1
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:08.599
I've already ruined it. We're not
gonna start again. We're just gonna go

2
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:22.679
into it. Hey everybody, it's
Friday today. Welcome to BombCast Revengeance.

3
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.120
I am your host, Jen Achoa. We are both powered by NZXT.

4
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:34.640
Welcome to this beautiful Friday, March
twenty ninth, twenty twenty four. Everyone

5
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.960
is looking great today. Make sure
you're gonna go drink some water if you

6
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:44.320
haven't. It's speaking about water.
We got the wettest man in games media,

7
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.920
Mike Manatiyah. I did it,
everybody. I'm the wettest. All

8
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.280
right, thank you, water park
over there. I'm a water world on

9
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:02.079
to myself. And you can't have
uh water without perhaps putting a boat on

10
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.879
said water. And most boats have
a captain, just like this podcast as

11
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.640
co captain of the ship has always
joining me. Jeff Grud I'm devastated.

12
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.959
It's the end of fiscal and we've
lost them. Everybody gone. He's no

13
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:21.120
longer PlayStation Interactive CEO. I'm never
going to recover. I'm dying, never

14
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.680
gonna recover. And and I god, I have nothing. I have nothing.

15
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.920
It's in a fiscal chain. Get
more energy going to help us celebrate

16
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:40.000
the end of Fiscal Bailey Myers,
everybody, Hello, I feel like my

17
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.359
internet's being bad and laggy, so
I'm like being choppy over there. So

18
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.680
if you see me, freeze,
I'm not doing that for real. I

19
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.439
need you to know it's my computer. For some reason, I was like,

20
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.000
man, I know I'm off my
podcast game this week because I've just

21
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.959
been tired, but damn, I'm
just losing everybody today. It's so sad.

22
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:00.480
I know, I don't know how
to podcast. You go away to

23
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.799
a convention for a weekend and you
don't know how to do anything anymore.

24
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.400
Yeah. I deeply felt that coming
back, where I'm like, oh,

25
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.520
I gotta do those shows. That's
much that shouldn't be allowed. I should

26
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.800
be able to just sit in a
room quiet and not talk to anyone for

27
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.360
a whole week. That is how
I felt after packs. I don't know

28
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.680
how you guys should be allowed to
do that. I think you should do

29
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.840
that more. Actually, thank you, And when you say it it sounds

30
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.840
derogatory, but yes, thank you. What right you should sit in a

31
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:32.360
room by yourself on Women's Day?
On Women's Day, I think it would

32
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:38.319
be better if if none of you, Okay, with that. Yeah,

33
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.240
okay, that's that's very fair.
For the life of me, Bailey Myers,

34
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.639
I was struggling with this fact.
We went to a brewery and on

35
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.840
the special menu there was special events
and one said Women's Day. I'm like,

36
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.080
oh, this will be so funny
if I take a picture me and

37
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.479
mic are in it, and then
I swear to God that I sent it

38
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.319
to you. I only did you
send you yesterday? Well? Yes,

39
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.039
I thought I said it then and
there in the moment, and then I

40
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.759
looked through the history of my phone. I sent it to like another friend

41
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.879
that had like a b name,
And what did they think of it?

42
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.919
Wow? Very confused because I haven't
talken to them in years. It probably

43
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:23.680
don't a woman. No, why
to make you fun of Women's Day?

44
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.039
That's weird. God, Jan,
I didn't know you were like this now.

45
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.039
Fuck, it's is crazy? Would
crazy? First impression for them?

46
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:38.039
You are homework? I won ten
thousand dollars, did you hear? I

47
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:44.240
saw your tweet and I feel really
happy for you. Thank you. That's

48
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:50.000
what That's what That's what I was
looking for. Yeah, I don't know

49
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.879
weird. I'm still just I'm still
just steamed. I wasn't there, Like,

50
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.960
I'm so mad, but good for
you. That's ten thousand dollars.

51
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.280
There's a lot of money. That's
great. Yeah, it was, it

52
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.639
was. It was nice we did. We did. You would have been

53
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.199
like appreciate it, Like we would
have been happier if you were there for

54
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.240
sure, Like it was the typic
times where it like we could have used

55
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.159
a Bailey. Yeah, thank you. That's all I ever need to hear.

56
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.839
And you're going next year and the
plane ticket and everyone goes wow,

57
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.399
like that what if we presented with
a giant check to take it to a

58
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:26.160
giant is it legal tender? Yeah? Oh god, that was a good

59
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.120
bit we had. But Bailey wouldn't
known because we didn't bring in the packs.

60
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.439
We didn't bring her packs for the
bit. Yeah, I don't know.

61
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.680
You guys are making fun inside jokes
about packs. You're doing it intentionally

62
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:39.160
to exclude me. At this point, I'm going to be in LA at

63
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.480
the kind of like uh May or
yeah, May twentieth, I ish,

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.800
so we can we can party at
LA. Yeah, I'm going to Disney

65
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:54.079
World right around that time, but
I'll check my calendar, yeah, just

66
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.199
to avoid you. Yeah, because
my plant's been a disney World with you

67
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.720

70
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.199
and myself. We're gonna try and
go to Disneyland. It'd be so fun

71
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.800
before. I mean, I'm going
to Disneyland. You can try, but

72
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.000
I will be there. Are you
saying something's gonna happen to me before?

73
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.399
Then? Now you just seem like
not committal. I'm just saying, there's

74
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.360
no try. I will be This

00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.879

00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:40.199
Disney. Right, all right,

good about Friday? He died? Well,

82
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.519
that's not is that? What's good
about it. Its kind of like

83
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.639
Anton, I'm not gonna but ever
know how I feel about it. But

84
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.399
I mean it's good because like he
died for our sins. Oh okay,

85
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.040
and like because he did that,
we all get to go to heaven.

86
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:20.639
Well not maybe not all that heaven. Let's talk about it. Go to

87
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:30.360
Boston, Bailey, you're a fellow
West Coaster born and bred. Uh do

88
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.920
you think I was dying the whole
time? Any time we stepped outside,

89
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.959
I froze to death. When you
guys were visiting or when you were in

90
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.959
Boston. Do you mean Boston?
Oh? I see, Yeah. He

91
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:49.279
ate thirty degrees and I was very
ill equipped, not like Danny was cold.

92
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.879
Sorry. Big wind on the first
day made it very cold, kind

93
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.920
of like commisery, you know,
just like good Show. Yeah, you

94
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.680
know what's commisery. I think whether
here was kind of cold too. It

95
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:05.560
was like sixty degrees sixty five.
Maybe the sun was out. It was

96
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.839
nice, nice starting the last day, which is good because I walked around

97
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.160
a bunch. I fucked up some
tea real good at the at the Tea

98
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.279
Party Museum US. It was great. They gave me a character card when

99
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.680
I got in there, like we
all like got to be somebody who was

100
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.439
actually involved in the tea party and
had like details about me. I was

101
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.120
very excited about that. I kind
of tested the waters, like really role

102
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.079
playing it, and I got the
feeling that maybe I should have shut the

103
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.319
fuck up back up a little bit, but it was fun. I remember

104
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.199
on the way to breakfast one day, Lucy was talking about her her time

105
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.480
visiting a museum and then as soon
as she started talking, everyone treated her

106
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.839
very differently. Yeah, she mentioned
that I was just gonna say. She

107
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.199
was like, I went to that
you sum and then I opened my English

108
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.839
mouth. That's how she sounded me
and done. They was same Maine to

109
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:03.079
me. After I right that triangle, they were so mean to me,

110
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.720
all right, uh talk like that. It would have been fine, actually,

111
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.319
which she would have been fine.
I wanted to do a little bit

112
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.199
of show and tell before we talk
about any potential games we've been playing.

113
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.959
Yeah, I I shot a bunch
of random miscellaneous bu role and who knows

114
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.439
if that'll ever if I will ever
have the time to edit that down into

115
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.839
a vlog, but I could have
helped but show this off to the crew

116
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.159
when we're at breakfast one day.
This is a smartphone cage made by small

117
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.159
rig Man. Let me tell you, look at the ship. Look at

118
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.840
the ship right boom right flips up
and then just like a toaster strudle or

119
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.679
a toaster pop tart, slide your
phone in. Bam. I don't have

120
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:50.559
the handles on me here, but
you can hold on look comfortable. Yeah?

121
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.320
Good. Yeah. He was like
carrying around like it was one of

122
00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.600
those like steady cams, and he
attached a bunch of stuff, apparently the

123
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.279
new iPhone, Like yeah, you
just show up. I thought he bought

124
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.639
a B D S M cag for
his phone and I was like, right,

125
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.519
mind has dinosaurs on it. Jan
does love the cage his phones?

126
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.320
Yes, and just step on him
and I feel like I feel really insecure

127
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.919
about my incredibly boring phone case.
Now, yeah, you should have a

128
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.600
cool background though. Have you guys
seen al Pacino's phone case? It's Shrek's

129
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.279
yea, If al Pacino can have
a Shrek phone case, Mike Manati,

130
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.679
you can at the very least have
something better than that. Step it up.

131
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.159
They always have like fancy ones at
Disney and they're like you're kind of

132
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.720
expensive and look cheap. To be
honest, jan, I see that You're

133
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.919
right. Tell us more about no
no, no, no no, and

134
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.000
that I think that's one of the
biggest downsides of like the case game at

135
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.320
Disney Parks is they don't look great
or you have to get off brand ones

136
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.879
that are also actually cheap. I
think looking part of the cool. I

137
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.919
mean, the Shrek one that al
Pacino has doesn't look expensive and it looks

138
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:05.360
great because Al's wearing that's so confidently. But also on the cage here,

139
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.960
the BDSM phone cage is a bunch
of like little quarter inch screws across.

140
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.279
You can't really see it. I
mean for audio listeners that the pleasure comes

141
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:20.039
from. Yeah, and uh,
you can attach two handles to any of

142
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.720
these ports and then look at that. But man, it seems like you

143
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.480
like didn't do much to put that
in there. Does that feel secure to

144
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.240
you? Yeah, I mean like
I'll just wave my phone around, like

145
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.039
have you seen the ads? And
like the Io states have like built in

146
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.080
kind of steady cam stuff too,
so you don't have to worry about the

147
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.440
wobble as much as you're walking around, right, So we're like we don't

148
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.919
need like expensive video cameras really in
it. I mean, like that's been

149
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.559
Like the common thing is like when
I'll talk to like video friends or folks

150
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:54.000
wanting to break out into video or
like do content creation. I don't think

151
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.000
you need like a fancy schmancy camera. If you have like a smartphone,

152
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.480
you're fine enough. Yeah, but
does this shoot in law? This does

153
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.519
shoot in love death grub and it
shoots externally to us to an s SD.

