00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:30.640
Hey everybody, it's Tuesday, and
can you believe that August is almost over?

2
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.079
Because it is August twenty ninth,
twenty twenty three. Welcome to the

3
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:40.799
Giant Bomb Cast, powered by ncxt
I. I'm your host, Jan Michella

4
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:48.159
joining me co captain of the ship
Jeff Grubb two twos and pulling on the

5
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.119
ship horn. That's what you do
on this ship is pull the horn.

6
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.240
That's right, uh, frantically pulling
up the anchor. We have Mike Manatti.

7
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.240
Hey, how's it going. Yeah, we're going around the one.

8
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.920
You could even say, God,
here we go, day, let's do

9
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.359
it. And we decided to give
them. We decided to give them the

10
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:14.079
wheel of the boat dan Rykert Boats. It was like the big nautical wheel,

11
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:15.159
right, the big nautical wheel.
Yeah, yeah, like the wooden

12
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.560
spokes and stuff you can share.
That seems fun I would do. I

13
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:19.840
did that. I did that on
a boat and it was fun. I

14
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.400
feel like you can get a lot
of good spins in it before it actually

15
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.000
like does any damage. I think
when you do it for shoot, though,

16
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.439
it's very tiny little motions, like
when I did it on a boat

17
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.760
and Boston a couple of months ago. It's like you just do a little

18
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.040
bit of this and then the whole
bogus. It's not a lot of like

19
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.560
wouldn't matter there, right, You're
probably on a tinier boat. Yeah,

20
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:42.599
it was a tiny boat. Like
I would like to do like a full

21
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.040
on wheel of fortune or Price's right
wheel, you know, like that'd be

22
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.560
fun. But you can't do that
in a Bob Barker. We've we've lost

23
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.519
too many folks in like the last
couple couple of days here. Uh yeah,

24
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.879
the last week, Holy smokes,
here's a Google document for folks watching

25
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.920
live gentlemen, A lot of wrestling
happened. We were talking about this in

26
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.159
the pre show here, and we
were thinking about maybe perhaps getting together and

27
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.000
putting it together a power Bomb cast
to talk about all Out. But then

28
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.960
Dan, you enlighten me. There's
two more wrestling things happening this weekend.

29
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.879
Two pay per views, I'm sorry, one premium live event and one pay

30
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:28.400
per view. Yes, Payback is
Saturday. All Out is Sunday paybacks in

31
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.400
Pittsburgh. I think I could have
gone to that if it wasn't for you

32
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.599
know, the traveling Oh yeah,
how far is Pittsburgh from you closer?

33
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.280
Than Cleveland. Actually it's like fifteen
minutes. Oh wow, I have no

34
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.759
idea what geography is. The further
east I get from past Nevada, even

35
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.520
then Nevada, Like in my head, I feel like Reno and Las Vegas

36
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.599
are really close together, when that
is not the reality at all. Yeah.

37
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.360
I was just like Las Vegas just
like a half an hour from anywhere

38
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.039
in California, and that's just incorrect. Yeah, my cousin was telling I

39
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.159
mean, like, yeah, I
drove from La to La La to Las

40
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.280
Vegas and we're like, oh,
how was that six hours? Like,

41
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.680
no, it's two. And then
just threw throughout everything I do. I

42
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.919
don't know. And then I was
wondering why it took so long to get

43
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.479
from Los Angeles to San Diego when
we went for dream Hack, and it

44
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.439
was very confused that that was the
traffic jams situation, right, Yeah,

45
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.439
we got traffic jammed. Was that
traffic jams? That just normal California traffic?

46
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.319
That one was a little that was
a little bit worse than than normal.

47
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.240
So we had time for punch out. We did a punch out run

48
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.719
and then everyone st and looked when
they were looking in the car and that's

49
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.240
causing the traffic, I think,
right, yes, right, they were

50
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.919
too impressed with your skills exactly.
Yes, Oh my god, is that

51
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:45.400
is that grub that class Joe?
That's right, guys. See the new

52
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.840
Summoning Soult videos. He's got the
punch out world record. You know,

53
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.840
he does all those spear on videos. But like the new one is about

54
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.199
nigea guy in two and the guy
it's following his name, Jimmy Poopins.

55
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:02.120
Yes, I think it's like he
was that shoot name or gimmickname. That's

56
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.159
his birth name, Dan. Yeah, that's his Christian name. Yeah,

57
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:13.719
Jimmy Government yea absolutely. Boop Running
is great because of that. A lot

58
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.279
of the gaming scenes are great because
it's like I spent my entire life trying

59
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:25.879
to overcome Jimmy Poopins, and I
assume to write some assultants to do stuff.

60
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.680
Yeah. Uh, he's done some
older some newerish things. There's so

61
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:30.720
I forget if he did a win
Wake one. He does some of the

62
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.839
newer Mario karts, he does a
lot. He does too many Mario Karts.

63
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.959
I'm just gonna say it, actually
too much Mario Kart for my the

64
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.319
Mario Kart. How do you how
do you speed run Mario Kart? Oh

65
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.160
well, there's a lot of two
breaks where you kind of like, no,

66
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.240
it sliven that sometimes it is,
but like Mario Kart sixty four,

67
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.879
post can like accidentally like like break
the lines so you can do weird stuff

68
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.839
and go out of bounds and go
back to the finishing line and cross that.

69
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.959
Things like that. Cheating fantastic.
Yeah, sure. Do you think

70
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:09.759
it's too late to get like work
glass for the packs panel we've done?

71
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.639
I've I've bled from sugar glass before
John Drake hit me with the bottle ones

72
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.839
and I had a bloody head,
so still got to hit someone right with

73
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:25.079
that stuff. Yeah, we made
uh we were doing backyard movies when I

74
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.160
was like a young teenager. We
tried to make the work glass, but

75
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.879
we didn't really know what we were
doing, so we just melted a bunch

76
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.079
of pure sugar and didn't add any
water to it. So it was just

77
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.240
like this really thick, like uh, you know, gray brown stuff,

78
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.959
and we still tried to use it. It was and it didn't look like

79
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.079
glass at all, but we still
smashed our friend's head through it and very

80
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.920
badly. But he was game for
it. You can't do all that work

81
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.319
and not use it. I mean, right, exactly, that's a lot

82
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:57.079
of sugar, you know, yeah, exactly footage of you doing backyard wrestling

83
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.360
stuff. Mananni, No, No, we made a lot of backyard movies

84
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:05.000
that we're all pretty pretty dumb and
also made by thirteen year old So I'd

85
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.879
be terrified to show them to know, that's that's cinema, you know,

86
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.439
that's pure cinema. Yes, I've
got a few backyard wrestling videos. I

87
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.240
think I've tweeted eclipsed them in the
past. But I looked really cool and

88
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.079
impressive and all of them. Sure
I was a coward. I would have

89
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.439
been afraid of hurting myself. Back
Clark did some backyard wrestling. I would

90
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.800
really would really like to find some
videos of that. Backlark is so the

91
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.759
kid who got into wrestling for two
years in the late nineties when it was

92
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.839
popular, and then never thought of
again after that. Okay, is that

93
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.000
shirts when he's sixteen? Man,
we gotta show dib what a mini DV

94
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.800
tape or like what a VHS would
look like. It's like, did look

95
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.399
around your dad's stuff and then send
it to us? This. Yeah,

96
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.800
and this is your fault that we
have not brought Dib with into into the

97
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.920
fold, weaponized, demonized him against
Jib. I thought you bet to like

98
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.439
make content. I know that dad
is all about child labor, but that's

99
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.759
about to say I don't know.
Well, yeah, of course to make

100
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.560
content. Oh yes, they love
his father's brainwashed him against me. I

101
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.399
think it would be hard. I
would need it need to be a group

102
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.439
effort to turn him against his father. Okay, well you do it,

103
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.000
pile Gohan. I think initially was
scared and hated Piccolo. You could be

104
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:26.639
the Piccolo to Dib. You piccolo
energy. I can't think was afraid of

105
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.439
the monster maid who kidnapped him,
and then you know has has attempted murder

106
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.560
on his father multiple times. That
yeah, I mean just like real life,

107
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.839
life imitates art here on the Giant
bombast. Uh, you guys are

108
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.439
to talk about your caps? Okay, miscellaneous other things you want to talk

109
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.000
about before we get into it.
No, no, well you know it's

110
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.879
gonna be a big time pay per
view with payback. When the thing I've

111
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.000
seen to advertise the most is the
Grace and Waller effects segments starring Cody Rhodes.

112
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.120
That weird. That is just like
one of their little weird talk show

113
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.920
segments. Right, yeah, that's
when you can tell it, say,

114
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.399
like in between premium live events.
All right, we're setting up stuff for

115
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.120
the ones that matter. What is
on the card Other than that, I

116
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:15.120
think Ria versus Raquel. God,
I don't think Romans wrestling. Yeah,

117
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.199
that'll be fun. Yeah, yeah. I like what they've done with Knocker

118
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.480
Murra recently. Yes, okay,
very cool. Yeah, uh okay.

119
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.279
We got Ray versus Theory. Oh, Miss versus Late Night. That could

120
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.319
be fun. That's that's been fun. That's been a good feud. Uh.

121
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.279
And then we also Tris and Becky
in the cage. That should main

122
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.759
event. Oh that should main event. That should have been a Summer's Lam.

123
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.879
But you know, well yeah,
definitely. Yes, I guess we

124
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.879
should get together and talk about wrestling
maybe next week after all this stuff happens

125
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.639
and yeah, well you're back in
town. Let's do it. Yeah,

126
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.399
and then maybe we'll have updates on
what has happened with the Jack Perry see

127
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.720
Them Punk situation. Oh man,
I like that. We'll talk about it

128
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.919
later. We'll talk about later because
we get good talking about here. Okay,

129
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.559
with with hearing things about Punk saying
I hate this place and it's just

130
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.080
getting worse and worse and worse.
There, I'm going to predict now,

131
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.120
in less than three years, you
will see Punk in a debit ae Ring.

132
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.200
Yeah. Yes. As soon as
I saw that quote floating around the

133
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.440
dirt sheets, I was like,
he's going to go back to WWE,

134
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.600
and it's gonna but it will be
the COT but there's money. If there's

135
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.879
money, they will take them.
Yeah, it'll be the Cody Roads effect

136
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:35.000
where uh you know, Cody wasn't
necessarily working well in a w but as

137
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.960
soon as he jumps shipped back to
WWE Gangbusters, it's like put everything problems

138
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.000
the same problems as always would be
worse now apparently, but if there was

139
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.799
money in it, they would absolutely
take him back. Yep. They he

140
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.720
would like end Romans Streak. He
would end Roman end Gunther Streak. In

141
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.000
the same same night, he realized
in three years he'll be like almost fifty.

142
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.840
I guess these days it doesn't matter, does what is AJ styles like

143
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.960
forty six, forty seven? Oh
yeah, yeah, yeah, all the

144
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.279
old guys really showed up at all
in anyways, yeah, yeah, it

145
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.360
was. You know, I know, I kept keep saying we're going to

146
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.879
talk about wrestling next week instead,
But I hate yet again another great pay

147
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.000
per view, just kind of sullied
by see him punk. I think this

148
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.600
time it's I'm not letting that stuff
get to meat too much. I'm just

149
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.039
like, whatever sunk sunk. My
big takeaways that it was a it was

150
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.320
a really good pay per view for
the most I was just laughing. It's

151
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.240
it's not like when when the brawl
out happened. I thought that was sad.

152
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.840
Now I'm kind of amused. Ah. I just want to show my

153
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.919
appreciation to Juice Robinson. Oh my
god, Juice, what a fucking weirdo.

154
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.759
He found his thing, didn't he? That guy he's screaming about being

155
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.960
rock hard, just being way too
hyped up all the time. I was

156
00:10:52.000 --> 00:11:00.440
gonna be I think. Here he
is Wembley Stadium, possibly one of the

157
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.279
biggest wrestling crowds ever, and his
entrance is him barking on all fours like

158
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.240
a rabid dog. That's the energy
I want to approach everything with. So

159
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:18.279
let's talk about video games. Uh, Manadi, do you think you could

160
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.879
do it like a good like guns, water spit thing like water spit?

161
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.240
Do want to get some water?
Not? Right? Yes? Yes?

162
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.080
Yes? Do you think they mind
if we did that at packs? He's

163
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:35.240
going to ruin his own home.
If you're First Amendment you could You could

164
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.679
spit whatever you want on the stage
and they can't stop you. Figure,

165
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.799
is he going to do the triple
age water spit? Because if it's a

166
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.120
vertical one, I need the camera
angle to be up a little more.

167
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.399
I don't know, spit all over
his yellow label GameCube games. I don't

168
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.000
know if he's in a position to
like change his angle or whatever. He

169
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.399
may have to just back up a
bit. Okay, okay, Oh he's

170
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.080
getting what water spit? Are you
doing? Are you doing a triple age

171
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.799
or like a guns? You can
do on one? Okay here we okay,

172
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.720
alright, you want baby audio listeners. Michael Manati is now ingesting water.

173
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.360
Okay, he's he's gearing up.
Oh that was good, That was

174
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.600
real good. That was good.
Oh, little bro we kept a little

175
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.799
for the last one. Wow.
Okay, but he wasn't he was he

176
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.440
wetting there? This man is what
everywhere? Go? Figure? All right?

177
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.039
Well, uh, that reminds me
of the first game. We'll talk

178
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:37.200
about Curse Crackers, for whom the
Bell toils nothing but being so sweet.

179
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.000
I'm sorry, everyone's so impressed with
me. Thank you. Nothing but water

180
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.879
this game. Every time you see
Curse Crackers, like it's I get what

181
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.919
they're saying with it, like,
oh, you're cracking the curse, but

182
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.519
like I just keep thinking of like
cheese. It's like crackers, you know.

183
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.080
Uh yeah, I mean I honestly, I keep forgetting the name.

184
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.440
That's what happened to me the most, is like Curse Cookies is what keeps

185
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.279
coming to my brain. Do we
even I played that game for like three

186
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.279
or four hours now, I have
no idea what it's called that. You

187
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.159
know. What I don't either.
I was gonna say, is that little

188
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.120
ghost it's following er the Curse?
I don't know. He seems it reminds

189
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.840
me looking at it, the color
palette, in the size of the sprites

190
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.480
and everything. By the way,
this is on switch. I don't know

191
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.840
if it's done other stuff, but
it's very much like any ESS inspired platformer.

192
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:28.600
It reminds me the Green Master,
a little Nemo. Yeah yeah,

193
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.840
something about the look of it reminds
me of that. Yeah. Shan tas

194
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.039
what I'm getting recently when I was
since I've been playing it, yeah,

195
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.320
I could see that too. Yeah, but I love Little Emo. That

196
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.440
game is awesome. Yeah, but
the the locomotion in that game, the

197
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.360
move said namely that like sprint,
duck, long jump situations like yeah,

198
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.440
yeah, like when you jump off
an enemy's head, there is like just

199
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.159
a brief moment of where you can
kind of reordence yourself so you never feel

200
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.720
out of control. A lot of
like fast based twot platforms, you kind

201
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.000
of feel like you're all over the
place. This one, I feel like

202
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.960
it gives you just that like half
second to kind of orient yourself every time

203
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.279
you're bouncing off something in the feels
great. You can link at all these

204
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.840
all these motions together, so you're
doing the lung jump into a jump on

205
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.440
an enemy's head, and then you
can do a tall jump where like you

206
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.600
crouch and then jump up without pressing
left or right and you do a higher

207
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.519
jump. So it's like a lot
of In sixty Ma Mario sixty fourth,

208
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.360
Mooset is actually in this two D
platform It looks like a game Boy Color

209
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.000
game, but it's just it's super
fast and it's very easy to combo all

210
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.600
these things together. It's not like
there's a combo meter or something, but

211
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.799
it is like you are stringing them
together in such a way that you feel

212
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.600
like you could just shoot to the
end of the level super fast. And

213
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.399
I'm really, I really really dig
it. And the levels do get a

214
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.919
little bit more complicated as you get
in there, and yeah, that's kind

215
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.120
of my that's been my biggest issue. I've been enjoying the movement of law

216
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.759
and just kind of the feel of
the game. I think the level design

217
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.720
is a little it's just wrote.
It's it's pretty simple, and I'm not

218
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:50.720
a in general, I'm not a
giant fans. Sometimes of the two D

219
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.519
games, we're like, there's the
three things, So you've got to really

220
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.600
slow down now because you want to
get all these hidden things, especially in

221
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.919
a game where the movement feels so
I'd rather just be running through it,

222
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.840
and like, I know I could, but it really hurts my gamer brain

223
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.120
to like walk by the obvious store
with like the room with the thing that

224
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.279
I have to get, or not
not checked since I know some walls are

225
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.440
fake walls, or now I'm gonna
check all the walls and or at least

226
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.039
the ones that look suspicious that's gonna
slow me down. I did find like

227
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.919
a secret exit in world three.
I think that took me to a new

228
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.240
world that was much harder, and
that's actually been way more enjoyable because it's

229
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.919
like, Okay, now they're really
emping off the level design. It's a

230
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.600
little bit more challenging. That actually
kind of is making me use a lot

231
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.919
of this move set. Finally,
yeah, it's this game has been out

232
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.840
on Steam for a while, so
we're talking about now because it's just coming

233
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.840
out to Switch again. It's It's
Curse Crackers, for whom the Bell toils,

234
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.159
and that's b E l l E. That's the name of the main

235
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.200
character. And basically the setup is, uh, some which comes and steals

236
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.120
your boyfriend, so you gotta go
get them back. I hate it when

237
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.519
that happens. Uh huh. And
and then yeah, you play the game

238
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.399
and yeah, yeah, I think
if people like can get a glance at

239
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.720
even like a couple of seconds of
this game in action, they'll immediately get

240
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.879
why we're excited about it. But
my hearing that there are more difficult levels

241
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.399
is exactly what I needed. It's
uh. I think that I compared the

242
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.600
levels to like Tiny Tune Adventures,
and I still think that's pretty fair,

243
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.039
like kind of simplish levels with not
a lot going on, but they're still

244
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.879
fun somehow because you know, the
characters kind of moving a fun way.

245
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:32.000
This I think, But if it
also has more difficult stuff in there,

246
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.039
then I'm like, okay, that'll
keep me going. I'm about halfway through

247
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.000
the second world right now, I'm
playing this amongst five other things. I'm

248
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.639
gonna keep at it though, and
it's a really good switch game. Another

249
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.720
ideal. Sorry, no, I
was just gonna say I'm agreeing with greb

250
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.759
on like as far as the Switch
game, like picking up play a level

251
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:51.440
or two, it's ideal for that. Another indie game with a massive lord

252
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.519
dump in the beginning, and this
one especially, I'm like, why are

253
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.159
we what is all this? Like
lore? Oh it hasn't come up yet

254
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.399
for any reason. But I think
I think sometimes I think the indie developers

255
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.200
can't help themselves. Yeah, doing
their thing. Yeah, you know,

256
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.640
like they say like back in the
eighties or like the cheapest special effect is

257
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.240
nudity. I think for video game
developers, like the cheapest thing they can

258
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.359
add is story. Like, if
we're gonna ad story in characters, that's

259
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.880
gonna get us closer to people like
finding us memorable, and so they can't

260
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.079
help it. They should just also
add nudity. I was gonna say,

261
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.519
yeah, let's let's do this.
If you see my Steam account, you

262
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.400
know that they definitely do that.
Let's have new stories, you know,

263
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:37.839
uh, dude stories. You know
what? The most comprehensible lore I know

264
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.920
now is armored cores. Dad.
We're not getting there yet. I can't.

265
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:47.839
I've been thinking about a NonStop the
show, trying to do the transitions.

266
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.920
Dan shying to take your job,
Jan, there's a whole run of

267
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.920
show I cross out. I'm gonna
lay out all right where there's back in

268
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.640
the penalty box. That's the public
one I look up to on a show.

269
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.759
I had ad a game, Jan, I had add a game.

270
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:04.920
Don't forget it. It's in a
jam. Put it in crew text in

271
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.079
the channel above this, Dan,
okay, if you want to fight.

272
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.839
I was gonna ask a fun question
of how do you guys feel about these

273
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.440
two D platformers, like kind of
getting their shine back with like Pizza Tower

274
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:22.920
taking the Warrior Heat and now this. But fuck, it doesn't matter anymore.

275
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.319
Lay, I'm laying out. I'm
laying out, plowing up a document.

276
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.440
You guys got so upset that I
just want to I just want to

277
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.519
take the chainsaw and rev it up. He's gonna check you out backstage,

278
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:41.039
Dan, look out, chainsaw chains
Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The four of us

279
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.440
played that. Let the pro do
it. Yeah, okay, Hey,

280
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.480
that game was pretty okay. I
had fun playing with that with you guys.

281
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.799
I enjoy that. Played so much
more of this over the weekend.

282
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.839
Really, this is your gate.
Wait, aren't you supposed to be beating

283
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.640
I know, honey, you're not
beating that. I never jan I mean

284
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.319
this in the nicest way possible.
I love you, but I never believed

285
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.160
in you. That's everyone I've ever
loved has told me the same thing.

286
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.240
I'm sorry, it's not happening.
It's not happening. Hey, okay,

287
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.160
I got all the tears. I
got three temples done. I can't have

288
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.599
that much more or left? Right? Four temples? Oh man, No,

289
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.720
there's quite a bit jam. What
many hours do you take? You

290
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.960
have? All right? Hang on, I'm gonna make sure it's charge.

291
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.680
I'm gonna go charge up the clippers
on. How many hours do you think

292
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.599
you have? Jan I don't know, like eighty? Oh no, oh

293
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.880
no, I think I have like
eighty because oh left, I don't know.

294
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:48.720
Yeah, oh you're so done it's
over. I don't know. I

295
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.720
guess I have eighty left apparently,
I mean depends on how what you want

296
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:57.599
to do ten hours. See,
that's that's all. I'm not trying.

297
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.000
I'll go back and do all the
other stuff, right, I'm just trying

298
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.519
to get my way to the finish. Oh okay, here's here's the Tears

299
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.319
of the Kingdom update. And I
was talking about this with a grub yesterday.

300
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:15.400
Uh, would it be frowned upon
if I start to exploit the game,

301
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.200
Like if I suddenly am like,
all right, I'm just gonna need

302
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.640
hella shit. So I'm just gonna
duplicate everything dupe? No, he can't

303
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.440
dupe. Is there a glitch for
that? I thought they fixed the dupe

304
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.519
glitchen. There's always like a new
dupe. Uh, new dupe glitch that

305
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.880
I see popping up on my TikTok
feed. It sounds like they fixed it.

306
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.279
No, Okay, there's definitely an, there's tropic, there's always new

307
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.400
ones. Jan don't listen to these
schmucks. You could do whatever you need

308
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.240
to do to finish this game.
You could duplicate. You could you played

309
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:45.720
what how many hours? I had
my headphones off? How long can you

310
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.359
play? Eight? You could did
eight? But Mike, we did at

311
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.480
seventy, right, like yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, go duplicate.

312
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:57.240
Do what you gotta do, you
know appropriate. Yeah, that's why

313
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.920
I'm trying to that thought. What
I was trying to say, Yes,

314
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.279
I'm Pickman four and ten hours less
than a Dan. Yeah, yeah,

315
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.839
you had more Pickman die well because
I am a cold hearted general. I

316
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:18.920
love saults. I love the Pickman. Noah, they're they're your soul.

317
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.160
I might need a chainsaw to cut
my hair because I spent way too much

318
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.279
time playing Texas Chainsaw Massacre after we
played it on UPF Were you playing with

319
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.680
the homes or what? You just
go match making online? I was just

320
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.599
being a freak and playing by myself. That okay, right, no idea?

321
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.640
Right, do you get to choose
if you want to be victim?

322
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:41.279
Or you can choose? Yeah,
you can choose whether or not you want

323
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.079
to be the family or the victims. I forget what they're actually called victims.

324
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.559
Were you like boys chatting with randoms? No, I turn that off.

