Why do 9 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.200 we have to go so high to get this to trigger? I just talk 10 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:25.439 normal? Does it work? You just have a nice skare to say you're 11 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.359 someone I've never heard sing. Actually it's Jeff Backlar. Hey, what's going 12 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.959 on everyone? How are we doing this? Fine? Tuesday? I didn't 13 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.000 realize over the weekend joining us also, Dan reichert yes, hello, hi. 14 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.200 Uh. Somehow I didn't notice this, but Toto's Africa played in the 15 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:57.519 car for a good like ten times without me noticing stop it. I didn't 16 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.120 realize it. I because like the pup was like fiddling around in the middle 17 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:08.080 console and I think her paw somehow hit the repeat button on Spotify. Wows. 18 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.240 Yeah, she's part of the conspiracy. Did you think about that, 19 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.840 Jeff Backler, that maybe someone just like sat on like the repeat button. 20 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.280 Were there any corgies in the restaurant that could have been responsible, now that 21 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.280 you mention it, Uh no, I think no. No, someone way 22 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:31.479 more evil than an innocent little corgy dog could have had to behind. She's 23 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.159 not soon to send these days. Man. That is a song though, 24 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.080 that it keeps going and you kind of it does have like a fade out, 25 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.919 so like it clearly ends, but by that point, yeah, like 26 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.319 if you're not if you're not being real hawkish, you you will miss the 27 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.879 end, if you're not being vigilant, if you're not standing on that wall, 28 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.520 who watches? Should we? Yeah? You know that's the thing that 29 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.080 I noticed in songs from like the eighties early nineties that they would just have 30 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.599 like a soft fade out rather than like an abrupt written long songs don't fade 31 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.479 out anymore really, Yeah, I know. I was never a big fan 32 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.919 of the fade. I need to end on like something a statement, you 33 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.240 know. Yeah, Okay, because I was thinking maybe we should just start 34 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.879 ending the podcast with like a soft fade out as we're like continuing the conversation 35 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.560 and the people be like, oh, what were they talking about. I 36 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.280 kind of like that. I like coming in with that. I like coming 37 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.759 in with it with the fade out. Oh where we came in the room 38 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.120 in the middle of a conversation. It's on media resay, on media reservoir 39 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.319 dogs, right, that's where the term comes from, right, correct, 40 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.759 same language. Yeah, look at us, look at us film majors. 41 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.960 There you have it. Sometimes at the end of a song, like when 42 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.680 they would do the fade out, you would hear they would like play around 43 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.199 in the fade out, Like sometimes they would do like a cool like drum 44 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.240 fill or something. You'd be like, oh, they did a little thing. 45 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.840 It was like really low, but I heard it. You're just we're 46 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.199 just messing around. I like when like the band's like clapping for each other 47 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.039 and be like, yeah, let's do that again. Yeah, okay, 48 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.719 this is the one stays gone to days gone Like that was full, Let's 49 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.840 do it again. I'm like, yeah, yeah, to be about the 50 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.479 music, you know, that's when he used to be all about the music, 51 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.599 just like the bomb Cast. Yeah, wasn't the urban legend like you 52 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.639 know Rainy Day Women by Bob Dylan, everybody must get a stone song where 53 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.160 he like they all got super fucking high, and then he like right before 54 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.560 they recorded, he took all these studio musicians instruments away and swap them to 55 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.560 different musicians, like I'm gonna give the guitar to the drummer, I'm gonna 56 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.000 give the and then they're all just high as fuck. And that's why that 57 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.519 song just sounds warribly and fucked up all the time, and they're all they're 58 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.839 laughings around it. You know, we should do that, We should do 59 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.879 We don't even need to be under the influence. I just don't know how 60 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.399 well any of us play an instrument. You guys play instruments. I could 61 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.800 play the alto saxophone a little bit, oh spicy, a little bit like 62 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.959 it. Yes, yeah, I can play them, and the guitar poorly, 63 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.120 ooh ooh ie, both those things. I took guitar lessons in high 64 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.560 school at Mars Music, and I told him I just went in there