154
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.919
Wow. But the other neat thing
is that like there at the lens

155
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.799
part where the camera would be,
uh, it has like a magnetic ring

156
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.679
where you just slap on a filter
and then now I have a variable n

157
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.279
D filter, which makes me happy
inside. And that's that's all I want

158
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:31.799
to show. Uh, Okay,
So a variable n D is a neutral

159
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.799
density filter. So like when you're
you know, when something looks blown out

160
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.480
when you're shooting outside because the outside
is so much brighter than what you're seeing

161
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.960
is inside because of the suns.
This neutralizes the sun, so you can

162
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:56.720
see outside the neutralized the moon exactly. That's it's it pulls a piccolo and

163
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.480
yeah, you know, smaller,
smaller, cut the check, y'all.

164
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.519
It was like free promo for y'all. Come on. Yeah, I was

165
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.120
very excited when you were showing me
this. It looked very cool. Also,

166
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:13.360
the little wireless loves we were using
for around packs were actually really really

167
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.559
good. Yeah. I don't think
I heard any of the actual footage audio

168
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.879
that you got. It does sound
good because I was curious about that because

169
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.919
those seemed really handy. Yeah,
it was super clean. Uh. We

170
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.759
were using the road wireless go to
I believe that's right, and like those

171
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.279
are set to I had them set
to auto records, so those Jimmy jams

172
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.360
were like on the little lav clippy
dippies were recording constantly as long as they

173
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.000
were within range of the receiver,
and the the mic was actually pretty omni

174
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.440
directional, and it was. It
was pretty good. It could pick up

175
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:52.960
whoever was wearing it, but also
whoever was near pretty close close enough.

176
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.200
Yeah, good enough, good enough. I'm thinking. I was like,

177
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.519
oh, maybe I should become one
of those like theme park bloggers next time

178
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.559
I go and get this stuff and
just walk around and talk about my thoughts

179
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.000
and whatnot. Mike MANAUGHTI I need
to say, I need you to hear

180
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.799
these words as insultingly as I mean
them. It's crazy to me, You're

181
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.639
not already a theme park flock.
I just don't live close. If I

182
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.039
like lived in Orlando or l A, I one million percent would be.

183
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:26.240
But I'm not there that often.
Right, That's the only issue, okay,

184
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.720
is constantly like they live there,
they go like multiple times a week.

185
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.240
I just can't wish my phone.
Uh you know what I was going

186
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.960
to say, Mike, let's blog
the whole time we're there on our little

187
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.600
uh uh fabulous Disneyland. Maybe we'll
vlog a little bit of the time that

188
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.720
we're there, That's what I was
thinking. Yeah, yeah, we'll make

189
00:13:50.759 --> 00:14:00.919
content expensive baby expense for mikey and
hot bowl of Riggi's for Mike, some

190
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.720
riggies, We'll make some proggies.
Yeah. I've been playing a lot of

191
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.120
Dragons Dogma too. Yeah, me
too. I've I've got that dog in

192
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.559
me and uh and also outside she's
sleeping right now. Uh ah h scout

193
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:24.759
please. The game unfortunately has been
performing poorer and poor each time I boot

194
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.720
it up and any and every time
I go into a town. Yeah,

195
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.360
towns are rough. Yeah, I
don't know how the performance has been for

196
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:37.120
y'all. But like when I'm going
like in the outer world, it's fine,

197
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.039
and I just absolutely adore the shenanigans
that happen. I never feel safe

198
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.000
running anywhere. I never feel safe
going to going to camp. I feel

199
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.000
like I can never relax in this
game. And it's good. It's great.

200
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.200
I love it that way. Yeah, it's the kind of game where

201
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.120
it's like I can't tell how I'm
gonna feel about the story or or or

202
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.919
the narrative, the lore, the
codex is whatever, but the stories I

203
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.720
come away with after playing it for
a little bit, this happened to me.

204
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.559
I did this dumb thing, and
then the next dumb thing happened,

205
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.360
and that was really great. Or
I was in town and I was just

206
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.519
trying to, like, you know, talk to a merchant, and then

207
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.000
a cyclops came in and started throwing
people. That stuff rules and it's not

208
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.000
stopping this game. And uh,
the more I play it, the more

209
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.519
I discover it's like, oh that
the game is so seamless and to letting

210
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.440
those things happen. That it kind
of is. You're always gonna run into

211
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.240
something if you play for any extended
period of time, and if you kind

212
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.559
of do just throw yourself into these
situations where it's like, you know,

213
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.519
I get that Griffin has way too
much health, you should just run away.

214
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.519
I'm like, now I'm gonna go
get on its back. Let's find

215
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.519
out what happens. And then dumb
stuff happens, and I end up having

216
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.960
a great time and it's a it's
a fun game to stream, I think

217
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.840
because of that. But even when
I was playing off stream, I just

218
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.919
kept running into scenarios like that and
really enjoying it. So I think it's

219
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.159
very much a me kind of game. I'm going to I'm I'm gonna be

220
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.840
interested to see like where it like
falls in the next couple of weeks as

221
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.240
people get more time with it,
if they aren't getting what they need out

222
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.320
of the narrative, if they start
to turn on it a little bit,

223
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.159
or if people sort of get on
its wavelength. Because I don't think you

224
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.960
could just come at it and be
like, oh, I'm going to play

225
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.799
this the way I want to.
I think you kind of have to get

226
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.320
on its wavelength a little bit.
Yeah, I think the thing that bothered

227
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:17.919
me initially about the combat is just
like a lack of locking on unless I

228
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.519
drastically miss something and I'm just getting
no luck on. It's like poppy combat

229
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.200
in kind of a fun way.
Some of the abilities like do do like

230
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.679
kind of like a soft lock on
though, So like that's hey, yeah

231
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:34.879
for sure. But I was telling
Mike and Grubb before we started the show

232
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:41.720
today that I'm constantly tempted by seeing
how my ponds have different vocations for me

233
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.600
that I kind of want to try
a new class like the Grub. Yesterday,

234
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:51.200
watching you play the Thief looked like
you were having a drastically different experience

235
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.879
than I've been having because you're zipping
around all over the place. Yeah,

236
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.960
I've been playing the two handed Warrior
build that uses the Great Swords and Hanmer,

237
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.920
and my games are completely so much
more slower and like I'm moving around

238
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:10.599
less than you were, And that
made me want to try that class immediately.

239
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.119
And then my pawn, bone Saw
is an archer, and bone Saw

240
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:19.599
is just jumping all over the place
drop kicking fools. That's ready, bone

241
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:25.440
Saw owon Saws. Ready. Yeah. You know, like a lot of

242
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.200
games that have this kind of job
system, like the prospect of leveling up

243
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.240
jobs and finding new jobs kind of
pushes me forward more so than the narrative

244
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.559
does right, and I do love
that this game has that job system.

245
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.559
Also, like is the systems I
think are the big draw here. I

246
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.519
think the PONN system is a big
part of that. I'm always surprised at

247
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.720
what the ponds are capable of.
Like I recently came across this treasure chest.

248
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.079
I was up on this cliff and
I couldn't reach it, and my

249
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.400
one pond has the like ability where
they can kind of launch you upwards,

250
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.480
and I thought it was just for
like, oh getting on like you know,

251
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.400
some troll head. But he was
just me was like, oh,

252
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:04.359
I'll get this, and he like
went over there and like did the position.

253
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.240
I just walked out to him and
he immediately launched me up right there

254
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.160
and I was able to get the
chest. I was like, oh,

255
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:12.920
that's cool. Yeah, the pawns
are the right level. We talked about

256
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:17.000
this, the right balance of dumb
and smart, Like they do stuff like

257
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.839
that kind of on their own,
and they'll tell you that they're doing it.

258
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.400
They also tell you when they're learning
from something that you did. And

259
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.440
and and then in combat there it's
like, no, I'm just gonna spam

260
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.960
flames at this thing and then if
you ask for help, I'll help you.

261
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:30.599
I'm like, yeah, this is
kind of what I want. I

262
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.039
want I want everything to feel kind
of messy because I think it makes it

263
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.400
feel like, oh, anything can
happen in this game. I do you

264
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.960
enjoy that they're kind of just going
for it anytime we enter combat, They're

265
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.519
going all out constantly. And then
that's makes it really fun to have all

266
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:45.960
these different kinds of ponds. So
it's like I do try to keep that,

267
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.559
like, oh, everyone has a
different job. I have my queer

268
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.839
obviously with me all the time,
and then my main pond, Dark Mitch,

269
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.599
I think is a fighter. I
think he's a fighter, and he's

270
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.640
I keep upgrading him and his billies
are getting cooler and cooler. And then

271
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.839
I have usually I bring someone in
that is like a high level archer or

272
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.839
high level mage or something like that, and just having someone in like you

273
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.559
know, throwing flames, someone dropping
back doing the archer, and then me

274
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.160
and Dark Bitch like getting in there, climbing on whatever and just beating the

275
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.400
hell out of it. It's just
a good time. It like feels like

276
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.559
so much is happening. Failure.
I think you'd actually really enjoy this game.

277
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:25.640
Based off of what I recollect you
digging last year, I feel like

278
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.559
there's a lot of opportunity for dumbness. I that's what it sounds like.

279
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.119
I've been reading a lot about all
the stuff that's been pissing people off,

280
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:34.759
and I'm like, that sounds so
fun, actually though, yes, Like

281
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.799
I'm just I'm deep in like a
dragon right now. And when I'm not

282
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:45.759
playing like a Dragon, I'm playing
blaster or or the new Stardew Valley update,

283
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.759
which is great. Oh snap,
oh, I kind of want to

284
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.640
start another farm and there's just absolutely
no time, no time. I feel

285
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.200
that, I feel hard. One
of the things in the new update is

286
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.359
multiplayer. You can now do up
to eight people. Just in fact,

287
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:07.240
I was only able to marry one
person. Okay, like like a multiplayer

288
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:12.319
game. They have a Meadowlands farm
now where they start you with a chicken

289
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:18.519
coop and two chickens and so like
you start the farm with that and then

290
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.920
it's like fancy blue grass that the
animal's love and crave and there's like so

291
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.880
you can make an animal farm.
Yeah basically yeah, there's new crops and

292
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:33.160
and new events and it's so fun. It's so fun and cute. We

293
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.039
have more a multiplayer game, no
no, no, no no no.

294
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.039
Started. Valley is what I'm always
thinking about going back to as well.

295
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.200
I would like to like check that
out and do some multiplayer games in that.

