00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,239
It's the Internet. You're busy,
Let's do this. Welcome to the Game

2
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,079
Mest Deicides Podcast. This is the
podcast where we decide everything happening in the

3
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,960
world of video games, so you
never have to think for yourself. I'm

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,799
your host Jeff Grubb with me is
Mike Manaughty. In today's episode. It

5
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:46,119
fucking sucks here. It just fight. It sucks, That's what I have.

6
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,439
Yeah, first, Mike, how
are you doing? I mean,

7
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:58,880
this is an all seriousness, Jeff, My finger hurts. I think having

8
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,359
to push this fucking sharp I just
say, deepets, don't bother me.

9
00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:08,799
Having to like push this diagonally constantly
for the fucking jumps I have to do.

10
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,000
I Mortal Kombat Mythologies has actually done
some kind of nerve damage to my

11
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:18,159
thumb. It is so sharp.
It's it's just like in the game where

12
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,599
you're like, I've got this and
then you immediately fall deep pads never bother

13
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,799
me. And now hear your finger
hurts. My first problem it's just so

14
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:29,719
he can't believe's not a jump with
it. Yes, ah, but yeah,

15
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:34,480
uh it's been a long week,
it has We're not quite through it.

16
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,079
No gods, tomorrow is supposed to
be the bad news day. You

17
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:42,000
should be exactly the garbage day.
Uh. Do you ever stop to think

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,400
maybe this is your fault for not
beating fujin? Like maybe we're in the

19
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,239
bad time line zoomed that I assume
fault one way or another. Uh.

20
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,599
Yeah, it's it's rough out there, lots of layoffs. It's a real

21
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,519
bummer. Seems like way more than
what are what would be a reason or

22
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,840
in any way justifiable. We'll talk
about that. It's going to be kind

23
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:07,959
of what we talk about in our
big Topics of the Week segment. But

24
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,319
yeah, I don't know, Mike. I guess we should stay up front.

25
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:15,039
I'm gonna be probably missing these episodes
next week. Steph's going to be

26
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:17,800
out of town. I'll be busy. Just a reminder, if you're listening

27
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,039
to this now, in the next
week, the next episode that you're listening

28
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,479
to in succession here, I will
likely not be on it. But these

29
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:28,759
guys will handle it. There will
be an episode. We'll make some figure

30
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:32,039
something out. Everybody absolutely all right, you know what, let's just get

31

45
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,719
right. The big topics of the
week layoffs ry I had a bunch of

46
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,000
layoffs. Microsoft laid off nineteen hundred
people. Everyone everyone across the industry is

47
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,240
laying off about eight percent up to
about twelve percent of their workforce, and

48
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,039
everyone's like Hey, we can get
away with this right now, We're going

49
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,080
to do it, and it's wild
out there. Got people kind of message

50
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,639
me like, oh, the entire
QAA teams internally at studios being laid off,

51
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:50,400
just kind of completely losing their jobs. It's a mess. Mike,

52
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,439
how are you feeling about it?
All? Bad? Not good, but

53
00:03:53,719 --> 00:04:00,000
confuse, angry, sad, worried, lots of negative emotions about this.

54
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,520
It's pretty hard to see any kind
of bright side except I guess the vague

55
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,120
promise and that you know, times
like this usually don't last forever, at

56
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:14,879
least they happened so far. It's
not that much consolation at the moment.

57
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:19,800
I mean, Jeff finely talked about
it before. But if I asked you,

58
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,040
I don't know if you there's this
a synct way for you to explain

59
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,319
why is this happening? Yeah,
I mean there's there's a couple of reasons,

60
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,839
the big reasons. Like for most
of these companies, it's easier to

61
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,560
explain. With Microsoft, they're a
three trillion dollar company. There they have

62
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,439
the largest market capitalization in the history
of the world. They are more than

63
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,160
Apple now they're the second company ever
to get three trillion in market cap after

64
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,160
Apple, but there is still still
reasons. The real reason is that the

65
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:49,120
industry is, you know, if
it's growing, it's growing at about one

66
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,839
percent. That's the number we got
from the MPD group. NBD group looks

67
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,639
at everything, all the data available
to them and for the entire market,

68
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,959
and they look at mobile everything,
it's like, we're going about one percent.

69
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,160
That's about four percent below what they
were expecting, which is well,

70
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:09,360
MPD was expected about three percent.
These companies were expecting about five percent growth.

71
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,920
And then really what it is,
it's actually down way more severely than

72
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:18,480
that, because these companies were expecting
like five percent growth on a year before

73
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:23,399
that was still as high as the
pandemic year was, and so it's like,

74
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,839
oh, these forecasts are way out
of whack. And the companies hired

75
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,360
up based on those expectations, and
here we are. I think you can

76
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:38,720
like compare it to it to a
country like Japan, where it's a lot

77
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:42,040
harder to lay people off, and
so they're a little bit more hesitant about

78
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:44,439
hiring people. And there's an argument
to be made it's like, well,

79
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,600
get rid of some of those regulations
and more people will get hired. But

80
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,800
it's like, actually, they've been
way more responsible in terms of slowly building

81
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:56,879
up so that they don't find themselves
in situations where they're like completely overstretched and

82
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,920
they have to begin cutting a bunch
of jobs. That's way more traumatic traumatic

83
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:05,519
and just kind of slowly hiring people
consistently as you need it. For Microsoft,

84
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,639
it's the same thing. I think
they're looking down the barrel of Okay,

85
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,959
yeah, we did just buy a
big publisher, and we do have

86
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,600
Xbox Game Pass and all this stuff. But for the next couple of years,

87
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,800
we're not expecting huge leaps in growth
for anything, especially like Call of

88
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,600
Duty. Call of Duty's probably going
to have, you know, a couple

89
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,639
up years, a couple down years
over the next little bit. But between

90
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,319
the Battle Royale game, between the
mobile game, and between the console premium

91
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,120
release, when you add all those
up together, the next couple years aren't

92
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,079
going to be like a ten percent
growth here compared to the high tide of

93
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,360
what they experienced during the pandemic.
So you can extrapolate that across the entire

94
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:53,759
portfolio over there for Microsoft. So
there's a yeah, what are we going

95
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,000
to do. We have a lot
of people now, and we did just

96
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,079
make an acquisition, so there are
redundancies. So simple thing here is to

97
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,000
cut a bunch of jobs, and
it's just like, why, why is

98
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,600
it that simple? It shouldn't be
that simple. And we know it's not

99
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,279
just redundancies. It's not just when
we're here specifically from Blizzard, of just

100
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,040
so many just straight up developers.
The entire team that was working on a

101
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:19,879
new project seems like Overwatch too hit
by this. A bunch of people,

102
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:24,319
I mean, our mentor Dan Schues
working I think in the editorial team.

103
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,800
A third of his team and him
are gone. So just tons over there,

104
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,480
right, That's why I opened with
like that, it's eight percent across

105
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,600
the entire industry. Everyone like these
these are not some Oh this is Microsoft

106
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:40,439
doing this because the acquisition happened.
I know that's a common thing from a

107
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:43,319
lot of people, and get I
get that string of thinking. Obviously that

108
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,519
does have some effect on this,
but it's not the only thing that's happening

109
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,680
here. Sorry to interrupt, though, let you continue. No, you're

110
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,000
right, it's just the Isaac.
Theing Microsoft in the Xbox thing is especially

111
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,240
upsetting because that, I mean,
that company just has so much money,

112
00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:01,439
just so so much money. I
don't understand what the point of being a

113
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,920
company is if not to just at
least support a workforce instead of just immediately

114
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,240
dumping them and making that the solution, because it's the easiest solution as soon

115
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:13,519
as you need to find a way
to lighten alone or to make stockholders happy,

116
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,639
and of course the stock price goes
up, what do you do?

117
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,040
We did it? Everybody we win
just encapsulates like everything wrong with the whole

118
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:28,240
system, right, yeah, yeah, it's and you know, of course

119
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:35,480
people point to corporate consolidation, and
I just don't love that because it makes

120
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,279
it sound like if we just stop
these people from being able to sell their

121
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,159
businesses to other businesses, capitalism would
work. It's just like it's not.

122
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,320
I wish, but no, the
symptoms go so much deeper there. The

123
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,799
problems are. The cracks run to
the very foundation of it all. If

124
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,279
if Microsoft was blocked from buying Activision
Blizzard, we would likely still be seen

125
00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:01,399
most of these layoffs just spread across
two companies in stea out of one.

126
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,799
Definitely we'd be saying them, I
think at Activision and honestly probably at Microsoft

127
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,960
as well. Activision was definitely going
to be like thinking about Okay, we

128
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:15,679
have again going back to call of
duty, we have expressed call of duty

129
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,240
and the number of ways that we
can figure out how to express call of

130
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,799
duty to get as much milk out
of it as possible. And now we

131
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,039
are we have the mobile game.
We have a bunch of batter reyals that

132
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:28,200
we released back to back and now
we're going to kind of try to focus

133
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,519
on one of those, and we're
going to have the seventy dollars game coming

134
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,720
out every year. Can we keep
making more Call of Duties? Yeah,

135
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,679
we're going to actually have a couple
more coming. But beyond that, what

136
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:41,960
do we have? And it's they
don't know. They don't know, so

137
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,440
there are only other solution. Usually
instead of well, instead of making big

138
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,279
bets for growth, if those aren't
working or we're too afraid to do those,

139
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,480
it's to cut costs. And they're
the easiest thing to cut is the

140
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:56,159
thing that costs the most, and
that's labor. And here we are.

141
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:01,559
But it just seems like they're setting
them souls up poorly for the future.

142
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:05,320
So Okay, maybe this Blizzard game, the survival game, wasn't working.

143
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,039
Well, we're still gonna need something. Can't you get those people to make

144
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:13,120
something else maybe instead? Yes,
where we have at Blizzard right now and

145
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,200
Overwatch too, that also just lost
a lot of staff. It is not

146
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,960
in a good place at all.
A harvestone that has been dwindling for a

147
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:24,440
pretty long time now. They all
before that came out strong and seems to

148
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120
have been very quiet since then.
I don't know exactly how that's doing.

149
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,200
I can't imagine doing terribly. But
Blizzard just seems like it's such a weird

150
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:35,919
place right now. I can't imagine
what its future is. I want it.

151
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:37,960
What's gonna happen to that campus?
Jeff? I wonder if that's a

152
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:46,879
big sticking with Microsoft, that Blizzard
has this giant expansive in California in Irvine,

153
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,960
California, giant office complex. Right
campus is literally a campus. I've

154
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,279
been there. It's very ornate,
it's huge, it has to be incredibly

155
00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:00,399
expensive, and now at a time
where we really don't need offices that much.

156
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,279
Nice to have, I guess,
but man, what's going to happen

157
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,399
to that? I mean nice to
have to a point, because like,

158
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:09,080
but you start looking at those numbers, probably it's like, man, the

159
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,120
world in which we made the mortgage
for that thing or whatever it is.

160
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,000
The loan is so different, Like
if we were to build the same thing

161
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:22,200
today, it would be half the
price, or we'd be our monthly payment

162
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,159
on that would be half of what
we're paying on it. Because office real

163
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:31,360
estate has completely collapsed. No one's
renting offices anymore, no one's building,

164
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,720
no one needs offices anymore. So, yeah, that stuff is very cheap.

165
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,519
And so when you have these contracts
that are built in, they look

166
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:39,960
especially egregious. I bet you're right. I bet that campus does look like

167
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:46,720
an eyesore when they are looking at
the costs and comparisons like that. Yeah,

168
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:50,039
I think setting themselves up for the
future. You said, Boy,

169
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,039
it doesn't feel like there's any thinking
about that right now. Right now it

170
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:56,240
feels like, oh my god,
we're making too many games and that it's

171
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,879
like, oh oh shit, Really
that doesn't seem like them be possible.

172
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,200
People still, people are still buying
a lot of games. People spend a

173
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,120
lot of money on games they like. Yeah, if you have if you

174
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:09,200
make a bad game or a game
that people do not get moved by,

175
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:13,279
it's very easy for that thing to
crash and burn I recognize that that is

176
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,639
a huge risk and that that is
a scary proposition if you are one of

177
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,159
these companies. But if you just
still, if you don't think that making

178
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,679
games is the answer, what the
fuck are we doing here? I just

179
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,080
don't get it, Mike, Yeah, right, Like, what else?

180
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,879
What else are we going to do? Right? Right? I mean you

181
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:35,720
can latch onto, you can hope
for another buzzword to come around and hope

182
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,120
that works. And honestly, that
feels like whether it's what they were doing,

183
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:41,519
so survival survival games, Okay,
right, we'll just do one of

184
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,360
those. Like, I hate to
see a game. I would have rather

185
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,840
that game got made to finish.
I would have rather that maybe they worked

186
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,519
on something a little bit more inspired
exciting than that. Who knows, we

187
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:52,200
don't. We haven't seen that game, right, might not ever know?

188
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,559
Tom was a survival game. I
bet it would have been really good.

189
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,840
I bet it would have been really
fun, very would have been very spiffy.

190
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:01,960
But you know, I mean,
they've been struggling this for a while.

191
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,200
Even Overwatch was basically the bones of
a much more ambitious game that was

192
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,919
never able to get off the ground, and then they made something fantastic out

193
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,559
of that, and it sort of
slowly kind of ruined it. Right.

194
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,639
I still find that whole PvE cancelation
baffling. I think that's that was clearly

195
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,120
the wrong choice. Something was clearly
mismanaged there. And I know that's a

196
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,320
lot where a lot of the cuts
went over there. I know some other

197
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,440
place where the Xbox cuts happened.
I think, according to Jazz Cordon is

198
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,279
on the physical publishing side, right, which I suppose that's not shocking,

199
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:37,399
but that's not shocking. We're going
to see a lot of people making more

200
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,720
cuts in throughout this year. Yeah, at certain points, like I bet

201
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,000
they're thinking, why is then not
something we're just when we need it,

202
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,960
we'll outsource it, And when we
don't need it, why are we spending

203
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,840
money on it? Yeah, those
shifts are happening, like there are still

204
00:13:54,879 --> 00:14:01,440
there are still like strategic and behavioral
shifts in the market that justify moving people

205
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,320
around and taking resources out of one
bucket and putting in another one. This

206
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,759
is just a full on reversal from
games in many ways now, I mean

207
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,440
not a complete reversal, but they
are in reverse pulling back from Okay,

208
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240
we've made all these investments, all
these beliefs in games, and now that's

209
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,399
just not something we want to be
in the business of right now, of

210
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,360
like one hundred percent committed to all
these things. We want to pick and

211
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,879
choose and just be very safe and
go with what we know. And it's

212
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:31,600
like, I mean, you've been
like that before Xbox That's what the Xbox

213
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,399
One generation was, where you're like, like, you had that launch of

214
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,360
the Xbox One, those launch games
didn't perform. You tried to get that

215
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,440
Tune Rader exclusive game that didn't go
very well, and then you're like,

216
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,559
well, fuck, we see everyone
playing Destiny constantly. Why would we be

217
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,879
trying to make anything other than a
game like that where people are just going

218
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:52,399
to play that for twenty five hundred
hours. Anything else is a waste of

219
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:54,600
our time. And it's like,
okay, well, hopefully game Pass solve

220
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:58,399
that and now, but we're kind
of back here where it's like, are

221
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,440
you're going to only go with stuff
that are sure bets or only go with

222
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,000
things that are I mean, I
suppose a big, expensive survival game from

223
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,080
a Blizzard, maybe that is a
beast of a different color at a certain

224
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,000
point, maybe that is so massive
and so such a huge risk that it's

225
00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:16,840
different. But I don't know,
it feels like, well, yeah,

226
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,399
just take those people then and move
them to something else. Why are they

227
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,159
all being let go? It's because
they're afraid. My worry is, you

228
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,000
know, we're having amazing games right
now. This month has been amazing.

229
00:15:26,039 --> 00:15:30,480
Last year was amazing, but that's
a product of things happening four or five,

230
00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:33,559
six, seven years ago. I'm
worried about what this industry is going

231
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,720
to look like in terms of the
quality of games we're getting in four,

232
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,639
five, six years right now.
Because of the decisions that we are making

233
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:46,080
right now, I think they're going
to look incredibly short sighted in the near

234
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,879
future. Yep, it's probably we're
going to get two a couple of years

235
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:52,679
from now, You're right, and
we're gonna look around and be like,

236
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,240
remember twenty twenty two, Remember twenty
twenty three, twenty twenty four, those

237
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,120
are some good years for games.
We were getting a lot of games.

238
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,639
And you know, while this is
happening, the underlying market, the bubbly

239
00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:08,600
market of people making games and putting
it on Steam and making power worlds with

240
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:11,799
a handful of people, or you
know, even like a small, relatively

241
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,279
small teams. That's not going to
slow down people. That's just gonna keep

242
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,159
going. And you're going to be
in a world where you're going to be

243
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:23,080
even less relevant if you can't,
if you didn't make some big bets yourself

244
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:30,320
at some point. So, yeah, I don't know. Nineteen hundred people

245
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,759
is it's a really huge number.
It's unfathomable. It's number. And by

246
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,720
the way, it's not just a
shrug. That's the that's how business works.