and 65 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.680 like before I went to learn, like they're trying to to me chords and 66 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:01.879 stuff, and that confused me, and I was like, no, can 67 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.879 you just teach me how to play like sleep down the Fire like Gorilla Radio, 68 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.160 like just a bunch of rage against Like how does Tom Marrella do that? 69 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.079 Weird? Can I put a screwdriver in here and make it make some 70 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:14.160 weird sounds? You need to learn chords still. I was there for a 71 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.079 month and then I left, But you knew what you wanted to learn, 72 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:21.079 though, Dan, that's the thing rage against the machines, Becklor. Do 73 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.160 you play anything? You have a drum kit? Yeah? Drums? Okay, 74 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.439 all right, there we go, we got we got a band, 75 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.800 right me one? Dan, you'll be the vocalist. Oh excellent, good 76 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.240 name? Should all be so lucky? Can maybe you could just be like 77 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.519 an angel. I think could just be our hype man, to be honest, 78 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.439 you know, just pound like your opener, like you're a stand up 79 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.720 opener for a maybe not maybe you don't even talk. Maybe you just sort 80 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.160 of like wave your hands around, clock your flay. You come out and 81 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.160 I can do a bunch of like hype up stuff. Yeah you have like 82 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.040 a little rally rag right, Yeah? You play that that Chicago Bulls song 83 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.439 before they come out. Yeah you do, like the running Man dance? 84 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.439 Just do that at the entire I don't think I've tried. I don't think 85 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.399 I can. That doesn't matter. What would Dan's job in a tore be 86 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.600 like, I don't think it would be. It would be the would trust 87 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.399 with the merch, would be trust on the merch? Wait, no, 88 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.639 hang, I know he'd be like the head bouncer, like telling all the 89 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.480 other busters how to handle the people. Yeah, okay, but not actually 90 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.720 getting physical. I'm anything. Let me take a nap boy. Yeah. 91 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.600 Yeah, when you ask me to do the running Man, I don't know 92 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.240 if you're referencing this or if you've even knew this. When I was asked 93 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.040 to do the Running Man on camera for the Beauty and the Geek auditions, 94 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.319 Oh wow, I didn't know, if you're right. Yeah, I'm sure 95 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.680 I told that storry at some point. But yeah, when I was almost 96 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.920 on Beauty and the Geek in like two thousand and three or whatever, one 97 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:40.879 of the things they had me do was like, oh can you can you 98 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.560 try to do a dance called the Running Man? And I knew vaguely up 99 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.920 so there is footage somewhere at some you know whoever made CBS or whatever headquarters 100 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.319 of me and a hotel room in Kansas City trying to do the Running Man. 101 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.800 Okay, well I need this. Is that on that video? It's 102 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.360 not on the audition. The video I put up on YouTube, the addition 103 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.959 tape that got me to the last They brought on eight dudes and I was 104 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.360 in the last sixteen and I almost got on the show. But yeah, 105 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.800 the footage is out there somewhere. Well appropriate that today's episode is eight o 106 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.399 eight and the heartbreak, because you know it was it was heartbreak for that 107 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.279 person to not wind up with Dan, you know, of course it was 108 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.279 their loss as as the beauty of the show. My mom was upset with 109 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.279 me because they asked as the trivia questions to see if I was enough of 110 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.240 a geek. They asked who won the Super Bowl the previous year, and 111 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.800 I was like, oh, yeah, the Patriots. Yeah I watched that 112 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.279 one. And my mom afterwards like, you shouldn't have said that. They're 113 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.920 gonna know, watching sports is in geeky you know what? Yeah, yeah, 114 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.920 yeah, I get it. I should I should I should have k 115 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.399 fad him. Yeah, only only swifties watch football now, Yeah, there's 116 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.879 nothing dirty about fantasy football. Those guys are super cool. Oh my god, 117 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.879 I okay, all right. I had to not participate in any leagues 118 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.680 this year because the homies just getting a little too toxic, little little too 119 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.759 much trash talk, a little a little too much coercion. I think actual 120 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.480 money is being exchanged for some trades now, and it's ridiculous. Wow. 121 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.560 Yeah, Wow, that's