You are listening to Video Games to
the Max. Hello, and welcome to

2
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.000
another edition of Video Games to the
Max. I am your host, Sean

3
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.039
Garmer, and here with me as
oisbas or Mark Morrison. Oday. Well,

4
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.600
h we were supposed to take a
breakout to this spoilercast to have like

5
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:36.280
that week. Then you went to
the hospital again. Yep, the cool

6
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.600
place to go. Yeah, you
think you're gonna be like done with the

7
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:46.159
hospital now or god no, I
mean for now, I'm okay, but

8
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.159
we'll see what happens in the future. Ah, that sucks to hear.

9
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.799
Basically developed on the leg that operated
on I developed a blood clot. Ah

10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.520
sounds worrying, and they're slowly breaking
it apart. I had a problem with

11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.000
just like ten years ago or twelve
years ago and my and my good leg

12
00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:08.319
and when that happened, then they
just did surgery and removed it, which

13
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.959
sticks me up. Damn there instantly. But now this one they're taking that

14
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.200
there's there no surgery and it's like, oh, just take these two pills

15
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.760
every day and it'll eventually go now
and after three months, Yeah, it's

16
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.480
cool. Yeah, that's that's definitely
interesting that they've had to work on that

17
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.879
so much and then so they can't
figure out like what it is. Just

18
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.319
no, it's a blood clod in
my thigh. Ah, a pribabe from

19
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.319
like inaction. I mean it was
also in a cast that was a problem.

20
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.840
Is like this cast was like squeezing
the bottom part of my leg greatly,

21
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.120
so the blood is built up in
my thigh. It's getting better now,

22
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.200
but it still feels all fucked up
and my knee hurts a lot,

23
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:00.400
like and also that my skin became
like incredibly taught and hard, like it's

24
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.840
it's like if you press into your
thigh, you can press into a thigh

25
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.319
or you should be able to my
Like my bad leg was like hard as

26
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:10.639
a rock, like you couldn't press
into it. And I was like that's

27
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:16.879
slightly worrying, yes, ah,
but isn't that like also where you had

28
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.240
the cancer now that was my ankle. Oh okay, so yeah this is

29
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.039
this is above that, but yeah
it's still not fun. Sorry after all

30
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.599
that, and now I'm back,
well now the ankle thing is kind of

31
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.599
on hold, like I'm just wearing
this like boot thing, which is uncomfortable

32
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.639
as well, but he doesn't want
to put me back in the cast because

33
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.400
it could ah, you know,
cause him at a blood clot So it's

34
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.680
like, well, what am I
supposed to do? And he was like,

35
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.520
well, keep doing what you're doing. It's like that's okay, that's

36
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.520
not super helpful, but yeah,
it sucks again. Hopefully things can get

37
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:00.000
better for you. Yeah, sorry, I need to buy dumb shit,

38
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.000
dumb shit, so that helps.
Well, we'll talk about that. You

39
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.960
know, to some people that might
be what you just subscribe to others that

40
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:15.680
might be an awesome part of adding
to your collections. So we have I

41
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:22.439
have been playing some games. Mark
finished Diable four, so he'll give final

42
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.439
thoughts on that, and then well, I guess the main part. You

43
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:31.360
always have a seasonal stuff whatever,
and I've played and finished Venba, so

44
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.960
I get to talk about that,
which I really loved, and then you

45
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.520
get I played some Day More Day
mayor in nineteen ninety four, which comes

46
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.639
out like next week Russell Requests,
which comes out tomorrow for you guys.

47
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.039
And yeah, some other stuff is
what Xbox three sixty store is going down,

48
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.439
and we'll have plenty of other things
to talk about. Helly, will

49
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.439
let's go ahead and get this out
of the way. You know, so

50
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.759
we can pay some bills here.

that is going on. So,
like two of the main shows we're already

55
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.639
been recorded today, so you could
go check out the news Talk to Cakey

56
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:36.240
episode, which is our our anime
podcasts. The ratherish or broadcasting folks did

57
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:42.600
their Damn You Hollywood reviewing Blue Beetle, so if you haven't watched that movie

58
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.680
and you kind of wanted some thoughts
on it, you can get their thoughts,

59
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.959
and they do a pretty great review
of every movie they do, so

60
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:56.240
definitely you know you're gonna get every
kind of every part of it covered.

61
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.480
Now, if you haven't seen the
movie, there might be parts of it

62
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.480
where you kind of want to turn
it off. Go watch a movie and

63
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.959
come back if you were interested.
That's a movie I've e been interested as

64
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:08.959
well, between that and the Ninja
Turtles, So I think next week,

65
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:15.639
yeah, go ahead, Turtles,
Well, next week are on Tuesday's my

66
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.519
theater does the five dollars tickets,
So I think next Tuesday I might just

67
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.759
go see a double feature or something
like that. It's the theaters by me

68
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:30.399
that's every day. Oh well,
that's nice, but this theater is new.

69
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.879
They have all this fancy stuff and
bowling and games and whatnot, and

70
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.000
they want to make money, so
they definitely cannot do that. It'd be

71
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.480
nice if they had the RDX thing
there too, so I wouldn't have to

72
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.759
go all the way to Miami when
there's a movie to watching that. But

73
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.800
that's like every now and then thing. It's not every movie. It's basically

74
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:56.959
your action movies. You watching that. So but yeah, let's I guess

75
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.240
go ahead and start where we usually
always do, which is the game is

76
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.600
leave him playing. Uh, you
have said a lot about Diable of four.

77
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.240
Other people have come on here and
talked a lot. I mean I

78
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.000
finished it like a month ago on
my own, but now I finished it

79
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.759
with the ends. We really powered
through it a few nights ago or over

80
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:21.879
this past week. Really he hates
it. Oh well, that's encouraging.

81
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:29.319
Yeah. Uh. They introduced a
bad guy like an Act four who completely

82
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.319
dominates the game for like two acts
and it's terrible. I mean he's introduced

83
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.879
even earlier than that. It's just
awful. Ah. He hates the World

84
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:42.079
Boss system because it's not a timer, like a six hour timer, and

85
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.079
he's like, well, how dare
they make me play the game at seven

86
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.800
pm? You know, I got
other's important to do. And it's like,

87
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.439
well, you get you get four
times to do it per day and

88
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.399
you get seven days, so it's
not that hard, you know. But

89
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.360
he was like, oh, it
doesn't respect my time and all this other

90
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.839
dumb shit. Uh. I mean, we did the World Boss. We

91
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.560
did it twice, like two days
ago. We died the first time because

92
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:11.000
we just didn't have enough people and
we had like one like level of seventeen

93
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.160
guy, except what the fuck is
this guy doing it? And then we

94
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:15.800
did it. We did it successfully
the second time, and then after we

95
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.920
afterally did it, he's like,
all right, I'm going to bed,

96
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.360
and then like five minutes later he's
like he messaged me and he's like,

97
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:26.399
oh, I just deleted the game, like I'm done with so that'll be

98
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.360
his game of the year. I
don't know. I still enjoy the game,

99
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.240
but it's a repetitive as hell.
I'm not playing any seasonal character because

100
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:39.000
I don't do that. Yeah,
it's it's for me. It's just simple,

101
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.279
so simplistic, or so my numbing
or you know, I can shut

102
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.120
my brain off. And I mean
I was playing it earlier, watching Finding

103
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.560
Forest or on Blu Ray. So
so you were telling me before we started

104
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.920
that his main thing is he doesn't
like that it's kind of MMOs sort of

105
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.399
base that that's the Yeah, that's
like the world system. Like yeah,

106
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.720
he was because I was like,
it's at seven pm and one am and

107
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.439
then and then like seven pm at
one pm. Basically that's one of the

108
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.199
world balls pops up. Yeah,
and then he was like, oh,

109
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.920
how dare they you know, how
DAREK games dictate you know, my schedule

110
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.639
to me or and it's like that's
how every mm always ever, you know.

111
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.120
And he was talking about like he
played I think the Older Public,

112
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.879
which isn't MMO technically, but it's
so single player focused to an extent.

113
00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.679
I mean it has like high end
raids and shit, but that's a for

114
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.080
high end players. And I think
he said he played a little start Trick

115
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.480
online but not a ton but he's
never played Wow, and he never will.

116
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.200
And that's all Wow is is you'll
get your ass on at seven seven

117
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.399
pm and start rating, you know, if either twenty four people or however

118
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.919
many get on, you know.
So, I mean I think that's how

119
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.039
Final Fantasy fourteen is also, I
assume, ah, well, yes,

120
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.120
maybe not to the extent Wow.
Well, No fourteen has a lot of

121
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.600
stuff you can do solo. Yeah, I mean, so its Wow technically,

122
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.519
but I mean, just like you
know, I'm sure there's some sort

123
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.759
of world bosses and finne Fase fourteen
that are like, Okay, this thing

124
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.600
spawns at eight pm. If you're
gonna face it, get on then yeah.

125
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.960
So he yeah, he's never played
an MMO, he never will h

126
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.879
And yeah, he vastly disliked the
game. And I still think it's,

127
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.799
you know, reasonably okay. But
I think for both of us, at

128
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.159
least for me, I was kind
of expecting it. Well, I wasn't

129
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.120
hoping to be like my game of
the Year or like, you know,

130
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.840
way up there, and you know, it may make a top ten list

131
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.399
for me, but it would be
like number ten or nine. Right.

132
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.919
It seems like it's something that a
lot of people loved when they first came

133
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.799
out. When it first came out, Uh, played it to the ends.

134
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.399
Yeah, and then he burned through
the content and then he just see

135
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.840
how repetitive the end game is.
It's like, okay, you can do

136
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.480
the is like four things and that's
it. And it's like the only goal

137
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.200
I guess is to get to like
level one hundred and to beat like the

138
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:13.320
the real world boss or the real
boss Uberla. But that's that. Seems

139
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.159
like you're really having to do a
lot too. Yeah, and also like

140
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.240
to you know, in past Diavlo
games, it's like, okay, get

141
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.000
new gear every you know, a
few levels. Uh, because I'm all

142
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.240
with my other character. Really,
I haven't gotten like new gear in a

143
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.240
while. Like I'm still using the
same weapon I've had like like eight levels

144
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.440
ago, simply because I never find
anything new. This isn't fun, you

145
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.919
know, Like yeah, all doing
is like selling or you know, vendor

146
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.879
trashing all my gear or all the
stuff I getting dungeons because it's like this

147
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.960
is all worthless to me. I
mean I might find like a new pair

148
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.480
of gloves that's like, oh this
is you know, eight percent better than

149
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.440
what I'm wearing it's like, Wow, what a big difference. Also,

150
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.440
I mean I agree with this.
Also he hate he hates the leveling system

151
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:05.240
in the game, like the everything
scales to your level, and that's bad

152
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.200
because because you never feel overpowered at
one point. Yeah, that's exactly it,

153
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.840
like the start of the game.
If you go back to that area

154
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.120
later on, I was like,
Okay, everything's level fifty now, It's

155
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.240
like what all. It's really funny. There are two dungeons in the games.

156
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.320
I do have a set difficulty,
so I ran him through one of

157
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.039
them. I ran into the level
fifty one with my level seventy eight character,

158
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.600
and I'm decimating everything. You know, it's like one shotting. That's

159
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.600
exactly what you want. Yeah,
almost everything, like a few bosses took

160
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.480
like me, like two or three
hits. But it's like who cares.

161
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.240
And he was like, yeah,
this is yeah exactly, this is this

162
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.399
is how the game should be.
Or it's like the optional like that I

163
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.759
should have made that like something that
you could if you wanted to have that,

164
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.639
or something you can put in for
a second when you do a second

165
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.159
play through or something like that.
But yeah, yeah, yeah, and

166
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.840
you get like the hardcore option,
or it's like, okay, I want

167
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.600
to turn like level scaling on or
off. The problem if if it's off

168
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.039
is you know you have to design
Okay, now this area has to be

169
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.960
like level one to ten, this
area, you know, this other areas

170
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.120
to be like level eleven to twenty. You know, you really do have

171
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:24.080
to like section off the world.
But that's fine, you know, I

172
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.919
don't mind that. Really, I
mean that's really that really is how WOW

173
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.759
used to be, not WHOW is
all levels scaling as well, Like you

174
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.159
can do anything you want in a
WOW. But back in the day,

175
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.639
you know, it's a win forest. There's level one to one to ten,

176
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.639
and west Fall was like eleven to
twenty, you know, right,

177
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.879
I get the mentality. I guess
it's like, oh, we want to

178
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.080
give you, you know, play
or choice where we want to have you

179
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.240
know, if you want whatever you
want to wherever you want to go,

180
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.480
you can, you can do it. But it's a I prefer a more

181
00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:01.039
guided experience because I don't feel powerful
at all. That's just weird because like

182
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.279
most sarpugs, that's kind of how
you want to feel. Would you want

183
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.440
to feel like you're level seventy eight
you want to feel like you're like you

184
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:15.679
earn that ability to be up there
when you go to those, especially in

185
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.399
places where you're you are having a
backtrack or something like that. You know.

186
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.279
It's yeah, I mean, it's
it seems weird that they level scaled

187
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.559
everything, or at least didn't give
you the option to not have that on

188
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.559
if you didn't want to or well, it's funny because the assassins feared about

189
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.360
HOWIDD did basically the same thing where
initially the game wasn't level scaling, but

190
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.720
then they introduced it like later on, it's like what, like why do

191
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.200
you do that? You know,
that's a kind of hard time to be

192
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:50.120
putting that in right now. Yeah, but I don't know. I still

193
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.759
like diable before well enough, and
I will eventually grind out to a level

194
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.039
hundred character. But once that happens, and then once I beat Uberllla,

195
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.159
that'll be it for a while until
yeah, they release actual DLC. And

196
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.000
it's funny because we killed Lilith and
the ending cinematic is like she literally turns

197
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.919
into a statue and crumbles and he
thinks that she's gonna come back, and

198
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.639
it's like no, because I think
they must tell you definitively there. Well,

199
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.679
the other expansions, it's like like
Diablo three, it's like, oh,

200
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.240
the Gablo three, he killed Diablo, but like he doesn't come back

201
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.200
for the expansion. It's a new
bad guy. And the same thing happens

202
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.960
in Diablo two. You know.
So I think her story's done, you

203
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:39.720
know exactly. Yeah. Aside from
that, I bought a copy of h

204
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:46.799
Valkyrie Profile for the PS one.
That's an expensive game. Uh. It's

205
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.000
like two seventy uh, which is
actually like not a bad deal against normally

206
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.320
three hundred, and the copy I
got is in like really good condition.

