
life like tongue things. Yeah, it's

87
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.560
reminded me of exactly, but there
seems like there's a whole variety of things.

88
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.000
And then there was like the random
or the procedure you generated as a

89
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.879
procedu generate like a just like a
random innocence, yeah, maybe a lightning

90
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.839
storm. He was lightning, or
he's had a world event wilderment. And

91
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:11.920
then what was it called It was
instability happening, so that this cunsting count

92
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.920
that's the timer that like that it's
very much of the roguelade element love exactly,

93
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.879
So you're gonna be able to survive
for a certain amount of time.

94
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.480
But it's basically like a bottle way
right, and yes, exactly, it

95
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.720
became this it's huge storm, and
then there was a circle that was getting

96
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.519
smaller exactly like a battle right now, very different than what I originally thought

97
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.600
it was the same too. Yeah. I kind of just imagine a maybe

98
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.680
a low key market grim and a
narrative driven thing where you go across the

99
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.879
end you're going to discover stuff like
my strange addictions, where like I falls

100
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.560
in love with his car exactly.
Yeah, well, what what's the name

101
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.160
of the Chase? Chase? But
have you seen the update? I not?

102
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.000
No, he loved Chase it.
No he hasn't. He has another

103
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.199
truck, that fucking slut. Yeah, Chase died. Chase died. Okay,

104
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.519
never mind, I'm sorry that haven't. You're allowed to love again everyone

105
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.560
everyone else. When we're talking about
people who they called people specifically called pet

106
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.720
think that's that's great. I just
think that's I think they Yeah, I

107
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.079
think that is mainly to do with
the car itself upgrading it. Yeah,

108
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.839
it's like, did you think that's
much Internet and you're fucking all these orbs

109
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.959
or something? Yeah. Oh remember
when we were just at the petrol station

110
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:25.319
and bits fell out of the sky
hmm open just a bunch of call pots,

111
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.759
oh right, and it was like
cool, like a bug and we

112
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.879
were like, was that one hole? Yeah, and don't worry about it.

113
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.399
It's like the general idea. It's
like it's weird stuff and you're not

114
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.560
gonna understand the first time. You're
probably gonna die. But like the whole

115
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.439
loop is figuring these things out and
being more confident and building the car in

116
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.439
such a way that you could survive. But I also kind of like,

117
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.800
how because you are driving a station
wagon, you can't just drive it over

118
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.920
any and everything. Right, you
are very little and it's uh and he

119
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.720
he said he had a a buicle
Saber. It was his first car talking

120
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.319
about this. My first car was
a next day shedding Alabu. And the

121
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.199
way that this suspension worked on the
car when you were driving it, it's

122
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.360
that big rocky boat on wheels and
it looks so realistic. And he's like,

123
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.199
yeah, that was very important to
me. That's like, that's how

124
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.439
I remember cars being it. And
it's like you're gonna have to deal with

125
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.560
that, which is not great at
driving off road when but you have to

126
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.199
drive off road when the instability started
happening, Lucy, when you were driving

127
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.399
away from it. I loved a
little touch up like the side view mirror

128
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.879
just se yeah, and another one
is as the rear view review as well,

129
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.199
so that and then like you kind
of can't overstate that because when the

130
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.079
instability was happening, it's like this
big red storm and time view and like

131
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.039
maybe that's reflected around you or you
can see it on the on the horizon,

132
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.000
but in the side view mirror,
like you were driving, it was

133
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.759
taking up the whole thing and it
was like blowing up treats behind you like

134
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.759
Independence Day kind of yea, but
yeah, but also let's not forget the

135
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.720
point where I was getting out of
the car and picking up those things and

136
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.000
I turned around and they'd spawned in
mannequins. Mannequins. Oh yeah, in

137
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.279
place like in the Doctor New episode
statues. There's a lot going on.

138
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.159
It looks very cool and it's uh
that game has been shown at a so

139
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.360
many state of play before. I
think so someone's been kind of involved with

140
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.679
it, and I think it's kind
of it's gonna have a they launch.

141
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.639
I think Fine Wood Studios is developing
here, but I don't know who's publishing.

142
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.639
Yeah, I think they said they
had a couple of publishing cons.

143
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.799
It's gonna be on five seam Epic
Games though, yes, right, yeah,

144
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.759
it's definitely gonna BEPS when the first
for comic Weakness and now if you

145
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.200
want. Yeah, but I think
it looks I came out of watching you

146
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.919
play being very excited about published by
Kapler O. Yeah's it. Yeah,

147
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.639
Yeah, okay, kept is very
good. But other than that, y'all,

148
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.120
how's how's your first packspen? It's
been awesome? Yeah? Great,

149
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.240
it's so nice to meet everyone.
Yeah when everyone's so nice. Yeah,

150
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.840
everyone's been so lovely coming up.
But we're also not very used to that.

151
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.480
Yeah. I think this is our
first live event for many of us

152
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.919
as Giant Bomb is sort with like
a lot of people for Yeah, I

153
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.039
mean like the games, good stuff
like that. Yeah, but that's like

154
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.559
mostly just industry. Yeah and that's
fine, that's great. Yeah, those

155
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.559
people were paid to be nice to
us. Y. Yeah, I mean

156
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.360
we have a few people cover count
as well, but that was just the

157
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.399
two of us, Like sure,
you guys were now were the people are

158
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.919
just walking up to us and talking
to us And I'm saying, I don't

159
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.279
see like that friendliness that you don't
real Yeah, yeah, it was like

160
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.120
a connection, right, they're mentioning
it's like it's mass feels to see how

161
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.600
like close the content gets close to
the people, right, I can't see

162
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.440
it, Yeah, to see the
other wire that it's not just a content,

163
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.480
it's not just content. I think
like it's not just hashtag content,

164
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.080
like people being hashtag content. Yeah, wow, shout shoutouts will always be

165
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:33.120
clothing for the presies too. There
were so many people that we wrote down

166
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.840
before the panel, like everyone who
came up to us. Oh, we

167
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.000
wrote down a bunch of names of
everyone who said Hi, that's a good

168
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.480
one too. We wanted to like
give them shout outs during the actual podcast

169
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.960
the life shows. Sorry, and
we were running out of time, but

170
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.120
like, there were so many people
that came and they came to the bar

171
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.200
afterwards, and yet great more game
works and it was a good time.

172
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.840
I beat Mike and street fight or
three thirds trying to talk about that,

173
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.960
and I think we should talk about
it. I think it's important. I

174
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.360
got to Mars kack On to get
me back. Yes, we've been filming

175
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.440
a general Packs weekend vlog. Still
figuring out how to stitch that together.

176
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:13.159
We'll get there eventually to cut with
us bouvery yes, yes, constantly tost

177
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.360
cheer thing. Oh yeah that's good. Yes, Yeah, it's been fun.

178
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.679
We do the first person of that
hand Vagina thing at some point now

179
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.960
I think will be band the first
look. Can we hey, can we

180
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:33.320
name this episode hand Vagina high vat
invert corn though or whatever verset corn?

181
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.639
Maybe? Sure? Right, Okay, I actually have to pay attention to

182
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.240
this episode because there's not a Google
doc. And don't worry, we're here

183
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:46.080
for you a terrible memory channel.
Yeah, speaking about your terrible memory grub.

184
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.120
Is there anything you've played that you've
enjoined? Yeah? I played It's

185
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.120
this in the game Super Mario Brothers
Wonder. Oh yeah, we all played

186
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.320
that. Yeah, we all played
that together and I had a great time

187
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.279
playing that with you guys. Full
Nintendo Live situation in general, I've really

188
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.320
enjoyed. So the thing would also
have a video of that specifically coming.

189
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.159
The thing with the Nintendo Live is
it was very hard for people to get

190
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.080
tickets. Before we got to talk
to PR, I tried to get tickets

191
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.080
and it was only gonna be for
one day and they denied. It was

192
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.600
like, no, you did not
get the lottery. And it's like,

193
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.919
oh man, that stinks. But
when you're on the show floor there,

194
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.320
you're like, this is nice because
it's not packed. The Super Mario Brothers

195
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.519
Wonder line is so short that like, yeah, we went back a second

196
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.600
time and did not even really win
up. Yeah I got to play that

197
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.840
time. You got to play exactly
because the first time it was US four.

198
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.759
The longest slime we waited and was
to meet KK Slider. Yeah,

199
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.799
yeah, yeah, we we went
back and we like metal. We did

200
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.320
a bunch of photops with a bunch
of other ones as well. It was

201
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.679
Nintendo Live is a really good time. It was a lot of fun.

202
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.960
But Super Mario Brothers Wonder in particular, I mean, I guess the big

203
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.879
thing, the highlight thing is I
think when people think of four player Judy

204
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.240
Mario, they're gonna think of the
time that their friend threw them down a

205
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.639
pit, or when they were trying
to make a jump together and someone bump

206
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.080
bumped on their head and not have
done a pit. They did get rid

207
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.039
of that good. Yes, yeah, I know that Dan Records, they

208
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.320
were are going to be upset about
it. I actually spoke to the director

209
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.919
Test Plus and and oh yeah,
that's right, you can have. The

210
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.320
interview is probably going to be up
on Games Plus. Tescaa Ta has been

211
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.679
working on Mario or for forty years, both of both of them have been

212
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:22.159
working on the They've they've worked on
Mario and zy on the think some of

213
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.159
the Metro games, like in various
capacities, think O, the Tessica worked

214
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.960
on Weeks Away. Can you just
want to that's my boy? And you

215
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.000
said, like they took that out? Oh often, Like did they expect

216
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.879
that to be the case when they
put that feature in? And they were

217
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.960
like, yeah, kind of,
we saw it happening, but we also

218
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.639
why they cook it out, And
they were like, because you end up

219
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.080
having characters be just so drastically different
sizes and shapes that it can really cause

220
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.720
problems with collision. So like,
if you're a big big Mario and like

221
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.919
we haven't seen them, because you
can turn it into an elephant. Yeah,

222
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.759
you can also a bigger, bigger, bigger monitor, like and you

223
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.360
get the real bad short yeah.
Yeah. If you like pick someone up

224
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.480
with that, it's just gonna be
like a bit o, it's gonna be

225
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.399
weird. Yeah. Yeah. And
also you need to collide with the world

226
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.919
itself, so like and we've had
the Mario games where you do collide and

227
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.320
that it still exist. It's nice
to have this one that's much more like

228
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.759
the ray Man games, where it
is about everyone just getting to the finish

229
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.480
line and doing fun stuff on your
own next to each other. We talked

230
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.080
to him about like the pacing of
the game, because it's like one thing

231
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.600
I know is is that there was
no time or on the stage, it's

232
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.879
time that it's it's also time for
that to go, right. Yeah,

233
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.039
So they yeah, they talked about
it. They were like we spoke to

234
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.799
the youngest off and then the youngest
off, but like do we need to

235
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.639
have that and we don't make a
lot of sense wherever they intend it or

236
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.320
not. But it slows the game
down so that you don't have to rush

237
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.360
and you can actually enjoy what's around. That reminds it's like all these things

238
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.440
that are still somehow like handed down
from Arcade generations, Like it was just

239
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.360
Brio Odyssey is like why do we
have lives? Is that a thing actually

240
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.240
anymore? So so that like that
that brings it's like, okay, so

241
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.559
like where's the difficulty because in recent
to the Mario games, the difficulty is

242
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:03.799
can you get these like three hidden
coins before the timer runs out and then

243
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:05.039
get to the end and it's like, Okay, that's fine, and they

244
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.759
still kind of have that, but
they actually now have like difficulty ratings on

245
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.159
the levels. Yeah, so it's
like this is like a one star rating

246
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.039
and this is a three star rating, and they're optional. You can go

247
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.720
past them if you want, and
so it's like they're finding other ways to

248
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.759
make it more challenging and the three
star to cook about the weekend. Maybe

249
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.000
it's two star. That's great.
There's like it's fine, you're running in,

250
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.480
that's all right, and up until
like a set piece moment happens,

251
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.240
and then it's like the difficulty comes
in making kill all of you can navigate

252
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.919
way over there, and it's like
and it was like it really was like

253
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.480
a set piece, and it was
like the level is just basically you're gonna

254
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.600
get the driller hat, and at
least one of the persons with the driller

255
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.480
hat is gonna have to break up
these pieces so everyone can get out of

256
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.080
the way of this giant thing falling
down on top of you. And it

257
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.519
was like really fun and harrowing and
everyone working together. Yeah, but also

258
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.279
Daisy turns into an elephin and I
get it say that Daisy Trunk like killing.

