00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:27,120
It's the Internet. You're busy,
Let's do this. Welcome to the Game

2
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,920
mess Decides Podcast. This is the
podcast where we decide everything about the world

3
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,759
of games, so you never have
to think for yourself. I'm your host

4
00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:40,320
Jeff Grubb. With me is Mike
MINAUGHTI. In today's episode, twenty twenty

5
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,719
four has happened. We're gonna talk
about some of those games. We've got

6
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:45,960
the best games of twenty eleven as
well. I've been playing a few things

7
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,280
here and there. I'm gonna ask
Mike the same thing. We'll get to

8
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,200
all of that, but first,
Mike, how are you doing good?

9
00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:57,079
Yeah, holidays have happened. I've
been picking it pretty easily since then,

10
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,479
trying to really rest recouper a playing
a few things. But yeah, not

11
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,159
bad. The Browns are playing.
I think I'm gonna like really pay attention

12
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,680
to that and interject while you're talking
about the score. Sometimes that's fun with

13
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:14,959
me. I was here Christmas,
Jeff. It was pretty good. It

14
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,239
was good. It was busy,
the kids got a ton of stuff,

15
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,719
and it was now it's kind of
like, okay, where is all this

16
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,120
stuff gonna go? So it might
be time to like swap out some old

17
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,840
things and do some spring cleaning here
very soon and early spring cleaning. But

18
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,439
yeah, it was it was good. The the funniest part was Addie was

19
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:36,879
being really impatient, and I'm like, is she just being four years older?

20
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,599
Is just something going on? As
she was like running ahead and like

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
opening up the next present, like
she was looking for something, and we're

22
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,640
like, like, what's going She
said, I'm looking for Piku Nico because

23
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,920
she asked every single Santa that she
saw the one thing she wanted Peaku Nku,

24
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,120
which is from the game Peaku Nku
to Volver Digital, and so we're

25
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,000
like, we were gonna save it
for last I'm like, we kept,

26
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
we got to give it to her. Now Grandma made her Piku and Nico.

27
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Hopefully she doesn't watch this because we
said Santah brought it U. She's

28
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:07,159
asleep right now. Everybody, we're
good. So but Grandma brought it and

29
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,120
it was it was they look great. But so we hand it to her

30
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:13,520
so she could know. But like
Santa said, give this to her special

31
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,319
and she opens it and then she
basically breaks down with happy tears, crying

32
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,599
because she was so relieved that she
got her peak unique you my goodness,

33
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,000
and now it's been like the number
one gift old ever since she's been playing

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,439
with the NonStop. It was like
a pretty good moment. And then Emmy's

35
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,879
she's been kind of happy with everything. Although there was I know she wanted

36
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,319
an Astro also, there's no problems
there. There was. There was no

37
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,520
problems not having it, yes,
because she was very she was very focused

38
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,360
on the peak Uniko. Astro was
kind of like a bonus. I think

39
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:45,560
she might have mentioned Astro to like
a Santa Hero there, but it's it's

40
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,599
an important thing, of course,
yes, but Astro is actually someone I

41
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:53,319
mentioned this this problem. Someone pointed
out to me that fan gamer does have

42
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:58,319
a Astro plush. I've ordered that
and her birthday is in January. So

43
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:00,120
there we go exactly so she'll and
what do you get it done? You

44
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,120
get for Christmas? Jeff? I
got to write your children. Yeah,

45
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:07,800
I got the thing I asked for
my hiking boots. I got two pairs

46
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,560
of hiking boots actually, so I'm
pretty excited about that. Every day after

47
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,080
I drop the kids off at school, I go hiking and like this is

48
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,400
like a two and a half mile
trail. It's not anything intense, but

49
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,319
I was getting kind of like it's
getting wintery time, winter time. I

50
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:23,039
want something that's got a better grip, just in case, and something a

51
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:27,400
little bit more comfortable and sturdy.
So yeah, that's the stuff for some

52
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:29,479
hiking boots that you got me a
couple pairs. Get me a pair of

53
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:31,400
Columbia boots. They're really nice.
Like I'm kind of just wearing them all

54
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:34,919
the time now and I'm like,
it's not what I'm meant to do,

55
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,840
but I can't help it. And
then I got a really sharp knife.

56
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,199
I've been playing with that a lot. Maybe playing is the wrong word.

57
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,400
Yeah, I actually use that all
day to like open all the presents and

58
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:49,680
stuff like there was you know,
can we get this thing out of the

59
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,599
box right now? I'm like,
okay, oh yeah, we get my

60
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,599
knife. And that was a lot
of fun and it's very very sharp,

61
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:59,240
so that's pretty exciting. Yeah,
how about you. Well, I got

62
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,800
new suitcase. He saw that my
suitcase during our trip in Ola was on

63
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,599
I did witness the death of a
suitcase. Yes, yeah, it did

64
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:08,000
burst open, so I had to
buy tape to get it home. So

65
00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:14,879
I have a new suitcase. So
that's good. Agent got me this Iron

66
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:18,240
Maiden Metroid mashup. Yeah that's really
good. Yes, Yes, that's fun.

67
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:25,800
That's fun. Chris got me has
it coming quite yet? Nose waxing

68
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,120
kit? Okay, he did that
and I saw it. I was so

69
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,800
jealous, like that looks amazing.
I want to wax my nose. There's

70
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:34,879
so much hair there, it's so
annoying. He like showed me like the

71
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,759
paper afterwards, and there's just all
these really long strands of nose hair.

72
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,399
And yeah, it's got to be
really satisfying. Oh. I was like,

73
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,759
I was like, Lord, I
want that for me. He knew,

74
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,160
so I'm very excited to get that. But yeah, I got's got

75
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,199
a lot of other nice stuff.
Got a Ductail's art book, which pleased

109
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:49,680
so you can yes your name Columbros
right now. You have done four or

110
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,120
five episodes of Columbros. I think
it was the fifth episode. Yeah,

111
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:59,120
I think it was the fifth point
yeah yeah fee so yeah if you A

112
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,160
lot of those episodes are free online. So if you like the touchdown Browns,

113
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,920
let's go okay for the Browns.
I really am. I want him

114
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,279
to do well. Joe Flacco still
playing a good yeah hell yeah man,

115
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:17,439
yeah right, Joe Flacco being back
you're really excited about Joe Flacco going to

116
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,360
the Super Bowl. Yes, that'd
be incredible for him to, uh take

117
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,120
the Browns after winning a super Bowl
with the Ravens. Yeah, that kind

118
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160
of deserves that from the Ravens to
be oh yeah, they owe you.

119
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,360
That absolutely cons that they used to
be the Browns, right for people that

120
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:38,040
don't know, the Browns moved to
Baltimore, became the Ravens, and then

121
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,839
you just didn't have football in Cleveland
for a couple of years. Yeah,

122
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:45,000
the Browns became an expansion team.
It was really weird. That was real

123
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,879
weird. Uh, but they're back
in now, one of the best teams

124
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,680
in the league. It's gonna be
scary actually if the Lions up against them.

125
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,959
So yeah, that's fun though.
We would do something. Yeah,

126
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:58,480
and then there's like the thing is
a fandoms got like a bug up there.

127
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,560
But about the super Bowl, like
they said, like the super Bowl

128
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,319
that's really important for us, Mike, it is, but sometimes like Lucy

129
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,560
got sent to like super Bowl related
stuff last year, and if there's any

130
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:13,959
chance, I'm like, I'll do
that this year. Yeah, yeah,

131
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,720
yeah, you yes, exactly,
We'll see. We will sit I mean

132
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,839
because it's like off the like interview
celebrities and that's just now. I don't

133
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:24,800
I couldn't care less about that stuff. So but I'll do it, could

134
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:26,240
do it, I could do it
exactly. I'll do it if I have

135
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:30,360
to. So yeah, uh,
Mike, not a lot happened in terms

136
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,320
of news this week. So uh, why don't we just take a look

137
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:35,799
at what's happening next year instead?
That seems like a better use of our

138
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,679
time? What do you say?
Absolutely? Yeah, I've been thinking about

139
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,080
next year a lot. I know. That's really unique of me to do

140
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,679
that at the end of the year, to like think forward a little bit.

141
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,759
That is what sets you apart.
It's one of the reasons I wanted

142
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,799
to work with you so bad for
you. Wait, wait, what did

143
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,600
you say about me today? I
hate that Mike's right so often, but

144
00:08:54,639 --> 00:09:00,759
he is something basically something like that. Yeah, it's you said about being

145
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,799
your top ten list, Like,
I hate to admit he could be right.

146
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,679
Hey, So why were you thinking
about it next year? Like?

147
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:13,919
Is there something like that sticks out
or is there a dearth of games?

148
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:18,399
I'm sared, yeah, worried.
I don't know what it is, like

149
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,799
like something about some of the layoffs, and then some of the things we

150
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:26,960
found out about how expensive games are. I'm like, what if this is

151
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:33,120
the last good here ever? Yeah, okay, it's ridiculous. I know.

152
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:37,360
I think that there is a seed
change coming, but it probably isn't

153
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:43,519
like a macro level shift in how
it Okay, I am thinking about making

154
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:48,480
a video for YouTube here over this
break where it's like, hey, I

155
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:54,559
do think PlayStation has officially won the
console war, but what now? Like

156
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,559
what now? Like what do you
do with that? Like you won?

157
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:03,000
And it's like the growth isn't obviously
any like there, like to what end?

158
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,639
Has this a victory set them up
for the future, And it's like

159
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,600
I don't know, Like I don't, no one knows. So it's kind

160
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:15,919
of that aspect of it does make
it feel precarious where it's like we should

161
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,039
be at a point where like Sony's
like got all this momentum going for them,

162
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,399
and instead we have more questions and
answers on a lot of like what

163
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:26,120
is next? And so that makes
me worried as well. Now they'll come

164
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,080
up with answers, and overall,
I think games, great games are going

165
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,759
to keep coming out from the woodworks
all over the place. We're going to

166
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:35,440
be just fine. But if you
got accustomed to playing games a certain way

167
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:37,440
over the years, I do think
it's going to keep shifting away from like

168
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,840
what we're used to, and you
might have to like seek games out from

169
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,279
different places going forward, and that's
that's fine. I don't necessarily think it's

170
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:48,600
going to start wholesale in twenty twenty
four, but twenty twenty four might be

171
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,879
a little bit of a preview of
that in terms of maybe we won't get

172
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:54,919
a lot of big games from the
established, you know, first parties.

173
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:58,320
At the very least, you know, there are always chants for them,

174
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,200
there's always a chance for them to
surprise us. But we just don't know

175
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:03,279
right now. I don't know what
are you thinking. Yeah, I think

176
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,360
you're right, and I'm probably overreacting. And of course it's not going to

177
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,600
be as good as twenty twenty three. There's just no way. Twenty twenty

178
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,440
three was ridiculous. In some ways, that'll be nice. I could use

179
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,559
more time spent playing more retro games, or even just playing the games back

180
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:20,960
like for longer, Like I wish
I could have spent more time with like

181
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,039
Street Fighters six really, so you
know, techn eight comes out and that's

182
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,159
the only thing I'm playing for,
But that'd be great, although at the

183
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,039
beginning of the year is actually looks
a little stacked because you have things like

184
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,159
Infinite Wealth and yes, and that
looks really good. Yeah, So what

185
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,720
is like your number one was the
game you're looking the most forward to.

186
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,840
What was it last year? If
you can remember going, oh my god,

187
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:46,720
I don't remember what did we know
about back then? Because there was

188
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:48,720
we knew Starfield was, you know, obviously it was Tears of the Kingdom

189
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:52,879
was definitely up there. Yes,
it was probably Startfield two. Starfield we

190
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,480
didn't know that much about until it
had that amazing That's true, right,

191
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,919
Yeah, that was like my biggest
question mark and where I'm like, I'm

192
00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:03,399
definitely the most curious about Starfield,
but I don't know if I'm excited about

193
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:07,679
it yet. And then that changed
the summer game fest. Hang on,

194
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,440
I'm going to get the list of
a game spot had it good? I

195
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,360
mean last year I think I said
my Toys rathing game I was looking most

196
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,240
four two was Final Fantasy sixteen,
which you know I like. But yeah,

197
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:22,360
obviously for the fact that I haven't
beaten it. Yes, it's not

198
00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:26,360
yet exactly blew my mind or anything, right right, Yeah, I mean,

199
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,000
listen, it's I think it'll be
one that gets a bit of a

200
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,759
a second chance later on when people
are like reconsidering things, but not like,

201
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:37,360
oh, something's gonna be everyone's favorite
Final Fantasy. That's just not gonna

202
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,120
happen with that game. Now.
I said that, I sure looking forward

203
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,240
to Fall Fantasy seven Reaper. I
mean so am I that's up there for

204
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:48,120
me. Final Fantasy seven Rebirth is. I had a lot of fun with

205
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,519
Final Fantasy seven remake. I've said
before, I never finished it. I'm

206
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,159
okay with that. The combat is
just so good that I'm like very excited

207
00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:01,200
to see how they up that system
next time. Because they it's a continuation,

208
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,480
like they kind of can't reset you
all that much. It's got to

209
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,159
be a little bit like Jedi Survivor, where it's gonna carry forward a lot

210
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,679
of that stuff and get even bigger. I think that's gonna be good for

211
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:13,960
the game. I think, Yeah, agreed, the fop facy games have

212
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,840
gone a little bit too weird with
the whole Every game has to be a

213
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,320
big reinvention because it was not like
that like Foul FACI one, two and

214
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,559
three were very similar. Then four
changed the bow system a little bit with

215
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,960
the ATB stuff. Then they basically
use that through nine, right like four

216
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,639
to nine with slight differences here and
there, and those are a lot of

217
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,039
people's favorite ones ever still for five, six, seven, eight, and

218
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:43,600
nine. So maybe we should pick
a bow system and elaborate on that,

219
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:48,039
or even like an engine and elaborate
on that for a while instead of just

220
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,120
reinventing that will over time. You
know, maybe maybe a Final Fantasy sixteen

221
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,279
or a Final Fantasy number game that
is just built off of Final Fantasy seven

222
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,440
remake stuff but with original characters what
not would be uh really cool. Or

223
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,440
head even build it off of sixteen. That's fine too, but build it

224
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,559
off of something instead of really starting
over from scratch. Yeah. I get

225
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,200
that these games take longer, so
it's like maybe part of them is like,

226
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,200
well, we got to be resetting
more of the expectations with different stuff

227
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,399
each time. It's like, no, people understand that they take longer now

228
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,279
and they actually want to have that
investment that they put into learning a battle

229
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:26,720
system carry forward a little bit,
I think, son, do you really

230
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,480
have a problem with what I said? It's really just a weird thing to

231
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,559
say, Like Final Fancy has always
been about change, Like they change it

232
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:43,120
every like five years pretty consistently since
maybe you've been an adult you child,

233
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,759
no give out the time between games, Mike, it's like roughly five years.

234
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,159
Yeah, I mean, yeah,
but I said from like four to

235
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:54,080
nine that they didn't do that and
those are still mostly everyone's favorites in a

236
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,399
large way. Like ten, sure
that that was probably about about like a

237
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,120
five to what that was that was
extended period, Yes, but that was

238
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,600
more like yeah, but I think
the point is, yeah, the point

239
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,720
it's constantly changing. The point is
like they probably should not look at like

240
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:11,200
the amount of years and instead look
at a maybe closer to the number of

241
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,080
entries and be like, we could
do more of this over the the next

242
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:18,000
couple of entries, even if that
is a ten to fifteen year period,

243
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:20,320
because the thing is that they have
going for them right now is they have

244
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,639
so many different tiers and tracks of
Final Fantasy. They can mess around with

245
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:28,759
stuff in Final Fantasy fourteen constantly,
they can do stuff in remake, and

246
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:31,159
then they could do stuff with whatever
seventeen is going to be, and then

247
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:35,759
they can change things up that way. But if it's like a clearly final

248
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:39,039
Fantasy seven, Rebirth is going to
build on Remake and that's a good thing.

249
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,600
One of the reasons I'm excited about
it is to get back to that

250
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:46,279
battle system that we played several years
ago now. So yeah, I'm I

251
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,799
don't know, I'm excited for it. I think it's probably going to be

252
00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:52,200
like even better in terms of because
people really like to remake. I think

253
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,399
this one's really going to build on
that and be better in a lot of

254
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,720
ways for a lot of people.
I Oh, so there is a part

255
00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:02,879
of me that thinks maybe Remake was
really well positioned to be amazing because it

256
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,480
can be a bit more contained.
The beginning of Foul fifty seven is I

257
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:10,559
think the best part in a lot
of ways. But yeah, you know

258
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:11,799
they are. They do get the
build up on something here. There still

259
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,759
are a lot of great moments in
re Birthday and maybe they do kind of

260
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,279
make the openness of it work in
a way. Again, I'm not expecting

261
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:23,600
open world or anything. They probably
open zone. Everyone's copying Sonic. Everyone's

262
00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:29,679
open zone. God, that was
so annoying. I'll never forget when I

263
00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:34,120
caught Open World and like the Sonic
guy corrected me, I wanted to go.

264
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:41,440
I was polite. Uh. Yeah, My my early like most anticipated

265
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,559
game is Prince of Persia the Lost
Crown, which I am hoping to get

266
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:48,879
very quickly at the beginning of the
next year so I could just start working

267
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:52,639
on that game. Hey, Prince
of Persia. But it's like more of

268
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:57,399
a metroidvanea uh, and it still
has awesome sort of wall running and gameplay

269
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:02,519
and and and you know, cool
platforming stuff. Yeah, I want that

270
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:04,799
real bad. I played this game. We both have really liked what I

271
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:07,680
played of it. I'm really looking
forward to getting more of it. So

272
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,599
yeah, this is my early favorite
coming out of the gate. I mean

273
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,039
I haven't really been able to talk
about yet, but I played four hours

274
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:17,160
of this game. Yeah that's right. Yeah, review it's fantastic. It's

275
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,880
great. I like, you know, four hours, Like that's the long

276
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,160
run. I'm just about to say, Yeah, this game's gonna be good.

277
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:26,000
I'm really excited for it. I
mean, I just like Detroit Vania's

278
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,839
I was readjusting my top one hundred
games list because the year's coming to an

279
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,400
end. There's probably like seven metroy
venyas in my top one hundred. Right.

280
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,319
That genre is just like it's kind
of cheating with me. It just

281
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,759
really works with me. Yep,
I agreed, And I think it's a

282
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:41,480
really good place for Prince of Persia
to go. If they're not going to

283
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:45,799
do a big three D one,
a big three D Prince of Persia that's

284
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:49,079
also a metroid Vanya, great idea, they should do that, But in

285
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,440
the meantime, not even in the
meantime, the Lost Ground is a completely

286
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,039
valid and valuable thing to get on
its own terms, and I'm very excited

287
00:17:56,039 --> 00:18:00,759
about it. I don't know how
about what's next, anything else that stands

288
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:07,559
out like January for you, Yeah, if we infinite wealth, Yeah,

289
00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:11,119
but that one's more like okay,
I'll I'll get into this and see what

290
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,799
I think of it. I've I've
never really gotten big and Ya because they

291
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,200
are like a dragon. I liked
like a dragon, but kind of got

292
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,599
distracted and pulled off it. But
I do want to give IFFI it will

293
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,279
all go. But I'm really excited
for tech in eight. Yeah, that's

294
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:27,599
ANIR game. I had a preview
event before. I never really played that

295
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,759
much Techan, but I'm really looking
fighting games a lot at the moments,

296
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:37,400
and I'm kind of just ready to
dive all the way into this one and

297
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,240
have myself a good time. Wait, Christia, why are you sad about

298
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:47,559
Techan? I'm getting distracted by arms
comments in the chat? What are you

299
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:51,759
said about tecan elaborate? Because it's
not gonna have a rollbox, so I'm

300
00:18:51,799 --> 00:18:53,960
fucked. Oh because the neck code, right, Well, let's just go

301
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,920
as to developers if they'll put it
in there. Don't even don't. I

302
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:04,119
don't want to talk about that.
I think they're very receptive to criticism.

303
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,440
And to be back about that,
I don't know what you're talking about.

304
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:11,079
I mean, listen, I'll play
some Tech in eight. I played a

305
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:12,319
lot of Tech and seven when it
first came out and really enjoyed it.

306
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,480
So and I've always loved Teching and
I'm glad that it's still chugging along and

307
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:19,359
has a chance to kind of get
a little bit of of the fighting game

308
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,359
spotlight early next year and didn't get
overwhelmed like Overrun this year, which it

309
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:29,799
definitely probably would have happened. There
was another thing in January. I want

310
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,640
to call out Apollo Justice Ace Attorney
Trilogy. That one's for you. Are

311
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,200
you going to play that? Well? I mean, I mean those are

312
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,680
all kind of long visual novels I've
already played, right, Like, maybe

313
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,720
I played through the original three again
because I mean those ones were it was

314
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,759
so long, and I really liked
them. I do like these three a

315
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:51,480
lot. You know, if you
played the original three and you haven't played

316
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:53,039
these three yet, this is absolutely
must get for you. But it's not

317
00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:57,359
something I'm going to spend time going
back to, necessarily, not right away.

318
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,480
Wh it comes to Nintendo stuff,
the Switch, Mario versus Donkey Kong.

319
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,119
I'm interested. I am my,
I know that, Like I don't

320
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,559
think you are, but I am. No. I mean, I don't

321
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:12,799
know it should be. I know
it's so weird how we love Donkey Kong

322
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,599
ninety four and this is the direct
sequel, and and you like you're a

323
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:19,119
little bit nicer about me right now, you're like ready to give it a

324
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,079
try. Yeah, I'm kind of
like, yeah, it's gross, though,

325
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:29,200
I'm hoping that, like I can
get over the grossness of the GBA

326
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:32,720
game, which I do think is
like something that is so off putting about

327
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,079
the way it moves and looks.
But hey, they're redoing those visuals for

328
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,799
this game, so maybe there's a
chance that it will work. But I

329
00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:44,000
don't know, there's still some of
that aesthetic holding over there. All right,

330
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,440
I gotta call Christian back in now
now chat saying it this game does

331
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:48,519
have net code, Christian, what
do you have to say? Now?