325
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.519
I made sure to turn all that
off and everything because my social anxiety

326
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:59.240
would start to kick in. But
during UPF last week, when we're playing

327
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.559
through Tech has Chainsaw Massacre for folks
unaware, it is very very similar,

328
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.039
if not the same type of game
as Dead by Daylight. So one of

329
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:12.160
those where there's like monster characters and
then the civilian characters kind of got to

330
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:18.480
roam around and go do stuff.
Someone said this last week and that basically

331
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.240
you were just this is the escape
part of a hit Man level, right,

332
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.400
Yeah, I said that. You
said that, Okay, Mike,

333
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:30.880
Yeah, as soon as you said
that, the best thoughts, incredible thoughts,

334
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:37.400
that's right, pro water spitterer.
Uh. But as soon as you

335
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.240
said that, Mike, it kind
of got the gears ticking in my head

336
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.200
of like, this is just like
the escape part of hit Man. And

337
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.200
then like I think I started enjoying
it too much and using thinking of it

338
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.960
like that. And then you know
how all of the four of us when

339
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.000
we were playing as the victims,
we were a little bit too scared about

340
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.680
making noise, right, yeah,
I now purpose make too much noise to

341
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.519
fuck up everything, like uh,
And and when you're going for a lock

342
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.720
pick, I I think all of
us were just kind of getting the one

343
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:11.880
and finishing up, right, we'd
get the one and then run away.

344
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.799
Turns out you can just keep getting
lock picks as you need from the same

345
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.680
like little same place. Yeah,
from the same place. Okay, that's

346
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:25.160
good to know. And then it
is very very important to level up your

347
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.519
different uh survivor Grandpa your grandpa,
Yes, your grandpa, but you can

348
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:37.119
also kill grandpa or and hurt the
family as the victims. And we can

349
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.480
kill him in the chair. Can
you just go up and like kick him

350
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.079
in the nuts? You can incapacitate
him. Okay, so we should be

351
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.559
able to kill him. He seems
very vulnerable. Yeah, he's you know,

352
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.039
he's been through some stuff. You
know, he's served his time.

353
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.319
He's he's he's reformed, right yeah. Uh. But like with the bone

354
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:03.079
fragments that you could use to off
like the door hanging sound sound jazz,

355
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:08.759
you can use that to hide and
slightly incapacitate. One of the family members

356
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:12.920
thought that that made sense, but
I'd never that it never popped up when

357
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.000
they walked by me, right,
I think you have to be behind them

358
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.400
and like they have to be like
in the middle of an action. But

359
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:25.799
you can also take those fragments and
incapacity Grandpa so he can't wake up and

360
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:32.000
show the family your location. It
is very ad incapacitate Grandpa real quick,

361
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.880
just give me a second. I've
leveled up my Connie to a point where

362
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.079
i can open up a door uh
from like the lock Picking mini game in

363
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.880
like two seconds, and it's great. I'm so quiet. But the thing

364
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:51.599
is, I will purposely, uh
go to a toolbox and just like jam

365
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.680
on it, so I lure the
family down to where I'm at and then

366
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.160
I've I hate that I've learned these
maps. Now yeah, I'm like,

367
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.440
okay, right, cool, I'm
gonna lure the family down here, and

368
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.200
then I'm gonna run up to the
house and then I'm gonna get the fuse

369
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:10.400
box from Grandpa and I'm gonna turn
off all these lights and just hide in

370
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.720
plain sight. It's great. This
this game is fantastic. The idea of

371
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.880
like leveling up your Connie because it's
like she's just like a lady it's not

372
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:25.759
like like it's not MegaMan. You
know her master's degree. Yeah, yeah,

373
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.359
exactly. She's got her ge.
She's getting it back together, guys,

374
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:33.160
She's gonna get the kid back.
She's kind of worried. So,

375
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.480
Like I liked when we were playing
in and we were all kind of just

376
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.799
scrubs, didn't really know what was
going on. I worry what the game

377
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.480
is like when everybody knows level,
everybody's like leveled up, and you are

378
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.640
doing things like unlocking doors in two
seconds, it kind of becomes a whole

379
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.720
completely different thing. I mean,
Dead by Daylight is so popular, and

380
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.559
I think so many those people like
know that game backward and forward. They

381
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.640
must have it figured out, so
it's still fun at that point, I'm

382
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.319
assuming. I'm just it's like even
Counterstrike, right, like I remember start

383
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.200
encounters like no one what they're doing. Then at the end, like you

384
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.200
played Dust and everybody just goes to
that one time, one just starts chucking

385
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.440
grenade like everyone just knows, well
that's what you do first. Things like

386
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.480
that, but still funs. We
played Dead by Daylight on this website.

387
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:18.119
I probably should, ye should,
right, That's that by curious thing where

388
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:19.160
it's like all these games, they're
so big that we want to like check

389
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.640
in on see if we want to
give him a chance. I think we

390
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.119
should maybe start up that feature with
games like Dead by Daylight. I think

391
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.680
that because I mean, yeah,
I if we enjoyed Texas Chainsaw as much

392
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:30.799
as we did, and that's just
kind of like, oh, it's like

393
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.119
this other thing that might be better
and bigger, Like maybe we try that

394
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.599
one and do these silly Nicolas cage
stuff and all that. It sounds fun.

395
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.759
Yeah, I mean they've they've released
a lot of skins and Dead by

396
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:42.160
Daylight, right, like Alien is
coming out, Ripley is going to come

397
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:48.799
out? Yep? Yeah, which
is age? Yeah? Yeah? Oops,

398
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:55.480
all cages, Oops, all cages? Okay, Yeah, but Texas

399
00:26:55.559 --> 00:27:00.400
Chainsaw Maskery I think it is.
It may get close to my top ten

400
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.119
lists, maybe the back part of
it, because I've been enjoying just like

401
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.039
the stealth component of it. Let's
let's try some of these other ones,

402
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.440
because yeah, there is the Evil
Dead one that I was always curious,

403
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.839
Killer Clowns from Outer Spaces one,
basic Ghostbusters one. Yeah, is it

404
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:17.680
one of those asymmetrical like multiplayer,
Yeah, all of the ones we just

405
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.920
mentioned are the same exact thing.
There's a symmetrical Ghostbusters one. Yeah,

406
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:26.720
oh okay, yeah, bring back
Evolved, please Evolved can finally live in

407
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.920
this world? Can we? I
wonder if the devs of Evolved are pissed

408
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.400
off because it's like they were the
first kind of big game to do this

409
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:38.279
thing and it did not work for
the license. Yeah it helps. I

410
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.599
mean they did that Predator game too. There was a Predator one with the

411
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.119
license that was similar and that didn't
do well, did it. Yeah,

412
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.599
it has its fans. All these
things have their fans, but I don't

413
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.480
know. Yeah, well it was
the Prider one. Actually these because this

414
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:53.960
is the Texas change of Masacre is
the thirteenth people, and they do Predator

415
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.839
in between these or my game that
mixed. That sounds right. Yeah,

416
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.160
I don't know for sure, but
that's sounds right. And I had some

417
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:07.480
people really I knew that really liked
that Friday thirteenth one, and you know

418
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.279
for playing Texas Chainsaw grub go aheads. Sorry, No, it was ilphonic.

419
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.519
Yes, that ilphonic. This is
ilphonic, right, So they did

420
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.599
Frighted the thirteenth, They did Predator
Hunting ground. Yeah, that's right,

421
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:23.480
Okay, smart again. Batting average
is wild today, Mike. Great job,

422
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:30.200
good job. You're welcome. For
folks that are like mildly hesitant to

423
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.839
jump into Texas Chainsaw Massacre because they
may not have a group of friends to

424
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:38.400
party up with, the matchmaking experience
wasn't super bad as long as you just

425
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:45.079
mute the mics and everything like that. It does get really sweaty in terms

426
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.839
of like people insisting that people play
their roles or play their classes the further

427
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.799
you get in and just depending on
who you're playing with. Actually had a

428
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.279
lot of fun just playing as the
victims. I barely played as the family

429
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:02.359
just because I liked the running around
stealth opponent. I've figured out the well

430
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:07.000
loop as well. Oh really,
God, the stupid pressure valve that we

431
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.200
were struggling with, I know what
I do now. I just it's it's

432
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.480
great. It's great. Just had
to grab a physical valve and bring it

433
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.839
there. You have to grab a
physical valve and then bring it to a

434
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:22.000
different like pressure tank thing, kay, and then that would cause a chain

435
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.759
reaction. There's a lot of stuff
that this game just doesn't explain to you

436
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.000
as well, right, I mean, I think games like this are meant

437
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.720
to be like, hey, someone
figures out and then they tell their friends

438
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.359
and that's part of the fun,
right, And I mean I think it's

439
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:38.119
very it's fair someone what's called that, Well, that's not fair game designer,

440
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.240
right, I don't think that's very
good. But I think that's actually

441
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.680
a pretty good way to do these
kinds of games. I think the trouble

442
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:47.759
I run into though, is that
I can quickly fall into the same routines

443
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:55.839
doing uh, the routines I fall
into similar to like Hitman with because the

444
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:00.880
multiplayer component makes me feel less inclined
to spearmint from run to run. Sure,

445
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:03.480
but I guess with the voice chat
turned off, I don't really think

446
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.480
about my other survivors as much.
We had. We had like a couple

447
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.559
of randoms with us a couple of
times, and they were just doing their

448
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.160
own thing and it didn't ruin our
experience. Really. We were all having

449
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.640
we were doing our own thing,
and we were fine people. From the

450
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:17.880
chat though, so it might have
been like, you know, kind of

451
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:19.960
a I think that the collection of
people playing right at the point it was.

452
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:22.720
But I think in like the early
games, we were doing it was

453
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.119
just randoms and it was fine.
Yeah. I would enjoy playing this game

454
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.440
more with y'all and then, uh, you know, or team teaming up

455
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.640
and maybe trying Dead by Daylight.
Yeah, I would love it. Yeah.

456
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:41.480
So speaking about dead things, goddamn
real quick, got coach of that

457
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.079
Ghostbusters game just sitting my email.
Stuff. We wanted to do that one

458
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.640
too. We could do that,
Okay, speaking about dead things, Mike

459
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.880
Manotti, I'm gonna assume you put
this on the list dead or Alive.

460
00:30:52.000 --> 00:31:00.440
Extreme Beach Volleyball, oh where I
was desperate for summer vibes. I did

461
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:07.640
Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball stream. Uh
and I have you actually had a pretty

462
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:10.559
good time. I never really played
it but back in the day. But

463
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:14.359
you know, it's real chill.
You just kind of go to the beach,

464
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.319
played the game. I just watched
the opening cinematic repeated. Yeah,

465
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.319
that got a bit more risque than
I was expecting. Uh yeah, you

466
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.160
know you uh you go to a
beach, Dennis Rodman's there, and then

467
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.640
you uh well, I chose to
play as like an assassin. I forgot.

468
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.799
I just picked her for other reasons. Uh and and nobody wanted to

469
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.000
be my partner for a while because
you know, I killed a lot of

470
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.960
their mothers. But eventually I bought
them enough presies that I got up just

471
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.759
like real life. Yeah right.
The volleyball is actually pretty fun still.

472
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.920
It's really simple. It's basically two
buttons. Uh, you have like the

473
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.920
kind of like shoots to their side
or the shoot to your friend thing to

474
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.880
set them up for you know,
spikes and stuff worked really well. Go

475
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:06.200
ahead, Jeff, like quench your
thirst for summer for summer, summer for

476
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:08.680
a summer. Yeah, it really
did. Actually it did kind of like

477
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.880
make things feel a bit more summary. It's been a lot of gloomy,

478
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.319
rainy days in Ohio for what feels
like weeks now, and it rules.

479
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.279
Yeah. I remember the game and
former double cover with sex lies and video

480
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:27.839
games with BMX, Triple X and
Debt or a live beach volleyball back when

481
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:32.160
sex was cool. Yeah, you
know what, I respect this brand more

482
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:37.599
than like Quiet and Metal your solid
five, you know, right, because

483
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.160
it leans into it so hard and
doesn't try about it like we were,

484
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.440
you know, justin playing Mortal Kombat
nine and watching that and like okay,

485
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.880
yes, yeah, but you know, like if you're gonna be a you

486
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.160
know, a TNA game, and
that's just you know, you're a loud

487
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:57.960
and proud about Sorry, it's Impact
Wrestling Now made a video game. There's

488
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.720
a TNA chant at at all in
it was fun, uh, I don't

489
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.400
know, I don't. I had
a surprising good amount of time with it.

490
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:07.400
Also, it has an in game
casino and I'm just an absolute sucker

491
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.200
for those, So yeah, Jan, yeah, you go. You can

492
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:14.960
play it on Black and Andreas.
Did you do the casino stuff there a

493
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.960
lot. I never played a ton
of San andreasby I'm not a giant grand

494
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.640
theft thought o guy. Oh yeah, okay, but any usually any game

495
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.400
that has one of these, Like
I played a lot of Texas hold On

496
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:28.200
or whatever it was in Red Dead
Redemption. Actually yeah, I played a

497
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:30.680
lot of Vegas Dream for my MS. It's probably why I still like the

498
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:36.519
casino aesthetic now, because I associate
it with that. I don't know.

499
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.519
I had a surprisingly fun time with
it. I mean, you know,

500
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:42.720
I basically played through a whole vacation. The whole thing is that you spend

501
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:45.559
fourteen days on the island and then
the game is done and basically all you

502
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.559
get to keep are the bathing suits
that you're able to buy with your volleyball

503
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:52.240
winnings as you're doing it. That's
the loop. You make money so you

504
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.920
can buy bathing suits. So a
rumble Roses guy, I was not a

505
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.119
rumble Roses hold up, I don't. I don't think they held up.

506
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:06.880
Then, well, there's second I
know there's a newer that are alive,

507
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.440
Like they made Extreme two for three
sixty, and there's like a newer one

508
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:14.320
that you could still get for places
and four and switch even there was one,

509
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:17.360
right, yeah, I believe.
Oh, I think Paradise took the

510
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:23.360
volleyball out and it was just the
like lotion stuff, the stuff like moisture,

511
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:29.039
moisturizer, games, Mike, whatever
it is, whatever got me got

512
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:31.039
me. I think I think the
newer one doesn't have Christy though, So

513
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:36.079
I'm not interesting boom so I was. I was a wee lad when this

514
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:39.000
game came out. What was what
was like the heat on the street was

515
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:44.760
this like, oh, they're gonna
make a scannily clad video games front of

516
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.840
it back then even yeah, you
know, it was just like kind of

517
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.400
lame and just kind of like I
don't know that was like you know,

518
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:52.400
the late nineties early two thousands,
like you know, think about like wrestling

519
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.639
and the way, like you know, the TNA stuff there. It was

520
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:58.719
very much that vibe. And I
think even like as a teenager, I

521
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.639
remember thinking like this is kind of
lame, like the Dead or live commercials.

522
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.400
She kicks high was the big thing. It's like, all right,

523
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:07.480
look, I'm a horny teenager like
everyone, but like I don't need everything

524
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:13.800
to be like this. I'm a
red blooded American. Yeah. It was

525
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:19.599
always like there would be swimsuit issues
of video game magazines occasionally. Then yes,

526
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:24.159
there would be like an eight page
feature on like you know, during

527
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:28.280
tumb Raider being the big thing,
like here's a cost player that kind of

528
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.280
looks like Lara Croft. Here's eight
pages of photos of her in like the

529
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:35.840
middle of e GM. Yes,
yeah, man, lad mags. Yeah,

530
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.480
it was was. This was definitely
that time. But even then,

531
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:42.280
yes, it was. There were
people who definitely were who showed up for

532
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:43.639
it, and there's a lot of
people who are like, oh no,

533
00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:46.079
I'm like like I like this.
This is like a fun, chill vibe

534
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:51.000
even back then, but most of
the critical response was this is absurd.

535
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:55.639
I feel like I'd be interested for
this game to come out now and just

536
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.719
see how it is, like kind
of if if it they try to adapt

537
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:04.559
it at all or just just like
lean back in Switch. There's one on

538
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:08.840
Switch Switch. There's like sixteen thousand
games on Switch, so it's impossible to

539
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:12.639
know for sure. But yeah,
I think Mike's right, But I think

540
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.760
the series has gotten you know,
there's something pure about this one. It's

541
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.320
basically just the volleyball and some side
activities. I think there's a lot of

542
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:28.519
shenanigans and weirdness you get into Debt
or Alive Extreme three scarlet on Switch and

543
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:35.840
twenty nine dollars. Yeah, because
the physical version, I think is only

544
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.599
in Japan. So if you it's
rare, it's rare, okay, all

545
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:44.400
right, Uh, fun fact.
I had not fun fact fun observation.

546
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:50.440
I had no idea how seriously people
took volleyball like it is. It is

547
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:54.320
like a cutthroat sport, if not
similar to tennis. Oh yeah, it's

548
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:58.159
huge. It's one of the bigger
summer Olympic sports. Absolutely. Yeah.

549
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:02.159
Well, going from the ocean to
the sea, Mike Manatti, you and

550
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:05.440
I sorry, sorry, Dan,
We're almost there. We're almost there.

551
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:10.639
I've been playing Sea of Stars.
Yeah, it's been. Uh. It's

552
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:15.039
interesting because I was looking forward to
this game a lot because I like the

553
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.599
studio's last game, The Messenger a
good bit, which was very different game

554
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.039
from this. Very It's a game
that starts out as a Ninja guidance,

555
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:25.800
like with this eight bit aesthetic,
and then you think you beat the game,

556
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.280
and then it evolves into a sixteen
bit aesthetic. It becomes a Metroid

557
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.320
Vanya. It's really cool. But
this is yeah, this is them making

558
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:39.440
Mario a Mario RPG, and that
stuff all works. The combat and the

559
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:43.159
graphics, like the pixelart is just
gorgeous. But you know, I was

560
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.440
looking forward to this and then you
know, this year happened. I was

561
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:47.639
like, okay, maybe this is
when I'm gonna get you later. And

562
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:52.480
then the reviews came out and they
were pretty good. It was still low

563
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.000
nineties, right, yeah, It's
like it's hovering right around ninety or something

564
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:58.159
like that. So at first,
for a little bit, it was like

565
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:00.559
ninety six and it came down to
earth a bit. But I was like,

566
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:02.440
okay, I'm gonna have to jump
on this, right, it's a

567
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:07.400
night on open critic it's a night
oh dang, okay, Yeah, but

568
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:09.719
uh, you know, I got
to play like an hour last night.

569
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:14.360
It's sometimes that's like not much to
do anything a game like this, but

570
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:17.280
I still was having a really good
time. Yeah, I probably the first

571
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.559
hour as well. On the on
the Roger ally a couple of weeks ago

572
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:23.599
when we first got these codes and
I was like, this is enjoyable.

573
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:28.719
This is just immediately pretty enjoyable.
So I get that. I just people

574
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:32.920
talk about the combat, uh kind
of not evolving throughout the game, and

575
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:35.519
I'm like, I don't know,
as long as it kind of has that

576
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:37.079
active of like in the middle of
the combat, I can press the button

577
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.400
to do more damage, which is
my understanding is it does. I think

578
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:45.039
I'll probably be fine for however long
this game is. Yeah, it's straight

579
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.280
up Mario RPG with the timing,
the buttons, turning the blocks, and

580
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:52.920
each special like ability kind of having
it's its own little rules and things you

581
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.039
have to do, like a boomerang
he kind of to bounce back at folks.

582
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:59.440
We would just like some of the
other intricacies, like the way MP

583
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.760
works where you generate MP by doing
basic attacks and the game just strip tells

584
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:06.960
you use your skills, like,
don't just save them for poss battles because

585
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.079
you have max MP, you're not
using a skill. Well, then you're

586
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:15.039
not regenerating MP, so you're not
being optimal because you're also system Yeah,

587
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.840
you're also building up a combo meter. And then it stresses to you very

588
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:21.760
early in the game of like,
just use your combos because these don't carry

589
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:27.400
over. Just just don't. I
don't be shy. Also, the timing

590
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.320
attacks well, because it's like I
love the idea of Paper Mario so like,

591
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.400
but like I look at Wrestle Quest
and it's some people describe it's like,

592
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:36.440
oh, it's like Paper Mario combats. Like, no, it's just

593
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.079
kind of a q TE popping.
I'm like Paper Mario had like clever implementations

594
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:44.679
of you know, the button presses. It's okay. I feel like it's

595
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:50.760
easier to kind of kind of try
and project for the blocks than it is

596
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:52.960
for the hits. But maybe because
I'm not a pro gamer. No,

597
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:55.480
I think I think it's a common
complaint I've heard as well, and I'm

598
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.000
sorry. I had to get more
time to play with this game to have

599
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:00.199
an opinion on my own here,
But what I've heard is that, uh,

600
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.159
the it's hard to figure out when
the timing is correct on attacks,

601
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.079
which, to be fair, I
guess is true in Super Mario RPG on

602
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.239
Supernintendo. It was like you were
guessing a lot of the time with those

603
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:15.199
attacks. But you know, at
on one point they gave me these kind

604
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.519
of badges that are basically like,
turn these on. It will make some

605
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.920
games, it'll big things easier,
And one of them is it makes a

606
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.679
star up here. A few time
things correctly makes it more clear. I

607
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:29.519
haven't been having too much trouble with
the timings myself. Yeah, but I'm

608
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:37.599
pretty early on that could change drastically
id and maybe three ish hours in you're

609
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:43.800
the furthest And I don't think I've
been enjoying my time as much as everyone

610
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.519
else has. Most you know,
there's been a lot of like high scores,

611
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:49.639
but there's still like a lot of
like eights out of tens. Like

612
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.519
we're like, yeah, you know, three hours, it's not enough time,

613
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:54.159
But like, were you like leaning
on like a score. I think

614
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:59.840
the hardest thing with me with like
an RPG lately is just it getting it

615
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:05.039
hooks into me as soon as possible, and I think the first hour of

616
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:07.880
this game, Mike, you're alluding
to this earlier, but it's very story

617
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:12.760
and lowre heavy. There's there's a
good amount of lore for sure, like

618
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.880
it's a giant lore dump at the
top right, and you kind of you

619
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:20.719
do it to expect it a bit
for these uh you know, I think

620
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:23.000
there it starts out so fast and
it seems like it's just going to go

621
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.239
immediately, and then there's very quickly
a flashback that's more like, okay,

622
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.320
now we're going to do the Lord
dump. For some reason, it was

623
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:31.599
working with me fine. I think
part of it two is I was trying

624
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:35.920
to play Octopath Traveler too, that
they're being guilted into that. And I

625
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.639
still have the big problem with that
game that I had with the first one,

626
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:42.960
where like you're saying, the hardest
part of a Jerebog is that beginning,

627
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.960
because it's always still more dump and
Octopath's whole structure is here's eight of

628
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:55.159
those in a row, and it's
just so hard because game I fell on

629
00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:59.400
the other side of that this time, where like with Octopath, I was

630
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:04.000
like, it's gonna like I don't
have time to devote to get to know

631
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:08.159
eight people. I barely know my
own friends these days. Uh, but

632
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:12.400
for some reason I was able to
do it. Versus Sea of Stars.

633
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.000
I mean, the combat is fine, and it's it's been holding my attention.

634
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:19.440
I just think I'm not as interested
in the story as I'd like to

635
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:23.920
be. Don't you hate pixels though, Jan, not pixels of this variety

636
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.639
like the two and a half D, but Octopath. It's just so pretty

637
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:30.880
that it's like, Okay, this
studio does the two and a half D

638
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:36.559
really? Well? What is the
one of the JRPGs is getting remade?

639
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.400
Star Ocean That looks gorgeous? Second
Story, Yeah, story, cannot wait

640
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:44.719
for that to come out. Dragon
Quest three fucking looks amazing. Yeah,

641
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:46.400
we haven't heard anything about that in
a while, though probably next year.

642
00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:51.599
I'm being hopeful, but its yeah, I yeah, I'm curious to play

643
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:53.920
a lot more right now. Like
the first impression to me, could not

644
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:58.519
be stronger. This really seems up
my alley, like I pretty much have

645
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:00.280
Like you know, I don't want
to play with you anymore. To Otopa

646
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:05.920
Traveler too like toy story to me
at the moment, I am this is

647
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:08.039
my game on switch right now.
See Stars. I definitely want to dive

648
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:12.559
in Deep. That's a fun I
didn't even realize it because it's a sea.

649
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:20.960
Yeah, okay, alright, Batting
Brand Slam Marooney. There was another

650
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:24.039
indie RPG that came out either earlier
this year that I can't, for the

651
00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:30.079
life of me figure out what everyone
told me I was supposed to. Thanks,

652
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:39.360
thanks, but that I feel I
feel terrible. Chain Chain that Coos

653
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:44.320
had a very very strong start that
I wish I spent more time with it

654
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.440
and actually finished it. God,
a lot of good RPGs. Stop stop

655
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:52.239
making games. Everyone, just I
feel like for a long time we had

656
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:57.320
a lot of these like indie studios
trying to make their own like Chrono Trigger

657
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:01.360
or SNS style RPGA always like got
some things right and then it just never

658
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:05.679
really quite works. And they really
seem to be actually figuring that out.