259
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.399
Building off of what you said,
Greb, I feel like like even

260
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.600
intentionally trying to play, not trying
to grief my friends or co workers playing

261
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.759
New Super Mario Brothers, you would
just wind up happenings way. Yeah,

262
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.159
yeah you can't. How this it
felt like a more collaborative, like we're

263
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.399
actually working. Are still some way's
gonna rack? Like if you have a

264
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.399
Yoshi. Yeah see that's so typically
right the Yoshi A good thing about the

265
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.159
previous ones where it's like you could
pick like I could pick up my daughter

266
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.600
and like, okay, this is
a hard platform in section, I'm going

267
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.879
to just carry your character over this. Well, now you can do that

268
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.240
if I play Yoshi, right exactly. And Yo and like Yoshi's are also

269
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.679
kind of an easy mail character in
that they can't die. I can't think,

270
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.519
they can't take damage, they can't
fall in pitt still if you if

271
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.279
they just sitting on them right really
exactly. Yeah, but the trade off

272
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.919
is Yoshi doesn't take on any of
the power, right, so Yo can't

273
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.720
be enough. I'm playing Yoshi,
and I was like, remember I wish

274
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.840
I could know? Yeah, yeah, I think that is gonna be as

275
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.799
ticket, Like I don't think yosh
would be if you're playing by yourself with

276
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.559
just still how I'm probably gonna play
this game mostly like yosh would definitely not

277
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:00.240
be my first choice because of that. And yet it was a baby change

278
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.160
where they stript all of them off
their like unique characteristics. Yeah, storry

279
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.559
for like the Yoshi who does but
just stuff. But like yeah, like

280
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.160
the right doesn't glide people, but
they all have little parachutes too. Well,

281
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.440
well, no peach can glide if
you get the badge, right,

282
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.759
So I move that badge into badges, so it's like different abilities and like

283
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.279
modifiers to what you can do.
While it's selecting those badges, I think

284
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.079
he just puts it on everyone,
so like you can't give everyone a good

285
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.079
wall jump, yeah exactly. And
that it's like it's gonna change up levels,

286
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.640
right, You're gonna be able to
take on a level in a whole

287
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.079
new way because you equipped a different
badge. It's really different from for a

288
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.119
Mario platform. Did they mention if
it's going to remain one badge your whole

289
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.200
places? So, but I don't
think you get an extra badg slide at

290
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.640
Yeah, I think it would cause
a bitter CHAOSI right in terms of level

291
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.160
design, if everyone could ride a
different badge. Oh, I was talking

292
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:52.799
in more so, it's like you
could get the coin magnet and then all

293
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.039
the wall jump. Oh yeah.
The best thing about the game is just

294
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.759
the animation work. Now, like
those show the New Super Mario games were

295
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.480
so bland looking for so long,
and this one just has so much personality,

296
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.359
just like going into a pipe and
coming out of it, like well

297
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.440
one point you had the drill hat
on you hear, Mario, you like

298
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.079
went into the pipe, but the
hat stayed behind, so this little hand

299
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:15.640
came out of the pipe and grabbed
it. It's like it looks like a

300
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.960
little cartoon new and like you're right
in the feet when they're going in.

301
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.440
It is night and day compared to
us to Drive Brothers. It's like someone

302
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.039
just posted that still of Luigi from
New Super Mario Brothers games and this and

303
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:32.000
it's like he just you it actually
looks really bad and Super Mario. I'm

304
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.680
just compared to what they were doing
here. It's we asked them, yeah,

305
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.119
yeah, and they were basically just
because this game was had a slight

306
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.079
even more development time unusual development time. Yeah, because they didn't really have

307
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.799
a deadline until and then they set
one for a year and a half,

308
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.920
so they were just like new ling
on ideas. They actually said a lot

309
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.440
of the ideas came from the sound
team. Oh that's cool, this is

310
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.319
a lot of cool idea. Yeah, oh Tommy tellerco. Okay, yeah,

311
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.319
I don't know they were saying so
like they just solicted ideas from every

312
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.759
one of the teams about it,
how they were. This is the thing

313
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.599
I'm've noticed in the most is that
this is the first two D Mario game

314
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:08.319
maybe ever that feels like it has
the similar kind of designs the three D

315
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:14.640
games, but it's just a million
I does okay call them So I'm going

316
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:21.559
to slightly credit the mobile Mario game
because there was a lot more animation with

317
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:26.759
Mario there than like New Super Mario
Brothers. Yeah, it's not that probably

318
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.759
did affector in too much, but
like the movie has had a major impact.

319
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.720
The watch that movie and have these
expressive characters and then come to this

320
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.079
game, the next major Mario game, and have everyone be bland in the

321
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.480
face. You know what. I
think this is where Sonic completely dies because

322
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.720
that was this thing he had the
two and now everyone, you're counting out

323
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.240
Sonic Superstars? Was it called Superstars
has already? That comes out three days

324
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:56.519
before this, right, so it'll
be it'll leave of course, yes that

325
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.960
I do, which Sonic Superstars had
even this level of animation for sure?

326
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.880
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it
was awesome. Like I'm famously not a

327
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.119
very big Nintendo personality, grow up
with it. I love likewise we actually

328
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.839
we played. We played with Chris
Dring and I was like, did you

329
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.559
did you grow up with the intern? Know, It's like it was tough

330
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.440
because everything came out of year later, but he's like, but eventually,

331
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.200
yeah, like I got into it. She's like, I've played this game

332
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:19.200
four times. I'm like, man, drink all right, let's go.

333
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:25.079
Such. It was so charming,
it is. She's very fanciful exactly.

334
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.920
Yeah, And I mean I think
that's something like even if you didn't grow

335
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:29.839
up with Mario, you could see
like I like you. Oh yeah,

336
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.079
I mean yes. I did get
the best text of all time from my

337
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.799
sister though, where she messaged me
and she went, I've shown the girls

338
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:44.880
who are four and seven minisces your
Instagram and they're obsessed with Mario. And

339
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.599
I was like, wait, what
do you mean they obsessed to Mario and

340
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.319
she went they made me rent the
Mario Brothers movie and we watched it four

341
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.799
times in twenty four hours. Wow. D yes, because they've been Disney

342
00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.920
pilled. But two wait wait by
time to show kids list one as well.

343
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.920
Also really like Sonic, So there
you go. You gotta go fast.

344
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.640
Yeah, yeah, but it's it's
a really interesting game, especially to

345
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.039
development stuff. They not to go
back there, but like they elected,

346
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.400
they didn't have the deadline, like
like they just can't. It was very

347
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.480
funny though, because when they were
like and then we set a deadline,

348
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.160
like, yeah, we had a
deadline, So like they spent a really

349
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.480
long time just creating ideas. I
mean, and can you think of another

350
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.960
publisher, Studio Gammier they could ever
do that? And they can't. Then

351
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.640
like they kept going until they reached
a point where they were like, Okay,

352
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.960
we now have a kind of foundation
for what every want to do.

353
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.319
And that's when they set a deadline
to be like xcs from now or x

354
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.039
time from now, we need to
have this game finished. But like up

355
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.920
until that point, it was just
no dead like free for all we ever

356
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:48.880
wanted to in the company pitch an
idea, everyone could go that's so cold.

357
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:52.880
So that's why it feels like I
often I was like this because married

358
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.759
again, Traditionally, they have a
core gimmick that's built around and then you

359
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.119
explore it in different ways like Cappy
for example, that's one givens do everywhere,

360
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.839
and it feels like a game full
of a bunch of numerous givings that

361
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:10.079
would get one in time, but
you still have like that one the wonder

362
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.839
drug or whatever. It is,
like there's one of those in each level,

363
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.720
and that is like the courst gimmick
because it's not just like getting a

364
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:21.160
star power up or getting or something. It doesn't really stars. Yeah,

365
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:22.839
right, you have no idea what
it's gonna do. It's it's always a

366
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.279
little challenge too, because if you
do whatever you kind of need to do

367
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.640
there, you get one of those
wonder seeds and you need those to unlock

368
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.319
things later. The almos kind of
like the moons or the stars. Now

369
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.279
decent amount of it, like wearing
the flower Kingdom, which presumably be as

370
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.880
well with like flower plant the plants
come from Man and all that kind of

371
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:45.400
business. So we're getting into deforestation. We tell people think that Daisy's the

372
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.599
princess. She knows she's the princess
of Sarah Shausha Land from Super Mario Land.

373
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.160
What. Yeah, that's where she
was first in that. There's a

374
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:57.079
bunch of like Kingdom's next to the
Mushroom Kingdom that we've had the Bean king

375
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:06.680
Sarah Sasha Land or something like that
Star Social in here. Yeah, damn

376
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.680
that that The development thing is like
so interesting, cause it's like, uh,

377
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.640
Nintendo has the structure of like you
put out one of these games for

378
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.200
every console, We're gonna put out
one yeah, Mario three, Mario per

379
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.039
console, we're gonna put out one
big sell or maybe two. Uh And

380
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.480
it's like okay, well that that's
cool, but how do you take advantage

381
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.440
on the other side? And it's
like it sounds like that's what they're doing

382
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.279
with this game of like if we
have all this time, what can we

383
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.119
do to make sure that this is
a creative as possible? And other feels

384
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.960
because they weren't doing that New Super
Mario Brothers. Yeah, I think it's

385
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.240
kind of like not to kids Nintendo's
ass or anything, but like it's one

386
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.359
of the food few companies that is
actually doing what people wanted from it.

387
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.200
Yeah, companies, which is like
they have a maja success whatever that's a

388
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.559
movie, a theme call, or
a game, and instead of just being

389
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:53.079
like doubling down and doing something again
and annual releases, yeah, like back

390
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.799
off and then like we ever had
a maya success with this movie and this,

391
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.559
you guys go and figure out another
good game. Take a time,

392
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.279
ye like it could right, Like
they're gonna put the game out and they're

393
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.200
never gonna lower the price, and
it's like that sucks. Well okay,

394
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.119
but what if because we never lower
the price, we have extra time to

395
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.559
make the next game even better.
Well, no company's gonna do that,

396
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.599
but then think they are, and
that's kind of like really encouraging. Yeah,

397
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.680
it's difficult because like most people capitalism
so right, and yeah, but

398
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.240
so they've found the way to make
the capitalist whom sort of work in favor

399
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.960
of their creative just making it work. What is the most I don't know.

400
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.400
Western companies we be like we've had
a major game, winning another one,

401
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.799
right, yeah, it doesn't matter
way, it's like we need to

402
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.160
make money off that name very quickly. Right, it's hard not to be

403
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.880
a personal respect Nintendo for that,
I kind of do when you talk about

404
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.759
the smoothest thing any of us have
ever seen, but all Dug Bowser,

405
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.400
Dug Bosa. Ok So we were
standing outside, we were figuring out what

406
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.319
it's getting more and there's these cost
players and the stunning next the big sign.

407
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.480
They all taking a picture. Dug
Bouser comes out and he goes,

408
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.440
hey, guys, do you want
a Bowser for this picture? Hey?