247
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,519
Numbers. So please, God,
please don't if if you have that,

248
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:45,320
take please just take a little bit
more. Think that things can actually

249
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,639
be remarkable. Not everything can be
shrugged off in a non issue, because

250
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,720
if it is an issue, it
would have to bum you out for two

251
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:55,240
minutes. I'm not saying that you
have to be depressed for the rest of

252
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:56,960
your life. Yeah, but it
is a real thing. It is real

253
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,440
serious, and there need to be
solutions instead of everyone twiddling your thumb here

254
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,160
and just kind of wait to get
out or hoping it's not as bad as

255
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,240
we think because that's this just business
or something. Yeah. I mean,

256
00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:12,599
listen, you have my permission to
be a nihilist, but fucking keep it

257
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,920
to yourself. Just keep it to
yourself. If you're actually an nihilist and

258
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,880
you really don't care about any of
this, then don't care somewhere else.

259
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,279
Don't You don't have to tell people
that you don't care. Just fucking go

260
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:30,119
be miserable and unaffected by human suffering
somewhere else. I don't need it my

261
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,400
mentions, don't need it in the
comments, don't need it in the chat.

262
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:41,079
Just save it, please, all
right? If people have any questions

263
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:42,119
about this, do you have any
comments you want to make yourself so again,

264
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,240
the super chats are open. Or
if you want to talk about something

265
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,960
else that happen this week, feel
free. We will still talk about we

266
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,079
have our other topics happening. We're
going to choose the best game of twenty

267
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:56,720
thirteen, things like that, we've
been playing tech in, We've been playing

268
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,759
I've been playing like a Dragon.
We'll talk about that in a little bit.

269
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,160
There's anything else you guys want to
talk about on this subject or anything

270
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,079
else, feel free to hop in
there. Let us know. Let's take

271
00:18:04,079 --> 00:18:07,799
a quick break. When we get
back, we'll do some super chats.

272
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:15,960
Talk to you all right after this, and we're back. Mikey, if

273
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:19,759
you have some super chats, go
ahead and read those to me. Absolutely,

274
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,599
so we got a few here.
First of from Adam GC says,

275
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:26,880
I cannot fucking even with the end
of that blanklow. I show my wife

276
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,279
and she was so upset on Mike's
behalf. Oh, Jeff, I gosh.

277
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,720
The most the incredible thing is that
you know, the community has really

278
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:40,079
come out and support of me,
Jeff, and of course people have gone

279
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,000
through the effort of us, specifically
finding and clipping. The time Jeff got

280
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:48,440
tired of Sonic O six because he
was bad at pushing balls for twenty minutes,

281
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,079
so then Nicky just told him how
to clip through a door and cheat,

282
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,039
and we were happy for him.
We cheered, We're like, that's

283
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,920
nice, go job. I do
have thoughts about this specifically you. There

284
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,480
is a certain amount of pride that
you have and I know you did ask

285
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,119
for help. I'll get to that. There's a certain amount of pride that

286
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,799
you have of doing it yourself that
Dan doesn't have and I don't, and

287
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:18,599
I'm like worried about sullying that.
But clearly with this game, we have

288
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,400
crossed over that line where it's like
you know you've done it. You've done

289
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,079
what was expected of you and more, and so now that we're going through

290
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,079
it again, clearly, let's just
talk it out and figure out the best

291
00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,799
way to do this. Somebody else
literally edited together a tips video for me

292
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,200
in this level. And remember at
one point I was like, I'm worried

293
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:40,359
that I'm not getting some ability that
is like some diagonal projectile. Is that

294
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:45,319
really what it was? I'll ask
the fuck what so I might have to

295
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,000
I think, where's LONG going to
do when I get it back in there

296
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,079
on Wednesday, I'm going to learn
like at least one good ground combo.

297
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,079
I'm going to find a really efficient
way to kill these minions so that I

298
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:02,680
can kill them and get experience and
get the diagonal thingy and then go fight

299
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,160
Foojin the fucko. He's not even
a fuos are good? Where fucos?

300
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,160
He's just a fuck off? Yeah, that fuck off food Jen. We're

301
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,240
gonna freeze him, We're gonna be
aggressive, we're gonna kick him, and

302
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,920
then when he makes a tornado,
we're going to apparently run to the science

303
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,720
stage and grab the edge of it. You psycho passed, what the hell

304
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:26,920
is wrong with you? Here's what
I don't get like most of the almost

305
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,839
all chat was on your side,
like being to be told that information Sean,

306
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,920
Why were you like, no,
we can't tell him. It was

307
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:37,519
just because it's like we wanted to
me because Sean, Sean likes to see

308
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:41,440
me suffer. That's the only reason
why, Mike, Mike, remember when

309
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:49,240
I told you that I don't accept
apologies, I get even the hell you

310
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:57,599
fuck? So yeah, because he
hates me, you should cool? Now,

311
00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:03,759
Yeah, I could not, Like, I really couldn't hold it in.

312
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:07,519
I like when I saw when I
like, first I read it's like

313
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,359
you got to grab hold of something
and hold on. And I was like,

314
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,440
because I read it first before I
saw the video, I was like,

315
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:17,880
what what if the fuck are you
talking about? Hold on? So

316
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,400
what that has not been a thing? I'm like, is he supposed to

317
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,480
try to jump off the edge and
grab the side of the stage like hang,

318
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,160
Like that's that's the most psychotic thing
I've ever heard. It's like,

319
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,599
it's like, no, it's the
second most psychotic thing I've ever heard.

320
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:34,200
Run to the edge of stage,
duck and just I guess you automatically does

321
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:40,240
this get over there? It's like
some bespoke special context animation. Yes,

322
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,920
that happens only in that it's psychotic. It is just absolutely criminal. It

323
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,359
is literally just jaunt to bias or
somebody was like, it'd be funny if

324
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,839
they just died no matter what.
After being this boss. I don't want

325
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,519
to give them the credit for that. I think it's just like they're like,

326
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,599
hey, it would be cool,
it would be cinema if you had

327
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,319
to hold onto this stage. And
then I saw a mechanic in our game

328
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,000
though, Yeah, and they never
even thought about the ramifications of what that

329
00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:11,200
meant exactly. I don't know.
You know, I'm having I'm had a

330
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,359
good time with us. I'm glad
I'm not playing it. But that was

331
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,240
the most bullshit thing I've ever seen. I would be Claire, you know,

332
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:21,839
I get upset. I'm still I
am having fun. I'm glad that

333
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,119
everybody is having a good laugh.
You know, it's all entertainment. So

334
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,960
don't like, don't shoot feel bad
for me other than your hurt fingy.

335
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:37,720
Of course that's a problem. The
new episode of Highlight Reel from our friend

336
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,279
Chris person he I think you put
that up on his Patreon today. It's

337
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:45,119
out early for picture, and I
think that clip is in there of you

338
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,400
doing the jump kick. So the
jump kick, yes, that was he

339
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,079
was like as soon as he saw
that, he like I saw him,

340
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,119
favored it. And then like two
seconds later I got a DM saying can

341
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,640
I put this in highlight? Reel
my absolutely, go for it? All

342
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:03,559
right? Any more super chats?
Yes? Next from RT Bicks as mikeyr

343
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:06,160
Pain brings us so much joy?
Thank you, Jeff. How are you

344
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,119
feeling about Harball leaving Michigan. I'm
fine with it. It's like hard to

345
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,559
try to talk about it on Twitter. It's a terrible place to talk about

346
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:18,440
something like this. Thank you Harball
for getting us the national championship. He

347
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:22,359
earned that, he did that.
I do think at this point, especially

348
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,920
the changes to college football and the
name, image and likeness sort of payments,

349
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,759
Michigan is like number one, number
two in terms of being the most

350
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:34,160
a profitable of college football program.
They have so much money, and they

351
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,400
are also, at the same time
the one place where a defensive person has

352
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,039
won the Heisman and finished second in
Heisman voting in the last couple of years.

353
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:44,920
If you're a defensive player, you're
gonna want to go play at Michigan.

354
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:48,119
So I think they're gonna be able
to recruit great players with or without

355
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,319
Jim Harball. I'm not too worried
about it. And I always thought Jim

356
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,440
Harball was kind of weird honestly.
He's Like when I hear these stories about

357
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,680
him telling players don't eat chicken because
chickens and nervous bird and it will make

358
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,519
you nervous, I'm like, what
the fuck is this guy talking to you

359
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:04,960
about? How do you think that
gets transferred exactly? What do you think

360
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,240
eating is? Jim? Eating is
like you are what you eat. That's

361
00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:12,680
not real. No, And it's
definitely not real like that, like you

362
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,279
are what you eat, like when
the other thing is alive, It's like,

363
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:21,440
no, what are you talking about? So hey, whatever, he

364
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,759
is a good coach. He is
clearly a good coach. I think what

365
00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:26,519
he did with San Francisco was really
great. What he did with Stanford before

366
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:29,319
that was great. What do you
do with Michigan is great. He's going

367
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,200
to have success wherever he goes.
I think Michigan's going to be fine in

368
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,039
the same way that Ohio State was
fine when Jim Tressel left and then urban

369
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,400
Meyer left even I know Ryan Day
hasn't really had a great success against Michigan.

370
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,000
Ryan Day has still done very well. If Michigan was like like that

371
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,039
for like five years, I'm used
to that. Now. I think they're

372
00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:49,279
going to be kind of going back
and forth with Ohio State for the next

373
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:53,400
fifteen years or so, and I'm
totally fine with that. Youngstown hero Jim

374
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:59,720
Tressel, oh, right, and
then Alex says for Mike's Nerve Damage Recovery

375
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:03,400
Fund, please save us from a
fusion. It was really weird, Like

376
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,519
if I press on my thumb,
it feels like, yeah, it feels

377
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:11,960
kind of crunchy exactly. So it's
it's a nerve. It's not like because

378
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,160
for me it was with a dual
sense, like I just aggravated the skin

379
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,680
underneath to the point where it like
must have became like slightly infected and it

380
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:23,400
hurt to the touch so bad.
It's a bump. Really, is this

381
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,720
something weird about it? Okay?
So that's like it's like I lost some

382
00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:33,160
feeling. It gets numb. My
finger is numb because I was trying to

383
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,400
practice Korean bagdaches and the tip of
your finger gets numb. It's I've been

384
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,039
using a lot of like PlayStation style
deep as lately because I'm playing Tech and

385
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,039
five on a PlayStation five controller.
So yeah, maybe just a deep had

386
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:52,200
heavy lately. You know what sucks. I used to like Fujin. I'm

387
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:55,240
sorry you've lost this, that you've
lost this love for this character. It

388
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:59,440
took fujiin from me. Oh grug
says I never felt my heart right increase

389
00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:03,119
watching one stream a game until yesterday. Is Fuji in the worst boss in

390
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,880
the game you've played? I thought
about that specifically. I think the answer

391
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,359
is yes. I don't think I've
ever fought a worst video game boss more

392
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,440
boring once. Certainly there's bosses that
are so nure, like stupid and why

393
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:18,920
is this even here? But this
is this is insane, This is pure

394
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,519
hell. Yeah, I'd have to
really think about it too, something that

395
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:26,960
that that's that bad. If I
was just fighting like an actual fighting game

396
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:29,799
like CPU, that was kind of
bullshit. A's one thing, but it's

397
00:26:29,799 --> 00:26:33,640
not right insane. Yeah, And
for it to be, I mean,

398
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:37,319
obviously all the stuff stacks on top
of another, for it to be at

399
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:41,000
the end of that level, after
having to learn that level and having lives

400
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:45,319
and continues and like you could still
kind of lose a life here and there

401
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,960
to bullshit in that level and you
get there, and it's just the fact

402
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,640
that the the jump kick did happen
on uh or was it? Did the

403
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,720
jump kick cabbin when you got a
game over? And then also the tornado

404
00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:59,799
happened when you were on your last
life and got a game over at my

405
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,759
you right, that might be right. So frequently be in that position where

406
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:07,079
it's like win now or game over
and start the level. Over All that

407
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,640
stuff stacks to make it so much
more bullshit. Yeah, Connor, what's

408
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:18,480
his minor good news? New celest
content? That's nice. I would I'm

409
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:21,599
kind of at a point where I
don't know if I will we'll check will

410
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,039
or we'll not check out new celest
content. I'm kind of like, you

411
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:26,960
know, I could go for a
Celeste too. It's kind of what I

412
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,920
want. Maybe that's not really in
the cars, I guess maybe depends what

413
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,319
what if this is like you know, Celeste two in spirit, but just

414
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,039
it's not it if it's like a
kind of shovel night, We're sure,

415
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,960
but I don't know if a few
things have updates that extensive. Sure A

416
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,799
good point. Charre Wolf says,
guys, please tell me we see its

417
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,599
new game this year, what do
we think is working on? Because I

418
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:56,000
mean, machine games are teasing Quake
and they probably are making Quake. Why

419
00:27:56,079 --> 00:28:00,440
does why does the whiteboard say Quake
six? Uh? At least in terms

420
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,359
of the actual numbers, there was
only four. There were like other quakes

421
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,279
after four, like Champions. I
just never thought of that as like Quake

422
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,960
five. I wish I could answer. I don't know. I wondered I

423
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,079
would have to like ask the hardcore
quake community if there's an answer to that

424
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:19,359
that I'm not Jeff, I know
you're busy with the Ridge Racer Angle.

425
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:25,279
Thanksful for you to share any details, so out one at a timing thank

426
00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:27,200
you. People are saying quick wake
quick ward. Champions is probably not Nick

427
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,039
Trvis is quick. I don't know. See Champions is five and thriller.

428
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:37,160
That's kind of fun. Who played
Mario Kart two or Great two or the

429
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,000
fuck it is Mario Kart nine?
So well, whatever I mean, I'm

430
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,079
going to call it Quake six.
Anyways, it released, uh the last

431
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,759
Doom Maternal several years ago, right? Yeah? One was Prey too?

432
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:55,599
Was that MB or is that somebody
else? No, pray to Humanhead Studios.

433
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,279
Okay, well no wait no,
no, uh that was human Sorry

434
00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:02,519
I said pray too, I met? Uh god? What was that?

435
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:06,599
Other? Fucked me up pretty bad? There a sequel, the Desert Wasteland

436
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,000
one, I'm sorry, A Rage
two? Rage two? Was that?

437
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,240
It? Rage? That was it? I think? But that was before

438
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,519
Doom, wasn't it? It was
involved, Yes, Avlach and it it

439
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:19,640
might that's right, that was yes? Yeah? Okay, so it's I

440
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,839
mean, listen, it's been long
enough that we guess we could hear something

441
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,279
from it. I honestly haven't.
I haven't really thought about it. What

442
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:29,400
could they be working on? It
would be working on heretic or hexen,

443
00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:32,240
right, Like that would be cool. You know what they should do with

444
00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:37,400
all that? They should just fucking
make it Doom cross Heretic, doom cross

445
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,759
Hexan or something like that, like
make it all kind of connected or something,

446
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,720
at least for one offshoot. That
would be fun. I don't know,

447
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:48,640
I find a bet. Probably just
the next dum Probably that's probably what

448
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,640
it is. Yeah. Uh.
And then Ted Dirk says both hit Man,

449
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,640
Blood Money and the Ace attorney apaula
Justice collection released on Switch this week.

450
00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:59,640
Which should I play first? Oh? That Blood Money collection came out.

451
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,200
Blood Money. It's just blood money. It's hit Man blood blood Money

452
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
men blood money, right right,
right? So it came it came out,

453
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:08,839
I think almost exactly a week ago. I was about to get it,

454
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,279
and then I was like, I'm
gonna hold off until I finished some

455
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:14,519
other stuff. But I was like, I've been looking for some of the

456
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:17,920
play on my Switch. So yeah, that's out and looks it looks pretty

457
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,880
decent. It looks pretty good.
I guess it also had some quality of

458
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,880
life improvements and stuff like. It
feels like a well, uh, it

459
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,400
got some love, is what it
feels like. I do like those Ace

460
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,880
Attorney games a lot. I mean, tho, those are two very different

461
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,039
things. I guess you's got to
ask yourself if you're in the mood for

462
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:40,759
some you know, stealth stuff or
a more visual novel with some adventure game

463
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:42,519
elements thing. I mean, Apaul
Justice is definitely going to last you longer.