659
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.719
And now we're getting some really strong
ones here, like with Change that Goes

660
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:12.960
Supposedly I didn't get to play it, but this definitely feels like it's going

661
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:16.320
to stand up and I think it's
I think it's going to be a surprise

662
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:20.119
hit of the year. I think
coming out later is gonna help it.

663
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:22.079
I think it's gonna show up pretty
well at some end of the year.

664
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:25.320
Stuff. What's the one that came
out like in the last two years.

665
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.679
It was huge and in development forever. It's kind of like linked to the

666
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:35.079
past style kind of top down,
not nic symmetric. You know what's that

667
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.480
gub Tunic? Are you talking about
Tunic? No? No, no,

668
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:39.880
no no, It was indie.
It was like kind of anime style art

669
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:47.360
style with the gun kind of thing. Talk about the one yes Cross Cross

670
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:55.360
cross Code that I played. I
played thirty hours a Cross Code and then

671
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:59.119
was kind of done with it.
It was, it was fun, it

672
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:01.760
is, it persists. It is. It is not linked to the past,

673
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:06.360
though it's not trying to what it
was. I was playing like ten

674
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.960
hours of it and being like,
Okay, this seems really like cross code.

675
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.199
It's good. It's good, it's
very ambitious. I liked it.

676
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:15.960
I did just kind of you know, like the dungeons were actually, excuse

677
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:20.159
me, they're really well made.
They were pretty intense, and I was

678
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.760
actually getting mentally fatigued with them,
and at one point I think I had

679
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.440
to do two in a row.
And they're like real puzzles, Like it

680
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:29.800
wasn't It was like, yeah,
it was a puzzle design, but also

681
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.599
my brain was tired. It was
no joke. I couldn't do is Eastward

682
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:37.079
you talk about like the JRPT thing. I love the look, I loved

683
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:40.440
everything about like the aesthetic of the
Eastward, But holy shit, let's get

684
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:45.280
moving with this game. Yeah,
it's it's like a pacing thing that I

685
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:51.360
feel like, I uh, Indie
studios may not have like the means and

686
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.599
resources too when it comes to like
cutting stuff like that or just like tightening

687
00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:58.679
it up just because like you know, you're so in the thick of it

688
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:00.480
for so long. Yeah, Like
you work so hard on all this stuff,

689
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:04.360
how do you begin to edit?
Yeah, like why don't? Yeah,

690
00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:07.480
in your head it's like why even
edit? Like this is my work,

691
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:09.800
And I think when you're pitching it
to people who might spend thirty dollars

692
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:13.280
on it, it's like, look
how long it is, it's gonna be

693
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:16.920
worth your time and money. So
it's hard that it's a tough battle that

694
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:20.320
those developers are in a lot of
times. I think, God, there

695
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:24.000
was another isometric RPG that I think
they came out last year that I really

696
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:27.599
enjoyed, but I don't remember it
for the life of me. God,

697
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.880
I don't remember ship these days.
But speaking about RPGs, Grub, you've

698
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:36.920
been playing perhaps one of the biggest, most hyped up RPGs. Well,

699
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:43.320
I want to talk about that.
Guys. Come on Madden NFL John Madden,

700
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:47.440
the original role Play. Yeah,
I've played a couple of matches of

701
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:52.599
this. It's still that game.
They're big change this year is this like

702
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.719
meter that shows up when you're passing, and it's been you know, they

703
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:58.280
always have it, like to paint
on how you press the pass button for

704
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:02.039
the for whicheveror receiver you know,
guys run along the sideline and he's b

705
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.360
on them. There there be to
throw to him, and if you were

706
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:07.119
to hold be it would be like, oh, it's a bullet pass and

707
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:09.119
if you're tappy, it's gonna lab
And they still have that, but now

708
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.400
there's also a meter that pops up
and it's like an accuracy meter. And

709
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:15.599
this is a when you start the
game. It's like they always do this,

710
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:16.159
like with their big new feature.
It's like, do you want to

711
00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:19.360
use it this year or you're kind
of want to just do what we did

712
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.239
last year and kind of be stupid. It's like always that, yeah,

713
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.480
they always it's like, all right, I guess I'll use your new thing

714
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:28.920
you worked hard on. You're already
guilt tripping me about it, and I

715
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.880
use it. It's like it's like
everything that they've added pretty much since Hit

716
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:36.159
Stick, where it's just like this
is it doesn't change that much. It's

717
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.760
not that fun. It's like it
is a redux of QB vision. Those

718
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:45.400
vision cones they did that one years
still around, right, I don't yeah,

719
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:46.199
I don't think. I don't see
it in the game. And it's

720
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:51.000
like that's the kind of stuff that
they always do though, because hit Stick

721
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:53.519
and truck Stick and all that stuff, we're like actually really popular and they

722
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:58.440
still do have that in the game, but everything else since then has just

723
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:01.039
kind of been like this is not
a good enough replacement, it's not a

724
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:06.519
good enough reason to upgrade, and
then everything else sort of just feels forgotten

725
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:09.920
about and just slightly touched up for
the next year. Uh. That said,

726
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:13.360
the lines are gonna be good.
Some haven't phone playing as my present

727
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:15.280
I haven't played a man so long. What's the presentation like these days?

728
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:20.159
Pretty good, really exciting, really
fun, very TV like or it's the

729
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:22.480
commentary is better than I ever remember
it being. It was actually surprising the

730
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:27.559
good. Yeah, what do they
do the super like depth of field camera

731
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:31.920
with in Madden now that they do
in NFL games? They actually I didn't

732
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:35.400
see a ton of that, like
the like in terms of like what the

733
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.719
visuals look like. They I like
the sports games when they go very much

734
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:43.199
like, hey, there is like
a certain like ESPN does NHL games,

735
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:46.440
and we're gonna make this NHL game
look exactly like an NHL game on ESPN,

736
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:50.199
And I like that. Here they're
not trying to like look like Fox

737
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.920
Sports or anything like that. It's
just Madden's its own thing. So there's

738
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:58.800
not a lot of mimicking camera movements
that you see in real live action football

739
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:00.559
games, which I would really alike. I would have welcomed that stuff,

740
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:04.920
and maybe there's options for that.
But in terms of like the vanilla experience,

741
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:06.840
it's like, no, this is
gonna We're gonna be mad and we're

742
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:08.320
gonna behind the thing. You're just
we're just gonna give you all the information

743
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:13.079
and then all of this the special
stuff will come from the commentary and the

744
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:15.920
commentary was like very natural, which
I was kind of surprised. I bet

745
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:17.079
it's been like that for the past
couple of years and I just haven't checked

746
00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:21.480
in on it though. Quick question
if any of you gentlemen know what is

747
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:25.440
what do these studios look like?
Do they tend to retain the same yeah,

748
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:30.239
folks, or like Tiberon, Yeah, Tibron's been like you know,

749
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.920
Tibron's in Orlando, Florida. Not
a lot of other studios to go work

750
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:38.239
there, and they kind of just
have these teams that rotate around this and

751
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:43.400
now they're doing nca Double A college
football and they do golf and then I

752
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:45.400
think they might have one other project
that is slipping my mind, but they

753
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:51.119
work on all those things now and
it's yeah that that that team is pretty

754
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:54.079
there's a lot of continuity between the
talent that works on those teams. Yeah,

755
00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:59.599
Okay, isn't it wild that we
haven't seen Madden kind of go the

756
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.320
Fortnite Call of Duty skinnification of stuff
of Like, Yo, I want a

757
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:07.800
football team full of Nicki Minajes.
I feel like that would have to be

758
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:10.880
like an alternate mode because I think
people would freak out about that people would

759
00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:15.679
get really upset about that. I
mean, because there's Matt and Ultimate Team,

760
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.360
right, and this is where you
get the decks of cards and the

761
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:22.199
characters. You get like Barry Sanders
and he's like a level ninety nine cards

762
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:25.199
that I can put on my team
and then play us him and people really

763
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:30.280
like that. I wonder if there's
space in there for then you'd have be

764
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:34.400
like, here's my ICP card.
Now I have Violent Jay on my team.

765
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:38.320
Oh yeah, you could legitimately have
a team of all gokus. Yes,

766
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:43.280
I love this idea, but it
would probably have to be a whole

767
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:45.960
other mode separate from Med and Ultimate
Team. Is there much of an anime

768
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.000
NFL fan base crossover. I know
that anime has been crossing over with every

769
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.880
other fan Yeah, na, huge, definitely. I don't know about football.

770
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:59.079
So when the when an NFL teams
announced their schedule, they're they're supposed

771
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:04.000
to do like a special presentation on
social media, and several teams for multiple

772
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:08.239
years now have done anime opening sequences
for shows to like show who they're playing.

773
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:12.559
They'll like, here's Seattle Seahawks,
and like they'll have an anime take

774
00:51:12.599 --> 00:51:16.079
on the Seahawks or whatever, and
that's pretty popular more anime and everything.

775
00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:20.559
Is what I always say. I
don't think we can escape it. No,

776
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:23.400
we can't escape it at this point, especially, he's gonna explode if

777
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:35.119
he's not allowed to talk about two
of us. Uh. Dan, I'll

778
00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:38.400
give you a guess, buddy,
what is the game of the week Armored

779
00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:45.360
Carson? May I just say I
love the narrator in this raze? Yes,

780
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:53.039
Handler Walter Walter Walter has no familiary
about Armored Core until now. This

781
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:58.159
series has been going on since nineteen
ninety seven. No one, I've been

782
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:01.400
working in games since two thousand and
five. I've not one motherfucker has suggested

783
00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:06.159
Armored Core to me. It is
about you. Yeah, it is a

784
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:08.559
failing of all of us as a
society that when you all assumed that I

785
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:13.360
wouldn't like it. I've asked numerous
people, okay, podcast, another podcast,

786
00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:15.039
Oh would I be into this?
And I was like, I don't

787
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:16.320
think so. I think Mitch looked
me in the eye on a zoom call

788
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:21.480
and said, I don't think you're
like I told you this. I never

789
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:24.360
really told you this one. This
one. Oh, I think that was

790
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:29.079
me? Uh And then I think, like didn't Mahardy also say he didn't

791
00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:30.920
think he'd like this either. Okay, yes, what I'm telling people that

792
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:35.039
know me well are telling me I
wouldn't like it. Meanwhile, I play

793
00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:37.920
this and it's making fireworks go off
in my brain. I feel alive in

794
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:40.880
a way that games have never made
me feel like. It feels all those

795
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:45.400
people also never played Armor Cores.
I think, like so many people are

796
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:49.800
coming to this one as their first
Armor, like you, and like,

797
00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:53.039
I think we're all like what,
I've always liked this and I just never

798
00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:59.119
played these games because for I don't
know. I I was talking to Austin

799
00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:07.320
Walker about this. Turns out he's
a big Armored Core fan and so he

800
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:09.840
was excited. We talked a little
bit and uh, he was telling me

801
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:14.360
a little bit about like one through
three are like this, four gets weird.

802
00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:16.840
So it sounds like each one of
them is kind of different and how

803
00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:22.039
it approaches things and and there's ups
and downs and quality and weirdness and stuff

804
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:22.960
like that. I think it's six. They're like, what if we made

805
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:28.199
it really good? Well, you
can definitely see the elet and ring money

806
00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:30.719
in this game. Is it is
gorgeous. I think it very pretty.

807
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:35.559
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
There's something like I've always loved like Devil

808
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:37.440
May Cry Bayonetta. There's kind of
like stylish action, like that feeling of

809
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.719
like when you get that perfect dodge
which time thing and Bayonetta that's great.

810
00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:45.480
This one is just that, but
non stop, especially you get into like

811
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.119
a boss fight and you feel like
you are just locked into the game,

812
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:52.000
like you were connected to the game
this. I know it's overused, this

813
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.039
phrase, but like it's a dance
of this constant like dodging out of the

814
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:57.639
way, getting in and doing your
pulse blade, you know, and then

815
00:53:57.679 --> 00:53:59.639
you die and then you go back
and it's like, okay, so I

816
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:01.239
needed that shield down, so why
don't I do I do a you know,

817
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:06.000
pulse or plasma missile launchers here and
then two pulse guns. Oh that

818
00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:07.760
didn't work. Okay, let's go. I need the blade for this,

819
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:10.159
like I love. Like I thought
the customization was going to be boring.

820
00:54:10.239 --> 00:54:13.679
I thought that was gonna be a
thing that drove me off because like you

821
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:16.320
know, when I play Grant Rismo
or a Fortza, they never fuck like,

822
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:20.599
oh, adjust your drive train,
let's have the axles, you know,

823
00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:22.360
two centimeters up. Like, I
don't do that stuff. I'm not

824
00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:27.400
like a big like gearhead type.
And so when I thought this was it's

825
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:30.039
like, you do have a lot
you can do. You have like four

826
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:32.760
weapon slots you can do. You've
got these like generators, boosters, your

827
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:36.480
arms, your legs, your core, your head, and it's there are

828
00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:38.320
like weight things, so you do
have to consider, like I do want

829
00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:42.079
to do a big bulky guy with
like missiles and stuff. Since the missiles

830
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:45.199
are heavy, I'm gonna need like
a less mobile core. But like I

831
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:47.400
like doing these reverse joint legs because
then you can jump up really high and

832
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:51.599
you're supermobile. So my guns have
to be a little more lightweight, so

833
00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:52.480
you kind of have to speck it
out. But then you can save these

834
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:54.920
loadouts. So it's like, all
right, this boss, I need to

835
00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:58.400
be fast and have plasma stuff.
So I'll go to this load out and

836
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:00.199
you know this one, I need
to be a fucking tank, just do

837
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:04.880
explosive stuff. I'll do this one
literally a tank. Yeah. Last night

838
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:08.239
I did this boss fight that was
it's not the big baltiest one that people

839
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:10.400
were having trouble with. I beat
him. He killed me a lot,

840
00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:13.800
but it was one that people were
having trouble with. And on my third

841
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:16.320
time with him, I did it
on stream and it was I fucking had

842
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:21.519
the last moment. I was one
hit away from dying, and I'd use

843
00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:23.800
all my health, kids and everything, and I think all my guns were

844
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:27.280
reloading and a couple of the guns
had run out of AMMO, and he

845
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:29.440
was about to hit me with some
shit, and I just like in the

846
00:55:29.519 --> 00:55:31.280
last moment, realized, oh my
god, I've got my one time use

847
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:35.840
one permission thing where I can hit
L three and triangle and it makes this

848
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:38.880
huge pulse explosion go out and I
hit it right before I died. The

849
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:44.079
boss blew up and it was just
the most the kids say the thing I've

850
00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:47.800
fucking felt in a game and four
ever, it is so fucking good.

851
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.960
That's that's so fun to hear.
I love. I love when people are

852
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:55.280
just having the fireworks, like you
said, Dad, are going off in

853
00:55:55.320 --> 00:56:00.239
their heads. That's that's good.
In terms of my adrenalin, I'm trying

854
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:02.320
to think of what could even like, Like when I was doing the Tyson

855
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:05.719
speed Run stuff and I had a
really good run going, I was fighting

856
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:08.639
Tyson that type of like physical reaction
my body and my brain, like you

857
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:12.920
know, like you know, Neon
White at times could kind of could kind

858
00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:15.320
of flirt with that feeling a little
bit. But this is just like I'm

859
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:19.800
I'm just my brain is doing things
while I'm playing. I love. I

860
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:22.039
think I may have came off too
negative in the quick look, and I

861
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:25.599
just want to reiterate that I do
like this game. It is just very,

862
00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:30.480
very different than how he was being
billed to me, it being like

863
00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:35.199
a from game and everything, Like
I was expecting like mac Perry's and like

864
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:39.880
it to be Sechi Row, but
it is not completely that. I think

865
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:44.639
that's the thing that, like I
heard several people be a little disappointed by

866
00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:46.920
it, And I think that if
you went in expecting this to be the

867
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:50.320
next game from the creators of Elden
Ring, and you know, like that's

868
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.280
kind of what you're expecting, I
could see this being kind of a surprise,

869
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:53.679
like, oh, this isn't what
I thought it was. But I

870
00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:58.480
went in with no expectations. I
literally loaded it up just to say I

871
00:56:58.679 --> 00:57:00.480
tried it. You know, I
was gonna do like a little stream to

872
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:01.920
check my internet here, and I
even told people to the beginning of the

873
00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:04.840
stream, like hey, I'm probably
gonna play fifteen minutes of this, I'm

874
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:07.400
gonna hate it, and then I'm
never gonna think about this again. And

875
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:08.719
I was like right away, like, oh, hey, this feels good.

876
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:12.079
What's saying? Hey? I know
whoa Okay, wait, I'm learning

877
00:57:12.119 --> 00:57:13.800
how to do this stuff. Oh
that's cool. I didn't know I can

878
00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:17.159
do that. It's uh, if
a fucking like Landmark Zelda game didn't come

879
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:21.480
out this year, there's a world
where fucking Armored Core could be my game

880
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:23.400
of the Well, who knows.
The further you get into this, Dan,

881
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:25.800
it might it might wind up hooking
you. You know, I do.

882
00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:30.400
It's it's severely good. Well since
me an Armored an Armored Core expert

883
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:34.719
here now, Dan rycert, I
do like I've started it just before the

884
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:37.960
show. It runs really good on
the Roger Outlie by the way, yes,

885
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:42.000
like surprisingly good. But so I'm
playing it there. I'm gonna play

886
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:45.079
it on the PC two, but
I have some questions about let the way

887
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:47.719
things work the lock on, am
I do? I need to be like

888
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:52.920
looking right at it and then clicking
R three and and then the red reddicool

889
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:55.239
will go over it and then I'm
locked on. Yeah, that's a hard

890
00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:59.280
lock. So if you hit AR
three while looking at opponent, it'll lock

891
00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:00.679
onto. That way, you can
do some really fast like straps around it

892
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:05.559
stuff. Generally, I did the
helicopter. I needed that at times,

893
00:58:05.639 --> 00:58:09.400
like something can move, Oh you
haven't luck on. I didn't realize it

894
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:15.079
did that. Oh that. I
thought it was kind of wonky at first,

895
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:16.280
but I think I think I need
to be like looking right at it

896
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:20.800
to get the lock on to take
No, it's pretty generous and like even

897
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:23.559
like so I just thought this.
I just thought this like weird like battle

898
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:28.920
Bots sender, Carlos senders this boss
fight Mike you probably know, and like

899
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:31.480
there's like a weak spot up front
that you can lock onto, and that's

900
00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:34.639
what I was shooting for. But
then I realized, like there's almost this

901
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:37.800
like volcano on her back. And
then I just kind of hit up on

902
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:39.599
the right analog stick and it very
smartly just kind of like locked onto it.

903
00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:42.599
Once it's locked on, I think
I could do that, Yes,

904
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:44.800
definitely. Yeah, yeah, And
that's what's cool is like you can go

905
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:46.119
for that front. You can go
for that front. Week spot. But

906
00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:50.280
then I started getting a really vertical
MEC and I was flying above it and

907
00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:52.400
just like shooting into this volcano thing
and it seemed like that was staggering it

908
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:58.280
faster, and yeah, man,
it's just incredible. I shouting to be

909
00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:01.400
aggressive because here that helicopter boss and
it was tough. Actually, ibviously it

910
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:05.960
took me like four or five times, and the time I beat it was

911
00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:08.079
like I just got super aggressive,
was going for the blade and was doing

912
00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:12.159
my best to like you know,
the game's saying getting the air, getting

913
00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:15.679
the air to avoid these things.
It intends per fight. You can't have

914
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:17.239
to see it works. And that's
that's kind of like again a big difference

915
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:22.079
from a Soul's like, well,
that's not different from getting the ass.

916
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.280
I mean no, I mean in
terms of you know, when you're starting

917
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:29.039
an Old and Ring, you could
be like, what's my build going to

918
00:59:29.079 --> 00:59:31.760
be for this entire game? Sure, like I'm going to use the magic

919
00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:35.119
and that's what I'm gonna do the
whole game, or I'm going to be

920
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:37.760
a sword and shield guy like you. At first you almost think that and

921
00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:40.440
that was my mindsets, like all
right, well I'm gonna be like a

922
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:45.079
guy with a lot of missiles and
then you're going to run across the boss

923
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:47.360
where that doesn't really work very well, and you do kind of have to

924
00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:51.639
go into the lab a bit and
you have to sort of experiment and try

925
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:53.960
different builds. So sometimes it's kind
of obvious, like that Big Boss.

926
00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:58.119
A lot of people have trouble with
the Childhood one. Yeah, So much

927
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:00.119
of it is that it has these
energy shield and you need to be using

928
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:04.440
energy weapons to take down those energy
shields. But sometimes you're gonna have a

929
01:00:04.519 --> 01:00:08.119
really fast opponent so you have a
different approach there, or a really tinky

930
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:12.320
one, So being agile and dodgy
stuff can be important there. Yeah.

931
01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:14.880
Yeah, and grub keep an eye
on that like stagger meter because like as

932
01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:16.840
you attack them, the yellow bar
will fill up, and like as soon

933
01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:20.840
as that's down and they're kind of
staggered forbid, that's when if you time

934
01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:22.800
it right and all your ship's reloaded
and you've got your like pulse blade melee

935
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:25.519
and everything, that's when it's like, all right, launching both of my

936
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:29.480
shoulder missiles and then I'm getting in
there with the pulse blade. I'm attacking

937
01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:31.320
as much as possible while I've got
right, that's when the stagger meters would

938
01:00:31.320 --> 01:00:34.079
Now I was like, okay,
I could see that the pulse blade was

939
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:37.559
doing a ton of addition to the
stagger meter and a ton of damage.

940
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:40.079
So I'm like, I need to
get close enough, even though the pilicopter

941
01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:44.800
is kind of like getting out of
the way and making that difficult. I'm

942
01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:46.679
like I figured the timing of like
once he's done moving, he doesn't move

943
01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:49.440
again for a minute, so I
can get in there with the blade do

944
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.079
a ton of damage. And then
it was trivial at a certain point.

945
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:55.480
But the other thing grub is it
was just manually reload, like manually reloaded,

946
01:00:55.679 --> 01:00:58.880
stay on top of your your ammo, okay, so how do I

947
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:00.920
manually reload? About? Call it
though? Why whatever the top bun is

948
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:04.760
and then your weapon? Okay,
all right? Cool? Did not know

949
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:07.599
that, all right exactly? That
was frustrating where it's like I don't think

950
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:09.079
I'm firing anything right now, and
I don't know how to reload, so

951
01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:12.800
I need to give a lot of
uilements to keep track of. And it's

952
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:15.679
so important to like to make sure
you have something to shoot and when you

953
01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:17.119
stagger at enemy to have to be
like aware of like, Okay, they're

954
01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:20.760
gonna be staggers soon, Like do
I have something to actually hit them with?

955
01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:22.039
Do I need to kind of hold
back here because I don't want to

956
01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:25.599
spend this whole stagger bar just reloading
like an idiot. Yeah, and grab.

957
01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:30.639
Have you noticed the yellow like quarter
circles that show up that let you

958
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:34.519
know when missiles are able to be
shot? No, So that's critical.

959
01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:38.239
So anytime you're like looking at an
enemy, you will see like two quarter

960
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:42.920
circles and it'll say like two on
the left and eight on the right.

961
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.039
If you have like, let's say
a dual missile on your left shoulder and

962
01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:47.719
there are an eight vertical missile thing
on your right, so as soon as

963
01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:50.559
you see that number, you know
you can hit it. But then you

964
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:52.519
can also see what is it?
What is it telling me? Is it's

965
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:53.440
saying that they're locked on, they're
ready to go, They're ready to go,

966
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:55.960
They're locked on, they're ready.
Okay, fantastic, All right,

967
01:01:57.280 --> 01:02:00.079
says four enemies. If there's four
enemies there and have an eight missile launcher

968
01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:04.679
thing, you can hold in our
one and kind of paint them and they'll

969
01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:07.079
say two two two two to let
you know that, like each one of

970
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:08.679
these guys is getting too all right, So when I'm locked onto the like

971
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:12.679
the helicopter and I was and I
was firing the missiles, we're all the

972
01:02:12.719 --> 01:02:15.360
missiles is definitely gonna hit that or
should I've been also trying to hold it

973
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:17.440
so it would paint it. Oh, if it's one target, just tap

974
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:20.920
it, okay, all right,
because I thought that's what I thought that

975
01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:23.679
that's what was working. Okay,
cool, Yeah, it's I mean playing

976
01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:27.679
it. I want to know the
answers these things because it's like I can

977
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:30.119
feel like, oh, there's more
to do here. I can get better

978
01:02:30.199 --> 01:02:32.039
and better, and it feels very
exciting when I'm pulling these things off.