that's it. What's fantasy football? The number one 122 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.600 thing that if somebody is telling you about their fantasy football team, that no 123 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.879 one could possibly give a shit, Like I feel like I look on Instagram 124 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.079 and like the miss half his fucking post this time of year, or like, 125 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.079 oh, here's the screenshot of my guys at my points, and it's 126 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.600 like, I'm sure for you and your buddies that you do this with, 127 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.959 I'm sure this is fascinating conversation. But for anyone that's not in your fantasy 128 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.759 football league, could anyone possibly give a shit about how your fantasy team? 129 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.960 But other people will look so like I lost my matchup this week because I 130 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.159 didn't play like these two like Buffalo Bills and Mustard who people will know if 131 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.600 they play fan of fantasy football they'll know if I left those on the bench. 132 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.159 That's very painful. But that's it. If you have no other frame 133 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.559 of reference, I must sound like a crazy person, which is why I'm 134 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.480 like, I tweeted that, but I'm like, this is this is it. 135 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.399 I spent spin up my points for talking about fantasy football on social media. 136 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.399 I can't do that again for the rest of the year. So yeah, 137 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.159 that early in the season, huh. Yeah, I would rather hear 138 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.440 someone talk about crystals for an extended period of time, or talking in their 139 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.919 fantasy horoscope or yeah, yeah, if you would skip the final fantasy things 140 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.200 on take fantasy football stuff on TikTok and the final fantasy ones, but I 141 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.399 would watch a little bit of the crystal ones for sure. Yeah. I 142 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.879 just I mean, look, I think I do think there are people that 143 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.639 care me personally. I don't obviously, because I mean, I don't even 144 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.399 do fantasy hockey. I'm just not I'm just not into it, but care 145 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.519 about other people's fantasy. I hear all my I hear all my normy friends 146 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.519 going back and forth about like they're you know, but are they in the 147 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.279 same league together? No? Differently yes and no, uh, And like 148 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.480 like even last night, like Stacy does fantasy football with a bunch of her 149 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.720 girlfriends and yeah, and she was like showing our cousin the thing. He 150 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.080 was like he acted and I don't know if he was just being polite, 151 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.919 but he was like, oh, yeah, you've got this person who's fast. 152 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:01.639 That's good. Cool, you want to see mine? And they just 153 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.399 scroll through their their lists. It's you know, you you can understand people 154 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.120 liking a thing that you don't, right, well, yes, yes, 155 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.600 but no, I'm talking about right where it's like if someone comes up to 156 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.080 you and all they want to talk about is their fantasy football team, You're 157 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.000 gonna come away and be like, that's one of the most boring people. 158 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.279 But it's very different than like, look, I don't like sports in general, 159 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.120 but if people are talking about football or something, I'm not upset by 160 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.759 that because it's like, Okay, I understand this is a large thing that 161 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.279 millions of people enjoy. This is a thing people talk about. But when 162 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.559 it's somebody's fantasy team, it's like, Okay, they're like eight people that 163 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.600 care about this, right you know. I like I wanted to like if 164 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.440 I was like writing a character and I needed to illustrate that they were very 165 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.000 boring. I'd be like, this person's in six fantasy football leagues and it's 166 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.320 all they talk about. Like. That's the thing that I've noticed, though, 167 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:52.080 is that the homies that get super into fantasy football, I don't think 168 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.840 they actually enjoy watching football anymore. Many well they need to do it is 169 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.559 to make it fun. I think, yeah. I remember my brother didn't 170 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.080 really care. My oldest brother didn't really care about much about football, and 171 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.279 they start playing fantasy football and then that's all he cared about. It was 172 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.559 very strange. It's just it's just, you know, you're just sort of 173 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.039 like, uh, outsourcing your gambling. How do we do this for games 174 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.320 through a different means? You know? But there's there's fantasy critic. I 175 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.639 would do that. Mike Manotti's winning his fantasy