464
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:47,880
If that's a concern. That's you
know, three pretty beefy kind of

465
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,720
games in one collection. All right, That is it for super chests for

466
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:56,359
now. If you guys want to
send any more, we will read them

467
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:57,319
before the end of show. Oh
there's one right now, Americle says,

468
00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:03,759
Lions win, grubbing invas. I
guess if the Lions win and I talked

469
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:08,119
to Steph and we like figure some
stuff out. If I can make it

470
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,759
happen, I will. I think
what I'll do is I'll do a week

471
00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:15,279
of streams trying to make enough money
to justify going to Las Vegas for the

472
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:18,920
Super Bowl, and we'll see.
We'll see. That's like a very soft

473
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,839
plan right now, Let's not get
ahead of ourselves. The lines still need

474
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,640
to win. Okay, that does
it for the super chests you said,

475
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,680
Mike, that's it for now.
Thank you, Thank you everybody for sitting

476
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,279
those in. Like Mike said,
if you said anymore, we'll get to

477
00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:33,640
all of them before the end of
the episode. And again, there's something

478
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,079
you want to talk about. The
layofs just kind of blew everything off off

479
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:40,279
the desk for me. But if
there's something that happened in the news you

480
00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:42,640
want to talk about, let me
know. We'll make it happen. All

481
00:31:42,759 --> 00:31:47,039
right, I'm ready to go for
a best game of twenty thirteen. If

482
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:48,319
you are Mike or Christian? Should
we take a break? You tell me

483
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,039
no, no, no, so
just go in to it. Yeah,

484
00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:56,039
all right, So we're gonna also
do we have a we finally have a

485
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,319
gay mess Hall of Fame thing to
do, so we can take a break

486
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,319
between these things. That's right,
all right, everybody, So we're gonna

487
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:06,839
do the Best Games of twenty thirteen
refresher on this. Me and Mike we

488
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,519
picked the five best games of twenty
thirteen. You guys, give some help

489
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:12,400
if you're a podcast producer, and
if you also, if you have a

490
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,680
super chant you want to drop a
suggestion, you can do that as well.

491
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,079
Also, feel free to just throw
them chat. That's fine. We

492
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:20,680
pay attention to that sometimes, all
right, Mike, twenty thirteen, Where

493
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,480
do you want to start? It's
weird because there's some games. There's some

494
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:25,839
really big imporren games here that I
think I really liked at the time,

495
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,319
and not that I think they're bad
games now, but I'm just I'm not

496
00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:31,359
shut the fuck up and sell the
link between Worlds. Look, it's I

497
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:36,039
mean, yes, not that one. That one is only gotten better with

498
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,440
age. Actually, man like,
Between Worlds is so good. It's just

499
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,359
I can't believe that we almost just
got a lead to the past remake it

500
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,559
set of that, because yeah,
it would just be so that'd be good,

501
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,640
but we don't. One we don't
need it, and two a link

502
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,480
between worlds got like between Worlds,
which might be the best of all of

503
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,400
the like old dungeon style z out
of games. I mean, legit is

504
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,359
one of the best games ever made. It is a game when you pick

505
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,599
up you just can't put it down
because it feels so good to play,

506
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:13,359
and it immediately just begins feeding you
great progress and just it's just so well

507
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,680
done. It's so good, and
especially in terms of like back then,

508
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,960
like the old games, Okay,
there's gonna be like some kind of gimmick

509
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,480
that we're gonna play with, and
here it's that like becoming a drawing on

510
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,880
wall things, and it's great.
They squeeze so much juice out of that.

511
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,039
I love the way it gets incorporated
first into that one bus fight that

512
00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:31,200
got the shield, but then in
an even better way in the final buss

513
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:36,119
fight. What a good final boss
fight. Just a ton of fun that

514
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,880
game and really good three D effects, like a game where the three DS

515
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,640
three D stuff was fantastic and kind
of added to it for me. Oh

516
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,559
love that love love, love,
love love absolutely. Do you want to

517
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:50,759
suggest a real one other than the
one I just yelled out there? I

518
00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:52,839
mean that's a very like I guess, like some of these ones. I'm

519
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,440
thinking, what's the one? Oh? Okay, So now, Firearm Blum

520
00:33:55,599 --> 00:34:00,559
Awakening. Is this year a good
year for the three D? Yeah,

521
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,680
was having a good year in the
North North America, that's for sure.

522
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,199
Yeah, everything I said last time
about Fire Emblem Awake Eating It's true.

523
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,679
I think it's still the best.
Fire Emblem did a really good job of

524
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,719
balancing that kind of fun social stuff
with the combat. I think it still

525
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:21,480
has the overall best cast of characters. It was just this really big moment

526
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,119
for the franchise, finally breaking through
and becoming something kind of permanent, right

527
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,880
because on the Cusp but going away
and now it feels like, of course

528
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,639
there's going to be Fire Emblems.
That's just going to be a thing Nintendo

529
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:35,519
will release every once in a while, and a lot of that is due

530
00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:38,679
to the God, most of it's
due to the success of this one game.

531
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,960
Yeah, I think I got I
remember having conversations with you about that

532
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,800
back then, like we must have
been like early relatively earliest game speed days

533
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:50,239
and we were like, yeah,
yeah. The fire roomoment feels like it

534
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,119
is now one of those Nintendo franchises
where you know, it's not Mario and

535
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:58,000
it's not Zelda, but it's right
behind it, and it's like that's still

536
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:00,440
kind of true to this point,
and it did happen with Awake Fire Boom

537
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:05,159
Awakening. Just it does everything right. It's got it does have great tactics,

538
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,079
great battles, really well designed the
characters. I still remember it's on

539
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:14,360
the back of Dragon. I don't
always remember the last fight in a in

540
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,440
a Fire of Them game, honestly, but I always remember that sweet.

541
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,159
And then I mean the the pairing
up system and having kids like that was

542
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,320
awesome. That was so cool,
And it's one of those things where it's

543
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,000
like I know that they that was
like the spin in Fire Boom Awakening,

544
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:35,719
so they're hesitant to like replicate that, and then sometimes they're like, well,

545
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,639
I wish we could just kind of
do that again, So how can

546
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:39,519
we do that in a new way? Kind of wish they would just make

547
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:43,320
that a standard part of Fire of
Them going forward. I like it that

548
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,920
much. Photton in our chest sets
shouldn'tgommy tense. I would four would be

549
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,320
here if it was the Final Fantasy
And you know what pretty funny actually,

550
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,519
but no, I played that whole
game because of all the hype. But

551
00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:58,719
I liked for Sona. I played
like all eighty hours of it or whatever.

552
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,599
It Okay, it was okay,
I'm sorry people love that game,

553
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:10,119
but they do love that game.
All right, I'm gonna go with man,

554
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:14,199
this was the Call of Duty Ghost
here. I'm gonna go Super Mario

555
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,400
three D World. This was weird
for me because you know, I was

556
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,559
initially only so so on this game, and then when that switch version came

557
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:24,880
out, it just had some small
improvements in the whole other timber faster,

558
00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:28,280
that kind of thing, a little
bit faster, you had that kind of

559
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,880
dive jump in. Suddenly I was
just absolutely in love. But it was,

560
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,280
of course still a great game.
Yeah, I you know, I

561
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,159
really did enjoy this playing this by
myself, but then I did I played

562
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:39,719
a lot with Steph and we had
a really good time doing that as well.

563
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,480
That I think that's what's really sold
it for me, is like I

564
00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:46,679
love the way this looks this is
an HD three D Mario game, and

565
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:52,480
it looks fantastic. It's not you
know, it's not Galaxy, but it's

566
00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:54,079
it's doing the thing where it's like, hey, we're afraid of giving camera

567
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:58,960
control over the player still at this
point, So how are we going to

568
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,760
deal with that? We're going to
kind of basically have almost a fixed angle

569
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,119
camera for a lot of these levels. I'm like, you know what,

570
00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:06,960
that's completely fine. They still found
a bunch of ways to make these levels

571
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,519
feel really satisfying, and I like, I still kind of like the idea

572
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:13,440
of just like running through a course
and getting to the end. That still

573
00:37:13,519 --> 00:37:16,559
Mario still has its place even in
three D, and then you know,

574
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:22,000
great music and it really is just
beautiful art designs. So Super Mario three

575
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:23,920
D World got me from the beginning. It does get better on the switch,

576
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,679
it clearly does, but for me, at at the moment, I

577
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,440
was already super in love with this
game. I think at the time,

578
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,199
I think I called it my favorite
Mario game or the best Mario game.

579
00:37:34,639 --> 00:37:36,719
Gave it a ten out of ten
on game speed, all that stuff.

580
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:42,440
I love three D World. What
do what do we do with BioShock Infinite

581
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:47,199
the most quickly reassessed the game in
history. I think absolutely, yeah.

582
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,440
I gave it an eighty nine out
of one hundred. I remember that.

583
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:52,039
I remember. I remember because when
I gave it to eighty nine, it

584
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:53,679
was like, you know, obviously
there was a lot of discourse. I

585
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:57,119
remember Chris Person asked me on Twitter
It's like, yeah, well, what

586
00:37:57,159 --> 00:37:59,079
happened to the one point for it
to get a ninety? And I'm like,

587
00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:00,760
I have I remember like thinking,
I have a rationale for that.

588
00:38:01,039 --> 00:38:06,079
I'm not going to sit there and
actually talk casual racism. That's that stopped

589
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:07,679
it from getting the ninety. Yeah, that was definitely a part of it.

590
00:38:07,679 --> 00:38:13,000
It was also I definitely remember thinking
it was so weird when the twist

591
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,599
was and the people who are fighting
against the oppression are just as bad as

592
00:38:16,639 --> 00:38:20,679
the oppressors. I remember playing the
game, They're like, oh, that's

593
00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:23,480
whack. Okay. There's a lot
of weird things. I remember there's like

594
00:38:23,519 --> 00:38:27,119
what part where there's some guys like, hey, we have those things with

595
00:38:27,199 --> 00:38:30,559
the first bowshok here drink this,
you have b shoot out of your hands?

596
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:35,199
What? Oh okay, they're just
here. I think the thing for

597
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,880
me was that the world felt so
lifeless, like like when you have the

598
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,360
NPCs and stuff, it's like,
oh, it's almost like you were on

599
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,079
a ride and so it and there
was no explanation for other than that's just

600
00:38:46,199 --> 00:38:52,000
video games, and so it felt
like they were putting on this facade that

601
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,880
would have something else behind it,
and it's like, no, they just

602
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,280
are asking you to sort of buy
into that. In a way, that

603
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,320
just didn't feel like they figured out
answer to these things. And I think

604
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880
there's that is true for a lot
of things in that game. I think

605
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,519
they had a bunch of ideas and
they got to a point where it say,

606
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,239
we don't have answers for it,
And I'm part of that is a

607
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,039
shame that, you know, these
games can't get enough time, enough money

608
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,599
to get to that point where it's
like, well we have ideas, let's

609
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:16,840
actually see them through and they have
to like cut them up to cut them

610
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,599
short. But if it really does
suffer from that, I think it's a

611
00:39:20,639 --> 00:39:22,920
fine game. It's still a game
that I bet I would enjoy playing up

612
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,840
to a point, but I don't
really want to put it on my top

613
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:31,440
five here. It was also a
precursor to Multiverse bullshit, And even back

614
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,440
then I thought I resented that.
Wow, So in the beginning, this

615
00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:40,719
game is trying to like be as
critical of you know, patriotism as say,

616
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,079
the first BioShock was of you know, things like capitalism and and you

617
00:39:45,119 --> 00:39:47,159
know things like that. And then
it was just like, I forget that.

618
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,840
Would it be crazy if like there's
a hole and you look, it's

619
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:59,119
still called Revere Revenge of the Jedi
in at the end, Hey, look

620
00:39:59,199 --> 00:40:02,840
we're in wrap. Yeah, it's
like uh uh oh uh oh. There's

621
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,280
an infinite number of these no matter
what. But there's always a lighthouse.

622
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,639
So what what the fuck does any
of that mean? What does that mean?

623
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,719
It doesn't mean anything, It doesn't
mean anything. I had fun play

624
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:15,760
in the game. I really did. Like I asked me, like,

625
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,599
rightmost, I was like, yeah, it was super fun. And then

626
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,000
I just whenever I think of it, I was like, I'm like,

627
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:27,119
eh, something unfortunate about all that
to me? Yeah, it was okay.

628
00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:30,519
Then how about Assassin's Cree for a
Black Flag. That's actually a good

629
00:40:30,559 --> 00:40:35,800
game game I really liked. In
a world where I had infinite time,

630
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,840
I would be replaying that game.
That's that's game that I think I would

631
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,400
really enjoy going back to right now. I mean, you know, the

632
00:40:42,519 --> 00:40:45,360
house creepy stuff, and it was
fine. That stuff was beginning to feel

633
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,920
kind of saving me at this point. But all the sailing really was just

634
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,000
super fun and very intriguing. And
it really was this fun little map,

635
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:55,800
not little map, this fun big
map, a perfectly sized map you had

636
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,960
to sail around and do all this
goofy stuff in right. Yeah, Yeah,

637
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,639
it's uh, they just they really
captured the magic of hey, what

638
00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:08,800
if you were basically a pirate on
the high seas, what would that feel

639
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,920
like? And so well, you
know, I would want to have my

640
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,039
ship and have them singing sea shanties, and then I would see some bullshit

641
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:17,280
shineing in the ocean. I want
to just dive right into it and swim

642
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,280
down and get it and bring it
back up and then and it's like you

643
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,119
could do all that in the game
and it feels really good. It works

644
00:41:23,159 --> 00:41:28,960
really well. The character's got a
lot of that oh cool pirate swagger that

645
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,760
you would want. Yeah, gotta
like. I like Black Flag a whole

646
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:37,039
bunch. It's not it's not my
favorite assassin's Creed. But it's like almost

647
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,599
because it feels so different than I
don't even think about it as an Assassin's

648
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:43,639
Creed game. Yeah, it's just
its own thing. I'd be surprised if

649
00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:46,239
it's not like in anybody's top three. Right. If it isn't it maybe

650
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,400
it's because of that. Man,
how is one Wicker HD? And twenty

651
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,679
thirty? How is the HD update
of win Wacker eleven years old? Now?

652
00:41:54,920 --> 00:42:00,920
Yeah, it's messed up. It's
messed up, honestly. Pickman three

653
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,360
coming out in twenty thirteen's messing me
up a little bit too. Where's this

654
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:05,719
year? Yeah? It's like,
Man, then, I played the Deluxe

655
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,079
once a couple of years ago,
so that game feels like really fresh in

656
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,480
my mind. And I remember reviewing
that game as well. God, I

657
00:42:09,519 --> 00:42:14,000
was reviewing a lot of games this
year. Uh yeah, Pickman three,

658
00:42:14,039 --> 00:42:16,079
I definitely think about that one a
lot, which I played it out,

659
00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:20,039
and I'm now I resent myself for
not having done that. Yeah, I'm

660
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:22,639
gonna put it on the list for
consideration. It is good, but it's

661
00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:24,840
not deluxe, so we'll put on
there for now. It'll have a tough

662
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:30,159
time making it. What do we
do about the last of us. I

663
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:32,360
don't know. I'm like, you
tell me it's a very good game.

664
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,280
I mean, like the way I
feel about it is colored by a lot

665
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,800
of things. I'd have very little
to do with that game, to be

666
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,639
honest. Sure I think it'd be
I think it'd be a little so it's

667
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,000
not consider it. It was very
well done. I don't like the I

668
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,639
don't specifically like this thing having to
become franchised and like become some giant media

669
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,360
property. But that hey, we've
seen what happens with the Walking Dead,

670
00:42:54,599 --> 00:42:59,039
right, people just love zombies,
they say that. But it was very

671
00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:02,119
well done it Obviously there was something
to a game just taking itself that seriously,

672
00:43:02,159 --> 00:43:06,400
I suppose, right, yeah,
there definitely was. Yeah, I

673
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,440
think at people struggle to do that
for a long time. Yeah, I

674
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:14,639
think it is a game that is
worth recognizing as being able to bring in

675
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:19,760
a certain different kind of person who
wanted their once their media to feel very

676
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,960
adult, and this game does scream
I'm an adult, and that turns me

677
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,440
away a little bit. But that
that's like maybe almost maybe something wrong with

678
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:31,280
me. Like I'm not saying,
yeah, I'm not holding against the game.

679
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,760
I'm glad it's out there doing its
thing. I want people who want

680
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,519
that to have like media serving them. They don't get a lot of those

681
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:40,000
options in video games still to this
day. It's not like, oh,

682
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:45,280
here's another great alternative to the last
of Us, so keeping it, Yeah,

683
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,679
exactly, I'm willing to like put
it on the for consideration one.

684
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,400
Yeah, let's do that. Okay, let's do that. Let's see.

685
00:43:55,679 --> 00:44:02,239
Uh, which which tun came out
in twenty thirteen would have probably just been

686
00:44:02,599 --> 00:44:05,800
tom Rader, right, yeah,
just tom Rader, right, just the

687
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,679
one called tomb Raider. Yep,
that one did come out this year.

688
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,519
I did like that, I think
a lot more my love is for its

689
00:44:10,519 --> 00:44:15,719
sequel. Yeah, me too.
I like Rise right and uh, I

690
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,559
think tom Rader also takes this out
very seriously, so a little too much

691
00:44:20,599 --> 00:44:22,440
for what Tom Rader is. I
think, I mean, Ryce takes itself

692
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,079
pretty seriously too. But I felt
like it worked a little bit better there.

693
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,239
I don't know. I did like
this game. I don't know ifre's

694
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:34,880
anything super like special about it right
now? I agree, I think that's

695
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:40,039
right. God, did you like
Taraway? I never played ter Away,

696
00:44:40,079 --> 00:44:44,000
and I always regretted that, but
I know people really talked that one up.