409
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.200
You get the fus. Yeah,
it's so good. It was the only

410
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.519
one missing Ducks and Duck see saying
he's really got to hang at the like

411
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.279
it was like a baby like right
always you're gonna be able to be able

412
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.119
to fill Reggie's shoes and now he's
like so natural stuff. He was amazing

413
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.200
seeing him because he was walking around
with yeah, like he was not like

414
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:12.319
security anything. He was wondering.
We got a picture with him just because

415
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:15.400
he was like walking back. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think he knew

416
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:19.680
it who he was the best.
He would have kicked me out it that

417
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.319
way. Yeah, but like I
saw it a few times. The Yeah,

418
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.839
he was just wondering around on his
own, like saying below to like

419
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.440
random people. The whole thing was
so pleasant I really enjoyed it, even

420
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.799
though like a lot of it was
photo ops. They were really fun photos

421
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.759
hen't know. They were like so
high quality, like I've seen some shit

422
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:45.160
giving totally. We all had so
good. Yeah, and like the bands

423
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.440
was awesome. They had both bands. They had specific band's Zelda and Mari.

424
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.680
There different Yes, there was the
Mario Big Band and the Zelda Orchestra.

425
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.839
Yeah. Shout out to Victor Lucas

hope like completely got that. Yeah.

428
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.599
Yeah. So we're in the we
the Mario concert starts up and we

429
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:08.799
go go over the side. We're
able to sneak over on the right side

430
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.960
and watch it, and Victor Lucas
is hosting, and he's like all right,

431
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:15.359
we shows pictures like what's this from? And everyone's going to answer it.

432
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.599
And we get to the last one
and it's just like it's like bombomb

433
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.160
Battlefield, Pheno Plaza easy right,
well where we are all shot on that,

434
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.079
And then it's a third one in
it's Super Mario three D World.

435
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.319
The first one like this one's a
little harder yes, and and then it's

436
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.920
dead quiet when it as soon as
a picture pops up, and then from

437
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:36.680
right next to me, Super Bell
Hill, Let's go, and it's back

438
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.920
went out of yellow and it couldn't
have been more perfect. Yes, so

439
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.799
that's the episode title. There you
go. Yes, it didn't even pop

440
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.920
up on my screen yet. I
like that song. That took good song.

441
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.000
So yesterday they had a lot of
media, They were recording a lot

442
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.839
of it. Then can you imagine
if they just had that in their company

443
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:02.119
archive, It'll be like that time
I stood up early to get out of

444
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:08.079
that. Every people keep saying the
fun thing, which is kind of I

445
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.079
don't know if they's awsome to do
it, which would be a little the

446
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.440
various, but like when the music
is playing, you can just see the

447
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:21.839
various Nintendo attendance, just like don't
send them like well I don't remember.

448
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:23.759
We'll marry again is what you picked
the music for? Everybody? That's all

449
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.640
the new Super Mario bads we go. But like, honestly, like you

450
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.400
can speak to this, that's almost
like how it functions in Disney. But

451
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.960
if it Disney vibe, you know, I think that's kind of what they're

452
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.279
going for so, so this whole
thing only exists because E three died,

453
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:38.559
right, they took the budget they
would have put in their their E three

454
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.799
booth and they're doing this instead.
And it's like ether booths were always high

455
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:48.359
quality. Yeah, but it's like
in La the Breath of the super Mario.

456
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.640
Honestly, yes, yeah, so
in these things they're they're gorgeous in

457
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.279
a lot of effort. But now
they're doing it down the street from where

458
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.000
they're headquartered and where they keep all
this stuff. And it's like, we

459
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:00.920
could just we could easily just bring
a Curby thing there. We don't have

460
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.160
a new Curby game, but we're
gonna have a whole thing for Curby and

461
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.960
just have have all this stuff represented
and maybe take the extra time to work

462
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:12.920
with the local uh, like Triple
they're going to get like the eight the

463
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:17.119
pr companies that might we have a
relationship with, like Okay, we want

464
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:18.599
you to really go all out and
we can have a conversation about what that

465
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.680
looks like lego, right, and
then just yeah, yeah, there's a

466
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.200
little about third party, many many
just the stuff that clearly they know that

467
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:32.200
their audience is into, right,
they mean Inlish Islands, exclusive to a

468
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.000
switch right now. So yeah,
they have the big lego bowser, but

469
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.160
they also had little stands where you
can make a little legoat and then take

470
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.680
that home with you. It was
really it was such a good event,

471
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.920
like it's something only Nintendo could do. Yeah, it's such a like a

472
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.079
viable alternative to go into all of
these more pool one hundred percent. Like

473
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:53.279
I feel like this can easily if
they scale it up, become like their

474
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.079
own, like Nintendo show that.
Yeah, I mean it could be their

475
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.400
bliss con. Yeah, they could
be their bliss can exactly. Like it's

476
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:07.240
a very good fix that much line
you need to order ahead thing or a

477
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.640
second one or something we got.
We got. We tried to get in

478
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:12.480
line early the first day and then
they're like, well, it's not gonna

479
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.720
open to eleven. So we went
to go do some more photo ops and

480
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.079
play Supermarrow Brothers Wonder a game,
and we went back out and like the

481
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.160
line had opened early and we are
all right, we'll go get in line,

482
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:23.400
and then we were like, once
you get through this line, it's

483
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.319
another forty five minute wait, sixty
minutes, sixteen minutes, and I'm like,

484
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.839
guys, I can't now and who
we were waiting in the sign,

485
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.440
but like just doing things like whenever
you play at demo or media character,

486
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.559
they usually handle like a pin or
a bag. So it seems like I

487
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:40.759
just think trink gets to remember I
was here exactly. That's good enough.

488
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.920
Shout outs to the inflatable Kirby walk
around. Oh my god, Oh my

489
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.799
god. That was just seeing him
go by. And then you know everyone

490
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.119
in those costumes, that's rough,
it's hot. We wasn't impressed by this

491
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.599
one. Everyone's doing good. But
the person in the Pika two guys total

492
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.640
pro They could emote so much in
that thing. It was I thought it

493
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.640
was the real Pikachu. Yeah,
they were top rocket and everything. It

494
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:11.039
was Yeah, because we're fighting at
Yeah, just look at that gift of

495
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.240
Yeah, they must have very short
people on those costs. Yes, this

496
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.279
is like four shut people. Now, there we go. Maybe it's maybe

497
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:25.160
it's a children like Dan Ryker's been
suggest that's why they can only do twenty

498
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:30.400
minutes shifts. That people love child
labor jokes. Yeah, they do.

499
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.640
It's one of their favorites. And
with that, we're gonna take a quick

500
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:38.640
break and we'll be back on the
other side to talk about Stark and We're

501
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:44.359
back. I actually checked out a
game yesterday. Lucy and Tam joined me

502
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.920
and watched over my shoulder for a
hot second Arco. For a second.

503
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:49.440
When I looked at my Google calendar, I thought like, do I have

504
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.359
to go to a gas station?
Knockos? Do you think you would see

505
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.359
Pedro Mascal. I'd love to see
Pedro here. I think he'd have a

506
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.799
great time, but I think he
would think did two handsome men meeting?

507
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.480
You know? Zoom call of the
Ages? I know he was on the

508
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:10.799
n actual phone, satellite phone.
Oh absolutely, Pod, It's just me

509
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:15.759
ok there mind. But Arco.
It's an interesting game because how the devs

510
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:22.119
described it, it is an like
a turn based game, an active turn

511
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.799
based game where very very final fantasy
where you are taking your little dude and

512
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:32.599
you have a series of actions.
So as soon as you make an action

513
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:37.240
like you're moving or you're waiting,
uh, the enemy will also reap not

514
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.599
retalied, but also make their move
and it's kind of projected, so you'll

515
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.319
see like, oh, your little
dude is going to go to the left,

516
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:48.079
but this person is ready to attack
you, and their range of movement

517
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.559
will go this way, or their
projectiles will fire this way, and then

518
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.960
you're as you're moving, you're building
up like magic points. Uh, if

519
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:04.039
you're waiting around, you built more
magic points, and then your attacks will

520
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.200
happen at the same time, so
you're both taking turns along with AI and

521
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.640
moving at the same time. So
looked by some frogs. Yeah, the

522
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.720
frogs. Frogs were no joke,
and I thought I was an ally of

523
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:20.759
the frogs. But it's really neat
because it gets a frog with your green

524
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:30.039
honey rib it and it's it gets
even more complicated because you have to be

525
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:34.319
juggling around like how many how many
magic points you have? There are a

526
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:38.039
couple instant action items or actions,
like you can pop a shield and it's

527
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:40.920
not going to cost any action and
it's not going to count as a turn.

528
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.720
So you could purposely tank a hit
from someone and then as soon as

529
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.240
they land on you fire off one
of your attacks. And then as you're

530
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.720
picking your placements when you're moving,
can also hold it down to like kind

531
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:59.559
of add a key frame kind of
and arc around versus just going in a

532
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.279
straight pattern. Okay, and it
something they introduced in one of the first

533
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:12.920
boss battles I went through is there
are ghosts that are constantly moving, So

534
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.480
even though you're planning your turn out, these ghosts are still going to move,

535
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.000
so you have to think faster.
Yeah, ghosts are always chewing.

536
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:27.559
There's able to do things. You
know. Casker just let you cook,

537
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:29.640
you know. He was like,
I'm apparently ghost. I'll let you take

538
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.640
a turn. That's right. So
that was like, actually cook, I

539
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:38.400
wasna remember that. That was a
scary movie. That's weird. I would

540
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:43.680
cry at that movie. Yeah,
nineteen nine. Yeah, of course you

541
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.400
cry when he talks about how he
died. No, no, yeah,

542
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.440
like when he got turned into like
when the dad got turned into a ghost.

543
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:52.279
I freaked the fuck out. That
was weird when he was talking about

544
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.640
because he was just talking about the
fact that he he was basically the outside

545
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.839
in the cold to go sledging with
his dad and then his dad felt so

546
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:05.000
bad that he withered away died.
Yeah, it's a tragedy. And then

547
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:10.920
he had those street uncles. Can
I keep that was? Yeah? Now,

548
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.840
these kids movies just loved like killing
kids. Yeah. Have you watched

549
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:20.960
hocus Pocus recently? The first staring
in the start? Yeah, I just

550
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:24.400
can't believe how much of that movie
revolves around this guy's a virgin. This

551
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:30.360
guy's a fucking virgin. Yeah,
that's what Disney's missing. Disney what used

552
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:36.719
to have edge? They did making
another new one. God that focus has

553
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:42.159
had a big Yeah. Oh man, Sarah Jessica Parker the first one.

554
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.559
Wow. Yeah, she's working.
She's like she looks I watched All of

555
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:49.159
a And just like that, which
is the worst TV show that I absolutely

556
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.639
ador It's terrible, but I love
it. She I think she used to

557
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:58.079
do ballet, oh, like I
could school and like she's in a fifties

558
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.440
god down, look like that.
I want to look like that now,

559
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:08.039
Okay, okay, I heard something. I'm like, I want to fuck

560
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.519
that. Wait all heard that looked
like that. She's not my time.

561
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:17.400
I mean you would say no,
I would so arco you know what,

562
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:22.719
Matthew, Matthew roget to kill you. So that's that's Inspector Gadget. Yeah

563
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.079
no, I mean, never get
in a climate. Never seen that their

564
00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:28.960
Gadget movie. And it was like
seventeen minutes long, and even as a

565
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:30.679
kid, I was like, that's
too short to be a movie. My

566
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.679
no, No, I went when
I was a kid, because at the

567
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.400
same time I believe it was The
World Is Not Enough was playing and my

568
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.199
whole family was like, we're gonna
go to the cinema, and my aunt

569
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.320
stupidly said that she'd already seen James
Bond, and my dad was like,

570
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.920
well, Lucy's too young to go
see James Bond, so you have to

571
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:52.880
go see in gadget so she doesn't
forget. We should start French cinema with

572
00:35:52.920 --> 00:36:07.440
the arts cinema with the first steward, what brace up? I know a

573
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:13.480
French steward is like the parody of
it in the celebrity Jeopardy thing. Jimmy.