296
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:48.400
Yeah I've never starred, dude,
really really yeah yeah you never never

297
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:55.279
never? What wait what I've never
started? Dude? Start start I never

298
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:03.559
started? And Valley I'm making Channy
happen. Do you know what's so cool?

299
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.759
Speaking of animal handling, I just
watched goose pee on my new comforter.

300
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:15.319
Just now try to bury it.
Dumb. Animals are so dumb.

301
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:26.960
Hold on in one second setting the
animals just pee on things. Yeah,

302
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.640
they're just kind of mean. I
got Penny on the pea pads only recently

303
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.720
because he's getting old and like even
worse than before. So I have the

304
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.720
pads for her now and sometimes you
like will find like because I have two

305
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:42.039
of them and the spot shacks that
go and she will sometimes somehow find that

306
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:52.119
one sliver of carpet and just go
on there. Anyways, animals, I

307
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:57.240
have like a handtel like one of
those bissel like little green like steamer things,

308
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:02.519
because simply loves to do crys.
So I'm gonna steam clean my bed

309
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:08.400
after this, I guess on Friday
afternoon. Does anyone has anyone else been

310
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:12.920
playing anything else you'd like the chat? I played the Stellar Blade demo that

311
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:21.000
did you see? Yes, we
saw body parts be encased in another skin

312
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:25.440
and then still jiggle very much like
quite a lot. And then the camera.

313
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.240
Yeah, the camera doesn't do the
modest thing where it's like we're not

314
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:30.279
going to let you look at the
butt crack. This game is like,

315
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:34.319
look at the butt crack. It's
right there, very butt crack central.

316
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.680
Yeah, butt crack heavy game.
It is a decent action game. It's

317
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.880
what it feels like. It feels
like a pretty good action game. Uh,

318
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.359
and one that if you are a
normal person you're gonna have a normal

319
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.559
time with and you want to turn
into some culture war thing, have at

320
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:52.319
it. I'm going to ignore you
starting now. But but actually playing the

321
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.039
game itself, it's like, yeah, it wants to be sort of I

322
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:02.599
think in between a Devil May Cry
and a from Software action game where they

323
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:04.880
the parry is the big thing,
not the dodge. You get the dodge

324
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.519
as the first thing in the skill
tree. So it is early on and

325
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:12.039
the perfect dodging is also part of
the combat, but they emphasize perrying first,

326
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.680
and so it's like, to me, that feels more like Frumsoft.

327
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.359
And so I'm like trying to like
every enemy I fight, standing right at

328
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.359
them, trying to let them come
right at me, and then trying to

329
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.200
see I can figure out the perry
window. And I think for a lot

330
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.079
of enemies, you're like astually they
get more difficult and bigger. It seems

331
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:32.440
like that's going to be a necessity
the more you play. I was playing

332
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.960
through obs, so it's getting a
little bit of delay, So I think

333
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.640
that was kind of messing up the
window for me. I'm gonna go play

334
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:40.880
Native on the PS five. I
bet it's gonna feel a lot better that

335
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.759
way, because I'm a little surprised
that they would have a difficult timing window

336
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.119
on that. Like the kind of
game it is, it doesn't feel like

337
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:51.960
it's trying to be exactly like Secero, but you know, the very least.

338
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:53.279
I think once I give that a
shot, i'll see how I feel

339
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.880
about all that. But as it
is, the game is is pretty decent.

340
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.359
I think most people are gonna find
it to be a time. Yeah,

341
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:07.920
the game looks uh okay, so
it's computer crash. Realy got swarmed

342
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:14.799
by cats, one of whom pete
on her bed and then like computer crashulta

343
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.359
injury. Yeah, I like to
imagine one of the cats un blooded.

344
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.960
They're just she texted me, goose's
fault. I assume. I assume too.

345
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.559
Yeah, yeah, it looks it
also looks really good, like,

346
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.119
yeah, I guess what. I
like that. The character's attractive. That's

347
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.960
cool. That's fine with me,
Like, yeah, they did a good

348
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.200
job of designing that stuff. People
brave of you, I know, thank

349
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.319
you. I want to stand up
and people should applaud me. It is

350
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:47.519
certainly to the point of being like
so ridiculously t that it's like, of

351
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:51.559
course, it's not not like the
word isn't pathetic, but it is like,

352
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.119
okay, eye roll. Yeah,
yes, I don't mind looking at

353
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.200
it, but it is a little
bit like I want to point and laugh.

354
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:00.640
Yeah, of course I do,
and I'm do that as well,

355
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.279
Like I'm like, okay, fine, she's an attractive character. Design cool.

356
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.640
It is also kind of absurd.
How about you are putting the butt

357
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.880
in my face all the time,
and I'm gonna make fun of that too,

358
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.359
we can. Yeah, Like I'm
a Disney fan, obviously I love

359
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.440
being pandered too, but like I
don't feel great about it, Like I'm

360
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:23.039
not proud of myself, right,
like eating up the pandering. Yeah,

361
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.240
that's that is the and that is
the thing that's kind of happening with this

362
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.079
game is like people, I am
proud to be pandered too. Wow,

363
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:32.519
that's the weird thing about it.
Are because you're a big boy? Is

364
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.079
that? Like you're a big,
big baby boy. Yeah, okay,

365
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.319
chill out over there, yes,
go ahead. It looks so much like

366
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.079
near I don't think it's a problem, but it is. Again, it's

367
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.680
a little bit like of a slight
peg against like, oh, you didn't

368
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.759
have like much of your own ideas
esthetic. That's that's correct. I think

369
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.920
that's exactly what this game was,
even more so than like like Liza p

370
00:25:53.079 --> 00:26:00.599
obviously looked a lot like uh,
the blistered souls like blood blood Born,

371
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.559
but it was like, but like
there's a twist here, kind of like

372
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:06.119
I don't even know if there's a
twist here. It is at least what

373
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:07.839
we saw in that demo, which
isn't a lot. It could go in

374
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.559
other places. It just was Near
yep. And again, like that happens

375
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:17.039
a lot of times when the game
like Near comes around and it's influential,

376
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:18.440
gets a whole dev team like,
hey, we should make one of those.

377
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.119
And then so that's what they did. They made one of those.

378
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.799
And I bet it's not gonna have
the depth of storytelling or the high quality

379
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:32.000
of music or even like the quality
of characters that Near did, But I

380
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.599
bet it's gonna be a decent time. I bet it's gonna be just fine.

381
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.799
Like yeah, and I had a
good time with what I played so

382
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.480
far. It's just, uh man, the more we were talking about the

383
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.680
how the Internet is treating that game, and not the whole Internet, but

384
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.359
certain pockets of the Internet, it's
like Jesus Christ, guys, it's not

385
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.359
even a joke anymore. To go
touch grass literally fucking go outside and talk

386
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.480
to another human being in person,
you fucking dumb funny. And it's like

387
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.640
annoying because it does erase games like
Beyonetta and Near, like those games are

388
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.759
not that old. In fact,
Beynetta came out like what a year ago,

389
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.039
two years ago was like a year
or so ago. Yeah, these

390
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.599
games existing are out there, and
you guys ad like you're like parched in

391
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.720
the desert and this is your first
oasis you've seen in twenty years. Yeah,

392
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.839
we don't need to make it this
Culture Wars Savior. I think that

393
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:23.720
is doing a disservice to this game. They are also, they're not thinking

394
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.599
to you. They're just thinking about
like the horny folks out there. They

395
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.319
just want to play an action game. And yeah, and thank thanks y'all.

396
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.920
Anyone else got anything? Half of
all of them are yeah, yeah,

397
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.079
yeah yah behalf of all of them
are your representative, an ambassador of

398
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.359
sorts. Here. I am to
share the good word. What'd you guys

399
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.680
think about South Park game? Let's
talk about here so we don't talk about

400
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:53.880
on BombCast next week. I guess
it wasn't. I feared it might have

401
00:27:53.920 --> 00:28:00.480
been worse. I was shocked that
it is a co op thing, like

402
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:06.160
a co op mission based, maybe
run based game. I just assumed that

403
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:11.720
it was some kind of PvP experience, and I'm still not sure why it

404
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.960
isn't that it was pretty simple the
south Park humor. Mostly it worked.

405
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.000
Okay, I actually think it looked
fine. I wasn't that thrown off by

406
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.119
like the three D south Park.
Look, I think they may look Okay,

407
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.079
it was really simple and it was
on normal difficulty. It felt like

408
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:32.400
very mindless. It is like the
most five out of ten maybe like okay,

409
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:36.599
yes, this is like the baseline. This is the new most middle

410
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.400
game I could possibly think of.
Yeah, I think that's completely fair.

411
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.440
It's kind of how I felt coming
out, Like I did not hate it.

412
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.559
I was enjoying spending time with you
guys, just with shooting, shooting

413
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:52.039
the shit, playing a video game
that was inoffensive, although I think the

414
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.240
game would be would actually be mad
to be described as inoffensive because it's South

415
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:56.920
Park, but it is. It
kind of is. It's very Yeah,

416
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.000
it's it's familiar playing people. People
say these things that come sometimes like a

417
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.319
little like oh you know, I've
heard that before, But it is a

418
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.119
video game, right, How I
feel about it? Yeah, it does

419
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:14.079
feel a little toothless. Yeah,
because like that's how to train your dragon?

420
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:19.759
Oh okay, sorry, just because
like they're leading on the same jokes

421
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:25.640
that we've already heard before. And
it is also very odd that they're continuing

422
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.720
the timeline that's been established through the
What I think is the better South Park

423
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:36.559
games with of truth and fractured but
whole still the new kid, Like it's

424
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:40.880
still that timeline you were saying those
games. Haven't we known each other long

425
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.039
enough that I'm not the new kid
anymore? No? No, not at

426
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:48.440
all. Yeah, it feels perfectly
fine. But even then, grub,

427
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.240
I feel like there are several other
games that are feel that niche right,

428
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:55.559
Yeah, I mean and you,
I mean you said it about this game.

429
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:57.759
It immediately falls to that bucket of
we had a good time streaming it,

430
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:00.720
We're never gonna play it again,
and I'm not gonna ever loave that

431
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:06.799
game up again. You know.
Yeah, one day, this specific group

432
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:12.039
here will we'll have that same conversation
about Suicide Squad Better think better one day.

433
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.480
One day, I want to play
more Suicide Squad. But for some

434
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.240
reason, when I played on my
stream, not as many people went wat

435
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.200
I. As soon as I was
done writing the script for that, Like,

436
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.599
once the video went live on the
channel, I uninstalled it. I

437
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.039
was like, cool, I'm done
with it forever. I did see if

438
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:30.640
I did that the skull of the
Skull and Bones before the video, it

439
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.839
is even ugh, what if we
wait until Mike's birthday to play it on.