332
00:20:55,279 --> 00:21:00,720
That's right? Roll back? It
doesn't have roll I mean had said he

333
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,960
had rollback, but he also said
this taking a seven hot rollback in that

334
00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:07,599
game doesn't have any type of rollback
whatsoever. So like, okay, I

335
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,640
can do what is what is it
g GGPO or whatever? All right,

336
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,160
hang on, hey, let me
let me diffuse the situation a little bit

337
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,799
here. Confuse this is the this
is the craziest situation has happened. Fine

338
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:23,279
games. Katsuhiro Herada does not know
what rollback neck code is, and he

339
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,079
keeps insisting that his game has it, even though everyone's like, we were

340
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,400
looking at it, We've like dug
into it, we've done all these things

341
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,799
like it's the rollback maybe in the
game in some form in terms of like

342
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,440
animation and everything, but you are
not using what we refer to as rollback

343
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:47,039
neck code, as in predictive rollback
neck code. So it's it's the wildest

344
00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:48,400
thing. They keep saying, no
it does a rollback when it just it

345
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,960
does? All right, situation properly
defuse and explained. Thank you, go

346
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,519
back in your holes now, all
right? Yeah? What's that Unicorn Overlord

347
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:03,200
the Vanilla Ware game? Fuck?
Are you talking? You know Unicorn Overload?

348
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:07,680
Don't Actually I think I said it, say Unicorn overload or over it's

349
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,839
from Vanilla Ware, It's from what
do you m call it? Oh shit?

350
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:15,359
All right? Yeah those fuckers,
those fuckers, you know, I

351
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:22,680
do like their shit sweaing so much. Yeah, pieces, those motherfuckers,

352
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:27,079
like that scum on the bottom of
my shoe, those fucking cleavage weaves.

353
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:33,559
Yeah, those guys. Yeah,
the vagina bone inventors. Unicorn Overlord looks

354
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:36,799
cool because like all of their games
look really cool. Good, And it's

355
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,960
March eighth, actually, so it's
coming out early next year, March eighth.

356
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,039
I got a couple of February games
I want to talk about. Oh

357
00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:47,960
hit. First off, you know
what I played that Grand Blue Fantasy versus

358
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,440
Uprising Relate three hundred and fifty eight
over two days. Whatever it's called thing,

359
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:56,440
that's it. Yeah, that game
was fun, man that you talk

360
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,279
about why foos? That game could
just be called way foos. Right,

361
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,480
there's a there's another Grand Blue thing
coming out February first, Grand Blue Fantasy

362
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:08,000
Relink. I think this is must
be the fantasy RPG game now, So

363
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,920
I don't know, Maybe that'll be
fun. Could you believe Suicide Squad killing

364
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,640
that's gonna be a real video game
in a couple of months. It's like

365
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:22,119
twenty twenty four is gonna be a
little bit slower and you're just gonna go

366
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,319
full hog on anime games. Is
this what's happening? Yeah? I think

367
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,720
I'm gonna be a Yeah, I'm
gonna become a real anime perverts in twenty

368
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,039
Okay that's fair. Yeah, Suicide
Squad uh, same day as Persona three

369
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:38,759
reload. I guess I guess I'll
probably play Suicide Squad first, but like,

370
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,200
yeah, I don't know. I
just have no thoughts in my head

371
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:48,359
for Suicide Squad anymore. Yeah,
it'll be I'll be very interested to see

372
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,240
reviews for that one. Huh.
I I don't know what I I don't

373
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:55,359
know what I want to happen for
sure. I guess I don't need to

374
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,279
have once to there. I don't
know what even is a good scenario,

375
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,559
I guess. I guess the best
scenario is the game comes out and it's

376
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:03,359
actually really good and we're all happy. But yeah, I just have a

377
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,160
hard time seeing that possibility. Who
knows, though, Like you keep saying,

378
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,440
rock Steady makes fun games, how
can the game not be fun?

379
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:17,480
Actually, probably will be, Yeah, it'll probably. But I am pretty

380
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:22,279
excited for Persona three reload Sona three. It's such a good game, such

381
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:29,200
an important RPG. This remake looks
really nice. Even the things that bother

382
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,319
people about it not having some of
that other content either is content that I

383
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,039
particularly care about. I don't need
the fez kind of postgame epilogue thing.

384
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,200
I don't really need the female main
character. It's always gonna play as the

385
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,359
male main character in this game anyway, so that doesn't bother me in any

386
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,920
significant way. I'm excited to play
this. I'm excited to see some new

387
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,240
people try this game out. I
might give it a shot. We'll see.

388
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:56,759
I know it's probably not for me, but I always like giving games

389
00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:00,359
a shot anyhow. Hell Divers too
a few days later. I hope that's

390
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,680
we had a lot of fun.
We played that first one exactly, and

391
00:25:02,759 --> 00:25:04,640
I think maybe, you know,
getting in on the ground floor for Hell

392
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,839
Divers two, there's a chance we
could really get into it. I would

393
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,039
like to give that a couple of
couple of chances, a couple of like

394
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:14,200
maybe streams on Giant Bomb. That
could be a lot of fun. Do

395
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,720
you care about tomb Raider one through
three remastered? Maybe I tried to play

396
00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:22,599
Tom Rader one like on the on
like duckstation right, not too lion Go.

397
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,680
And you know, I'm usually pretty
good about quote unquote aged games,

398
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,119
but even that one, I was
like, all right, that's enough of

399
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,960
that for now. But hey,
I mean maybe there's some proves to be

400
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,720
made. I still think it's a
good thing that this is happening. I

401
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,720
will maybe I'll check it out,
like go straight to two or three or

402
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,359
something which people you know say is
better anyways, and then this game is

403
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,880
going to completely eat Final Fantasy seven
Rebirths a lunch a day before it comes

404
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,119
out. Star Wars Dark Force is
remastered. That's neat that this is happening.

405
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:55,039
Already really happy about this. I
already really liked it when I played

406
00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:59,720
through, you know, the kind
of fan tool that already updated the game.

407
00:25:59,839 --> 00:26:02,960
But I'm excited to see what this
more official version from Night Dive is

408
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,920
going to look like. I mean, Dark Forces is just a fantastic game.

409
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,400
Thinking about the series a lot during
the break for some reason, thinking

410
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,480
about Dark Forces and Dark Forces to
Jedi Knight and Dark Forces three, Jedi

411
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:21,200
Night two, Jedi Outcasts and Dark
Forces for Jedi Night three, Jedi Outcast

412
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,200
two, Jedi Academy, and He's
like, man, they had a really

413
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:29,000
good thing going on there just now
they never would because of the legacy stuff.

414
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,359
But man, if there was a
new Dark Forces, that'd be so

415
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,519
neat. Uh yeah, I mean
god, that'd be I would like it

416
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:37,680
just a sequel to the like original. I wanted to be a shooter first

417
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,839
you're in a Stormtrooper outfit that sort
of thing. But whatever, I would

418
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:45,640
take anything in this series. I
like Kyle Katar and as a character,

419
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,920
I got a couple of those books
that Kyle Katar was in. I love

420
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Kyle Qatar. I mean, come
on, just freak like you know how

421
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:56,720
we we have freaking Chi Survivor,
Like make a new Big Star Wars Shooter

422
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:02,319
and have a just star freaking Kyle
Gatar And why not you bring back thrown

423
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:07,279
Thron's back Thron got brought in.
We don't get caltarn. Come on,

424
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:14,200
come on, they'll bring him back
and they'll ruin them. Uh uh oh,

425
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,279
yeah, maybe I don't want it
to come backcause I don't want I

426
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:18,960
don't want it to hear your thoughts
about him in the next ten years.

427
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,400
No, I'll be very disappointed.
Although hey, I'll take I'll take dash

428
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:30,720
Rendar back to whatever ruin him,
find whatever you can't ruin dash render That's

429
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:40,839
exactly uh Dragon's Dogma two. That's
I'm really hopeful for this. Man.

430
00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:44,319
I've not played a second of the
first one, and I don't think I

431
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,240
ever will. You don't need to
don't go back. Don't don't go back

432
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:52,400
there. That first game is for
you and your brain is perfect, don't

433
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,880
you don't have to check it?
Fair enough, Princess Peach showtime also on

434
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,400
March twenty second. I'm not excited, but I will be interested to play

435
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,200
it if that mays. Yeah,
I'm excited, like in hope that in

436
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,559
the hopes that like my kids will
can be into it and we could play

437
00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:11,119
together, so we'll see. Man, So that Alone in the Dark reboot

438
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,839
iss suposed to happen in March twentieth, and I feel like we still don't

439
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:18,039
know very much about that. Uh
really, but man, you know,

440
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:22,440
I've been playing the Dead Space remake
now Reside Forrest so good. We had

441
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,279
so many good survival horror games last
year. I wonder if Alone in the

442
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,400
Dark's going to continue that or basically
just do what it's been doing for a

443
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,119
long time, or it just reappears
every once in a while and people generally

444
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:41,160
don't pay any mine. Yeah,
I mean, I'm not sure we'll see

445
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:45,480
I just keep seeing skull and Bones. It's distracting me. I mean,

446
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,119
don't even have to pretend. I
mean, I guess it's it has to

447
00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:49,000
actually come out this time, right, I mean, come on, just

448
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,480
release it, no matter what shape
it's in at this point, yeah,

449
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,200
I mean shaped them Redfall was when
they just released that game. But you're

450
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,720
allowed to release it. Yeah,
just release it and let it be bad.

451
00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:03,319
Who cares? At this point,
I'm like kind of like would rather

452
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,960
that happen than have it keep haunting
these release lists forever. Just get out

453
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,839
of here, although I think there
are like people playing it and like some

454
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:18,599
basic thing and they don't seem impressed
weird or reboots everything else, like could

455
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,359
you couldn't find something? You couldn't
find the fun somehow? How was it

456
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:30,880
not just actually of Assassin four like
with the different like without the Assassin's Creed

457
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,319
lor like so it needed to be
yep, I mean, I guest they

458
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:38,079
wanted to make a multiplayer first,
but I don't know Assassin's Creed four but

459
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,319
kind of see a Thieves but still
more Assassin's Creed than that. I mean,

460
00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:45,559
yeah, yes they did. David
Harbor is like a big part of

461
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:48,480
that that alone in the Dark game, and I'm like, I don't know,

462
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:52,000
I do want to see it for
that stuff, because like what are

463
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:55,119
all these celebrities doing in this game? But we'll see you guys. You

464
00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:56,880
guys didn't really know much about Loan
the Dark on the BombCast, and I

465
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,200
just was fantasizing about the history lest
and I would have given you all,

466
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:07,119
did you know the first the first
alone the Dark pre pre dates Resident Evil.

467
00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,640
Yes, everyone knows that. Well, you didn't seem to know it

468
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,319
on your shot giving me a Lott
of course load the darkness, like,

469
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,480
yeah, the first I don't even
know what this is, sat. I

470
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:21,160
didn't say that. I definitely did
not say I don't know what alone in

471
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,480
the dark way? Why did you? Why did you yell at your friend

472
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:29,319
Jan? I can explain to well, because it's on the I was with

473
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,160
Bagular as well, and I knew
it didn't register on the important scale,

474
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:37,519
So it's a part to me.
It's like, yeah, it came out

475
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:40,920
before is evil and it didn't matter
either. Why did you? Why didn't

476
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,799
you? In my seat my stead
assure Jan that Fantasia metso whatever is going

477
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:49,720
to be more like persona than Shimagami
tense. He's going to be fine.

478
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,400
Oh because that one. I'm like, it looks more like persona, but

479
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,200
I don't know, have no idea. It's like it's straight up persona.

480
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,640
It's the persona people. It's just
it is just fantasy person It's fantasy persona.

481
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,720
Right, That's what I would have
said, but I still wasn't like

482
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,319
that was my guest or remember hearing
that, maybe I'm gonna I got a

483
00:31:07,359 --> 00:31:10,440
text Jana time it will be okay
with no other context. That's a good

484
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:18,839
idea anything, uh that that Rise
of Ronan game. I'm also pretty into

485
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,079
the way this game looks. I
don't know, though, It's like,

486
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,440
guy, this is the one.
Yeah, this was the one that I

487
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,400
was a little surprised. This was
the one where all of you were excited

488
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,160
about John Bullman. I was like, why, I didn't quite get it.

489
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:33,240
I just think it looks. It's
got a good look. It's got

490
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,839
a strong vibe to it. So
I don't know, not getting the vibe.

491
00:31:36,839 --> 00:31:37,759
I'm like, this is where we
fight. I think it's gonna be

492
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:42,119
okay, Yeah, that's that's fair. I mean, okay, listen.

493
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:48,160
And maybe it's just that I was
comparing this to that Stellar Blade game that

494
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,319
that just got delayed, and that
Stellar Blade game is like the most Moisturizer

495
00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:53,920
game ever, and it's and it's
like so generic looking to me, and

496
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,519
I'm like, this looks better than
that. I think that's what happened to

497
00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:00,640
him. I'm going to become Team
Moisturizer. I think here right are on?

498
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,279
Look, I'm sure it's gonna be
a lot of fun. It's this

499
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:07,319
is basically Neo three almost right,
yeah, yes, basically. So I

500
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:09,720
don't know sure, I don't.
I just like the style. Uh,

501
00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:14,279
okay, what do you mean?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's

502
00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:17,839
just like realistic samurais right like Samurai. Yeah, I think that's what it

503
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,079
is. That's all it is.
He's got, he's got, he's got

504
00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:27,160
the big pant legs. Okay,
yeah, Samurai in the Samurai Showdown.

505
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:32,279
Yeah, it's fine. Yeah,
Like I like the way it looks because

506
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:39,799
the Samurai. Hey have you have
you watched that Rebel Moon? I saw

507
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:45,400
that you did? Why what I
say? It's trash? But he sucks

508
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:52,920
as he's so good. It sucks
so bad. No I had to it's

509
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,640
uh it's seventh Samurai, but suck. It's just it's like the worst version

510
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,400
of seven Samurai you've ever seen.
And they made a version of seven Samurai

511
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:07,920
with fucking Chris Pratt, so like
it's real bad. So anyway, whenever

512
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,240
there's like something like tangently Samurai related, I get pretty grateful. I want

513
00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:15,640
to show you only the episode of
Star Trek the Space nine that's called the

514
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,720
seven for Rain and see what you
think of that one. Oh, let's

515
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,599
go. I'm down a famous musician? Is it pop? Is it it?

516
00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:30,599
What really is he a. No, he's he's uh weird choice.

517
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:37,000
He's a different Aliat. It's been
a while, but yeah, he make

518
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:42,480
a good ram no more obscure.
He's from the Gamma quadrants. Sure,

519
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:45,640
yes, Uh okay, what else
you got from the list you want to

520
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:52,960
pick out? Uh? He in
Chronicle hundred Heroes is the uh spiritual successor

521
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,359
to sweek it In. I am
excited for this game. I have some

522
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,559
reservations just because that sort of early
Action RP spin off they made was not

523
00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:06,559
good, right, I mean I
was like excited about this iud in Chronicle

524
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,119
in terms of like I thought it
looked really cool, and then I saw

525
00:34:08,119 --> 00:34:12,599
that other io did and came out
and no one cared. Right now,

526
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:15,679
that was always like I don't know
if it was exactly a kickstarter like stretch

527
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:19,920
Goal or whatever, but it was
always supposed to just be some extra side

528
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,800
thing. But it was bad,
Like I couldn't stand it, to be

529
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:28,639
clear. So you know, that
wasn't necessarily made by these people or whatever.

530
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,320
But it does give me a slight
bit of pause here. I mean,

531
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,480
you know, with these spiritual successor
things, right, they can go

532
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,079
a couple of ways. Always,
sometimes you get a blood Stained Curse of

533
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:43,840
the Moon. Sometimes you get a
mighty number nine. You never really know.

534
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:50,559
And then in terms of games,
they have dates Blackmith Wukong on August

535
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:54,760
twentieth, and then Warhammer forty K
Space Marine two on September ninth. Space

536
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,840
Marine one is one of those games
that was like I was always going to

537
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,000
get to someday, saying I played
a little bit of it. I played

538
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,000
like an hour of it when there's
a bunch of other games I was playing,

539
00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,880
then never went back and like this
is this seems cool? Yeah,

540
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:13,039
so uh yeah, it's it is
weird. I guess that's the weird thing

541
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,880
is just how little in the back
half of the year. I guess that's

542
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,760
not that weird. But even yet
it's well, I mean, we have

543
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,639
like to be determined games like the
ones i mean avowed baby steps. These

544
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:29,440
are the ones that I'm just like
jumping out to meet delayed games exactly.

545
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:31,400
Yeah, I mean that's true for
the like the later ones that we were

546
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,679
just talking about as well, those
could easily all get delayed. Let's see,

547
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,480
I mean the Nesty to Expansion,
the Final Shapes coming out on TU

548
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,159
and fourth. You think the pressure's
on with that one. Oh differently,

549
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:45,280
definitely, yes, and yes they
got them. They have to hit with

550
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:51,280
that one or else things are going
to be bad at Bungee Exhibition is a

551
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,280
mud runner game. That's actually my
most anticipation. I'll play this one this

552
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,360
time. Hell yeah, let's go
that. I think this will be a

553
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,039
good one to like play together.
The last one was pretty okay, but

554
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,880
it's the online was like a little
bit under baked. I thought, I

555
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,679
think they'll probably figure out this time
because it seems to be, Hey,

556
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,559
a mud runner game that you're supposed
to play together basically. So I'm looking

557
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:15,360
forward to this. What else down
trail? I suppose you're probably looking forward

558
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,960
to that. Oh right, that'll
probably come on the holidays. The next

559
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,159
one, Fantasy fourteen expansion. Sure
now yeah, Final Fantasy fourteen launches on

560
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,639
Xbox next year. Oh right,
Yeah, that'd be cool. Another resurgence

561
00:36:24,639 --> 00:36:30,039
of players. Yeah, Haitis two
of course. God, that'll be early

562
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:32,360
access, but give it to me. Yeah. So Outlaws is Star Wars.

563
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,679
Outlaws is supposed to come out some
point next year. I'm still pretty

564
00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:39,280
hopeful for that game. I thought
that pre GOVID we got at Ubisoft Subbar

565
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,000
game FA thing looked great. There's
a lot there that I am really excited

566
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,559
about. I'm hoping that hits.
Yep, me too. I like a

567
00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:54,360
big budget Star Wars game really just
like a big budget space game as well,

568
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,760
So I'm hoping that'll hit. I
think it looks pretty good and it

569
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:04,079
seemed I mean it's from Massive,
and Massive did a really solid Avatar game,

570
00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:07,159
and now that looks like they're putting
even more effort into Outlaws. I'm

571
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:10,679
like, that's a studio with a
pedigree of like, none of the games

572
00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:15,280
have been ever like bad, the
Division games I like a lot. Actually

573
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,599
yeah, right, So I'm like, man, that's I'm getting really hopeful

574
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:21,480
for Outlaws. I mean, obviously, after the the you know, the

575
00:37:21,519 --> 00:37:24,280
trailers and the gameplay previews that they
showed, those looked really good, so

576
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,360
of course I'm geting my hopes up. But I'm just like thinking about it

577
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,599
more. I'm like, this could
be like one of the best games of

578
00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:34,679
the year, maybe even so you're
not risking anything when you get your hopes

579
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,880
up, right, right, Yeah, you get disappointed that Does that really

580
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,599
hurt you all that much? Now? Exactly exact, especially with Star Wars.

581
00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:49,880
I'm sorry yeah, yeah, so
I don't know, between Expeditions and

582
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,519
Prince of Persia and Star Wars Outlaws, there's definitely stuff I'm looking forward to.

583
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:55,920
And then we were going to kind
of, you know, veer into

584
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,920
this as well. But yeah,
there's a lot of stuff we don't know

585
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,480
about. And he guesses about like, hey, but what's gonna come out

586
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,039
of Microsoft? I mean, obviously
a vowed could launch. Help Bay two

587
00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:09,039
seems like it's probably going to launch
next year. Any surprises from Xbox,

588
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:14,800
PlayStation, Nintendo, there's well,
there's gotta be some kind of surprise for

589
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,320
PlayStation. This's gout I think twenty
twenty four games side from my Last of

590
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,599
Us Part one remake, and if
you're just like thinking of it critically,

591
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:25,039
and if it can't be something from
Naughty Dog, it's not gonna be something

592
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:29,639
from Gorilla. I mean, I
don't know. There's a million Horizon things

593
00:38:29,679 --> 00:38:31,440
I forgot about. Let's not count
those. And if it's not gonna be

594
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:37,039
from Insomniac because we see their slate, I mean, it's it seems like

595
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:42,000
it's Sucker Punch is probably gonna be
there with Ghost Maybe we're gonna get that

596
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:45,239
revealed and like an early part of
the year and then it comes out on

597
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,280
holiday. That just seems to make
the most sense unless it's something really kind

598
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,320
of out of left field, which
I can't predict, that would be where

599
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,440
I put my money on. I
mean, Blue points up to something,

600
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,880
right and yeah, I knew Ip, Yeah, yeah, it's it's It's

601
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:06,159
tough to say, but I think
early part of the year we probably get

602
00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,519
updates from all three of the companies
one way or the other, and I

603
00:39:08,519 --> 00:39:12,960
think we, like, this is
my personal guess, that we from Nintendo

604
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:15,440
we hear about Metro Prime four in
like that first erect of next year.

605
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,280
I hope we do, anyhow.
And then from Microsoft they lay out the

606
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,079
dates for these games that are like
hovering around. Maybe they have another high

607
00:39:23,079 --> 00:39:27,559
Fi rush kind of Shadow Drop that
would be cool. Probably don't have one

608
00:39:27,559 --> 00:39:30,400
of those every year, though,
And then yeah, Sony, I think

609
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,440
they set up probably two to three
games that are relatively big, maybe the

610
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,800
Marquee game being Ghost of Sushima two
that would be that would be really cool.

611
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,599
If they have that, I think
they're gonna be set for the year

612
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:45,159
again. So yeah, yeah,
all right, Mike, should we get

613
00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:46,440
on with it? Is that is
that good? Any other final thoughts I

614
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,519
guess about games that are coming out, No, just you know, and

615
00:39:50,599 --> 00:39:52,719
I was being kind of pessimistic about
this year, But when I do look

616
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,320
at the schedule, Yeah, there's
a lot of games I still care about.