574
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.079
We always do this every time,
we're like, what's he doing now?

575
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:25.880
Which is not a first name it
is it is a mustard. But

576
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:30.679
the added layer of complexity with ARCO
is that you start off with one character,

577
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.360
but then you eventually start controlling three
characters, and then a lot of

578
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.159
their abilities, like interact with each
other really well, so you can send

579
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:43.039
someone off to go into the heat
of everything, but they're a little bit

580
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.760
more fragile, and then your other
character that is a little bit more built

581
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:51.320
out can teleport with them, so
you send your dude in swap them out,

582
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.280
and then your big dude is punching, and then there's abilities where you

583
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:58.719
deflect bullets and everything. It's really
up my alley. There's a lot going

584
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:00.760
on like that, the Keeper anything
you talked about. So it's like because

585
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:05.079
you basically you plan on the turn, and the turns happened simultaneous with you

586
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:07.239
and the enemy. Right. Yeah. So it's like at a certain point

587
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:07.760
during the turn, you could,
like I say, okay, this is

588
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.239
gonna be an a pivot point kind
of is that it works, So you'll

589
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:13.800
you'll arc your movement like I like
that idea, but then you'll you'll wind

590
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:15.840
up finishing that movement at the end
of your turn. Okay, I like

591
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:21.760
just like that idea a lot.
French Us name is Milton. He was

592
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:23.800
like Milton French. So yeah,
I told you it wasn't a first name.

593
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:29.159
So I guess it's now time to
talk about a game that is it?

594
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:31.119
Is it packs? No, it's
not. No, No, I

595
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:35.480
don't think Sony's not here and Microsoft's
not here. That's correct, yep,

596
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:39.480
yeah some people there, Yeah yeah, yeah, saw the lobby with Great

597
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:44.039
Race all great Race? Is he? Oh? Nothing? Great. Uh

598
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.840
so something that came up right before
we left all left for packs still know.

599
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:52.079
Yeah, well it's the access Yeah. A million, like a million

600
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:57.000
people are playing right now. Yeah, Starfield. Yes we've all played it,

601
00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:59.280
Jeff, you and I and Dan
did a quick look. Yes,

602
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:02.719
I played about thirty ish hours and
I'm in a place where I'm really liking

603
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.639
it right now. It takes it
took a minute to like understand that I

604
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:10.760
was like really liking it before.
It was like, this is Fallout in

605
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:15.280
space. That's good enough. It's
it is h like you know, the

606
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:17.239
seven out of ten scores going around, Like I totally get that. It

607
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.599
starts off at a strong seven out
of ten game. But as I'm getting

608
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.360
down these quests, there's so much
more going on that I'm I'm really having

609
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.239
a good time, And especially as
I got a gain mastery a little bit

610
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.840
of the ship building and the outpost
building, and as I get more characters

611
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.440
that I'm like, oh, this
character is good at managing an outpost.

612
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:39.639
That is encouraging me to go do
so for that post, and now I

613
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:44.559
can put them there and it's like
all these tiny little crumbs that are building

614
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.800
up into something more. The thing
that I am most in tragu about by

615
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:52.079
right now is very spoilery, so
I can't really bring it up yet.

616
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:53.239
Well maybe in a couple of weeks, so a lot of people are gonna

617
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:55.920
start getting there. They're gonna like
realize there's this whole other thing kind of

618
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.400
going on in this game. Uh
that reads into New Game Plus. And

619
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.000
I think the thing I'm gonna say
about it from talking to people and as

620
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.760
understanding it from getting to a certain
point of the story is it's maybe the

621
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:14.480
most the most apt point of comparison
is near automata in terms of like what

622
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.239
happens with the story of this game
as you keep playing it and it play

623
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:21.039
it again, and then play it
again, and it's like a New Game

624
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:24.079
Plus and New Game Plus Plus are
very different from one another, and there's

625
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:27.800
and I'm at a point in the
story where I can see how that is

626
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:32.440
a possibility. And so I don't
know, because for me, I'm like,

627
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:35.679
I don't know if I can dedicate
that much time to a game to

628
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.480
like fully experienced something like that.
But even like leaving that stuff on the

629
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:43.559
table, it is a game that
like is serviceable in many ways, and

630
00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:45.280
then in some ways it is.
It's gonna start off. I think it's

631
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:49.639
gonna turn a lot of people off
because so you are going to go,

632
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.360
you're gonna do a get a mission, You're gonna you're gonna fast travel there,

633
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:53.920
You're gonna shoot some pirates, You're
gonna go back home, and that

634
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:57.840
stuff is very routine, very wrote. And I think it's gonna blore a

635
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.559
hand quite a few people. I
think I don't know if this is necessarily

636
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:05.880
a patience patience issue for me.
I'm about maybe six or so hours and

637
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:08.119
now, and I think the two
skills are classes. I picked was bouncer,

638
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:13.719
which is like the punching of boy
class, the bouncer uh and the

639
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:20.639
chef class. Yes, yes,
chef exactly punching things and cutting things and

640
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:25.320
cooking things for my friends. The
punching aspect has paid off where I am

641
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:30.079
very meine heavy. I can't punch
rocks, so I have to still use

642
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:35.760
the laser field. That's who I
want to be. I want to be

643
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:39.599
Leon Am I talking about it.
You could rock that jack, you could

644
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:47.320
rock that rope, But I want
to be Ashley. You can't do that.

645
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:54.719
That would confuse me in a lot. But like the chef aspect of

646
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:59.559
my character hasn't really paid off at
all. Oh yeah, I picked the

647
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.519
skull or yeah, my my backgrounds, Like that's really interesting and like a

648
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:07.199
lot of that is just like you're
starting parks. Yeah, but like no

649
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:08.400
one like except for the very beginning, no one's coming to be like,

650
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:12.639
oh you're a sculptor. That's well, this is how this is gonna change

651
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.119
or that's happening with long haulers definitely, where like people bringing up like oh,

652
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.840
we need you to help carry this
thing from from place or another,

653
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:20.960
like, oh, you have experienced
with that, and it comes up in

654
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.159
the conversation and it says in parentheses
longer. I guess how long did I

655
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:28.440
pick? Like you know, I
remember I picked, I picked, I

656
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:34.440
picked parents, and I picked what's
the one I wanted? So it's like,

657
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:36.679
yeah, people, I'm always chased, my body unders what's that?

658
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:42.599
What's the word empact impact? So
it's good like speech check. Yeah,

659
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.119
but I can't remember the other background. I Oh, I think maybe I

660
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:52.880
picked like the other scound Yes,
I almost picked that one just because they

661
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:58.239
ain't been perks. Yeah, Star
Wars for Tears. You can live out

662
00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:05.519
the space scoundrel like that. Every
time I've seen anything fromselves out, they

663
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.239
just keep saying the space Schule.
But I think they know what cells there.

664
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:12.199
They have the Jadi game, there's
the Han Solo game. Yeah exactly,

665
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.679
but yeah, that's not really come
up with me. I'm like five

666
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:17.480
six hours into and I think,
I think you've got to still be in

667
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:22.800
the I'm in that fast travel exactly. Like I'm not being money that it

668
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:28.320
has such a slow start, but
it's not a good even going to in

669
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.639
that beginning part if there's nothing like
my parents are cute. Actually, my

670
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:35.519
dad looks pretty fucked up. That's
one. And I think that in the

671
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:39.239
doesn't work backwards from like how you
design your character. Well, I don't

672
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:44.800
know, because Jake deck is the
dad that he had looks a lot like

673
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:49.079
the dad that my game has.
Okay, just the lip is weird,

674
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:55.000
like the lips, Yeah, he
kind of clips through his nose. I've

675
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:59.079
had a lot of bus Yeah,
that's too many. I've been playing on

676
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.719
PC about a fan PC and that's
it's a roll of dice. I don't

677
00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:05.039
think it matters. I think it's
a complete roll the dice. I've had

678
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:07.920
a lot of you had a semi
game breaking bug. I had two semi

679
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:12.199
game to I too. I won
semi game breaking, one actual game breaking,

680
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:15.920
so one where my ship disappeared for
about an hour, so I could

681
00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:19.199
not but yeah, well I'm going
I was doing. I picked. One

682
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.280
of the things I did pick is
I'm very good in space, so I

683
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.559
could like have more oxygen. I
could take one. I did the dan

684
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:29.719
Ryfords perk. Yes, and so
I do spend a lot of time like

685
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:34.639
fighting and trading up in space.
And that was completely not an option anymore

686
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:37.519
because I didn't My ship wouldn't appear, so it would not fly anywhere,

687
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.400
and I could not activate my scanner
to talk to other ships, and I

688
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:44.719
couldn't shoot anything. And I was
fast traveling for a place to place,

689
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:46.239
trying to get the ship to a
peer, and I went to an asteroid

690
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:50.599
field and I heard a big bang
and then my ship flew in from the

691
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:52.599
side of the stain like seven thousand
miles per hour. I was like,

692
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:57.360
I'm back, and it was exactly
and I'm like, what the hell happened?

693
00:43:57.360 --> 00:43:58.840
I was, of course, I
was like top of the pr I'm

694
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:00.400
like, it's back. I hit
something and then it came back and came

695
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.440
back on the trip like, well, that's weird, Like, yeah,

696
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:07.800
it was. The other one was
I was, I was doing the main

697
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:13.400
Quest, and I was I had
there's there's this point where the main Quest

698
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.880
forks and you can go here or
you can go there. And I went

699
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:17.679
here and I did what you're supposed
to do up there, and they're like,

700
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:21.480
okay, now go back to there, and I'm like, okay,

701
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.840
I'm gonna go back to there.
And as I as I did the fast

702
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:28.920
travel, it's like, okay,
you're in orbit and now you can't land.

703
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:30.760
It's grayed out, and I'm like
kind of, I'm like something off,

704
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.360
something's not happening, supposed to happen
happening, and the Pire like,

705
00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.239
oh, the scan for the contraband
that they do when you come to a

706
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:42.599
United the colony system is not triggering
and therefore you're not permitted to land,

707
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.400
I mean, and that just bugged
out. And so that was the main

708
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:49.000
Quest and I had to do this. Yeah, and I would go talk

709
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.360
to people back back here and they'd
be like, go back to the lodge

710
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:57.159
and talk to people and they were
completely inaccessible, and I had I tried

711
00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:59.400
I did a bunch of things to
try to fix it. So all my

712
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:02.920
autos say, we're now in this
zone where this thing was no longer accessible.

713
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.119
So I had to use some Emmanuel
save that was three hours old,

714
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.719
and I lost. So I lost
three hours ship. I tried a whole

715
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:13.519
bunch of different stuffy out Yeah,
and Mike, has your time been?

716
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:16.440
Are you a spaceman? I'm space
I was a big star trek guy for

717
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:21.159
all a long time. Actually like
the newer stuff I fallen off of,

718
00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:25.039
well, like Space Prey Well,
I'm like the likes of ships to be

719
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:30.960
punning a bunch of window I do
like that the ship buildings pretty gummy ship

720
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:35.920
but actually more restrictive than gummy ships
in some way because like you had that

721
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:38.679
specific like joint points here connected.
But I actually liked the shipbuilding a lot.