979
01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:35.119
Like when I did get in the
ass and I was like, yes,

980
01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:37.400
we're going to take the blade to
this guy, I'm like, Okay,

981
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:39.480
I have a strategy here and it's
working. And studied the blade. I

982
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:45.519
studied the blade emissions. They are
useful and you get free parts. Yes,

983
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:46.559
that's what they just told me that. So I'm going to do that

984
01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:50.000
next. Yeah. Yeah, And
you know, like one thing that was

985
01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:52.280
fun. I didn't really get to
do this because I was revealing it with

986
01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:54.960
like an other ring is actually just
going online and watching people's videos for tips

987
01:02:55.519 --> 01:02:59.280
how to do thing. I imagine
that can help here. But the most

988
01:02:59.320 --> 01:03:01.519
fun thing for me to do lately
with this game after review was to go

989
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:07.039
up online, like on that first
week and go with my endgame MEC with

990
01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:13.039
all of these people just jumping into
these or whatever. Is it just you

991
01:03:13.119 --> 01:03:17.360
know, it's like those It's like
the scene and uh, always sunny kid,

992
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:24.599
when how how do y'all hold the
controller play this game? Because I

993
01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:29.880
wind up having like my pointer fingers
on the bumpers and then my middle fingers

994
01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:32.840
on the triggers because I'm just like
letting everything go as soon as it's I'm

995
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:38.519
fully reloaded. Still just rolling,
Okay, yeah I was. I was

996
01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:42.360
like, I remember that conversation we
had about this jan and so I h

997
01:03:42.559 --> 01:03:44.480
I kind of went back and forth
a little bit, but I think I'm

998
01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:49.000
gonna go with rolling unless my weapons
are in such a way where I'm like,

999
01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:50.840
no, I need to do all
of them at once. But even

1000
01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:53.679
then I think I would just probably
try to tap a quick I already fun

1001
01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:58.559
builds you can do, like is
the dual trigger mode or whatever were you

1002
01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:00.400
just put like two machine guns or
two poles things on there, and so

1003
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:03.559
you're just holding L two and R
two and just like do a wielding yep.

1004
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:06.239
Yea. My kind of my kind
of final build was like my main

1005
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:10.920
arms were just two like Gatlin guns. We just constant spray. Then I

1006
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:14.880
had like the two best grenade launchers
on my shoulders, so they do a

1007
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:16.719
ton of stagger damage and just damage, but they're hard to hit. If

1008
01:04:16.719 --> 01:04:19.480
I can kind of get above people
and wait for them to be on the

1009
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:23.280
ground, then the splash damage is
going to get them enough just to do

1010
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:29.039
so much stagger. So yeah,
I really liked the reverse legs because of

1011
01:04:29.079 --> 01:04:32.000
the verticality you get, but then
I want the reverse joint, and then

1012
01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:35.440
I wound up sticking with the tetrapod
legs because I just really enjoy the hover

1013
01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:39.639
and just like being able to just
stay on top of someone. That's good.

1014
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:43.840
It's good. Also Grub you can
sell items that you buy for full

1015
01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:46.199
price, so spend your money if
you don't like it, you can,

1016
01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:50.840
So that's nice. Okay, So
yes, experiment, So that that kind

1017
01:04:50.880 --> 01:04:55.519
of brings me to one of my
like very small gripes is that I kind

1018
01:04:55.559 --> 01:05:00.239
of wish they just gave you more
tools to begin with, because, at

1019
01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:02.559
least for me personally, when I
was trying to beat the end boss of

1020
01:05:02.679 --> 01:05:05.880
chapter one, I wound up having
to do a lot of grinding and just

1021
01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:09.760
like kind of mix and match all
the parts that I wanted to roll.

1022
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:15.039
With that being said, it is
very generous with the the currency, the

1023
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:20.480
comb you get at the when you
that word comb, it's it's different comber

1024
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:27.199
when you like redo a mission and
everything. So it didn't take That's exactly

1025
01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.880
what I did after when I was
struggling. It was like I had to

1026
01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:32.000
quit that mission just go grind like
one of the easier early ones to get

1027
01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:35.079
a bunch of money. And you
you know, I always like grinding because

1028
01:05:35.079 --> 01:05:38.679
I'm a sicko. But you know, it didn't take too long. You

1029
01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:41.360
can just do an old mission you've
already beaten, and you can get away.

1030
01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:44.840
Yeah, yeah, okay. I
love the way they do. Like

1031
01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:46.400
when you're in the store, you
can just hit Square or AX or whatever

1032
01:05:46.679 --> 01:05:49.400
to play video and it doesn't have
to load anything. You don't have to

1033
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:51.880
go in and actually try it out. You just hit Square and it's like,

1034
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:55.320
oh, that's a big plasma rocket
launchry. That looks pretty cool.

1035
01:05:55.400 --> 01:05:59.639
Yeah, I'll buy that. God
yeah yeah, I hearing your enthusiasm,

1036
01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:02.079
Dan makes me want to go back, circle back and just like try and

1037
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:09.480
beat it. I think I was
on chapter three or four now. It's

1038
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:12.760
it's so good that like that BALTI
is that Chapter one boss that like I

1039
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:15.360
died so many times, and I
remember there's one time I died and I

1040
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:18.440
like I had him down to nothing, and instead of being like upset at

1041
01:06:18.519 --> 01:06:21.360
all, all I was was excited
because it's like, Okay, well I

1042
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:25.400
know eventually I'm going to beat him
and it's gonna feel fucking awesome. And

1043
01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:30.079
it did, and that is very
from Software ask to have that difficulty spike

1044
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:31.199
boss that a lot of people would
never because they'd be like, well,

1045
01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:34.639
this is absodly way harder, but
no, it's actually really fun to hit

1046
01:06:34.719 --> 01:06:39.159
this roadblock that like takes a while, and then again when you do beat

1047
01:06:39.199 --> 01:06:42.079
it, it is this like great
moment. You feel fantastic. Right,

1048
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:45.880
it's not so it's not a Soulsborn
game, but it's definitely a from game.

1049
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:48.800
Definitely. Yeah. The scale though
that they play with is so fun.

1050
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:53.480
Like it's one of the early missions
when you have to jump onto like

1051
01:06:53.599 --> 01:06:59.000
the crawler thing. Yeah, and
I was not expecting the giant laser to

1052
01:06:59.079 --> 01:07:01.360
come out of it. Yes,
and I just got a bit. Times

1053
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:03.440
you just get sucked up in this
game. It's like whoa, Okay,

1054
01:07:03.480 --> 01:07:06.519
I need to rethink this. Yeah, lots of times. It's been such

1055
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:09.920
a busy year that it's like I
was like, okay, man, thanks,

1056
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:12.719
Dan's doing Immortals of Adium, so
I don't just even think about that

1057
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:15.320
game. At Jan's handling Armored Corps. I'll sit on the quick look at

1058
01:07:15.320 --> 01:07:17.519
that note whatever. And now it's
like, man, hearing these games are

1059
01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:20.159
good. It's like Armored Core is
good. It's like, okay, yeah,

1060
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:23.719
I guess I gotta play that as
well as these four other things I'm

1061
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:28.639
playing these. Arma Corps is like
a fifteen sixteen fifteen exactly. These days

1062
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:31.519
is short, so some people will
criticize you. And I don't have a

1063
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:34.360
lot of other things that are working
on the PC handhelds right now, so

1064
01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:36.559
it's like this is a really good
one to play on there. So I'm

1065
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:40.880
glad to have an option on those
right now. It kills me. It

1066
01:07:40.920 --> 01:07:44.000
always makes me laugh that, you
know, five years ago, six years

1067
01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:45.400
ago, whatever it was, when
people were making a big stink about like

1068
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:50.159
they're killing single player gaming. It's
like everything's gonna be multiplayer. Everything's look

1069
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:55.159
at this year the Kingdom, Starfield
Armored Corps, Like, no, I

1070
01:07:55.239 --> 01:08:00.519
think we're gonna be fine with single
players bad play. Yeah, it's okay,

1071
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:03.079
yep, it's uh. And it
always comes from like, you know,

1072
01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:06.400
because some one company will like back
away from that stuff, and then

1073
01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:11.400
they'll have a revelation to look at
another company be like man Cap comes making

1074
01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:15.280
a lot of money just putting out
Resident Evil games. Why aren't we we

1075
01:08:15.360 --> 01:08:17.079
have dead space, Why aren't we
doing that. It's like it takes another

1076
01:08:17.119 --> 01:08:20.239
company to actually succeed at it before
they come around to it. But here

1077
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:24.520
we are, and all these companies, I think now realize they can't just

1078
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:28.199
do the Hey, a live service
games succeeded. We all were making this

1079
01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:31.039
live service games. They know that
they'll they'll make the same mistake again with

1080
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:34.239
whatever the next big trend is.
But right now they know that live service

1081
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:38.560
is not some magical solution for them. So yeah, it's it's refreshing.

1082
01:08:38.760 --> 01:08:41.439
Hey, in the Battle of the
remakes? Which one should I start of

1083
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:46.399
this year? Which one are you
even asking? Yeah? I realize that

1084
01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:49.680
then Mike is here, Okay,
but what other one? Were you gonna

1085
01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:54.319
even say? That? Space Space? I mean the dead Space, but

1086
01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:57.279
it might be, it might be
hard. Nos four is like might be,

1087
01:08:58.399 --> 01:09:02.319
it's probably get them, but like
it might be four A four is

1088
01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:04.880
the best remake of all time?
Dead Space is that good remake? It's

1089
01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:09.800
it's a solid remake. Ari four
goes above and beyond the usual, like

1090
01:09:09.960 --> 01:09:13.319
good remake stuff. I was listening
to the credits song from R four remake

1091
01:09:13.359 --> 01:09:16.199
on loop again all weekend. The
Bullet or the Blade. It's so freaking

1092
01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:21.000
amped up. I love that game. Gosh so jan The answer is Metroid

1093
01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:25.640
Prime Remask, All right, that
happened? Hey, yeah, well that's

1094
01:09:25.880 --> 01:09:30.159
that game is similar too. But
that's not like Dead Space or Resume four

1095
01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:32.560
where they made a new game.
It's not a remake. Before we had

1096
01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:38.960
to break here, folks, gentlemen, it's about to be September. Is

1097
01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:45.239
there is there anything in the back
burner of the of the list of this

1098
01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:48.479
that's come out this year that you're
curious about? Circling back to any anything.

1099
01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:51.439
Here's the one right now this week. Blasphemus two is uh, there's

1100
01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:56.199
Metrid being the game that last is
getting pretty good. Yeah, Blasphemous too.

1101
01:09:56.319 --> 01:09:59.000
It's getting pretty good review scores.
It's got like any four and open

1102
01:09:59.079 --> 01:10:03.720
critic and I didn't I didn't drive
with blast Blasphemous one. But people seem

1103
01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:08.119
to really be into this one,
so I'm gonna check it out, I

1104
01:10:08.199 --> 01:10:11.159
guess. But man, that's just
another thing. And from earlier this year,

1105
01:10:11.239 --> 01:10:14.760
I can't even think, like honestly
four because Micha will fucking murder me

1106
01:10:14.800 --> 01:10:16.680
if I will kill you. If
you don't give enough any chance before Game

1107
01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:18.920
of the Year, we will not
be friends anymore. Exactly. Do you

1108
01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:23.720
want to to do that on a
stream grub? I'm gonna make a stream

1109
01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:26.720
of it, yes, exactly.
For me, there's like a dead zone.

1110
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:29.439
When I started, I had to
have all myself packed up and every

1111
01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:32.159
day. Yeah yeah, so it's
like right when Diablo four and Street Fighters

1112
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:35.039
six came out. That was right
when I was like getting everything packed up.

1113
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:38.920
So I remember thinking like, I
can't even start these games in earnest

1114
01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:41.439
because I'm not gonna be able to
play them so like those are my back,

1115
01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:43.760
like anything that came out basically in
a couple of months, I was

1116
01:10:43.800 --> 01:10:46.239
in transition, Like that's what I
need to get back to. I don't

1117
01:10:46.279 --> 01:10:50.880
think that Systems Shock remake really got
it to do. We did a quick

1118
01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:54.399
look. I really liked it.
Yeah, I want to play more of

1119
01:10:54.439 --> 01:10:57.920
that. I like Octopas River two
was kind of my big one, and

1120
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:02.039
I like I just finished the three
hours of that freak demo and then paid

1121
01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:06.479
the sixty bucks for the full game
and then haven't touched again. Then now

1122
01:11:06.479 --> 01:11:11.479
I'm playing first I was playing Curse
Crackers, so proud of myself remembering that

1123
01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:15.119
name, and now I'm playing Sea
of Stars. So yeah, here we

1124
01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:20.640
are. I this is a very
me pick. But Fuga two Melodies of

1125
01:11:20.720 --> 01:11:25.520
Steel. This is the load a
child into the soul cannon. If you

1126
01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:32.800
really moisturized. It's moisturizer adjacent because
it's all cats. Okay, thought they

1127
01:11:32.840 --> 01:11:38.319
have thought they have famously dry skin
cat That's why I said moisture adjacent.

1128
01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:43.199
But Fuga two. People have been
getting on my case for not talking about

1129
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:48.560
Fuga two, not fupa fuga fuga
Uh God, I gotta I gotta load

1130
01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:53.159
these children into a spirit canon or
soul. Kna do what you gotta do.

1131
01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:57.439
I also god children. Today,
I've been having a note that has

1132
01:11:57.439 --> 01:12:00.479
been burning in my notes app that
I need need to talk about Final Fantasy

1133
01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:03.800
sixteen, and I don't think anyone
is ever going to finish it on this

1134
01:12:03.880 --> 01:12:09.439
website. Maybe Tam will I have
to finish it. I'm a Final Fantasy

1135
01:12:09.520 --> 01:12:13.000
guy and I'm getting a lot of
shit for not beating this game. And

1136
01:12:13.079 --> 01:12:15.439
it's not like I like the game. I liked it a good bit.

1137
01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:19.079
I just don't ever find myself like
in the living room to play video games

1138
01:12:19.199 --> 01:12:23.159
these days, so it's just always
out on the town. I mean,

1139
01:12:23.199 --> 01:12:27.199
I'm always partying, but no,
I'm always like here or in bad playing

1140
01:12:27.239 --> 01:12:30.279
switch like that. That's my two
game modes. Basically, it's there's,

1141
01:12:30.399 --> 01:12:35.000
there's, just there's. The Only
person I've told told my thing about Final

1142
01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:42.319
Fantasy sixteen with is is Lexi Chan
real quick. I can't you're okay for

1143
01:12:42.359 --> 01:12:45.520
audio listeners, Chance holding his cheeks
and he's making his face and I can't

1144
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:49.560
tell if it's a thirsty face or
excited because it's good face about Benedicta.

1145
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:56.319
No, I just couldn't tell.
I couldn't my Yeah, I do have

1146
01:12:56.399 --> 01:13:00.680
a very it's a It may be
upsetting for fantasy fans, but for the

1147
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:05.680
twisted type of fan that I am, it is exciting. Let's just say

1148
01:13:05.760 --> 01:13:10.640
that, okay, all right,
right right? Uh, And you know

1149
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:16.399
a lot of folks know my taste
in role playing games, so we'll just

1150
01:13:16.520 --> 01:13:21.159
leave that there and maybe we'll revisit
this conversation in December. There's no tiles

1151
01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:24.600
in this yes, yes, yes, I guess what you're talking about.

1152
01:13:24.640 --> 01:13:29.760
Surprise tiles right at the end.
Surprise anyway, folks, that was a

1153
01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:33.359
lot of games Mario wonders this year. Holy, there's a we'll talk about

1154
01:13:33.359 --> 01:13:38.000
in the news, but I wonder
direct. So I have a feeling some

1155
01:13:38.039 --> 01:13:39.640
of us might get a chance to
play that. I don't know. I'm

1156
01:13:39.680 --> 01:13:45.159
just guessing here. It'll be weird. It wasn't. Oh what the mark

1157
01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:50.720
Fire implement Gauge came out this year? Really? I like that game a

1158
01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:54.439
lot. I liked it, But
come on, Jeff, everything else,

1159
01:13:54.600 --> 01:13:57.520
come on, come on, Oh
yeah, it's not gonna be in the

1160
01:13:57.560 --> 01:14:00.039
top ten. What is the gimmick
with the hair? Like, what do

1161
01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:03.359
you have to if I don't have
to cut your hair. If I don't

1162
01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:10.560
beat Tears of the Kingdom by the
time the Saturday Giant Bomb panel starts,

1163
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:15.159
I'm oh buzzing the hair off Saturday
and then you're gonna be traveling. It's

1164
01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:19.640
not happening. Yeah, time for
him to play the game. Like shaved

1165
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:24.479
head, not like skin, not
mister clean ball traveling, traveling tomorrow.

1166
01:14:24.600 --> 01:14:30.560
So don't real question jan how committed? Like if you don't see credits by

1167
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:33.319
the panel, are you gonna do
it? Yeah? I'm gonna have to

1168
01:14:33.520 --> 01:14:36.640
talk to our packs person and like, is it okay? If I shave

1169
01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:42.600
my head at a panel and so
much stuff has happening here, they're gonna

1170
01:14:42.640 --> 01:14:47.279
say that'll be eight thousand dollars excellent. Okay, well I'd luck with that.

1171
01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:50.600
I had to double check of whether
or not I could bring clippers onto

1172
01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:54.800
a plane, and apparently you can. I shaved my head the first time

1173
01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:57.279
at a PAX. Then he shaved
my head at a PAX and that's the

1174
01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:00.720
first time I ever did that.
There you go, man incident. We

1175
01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:05.239
cut jess hair in a hot box
garage. That's the real reason. You

1176
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:08.319
know, what was it was that
like a couple of days after Christmas.

1177
01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:13.439
Yeah, yeah, has a late
Christmas party. So I finally told my

1178
01:15:13.520 --> 01:15:15.479
partner about this. Bet after this
story, we'll go take quick break,

1179
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:19.159
folks and get gets here with the
news. Uh. My partner's been super

1180
01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:23.039
busy, so she hasn't been up
to date on like the stupid shit that

1181
01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:25.520
I say all the time. And
I told her it's like, hey,

1182
01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:30.800
uh, there's a chance that I
might come back bald after this work trip.

1183
01:15:30.199 --> 01:15:33.359
She was like what, what?
Why? And she's expressly told me

1184
01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:38.760
multiple times the part of the reason
she likes me so much is my hair.

1185
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:44.960
Yeah, n what are you doing
this? This happens, This happens,

1186
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:48.479
they say that, and then you
get a new haircut that a little

1187
01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:50.520
and they're like, wow, okay, I listen, I was mad at

1188
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:53.600
you, but now I really like
this haircut. That's what happened to me.

1189
01:15:54.079 --> 01:15:56.800
So you're gonna You're gonna be fine. And then I was told I

1190
01:15:56.920 --> 01:15:59.319
was never allowed to cut my hair, and then I did, and while

1191
01:15:59.399 --> 01:16:01.119
Mike did, and now here I
am. That's how I am with the

1192
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:03.960
beard because my wife loves the beard, and like, that's why I don't

1193
01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:06.880
even enter any kind of bets.
That's never consequence. It's on the table.

1194
01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:11.960
That's not not happening. And and
then like I looked at her,

1195
01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:14.279
thinking like, oh, she's gonna
be really mad. Oh what am I

1196
01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:19.600
gonna do. There's no popcorn buckets
in Seattle for me to buy at the

1197
01:16:21.239 --> 01:16:27.880
needle, right, probably beat the
game. And then she was like,

1198
01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:30.520
yeah, he's not beating the game. I want to beat the game.

1199
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:32.800
He wants this, He's wanted this
in the very beginning jan this. Admit

1200
01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:40.359
it. You're never gonna try to
beat that game. We were we were

1201
01:16:40.479 --> 01:16:44.520
doing a quick look yesterday, and
I felt bad because I was quiet because

1202
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:46.319
I didn't want to tell these two
that when I was recording the quick click

1203
01:16:46.399 --> 01:16:55.760
with that, I was playing Tears
of the Kingdom actively because I'm like,

1204
01:16:56.319 --> 01:16:59.199
all right, like I think I'm
okay, Like I think I could get

1205
01:16:59.239 --> 01:17:02.960
there. But these other games,
beauty of remote work, Oh man,

1206
01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:08.159
that's incredible, And that's just not
happening. And then you know, there's

1207
01:17:09.399 --> 01:17:15.720
because some people agreed to a stupid
idea I had. I'm gonna be no

1208
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:18.800
no no, no, no no
no no, I'm gonna be locked in

1209
01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:26.880
into a very unique way of getting
to packs so I'll have time to play.

1210
01:17:27.199 --> 01:17:30.640
He's got He's got a lot of
time. A core rock sounds in

1211
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:36.159
the background of the starfield quick look. I actually there was a moment where

1212
01:17:36.239 --> 01:17:41.239
I frantically had to like jam on
the mute button on my switch. I'm

1213
01:17:41.279 --> 01:17:43.720
like, I hope they I hope
they didn't hear that. Okay, all

1214
01:17:43.800 --> 01:17:47.079
right, cool, that's good stuff. All right, folks. Well that

1215
01:17:47.279 --> 01:17:53.239
is the update on Tuesday, Kingdom

01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:11.159

the news. I feel like, you

1219
01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:15.359

program or some type of recovery program,

1220
01:18:15.439 --> 01:18:18.239

be on the precipice of cutting my
hair, I need to like, I

1222

1239
01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:45.039
game mess mornings. Fifteen minutes.
It said to be fifteen minutes, yep.

1240
01:19:45.159 --> 01:19:48.359
Yeah, So we'll talk over that
and then but but uh it they

1241
01:19:48.399 --> 01:19:54.760
do say it's focused on Super Mario
Brothers Wonder. They normally have big directs

1242
01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:57.279
in September. Do do we think
they're gonna They're not gonna have one of

1243
01:19:57.319 --> 01:20:00.960
those this years. I don't know. I see a lot coping like people

1244
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:02.680
like, oh, there's definitely gonna
be another one. But I mean I

1245
01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:08.119
could totally see them just not really
this time. I mean, what else

1246
01:20:08.159 --> 01:20:10.720
is there really for them to talk
about for the rest of the year.

1247
01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:14.479
There's wonder is the big thing,
then there's all these other known quantities like

1248
01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:19.319
MARPG, the Pokemon DLC has already
been talked about. So I don't know,

1249
01:20:19.319 --> 01:20:24.119
it wouldn't shock me if not.
Honestly, Yeah, Like I wouldn't

1250
01:20:24.119 --> 01:20:26.920
mind if they just if they wanted
to have a direct it's just being like,

1251
01:20:27.079 --> 01:20:30.239
hey, we put out a bunch
of good ship this year, go

1252
01:20:30.359 --> 01:20:31.960
back and check all that shit out, because like, yeah, if it

1253
01:20:32.039 --> 01:20:38.239
wasn't your sam, you know,
yeah, what if like early next year

1254
01:20:38.439 --> 01:20:42.479
they have a plan for like oh, here's the actual like switch to reveal

1255
01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:45.159
like they might have bigger plans that
they're saving for. Even if it's like

1256
01:20:45.319 --> 01:20:46.880
they just start talking about it,
even if they like mention it and say

1257
01:20:46.920 --> 01:20:49.840
here's a name, here's a tease, and then we'll have a bigger reveal

1258
01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:53.680
for that even later. But yeah, that could happen in a direct.

1259
01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:58.119
Yeah, let me you've been you've
been saying you you know a director's gonna

1260
01:20:58.119 --> 01:21:00.479
happen in September, but you said
you never knew what one, Like,

1261
01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:02.119
you don't think there's gonna be two, right there. I don't think so

1262
01:21:02.359 --> 01:21:04.800
be two. I think this is
it. And uh yeah, I don't

1263
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:08.840
think so. I think this is
it. But anything can happen. But

1264
01:21:09.199 --> 01:21:11.920
that's my opinion is that there won't
be another one. This is the direct

1265
01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:15.920
for September. That said, I
am very excited about Super Mario Brothers wonder

1266
01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:18.439
It's been hard to like look past
all the games that we're kind of sitting

1267
01:21:18.439 --> 01:21:20.960
on, but we're I'm like just
getting to the point where it's like,

1268
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:26.560
oh yeah, super Mario Brothers Wonders, super Mario RPG remake, Arioware,

1269
01:21:28.079 --> 01:21:34.600
there's a bunch of cool games this
year. November. Oh there, Like

1270
01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:39.640
it doesn't feel like it feels like
next week is game of the year because

1271
01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:43.239
like, okay, now we're in
November. Now, no, it's August.