617
00:39:54,519 --> 00:39:59,119
A Yeah, look like when I
talked when I was talking about twenty

618
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,639
twenty three before you know, here's
the Kingdom. The games I thought I

619
00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:07,239
was really excited about were like those
three that were coming out all in that

620
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,079
same moth, like fo Off,
Bhusy sixteen, Diablo four, Street Fighter

621
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:13,239
six. Yeah, Straight Far six
was great. Those other games were very

622
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,960
good or good. But you know, there always are weird surprises, like

623
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,719
I never would have thought I liked
boulders Gate three all that much last year.

624
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,400
I didn't think allen Way two was
gonna be some big deal for everybody.

625
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,400
So it's gonna be interesting to see, like what if we have any

626
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,800
of those again this year? Right? Maybe, Like imagine if Loan the

627
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,280
Dark came out and everybody actually loses
their mind over it something like that.

628
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:37,239
All right, we're gonna take a
quick break. When we get back,

629
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,920
we're gonna discuss the best games of
twenty eleven, and also went through your

630
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:46,440
super chats. We'll do all that
right after this and we're back, Mike.

631
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,159
We got a bunch of super chats. We should get to those.

632
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,719
Man. Well, Jesu, we
did thank everybody. Uh all right,

633
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,280
ol grug says, hi is Mike
watching a sports team or is he being

634
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,199
a professional podcaster? And like some
people also, how about them Browns and

635
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:00,800
Alliance? It is it's funny.
What's the other doing? Now? You

636
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,440
know what? I'm like, kind
of cold of want to watch them,

637
00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:06,800
but I know, well there was
an interception touchdown for the Jets, but

638
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,599
it looks like the Browns have scored
since then. It's only halftime at thirty

639
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:15,519
four. You know, this actually
counts towards my super Bowl for a fantasy

640
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:20,280
football in the league that you invited
me into. This season, I invited

641
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,280
Jeff into my like family and friends
fantasy football league as we needed an extra

642
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,039
person and he's in the finals.
I'm in the finals, and it really

643
00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:31,000
it turned around for me mid season
when I played you, and I remember

644
00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:34,440
like, because I lost a bunch
in a row, and you were like,

645
00:41:34,639 --> 00:41:36,960
you lose all these ones and now
you know, of course you have

646
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:37,960
to beat me and I'm like,
I think this is I'm gonna go on

647
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,360
a run. I think this is
for me. Yes, and I won

648
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,519
a bunch after that and made the
playoffs and now here we are. My

649
00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:50,039
poor brother Chris just dominated all regular
season. Just he was like so many,

650
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,400
so far ahead twelve and two or
something like that when we watched twice

651
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:55,400
huge points later. And then of
course he loses his first playoff game,

652
00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,920
first first round. Yeap, that
was a bummer. Nick says, what's

653
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,400
a canceled game concept you wish would
come back around? I think about Retro

654
00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:13,719
Studios sheet Zeta game or the Diaty
slash Donkey Kong racing concept. Huh that's

655
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:19,039
interesting. Uh, I'm sure there's
gotta be Yeah, that's what I'll just

656
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:22,480
say, Like a canceled sequel like
like, you know, sure would have

657
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,599
been cool if they made uh Megan
Legions three, Like of course I would

658
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:30,760
have liked that. But yeah,
yeah, and uh I had one in

659
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:35,400
my head and I lost it.
But I don't know. I think really

660
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,400
in general, I just want Factor
five back. I want to keep doing

661
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,960
stuff. I wish they were still
around making games. I wish that they're

662
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:45,320
I would because they pitched for a
uh kidder risk game at some point,

663
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,239
and it would have been cool if
that happened. Yeah, there you go,

664
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,000
that would be really cool. Yeah, for them to just to be

665
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:52,119
able to like uh lack of a
better term, spread their wings and try

666
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:57,639
other stuff even or just keep making
Star Wars things, making Flight Arcadie games.

667
00:42:57,679 --> 00:43:00,320
I would have liked all of that. I think Retro also to make

668
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,119
a Metro Tactics for the Wei at
one point, like that would have been

669
00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:06,480
fun. I think ye. Also, Retro may literally also Metro one to

670
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,000
do a Zelda Texas game. Yep, they had a Yeah that's did you

671
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:13,719
know gaming has a bunch of stuff
on all of those Since very might just

672
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,880
say no to Retro, you let
Retro do what they want. Yeah,

673
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,639
And it's like they were like,
you get like these three people have very

674
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:22,159
different taste all to say yes to
get a game made. I'm like,

675
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:23,760
well, that sounds like that should
not be the case for Retro. They

676
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,239
should get a kind of a maybe
a little bit more rope than that.

677
00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:31,360
Of course, Baileaf Moon in chat
says Titan Fall three, all that stuff

678
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:36,199
that they were going to do with
Titan Fall three basically titan Fall three being

679
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,280
Tightenedfall but inspired by Hades. Fuck
yeah, God, actually I get mad

680
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,920
every time I think about that.
Not to say the curse word, but

681
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,280
hey, a Platinum Games game where
you right out of Dragon would have been

682
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:54,000
cool. You can't you can't say. Ryan Allen says Against the Storm,

683
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:58,760
late Game of the Year contender,
Against the Storm? What's that? Why

684
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,360
is look it up? Jeff?
Let's you know, I don't know.

685
00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:05,360
I'm looking at it right now,
Against the Storm. It sounds familiar.

686
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,920
Thirty five percent on the Steam cells. Did you get a thing in the

687
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,760
steam cells? Uh? No,
overwhelming positive research. It's a city builder.

688
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,400
It looks it looks heady filter.
Yeah, you know what kind of

689
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,800
looks like a I don't know the
way Heartstone looks like. It's a you

690
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,800
know, is a spinoff of World
Warcraft. Something about this has a very

691
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,559
World of Warcraft fantasy vibes about it. Sure Ti on my birthday? Okay,

692
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,440
yeah, this game Against the Storm? Okay, maybe I will.

693
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,400
I will check this out. I
just I'll talk about later. But I

694
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,960
just finished my first campaign of Steam
World Build, and I really like that.

695
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,039
I don't know if I'm going to
play another campaign, but I might

696
00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:43,480
be down for like a different game
in the same genre. The Trayment says,

697
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,320
twenty twenty three is crazy. Do
you think it might be rational for

698
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:50,519
depths deliberately delayed games for release in
years that look more like twenty twenty four

699
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,639
with less competition. I think it's
just too complicated to really factor that in

700
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,400
too much. Can't time. Maybe
you can maybe make some like last minute

701
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,119
like slight delays if you if you
think that's good, kind of like what

702
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:04,760
Alan Wake did it. It just
it's delate ever so slightly at the end

703
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,639
there. But I don't know if
you can really think about years and months

704
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:13,079
or things like that, just in
terms of crowded schedules. Yeah, and

705
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:15,159
if you I mean, and Alan
Wake had the benefit of not having a

706
00:45:15,159 --> 00:45:20,000
physical version, right, so that
gives them a little bit more more leeway.

707
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,079
Are they doing good? What's it? I can see your face or

708
00:45:23,119 --> 00:45:27,159
something happening with the Browns? No, I'm just reading super chats. What

709
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:30,840
are you talking about? But do
you think you could read my mind?

710
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,800
Like? What are you talking?
Just like this like apprehensive, like you

711
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:39,599
said, happening look on your face? No, just reading that looks like

712
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,719
wow. Weird. Okay, I
forgot what I was talking about, so

713
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,199
you can read the next super chat. He says, Hey, Jeff,

714
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:51,800
does the leaked Insomniac buills that PC
gamers have made a playable affect how Sony

715
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:57,199
feels about releasing PC ports where likely
seeing Horizon in February and PC? What

716
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,360
about Last of Us two in PC
after? Nah? No, they're kind

717
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:06,960
of unrelated. I don't like if
you're implying that makes it feel more positive

718
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,480
about it because like people are playing
it on PC and that the crowd is

719
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:14,199
excited about it, probably not.
And if you're imply that it makes them

720
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:19,159
more apprehensive because the PC crowd's already
playing it. No, they're still thinking

721
00:46:19,159 --> 00:46:22,280
about the money. That's the thing
that matters most of them. And putting

722
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:27,079
these games out on PC a year
later, two to three years later,

723
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,760
that's still going to get them that
little bit of extra money. It makes

724
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,000
it just a little bit more worth
it. So no, no, I

725
00:46:31,039 --> 00:46:36,280
don't think it affects anything. Baileaf
Booth says, I'm excited for a quieter

726
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,360
twenty twenty four. The backlog is
so big, I'd be happy to just

727
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:44,760
work through. That also gives focus
to play all the great indies. Yeah,

728
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,519
you know, it is kind of
hard. I'm not exactly sure what

729
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:49,920
indies are coming out next year.
Hey, okay, Jeff, let me

730
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,400
ask you this right now. Is
Silk Song coming out next year? Spoon

731
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,239
Heaven? Is that next year twenty
twenty four will be the year of spoon

732
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,639
Heaven? Everybody. I have no
idea, but why let's got everyone's hopes

733
00:47:00,679 --> 00:47:02,519
up? Why not? I don't
give a shit, I mean we should.

734
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,400
Is Hades two going to be only
in early access in twenty four?

735
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,239
I think we'll even get the you
think we'll even get the full release next

736
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:16,599
year? I expect that after the
very successful development cycle last time, where

737
00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:21,320
that was in early access for at
least a year. I think it was

738
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,519
a longer, but at least a
year, they'll do at least a year

739
00:47:23,559 --> 00:47:27,880
of early access and that gives them
a chance to get all the feedback again

740
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,880
and then get a maybe switch to
at that point a launch ready and do

741
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,920
it exactly like they did last time. And then Nintendo will be right there

742
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,360
ready to promote the game in a
big way because they had a really good

743
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,480
relationship with Hades one, because it
sold so well on the switch, so

744
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,559
I think that they're primed and ready
to do it pretty similar to what happened

745
00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:50,000
last time. The ten Derek says, hype to start twenty twenty four right

746
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,239
away with a new Ace Attorney collection. I've played any of those games since

747
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,239
their release, so I'm excited to
visit them. Sounds like the opposite of

748
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,239
me where I played those ones on
the release, so I'm kind of good

749
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,760
there. What I I do hope
that next we get the mouse Edgeworth games,

750
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,880
because one of those we never got
localized, so they localize that one

751
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,280
and it would be a new game. They're probably gonna announce a new Ace

752
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,760
Attorney at some point here, I
imagine. Also, yeah, I think

753
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,440
so. I mean, I know
it's not the same publisher, but Professor

754
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:21,239
Layton's back, so I would assume
like if I can come back, Ace

755
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,000
Attorney should definitely be back and bigger
than ever. You know what. They

756
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,519
should also just poort Professor Layton versus
Ace Attorney on there. Yeah, they

757
00:48:27,519 --> 00:48:30,119
should. I never played that.
I would like that I bought it and

758
00:48:30,159 --> 00:48:32,800
never played it. I don't know
why, I just got distracted. They

759
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,239
should put a Detective Pikachu in there. As well, just a mix thing.

760
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,840
Must say that game came out this
year. Huh, I guess it

761
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:45,159
didn't. What's it like between that
and Bayonet Origins? Which one would you

762
00:48:45,159 --> 00:48:49,239
play first? Oh? Bayonet Origins? Same? I thank you? Yeah,

763
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,039
god weird yeah man' that's just two
like the ten on me switch games

764
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:57,280
that you kind of forget about the
yep, definitely, mister pad Rego eight

765
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,639
says High Up the Irons, Ben
Haughty and Jeff Metal Health grub A shocked

766
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,760
no one mentioned Burnout Paradise in the
two thousand and eight list, and felt

767
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,679
in my duty to mention this game
before the franchise got shelved forever. Yeah

768
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:14,599
yeah, I like I like Burnout
Paradise. Burnout Paradise. I like that

769
00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:16,519
game a whole lot. I think
I'm at a point where I can admit

770
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:22,079
to myself I think I like Burnout
three better. Yeah, yeah, same.

771
00:49:22,159 --> 00:49:24,639
But I do love Paradise, and
it's one that whenever I go back

772
00:49:24,679 --> 00:49:28,559
to play, I end up playing
for way longer than I expected. I'm

773
00:49:28,599 --> 00:49:30,159
like, oh, i'll dive in, I'll play this for fifteen minutes,

774
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,840
and then I always end up playing
for like three hours. It's just it's

775
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,119
just fun to drive through those billboards
and things like that. Paradise is a

776
00:49:37,159 --> 00:49:39,800
good game. That was also Pad's
first super chest, So thank you so

777
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:45,360
much, appreciate it. ETO coolest
is what game from your guys backlogs are

778
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:52,039
you most ashamed? You haven't played
yet? You know what? You know?

779
00:49:52,079 --> 00:49:58,880
A game I've never played? Jeff? What's that? The Dark Souls?

780
00:50:00,039 --> 00:50:01,360
Sure, yeah, I've just ever. I started it at like three

781
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:06,400
or four times, and I couldn't
get into it, like from the very

782
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,440
beginning. It's just like, I
mean, I get that it's already confusing,

783
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:14,360
but it's not already fun. So
what do I do here? It's

784
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,360
just like, well, I didn't
beat Dark are Demon Souls, so I

785
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,480
should beat that first, right that
I just never did. I've bet a

786
00:50:20,519 --> 00:50:22,679
lot of Demon Souls for the remake
on PS five and that one. I

787
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,679
also kind of like, ah,
I just I'm okay, I'm good.

788
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,840
I don't know. I maybe that's
one of the ones I could like stream

789
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,320
so I can get the recommendations from
the chat to like, oh, here's

790
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,800
how you like get into it quicker. I always appreciate that, but I

791
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,079
don't know right now, Like the
No go ahead. No, you guys,

792
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:40,920
sorry, I was gonna say.
The game that's like eating at me

793
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,079
the most right now is still Star
Wars Shdow Survivor. I've like played it

794
00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:47,679
in fits and starts here and there
since things started wrapping up for Game of

795
00:50:47,679 --> 00:50:52,280
the Year, but then, like
Christmas got super busy, and honestly,

796
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,639
it's still kind of busy around here, so I haven't had much time to

797
00:50:54,679 --> 00:50:58,159
play it, and it's kind of
getting to me. I have put up

798
00:50:58,199 --> 00:51:00,480
IGN's top bundred gives of all time. I'm gonna work backwards till I find

799
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,400
a game I haven't played. You
could tell me too when it's one you

800
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,960
haven't played, okay. Number one
was Breadth of Aloud to Super Mario World.

801
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,280
Three, is Portal two, four
Lenk to the Past five, Super

802
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:15,519
Metroid six, mess Off two seven, Super Mario sixty four. Eight It's

803
00:51:16,679 --> 00:51:22,639
oh, it's too good. Eight
is Red Dead Redemption two. I have

804
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:29,639
played that. I just nineus half
like two. Okay, here we go

805
00:51:29,679 --> 00:51:31,119
my number ten and actually this is
a good one. I've played a lot

806
00:51:31,119 --> 00:51:34,400
of Half Life to. I haven't
beaten that either. Yeah, you said

807
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,000
something mean about Halfway two early year, and I have not forgotten. Oh,

808
00:51:37,039 --> 00:51:38,960
I was gonna like we talked about
hell Divers. I remember the time

809
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,159
I got you crushing hell Divers and
you said you're gonna get me back.

810
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,239
Is that sort of damn? It
leaves still hanging above my head. Oh

811
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,599
yeah, I just want to make
sure. I wanted to make sure,

812
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,840
all right. So number ten here
it is Disco Elesia, and that is

813
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:52,880
a game I should play. I
have. I played a lot of that.

814
00:51:53,079 --> 00:51:55,480
I should just go back, and
especially now that it's got the voice

815
00:51:55,519 --> 00:51:59,280
acting, I should go back.
And I wonder if I could take my

816
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,199
save out of that or not I
lose this game. Let's see how far

817
00:52:01,199 --> 00:52:04,920
we get to. It's one un
play because eleven Super Marbos three, I

818
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,760
know you played that, twelve Grand
Theft, Thought of five, thirteen Hades

819
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:12,039
fourteen fifty Night, twelve, Halo
two sixteen's which your three. I know

820
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,639
you play a ton of that time. I haven't played a ton of that.

821
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,960
I mean I've done a few missions
in it. Yeah, seventeen Last

822
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,400
of Us eighteen, BioShock nineteen.
I've never really played the Last of Us

823
00:52:21,519 --> 00:52:23,559
not right, really? Yeah?
Really? Yeah? I mean, god,

824
00:52:23,559 --> 00:52:27,559
I don't think i've actually ever even
started the Last of Us now I

825
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:30,880
think about it, so yeah,
play the last I played about eight hours

826
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,400
of Last was part two. Though, how about the Undertail? It's twenty

827
00:52:34,639 --> 00:52:37,920
Do you ever try Undertail? I
beat Undertail? Yeah, okay, I

828
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,880
like Undertail. That's a good game. I don't love it like some people

829
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:45,639
do. But also I don't have
the point of reference that so many people

830
00:52:45,679 --> 00:52:47,639
have of like what they carry in
from other RPGs into it and stuff like

831
00:52:47,639 --> 00:52:51,159
that. Yeah. I think.
I also thought, if you like do

832
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:54,199
like get that bad ending also where
you get to fight sands. I think

833
00:52:54,199 --> 00:52:58,880
that's a big moment for it.
Yeah, okay, answer anyways for me

834
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,039
is Dark Souls and Discosium. At
the moment, I feel pretty bad about

835
00:53:01,159 --> 00:53:05,039
I think, man, I should
I should go back and play more just

836
00:53:05,079 --> 00:53:08,320
disco Elysium. That'd be cool.
Mikeel Leary says, welcome back, Boyos.

837
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,880
I think one reason in twenty twenty
four feels soft because we annually and

838
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,679
collectly forget stuff like Nintendo doing six
month announcements for a while now, so

839
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,079
back halves always seem empty. Yeah, I mean, and it is exciting.

840
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:22,360
We don't know what Nintendo's up to
in a year where they like very

841
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:27,079
well could release a new console.
Well, I mean, let's uh and

842
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:29,920
if someone wants keep track of this
and like bring it up later in the

843
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,719
year, let's just do like a
few predictions throughout this episode. Uh,

844
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,320
I think Metro Prime four comes out
next year, do you? I'm not.

845
00:53:39,119 --> 00:53:43,320
I am more confident in a three
D Mario coming out than Rereed Prime

846
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,880
four. Okay, Okay, let
me go. There's a there's our there's

847
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:52,679
our prediction. So and I'm more
confident about Ghost of Shushima two than Metroid

848
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:59,039
Prime four. So all right.
Uh Tyler James Bay says FedEx driver here

849
00:53:59,159 --> 00:54:00,920
just wanted to say thank you,
thank you for keeping me company and entertain

850
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,360
Oh your work, Happy New Year, and go pack go. Thank you

851
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,079
so much, Tyler. It takes
your hard work man, thank you,

852
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:12,840
thank you, thank you. Ali
Miracle says roll Pack Roll Pack D's seriously

853
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:20,239
epic up and Roll said game mess. Folks played, maybe played the closed

854
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,320
Alpha sussay squad may or may not
have had a good time. May not

855
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:27,360
be as bad as the Internet wants
it to be. Okay, I bet

856
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,000
it's going to be very fun.
I do think the leaked audio of like

857
00:54:31,039 --> 00:54:36,360
the story like where like they actually
do kill Batman or whatever and kill all

858
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,199
the superheroes that stuff. I know
they actually killed the Justice League. And

859
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:45,360
the worst part is easy as hell. The worst part is superhero media,

860
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,159
especially when people die they stay dead. Yeah, that's the thing you could

861
00:54:49,199 --> 00:54:55,480
really don't have em Well, I
mean it's it's weird because it's like when

862
00:54:55,559 --> 00:55:00,000
when you kill these characters often like
a comic book, it's got usually as

863
00:55:00,039 --> 00:55:05,559
like years of building up storyline.
Uh and and it affects other characters.

864
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,199
Here, it's just gonna be like
the suicide Squad fuckos. Just I don't

865
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,880
know what I mean. I don't
think are they gonna have any pathos gonna

866
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:19,440
are they gonna bash his head and
with a golf club? Yeah, because

867
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,199
like that'd be pretty good. Every
scene is just a shot for shot remake

868
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:30,719
of that, but with superheroes that'd
be great. Nick says, Hello,

869
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,719
Mike, it's okay if I eat
the cake toes, they are mine.

870
00:55:34,079 --> 00:55:38,639
The Nadi and Jeff Tinkle's balloon fight
is mainline grub. What is your desert

871
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:44,440
game? I mean, if I'm
the most, if most count I'll just

872
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:50,960
take over fourteen and be pretty good. Yeah, I said desert bus for

873
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,719
hope. I was being real funny. That's just word association. Well,

874
00:55:54,719 --> 00:56:00,880
you said desert game, and that's
like desert deserted Island game. So if

875
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:06,840
it was rolling Western, I don't
know. We're a dead redption two.

876
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,440
Probably it's fair. No, you'll
never shut up about it, got it.

877
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,880
I wonder if it's like it should
be like a speeder end game or

878
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,239
not, where I could just try
to perfect that over time. Punch Out

879
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,880
would be pretty good, but I
actually probably would get tired of that.

880
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:22,719
So I don't know. If I
could play an online game, might admit

881
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,559
it might be ECO. That'd be
fun. I could run some ECO games.

882
00:56:25,519 --> 00:56:30,000
Connor Wood says, whereas by dank
Pickman four DC, Nintendo did Pickman

883
00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:32,320
three like have single player DLC?
Is that a thing? I don't remember.

884
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:37,440
There was Pickman three Deluxe though,
so sure what they do with that?