722
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:43.360
That's fun. I like the game
a good bit. I'm probably like

723
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:46.239
thirty hours and at this point whenever
I'm playing it, I having a great

724
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:50.760
time. I'm excited to play it. But now like whenever I'm talking about

725
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:53.519
or thinking about it, like all
my annoyance has come up that I think

726
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:59.679
the game is still very JANKI the
flogs like even just like the little ones

727
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:01.519
and that people like, oh I
like these bugs, you know what whatever,

728
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.079
I'm not saying they they I am
that person. It doesn't work for

729
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.639
me in this game as much because
it's like the Nasa punk vibe and ye,

730
00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:12.639
the bugs make it feel more or
less immersive. Plays the game around

731
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:17.239
it. It feels more published.
Yeah's exactly, it's Weird's exactly. It's

732
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:21.320
exactly like I'll walk in my ship
and like the one person's out of console

733
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:24.119
and half his bodies through the floor. That's just him. You know.

734
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.719
Every time you like look back your
your computer control to allies like running to

735
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:35.440
get into their spot. You talk
to a person and then it literally becomes

736
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:39.320
those TikTok NPC memes, like another
character walks into them like turns and it

737
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:45.239
starts talking to you while you're already
having like the NPC conversation. All this,

738
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:47.440
you know, typical Befesta stuff.
It's motion engine stuff. Yeah,

739
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:50.920
people creation game. That's you know
a lot of people like, well,

740
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:52.400
what are you expecting? I was
like, well, game took a long

741
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:58.840
time, and there's been a lot
of games is just going I was expecting

742
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:00.920
most of this stuff to be better
stuff a little bit better. It's not

743
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:07.159
a huge field. And then like
I think the biggest Greenman says are UI

744
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:10.599
and that stuff not good. The
lack of a local map for a lot

745
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:15.239
of places is very weird. Yeah, that's bizarre, even just like weird

746
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.639
things like getting carbon into my ship. I can open my inventory and the

747
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.360
ship, but I can't put it
in the ship cargo until I push a

748
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.280
button to look at the ship cargo, then go back to my inventory.

749
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:29.639
Then I can put my stuff in
that There is a small little cargo a

750
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.079
console anything, and it's hard to
find. I did not find it until

751
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:35.639
at twenty four or five. I
found it by accident at night. Yeah,

752
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:39.039
I find the menu system very common
believed might. So the thing about

753
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:43.480
stoff Field is it's not it's not
grabbing me, but there are times where

754
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.360
I'll be playing it, I just
zone out. I'm like, yeah,

755
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:47.800
if you can get to that zone
out face, that's actually where it's as

756
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:52.039
past. But my biggest complaint,
and this is gonna sound weird, but

757
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.519
I also had a similar complaint about
like Callisto, Procol and Dead Space Rebak,

758
00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:00.280
and that is we're to point in
the console generation gaming generation where in

759
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:07.000
lou of a distinctive art style,
we are obsessed with things that look realistic.

760
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:12.760
Yeah, how we fail from a
game design and a player perspective because

761
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.119
things are too realistic. I don't
understand what I can and cannot interact with.

762
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:20.960
Yeah, because it is not immediately
because you have to use a scanif

763
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:22.639
everything. Same asside point, you
have to use fucking scan if everything,

764
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:27.960
And that takes me out of the
experience and the player. And also when

765
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.239
I'm approaching outposts and in those first
five hours you approach at Yeah, I

766
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:36.760
don't know immediately what I can go
up to, Like I didn't realize you

767
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:38.480
could hack the turrets. I didn't
realize you could have everts by finding the

768
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:44.320
little pay they look like in any
other older game. It would just be

769
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.119
something in the environment that you couldn't
interact, like if you look at Dishonored,

770
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:51.199
for example, a very limited amount
of things that you can interact with

771
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:53.519
in the environment. But you know
exactly what we interact because they have like

772
00:48:53.639 --> 00:49:00.360
a weird there's a visual language experience
people made fun of people complained about before.

773
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:02.039
I mean, like the yellow marks, like the boxes you can break.

774
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:06.960
You kind of need something like that
when your game indicates it, And

775
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:09.400
like that's been my biggest thing in
Stockfield right now. It's because as well,

776
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.760
like I don't want to pick up
a shoppy, I don't want to

777
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:16.440
pick up clipboard. I don't want
to you know, there's a ton of

778
00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:20.119
the star and stuff where it's like
you have to learn how to like you

779
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:22.000
have to learn how to play that
part of the game. And it's like

780
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.320
a curve and it's like, shoot
that you're learning curve of Like, yes,

781
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:28.199
so I go up to it,
I look at it, I hover

782
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:30.000
over it. Some information comes up, tells me what it is, gives

783
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:34.519
me a description how much it's worth, and and then in that description will

784
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:37.840
say can be used to construct other
stuff. And if it doesn't say that,

785
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:40.039
then it's just useless, chuck.
And you have to like learn that

786
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:43.800
through and the only way to learn
that is by playing the game for ten

787
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:46.000
to fifteen hours and understanding the language
of the game. And it's up touse.

788
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:49.519
Also, I'm not being done right, but there is no mark for

789
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.840
sale button in your inventory. No, Now that sucks exactly. Yes,

790
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:58.079
it also has like a knock on
effect on so many different things because I've

791
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.320
opened my Inmage transler, You've got
seven bay balls and hate coffee cups.

792
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:05.199
I don't remember how when I picked
up I dropped mine because I just thought

793
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:07.440
it would go somewhere, and then
it just was littering my ship, and

794
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:12.039
then I left it go back,
and so you end up with somehow just

795
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:14.559
a bunch of bollocks in your pocket. Yeah. On top of that,

796
00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:21.320
you when I went to the thing, the ship menu, the little screen,

797
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:23.599
it took me ages to figure out
whether I was putting something in or

798
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:30.280
taking something out fourheaded so that you
would see your inventory and the like other

799
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:32.360
person or things. Sorry here it's
like only one at a time. And

800
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:37.599
then with another thing which I in
this game, I don't think it or

801
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:40.639
I just don't want it in this
game is encumbrance, Like I just yeah,

802
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:46.079
it's twenty twenty three. I get
into but it's way too low.

803
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:52.119
You like so much like it's there
because it has as it's like a load

804
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:57.559
bearing thing for so many different economy
economy there's also like abilities that give you

805
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.639
like you can carry more, and
if you remove that part that you rip

806
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:05.320
out so many So I'm like being
like, I'm just gonna throw all these

807
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:08.360
So it is, but that's the
game. You could almost certainly the console

808
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:12.719
commands will be available here like in
a game now, so yes, just

809
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:15.840
going to console command sit here,
Encumberts level. You should just break this

810
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:17.639
game, is what get wise there. And I'm like, for me,

811
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:21.360
I really like the economy. I
like that you go to a vendor.

812
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:23.239
They only have a limited amount of
money, So it's like, Okay,

813
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:25.559
if I have a million things,
I could just go to there and like

814
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:30.239
wipe out the money for all of
these vendors and just be selling coffee cups

815
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:35.760
to them. Yeah, but I
get the complaints as well. So I'm

816
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:38.000
like twenty hours in and for me, a lot of the stuff that you

817
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:42.800
always talk about is like I agree. I'm also at the point where like

818
00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:45.440
I can play it. I'm not
stirred by it. I'm not moved by

819
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:50.760
it. Sure, it's it's like
given not making me feel anything. Sure,

820
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:52.960
And I think I realized, are
you doing the main quest or what

821
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:53.800
are you doing? Yeah, I'm
doing I'm doing little bit of everything.

822
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:57.519
Okay, I've done some quest that
I'm like really involved and I've been like

823
00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:00.400
that was good, but also like
this is my issue The main issue I

824
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:07.199
have of it is there's a massive
disparity between the quality of certain quests,

825
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:13.559
Like the main quest is good sometimes
and then the quest menu is just full

826
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:19.599
of other things that are just worthless
and they're so forgettable. And that's not

827
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:23.199
to say everything in Skyrim was amazing. It had that same disparity or the

828
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:28.519
difference between Skyrim and Oblivion and Moral
Wind and Fallout, and this is it

829
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:35.760
had a unified world to traverse,
just because it made the act of going

830
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:39.440
from one quest to another also part
of them something that you weren't expected.

831
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:44.119
Even if it's like, even if
on both ends the quest is not great,

832
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.159
the journey there you would see something
interesting, have a combat encounter that

833
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:52.039
was vanilla, whatever what You're doing
something and it reminds you of the journey

834
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:54.880
that you took to its stitches.
In this you get in a ship you

835
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:00.199
fast traveled to somewhere, go somewhere, and if that thing is shit,

836
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:05.039
you're pissed off. Nothing in between
the space, the space for anything to

837
00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:07.719
happen, it's much more limited.
And I'm kind of like that has a

838
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.519
very like big knock on effect because
that's when when I realized that I was

839
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:15.559
like, now I'm in space and
I cannot actually fly anywhere fast any other

840
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:19.320
thing. Yeah, like UI,
and I think this is the thing,

841
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:21.599
and I think the thing. A
lot of people are kind of you're gonna

842
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.920
realizing. The people who are bad
about seven like out of ten scores don't

843
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:25.920
realize that thun. They're kind of
like, oh, yeah, I don't

844
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:30.159
like this. Also, that space
ship stuff is very limited, Like you

845
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:35.639
can't fly from a planet to its
mode, from the orbit of the planet

846
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:37.880
to its mood. You still have
to fast the daddy. Those planets are

847
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:43.039
usually very barren. There's like nope, like there might be a mass affect

848
00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:45.440
one, but they're like there's nothing
there, there's something everything looks but even

849
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.760
aspect one though, like when you
went to a planet, you were there

850
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:52.280
for a while, so when you
went back to the ship, that kind

851
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:53.599
of felt important. Maybe you were
gonna hang out there for a bit.

852
00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:58.800
No in main missions, but like
the random planets would be like, oh

853
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:04.880
there's a two, Yeah, you
have to get in the Yeah, it

854
00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:09.400
feels it feels very I don't want
to say, it feels very like filler.

855
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:15.760
And it also feels like a an
ambition that wasn't realized, and it's

856
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:21.000
very evident because of that, and
I think, like everything else feels it

857
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:23.280
is impacted by not having that overworld
in a major way. And it's also

858
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:27.000
what I think they do best.
So the fact that they did this approbam.

859
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:31.039
I would take one land mass that
is really detailed in the way the

860
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:36.159
time rail stuff was, or you
know, the fallout locations over this kind

861
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:40.199
of expect We've got hundreds of planets, thousands. I hope that game developed.

862
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:44.679
What they take away from this is
like bigger isn't better. It's not

863
00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:47.480
like so even you can't do a
smaller scale space game like Out of Wild

864
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:52.000
is want to keep doing exactly it's
tiny comparatively. Yeah, like the moment

865
00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:54.559
you start playing out or it's five
minutes, five minutes in, you are

866
00:54:54.599 --> 00:55:00.039
having a jaw dropping fascination. Yeah, I think the thing I do I

867
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:02.679
want now this game did not serve
it is the outer Wilds that is an

868
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:06.960
RPUG where it's like it is like
where you can fly to this planet.

869
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.559
It's a small solar system and their
stuff happening on these different planets. And

870
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:14.920
but the act of traveling that you
mentioned, that's super important. But when

871
00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:17.880
they do like really focus on like
a kind of like Keystone Area, I

872
00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:21.239
like that a lot. I think
that, Yeah, that's it is the

873
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:24.679
thing they do. I'm doing him
Neon looks great. Great. When I

874
00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:28.800
get to like a place like Neon, I could stay there for like a

875
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:30.840
few hours just doing all the quests
there, and that's when the game is

876
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:36.000
that it's best for me for career. Yeah, I'm doing space out of

877
00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:42.400
Jensen. What's his name, Cosh
like sat Soldi, he's my sweetcheese.