697
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:45,719
I liked it. I maybe don't
like it clays a bunch of some

698
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,599
people, to be honest, but
I definitely did enjoy playing that a lot

699
00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:52,519
when it was on Vita, especially
on Vita because it was using all the

700
00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:57,719
bullshit on there at the camera and
the back touch pad and all that fun

701
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,400
stuff. It worked for me.
It was good stuff. All right.

702
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:08,440
Let's see here, Luigi just mentioned
Dark Moon No thank You Legends. Ooh,

703
00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:13,239
that's a good one. That's actually, that's actually a really good game.

704
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,119
It's better than Origins, right,
I think so, I think so,

705
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,880
Yeah, they're both really good.
They are really good. Yeah,

706
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,559
but it's better than Origins. It's
different. It's different in all the right

707
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:30,159
ways from Mario where it has the
floatingess to the jump, so it makes

708
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:35,719
up for it with a lot more
animation that makes the floating us look right,

709
00:45:36,039 --> 00:45:39,320
and it feels a really good and
that enables you to not be not

710
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:45,159
necessarily a precision platformer unless you unless
you aren't, lets you want to play

711
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:46,639
it that way, and you still
can. You could do these really precise

712
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:52,280
jumps still, and then it's so
detailed in HD and they have the camera

713
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,880
pulled back, that it worked really
well as a four player game in a

714
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:59,320
way that the Mario games, the
Mario two D Mario games never actually really

715
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:04,039
figured out until Wonder and that's old
God. I guess that only works an

716
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:06,599
online still to this day because the
camera doesn't know who to follow. So

717
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:10,440
really, yeah, better than Mario
ever has Raymond legends very very good.

718
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,960
Do you think the Pokemon freaks are
going to try to suggest X and Y

719
00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:19,440
or do you think they feel shamed? Sometimes? Well, they're completely shameless,

720
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:25,440
we know that. I do think
that. I think they're also a

721
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,880
bit stated, right that we gave
them one last time, right, not

722
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,280
last time? Well, we gave
them one couple of times ago. We

723
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,239
gave them one. They got their
one exactly, then they made a good

724
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,480
one. We put it on here, no joking, like have you Papers

725
00:46:37,519 --> 00:46:40,320
Please? Are Gone Home? A
deep shame that I haven't played either.

726
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:45,079
I should play Gone Home because of
how much I love fraternity over Den.

727
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,440
I'm sure Papers Please? Yeah,
I played Papers Please, and I did

728
00:46:47,519 --> 00:46:51,039
like it. I don't know if
I quite got it or played enough of

729
00:46:51,039 --> 00:46:54,719
it to really feel what other people
are feeling. Something I would actually like

730
00:46:54,760 --> 00:47:00,599
to revisit someday. To be honest, grant that Botto five f came out

731
00:47:00,599 --> 00:47:07,400
this year. Yeah, I do
so I want to beaten to be honest,

732
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:08,719
I remember, yeah, yeah,
I mean, we do this every

733
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:13,519
time, but we're just we're not
huge Grand Theft Auto people. I respect

734
00:47:13,559 --> 00:47:15,920
it. I well, in some
ways, I admire how much work and

735
00:47:16,159 --> 00:47:19,639
artistics, you know, artists and
all that stuff that has to go into

736
00:47:19,639 --> 00:47:22,880
making a Grand Theft Auto. There
is something to be said for just making

737
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,800
the biggest game and having it all
work and be fun. But there,

738
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,719
you know, there is also something
about Grandft Auto I don't need to explain

739
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:34,800
that could sometimes be off putting and
weird. Yeah, and it's Grand Theft

740
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,440
Auto was always a mess around game
for me, but that started Grand Theft

741
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,119
Auto three, and that's what I
always come these games for. And it's

742
00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:43,480
like, by the time Grand Theft
Auto five was on the scene, there

743
00:47:43,519 --> 00:47:46,559
were other open world games where it
was easier to mess around and have one.

744
00:47:46,639 --> 00:47:50,639
Now, there's still something to be
said for messing around Grand Theft Auto

745
00:47:50,639 --> 00:47:54,400
where it's like the world is still
mostly pretty grounded. Yeah, yeah,

746
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,199
I mean it's Grand Theft Auto and
it's absurdist in a lot of ways,

747
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:02,840
but it's not Saints and it's not
just Cause, so like the like when

748
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,400
you do really make things go crazy
and you're causing explosions and things are flying

749
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:12,960
through the air, it has more
of an impact. And yet I think

750
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,840
I probably still had fun more fun
with just Cause in Saints Row for at

751
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:20,000
this point. So yeah, saying
that, though I don't necessarily know if

752
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,719
I'm going to try to get Santsro
four in there. I love I got

753
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:25,840
Saints Or of the Third in there
right last time, so a couple times

754
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:30,840
before. I'm not going to try
to get Sansoro four in here, although

755
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,760
I really do enjoy Santsro four quite
a bit. That's the one that has

756
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:40,000
the great storytelling of these these legacy
characters meeting like growing up and then traveling

757
00:48:40,199 --> 00:48:43,960
in time in such a way where
they are like the other in a digital

758
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,320
world and they meet the younger versions
of themselves from like Santsro one and two

759
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,880
and like having to have the like
realize how they used to be really shitty

760
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,559
people and stuff like that, and
the writing was really good. I recommend

761
00:48:53,559 --> 00:48:57,360
playing it especially I never really played
Centtro one and two, and I still

762
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,440
got a lot out of that.
But yeah, uh oh shit, oh

763
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:06,320
god, KiB we almost forgot this
number one. We almost forgot the number

764
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:13,880
one. Jeff fucking Knack. Oh
my Nack files are out there. Let's

765
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,039
go. This is the p S
four and Xbox one launch. Here.

766
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:21,559
Here's god Man all right, so
that means rise as well, Rise Son

767
00:49:21,599 --> 00:49:23,760
of Rome. Let's go. We
got to do a next series play through.

768
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,920
Yeah, we really should, like
what's wrong with us? God?

769
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,920
I wish they would put that on
on on Steam. They won't. It's

770
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,119
probably not worth it. But remember
remote play, it would work way better

771
00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:37,960
than that PlayStation remote place. So
we should just get together and play that

772
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:43,440
game in person. Yeah. Remember
remember how bad freaking what the sack boy

773
00:49:43,559 --> 00:49:47,239
sold one? We never knew worst
if we got Nack on there, But

774
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:52,039
I would I would buy it.
I would. I would even accept the

775
00:49:52,079 --> 00:49:54,800
code. I would sp I would
spend my own money on that. Right,

776
00:49:55,079 --> 00:49:58,760
Maybe are on a point where should
start seeing what the community suggests.

777
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,360
Yeah, that feels right, feels
real? Let me uh bounce? So

778
00:50:01,559 --> 00:50:04,480
you know, I think I have
it set up there? We go?

779
00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:07,559
Yeah, it's already set up there? We go? Okay, uh bench

780
00:50:07,679 --> 00:50:13,840
JC says it Zelda a link between
worlds correctly, Thank you, ben Oh.

781
00:50:14,159 --> 00:50:16,800
Tommy Pencil says DMC Devil May Cry. I really like this game.

782
00:50:17,079 --> 00:50:21,599
I saw that on there. It
was I was so confused when for a

783
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:24,760
while people acted like this was like
one of the worst games ever because they

784
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:31,760
change the characterization sounds. I don't
know. I mean, DMC fans are

785
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:37,519
just wild and out there. They're
just they're just crazy. And if you

786
00:50:37,519 --> 00:50:40,400
still hate this game, whatever,
I think it's fantastic. It's really I

787
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,880
don't know if I like, I
love it that much and I'm going to

788
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,360
put on a top five, but
yeah, it's good. I remember hting,

789
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,280
I remember hating Dante on the older
games, and this Dante like then

790
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:58,679
they brought like this Dante's like knows
what's going on. The older Dante was

791
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,480
just yeah, he's a clown kind
of he's a clown people clown fuckers,

792
00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:06,960
So you know they like that.
God, we're surrounded by clown fuckers.

793
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,519
That's when he's dancing like Michael Jackson. Also for New reasons. That's so

794
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:15,639
wacky, like a little bit of
that energy sometimes and that's like sure,

795
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:21,079
yeah, sometimes I go with it. Our tunaway. Yeah, I'd like

796
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:23,519
that you keep going to that character
voice tonight, Mike. It's we're getting

797
00:51:23,519 --> 00:51:27,239
a lot of biology out of that. Oh, these guys, they don't

798
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,599
know who's doing there. It's very
twenty thirteen. I guess, yeah,

799
00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:34,480
I guess so. Cranch's MC basketball
says Grand Theft Auto five, Dean Bulling

800
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,760
says Raymond Legends. I said Raymond
Raymond Legends. Nick Turbo says Super Mario

801
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,599
three D World, so far,
so good. Joy Z says Kentucky Rod

802
00:51:42,679 --> 00:51:45,480
Zero. I played the first I
couldn't get into it, like you played

803
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,920
all this. This was one of
our first game club games. This was

804
00:51:49,039 --> 00:51:52,840
not for me. Yeah, yeah, it was a long Yeah, it

805
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,440
wasn't for me either. I think
that's when I realized how long long it

806
00:51:55,519 --> 00:51:57,960
was. It's like, oh,
I have to bounce out of this.

807
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,119
It's just not much. Look,
I mean, obviously there's a market for

808
00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:04,159
end there's a I totally see,
you know a place for these kind of

809
00:52:04,159 --> 00:52:07,400
games that are very light on the
actual gameplay elements. There's something we said

810
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:13,679
about mildly interactive stories. That's fine, just not really my thing. This

811
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,559
is what I need to go back
to etn the Goba Girl, which is

812
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:22,639
a great name. But Goba Girl
says New super Ma Luigi You, which

813
00:52:22,679 --> 00:52:27,440
is like that hard mode version of
New Super Mario Brothers You that has one

814
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,960
hundred second timer. Listen. I
did not like it at the time.

815
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,639
This is why I need to go
back to it. I remember disliking this

816
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:36,760
and be like, why the timers
like one of the dumbest things about Super

817
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,719
Mario Brothers. Now at the end
of the year twenty thirteen, why would

818
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,960
you make a game based on a
one hundred second timer? This sucks?

819
00:52:44,519 --> 00:52:45,760
But I wonder, for like,
now that we have Mario say, don't

820
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,280
have the timer anymore, if I
can go back and appreciate this really weird,

821
00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:53,679
annoying version of the game. I
played it when the Switch version came

822
00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:57,480
out. I don't know, it
didn't necessarily feel all that different to me.

823
00:52:57,559 --> 00:52:59,719
It still just felt like enough time. It was just like I was

824
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,119
playing I think Super Mario Brothers You. I don't know, no fair enough?

825
00:53:02,159 --> 00:53:07,000
Did it change it up that much? Terryoaky Blues says, papers please

826
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,639
there it is. Lobotron says Company
of Heroes Too. I wish I had

827
00:53:10,639 --> 00:53:15,079
time for a company of Heroes Lifestyle. I know people really really love that

828
00:53:15,199 --> 00:53:19,119
ARTI third one is that coming out
this year, that come out last year,

829
00:53:19,159 --> 00:53:22,079
that came out last year. Yeah, yep, and it did kind

830
00:53:22,119 --> 00:53:24,920
of come and go. It did
kind of come and go. Pseudo Garudo

831
00:53:25,039 --> 00:53:29,079
says The Stanley Parable. I like
that game. Oh, I do like

832
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,599
that game. That is a very
twenty thirteen game to me. Yeah,

833
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:38,320
you know, I you know,
Voidberger did that video about The Stanley Parable

834
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:43,039
director's cut that made me realize,
oh, it is a completely different game,

835
00:53:43,679 --> 00:53:46,199
and I should go and play that
because I really enjoyed The Stanley Parable.

836
00:53:46,599 --> 00:53:49,960
Yeah, I would even put I'd
even consider it. I don't know

837
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,880
if you feel that strong about but
I like the Steely I'm talking with that.

838
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,639
Yeah, let's give it a shot, all right, Let mean just

839
00:53:53,639 --> 00:54:04,920
do that real quick. Where did
I put that Stanley Terrible Terrible pa BioShock

840
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,920
Infinite that's from two time champ beef
Hammer Jamie h Christmas Eve says Guacamelee.

841
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:14,199
Mike, I've never played Guacamele.
Guacamele is very good. It was kind

842
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:20,159
of it was kind of in this
spot when we were right before that resurgence

843
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,199
of that we would get with.
It was in the gully, yeah,

844
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:28,760
right right before we had basically Orion
Hollow Night come outs. And I think

845
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,400
it's sequels probably been a lot of
ways. It's bigger. The co op

846
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,599
is fun. Guangamele is a very
fun play through. I do like it

847
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,440
a lot. I don't know if
it's quite gonna be top five stuff for

848
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,639
me, but it was a cool
game. Low Rules, says Pickman three.

849
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:46,079
Alex at Gogo says Metro Last Light
gah Man, Metro Lastly is that

850
00:54:46,159 --> 00:54:49,559
the last one? I don't know. I thought there was a Metro game

851
00:54:49,599 --> 00:54:51,679
on the list last year and I
was like, I never played one of

852
00:54:51,679 --> 00:54:57,559
these. Yeah, maybe maybe we're
getting the releases mixed up a little bit.

853
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,880
Klaus, you know there was a
Metro traf for this. There had

854
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:05,679
to be. Klaus Rainer says Anti
Chamber. That's a good one. Yeah,

855
00:55:05,679 --> 00:55:08,800
Metro Exodus is three, thank you. Anti Chamber is one of those

856
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:15,519
non Euclidean geometry sort of you know, you look at something, oh yeah,

857
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:17,360
and this is a very good one
of those. It is, you

858
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:23,320
know, simple if I felt like
pretty sparse, but I did remember really

859
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:30,519
enjoying this casual says Pigment three.
Uh Technical five says metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

860
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,039
WHOA, yes, I'm looking that's
twenty thirteen. Oh god, oh

861
00:55:35,119 --> 00:55:42,199
yes, absolutely that game rules and
it somehow has aged incredibly well. Like

862
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,159
I played it again, I think
last year, a couple of years ago

863
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,440
because of the game Club again,
but I played it back then even It

864
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:53,000
is just so much fun, just
such a delightful, fast paced play through.

865
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:59,400
The cutting is great, boss music, all the boss songs, incredible

866
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,920
soundtrack, fantastic is platinum at the
higher their powers. I just finished playing

867
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:08,599
Vanquish last night. They were so
good at this moment. Uh input name

868
00:56:08,639 --> 00:56:13,800
here is his fire em Boom Awakening
and has a uh picture picture a picture

869
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,599
of their wife who I think Hammett
of Texas says Splinter Cell Blacklist. I

870
00:56:17,639 --> 00:56:21,159
remember enjoying this game for what I
played it, but I didn't play all

871
00:56:21,159 --> 00:56:23,440
of it for sure. Uh.
But the one of these splenter cells that

872
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,760
came out this time, maybe Conviction
maybe it was. It was one of

873
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,920
them that was just basically a third
person shooter and it had like the Dead

874
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,960
Eye from Red Dead Redemption, And
I think that's they kept having giant like

875
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,880
words fasted on walls and stuff to
like tell you what to do or have.

876
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:44,440
That's conviction. I think so,
man, I should replay the entire

877
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:45,920
splinter Cell serious good. I wish
I had all the time in the world.

878
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,480
I maybe want to play the first
three. I don't know about well.

879
00:56:49,519 --> 00:56:52,159
I want to play the Bad Ones
too. Villain Max says Rogue Legacy,

880
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,920
not a Rogue Legacy, Guy,
I know the Rogue Legacy people are

881
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,079
out there and are down to clown
with this game. I did like Rogue

882
00:56:59,159 --> 00:57:02,480
Legacy. This was I think the
first time I really played something that was

883
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:07,079
a rogue Like right, it's like
exactly what that franchise would be in terms

884
00:57:07,079 --> 00:57:09,519
of you die a bunch and then
you go, I mean as the word

885
00:57:09,599 --> 00:57:13,519
rogue in the name. Even right, it was still so novel. Then

886
00:57:14,079 --> 00:57:16,480
this game was really fun. It
kind of gets overshadowed by other games in

887
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:21,440
the series. Heck, even its
sequel feels like it got overshadowed by things

888
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,599
like Dead Cells. Dead Cells.
Still, I did like Real g Lagacy

889
00:57:23,679 --> 00:57:30,320
a lot. Matt Rare Monkey says
Doda too. Man, I played Doda

890
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:35,639
two is like I don't I can
say. At one point in twenty thirteen.