885
00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:42,679
What was deluxe about Picking three?
Here's what I remember is that they

886
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,199
fine tuned the controls, and it's
like, that's not a lot, but

887
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:49,159
that was a huge thing for me, so that it was very It played

888
00:56:49,199 --> 00:56:52,440
really well on the switch, and
that went a long way. Towards making

889
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,039
it a better game. But there's
definitely some other stuff in there. I

890
00:56:55,079 --> 00:57:00,559
just can't remember what it was.
Hitch says we needed indie ses Sex with

891
00:57:00,639 --> 00:57:05,599
play station to style graphics. I
mean, we just need so many arcade

892
00:57:05,639 --> 00:57:12,679
style games indie. Yeah, there
can't be. They're obviously been good indie

893
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:15,760
ones, you know, I kind
of I kind of want them to be

894
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,199
triple a a little but sometimes too. We used to have it that way

895
00:57:19,199 --> 00:57:22,079
and it was kind of neat that, like some of the most, you

896
00:57:22,079 --> 00:57:27,400
know, biggest games in the world
were just arcadi snowboarding games and things like

897
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,280
that. But no, indies are
going to do a good job stepping up

898
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,760
and delivering on that front. And
that is good too, yep. And

899
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:37,519
I hope that they live up to
my expectations because these things always kind of

900
00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:40,639
just usually not always usually they miss
and I'm always like, it doesn't feel

901
00:57:40,639 --> 00:57:45,159
like I wanted it to, but
I want them to keep trying. Like

902
00:57:45,199 --> 00:57:49,480
I'm still eternally hopeful about these kinds
of things. So we'll see. That

903
00:57:49,639 --> 00:57:51,960
is it for super tests right now, folks. If you want to send

904
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,559
in more super chats, we will
read them before the end of the show.

905
00:57:53,559 --> 00:57:58,199
Thank you so much. All right, another quick break while we get

906
00:57:58,199 --> 00:58:00,880
set up for game of the Game
of the Year twenty eleven. We'll be

907
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:06,639
right back after this. We're back, and Mike, I want to do

908
00:58:06,679 --> 00:58:09,400
the best five games of twenty eleven. All right, I should probably start

909
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,639
by looking up what games came out
in twenty eleven. Let me do that

910
00:58:12,679 --> 00:58:15,920
real quick while you tell people what
we do here. Yeah. Well,

911
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,159
we've been working through years. I
think we start with nineteen ninety five actually,

912
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,199
and then been working our way forward
each year looking at games that came

913
00:58:22,239 --> 00:58:28,199
out in the US in that calendar
year. The kind of thinking collect all

914
00:58:28,239 --> 00:58:30,159
those and put them out in a
book and call it like video Game of

915
00:58:30,159 --> 00:58:32,440
the Year or something. Ah,
yeah, that'd be a great idea.

916
00:58:34,079 --> 00:58:38,360
Nobody would have thought of that.
That'd be actually really funny. But yeah,

917
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,440
this has been actually a lot of
fun. Good way to kind of

918
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:45,719
go back through things. It's been
interesting. We are now in the period

919
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:52,480
of time where Jeff and I started
our games journalist careers as a young wistful

920
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:58,480
interns listful or wistful, those different
words. Whistful, definitely wistful, like

921
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:00,679
listful would be the opposite of listless. I don't know if there is a

922
00:59:00,679 --> 00:59:05,559
listful Okay, wistful, then storry
eyed. I'll just say starry eyed,

923
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,960
definitely. Starry eyed, yes,
Jef so starry eyed. It's kind of

924
00:59:08,079 --> 00:59:14,079
out of control fucking poop in our
pants with starry eyes, absolutely and just

925
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:16,440
starry poop everywhere. Chat. Do
you want to say a game? Rest?

926
00:59:16,519 --> 00:59:19,880
Should? I? Uh? Yeah, I mean listen. I could

927
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,239
say a game and that game would
be The Elder Scrolls five Skyrim. Yeah,

928
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,639
probably could say that. It came
to that's that's a game. I

929
00:59:27,159 --> 00:59:34,280
still really love Skyrim. I went
into this having really gotten into Oblivion,

930
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,719
and I was looking forward to this
and I think I started up and go

931
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,239
and I at first I was like, I'm not sure. I love that

932
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:42,920
it's all like this winter space and
not like, oh I can go down

933
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:49,079
to the capital city like you could
in Oblivion. Quickly though that that those

934
00:59:49,119 --> 00:59:52,360
concerns went away and I was just
like, there's just so much I can

935
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,440
do in this game, and the
main thing is what I want to do

936
00:59:54,559 --> 00:59:58,239
is fuck around. I want to
go in the game, walk in a

937
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,000
direction, see what I run into, and it's usually going to be a

938
01:00:00,039 --> 01:00:04,880
fun story and a lot of times
you'll find a cave and you'll go in

939
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,280
there and you'll go through the loop, and then the exit's going to be

940
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,159
on the other side, so you
don't have to go back through the cave,

941
01:00:09,159 --> 01:00:12,679
and that's always so convenient. And
then eventually you'll find the person who

942
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,760
be like, hey, can you
go to that cave and get that thing?

943
01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:16,159
And you're like, oh, I
already did that, because I'm just

944
01:00:16,199 --> 01:00:22,000
an asshole place who plays this game
backwards and then honestly just installing mods and

945
01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:25,440
messing around with the console commands and
making you know, a five hundred foot

946
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:30,039
tall version of myself that can like
stomp on the giants and things like that

947
01:00:30,119 --> 01:00:35,280
and then run it super speed so
it crashes your computer. I don't know,

948
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,719
I just love everything about messing around
in this game, and to this

949
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,840
day it's one I'm like, maybe
I could play some more Skyrim, Maybe

950
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:45,239
I should do that, and I
seriously still happen sometimes. Yeah, it

951
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,719
just feels like the ideal in a
lot of ways of that kind of game.

952
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,280
But as I was trying to make
and I know, like, maybe

953
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,559
you have to sacrifice some of the
more hardcore PG elements, right that you

954
01:00:55,599 --> 01:00:59,719
may have had in tomorrow in,
but there was something here that was just

955
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,239
so accessible and so kind of breezy
to play. It was almost like a

956
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:07,320
comfortable sort of game, right,
just you really did just kind of wander

957
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:12,440
around and get into little adventures.
It just was incredibly good at that.

958
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:21,840
Yeah, yep, definitely. Portal
two was a ton of fun. This

959
01:01:22,159 --> 01:01:24,360
was I was really excited for this
because Portal one was this big surprise.

960
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:30,519
It was like the small piece of
the Orange Box. It was a little

961
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:32,719
tiny game but had this really cool
concept in this really clever writing. And

962
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,199
then they really did just devote all
these devote all these resources to it to

963
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:44,519
make it a full blown giant game
that still kept up that momentum of the

964
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:47,199
original in real clever ways. It
kind of had that three x structure,

965
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,480
you know, you had that moment
in the sort of dungeon where you're doing

966
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:58,159
the Cave Johnson stuff with the different
goo things. Just really delightful game,

967
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,239
really fun puzzles. I think some
people now are like, oh, this

968
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,320
kind of humor has aged a little
bit, or it feels a little like

969
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,440
cliche. Well, this is like
kind of what was starting the cliches in

970
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:12,000
a lot of way A lot of
games tried to be Portal in Portal two

971
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,239
because it was so good. It
also has a fantastic whole co op mode.

972
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:20,000
By the way, this was sort
of like it almost takes sund away

973
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,400
because this was the end of that
era of Valve, from like Half Life

974
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:29,079
one to in some ways Portal two, because after this is when they basically

975
01:02:29,159 --> 01:02:34,119
just stopped making games and we're supporting
Doda too, and you know, making

976
01:02:34,199 --> 01:02:38,480
Steam machines, making making auto chess
games and stuff like that. Yeah.

977
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,599
Yeah, Hey, I like Portal
two a lot. It's one I actually

978
01:02:42,599 --> 01:02:45,679
played much later. At the time, I was like all in on Skyrim

979
01:02:45,719 --> 01:02:49,519
and I'm like, I'll get around
to Portal two eventually, and for some

980
01:02:49,559 --> 01:02:52,119
reason, I'm just like a Portal
one is like this, like perfect little

981
01:02:52,159 --> 01:02:54,679
gym. I don't need more Portal
And then years later, my god,

982
01:02:54,719 --> 01:02:59,000
everyone still talks about this game in
a way it makes it sound much better

983
01:02:59,039 --> 01:03:00,159
than I gave it credit for at
the time, And it turns out they

984
01:03:00,159 --> 01:03:04,039
were right. Portal two is very
It's still very solid. And again I

985
01:03:04,039 --> 01:03:06,320
played it just a couple of years
ago for the first time ever, so

986
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,039
that kind of like Eureka moment they
give you right at the very end is

987
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,760
fantastic. It's a great build up
and then they do it away. You

988
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,800
can't miss it, but it makes
you feel like you figured out some kind

989
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,519
of puzzle and then when you actually
execute on it, it's fantastic. I

990
01:03:19,559 --> 01:03:22,880
love it. Yep. It's just
a real solid, well designed game through

991
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:30,000
and through. I would probably put, well, let's see, I don't

992
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,159
want to do that one. Probably
not actually, so I'm gonna go with

993
01:03:34,199 --> 01:03:36,840
Super Mario three D Land, which
I actually am a big fan of.

994
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,920
I like Super Mario three D Land
a lot. It's not it's not Super

995
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:45,159
Mario three D World, which is
better, but it's actually a really good

996
01:03:45,199 --> 01:03:49,199
three D platformer for the three DS, and I think it's got a lot

997
01:03:49,199 --> 01:03:52,840
of cool it's got a cool look. It's a little bit barren if you

998
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,360
try to go back to it now, because it's like trying to be really

999
01:03:55,400 --> 01:04:00,239
reduced down to run well on the
three DS. But when you're playing and

1000
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:01,920
like natively on the three DS,
you don't notice that so much. It's

1001
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,159
like, oh no, it's it's
sparse in a way that like when something

1002
01:04:04,239 --> 01:04:08,320
is there and it pops up out
of the screen. It goes a long

1003
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,679
way towards like making that world feel
fleshed out, and then it's just it's

1004
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,079
got a solid three D platforming idea
behind it. Of you know, it's

1005
01:04:15,079 --> 01:04:18,760
mostly gonna be fixed camera and you're
gonna explore these spaces, but it's not

1006
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:23,039
gonna be this vast open space.
It's kind of all right there in front

1007
01:04:23,039 --> 01:04:26,519
of you. But we're gonna make
it a little bit challenging and a lot

1008
01:04:26,559 --> 01:04:29,599
of fun and a lot of cool
ideas. So I like three D Land

1009
01:04:29,639 --> 01:04:32,079
a lot. It's one I think
I kind of wish they would remaster and

1010
01:04:32,119 --> 01:04:35,599
re release as like an HD game, because I bet they could do a

1011
01:04:35,639 --> 01:04:39,559
lot of cool stuff with that.
Yeah, I do like it a lot.

1012
01:04:39,719 --> 01:04:42,880
It might be my least favorite of
the three D Mario games, just

1013
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:47,000
just because the aesthetic of it is
so basic Mario stuff, right, Yeah,

1014
01:04:47,199 --> 01:04:49,840
you know, I understood why they
did it like that, but I'm

1015
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:54,599
always gonna prefer something like Odyssey or
Galaxy, even Sunshine that has a bit

1016
01:04:54,639 --> 01:04:57,360
more of a unique thing going on
with it. But yeah, I mean,

1017
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,440
it's three D Mario and also the
gimmick of it is little on because

1018
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,239
now just all Mario games are portable
Mario games. Yeah, true, but

1019
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,639
getting a three D Mario platformer was
really cool at that time. Yep,

1020
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:15,960
uh okay, Batman Arkham City.
We gave a lot of love Arkham City.

1021
01:05:16,679 --> 01:05:20,719
You know, it is really cool
and I know some people, maybe

1022
01:05:20,719 --> 01:05:27,079
even me in certain days, prefer
Arkham City sort of more Metrovnia building base

1023
01:05:27,159 --> 01:05:32,760
design Asylum. Excuse me, uh, but Man Arkham City is a really

1024
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:38,239
cool open world, and they did
make gliding around as Batman with that grappling

1025
01:05:38,239 --> 01:05:42,639
hook work really well. It was
always a ton of fun. There are

1026
01:05:42,679 --> 01:05:45,400
some really good moments in this game. That Doctor Freeze boss fight still stands

1027
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,239
out to me a lot. You
still did get those moments where you were

1028
01:05:48,239 --> 01:05:53,519
in these kind of complexes or these
buildings where it felt a little bit more

1029
01:05:53,639 --> 01:05:57,920
like that Arkham Asylum style. Again, even just going around getting all the

1030
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:03,159
Joker trophies. This really felt like
a smart sequel in a lot of ways.

1031
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:08,440
Yeah, It's one where I'm like, I loved Arkham Asylum so much

1032
01:06:08,519 --> 01:06:10,599
because it was like, as I'm
playing Asylum, like, oh my god,

1033
01:06:10,599 --> 01:06:12,480
this game's really all made and I'm
like, oh my god, it's

1034
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,400
a Metroid Vane, and as someone
who worshiped Metroid Prime throughout this entire period,

1035
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,679
having the realization that, oh my
god, we're getting giant, big

1036
01:06:19,719 --> 01:06:24,519
budget, Triple A games from great
developers that are taking the ideas of like,

1037
01:06:24,519 --> 01:06:27,159
hey, a metro VENI can be
three D, and they're seeing that

1038
01:06:27,239 --> 01:06:30,039
through to its obvious conclusion of and
yet here we are another game of the

1039
01:06:30,119 --> 01:06:33,719
year. So I was always a
little bit resentful of City changing things up

1040
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:38,719
on that front. But what it
is, I mean, it's it's it's

1041
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,360
better in a lot of different ways, and it's it's still a very good

1042
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,360
game, and it's one I'm like, I do think about going back and

1043
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:45,639
playing all the time. I'm like, I should just like go in there

1044
01:06:45,639 --> 01:06:51,199
with Like the retrospective of Asylum is
one thing, City is a different thing,

1045
01:06:51,239 --> 01:06:55,440
and I bet I would feel much
different about City going back today.

1046
01:06:58,599 --> 01:07:00,639
Let's see here, now, that
came out on the Xbox sixty the year

1047
01:07:00,679 --> 01:07:03,880
before. So the one I'm gonna
go with is ray Man Origins. I

1048
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:08,280
think this came out on the Wii
in twenty eleven, and that's where it

1049
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:12,760
debuted. I like it. I
like these ray Man platforming games A lot.

1050
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,000
I think I like the one after
this a little bit more. What

1051
01:07:15,079 --> 01:07:17,039
was that ray Man Legends Legends.
Yes, yeah, that one's like even

1052
01:07:17,079 --> 01:07:19,639
a little bit better. But Raymond
Origins was great. This is the one

1053
01:07:20,679 --> 01:07:29,119
two D platforming game that I think
really figured out multiplayer cooperative multiplayer locally where

1054
01:07:29,119 --> 01:07:31,199
it's like everyone's on the same screen
and it doesn't try to like the camera

1055
01:07:31,199 --> 01:07:34,639
doesn't try to follow any one person. It's just like the action's pulled out

1056
01:07:34,719 --> 01:07:39,000
enough and you're kind of small,
but everyone's just sharing the screen at the

1057
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,719
same time, and it kind of
just works out really well. And it's

1058
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,440
there's no physics interactions between the characters, so you can all share the same

1059
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,360
space. And it's got that floaty
jump of RAYMN. So it's like the

1060
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:55,519
platforming is forgiving enough that people of
differing differing skill levels can all play together.

1061
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,599
If you try to, like go
from Raymn Origins over to something like

1062
01:07:58,639 --> 01:08:00,800
a New Super Mario Brothers. We
had like the four player mode, it's

1063
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,880
like, okay, yeah, New
Super Mario Brothers. We's got a lot

1064
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,760
of cool stuff going on for it, but it is kind of miserable to

1065
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:10,519
play with other people. Ray Man
Origins meanwhile, is a complete delight,

1066
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:16,039
and it's got several really cool sequences
of just like really frenetic platforming, and

1067
01:08:16,119 --> 01:08:18,880
it just makes you feel really cool, even when it is like, oh

1068
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,640
the camera still pulled out. It's
kind of got a slow, deliberate pace

1069
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,600
that never hurt it. It was
just all around a really fun game.

1070
01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:29,000
Yeah. I mean, look,
these games kind of about Mario and Mario

1071
01:08:29,039 --> 01:08:30,800
in some ways. These were the
best two D platformers, right, and

1072
01:08:31,159 --> 01:08:33,119
it was a big sprice, and
they look a lot better too, their

1073
01:08:33,159 --> 01:08:36,359
gorgeous games. I really like,
Yeah, I like them a lot.

1074
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:42,439
It's a good pick, all right. I kind of promised the Pokemon Pervert's

1075
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:48,199
this Jeff put them on black and
white came out. It is you give

1076
01:08:48,279 --> 01:08:51,840
them an inch, they're gonna take
a mile, Mike. I mean maybe

1077
01:08:54,159 --> 01:08:57,600
the last definitely the last great Pokemon
games, at least for me. Last

1078
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,880
time I was super involved with it, it felt like the one time the

1079
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:05,119
series was willing to kind of mature
ever so slightly. It's not like this

1080
01:09:05,199 --> 01:09:11,000
is some thoughts about yeah, well, it's actually a kind of a little

1081
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,119
bit about like the villain. If
somebody's like, hey, I don't think

1082
01:09:14,159 --> 01:09:17,000
we should just capture Pokemon and like
force it to do what we want.

1083
01:09:17,079 --> 01:09:20,560
Now, of course it's Pokemon.
So the story, it turns out he's

1084
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:28,239
wrong in the games, but at
least somebody is asking these questions. This

1085
01:09:28,399 --> 01:09:30,119
was also the last one with the
sprites, and they kind of had the

1086
01:09:30,119 --> 01:09:34,479
animated sprites, so it's still in
a lot of ways the best looking Pokemon

1087
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:39,199
game that we have. I think
there's a lot of the good starters,

1088
01:09:39,239 --> 01:09:44,319
good legendaries. It just just one
just felt really good. You know,

1089
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:48,359
Heartgo and Soil Silver were also fantastic. Those were remakes. This is neat

1090
01:09:48,399 --> 01:09:53,520
because it's basically a lot of those
mechanics, but in a new game that

1091
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,199
was a ton of fun and just
more memorable than even Diamond and Pearl,

1092
01:09:57,199 --> 01:10:00,960
which was also on the DS.
Yeah, I played a little bit of

1093
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:02,079
Black and White. I remember really
enjoying it. Now, I don't think

1094
01:10:02,119 --> 01:10:04,520
I got deep enough into it to
be like, oh, well, the

1095
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,720
story is going places, but it
was just well made in general, and

1096
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,560
I definitely played a lot of it. Black Black and White two, is

1097
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,520
is that your favorite? Is that
what you always say, no, no,

1098
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,560
no, Black and White too?
Is it's fine? Instead of making

1099
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,560
a Pokemon gray. They did Black
and White two, right, It's like

1100
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,800
I should like that more because technical
leaders, it's more new stuff. But

1101
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,479
I kind of wish I just had
a poky On gray, to be honest.

1102
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:31,359
Sure, okay, I probably could
try to pull something else out,

1103
01:10:31,399 --> 01:10:34,119
but I don't know if there's anything
I think. I think I have one

1104
01:10:34,159 --> 01:10:36,039
that you will like a lot.
Oh yeah, hit me with it.

1105
01:10:36,079 --> 01:10:39,279
I was like, I'm looking at
the list right now. Yeah. Uh

1106
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:44,119
Saints Row the Third. Oh yeah, that's fantastic, Thank you, Mike.

1107
01:10:44,199 --> 01:10:47,520
I love Satan Get Oh the Third. There's a sequence in Sants Row

1108
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,960
the Third where two of the characters
are just driving someplace, like it's an

1109
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,920
oak WORL game where you drive places, and then they just start having a

1110
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:59,680
conversation about the good old days,
and Santa Ria by Sublime comes on the

1111
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:00,840
radio out and then they're like,
oh, I remember this was my whole

1112
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,239
high school. And then they just
start singing together while you're driving someplace,

1113
01:11:04,279 --> 01:11:09,359
and it was such an amazing like
character building moment that like can attach me

1114
01:11:09,399 --> 01:11:12,199
because I lived that same thing in
my life where it's like, yeah,

1115
01:11:12,239 --> 01:11:15,720
that man got that song took over
our whole world, and so to have

1116
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,479
them express that in a game and
make it feel very human. That's like

1117
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,840
the magic of Santsor of the Third
and even the fourth one, where it's

1118
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:29,399
like, it's really nice, cool
characters getting along and having relationships with one

1119
01:11:29,399 --> 01:11:31,359
another, and then there's all this
wild stuff that happens on top of it.

1120
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,239
And Satsori the Third was definitely the
best of that. So yeah,

1121
01:11:34,359 --> 01:11:38,159
really adore Saintsor of the Third.
Yeah, it was funny, you know.

1122
01:11:38,119 --> 01:11:41,319
It was when they realized that it
was better to kind of lean into

1123
01:11:41,319 --> 01:11:44,680
the sillier aspects and the leaning of
things that made it different from Grand Theft

1124
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,079
Auto than just being a grid Theft
Auto. Definitely, yeah, and it

1125
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:54,680
worked out really well. It's good
stuff. Uh So, Marvsus Capcon three

1126
01:11:54,720 --> 01:12:00,279
and Ultimate Marvelus CapCo On three came
out in twenty eleven, which I'll be

1127
01:12:00,279 --> 01:12:01,680
honest, actually, I don't think
I like these quite as much as some

1128
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,840
people. I always thought that these
games were kind of ugly, but they

1129
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:10,439
are very fun. They have really
neat rosters, especially an Ultimate, where

1130
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,960
you do have people like Phoenix right
even showing up, but you have Almacharatzu

1131
01:12:14,039 --> 01:12:19,039
from Okami. Yeah, I remember
you had a rocket Raccoon well before the

1132
01:12:19,039 --> 01:12:23,680
GUARDNSI Gaxy movie. I came out
back when he was a deep pick right,

1133
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:27,720
b shots, that's barls cackle.
Three's ugly. Might be the craziest

1134
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,199
bike tape ever. I have a
little I'm not saying. I get people

1135
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,079
don't agree with that. I mean, I'm surprised when people think that's a

1136
01:12:33,119 --> 01:12:38,640
shocking thing when looking at that game. It's kind of ugly. But that's

1137
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:42,159
fine. It definitely was a lot
of fun and I'm happy to consider it

1138
01:12:42,199 --> 01:12:45,920
for the list. Yeah, I
put it up there. Sure I can

1139
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:47,520
get to the eve unless you have
like one more while I get set up.

1140
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,640
Think it's good to look at what
the community is thinking. I think

1141
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:56,560
in a second, I think that's
all the big ones. Here's one more,

1142
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,640
here's one more. Okay, I
guess saw Bastion. Yeah, I

1143
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,640
did see that. That came out
that year. I played a little bashing.