878
00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:45.400
He's I'm doing, like doing his
stuff and with his family. Yeah,

879
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:49.039
in the middle of that's taking him
to that particular planet in that city,

880
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:53.000
and like I like that, like
a fire Fly city. Yes, the

881
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:57.079
Space Western. I know people are
sick Space Western. I really like it.

882
00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:00.880
Here, the Muddy main Road,
I'm like at it. That's like

883
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:02.840
my favorite quest change so far too
is the Free Star Rangers, which is

884
00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:07.920
the Space Sheriffs. Like I like
the reward for that is great too,

885
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:09.800
Like you get a really meaningful reward
when you finish that something like that.

886
00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:15.800
My recommendation for people will be when
you start the game, you pretty quickly

887
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:21.760
get to what's the first location,
go to the police station, go behind

888
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:27.159
the desk, and steal something immediately
get arrested. Oh you're doing the Crimson

889
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:30.800
Place stuff. That is like,
if you do that immediately, you'll get

890
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:32.639
a good taste of what stuff it
can be when it's at its best.

891
00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:36.599
Agree, if you don't do that, you'll be meandering for a lit while

892
00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:39.119
thinking what's going on. So I
do recommend that it doesn't matter what you're

893
00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:43.239
alignment is. Just get arrested.
Yeah, yeah, like the Crystal Fleet

894
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:45.440
stuff. You see. I'm like
a bit of a baby because I'm like,

895
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:49.920
I'm a good guy and now,
but that it accounts for that.

896
00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:52.559
But you're doing you're doing the free
Star Ranger stuff, which I think it's

897
00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:54.199
the alternative there for people who don't
even want to get arrested. Yeah,

898
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:58.239
okay, but even if you do
get rested, I don't want to spoil

899
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:01.480
it, but you you could play
you can still because I haven't had some

900
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:05.320
quests where I want to play a
different side. Like there's like, I

901
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:07.960
think where there's a Kiosk and I
submitted a job uplication and I ended up

902
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:12.880
getting a job at this kind of
very seemingly evil company, and there's like

903
00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:15.519
a quest like go to the our
arrival and like put a bug in their

904
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:17.400
computer. You go to the rival
and they're very clearly like a mom and

905
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:20.960
pop thing, and everyone there's nice. I'm like, oh, I'll just

906
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:22.760
talk to the owner here and tell
them what they want me to do and

907
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:24.880
how I'm not gonna do it.
And you talk to them. That's just

908
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:30.320
not an option. That's shit because
if you look back to flow out,

909
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:34.679
you vegas or something, you could
probably yeah, like jump in more options.

910
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:36.719
But again, I do think it
is a bit of that is game

911
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:43.239
is so big and there's something too
bigness itself for sure that sure size size

912
00:57:43.280 --> 00:57:45.760
isn't always everything right, but like
there is something about it, like the

913
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:49.320
skill can be impressive and it can't
be cool, and it is like people

914
00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:51.880
are discovering that now with the new
game, new new game plus stuff like

915
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:54.079
it's like people are being blown away
by that aspects. But there's a lot

916
00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:58.679
of crust between there and quest.
You get very unequaled Mantis you should do

917
00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:00.559
that, and it's one of those
ones that you may not be able to

918
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:06.360
complete to its end point immediately,
so it would just hang around in your

919
00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:09.719
in your kind of block but keep
going back yet, So there's one point

920
00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:15.159
where it's like it's clearly a wall
that you need to be quite powerfulish or

921
00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:19.079
have the right abilities to get past, but pay attention to the things that

922
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:22.119
you're picking up along again, Like
it's a disparity between like you pick up

923
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:27.440
a lot of the notepad stuff and
the reactions of its ship. And then

924
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:30.159
that means that when you go into
a quest like Mantis where it's really important

925
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:32.880
and really well written, you're just
like, I'm just gonna button through this

926
00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:37.239
because it's bollocks so far, But
it's really important to that small quest and

927
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:40.039
the payoff for it. You need
to know what it is to get there.

928
00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:45.559
It's a really fun quest that you
should do, especially if you like

929
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:51.679
Batman. I think the thing that
like I've been bummed out the most,

930
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:53.559
and Tim I think he pointed this
out for me, nailed it is.

931
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:59.679
I kind of wanted something similar to
the Outer Wild experience with like the budget

932
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:02.159
to really reinforce it, and it's
just not that, Yeah, I wanted

933
00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:06.360
to be able to like take off
from my ship at any time and like

934
00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:09.960
absolutely crash into an asteroid and be
like, oh I want to be I

935
00:59:10.039 --> 00:59:13.599
want to set my ship to travel
to someplace. Yeah, I want to

936
00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:15.719
get out of the pilot's seat,
go do stuff on the ship, talk

937
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:20.360
to them as we're moving, and
then have the large go off because okay,

938
00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:22.039
suddenly now we are getting attacked or
the raise it the or there is

939
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:25.880
some some up space anomaly and feel
that and this game is is not that.

940
00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:31.280
I mean, that doesn't so that's
our expectations. It's right based on

941
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:35.800
exactly which and I mean there is
obviously the disconnected, but I do think

942
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:37.519
I think there is some there was
ambition here to do some of that stuff,

943
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.039
and you could tell that they pulled
back from it. I think though,

944
00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:45.639
because based off of like some of
the presentations we've seen from Starfield over

945
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:49.079
the past couple of years, now
that that was my genuine expectation. And

946
00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:53.039
you said earlier about like how the
world is better in some ways, so

947
00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:57.039
that Jink stands out more. I
mean, but the going for everything,

948
00:59:57.360 --> 01:00:00.559
accounting for all these possibilities makes it
stand or when some things aren't possible,

949
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:05.719
and in space Fire, it seems
like a very basic things. A distillation

950
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:10.480
of that desire isn't specifically that you
want to have an experience like a wild

951
01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:15.320
You want an experience that presents a
version of space that isn't as bland as

952
01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:19.480
it currently looks. It feels very
plastic. It feels plastic. And also

953
01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:24.440
I think, like I might like
enjoyment drastically dropped when I realized everyone's just

954
01:00:24.679 --> 01:00:30.440
humans. Yeah, and like everyone
he gets some weird like and fauna.

955
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:34.960
But because it's the NASA punk thing, Yeah, it's great, but like

956
01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:40.079
also there's it's just it's indicative of
how little wonder there is in that galaxy

957
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:44.360
as well. So I think they
now, Yeah, so I think that

958
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:49.000
that's there's a big switch happening there. Yeah, that's one. I know.

959
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:51.400
I'm yeah, I don't know where
I'm getting it. But also it's

960
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:53.079
like I land on a planet and
I immediately look at planet and go,

961
01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:57.719
oh, this is the cold planet
instead of like why does this planet have

962
01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:00.960
five moons all obeying each other?
What is going on? That's it takes

963
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:05.400
me like ten hours to realize why
that is happening, or like you know

964
01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:08.280
what is I'm on this planet suddenly
the floor is falling down and I'm in

965
01:01:08.360 --> 01:01:12.679
the core of it and I'm being
stuck through a black hole. It's I

966
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:15.440
go to space and I'm like,
okay, because for as much focus as

967
01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:20.239
they have put on the ship building
part of it, I'm still rocking my

968
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:22.559
first ship. You know, like
I barely did you expand your story the

969
01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:27.159
end of the story? Charge you
want to do? You want to like

970
01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:30.159
the big quest lines. A lot
of those will reward you with a much

971
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:34.800
better ship. And that's like saying
at like making years better you can do.

972
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.360
You can get one of those ships
and use it as your new base.

973
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:42.119
Yeah, and that's a very big
opt so in terms of like just

974
01:01:42.239 --> 01:01:45.599
wandering around and stuff that that's like
the thing where there is some fun stuff

975
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:49.280
there. I've I went to some
random star system. I met a lady

976
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:52.639
who's like, hey, come document
ship and have dinner with me and then

977
01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:57.800
and then and she's like, uh, you know, I know this sounds

978
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:00.199
where it's gone. But she's like, I'll join your crew if you want.

979
01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:01.559
I didn't have enough monet you like
hire or on. So I'm Uncle

980
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:04.679
Mack later and get her to my
crew. And it's like, oh,

981
01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:07.760
I don't that seemed very random.
And then I just kind of came across

982
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:12.880
a religious zealot ship that wanted to
attack me, and I beat him in

983
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:15.559
combat, but I didn't blow up
their ship. I got that killed everyone.

984
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:17.960
And then I because my pilotings Go
was so high, I was able

985
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:21.400
to take over their ship and just
steal it. Now that's my new ship.

986
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.400
But yeah, I'm and it's like
that kind of stuff does work for

987
01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:27.679
me. But it sure it took
a long time and we didn't talk about

988
01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:29.960
much. But the gun play does
feel a lot better then it's felt it.

989
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:34.360
Oh yeah, and I don't know, actually, well, how does

990
01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:39.719
the punching feel. It's it's it's
taking a while to actually just be good

991
01:02:39.760 --> 01:02:44.719
at punching. Ok, it's a
lot of level navy. If people are

992
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:46.320
on the same kind of levels.
I just I don't have enough weapons.

993
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:50.840
Oh no weapons over bullets. Emma
was a fan eventually, like you just

994
01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:52.880
so much. I got. I
had the same thing where Emma was a

995
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:57.960
major problem at first maybe ten hours. Then eventually you just kind of stopped

996
01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:01.360
proboling enough by looting everything, all
these corpse but amo actually killing up people.

997
01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:05.280
You take all the little bullets and
you're good. Yeah. Maybe maybe

998
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:07.760
my time with the game is a
little skewed because I am hardcore trying to

999
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:15.000
live up to my character of being
a punchy chef. Yeah, I think.

1000
01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:15.960
Yeah, there's like a lot of
that where it's like, here's what

1001
01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:19.840
my character is gonna be. There. You start and you actually realize how

1002
01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:22.960
the game plays and how it works, and it's like, well, I

1003
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:25.440
didn't really think I was going to
be getting into a lot taking but sure.

1004
01:03:25.639 --> 01:03:34.880
A lot of shouts out to Janet
Garcia because she had the same expectation

1005
01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:38.400
as me, because she also picked
the cook chef subclass or background and name

1006
01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:44.239
also named her character j Anthony Bourdain. What really? I was like,

1007
01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:46.719
Okay, you're deeper into this game. Does this matter? And she was

1008
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:51.679
like it doesn't. Fucking man.
You do you have like the cooking thing

1009
01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:52.719
and you're on your ship. Yeah, but think a chef just means that

1010
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:57.480
she he got like a starter chef
skill point. Okay, strown me right,

1011
01:03:57.719 --> 01:03:59.840
I thought it would factor in or
something. I get a fun hat.