207
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.879
Ah, so I was happy to
happy about that. Uh. I'm on

208
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.159
track this week to hope. I'm
going to trade in a bunch of stuff

209
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.440
for this way out there, but
I'm gonna try to buy a copy of

210
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.440
a game called Kuwan. Okay,
we never heard of it. No,

211
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:20.080
it's a it's a PS two game, uh, made by Funk Software.

212
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.399
And the minute I said that,
like Jen's in desire perked up. He's

213
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.960
like, what the hell is this? Is that from software? Pretty much?

214
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.440
Yeah? No way, I mean
it's not a it's not a great

215
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.320
game. It has like pretty middling
scores, but it's like a it's like

216
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.840
a period specific survive a horror game, and like Japan's you know, ancient

217
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.720
or some ancient period in Japan.
Uh. The thing retails nowadays for over

218
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.000
like eight hundred dollars. Wow.
Yeah, the copy I'm getting is priced

219
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.159
at seven hundred and uh. And
I'll have a coupon or a few discounts,

220
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.399
and like I'm trading in like a
turbographics for it and some other you

221
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.559
know, should I don't need.
Yeah, so it would be cool.

222
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.639
I mean, you're gonna talk about
your games real quick, go ahead,

223
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.200
but we should talk about that Twisted
Metal show. Well, I've only watched

224
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.759
I think like three four episodes,
so I need to catch up to the

225
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.799
rest of it. Okay. It
is apparently one of Peacock's highest rated shows.

226
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.399
Of people are like, that's not
hugely surprising because it's one of Peacock's

227
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.799
only shows that has actual named actors
in it. I mean, I like

228
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.600
the four episodes I've watched, you
know, it's it's a it's kind of

229
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:40.960
bad show. It is a profoundly
weird show because they introduced all this like

230
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.799
weird bootleg ass like history a twisted
metal that like is not there at all

231
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.159
in the games, and like,
I mean, this is I guess the

232
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.120
spoiler of the show. It is
all basically a preamble to the actual Twista

233
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:02.000
Mitalle tournament, and it's like,
why didn't you just fill Matt Like it

234
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.119
reminds me it's not as bad as
well, I didn't think it was bad

235
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.519
actually, but it reminds me of
that Halo TV show where it's all like

236
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.359
a prequel to them getting on fucking
Halo, and it's like, yeah,

237
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.519
I don't I don't need the bad
story of John. It's funny that John

238
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.640
is the main mainly the main character
in both games or both TV shows rather

239
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:32.799
h and Anthony Mackie and the girl
Stephanie Beatrix or Beatrix. Yeah, yeah,

240
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.799
they do good work or they're fine, but quite a few times I

241
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.920
think Anthony mack is really good in
the role. Yeah, I don't think

242
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:48.200
he's quite cast well in this like
he's I guess I view him more and

243
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.119
like the Falcon role or like the
Adjustment Bureau, where he's more of like

244
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.559
a smart, smarter guy. Like
this, the character is pretty dumb.

245
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:02.279
H And because I feel like that's
that's the point. Yeah, he's supposed

246
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:06.519
to be kind of, you know, dim wit or whatever. But yeah,

247
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.640
yeah, well, I mean it's
very much that the Ryan Reynolds or

248
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.599
Chris Pratt mold you know. Yeah, but they couldn't get those guys.

249
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.920
So it's not bad. And I'll
watch the next season and there actually is

250
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.799
some really good act there's a really
good I think it's an episode seven or

251
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:29.920
eight. Uh, there's a really
good guest appearance by Chloe Feineman from S

252
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.759
and L in it. Ah,
but like to show itself, it's just

253
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.480
incredibly strange, not bad, and
I have positive thoughts, I guess,

254
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.039
but it's just it's just weird.
But speaking of speaking of positive stuff,

255
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:52.720
I was Russell Cuss treating you you
would pick the one that's maybe not so

256
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.359
positive or I mean, one of
them. I'm gonna be super positive on

257
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.279
the other one, you know,
I need to play more of it,

258
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:04.559
and then the other the one.
Ah, so okay, Look, wrestle

259
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.319
quests, I think, to me, I feel about wrestle Quests sort of

260
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:15.119
the same way I feel about one
Piece of Odyssey, in that they do

261
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:22.079
a great job of building up everything, like building up the world, building

262
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:29.160
up the character. I love the
character that you play at you know,

263
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.359
the main character Randy Santos or whatever, not so much like some of the

264
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.000
other ones that you play as later. Uh, you know, being set

265
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:44.920
in like basically like Legendsville and of
wrestling of the eighties and nineties, which

266
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.400
is, you know what I grew
up on and love and love all those

267
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:53.799
wrestlers some back then. Not that
I don't you know, the wrestling today

268
00:19:53.880 --> 00:20:00.880
is fine, just you know,
nostalgia, right. Yeah. The problem

269
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.119
is that like one piece, if
you strip the one piece part of it

270
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:11.559
off, you have a really generic
RPG behind, and it's actually interesting at

271
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.839
first, like, oh wow,
wrestling and an RPG. They actually made

272
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.559
this work. It's cool. And
then you realize that it's the same thing

273
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:26.359
over and over and over and over
and nothing ever really changes other than okay,

274
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.519
I get other characters and I get
to upgrade my moves, and yeah,

275
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.480
you can say that all turn based
archpougs are kind of like that.

276
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:45.200
But the thing is that they add
on different gameplay components. Usually the enemies

277
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.559
get much harder, make you have
to be strategic. There's really not that

278
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:56.200
here. That's the problem is the
strategy is pretty much the same regardless of

279
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:02.039
who you're fighting. They try to
add in little things like you know the

280
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.000
WW games where they have the oh, you gotta do this, you gotta

281
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:10.359
do this before you finish the match. Okay, that especially makes the match

282
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:15.079
last long. It doesn't really make
you want to do those things. And

283
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.000
while I appreciate that they are trying
to sort of also, hey, we

284
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.599
know Wesson's fake. We're not going
to try to make it feel like we

285
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:29.279
don't know. We do. We
make jokes about the fact that is what

286
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.000
it is. You know, we
make a big deal. You know,

287
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:38.680
they use insider language. There's a
whole quest about the guy doesn't know which

288
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.400
face paint to wear because I'm trying
to use early stuff so I don't spoil

289
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.079
it for you, but whatever,
right, excided. And also, again,

290
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.839
you can play this for free on
Netflix if you have a Netflix account,

291
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.160
so you're not you don't have to
go out and buy this if you

292
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.720
don't want to. And we'll talk
about what Netflix is doing, which makes

293
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.279
it even cooler that you might be
able to play this on something it's not

294
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.880
your phone. But anyway, Yeah, it's like for me, it's just

295
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:11.400
it feels like they've really got the
part that everybody wanted, but then forgot

296
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.960
that the game play needs. And
then that's what's the problem, is this

297
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:21.880
is a video game at the end
of the day, and no amount of

298
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.079
how much I love wrestling from back
then, it's not gonna have me remember

299
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.440
that. I've got to play through
this, especially if you're reviewing it,

300
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.279
right, So that's the problem.
At it's problems like, oh, you're

301
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.920
in the same thing at our one
as our fifty, you know, yeah,

302
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.119
exactly, like and then the thing
is like, again, the world's

303
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:47.559
compelling. There is some cool little
story bits a here, like the cameo

304
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.799
stuff from certain characters and having characters
show up, Like there's obviously love for

305
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:57.960
old school wrestling, and I appreciate
that, but not everybody is going to

306
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.519
Okay, for one, I think
anybody's playing this game definitely has to have

307
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.920
some kind of appreciation for wrestling for
back then, because I don't understand why

308
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.000
you do playing this game. If
you don't, I don't think that this

309
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:17.440
is something that you're gonna get your
GQ wrestling fan to really kind of check

310
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.000
this out outside of like knowing some
of the wrestlers that are on the cover

311
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.599
or finding out that a certain wrestler
is on is in the game. So

312
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:33.880
I don't I don't think even even
AW or Firepro or any of these other

313
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.799
or WW games have anything to worry
about here, right, But yeah,

314
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:42.799
yeah, it's just it sucks because
I really wanted this to be, like

315
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.400
I was hoping this is gonna be
one of those stand out indie games,

316
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.680
h and it wound up like kind
of not being that. And and for

317
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.400
the premise that it has, like
what a perfect marriage, right, two

318
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.319
things that I love and a lot
of people love. And then it helps

319
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.680
say, you know, ked Greg
Miller was doing his thing with Jeff Jared

320
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.200
trying to hype it up and everything, and yes Jeff Jared was also with

321
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.839
the Giant Bomb cast or like some
the email show of that. It's like

322
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.200
what they tried. They tried a
lot of things, and I appreciate that.

323
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:21.519
Again, like they tried to do
some wrestling angle stuff to get people

324
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:23.359
into it and maybe it'll work.
You know, I don't know how many

325
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:29.440
people are. There's a lot of
wishless for this game unfortunately. Also the

326
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.920
thing that sucks as well for them
is that embargo was supposed to be the

327
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:40.240
day before the original release state,
and they didn't email anybody and say,

328
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:44.200
hey, embargo then moved up.
Technically, you could start releasing your review

329
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.279
right then if you wanted to.
I think most people kind of waited a

330
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.519
week from what I'm seeing to release
their review. But still it just it

331
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.640
sucks. It sucks when this kind
of thing happens. Again, It's not

332
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.640
a bad game by any means.
It's just a very one note game,

333
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:07.240
and you're eventually going to get tired
of the game and kind of just be

334
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.640
like, Okay, let's see this
getting no and that that's the thing too,

335
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.000
is just like there's not there's not
enough moves, right, That's the

336
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:21.440
thing too, is like wrestling.
Wrestling games nowadays you have moves of the

337
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:26.720
wazoo to do. There's always something. I'm Eventually you get into a flow.

338
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.880
In every wrestling game you end up
using a lot of the same moves.

339
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:36.200
And yes, again the match is
gonna feel repetitive or whatever. But

340
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:41.519
this also the aspect of Okay,
the AI is fighting against you, right,

341
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.480
and it's real time. And the
thing with it being turn based is

342
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.519
that's the one thing that makes this
difficulty being turn basis, Okay, I

343
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.240
know what I gotta do. You
never really feel in danger. Also,

344
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.160
like I never feel like, oh
I'm gonna die, Oh I'm gonna I'm

345
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.920
oh my meter is gonna go all
the way down, like because you know

346
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.519
what to do to make sure that
the meter doesn't go down. It's not

347
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:08.799
like an aw game where the AI
is gonna make it to where you don't.

348
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.359
You don't really get a choice as
whether your meter's gonna go down or

349
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.400
not because they're gonna slam you.
They're gonna there's gonna become a point where

350
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:21.319
you're not gonna be able to block
when they're attacks or whatever. So it's

351
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:25.119
just it's, like I said,
it's something I really wanted to want to

352
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:30.319
like, and unfortunately I do like
it, just don't like it enough.

353
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:34.039
And I think that seems to be
the sentiment of most people that review the

354
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:40.839
game. I'm sure that when the
game drops in a few hours on locks

355
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.119
for people, there's gonna be people
that are gonna be like, oh my

356
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.519
god, I don't know what those
reviewers are talking about. They're just talking

357
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.039
bs. Just wait, vote,
just wait, you tell me when you

358
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.079
get to the end of the game. You loved it from the minute one

359
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.359
to the minute of the end and
never felt any of that because I'm here

360
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.519
to tell you that I don't know. I don't know what you're you're feeling

361
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:06.000
there. Yeah, but hey,
each stone. That's what's cool about opinions

362
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.160
and games and stuff. You can
all like and dislike things. So a

363
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:18.680
game that I absolutely loved, and
it's great because you don't have to spend

364
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:25.880
a long time playing it because it's
very very short. It's literally an hour

365
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.359
and a half. Not kidding,
it's literally an hour and a half.