1144
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:08,279
I was never never liked Fastion quite
a bit simple kind of top down

1145
01:13:08,319 --> 01:13:12,239
action RPG thing. This is a
super Giant game's first real big release,

1146
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,159
maybe the first release in general,
and it stood out. You know,

1147
01:13:15,199 --> 01:13:17,199
the things that they're good with today, just the really good art, the

1148
01:13:17,279 --> 01:13:20,399
kind of fun characters. This is
the game where you had that narrator narrating

1149
01:13:20,399 --> 01:13:24,079
almost everything you did. Yes,
I like that a lot of course.

1150
01:13:24,119 --> 01:13:26,600
Yeah. Yeah, this was kind
of the digital game of the year for

1151
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,840
me in a lot of ways,
more so than Limbo, which is also

1152
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,560
this year. Or no, Limbo
was twenty ten. Just got Placation three

1153
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,960
this year. Never mind? All
right, well, I got the podcast

1154
01:13:35,039 --> 01:13:39,920
producers here with their input. Let's
over, gonna hit the highlights here,

1155
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:45,119
joy Z says super Brother Sword and
Sorcery EP. I remember being so excited

1156
01:13:45,159 --> 01:13:46,600
for this because I thought the look
was so cool. This is an iPod

1157
01:13:47,239 --> 01:13:50,039
I call it an iPad game.
I bet, I bet it was on

1158
01:13:50,079 --> 01:13:54,760
phones as well. But yeah,
I played it, and I'm like,

1159
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:58,439
ah, it's kind of a slow
paced point and click adventure that doesn't have

1160
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:00,079
a lot going on. So I
never actually ended enjoyed playing it, but

1161
01:14:00,199 --> 01:14:06,359
it looked cool. I I never
understood what this game is. I think

1162
01:14:06,399 --> 01:14:10,520
I even played it. I didn't
quite get it, but everybody was so

1163
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,800
gaga over it. I just look, Yeah, I just never quite understood,

1164
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,520
like, what what do you do
in this game? You go to

1165
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,359
places, you point and then you
walk to that place and then maybe inter

1166
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:24,079
interact with something. I honestly,
I don't remember much. I just remember

1167
01:14:24,079 --> 01:14:29,319
it being kind of boring for me. Tommy Pencils says, Dark Souls?

1168
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,039
Is that right? Did we missed
this? Let's see us? Oh?

1169
01:14:33,159 --> 01:14:38,880
Yeah, there it is? I
mean, yeah again, I've I played

1170
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:42,079
it. I just never got into
it, so and I just admitted I

1171
01:14:42,199 --> 01:14:45,880
So I'll just never really play Dark
Souls. Going to be the year I

1172
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,880
played through Dark Souls? There you
got everybody? Yeah, another prediction fun

1173
01:14:48,079 --> 01:14:51,399
we played it together or something?
Yeah? Sure? Currently yeah, Hey,

1174
01:14:51,399 --> 01:14:54,279
we kave depsils a lot of leve. I mean, look, how

1175
01:14:54,319 --> 01:14:58,439
boring would it be? I'm sorry? Maybe we should put it on the

1176
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:02,119
list anyways. Some people to do
that, but I don't know. Gay,

1177
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,479
Actually, I'll do it right now
so that we just don't forget Dark

1178
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:10,640
Souls. You guys are gonna be
seeing a big empty thing there. Yeah

1179
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,800
you know, yeah, maybe an
important game, as it turns out over

1180
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,720
my face to fix that too.
I like it. It's an improvement for

1181
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:23,960
you blocks your mug. All right, there we go. H Jamie h

1182
01:15:24,079 --> 01:15:28,640
Christmas Eve says, yeah, ku'sa
four was my first introduction to Kazuma Kureu

1183
01:15:29,199 --> 01:15:31,680
uh and the mean streets of Camarocho. The density and variety of things to

1184
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,920
do in Camaroacho, a couple of
each playable character have any unique fighting style

1185
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:41,880
and memorable side stories made me a
fan for life. Man, I don't

1186
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:46,199
hear many people talk about like,
yahkhu'sa four, like four and five and

1187
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,560
six. I don't. Yeah,
you're right, I guess I'm usually when

1188
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:53,239
I hear people talk about the games, it's you know, I hear about

1189
01:15:53,359 --> 01:15:57,600
zero, I'll hear about right.
I think those ones definitely like had I

1190
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,680
mean, they improved clearly over time, but I know people did still really

1191
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:06,159
like these Yakuza games. Uh,
Mommy's Times, New Year's Blowout, Mommy

1192
01:16:06,159 --> 01:16:09,199
Times, New Year's blow Out.
There we go, says I'm cheating this

1193
01:16:09,199 --> 01:16:12,319
week. I'm sure Mortal Kombat nine
was already mentioned. World of Tanks a

1194
01:16:12,319 --> 01:16:15,079
big dog in the free to play
a world still, and then the Biding

1195
01:16:15,159 --> 01:16:20,640
of Isaac cemented the rogue light like
like slash Light as a big genre all

1196
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:24,920
its own. Man, Binding of
Isaac really came out that long ago.

1197
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,960
That's wild. I think if Isaac
rebirth is on our game mess game club

1198
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,920
pool right now, actually because I
have somehow never played it in Yeah,

1199
01:16:32,079 --> 01:16:34,920
I bet as soon as I started
playing Rebirth, I'm going to get into

1200
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,960
it in a big way. So
you'll see, yeah, is it uh,

1201
01:16:39,319 --> 01:16:44,159
well is it best friends that goes
on about Benny Isaac constantly like they

1202
01:16:44,399 --> 01:16:46,720
love it, Oh bestis yes,
yeah, yeah, yeah, they rest

1203
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,800
they talk about a lot. Yeah. I think Russ has got like several

1204
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:54,600
hundred hours in the game or something
like that, maybe even maybe even more

1205
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:58,560
than a thousand hours in it.
Nobody did bring up Mortal Kombat nine.

1206
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,199
Yeah, I like Mortal Combat nine
a whole bunch that was especially at the

1207
01:17:02,199 --> 01:17:05,439
time. Even that was really good. It wasn't the first game to have

1208
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:09,840
that kind of story mode. I
think even Mortal Kombat Versus DC had at

1209
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:11,640
first, But this is the I
don't know, this is the first one

1210
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,079
I really think about. It was
a big roster. I think the whole

1211
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,920
kind of redoing the stories of one, two, and three was slight changes

1212
01:17:18,279 --> 01:17:21,560
was a lot of fun because those
were, you know, old arcade games

1213
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:27,359
where the stories back then were always
so kind of nebulous or like said in

1214
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:31,560
splash screens, right, I think
Mortal Kombat nine is worth considering. Jackie

1215
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:35,880
G mentions this game that I don't
think I've remember this one. Skyward Sword,

1216
01:17:36,319 --> 01:17:40,159
the story of the characters, the
music is without a doubt, one

1217
01:17:40,199 --> 01:17:43,359
of my favorite games of all time. I like Skyward Sword. I don't

1218
01:17:43,399 --> 01:17:45,000
know if I could put it in
a top five for twenty eleven. It's

1219
01:17:45,039 --> 01:17:50,640
I think in twenty eleven because I
was doing a podcast with aj then explaining

1220
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,760
Barrel, I think I did say
this was my game of the year at

1221
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,600
that time. I bet I did
was my game of year at the time

1222
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,840
too. Gone back to it when
it came out of Switch was a little

1223
01:18:00,159 --> 01:18:02,680
for me, even with some of
the improvements in the speeding up after in

1224
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:08,720
the post breath of the Loud world, it is a slow It's a monotonous

1225
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,960
start, even in his monotonous beginnings
in a lot of way. But I

1226
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,920
do like the Skyward Sword. I
think the motion plus stuff was pretty neat.

1227
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:17,600
I would be okay, concerned,
but you know, you're right,

1228
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:20,479
we probably are going to quite get
it on there. That's okay. Yeah,

1229
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:26,359
I this is definitely right, like
early game coverage career, because Nintendo

1230
01:18:26,399 --> 01:18:29,199
sent me this with the gold controller
and stuff to review the game, and

1231
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,119
I played all of it and reviewed
it. For god, it must have

1232
01:18:31,159 --> 01:18:34,560
been a bit mob, I guess. I don't know. Really, I

1233
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,960
really liked it though, but I
don't know if I'm gonna get in the

1234
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,399
top five. Always be clothing Slash
Corgy, says Dayo Sex Human Revolution.

1235
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,720
This is when I was hoping someone
to bring up I like this game a

1236
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:46,479
lot too, and I would like
to go back to the DIO sex games

1237
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,319
Real Bad, a game where a
throwaway plot about a broken mirror had had

1238
01:18:50,319 --> 01:18:56,479
me questioning player agency versus a character's
history and personality. Are you a big

1239
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,279
day of sex guy? Not really? But I actually played through Human Shoos

1240
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,279
one I did beat and I also
liked it a good bit. I did

1241
01:19:02,319 --> 01:19:05,680
think that this game was a lot
of fun. I liked its specific kind

1242
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:13,359
of sci fi Detroit scum take on
the future. Yeah. I thought that,

1243
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:15,159
like different you know past, you
could take what's fun. I think

1244
01:19:15,159 --> 01:19:18,359
I did a stealth build and that
worked out pretty well for me. Yeah.

1245
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,319
I mean the most memorable one of
these, and I definitely understand people

1246
01:19:21,319 --> 01:19:26,560
who wish it was a bit more
of an immersive similar the original game was

1247
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,159
right, you're reading people's emails,
you're not doing much with it. Usually

1248
01:19:30,399 --> 01:19:32,880
it's like, yeah, some of
that stuff was there, but yeah,

1249
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:36,760
it kind of strayed a little bit
far afield, But I enjoyed what I

1250
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:41,520
played a bit at the time,
mister Bowler, a lot of good options

1251
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,319
to choose from for twenty eleven,
but for me, the bestest portal two

1252
01:19:45,399 --> 01:19:48,560
Flobotron says the Witcher two Assassin of
Kings. Did you ever played Witcher one

1253
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,520
or two? I played a bit
of one at the time. It's funny

1254
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:55,880
because people did like Witcher two,
and then Whatcher three came out and it

1255
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:00,720
seemed to erase that game. It
really felt that way. Yeah, like

1256
01:20:00,239 --> 01:20:01,800
it usually it happens. There's some
people like, well, here's why I

1257
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,520
like the previous one a bit more, Here's why the previous one should still

1258
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:09,640
be played, and Witcher three is
the most like. Some people will talk

1259
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:13,880
about Witcher one still because it's so
different. No one talks about Witcher two

1260
01:20:14,199 --> 01:20:17,039
again, a game that at the
time people seemed to like. Yeah,

1261
01:20:17,319 --> 01:20:20,119
Phlobatrin does mention a couple of reasons
people like it. It's got a completely

1262
01:20:20,159 --> 01:20:25,520
different act to based on your story
decisions, something Triple A wouldn't be able

1263
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:30,039
to afford any more today, including
CDPR Yeah, they can't make content you

1264
01:20:30,039 --> 01:20:31,640
can't get to unless your bouler skate
three, in which case, hey,

1265
01:20:33,119 --> 01:20:36,800
a thlump in a French made outfit, which is from my diary. I'm

1266
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:43,079
sure I mentions Super Mario three,
d Land and a Standout one for sure,

1267
01:20:43,159 --> 01:20:45,359
and that Nteto selex Box are to
sol ugly. Yeah, God,

1268
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,319
all there are bad. This is
one of the worst, though. I

1269
01:20:48,359 --> 01:20:51,279
really don't like this at all,
especially with like the warning here at the

1270
01:20:51,279 --> 01:20:57,640
bottom Terioki bluesas nothing beats the world
design of Dark Souls. Also shout out

1271
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,760
to Dead Rising two off the record
game where you play is Frank West and

1272
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:05,199
a retelling of deada Rising two.
It added new bosses, weapons areas,

1273
01:21:05,239 --> 01:21:09,920
brought back the photography, and added
a no time limit sandbox mode that people

1274
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,720
were wanting. Yeah, I remember
this like the Frank the Frank West mode

1275
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,640
for Dead Rising two. Clink says
Bashing is the real game of the year

1276
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,399
for twenty eleven, so I'm sure
you too will have an intense discussion about

1277
01:21:20,399 --> 01:21:26,479
whether Duke Nukem Forever should beat second
or third on the list. Okaylin I

1278
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,640
love Dan Record's story about having to
play Duke Nukem forever well freaking Randy Pitt

1279
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:36,119
over shoulder like in Silenced the entire
time. That would drive me crazy.

1280
01:21:36,199 --> 01:21:39,039
I'd be like, you know what, never mind, I don't give a

1281
01:21:39,039 --> 01:21:42,399
shit about this game. We'll write
about something else for the magazine. Uh

1282
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:45,560
two times. Champef Hammer says Jeff
and Mike are going to punish Dark Souls

1283
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,840
simply because they were not get good
pilled a bunch of philistines. So here,

1284
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:54,840
don't forget. Minecraft's official release was
twenty eleven. Okay, yeah,

1285
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:59,920
that's nice. The Crisis Well five
says we have reached my favorite year of

1286
01:22:00,359 --> 01:22:02,239
Portal two, Arkham City, Dark
Souls, a little big planet too,

1287
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:06,640
and my two favorite games of all
time Uncharted three and Skyrim. You don't

1288
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,640
got to put on Charted three on
the list. Just say, wow,

1289
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,560
that's a respectable game to have as
your favorite game of all time, dude,

1290
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:14,960
Respect to you, my man.
All right, ready, Mike,

1291
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,039
Wow, that's a respectable game to
have as your favorite game of all time.

1292
01:22:18,119 --> 01:22:21,319
Dude, Respect to you, my
man. Yeah, as much as

1293
01:22:21,319 --> 01:22:25,560
I love like, you know,
a chart a lot. I like Charity

1294
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,760
three. I've it's weird how much
more I lick and Charted two than three,

1295
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:31,640
even though they are very similar games
in a lot of ways. I

1296
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:36,279
don also have to play again to
really explain why I do. There was

1297
01:22:36,319 --> 01:22:41,800
something about Uncharted three. He's pacing
those little weird or storytelling like there was

1298
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,640
like that moment where he's like lost
in the desert for a day and he's

1299
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,000
like dying of thirst, and then
as soon as he gets to a gunfight

1300
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:51,079
he just runs around completely normal and
just weird things like that. I remember

1301
01:22:51,079 --> 01:22:54,520
this was the game too where they're
like, well, people thought that our

1302
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:59,880
villains have been under bag, so
this villain is going to be amazing what

1303
01:23:00,079 --> 01:23:02,560
you're saying, Yeah, the US
is another bad villain, but it was

1304
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:06,279
worse because they built it up.
So it was like, Okay, you

1305
01:23:06,279 --> 01:23:11,960
think the game that gave us a
ludo narrative dissidance, Yeah, I think

1306
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,680
that was BioShock. Was the game
that gave us that. Okay that this

1307
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:16,640
it definitely happened with this game as
well. But you're right, yet I

1308
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:20,159
think it came back. I think
you're right back in full force. What's

1309
01:23:20,199 --> 01:23:23,600
this? What is it? One
where like the guy came out, like

1310
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,520
the director or something said like,
actually you're not getting the red things on

1311
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:32,199
the screen where you're getting shot is
like his luck running out? Is it?

1312
01:23:32,359 --> 01:23:39,880
Yeah? Whatever? Okay, I
guess so hey, that's a respectful

1313
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,239
game. Has has one of your
hair games all the time. Respect to

1314
01:23:42,279 --> 01:23:45,600
you, My man Zoomer says,
we drink to our youth for the days,

1315
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,000
for the days come and gone,
for when the age of Todd had

1316
01:23:49,039 --> 01:23:54,199
only just begun. Uh and then
foreshadowing also when my pick Last Time came

1317
01:23:54,199 --> 01:23:57,359
out twenty eleven, twenty ten,
my bad, I was on a long

1318
01:23:57,399 --> 01:24:01,039
gaming hiatus between game Cuban three Dyes
also upset I missed my chance to nominate

1319
01:24:01,079 --> 01:24:06,159
the Best BioShock game last week because
of my Zelda comment. So Yes mentioned

1320
01:24:08,039 --> 01:24:11,520
the Elder Scrolls five, Skyrim O, Creative Time three D for the three

1321
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,840
DS, and Super Mario three D
Land. Yeah. I guess this was

1322
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,920
the year that the three DS came
out. That's messed up. Yeah,

1323
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:21,039
that's really weird. That's messed up. The three DS came out twelve years

1324
01:24:21,039 --> 01:24:26,479
ago. Yeah, God, that's
weird. Back in the day, we

1325
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:30,000
would be like, well, three
DS games are retro now absolutely not.

1326
01:24:30,159 --> 01:24:32,159
No, No, I had no. Skyrim is actually the game that made

1327
01:24:32,199 --> 01:24:35,239
me stop doing that. Skyrim became
ten years old. I'm like, nope,

1328
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:39,039
no, no, fuck that.
I'm not calling Skyrim a retro game.

1329
01:24:39,079 --> 01:24:42,119
I'm not doing that. So it's
not right. The kids aren't really

1330
01:24:42,159 --> 01:24:45,159
that different from then. There's no
retro about that. Really, it's changed,

1331
01:24:45,359 --> 01:24:50,760
the definition has changed. Slant mcloss
mcclossum, I should say, says

1332
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:55,279
my pick is the Witcher two Assassin
of Kings is again yep, a huge

1333
01:24:55,279 --> 01:24:58,960
step up from the first Witcher game. Gameplay improved by a lot, and

1334
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:04,119
your choice is actually matter. See
bench. JC says Skyrim game. I've

1335
01:25:04,119 --> 01:25:08,319
never rolled credits on bench. I
don't think I have either, but played

1336
01:25:08,399 --> 01:25:11,600
hundreds and hundreds of hours. Maybe
never did. Like the next best supported

1337
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:13,720
storyline, the one was like the
two Kings. I was just like,

1338
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:17,560
ah, you both sucked then hung
out with dragons. I was like doing

1339
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,000
that. Yeah. Usually when I
play, I don't even like pick one

1340
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:21,920
of the sides, Like they're like, oh, you want to pick you

1341
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,560
know, one of them, and
it's like I'll just keep going and not

1342
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:29,680
actually do that. Yeah. Now
nowdays, I like to plays the mod

1343
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:32,720
where you just start as a random
character in the world. Uh screaming mad

1344
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:36,079
It says Madden NFL twelve took the
truck stick to a whole new level.

1345
01:25:36,079 --> 01:25:41,640
It is the new collusion system.
I think probably collision system use momentum to

1346
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:45,399
give the series collusion system, Like
what is this gaming games journalism? I

1347
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:49,920
don't think so. It used momentum
to give the series more realistic tackling,

1348
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:56,319
including over one hundred new tackling animations. But I'll also offer Batman Arkham City.

1349
01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:00,159
Yeah, definitely. Sarahs Kain says. One that I think is going

1350
01:26:00,239 --> 01:26:03,720
to be underrepresented, underrepresented, but
absolutely deserves to be mentioned is Terria.

1351
01:26:04,319 --> 01:26:09,079
Man Arria came out the same year
as like the official release of Minecraft.

1352
01:26:09,079 --> 01:26:11,960
That's pretty wild. That's pretty weird. Huh Yeah, but I guess they

1353
01:26:12,039 --> 01:26:15,880
also just feel like it's been around
for forever. Let's see. Matt Rare

1354
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:20,680
Monkey says. Outland a fantastic action
platformer that uses color changing system like Ikaruga.

1355
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:25,680
That's from house Mark. I don't
I don't know if I've ever even

1356
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:29,239
seen what Outland is. Oh,
I know this, I reviewed this.

1357
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:31,239
Yeah, they no one ever talked
about this one. I actually like this

1358
01:26:31,279 --> 01:26:34,399
one. It is just like to
the action game. You're a guy with

1359
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:38,720
a gun and there's like color changing
stuff. Yeah, yeah, I remember

1360
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,239
the time, thinking is where nobody
noticed this one? Okay, okay,

1361
01:26:42,359 --> 01:26:46,239
that sound that sounds familiar. Yeah. I liked Outland. I wonder if

1362
01:26:46,239 --> 01:26:50,640
I could find my review now,
ou smark. Yeah, oh yeah,

1363
01:26:51,359 --> 01:26:55,359
okay, yeah, Coward's score of
an eight. Right, this is the

1364
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,640
I definitely played this man that was
twenty eleven. That makes me feel very

1365
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,880
old because this feels like just a
couple of years ago. All right,

1366
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:05,520
well it's on Steam. See.
Matt also mentions Bastion SAMs for of the

1367
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:11,520
Third Ultimate Marvel versus Capcom three,
and Skyrim. Let's see. Doctor Ryan

1368
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:15,239
says Saints for the Third was robbed. I think that's a reference to Giant

1369
01:27:15,239 --> 01:27:17,680
Bomb santsro of the Third Forever.
There's a whole secret room in that mansion

1370
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:21,560
full of Dildo's Game of the Year. I do love Saints for the Third.

1371
01:27:23,199 --> 01:27:27,119
Hosp has literally finished a survival play
through yesterday. Utterly timeless and in

1372
01:27:27,119 --> 01:27:31,119
my top three games ever. And
that's for Skyrim. Michael Riley says Portal

1373
01:27:31,159 --> 01:27:36,680
two Crouching boomer By an open Fire
says Ultimate versus Capcom three a divisive title.

1374
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,479
Upon its announcement mere months after the
release of Vanilla Marvel Marvel three.

1375
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:45,800
Despite the initial pushback, the update
was welcome as it changed as it's changes

1376
01:27:45,039 --> 01:27:50,199
helped the game move past the game's
initial stagnation of the meta. Alex says,

1377
01:27:50,279 --> 01:27:54,119
most of my answers I would have
said, are already already here.