1012
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:03.039
Sure, I'm sure there'll be a
fun time. Probably I got I

1013
01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:10.400
got a little a little any any
other thoughts on Starfield Set. It's a

1014
01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:13.199
big game with a lot of the
same game. It's right, it's a

1015
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:15.360
good guy. Yeah, I don't
think we've spoken negatively. It's just like

1016
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.880
we think again. It's like whenever
I start talking about it's like, here's

1017
01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:23.039
I agreement, says and I like
they do kind of come up. Really,

1018
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:27.639
if you played thirty hours and I'm
gonna have another five hour session here

1019
01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:30.079
in a couple of days probably where
it's like I just played that I and

1020
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:32.159
the entire time was a good time. There was some jak. I'm expted

1021
01:04:32.239 --> 01:04:35.239
to go home and spend some time
in the same year. Yes, And

1022
01:04:35.400 --> 01:04:39.079
I think everyone playing it now is
kind of coming to that same realization where

1023
01:04:39.079 --> 01:04:41.840
it's like it's a good game and
it's the kind of thing where I do

1024
01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:45.199
believe that this is going to be
their next, like ten year game,

1025
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:47.280
just not the exact same way it's
got. Yeah, And like, just

1026
01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:51.079
to kind of address the elephant in
the room, the people that are mo

1027
01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:58.159
Marius you, the people are the
the are the most upset with other people's

1028
01:04:58.400 --> 01:05:01.719
analysis, criticisms, or diverging opinions
on them. Are people who need the

1029
01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:04.679
game to be more than just a
video game. They need it to be

1030
01:05:04.880 --> 01:05:09.239
an identity. They needed to be
something that they can use others to tear

1031
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:13.119
down with or to reinforce their own
opinions. And if you're that person,

1032
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:16.000
like grow up, grow up first
of all. Secondly, you rethink what

1033
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:20.000
you're doing and it just can't be
there, and you can't expect everyone else

1034
01:05:20.519 --> 01:05:25.679
to treat that game and to play
that role for you. Other people are

1035
01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:28.719
just playing the video game, maybe
some of them are reviewing it, maybe

1036
01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:32.239
some of them are talking about it
in a artistic educational way. Just because

1037
01:05:32.320 --> 01:05:38.800
you need it to be the game
that makes Sony fans cry or Nintendo fans

1038
01:05:38.880 --> 01:05:42.840
cry, or prove that game pass
is worth it doesn't mean everyone else has

1039
01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:45.960
to abide by that same. Good
news is I think this is going to

1040
01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:50.280
get a lot of people to track
game past in many ways, the perfect

1041
01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:54.559
game pass games. Yeah, yeah, you spend that money fifteen twenty dollars,

1042
01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:57.400
You've got like one hundred plus our
games to play it. That's amazing.

1043
01:05:57.559 --> 01:06:00.280
Yeah, you can know like that
for a month. You can't in

1044
01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.400
the second, no life for a
month. To those people, I suggest

1045
01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:09.639
they get into sports. Yeah,
because those days it's a similar mindset of

1046
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:14.199
constantly being a set at a group
of people rude. But it's like it's

1047
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:18.880
the foundation of Western culture, especially
American culture. Tribalism is built into over

1048
01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:25.719
It's like sports teams, you know, Chios versus the other one, red

1049
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:32.519
vines versus the story vers Sierras.
Thought of American Western culture is designed for

1050
01:06:32.599 --> 01:06:36.480
tribalism. So it's no surprise that
everyone is doing that, but it's just

1051
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:41.880
you should that that should only work
up until the age of fifteen or something,

1052
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.920
when I realize that it's dumb and
there's life beyond it. You can

1053
01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:47.360
get a video about this, right, Yeah, well so that's that's why

1054
01:06:47.480 --> 01:06:51.920
fantastic just a video on spot on
about this exact topic and how it makes

1055
01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:57.360
us feel. And hopefully it's we're
not trying to attack people, We're just

1056
01:06:57.440 --> 01:06:59.920
trying to say, like, what
do you say? Would you say?

1057
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:01.400
Awful? Lot? But like the
point of it is like, because of

1058
01:07:01.440 --> 01:07:05.199
this, we're not able to have
the actual discussion about these games. Would

1059
01:07:05.239 --> 01:07:14.880
you suggest people to tamper their expectation
that just two minutes? Do you see

1060
01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:18.039
where you wouldn't? I grew up
to French cinema away from me and I'm

1061
01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:24.840
a bit upset since last I like
the music a lot. Music every time

1062
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:28.559
I'm on the opening many Of'm like
the theme has moments where it sounds like

1063
01:07:28.639 --> 01:07:32.280
the home Alone theme. Sure,
sure, all right, folks, we're

1064
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:35.199
gonna take another quick, bricky break
and then we'll be back with I don't

1065
01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:42.079
know, segment things. One shoutouts
orders, we'll come back and killed Jeff

1066
01:07:42.159 --> 01:07:45.920
grab on camera. I will pay
for my grimes a live execution. We

1067
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:50.800
can't. Nope, Nope, we
can't do that. And we're back.

1068
01:07:53.679 --> 01:07:56.719
May have a new story, just
just two things. I would just pulled

1069
01:07:56.760 --> 01:08:00.880
up on Starfield. There's a thing
like it only supports FSR. We didn't

1070
01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:03.920
talk about the performance really, I
think visually the game. Visually the game,

1071
01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:06.519
it looks pretty stiff, like plastic. It was a good, good

1072
01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:11.320
one. It's still a really heavy
game, and even like on my forty

1073
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:15.280
ninety, occasionally I'm getting like,
like lower than sixty brands per second performance

1074
01:08:15.320 --> 01:08:19.119
as self. For me, there
is a d LSS fan mod going around

1075
01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:23.560
that is a game changer for I've
heard folks talking about that. It is

1076
01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:27.640
the elevator today. Yes, it's
such a huge difference. We are already

1077
01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:31.039
bonds are fixing the game exact day
two, day three. Yes, so

1078
01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:35.000
I would definitely check that out.
If you have an Nvidia GPU, and

1079
01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:40.079
then of course Starfield came out,
then that's a great time to announce that

1080
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:45.199
you're laying people off in closing studios. Volition is shutting down. They announced

1081
01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:48.600
that right after start. It's already
going gone. Ye right, it was

1082
01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:54.600
effective immediately. It's literally sent out
like their tweet about it when the review

1083
01:08:54.640 --> 01:08:57.239
and bart Over started. Whatever is
so scummy. We also did it on

1084
01:08:57.319 --> 01:08:59.520
the last day of the months of
everyone lost health into it, right,

1085
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:01.199
So if if they would have if
they would have shut the studio down the

1086
01:09:01.319 --> 01:09:05.199
next day, everyone would have would
have had health insurance for the next month.

1087
01:09:05.960 --> 01:09:09.199
It really is a scummy as you
can think, this is uh an

1088
01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:13.720
Embracer Group studio. It's under that
umbrella. It couldn't It feels like it

1089
01:09:13.720 --> 01:09:16.840
couldn't be more obvious now, or
it's more obvious now than ever before that

1090
01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:23.039
Embracer just had no real plan that
if the money if that they gove in

1091
01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:27.399
and then they're diving out the money. Spickett got turned off in Europe and

1092
01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:30.159
they they look around, they don't
know what to do anymore. It wasn't

1093
01:09:30.159 --> 01:09:32.479
just Volition as well. Once you
remember those lay offs on the Gearbox publishing

1094
01:09:32.520 --> 01:09:39.760
side, las Gearbox publishing the home
world depths, uh the coult but how

1095
01:09:40.039 --> 01:09:44.600
how could they do? Gearbox was
like the one like consistently this is this

1096
01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:47.000
is the weird thing. It's like, this is Gearbox has successful games.

1097
01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:51.640
They've had mult to the Embracer Underthumbracuer
they had multiple successful games day and two.

1098
01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:55.279
They had another thing recently I can't
remember, but it's like it did

1099
01:09:55.399 --> 01:09:58.720
very well, and yet none of
it's enough. Two was out there,

1100
01:09:58.800 --> 01:10:01.079
Yes, they've read that. There
it is. Take it very well.

1101
01:10:01.439 --> 01:10:05.199
It's sold a million companies in the
first week, so they have hits,

1102
01:10:05.720 --> 01:10:10.760
and yet that's not enough. It
continues to be a really bad sign for

1103
01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:14.640
the future of this publisher because I
think they were expecting, like, Okay,

1104
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:16.720
we're gonna get set up and then
Saudi Arabia's gonna give us that two

1105
01:10:16.760 --> 01:10:19.840
billion and bring two billion here and
there, and that everyone just wants to

1106
01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:23.359
invest in video games. It's so
hot right now, and a couple of

1107
01:10:23.439 --> 01:10:28.199
companies got cold feet, and now
Embracers seems screwed. We've talked about this

1108
01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:32.319
on Game Best about embracers lofty expectations
and that there it's gonna bottom out eventually,

1109
01:10:32.479 --> 01:10:34.800
yes, and men that the whole
idea was just that that. I

1110
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:40.760
mean, if there was an idea
Europe had a very good rates in terms

1111
01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:45.399
of borrowing money in terms of investment, and it's like, we can take

1112
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:46.880
advantage of that because we're based here
where have those relationships, and we go

1113
01:10:46.920 --> 01:10:51.000
out across the world and these studios
that are undervalued right now, we could

1114
01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:55.119
take that money and we could just
kind of it's gonna be instant increased on

1115
01:10:55.159 --> 01:10:58.560
the value and so it just makes
sense. And then the world changed just

1116
01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:00.439
a little bit and now are out
of pocket on a lot of these I

1117
01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:04.880
think the intent if I had to
like look at use my experience and seeing

1118
01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:09.119
covering the business side of the games
is I imagine they looked at it and

1119
01:11:09.199 --> 01:11:12.479
we're like, we'll buy all these
companies up. And there's two avenues.

1120
01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:17.039
We either flip them because they have
valuable properties, or they're popular enough that

1121
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:19.800
they can make a game and it
will earn us money. Well, they

1122
01:11:19.880 --> 01:11:25.319
don't probably didn't account for being just
a group that buys everything. Is those

1123
01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:29.479
games take a lot of time and
investment. So like if your intent is

1124
01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:32.399
to buy a company have them produced
something and then get the money quickly.

1125
01:11:32.760 --> 01:11:35.840
You're not going to do They weren't
going to have a money because they thought

1126
01:11:35.840 --> 01:11:39.199
they want to keep getting to invest. The other thing is like you can

1127
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:43.800
do the flip them because they're a
valuable company. Thing and they did it

1128
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:46.000
with one they did it was a
Crystal Dynamics and the tomb lad of property.

1129
01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:50.239
I think they sold off right,
they like the Amazon for a lot

1130
01:11:50.279 --> 01:11:53.359
of money. Yes, they thought
they're going to do that. They're they're

1131
01:11:53.359 --> 01:11:57.239
going to do that, which could
have been viable if the economy of the

1132
01:11:57.319 --> 01:12:02.399
world didn't shift so drastically, and
also if the major companies that would be

1133
01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:09.800
interested didn't already make significant investments PlayStation, Ball, Bungee and various other studios,

1134
01:12:10.199 --> 01:12:13.199
Microsoft, just Ball, Activision was
in the process of it. They

1135
01:12:13.439 --> 01:12:16.800
their money and business and legal and
everything is tied up in those acquisitions to

1136
01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:20.600
the point where I doubt they're looking
at him Embrace or even we know that

1137
01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:25.079
Saudi Arabia was looking and in Saudi
Arabia was like no, thank you,

1138
01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:30.439
and I to me that sounds like
they did their due diligence and they didn't

1139
01:12:30.439 --> 01:12:32.319
like what they saw. Yea they
like, you don't have a plan,

1140
01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:36.520
and that I mean if lawns Winger
first, the guy that runs Embracer.

1141
01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:39.520
If that's not true, come out
and tell us you're planing, and tell

1142
01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:42.199
us what your plan. How were
your planing? I've been asking for years.

1143
01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:45.079
Was he the guy who did the
interview the day after the deal?

1144
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:48.720
Probably? You know, the guy
who just looked at that sounds RAI.