366
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:37.400
It's a wonderful little story of a
family, a husband and wife that moved

367
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:42.519
to Canada in the eighties from India
and they wind up, you know,

368
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:47.799
finding out that the moment that they're
going to try to, oh, we

369
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.200
might go back, they find out
that they're pregnant. So they wind up

370
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:57.119
staying because they think that Canada is
a better place than the you know,

371
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:03.400
the going back to India to raise
their kid. And man, they struggle,

372
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.279
like the dad can't find a job. He's a writer. He can't

373
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:12.039
find you know, a job that
he he he winds up having to take

374
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:18.279
a job that he doesn't want in
order to just be able to, you

375
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.559
know, care by this family.
The mom is struggling as well, and

376
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.200
they're just doing what they can for
their kid. And it's something that I

377
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.440
could totally relate to, and I
think anybody that has kids or or grew

378
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:36.359
up like that can relate to.
Yeah, this is a plot to Finis

379
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:42.640
sixteen, Right, Yeah, exactly, that's exactly what we're trying to get

380
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:51.759
at. Yeah, but no,
like I really just it helped it identified

381
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:56.119
a lot with it as well,
because I grew up I'm a part of

382
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.079
the I'm trying not to spoil the
story, but a part of like a

383
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:04.960
theme of the story is that he
the Sun rejects the as as a growing

384
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:11.759
up. He rejects the Indian stuff
they try to raise him, you know,

385
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.839
to to learn the language, to
learn about the food, to learn

386
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:19.920
to cook the food, all that
stuff, and he rejects it because in

387
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:26.759
Canada, nobody knows any of that, right And in Texas, where I

388
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.480
grew up, nobody really knew Venezuelan
and stuff either, right, you're you're

389
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.680
all, You're everybody that that speaks
Spanish is Mexican automatically. Now, today

390
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:40.240
might be a little bit different.
You have all kinds of different Latino people

391
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.799
that have come to live in Texas
since then all that it maybe maybe you

392
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.440
don't have that sort of feeling.
But back then and even later as an

393
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.319
adult, until I moved here and
saw the difference. Right, we're talking

394
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:57.759
about Miami, the Latin capital of
the whole entire United States, I embraced

395
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:03.160
my culture more when I I came
here, uh, and and wanted to

396
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.119
like learn about other Latin cultures and
stuff like that. Whereas over there and

397
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.000
in Texas, I kind of rejected
that because it didn't It wasn't I didn't

398
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.599
feel like I was fitting in and
I wanted to just be h here,

399
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.279
I'm the white kid, right like, uh, you know. So it

400
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:23.839
wasn't until basically being an adult where
I had to really use the Spanish to

401
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:32.599
get jobs and and things like that
that I appreciated that. But it's so

402
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:36.960
like again, it's like the various
things that they feel a connection to this

403
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.640
game, so I and I feel
like they they actually delivered in that the

404
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:48.000
story delivers for us how short it
is. Obviously, I didn't have to

405
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:49.640
buy it because it's on game Pass. So if you have game Pass,

406
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.839
you can just go check it out
there. I think it's only like ten

407
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.440
dollars anymore. So, I I
know some people might say, like an

408
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:02.559
hour and a half game or whatever
is not worth ten dollars. I would

409
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:04.960
beg to differ depending on the connection
you haven't Also, the food, the

410
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:11.000
cooking stuff. Listen, you're not
going to fail the cooking. It automatically

411
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.039
fails you. You don't fail.
It just makes you go back to the

412
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:15.920
beginning and do it again until you
get it right. So it's not like

413
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.839
and the hints aren't totally like sometimes
self explanatory. You kind of do have

414
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:25.519
to, like, look, you
kind of do have to like pay attention

415
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.839
to what it's trying to tell you. Yeah, and I did appreciate that,

416
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.160
Like it did feel like little puzzles
that you're doing. But when you

417
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:34.720
figured it out, it was cool
because you got to see the whole meal

418
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.240
and how it's made. And now
I kind of want to go eat Indian

419
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:42.319
food. I don't know if they
make a difference between any Indian food that's

420
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.480
around here where I live, whether
it's South Indian, which is what the

421
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:51.000
game is based off of, compared
to other parts of India. So but

422
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.640
either way, the food that was
in made on that in that game looks

423
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:59.160
great, so that's a very big
props to them on that as well,

424
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:04.599
the developers. So yeah, it
total thumbs up for me on Vemba.

425
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.079
I think everybody should go give it
a try. If you lack narrative games,

426
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:12.799
it's definitely one to check out.
It does have some branching stuff.

427
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.000
I don't know if that makes a
big difference or not, but yeah,

428
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:21.559
it's it has some touching moments and
since some cool some cool things, cool

429
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:28.480
ending and all that stuff too cool. Damer In nineteen ninety four is actually,

430
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.920
I think a prequel to the damer
In nineteen ninety eight game, which

431
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.839
I forgot existed until I was researching
stuff for this game. I think it

432
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:42.240
doesn't come out until August thirtieth,
so I won't talk too much about it.

433
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.400
But it's essentially if you didn't play
the first game or have no idea

434
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.160
the first game existed, but this
one kind of got a bigger hype because

435
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:57.319
it's been part of various like indie
shows and stuff like that. It's essentially

436
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:04.000
like a think about if you had
a PS one sort of resident evil inspired

437
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:09.720
game. Yeah, so basically,
you know the the your main character is

438
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:17.079
a female I guess, more like
not Jill, the other one player,

439
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:27.039
but without the red hair and instead
of fars, it's Hades like excuse learning

440
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:32.839
some dumb backpack with the the H
A D E s all you know separated.

441
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.920
The jackets kind of look similar,
you know, the Zie the zombie

442
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:43.720
characters when you finally fight them,
they have a little bit of a different,

443
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:46.559
uh kind of premise to them than
the stuff and Resident Evil. But

444
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.880
so you're basic, you know,
it's it's zombies, So right, I

445
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:58.319
canna hit him in the head?
Uh. Similar inventory system, at least

446
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.240
from the part I played, it
doesn't. It feels more like it's gonna

447
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.759
be more like a Now. I
don't know if ninety eight was supposed to

448
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.519
be more like residuable two, and
maybe ninety four is supposed to be taking

449
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:12.360
more from residuable four. Like right
now, it doesn't feel like uh,

450
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.519
it doesn't feel like you're gonna run
out of weapons. Every time that I

451
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:22.440
needed to have a shotgun, I
found the shotgun. Uh ammo, the

452
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:29.000
machine gun. It feels like it
it doesn't serve much for a purpose to

453
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:36.920
be honest, it's a nuisance really. In those games, it's like the

454
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:40.119
shotgun just either kills him on one
hit or kills him in and two hits,

455
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.199
depending on where you hit him,
whereas the machine gun it's like I'm

456
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:49.159
blowing ten bullets and they're still coming
at me, you know. So I

457
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.400
was like, Okay, this is
kind of a waste of a weapon whatever,

458
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.519
you know, but I still have
I still enjoyed it. It's it's

459
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.800
still a lot of the premise of
those games. So I have a friend

460
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.119
that that she really likes those games. And obviously Randy as well, you

461
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.920
know, a friend of the show
was on the Spoiler cast. He as

462
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.039
a huge fan of those games as
well, so he was already kind of

463
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:14.960
talking to me about like it was
a game that he was kind of interested

464
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:16.559
in. So I was like,
oh, let me go play. Let

465
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:20.599
me you know, somebody offered a
code and I was like, sure,

466
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:24.280
let's let's check it out. So, yeah, the game comes out next

467
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:29.519
week. So next week Wednesday,
So by the time we do the show

468
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:32.119
again, it still won't be out, but it's coming out at the end

469
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:37.039
of the month. Not that we
don't have a bunch of different games to

470
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:43.119
play pretty soon, and especially the
everybody that's been enjoying Bather's Gate three on

471
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:50.000
PC is going to be playing not
only Walter's Gate three on your consoles,

472
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:54.159
but of course Starfield as well.
So we're gonna be blown out with games

473
00:35:54.719 --> 00:36:00.679
with RPGs pretty soon here. Yeah. So yeah, that's that's it for

474
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:05.199
me on games. I played a
little bit more of Fantasy Mode in Play

475
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:08.880
sixteen, Still enjoying that. Still
I think that it's the better way to

476
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:14.239
play. You want to give a
second run of it a try, but

477
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:17.199
at least it's more fun, more
and more challenge anyway. But still,

478
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:23.960
so I guess we should go ahead
before we get to the three sixty store

479
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:30.440
stuff. Did you see that that
Xbox? I don't know why I took

480
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:31.880
them this long to come out with
it. I'm not I don't know.

481
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:36.119
I think I need to find one
that's like for a game that I actually

482
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:40.119
want. Maybe then I will be
uh will perhaps think about it. But

483
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.800
did you see that they came out
with these raps that go around the series

484
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:52.440
x Yeah? Kin bad right.
The Starfield one looks just cool. The

485
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:55.719
Camvo ones looked like something I could
have bought it that. I don't know,

486
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:00.960
I gotta actually see it. But
from that picture, the camera ones

487
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:05.519
don't look decent I think interesting to
me. Yeah, it looks like they're

488
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:08.440
trying to copy like the PS five. It's the face plate stuff or you

489
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:12.760
know, yeah, exactly exactly,
but they didn't have that in mind to

490
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.559
build the system. So now it
just kind of looks like some weird yeah.

491
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:21.159
Like, yeah, it's like you
want to buy like a rapper to

492
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:24.320
go around your Series X. It's
not really even a cover. It's just

493
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.599
like a thing that you can put
around it. Oh and it costs like

494
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.039
fifty bucks if you buy the Starfield
one, like forty five if you buy

495
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:37.159
the the other ones, Like if
they ever, I don't know, I

496
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.920
have to be out with the Yeah, I would rather have this new console

497
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.840
or you know the special listing consoles
they occasionally do, you know they they

498
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.199
want for Diablo. I wasn't too
well sold on it. If they do

499
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:53.599
it well, well, but that's
the thing, like even even so many's

500
00:37:53.679 --> 00:38:00.239
not doing that right, they're doing
the face plate had a control are on

501
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.000
the face plate. That was it. Here's the thing though, at least

502
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:07.599
with that, I mean, you
could buy a new PS five with the

503
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.119
Spider Man two and crap like that, or you can just buy the thing

504
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:14.039
that makes it special and you know, do do it up yourself. Like

505
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.360
I would say that face plates or
you know, the console plates rather are

506
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:22.599
more at a better value than this
stupid, you know, candy rapper thing.

507
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:27.039
Yeah, it's just like when they
come out with more that are designed

508
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:31.400
around a game by the Starfield one, it'll look I think it'll look better,

509
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:37.599
but they still don't look uh you
know, it's kind of like the

510
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:45.039
same thing as the three sixty like
plates that you could put one. Yeah,

511
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:50.639
like it's just the thing it does. At least yeah, at least

512
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.119
those were on twenty bucks or you
know, cheaper if you want, you

513
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:57.280
know, if you wait right,
like whereas like the PS five ones kind

514
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.840
of they look cool, right,
it look like it could that could be

515
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:05.280
your system, right Whereas I'm looking
at a picture and I can tell if

516
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.000
that's a rap, Yeah, I
can tell that that's not part of the

517
00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:14.400
system. Yeah, and yeah,
it's like all those like weird custom consoles

518
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:17.039
you're ever digging around like Facebook Marketplace, Yeah, like, oh this is

519
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.719
a Pokemon Team game Boy Advanced sp
or you know stuff like that. It's

520
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:27.320
like, okay, yeah, I
mean they do promise a precision fit,

521
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:31.480
which it does look like it fits
around the console really well. It has

522
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:36.639
like a silicone stuff inside of it
to kind of to keep it on there,

523
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.519
So I don't know, I'd have
to actually like touch it to see

524
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.199
if the you know, the it
feels like it's a fifty dollars product or

525
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:51.800
whatever. But this is not going
to be for everybody, obviously. This

526
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.880
is for people that really want to
have that customization. For me, my

527
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:59.800
consoles are behind my TV, so
it makes no sense at all for me

528
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:06.199
to buy that because you're never gonna
see it anyway. But for people that

529
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:09.039
have them all out and have them
decked out and stuff like that and they

530
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:15.079
have the the cool like set up
for people to see them, I think

531
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:20.119
it's decent, you know whatever.
It's good to have customization stuff, not

532
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:27.960
bad mouthing, and it looks there's
better things. Yeah, but unfortunately there's

533
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:34.880
not anything that can really you can't
put a positive spin on an entire digital

534
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:39.480
store going down for a console,
and much like the WU and three DS

535
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:45.360
and the PS three PSPN Vita,
which Sony hasn't definitely put that off.

536
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:51.639
Or did they say that the ps
PS three still open or that's they reverse

537
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:54.599
at because right, the PS three
still open, But didn't they say that

538
00:40:54.639 --> 00:41:00.000
the one of the uh, either
the v or the PSPs eight I think

539
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.199
because you have to imagine that's the
older of the two. Right. So

540
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:09.440
now Microsoft has finally come out,
which it's weird because they're the ones that

541
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:15.840
always talk about backwards compability is great
and everything else, and they they are

542
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:20.840
always pushing that they that July twenty
nine, twenty twenty four, that's it.

543
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:27.480
You won't be able to buy anymore
games or DLC or digital game from

544
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:31.320
the three sixty store. Now this
is what eleven months away at this point.

545
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:36.679
Sort of yeah, you have plenty
of time if you want to go

546
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:43.119
search through the non backwards compatible.
This is the thing. It's non backwards

547
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:47.519
so this isn't like the PS three
where that stuff stream only on the console.

548
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.159
On the PS five and you can't
plan any PS four at all.

549
00:41:52.840 --> 00:42:02.760
The Xbox one, an Xbox series
does have backwards compatible original Xbox and three

550
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:07.000
sixty games, not all of them, and they also have a lot of

551
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:12.519
them that you can just buy digitally
on the store as well, so you're

552
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:16.800
not losing everything like you would like
he did for the U and the three

553
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:22.840
DS or the PS three. Everything
that's digital on that store you're losing.

554
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:28.280
So the thing you're losing is basically
the Xbox Live arcade stuff that's not backs

555
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:37.239
compatible or has not been re released. Yeah you're looking at yeah, and

556
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.760
it kind of it sucks, right, like you never want to. Video

557
00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:46.039
game preservation sucks. We know this. I don't know if they're ever there's

558
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:52.280
ever gonna be an initiative from everyone
to try to preserve that when you can

559
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:55.880
do remasters or remakes and make a
bunch of money. And that's part of

560
00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:59.719
the problem too. Yeah, sure
they're really going to do it. Do

561
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:04.960
it remaster of Deep Black episode one? Yeah, I'm sure than not.

562
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:10.880
But like, do you have any
memories of your of the three sixty?

563
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:15.559
Oh sure? I mean yeah,
even on this list or games that are

564
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:21.039
you know that are really good that
would be nice to have forward or you

565
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:23.079
know, keep forward, but like
a lot of the same. But a

566
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:28.400
lot of these games also you know, they're on other consoles or at least

567
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:34.199
on Steam, you know, like
Brothers or Bastion or Brothers is on.