891
00:57:35,679 --> 00:57:37,880
I go s where people were like
talking about Doda to a little bit

892
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,280
before twenty thirteen. I don't know, because we had Big of Legends for

893
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:45,639
a while, yeah, which I
mean, I'm more comfortable playing a League

894
00:57:45,639 --> 00:57:47,400
of Legends. Even that's a lot. Doda two is so much. It's

895
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:52,360
a lot. I'm actually kind of
shot at a game that complicated got that

896
00:57:52,519 --> 00:57:55,400
popular because it's a lot. Yeah. I mean, it's definitely one of

897
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,599
those things where it's like it reminds
you like, yeah, it's something could

898
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:02,480
be so o two and yet if
there's something in there that makes people makes

899
00:58:02,519 --> 00:58:07,159
it worth their while, or maybe
sometimes because of how much arcane stuff there

900
00:58:07,199 --> 00:58:13,199
is to learn about it. Yeah, I fucking knew one of you is

901
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:15,320
going to make that joke as soon
as I said the word arcane. You

902
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:19,679
might have noticed my hesitation after I
said it. This is the game that

903
00:58:19,719 --> 00:58:22,639
Brad Schumacher famously says, like,
you can play for a thousand hours and

904
00:58:22,639 --> 00:58:27,119
that's when you'll begin to understand the
game. And I'm like, oh no,

905
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:31,920
thank you. Chaos Buckerus has gone
home. Alan Arkle says Middle Gear

906
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,480
Rising Revengeance. I don't want to
talk about gone Home. Huh. I

907
00:58:37,079 --> 00:58:39,440
never played Gone Home. That's the
walking simular. But I know what,

908
00:58:39,679 --> 00:58:42,719
I know what Gone Home is.
I mean, yeah, I just never

909
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,119
played it. Yeah, I mean, I know it's a wonder. Can

910
00:58:45,239 --> 00:58:54,840
ask me you're not a lesbian?
Well, students are allowed to like that

911
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:59,480
game? But you know what,
that's fair? No, do you like

912
00:58:59,519 --> 00:59:01,000
Gone Home? I mentioned it earlier. The reason I inded you want to

913
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,079
talk about it is because I mentioned
it earlier and you didn't say shit.

914
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,519
So I just figured we had already
gone through that, all right, Doctor

915
00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:14,320
Ryan says the last of us.
Uh. Doctor Lynch says, Shadow Run

916
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:19,559
returns. I wish that I had
played this game because it's one of those

917
00:59:19,559 --> 00:59:22,599
ones I do not think you could
play anymore in any way unless maybe maybe

918
00:59:22,599 --> 00:59:27,199
there's like maybe there's like custom servers. It seemed like really weird and strange,

919
00:59:27,199 --> 00:59:29,920
and it's one of those early games
that had cross play between PC and

920
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:34,400
console, which I would have spent
more time with him Octosis cul of Wres

921
00:59:34,679 --> 00:59:40,199
Gunslinger in any of these games.
My one print magazine review is in an

922
00:59:40,199 --> 00:59:45,519
EGM that has I think the Call
Wars before this on the cover. That's

923
00:59:45,559 --> 00:59:50,679
my entire association with the series.
Screaming Madden says Super Mario three D World,

924
00:59:50,719 --> 00:59:53,679
where there is a picture of matt
and pasted to Mario's face. I

925
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:59,119
like it. Show g Cotis is
grand Theft Auto five, Oh shit,

926
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,440
Tears of the Boot of robs a
Bank says flappy Bird. Jeff, We're

927
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,880
not putting flappy Bird on the god, but it is one of the best

928
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:10,480
five games of the year though.
It's just not absolutely so good about your

929
01:00:10,519 --> 01:00:15,599
weird fascination with Flappy Bird back then. I had to deal with it.

930
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:19,280
No, absolutely, it's because I'm
right. That's what you have to be

931
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,440
polite about it. You don't embarrass
yourself, Bike. You don't embarrass yourself

932
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:30,039
by talking about Flappy Bird. Absolutely
not. Slain says Assassin's Creed for skulling

933
01:00:30,119 --> 01:00:37,280
By was just like, yeah,
that game's coming out finally, and Chance

934
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,480
got it. Chance got it for
fantasy critics, So have one with that.

935
01:00:42,079 --> 01:00:44,639
I think I counter picked it,
right, I think you did.

936
01:00:44,719 --> 01:00:51,199
Yeah, hosp says steam World Dig
A fistful of dirt. Mister Buller says,

937
01:00:51,239 --> 01:00:53,199
oh, Monaco, what's what's yours? Is? Mind? You don't

938
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:58,159
talk about steam World ticularve steam World
Dig I guess you like the second one.

939
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,199
I like the second one. I
didn't. I didn't really of the

940
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,239
first one all that much. But
yeah, it's a It's a good game,

941
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:07,800
for sure, but another dirt game, another digging dirt game, Monica,

942
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,119
what's yours is? Mind? Is
a heist game? And you know

943
01:01:09,159 --> 01:01:15,519
who should play this? The fucking
connectivity cam padres even have the colors,

944
01:01:15,039 --> 01:01:20,239
right, Yeah, exactly, this
is Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna have

945
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,519
to remind myself. I'm gonnayell at
Google here. I'll meete myself in a

946
01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:28,679
second and do that. Uh.
Cririsis says Ryan to hell Retribution so messed

947
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,000
up? That game? Is that
like that new? I guess like twentyo

948
01:01:31,079 --> 01:01:36,039
thirteen. It looks like such an
early Xbox three sixty game. Uh it's

949
01:01:36,119 --> 01:01:37,960
upsetting. Yeah, I mean that's
the thing that like every time we would

950
01:01:38,239 --> 01:01:40,760
start talking about the combat whatever,
Dan be like, yep, that was

951
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,880
like five years after Batman Arkham whatever. It was like three years after that.

952
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,280
But still it's a while. It's
wild that that game is that new.

953
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,039
Uh. Big Tony the Final Fantasy
Guy says him, and got me

954
01:01:52,079 --> 01:01:59,320
ten SI four Nintendo Yacht Cube says
Super Mario three D World, RT Bick

955
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:07,039
says tomb Louis fifty four sixty eight
says Disney Infinity. My brother A J.

956
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,320
Love Disney Infinity. I like had
some fue with it. I wish

957
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:15,119
that the games were like more interesting, right. They all basically play like

958
01:02:15,159 --> 01:02:17,519
those lego games where there's a lot
of charm, but the game itself is

959
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:23,119
so simple. It's basically like the
world's simplest brawler. Right. Every character

960
01:02:23,159 --> 01:02:27,719
has like a three punch combo,
and then you jump around on stuff.

961
01:02:28,639 --> 01:02:30,079
There's a little bit more going on
in the create mode. Stuff could be

962
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:35,719
interesting. I suppose I like the
idea of a Disney Toys the life thing.

963
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,440
I think they did a good job
with it. I think it's probably

964
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,679
one of the better ones of that
time. But I this is a bit

965
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:45,840
more exciting to actually play. I
put I put a nerd Emochi here on

966
01:02:45,039 --> 01:02:50,119
Louis's post for Disney Infinity. But
I enjoyed Disney Infinity. I actually had

967
01:02:50,159 --> 01:02:52,880
some fun with that, So it's
a fine game. Oh Man Bop World

968
01:02:52,920 --> 01:03:00,440
says the NCAA Football fourteen. Yeah, that was the last football game for

969
01:03:00,519 --> 01:03:04,519
college football from EA until next year, right, I guess we're getting one

970
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:08,440
next year probably, so yeah.
DMC depressed me crying, says the legend

971
01:03:08,519 --> 01:03:12,559
was Delda win Waker HD. I
want to put it on the list,

972
01:03:12,639 --> 01:03:20,280
Mike, I don't think we should
do H like you know remasters HD some

973
01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:22,079
You know, it's the same reason
why I didn't really include bet Trait Prime

974
01:03:22,199 --> 01:03:24,840
Remastered on my list last year,
Like it's a betray Prime. That's just

975
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:30,239
cheating. People are saying that leak
to delayed. No, okay, I

976
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:34,440
just forgot. Yes, the NSAA
game is coming out this year. Yeah.

977
01:03:34,519 --> 01:03:37,400
Yeah, we just take a really
good game and make it HD and

978
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:38,719
then put it on the list again. I think we probably put win Waker

979
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:43,320
ons are different than remakes, everybody
understands. Don't come at me with that.

980
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:49,159
S WSP says, ridiculous fishing.
I never played this. I did

981
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,719
follow a little bit of the drama
around it, how it got like cloned

982
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,760
a bunch and it was a big
bummer for the people making it, you

983
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,239
know. I actually I think I
did play a little bit of it.

984
01:03:55,320 --> 01:04:01,480
So it's a good game. Wrong
Wong GIFs says, ye'es and then a

985
01:04:01,519 --> 01:04:04,440
bunch of words. But I want
to hear you pronounce these words. I'm

986
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:09,280
excited. I can't even it's like
it's cursty like. Oh, it's his

987
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:15,039
memories, memories of cal Getta,
sell SaaS right, Ketta col Ketta.

988
01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:20,119
Yeah, I actually just couldn't see
that memories actually Playla one. This is

989
01:04:20,119 --> 01:04:23,880
the only one I beat. Actually, this was the Beatle one. It

990
01:04:24,039 --> 01:04:29,559
was fun. It's a little simple, but it was satisfying enough. How

991
01:04:29,599 --> 01:04:30,719
do you how do you say the
name of the game, like just the

992
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:35,440
normal name of the games? He's
nuts, Mike, trying to help you.

993
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,880
I'm sorry, you've been through enough
this week. I don't know what's

994
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:45,800
wrong with me. Incredible always be
clothing, slash card, he says,

995
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,400
middle Gear Rising revengeance, Uh do, middle Crossing says grand theft Auto five,

996
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:56,480
Bradfish says Shaven mcgomby ten say four. Uh clink says Bubbsy three d.

997
01:04:56,559 --> 01:05:00,760
Bubbsy, Oh yeah, Bubbsy visits
the James Turtle Retrospective. This is

998
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,400
bubbs three d dot com. Yeah. We gotta do this sometimes. Yeah,

999
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,440
but I did it on my own
time. But we could do it

1000
01:05:06,519 --> 01:05:11,599
on the site for sure, uh
warrizzle, But for people don't know,

1001
01:05:11,719 --> 01:05:14,000
just go to Bubs three d dot
com. I think you could still play

1002
01:05:14,039 --> 01:05:17,320
it. I believe it still works. It's just Bubbs three d, but

1003
01:05:18,079 --> 01:05:24,400
a absurdist take on it that actually
has you visiting James Terrell's art that's been

1004
01:05:24,599 --> 01:05:30,320
that's been a specific I think it
might be. Yes, Yes, it's

1005
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:34,239
definitely like a well known it's typicitely
A well known video game designer. Warrizzle

1006
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:39,760
says, uh, god bit Trip, Yeah, bitch represents runner to future

1007
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:44,199
legend of Rhythm Alien. I don't
know that. Oh that game with that

1008
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:48,519
guy. Yeah, bit Trip,
Yes, Trip was a lot of stuff

1009
01:05:48,559 --> 01:05:51,159
back then. I never played many
of the bit Trip games. Actually,

1010
01:05:51,639 --> 01:05:55,840
God Bit Trip. I thought about
Bit Trip in a while. Uh.

1011
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,920
Sarahs Kane says, Dragon's Crown the
game is not on switched for some reason.

1012
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,119
Yeah, like I want to place
Dragon's Crown now. I was always

1013
01:06:02,119 --> 01:06:06,679
a little off put by those ridiculous
character designs like I'm about, but they

1014
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:11,079
do look they don't look offensive,
to be clear, I don't maybe they

1015
01:06:11,119 --> 01:06:15,480
are, but they look stupid.
They look bad, They're ugly. I

1016
01:06:15,639 --> 01:06:20,760
like the lad these thighs. Yeah, everyone likes the size that game was.

1017
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,800
It was definitely. Huh uh.
The game looks like it plays pretty

1018
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,000
well. Though it looks like a
good game. Man, I just never

1019
01:06:28,079 --> 01:06:30,639
play games. I wish it would
come out at least on Steam. Jesus

1020
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:35,039
Uh. Vision forty nine says is
alda link between worlds. Spooky Dad says

1021
01:06:35,079 --> 01:06:43,280
DMC depressed me or DMC Devil may
Cry was to brest me crying. Coxtover

1022
01:06:43,719 --> 01:06:47,840
says Marvel. Puzzle Quest, Uh
did you puzzle quest? Person? After

1023
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,800
ques? The first puzzle quest?
I think I made us considerate in that

1024
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,719
year, but all the sequels has
been offs, never quite hit the same

1025
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:59,559
for me. Warden Quiff says if
Phoenix Right as Attorney Dual Destinies, I

1026
01:06:59,679 --> 01:07:03,119
did like Dual Destinies. It was
a kind of fun return after the previous

1027
01:07:03,239 --> 01:07:09,559
one, like turned turned Phoenix right
into some weird I haven't know what you

1028
01:07:09,639 --> 01:07:13,239
call the character. It was a
complete character change, and you know it's

1029
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,519
not so much that he wasn't the
main character whatever, but I was glad

1030
01:07:15,559 --> 01:07:17,280
to like do the thing where it's
like, okay, now him and Apollo

1031
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,559
are the main characters. Then we
have this new character Athena psychs that I

1032
01:07:21,039 --> 01:07:25,559
like, like it didn't disown the
previous game, but it still brought back

1033
01:07:25,679 --> 01:07:28,719
enough from the other games that was
neat and worked for me. I think

1034
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,559
the sequel, Spirit of Justice is
maybe even better. But Dual Destinies had

1035
01:07:31,639 --> 01:07:36,280
some very good cases that I still
remember. I do like it a lot.

1036
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:41,679
Maybe not top five stuff, maybe
not like one of the best Ace

1037
01:07:41,719 --> 01:07:45,039
Attorney games, but I had a
good time with it. Testing nine nine,

1038
01:07:45,079 --> 01:07:51,079
says Europa Univeralis of four four at
Versallas. Excuse me, universalis this

1039
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:56,199
is a grand strategy for X.
I think it's like, I think it

1040
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,280
still has a lot of four X
stuff, but then there's a lot more

1041
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,440
continuation of lineage and stuff that's paradox
always does. Just look at this picture.

1042
01:08:03,519 --> 01:08:06,360
This is just nothing but colonization.
Huh. That's like, yeah,

1043
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:10,599
I mean colonization the game. I
mean that's it's deep in our bones as

1044
01:08:10,639 --> 01:08:15,600
Europeans. Lenny Cool Dick Denver says
Fire and Bloom Awakening Lenny Cool, Dick

1045
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,439
Denver. I saw your name on
Giant Bomb, Lenny Cool d Yeah,

1046
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:24,920
I saw. I was like,
does he try to be like polite on

1047
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,600
Giant Bomb or is like that with
the data is on there? Yeah?

1048
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,359
To do me uh. Willow davis
Is says Animal Crossing, New Leaf.

1049
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,119
I Mike, if I could get
away with it, I would want to

1050
01:08:35,199 --> 01:08:38,279
consider this. Do you think there's
a chance I can get this in the

1051
01:08:38,359 --> 01:08:41,359
top five? And it was a
good year for the three ds? Ah,

1052
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,880
there, maybe there's a lot of
very good three DS games were already

1053
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,079
getting Yeah, yeah, definitely this. I think this is probably still my

1054
01:08:47,119 --> 01:08:51,800
favorite Animal Crossing. It's really really
good. But yeah, this is undisputed

1055
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:56,680
best year for the three D though, my god, absolutely game Cube Chris

1056
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,680
says Ducktails Remastered. You know,
I never actually like played that much of

1057
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:06,319
this version of the Kid, I
know, Fuck me. I do you

1058
01:09:06,359 --> 01:09:11,399
know how it's mostly considered? Is
it like mostly because there's susial was a

1059
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,920
mildly muted when it came out.
I forget why, But I don't know,

1060
01:09:15,079 --> 01:09:16,479
actually not sure. I bet people. I think people like it.

1061
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:18,840
I think a lot of people are
like, oh, I'm going to play

1062
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,000
the original now again. But it
was fun to play through this once.

1063
01:09:23,359 --> 01:09:27,000
Uh, speaking of things people like, Weisman says Army of Tool the Devil's

1064
01:09:27,079 --> 01:09:30,439
Cartel, got it, man,
I say Army of Tool. I said

1065
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:35,159
Army of two But I can't speak
anymore. Army of Two the Devil's Cartel.

1066
01:09:36,279 --> 01:09:40,239
Sometimes I really do forget that there
was a period where EA was making

1067
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,000
fucking Army of Two, Like this
is the kind of game that got put

1068
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,560
out. I can't believe they made
two of them. Yeah, I could

1069
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,119
see how you made one. Same
thing was like Kitten Lynch Okay, yeah,

1070
01:09:48,119 --> 01:09:53,960
of course you made one, Caden
Lynz, right, But you're committed

1071
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,960
to this, like you feel like
you have to do it. Do you

1072
01:09:56,039 --> 01:10:00,439
lose a bet? Are you insane? Are you insane? Maylind Mario fan

1073
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:05,439
says Super Mario three D World Turbo
Shawn Ooh says Killer Instinct twenty thirteen.

1074
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:12,159
And I did finally get to play
that when it just got kind of I

1075
01:10:12,199 --> 01:10:15,239
don't know, got updated finally,
so got updated. Yeah it is.

1076
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,720
It is really spiffy. I like
that quite a lot. It's super fun.