1378
01:27:54,239 --> 01:27:57,439
So I'll shout out kill Zone three. Mike, you have any love for

1379
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,439
kill Zone three? I think I
like that more than two. I remember

1380
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,479
I think I did was one the
jetpack, right, and it was more

1381
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,920
more snow. I liked the snow, that's right. Chrishure, are you

1382
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,760
like you're a kill Zone weirdo,
aren't you? Yes? So, yeah,

1383
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:15,279
it only kills on two and all
kills fist off. Just stop the

1384
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:28,560
paintings play, he said, Yes, I am much anxiety. Lenny cool

1385
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,039
Dick Diver says, I've replayed the
three S version now, but Radiant Historia

1386
01:28:31,079 --> 01:28:34,520
has the best time traveling m gimmick
in a game ever. Yeah, this

1387
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:39,079
is supposed to be like of all
the games that people say are like Crono

1388
01:28:39,119 --> 01:28:41,159
trigger. This one gets brought up
a lot, and it's supposed to be

1389
01:28:41,159 --> 01:28:45,319
fantastic. This is an interesting,
big one on my backlog. Crangeous basketball,

1390
01:28:45,359 --> 01:28:49,279
says Batman Arkham City, Isaac Clark
says Super Mario three D land Boppy.

1391
01:28:49,399 --> 01:28:53,199
New Year says I just wanted to
point out that since the Game of

1392
01:28:53,199 --> 01:28:56,399
the Year episode with jin Too,
Mike has said don't worry, Pokemon will

1393
01:28:56,399 --> 01:29:00,239
get its time to shine with black
and white as justification. When Poke mine

1394
01:29:00,279 --> 01:29:02,920
doesn't make that list and something tells
me it will not be getting it's shine

1395
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:06,359
today, It's still my vote.
Though. We'll see, we'll see.

1396
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:12,279
We're not there yet. Adam question
Mark says Game of the Year twenty eleven

1397
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,640
was one of either Skywards Sword or
Ghost Trick. Oh shit, ghost Trick.

1398
01:29:16,159 --> 01:29:19,840
Okay, I'll ghost Trick absolutely,
God, Ghost Trick is good.

1399
01:29:20,359 --> 01:29:24,640
That's you know, in a world
where I can make Jeff play games like

1400
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,279
this is one of them, I
should play Ghost Trick. I bet I

1401
01:29:27,319 --> 01:29:30,079
would that it had that switchery message
year that I think definitely went under the

1402
01:29:30,199 --> 01:29:33,319
radar. Yeah, oh yeah,
I mean this year. Yes, people

1403
01:29:33,319 --> 01:29:36,600
are like, I can't take time
for that that came out in twenty eleven.

1404
01:29:38,399 --> 01:29:44,359
Chaos Buckeru says, Jimmy Johnson's anything
with an engine, guy, I

1405
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:49,399
know, fucking Jimmy Johnson villain Maxis
Skyrim is my answer. But I wanted

1406
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:53,920
to point out how disappointed I was
with Call of Duty Modern Warfare three.

1407
01:29:54,399 --> 01:29:56,520
Yeah, I wasn't as good as
moder wlar Far two. For sure.

1408
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:59,840
This was already at this point people
were kind of like, all right,

1409
01:30:00,279 --> 01:30:01,720
like, obviously we like these games
are the best sing game every year,

1410
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:05,239
but yeah, it's interesting. Jeff, I had a friend over yesterday like

1411
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:09,079
kind of understands why I do.
There's a little bit about video games.

1412
01:30:09,159 --> 01:30:12,239
But he's like, it's really weird
to me that you, like, you

1413
01:30:12,319 --> 01:30:15,680
know, you do video games journalism
or whatever, and but you don't like

1414
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,800
player talk about Call of Duty and
Madden, which are the best selling games

1415
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:20,880
every year. Right. I was
like, yeah, I could see how

1416
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:24,239
that seems weird to you, but
you have to trust me. It's just

1417
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:28,199
it's very normal, actually, yep, because there's just not much else to

1418
01:30:28,239 --> 01:30:30,920
say about those games. Imagine maybe
even talked about Madden every year, and

1419
01:30:31,039 --> 01:30:34,960
obviously there's people who do do that, but they only talk about Madden because

1420
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:40,199
what else can you say? Uh
Eman, Goldie says, no, I'm

1421
01:30:40,239 --> 01:30:43,600
not screaming Maden, but I want
to honor the last good Madden. Right

1422
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:45,800
on point. It's Madden twelve.
This is the last game with all the

1423
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:50,279
features that current Madden players are asking
for. They gutted all future Maddens for

1424
01:30:50,399 --> 01:30:55,000
Ultimate Team. It's the last Mannen
to let you set hot dog prices?

1425
01:30:55,199 --> 01:30:57,920
Is it really? That's just something
I assume is in every Madden, and

1426
01:30:58,079 --> 01:31:00,920
I like, that's weird. I
didn't know that this is the last one

1427
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:02,920
that lets you say hot dog prices. Jeff, I think that was he

1428
01:31:03,199 --> 01:31:08,319
intended me to say it that way. Also, it covers athlete is its

1429
01:31:08,359 --> 01:31:13,319
cover athlete is in Ohio hero and
that's Peyton Hillis. Yeah. I remember

1430
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:16,319
there was like a tournament voting thing
and he won and it was very surprising

1431
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,920
to me that to see a Brownie
on the cover here. But yeah,

1432
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:27,279
yeah, Peyton Hills was a star
for sure. Yeah. Man, you

1433
01:31:27,359 --> 01:31:30,239
think about it, it's like,
obviously Ultimate Team was a big factor,

1434
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:34,159
but also this is man in twelve, So was this the last one?

1435
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:40,720
Now? Okay, I guess Matten
thirteen would have been in twenty twelve before

1436
01:31:41,359 --> 01:31:46,800
the PS or when did that come
outte twenty twelve? Was we you okay?

1437
01:31:47,039 --> 01:31:49,520
Yeah? So it's like they probably
were like getting ready for that next

1438
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:54,039
One's like they always would start pulling
features out of the man in games so

1439
01:31:54,119 --> 01:31:57,920
they could put him slowly back in
over the course of a generation, and

1440
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,520
then I think Ultimate Team just distracted
and they never did that again. That's

1441
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:06,720
real shame. Justice for hot Dog
Prices. Sasquatching says fun single play missions

1442
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:11,920
and the multiplayer was great. The
controls felt weighty, and hits were impactful.

1443
01:32:12,279 --> 01:32:15,079
Can't wait for two and this is
a reference to Warhammer forty K Space

1444
01:32:15,199 --> 01:32:20,319
Marine. You're just talking about this, yep. Adam GC says Fight Night

1445
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:24,479
Champion. I only played a few
of the Fight Night games and not very

1446
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:28,520
much, but people really like Fight
Night. Yeah, not really my thing.

1447
01:32:29,359 --> 01:32:31,279
Adam Asleep says, I think I
appreciate Mario Kart seven all the more

1448
01:32:31,319 --> 01:32:34,439
in hindsight, as it feels much
more like Mario Kart eight than Double Dash.

1449
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:39,880
Yes, and we adding underwater and
flying sections and customizable parts. It

1450
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:42,920
was an excellent game on its own
and set up a foundation that followed for

1451
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:46,079
another decade. Plus, Yep,
mariok Kurt seven is really really good,

1452
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,760
and I mean Mario Kart eight really
is just like this game. Plus,

1453
01:32:50,039 --> 01:32:54,319
so yep, more of this a
lot to Mario Kart seven. Yep.

1454
01:32:55,079 --> 01:33:00,279
Buggadillo says Dead Space two is an
incredible horror action game. Show g Cotostal

1455
01:33:00,319 --> 01:33:02,439
too. Not only was the campaign
stellar, but the co op was legitimately

1456
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:08,159
one of the best co op camp
games I can recall playing. Taniel says

1457
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:12,439
Bikini Karate Babes too. I'll hell, yeah, I don't know this.

1458
01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:15,199
This year has a lot of sleeper
hits, So to avoid being the Skyrim

1459
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:19,159
Slash Dark Souls guy, I'll shout
out Nino Cooney and Dungeon Siege three.

1460
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:23,359
Also shout out to Jetpack joy Ride, a game I played for hours on

1461
01:33:23,399 --> 01:33:27,399
my brother's iPod Touch when I was
grounded for a month. Being seventeen was

1462
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,319
weird. Yeah, shout out to
you, Taniel, But oh yeah,

1463
01:33:30,319 --> 01:33:33,520
go ahead, sorry, but Nino
Nina Kune, I'm making sure. Actually

1464
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,239
this game actually came out. Yeah, it doesn't come out in the West

1465
01:33:36,359 --> 01:33:40,520
until a couple of years. Actually, twenty e one was Japanese so we'll

1466
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:45,079
talk about Nina kuon Ah twenty thirteen. Believe it or not, Wow Bikes

1467
01:33:45,119 --> 01:33:46,640
and Bruce says, I'll throw in
for dead Space. Stue is still my

1468
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:50,319
favorite dead Space. Also, thanks
for the great year of content. Looking

1469
01:33:50,359 --> 01:33:56,039
forward to see what's coming in twenty
twenty four. Yet it was really good.

1470
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:00,600
I like to even back then,
I think I was a minority of

1471
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,439
looking Death Space of one more,
but I didn't play through all of two.

1472
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,319
But I hope, I hope they
do a remake of two because just

1473
01:34:06,319 --> 01:34:09,439
from when I play at the de
Space of wondermake, they've done a great

1474
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:12,840
job. Yeah, curious what is
that studio Let's do is working on one

1475
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:17,079
of the Marvel games now right for
you? Yeah, thank you? Motive

1476
01:34:17,359 --> 01:34:23,119
Motive, It's Motive right. And
I think that they're doing either Black Panther

1477
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:25,560
or one of the other ones.
And I can't remember which one. There's

1478
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:29,560
somebody Yeah, wonder Woman, Wonder
Woman, I think is that new whatever?

1479
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:31,600
Yeah, doctor Lydge says as Taniel
said, this year has a lot

1480
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:35,159
of sleeperheads, but also a ton
of great Superman motors making the iron Man

1481
01:34:35,199 --> 01:34:38,800
game iron Man Okay, no,
thank you. I was trying to place

1482
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,760
it. For me, I want
to shout out Dave Sex Human Revolution,

1483
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:45,760
which has some truly brilliant storytelling.
Having replayed it again at the start of

1484
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:48,159
twenty twenty three, it's just as
good as ever, but also a shout

1485
01:34:48,199 --> 01:34:53,359
out to Final Fantasy Tactics War of
the Lions. While the show slowed down

1486
01:34:53,359 --> 01:34:57,399
in the game is unfortunate, the
additions and improvements improved script make it a

1487
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:01,439
wonderful update. Betray Even says Skyrim
is a worse version of Oblivion. Dark

1488
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:05,000
Souls is a better version of Demon
Souls, easy choice for twenty eleven Game

1489
01:35:05,039 --> 01:35:11,720
of the Year. Big Tony says
Catherine Maine is a fun game. Oh

1490
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:14,359
no, sure think I don't know
if I think enough of it to top

1491
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:18,520
five it, but I like Catherine
there yeah. JD Camp says I like

1492
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:23,279
Wizorb. I think I've heard of
this, but I've never played Wizorb.

1493
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:28,439
I like pie Vision forty nine says
Dark Souls in Portal two are both probably

1494
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:30,880
top ten all timers for me,
So do your civic duty and put them

1495
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:36,920
on the list. Maw dmc slash
or in excuse me, dmc ddd's macabre

1496
01:35:38,159 --> 01:35:44,159
consygen Dudes, I don't know what
that word is. Constant Kirby Returned to

1497
01:35:44,199 --> 01:35:47,199
Dreamland was Kirby's first home console game
in ten years, and I amo where

1498
01:35:47,279 --> 01:35:50,600
the games took a big step up
in quality. A greater amount of thought

1499
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:55,479
was put into the level design,
using specific abilities to navigate challenges and selt

1500
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:59,840
puzzles, and the multiple moves per
copyability finally submitted their place in the series.

1501
01:36:00,199 --> 01:36:01,840
This is the game that got me
into the Kirby series. Is this

1502
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,720
the way they came up with?
Like, oh yeah, basically the copyabilities

1503
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:08,920
are going to work like smash attacks, where you're gonna press up to do

1504
01:36:09,039 --> 01:36:14,039
something like to press something else.
I mean, so Superstar and Superintendo did

1505
01:36:14,079 --> 01:36:16,800
that first, and then they went
back from it, like sixty four and

1506
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,119
Dreamland three didn't do that. This
was the one that brought that back.

1507
01:36:19,199 --> 01:36:23,399
This is the This was the engine
that all the two D Kirby games used

1508
01:36:23,399 --> 01:36:26,680
since then. Yep. And this
is the one that got re released through

1509
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,600
Switch this year, right one we
had the remake of this year. So

1510
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:30,479
yeah, this is one of the
games I beat this year, and I

1511
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,880
thought it was pretty good. My
kids liked it a lot. Uh tea

1512
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:36,479
money oh G says Ghost Trick is
my choice. I played it for the

1513
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:42,439
first time this year and it was
incredible. Not Scott Walker S's Pokemon Black

1514
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:46,199
and White. It's your time to
shine. Dios X Human Revolution from Hammond

1515
01:36:46,239 --> 01:36:51,319
of Texas he Got Days forty two
says Skyrim arkham City, Dark Souls and

1516
01:36:51,359 --> 01:36:56,279
Portal two rt bicksys. Twenty eleven
was the year I built my first gaming

1517
01:36:56,359 --> 01:37:00,079
PC Battlefield three witch or two and
Skyrim will always have a place in my

1518
01:37:00,159 --> 01:37:01,520
heart. Also, I didn't play
it until a couple of years later,

1519
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:06,319
but Dark Souls is an absolute masterpiece. Ali Miracle says did you all did

1520
01:37:06,359 --> 01:37:11,199
you all do? Competitive? Catherine
my sicho ass did? It was what

1521
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:15,199
also brought the robust dish multiplayer mode
in the remake. Recently, one of

1522
01:37:15,279 --> 01:37:19,119
the few plats that may have taken
may have taken a few years off my

1523
01:37:19,239 --> 01:37:24,840
life lifespan Okay, yes, and
totally also way way way too much Marvel

1524
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:29,199
versus Capcom three, Edgar marinosys.
Portal two is my game of the year.

1525
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:34,000
He also mentioned Dragon Quest six Realms
of Revelation, but I barely remember

1526
01:37:34,039 --> 01:37:39,880
that game now. Portal two still
holds up. That's interesting because Dragon Quest

1527
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:43,079
six is one that what I was
like in my Dragon Quest phase I think

1528
01:37:43,199 --> 01:37:46,920
last year or the year before,
like that's when people are seemed really mellow

1529
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,399
on. This is the remake of
it that came out for DS. I

1530
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:53,199
still want to play it at some
point, but it does not get as

1531
01:37:53,319 --> 01:37:58,640
much love as like Dragon Quest five
or four, eight or some of the

1532
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:00,920
other. Yeah. Like I was
cause I thought eight came out before this,

1533
01:38:01,079 --> 01:38:04,279
and okay, so this is a
remake, all right? Cool?

1534
01:38:05,279 --> 01:38:09,199
Uh yeah, if I remember at
the time people being like nine is great

1535
01:38:09,279 --> 01:38:14,159
and six is like m spooky Christian, I remember this iteration of FIFA being

1536
01:38:14,319 --> 01:38:16,960
very cool. But don't ask me
why because I already forgot what's different from

1537
01:38:17,039 --> 01:38:23,479
FIFA eleven. He's talk about FIFA
twelve and then Turbo Sean says, jesus

1538
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:28,960
h tap dancing christ Guys, please, I'm begging you. Pokemon black and

1539
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,079
white. There it is there,
It is all right. I'll get this,

1540
01:38:32,319 --> 01:38:38,920
uh reformatted over here so we can
see everything. Yeah, so what

1541
01:38:39,319 --> 01:38:43,560
do we want to add that people
talking about? I think definitely I added

1542
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,359
most of them. Ghost. I
added ghost trick. Yes, that's important.

1543
01:38:48,239 --> 01:38:54,359
Second one, I am pleased.
I like Ghost Trick a lot.

1544
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:59,159
Okay, this is gonna this is
going to be interesting. Maybe this is

1545
01:38:59,239 --> 01:39:03,279
maybe going to be a interesting.
Okay. So for audio listeners, here's

1546
01:39:03,319 --> 01:39:06,520
what we have. Skyrim Portal two, Super Mario three, d Land,

1547
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:11,319
Batman, Arkham City, ray Man, Origins, Pokemon, Black and White

1548
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:15,640
Saints, Throw of the Third,
Ultimate, Marvel Versus Capcom three, Bashion,

1549
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:20,000
Dark Souls, Ghost Trick. Do
we want to add which er two?

1550
01:39:20,359 --> 01:39:24,479
I never played it. I never
played it. Uh No, It's

1551
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:27,760
fine, okay, like I said, And it seems like I think it's

1552
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,279
neat that there were two people brought
it up. But I that's like the

1553
01:39:30,319 --> 01:39:31,880
first time I heard people brought it
up since what your three came out.

1554
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:35,119
I think ye. Anything else you
want to add that we've left out,

1555
01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:39,560
No, and not things that I
think me or you are going to like

1556
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:43,199
really give best strong chance here.
In terms of top five, I think

1557
01:39:43,199 --> 01:39:45,800
we're good. Yep, I think
I think we're pretty good. I am

1558
01:39:46,039 --> 01:39:50,399
interested in what you think should go
up for sure, I mean clear clearly

1559
01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:55,680
Skyrim is going to make the top
five. Skyrim is a for sure yeah,

1560
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:59,960
and that I think Batman's probably going
to go up. Portal two probably

1561
01:40:00,159 --> 01:40:02,479
goes up. Which one did you
say lastly? Sorry? Portal two,

1562
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:09,119
portal Yeah, those three seem pretty
likely to me. I really would like

1563
01:40:09,159 --> 01:40:13,680
to get Centro the third up there. Oh no, here's what you're doing

1564
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:17,800
to me. Here's my here's my
issue. Now, I understand if we

1565
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:20,640
have to, like it's the end
of the year, we gotta be nice

1566
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:24,680
to these listeners every once in a
while. Here's the thing. Yeah,

1567
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:29,239
oh no, that because I really
do want to pokemon Black White up there.

1568
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:36,359
But holy shit, do I like
ghost Trick? Okay? What if?

1569
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:42,600
What what if? What if?
What if we got Arkham City for

1570
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,159
Coast Trick? Yeah, I'm okay
with that. I like during Your City

1571
01:40:45,199 --> 01:40:49,239
a lot. He's like number six. Yeah, that's number six. Everybody.

1572
01:40:49,279 --> 01:40:53,199
It's good. There you go,
okay, all right, okay,

1573
01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:59,960
so let's just let's just start.
But look, I'm a man by word

1574
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:03,000
all these people do thinks we're gonna
do it? No fuck up, Black

1575
01:41:03,079 --> 01:41:08,359
at White is happening. Well,
let's go st trick there for a second.

1576
01:41:08,399 --> 01:41:12,399
All right, So I no,
no, I'm just gonna movie it's

1577
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:19,520
a Christmas miracle. Everybody uh,
ghost trick and then hey, it's my

1578
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:24,039
birthday month. Put ghost tric at
two. Yeah, yeah, listen,

1579
01:41:24,159 --> 01:41:26,680
this is just temporary. Okay,
yes, do you want to go strict

1580
01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:30,920
up there? I'm fine with sugar
number fucking two. Let's go as long

1581
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:32,600
as I can get seen through the
third to three. Then hey three at

1582
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:36,359
third? I like it? Okay, cool, all right, so let's

1583
01:41:36,399 --> 01:41:43,760
do this. Do you want to
put Pokemon black and White above portal two

1584
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:51,560
or not? He's really good at
number five in my opinion, really good

1585
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:59,119
showing for Pokemon black and White.
I don't know why. I think this

1586
01:41:59,279 --> 01:42:02,199
is very You make the list,
everybody, but we did. We did

1587
01:42:02,279 --> 01:42:09,760
it. I told you Pooky Monkey
making one of these lists. Oh yeah,

1588
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,119
you guys got to shut up about
Pokemon now. Sorry, No,

1589
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:15,680
it's fine, I will. I
will make fun of you if you suggest

1590
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:20,840
Pokemon X and Y, but you're
allowed to. Uh. We're cutting Super

1591
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:25,800
Mario three, d land Arkham City, ray Man Origins, Ultimate, Marvel

1592
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,920
Versus Capcom three, Bashing, and
Dark Souls. Sorry me and my can't

1593
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:33,800
play Dark Souls. Elder Scrolls five, Skyrim at number one. That does,

1594
01:42:34,399 --> 01:42:38,720
that's probably right, right, Yeah, it's Skyrim. It's a little

1595
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:43,000
boring, but it's right. Yep. Then Ghost Tricks Saints for the third

1596
01:42:43,199 --> 01:42:47,199
Portal two and Pokemon Black and White
rounded and out at number five. I

1597
01:42:47,279 --> 01:42:50,279
think last last time we did this, we actually did not have anybody yell

1598
01:42:50,279 --> 01:42:56,079
at us favoritbody seemed mostly happy.
I suspect this time we might get yelled

1599
01:42:56,079 --> 01:43:00,279
at Mike. We might get yelled
at find out right now as I post

1600
01:43:00,319 --> 01:43:03,760
it to Twitter. Yeah, I
think I think we're going to see very

1601
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:12,279
excited, still fun show we do
here. All right, there we go,

1602
01:43:12,399 --> 01:43:14,800
Game of the Year twenty eleven.
Thanks for hanging out with us for

1603
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:18,159
that, everybody, You know what, Let's do one last quick break and

1604
01:43:18,319 --> 01:43:24,600
then when we get back, we'll
talk about what we've been playing. And

1605
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:29,560
we're back. Mike, what have
you been playing? What have I been

1606
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:33,760
playing? Oh, I've been playing
that God of War Ragnarok val Hala thing.

1607
01:43:34,079 --> 01:43:36,600
Yeah, I play. I played
a couple hours of that and I

1608
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:40,520
might go back to play some more. I was enjoying that. That's pretty

1609
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:44,199
good. It's very good. I
mean, it's just a really smart way

1610
01:43:44,239 --> 01:43:46,119
of implementing that kind of in that
game, and in a way that is

1611
01:43:46,199 --> 01:43:50,760
still like continuing the narrative in some
fun ways, and does have some fun

1612
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:58,199
callbacks to the Greek Adventures, which
I enjoy. I think I made a

1613
01:43:58,279 --> 01:44:00,439
mistake though, because I first played
through, I played like three hours.