568
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.280
I think the piece four xbox all
that stuff, okay, yeah, uh,

569
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:45.840
or like Gianna's Gianna Sisters Sisters Twisted
Dream, or like wipe the string.

570
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.039
I mean they got they got a
physical release. I guess, you

571
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:53.079
know. I mean there's a lot
of stuff that will be missed, but

572
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:58.800
I don't know, like how much
of this stuff are people really going to

573
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:01.440
get up in arms about? You
know, Yeah, it's no, I

574
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:06.800
get you. I think it's more
about the whole again, like preservation right

575
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:10.360
of just sucks that. Say you
had a game the Navy was on this

576
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:16.119
list, and therefore you either have
to keep it and you know you have

577
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:22.599
to keep it three sixty around,
right, or you know that you may

578
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:27.559
have a problem if it ever comes
off your system, which the three sixty

579
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.840
has a bad A lot of three
sixties have the problem of memory law.

580
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:36.000
And you'll if you'll turn it on
one time, at least I do.

581
00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:39.440
I don't know about other people,
but I have the three sixty like Elite,

582
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:45.719
though not the one that red ringed
or whatever. Yeah, and I

583
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:47.719
bought mine used. But I do
remember this being a problem. I do

584
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:53.039
remember being a problem of Uh,
you'll you'll turn your system on and then

585
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:59.440
it'll automatically be wiped. It'll work
great for like five months, and then

586
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:01.280
you can wait up the next day
want to use it, and then oh,

587
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:06.760
you have nothing, You have nothing
on there. So I mean I

588
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:09.039
haven't had my through sixty on in
a while, I mean literally years,

589
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.079
But I never had a problem with
that, and I had the old ID

590
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:16.880
the Elite also. Well I'm just
saying like it's an issue because it wasn't

591
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:22.920
just me. It seems to be
an issue with certain three sixty. I

592
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:27.519
guess the slight benefit of this thing, or like the not entirely doom and

593
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.679
Gloom yet is like, Okay,
you can't buy stuff, but if you

594
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:34.239
still you know, if it's still
tied to your account, you can redownload

595
00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:37.320
it. Like right, that was
that was a problem. I think when

596
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:38.840
Swan was trying to take off the
PS three one, they're like, no,

597
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:43.079
it's everything's going away, and people
were then when people were pissed,

598
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:47.079
no, I think they said the
thing was that they kind of put definitive

599
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:52.239
They put a definitive end to Oh. Eventually, just like kind of like

600
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:58.599
Nintendo with the WU, Yeah,
eventually you won't be able to download your

601
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.960
games. Eventually it will it to
the point where if you delete something,

602
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.920
you may not be able to get
it back. So that's where people got

603
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.840
mad because it's like, well but
I own this game, Like, how

604
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:16.360
are you telling me that? You
know, I don't know. People buy

605
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:20.719
digital movies and they get yanked off
their accounts when the rights to go away.

606
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:25.440
I mean you're right about that.
I mean the benefit. I mean,

607
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:30.760
the thing is is like it ain't
hard to have an Xbox three six

608
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.599
key anymore, and p S three
is even like way using so and there

609
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.679
are plenty of like you know,
file sharing sites or you know sites that

610
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:43.079
have you know, probably every x
Xbox Live Arcade game on it. So

611
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.000
go at it, Like, it
sucks that you want people to do this

612
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:50.840
officially, but piracy will find a
way, and if they don't want to

613
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:54.679
preserve it, other people will.
Yeah. No, I mean that's definitely

614
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:58.400
will. That's I mean. I
think it's like, I think it sucks

615
00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:00.840
that, like, at least for
the three sixty specifically, they never got

616
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:07.960
off that stupid hard hard drive h
uh. Form factor. I mean,

617
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:09.719
I can use like an external one, but I mean, like for that

618
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:15.000
internal thing, so they can only
have a certain drive of like I think

619
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.199
it's like two fifty gigabytes or maybe
three twenty that's it. And it's like,

620
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:23.039
yo, there are terabyte drives and
this enclosure you guys made is universal,

621
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:28.679
Like what the fuck? Yeah,
I had the one twenty one.

622
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:30.440
I had the one twenty one,
and then I up created it and I

623
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:35.599
busted that thing apart. Eventually I
did it, did the two fifty one.

624
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.079
But it's like, Okay, that's
cool, but that's still not a

625
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:43.719
ton of space. I mean right. Uh. For me, the three

626
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:51.079
sixty was my rock band machine.
Yeah, so I absolutely adored that thing.

627
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:55.039
It's like at the Xbox LIT,
the Xbox Series X or the well,

628
00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:59.280
yeah, all that stuff is on
the Series X. I'm not worried

629
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:04.119
about like not being there. I
mean, I'm just saying you're having about

630
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:07.280
memories and you know, yeah,
like for me, the three sixty is

631
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.000
is my college system. I will
always have fond memories of that system,

632
00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:16.079
you know, playing Halo. I
mean, it is the end of an

633
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:22.039
era. I never really didn't.
It's an end of that entire generation really

634
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:28.159
because it was the first they were
the first systems to have digital stores with

635
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:34.679
digital games that well not the first, but the first built in you know,

636
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:37.559
because x Xbox had that. But
weird, we're like, oh,

637
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:42.639
PSN, there's games that are only
on PSN. There's games that are only

638
00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:46.039
on Xbox Live. There's a games
that are only on the WU stop the

639
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:52.599
three DS shop, Like yeah,
that a whole generation that it's just gonna

640
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:57.400
be gone of games that unless you
go on your PC and try to find

641
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.239
them, emulate them or whatever,
that's it, you can't. You won't

642
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:04.360
be able to buy them in a
store. Right, So, I think

643
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:08.480
digital preservation is important, or game
preservation rather, but I wonder how important

644
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:13.159
it is to like, you know, people younger than us, Like you

645
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:16.599
have a how old your daughter's like
twelve or thirteen? Right, Like can

646
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:21.360
you imagine you know, here's Super
Mario Bro, there's three for the nes

647
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.400
go play it, or you know, here's here's Fond of Fantasy seven for

648
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:30.400
the PS one. You know,
good Luck, like I is different played

649
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:35.760
because you have remakes. That makes
people. I just mean like the original

650
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:38.639
ass PS one version or you know, like maybe you playing it digitally,

651
00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:43.719
but you know that version of that
game, or like you know, here's

652
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:51.440
Salent Hill one. I mean anything
anything like two generations before kids aren't gonna

653
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.199
care at all. I would say, even like one generation is kind of

654
00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:59.599
pushing it. But oh no,
but said I mean for for you could

655
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:01.960
say the same for movies as well, right, Like I mean there's a

656
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:07.679
movie. There is a big difference
between a ten year old movie and a

657
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.800
ten year old game. You know. Uh, like a good example a

658
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:14.920
is us like you can in and
around the same age you kind of grew

659
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:19.800
up around the NEAs Like how much
Atari twenty six hundred games have you played?

660
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:22.280
I'm betting, Yeah, I'm betting, like not a time. I

661
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:25.400
mean I had one. I had
a Tarry twenty six hundred. I couldn't

662
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:29.400
figure out how to hook it up
to a two A TV. But let's

663
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:32.000
see, Like for me, I
don't care about that stuff because most of

664
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:37.920
those games are just like not playable, like not they're not. Yeah,

665
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:42.840
but like I think a kid today
would say, what you know, what

666
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.320
is this? You know, legend
of Zelda linked to the patch ship place?

667
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:51.199
No, no, no, but
you cannot compare. You cannot compare.

668
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:55.480
Legend is linked to the past that
is completely playable, that is completely

669
00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:00.639
maybe not understandable to everybody, because
you know, Zelda's old though still,

670
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:04.760
but like you can look at those
graphics and you can appreciate that there's still

671
00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.480
games coming out that have those graphics. Who the hell is making games look

672
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:12.599
like the attargemation standard? Nobody,
because nobody wants games to look like that

673
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:15.480
at all. So, like,
I just I think it gets to a

674
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:21.639
certain point where like nobody people have
nostalgia for like the Arcade stuff, right

675
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:23.719
that that that whole streaming service that
I just reviewed like a couple of weeks

676
00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:29.400
ago, well a month ago or
whatever, at this point exists because people

677
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:34.599
have nostalgia for that. But I'm
just saying, like there is an age

678
00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:38.800
limit for that type of stuff,
and you know, under I would say

679
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:43.639
under twenty at the max, you
know, even twenty five. They're gonna

680
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:46.519
look at that and go like what, like I'm gonna go play Fortnite or

681
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:49.760
I'm gonna go play you know,
a Call of Duty year, you know,

682
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:52.239
whatever the new game is. You
know, like I think digital I

683
00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:57.159
think game consonation is super important,
but I think it's only important to like

684
00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:00.880
old fogies. You know. Well
yeah, but I mean we would have

685
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:05.039
said the same about we would have
said the same about We would say the

686
00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:09.079
same about music as well, right, Like everybody's used everything being digital only.

687
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:13.639
But like, I mean, there
was a report a few months ago

688
00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:16.800
by you know, the Video Game
Historical Foundation or you know, I think

689
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:21.400
they said like eighty seven percent of
games aren't available. That's what the same

690
00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:25.519
is music or movies. I mean
movies. It's fably like a little a

691
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:30.679
little better, but I mean not
music. There's no more record stores,

692
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:35.679
right, I mean, it's all
it's like all digital or well, and

693
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:42.320
then basically records are what's keeping uh
the physical music alives, like records coming

694
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:49.239
back and kind of being in vogue
again or ends. Yeah, like CDs,

695
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:53.199
Like as soon as everything went digital, people stopped buying CDs became like

696
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:57.360
why the hell am I gonna have
a I have a CD thing in my

697
00:52:57.519 --> 00:53:00.960
car that I have not touched.
I want to say, in like years,

698
00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:05.360
years years, it's there. I
have all the dis I have no

699
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:08.199
idea if they all work, because
who knows sun damage and whatever. But

700
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:13.880
it's funny you say that. I
literally bought two U CDs like last week.

701
00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:17.559
Wow. To be fair, it
was for a musician who just died,

702
00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:22.559
so I kind of felt I owed
it to him. Okay, I

703
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:29.079
guess that's allowable. Yeah, but
yeah, like unless it's like some really

704
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:31.880
like one off thing like yeah,
I'm not gonna buy a CD. I'm

705
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:37.320
not like n some more buy CD
every damn day or whatever. Yeah.

706
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:40.079
No, I don't know about buying
a CD every day. It's kind of

707
00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:45.440
crazy, but you know, it
sucks. But I kind of anticipated.

708
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:50.119
I thought they're just gonna kind of
leave it up forever, but because you

709
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:52.159
know, Sony was gonna shut theirs
down, but the outcry made them stop.

710
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:55.920
So I'm surries is like a bigger
outcry about this. But I think

711
00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:00.800
it's also because a lot of the
games that people care about are on the

712
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:07.599
x Xbox One or yeah. Well, I mean, like I said,

713
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:09.800
like a lot of these games were
also on Steam, but there are not

714
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:13.360
a game. You know, there
are a lot of games on this list

715
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:15.760
that if it wasn't on Steam,
I'd be kind of pissed, you know,

716
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:20.760
like losing like uh, you know, Super Street Feeder two, Turbo

717
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:28.239
Remix or you know, uh,
Trials Fusion or you know, Rocket Rocket

718
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:30.360
Ride stuff like that. Reza,
I know, they just kind of reput

719
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:36.119
that out, But so I can
understand that. I can understand. H

720
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:38.119
I mean, you can't get a
lot of this stuff elsewhere if you want

721
00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:43.920
to. But I just don't see
a ton of people playing or you know,

722
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:50.679
caring about see life Safari probably not
to be fair, probably not,

723
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:57.599
Like I guess if there is is
there's like something that you like on the

724
00:54:57.599 --> 00:55:02.679
list that you probably Dark Stalkers.
They did that collection that was pretty good.

725
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:07.840
Yeah, Dark Soccer's Resurrection. That's
not anywhere else. I'm pretty sure.

726
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:09.440
I think it's MPs three, but
that's about it. Like it never

727
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:15.079
came to Steam or uh, and
it's kind of like the Big the Big

728
00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:20.960
One I can think of that kind
of or like it's not listed here,

729
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:23.360
So I don't know if it's like, actually, is background compedible or not?

730
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:29.760
But that NBA jam when they re
put that out, that was kind

731
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:35.400
of cool. I think it is. I'm pretty sure I have it on

732
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:39.960
my Xbox. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, as I said,

733
00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:45.079
a lot of stuff and the thing
that if it wasn't on Under the Council

734
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:50.679
or really on Steam, it'd be
worrying more problematic. But you know,

735
00:55:51.679 --> 00:55:55.519
everything goes away in the end.
That's true. Everything isn't lost forever,

736
00:55:57.480 --> 00:56:02.719
so yeah, I I do remember
loving awesome Knots for a time. It's

737
00:56:02.719 --> 00:56:08.679
gonna be off of here. The
Yugo games that I don't know if those

738
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:15.239
are backwards compatible or not or not. I think everything on this list is

739
00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:21.039
not backwards so yeah, not there's
there are some things that are. They

740
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:25.480
didn't really make a distinction of what
is and what isn't, but some things

741
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:30.320
that that I guess you would have
to go find. It's more like a

742
00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:37.480
live arcade. Yeah, yeah,
there's there's gonna be some cool stuff that

743
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:44.039
gets lost time that people didn't people
didn't know about. You know, you're

744
00:56:44.079 --> 00:56:46.239
gonna find out about it years later, maybe go oh man, this was

745
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:52.400
cool and then uh yeah, we
can't play it unless you downloaded. What

746
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:57.000
all right? Uh? What are
your thoughts on the three sixty? What

747
00:56:57.079 --> 00:57:00.119
numberies do you have? What?
If are there any games you may miss?