440
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.880
Oh, it'd be great, bat
how much exciting content will be out

441
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:42.160
by then, So many multiverse jokers
will be in the game. I can't

442
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:51.240
wait break news for the suicide squatters
out there. Jokers now available. And

443
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.559
if you're asking yourself, I thought
the Joker died in that universe. No,

444
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.880
it's a different universe joker that gets
pourted into this timeline we are.

445
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:03.039
We're really gonna have have a multiverse
reckoning here soon. It's getting super out

446
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:04.680
of control. I think it just
fizzles out right, we don't get a

447
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.480
reckoning. We just like everyone pretends
they didn't do that, and then they

448
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.799
start making like the next Spider Man
movie, they're gonna pretend it was the

449
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.039
last one wasn't a multiverse movie.
They might reference it, but mostly they'll

450
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.680
just kind of avert their games.
Yeah. Yeah, I think like it's

451
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.119
just gonna be like Man on the
Street, like Peter Parker stories from here

452
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.400
on out, hopefully. Yes,
I mean after Madam Web really changed the

453
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:32.519
sure Yeah, yeah, so everyone
should watch the Madam Web honest trailer.

454
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:34.000
By the way, I wrote on
that one, Okay, I meant to

455
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:38.880
ask you also check out Bailey's video
that you she put out that you put

456
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:44.960
out Bailey about your impressions of Madam
Web. It was it convinced me to

457
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.680
watch it and my thirteen minute long
rant that they did at the beginning of

458
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.279
stream, and I was just like, I'll just put this on YouTube.

459
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.960
It was amazing. Just I didn't
believe you. Yeah, I watched it.

460
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:57.640
I was trying not to spoil it, but I honestly, like I

461
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.599
said it there and I'll say it
again. I think kick a talk out

462
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.960
the movie for several hours and there
would still be something that would completely take

463
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:09.960
you by surprise watching it. It's
a wonderful movie. Watch it for webing

464
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.680
next us all, No man is
an web Island? Yeah, okay.

465
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:20.839
Any any other games y'all want to
talk about before we take a quick break

466
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:25.920
and get to the hot topic.
I'm playing more of that and I'll talk

467
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:30.640
about that on the Big boy Bomb
Cast for sure. Oh. A game

468
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:34.279
that I can finally say that I
have been playing that I'll talk about on

469
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.039
the Big boy BombCast is Harold Hallibit. Oh you've been playing that? Oh?

470
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.519
Yeah, holy ship? How do
the fuck does that game work?

471
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.599
Okay? Are you just flabbergasted by
the tech and the way it looks,

472
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.400
or are you enjoying the video game? I am curious about this, more

473
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:54.240
flabbergasted by the tech as as the
early stages where I'm at right now.

474
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:00.839
But just as we all know,
I don't like claymation with stop motion,

475
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:06.359
and how they're able to pull this
off just seems like an incredible technical feet

476
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.640
and I hope, I hope uh
that there's a lot more to the game

477
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:15.039
than the early bits and what the
trailer suggests. You kind of keep me

478
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.599
hooked because I do want to see
all of it, because it seems like

479
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:24.400
a labor of love that the devil
it does did to get this game even

480
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:30.400
out there or even working. I'm
gonna ask hold on, I'm going to

481
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:31.559
make a poll real quick, and
then we'll go to break now, you

482
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.039
know. I'll make the poll and
then we'll go to break. Well,

483
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:39.440
we'll go to break and then we'll
go to the pole. Now I need

484
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:44.400
I need new segment music. I
need I need like maybe flames and then

485
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:49.000
like a sick metal guitar riff so
I can like turn on this effect and

486
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:55.839
go the hot topic. It's good, Thank you, oh God, say

487
00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.640
it like the hot pocket theme hot
topic thing like that. Oh damn it,

488
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:06.240
you put in my head Now I
can't not say pocket. There was

489
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:12.559
a food truck at Yes thinking the
same thing, saying that we revolutionized the

490
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:15.599
way you hold food, and then
we ordered the food because we need a

491
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.760
little sniky snack. And then I'm
looking at it and I'm like, this

492
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:24.519
is just ananato. What the fuck? Like they had like it was like

493
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:29.559
the Italian sausage epinod and I was
like, this is actually just a hot

494
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:31.519
pocket. I liked it. Don't
get me wrong, but it was a

495
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:38.639
hot pocket. This week's hot topic
rating the Dare I say pocket again?

496
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:44.159
No? No, you said it
right, But but you could tell with

497
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:49.079
it? Yeah. Yeah, sometimes
my mouth don't work. Yeah, absolutely,

498
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:52.559
I get it. What that mouth
that do. I'm sorry everyone,

499
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:57.840
I'm gonna go take a long nap. This weekend, me to introduced a

500
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:00.960
segment I Can do It. Game
of the Core. We're celebrating the fiscal

501
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:07.280
end of the fiscal quarter bye by. We're going to unofficially officially crown game

502
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:13.119
of the quarter game of the year
so far. This will have no daring

503
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:15.719
and no effect on the actual game
of the year that happens later in the

504
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:23.559
year, just or will it.
I'm not pulling up an Excel sheet.

505
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:28.519
I am not pulling up the Eurovision. Yeah, well, two extra points

506
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:34.880
to whatever wins right now. And
we won't tell anyone else that isn't on

507
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:38.800
this. That's right. Don't even
know. We're the smart ones, right,

508
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.599
that's right. Come on, you
know we're the fan favorites. Everyone

509
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.960
loves us. We want to get
caught up on like a stupid geography quiz.

510
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:49.960
Right, No, No, We're
not going to make everyone feel uncomfortable.

511
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:55.639
At the beginning of the voicemailed down
truck yesterday that whatever happened, I

512
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:01.360
thought that anyway, if you're watching
live, I threw into the chat.

513
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:06.519
There a link that Greup sent me
that the Homies and game Spot put together

514
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:12.599
of twenty twenty four game release schedule. We're gonna just loosely use that to

515
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.719
build our should we come up with
ten? We could totally come up with

516
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.679
ten, right, I think we've
probably come up with ten. Let's see,

517
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:22.039
I bet we can at least come
up with five. No problem,

518
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:24.519
easy, let's see. All right, I'm gonna pull up a word doc.

519
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:29.320
I'll try and throw that up on
screen for folks. But what do

520
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:31.679
we think so far as the game
of the quarter. Should we just go

521
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:35.840
round and each nominate one real quick? Maybe do two rounds of nominating one?

522
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:37.159
Yeah, let's let's do that.
Do we want to stick around or

523
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:45.440
just like circle around? Let's circle
around and let's start with Bailey Elecha interesting.

524
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:49.400
Never would never would have predicted that
it's so funny. I think I

525
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:58.519
remember watching your first ballacho stream first
your account. I don't know, I

526
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:04.360
find that it'd be the upset you. I'm sorry. What do you think

527
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.320
Bailey would have said about why she
likes Blatro so much? It makes the

528
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:12.280
brain feel good? Okay, she's
gone, she's back, she's gone.

529
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:19.840
I think she's gone. I think
she's gone. Well hear that here.

530
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.880
Belatro is good because the cards you
put them in the down and then they

531
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:29.039
score a long points. And I
mean, what else could you really say

532
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.320
about Bilotro at this point that it
really is just it feels really good to

533
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:36.239
play. Uh, yeah, you
know, I love a good roguelike,

534
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.679
and this is one of the best
ones. I'd love how good of a

535
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.039
drop it does taking those poker mechanics. I think most people are familiar with

536
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.880
and if you are, you learned
them pretty quickly here. Yeah, you

537
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:51.800
know, it really does do a
lot of fun things in At first you're

538
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:53.960
like, oh, I can do
this build like basic stuff like oh flush

539
00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:57.760
is you know, three of the
kinds, and then you can get real

540
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:01.559
wacky stuff. The more you play, it does do a good job incentivizing

541
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.599
how you keep playing with the you
know, like you know, oh,

542
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:07.599
I want to be with this deck. I want to beat it on like

543
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.039
this hard mode, and then beating
it on that hard mode unlocks this new

544
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:14.599
deck and then you're unlocking new jokers
the whole time. So there's reasons to

545
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:16.880
keep going back to it. Yeah, and it's like a lot of that

546
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:24.639
stuff is like the basic Rogue light
stuff. Uh oh oh no, okay,

547
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.800
Bailey, we appreciate you. Thank
you for making the talk today.

548
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:35.960
Oh Bailey might sty in restart router
mode if you haven't done that yet.

549
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:43.760
It sucks. I'm glad that only
the very angry excavations are getting through.

550
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.639
Yeah, the Bailey and the machine. Yeah, you know what I thought,

551
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.760
I was a I should I should
have I saw something, I should

552
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:55.119
have sund something. As soon as
we started in Bailey's video wasn't looking good.

553
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.960
I was like, what hell,
this is Bailey? I think you're

554
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.159
kind of back now. No never
mind, No, she's not back.

555
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:09.440
He's not. He's got to she's
got to start Brodies. Well, join

556
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.599
us. Okay, the remainder of
the pod, but we'll we'll keep going

557
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:19.800
talking a lot. All right,
I'm just gonna, uh just ruining the

558
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:24.599
podcast now because of my I think
I think we are all getting her in

559
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:29.960
like fits and starts. I don't
even I don't know. Keep talking,

560
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:34.199
gentlemen, Yes, no problem,
okay, So billatro Mike, do you

561
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:38.440
have another game you want to add
on to the list? Final Fantasy seventh

562
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:45.440
Rebirth would be my first pick.
Actually, I love to remake a lot.

563
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:52.480
I think that Rebirth is actually better. The Skelevet is just absolutely incredible.

564
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:57.119
I love all the side stuff,
like to like, uh, the

565
00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:59.840
stuff it makes me do, and
then the stuff that is actually side stuff.

566
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.320
I think all that stuff is fun
and goofy and ridiculous, whether it's

567
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.719
like doing the military marches or suddenly
I'm playing like a carnival shooting game.

568
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:14.480
Queen's Blood just an all time incredible
mini game. Maybe the best in game

569
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:21.519
card game ever. Very good boss
I still probably the best combat system of

570
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:25.039
any game. I just love the
way fighting in this works. And you

571
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:29.239
know it was also good in remake. But now we have even more characters

572
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.320
than they all still feel really unique
and they're doing weird, wacky things.

573
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:37.920
Even Kate Sith Kate Sith. It
was such a non factor in original bas

574
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:42.239
simmer Me is a really fun character
here and kind of a more interesting character

575
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:45.480
all time. Great soundtrack, Just
love, love, love love the game.