1614
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:03,199
I was completing all my runs first
try. I was like, Okay,

1615
01:44:03,239 --> 01:44:06,399
this is maybe a little too easy. I'll bump the difficulty up one notch.

1616
01:44:08,119 --> 01:44:10,800
And I don't know if the game
just also naturally got harder because I

1617
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:15,239
completed a few runs or what.
But as soon as I did that and

1618
01:44:15,319 --> 01:44:17,880
it was not supposed to be a
big increase, the game's been kicking my

1619
01:44:18,199 --> 01:44:24,000
butt then, Like I went from
three runs like three or four runs in

1620
01:44:24,039 --> 01:44:28,039
a row without really dying, to
just try to complete one more run and

1621
01:44:28,079 --> 01:44:30,000
maybe it's the last run for all
I know. I don't know, and

1622
01:44:30,039 --> 01:44:32,720
that's why it's so hard now.
In some ways, I'm happier this way

1623
01:44:33,239 --> 01:44:39,199
that it has been harder, because
that kind of was by complaint. They're

1624
01:44:39,199 --> 01:44:40,760
like, oh, this is funned. It feels like too easy. It

1625
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:43,760
doesn't feel like it feels like I
can win no matter what build I get.

1626
01:44:44,239 --> 01:44:45,680
Now I'm just struggling to even find
a build, or maybe I'm just

1627
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:48,520
not good enough yet, who knows, But yeah, I think this is

1628
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:54,600
really impressive, especially for free DLC. That's nuts. Yep, it's my

1629
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:57,960
favorite trended gaming right now. It's
uh, you know, hit Man three,

1630
01:44:58,039 --> 01:45:01,279
Freelancer, this, you know,
the mode and the Last of Us

1631
01:45:01,319 --> 01:45:04,479
which I haven't tried yet, but
I'll give it a shot. I just

1632
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:09,640
love this idea of taking all this
content and building to mode that you could

1633
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:14,399
effectively. I know, God of
War Valhalla has a sort of an ending

1634
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:16,119
you get to and then you're done, but ideally you could go back and

1635
01:45:16,159 --> 01:45:18,279
play this game best. Who knows
what the next build you're going to get

1636
01:45:18,279 --> 01:45:20,279
it is going to be, like, it could be completely different again.

1637
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:24,600
So yeah, I'm a big fan
of this idea, and I think they

1638
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:30,159
implemented it really really well. And
honestly, the storytelling stuff being very hadous,

1639
01:45:30,279 --> 01:45:32,279
like of every time you get back
most of the times when you get

1640
01:45:32,279 --> 01:45:35,000
back you get a little bit more
story and the things get developed. I

1641
01:45:35,079 --> 01:45:38,960
think that's really well done as well. So it's just through and through.

1642
01:45:39,119 --> 01:45:43,800
Very impressive. Yeah, that's exactly
where ford. I'm very impressed that this

1643
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:47,720
thing exists, you know. Credible
job by Santa Monica, that the whole

1644
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:51,159
city of Santa Monica. Yes,
I mean it takes a city absolutely to

1645
01:45:51,279 --> 01:45:55,680
make a good video game. I've
been playing and I wrote them. You

1646
01:45:55,720 --> 01:46:00,239
know, I beat that campaign of
a Steam World build, and you know,

1647
01:46:00,279 --> 01:46:01,199
at a certain point, it's like
you're kind of going through the motions

1648
01:46:01,239 --> 01:46:03,680
with a city builder, especially one
where it's like, hey, the goal

1649
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:09,199
here is to get these parts for
the spaceship and launch the spaceship, and

1650
01:46:10,359 --> 01:46:16,119
the sort of tier progression of Okay, you got to satisfy the needs of

1651
01:46:16,279 --> 01:46:20,239
this these residents, so then you
can then upgrade them to the next thing.

1652
01:46:20,319 --> 01:46:24,960
So they go from just being residents
to engineers, and then engineers to

1653
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:28,399
aristocrats, and aristocrats to scientists,
and it's like, oh, the scientists

1654
01:46:28,399 --> 01:46:30,279
are top tiers where you're going to
go, well, no, you have

1655
01:46:30,319 --> 01:46:31,800
to make all them happy. So
then they could build the rocket fuel to

1656
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,359
launch the ship. And it's like, okay, so it's pretty similar,

1657
01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:41,359
and all the buildings you're building are
they are funneling into those those needs.

1658
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:45,800
But I found that it's not like
something like SIV, and I think a

1659
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,760
lot of other city building games sounds
like to me, it's really tickles my

1660
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:54,039
fancy. Yes, I did like
look into it after you mentioned that last

1661
01:46:54,079 --> 01:46:56,520
time, and it's like, I
think that's probably right. Does Anno have

1662
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:58,960
a thing where like when you put
a building down, it feels like it's

1663
01:46:59,039 --> 01:47:01,640
doing its own thing because that here, it's like at a certain point,

1664
01:47:01,640 --> 01:47:06,199
the city just follows like a big
blob of stuff that sounds like okay,

1665
01:47:06,319 --> 01:47:10,439
okay, okay, And it's like, you know, I didn't feel that

1666
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:12,319
way until the very end, So
it's like, up to that point,

1667
01:47:12,359 --> 01:47:15,039
it's like, you know, this
is fine, that's very satisfying, but

1668
01:47:15,079 --> 01:47:15,960
by the end, I'm like,
okay, yeah, this just kind of

1669
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:19,319
a big log glob and I don't
have any attachments really to any specific building

1670
01:47:19,399 --> 01:47:25,600
or anything like that. And you
know the underground stuff that I mentioned last

1671
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:30,439
time, where it has some of
the tower defense elements, that stuff never

1672
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:32,359
got annoying. It was just very
straightforward. At a certain point, you

1673
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:36,279
are always getting attacked, but if
you have your defenses set up properly,

1674
01:47:36,319 --> 01:47:39,840
it kind of just takes care of
itself. And that's kind of nice to

1675
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:41,880
be, like I don't even have
to go check in on that level because

1676
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,920
I know my infantry men are going
to go out and they're going to attack,

1677
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:47,479
and then if they break through those
lines, the big laser beams will

1678
01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:50,000
take them out, the big electrical
gun will take them out, and then

1679
01:47:50,159 --> 01:47:55,079
the infantrymen will respawn and be able
to fight back. And then once once

1680
01:47:55,159 --> 01:47:58,640
the fighting dies down, the mechanics
will fix everything and fix up all the

1681
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:01,159
people, and that floor be completely
set so you don't have to actually get

1682
01:48:01,159 --> 01:48:04,720
distracted from what you're doing if you
have your defenses set up properly, properly,

1683
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:09,760
and I like that, but yeah, I you know, the last

1684
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:15,279
underground level of opening up these spaces
and building bridges, I really liked that

1685
01:48:15,399 --> 01:48:17,960
element of it. Of Okay,
this one feels much more like I'm exploring

1686
01:48:18,039 --> 01:48:21,279
the dungeon to a certain extent,
and that was pretty good. But I

1687
01:48:21,359 --> 01:48:25,520
definitely was ready to wrap it up
when I got through that first campaign,

1688
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,000
And like I said, I don't
know if I'm gonna do another run with

1689
01:48:28,079 --> 01:48:30,600
the game. Maybe maybe I'll get
their urge to do it, but right

1690
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:32,399
now I'm like, ah, I'm
gonna consider that game beaten. I won

1691
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:39,000
one run of it. That's a
beaten game. I also started Ads Guards

1692
01:48:39,039 --> 01:48:44,560
Wrath two for the Medaquest three mic
out a ten game from IGN. Yeah,

1693
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:48,199
people seem really high on this,
and I get why because it's basically

1694
01:48:50,079 --> 01:48:54,479
it's like God of War but in
VR very much. For like, you

1695
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:57,479
get an ax that looks like a
hammer and you can throw it and then

1696
01:48:57,479 --> 01:48:59,760
you press a button and you whip
your hand back and it flies right back

1697
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:01,960
in your hand, and that feels
as good as it sounds. It is

1698
01:49:02,359 --> 01:49:08,600
such a cool feeling. And there's
like wall running in VR, which I

1699
01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:10,800
think some people are like, that's
going to make me sick. It actually

1700
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:15,119
works just fine. It's just a
pretty cool action game with some like light

1701
01:49:15,319 --> 01:49:19,880
puzzle solving stuff here and there,
but going into a new room having to

1702
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:23,279
explore it and be like, all
right, there's some pots over there I

1703
01:49:23,319 --> 01:49:26,079
want to break and just throwing my
axe at it and then whipping it back.

1704
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,880
That's like really satisfying. That is
like a ten out of ten game

1705
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,640
mechanic on its own. So building
a whole game around that and making a

1706
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:35,880
bunch of fun stuff to do with
that, that that's what they did,

1707
01:49:36,039 --> 01:49:40,279
and that's a very satisfying game.
The boss flights are actually pretty cool too.

1708
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,399
I'm fighting a giant griffin and this
is like the first five minutes of

1709
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:45,680
the game this part, so no
spoilers, I guess if people care about

1710
01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:50,039
ascards or a two spoilers. But
it's like a giant griffin and it's like

1711
01:49:50,079 --> 01:49:55,000
hanging over you and they get fires
fireballs that use you swing at those,

1712
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,479
those fly back at the griffin.
It gets stunned, and then you can

1713
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,640
approach it, like by dashing towards
it, and then you just stab it

1714
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,039
with the sword and it feels like
I'm stabbing it with the sword and that's

1715
01:50:04,159 --> 01:50:09,159
very cool as well. So it's
like a big real game. I don't

1716
01:50:09,199 --> 01:50:12,159
know how it really stacks up to
Alex. I think Alex is probably still

1717
01:50:12,239 --> 01:50:15,880
more impressive generally, but this is
a really fun, solid real VR game

1718
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:19,479
and I'm pretty impressed by it.
Do you how do you feel about all

1719
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:24,920
the Norse stuff? Like I definitely
have some Norse fatigue. Oh definitely fatigua

1720
01:50:25,039 --> 01:50:28,520
right yeah. So oh it's like
looky this and O and that and there's

1721
01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:30,640
a Thor and it's another version of
Thor and say, oh my god,

1722
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:34,600
really we're doing this. How many
do we need? I don't need this

1723
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:41,079
many Thors, I really don't.
But it's also not like it doesn't ruin

1724
01:50:41,119 --> 01:50:44,119
anything on its own. It's a
fine take on all those things, but

1725
01:50:44,239 --> 01:50:46,720
I am definitely tired of it.
I will say, if you are trying

1726
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:49,439
to make a game on the cheap, though, and yet you want to

1727
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:53,039
like have stuff that feels like,
well, I know what this is and

1728
01:50:53,119 --> 01:50:56,640
I have a connection to these things, Norse mythology goes a long way toward

1729
01:50:56,640 --> 01:51:00,439
accomplishing that, so I don't blame
them for going the It does do the

1730
01:51:00,479 --> 01:51:04,239
thing also where what people are asking
God of War to do, it goes

1731
01:51:04,279 --> 01:51:08,000
to Egypt, like you, so
you're like doing shit in Egypt with like

1732
01:51:08,079 --> 01:51:11,680
Egyptian gods and stuff. So that's
a pretty cool take. I guess that

1733
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,239
means it's gonna be more difficult for
God a word to do it, or

1734
01:51:14,279 --> 01:51:16,800
maybe that won't matter. But yeah, it's it's impressive and I'm gonna keep

1735
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:21,479
playing it. I still don't know
how much I need real VR games,

1736
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:25,960
though, even if it is like
a really solid someone I'm like I would

1737
01:51:26,119 --> 01:51:30,600
I think I'd rather just be playing
a video game on my couch or on

1738
01:51:30,720 --> 01:51:33,039
my bean bag with the Steam deck. This is great and all, but

1739
01:51:33,199 --> 01:51:36,600
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get
done with Asgard's Raft two and being like,

1740
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,479
all right, what's next, I'm
like, No, that was a

1741
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:43,039
fun use of this mediquest three thing
that I got from from Facebook that they

1742
01:51:43,079 --> 01:51:46,319
sent to me, and cool,
that's that was that. Now that had

1743
01:51:46,359 --> 01:51:49,840
set made sense to actually try and
mess around with. And I don't need

1744
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:54,119
another one of those necessarily, but
maybe I'll feel different after I play more

1745
01:51:54,159 --> 01:51:58,880
of it. And then I've been
playing a more case of the Golden Idol.

1746
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:03,520
My save got corrupted. People might
remember this my mistake got corypticcause I

1747
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:06,600
was playing in the early days on
the Steam deck and something got messed up

1748
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:10,399
with the Steam save and so I
lost all my progress and I kind of

1749
01:52:10,399 --> 01:52:13,600
didn't want to go back and redo
everything. I'm at a point now where

1750
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:15,520
I'm like, I don't remember all
these things. So it's fun once again

1751
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:18,279
to solve that stuff. And now
I'm further into the game than I ever

1752
01:52:18,520 --> 01:52:25,720
was and basically near the original ending
ending of that and it's still really good.

1753
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:28,399
And now I have two sets of
DLC to get through, which are

1754
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:31,319
like whole new campaigns on their own, and that they that studio said they

1755
01:52:31,359 --> 01:52:33,199
have a new game coming to that. They announced that the Summer game are

1756
01:52:33,239 --> 01:52:36,640
at the Game Awards, So I'm
just fully back on board with these games

1757
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:44,680
and it's definitely Chance of Sinar.
This game and a Return of the over

1758
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:48,279
Den are just this genre of figuring
things out in your head that I'm just

1759
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:51,840
I am super into right now.
So yeah, a big fan of Case

1760
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:56,640
of the Golden Idol. I really
like its style. Still of the hand

1761
01:52:56,720 --> 01:53:01,039
drawn art and these static scenes of
just grew some murders, but it's kind

1762
01:53:01,079 --> 01:53:03,840
of cartoony in a fun way.
I know, big fan of Case of

1763
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:06,640
the Golden Idol, but that's it
for me, Mike, I don't know.

1764
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:13,159
Yeah. I also have been playing
the Dead Space or remake, which

1765
01:53:13,199 --> 01:53:15,319
is a weird thing to play at
the end of this year. Since it

1766
01:53:15,359 --> 01:53:17,720
came out the beginning, it feels
like a really long time ago. This

1767
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:21,279
is actually a game club game.
God, I wish I put this one

1768
01:53:21,399 --> 01:53:26,920
to come out though. It is
very good, big surprise. I even

1769
01:53:27,079 --> 01:53:30,319
liked the original Dead Space. I
did play through it even back when it

1770
01:53:30,479 --> 01:53:33,520
was my coward age, But god, this game does just look gorgeous now

1771
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:38,920
everything that was fun about that original, just like giving you that gun that

1772
01:53:39,039 --> 01:53:44,119
shoots like in lines and having those
very obvious thin limbs this shoot off.

1773
01:53:44,199 --> 01:53:45,680
I love that that could be the
only weapon the game, honestly, and

1774
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:49,920
I almost maybe would even like it
better. Yeah for real. But you

1775
01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:53,680
know all the added stuff that they
did add like there is a lot more

1776
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:57,399
of those dead zero G stuff,
and it feels really neat in here.

1777
01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:02,600
I love the zero G. It's
not disorienting. Actually if somehow controls really

1778
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:08,359
fluidly and it's it's just a neat
It is a very good spaceship game,

1779
01:54:08,479 --> 01:54:11,880
right, You want a game just
like set on a spaceship so space station

1780
01:54:12,359 --> 01:54:16,159
that kind of have those like an
eighties or seventies dirty sci fi a sect

1781
01:54:16,199 --> 01:54:21,199
to it. I don't know there's
anything better than this, so I'm I'm

1782
01:54:21,279 --> 01:54:27,479
quite enjoying it. What a great
year for that kind of third person survival

1783
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:30,399
horror style game, right, ye
stuff. Yeah, I think the industry

1784
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:33,760
is realizing that as a well,
they can keep going back to over and

1785
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:38,720
over because the audience it's in those
into those kind of games, They don't

1786
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:41,520
they don't get sick of them.
They just want more and more and more.

1787
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:45,640
And it's an audience that's getting bigger
all the time and resume problems,

1788
01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:47,079
so the biggest proof of that.
But yeah, it's it's not a genre

1789
01:54:47,199 --> 01:54:50,239
like some giant RPG thing where that's
the game you're gonna then play for one

1790
01:54:50,319 --> 01:54:54,239
hundred hours or yeah, you beat
these games in like ten, twelve,

1791
01:54:54,279 --> 01:54:57,119
fifteen hours and maybe you'll play go
and play in a few more times,

1792
01:54:57,159 --> 01:55:00,680
but even that most is going to
be a forty hour thing and then yeah,

1793
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:03,159
you want a new one? All
right, Mike, I think that's

1794
01:55:03,199 --> 01:55:05,319
time to wrap it up. What
do you say? Yeah, Hey,

1795
01:55:05,399 --> 01:55:08,159
you know what, Jeff, what
a year. We got a few more

1796
01:55:08,199 --> 01:55:11,640
super chats. Let's hit them this
first, but first, but Ben,

1797
01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:15,159
Yeah, a lot of stuff was
going on this year. It was so

1798
01:55:15,279 --> 01:55:18,880
much fun to do that with you
and with the community. Definitely, we're

1799
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:23,119
definitely on a lot of stuff now. It's shocking how much stuff we're on.

1800
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:28,319
This was the og game Messed Asides
formerly Games Beat the Sides, laid

1801
01:55:28,399 --> 01:55:30,399
back when, and it's still always
a highlight of my week doing this show

1802
01:55:30,479 --> 01:55:32,640
with you and game to hang out
with it. Yeah, likewise, I

1803
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:36,039
always look forward to it. It's
I'm glad that it's still so much fun

1804
01:55:36,079 --> 01:55:40,039
to do, and you're right,
the community has been great. Everyone's been

1805
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:44,039
very cool as we are on more
stuff. So it just means a lot

1806
01:55:44,119 --> 01:55:45,880
that we get to keep doing this
and we'll do more of it next year,

1807
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:48,680
including you know, I think next
week we should get you over here.

1808
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:50,880
We'll do our Game of the Year
episode. I've been yeah, man,

1809
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:55,880
I've been writing down some categories that
I'll share with you. But okay,

1810
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:58,880
we also I think we also had
a thread going on. Yeah,

1811
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:01,359

Got second place is time I'll take it.

1818
01:56:26,279 --> 01:56:29,680
So I Fantasy Critic, Yes,
that thing that I totally didn't forget

1819
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:32,159
about Fantasy Critic and they don't want
to hear any more ship from it.

1820
01:56:32,279 --> 01:56:34,600
About it from you ever? Again, that's what I want? Yeah,

1821
01:56:34,640 --> 01:56:38,520
how's Rebirth going? Mike? You
haven't fun with that game that came out

1822
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:41,359
this year. I dropped it.
I dropped it and picked up new things,

1823
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:45,119
actually know how to play Fantasy critic. Hold the fucking Jeff. Do

1824
01:56:45,159 --> 01:56:47,680
you remember when, well, not
even like six months ago, this guy

1825
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:51,840
was like, I don't know how
to do any of this American So what

1826
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:59,720
are we gonna do about this?
But he did bob burrow them all down

1827
01:57:00,199 --> 01:57:03,600
down both the leagues we don't need. Yeah, we also will get a

1828
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:08,680
recap from Wolf about our Metacritic predictions
for the quarter. What do you mean?

1829
01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:11,119
I got third? I got third? What are you talking about?

1830
01:57:11,439 --> 01:57:13,880
Never mind, I'm not gonna talk. I'm not going to defend a loser.

1831
01:57:14,239 --> 01:57:16,840
Man. I had a very solid
second place. That's a yeah,

1832
01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:21,520
what lait? I'm a fourth?
What happened? Actually? I can't be

1833
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:25,000
associated with you anymore, Mike.
I didn't know you were that bad at

1834
01:57:25,079 --> 01:57:27,600
it? Oh my god, I
thought it was what the what happened?

1835
01:57:27,600 --> 01:57:30,800
The char Wolf? All? So? Oh? I surely got Iscard's Reft

1836
01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:34,279
two. That was really that's a
hell of a pickup. Yeah, no

1837
01:57:34,399 --> 01:57:38,720
wonder, that's what I got,
like a ninety two one Metacritic or something

1838
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:43,760
like that. Okay, well,
there you go. Then that'll do it

1839
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:45,439
all right. Well, anyways,
there was a lot of fun, and

1840
01:57:45,479 --> 01:57:47,359
I'm coming for everybody next year for
sure. Let's get to the rest of

1841
01:57:47,399 --> 01:57:53,800
these super chets. Please about that
band says, Have either of you heard

1842
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:59,520
about the new good Field game Mameta
no Bakeru it's japan only in a spiritual

1843
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:04,680
successor goiman. It's been making splashes
on the Nintendo Twitter today. I think

1844
01:58:04,720 --> 01:58:08,359
I've heard a little bit. What
is this? What is this called?

1845
01:58:08,439 --> 01:58:13,159
Now, Mama, it's Japanese,
but Meda no bakarru? Okay, I

1846
01:58:13,239 --> 01:58:16,920
see that. Yeah, it's a
uh so, yeah, this is the

1847
01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:21,520
going mon spiritual successor. And this
game does actually look pretty fun. I'm

1848
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:25,920
not kind of that. That does
look cool. That does look pretty cool,

1849
01:58:25,960 --> 01:58:30,880
so it might look into it.
Uh Giovanni d Giorgio Man By the

1850
01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:32,680
way, I saw Ferrari, which
is just was so Italian, just the

1851
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:36,520
Italians of it was the most Italian
movie ever made. It was a pretty

1852
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:44,239
Italian movie, also surprisingly gruesome movie. But it just adds up if you

1853
01:58:44,239 --> 01:58:46,159
want to go see that. Yeah, but Giovanni says, Yo, let's

1854
01:58:46,199 --> 01:58:50,199
say that Grubway TM Sandwiches will open
at an end of this week. What

1855
01:58:50,359 --> 01:58:55,119
is your signature sandwich and what kind
of sandwich would you make an honor of

1856
01:58:55,199 --> 01:58:57,479
Mike, Sean and Christian? All
right, Jeff, what's your signature?

1857
01:58:57,560 --> 01:59:00,119
Yeah, my signature sandwich would be
it would be a tune grub style and

1858
01:59:00,359 --> 01:59:04,960
that would be me just stealing the
recipe from Jimmy John's, which is they

1859
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:08,840
put soy sauce in the dune a
fish and it's actually really really good.