1077
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:23,560
Excuse me. And then he also
mentions Middle Gear Rising Revengeance, and

1078
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:28,600
then Christian first person mentioning this surprisingly
Brothers a tale of two sons? Do

1079
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,159
you have any love for Brothers?
I tried it and I didn't. It

1080
01:10:32,199 --> 01:10:35,000
didn't immediately hit me, so I
kind of put it down. I played

1081
01:10:35,039 --> 01:10:38,960
through it, I liked it.
I don't have any super strong feelings about

1082
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:43,399
it, all right, I think
that yeah, that does it. Let's

1083
01:10:43,399 --> 01:10:47,079
get back over the list. Sorry, I believe that game is getting re

1084
01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:53,279
released this year, so I might
try to get yeah happening so right,

1085
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:58,159
so it'll get another chance and I
will probably try it again, all right.

1086
01:10:58,279 --> 01:11:00,560
That leaves just with a Zelda Link
Between Worlds, Fire Bloam Awakening,

1087
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,159
Super Mario three D World Assess It's
created, four Black Flag, Pickman three,

1088
01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:06,920
The Last of Us, ray Man
Legends, Grand Theft, Auto five,

1089
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:15,159
Neck Stanley Parable, Metal Gear Rising
Revengeance. You know, you know

1090
01:11:15,319 --> 01:11:16,680
me, I love to love to
play to the drama. But let's should

1091
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,359
we just put Zelda Link between Worlds
up there at number one? Yeah?

1092
01:11:19,399 --> 01:11:25,680
I think Zelda's number one. It's
so freaking good. I mean you could

1093
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:30,000
ask me on like yeah, probably
like two three days out of any week

1094
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:31,520
you asked me like, actually,
what's the game? I think it's the

1095
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:35,319
most fun to play. I might
say Zelda Link between Worlds. I think

1096
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:44,720
number two is either Firemoom Awakening or
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. Yeah. I

1097
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,039
would put fire Boom Awakening, but
but I'm fine with that going to to

1098
01:11:48,159 --> 01:11:51,000
three, just because I like,
I never finished Revengeance and I have not

1099
01:11:51,079 --> 01:11:55,840
played it again recently. I did
put on my Steam deck, and I

1100
01:11:56,039 --> 01:11:59,520
always think, man, that's what
I should boot up next. You do

1101
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:00,319
seem to love it. If you
want to put it too, I'm fine

1102
01:12:00,359 --> 01:12:03,399
with that. Well, we'll put
that one at two. I think in

1103
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:08,079
some ways it's age better than maybe
Awakening has. So they don't have set

1104
01:12:08,159 --> 01:12:10,560
and Awakening, we're still we can
still pretend to be mad about that or

1105
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,800
something. Yeah, well, you
know, the FEAT technology wasn't there yet,

1106
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,680
all right? If everyone waking at
three then leaves us two spots for

1107
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:24,520
Mario, Black Flag, Pigman,
Last of Us, Raymond Legends Granted Fatal

1108
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:35,800
five, Knack, and Stanley Parable. This is I feel like I don't

1109
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:39,479
normally feel this way about game we
don't really care about, like Aggress of

1110
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,399
the Five I don't want to put
on here. I feel weird not including

1111
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,680
Last of Us, even though I
know it's not necessarily the most US game

1112
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,079
ever. I would feel kind of
weird. And again I don't really hold

1113
01:12:49,079 --> 01:12:53,119
anything against it, not really.
Yeah, it's obviously very good. It's

1114
01:12:53,119 --> 01:12:57,479
obviously very important. I just it
would ring all though, to release the

1115
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,880
twenty thirteen list that doesn't have it. We can put it at five,

1116
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:02,520
but just put it five then,
yeah, all right, I think it's

1117
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:06,760
gotta be on there, all right, just remind people we didn't forget about

1118
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:11,319
it. Uh, and then here
are four better games. Okay? Well

1119
01:13:13,199 --> 01:13:16,720
then of course, all right,
there we go. Oh God, that

1120
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:21,520
would solve their problems that everyone would
get that. God, this is tough.

1121
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:27,199
I'm gonna say not. Pickment three
Deluxe is significantly better. In my

1122
01:13:27,279 --> 01:13:29,640
opinion, it's significantly I kind of
the same thing with three D World.

1123
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:34,199
I just think that the I'm okay
with that better. So I like Black

1124
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:40,760
Flag is fine. Rayman Legends would
be fine for me. Those are the

1125
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,560
two that that's my gut as well
as those two. I think my gut

1126
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:48,760
says black Flag actually, but I
really love Rayman Legends. Yeah. I

1127
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,600
think I probably like Black Flag more
than I like ray Man Legends though.

1128
01:13:55,119 --> 01:13:58,880
Put it at four. Yeah,
that four. I don't know chat I

1129
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,520
think or something we're really missed here
for the league. I got kind of

1130
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:05,600
open to suggestions for number. I
don't feel incredible about any of these,

1131
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:11,439
but I think that's I'm like,
I'm asking Cheff for suggestions. I mean,

1132
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,760
we've already got some. Well,
maybe I should reach supertests right now,

1133
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,640
real quick. Then maybe there were
some yeah, sure, sure,

1134
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,560
And then Benji does keep yelling me
about NCAA fourteen. Listen, sure,

1135
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:25,399
no, I get it. Denard
Robinson is on the cover. Yes,

1136
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,000
absolutely, And there aren't any real
suggestions tuper tests. We just read we

1137
01:14:29,119 --> 01:14:31,479
come back from the Break, all
right, Yeah, I'll GTA five.

1138
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,640
I know. Hey, look,
look already got any points? The Last

1139
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:40,319
of Us already I'm locking it in. Yeah, we get it. Here's

1140
01:14:40,359 --> 01:14:43,279
our list, Everybody, number five, The Last of Us, number four,

1141
01:14:43,279 --> 01:14:45,920
Assassin's Creed four, Black Flag,
number three, Fire Elmboom, Awakening

1142
01:14:46,319 --> 01:14:50,159
number two, Medal, Gear Rising, Revengeance number one, Zelda Link Between

1143
01:14:50,199 --> 01:14:53,920
Worlds. Those are the best five
games of twenty thirteen. Like I know,

1144
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,520
a lot of times I'm like,
yeah, that's the list in this

1145
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,279
year. I don't feel that way. But also what I feel that way

1146
01:14:59,319 --> 01:15:03,880
about like number one through three for
sure, two and three absolutely yeah,

1147
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,119
yeah, I think, uh yeah, that's just kind of where we are

1148
01:15:06,159 --> 01:15:09,840
on this one. And I'm I'm
fine, with black food on there.

1149
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,159
You know what it is. It's
the last of us throwing it off because

1150
01:15:12,199 --> 01:15:15,479
we're like, we're you don't like
the last of us? Yeah, yeah,

1151
01:15:15,239 --> 01:15:17,520
I'm fine with it. It's just
that's why. That's why when we

1152
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,560
look at the list, are like, what's wrong with this? I got

1153
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:26,319
something's wrong? Something's wrong here?
All right? Let me uh, let

1154
01:15:26,359 --> 01:15:29,800
me tweet that. So we get
yelled at and then uh, you know

1155
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:30,720
what, why I do that?
Why don't we take a quick break when

1156
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,199
we get back, we'll do some
more super chats. We'll talk about our

1157
01:15:34,239 --> 01:15:39,640
games that we've been playing all that. Talk to you right after this and

1158
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:43,000
we're back. Yeah, thanks everybody
for sticking with U. We're gonna talk

1159
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,920
about what we've been playing here in
a second. But I think there's a

1160
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,760
handful of super chats, Mike,
why don't we do those first? Yeh,

1161
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,399
yap, we got that. We've
got the game and that's Hall of

1162
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:53,119
Fame. Oh yeah, that's right. We'll get to that too. I'm

1163
01:15:53,119 --> 01:15:57,079
going to get that ready to go
here after this. Wello, Dave,

1164
01:15:57,119 --> 01:16:00,600
says Mike, who gets cube before? When you die? You know,

1165
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,680
I actually do need to make a
will and stuff. Right, I'm old

1166
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,199
enough. Now I'm gonna just fair. I mean, I'm just going to

1167
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:11,239
everything's gonna get split between the two
brothers. I guess I'll let them figure

1168
01:16:11,239 --> 01:16:14,119
it out. Whatever. Yeah,
they could pass it on to kids they

1169
01:16:14,159 --> 01:16:16,079
actually care, they'll know better about
At that point, you'll get nothing.

1170
01:16:16,159 --> 01:16:19,279
So don't you know anything? Please, I don't want to. You're trash.

1171
01:16:19,319 --> 01:16:24,479
Are're kidding me? Brita says Jeff. For how many more combat episodes

1172
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,880
does Mike have to be stuck in
level two for before he's allowed to tinker

1173
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,000
the setting? So I should get
a break, somebody should do something.

1174
01:16:30,039 --> 01:16:31,479
Well, No, I am not
going to tinker the seting. Yeah,

1175
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,680
no, Mike doesn't again like that
the pride I was talking about, that's

1176
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:40,279
a real thing with mikey guys like
That's that's why it's like so different between

1177
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,399
like when Dan's and Mike's playing.
That's why I'm like, I'm hesitant with

1178
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,600
when Dan asks for help. Yeah, we're just gonna do it. When

1179
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:46,960
Mike starts asking for help, I'm
like, Okay, is this the right

1180
01:16:47,039 --> 01:16:49,479
time? Is it? Should we
be doing it? It's also because it's

1181
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:54,920
funny, yes, but I'm balancing
these factors here and it's yeah, at

1182
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,239
a certain point I couldn't help myself
anymore. There is apparently like an unlimited

1183
01:16:58,359 --> 01:17:02,640
lives sheet that I think everybody who
beats the game, actually, yes,

1184
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,920
that is that. When people talk
about beating the game, it's like,

1185
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:11,199
oh, it's because they did that. Yeah. Next is Aramis Barramus says,

1186
01:17:11,239 --> 01:17:13,880
don't know if it'll get match if
by someone else. But Rue Factory

1187
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,479
four was the first time I phone
in love with a farming slash like Zim.

1188
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,399
The game's gameplay loop is the best
in the genre for me. I

1189
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,399
always did mean to play this game, Jeff not. It never got around

1190
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:26,239
to it though. Sorry, I
was getting the Hall of Fame setup.

1191
01:17:26,279 --> 01:17:30,199
What was the game Run Factory four? Yeah, I I Once I started

1192
01:17:30,199 --> 01:17:32,920
to getting into Starding Valley, I
did start looking around some of these other

1193
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:38,239
games that would be like, okay, how could I broad in my horizons

1194
01:17:38,279 --> 01:17:42,720
a little bit? And people would
mention Run Factory and Rue Factory four specifically.

1195
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,560
I've never given it a shot.
Not really. It had like a

1196
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,279
bad port here there. I think
maybe on the three DS, wasn't there

1197
01:17:48,319 --> 01:17:51,880
like uh was on switch at some
point it was the Switch game that was

1198
01:17:53,159 --> 01:17:58,039
it was weird. Yeah, Wolf
says Mike forst Bedeger Solid two g T

1199
01:17:58,159 --> 01:18:00,199
A four DT five with the list, Jeff is too afraid to stop him.

1200
01:18:00,199 --> 01:18:06,560
We need to get rid of this
opposer. I think I'm completely fine

1201
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:13,760
with all of that. I'm sorry, sorry to let you down, he

1202
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,640
says. I was yelling at Mike
in Blake club chat. I have since

1203
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,640
played Mortal Kombat mythologies. I am
sorry. Yeah, you really don't like

1204
01:18:20,119 --> 01:18:24,119
you don't understand. He looks miserable, right, but you really you never

1205
01:18:24,199 --> 01:18:27,560
understand to be fair, don't apologize
to Mike because he doesn't. He also

1206
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,800
doesn't understand when he's yelling at me
when I'm paying these games, You're like,

1207
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,560
why don't you just do this?
Well, I want to try to

1208
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,520
help you, but I get very
energetic and sort of antagonistic in my hoping.

1209
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:40,600
Yes, but everyone. The truth
is everyone gets that way until they

1210
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,920
are in the ship, and then
once you're playing these things, it's like,

1211
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,279
oh my god. All right,
that does it for the super chats.

1212
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,039
That is it for now. There's
still some time after the show,

1213
01:18:48,119 --> 01:18:50,439
but if you want to send a
super chat, we will read them before

1214
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,600
the very end of the show.
We promised, thank you so much,

1215
01:18:54,279 --> 01:18:57,359
that is going to bring us to
our smatt monkey super chat. Let me

1216
01:18:57,399 --> 01:19:00,159
see her now. Thank you for
the heads up. Oh yeah, I

1217
01:19:00,239 --> 01:19:01,840
did just I skipped a couple of
these. A few of these. Oh

1218
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,560
my goodness, Jeff, let's go
back to super chat. But all right,

1219
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,039
and we're going back into the super
chests. He skipped a few,

1220
01:19:10,119 --> 01:19:13,720
he says, Let's find out how
many, right now. Zoomer says,

1221
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,359
BioShock shows you on the PS three. I bought pre owned to twenty fourteen

1222
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:20,159
was my true intro to emorated games. I was also old enough to buy

1223
01:19:20,239 --> 01:19:24,359
them on my own. Was the
first rated game. I bet. I

1224
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,800
bet that hit hard. Actually,
it was like, you know, they

1225
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:31,079
were called emerated games. We were
getting a first game you played like though,

1226
01:19:31,119 --> 01:19:34,840
this is kind of like a game
for adults and playing it like I

1227
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:39,520
mean Doom Mortal, right, I
mean Doom was diffinitely like kind of still

1228
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,119
before. I don't think that was
ESR bad. Back then, all the

1229
01:19:43,199 --> 01:19:46,000
games, even the games that were
mature, were still four kids. Really.

1230
01:19:46,039 --> 01:19:50,159
Oh sure, yeah, good point. Yeah, Reservoir Duck says,

1231
01:19:50,199 --> 01:19:53,680
remember that. Uh yah, Oh
my god, that was about that time.

1232
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,159
Huh man, God, we were
so hyped for the OUA. At

1233
01:19:57,199 --> 01:20:00,399
least I was, yeah, well
yeah you My younger brother had that thing.

1234
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,199
He was ready to go. Matt
Rare Monkey says DODA two is the

1235
01:20:03,239 --> 01:20:06,560
worst game, but Risk of Rain
was twenty thirteen. I never played Risk

1236
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,880
of Rain. How about you play
well? Risk of Rain played a lot

1237
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,199
more. Risk of Rain two.
I was like when a two D game

1238
01:20:12,199 --> 01:20:14,560
goes as three D for its sequel, So I checked out Risk Rain two

1239
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,640
Risk Rain. I know people really
like absolutely, So you skip three huh

1240
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,119
Mike, Yeah, it's quite a
few of them. Sorry, everybody,

1241
01:20:21,159 --> 01:20:24,640
thanks for letting me know. Chat
but yes, we are caught up now.

1242
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,840
But yeah, if you send more
I will read them and not forget

1243
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,720
or skip over them by accident.
We'll see, all right. The poll

1244
01:20:32,159 --> 01:20:36,399
for the game mess Hall of Fame
has ended about an hour ago, so

1245
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:41,800
we have the results. Let's talk
about the nominees first. Yes, let's

1246
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,199
set let's exactly, yes, let's
set things up. Let's set the table

1247
01:20:45,239 --> 01:20:48,199
here. We do a game mess
Hall of Fame every once in a while.

1248
01:20:48,279 --> 01:20:50,960
It's it's not like a normal thing, and not a regular thing every

1249
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,199
once in a while, when the
mood strikes, we will nominate two games.

1250
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,159
We by we, I mean me
and Mike. We each nominate two

1251
01:20:58,239 --> 01:21:01,680
games, and these days we do
it in a specific sort of category or

1252
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,920
a specific sort of thing, so
we can kind of narrate together and make

1253
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:12,279
the games relatively similar. This time
it was PlayStation two games. Me and

1254
01:21:12,399 --> 01:21:15,239
Mike both picked two. I picked
Shadow of the Colossus and Tony Ook's pro

1255
01:21:15,319 --> 01:21:20,119
Skater three. Mike, what did
you choose? I chose Metal gar Solid

1256
01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:27,159
three, Steak Eater or Subsistence and
Don't be shot Keenomarts two. We have

1257
01:21:27,319 --> 01:21:30,439
the results. The way it works
is, after being Mike picked the two,

1258
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:35,199
we put all four up for induction
into the Hall of Fame. It's

1259
01:21:35,239 --> 01:21:39,039
out of our hands at that point. Then it comes up to the podcast

1260
01:21:39,119 --> 01:21:43,279
producers who are that's the jury,
that's who actually gets to vote here,

1261
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:45,840
and they all get one vote.
Two are going to make it in the

1262
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:49,359
top two vote getters will make it
into the Hall of Fame. But you

1263
01:21:49,399 --> 01:21:53,880
can only vote for one, so
it's you don't get to say, like,

1264
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,640
oh, maybe I get but both
of these in there. Maybe I

1265
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:57,800
could be cute, like no,
just pick the one you think is the

1266
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:02,239
most worthy, and here are the
result. Coming in fourth place won't make

1267
01:22:02,239 --> 01:22:06,960
it into the Hall of Fame with
fifteen percent of the vote. Kingdom Hearts

1268
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,079
two. Shit, well, you
know, no kind of for taste.