748
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:07.440
Let us know in the comments there. I mentioned I hinted at it

749
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:13.800
before about Netflix because Russell Quest is
about to come out like literally within hours

750
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:20.920
of this being put out there this
podcast, and also I should mentioned before

751
00:57:21.639 --> 00:57:24.920
we go much further, I am
fully aware that the games come Opening Night

752
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:32.159
Live is happening the same night that
we're recording this. If Jeff Keeley said

753
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:37.239
that get Opening Night Live is going
to be more about the games that are

754
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:42.320
coming that we already know about.
It's not going to be about doing announcements

755
00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:46.039
and all that stuff. You know. That's more game Awards and Summer Game

756
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:52.400
Fest. So if there's anything like
crazy that we really really need to talk

757
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:57.800
about, or I mean, if
it's a pretty good show and it's not

758
00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:00.440
like gonna feel like, oh my
god, we're just complaining for two hours,

759
00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:07.679
we might just do another show and
have some have just like a reaction

760
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:12.320
to that on Wednesday morning or whatever
for you. So if you see an

761
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:16.000
extra show on the feed, that's
what happened. We recorded that too.

762
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:25.079
But moving on, Netflix has started
a beta for cloud gaming on your TV

763
00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:32.079
and on your PC. That's pretty
interesting to me. You'll be able to

764
00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:37.599
I don't know how this is gonna
work with I think three you have to

765
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:42.119
do something to hook up your phone. Forgot how this works, but basically

766
00:58:42.159 --> 00:58:45.079
a Netflix is doing what I exactly
said they needed to do the last time

767
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:52.480
we talked about this is get people
to play your game somewhere besides the phone.

768
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:58.360
I know the phone mobile gaming is
huge and people like to play games

769
00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:04.280
on their phone or whatever, but
I still think that in order to get

770
00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:08.480
the masses and whatever, you need
to go to other places, like and

771
00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:13.199
especially if it's all part of this
service, right, like make people feel

772
00:59:13.239 --> 00:59:15.280
like, oh, I can take
this game. I can start on my

773
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:20.280
phone, but oh now I can
want to play on my TV, okay,

774
00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:22.719
cool? Oh I want to play
on my laptop or I don't know

775
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:28.199
if it'll work with this team deck
eventually or whatever, then play it on

776
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:31.920
that or play it on your other
portable gaming device of choice. Maybe the

777
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:37.960
project que will be able to run
it. So yeah, Like basically you

778
00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:42.199
have to use your phone as a
controller if you use it on your TV,

779
00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:45.159
right, which that kind of sucks. But I don't know if they're

780
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:50.000
gonna come out with an Netflix controller
or they're resually gonna allow Bluetooth or whatever,

781
00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:52.960
because like some of these games,
you no like is gonna be a

782
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:57.920
simple ass game that But the thing
is, almost all the games that you

783
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:02.400
can play right now are released.
People. You don't have to jump around

784
01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:06.000
or run, you know, do
any of that stuff. You need to

785
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:07.480
control it for right now, but
eventually if you want, you know,

786
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:12.280
if you want to get that triple
A Netflix game that they're making, yeah,

787
01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:15.559
you gotta be able to add something
you can't do mouse and keyboard for

788
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:24.719
your laptop, PC whatever. Yeah, So that's cool for that, and

789
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:30.840
I think what helps them the most. And I wonder if Microsoft is gonna

790
01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:35.719
now obviously this has to get out
of beta and actually be big. If

791
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:38.760
this kind of hits like a wet
fart and no one cares, then it

792
01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:45.719
maybe does nothing with Microsoft. But
I think it it is interesting that Microsoft

793
01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:50.679
has had their thing for a long
time. They have way better games on

794
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:54.079
it, and all they can do
is managed to get a deal with Samsung,

795
01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:59.840
and I think they just got one
with LG not too long ago.

796
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:05.639
And and that's kind of it.
Whereas out of the box Netflix, I'm

797
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:07.559
gonna go to play this on my
smart TV on all any of the smart

798
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:13.679
TV side of my house because they're
all roku. Uh even even yeah Sonny

799
01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:16.760
doesn't want to put the Xbox app
on their on their TV. Well I'm

800
01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:22.440
not talking about like, I'm just
saying, uh, there's even even the

801
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:29.079
freaking Walmart store brand is gonna have
this thing. So like, I don't

802
01:01:29.119 --> 01:01:32.239
know if it's because Microsoft has to
run the cloud and it's more intensive,

803
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.480
the games are more intensive or whatever. I don't know what the tech is

804
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:43.320
involved in that, but I I
mean, mayn't be willing to pay.

805
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:46.239
Yeah, it could be that too, Right, Netflix has money to one,

806
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:52.280
uh make Netflix is like synonymous you
know with smart TV. I imagine

807
01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:55.360
you know if Microsoft went up to
like LG and said, hey, we

808
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:59.679
want to put this thing on your
TV, Like they'd be like why or

809
01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:01.920
you know, like if you do
pay us some money? Right, Like

810
01:02:02.199 --> 01:02:06.280
I agree with you, yes,
Like you're already using Netflix for something else,

811
01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:10.039
yeah, Right. Whereas game passes, we're trying to get people to

812
01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:14.679
not use the thing that they use
game pass on and use it on the

813
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:16.679
TV. And they're like, well, how do we know they're actually going

814
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:20.960
to do that? So we want
you to pay more money. Whereas Netflix,

815
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:27.360
you're already using Netflix, whether you're
paying the extra money for the subscription

816
01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:31.760
or whether you're you got a whole
new subscription for the people that I'm sorry,

817
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:39.360
Mark, I couldn't keep the thing, but you know, uh well

818
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:46.639
I had to because they were they
charged me for I didn't like two years

819
01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:52.880
at least two So yeah, but
you had your profile on there and everything.

820
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:57.599
I had to take it off because
I didn't want them to try to

821
01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:00.719
charge me again because I'm what you're
paying, you know, the extra eight

822
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:08.199
dollars or whatever to have other family
have it. Uh So now it's like

823
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:13.719
I don't want to get stuck paying
like forty dollars, right, that's that's

824
01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:17.559
ridiculous. So and now Disney is
gonna do the same thing, which I

825
01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:22.800
don't know how that's gonna work.
If it wasn't because of the bundle,

826
01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:30.000
I would seriously consider just everything but
ESPN for me. But I'm happy that

827
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:32.639
they announced today like some Disney Plus
shows are coming to like you know,

828
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:38.119
Blu Ray and four K like home
releases. That's good, Like I think

829
01:03:38.119 --> 01:03:44.119
it's a one division Loki and the
Mandalorian. It said, yes, I'll

830
01:03:44.119 --> 01:03:49.400
buy those. Yeah, still not
subscribe to your service. And well,

831
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:52.679
and I do appreciate that they kind
of like made them all kind of work

832
01:03:52.760 --> 01:03:55.280
together, Like if ESPN's not working
for me, you can go on Hulu

833
01:03:55.360 --> 01:04:00.800
and Wat's the same show, uh, you know, or also vice versa

834
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:03.960
with Disney Plus. It saw a
lot of the Disney Plus shows, I

835
01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:06.840
could go on who and watch it
on there or whatever, but it's like,

836
01:04:08.599 --> 01:04:13.679
Yo, you're gonna increase prices,
you're gonna keep removing content, You're

837
01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:19.079
gonna make less content for it,
and you're gonna Uh. There's still rumors

838
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:25.800
going around about whether or not,
you know, this stuff's gonna stay around

839
01:04:27.039 --> 01:04:31.239
for the long haul, and that
that worries me, Like, I don't

840
01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:35.599
know if we're gonna have consolidation in
the streaming space or we're just gonna have

841
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:43.239
a bunch of streamers die or why
not both, because like Peacocks seems to

842
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:45.719
be doing okay, but that's also
because they have w to b in sports.

843
01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:51.960
ESPN is gonna have its own channel
basically, and then you're gonna have

844
01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:58.480
Disney and Hulu, which Hulu is
basically the on demand machine, So I

845
01:04:58.519 --> 01:05:02.400
guess that can stick around or whatever. But Disney Plus is I don't know,

846
01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:08.199
Like the numbers that came out about
how much money they lose on Disney

847
01:05:08.239 --> 01:05:15.119
Plus is insane. It's a problem
of they only have basically Marvel and Star

848
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:18.639
Wars. The Marvel stuff is more
or less a burning trash sheep at the

849
01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:23.159
moment. These Star Wars stuff isn't
much better. I mean it's it's more

850
01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:26.960
positive, but they don't have a
Star Wars show every month or you know,

851
01:05:27.000 --> 01:05:29.960
it's not like a constant. Yeah, they have the soccer a Soca

852
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:32.679
show that's coming and that's it.
Like they don't have I mean, I

853
01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:35.800
don't think man Worrying season four is
happening anytime soon, especially with the strike,

854
01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:41.199
well especially not now that they seem
to be just don't want to make

855
01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:45.719
anything high profile or the streaming service
at all now. Yeah, are they

856
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:48.440
just gonna make more movies or are
they just gonna I don't know what they're

857
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:53.880
gonna do. They're gonna try to
put it on TV, like h even

858
01:05:54.039 --> 01:06:00.360
TV itself is going down a bit
as well. So yeah, that's I

859
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:04.880
think that's more because people just people
just everything's on demand. People don't watch

860
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:10.079
things live anymore unless it's sports.
I mean, I think it's also people

861
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:13.360
are just you know, feeling burned
out, yeah, from the pandemic.

862
01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:16.880
Like people are let's go out,
let's do stuff, you know. Let's

863
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:23.760
so I mean me, you know, I went to the beach twice and

864
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:30.760
the time that we've done the episode
last so you know, and I've gone

865
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:34.559
to do other stuff. So it's
just like I I well, part of

866
01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:39.960
that's also because I'm in my house
all the time working, so I feel

867
01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:45.360
this need to like, let's do
something. But yeah, so you know

868
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:51.119
that that's the thing. It's just
it's it's something that I think. You

869
01:06:51.159 --> 01:06:56.280
know, I got a funny one
out. The CEO Disney was like,

870
01:06:56.280 --> 01:06:59.360
oh, we hurt the Marvel brand. I'm making all the TV shows.

871
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:01.320
It like, no, you hear
the Marvel brand when you made all the

872
01:07:01.360 --> 01:07:08.159
bad TV shows like yeah, looky, looky and uh wand Division were good

873
01:07:08.760 --> 01:07:13.559
and even that Captain Miss Marvel show
wasn't It wasn't like bad. I guess

874
01:07:13.599 --> 01:07:15.039
I didn't watch it. I know
you did instead of liked it. But

875
01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:23.679
like you know, Moon Night,
uh, Secret Invasion, especially Falcon and

876
01:07:23.719 --> 01:07:30.559
Winter so Soldier or she Hulk again
especially they don't elevate the brand or they

877
01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:33.559
don't elevate that service. Yeah,
she Hook doesn't elevate the service. I

878
01:07:33.559 --> 01:07:38.559
don't think it was. I didn't
hate it or whatever, but just like

879
01:07:38.920 --> 01:07:43.280
it did, you know, And
I don't blame them if they do.

880
01:07:43.800 --> 01:07:47.199
Yeah fine, uh yeah, that's
kind of one of those like polarizing things.

881
01:07:48.719 --> 01:07:51.719
That's mean. I dislike it greatly, but not because of like the

882
01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:58.320
usual dumb install reasons of oh it's
a female superhero or email that super crap,

883
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:00.559
like no, it's just kind of
a bad show, Like yeah,

884
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:03.480
I don't care if it's a male
or female, you know, on the

885
01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:12.039
role right, well, you know, it's speaking of things that are expanding,

886
01:08:12.119 --> 01:08:18.520
like cloud gaming too. One Naiokiyoshia
that wishes that gaming consoles actually retracted

887
01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:24.760
and there was only one. I'm
sorry, mister Ashida, but that's probably

888
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:29.319
never gonna happen. Gonna just tell
Microsoft to quit, quit trying, and

889
01:08:29.399 --> 01:08:32.680
you can only get it down to
two and then they all set. Yeah,

890
01:08:32.720 --> 01:08:36.399
I definitely don't think Nintendo will stop
making consoles, especially the way that

891
01:08:36.439 --> 01:08:44.359
they sell. So Microsoft could eventually
at one point like game baskets big enough

892
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:47.479
and the other stuff takes off where
you can just play it on your TV

893
01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:51.000
and you don't have to have the
console. Right, But what do you

894
01:08:51.079 --> 01:08:56.279
think about Like I kind of understand
him in a way, right, like,

895
01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:00.680
okay for developers, and I would
be nice if you only had to

896
01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:03.119
make things on one console and you
wouldn't have to have this console, wor

897
01:09:03.279 --> 01:09:09.640
bs all that stuff. But that's
called the PC, right, But do

898
01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:13.680
you think we could ever get to
that point where it's back to the eighties

899
01:09:13.880 --> 01:09:18.199
with Nintendo is the only home console
and matters. It's too big, it's

900
01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:23.479
too big of a business. Yeah, that's exactly for me. It's like

901
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:28.199
especially business only been getting bigger Sony. You know, the psive is like

902
01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:30.960
helping prop up Sony. So you're
damn sure now they're gonna make a PS

903
01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:35.720
six Yeah, definitely for sure on
that. I mean they're making that places

904
01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:40.920
in Q which rumors are they listen, they listen. Rumors are that it

905
01:09:40.960 --> 01:09:44.279
could be two hundred dollars. I
still think it's a little bit too prosy,

906
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:47.199
But it depends what it can do
if you know, if it isn't

907
01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:50.479
if it really is only a streaming
thing, Yeah, it's too much.