1272
01:21:43.359 --> 01:21:47.000
Still, it's fucking August. Uh
yeah, it is bizarre out there.

1273
01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:49.520
I get it. So There's still
several months of games yet to come

1274
01:21:49.560 --> 01:21:55.720
this year, but Nintendo is definitely
on the you know, hey, slow

1275
01:21:55.800 --> 01:21:58.199
decline for the switch. Yeah,
we're gonna keep selling the thing where it's

1276
01:21:58.199 --> 01:22:00.600
gonna it's gonna do very well.
These are all game games that we're very

1277
01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:02.479
excited about. We already had a
direct about most of the games that we

1278
01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:06.199
know are coming, and I think
we're kind of waiting to see if there's

1279
01:22:06.199 --> 01:22:10.560
anything else. If they do have
other announcements, I think that they would

1280
01:22:10.600 --> 01:22:13.359
probably just announce them like on Twitter
or on YouTube like they have in the

1281
01:22:13.399 --> 01:22:15.720
past, and that would be fine. We should all still get really all

1282
01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:16.840
not damn, but the rest of
us should still get well maybe not,

1283
01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:20.119
Jeff, Well, I should still
get really upset if Hollow Night's Silk Song

1284
01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:25.720
is still not at this I'll get
upset with you. I I liked that

1285
01:22:25.880 --> 01:22:30.079
first one for the two hours I
played. Oh yes you all, yes,

1286
01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:31.399
yes, yes. I didn't say
I didn't like it, Mike,

1287
01:22:31.439 --> 01:22:35.239
I just didn't have time and we're
not talking about this. Uh yeah,

1288
01:22:35.439 --> 01:22:39.680
big big spoon heaven. That's right. That's what Jeff called gave Think of

1289
01:22:39.720 --> 01:22:45.439
the day for what does the Hollow
Night's silk song. I silk songs sound

1290
01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:50.239
like spoon heaven. In my head. It's a spoon heaven. The inner

1291
01:22:50.319 --> 01:22:55.800
workings of my brain are inexplicable.
And you know what I've I've come to

1292
01:22:55.880 --> 01:22:59.800
learn a lot about your brain,
so it's not surprising. Yes, it's

1293
01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:02.279
all the subflower seeds stuck up there
and I couldn't get those out. So

1294
01:23:02.479 --> 01:23:08.000
yeah, it's a big problem.
My friends mom once kept calling overwatched Space

1295
01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:14.159
Grumpers, and that's what it reminded
me us, that's we're the Space,

1296
01:23:15.479 --> 01:23:21.640
We're the celebration of cynicism. Yeah, we skipped too many trailers, Please

1297
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:27.359
skip too many commercials. All right, games come happened. I'm not gonna

1298
01:23:27.439 --> 01:23:30.279
go over everything. Here's kind of
a roundup of stuff. There were plenty

1299
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:31.600
of announcements. We talked about those
last week. There were a lot of

1300
01:23:31.680 --> 01:23:36.600
interviews though as well, mostly Xbox
out there sort of on the like sort

1301
01:23:36.600 --> 01:23:40.960
of the circuit of answered questions from
a bunch of different people. U xbox

1302
01:23:41.039 --> 01:23:44.159
is CMO said Starfield is going to
be the start of a constant flow of

1303
01:23:44.399 --> 01:23:47.800
Xbox first party titles, something that
they've been promising for a half decade,

1304
01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:51.159
if not longer, maybe like seven
years. It's like we've not Okay,

1305
01:23:51.399 --> 01:23:55.319
they're gonna get to that point eventually, I guess I want to ask you,

1306
01:23:55.399 --> 01:23:58.279
guys, do you believe them now
that that Starfield It's like, okay,

1307
01:23:58.319 --> 01:24:00.039
Starfold's here, they we're gonna get
help like two and then Perfect Dark

1308
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:02.640
and then this and that and Avowed
and all these games are going to start

1309
01:24:02.640 --> 01:24:05.399
coming out and at a pretty rapid
pace. I believe them in principle,

1310
01:24:05.520 --> 01:24:10.399
but it's just going to take one
or two delays to once again create a

1311
01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:14.479
big pocket that people are gonna stare
at like that's gonna happen again every now

1312
01:24:14.520 --> 01:24:15.880
and then. We see it happen
all the time. But in general,

1313
01:24:16.199 --> 01:24:20.560
I think it's going to certainly be
better than it was these last couple of

1314
01:24:20.680 --> 01:24:26.479
years. Have they straight up said
that like Starfield is not coming ever to

1315
01:24:26.560 --> 01:24:30.199
PlayStation? It's not it's never coming
to PlayStation? Yep, wow, okay,

1316
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:34.000
yeah that's true for all six as
well. Yes, yeah, so

1317
01:24:34.079 --> 01:24:38.119
they're just going on like, hey
this is X yes, yes exactly for

1318
01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:40.520
Beth's the stuff. Yes, call
of Duty. They're not doing that with

1319
01:24:40.640 --> 01:24:44.600
when they whenever they get that but
yeah, Phil Spencer said he doesn't see

1320
01:24:44.640 --> 01:24:46.800
a future where games come to serious
X but don't also come to series s.

1321
01:24:46.920 --> 01:24:50.720
This became a big thing because of
Boulder's gates. We'll have news on

1322
01:24:50.800 --> 01:24:56.159
that here in a second. He's
committed to supporting the series ask throughout the

1323
01:24:56.159 --> 01:25:01.159
rest of this generation. He then
also kind of encompassed a conversation about mid

1324
01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:05.399
gin up upgrades and like a pro
model of the Xbox, and he once

1325
01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:09.319
again said like, we're not going
to do that, We're not thinking about

1326
01:25:09.319 --> 01:25:11.479
to that. We don't think players
want that, we don't think developers want

1327
01:25:11.520 --> 01:25:15.119
that, and we don't want it. I'm inclined to believe him, And

1328
01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:18.600
yet we know that PlayStation is the
rumors are anyhow the PlayStation is going to

1329
01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:25.600
do a PSI pro next year.
Do you guys think that Xbox is Xbox

1330
01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:28.720
is strategy is fine if it can
keep up, if it doesn't have a

1331
01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:30.760
pro model. Do you think we
need a pro model? I think it

1332
01:25:30.800 --> 01:25:35.399
looks bad if PlayStation has one and
they don't. Yeah, I'm a little

1333
01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:40.800
worried, you know, And we've
heard him talk on the couch Phil Spencer.

1334
01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:45.119
There's almost been this de emphasizing of
the Box, of the literal Xbox,

1335
01:25:45.800 --> 01:25:49.359
and I get it a little bit. And maybe I'm just too gamer

1336
01:25:49.439 --> 01:25:54.079
brained, and my ways with the
consoles mattering a lot, even though even

1337
01:25:54.119 --> 01:25:57.199
as I find myself not playing on
the consoles as much as I used to

1338
01:25:57.520 --> 01:26:04.159
say, But I just can't imagine
it working out well if the best PlayStation

1339
01:26:04.279 --> 01:26:10.399
you can get is significantly better than
the best Xbox you can get with no

1340
01:26:11.239 --> 01:26:15.000
you know, new Xbox on the
horizon or something being announced, So do

1341
01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:17.720
you think I do you think that
they could play it off as well?

1342
01:26:17.720 --> 01:26:21.800
You can get more powerful Xbox.
It's called a PC. I don't think

1343
01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:27.039
that'll play well. I don't think
that'll play It works for me with the

1344
01:26:27.479 --> 01:26:30.039
Pillars of the World, right,
right, exactly, got you gotta deal

1345
01:26:30.039 --> 01:26:34.359
with Greg Miller, right and that's
all that's our that's our across. Yeah,

1346
01:26:34.479 --> 01:26:38.640
yeah, exactly. Yeah. But
at the same time, it's like,

1347
01:26:39.000 --> 01:26:41.760
what does mid gen refresh mean?
I mean, the whole naming convention

1348
01:26:41.840 --> 01:26:44.920
of Xbox series, Blake always made
it seem like there was gonna be a

1349
01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:49.680
zillion of these things. So maybe
just in three years we get the next

1350
01:26:49.960 --> 01:26:55.039
Xbox a lot faster than we will
get a PlayStation six. Maybe we're you

1351
01:26:55.079 --> 01:26:58.399
know, the generations thing has already
been all kind of mucked up. Maybe

1352
01:26:58.439 --> 01:27:02.920
that's gonna continue to get even more
mocked up, all right. Phil Spencer

1353
01:27:02.960 --> 01:27:06.079
also said that he would love to
find a solution so games aren't lost when

1354
01:27:06.079 --> 01:27:11.199
the Xbox three sixty store goes offline. Uh, you know, they're they're

1355
01:27:11.239 --> 01:27:13.880
shutting down the Xbox three sixty store
later this year, next year, next

1356
01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:16.600
summer or something like that. They
are most games are available elsewhere. A

1357
01:27:16.680 --> 01:27:19.319
lot of the games are available through
backward compatibility. You would still be able

1358
01:27:19.359 --> 01:27:24.760
to buy them through your Xbox One
or Xbox Series x RS. But there

1359
01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:29.640
are about two hundred and twenty games, according to an analysis by by VGC,

1360
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:32.760
that are not going to be preserved
anywhere because they're only available on Xbox

1361
01:27:32.840 --> 01:27:36.159
Live, Arcade or some similar sort
of thing. And so, yeah,

1362
01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:40.520
that would be nice if we could
could keep those alive in one way or

1363
01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:43.000
the other. Phil Spencer sis,
they're aware, they would like to do

1364
01:27:43.119 --> 01:27:45.640
that. He even brought up that
two hundred and twenty number himself. He's

1365
01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:48.399
like, yeah, I was reading
that story. I'm aware, but I

1366
01:27:48.479 --> 01:27:51.439
don't know how it feels like his
hands are cuffed a little bit here where

1367
01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:56.000
he can only go as far as
like the legal teams at whoever owns the

1368
01:27:56.079 --> 01:27:58.600
rights for these games will allow them
to go. So it seems like many

1369
01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:01.880
of those games probably aren't going to
get served upside of emulation, which again

1370
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:05.199
I'm mostly fine with. I would
love to see a list of those because

1371
01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:09.600
like there were a lot of hidden
gyms on the Xbox Live Arcade, Like

1372
01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:12.600
I have a lot of fondness for
that. VGC did that story, and

1373
01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:15.199
I think they have the list of
all the games that they were referencing,

1374
01:28:15.239 --> 01:28:17.079
So chat once. I'm looking at
it right now, and okay, good

1375
01:28:17.159 --> 01:28:19.840
July twenty nine. Okay, I'm
gonna look for the best ones here.

1376
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:25.840
Oh this is a lot. There
was a real hey day, I'd say

1377
01:28:25.840 --> 01:28:28.880
it from like oh seven, you
know, for like a good five years.

1378
01:28:28.920 --> 01:28:30.960
Then we started getting there, like
there was like the the higher tier

1379
01:28:31.039 --> 01:28:34.359
of like the Limbos and the insides
and stuff like that, and and Castle

1380
01:28:34.439 --> 01:28:39.119
Crashers, and he was so exciting
when like a Summer of Arcade would come

1381
01:28:39.119 --> 01:28:45.840
out. Five games I know I'm
gonna fuck with and yeah, true,

1382
01:28:45.359 --> 01:28:48.039
yeah, Brothers is the biggest one. I've seen so far scrolling through here

1383
01:28:48.279 --> 01:28:53.000
Bro you know Brothers, but that's
that is available other places now, So

1384
01:28:53.239 --> 01:28:55.800
Duke Newcomb three D, How is
anyone going to play that? Yeah,

1385
01:28:56.159 --> 01:28:58.840
that's impossible, right, I guess
I always want to see the list of

1386
01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:02.159
games that also aren't already on other
platforms Connect. I think I have a

1387
01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:04.479
physical fruit and into Connect. Yeah, a lot of it's a lot of

1388
01:29:05.159 --> 01:29:09.840
it's preserved forever now, right,
Yeah, turt It on a disc once

1389
01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:16.359
well is also outswhere so yeah,
okay, okay, may maybe not in

1390
01:29:16.399 --> 01:29:19.960
its original form, but you can
get the remastered version on Steam and stuff.

1391
01:29:20.000 --> 01:29:25.560
So that remastered version of Braid that
was supposed to come out like three

1392
01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:30.720
years ago, it's never gonna come
out. He's being weird on section.

1393
01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:35.720
He's weird. I know, I
love the Witness, so yeah, yeah,

1394
01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:41.119
he's been too busy going off about
being in jars or something. I

1395
01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:45.640
mean a lot of these are just
like Xbox Live Arcade versions of like Resident

1396
01:29:45.680 --> 01:29:48.439
Evil and you know games that are
street Fighter too. You know, it's

1397
01:29:48.560 --> 01:29:53.239
a lot of especially vulnerable. Are
those Connect games that you were mentioning,

1398
01:29:53.479 --> 01:29:56.560
those are the ones that are like
those haven't appeared anywhere else for obvious reasons.

1399
01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:59.880
So yeah, yeah, like Vigilante
eight arcade. You know, there's

1400
01:29:59.880 --> 01:30:02.000
a the ways you can play Vigilania. The truth is if if you want

1401
01:30:02.000 --> 01:30:04.800
to play those games, you have
a year to buy them for your Xbox

1402
01:30:04.840 --> 01:30:09.359
three sixty. And that's not I
don't love that either, but that's the

1403
01:30:09.439 --> 01:30:11.439
solution right now. You can buy
those, Go get them. If you

1404
01:30:11.479 --> 01:30:15.119
want south Park games, Tenneman's Revenge
and let's go Tower Defense. Play those.

1405
01:30:15.279 --> 01:30:19.079
You've never made a shitty south Park
game. I like the Tower Defense

1406
01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:25.640
ones. I think Revenge one was
fucking terrible. I was pretty quickly anti

1407
01:30:25.760 --> 01:30:29.319
tower defense because there was a time
where that genre was getting was going way

1408
01:30:29.399 --> 01:30:31.760
too hard and it was everywhere.
I got sick of that real fest.

1409
01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:35.159
I'm like, I played one and
I was like this is great, and

1410
01:30:35.199 --> 01:30:40.399
I moved on, and then Mike
could be like, hump, I get

1411
01:30:40.479 --> 01:30:43.479
so mad that I get it.
It was like early days of being you're

1412
01:30:43.479 --> 01:30:45.840
working with each other's probably just be
screaming. Then they made a Star Fox

1413
01:30:46.000 --> 01:30:53.479
Tower Defense for them that separate disc. Yeah, I think that can Finally.

1414
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:57.720
That was one of Miamoto's prepe project
pet projects. Right, was that?

1415
01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:00.760
I think he's like, I'm going
to show people why the WU game

1416
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:06.920
pet is exactly good st zero and
then Guard Guard game with zero was progic

1417
01:31:08.039 --> 01:31:10.640
hammer around that time or was that
before that? Was that a week was

1418
01:31:10.680 --> 01:31:15.239
a we game? Oh right,
I'll say this here. I think Clash

1419
01:31:15.359 --> 01:31:18.359
Royale is probably a top fifty game
of all time. Oh man, I'm

1420
01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:21.159
glad. I cried myself away from
that. That was the one time I

1421
01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:26.119
got sucked into the mobile game hole
of spending money and stuff and I had

1422
01:31:26.159 --> 01:31:30.279
to wrestler spent the most money on
Clash Royale. Was it Clash Royal or

1423
01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:35.000
Clashans both? And the answer is
John Cena on both of course, man

1424
01:31:36.680 --> 01:31:42.399
thing going against How are we going
to beat Sena when he's literally just like

1425
01:31:42.520 --> 01:31:49.039
spending like six figures on ship fucking
that rules in it? What's that?

1426
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:51.960
Did you play Sena in it?
No? No, I was in your

1427
01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:58.119
whatever, so no seeing it.
The whole war was Sena because Sina used

1428
01:31:58.119 --> 01:32:00.760
to be in Cody's clan, he
broke off, got a bunch of the

1429
01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:03.079
people on the roster to join his
thing, so that war all having Like

1430
01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:06.800
when Cody referred to me the war
Wascina was already over. They already like

1431
01:32:06.840 --> 01:32:11.079
waved the white flag. He's spent
too much money. Our wrestlers are so

1432
01:32:11.279 --> 01:32:15.560
cool. We're undertakers to see things. Its like, oh, we used

1433
01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:23.279
to trap each other, jacker anymore
someone comes to John Sina's like, I

1434
01:32:23.359 --> 01:32:28.680
bought you a clush card with like
credits it's like twenty two and do that

1435
01:32:28.760 --> 01:32:31.920
for you. Though he definitely wouldn't
know. Let's see. Phil Spencer almost

1436
01:32:31.920 --> 01:32:35.680
said John c Sena. Phil Spencer
also said current Gin prices for the consoles

1437
01:32:35.720 --> 01:32:40.520
themselves aren't going to come down.
He said this is due to component prices

1438
01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:42.760
being kind of weird, like,
oh, the ram that we use,

1439
01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:45.920
no one else makes that anymore.
So it's like we it's gonna be the

1440
01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:48.640
same price, and it's like,
yeah, maybe I think the real reason

1441
01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:53.720
is the people that they're selling consoles
to these days are the people who spend

1442
01:32:53.760 --> 01:32:57.359
a lot of money on console gaming
and so like, like we've always said

1443
01:32:57.359 --> 01:33:00.079
with Nintendo, Nintendo sells the same
system to the same people over and over

1444
01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:04.039
again with upgrades and revisions, and
these other companies are probably gonna do that

1445
01:33:04.079 --> 01:33:06.359
as well, and that's going to
be their main audience is the people who

1446
01:33:06.359 --> 01:33:10.840
are the most excited about the console, and you don't lower the price for

1447
01:33:10.920 --> 01:33:14.119
them because you know you can keep
adding one or two things and they'll pay

1448
01:33:14.199 --> 01:33:16.800
more to get the shiny new things. So h yeah, I believe that

1449
01:33:16.840 --> 01:33:19.399
we've already saw we've already seen this, so right, the switch didn't go

1450
01:33:19.439 --> 01:33:24.960
down in prices. Uh, even
the PS four and the Xbox One they

1451
01:33:25.039 --> 01:33:27.600
went down a little bit, but
they went down as they got revisions,

1452
01:33:27.680 --> 01:33:31.119
and then the revisions replaced them at
that price. So this isn't too surprising

1453
01:33:31.159 --> 01:33:34.119
to meet you guys. You guys
expecting like, oh, eventually you'd be

1454
01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:38.399
able to get an Xbox Series Extra
Place Station five for three hundred dollars.

1455
01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:43.960
I had that expectation, yes,
yeah, but it's not like it used

1456
01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:45.600
to be. You got the PS
one, the lower case of one.

1457
01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:47.520
It was like, yeah, now
you can get this thing for under one

1458
01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:53.199
hundred dollars. Yeah, ninety nine
dollars the magic price point. I found

1459
01:33:53.239 --> 01:33:55.920
my PS two slim the other day. It was great, the one with

1460
01:33:56.039 --> 01:34:00.560
like the fold up of good yeps
my PS one and the groom right over

1461
01:34:00.600 --> 01:34:02.319
there. I got a screen for
it too. Yeah, damn I've been

1462
01:34:02.359 --> 01:34:05.880
looking for the screen. It's very
expensive now ye, I hope what if

1463
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:09.840
it still works? All? Right? Then, Todd Howard said he wants

1464
01:34:09.880 --> 01:34:13.920
to do his job forever like Miyamoto. He also said Indiana Jones is shaping

1465
01:34:14.039 --> 01:34:16.640
up well. He says that that
team Machine Games has the whole killing Nazis

1466
01:34:16.680 --> 01:34:19.600
thing down and they're doing a really
great job. That's exciting. And then

1467
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:25.800
he wants Elder Scroll six to be
the ultimate Fantasy World simulator. It's gonna

1468
01:34:25.800 --> 01:34:29.159
build on the technology that they've been
working on with Starfield. Uh. He

1469
01:34:29.319 --> 01:34:32.039
also like it was kind He bemoaned
how early they announced that game. It's

1470
01:34:32.079 --> 01:34:33.960
like, maybe we did announce it
too early. I'm like, no,

1471
01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:39.279
maybe about it, ye mak,
Yeah, you announce that in twenty eighteen.

1472
01:34:39.359 --> 01:34:43.199
It's twenty twenty three now, friends, they did they announced it when

1473
01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:46.880
they did because I think they were
worried about announcing Starfield and everybody freaking out

1474
01:34:46.920 --> 01:34:49.840
like followed seventy six is. I
think they were announcing it like the followed

1475
01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:53.199
seventy six was coming out and they're
like people are gonna be like, where

1476
01:34:53.359 --> 01:34:56.399
is all the stuff we actually want? So we're working on that and I

1477
01:34:56.520 --> 01:35:00.439
think also at that time they were
worried about people coming in and buying them

1478
01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:01.840
at a low price, and so
they announced all these things to help make

1479
01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:04.600
sure that they were at a higher
price, and that took a few a

1480
01:35:04.680 --> 01:35:09.680
few years, but then Microsoft bottom
after that. So yeah, okay,

1481
01:35:09.800 --> 01:35:15.239
boulders Gate three will come to Xbox
this year after all. Bald Balder's Gate

1482
01:35:15.319 --> 01:35:17.880
three will be released on Xbox Series
X and S this year, with split

1483
01:35:17.960 --> 01:35:20.880
screen co op, the big thing
that was the problem for the Xbox SERIESES

1484
01:35:21.119 --> 01:35:25.199
and the reason it hadn't come to
the Xbox yet. It'll be on Xbox

1485
01:35:25.279 --> 01:35:30.039
Series X and you'll get cross safe
progression between Steam and Xbox series systems as

1486
01:35:30.119 --> 01:35:32.600
well as PlayStation series s will not
feature split screen coop. The game was

1487
01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:36.000
originally expected to be released in twenty
twenty four, but the release date was

1488
01:35:36.079 --> 01:35:41.680
brought forward after Larry and Studios met
with Xbox boss Phil Spencer in Europe during

1489
01:35:41.720 --> 01:35:44.520
Games comm and then the next day
they announced this that they're going to be

1490
01:35:44.560 --> 01:35:47.880
able to pull this off. So
it seems like Microsoft being a little bit

1491
01:35:47.880 --> 01:35:53.039
more lenient on what parody actually looks
like between the Xbox Series X and S,

1492
01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:57.000
but split screen co op on one
of the systems is not a reason

1493
01:35:57.159 --> 01:36:00.239
to hold up an entire game like
this. I don't think so. Glad

1494
01:36:00.239 --> 01:36:01.359
they were able to figure this out. It never should have been like,

1495
01:36:01.399 --> 01:36:05.880
it's nice for doing this. It's
a little bit like okay, oh well

1496
01:36:05.920 --> 01:36:09.920
now that this is like a giant
game actually, and we really would in

1497
01:36:10.000 --> 01:36:12.800
our system. Now we're definitely going
to make sure we can get this working.

1498
01:36:13.560 --> 01:36:15.199
You know, I get it.
Not everything's going to fall on your

1499
01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:17.880
radar, but I wish this fell
on the radar a little bit sooner,

1500
01:36:17.960 --> 01:36:20.880
and this guy worked out right,
and you can tell like why it fall

1501
01:36:20.960 --> 01:36:25.359
on the radar afterward when it became
the biggest game in the world. So

1502
01:36:25.760 --> 01:36:28.039
like, that's that's how sometimes it
has to go. You're right, though,

1503
01:36:28.039 --> 01:36:30.920
I wish they would have realized it
earlier. A top writer is leaving

1504
01:36:31.039 --> 01:36:34.720
Rockstar Games. Michael Unsworth, writer
for Rockstar Games, has left the company

1505
01:36:34.800 --> 01:36:40.760
after sixteen years. Unsworth worked on
many rock Stars of major releases, including

1506
01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:45.119
Red Dead Redemption. Other high profile
departures from Rockstar Games in recent years include

1507
01:36:45.279 --> 01:36:49.680
Dan Houser, Laslow Jones, and
Leslie Benzi's Rockstar Games parent company Take too.

1508
01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:54.039
Interactive has forecast a share jump in
sales during the next fiscal year,

1509
01:36:54.319 --> 01:36:57.399
which is probably going to be driven
by a release of GTA six. Every

1510
01:36:57.439 --> 01:37:00.199
time you say Dan Houser saying Dan
Housen, I know it's biggle to myself.