critically. We could do that 176 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.039 for the next one. Would do that, Let's do that for twenty four 177 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:28.200 I would so like like predict metacritic. Predict metacritics. So you're at the 178 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.080 beginning of the year, you are going to draft a couple of games, 179 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.600 and then you counterpick someone else's game that you think is going to get a 180 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.720 battery coming in and then you have a budget of one hundred dollars and then 181 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.879 each week you can bid on other games. Why are we not doing this? 182 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.440 This is we can do it and we have. We could have updates 183 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:54.279 on it. Yes, I don't interesting it's all, but it's all on 184 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.120 the podcast and we established we do the draft and stuff on here, and 185 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.360 there might be some investing, like oh, okay, I think it gets 186 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.039 each other definitely. Yeah, and then we'll playing underneath it, you know, 187 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.279 as we talk about it, Chad says Dan will write bad reviews to 188 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.919 tank grubs picks. I totally could. That's what That would be the most 189 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.960 unprofessional thing possible, exactly, but I love it. Every time that comes 190 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.960 up we talk about that where it's like a mane fuck you over right now, 191 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.320 and it's like, of course, never ever ever would do that. 192 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:31.200 That would be it would be funny. There's something that got me on TikTok 193 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.679 or YouTube shorts whatever it was last night, this whole like, how many 194 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.480 times do you think about the Roman Empire? Okay, this is the thing. 195 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:45.320 I don't know what this is now. Okay, So people like women 196 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.399 are asking their their boyfriends and husbands how often do you think about the Roman 197 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.000 Empire, and many, many, many of them are being surprised to find 198 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.080 out that these guys think about the Roman Empire multiple times per week, some 199 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.399 of them multiple times. For these spartan fucking weirdos, I don't think about 200 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.960 it all that much. Come out glad came out like two thousands, Okay, 201 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.960 then I thought about Roman Empire in two thousands. I just feel like, 202 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.639 I mean, I am painting casting a wide net here, but like 203 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.720 I know, I know who we're talking about. Yeah, like listen, 204 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.440 I think, Okay, I think the last time I thought about the Roman 205 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.759 Empire probably was when I was on some hike and saw a big arch or 206 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.519 something, or maybe I was thinking about sewers and I'm like, oh, 207 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.279 yeah, that came from the Roman Empire. That's like once a year, 208 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.879 and these I literally never do because I don't really know anything about it and 209 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.240 I'm always confused. Like on Blake Club we were talking like I never know 210 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.559 what's work and what's chewed from that era, like you know, what's got 211 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.320 a war and what's real or what was Caesar or what was the only ad? 212 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.879 You know? Like, so I literally never think about the Roman Empire 213 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.399 yeah, I think that big part it is like I never had much of 214 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.879 interest. So I'm kind of with you Dan, where it's like I didn't 215 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.639 investigate it. I don't listen to these podcasts. I never I don't watch 216 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.799 the History Channel documentaries. Said, all these guys are referencing and stuff. 217 00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:58.480 I mean, I wouldn't gone to the Colosseum a lot if I lived back 218 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.720 then. Sure, sure, it's like we're garden, you know exactly. 219 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.720 That's like if you were visiting Rome, you would have gone No, no, 220 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.799 I would have gone back then. And whoever, like the Bruno she 221 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:09.799 Martino of the era was, I'd got a big mark. But yeah, 222 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.919 you know, okay, all right, I grub I'll walk it back a 223 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:22.080 bit. Whenever I see Roman reigns name recirculating or whatever, that's when I 224 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.399 think of the Roman Empire, the head of the table, you know, 225 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:30.639 the tan. Yeah, yes, Like what exactly is the context around like 226 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:35.919 people like thinking about ancient Rome, Like what is the There's a whole bunch 227 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.480 of different answers, But most of the time it's these guys that are You 228 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.840 might be surprised to find out that they're white and they're into the idea of 229 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.919 like cool empires and it didn't work out as well, and all the stuff 230 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.039 that they are capable of and that