908
01:09:50.640 --> 01:09:55.199
If it's a streaming thing and hey
can run some Android shit, you know,

909
01:09:55.319 --> 01:09:59.880
that's that'd be fine. Yeah.
I'm still on the fence about like

910
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:02.600
whether or not I really you don't
have to get it, you know,

911
01:10:02.840 --> 01:10:08.760
like you don't leave the house nowadays, or you know, like yeah,

912
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:14.000
I know that fine. Definitely not
especially I'm in the room where the conflict

913
01:10:14.079 --> 01:10:18.159
all the time. Yeah, but
yeah, at least they listened and they're

914
01:10:18.159 --> 01:10:21.000
not trying to out, you know, put the Sony price on it.

915
01:10:21.399 --> 01:10:26.079
Did you see the video? It
looks pretty fake to me about the like

916
01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:30.920
the PS five Mini or like the
the Slim. There's some guy like waving

917
01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:33.640
around some bullshit thing and it's like, yo, that does not look slim

918
01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:40.279
at all, Like it looks like
ten percent smaller. That's not a ton.

919
01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:42.640
Well, but I mean, look
how big that system is, Like,

920
01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:45.600
do you really think they could have
made it a true PS five Slim?

921
01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:50.439
You know, never that they've got
to make stop stop trying to do

922
01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:54.199
it in the first place, you
know. I mean they have shrunk the

923
01:10:54.239 --> 01:10:59.000
board down quite a bit. I
think they could technically h if they like

924
01:10:59.079 --> 01:11:02.399
really want to rearrange change like the
internals of the system and that thing with

925
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:06.680
the did have a detachable drive you
know, blue ray dry or whatever.

926
01:11:08.159 --> 01:11:12.199
But that thing is still I would
say, uglier than the PS five.

927
01:11:12.800 --> 01:11:16.399
And it's like holy hell, like, yeah, no, I agree with

928
01:11:16.439 --> 01:11:20.840
you. I don't. Hey,
somebody internally told them, hey, we

929
01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:27.079
put out PS five Slim, somebody
will buy this yeah, but no,

930
01:11:27.279 --> 01:11:31.880
mister Yoshida, I understand you.
I understand your plight, but as far

931
01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:35.399
as like including the players and that
it's not good for the play only have

932
01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:41.399
one console, they need to have
choice, whether whether it is to just

933
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:47.039
make fun. Well, you know
this guy's working for Square, isn't he.

934
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:50.439
Well, yeah, he's he's the
he's the guy that may find sixteen.

935
01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:55.960
Okay, well, once once Sony
finally buys Square and they like,

936
01:11:56.039 --> 01:11:58.720
okay, well we can only make
console games for this one console now,

937
01:11:58.760 --> 01:12:04.439
so here we go, right he
kind of yeah, he. I think

938
01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:09.399
that's part of it too, right. It's also it's the thing of we

939
01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:14.199
only made it for one console and
it kind of backfired on us. And

940
01:12:14.279 --> 01:12:16.439
I wish we only had one console
so that everybody would have to buy it

941
01:12:16.479 --> 01:12:19.640
on there all right, everybody would
have to own that console. Sorry,

942
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:23.960
and you wouldn't have to worry about
oh, well, all these people own

943
01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:27.960
an Xbox, all the people own
a Nintendo, everybody owns the PlayStation.

944
01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:32.800
So you know, but I think
that's true decision to be fair to him,

945
01:12:32.880 --> 01:12:36.199
Like in the land of Japan,
everyone does on a PlayStation, so

946
01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:44.239
and they aren't concerned about putting even
if you know, there's a big outcry,

947
01:12:44.279 --> 01:12:48.039
they're not concerned to putting sixteen on
the on the switch because it's not

948
01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:53.520
even possible. So it's not like, oh, we also gotta make the

949
01:12:54.079 --> 01:12:58.319
sixteen in the Xbox even if there
wasn't that like let you know that the

950
01:12:59.199 --> 01:13:03.680
you know, the the contract or
whatever for CONTs exclusivity because there's just no

951
01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:09.119
demand for it in Japan at all. Yeah, and that's like kind thanks

952
01:13:09.159 --> 01:13:11.880
you thirteen when Micros are just paid
him a bunch of money, be like,

953
01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:15.520
please bring it over. It's like, okay, but here's the ship

954
01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:20.920
version of it. Enjoy right,
I mean, I I guess I don't

955
01:13:20.920 --> 01:13:26.399
think they'll they'll ever just be like
one console unless it's Sunny the Nintendo,

956
01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:31.119
Sony, Microsoft Dreamcast two or you
know. Yeah, I don't think we're

957
01:13:31.119 --> 01:13:35.319
gonna get to that again, right, or if we ever did, like

958
01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:40.840
it has gone so far sideways,
it's like what happened. The only yeah,

959
01:13:40.880 --> 01:13:45.119
the only way is if some reason, uh, Sony and Nintendo do

960
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:50.439
the combine again, uh, and
it actually goes through this time and not

961
01:13:50.479 --> 01:13:55.640
like before. I think if that
happened like the next day, Microsoft would

962
01:13:55.640 --> 01:13:58.560
just be like, Okay, we're
done as a hardware company. We're just

963
01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:00.840
gonna put out games and we'll put
them on on the on the on the

964
01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:06.319
whatever, PlayStation six and no,
that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm

965
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:12.840
saying. Like they. I think
if Sony Nintendo ever decided that they were

966
01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:17.079
just going to join forces to have
one Japanese console, I think Microsoft would

967
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:21.199
just say, oh, oh you
know what, would just we're done actually

968
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:26.560
producing consoles. It will all be
through the app. It'll all be about

969
01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:30.880
game Pass and that's it, you
know, Yeah, and then we would

970
01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:42.439
have one console. But right,
uh that that would be funny if we

971
01:14:42.840 --> 01:14:45.920
did see that talk about like Cold
Day and hill Kin in a moment,

972
01:14:45.039 --> 01:14:54.199
right uh. So that being said, going from the improbable to things we

973
01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:58.960
now know that are happening. That
Island Wake two has been delayed ten days

974
01:14:59.640 --> 01:15:04.840
because they were actually honest and said
there's too many games coming out in October

975
01:15:04.880 --> 01:15:12.000
and they don't want to basically become
fodder for these other games, which I

976
01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:15.279
don't blame them, you have they
tend to think at you on the six

977
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:19.520
yea fours and Water Sport on the
tenth. Super Mario Brothers Wonder and Spider

978
01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:25.359
Man two come out three days before
or three days after what Alan Wake two

979
01:15:25.399 --> 01:15:29.359
would have come out originally, and
then you also got the Medical Solid Collection

980
01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:33.159
as well after that, so like
at least that week after Mario and Marl

981
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:35.760
and Spider Man, even though I'm
sure those games will still be taught about

982
01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:40.119
by them, you get like a
little bit of a fresh window. Sure,

983
01:15:40.239 --> 01:15:43.840
But I guess the only game I
could see like in the same ven

984
01:15:44.000 --> 01:15:46.640
diagram as Alan Wake two. It's
like Spider Man because it's like a third

985
01:15:46.640 --> 01:15:49.720
person. But that's the thing.
It's not about ben diagram. It's about

986
01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:55.960
not having any breathings. Yeah,
but I mean to me, like Alan

987
01:15:56.000 --> 01:15:59.960
Wake would be like a good Halloween
game, And I know this is technic

988
01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:02.079
coming out like, you know,
three days or four days before Halloween,

989
01:16:02.359 --> 01:16:08.119
but I'm not sure if that's quite
enough time. But you know, it's

990
01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:11.880
not them like it's ten days.
It's not a huge deal. And like

991
01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:14.640
you said, lest you know,
points are being honest and not going,

992
01:16:14.840 --> 01:16:18.279
oh we need additional time to polish
it up or you know whatever bullshit that.

993
01:16:19.000 --> 01:16:24.319
Yeah, I totally appreciate that it's
literally just ten days because they wanted

994
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:28.880
to move away from all these other
games like I love that. Thank you

995
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:33.399
everybody for being honest on that one. I really do hope this game is

996
01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:39.720
great. I'm excited for Allen Wig
Two's yes, and hey, better for

997
01:16:39.760 --> 01:16:43.920
me because I'm sitting here wondering,
am I gonna buy both Mario Wonder and

998
01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:49.319
Spiderman two or not? So well, not Mario Wonder anymore? Why the

999
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:55.119
big the big story that happened today? Well, I mean Martin, Yeah,

1000
01:16:55.399 --> 01:16:59.479
it's gonna get to that. Yeah, that was my leading. Yes,

1001
01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:04.359
yes, so Charles Martin. Ay, everybody kept talking about Charles Martine

1002
01:17:04.560 --> 01:17:08.319
is not being voiced. You know, he's not voicing Mario in the movies.

1003
01:17:08.800 --> 01:17:15.680
Well he's not gonna be voicing Mario
in the games. Yeah, yeah,

1004
01:17:15.720 --> 01:17:17.119
it could be fair to him.
I mean, who knows that this

1005
01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:21.800
is actually like him wanting to step
down or if it's Nintendo, but you

1006
01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:26.520
know, due to sixty seven,
I have to imagine that voice is like

1007
01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:30.920
hard on him physically. So if
it is him wanting to step down,

1008
01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:34.880
yeah that's good. If it's not
him, that's kind of a bummer.

1009
01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:41.479
But they're still paying him, so
you're still gonna make out. I think

1010
01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:45.159
also, like Nintendo looks set up
and says, do we want him like

1011
01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:49.039
dying as the voice of Mario,
like you know what's happening with with Mickey

1012
01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:55.640
and some other characters, And it's
like, now you have to go abruptly

1013
01:17:55.840 --> 01:18:00.000
into somebody else playing the same voice, whereas let's give people time to get

1014
01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:03.079
used to whatever this new voice of
Mario is going to sound. Like,

1015
01:18:03.640 --> 01:18:09.239
Yeah, it's interesting to note that
he's not doing it for Wonder so they've

1016
01:18:09.279 --> 01:18:14.399
already taken him off this this game. We will we will get whatever Wahoo

1017
01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:18.760
and whatever thing Mario says done by
somebody else. Maybe Chris Pratt's doing it

1018
01:18:18.800 --> 01:18:27.399
and what he's saying, no,
maybe yeah, the voice of Sonic,

1019
01:18:27.760 --> 01:18:33.000
I know, I know, yeah, it would be interesting total old console

1020
01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:36.720
war v us there. But man, think about it though, for the

1021
01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:42.520
entire life of the character, basically
twenty five years, he's been Mario and

1022
01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:46.800
Mario ambassadors. Mario started talking in
ninety six. I mean that's when they

1023
01:18:47.039 --> 01:18:51.199
got him on there so well,
I mean technically Yoki's Island, but that

1024
01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:58.279
wasn't a thinking Mario. That's baby
Mario. Fuck that. I agreed,

1025
01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:00.920
Yeah, it's you know good end
of an era. I mean if it,

1026
01:19:01.039 --> 01:19:04.279
like I said, if if it's
his decision, that's good. If

1027
01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:10.520
it's not his decision, that's less
good. But you know, we'll see.

1028
01:19:11.680 --> 01:19:15.319
Yeah, hopefully it's mutual and not. But like you said, age

1029
01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:18.479
is a factor. Yeah, I
mean, I mean at a certain point

1030
01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:25.760
some people. I mean there's been
talk for years about, Oh, Harry

1031
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:30.600
Sheer on The Simpsons, like wind
get stepped down because he's I think he's

1032
01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:33.319
almost I think he's eighty and that's
a long time to be voicing that character.

1033
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:36.920
Yeah, yeah, he seventy nine, right, I don't I don't

1034
01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:41.000
know if you like watch if you've
ever seen like a current air of Simpsons

1035
01:19:41.039 --> 01:19:45.840
episode, but Julie Kavner cannot do
it anymore as a voice of Marge.

1036
01:19:45.319 --> 01:19:49.439
No, I haven't watched The Simpsons
I think in like three years or something

1037
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:54.840
like that. Yeah, they I
saw some music offisode they did recently.

1038
01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:59.960
It's like, please please make or
stop doing this, Like I feel bad

1039
01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:03.560
for like she can't she can't do
it. I mean, you know,

1040
01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:06.399
I give her all the give her
all the props for doing it for thirty

1041
01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:14.600
years, but she's seventy two.
Please stop right, Ah, So yeah,

1042
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:17.319
I mean there's I can't think of
like, uh, another character that's

1043
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:21.000
or another actor who's been doing a
character for like that long. Yeah,

1044
01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:26.960
well the trio right a Goofy and
Doentleman. Yeah, but they're not like

1045
01:20:27.640 --> 01:20:30.000
they don't come out with a new
Kingdom or you know, a new Kingdom

1046
01:20:30.039 --> 01:20:34.159
Hearts game every two years or a
new you know, Disney game often enough.

1047
01:20:34.640 --> 01:20:39.319
But right, I mean I think
like the same woman who's been doing

1048
01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:46.560
many amounts forever, yes, twenty
nineteen. I mean, it's so amazing

1049
01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:49.680
though that those they were able to
do those characters for that long. And

1050
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:55.239
yeah, perhaps to Charles Marney that
you're still will be the voice of Mario

1051
01:20:55.439 --> 01:21:00.439
the girls of Whether and honestly like
his Mario is good, but they like

1052
01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:04.239
a better. He's actually like a
pretty good voice actor when he's not doing

1053
01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:08.680
Mario. So like, I'm more
interested to see what he does next,

1054
01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:12.800
or you know, he's gonna he's
done some other stuff on occasion, so

1055
01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:15.720
yeah, they're gonna let him do
other things or is he just gonna be

1056
01:21:15.800 --> 01:21:19.079
stuck inside Nintendo be well, like
he did, he was like one of

1057
01:21:19.119 --> 01:21:24.039
the bad guys in that new Dragonball
Super Movie. Oh that's that's right.