1511
01:37:00.319 --> 01:37:02.880
Yeah, and I think my brain
like wants to say Dan Housing,

1512
01:37:02.960 --> 01:37:06.159
so I think it even comes out
that way a little bit. But yeah,

1513
01:37:06.279 --> 01:37:10.119
Dan Housing never at rock Star,
and that's been that company's problem,

1514
01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:13.279
I think for the most part.
Yeah, I like I have a different

1515
01:37:13.319 --> 01:37:15.159
take than a lot, Like I
feel like a lot of people in the

1516
01:37:15.199 --> 01:37:17.039
here, like vetteran employee leaves a
company as long as they're not fired,

1517
01:37:17.159 --> 01:37:19.880
that's a different thing. Yeah,
when they just when they leave, it's

1518
01:37:19.920 --> 01:37:24.640
like, okay, well, now
like new people who have supposedly been working

1519
01:37:24.680 --> 01:37:28.199
here anyways, they're gonna get their
chance. This guy's gonna go do something

1520
01:37:28.319 --> 01:37:30.359
else, something new, And like, I don't see any problem with this

1521
01:37:30.560 --> 01:37:34.079
kind of thing. Yeah, I'm
that doesn't. That series kind of need

1522
01:37:34.119 --> 01:37:36.319
a bit of a refresh and it's
roll to any house, So you hope

1523
01:37:36.359 --> 01:37:40.399
that the young people are already taken
over. Anyhow, I'm under the assumption

1524
01:37:40.479 --> 01:37:44.840
if you work at a company that
long, you may have inadvertently helped train

1525
01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:48.000
not your replacement, but other folks
to help fill the void after you leave.

1526
01:37:48.840 --> 01:37:51.800
Right, And it's like you know
where I mean, the vice president

1527
01:37:51.840 --> 01:37:57.760
of writing was his title. We
talked about this exactly. That was already

1528
01:37:57.760 --> 01:37:59.720
a made up thing, right,
that's already a thing they just you give

1529
01:37:59.760 --> 01:38:05.000
to some but because they been exactly, Yeah, that's Semaya Angelou. Actually

1530
01:38:06.760 --> 01:38:11.079
this is uh, I think,
Mike, you nailed it. This is

1531
01:38:11.199 --> 01:38:15.000
normal. This is someone working at
a place for a long time bringing up

1532
01:38:15.000 --> 01:38:16.560
the people underneath him that can replace
him. And now he gets to go

1533
01:38:16.720 --> 01:38:20.279
take all his experience and time and
money and probably get a big investment from

1534
01:38:20.319 --> 01:38:24.239
some outside company, or go work
at another company that already has that big

1535
01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:28.439
investment and take on some new challenge
where he could be the president of writing,

1536
01:38:28.600 --> 01:38:31.760
so just vice president of writing or
yeah, he just leaves the industry

1537
01:38:31.840 --> 01:38:34.960
altogether. Yeah, he's gonna go
work in banking, Like that's I think

1538
01:38:34.960 --> 01:38:39.399
that's what developers do. They work
in game development and to bank. Yeah,

1539
01:38:39.399 --> 01:38:41.680
that's the real pipeline that no one
ever talks about. Huh yeah,

1540
01:38:41.760 --> 01:38:45.079
yeah, it's it's a high game
journalists, games developer, banker, yeah,

1541
01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:48.880
high tech finance or whatever it is, Hi Fi, that's not right.

1542
01:38:48.960 --> 01:38:55.159
Should a bank successfully? Yeah,
the four of us told us.

1543
01:38:55.159 --> 01:38:58.760
I mean I know that we could. I wonder like how long we would

1544
01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:01.560
we would be able to like live
without either killing each other or getting caught.

1545
01:39:02.199 --> 01:39:06.239
I've seen point break and Heat So
I've seen point Break like eight times.

1546
01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:12.279
I watched two days ago. I'm
inspired. I kind of always have

1547
01:39:12.359 --> 01:39:15.560
heat on, like, yes,
I've like I have a half finished heat

1548
01:39:15.720 --> 01:39:19.039
save on like whatever appet's on.
You know, like how like but the

1549
01:39:19.039 --> 01:39:25.920
bookmark when you're watching it and finish
because you're telling yeah, your memory my

1550
01:39:25.960 --> 01:39:29.600
memory card, I'll bring, Jeff, So just walk it to a bank

1551
01:39:29.840 --> 01:39:32.399
with our Blake Club costumes on and
just kind of see what happens, yes,

1552
01:39:34.239 --> 01:39:39.039
buddy, Yeah, and then you
guys will distract them. Will I

1553
01:39:39.159 --> 01:39:45.359
do the actual Robin Yeah club costume
right now, and I'll see how it

1554
01:39:45.439 --> 01:39:51.399
fits tomorrow, Robin, we're going
back to work tomorrow. I'm very exerted.

1555
01:39:53.079 --> 01:39:56.279
I'm the one working tomorrow. Oh
yeah, So I'm just gonna order

1556
01:39:56.439 --> 01:40:00.880
some some sheets and be happy to
keep to figure out my games sooner rather

1557
01:40:00.960 --> 01:40:03.279
than later, so that if like
I had to like get assisted, you

1558
01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:05.520
know, I'd rather do original hardware
if I can, So if I can

1559
01:40:05.560 --> 01:40:10.399
get that set, Okay, if
anyone at packs wants to come up to

1560
01:40:10.439 --> 01:40:14.319
me and recommend something, I will
have a sheet ready to go and we

1561
01:40:14.359 --> 01:40:17.920
will write down every recommendation. Under
twenty hours. Yes, I think it's

1562
01:40:17.920 --> 01:40:20.720
gotta be like twenty twelve. Is
that what the rule was? What was

1563
01:40:20.720 --> 01:40:27.439
the rule? Ten hours spot?
I'm pulling up the rules twenty hours,

1564
01:40:27.600 --> 01:40:30.079
no longer than twenty on how long
to be? That's that's like, I

1565
01:40:30.119 --> 01:40:33.720
think those are old rules. That
was the rules on them. We might

1566
01:40:33.760 --> 01:40:36.399
need to look through us, but
look, twenty hours would be doable,

1567
01:40:36.479 --> 01:40:42.239
but ten hours is definitely the sweeter
spot. Eight to ten I guess.

1568
01:40:42.880 --> 01:40:45.720
Yeah. But if you just hand
me a blink like Xbox disc like somehow

1569
01:40:45.720 --> 01:40:48.359
you like scrubbed off whatever it is, and you want me to just forgive

1570
01:40:48.399 --> 01:40:50.479
it to Mike, I might do
that. Oh yeah, we'll just put

1571
01:40:50.520 --> 01:40:56.159
a label over it, sticky labels. Yeah. The care Bears game here,

1572
01:40:56.199 --> 01:41:00.159
it is like buy where is it? Doesn't let's go sure? BioWare

1573
01:41:00.239 --> 01:41:04.359
is laying off fifty people BioWare is
doing this as part of a restructuring effort

1574
01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:10.319
effort, but really this is about
EA's bad financials right now. EA Entertainment

1575
01:41:10.399 --> 01:41:14.680
different from EA Sports these days.
Back in the day, Ultimate Team paid

1576
01:41:14.680 --> 01:41:17.239
for the whole business, basically FIFA
Ultimate Team. At an Ultimate Team,

1577
01:41:17.800 --> 01:41:20.239
they would just make it a ton
of money and it would all go in

1578
01:41:20.319 --> 01:41:24.520
the same bucket. These days,
EA Entertainment, which is where BioWare,

1579
01:41:24.640 --> 01:41:28.119
is different than what's happening over there
with the A Sports and they have to

1580
01:41:28.159 --> 01:41:31.079
be more accountable, which is actually
exactly how Andrew Wilson, CEO of of

1581
01:41:31.600 --> 01:41:34.960
EA, framed it when they talked
about splitting up these two entities indeed,

1582
01:41:35.239 --> 01:41:39.000
like two separate businesses under EA.
He's like, oh, yeah, and

1583
01:41:39.039 --> 01:41:42.239
these leaders will have a more accountability
and that's going to be great for them.

1584
01:41:42.680 --> 01:41:44.640
Well, it was great for them, and that they had to cut

1585
01:41:44.800 --> 01:41:48.399
fifty jobs from BioWare because the other
thing at EA Entertainment that was paying for

1586
01:41:48.439 --> 01:41:53.520
all the bills apex Legends is on
the decline. Officially internally at EA,

1587
01:41:53.600 --> 01:41:56.880
they recognize it is on the decline. That's not paying for everything anymore.

1588
01:41:57.199 --> 01:42:00.239
So BioWare a studio that has spent
a lot of money over the last four

1589
01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:03.239
or five years making games that are
coming out maybe next year, Dragging a

1590
01:42:03.399 --> 01:42:06.920
dread Wolf and the mass effect.
Who knows that that's the studio. It's

1591
01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:10.439
like, okay, well the accountability
is coming right now before you can even

1592
01:42:10.479 --> 01:42:13.479
put out dread Wolf, and they're
paying the price. They laid off a

1593
01:42:13.560 --> 01:42:16.520
lot of people who were senior staff, people who had been at BioWare for

1594
01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:21.479
a long time. I think the
most galling example of this is in the

1595
01:42:21.720 --> 01:42:26.039
month where Balder's Gate three came out
and crushed the world. The writer of

1596
01:42:26.079 --> 01:42:30.680
the original Balter's Gate was laid off
from BioWare. And there's just something kind

1597
01:42:30.720 --> 01:42:33.520
of rough about that, where it's
like you couldn't figure out that that you

1598
01:42:33.560 --> 01:42:36.319
couldn't figure out the thing that you
made popular originally or one of the were

1599
01:42:36.359 --> 01:42:40.560
one of the progenitors of and now
here you are paying the price, and

1600
01:42:40.640 --> 01:42:43.560
it's it's pretty bad. Yeah,
I mean, it just all goes back

1601
01:42:43.600 --> 01:42:48.439
to how incredibly poorly thought out Anthem
was in every direction, and even sum

1602
01:42:48.560 --> 01:42:53.760
Us up before that within Drameda,
right, this is a Biowors was this

1603
01:42:53.840 --> 01:42:57.960
amazing team that was on top of
the world kind of with Mass Effect too,

1604
01:42:58.640 --> 01:43:00.760
and I don't I don't know if
there's like the lesson take it for

1605
01:43:00.840 --> 01:43:03.199
Mass Effect Too, where it seemed
like everybody relid that game because the characterization

1606
01:43:03.319 --> 01:43:06.880
and the story and so much of
it was working so well, and the

1607
01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:10.760
big takeaway was, well, we
made this one simpler than the last one,

1608
01:43:11.079 --> 01:43:15.000
and suddenly people people like it more. So that kind of was like

1609
01:43:15.039 --> 01:43:16.079
the trend they were doing for a
while. And then there's just the whole

1610
01:43:16.159 --> 01:43:20.760
EA initiative of everything's a multiplayer game. Even the new Dragon Age was going

1611
01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:25.399
to be a multiplayer game, was
by the kind of fight for that to

1612
01:43:25.600 --> 01:43:29.199
not happen. But yeah, now
they're in this rough position where you gotta

1613
01:43:29.479 --> 01:43:32.479
get this Dragon Age game across the
finish line, and surprise, here's a

1614
01:43:32.520 --> 01:43:38.079
bad scate three that ended up hitting. Now everyone's expectations for what a good

1615
01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:44.199
one of these is has maybe changed. It's going to be rough, and

1616
01:43:44.239 --> 01:43:47.239
there's gonna be a lot of pressure
on this Dragon Age game. Yeah,

1617
01:43:48.680 --> 01:43:51.960
people like looking ahead to Dragon Age. I've said before it could have come.

1618
01:43:53.319 --> 01:43:55.760
It was aiming to come out at
the end of this year. It

1619
01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:58.960
was actually gonna come out in September. That was the original internal release date.

1620
01:43:58.960 --> 01:44:01.039
They never talked about any of this
publicly, so keep that in mind.

1621
01:44:01.319 --> 01:44:03.520
But internally they were looking at September
of this year, and that was

1622
01:44:03.560 --> 01:44:06.319
a while ago. Earlier this year, it's like, no, clearly,

1623
01:44:06.399 --> 01:44:09.880
that's not going to happen. We're
gonna go to March of twenty twenty four.

1624
01:44:10.159 --> 01:44:13.000
Now they are seeing clearly that's not
going to happen. It is summer

1625
01:44:13.039 --> 01:44:16.199
twenty twenty four at the earliest.
And to help with this, they are

1626
01:44:16.279 --> 01:44:19.319
taking people off the Mass Effect team
to work on Dragon Age dread Wolf and

1627
01:44:19.319 --> 01:44:23.520
get it out the door. That's
pushing back Mass Effect even further than whenever

1628
01:44:23.680 --> 01:44:26.520
that was going to come out.
So yeah, I mean, a lot

1629
01:44:26.520 --> 01:44:29.640
of that stuff is normal game death
problems, but a lot of it also

1630
01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:34.159
is just Biolway has been a little
bit lost and now they're within a publisher

1631
01:44:34.520 --> 01:44:39.199
that still hasn't found its footing.
And really you're looking at the overall EA

1632
01:44:39.319 --> 01:44:44.399
picture. We taught about Apex Legends
being on the down decline and Madden Ultimate

1633
01:44:44.439 --> 01:44:46.720
Team and fee faulting being over there, but really it's about Battlefield. Battlefield

1634
01:44:46.720 --> 01:44:48.600
was supposed to be this thing that
was like their call duty. It was

1635
01:44:48.640 --> 01:44:53.880
gonna make money every year for them
and just imperpetuity. And that missed so

1636
01:44:54.119 --> 01:44:57.520
hard that all of that fell in
Apex Legends, And now Apex Legends kind

1637
01:44:57.560 --> 01:45:00.760
of isn't even living up to its
own expectation, let on the expectations of

1638
01:45:00.800 --> 01:45:03.640
both it and Battlefield. So there's
a weird position. There's also a lot

1639
01:45:03.680 --> 01:45:09.000
of bone headed quotes that came out
of this story, as well as trying

1640
01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:14.760
to frame the layoffs as a mildly
positive thing and making the remaining employees making

1641
01:45:14.800 --> 01:45:19.399
sure that agile and more focused.
Yep, oh god, I really don't.

1642
01:45:19.520 --> 01:45:24.239
I really really always hated that kind
of corporate talk, and I thought

1643
01:45:24.239 --> 01:45:27.560
we were past it where it's like
that's transparent. Everyone knows what you're doing,

1644
01:45:27.760 --> 01:45:30.960
is like you're saving yourself money and
then telling us like that the ship

1645
01:45:30.159 --> 01:45:33.720
is rank it's chocolate cake, and
it's like, okay, please don't do

1646
01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:36.920
that anymore, but just be forthright. And I thought a lot of companies

1647
01:45:36.960 --> 01:45:40.159
have gotten there, and to hear
the age be like, no, this

1648
01:45:40.319 --> 01:45:45.000
is about agility, and then the
other the other bit about giving studio heads

1649
01:45:45.159 --> 01:45:49.680
more ownership of stuff. It's just
like you were just continuing to displace blame

1650
01:45:50.520 --> 01:45:54.159
like, you're right, Greb.
I thought we were in a more transparent

1651
01:45:55.640 --> 01:45:59.760
age with what's happening with you know
what happens is like these CEOs, they

1652
01:45:59.800 --> 01:46:01.640
were a different book every couple of
weeks, and it's like, well,

1653
01:46:01.680 --> 01:46:04.920
now this is the management style that
works, and it's okay, get out

1654
01:46:04.920 --> 01:46:09.720
of that. Go read by Angelou. Yeah, go read the president of

1655
01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:13.239
writing for once. Go read Animos. Damn it, I did, I

1656
01:46:13.319 --> 01:46:16.520
did, I did. All the
books are available online at the author's website.

1657
01:46:17.119 --> 01:46:21.920
Wow. Someone keeps saying that dragon
Age is getting delayed internally a byway,

1658
01:46:21.960 --> 01:46:26.479
we just kind of talked about this, but that's just a reiterate looking

1659
01:46:26.560 --> 01:46:29.840
for the guy who's doing this.
Yeah, we talked about this on Gamess

1660
01:46:29.880 --> 01:46:32.960
Mornings earlier this week. You know, we've we've covered most the sides this,

1661
01:46:33.000 --> 01:46:35.960
so I guess I'll just ask,
are we looking forward to dragon Age

1662
01:46:36.000 --> 01:46:40.520
dread Wolf like is there? Yeah, it's I know that. Listen.

1663
01:46:40.600 --> 01:46:43.079
I know the dragon Age fans out
there definitely are. They want to get

1664
01:46:43.119 --> 01:46:46.479
back with those characters. But I
was not never really a dragon Age guy.

1665
01:46:46.560 --> 01:46:48.760
I like origins a little bit,
but then all the other ones didn't

1666
01:46:48.760 --> 01:46:53.359
really hit with me. Yeah,
I liked Origins a good bit because that

1667
01:46:53.520 --> 01:46:56.880
really did. That was the one
that almost felt more like, yeah,

1668
01:46:56.920 --> 01:47:00.680
here's the you could see the lineage
from some of those older Seats RPGs,

1669
01:47:00.720 --> 01:47:03.800
but just you know, kind of
made a lot more console friendly. Just

1670
01:47:04.319 --> 01:47:06.720
you know, just the whole Origin
thing was also fun there, right,

1671
01:47:06.720 --> 01:47:11.680
you had a different first act just
depending on your character. That Dragon Age

1672
01:47:11.680 --> 01:47:15.159
two is obviously like clearly like,
heck, we make one of these a

1673
01:47:15.199 --> 01:47:18.279
lot faster and cheaper. Inquisition was
a slight compromise. Some people were like,

1674
01:47:18.319 --> 01:47:21.319
Inquisition, It's a game I played
through once and just never really thought

1675
01:47:21.359 --> 01:47:27.079
about much again. So I am
still worried about dread Wolf being Inquisition too.

1676
01:47:27.119 --> 01:47:30.239
I mean, like the story definitely
is like the dread Wolf is this

1677
01:47:30.399 --> 01:47:35.960
guy from Inquisition, So you know, I don't want it to be that

1678
01:47:36.479 --> 01:47:39.760
set up again. Though. You
have like your one base camp and you

1679
01:47:39.880 --> 01:47:43.960
kind of go out to some of
these larger open zones like Sonic Frontiers,

1680
01:47:44.000 --> 01:47:47.720
and you have a lot of MMO
cool down abilities. Basically I need to

1681
01:47:47.760 --> 01:47:50.680
be sold on Dragon Age, I
guess, is what I'm saying. Yep,

1682
01:47:50.760 --> 01:47:55.600
And we probably won't get that hard
pitch until sometime deep into next year.

1683
01:47:55.920 --> 01:47:58.199
You know, do you accord in
the next year, do you think

1684
01:47:58.199 --> 01:48:01.000
they're going to look at the success
of Balter's E three and like go further

1685
01:48:01.159 --> 01:48:03.880
back to the drawing board now though, I mean, I feel like I

1686
01:48:04.359 --> 01:48:08.840
feel like developers can't look around like
that. You can look around for your

1687
01:48:08.920 --> 01:48:12.199
next game to be inspired, but
if you are putting out a game next

1688
01:48:12.279 --> 01:48:14.800
year, I think it's the best
thing you can do is not even look

1689
01:48:14.840 --> 01:48:17.159
at Polterskate three. You can't what
can you do? Well? Devs don't

1690
01:48:17.159 --> 01:48:19.279
want to do that, right,
They don't want to look around the current

1691
01:48:19.319 --> 01:48:25.039
landscape. But publishers, yeah,
yeah, but they they were like what

1692
01:48:25.359 --> 01:48:28.000
footing did they have to stand on? Where it's like They definitely would not

1693
01:48:28.119 --> 01:48:30.840
have been like, get me Poulterers
Skate three, that's where the money's at.

1694
01:48:30.920 --> 01:48:31.560
Give me something like that. They
would have been like, no,

1695
01:48:31.720 --> 01:48:34.880
that's scary, we don't make games
like that. You're gonna scare away the

1696
01:48:34.920 --> 01:48:39.880
people with the money. And it's
like, okay, yeah, so we'll

1697
01:48:39.920 --> 01:48:44.359
see the PSP lives. It's not
the PlayStation portable though, it's the PlayStation

1698
01:48:44.680 --> 01:48:48.039
portal and it's a remote play handheld
device and I hate saying its name.

1699
01:48:48.279 --> 01:48:51.960
It costs two hundred dollars, has
an eight NHLCD screen with ten ADP resolution

1700
01:48:53.000 --> 01:48:56.039
of sixty frames per second. It
can only stream games from the PS five

1701
01:48:56.079 --> 01:49:00.560
console, mostly within your own household
over Wi Fi, but is the remote

1702
01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:03.119
play app for Android, so you
can pretty much stream it anywhere if if

1703
01:49:03.159 --> 01:49:06.199
you have the connection strong enough.
But they are not promoting it that way.

1704
01:49:06.840 --> 01:49:12.720
I am gonna get one. I
will not, so you have fun.

1705
01:49:13.159 --> 01:49:15.960
Okay, I can't help myself.
Yeah, I'm in the middle of

1706
01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:19.359
you. Two then sure, like
I don't want this? How many PS

1707
01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:26.920
portals are you getting? Dan curious
every system I tend to get at lunch.

1708
01:49:27.439 --> 01:49:30.079
I think going this a system would
be generous every video games thing I

1709
01:49:30.199 --> 01:49:34.800
like to have, So I wouldn't
mind having one. The one I don't,

1710
01:49:34.880 --> 01:49:39.479
I'll ever use it. Right.
The big missing feature that seems like

1711
01:49:39.479 --> 01:49:42.880
it would make a lot of sense
is streaming stuff from the cloud through the

1712
01:49:42.880 --> 01:49:45.760
PlayStation network. Nope, it doesn't
support that just doesn't work. They're not

1713
01:49:45.800 --> 01:49:49.279
going to do that. It's weird. They don't really say why, but

1714
01:49:49.399 --> 01:49:51.279
again, it probably comes down to
like, oh, well, then you

1715
01:49:51.359 --> 01:49:54.319
can play that outside the house,
and they're like, I made this thing,

1716
01:49:54.399 --> 01:49:57.000
might not have strong enough connection,
But then like I you do it

1717
01:49:57.079 --> 01:49:59.840
on the phone, and this is
just no difference, So I don't get

1718
01:49:59.880 --> 01:50:03.600
it. Nightdive is bringing back Star
Wars Dark Forces in TROC three. Nightdive

1719
01:50:03.640 --> 01:50:08.479
Studios is remastering both games. They
announced this as part of their stuff over

1720
01:50:08.880 --> 01:50:12.920
at Gamescom or whatever they were doing
their thing. Both look fantastic. This

1721
01:50:13.079 --> 01:50:15.359
is the latest in a series of
first person shooters from the classic era that

1722
01:50:15.399 --> 01:50:20.000
they are bringing back. They kind
of like are two different tracks where it's

1723
01:50:20.039 --> 01:50:25.640
like TROC three was this the successor
to these first person shooters on the n

1724
01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:29.359
sixty four and then was influenced by
Half Life and Star Wars Dark Dark Forces

1725
01:50:29.520 --> 01:50:32.800
is from that Doom clone era.
But Nightdive is good with any of these

1726
01:50:32.840 --> 01:50:35.199
things. They always sort of figured
it out. So I'm excited to replay

1727
01:50:35.279 --> 01:50:41.079
both of these games. This is
a fun thing. Switch surpasses we sales.

1728
01:50:41.159 --> 01:50:44.560
The Nintendo Switch is overtaken the Wi
in lifetime sales in the United States.