they invented, And I mean to be 231 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.159 fair, it's like, once you start like talking about it, I get 232 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.720 a little bit of the intrigue of Hey, like our entire form of government 233 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.000 comes from that time and and yeah, stuff like sewage systems were invented way 234 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.000 back when we were still using that. And it's like, yeah, like 235 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.039 keystones like thin well Man and the Stoics, like these things that people still 236 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.240 reference today. I get it. It's interesting, sure, yeah exactly, 237 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.320 but it's I'm like I pay more attention to like the American Revolution or the 238 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.440 Civil War and stuff like that that those were the and even that I'm not 239 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.639 thinking about that much stuff. What okay if you guys aren't thinking about the 240 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.159 Roman Empire once a week? Or do you guys have a topic that you 241 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.600 think your significant other would be surprised to think to find out that you think 242 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.120 about question? It's a great question because for me, it's like I don't 243 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:39.120 think it'd be surprised, But I think about interstellar travels space about that every 244 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:45.480 single days. That exactly, I think, Yeah, I kind of say 245 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:50.120 everything I'm thinking. So yeah, okay, questions about the Roman Empire someone 246 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.519 who are like genuine, like Novice or anything. One is that considered generally 247 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.879 like a good time? And two why did it fall? Okay? So 248 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:06.320 there, the Roman Empire is a massive, massive swath of time more than 249 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.440 Oka and this is the Caesar time. This was the part of it. 250 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.320 Part of it. Yeah, some bay See Cleopatra was part of that. 251 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.679 Because that confused the hell at me because I thought that was like pyramids and 252 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:22.080 stuff. Well Cleopatra is much more recent than you you would think, Oh 253 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.039 and she had some pyramids, But the Roman Empire was that massive that it 254 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.600 was in northern Africa. Wow. Okay, so that's why that confused me. 255 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.639 In that Assassin's Creed game where I was like, why the fuck are 256 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.320 there like Roman statues by the pyramids here? I didn't realize the relegate. 257 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.639 Yes a crossover like Jetson's Meet the Flintstones event, you know, Yes, 258 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.840 Okay, I mean I can't argue with the way you put it, but 259 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.159 yeah, it's it's generally good. So if you were a Roman, it 260 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.159 was very good. It would because they would like you would be protected by 261 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:55.360 this this this huge apparatus that was almost globe spanning at that time. If 262 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.200 you were anyone else, your culture was being decimated by the Roman Empire, 263 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.039 so that you could be I'm part of the Roman Empire. That's not so 264 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.200 hot. Why did it fall? There's a bunch of reasons. I mean, 265 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.920 I think it kind of just became the Catholic Church and didn't fall. 266 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.839 It just because like it's still everywhere, it's they still like did they still 267 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.359 have the same form of like government and stuff now? Like did that change? 268 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.359 Well? No, like that that part of Rome, the Roman Empire 269 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:23.720 has gone. Unless I'm no expert, but so people in change. Uh, 270 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.559 but like it's did they use the same form of government the Roman Empires? 271 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.559 Did it fall? When it? When it fell? Like did it 272 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.920 like did the fucking volcano destroy it all? Or like you know what what 273 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.200 when? What do they mean when they the fall of the Roman Empire? 274 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.039 Like was that when Caesar got sapped or whatever? There was Yeah, there's 275 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.319 a bunch of there was corruption in the government and it kind of it lost 276 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.799 it's it's sort of democratic ideals, and I think, like what's happening now? 277 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.319 Huh, Yeah, a little broad did it not? Right? Yeah? 278 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.119 Yeah, right. The big I think the big problem is when that 279 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.720 they didn't let Cody win and they would like kind of stir out that makes 280 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:03.640 anymore guys exactly? Sure. So the brutus the at two thing, like, 281 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.519 was that a shoot? Uh? For the most part, yes, 282 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.640 I mean obviously the play is dramaticized. The William Shakespeare played Julius Caesar dramatization 283 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.359 of that. But most of that stuff it's like Hamilton's happen. It's like 284 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.480 Hamilton of the time Hamilton. Yes, interesting, Okay, So it's a 285 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:25.039 dramaticized yes, yes, okay, that's a shoot. Yeah, that's based 286 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.039 on a work or a work based on a shoot. We're shooting. Oh 287 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:32.000 yeah, this is We'll welcome everybody to the Mini Minnesota back to School. 