576
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:52.199
Yeah, I think we can hear
you now. I don't have a

577
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.920
Bailey on my end. I have
a frozen Bailey. I don't have a

578
00:40:55.960 --> 00:41:04.880
Bailey window. Maybe if I have
to go by, I think we'll see

579
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.920
you on the other side. Yeah, if if you want to start the

580
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.840
PC and the modem, that might
work. But other than that, yeah,

581
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:22.039
I guess talk about about all right, I can see him, tell

582
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:30.199
him, I can she can see
you. I see you all right.

583
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:37.159
Yeah. Final Fantasy seven Rebirth is
kind of one that. Yeah, I

584
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.039
know I'm very particular. Okay,
okay, Bailey wants me to tell you

585
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:45.039
all that I am her Patricia Arquette. All right, Yeah, I would

586
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:51.360
have gone with Patrick Swayze or media
right and we'll be Goldberg. Sean,

587
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:55.920
please keep this audio in for right
now because it's gold with this one.

588
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:05.280
Sean Bailey, she's still there.
Bailey is saying, sorry, she clapped

589
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:10.400
so good this time. He clapped
really well, shut this whatever you want,

590
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:20.239
Chief Lowell microphone, don't keep that
in shute Okay, bye, Bail,

591
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:29.119
thank you. You think she's on
Wi Fi or what a baby?

592
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:36.800
I think she's not hardwired in there's
a chance. Yeah, I don't want

593
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:37.480
to say things. I don't want
trying to get mad at her. But

594
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:43.639
yeah, like a house with other
folks, sometimes you don't have a choice,

595
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:49.199
that's right. Yeah, ship just
dro holes and stuff. Yeah,

596
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:51.159
you're allowed to do that. And
when you're rented in place, definitely,

597
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:53.719
Yeah, I would. I would
to put Prince of Persia The Lost Crown

598
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:59.360
on h That's a game that immediately
feels good the second you pick it up.

599
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.119
Moving the character around is fantastic.
The combat actually is really engrossing right

600
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:06.679
away. It feels like you have
a lot of control to get in,

601
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:10.280
do an attack, get out,
there's and then it gets Everything gets deeper

602
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:15.280
the more you play, especially the
locomotion, getting around the world. You

603
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.679
have so many abilities at the end
of that game to do such cool stuff,

604
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:22.199
and then you realize you can like
sprinkle in like the like the shadow

605
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:25.480
that you can leave behind that you
can then warp to using that in combat

606
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:28.840
when it's like, oh, that's
a no, that's a getting around tool,

607
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:30.559
like no, that can also be
a combat tool, and a lot

608
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:35.320
of bosses forced you to use it. And once that happens and you can

609
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.559
and you realize you can use that
in any fight, it just continues to

610
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:42.159
open up what's possible in terms of
how the combat can feel in that game.

611
00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:46.960
And then that has great challenges to
really stress your ability to do platforming

612
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.960
and the combat, and it's just
it's great from top to bottom. I

613
00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:52.960
really enjoyed it. It's one of
my favorite Metroid Bana games of all time.

614
00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:58.159
Yeah, and I like it just
being a throwback to like the two

615
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:00.639
D Prints of Persia because I was
kind of getting I'm really tired and it

616
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.000
felt like they were running out of
ideas of what to do with like the

617
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:07.239
three D Prince of Persia's. They
definitely had some struggles there. Yes,

618
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:10.440
Yeah, I enjoyed that last one
with the Prince with the really long scarf

619
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:16.119
and you had the companion, but
not the last one that was the reboot.

620
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:22.320
Then they unbooted it with that other
game. It was Gotten Sands or

621
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.519
something. Yeah, okay, yeah, they did Prince of Persia, Stands

622
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:30.679
of Times, then the Edgy one, then Warrior Within Warrior Within two Thrones,

623
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.920
then just Prince of Persia, and
then that fourth one that went back

624
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:38.760
to the trilogy timeline. I think
about the reboot unboot all the time.

625
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.840
Yeah, this game really stands out
though as an early favorite for me this

626
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.599
year. Oh yeah, it is
some of the best two D combat and

627
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.519
best two D movement I've ever played
game. I love Metro Venias a lot,

628
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:57.679
and it is absolutely one of the
best of them. I'm excited for

629
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.320
that. We're getting some new contact
coming out for that not too long for

630
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:04.960
not I think it is actually like
on sale at the moment. I know

631
00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:07.239
some people if all we saw games
like I'm gonna wait till it goes on

632
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.119
sale. What's on sale now?
Like, so, uh, you know,

633
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:14.000
do it? I just give you
so much dand that you were on

634
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:21.239
some podcasts you said you played some
other Metro you were Zarah zaraz Ow.

635
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:22.039
Yes, yeah, and you were
like, oh, the movement in this

636
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:27.599
like actually like like like is way
better than in uh Prince of Persian.

637
00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:32.000
I got mad at you. Oh
yeah, please please. I was like,

638
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:36.559
I don't believe you, just because
I like this game so much,

639
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:38.280
Like, nah, I can't be
right. I hope it is, though,

640
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.639
I'm excited for that game now.
Yeah, this this, uh,

641
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:46.679
I feel like two D platforming for
me personally kind of peeked around us Celeste

642
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:52.800
and just kind of like that white
knuckle like gripping the controller just like really

643
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:59.639
high tense, stressed platforming puzzles.
But this game, Prince of Persia really

644
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:06.119
the levels where that is the main
goal. And I was initially frustrated with

645
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:10.079
some of like the more time sensitive
puzzle platforming bits, but they just nailed

646
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:14.000
this, and just every part of
the game just feels so well designed that

647
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:17.320
like, yo, we got Prince
of Persia. Let's actually do this ip

648
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:22.920
justice by doing the cheat code and
making this a castle a Castlevania game,

649
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:27.280
because that's what just makes everything better. Turns out, it makes it all

650
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.320
better. Yes, it's a cheat
code. Jan, I think it's your

651
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:37.199
turn to pick a game. I'm
going to nominate Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.

652
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:42.000
Hell yeah, uh hawlly smokes.
I really enjoyed the original Like a

653
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:47.400
Dragon and Ichibon as a character,
that whole cavalcade of a bunch of bumbling

654
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:54.360
bozos, and I thought it'd be
a bit challenging and to hopefully recapture that

655
00:46:54.519 --> 00:47:00.800
magic with a second game, especially
seeing that they were going to add Kirau

656
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:02.880
back in because I thought we had
reached the end of kirius story. I

657
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:08.960
thought, maybe is a Sega not
showing as much confidence in Ichibon as a

658
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:14.639
protagonist that they have to go back
and lean on kiri You constantly. But

659
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:22.679
the way that the story eventually winds
up evolving with wrestling with Ichibond's growth and

660
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:29.960
Kiriu's growth as well him as a
character. And even if you're not familiar

661
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:35.039
with the Yakuza story, you can
still gleam a lot of emotional resonance from

662
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:37.719
it. And on top of that, I think, next to you Final

663
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:43.559
Fantasy seven Rebirth, this is a
very incredible twist on like turn based combat

664
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:51.280
that is super active in a fun
way. I think one of the biggest

665
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:54.320
drawbacks for me in the original,
Like a Dragon is that you had no

666
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:58.920
control at all over positionality. When
it came to any of the combat,

667
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:00.199
you kind of just had to do
to make a difference. It was kind

668
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:04.239
of just this like for show thing. Yeah yeah, like you kind of

669
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.519
dumb lucked your way if like an
enemy got hit by a car, if

670
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:12.360
you got hit by a car.
But here it matters so much. I

671
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:16.400
thought it'd be overwhelmed by the social
link style relationships with your friends, but

672
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:21.840
it winds up really mattering down the
line, not just for like adding context

673
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:25.920
to the story, but really to
just level up those relationships so the combat

674
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:30.920
flows even better, because at first
it feels a little bit disconnected that you're

675
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:35.519
just taking turns with all the characters, but then you slowly start adding in

676
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.320
those different elements and like it is
just you and a bunch of friends beating

677
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:44.559
up a bunch of dumbasses. And
there's so much in the game on top

678
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:50.119
of that, like to try and
explore, Like I spent so long on

679
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.280
Dan Doco Island when it was first
some lock to me, like there's a

680
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:57.159
whole animal crossing of this game,
which I think is absolutely amazing, And

681
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:02.679
there's some parts of it that feel
better than Animal Crossing that I think it

682
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:08.519
is amazing that like this could have
totally been a standalone DLC mode that they

683
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:14.679
spin off for like twenty thirty bucks. Even that is all in this game,

684
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:16.239
and then there's even more with a
side quest. I know that the

685
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:20.800
side quest kind of fell short for
a lot of folks, but in my

686
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:24.960
experience with the ones that I pursued, I really liked it. And ichibon

687
00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:30.360
Jesus Christ, what a fucking character, What a guy that he's a dude's

688
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:34.239
dude. And I said this when
we were initially talking about it. I

689
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:39.719
think playing games like this, where
you have more of an adult cast that

690
00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:46.119
feels real, is ultimately what is
hurting my future enjoyment or current enjoyment of

691
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:53.199
games like the Persona series, completely
different games, but just having those relationships

692
00:49:53.400 --> 00:50:00.199
feel adult and having semi real issues
that they're dealing with in fantastical ways.