1729
01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:47.199
The Switch is now less than a
million units behind the Xbox three sixties

1730
01:50:47.239 --> 01:50:51.399
lifetime sales in the US and less
than five million behind those of the PS

1731
01:50:51.479 --> 01:50:56.760
two. The Switch had already overtaken
the WI in terms of global sales back

1732
01:50:56.760 --> 01:51:00.560
in February twenty twenty two. The
Switch shipped to three point nine one million

1733
01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:02.800
units. During the three month period
between April and June twenty twenty three,

1734
01:51:03.279 --> 01:51:08.479
Nintendo forecasts it will sell fifteen million
consoles during that time. This comes from

1735
01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:13.119
these numbers come from sir Kana used
to be MPD. They also mentioned that

1736
01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:15.920
the PS five is about five percent
ahead of the PS four when you align

1737
01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:20.239
their launches, and the Xbox series
SNX are ten percent hunt behind the Xbox

1738
01:51:20.319 --> 01:51:25.399
One, but ahead of the Xbox
three sixty. Crazy the Xbox One did

1739
01:51:25.479 --> 01:51:29.840
better than the three sixty, significantly
better than three sixty, at least through

1740
01:51:29.960 --> 01:51:32.840
this point of the generation. As
you get a crass going into the launch,

1741
01:51:32.960 --> 01:51:35.359
what the fuck yep. But as
you get later in the gender generation,

1742
01:51:35.399 --> 01:51:38.680
I think the three sixty continues to
have a lot of momentum, and

1743
01:51:38.680 --> 01:51:42.039
then the Xbox One tails off there. And that's why the Switch, for

1744
01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:44.760
example, is only behind the three
sixty and the PS two in the United

1745
01:51:44.800 --> 01:51:48.359
States. How many react with Switch
Lifetime in the United States. I think

1746
01:51:48.359 --> 01:51:54.039
we're around fifty million worldwide. Worldwide, it's at like one thirty one hundred

1747
01:51:54.039 --> 01:51:58.399
and thirty million something like that.
Yes, is it a wild to be

1748
01:51:58.520 --> 01:52:01.680
just like living through this, Like
the Nintendo just has another banger of a

1749
01:52:01.760 --> 01:52:05.279
console. It's like, yep,
I mean, I just I think it's

1750
01:52:05.439 --> 01:52:11.720
their best console ever. You Switch
their best To argue, like I always

1751
01:52:11.800 --> 01:52:14.560
people always pointed the Super Nintendo,
and I feel like the highs were so

1752
01:52:14.720 --> 01:52:16.520
high there with Mario World, Link
to the Past and Final Fantasy and stuff,

1753
01:52:16.520 --> 01:52:19.399
but like it didn't have the breadth
of great games that the Switch has.

1754
01:52:21.560 --> 01:52:30.279
Yeah, sich Mario Odyssey. Yeah, I think four four best Pickman

1755
01:52:30.800 --> 01:52:40.079
glad we could represent Pickman four here? Three? Ye? Which arms?

1756
01:52:41.079 --> 01:52:46.279
Sure? Give me legs? Damn
it. H I'll give you Exciteback sixty

1757
01:52:46.319 --> 01:52:49.560
four, which is coming to Nintendo
Switch Online Expansion Pack in two days,

1758
01:52:49.640 --> 01:52:54.920
coming on on Thursday. It's the
sixty four game that's joining the expansion pack

1759
01:52:55.039 --> 01:52:58.319
this month. They have like two
more that have been announced that haven't come

1760
01:52:58.359 --> 01:53:01.359
out yet. One of them is
eighty is the other one Mario Party three

1761
01:53:02.600 --> 01:53:06.680
is three on there yet Three's not
on there yet. It must be Mario

1762
01:53:06.720 --> 01:53:11.640
Party three then so now so I
guess those will hit by the end of

1763
01:53:11.720 --> 01:53:14.800
this year. And then maybe I
don't know, maybe they at this Nintendo

1764
01:53:14.880 --> 01:53:16.119
director with the Super Mario Brothers.
Wonder they'll also say, and here's some

1765
01:53:16.159 --> 01:53:19.680
other n sixty four games coming.
Probably maybe not, but there's some.

1766
01:53:20.720 --> 01:53:26.039
We don't have the first Mario Land
on game Boy and oh yeah, I'm

1767
01:53:26.039 --> 01:53:29.720
talking about the sixty four ones,
but yes, there's and like Golden Sun

1768
01:53:29.800 --> 01:53:31.479
hasn't come, and they've announced that
as well. There's a handful of Gameboy

1769
01:53:31.520 --> 01:53:35.039
and game Boy Advanced games that they've
talked about. All right, well,

1770
01:53:35.199 --> 01:53:40.159
last couple stories here. Ben Affleck
reveals his Valerie Maine because when I guess

1771
01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:46.159
I don't know anyone in Valerie Me
neither Mike. You guess some twink?

1772
01:53:49.680 --> 01:53:53.760
You got it right? I think
Ko and raise, he says. He

1773
01:53:53.840 --> 01:53:58.039
says he's promiscuous. He goes back
and forth between the characters. So yeah,

1774
01:53:58.079 --> 01:54:01.920
some twink wonderful. And then finally
the impossible pivot from that fifteen year

1775
01:54:01.920 --> 01:54:05.960
old studio is shutting down. Me
Me Me, the developer of Shadow Tactics,

1776
01:54:06.000 --> 01:54:10.640
PLAYE and Showgun has announced that it
will be shutting down after releasing its

1777
01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:14.600
final games, Shadow Gambit, the
Cursed Crew. The studio cited increased financial

1778
01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:17.520
pressures and the difficulty of maintaining a
healthy work life balance as reasons for the

1779
01:54:17.600 --> 01:54:23.760
closure. Mimmi's employees will be supported
during the transition, and Shadow Gambit Gambit

1780
01:54:23.840 --> 01:54:29.279
will still receive post launch support.
That's it's weird, right. We're in

1781
01:54:29.319 --> 01:54:31.359
this era where it's like indie games
and smaller games and games out of nowhere

1782
01:54:31.439 --> 01:54:33.920
can come out and just blow up
and become the biggest things in the world,

1783
01:54:34.239 --> 01:54:36.439
and then other students like are putting
out their games and like, hey,

1784
01:54:36.560 --> 01:54:40.439
and we're closing down. We can't. This is not sustainable. I

1785
01:54:40.520 --> 01:54:44.359
haven't played that newer game, but
that's Parados three was really good. Actually,

1786
01:54:44.640 --> 01:54:45.439
well, like, yes, it
seemed like everyone who played it like

1787
01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:49.439
the law, but just wasn't able
to kind of reach that wider audience,

1788
01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:51.399
it feels like, and that's a
bit of a shame. I kind of

1789
01:54:51.439 --> 01:54:54.439
hope more people can go back and
find that. But yeah, this is

1790
01:54:54.640 --> 01:54:57.600
rough. Is they they made again? If des Paro three is anything go

1791
01:54:57.640 --> 01:55:00.600
by, they make really high quality
games that you know they don't feel like

1792
01:55:00.079 --> 01:55:03.520
games from small teams. They feel
very triple A in what they're doing,

1793
01:55:03.600 --> 01:55:06.800
that kind of top down tactics and
they've been doing for fifteen years. Yeah,

1794
01:55:06.920 --> 01:55:12.399
yeah, all right, that does
it for the news. So I'm

1795
01:55:12.439 --> 01:55:15.840
handing this show back over to Jana
Chilla. Wow. This show has been

1796
01:55:16.479 --> 01:55:23.000
full of fun surprises and we're just
gonna pet it. Lower our blood pressure

1797
01:55:23.079 --> 01:55:26.000
just a little bit. Take quick
break, and we'll be back with some

1798
01:55:26.199 --> 01:55:36.000
emails and shot outs right after this
break. These are the emails for the

1799
01:55:36.159 --> 01:55:44.479
show. Send your emails to BombCast
a giant bomb dot com as the theme

1800
01:55:44.640 --> 01:55:48.920
suggests. That's right, it's prerecorded. I don't sing along every time that

1801
01:55:49.039 --> 01:55:56.000
we play the theme music. Send
a wide variety of emails whatever you want

1802
01:55:56.039 --> 01:55:59.960
to talk about two bombcasttgiantbomb dot com. We actually have quite a few emails

1803
01:56:00.119 --> 01:56:02.680
this week, so I appreciate everyone
that took the time to write in.

1804
01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:09.520
First question comes from Eric from Glendale. Hey, Bomb crew, why is

1805
01:56:09.600 --> 01:56:13.760
Marrow the only character who gets to
play golf, soccer, baseball and race

1806
01:56:13.880 --> 01:56:17.000
carts? Other franchises and characters should
get in all this kind of stuff.

1807
01:56:17.079 --> 01:56:20.520
More, what character or franchise do
you think should get a series of sports

1808
01:56:20.600 --> 01:56:27.560
games. Man the Dolphin Medal.
You're solid. I'd love a Dragon Ball

1809
01:56:27.640 --> 01:56:30.359
Z card. Thanks Eric from Glendale. Mortal Kombat did it. I mean

1810
01:56:30.399 --> 01:56:34.359
they at least had like cards and
stuff like that as side modes. Yeah,

1811
01:56:34.399 --> 01:56:38.600
I'm gonna go with meddle Year.
Yeah. Ww did a great card

1812
01:56:38.680 --> 01:56:41.520
race, so they should do Uh, they should do one with the tennis

1813
01:56:41.760 --> 01:56:47.079
and soccer. I would play at
w like, oh that's a car combat.

1814
01:56:47.199 --> 01:56:54.199
That's definitely yeah, undertakers, but
twist your rockets. Yeah that's right.

1815
01:56:55.680 --> 01:56:59.319
Yeah, why don't go sure,
Echo the Dolphin is it? Yeah?

1816
01:56:59.359 --> 01:57:01.119
You should have a little tennis racket. It'd be cute. Are there

1817
01:57:01.159 --> 01:57:05.119
more dolphins other than Echo in that
game? I never Well, yeah there's

1818
01:57:05.159 --> 01:57:11.520
Echo Junior. He had a little
orca friend, and there's others. Bub

1819
01:57:12.479 --> 01:57:15.560
yeah, bubb well. Sega did
dude, like the son They do like

1820
01:57:15.680 --> 01:57:19.920
Sonic and Sega All Stars games,
and they actually like the racing games were

1821
01:57:20.000 --> 01:57:24.399
very good. They actually they did
a tennis game that was supposed to be

1822
01:57:24.479 --> 01:57:26.560
very good. I dont't think I
played a bunch of it myself, but

1823
01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:29.239
I kind of wish they just kept
doing that. They should have done a

1824
01:57:29.359 --> 01:57:35.159
golf game also, sorry, resident
evil, resident evil, Yeah, well

1825
01:57:35.199 --> 01:57:40.199
they kind of have. I think
I think there should be a resident Evil

1826
01:57:40.279 --> 01:57:45.359
extreme beach volleyball. Yes, but
oh yeah I want to I want to

1827
01:57:45.439 --> 01:57:48.199
lotion up leon. Yeah, I
mean, don't we all come on?

1828
01:57:53.239 --> 01:57:56.880
Yeah? Put him in the bar
at one, you know, yeah?

1829
01:57:57.000 --> 01:58:00.520
Yeah, for sure? Good?
Was he Chris punching boulders in like one

1830
01:58:00.560 --> 01:58:04.199
of those like but the buller butts
no, but like the ball has to

1831
01:58:04.239 --> 01:58:08.920
be very prominent. Oh okay,
of course, yeah right right, that

1832
01:58:09.000 --> 01:58:11.920
went without saying. But fair enough. I'm glad we got there with with

1833
01:58:12.039 --> 01:58:15.800
the joke, all right. Uh. Ben from Iowa writes in No Wonder,

1834
01:58:15.880 --> 01:58:20.119
Jan is addicted to coffee. He
spends the energy coffee gives just making

1835
01:58:20.159 --> 01:58:26.720
a cup. Do any other giant
bombers spend unnecessary energy on something they enjoy?

1836
01:58:27.079 --> 01:58:31.359
Thanks Ben from Iowa. I try
to avoid spending energy on most day.

1837
01:58:31.600 --> 01:58:36.680
If I do love it like that's
my big gang, Like are pretty

1838
01:58:36.800 --> 01:58:42.880
lazy. Let's be real lazy,
like spending a lot of extra energy.

1839
01:58:43.239 --> 01:58:45.439
If I have to do a lot
of energy, I don't love it,

1840
01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:48.399
like I stop loving it. So
yeah, okay, okay, ever go

1841
01:58:48.439 --> 01:58:51.960
into the same subway for lunch almost
every day for a long time now because

1842
01:58:53.000 --> 01:59:00.560
guess what's the closest restaurant Mayowa?
Is it Subway? It is? Dang,

1843
01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:02.119
yeah, I got it. We
did it, Okay, all right,

1844
01:59:02.199 --> 01:59:04.960
I guess barbecue is a good one
win chip. Yeah, Like I

1845
01:59:05.039 --> 01:59:08.560
do have like the whole pellet grip, but even the pellet grill makes it

1846
01:59:08.680 --> 01:59:12.680
so easy to do barbecue. But
like that is one thing where like I'll

1847
01:59:12.880 --> 01:59:15.359
have big barbecue days where I'm going
to like, you know, okay,

1848
01:59:15.359 --> 01:59:18.399
I'm going to season this now,
then let it set for a while or

1849
01:59:18.479 --> 01:59:23.199
maybe even brind it and that's gonna
take overnight, and then when I wake

1850
01:59:23.319 --> 01:59:25.560
up, I'm going to do this
thing for two hours of prep and you

1851
01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:29.159
know, so that's like a thing
I will spend two days of careful planning

1852
01:59:29.279 --> 01:59:32.640
and spending a lot of energy for
the differences I may not even pick up

1853
01:59:32.720 --> 01:59:40.159
on. Just just treat yourself,
take yourself. Last time, I rendered

1854
01:59:40.199 --> 01:59:43.439
out some beef talo from some of
the trimmings and like put that in my

1855
01:59:43.640 --> 01:59:45.600
rap even because I saw a person
on YouTube do that, so I was

1856
01:59:45.600 --> 01:59:48.479
like, I'll do that and didn't
do anything. I don't know, but

1857
01:59:48.560 --> 01:59:51.439
it was kind of fun to do. Cooking other stuff in the fat of

1858
01:59:51.600 --> 01:59:56.279
other animals is fucked up, but
so delicious. I don't I don't want

1859
01:59:56.279 --> 01:59:59.000
to scare Dan. I know that. You know he's having trouble with his

1860
01:59:59.119 --> 02:00:03.960
grilled cheese, saying cheese or whatever
barely requires six pans for you. Stay

1861
02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:06.039
in my lane with that stuff.
I know what I don't know, and

1862
02:00:06.119 --> 02:00:12.039
I'm gonna not funk around with advanced
stuff like grilled cheese. And what's simple

1863
02:00:12.079 --> 02:00:15.159
to you? What's the what is
the easy stuff? Easy bag? Heat

1864
02:00:15.239 --> 02:00:18.399
up of a box of food arrived
today and I heat up two of them

1865
02:00:18.439 --> 02:00:26.039
a day. Oh your factors?
Yes, okay, that is even easier

1866
02:00:26.159 --> 02:00:30.000
than a grilled cheese sandwich. Yes, it is all right. Moving on,

1867
02:00:31.960 --> 02:00:36.439
You can touch change if it's so
conditioned not to engage. You're like,

1868
02:00:36.600 --> 02:00:40.560
no, I can't even you're talking
about wanting to do a cooking show

1869
02:00:40.640 --> 02:00:44.720
with Dan. Are you you could
still survive? Yeah? Yeah, I

1870
02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:47.319
feel like I am low keyate Dan
Whisper. You know, I know I

1871
02:00:47.479 --> 02:00:51.920
know how to how to get Dan
to get going. You know I would

1872
02:00:51.920 --> 02:00:56.000
do it. I got I got
a document camera, right, here,

1873
02:00:56.079 --> 02:00:58.600
I can put it above a oven. I can. Yeah, we're good

1874
02:00:58.640 --> 02:01:00.279
to go. There, we go. All you need to cook a document

1875
02:01:00.359 --> 02:01:05.880
camera stove is okay? Sorry,
well, I mean yeah, it still

1876
02:01:05.920 --> 02:01:10.760
works for me. I get ovens
and stoves mixed up a lot. Okay,

1877
02:01:11.119 --> 02:01:15.399
all right, in the same unit. It's the same device. You're

1878
02:01:15.439 --> 02:01:16.399
right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. I

1879
02:01:16.520 --> 02:01:19.920
used the word interchangeably every once in
a while, and you know what's wrong.

1880
02:01:20.119 --> 02:01:25.479
The word stove top is makes it
a little bit more confusing as well.

1881
02:01:25.520 --> 02:01:27.960
I get that. Okay, So
when you buy, we go,

1882
02:01:28.279 --> 02:01:30.119
not the top of the stove.
When you go to best Buy and you

1883
02:01:30.239 --> 02:01:32.319
buy that, are you buying an
oven? Are you buying a stove?

1884
02:01:34.840 --> 02:01:41.880
Yeah? I don't think I've ever
been in a position to buy a stove,

1885
02:01:41.960 --> 02:01:45.439
so I'll just come with the places
I move into. I've never bought

1886
02:01:45.600 --> 02:01:47.560
in an oven, so it's the
same thing. It comes in the same

1887
02:01:47.600 --> 02:01:51.479
device. It stove is an oven, what I mean. But then you

1888
02:01:51.560 --> 02:01:56.000
get into like the units where it's
like, all right, we got two

1889
02:01:56.039 --> 02:02:00.359
ovens over here on top of each
other every night, but Dan, no,

1890
02:02:00.560 --> 02:02:04.079
there's like scissors and screwdrivers and stuff
in there. Oh, one unit

1891
02:02:04.159 --> 02:02:08.239
can contain multitudes. Well, it
seems to me like the ovens the main

1892
02:02:08.319 --> 02:02:10.960
event there, and like that's why
I like I would be more comfortable using

1893
02:02:10.960 --> 02:02:15.359
an ovens. Stoves are freaky.
Ovens are pretty simple. Do you have

1894
02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:16.760
a gastric stove? Yeah? I
get like, I don't know, it's

1895
02:02:16.760 --> 02:02:20.640
scary. Is there fire? I
don't know. I've never used it.

1896
02:02:20.960 --> 02:02:23.880
I've never used the one of the
old house. I have no idea what

1897
02:02:24.319 --> 02:02:26.560
not to say. You just moved
in. But now I'm okay, no,

1898
02:02:26.720 --> 02:02:29.640
I you know I have no I
can't at any point in my life,

1899
02:02:29.640 --> 02:02:31.039
I can't tell you what type of
stove I had. All right,

1900
02:02:31.560 --> 02:02:36.319
that's well, that's that's Have you
looked at it ever? Really, like

1901
02:02:36.399 --> 02:02:40.680
when you walk past your like avert
your gaze, so it doesn't like I

1902
02:02:40.760 --> 02:02:43.439
think I couldn't. I couldn't point
it out in a police lineup right now.

1903
02:02:43.640 --> 02:02:48.520
Okay, this is the first time
you use that analogy for picking something

1904
02:02:48.600 --> 02:02:53.159
out? How favorite analogy of Like
it's right in front of you and you're

1905
02:02:53.199 --> 02:02:56.800
looking at like five of them and
I don't know it's one of the men

1906
02:02:57.000 --> 02:02:59.600
and then a stove and They're like, I just can't help you here.

1907
02:02:59.640 --> 02:03:02.640
I'm so I don't know usual suspects
poster but with a bunch of ovens.

1908
02:03:03.000 --> 02:03:08.039
Yeah, and folks, I need
you to write in if you have ever

1909
02:03:08.239 --> 02:03:11.560
been to a police lineup on either
side. I just need to know.

1910
02:03:12.239 --> 02:03:14.640
I just need to know how often
that hasted A few times. I've never

1911
02:03:14.680 --> 02:03:15.720
been in a police lineup. I
wish I would have been. That would

1912
02:03:15.720 --> 02:03:21.399
have been a fun story. We
can a fire stove in Minnesota, because

1913
02:03:21.399 --> 02:03:25.399
I remember that story I told about
getting too drunk with Mark Henry and then

1914
02:03:25.439 --> 02:03:28.159
buying the fake weed from sex World
and I was trying to light it by

1915
02:03:28.199 --> 02:03:30.319
putting it down into the flame.
So I know there was a literal flame

1916
02:03:30.680 --> 02:03:36.319
fire stove Dan, Yes, with
literal physical flames. Yeah, yeah,

1917
02:03:36.359 --> 02:03:41.479
so not guess instead of yeah electric? Where do they get the other people

1918
02:03:41.560 --> 02:03:45.399
for the lineup? The police line
up? There? They're the actors from

1919
02:03:45.439 --> 02:03:47.960
Disney World. Oh, I guess
that makes sense. They need other works.

1920
02:03:48.000 --> 02:03:51.520
They're all just skippers on the Jungle
Cruise. Exactly hundred bucks or something.

1921
02:03:51.560 --> 02:03:55.279
I think I think i'd come on, guys, back me up.

1922
02:03:55.279 --> 02:03:57.439
I'd be pretty good at that,
right, I could be would you try

1923
02:03:57.479 --> 02:04:00.479
to seem like like you're a bad
guy and so it's like it would be

1924
02:04:00.479 --> 02:04:02.720
funny if they's like, I got
you, I'm the good guy. You

1925
02:04:02.800 --> 02:04:08.119
get paid extra if you fool You
mean being a skipper, right, yeah,

1926
02:04:08.159 --> 02:04:11.479
it means being a skipper. Yeah, I know you wouldn't suck at

1927
02:04:11.520 --> 02:04:15.880
that. You Let's go back to
you being in a police lineup. Wow,

1928
02:04:16.399 --> 02:04:18.359
Mike, I think you do great
all right next to you. Man,

1929
02:04:19.079 --> 02:04:23.560
what they're talking about, I don't
know what they're talking about. The

1930
02:04:23.600 --> 02:04:26.680
skipper is one of the hardest jobs, but what I think might be one

1931
02:04:26.720 --> 02:04:30.079
of the funnest jobs at disney World. In Disneyland, you just drive a

1932
02:04:30.119 --> 02:04:32.840
boat. No, you have to
quip, you have to crack wise,

1933
02:04:32.880 --> 02:04:38.119
I'll very good at that. Are
you in a costume? Yes, you're

1934
02:04:38.239 --> 02:04:41.520
at okay, you're no, no, no, you're wearing what the Rock

1935
02:04:41.560 --> 02:04:46.159
wears and jungle cruise. I don't
know what that is, okay, person.

1936
02:04:46.359 --> 02:04:49.399
Yeah you look like a boatman,
Yeah, a good old boatman.

1937
02:04:49.640 --> 02:04:53.199
Yeah, this is a job.
Yeah, you don't have to worry about

1938
02:04:53.560 --> 02:04:56.880
piloting the boat. You just have
to we're not allowed to ask that question.

1939
02:04:56.920 --> 02:05:00.479
With that, I thought that question
was funny, not a lot.

1940
02:05:00.279 --> 02:05:03.920
Tomorrow you're gonna be wearing an outfit
and playing a bad Sonic game, and

1941
02:05:04.079 --> 02:05:10.119
well, yeah, I'm working,
I'm earning a living here, You're contributing

1942
02:05:10.119 --> 02:05:15.000
to the economy. The GDP is
gonna grow incredible. I just look at

1943
02:05:15.079 --> 02:05:17.800
some point in my life like once, I'm like even moreover than I am

1944
02:05:17.920 --> 02:05:21.600
now hard to believe. I know, like I'm gonna have the prestige to

1945
02:05:21.720 --> 02:05:26.479
like make them. Let me like, as a gimmick, be a jungle

1946
02:05:26.520 --> 02:05:30.319
cruise skipper for a day. We
can do that, probably, we you

1947
02:05:30.399 --> 02:05:32.399
know, we just need to pass
enough diet cokes to the right guy.

1948
02:05:32.600 --> 02:05:35.520
See, this is the only difference
between you know, there's a lot of

1949
02:05:35.520 --> 02:05:39.159
differences. This is the main difference. Dan would just start doing this and

1950
02:05:39.159 --> 02:05:41.079
You're like, no, I'm gonna
wait till the time is right now.

1951
02:05:41.119 --> 02:05:45.319
You just gotta do it. You
know what happen. That's the That's one

1952
02:05:45.359 --> 02:05:47.720
of the lessons I've inadvertently learned from
the Book of Chor. Just do it.

1953
02:05:48.199 --> 02:05:53.279
Just just do it, okay,
anything if you don't know any of

1954
02:05:53.319 --> 02:05:56.319
the reasons why you can't do it
is right. I always say about Davis.

1955
02:05:56.560 --> 02:05:58.720
Next time we're going at Disney Park, we're gonna at Jungle Cruise.

1956
02:05:58.800 --> 02:06:04.000
You just tackled current skipper of the
thing over. Dan doesn't physically hurt anyone

1957
02:06:04.119 --> 02:06:10.880
with the dealer the violence. Yeah, you know, he just's turn off

1958
02:06:10.880 --> 02:06:15.199
and do the thing. Yeah.
Yeah. I taught myself that less than

1959
02:06:15.279 --> 02:06:17.399
in like high school. I remember
I wanted to skip out of math class

1960
02:06:17.479 --> 02:06:19.640
so bad because I think, like
Rustle in two thousand, wod just come

1961
02:06:19.680 --> 02:06:24.399
out and I wanted to skip And
it was like I think, I I

1962
02:06:24.479 --> 02:06:26.399
think I knew it was coming in
at a certain time, and I was

1963
02:06:26.399 --> 02:06:28.600
like, I gotta leave during math
class. And I was so up in

1964
02:06:28.680 --> 02:06:30.439
my head. I was just like, oh God, he's gonna see me.