1058
01:21:24.119 --> 01:21:27.039
Yes, you're right. So,
like I was pretty impressed he did that

1059
01:21:27.079 --> 01:21:30.720
because he dad does not sound like
him or it's not like who we not

1060
01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:32.439
all over the place or anything.
So yeah, if he did, if

1061
01:21:32.439 --> 01:21:35.840
he did more stuff like that,
like cool, like he wants to like

1062
01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:42.039
expand his you know, horizon or
whatever, like cool, go for it.

1063
01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:47.199
Yeah for sure, hopefully that is
what inspires and to yeah, go

1064
01:21:47.359 --> 01:21:55.239
forward there. Yes, uh well, I'm staying on the intendal track here.

1065
01:21:56.119 --> 01:22:00.800
If there's ever somebody ever a game
that needs to take a cue from

1066
01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:05.560
Charles Martinet and take a break,
it's Pokemon. At least in my view,

1067
01:22:06.359 --> 01:22:14.039
I would love for this supposed conversations
about release cadence to actually be happening

1068
01:22:14.600 --> 01:22:21.960
and actually be put into thoughts and
actually occur if there is a game series

1069
01:22:23.039 --> 01:22:28.960
right now that needs a break and
time to cook. You know, the

1070
01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:31.800
whole saying of let them cook,
Yes, let let game freak and whoever

1071
01:22:31.840 --> 01:22:38.880
else is gonna work on this game
cook and do something and give them time

1072
01:22:39.840 --> 01:22:44.119
to work with the switch to or
whatever the heck is going to be the

1073
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:49.359
next thing, so that they're not
constantly coming out with a game and you

1074
01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:54.880
get another Scarlet and Violet. Every
short to shield had issues. You already

1075
01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:58.800
have the DLC coming out this month, the other tech to Pikachu, which

1076
01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:01.960
I know that's a different uh studio
and all that stuff. But do you

1077
01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:04.560
agree with me or do you think
that they should just do the call of

1078
01:23:04.600 --> 01:23:08.399
duty thing and just be like,
Okay, we have like three studios working

1079
01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:12.880
on Pokemon. I mean, I
guess a question would be, see,

1080
01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:16.720
I don't know Pokemon really at all, Like how often would you want a

1081
01:23:16.760 --> 01:23:19.880
new game to come out? I
think it just depends, like what we're

1082
01:23:19.960 --> 01:23:25.079
like a main game. I would
be fine if it's skipsy here. I

1083
01:23:25.159 --> 01:23:28.119
think fine if we get a main
game like two years. So okay,

1084
01:23:28.239 --> 01:23:30.399
let's say two years for like you
know, Pokemon, Like let's just say

1085
01:23:30.399 --> 01:23:35.800
red and Blue as in the example, wasn't that arkis game like pretty different?

1086
01:23:36.479 --> 01:23:40.880
Well? Yes, like, okay, I'm fine if they're gonna do

1087
01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:45.399
spinoffs, but whole another company work
on them, Like you know the Pokemon

1088
01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:49.520
Brilliant Diamond and Pearl whatever was done
by Ilka, which is the same people

1089
01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:54.600
that did uh you know what presodas
and all that stuff. Like that's that's

1090
01:23:54.640 --> 01:23:58.199
fine. If you're gonna have a
whole different company that's not Game Freak working

1091
01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:01.119
on the game, then that's that. I'm good with that. But I

1092
01:24:01.159 --> 01:24:08.840
don't need Game Freak working on RCS
Scarlet and Violet, the next thing that's

1093
01:24:08.880 --> 01:24:14.479
coming out already, the DLC,
Like Yo, give them a break,

1094
01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:17.680
let them pause, Like I know
that you have some of that studio working

1095
01:24:17.720 --> 01:24:21.600
on some other games that they announced
projects for whatever, but it's like that

1096
01:24:23.119 --> 01:24:29.840
series has too many games coming out
all the time, Like you know,

1097
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:33.600
cool if you want to come out
with some And they have the games that

1098
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:42.399
continue to exist like Unite and now
they have the Pokemon Sleep thing at the

1099
01:24:42.479 --> 01:24:50.319
cafe thing, Pokemon Masters, the
trading card game that they in that direct

1100
01:24:50.359 --> 01:24:54.920
that they just had not so long
ago. They announced the stuff for that,

1101
01:24:55.199 --> 01:24:59.239
Like Yo, you have a lot
of Pokemon stuff happening. You have

1102
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:02.880
the attemptive Get You Too movie,
you have the anime that just started fresh

1103
01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:09.039
again, Like yo, I don't
know a point people towards that. I

1104
01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:13.560
just I would really love if they
take a moment like you be Soft did

1105
01:25:13.560 --> 01:25:16.359
with Assassins Creed. Now they're going
backwards, but I would love for them

1106
01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:21.399
to say, Yo, let's take
now again. The problem is that Nintendo

1107
01:25:21.479 --> 01:25:25.279
doesn't isn't the only ones that I
have a say in this, right,

1108
01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:29.800
Pokemon Company also has to say,
uh, you know, game forget self

1109
01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:33.479
and whatever. They all have to
kind of come to a conclusion that this

1110
01:25:33.560 --> 01:25:40.319
is what's best. But yeah,
I hope that that's I think they're I

1111
01:25:40.359 --> 01:25:44.279
think Nintendo's response, or you know, everyone's response would be, yo,

1112
01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:49.640
this is the third most valuable video
game franchise in the world. Fuck taking

1113
01:25:49.640 --> 01:25:56.319
a break, you know, like, okay, but like that's it's it's

1114
01:25:56.359 --> 01:26:00.479
more, it's more profitable than Call
of Duty and TTA. They will never

1115
01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:05.119
take a break. And I'm not
saying they shouldn't, like I I fully

1116
01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:12.439
agree with you like, but no, unfortunately, I mean it's kind of

1117
01:26:12.479 --> 01:26:15.800
like that you like the it's the
same type of what, you know,

1118
01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:19.520
the burnout that you's got from the
WWE game. And I do feel like

1119
01:26:19.600 --> 01:26:24.880
game Freak is getting into that.
That's why they make other games so that

1120
01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:29.640
they don't. Wasn't there some story
recently about how game Freak is like horrible

1121
01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:32.840
to work at. I like,
ye, I think it was like some

1122
01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:38.800
death it was like Japanese glass door
or something. They were some like employees

1123
01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:45.399
were pitching about how it's like not
compared even compared like other Japanese developers.

1124
01:26:45.439 --> 01:26:50.399
It's like incredibly demoralizing. It like
yeah, uh hard to hard to stay

1125
01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:56.600
at and it's like, yo,
it's the Japanese people are saying this,

1126
01:26:56.760 --> 01:27:01.600
you might got a problem because they
are more used to the shit then Americans

1127
01:27:01.640 --> 01:27:05.800
would be. Yeah, that is
an issue. That is definitely an issue

1128
01:27:06.680 --> 01:27:14.159
if you are having the Japanese folks
saying that, yeah, but yeah,

1129
01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:16.800
I wouldn't be surprised. Also if
they just take the college of the approach

1130
01:27:16.920 --> 01:27:21.600
and just say, oh, we're
just gonna have different teams work on yeah,

1131
01:27:21.800 --> 01:27:25.159
or you know, take the like
that. I mean Force. They

1132
01:27:25.159 --> 01:27:30.039
did the same thing kind of with
Turn ten and Playground. Yeah there the

1133
01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:33.880
Horizon team give their name, but
like Playground. Yeah, that's what I'm

1134
01:27:33.880 --> 01:27:36.720
saying. It's like, yeah,
I have I would say, have a

1135
01:27:36.800 --> 01:27:42.560
mainline Pokemon or two Pokemon games every
year because I always do like the dual

1136
01:27:42.840 --> 01:27:46.640
system, because they still think that's
worth worthwhile and it's not. Ah,

1137
01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:53.880
and then have like Archias two or
some vastly different or not vastly but some

1138
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:59.720
different enough thing, you know as
this the other game, right, yeah,

1139
01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:03.720
it's I mean that's also what's important
having but I didn't like RKS and

1140
01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:10.800
Pokemon games come like last here within
like yes, nine months or right.

1141
01:28:10.840 --> 01:28:13.439
Yeah, one came out in January. The one came out in like November.

1142
01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:17.399
Yeah, and our cis actually ran
really well. And then Poke One

1143
01:28:17.439 --> 01:28:23.920
Violet, which obviously is a more
expansive game and everything the actually dog turd.

1144
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:29.079
So that's part of it too,
is they saw they saw the they

1145
01:28:29.079 --> 01:28:33.239
saw the memes, right, they're
not stupid, they saw the the stuff,

1146
01:28:33.399 --> 01:28:40.119
right yeah. So yeah, for
me, I just really hope they

1147
01:28:40.159 --> 01:28:44.800
do. So just tying these two
things together because they're both kind of short,

1148
01:28:44.880 --> 01:28:50.039
and they're both about games, like
releasing Lack of Dragon guidn the man

1149
01:28:50.079 --> 01:28:54.640
who raised his name, the one
that had this the story back cure you

1150
01:28:55.000 --> 01:28:59.319
while you know Lack of Dragon was
happening. It's going to have a demo

1151
01:28:59.600 --> 01:29:04.439
for Lack of Dragon Infinite Wealth aka
like a Dragon eight. And then also

1152
01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:09.319
DC Universal on Line is going to
becoming a PS five and three the series

1153
01:29:09.800 --> 01:29:15.239
consoles. I saw your notes on
this, but like a dragon thing and

1154
01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:20.039
I was blowing away when they said, like, h what is it about

1155
01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:24.039
how it's like a good a good
way to get into kire you story,

1156
01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:30.680
I'll provide the best insight into the
personality of kru It's yeah, are you

1157
01:29:30.720 --> 01:29:35.640
guys high? Like are you talking
about like that he had? He is

1158
01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:42.239
the as a singular character, I
think k You is like number one as

1159
01:29:42.279 --> 01:29:46.800
far as long writing characters. Yeah, like you can't and you can't encapsulate

1160
01:29:46.880 --> 01:29:54.560
a guy who's been in eight other
Acusa games as the main character and Ben

1161
01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:58.199
in well nine. I guess if
you want to count like like like a

1162
01:29:58.279 --> 01:30:02.760
dragon. I think what there's trying
to say is this is perhaps like the

1163
01:30:02.800 --> 01:30:06.199
best version of cure You. Maybe
it's what they're trying to say, like

1164
01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:12.039
not that you're gonna understand Kuri You. Yeah, if you only play this

1165
01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:15.199
game, I think it's more of
like if you play the other games,

1166
01:30:15.199 --> 01:30:16.560
I think you're really going to appreciate
the cur you that you're gonna get in

1167
01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:19.600
the game. I just made me
think of like when I was trying to

1168
01:30:19.640 --> 01:30:23.920
say, like, well, mass
Effect three, is that that's is a

1169
01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:30.720
good jumping on point into the franchise. It's huh right, Really, I

1170
01:30:30.760 --> 01:30:34.840
guess no, because it's the third
game in a trilogy, you know,

1171
01:30:35.119 --> 01:30:41.239
like, uh, I don't know. It's also weird that DC Universe Online

1172
01:30:41.319 --> 01:30:46.479
is coming to current consoles. Uh
right, hey, how I question how

1173
01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:51.199
profitable or how popular game still is
because it's yeah, twelve years old,

1174
01:30:51.880 --> 01:30:59.199
that's old. I mean yes,
and I mean mlways do last a while,

1175
01:30:59.399 --> 01:31:04.560
but it's not like DC is in
the current healthiest spot anymore. And

1176
01:31:05.279 --> 01:31:09.600
like you don't see Final Fantasy eleven
coming to you know, PS five.

1177
01:31:09.720 --> 01:31:12.479
It'd be funny if it did,
but you don't see it happening at the

1178
01:31:12.479 --> 01:31:16.640
moment. It's crazy that they still
are supporting that, like they are not

1179
01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:25.039
it's not getting the big to do
like fourteen is right, but they're they

1180
01:31:25.119 --> 01:31:29.039
still support that thing. Yeah.
I think it's still that was like well

1181
01:31:29.239 --> 01:31:33.000
enough for them where they can make
small content, but it's not like,

1182
01:31:33.039 --> 01:31:42.359
oh we got uh who's the Final
Fantasy composer. Yeah, it's not like

1183
01:31:42.399 --> 01:31:45.319
he's he created a whole new suite
of Final Fantasy eleven music or you know,

1184
01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:50.600
you're this big CGI movie about Final
Fantasy eleven. You know the story

1185
01:31:50.640 --> 01:31:55.319
of that and stuff like that.
You know, like it's it's I don't

1186
01:31:55.359 --> 01:32:00.920
think it's in like just uh passive
or you know, routine mode yet,

1187
01:32:01.199 --> 01:32:08.680
but it's probably pretty close compared to
Final Fantasy fourteen at will yes exactly.