693
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:07.400
Of course, it just hits home
harder than trying to tap into that teeny

694
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:13.440
teeny bopper story so far. And
that's why I think like a Dragon infinite

695
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:16.159
wealth in our top ten, we'll
go for a ten. Let's do a

696
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:20.920
ten. Yeah, we'll make it
to a ten. Yeah, that would

697
00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:22.440
have been my next one as well, so and echo everything. I just

698
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:28.119
think it's such a really fun ride, and then it does a good job

699
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.039
of making you care about those characters. By the end, I was just

700
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:34.199
so in love with all the characters, and that they're in their endings really

701
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.280
hit. I think the games like
ending to its plot wasn't you're fighting this

702
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:40.119
particular guy and I'm like, I
don't really care about this all that much,

703
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:45.360
But everything else surrounding that was fantastic. And yeah, the combat is

704
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:47.760
it was fun the entire time I
played the game, so just really enjoyed

705
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:52.840
that. I think the next game
I would probably put up there is hell

706
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.039
Diverse too, a game that I've
enjoyed every time I've played it with you

707
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:59.199
all, and then I've played a
handful of times now on my own and

708
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:02.079
continue to have really good time with
it. I think it's easily gonna have

709
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:07.199
a good shot at getting into our
top five on this list. Yeah,

710
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:10.639
despite a lot of us really mostly
primarily playing it on stream. I think

711
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:16.559
for me this recaptures that feeling of
jumping into Apex where I don't have to

712
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:21.119
worry about playing with strangers. I
can have a good time playing with strangers

713
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:25.000
because the tools in the game,
and just like everyone's objective is pretty unified,

714
00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:29.280
where ye all right, we're gonna
work together because we kind of have

715
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:34.320
to. Even if you come across
players that that aren't on Mike, and

716
00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:37.920
that's fine because I'm rarely on Mike
either. Everyone is fairly cooperative, but

717
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:40.880
if you wind up matching with someone
that is super well experienced kind of just

718
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:47.119
grinding it out, they and they
kind of stonewall you. They eventually wind

719
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:51.360
up having to work with you.
Anyway. They just have it okay to

720
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:55.239
a good time. Yep. I
also love how they've been rolling out new

721
00:51:55.280 --> 00:52:00.280
content. It makes the world feel
alive, like y'all see all those fire

722
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:05.119
tornadoes. Like a week ago,
I've been able to play ODT. Second,

723
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:07.920
I feel bad about it because I
love the game and I definitely want

724
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:09.960
to go back and play more of
it because every time I do play the

725
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:14.119
game, I have a fantastic time. Yep. It's one of those where

726
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:16.599
it's like, you know, one
of those PV games where you are going

727
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:20.719
in there and you have an objective
and it's really intense, and yet it

728
00:52:20.840 --> 00:52:23.039
is still also like that fun chat
room where you're hanging out and then any

729
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:27.760
moment now some new things happening,
that it's gonna be a fun story.

730
00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:31.559
I mean, I do remember the
one time we're trying to evacuate and everyone's

731
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:35.400
dying around me, and I'm just
like kind of jumping up on boxes and

732
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:39.960
just barely avoiding everything and jumping onto
the the evacuation plane at the last second,

733
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:44.119
and it just felt so cool and
fun and intense because everyone's yelling at

734
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:49.199
me just to survive. So yeah, good moments, good time, I

735
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.800
think, Mike, that means it's
back to you. I've I've also asked

736
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.199
Bailey if she's what she wants to
give me your second game, so she

737
00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:57.239
throws something at me. I'll let
you guys know that totally. Last one

738
00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:59.039
was my turn, but you skip
me. But that's okay, Well I

739
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:02.400
won't say anything. Okay, Well
that doesn't matter to me. I do

740
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:07.880
Teching eight next. Actually, I'm
glad you. Yeah. I was excited

741
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:12.559
because I actually never really played much
Techa before, and I was really in

742
00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:15.679
the mood to play a three D
fighting game, so I was excited for

743
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.920
this one, and it really delivered. It has like a fun over the

744
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:23.559
top story mode. I actually really
liked the arcade quest mode though, which

745
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:27.639
is like kind of a tutorial,
but also it gives you a chance to

746
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:30.880
like pick your character and have a
kind of story focused thing that gives you

747
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:34.880
an excuse to play a lot of
matches and learn how that works. And

748
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.960
there's like this you know, dumb
anime arc about like you know, like

749
00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:42.880
what's it really mean to play tech
and stupid stuff like that. But it's

750
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:45.079
a lot of fun. But even
just like climbing the ladder, you know,

751
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:49.280
picking a character I want with Raina
and just like learning to get really

752
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:52.880
you know, like like decent with
her, learning combo strings and all these

753
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:59.400
mechanics. It was always a ton
of fun. It's a very satisfying fighting

754
00:53:59.480 --> 00:54:02.599
game of great characters in there.
I think all the new editions, even

755
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:06.760
Coffee Lady, are a lot of
fun. I see a lot of people

756
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:10.599
playing the new characters really like Victor, Coffee Lady Raina always seem to be

757
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:15.800
popular choices, and I feel bad
calling your coffee as Zusina as you've seen

758
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:16.920
as you're seeing that, Yeah,
I did it. I did it.

759
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:22.159
Everybody afo tech ND rules, I
get it. Yeah, I'm and I

760
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:24.360
haven't played as much as you,
but what I have played, I really

761
00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:28.679
was in love with that game.
It's like think you guys described it early

762
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:31.039
on. It's like a competent game
a very confident player and that that comes

763
00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:35.360
across immediately, and I think all
the characters look great and it just has

764
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:39.159
such great juice. It really does. The thing with tech and eight that

765
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:43.920
I'm most excited for is seeing its
presence in EVO this year. Yeah,

766
00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:46.920
I can block. I'm always excited
to see the finals in Yeah, and

767
00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:52.760
then just seeing that game looking nicer, performing solid. I can't wait for

768
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:57.559
that block Jesus Yep, it's gonna
be a good time. Jane. I

769
00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:00.599
think it's you again. Even though
I've spent pretty limited time in it and

770
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:06.239
the game has been crashing on me
like a motherfucker, there is something about

771
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:10.519
Dragon's Dogma two that gets its hooks
into me, that taps into that feeling

772
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:15.519
of being playing Breath of the Wild
or Tears of the Kingdom, and I

773
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:22.599
tend to bounce off of fantasy games
really quickly. Take care. I didn't

774
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:28.000
really like SKYRIMW just because it just
never felt like it was for me.

775
00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:34.360
But I think the ability to constantly
have a posse of folks following you around

776
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:37.079
and all of them to be fairly
competent, Like I don't think I've ever

777
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:40.159
been frustrated with a pawn actually,
now that I think about it. And

778
00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:46.440
seeing that extreme example yesterday during your
stream grub where you and dark Mitch are

779
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:51.800
gripping for dear life onto a griffin, dark Mitch falls off. You fall

780
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:53.559
off eventually, and then dark Mitch
is there to catch you, I think

781
00:55:55.000 --> 00:56:00.559
really really wows me in such a
special way because I think there is so

782
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:07.559
much dumb possibilities in this game,
with even your tool set kind of feeling

783
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:13.119
fairly limited, Like I kind of
miss being able to reliably fast travel around.

784
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:17.039
I miss a lot of quality of
life things from other games like like

785
00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:23.920
this. I wish I had an
ascend for instance. Sure, but pairing

786
00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:30.159
that with the the dumb shenanigans and
having like a giant party, and it

787
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:37.039
just feels like a a weird,
terrifying world to live in. Like last

788
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:40.679
night, I fought what I think
was a were wolf giant wolf or something.

789
00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:45.400
Yeah, I thought that guy a
war wolf. Uh, And then

790
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:50.280
you know, I had three pawns
with me, my my trustee group with

791
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:52.760
me, and I felt confident enough
to take take it on, even though

792
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:58.199
it had like a pretty substantial health
bar. And then out of nowhere,

793
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:02.039
four other PCs jump in and join
the fray, and there were just like

794
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:07.280
thieves jumping around a bunch of like
sprays of fire and lightning happening, And

795
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:12.119
it feels so great. The possibilities
are endless. And I can tell you

796
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:16.039
someone that really enjoys story in video
games. I don't fucking care about anything

797
00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:21.880
happening within the story here, the
game play and the shenanigans, the open

798
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.920
world tomfoolery is enough to like propel
me through. I just I just like

799
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:28.639
having a party in a game like
this. Yeah, we're like, oh,

800
00:57:28.719 --> 00:57:30.000
yeah, what if you did have
a party in a Skyrim that would

801
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:34.440
have been really neat. Yeah,
and it feels like that here. Yeah

802
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:37.679
you had you had you have like
maybe one retainer in Skyrim, And I

803
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.079
would usually actually never do that because
they usually just kind of got in the

804
00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:44.880
way. Yeah, And like you
know, uh, Mike and I we

805
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:50.320
both enjoy the Kingdom Hearts series,
but sometimes Donald and Goofy are absolutely useless.

806
00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:52.880
No, how dare you? And
then, like, unless it's a

807
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:57.960
game like Final Fantasy seven Rebirth where
you're giving you're given direct control of your

808
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.719
party members, like they can kind
of feel perfluous and just like just get

809
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.880
in the way here. The pawns
are actually substantial, they're they're doing things

810
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:09.159
like I don't want to imagine playing
the game solo Dollo because then it feels

811
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:15.800
very very lonely and despite the constant
chatter, and I mean constant chat,

812
00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:21.440
there always popping off. I adore
it. I absolutely love it. This

813
00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:25.159
is like a goofy ass game that
I think a lot of folks should check

814
00:58:25.159 --> 00:58:28.840
out, and it seems like a
lot of folks are really digging it and

815
00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:31.639
enjoying it. It's definitely reached a
wider audience this time around. Oh yeah,

816
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:35.480
just doing very well. Yep.
Uh, Mike, it's my turn,

817
00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:37.239
but I'll let you go first this
time. That's very nice of you,

818
00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:43.679
jeff I. I noticed I noticed
Jance Persona Slander earlier, and I'm

819
00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:49.039
not going to abide it because Persona
three Reload is absolutely one of my favorite

820
00:58:49.079 --> 00:58:52.519
games still been. I've been playing
it consistently almost since it came out.

821
00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:55.639
Like the way I like more than
a month, right, Yeah, that's

822
00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:59.320
the way I like to play Persona
games. Like sure, I'll just play

823
00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:02.079
like hour of it every night before
I fall asleep in bed. It's it

824
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:07.840
runs fantastic on the rog Ally.
I'm you know, like almost into December

825
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:12.039
now, so pretty far along.
But man, this is the best Persona

826
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.920
game now, Like I think it
just Person three was always very good.

827
00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:20.400
It was always kind of the first
one, so there's some awkwardness there with

828
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:22.519
the way that it worked, and
you know, it was a late PS

829
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:25.480
two games. Wasn't the most pretty
thing. Then. You know, throughout

830
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:30.199
other releases like Portable, they fix
things here and there. Now this game

831
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:34.000
really does look fantastic. I think
a lot of the rougher edges have been

832
00:59:34.039 --> 00:59:37.960
ironed out. There is some new
content here, new character moments that are

833
00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:43.320
fantastic. I like Persona five,
but there is something about this that is

834
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:47.039
a bit more streamlined, just not
maybe quite as much fat as Persona five

835
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:50.440
fasts, and I like a lot
of that fat fat as flavor. Right,

836
00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:53.320
that's fine, but this is a
leanar experience that sometimes is a bit

837
00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:57.559
more digestible. I don't know why
I'm making it all about food. I'm

838
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:00.360
hungry, right, But it's just
a very satisfying loop of like, yeah,

839
01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:04.000
for a while, I'm gonna do
all this social stuff and that's gonna

840
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:07.400
feel good. And then you get
into Tartarus and I've played enough of these

841
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:13.360
games now that I can like really
have very good long sessions in that kind

842
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:17.719
of randomized dungeon world now and just
constantly making my persona. It's always,

843
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:22.519
it always has been a good loop. But it feels fantastic here. I

844
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:27.079
think adding things to the battle system, like the kind of limit break things

845
01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:30.960
that you have now, and the
ability to if you get a hit a

846
01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:35.039
weakness, you can pass your turn
to a party member that was from five.