1145
01:12:49.359 --> 01:12:56.800
The problem for us is it sucks
because they have so many valuable ips that

1146
01:12:56.840 --> 01:13:03.520
are imped to us as people who
enjoy video games. It's about this legacy

1147
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:08.600
game, but it's about many others
they own. Yeah, they own data,

1148
01:13:08.640 --> 01:13:13.159
says State own like they're important to
the history or video games, like

1149
01:13:13.239 --> 01:13:16.520
dat. Sex is a franchise that
is critical to the development of design and

1150
01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:20.920
development of games. It's just locked
up in a in a in a company

1151
01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:26.680
now that has no idea what to
do with it and could like volition is

1152
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:30.039
gone. We don't know what's going
to happen to Red Faction. We don't

1153
01:13:30.039 --> 01:13:31.880
know what's going to happen to Saints
Rowing. Not much. Yeah, Saints

1154
01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:36.199
Row is a fairly recent franchise,
but like it is the one, it

1155
01:13:36.359 --> 01:13:41.760
was the one viable alternative to GTA, and that's important historically, but also

1156
01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:47.359
forget that it went on PS plus
on Wednesdays and down on this. Like

1157
01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:53.199
the thing about it is like we
are doing our best to or people are

1158
01:13:53.239 --> 01:13:58.479
doing their best to kind of catalog
and preserve game history from a action software

1159
01:13:58.560 --> 01:14:02.680
perspective, what happens to these franchises
now, like because they are also they

1160
01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:09.319
have equal value right Like again like
you know Minecroft for example, it's it's

1161
01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:13.880
impact and what it brought to games
is so important that if it suddenly died

1162
01:14:13.960 --> 01:14:17.239
and went nowhere and just like it
wasn't being preserved in any way, that's

1163
01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:19.560
a that's a problem, like and
the same gods what they say, it's

1164
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:24.199
the same goals for for me,
legacy ocame like what they do with it?

1165
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:28.279
Give it to someone who try and
do something with it, or at

1166
01:14:28.359 --> 01:14:33.600
least of the rings and that's least
rings. Yeah, it treated with some

1167
01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:38.960
value so that it's like it's preserved
to it, Like what happens to those

1168
01:14:39.039 --> 01:14:42.359
assets that are tied to those to
those what happens to the volition assets now

1169
01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:45.000
right? And that's my Johnny gat
model. Yeah. The scary thing is

1170
01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:48.199
like the thing, you just lay
out, just give these things to someone.

1171
01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:53.680
It seems like they have little in
sensive to do that because even when

1172
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:57.960
the games succeed, they are lost. They're not They're like, man,

1173
01:14:58.039 --> 01:15:01.439
we're screw We're not. This is
very bad. Are their stock price drafts

1174
01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:06.119
like thirty percent? Even though they
have multiple successful games. So there's Yeah,

1175
01:15:06.359 --> 01:15:11.960
and the lesson for hopefully for a
lot of people is you can't just

1176
01:15:12.199 --> 01:15:15.079
buy your way into the games industry
in that way, like and not to

1177
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:18.439
gate keep it, but like to
be a big publisher. Yeah, you

1178
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:23.119
have to become a big publisher.
You can't do it overnight in the way

1179
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:27.199
that they did where you gobble up
everything because you don't have the infrastructure,

1180
01:15:27.439 --> 01:15:29.880
you don't have the history, you
don't have the expert knowledge. I'm not

1181
01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:32.199
saying give it everything to Sony,
but I would prefer Sony has all of

1182
01:15:32.279 --> 01:15:35.399
it, then Embracer has all of
it, because at least Sony has the

1183
01:15:35.560 --> 01:15:40.560
understanding and the and the kind of
lineage and the history to know that this

1184
01:15:40.760 --> 01:15:44.000
is important. Let's make sure we
get all of this stuff, put it

1185
01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:46.840
somewhere, at least in a vault
where it's safe like that that embraces stuff.

1186
01:15:47.079 --> 01:15:50.239
If Embracer goes under, they could
just be like, all it'll be

1187
01:15:50.279 --> 01:15:57.359
aq, it's all having a THQ. Where is the blob now? So

1188
01:15:57.479 --> 01:16:01.159
much of that was we're gonna brace
from that dat. Yes, what happens

1189
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:04.439
to Keith David? Yeah, listen, you can gotta keep him safe,

1190
01:16:04.520 --> 01:16:06.920
that's what you gotta do. Yeah, it just fucking sucks. And then

1191
01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:11.600
and you know this is probably just
the start of it with the Embracer.

1192
01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:15.079
Yes, honestly that there's some vend
news how to embrace an embracer, Like

1193
01:16:15.159 --> 01:16:18.079
the last couple of weeks like that, there were these weren't their first layoffs.

1194
01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:24.239
I don't know, the flatbows right, so there have been some over

1195
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:29.239
there. Yeah, you're Private Division
got hit as well, and do they

1196
01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:31.680
have anything like coming out? So
it'd be like they're starfild like the game

1197
01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:35.159
like all this is like when maybe
investments that they put in it is so

1198
01:16:36.279 --> 01:16:43.479
the mag and the magnitude, even
the even a like Starfield level success wouldn't

1199
01:16:43.479 --> 01:16:45.880
put then in what I need to
recoup and that that's that was the big

1200
01:16:45.920 --> 01:16:48.119
mistake, is that they are set
up in such a way that you can

1201
01:16:48.159 --> 01:16:50.279
have that I want to be a
success. You can ever in it to

1202
01:16:50.359 --> 01:16:54.119
be a success, and it doesn't
matter. It can remakes many destroy all

1203
01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:56.880
humans as you want. That's it's
not gonna matter if I'm gonna do it

1204
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:02.039
well, grub is is that all
the news? Bioway? Yeah, Yeah,

1205
01:17:03.399 --> 01:17:09.079
we talked. Yeah. I came
up with if we talked at fifty

1206
01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:14.439
out of it two hundred many writers
as well, legacy writers, writer of

1207
01:17:14.439 --> 01:17:17.199
Boulder's Gate, the other thing in
mass Effect and a dragon Age and a

1208
01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:21.039
lot of the developers on the dragon
Age that left or what laid off with

1209
01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:26.439
like we're happy when dread Wolf is
now, which is encouraging, but also

1210
01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:30.159
like it's not a good look from
the outside in to see any studio based

1211
01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:34.600
on narrative and character writing losing or
getting rid of them. And it couldn't

1212
01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:38.880
be a worse look than would Skatetory
takes off the world, We're gonna fight,

1213
01:17:38.880 --> 01:17:41.880
We're gonna lay off the writer of
Boulter skate War. And also there's

1214
01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:49.399
whistlers of Ai suddenly being used for
the Only other thing is I probably will

1215
01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:51.600
follow up with this more on game. This morning is when I have time

1216
01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:55.600
to like actually look into it a
little bit more. But people always ask

1217
01:17:55.640 --> 01:17:59.680
about Vampire the Masquerade too, what's
happening there. The Chinese Room was announced

1218
01:17:59.680 --> 01:18:01.640
that's taking over the development of next
of that game. Chinese Room, did

1219
01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:10.159
everybody everybody Walking Sim's before, which
finally I like this game from walking Sam

1220
01:18:10.239 --> 01:18:12.880
to him versus Sim right, so
it's like it's a very different thing.

1221
01:18:12.920 --> 01:18:15.920
But that doesn't mean they can't handle
it. I guess we'll see where this

1222
01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:18.840
goes. But yeah, this is
like coming out party again for that game.

1223
01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:23.079
But other than that, Jan that's
that's probably what I got. Okay,

1224
01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:30.079
well I got no emails for Okay, sure, BombCast giant bomb dot

1225
01:18:30.119 --> 01:18:33.199
com is the email to side your
emails too. But I think once again,

1226
01:18:33.199 --> 01:18:38.159
I want to reiterate, we had
a fantastic time every game. Everyone

1227
01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:42.039
who said hi, Legends, thank
you a Legends, thank you for being

1228
01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:44.760
nice to me. Yes, thanks
for being nice, thank you Mike for

1229
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:47.640
coming along. Yeah, thank you
for letting me to egg along all weekend,

1230
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:51.039
and yeah, I'd love to do
you know, I always enjoy seeing

1231
01:18:51.079 --> 01:18:54.680
everyone. You know, I've lived
in the same city as these two.

1232
01:18:54.760 --> 01:18:57.439
Don't nearly see them auto because they
could also hang out with you guys.

1233
01:18:57.479 --> 01:19:00.520
Are really is. Yes, we
took a train also, yeah, which

1234
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:04.000
was incredible. Yeah, say all
up for us. Yeah yeah, yeah

1235
01:19:04.920 --> 01:19:10.880
you packs and it was amazing,
Like it was so cool. I'm amazed

1236
01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:14.520
they signed off on it because I
I pitched it as a joke. Yeah,

1237
01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:17.039
because I've been really interested in trains
recently. I think they doesn't like

1238
01:19:17.119 --> 01:19:19.279
this is a good opting for content. The pitch was like the way you

1239
01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:24.039
guys said the pitch is like,
well, we need a sleeper, I

1240
01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:29.239
can't you know, you're right thinking
for safety. H Yeah, so actually

1241
01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:32.039
genuinely, yeah, what you call
people would sleep in the chairs and the

1242
01:19:32.119 --> 01:19:35.199
chairs the cart that we didn't go
into. Yeah, those chairs would like

1243
01:19:35.239 --> 01:19:40.319
fully and were sleeping there. Yeah, I've done that before you sleep across.

1244
01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:44.079
I was kind of worried because you
can't lock them from the outside's fair,

1245
01:19:44.960 --> 01:19:47.960
but from the inside you put a
latch over and then you swing another

1246
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:51.560
thing down so no one can like
Jimmy Jimmy from the outside, which is

1247
01:19:51.640 --> 01:19:55.920
important because like a lot of equipment
I love, you know, we could

1248
01:19:55.960 --> 01:20:00.840
have got my Roger ally now,
which it's a great thing to play arm

1249
01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:02.960
record six on. But then don't
talk about that next. Recently, they

1250
01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:09.239
put out a specific update to improve
performance. Ah, they did, because

1251
01:20:09.239 --> 01:20:12.039
it wasn't not working at all from
start. Was pretty rough on Steam.

1252
01:20:12.159 --> 01:20:15.720
Yeah that's the thing. I'm not
compared them, but Steam that seems kind

1253
01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:19.760
of rough. Still, but I
believe the Well, I'm gonna get that

1254
01:20:19.760 --> 01:20:23.399
a shot. This is gonna be
a weird week at Giant Bomb as we

1255
01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:27.800
get reacclimated to everything. Gave us
to move back tomorrow on Wednesday. We'll

1256
01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:30.880
have Blight Club on Wednesday. Still
probably yeah, we will. We're gonna

1257
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.000
try and have a power Bomb cast
because a lot of wristling stuff happens.

1258
01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:41.239
Book man, I'm so sad.
He isn't even know you boy, he's

1259
01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:44.960
punching people. Oh yeah, he
got fired fired yeah yeah, Well what

1260
01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:47.239
are you so excited about this much? Oh it's sarcastic. We hate him,

1261
01:20:47.319 --> 01:20:50.479
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
he sucks the biggest disappointed. But

1262
01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:53.960
their show is gonna be in Chicago, which is his hometown, and the

1263
01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:57.319
audience will be changing. We'll see. Well, they had collision in Chicago

1264
01:20:57.359 --> 01:21:00.039
the last time. Apparently like it
wasn't too bad. Even Chicago is a

1265
01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:05.319
little over and we'll imagine if Chicago
turns on Punk. Yes, nothing left.

1266
01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:14.000
Yeah, we're gonna have a bunch
of videos slowly trickling out of packs.

1267
01:21:14.119 --> 01:21:17.520
We spent some time at Nintendo Live
General Packs video. We'll try and

1268
01:21:17.640 --> 01:21:23.119
archive the panels. Of course,
we've already had that gameplay of Mario Wonder.

1269
01:21:23.439 --> 01:21:26.000
Yes, yeah, watch it.
It's a really good idea of what

1270
01:21:26.079 --> 01:21:29.079
the game is like, adding a
lot of joy and that. Uh and

1271
01:21:29.199 --> 01:21:31.279
yeah, it's you know, just
happen to see all y'all, y'all,

have emails, but I do have the

01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:39.479