1269
01:22:12,119 --> 01:22:14,840
Hey. I used to like almost
kind of apologize for that game, and

1270
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,520
then I played it again for you
know, my December charity run, and

1271
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:19,920
I had so much fun. I
love that game. I think it's so

1272
01:22:20,079 --> 01:22:24,680
impressive, does so much with the
places you do. It's a late PS

1273
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,920
two game, just a ton of
fun. The combat still feels great to

1274
01:22:28,039 --> 01:22:30,079
me. There's a lot going on
there. It's good stuff. Yeah,

1275
01:22:30,119 --> 01:22:33,399
and that's the one I never played, so no comment for me. I

1276
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:36,960
played Kingdom Hearts one, and that's
the one I had an issue with,

1277
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:43,600
coming in third place with twenty four
percent of the vote. Tony Hawk's pro

1278
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,359
Skater three. Wow, that's so
we still do not have a Tony Hawks

1279
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,880
game in the Hall of Fame.
It's the children who are wrong, Mike.

1280
01:22:50,319 --> 01:22:53,399
Yeah, I mean, I guess
I should be happy at least one

1281
01:22:53,399 --> 01:22:55,640
of my makes it. But this
is maasically a little sack is Tony Ooks

1282
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,960
pro Skater three. I mean that's
my favorite Tony Hawks Pro Skater game.

1283
01:22:59,359 --> 01:23:02,640
It is so much fun, just
such an incredible playthrough all the time.

1284
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,520
It's just that right mix of like
that perfect ark feel. It's not taking

1285
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:12,880
itself too seriously. It's real,
goofy, silly secret character's incredible levels,

1286
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,840
fantastic sounds, it's everything. It's
a perfect It's a ten out of ten.

1287
01:23:15,039 --> 01:23:17,880
Would highly recommend. Yeah, it's
a game I still go back to

1288
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:23,600
today and love and just it's so
well done. Love Tony ex pro Skater.

1289
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,520
Three. We'll get a Tony Hawks
game on this list eventually, I

1290
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,760
think, somehow, hopefully hopefully we
have not like moved past the point where

1291
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,560
we can get a Tonyawk game,
so that lose can still come back sometime.

1292
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:38,119
Oh yeah, for sure. Number
three, I'm sorry, number to

1293
01:23:39,119 --> 01:23:43,439
the second place finisher that will make
it into the Hall of Fame. That

1294
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:45,680
does you know? That does mean
obviously that now Meddle Gear, Solid three,

1295
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,039
Snake Eater Subsistence and Shadow of the
Classes have made it into the Hall

1296
01:23:48,039 --> 01:23:53,359
of Fame. But the number two
vote getter was middle Gear Solid three Snake

1297
01:23:53,359 --> 01:23:59,239
Eater Subsistence with thirty percent of the
vote, just barely in second because Shadow

1298
01:23:59,239 --> 01:24:01,039
of the Coloss has got thirty one
percent of the vote, so they're kind

1299
01:24:01,039 --> 01:24:04,399
of neck and neck. There really
good showing from both of those, but

1300
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,279
it wasn't like, you know,
twenty four percent of the vote to thirty

1301
01:24:08,279 --> 01:24:11,079
percent of the vote. It's not
like anything that blew each other out of

1302
01:24:11,079 --> 01:24:13,680
the waters. I think all four
of these have a chance to make it

1303
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:16,800
in eventually. The two that didn't
make it this time will probably get another

1304
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,520
round down the line, and they
could easily make it in depending on like

1305
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:24,600
what category they're in. But yeah, that will add Shadow to the Colossus

1306
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,920
and Metal Gear Salad three to our
list. I'll get that list updated in

1307
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,079
a minute. But any final thoughts
while I'm doing that, Mike, Yeah,

1308
01:24:30,079 --> 01:24:32,239
I'm a little I'm a little surprised
Clausus got number one over a Metal

1309
01:24:32,279 --> 01:24:36,840
Gear solid game. But Shallow Clausus
was super fun. I still just love

1310
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:41,279
that format of just kind of this
you know, small open world basically just

1311
01:24:41,359 --> 01:24:44,520
there so you can go from boss
to boss to bust in each boss is

1312
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:47,279
this kind of epic puzzle, right. It's one of those games you just

1313
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:51,000
never forget about. Just so many
moments from that first place through I had

1314
01:24:51,039 --> 01:24:55,319
on PlayStation two still stick with me, and then I kind of got to

1315
01:24:55,359 --> 01:24:59,079
relive them when we had that remake
a few years back, probably longer than

1316
01:24:59,119 --> 01:25:00,720
I think it was. Wow.
So yeah, I love Shot of the

1317
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:04,920
Classes. I have no problems with
that. Melgar Solid three still my favorite

1318
01:25:05,079 --> 01:25:09,680
entry in this series. I think
it found the perfect balance with some of

1319
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:13,079
the goofy story stuff and some of
the serious story stuff, and then just

1320
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,359
really good gameplay and really good systems. I think the survival stuff they added

1321
01:25:16,399 --> 01:25:20,680
here worked really well for this game. I think it does a good job

1322
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:25,159
of being a prequel, which can
be difficult a lot of times for these

1323
01:25:25,239 --> 01:25:29,560
franchises, but this game nailed that. A ton of memorable moments like the

1324
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,760
ladder you know, the Snake Eater
theme song. The end boss fight was

1325
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:39,159
really cool. So yes, I'm
absolutely happy to see you Snake Eater make

1326
01:25:39,199 --> 01:25:44,680
it in there. That means here

We will revisit the Hall of Fame
here in probably a couple of months,

1337
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:31,840
not maybe about two months. We'll
come back and do another one. I

1338
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,600
always enjoy these. There's some other
stuff I want like that we've done in

1339
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,560
the past, and we'll start bringing
back as well. We'll get some of

1340
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:41,920
that mixed in here out of years
as we run out of years exactly,

1341
01:26:42,079 --> 01:26:45,840
so we'll have that stuff primed and
ready to go. All right, do

1342
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,800
we need another break? Christian?
Are we good? We we got chuckle

1343
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,920
them, Mike, Mike, what
have you been playing? Hey, I've

1344
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:58,079
been playing a lot of Tech in
eight man eight It's so much fun.

1345
01:26:58,399 --> 01:27:01,640
It is never played much Tech and
before and I'm really mad at myself for

1346
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,520
that. I was just such a
Sega fanboy for so long, even though

1347
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:09,000
like I eventually like, yeah,
I had a PlayStation. I would play

1348
01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:12,840
a lot of PlayStation games for partly
stuff. Even for some reason like tech

1349
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,399
In, I was was like really
the object of my ire because that was

1350
01:27:16,399 --> 01:27:18,840
the one. I was like,
well, that's just a bad virtue fighter.

1351
01:27:19,199 --> 01:27:24,600
Even when it became very very good
with like tech and three and then

1352
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,439
you know times from number five,
like they really go, still was just

1353
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,560
never touching. Even when I love
Soul Caliber, which is you know,

1354
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:35,600
similar to sister series, Love Soul
Caliber, still just couldn't like look at

1355
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:40,239
tech In so finally, like I've
been wanting to finally get into it,

1356
01:27:40,279 --> 01:27:42,039
and then when they announced Teken,
I'm like, okay, cool, So

1357
01:27:42,079 --> 01:27:45,119
when Technic comes out, I'm going
to really dive in. And I was

1358
01:27:45,199 --> 01:27:47,359
able to review it, and I'm
glad that this is the one because it

1359
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:53,119
is a fantastic package. I mean, the combat feels fantastic. I think

1360
01:27:53,159 --> 01:27:57,840
it's familiar to tech and fans,
but it's all incredibly fluid. It's deep

1361
01:27:58,039 --> 01:28:00,920
but kind of simple to grasp.
The I like juggling in any game.

1362
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:03,239
That's why I like that New Prince
of Purgase so much. And the fact

1363
01:28:03,239 --> 01:28:09,960
that combos in this series depend on
juggling that is very satisfying to me.

1364
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:14,560
I think the suite of single player
options is really great. Arcade Quest is

1365
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,439
a lot of fun because that's the
one that is this kind of separate story

1366
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:19,760
mode. It's like this little silly
like, Hey, you're just like some

1367
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:25,600
guy in the arcade scene, and
there's like a like an edgy antagonist who's

1368
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,159
like, I only care about people
who take ticking seriously, so he's me

1369
01:28:29,359 --> 01:28:33,079
basically, and I like him.
So you go to different arcades and you

1370
01:28:33,199 --> 01:28:36,960
challenge people, but your friend is
also kind of giving you little tutorials the

1371
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,000
whole time, and it's a really
good way and a fun way to learn

1372
01:28:41,039 --> 01:28:43,640
the game. And I'm like,
with the main story mode, you can

1373
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,960
pick who you want to play us
here, so you could pick your main

1374
01:28:45,399 --> 01:28:48,199
and go through this whole thing with
them, and by the time you're through

1375
01:28:48,279 --> 01:28:51,119
with it, you're gonna have a
decent grasp on that character to get you

1376
01:28:51,239 --> 01:28:56,000
started. Yeah, I've been spending
a lot of time in the arcade mode

1377
01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:00,199
kind of getting through some most tutorials, and yeah, I think you're right,

1378
01:29:00,239 --> 01:29:03,199
like learning just how we're relearning in
a lot of ways, just how

1379
01:29:03,279 --> 01:29:09,000
fun it is to get those air
juggles going, and then realizing once I

1380
01:29:09,119 --> 01:29:12,960
know what I'm doing, this is
not just satisfying, it's really kind of

1381
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,039
easy to do. And and the
fact that the game just makes it,

1382
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:18,279
Hey, I want to do this
thing, make it relatively easy for me

1383
01:29:18,319 --> 01:29:20,760
to do it. Tech and does
that Techan's in that space already. I

1384
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:25,359
think there's a lot of funny enfranchises
that are trying to get closer to that.

1385
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:29,000
Teching itself even has its own version
of the modern controls I haven't touched,

1386
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:31,119
but I don't feel a need to
do that. I'm like, I

1387
01:29:31,319 --> 01:29:34,960
understand what I need to do to
get most things accomplished at this point after

1388
01:29:35,039 --> 01:29:40,000
spending a few hours in that arcade
mode, and then I keep saying it

1389
01:29:40,319 --> 01:29:46,479
it has the juice. It is
so juicy story juicy stripping story mode is

1390
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,800
a lot of fun. It sometimes
is almost a bit much for me,

1391
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:53,760
but again, like that's me.
Think it's mostly a good time. It's

1392
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,600
mostly a very good time, and
I enjoyed it. I also like that

1393
01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:00,720
it was actually kind of challenging that
super hard. You know how Mortal Kombat

1394
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,239
one was almost like afraid anybody was
gonna Yeah, it lost its luster,

1395
01:30:04,399 --> 01:30:08,800
it like lost some of its nerve
after the previous games. Right, this

1396
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:12,600
one doesn't have that problem nearly as
much. It's like I still felt like

1397
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,560
I was actually having to play tech
in uh to get through everything. Like

1398
01:30:16,079 --> 01:30:20,960
like one knowing a comba for each
character is basically all that you need.

1399
01:30:21,039 --> 01:30:25,600
And you play as our people,
but you play as Jin especially a lot.

1400
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:29,840
You kind of get to be familiar
with that specific character. Uh.

1401
01:30:30,079 --> 01:30:33,159
So that does feel good. And
there are just a lot of characters in

1402
01:30:33,199 --> 01:30:36,840
this game for a three D fighter, it's a very big roster, something

1403
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:41,199
like thirty six characters. You know. It's funny because it is a game

1404
01:30:41,199 --> 01:30:44,159
where you you really should, at
least for a while, just pick one

1405
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:45,640
and learn them. So you just
get it's just so much. One that

1406
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,960
began to look at everybody and kind
of be like, all right, well,

1407
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,000
which one is it going to be? And you kinda find somebody who

1408
01:30:51,079 --> 01:30:56,800
you think looks cool or who plays
well. I'm playing as Raina, the

1409
01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:00,960
girl who kind of borrows Heyachi's movest
from the previous games. She's kind of

1410
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:06,840
this like spunky athletic brawler girl,
and she's been a ton of fun to

1411
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:09,680
play us. But you know,
I've been experimenting with some of the other

1412
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:13,920
ones, like King, who has
all these like scrapple strings, which are

1413
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,079
a lot of fun and it's all
based on wrestling, So I find that

1414
01:31:16,359 --> 01:31:19,720
really really fun to pull off,
and I would like to mess around with

1415
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:23,479
him more. And I love just
watching you play as a jacket. By

1416
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:26,960
the way, what a what a
fantastic dumb mask. I love that.

1417
01:31:27,359 --> 01:31:30,680
Just one of the best dumb masses
in gaming history. Absolutely, He's had

1418
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:32,840
this move for a long time.
But it's like, you know, like

1419
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,279
one of you mentioned, you know, you just hit a direction and you

1420
01:31:36,399 --> 01:31:39,359
hit one of the attack buttons,
and you're gonna do a different move,

1421
01:31:39,399 --> 01:31:41,239
and I'm like, okay, well
now it's time to okay. Oh that

1422
01:31:41,319 --> 01:31:44,239
works with holds too. I'm figuring
out, Okay, so I start doing

1423
01:31:44,279 --> 01:31:45,920
that with holds, and one of
the holds actually fruit for that is not

1424
01:31:46,079 --> 01:31:49,239
actually it's a kind of a hold
the person falls underneath you. He just

1425
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:54,800
falls over on a person and he's
had that forever. But it looks great

1426
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:58,920
here. It's still really fun.
The way that the character models do sort

1427
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:01,560
of get squished underneath Jack when that
happens is great. Uh. And yeah

1428
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:05,640
he said this big dumb oaf and
if and he plays like that and you

1429
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:09,960
feel powerful, but you still feel
like you're able to pull off combos and

1430
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,880
all that stuff. He's a fun, big character. I'm really enjoying myself

1431
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,079
in that game. So well.
Yeah, it's like, because he's taken,

1432
01:32:16,119 --> 01:32:19,880
you can't move around when you get
the Yeah, he moves already's big.

1433
01:32:20,159 --> 01:32:24,359
He has a big rail gun that
he doesn't shoot for the most of

1434
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:27,880
the time, but sometimes he's just
throwing it at you. He's just hitting

1435
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:30,880
it just literally just like brings it
over his shoulder and slams it into you

1436
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:34,359
when you're on the ground. Uh. And then sometimes in some rounds he'll

1437
01:32:34,439 --> 01:32:38,840
be holding onto it and ride it
and ride it into battle like not like

1438
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,359
on top of it, like he's
just holding onto it and again like a

1439
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:45,479
dumb ass. I love him.
He's precious to me. Now officially launch

1440
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:48,560
today and there's been some issues.
Yes, I've had a crash. I

1441
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:55,520
think you advice having servers, yes, precious, Yes, yeah, so

1442
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:57,359
you know, baby, get that
a little bit time to settle, and

1443
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:00,239
I'm still not exactly sure. I
know teching Is had issues with help with

1444
01:33:00,399 --> 01:33:04,920
Netco before. I've had mostly good
experiences, had a couple of rougher ones.

1445
01:33:05,079 --> 01:33:09,359
I changed the setting so I only
get match with like the best connections

1446
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,960
possible, and that seemed to actually
help, so I think that is going

1447
01:33:13,039 --> 01:33:15,279
to be fine. We didn't have
fun and like the kind of lobby thing

1448
01:33:15,319 --> 01:33:17,119
they had too, because we were
all just able to hang out there together

1449
01:33:17,239 --> 01:33:21,000
and challenge each other and it was
actually that was really fun hangout game and

1450
01:33:21,199 --> 01:33:26,560
I'm in Argentina and I play against
you and it was somewhat playable, which

1451
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:30,199
is like it's a good that's a
good sign. But still it's not like

1452
01:33:30,359 --> 01:33:34,399
the best rollback we had. That
is, yes, yeah, because the

1453
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:39,600
problem is like, oh well,
now we tasted the sweet sweet rollback,

1454
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:44,199
and now we kind of measure every
other robot to that rollback. So it's

1455
01:33:44,279 --> 01:33:47,039
okay, it's functionable, which is
way better from taking seven. That was

1456
01:33:47,319 --> 01:33:50,680
was it was unplayable online, at
least for me on my rich on.

1457
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,680
So that's that's a good that's a
good point. Yeah, And I've been

1458
01:33:55,760 --> 01:34:00,199
off just kind of like the Character
Quest or whatever where it's like a ord

1459
01:34:00,279 --> 01:34:03,159
arcade mode just five matches, but
you get like a little bit of story

1460
01:34:03,199 --> 01:34:05,439
for the care at the beginning that
the end, you get the seed like

1461
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:09,920
the ending, the cut scene ending, and those are still been really fun

1462
01:34:10,039 --> 01:34:12,920
and they've been silly. I think
those are going to be fun for everybody

1463
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,680
to look at. We gotta you
think that you guys are gonna rank the

1464
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:19,279
new Teken endings. Yeah, well
yes, absolutely, I think back of

1465
01:34:19,279 --> 01:34:24,000
our is keen to do that,
so we'll we'll make that happen again.