847
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:40.320
I love having that in here.
It is just smooth a f I

848
01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:45.639
am loving Persona three relove. I'm
waiting for the lull and the year mic

849
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:49.920
for to eventually circle back, because
I feel like I've gone everything from the

850
01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:53.159
Infinite Wealth still in the way to
finishing Rebirth and then I just want to

851
01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:58.559
like sink my teeth into Persona.
There were a lot of big, very

852
01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:01.079
good RPGs in beginning the year.
I have not touched Infinite Wealth yet,

853
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:04.800
and I feel bad about it,
and I still mean to get to it.

854
01:01:05.239 --> 01:01:07.280
I also really want to play Unicorn
over Lord. I feel bad that

855
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:10.480
I want to play that too.
I feel bad I can't speak to it

856
01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:15.039
to this list because people do really
like it. I haven't touched a second

857
01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:19.239
of that one yet. Yeah,
so we have two spots left. That

858
01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:21.400
doesn't mean we have a stop of
the tube. We can add a couple

859
01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:23.679
more and then start maybe pairing back
real quick. But uh so I figured

860
01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:30.159
I just throw out a couple real
quick. Our Z. Oh absolutely,

861
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:34.360
yes, that's one of my favorite
games of the year. I really really

862
01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:37.840
enjoy what I've played of that.
I'm on this game spot list. Is

863
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:40.239
it what the it's it's not here. I'll send you guys another list.

864
01:01:40.559 --> 01:01:50.280
That's what I'll log into their CMS
and addict. Yeah, we'll fix it.

865
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:53.920
Our That's like really, it's really
special in that it captures a very

866
01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:59.760
specific time, a very specific feeling
of game of these early f and vs

867
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:04.280
where in early CD gaming, where
like we didn't know what was possible and

868
01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:06.760
we were kind of I think I
was looking off from the side thing.

869
01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:09.119
Most people were looking off from the
sideline at these things and be like that

870
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:14.280
looks weird and expensive. And I'm
like curious, but I will never ever

871
01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:16.320
actually get to play that because it's
way too expensive. And what this does

872
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:22.079
is it gives me a chance to
experience that today with people who understand that

873
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:24.320
feeling, who understand like, like
what is going on over there? And

874
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:29.360
they remade a game basically just like
that, with the weird animation style that

875
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:34.280
has like no rules and the terrible
voice acting that is actually terrible in a

876
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:37.480
super charming way in this game.
And then they made an inoffensive, like

877
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:40.679
little fun platform or game where you
go back and forth and do tasks to

878
01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:45.280
be able to meet new characters that
are always so fun to meet because they

879
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:49.159
do have this wild animation and these
wild character voices, so they think,

880
01:02:51.159 --> 01:02:53.559
yeah, yeah, they know what
they're doing. And they nailed it in,

881
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:58.079
you know, as someone that has
like no reverence and has only ever

882
01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:04.519
seen like maybe the first scene that
game. This absolutely is on an acid

883
01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:08.280
trip the whole way through. And
if you have no interest in playing this

884
01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:14.000
game, I highly recommend just playthrough, maybe lay through, just just so

885
01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:19.400
you can see the cut scenes because
it is cinema yo, Like it's fun

886
01:03:19.519 --> 01:03:24.480
over Scorsese, Like CD controller got
one of those cd I controllers from Limited

887
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:29.039
Run. That's the tom Cast.
Well, you just gave it to me

888
01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:32.199
for my birthday. I think,
yes, the ruled felt pressured by you.

889
01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:38.679
I love this game. I like
admire it deeply. I think it's

890
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:44.400
so cool what they did here,
taking this like infamously bad game and like

891
01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:49.159
like making something that's like kind of
a parody but then also like fun and

892
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:53.519
good to Yeah, awesome. I
want to see so much more of right

893
01:03:53.639 --> 01:03:58.599
in terms of like a video game, like having a very specific goal and

894
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:01.159
then achieving that. This is like
way up there with me. I'm going

895
01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:03.559
to be shocked if this isn't in
my top ten by the end of the

896
01:04:03.719 --> 01:04:06.679
year. I had a stupid smile
on my face almost the entire time I

897
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:10.159
played this thing. It's like like
if you ever had a kid that like

898
01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:14.039
loved an ugly toy, That's what
CDI games are, like, just this

899
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.000
ugly thing and having someone like grow
up and then be able to express that

900
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:20.960
love in their own game. It
just is so nice to experience. The

901
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.960
other one is gonna say is Expeditions, a mud runner game, which we'll

902
01:04:24.960 --> 01:04:27.559
see if it's gonna be able to
make the list. But I have been

903
01:04:27.639 --> 01:04:30.599
enjoying it. It rules a great
steam that game, actually, because they

904
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:33.400
do make it more bite size and
just like picking it up and be like,

905
01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:35.280
all right, I was in the
middle of this task. I will

906
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:39.800
I'll go get my other truck and
we'll just keep keep going to the goal

907
01:04:39.880 --> 01:04:42.639
here. I see if I can
rescue that other truck one on my way

908
01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:45.840
there. It's the quest design's actually
much better thought out than any of the

909
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.239
previous games as well, so I'm
enjoying it quite a bit awesome. What

910
01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:53.519
about what about Pennies Big Breakaway?
Yeah, I like that a lot.

911
01:04:53.679 --> 01:04:56.119
I just haven't liked that. Played
enough of it. I feel don't put

912
01:04:56.119 --> 01:04:59.159
it on there, definitely want to
play more of it same, that's for

913
01:04:59.239 --> 01:05:04.079
sure. I am liking it.
I would want to put on Unicorn Overlord.

914
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:10.400
I don't know if it's gonna hang
on my toph God hang stick around

915
01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:14.800
on my top ten until the end
of the year. We'll see. I

916
01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:16.760
also don't think it's gonna probably make
its way to the top ten of like

917
01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:19.960
the site's list by the end of
the year. I'm gonna play. I'm

918
01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:23.719
gonna try it and we'll see.
Well. But that being said, like

919
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:29.320
I really like the flow of combat
and the gameplay. The story is hit

920
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:32.639
or miss, it's incredibly okay,
very middle of the road while we're throwing

921
01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:40.400
out buzz words, but just the
way that once you get kitted out,

922
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:46.199
and once you unlock enough party members
and tile sets. I was really disappointed

923
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:50.760
when I fired up the game and
learn that you're not actively controlling your party

924
01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:57.639
members other than guiding them around a
map, Like I was disappointed when I've

925
01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:01.239
eventually gone to combat and saw that
I'm not direc giving them orders or whatever.

926
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:05.599
But then that pretty quickly goes out
the window once you see like the

927
01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:12.599
depth that is available there in seeing
how the different abilities and especially the different

928
01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:17.519
characters and specifically specific units really synergize
well with each other. That by the

929
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:21.320
end or not by the end,
but by the time where the gate you're

930
01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:26.239
really into the thick of it with
a combat, it's really singing and it

931
01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:31.719
feels incredibly satisfying just seeing the meters
tick off and not giving any opponents or

932
01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:39.840
enemies even the chance to attack,
Like you're going into encounters where the whole

933
01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:43.960
time the boss is taunting you of
like I'm gonna get youall you're not gonna

934
01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:45.760
be able to get past me.
I'm a big wall of the person,

935
01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:51.880
and then you eventually get there and
completely like thank you. You completely rinse

936
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:58.800
through them so easily because the way
that you have two party groups just synergizes

937
01:06:58.880 --> 01:07:02.199
so well, where you're able to
like bash a front line with hammers,

938
01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:06.280
and then your front line is just
nothing but thieves so they never get hit.

939
01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:13.760
The demo for this game is incredibly
generous. It'll give you a good

940
01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:16.320
sense of whether or not this you'll
this will be for you, and whether

941
01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:19.679
or not you want to stick with
it. I think it's really special,

942
01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:26.559
and I don't want this to fall
into the same spot that deal Field Chronicles

943
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:29.880
fell into, because I feel like
that game also had a lot of neat

944
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:33.280
things that it was trying to pull
off. I think Unicorn Overlord is pulling

945
01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:38.760
off different things. But I think
it is such a neat idea to approach

946
01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:42.400
turn based combat strategy combat. And
it also has tiles, so you know

947
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:44.559
it's going to be like I need, I need to experience it for myself.

948
01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:45.920
I have the demo on the switch. I'm just gonna finally play it

949
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:49.079
this weekend. It runs incredibly well
this is the game I want to play

950
01:07:49.119 --> 01:07:51.639
the most that I haven't played,
probably once I beat PERSONA three. This

951
01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:57.920
is like my new like nighttime portable
gaming thing though. Oh yeah yeah,

952
01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:00.239
even before like a dragonau So I
actually want to play this even more than

953
01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:04.360
that. Really excited. I think
you could at least put it up on

954
01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:09.960
the list for now, jan yeah's
put that up there. Yeah. Oh,

955
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:15.519
also it's a it's a Vanilla ware
joint, so all you Sussio motherfucker's

956
01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:20.279
out there. Those character designs,
there is a lot. What are you

957
01:08:20.359 --> 01:08:25.479
talking about. Characters in every vigame
had been ugly until Stellar Blake came out.

958
01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:30.840
All right, I'm stupid. Yeah, I'm the beta here, your

959
01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:33.640
beta powers off the charts. Very
excited. There's Fox girls in the game.

960
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:40.720
Yes, I did get a message
from Bailey. She said like a

961
01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:45.079
Dragon and she also said that new
sheer in the Wanderer game. Oh I

962
01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:48.239
want to play that real bad.
The Wonder for people who don't know,

963
01:08:48.439 --> 01:08:51.720
is like the Mystery Dungeon people.
It's like the mystery dungeon game they make

964
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:56.760
that isn't tied to another I p
like the Pokemon one or like the Chocobo

965
01:08:56.840 --> 01:09:00.039
Wan. Yeah, I need to
check this one out so pretty badly.

966
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:03.000
But you can delete that jam because
we have none of us have played it.

967
01:09:05.439 --> 01:09:08.840
Sorry, Bailey. Yeah, next
time, just come to packs and

968
01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:11.199
tell me all how good she're in
the Wonder is and maybe I'll play it.