1860
01:59:09,039 --> 01:59:12,880
But you put that on toasted wheat
bread with some holopenos and that would be

1861
01:59:12,920 --> 01:59:15,399
my sandwich. God, that sounds
fantastic. I can eat that right now.

1862
01:59:15,479 --> 01:59:18,960
Okay, Well my sandwich Bee,
I would just just steal the Italian

1863
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:23,640
BMT. You would just be that
from from with a lot of yellow mustard.

1864
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:26,319
I don't think you like yellow mustard. That sea for tomato. I

1865
01:59:26,359 --> 01:59:29,079
don't want to slice the tomato.
Okay, no tomato, no tomato.

1866
01:59:29,199 --> 01:59:30,960
You know, I'm just a meat, cheese, sauce kind of guy.

1867
01:59:30,039 --> 01:59:32,720
Yeah, what like could I put
onion on? There? Is there something?

1868
01:59:33,079 --> 01:59:36,079
Okay? What is like the closest
thing to onion tomato that we could

1869
01:59:36,119 --> 01:59:39,000
put on there? Could we put
like a pepper on there, like a

1870
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:45,560
sauce on there? Okay, salt
and pepper, oil and vinegar. There

1871
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:49,760
we go. That's all we'd put
on there. Sean, what Sean would

1872
01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:55,239
be, what's the sandwich for a
pervert? Yeah, it's a sandwich for

1873
01:59:55,319 --> 02:00:00,119
a perver, like Italian hot and
beef. That's a that's a really had

1874
02:00:00,159 --> 02:00:06,279
pervert sandwich. A French dip or
something like that, definite, because it's

1875
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:12,039
disgusting and driping. Okay. And
then let's see. Christian would be,

1876
02:00:12,199 --> 02:00:15,600
I don't know, something spicy because
a Latin food. Yeah, yeah,

1877
02:00:15,880 --> 02:00:19,039
sure, I'll take it. We'll
sandwich something spicy. It's just something spicy,

1878
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:25,000
peer red pepper. You eat it? Yeah, just a big pepper

1879
02:00:25,039 --> 02:00:28,479
on bread, that's it, and
used to bite into it. Charter Woolf

1880
02:00:28,479 --> 02:00:30,119
says, I fully understand liking a
Charter two more than three. I have

1881
02:00:30,159 --> 02:00:32,600
a lot of nostalgia for three,
so that's why it's my favorite. Both

1882
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:38,000
are incredible to me. I would
like to play three again as my favorite

1883
02:00:38,039 --> 02:00:41,039
memory three is going to the E
three when they're showing it off in that

1884
02:00:41,439 --> 02:00:45,640
theater that looked like that cargo plane. That was really cool. She geared

1885
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:47,560
me. Meto says, I hope
you criminals had a good crisp excuse me,

1886
02:00:47,720 --> 02:00:49,760
Christmas. Thank you, Shaggy,
Sorry, shaky. The spear is

1887
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:54,439
making me a little gassy. I've
been spending the week trying to get ahold

1888
02:00:54,479 --> 02:00:58,680
of Zack Snyder to direct the Kirby
movie. Cool. Chris d d D

1889
02:00:58,920 --> 02:01:01,640
is unlike anything you've ever seen.
I'd be four, okay, you you

1890
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:05,279
would be fine if Chris Pratt was
King d D. Though, right,

1891
02:01:05,560 --> 02:01:10,359
Oh yeah, of course, because
like now at this point in my life,

1892
02:01:10,439 --> 02:01:14,760
King d D just sounds like a
wild Uh you not to usebody,

1893
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:16,960
Sam, what's the chickens name the
rooster's name from? Oh yeah yeah,

1894
02:01:17,199 --> 02:01:21,680
loghorn leghorn, Yeah yeah horn like
foghorn leghorn, Yeah yeah, I said,

1895
02:01:21,720 --> 02:01:30,319
I said, Boss said yeah,
And that's basically that something I don't

1896
02:01:30,359 --> 02:01:32,680
think actually is, but it sounded
that way. I don't like saying the

1897
02:01:32,760 --> 02:01:36,880
word boy. Okay, yes,
never there it is. That's the problem.

1898
02:01:38,199 --> 02:01:40,359
Uh. Hey, probs are going
to the playoffs. How about that?

1899
02:01:41,479 --> 02:01:45,079
Congratulations that that is really incredible.
Both the Lions and the Browns in

02:01:59,039 --> 02:02:01,600
in a roof or a game Miss
Hall Fame segment. Loved the show.

1904
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:05,279
We thought about doing one for here. Then we kind of didn't have time

1905
02:02:05,399 --> 02:02:10,199
for game. Been a busy week, give me busy a couple of weeks.

1906
02:02:10,239 --> 02:02:12,880
We'll get back to. Yeah,
the All Fame is a special tree.

1907
02:02:12,960 --> 02:02:15,600
There's other segments. One all I
want to do like shit Hot and

1908
02:02:15,920 --> 02:02:18,319
King Hot. Whatever we do,
we'll definitely do like a We'll do a

1909
02:02:18,399 --> 02:02:21,319
mount rushmore before we do in the
next Game of the Year thing. Also,

1910
02:02:21,640 --> 02:02:24,600
yeah, well we'll spreak on on
some of those other ones. I

1911
02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:26,760
want to do the Gaming Dude of
the Year, but that could be a

1912
02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:30,800
Game of the Year category, so
well we'll have that all right. I

1913
02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:34,319
think that's it. We are caught
up. Okay, last thing in phill

1914
02:02:34,439 --> 02:02:39,359
Theobolds Game of the Year list on
Giant Bomb, he mentions this sd shin

1915
02:02:39,560 --> 02:02:44,399
Common Rider rumble for Nintendo Switch and
Steam and I was gonna get it for

1916
02:02:44,479 --> 02:02:46,399
Steam, but I think it's only
in the Japanese Steam Store. Is that

1917
02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:49,840
like relatively easy to get games from? Does anyone know? If you do,

1918
02:02:50,119 --> 02:02:53,439
let me know, But otherwise I
guess I'll just buy this for the

1919
02:02:54,119 --> 02:02:57,680
Japanese switchtore because I have a Japanese
switch account. When I have to buy

1920
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:00,800
games, I've done it before.
Jeff, we can we working if you

1921
02:03:00,840 --> 02:03:03,279
want. Okay, this sounds good
because it's got Shin Godzilla in it.

1922
02:03:03,359 --> 02:03:06,840
You could play a sham Godzilla,
so do that. I need to see

1923
02:03:06,840 --> 02:03:11,279
Shin Godzilla because I somehow missed that
and some people like that even more than

1924
02:03:11,399 --> 02:03:15,880
minus minus one. And I really
liked MIAs one, so I got that

1925
02:03:15,039 --> 02:03:18,439
good. Yeah, all right,
I'm gonna hit this button. Mike.

1926
02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:21,079
It's gonna go fast. So tell
people where they could find you on the

1927
02:03:21,119 --> 02:03:24,840
internet. Well, tolkodo you know
where to find me. But my top

1928
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:29,760
ten lists on Giant Bomb is going
to be up tomorrow at two pm mesters,

1929
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:30,640
so check out. Thanks for working
on that, Mike, appreciate it.

1930
02:03:30,800 --> 02:03:32,720
Thank you for how about you,
Sean? When's yours go up?

1931
02:03:34,279 --> 02:03:36,439
First of all, I think Mike
is wrong. I'm pretty sure his up

1932
02:03:36,479 --> 02:03:41,119
at noon Eastern, and I think
I'm gonna sneak mine in and hour ahead.

1933
02:03:41,399 --> 02:03:43,640
I'm looking at it right now.
It's just two pm Eastern on the

1934
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:47,439
site, so I'm just saying it's
all times time zones. Yeah, I

1935
02:03:47,479 --> 02:03:51,800
was gonna say times out. I
hate the CMS so much. Yeah,

1936
02:03:53,079 --> 02:03:56,680
huh. We found out that if
you use just one of the images on

1937
02:03:56,760 --> 02:03:59,760
our library, it deletes them.
It just deletes it from the servers.

1938
02:04:00,479 --> 02:04:02,640
That's been pretty cool. Christian's Top
ten is out you can bring down on

1939
02:04:02,680 --> 02:04:06,600
the site right now, Give that
to anybody these days. Yeah, yeah,

1940
02:04:09,479 --> 02:04:30,159
the music is really that excellents everybody. Bye, Yeah, we're coming.

1941
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:33,399
They are going to come for Zelda. All right, we're out.

1942
02:04:34,359 --> 02:04:38,119
What was the name of that of
that cap co. Yeah, I'm trying.

1943
02:04:38,159 --> 02:04:41,159
I'm trying to remember, uh no, no, no, no,

1944
02:04:41,319 --> 02:04:45,840
no, no no no, Princess
of the Trail Path, the Goddess.

1945
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:48,720
Yes, there's some other there's a
preamble to that as well, but I

1946
02:04:48,760 --> 02:04:54,000
can't remember what it is. That's
goning to game pass day one. Remember

1947
02:04:55,159 --> 02:05:01,119
trying to ask go Gomi, Right, Yeah, that one looks I don't

1948
02:05:01,159 --> 02:05:05,199
I think that looks really cool.
Yes, it looks awesome. It kind

1949
02:05:05,199 --> 02:05:09,079
of looks Annie Musha inspired, right, yes, a little bit better.

1950
02:05:10,439 --> 02:05:13,119
Yeah, it thinks for all the
super chats, everybody, we're gonna get

1951
02:05:13,159 --> 02:05:15,920
to those first thing after this break, so look out for that. Thank

1952
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,079
you everybody for tuning in. We
got we had one. We had more

1953
02:05:18,079 --> 02:05:20,920
than four hundred people watching before he
went to the break. Uh, but

1954
02:05:21,079 --> 02:05:26,880
thank you for tuning in. They're
just like, I ain't got time exactly.

1955
02:05:29,399 --> 02:05:31,600
What was that, Christian do hit
the like button? Oh yeah,

1956
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:35,159
hit the like button. Thank you, everybody appreciate it. Whenever you say

1957
02:05:35,239 --> 02:05:41,600
hit the light button, I think
YouTube is using like like a or something

1958
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:48,640
the thumbs up lights up, like
it's weird. Is it just people pressing

1959
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:53,159
the like button when you no,
no, no, you should like when

1960
02:05:53,159 --> 02:05:56,359
I when you're watching a video,
now just check. Whenever the guy says

1961
02:05:56,560 --> 02:05:59,960
hit the light button, the light
button was like, well like shine.

1962
02:06:00,279 --> 02:06:05,119
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm still of the opinion that like

1963
02:06:05,279 --> 02:06:10,119
Blizzard listens to voice chat or they
have bots that listen to voice chat,

1964
02:06:10,199 --> 02:06:13,079
and they like try to put people
together that have like interest based on what

1965
02:06:13,119 --> 02:06:15,159
they're talking about. And I think
they did that with Overwatch a lot to

1966
02:06:15,279 --> 02:06:17,960
be like, I always get like
paired with other people that like knew my

1967
02:06:18,079 --> 02:06:21,279
references. I like, I had
been watching a lot of drag Race or

1968
02:06:21,319 --> 02:06:24,800
whatever, and so I'd be like
make a reference to that, and every

1969
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:26,800
time it was playing, no matter
what, some would be like, yeah,

1970
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:28,680
I was watching that too. Now, maybe it's just a very popular

1971
02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:34,640
yeah, very very rarely about.
No listen, but I still believe it

1972
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:38,039
my ten foil. It's a weird
now. The day after a super Bowl

1973
02:06:38,039 --> 02:06:42,039
everyone was talking about football. Day
after it was like a several seasons.

1974
02:06:42,479 --> 02:06:45,319
Listen, I know what I know, and I know what I saw,

1975
02:06:45,640 --> 02:06:49,319
all right, Okay, okay,
it just wouldn't surprise me. Blizzard does

1976
02:06:49,359 --> 02:06:54,399
stuff. Also, I think it's
like I would get in a bunch of

1977
02:06:54,439 --> 02:06:59,199
matches with other people named Grub and
like this is like some sort of a

1978
02:07:00,239 --> 02:07:01,800
yeah right. I think that's just
them. I think it all is if

1979
02:07:01,800 --> 02:07:04,399
they're like trying to make it a
pleasant experience and get people to work together.

1980
02:07:06,159 --> 02:07:11,039
I guess that movie is so incredible, so bad, how do you

1981
02:07:12,239 --> 02:07:18,399
it is baffling the space when they
open up the space, of course,

1982
02:07:18,479 --> 02:07:25,720
well listen, of course, he's
gonna do space space vagina whatever. The

1983
02:07:25,920 --> 02:07:32,359
very first shot is space unfurling like
a flower, and then and then a

1984
02:07:32,439 --> 02:07:41,119
penis shaped ship flying through that opening
of space, so to speak. Whatever

1985
02:07:41,359 --> 02:07:46,520
whatever about that? Like every single
scene is like, hey, what if

1986
02:07:46,520 --> 02:07:49,960
another like threat of sexual assault happened? It's come on, can we chill

1987
02:07:50,039 --> 02:07:54,119
out? And even that's like not
the worst thing about the movie, although

1988
02:07:54,159 --> 02:07:58,119
that is like exhausting, uh,
but the worst thing about the movie is

1989
02:07:58,680 --> 02:08:05,600
I don't care about anybody. It's
just another introduction another like a scene where

1990
02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:09,920
they're like I'm gonna do a sad
soliloquy about my feelings. I don't fucking

1991
02:08:11,079 --> 02:08:15,039
know you. Why are you talking? It's so poorly. It's like I

1992
02:08:15,199 --> 02:08:18,079
cannot believe how bad that's you said, what's up with this mola with this

1993
02:08:18,159 --> 02:08:24,600
guy in this lowm Zack snyer.
Yeah, it's so bad. It's really

1994
02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:26,119
bad. And yeah, I mean
I feel bad for a lot of the

1995
02:08:26,199 --> 02:08:31,880
actors because clearly Zack Snyder didn't care
and made them look bad. They that's

1996
02:08:33,079 --> 02:08:37,319
the worst spot. Like they're very
talented, like very good actors. And

1997
02:08:37,439 --> 02:08:41,279
then she's like, oh, this
story is just bad. Yeah, she's

1998
02:08:41,439 --> 02:08:45,439
bad and yeah he has that thing
where like, you know, we're like,

1999
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:48,840
you shouldn't do your movie, shouldn't
be righted, like and then this

2000
02:08:50,079 --> 02:08:52,560
happened, and then this other happened. Yes, it's definitely that. Yes,

2001
02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:56,520
just that it's an eight year old
recounting a story they heard at school,

2002
02:08:56,720 --> 02:09:00,479
and then this and then this,
and then this and then this,

2003
02:09:00,960 --> 02:09:03,279
and it's none of it is you
know, but this happened or because that

2004
02:09:03,399 --> 02:09:07,840
happened, this happens. It's just
one. It's like right to hell retribution.

2005
02:09:09,119 --> 02:09:11,880
It really is. It's like,
uh, here, this scene's happening.

2006
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:13,479
Now that it's done, here's the
next thing. Oh my god,

2007
02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:18,479
how can you have spent this much
money making this ship? I guess the

2008
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:20,960
worst thing about it is like back
in the day, we used to get

2009
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:24,439
a lot of movies like this.
I think about that. What's that video

2010
02:09:24,479 --> 02:09:31,880
game that Mark Hamill was in Wolf
Space fucking oh oh oh Star Star Wolf

2011
02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:37,680
God damn it. Uh they made
a movie based on that, Ween Commander,

2012
02:09:37,760 --> 02:09:41,319
thank you, Adam. Yes,
yes, they made me Might Always

2013
02:09:41,359 --> 02:09:45,720
Go Past in my Origin library,
Yes, exactly. Yes, And like

2014
02:09:45,840 --> 02:09:48,960
Wing Commander got a movie and it's
like but it was made by just you

2015
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:52,199
know, some schmuck. It was
made by like someone that never was going

2016
02:09:52,279 --> 02:09:54,720
to be able to make another big
budget movie. Its like yeah, wing

2017
02:09:54,760 --> 02:09:58,520
Commander. Nowadays we get Zack Snyder
like taking all the money to make some

2018
02:09:58,640 --> 02:10:03,520
shitty movie instead of having like some
like up and comer get a chance to

2019
02:10:03,600 --> 02:10:07,560
do that and a fucking suck.
Well it's another there's another two movies coming

2020
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:15,119
out on the rebel moon. Ye
can't wait. Okay, let's get back

2021
02:10:15,159 --> 02:10:18,920
into it with the super chants.

Oh yeah, it's everywhere now baby,

2035
02:11:37,720 --> 02:11:43,520
Yeah yeah, no, excuse it's
not long either. I think the entire

2036
02:11:43,600 --> 02:11:46,560
thing might be like, it's a
dumb game for dumb child. So wow,

2037
02:11:48,680 --> 02:11:52,600
I don't know. I don't know
what you just hated, because anytime

2038
02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:58,119
you've watched a Capcom Pro Tour stream, you've had to watch that's constantly this

2039
02:11:58,279 --> 02:12:03,560
year mikes like that flew under the
radar. Trust me, if you watch

2040
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:09,840
Fire this year, you know about
Ghost Trick remaster. Yeah we did,

2041

02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:52,119
it's in three bunths. It looks
fine on stream, right, It's like,

2049
02:12:52,199 --> 02:12:54,840
what is he doing that when he
could? Yeah, because it's just

2050
02:12:54,039 --> 02:12:56,920
yeah, we try it right now. Why is he be dumb? That's

2051
02:12:58,079 --> 02:13:07,479
that's the really well you know why, Hey, look at that. That's

2052
02:13:07,600 --> 02:13:11,479
that's much more convenient. Okay,
go back to this. Some people can

2053
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:16,680
see the list for a little bit. Hey, what do you guys?

2054
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:22,479
What have you guys been playing?
Oh? This Tar White cappin playing.

2055
02:13:22,880 --> 02:13:31,239
Yeah, I've been playing a little
cup and the finals. I've been checking

2056
02:13:31,239 --> 02:13:33,520
out some fine games. D n
F Duel was free on the Upper Games

2057
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:41,640
earlier today. That's expensive for that
game. It's fun, it's aiding.

2058
02:13:41,840 --> 02:13:46,680
It's like Marvel it's fun. No, never said that about that game.

2059
02:13:46,560 --> 02:13:50,560
Yeah, shut the fuck up.
I'm playing. I'm playing a rom hack

2060
02:13:52,039 --> 02:13:56,560
of the Pokemon TCG on game Boy
that replaces the cards with slightly newer cards.

2061
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:01,279
Oh what's that like? It it's
fun because it like completely mixes up,

2062
02:14:01,560 --> 02:14:05,000
you know, like like you go
through that, Jeff, you still

2063
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:07,600
haven't played it, right, you
haven't? No, Okay, So it

2064
02:14:07,800 --> 02:14:11,039
is like an RPG like the traditional
Pokemon games, and so I played through

2065
02:14:11,119 --> 02:14:16,800
that RPG a million times, mixing
up the cards that it replaces all of

2066
02:14:16,880 --> 02:14:20,560
them with. Is this Gen two? It's not super righter, but just

2067
02:14:20,720 --> 02:14:24,439
even that is like, Wow,
I don't know what this person's gonna have.

2068
02:14:24,640 --> 02:14:28,319
I don't know, you know,
like it completely changes the way I

2069
02:14:28,359 --> 02:14:31,039
build my decksenter. I think it's
it's awesome. I love it. That's

2070
02:14:31,159 --> 02:14:33,840
yeah, that's really cool. I
should spend more time with like randomizers and

2071
02:14:33,840 --> 02:14:37,119
stuff, because yeah, I already
play games so much. I should start

2072
02:14:37,159 --> 02:14:39,520
doing that. Yeah, if it's
a game you really love, randomizer is

2073
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:43,479
a good way to go back to
it. Yeah, definitely. Okay,

2074
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:48,880
myself a celebration beer. Okay,
okay, now Mike's back. I got

2075
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:52,479
a question. What game do you
get? Oh? He did the thing,

2076
02:14:52,640 --> 02:14:56,520
very satisfied. What game do you
think people are going to bring up

2077
02:14:56,600 --> 02:15:01,680
the most of? Oh you put
this on the list? Oh nonnd the

2078
02:15:01,760 --> 02:15:09,720
list to be Ghost Trick but Saints
Row but row At. Some people will

2079
02:15:09,720 --> 02:15:13,239
be upset about Pokemon. Nobody will
be upset about Skyrimore Portal. No,

2080
02:15:13,720 --> 02:15:16,840
the real ones know with Pokemon,
they're like, okay, they finally put

2081
02:15:18,359 --> 02:15:22,920
the Pokemon game real row Like Saints
Row was very popular with Giant Bomb,

2082
02:15:24,119 --> 02:15:28,960
so like that's gonna play well there
the realist ones will know about Ghost Trick,

2083
02:15:28,039 --> 02:15:31,000
and that's why I think it would
be Saints Row. Yeah, because

2084
02:15:31,119 --> 02:15:35,399
like Ghost Trick is like a cult
classic is going to get a lot of

2085
02:15:35,439 --> 02:15:39,199
heat from the my wider audience on
Twitter are gonna be upset that that's in

2086
02:15:39,239 --> 02:15:43,600
a not u and not freaking,
but but that that's like so that's like

2087
02:15:43,680 --> 02:15:46,039
the early game of the year.
Lore from the Giant Bomb is like sant

2088
02:15:46,159 --> 02:15:50,439
Ro should have beat Skyrim, like
that's the censor, the throat should have

2089
02:15:50,720 --> 02:15:52,199
sat throw the third should have been
better than Skyrim on that list, and

2090
02:15:52,279 --> 02:15:56,920
everyone was really mad that it didn't
even like Skyrim. I don't know about

2091
02:15:56,000 --> 02:16:01,880
that one. Strow the Third is
fantastastic. It's so good. Yeah it

2092
02:16:01,119 --> 02:16:05,359
was. It was all right,
Oh my god, you know what,

2093
02:16:05,439 --> 02:16:09,159
Go back to your hole, all
right, go back to thinking Mars's Kachman

2094
02:16:09,159 --> 02:16:16,640
three looks good. All right,
here we go, you guys, ready, Yes,