1188
01:32:08.880 --> 01:32:12.199
Well, I mean that's the thing. It's just like fourteen is like what

1189
01:32:12.279 --> 01:32:16.199
they wanted them a mode to be
so right, and then also you know,

1190
01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:21.960
hey, that's coming Xbox also.
Yeah, so so many years after

1191
01:32:23.119 --> 01:32:27.359
the fact, Minister that that guy
got his wish, but having only one

1192
01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:32.520
console one huh right, interesting that
they they they trying to make a big

1193
01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:35.600
deal out about it. You know, like Phil Spencer was there Tokyo Game

1194
01:32:35.640 --> 01:32:40.680
Show and they kind of sort of
made a promise about like trying to put

1195
01:32:40.720 --> 01:32:45.119
more games on Xbox. Well see
how that goes. Yeah, I don't

1196
01:32:45.119 --> 01:32:46.159
know what that means all of them
are gonna have to be on game Pass

1197
01:32:46.279 --> 01:32:49.880
or that also means Microsoft is going
to put up a bunch. They did

1198
01:32:50.439 --> 01:32:56.199
also like extend the the announcement of
that also meant that they were not only

1199
01:32:56.199 --> 01:33:00.479
they announced the new expansion of Don
Trail, they could they extended the free

1200
01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:04.840
trial to like the next expansion.
So it's like not Rome Reborn, but

1201
01:33:04.880 --> 01:33:09.439
it's like Shadow Bringers. I think
they do that because it's an easier way

1202
01:33:09.479 --> 01:33:13.640
to get like new players in or
up to up to speed. It makes

1203
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:15.760
sense. I think Wow does the
same thing, where it's like if you

1204
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:19.000
want to start playing Wow, now
you get probably up to like Legion,

1205
01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:25.239
maybe even like the next one.
Yes, oh I mean yeah that in't

1206
01:33:25.239 --> 01:33:28.920
that how it always was? Like
you I mean not initially, but yeah,

1207
01:33:29.159 --> 01:33:31.079
now it is because it's like,
yeah, you don't want to let's

1208
01:33:31.079 --> 01:33:33.960
see you just get into Wow.
Now it's like, okay, Wow thirty

1209
01:33:33.960 --> 01:33:39.319
bucks, not I have to buy
nine expansions each of twenty to thirty bucks

1210
01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:45.760
as well, Like that ain't gonna
happen. Yeah, man, I forgot

1211
01:33:45.760 --> 01:33:47.119
to do it this week. But
okay, so next week we are going

1212
01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:54.399
to start having a tiktoks like h
of the show so I can just put

1213
01:33:54.439 --> 01:33:58.000
it on tickto I forgot to do
that this week. That I head that

1214
01:33:58.079 --> 01:34:01.000
in my head the whole week and
then forgot. But oh well, uh

1215
01:34:01.319 --> 01:34:08.279
gotta gotta try to embrace the social
media is is the thing. And I

1216
01:34:08.399 --> 01:34:10.600
was like, why are you not
on TikTok? I'm like, uh,

1217
01:34:11.159 --> 01:34:14.279
do you know how long it takes
me to edit the audio because I have

1218
01:34:14.359 --> 01:34:17.520
a brain because I have a brain. Well, you know, there's a

1219
01:34:17.520 --> 01:34:21.680
lot of TikTok is, just like
it's it's the new it's what Twitter was,

1220
01:34:23.479 --> 01:34:28.159
or excuse me, x how the
stupidity of that too. That dude,

1221
01:34:28.199 --> 01:34:32.399
I swear cannot just get any more
dumber by the day. But I'm

1222
01:34:32.439 --> 01:34:35.560
not. We're not here to talk
about that. Uh well, I guess

1223
01:34:35.560 --> 01:34:42.199
speaking about big corporations, Apple and
Tetris. The Tetris Company are getting sued

1224
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:48.560
by the the author and journalist Dan
Ackerman because he was leased to book The

1225
01:34:48.560 --> 01:34:53.840
Tetris Effect, the game that hypnotize
the world in twenty sixteen, and he

1226
01:34:53.920 --> 01:34:59.399
says that the movie's plot is basically
taken from the book almost, you know,

1227
01:34:59.520 --> 01:35:03.720
pretty much, it's very closely,
and especially the part where they like

1228
01:35:03.840 --> 01:35:06.680
making about the Cold War and all
that other stuff. That's you know,

1229
01:35:08.439 --> 01:35:11.840
a lot of this story is true. But yeah, I was gonna say,

1230
01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:15.720
yeah, they be like me,
like if you read a World War

1231
01:35:15.760 --> 01:35:18.439
two movie and he's suing you because
I wrote a book about it, It's

1232
01:35:18.479 --> 01:35:24.560
like, right, but they took
this stuff about, you know, the

1233
01:35:24.760 --> 01:35:28.079
making it about the Cold War and
that like Russia was really gonna arrest him

1234
01:35:28.159 --> 01:35:30.800
and all that other stuff and put
it in the movie. So like,

1235
01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:35.520
you know, unless unless they're gonna
say that they made that up themselves.

1236
01:35:35.520 --> 01:35:41.600
But like his story what he says
kind of seems plausible about how he set

1237
01:35:41.680 --> 01:35:44.600
up another copy of the book.
They told him, no, we don't

1238
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:46.439
want you to use anything, or
we don't want to work with you on

1239
01:35:47.199 --> 01:35:54.760
using Tetris or whatever, and then
you know, and then and then all

1240
01:35:54.800 --> 01:35:58.439
of a sudden there's a movie being
made, so like you know that kind

1241
01:35:58.479 --> 01:36:01.279
of but it's also and you don't
believe it, No, I believe it's

1242
01:36:01.319 --> 01:36:08.479
an extent, but it's I mean, he's probably he's interviewing uh what's his

1243
01:36:08.640 --> 01:36:14.680
name, Uh, you know,
hankred Rogers. Yeah, and then like

1244
01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:17.000
that those events happened to him,
or you know, they might be interviewing

1245
01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:24.760
I mean, he might be interviewing
like old USS are soldiers or finding documents

1246
01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:29.359
based on that. What's to say
that, like the Tetris movie, Screamers

1247
01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:33.439
didn't do the same thing, because
it's it's like how they're they're they're gonna

1248
01:36:33.479 --> 01:36:41.000
do competing movies based on Elizabeth Holmes, and the first one came out and

1249
01:36:41.039 --> 01:36:44.960
then to say Field one came out, and then the Margot Robbie one was

1250
01:36:44.960 --> 01:36:46.439
like, no, we're gonna we're
gonna stop doing that now or you know,

1251
01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:53.520
yeah, I think no, no, it's not Margot Robbie, Jennifer

1252
01:36:54.199 --> 01:36:58.720
Lawrence, she's gonna do it,
but oh no, we we were gonna

1253
01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:02.680
stop because already did it. I
just think it's it's odd that, you

1254
01:37:02.720 --> 01:37:06.119
know, I'm sure, well,
you gotta ask if they even like looked

1255
01:37:06.119 --> 01:37:11.960
at the book. They may not
have for all we know, but because

1256
01:37:11.960 --> 01:37:16.439
the events actually happened, let's assume
that the Tetris movie writers also interviewed Hank

1257
01:37:16.520 --> 01:37:23.079
Rogers and did at least the basics
of journalism or you know, research.

1258
01:37:23.279 --> 01:37:27.279
But I'm assuming that they did because
they would have gotten a lot of the

1259
01:37:27.279 --> 01:37:30.479
same stories from him and like Alexei
tadget Off and stuff like that. So,

1260
01:37:31.399 --> 01:37:38.079
right, did you like the movie? I think, yeah, I

1261
01:37:38.119 --> 01:37:40.279
didn't watch it. I mean,
I can always just grab it, I

1262
01:37:40.279 --> 01:37:44.399
guess, but I liked it.
It's actually funny because I a friend of

1263
01:37:44.439 --> 01:37:46.920
mine that's not a big gamer.
But they obviously know what Tetris is.

1264
01:37:46.960 --> 01:37:50.720
Who doesn't, Yeah, and obviously
know what Nintendo is and all that stuff.

1265
01:37:50.760 --> 01:37:55.520
So like they hated it at first, they were bored by it,

1266
01:37:55.760 --> 01:37:58.880
and then they watched it again.
I guess when when they weren't half asleep,

1267
01:37:58.920 --> 01:38:00.800
and they actually liked it a lot. So yeah, that helps.

1268
01:38:01.640 --> 01:38:04.640
I think critics were kind of like
mixed on it if I never right,

1269
01:38:06.399 --> 01:38:11.640
you know, but it has an
eighty two percent and rotten tomatoes. Okay,

1270
01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:16.800
that's that's good. So yeah,
uh, I don't know if you

1271
01:38:16.920 --> 01:38:21.760
had anything else that you Oh one
thing I forgot to mention. I played

1272
01:38:21.800 --> 01:38:27.000
that Lies of p demo. Oh
yeah, all right, yeah, you

1273
01:38:27.039 --> 01:38:30.640
know it's it's Pinocchio Dark Souls.
But I have to look at the game

1274
01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:34.520
that is interesting. Uh yeah,
yeah, it's It took me a bit

1275
01:38:34.600 --> 01:38:40.479
too. I had to fight that
first like mini boss a couple of times

1276
01:38:40.880 --> 01:38:45.119
because yeah, I didn't beat the
main but the big boss of that thing.

1277
01:38:45.159 --> 01:38:46.960
I mean, I mean I died
like the first time, but then

1278
01:38:47.000 --> 01:38:50.520
the second time I beat him.
Yeah, but yeah, I seem to

1279
01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:55.199
hold up pretty well, and I
may give it a shot at some point.

1280
01:38:55.760 --> 01:38:59.199
I also think it's funny that Armor
Core six is hitting this week.

1281
01:39:00.279 --> 01:39:02.119
Yep, A lot of a lot
of people are going to mean for a

1282
01:39:02.159 --> 01:39:08.079
fucking world to hurt when that game
comes out. Yes, Uh, people

1283
01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:11.800
need to understand that it's nothing like
Dark Soul. Yeah. I told even

1284
01:39:11.880 --> 01:39:14.800
Jane was excited for it because it's
from software and I was like, yeah,

1285
01:39:14.920 --> 01:39:17.439
have you played those games before music? No? Yeah, and what's

1286
01:39:17.520 --> 01:39:23.680
more like an action mission based game? What's a mission based like game that?

1287
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:27.880
Well? It was funny because one
of Jan's complaints about the World Loss

1288
01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:31.520
fight in Diablo four is he only
had fifteen minutes to beat it. Yeah,

1289
01:39:31.560 --> 01:39:33.880
and he was like, oh,
I hate I hate games that give

1290
01:39:33.960 --> 01:39:35.960
you a timer. I can make
you know, a boss timer, a

1291
01:39:35.960 --> 01:39:39.960
mission timer. And I was like, yo, dog, that is what

1292
01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:44.840
Assassins or I mean, that is
an Armored Core is all about. Yeah,

1293
01:39:45.000 --> 01:39:49.119
it's a mission based game. Yeah, when I mean I've seen some

1294
01:39:49.279 --> 01:39:53.119
footage of it, or they've shown
some gameplay of it, and they don't

1295
01:39:53.119 --> 01:39:57.279
have timers in it. But believe
me, that game's gonna have some some

1296
01:39:57.359 --> 01:40:05.439
time somewhere and it's gonna be The
gameplay part looks fun, fluid than That's

1297
01:40:05.439 --> 01:40:09.359
what I was trying to make a
point at. It's not action, but

1298
01:40:09.479 --> 01:40:14.920
it looks more like they definitely tried
to add more action and yeah, I

1299
01:40:14.960 --> 01:40:17.520
mean I played the first game,
the nineteen ninety seven one. That's like

1300
01:40:17.680 --> 01:40:24.479
my frame of reference. So right, well, I was gonna say,

1301
01:40:24.479 --> 01:40:28.560
I know he's getting it, and
I'm like, good luck. Yeah,

1302
01:40:28.600 --> 01:40:34.000
I mean like that gave me a
great segue to just go ahead and get

1303
01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:38.520
into the games that are coming out
this week. Yep, so we can

1304
01:40:38.680 --> 01:40:44.960
end the show here. Basically,
I totally forgot Immortals of Venom. A

1305
01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:48.600
Venom is coming out. Yeah.
Reviews just hit for that and they're they're

1306
01:40:48.720 --> 01:40:54.319
something, Yeah, exactly, that's
expected. That's why I said when I

1307
01:40:54.319 --> 01:40:55.960
saw it, I was like,
are you kind of nderstood in this?

1308
01:40:56.000 --> 01:41:00.680
Because the last thing I saw of
it maybe be like yeah no, yeah,

1309
01:41:00.199 --> 01:41:05.079
uh Smurf's cart That's exactly what we
needed. That's the only one last

1310
01:41:05.079 --> 01:41:09.760
Smurfs. They needed to have their
own cart racer Russell Quest, which you

1311
01:41:09.760 --> 01:41:12.119
know we talked about on the show. That's coming on and everything, including

01:42:04.239 --> 01:42:10.199
do the show next week, so
get ready folks. Yeah, I'll be

1322
01:42:10.239 --> 01:42:14.039
curious for those arm record reviews.
Let's say that they look at they're going

1323
01:42:14.079 --> 01:42:16.199
to be good. People kind of
seem to be excited for that, except

1324
01:42:16.239 --> 01:42:20.199
for that one guy that was bitching
about graphics for some stupid reason. Yeah,

1325
01:42:20.920 --> 01:42:26.199
screw you do. Anyway, that's
it for the show this week.

1326
01:42:27.119 --> 01:42:30.399
Thank you for listening or watching,
whichever you did. If you watch a

1332
01:42:54.840 --> 01:42:58.520
I guess main shows, you get
MetalHammer Doomed as well. You get the

1333
01:42:58.560 --> 01:43:02.840
TV party tonight. So they did
a review Secret Invasion, not recently like

1334
01:43:02.960 --> 01:43:05.520
last week as well. So if
you want to hear a review of Sekenration,

1335
01:43:05.520 --> 01:43:09.600
don't have to watch the show because
you can watch that instead. You

1336
01:43:09.680 --> 01:43:13.479
can also listen with your ears on
podcasts. Yes, we're still there.

1337
01:43:13.479 --> 01:43:16.960
You just gotta go find all of
the shows individually. They decided that,

1338
01:43:17.760 --> 01:43:20.920
you know, the network feed is
no more, but you can go search

1339
01:43:21.000 --> 01:43:25.439
video games to the max on any
podcast pro writer of your choice. Leave

1340
01:43:25.520 --> 01:43:29.039
us a review on there if you'd
like, and that will let us know

1341
01:43:29.199 --> 01:43:32.600
what you think and it would help
us move the rankings, which always is

1342
01:43:32.640 --> 01:43:38.359
good because that means we can keep
doing this show and all that's jazz.

1343
01:43:38.640 --> 01:43:44.279
So until next week, everybody,