969
01:09:11.479 --> 01:09:15.720
I'm Bailey because I respect women.
Oh man, there he is women

970
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:20.000
woman. Yeah. All right,
so we have uh kind of like,

971
01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:24.760
let's see one, get rid of
one. Okay, I was about to

972
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:27.239
count, but thank you counted for
me. All right. Well yeah,

973
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:32.359
let's get rid of one, all
right, get rid of expeditions and you

974
01:09:32.479 --> 01:09:35.880
know, I mean I I want
to check this out. Yeah, what's

975
01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:39.960
what's the multiplayers acting? Which it
might be by now I'll make you assholes

976
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:45.760
play this game. Uh. I
didn't realize how heavy of an RPG year

977
01:09:45.840 --> 01:09:50.600
this was until looking at this now. It's been insane. Here's my question

978
01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:55.199
for for uh, for you two, do you think that we've kind of

979
01:09:55.279 --> 01:09:59.640
peaked in this first quarter because it
feels like things are going to slow down?

980
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:01.680
I mean, I think you're still
there's quite a few games I'm still

981
01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:04.800
looking forward to, but it's not
like the first quarter was. I mean,

982
01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:09.960
come on, we had suicide Squad
I thought about trying to get suicides.

983
01:10:13.479 --> 01:10:15.119
Yeah, listen, it was a
first quarter heavy year, which might

984
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.199
make this a bit redundan when we
get to the end of the year.

985
01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:20.199
But who knows. Like I,
like I said, I keep hearing Dragon

986
01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:24.159
agees coming. Maybe there's gonna be
a lot more surprises like that actually coming

987
01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:27.840
out this year. Star Wars Outlaws
is still supposed to come out this year,

988
01:10:27.920 --> 01:10:30.680
right, Is that true that that's
supposed to be this year? I

989
01:10:30.760 --> 01:10:34.720
think yeah, plenty look forward to
then. Yeah, yeah, I'm I

990
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:40.479
am excited for that thousand Year Door
remake. Now it's actually looking pretty good.

991
01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:43.239
I love that game, so I'm
excited for that. Yeah. I'm

992
01:10:43.239 --> 01:10:48.960
also I'm growing curious about Dragon ball
Z Sparking Zero. I've heard, I've

993
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:51.840
heard interesting thing. I've got some
good news for you. I'll send you

994
01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:58.840
for you an email, Oh,
hot Dog. Yeah, yeah, you

995
01:10:59.359 --> 01:11:02.039
know, looking at the order of
this list, it's not that uh you

996
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:05.800
know what, Yeah, listen,
I think uh, I would like to

997
01:11:05.840 --> 01:11:09.760
see like a Dragon Infinite Wealth above
Fi Fantasy seven rebirth, but I know

998
01:11:09.840 --> 01:11:13.039
that I think it's probably just now. So yeah, I think I'm okay

999
01:11:13.119 --> 01:11:16.000
with accepting at least the first five
and then the bottom five looks good?

1000
01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:19.520
Actually, can we move our zett
up to six right behind hell Divers two?

1001
01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:24.439
I would move up as much as
you want. All right, let's

1002
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:28.479
move I'll put it above hell Divers
too. Let's move it above hell Divers

1003
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:32.560
too. Yeah, that actually rules. Yeah, you know, I would

1004
01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:39.159
maybe say it, Mike, put
Persona over Dragon's Dogma. We'll do that

1005
01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:42.119
for now. We'll do that.
Can we can we move Dragons, Dogma

1006
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:48.920
and Persona above tench and eight?
Um, sure, I'll back you up

1007
01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:51.319
on that. Thank you, Jan, you're in control. Sews upset,

1008
01:11:51.520 --> 01:11:56.800
se I objected. Let it be
known then, okay. Yeah, there's

1009
01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:00.159
there's still a couple of titles this
year that I'm fairly excited about. Like

1010
01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:03.199
I want to see how Stellar Blade's
gonna land. I want to see uh

1011
01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:08.680
is metaphor Refantasio that's supposed to be
this year. That's this year, Harold

1012
01:12:08.720 --> 01:12:14.640
Howlibut is April sixteenth. Yeah,
I want to see the whole game Children

1013
01:12:14.720 --> 01:12:16.680
of the Sun, that a sniper
game I played on the demo Derby.

1014
01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:20.560
They're not you have a dimmer thing
that is coming out coming out like a

1015
01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:27.399
week from now. What is another
game I want to circle back to and

1016
01:12:27.560 --> 01:12:30.359
maybe convince y'all to do it with
me. Is Grain and Blue Fantasy Reeling.

1017
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:34.159
Yeah I did. I just downloaded
that on my Steam deck. Okay.

1018
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:38.159
I don't know why because I'm it's
not a me game, but I'm

1019
01:12:38.239 --> 01:12:41.880
I downloaded on my Steam deck.
Uh. Yeah, there's a But there's

1020
01:12:41.880 --> 01:12:44.800
a bunch of coming out still,
like another Crabs, Treasure, that Teenage

1021
01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:47.039
Mutant, Ninja, Turtles Arcade,
Wrath of the Mutants, Tales of Kinzera

1022
01:12:47.199 --> 01:12:51.520
Zoo. Yeah, there's a lot
to look forward to. But Home World

1023
01:12:51.520 --> 01:12:54.279
three is the one I was thinking. I'm like, yeah, I'm ready

1024
01:12:54.279 --> 01:12:58.760
for another Home World game, But
two's coming out in May. Comes out

1025
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:01.840
in May. Yeah. Do you
want me to read this list for the

1026
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:04.920
audio listeners? I think we're happy
with this list as is right. Yeah,

1027
01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:06.840
So Mike, why don't you go
ahead and read it, start from

1028
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:12.119
ten and work your way down.
So these are our top ten games of

1029
01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:16.800
the first fiscal quarter of twenty twenty
four. At number ten Unicorn Overlord,

1030
01:13:17.159 --> 01:13:23.159
number nine, Tech and eight,
number eight, Dragon's Dogma two. Number

1031
01:13:23.439 --> 01:13:29.399
seven is Persona three Reload, number
six, Hell Divers two Number five is

1032
01:13:29.520 --> 01:13:32.920
our Zet, the Jewel of Fairmore. Number four is like a dragon infinite

1033
01:13:33.039 --> 01:13:38.159
wealth. Number three is Prince of
Persia, the Lost Crown. Number two

1034
01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:43.600
is Foo Fantasy seven Rebirth, and
number one who could have seen it coming?

1035
01:13:43.680 --> 01:13:47.199
It's Bilatro. Yeah. I want
to play another quick game here with

1036
01:13:47.319 --> 01:13:53.119
you two and the folks at home, if you're listening live, I want

1037
01:13:53.239 --> 01:13:58.319
y'all to do a mind exercise of
how much some of these items are going

1038
01:13:58.399 --> 01:14:01.000
to move by the end of the
year. Oh yeah, okay, I

1039
01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:04.359
think I would put money now that
Blotro is going to win our Game of

1040
01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:08.720
the year. Yeah, that was
an interesting Pollcuson I saw in the chat.

1041
01:14:08.760 --> 01:14:11.800
It's like, is twenty twenty fours
game of the year on this list

1042
01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:15.479
right now? Blocho's just like,
I really like Blocho. It's not gonna

1043
01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:19.000
I one if it's gonna be on
my top five. I have a little

1044
01:14:19.039 --> 01:14:24.840
bit of that snobby important scale thing
in me, something importance. I have

1045
01:14:24.920 --> 01:14:29.159
a little bit of the best Jeff
back in your defense, you're much better

1046
01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:30.319
than you used to be about that
Mike. You used to be like to

1047
01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:32.880
be completely dismissive of games like this, and now you're like, no,

1048
01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:36.760
I like these and playment they're great. Yeah, exactly. Uh So,

1049
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:41.520
like Blocho will definitely be in my
top ten for sure, and I think

1050
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:45.439
it's going to do very well on
our list. But you know, like

1051
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:47.319
my number one out of all these
right now is Rebirth. I would not

1052
01:14:47.439 --> 01:14:50.439
be shocked if that is just my
game of the year when it's all said

1053
01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:56.079
and done. Yep, yeah,
yeah, I'm I'm in a tough spot

1054
01:14:56.159 --> 01:15:02.800
here because I absolutely adore inf Wealth. I'm liking Rebirth well enough. I

1055
01:15:02.920 --> 01:15:09.439
think I am kind of in between
TAM's feelings on the game and Mike's feelings

1056
01:15:09.479 --> 01:15:12.439
on the game so far. So
I guess that that's out to a nine.

1057
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:18.960
And then remembering my score of course
I remember every score micuh and then

1058
01:15:19.199 --> 01:15:24.359
Blotro just geez, it's a good
turn your brain off game that you still

1059
01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:31.680
have to think about. Uh.
I think that Blotro Rebirth will definitely be

1060
01:15:31.800 --> 01:15:35.000
on there, and then everything else
is has a chance of missing, even

1061
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:39.239
Prince of Persian like a Dragon Infinite
Wealth. Although I will be fighting for

1062
01:15:39.279 --> 01:15:42.840
both those games, Prince of Persia
is probably my number two right now.

1063
01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:46.000
I might be fighting for number one. I think a bunch of a chance.

1064
01:15:46.039 --> 01:15:49.279
It has the file things. I
love that our set is this high

1065
01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:54.520
here. I love that game when
we put when we post this to social

1066
01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:57.199
media, can we blur out everything
except for our set? I guess we

1067
01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:00.560
will. Should number this too so
people can number uh just for my O

1068
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:08.960
C D. Should add the subtitles
for our person. Yeah, oh boy,

1069
01:16:09.039 --> 01:16:12.279
all right, yeah, well done. Yeah that's the job boys.

1070
01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:15.560
Yeah, and thank you once again. Bailey Bailey named the game of the

1071
01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:19.319
year, got one and then just
pieced out. It was kind of a

1072
01:16:19.479 --> 01:16:27.239
baller out from moves. I'm intimidated. Yeah, Bailey Bailey had trained her

1073
01:16:27.399 --> 01:16:30.840
cats to right so she could do
the peace signs, the deuces, and

1074
01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:33.840
then it just turned off. Yeah, I understand why they got their own

1075
01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:39.319
day now. Those women. Yeah, finally we've learned the value of women.

1076
01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:42.960
It's been a powerful episode, everybody. We've learned a lot, We've

1077
01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:47.439
said a lot, and maybe we
shouldn't have learned or said anything the story

1078
01:16:47.479 --> 01:16:54.359
of gian Bomb. Maybe we shouldn't
have. Yet, like everything else,

1079
01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:59.920
we persisted. Jeff Grubb, thank
you, Mike Manaughty, thank you,

1080
01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:02.880

01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:09.760