1466
01:34:24,279 --> 01:34:27,600
Those kinds of upfs are fun too, so absolutely we'll find a way to

1467
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,880
do that. Maybe I should play
through all those and record all those so

1468
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,680
we could just have them ready to
go, uh because that might be easiest

1469
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:38,560
because the last game, teke At
seven did have the gallery mode that had

1470
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,880
them all. I bet these are
all in a gallery mode for this game.

1471
01:34:41,159 --> 01:34:44,960
It just was nice to have one
place. Yes, the gallary about

1472
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,119
they can get like past games one
right right, Well, you know that

1473
01:34:47,239 --> 01:34:49,199
that's why we still have Tech and
seven out there to do that if we

1474
01:34:49,279 --> 01:34:54,399
need that. Yeah, anything else
about techna I think we're going to be

1475
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:57,079
talking about this for the next few
weeks, especially because we're like, once

1476
01:34:57,119 --> 01:35:00,720
it is online and we can make
that happen, it'll be better to come

1477
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,880
back and talk once we know it's
gonna start working and work consistently. But

1478
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,760
yeah, I'm excited to play online
a lot. I'm excited to do at

1479
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:12,600
least a little ladder climbing and see
what I can do there. During Dale

1480
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,720
nine test thing we did, I
play against the Maximilian and I got a

1481
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:17,920
run of him and Mike couldn't even
got one round of him. So,

1482
01:35:18,199 --> 01:35:20,439
oh, yeah, you're so happy
you got one round on him. Whatever.

1483
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:25,399
He wanted a rematch with me because
I didn't have Argentina next year.

1484
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,279
He's like, he had me as
a friend. He had me as a

1485
01:35:28,359 --> 01:35:33,920
friend. He was like, yeah, good friend. I think he liked

1486
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:39,399
that I dressed Raina up to look
like Ashley Graham from Residy before. Okay,

1487
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:44,479
I've also been playing Like a Dragon
Infinite Wealth. That game is really

1488
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:48,960
really good. Uh. When it
is, it's opening up more for me.

1489
01:35:49,079 --> 01:35:51,319
Now, it does take a long
time to do that. If that

1490
01:35:51,399 --> 01:35:55,079
scares you a way, okay,
that's fine. Don't play the game.

1491
01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:57,720
But I think if you do give
it time and give it a chance,

1492
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,760
you're probably going to get into it. The thing that hits through this series

1493
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:03,079
always has, but more so now
than it is straight up a turn based

1494
01:36:03,199 --> 01:36:06,840
RPG. It makes you know,
a game reminds me of Stick of Truth.

1495
01:36:08,039 --> 01:36:10,560
It reminds me of a south Park
Stick of Truth, where it's like,

1496
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:14,399
oh, these people are imagining themselves
being in one of these RPGs.

1497
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:17,680
Uh, And this game does that. But it's even that the mundanity is

1498
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:23,039
even more apparent because it's not South
Park. It's like, actually, like

1499
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:27,239
some of the new characters you get
on your squad just look like normal dudes.

1500
01:36:27,319 --> 01:36:30,439
They just look like really normal people. And and then having them do

1501
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:34,279
these things where it's like I'm gonna
do my magical electricity attack and he pulls

1502
01:36:34,319 --> 01:36:39,760
out a car battery and shocks you
with it. I I it rules,

1503
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:42,640
I find I find it. I
have a deep affection for it is what

1504
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,399
it is. And then there's just
so much game there. There's it's so

1505
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:48,600
there's so much to do, and
the combat system isn't just like oh it's

1506
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:53,880
cute, because they're to have these
imagine imaginations and stuff like that. No,

1507
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:58,439
the combat system itself is deep and
fun and rewarding. I always I

1508
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,399
never am upset when I'm in a
fight. It's just really well done.

1509
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:05,640
It's the biggest game they've done so
far. It feels like it definitely feels

1510
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:09,279
massive as you're starting up, starting
it up, and like, here's a

1511
01:37:09,359 --> 01:37:12,439
system, here's the system, here's
the system. Jan showed me the job

1512
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:15,520
system today, and that looks great. You know, I love the jobs.

1513
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,840
I didn't get far. I'll get
to the job system. If I

1514
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,199
had known, maybe I would have
stuck around more. I was liking that

1515
01:37:21,239 --> 01:37:24,880
game. I just kind of got
distracted and it was you know, it

1516
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,840
was long. It was like it
was a slow pace. So it was

1517
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:28,479
kind of easy to be like,
well, this is the one I can't

1518
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,600
play right now, right man,
I want to hold off on this because

1519
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:35,600
I know Persona three is real close. I know that's already the big long

1520
01:37:36,199 --> 01:37:41,079
Jeripeg from Sega. I'm gonna be
playing. But gosh, that GB plays,

1521
01:37:41,119 --> 01:37:44,640
you guys did. This game looks
like so much fun. I mean,

1522
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:47,239
you spent so much time just doing
the animal crossing thing, and there's

1523
01:37:47,279 --> 01:37:51,119
so much to that. Then the
combat looks like again, a ton of

1524
01:37:51,159 --> 01:37:55,279
fun the jobs. Any I love
that the jobs are silly things like surfer

1525
01:37:55,840 --> 01:38:00,119
or whatever, like you know,
the Hawaiian dance girl and may Can' or

1526
01:38:00,159 --> 01:38:04,520
whatever it was. God, yeah, I really like I do want to

1527
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:08,119
get I really want to get to
this one. I imagine it won't hurt

1528
01:38:08,159 --> 01:38:10,760
me that much that I haven't played
the other ones. Maybe I should like

1529
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:13,720
see a recap of at least the
last one, I imagine. I don't

1530
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:15,319
know. Yeah, I mean it
won't. It will definitely help to see

1531
01:38:15,319 --> 01:38:19,479
a recap. Yeah, but I
haven't I played it. I played a

1532
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:23,000
bit of a seven, quite a
bit of seven. I understand the set

1533
01:38:23,079 --> 01:38:26,800
up there, and then once they
started I started up this game and they

1534
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:28,920
sort of explain what happened, like, oh, okay, so that's the

1535
01:38:29,119 --> 01:38:32,319
arc there. And things really did
start in one place in seven and end

1536
01:38:32,359 --> 01:38:35,119
in a very different place where these
characters are different people, and that's that's

1537
01:38:35,199 --> 01:38:40,359
cool. So we're continuing that,
and oh there's still a lot of growth

1538
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,800
left there, or there's a lot
of challenges of them being in this new

1539
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:46,760
world that they've created and for them
to like start that and you start in

1540
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:50,319
Yokohama, like if The game starts
in Yokohama for the first several hours,

1541
01:38:50,359 --> 01:38:53,960
and it's like I at a certain
point forgot I was gonna end up going

1542
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,520
to Hawaii and that, and I'm
like, okay, and now we're in

1543
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,840
Hawaii, and now things feel very
different, and there's all these chances to

1544
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:04,439
uh, for these characters to renew
themselves, and yet here's how once again

1545
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:09,000
they're falling into these traps and things
like that. It's it's a great setup,

1546
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:13,760
and then Hawaii is really beautiful and
cool. It's it's it's a good

1547
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,720
game that I think people are I
think this is gonna be the one that

1548
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:17,960
hits for a lot of people.
I think it is gonna come down to,

1549
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,720
Yeah, the pacing might feel a
little off, but everything you're seeing

1550
01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:26,359
does feel like it's leading up to
something. And then that combat is so

1551
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:29,600
much fun. It's very easy to
stick with it, you know. And

1552
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:33,079
Dan don't mind the story heavy pacing, and I think that's a very good

1553
01:39:33,119 --> 01:39:36,760
point. I think I think most
people are going to be just fine,

1554
01:39:38,119 --> 01:39:42,560
exactly stuck with it. Chization is
great, it's just done while it's entertaining.

1555
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,560
It's it's a lot of eight when
the story stuff is entertaining. That's

1556
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,960
great, yep. Absolutely, And
and then you know these they speaking of

1557
01:39:48,039 --> 01:39:51,039
like dumb asses like jacka, this
is just a game of nothing but jackasses,

1558
01:39:51,079 --> 01:39:56,479
nothing but idiots. Yeah, and
that's great, just yes, lovable

1559
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:59,840
dummies. And they really, they
really really are lovable. So I think

1560
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:03,560
I a big part of it as
well. Yeah, I'm very interested to

1561
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,199
hear more people get their hands on
this one and see what they think of

1562
01:40:06,279 --> 01:40:10,880
it. But but yeah, and
that's another one we'll probably be talking about

1563
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:14,439
for the next weeks. The quality
of releases in this January has actually been

1564
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:17,880
nuts, Like it's been wild.
Ampers of Persia. Those are three games

1565
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:21,760
that are absolutely just going to be
like Game of the Year contenders right now.

1566
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:25,399
It's a silly thing to say,
but they absolutely are. They are

1567
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:28,119
well I mean I'm assuming track it. I don't know, but you know,

1568
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:31,800
like, god, it's so good
again, it makes everything else happening

1569
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:36,039
the industry just all the weirder.
But you know, it's so okay to

1570
01:40:36,279 --> 01:40:40,279
enjoy the good games. Yep.
I mean it's like and then you know

1571
01:40:40,359 --> 01:40:43,239
we still have like Power World popping
off, and it's like it's huge.

1572
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:46,279
Yeah, it's like maybe it's not
a nice talk about that weird the weird

1573
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:51,119
Pokemon Company statement on that, Yeah, I like that part where that the

1574
01:40:51,239 --> 01:40:56,159
end they're like, our mission is
to bring happiness to the world through Pokeyman's

1575
01:40:56,520 --> 01:41:00,520
Yeah like that. I was like, oh okay, Yeah, that was

1576
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:04,039
definitely a message of like, leave
us alone, nerds. We know it

1577
01:41:04,199 --> 01:41:09,399
came out shut the fuck up.
Yeah, have a weird message. All

1578
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:12,439
right, Mike, did we get
any more super chats? He did,

1579
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:16,079
Sir? I think we did.
Yes. From a big fresh Air seven

1580
01:41:16,119 --> 01:41:19,680
says, is there any ip and
media that couldn't work potentially to make for

1581
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:27,000
a great RPG or tactics game?
I submit The answer is no, Hello

1582
01:41:28,239 --> 01:41:30,720
Monday Night Football. But I'm like, I don't know. You get John

1583
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:34,479
Madden out there, Yeah, it'd
be pretty good. Now we'll try to

1584
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:38,119
think of one big fresh We'll come
up with an answer for you. Grog

1585
01:41:38,159 --> 01:41:41,399
says you finally did a Hall of
Fame. Not what we'll like complain about.

1586
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:45,039
I believe in you, l Greg, You'll find something. Yeah there

1587
01:41:45,039 --> 01:41:47,680
you God be like somebody in evily
in the comments are going to blame us

1588
01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:53,760
for what's happening at Xbox because once
said that we think maybe them acquiring a

1589
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:59,079
Keba would be better than Activision Bizzard
being on its own. Yep, doing

1590
01:41:59,119 --> 01:42:02,680
that chorus. I'm sure Hello everybody, Hello, yeah, all right,

1591

1593
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:15,680
Yeah? Yeah, I yeah,
I'm gonna play some second. I

1594
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:17,439
hit the button. Let's figure it
out. Then, Mike, where can

1595
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,560
people find you on the internet?
Anything you want to tell people to go

your mixologies? Yeah? Well you go

but Gameless Game Club's got a new
pull up for our next game. It's

1605
01:43:03,399 --> 01:43:06,560
shorter poll. Because pac Man is

1611
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:29,680
very least. Well, I guess
what we could do is we could set

1612
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:33,000
up a par SEC and just all
go in there. And I think so

1613
01:43:33,119 --> 01:43:36,199
too. I think so too.
But maybe story I mean, the worst

1614
01:43:36,239 --> 01:43:40,520
case, just have somebody play solo
and lock endings. That'll be fun too.

1615
01:43:41,039 --> 01:43:43,600
Yeah. We want to play against
everybody though, so yeah yeah,

1616
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:45,359
but you know you'll lose a lot
and look bad. Yeah, I know,

1617
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:49,960
but that's normal on giant bomb dot
com. All right, Uh,

1618
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:54,720
there will be a BCR as well
tomorrow. I'm gonna have to skip out

1619
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:57,039
on that. I was originally gonna
be on there. We were gonna talk

1620
01:43:57,039 --> 01:43:59,079
about like a Dragon. I think
we're still gonna talk about like a Dragon,

1621
01:43:59,119 --> 01:44:00,600
but I'm not gonna be able to
because I got a kid's appointment,

1622
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:04,359
and I forgot to stun everybody.
Yeah, hey, you're telling me,

1623
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:09,560
wait what? Yeah, I have
that news news to everybody, including myself.

1624
01:44:10,079 --> 01:44:13,239
Uh but yeah, I told you
today. He'll probably find a replacement

1625
01:44:13,399 --> 01:44:15,960
make that work, but still tune
in for that BCRs. I have a

1626
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:18,720
lot of fun on those episodes where
we can share more time talk about games.

1627
01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:20,880
So listen to that. Thanks for
listen everybody. Until next time,

1628
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:27,720
I have a good one. Take
care of yourself and goodbye, Ko Korea.

1629
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:30,000
I'm backsh your way out of this
podcast. The worst Korean back dashing

1630
01:44:30,119 --> 01:44:39,199
aren't on that because of me falling. But yeah, don't you think Korean

1631
01:44:39,279 --> 01:44:43,359
fact dashing is like maybe, like
should we less than twenty for not listen

1632
01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:49,279
to like you, I'm telling you
you got to what? Hi? I

1633
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:53,640
know that's exactly I like going for
the hard one right away. Yeah,

1634
01:44:56,039 --> 01:45:03,079
it's not all talk for real.
Wanted to show my dicken asshole. I'm

1635
01:45:03,079 --> 01:45:13,479
such a stupid asshole. Yeah,
break all right, jump back in or

1636
01:45:14,119 --> 01:45:16,279
yeah we'll just go right back into
it. Yep, that works for me.

1637
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:24,920
Just one second, all right,
hang on, give me color.

1638
01:45:25,239 --> 01:45:29,279
I thought I heard a gimmick.
Give me color self gimmick. Yeah,

1639
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:31,159
man, weird, Okay, Yeah, I'm good. Let's bring it back

1640
01:45:31,159 --> 01:45:39,960
in break break break break break,
break, break, break break. I've

1641
01:45:40,039 --> 01:45:47,960
never heard you guys less enthusiastic.
This is this is a crime. This

1642
01:45:48,039 --> 01:45:50,399
is an actual crime. Point down
the list, not three D World,

1643
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:55,079
Jeff, If I push for uh, if I put if I push for

1644
01:45:55,279 --> 01:45:58,079
Brothers, what do what do you
put it there? Would it be?

1645
01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:02,159
Did I have any chance? I
just I you know, I didn't play

1646
01:46:02,239 --> 01:46:03,760
enough of it and I just didn't
fall in love with it, so it

1647
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:06,680
would have had a tough shot,
because Shawn's right, like if I was

1648
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:10,640
going to put another game up there, Super Mario three D World. But

1649
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:15,319
I do like remember from the beginning, Mike had like his reservations about that

1650
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:18,279
you gotta pick your bows. This
is why I also said mgr because I

1651
01:46:18,359 --> 01:46:21,600
knew there's no way you guys are
putting Killer Instinct on the list, right

1652
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:26,760
Yeah, man, I do like
killer Instinct, but I just it's not

1653
01:46:26,960 --> 01:46:30,640
one that's going to get on the
list. Someone pointed out that you keep

1654
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:34,840
her for attacking eight is juice as
being like killer Instinct, And I think

1655
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:40,359
it was Eden in the discord and
said, everyone knows I'm just RADI tuoying

1656
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:44,760
your fighting game opinions. Yeah,
a little bit. Yeah, well I

1657
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:45,840
don't. I don't know if you
mentioned that, but I'm definitely thinking,

1658
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:48,560
like, yeah, Sean mentioned that, like Killer and Stick has the juice.

1659
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:54,319
Well, because when we had the
Juiciest Games decides You and yes,

1660
01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:57,159
when Mike was out, Yeah right, absolutely, that stuck with me because

1661
01:46:57,439 --> 01:46:59,680
you were definitely right about that.
And I'm like, that's stuck with me.

1662
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,600
Now I'm like playing tech and and
I'm like, oh, why is

1663
01:47:01,640 --> 01:47:04,800
this immediately popping off for me?
It's okay, it's reminded, it's got

1664
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:09,159
the juice, it does so yeah, yeah, definitely a ratic doing and

1665
01:47:09,279 --> 01:47:13,880
that that's good. Alright, So
let's get this set up back on the

1666
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,079
others. Well, we can leave
it here for a second while people flying

1667
01:47:16,159 --> 01:47:24,000
in to yell at us. Okay, there we go, Red Wings won.

1668