1965
02:06:30.600 --> 02:06:31.520
There's no way to dose. He's
in the middle of doing a lecture.

1966
02:06:31.560 --> 02:06:33.760
He's up by the board. I
just have to walk in front of

1967
02:06:33.840 --> 02:06:35.880
him and not tell him why.
And I was so up in my head

1968
02:06:35.920 --> 02:06:40.159
and I just told myself, Dan, shut the fuck up, your legs

1969
02:06:40.239 --> 02:06:42.279
work, just walk out of the
class. And I just got up and

1970
02:06:42.359 --> 02:06:44.239
I walked out, and I walked
into my car and I drove and I

1971
02:06:44.239 --> 02:06:46.920
bought a video game just listens to
you, like like whenever I like a

1972
02:06:46.960 --> 02:06:49.760
pain these days, I'm like,
okay, I get it, I understand

1973
02:06:49.760 --> 02:06:51.439
about it. I'm a little bit
of pain. Thanks for telling me.

1974
02:06:51.479 --> 02:06:55.399
I don't need to hear that anymore. And it definitely like dampens the pain

1975
02:06:55.479 --> 02:06:57.600
like a body like we're like,
okay, all right, you're on.

1976
02:06:57.840 --> 02:07:00.680
I'm listening to you. It's weird. But exactly do you think just doing

1977
02:07:00.760 --> 02:07:03.680
it means in this situation, Like
I have to contact Disney? Yeah,

1978
02:07:03.760 --> 02:07:10.279
yeah, start asking people, yeah, yes, send them on contact you

1979
02:07:10.359 --> 02:07:12.800
want, but ask like, yeah, ask anybody. Can I be a

1980
02:07:12.920 --> 02:07:16.199
guest skipper, like for like a
specific cruise. Yeah, we need to

1981
02:07:16.239 --> 02:07:19.359
make content and I have to be
a skipper in order for this to work.

1982
02:07:19.560 --> 02:07:21.520
You call them, you explain you're
on a very big pike. This

1983
02:07:21.600 --> 02:07:25.560
is like when I want to do
the roller coaster thing U at six Flags.

1984
02:07:25.600 --> 02:07:28.239
I literally had the idea that I
called six Flags and I was like,

1985
02:07:28.560 --> 02:07:30.039
hey, I worked for a website. Well I think I said I

1986
02:07:30.119 --> 02:07:34.000
worked for CBS. That was that
was a good thing to pull, which

1987
02:07:34.079 --> 02:07:38.119
was true. H And I just
gotta call them do it all right?

1988
02:07:38.239 --> 02:07:42.479
Well, look this is my before
I'm forty or maybe run their goals.

1989
02:07:42.520 --> 02:07:45.279
I'll be a skipper on the general
cruise. I just learned that a an

1990
02:07:45.319 --> 02:07:51.680
acquaintance of mine worked on the Star
Wars cruise thing or whatever. They're closing.

1991
02:07:51.680 --> 02:07:54.720
The hotel they're closing, I don't
want to talk about. I want

1992
02:07:54.720 --> 02:07:57.720
to go do. It's so bad. They could have got they could have

1993
02:07:58.159 --> 02:08:01.680
they could have gone. It could
have been an other it's still open.

1994
02:08:01.680 --> 02:08:05.039
Yeah, but we so they're all
they're all booked up though, so like

1995
02:08:05.119 --> 02:08:11.119
they can't even kill someone for that. There's gonna be a special Star Wars

1996
02:08:11.239 --> 02:08:13.800
lounge on my Disney cruise I'm doing
in November. I'll send you picks,

1997
02:08:13.840 --> 02:08:16.720
Jeff, Mike, tell me what
that's like, because I've been interested in

1998
02:08:16.159 --> 02:08:18.479
going on that cruise. I've never
done once. It'll give me my first

1999
02:08:18.520 --> 02:08:22.479
one, believe it or not.
So yeah, I'm very very excited.

2000
02:08:22.760 --> 02:08:24.920
No matter what, Mike, even
if you hate it, you got to

2001
02:08:24.960 --> 02:08:26.760
come back and just like talk how
good it is in front of Baclar.

2002
02:08:28.479 --> 02:08:31.399
Yeah. Well I heard his anti
cruise rant ud be I'd be shocked if

2003
02:08:31.439 --> 02:08:35.279
I didn't like it. One of
the things, yes, one of things

2004
02:08:35.279 --> 02:08:39.560
I'm doing with my father is there's
a barber shop, but like also a

2005
02:08:39.680 --> 02:08:43.680
cocktail bar, so they'll like make
you an old fashioned to drink while they're

2006
02:08:43.680 --> 02:08:46.479
cutting your hair and stuff. I
don't know why that is, Like that's

2007
02:08:46.479 --> 02:08:52.079
really appealing to like some kind of
weird masculine energy. It doesn't usually come

2008
02:08:52.119 --> 02:08:56.520
out all the time. But yeah, it's just what alpha males do,

2009
02:08:56.640 --> 02:09:00.920
Mike, So I'm not that's that's
that's actually what I do. Yeah,

2010
02:09:01.600 --> 02:09:05.439
it sounds you could do the Jericho
Cruise if if they pay for us to

2011
02:09:05.439 --> 02:09:09.600
come, I would one hundred percent
would do it. Yeah, yeah,

2012
02:09:09.359 --> 02:09:13.079
boy, yeah, that would be
that type of fan. Look, I'll

2013
02:09:13.079 --> 02:09:16.479
say this about the Disney people.
I would a zillion times rather be on

2014
02:09:16.560 --> 02:09:20.199
a cruise of all the Disney people
than with like a gamer cruise or a

2015
02:09:20.359 --> 02:09:26.960
wrestling fan. That's rough. I
don't know. I don't know what the

2016
02:09:28.000 --> 02:09:30.520
Disney people. I say, Disney
people. It's not like it's actually a

2017
02:09:30.560 --> 02:09:35.479
bunch of Disney families. Get families
on vacation and gamer cruise, Disney cruise

2018
02:09:35.720 --> 02:09:39.520
or wrestling cruise. We can agree
all of them are above the pinball cruise,

2019
02:09:39.640 --> 02:09:46.760
right, that's yeah, great.
The boat is constantly tilting and it's

2020
02:09:46.760 --> 02:09:50.920
just a gimmicks. It's like,
look, it's like the pinball if the

2021
02:09:50.000 --> 02:09:54.159
gamer Cruise was set up in a
way to take advantage of all these people

2022
02:09:54.159 --> 02:09:56.000
together, Like there's big like there's
tournaments, there's like a bunch of stations,

2023
02:09:56.119 --> 02:09:58.279
like like when you go to a
game convention and there's a bunch of

2024
02:09:58.399 --> 02:10:01.840
like retro things set up, and
here's the RTS with Smash Brothers. Here's

2025
02:10:01.840 --> 02:10:03.039
where you can play Mario Party on
a big screen and stuff like that.

2026
02:10:03.159 --> 02:10:07.119
Like that could be kind of fun
because you'd actually have stuff to do,

2027
02:10:07.359 --> 02:10:13.520
wrestling, diversify. Come on,
guys, you guys got to be thinking

2028
02:10:13.520 --> 02:10:16.800
about these things. That's a terrible
idea, Mike. We would never do

2029
02:10:16.880 --> 02:10:18.800
anything like that. Yeah, God, can you imagine if we had to

2030
02:10:18.880 --> 02:10:22.319
run a bet, like we actually
had to run the operations of Like all

2031
02:10:22.399 --> 02:10:28.840
right, who's the Church of Breakfast
today? Guys. Maybe my favorite episode

2032
02:10:28.840 --> 02:10:33.000
of Colombo is the one when he
goes on a cruise. That's a very

2033
02:10:33.239 --> 02:10:39.520
fun The Loos cross over with a
love boat. Sadly, No, I

2034
02:10:39.600 --> 02:10:41.039
still I keep threatening. I gotta
do it. I gotta become a big

2035
02:10:41.199 --> 02:10:46.239
love boat person something. Yeah,
you're you're the most love boat person for

2036
02:10:46.279 --> 02:10:50.680
a person who's never seen love boat. Yes, and you've never seen love

2037
02:10:50.800 --> 02:10:54.439
boats, you talk about it.
I talked about constantly. I'm thinking about

2038
02:10:54.439 --> 02:10:58.600
it all the time. I've never
seen a second of it. I don't

2039
02:10:58.600 --> 02:11:05.199
really know what it is, what
exactly is going on. I don't know

2040
02:11:05.279 --> 02:11:07.920
are people falling in love? Is
that? Like? Is that? Like?

2041
02:11:07.000 --> 02:11:13.760
The point of the boat is that
here's a lot of weird Mike things.

2042
02:11:13.840 --> 02:11:16.520
This is especially weird, even for
Mike. I was gonna say it's

2043
02:11:16.680 --> 02:11:20.119
not weird because I can kind of
see it. To be obsessed with and

2044
02:11:20.199 --> 02:11:24.920
constantly referencing a thing you don't know
anything about, Yeah, that's a Mike

2045
02:11:24.000 --> 02:11:28.760
thing. Yes, I guess I'm
thinking about I'm very curious about the love

2046
02:11:28.800 --> 02:11:33.199
Boat. I just haven't gotten there
yet. But why if I never shut

2047
02:11:33.279 --> 02:11:37.479
up about Bonanza? Like, why
would you don't shut up about Bonanza?

2048
02:11:37.039 --> 02:11:39.960
I really think we can get you
to not talk about on any stuff.

2049
02:11:41.560 --> 02:11:43.359
I can't having dreams about the love
Boat, and then I talked about like,

2050
02:11:43.359 --> 02:11:46.359
I guess I should have just watched
the love Boat. And because see

2051
02:11:46.359 --> 02:11:54.800
if all these love boat dreams mean
anything, Mike Mebodi Okay, Mike Mebodi,

2052

good ten minutes, comes from Mike. Uh, what's good? Bomb Shells.

2054
02:12:03.319 --> 02:12:07.319
I had an epiphany about this and
I need to inflict last share it

2055
02:12:07.399 --> 02:12:11.880
with someone. In Spanish, the
letters X and jay are pronounced like an

2056
02:12:11.119 --> 02:12:16.039
h, so Texas is Tajas,
etc. With that knowledge, Javier is

2057

fine. Grub twenty four check. Yeah.

2061
02:12:33.439 --> 02:12:35.000
I finished the second season. I
talked about the next snapping, which

2062
02:12:35.000 --> 02:12:39.319
is one of the most important things
that's ever happened to me. I will

2063
02:12:39.359 --> 02:12:41.079
start season three here, probably after
I get back from packs because there's too

2064
02:12:41.119 --> 02:12:45.880
many games to play and I'm just
he's currently addicted to Heroin in between,

2065
02:12:45.920 --> 02:12:48.279
so I'm just saying, no,
Grub is currently addicted to Heroin or Jack

2066
02:12:48.319 --> 02:12:52.319
Power. Who could say not want
to? I want to live that Jack

2067
02:12:52.359 --> 02:12:56.359
Bower life, so I'll do what
it takes. Bailey Bear check, I

2068
02:12:56.439 --> 02:13:00.479
don't think Bailey has has gotten to
the Barriett. Hi, Mike Bear now

2072
02:13:15.840 --> 02:13:20.119
From my iPhone? God? Can
we just like Truman Project Mike one

2073
02:13:20.199 --> 02:13:24.560
day? I think Truman show me
man. I wouldn't be shocked if I

2074
02:13:24.600 --> 02:13:30.439
thought out I've been Truman shows who
actually make a lot of sets. I

2075
02:13:30.560 --> 02:13:35.880
just ket you're in the real world. Is that why all the events are

2076
02:13:35.960 --> 02:13:41.159
in California? That you just get
on the plane and the set slowly rotates

2077
02:13:41.199 --> 02:13:46.119
to bring Disney Wall there. Yeah. They're working like crazy on this pack

2078
02:13:46.199 --> 02:13:50.159
set right now, really working over
time. Ed Harris is really sweating watching

2079
02:13:50.239 --> 02:13:54.920
this podcast right now. Sorry,
Ed, Bob Iker has been sweating.

2080
02:13:54.960 --> 02:13:58.479
It's like, oh God, he's
figuring out I'm trying to make Oh and

2081
02:13:58.560 --> 02:14:03.119
they're tear fine about I Love boat
because they're were in the boats because they

2082
02:14:03.159 --> 02:14:07.920
think I'm gonna go because the ocean
doesn't exist anymore exactly. Don't get too

2083
02:14:07.960 --> 02:14:11.159
curious, Mike. Yeah, oh
shit, Okay, I'm gonna break my

2084
02:14:11.279 --> 02:14:15.640
Truman show bubble. That's be careful. I want the thought to cross Mike's

2085
02:14:15.680 --> 02:14:18.439
mind if he ever does get to
be a skipper for a day or for

2086
02:14:18.520 --> 02:14:22.000
a shift. I'm like, was
this? Am I getting true? Mitched?

2087
02:14:24.720 --> 02:14:28.199
Like this isn't normal? People don't
get to be skippers for no reason?

2088
02:14:28.359 --> 02:14:39.560
Why why? I am hashtag blessed
backlard next email comes from Alex and

2089
02:14:39.600 --> 02:14:43.760
Bendigo, Australia. Backlark going on
one of his famed curmudgeon dumps. Is

2090
02:14:43.760 --> 02:14:46.600
the first time I've ever heard of
seasons not starting on the first of the

2091
02:14:46.640 --> 02:14:52.960
month as they do down here in
Australia. What's something small and inconsequential you've

2092
02:14:52.000 --> 02:14:56.560
found out that still left you against
Jeff. Oh no, I want Jeff

2093
02:14:56.600 --> 02:15:03.439
to talk about season. Listen.
I get it, I get it all

2094
02:15:03.520 --> 02:15:05.520
right. You're like, oh,
I want to put on my coat on

2095
02:15:05.560 --> 02:15:07.399
because it's November first, and that's
what the weather man says or whatever.

2096
02:15:07.840 --> 02:15:13.079
But like the season's happened because of
where the Earth is aligned and and how

2097
02:15:13.159 --> 02:15:16.479
it goes around the sun and like
that that's just always the same, Like

2098
02:15:16.600 --> 02:15:20.000
that's just not that has nothing to
do with like, oh, it's the

2099
02:15:20.039 --> 02:15:22.239
first of the month. It's like
it happens when it happens, and that's

2100
02:15:22.239 --> 02:15:26.079
when the season begins, and that's
that's That's that simple. But this is

2101
02:15:26.079 --> 02:15:28.239
the kind of thing where I'm like, I get like a simple thing where

2102
02:15:28.239 --> 02:15:30.279
I get worked up on. I
have a couple of these. My other

2103
02:15:30.439 --> 02:15:35.600
is the cartridges, Yes, cards
and cartridges, like the switch doesn't use

2104
02:15:35.640 --> 02:15:37.600
cartridges, is use as cards.
People, I think Monday is the first

2105
02:15:37.680 --> 02:15:45.680
day of the week. Yes,
a lot of people are Monday's first day

2106
02:15:45.680 --> 02:15:46.600
of the week. Sunday is the
last day of the week. It's like,

2107
02:15:46.680 --> 02:15:52.239
no, it's fucking not. It's
a calendar exactly. There was a

2108
02:15:52.359 --> 02:15:54.359
there's a couple other ones, but
I mean that man used to get really

2109
02:15:54.399 --> 02:15:58.439
mad at people who I thought Anastasia
was a Disney movie and then finally the

2110
02:15:58.520 --> 02:16:03.560
Disney Fox and that was kind of
is I'm sorry, Mike that you can't

2111
02:16:03.560 --> 02:16:07.199
hold under that anger that we can
that Russian princess is now a Disney princess.

2112
02:16:09.640 --> 02:16:13.760
Oh god, there was something I
got curmudginey about recently. Oh h

2113
02:16:13.600 --> 02:16:18.560
I got really weird about micro plastics
that like at home, I insisted with

2114
02:16:18.680 --> 02:16:22.279
my partners, like we want to
throw away all of our plastic top of

2115
02:16:22.319 --> 02:16:24.319
over. We can't eat this,
it's got as I'm like, gott a

2116
02:16:24.560 --> 02:16:28.880
glass everything. Yeah, I'll read. I'll definitely like see a TikTok aritos

2117
02:16:30.039 --> 02:16:33.760
an article based on like some research, and then I'll get weird about like

2118
02:16:33.840 --> 02:16:37.079
plastics or metals for a couple of
weeks. Yeah that happens. Oh yeah,

2119
02:16:37.079 --> 02:16:41.239
I'll get also very curmudginey about like
when I, uh, I don't

2120
02:16:41.239 --> 02:16:46.000
know how this is everywhere else,
but like at least in California there's like

2121
02:16:46.040 --> 02:16:48.959
a compost trash can, recycling trash
can, trash trash trash can, and

2122
02:16:50.079 --> 02:16:52.079
like I will get so upset with
someone just hemming and hanging of like where

2123
02:16:52.120 --> 02:16:58.120
do I throw this will away?
That multiple times I've taken someone's trash and

2124
02:16:58.200 --> 02:17:01.120
thrown it away for them because I'm
like, I, you're stalling up everything.

2125
02:17:01.440 --> 02:17:05.959
Just no, please just know this. They're stalling up at Okay,

2126
02:17:05.000 --> 02:17:09.040
there's coke zero machines taking over the
normal things because people will sit up the

2127
02:17:09.079 --> 02:17:13.360
fucking coke zero machine because there's only
one of them, because they take face

2128
02:17:13.799 --> 02:17:16.360
the freestyle freestyle, thank you freestyle
machines, yes, and then they'll be

2129
02:17:16.479 --> 02:17:18.719
like, well, I have all
the options in the world, I better

2130
02:17:18.799 --> 02:17:22.840
do some artists free with my drink. Here, go to hell and get

2131
02:17:22.879 --> 02:17:26.360
your diet coke. We all know
you're gonna get. Oh, you're gonna

2132
02:17:26.360 --> 02:17:28.280
put little cherry in there. Fuck
off, get your drink. I'm behind

2133
02:17:28.319 --> 02:17:33.120
you. I want my drink too. I think we've realized that the freestyle

2134
02:17:33.159 --> 02:17:35.159
machines were a mistake because they break
out. I'm pro. I'm pro.

2135
02:17:35.440 --> 02:17:39.440
No, they're they're good in the
drive through when you order to drink and

2136
02:17:39.479 --> 02:17:41.760
you don't know that you have all
those options. But when you have all

2137
02:17:41.840 --> 02:17:43.399
those options, it's not suddenly gonna
be so so much better that you have

2138
02:17:43.479 --> 02:17:46.440
the options. You're still gonna get
the thing you like. They also have

2139
02:17:46.600 --> 02:17:50.399
so many options of like just zero, like a Mellow Yellow zero and Sprite

2140
02:17:50.479 --> 02:17:54.280
zero and Doctor Pepper zero, and
like you know, usually you don't you

2141
02:17:54.319 --> 02:17:56.440
have, like diet coke is the
option, and there's not a lot of

2142
02:17:56.680 --> 02:18:00.280
diet Listen, I don't blame you
for that. Yes, but if I

2143
02:18:00.319 --> 02:18:03.959
have to wait behind someone for five
minutes while they're deciding like some masterpiece that

2144
02:18:03.959 --> 02:18:07.120
they're gonna make that's very I'm not
really mad when they changed the label for

2145
02:18:07.239 --> 02:18:09.280
coke zero. They used to be
that nice. Well, they changed everything

2146
02:18:09.399 --> 02:18:13.319
though about clear like when that happened. I told him that it was they

2147
02:18:13.360 --> 02:18:18.559
were getting rid of coke zero,
and he was like devastated because it's his

2148
02:18:18.639 --> 02:18:20.559
favorite thing. It is if it
tried to drink less. Yeah, well

2149
02:18:20.559 --> 02:18:24.360
they changed the formula twice now,
and both times the formula change is something

2150
02:18:24.360 --> 02:18:28.639
I got over real quick. But
I still hate the new cans because it

2151
02:18:28.719 --> 02:18:30.959
used to be really easy. Well, these are the black can cokes.

2152
02:18:31.000 --> 02:18:35.040
The gray cans is diet black coke
zero, red is regular coke. Was

2153
02:18:35.200 --> 02:18:39.000
casting free for Grandma's right now cokes. He was just also read for some

2154
02:18:39.120 --> 02:18:41.799
reason. But the letters are black, like this looks way worse. It

2155
02:18:41.959 --> 02:18:46.719
was a nicer, well designed can
like the black og Coke zero. It

2156
02:18:46.799 --> 02:18:50.200
was real slick. I have a
Christmas ornament of that can. I felt

2157
02:18:50.360 --> 02:18:54.600
cool drinking a Coke zero. Yeah, they all felt like chads. Well,

2158
02:18:54.879 --> 02:18:58.600
I definitely felt cool drinking Pepsi max
until it like I destroyed my throat.

2159
02:18:58.680 --> 02:19:03.120
I was doctor pepper Tens. Well, of course, that's why I

2160
02:19:03.159 --> 02:19:05.760
stopped drinking pop because all this pops
for women. What am I gonna do?

2161
02:19:07.840 --> 02:19:11.799
Pepper, I'm secure, I'm good. I need my masculine soda.

2162
02:19:11.479 --> 02:19:15.319
Yeah, those are the top two
Coke zero diet Doctor Pepper, those are

2163
02:19:15.360 --> 02:19:18.719
the best. Sorry, Starry is
the new kid on the block, and

2164
02:19:20.239 --> 02:19:24.079
it is just it just it's a
more fun name and a more fun can

2165
02:19:24.760 --> 02:19:28.680
storry a lot more than Serra.
Miss I never ever bought Sera, miss.

2166
02:19:28.760 --> 02:19:33.520
I buy Starry every time I'm at
the story. I agree with everything

2167
02:19:33.559 --> 02:19:37.760
you just said. Yeah, I
said, want to do these rebrand Good

2168
02:19:37.840 --> 02:19:39.639
job. I want to give him, you know, crazy to take my

2169
02:19:39.680 --> 02:19:43.520
money. Good job, Starry.
Uh. The other time zone stuff,

2170
02:19:43.559 --> 02:19:46.479
not time zones, but daylight savings
time. So when you get emailed,

2171
02:19:46.479 --> 02:19:50.040
they're like, this is gonna happen
at seven pm Eastern Standard time, and

2172
02:19:50.079 --> 02:19:56.079
I'm like, it's Eastern daylights time
right now. You're because Jeff Jeff said

2173
02:19:56.120 --> 02:19:58.559
this, and I can never keep
tracks, and now I always just write

2174
02:19:58.559 --> 02:20:03.319
out Sterner Pacific. Yeah you can
just skip it. Yeah. And then

2175
02:20:03.799 --> 02:20:09.200
the generations things I saw yesterday,
Someone's like, what was the best controller

2176
02:20:09.239 --> 02:20:11.879
of the six generation consoles? Shut
up, you nerds. We never use

2177
02:20:11.959 --> 02:20:16.200
that that's such a stupid thing.
You guys have to put everything in your

2178
02:20:16.239 --> 02:20:18.639
little buckets. Get over it.
It's so confusing, it's useless. I

2179
02:20:18.760 --> 02:20:24.840
hate it so much. Just when
people describe anything with pixel art as eight

2180
02:20:24.920 --> 02:20:28.280
bit style. Yeah, okay,
looks like the most fucking detailed like PS

2181
02:20:28.360 --> 02:20:31.000
one sprite artists. Oh yeah,
it's like pixel e eight bit like Nintendo

2182
02:20:31.120 --> 02:20:33.840
Arts Like. Nope, nope,
that's a very specific look a bit.

2183
02:20:35.200 --> 02:20:39.799
I think we've learned that we're all
a little bit curmudgeny. That's fine.

2184
02:20:39.120 --> 02:20:45.079
I mean all of us added up
don't equal one. Backlar, surprisingly,

2185
02:20:45.239 --> 02:20:50.079
I was I was shocked to hear
the cruise hate. I thought a nice

2186
02:20:50.159 --> 02:20:52.799
cruise vacation is something that Jeff Backlar
would enjoy, But I guess not.

2187
02:20:54.040 --> 02:20:56.440
Yeah, well, i'll report back
when I do my Disney cruise. I'm

2188
02:20:56.479 --> 02:21:00.840
looking forward to it. Please.