288 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.160 Uh, yes, right there, Jeff back Clark couldn't do it alone, 289 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:40.039 so we en listen. Thank you for the help. Yes. I came 290 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.759 across those files as I was like cleaning a hard drive yesterday, and I 291 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.759 looked fondly at them, and it was like, we should press these to 292 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:51.799 a DVD and just leave them in four K edition with directors commentary, just 293 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.279 me in the Corners, like it's like you and John Carpenter for some reason. 294 00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.960 Oh, hell yeah, let's go. He's just like the whole time, 295 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:02.720 he's like, no, how did I end up here? How did 296 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.519 I get here? Ridley Stop pops in for one of the episodes, like, 297 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:10.599 hell yeah, director of Gremlins too. Yeah, yes, Joe Dante, 298 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.720 Reddit Gerwig shows up. I just watched h mean box, just watched 299 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.640 Strange Days. Have you guys seen that Strange Not in a long time? 300 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.960 And I did. I do remember this. This was not streaming anywhere for 301 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:23.720 years and years, and it was like a big thing. So I'm you're 302 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.240 saying it's on Max the place to go for HBO, and now, yeah, 303 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.240 it's it's fascinating. It was made like ninety five, and it's very 304 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.000 like, very like cyberpunk. It was really interesting because it's it's predicting this 305 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.200 like cyberpunk future. It was a very like it was set in like the 306 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.400 late ninety nine, like hit twok type stuff or whatever, and like it's 307 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.440 basically cyberpunk brain dances and stuff, but it's the cyberpunk fiction before the internet 308 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.759 was really a thing. So no one's like downloading these brain dances or anything. 309 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.960 They're like putting like discs and defel bags and like you know, smuggling 310 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.880 them to people and stuff. It's kind of awesome. It's it's yeah, 311 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.680 I really enjoy it. Yeah, I love that little there was a lot 312 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.640 of that. I even think like, uh, you know, it's fun 313 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.440 to see sci fi that comes out of the time before like Wireless. Oh 314 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.240 yeah, Like I think like like and there's weird like retro future movies like 315 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.440 like like a Gattica, So we're like Gatica's like very sci fi but also 316 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:22.640 like but also just like very grounded in analog. Even a movie like uh, 317 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:27.559 Minority Report right, where like Minority Report is the way future, right, 318 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.519 it came out in like two thousand, two thousand and one and takes 319 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.119 place in like twenty fifty something. But they're still carrying around like big ass 320 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.559 discs and like bringing them over to things, and we're just like what stuff 321 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.559 like the personal life ads and stuff like as they're walking by those buildoards, 322 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.319 it's like detecting Tom Cruise's face the eye recognition. But there's a lot of 323 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.640 stuff. Honestly, that's like I think a lot of that stuff is like, 324 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.440 hey, can we do that because that looked cool and Minority Report, 325 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.880 like obviously it was always gonna happen, but I think a lot of Minority 326 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.440 Report was very influential, especially for like ui ux stuff. Yeah, it's 327 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.119 it's a good We watched a couple years ago and it really this star studded 328 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.839 and it was directed by Katherine Bigelow. Holy, oh strange, Jay's yea 329 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.920 strange. We're learning pretty quickly that we might be huge marks for Katherine Bigelow 330 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:17.839 because Point Break is one of our favorite movies of all time, and then 331 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.759 this movie ever made. I think which one? Point break Break is the 332 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.960 best movie you ever made. It's a perfect action, it's incredible, and 333 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.680 then we love this and now it's like I've never seen hurt Locker, Like 334 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.640 I want to go back through like the Catherine Bigelow is one of like the 335 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.720 war movies that I actually kind of like, Yeah, I could never be 336 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.720 in the mood for it again. Yeah she did zero at K thirty two, 337 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.119 like I do. I am kind of wanting to watch that again. 338 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.279 Uh. It always bumm me out how much they're like, no, yes, 339 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.359 torture did solve this, and we know very much the torture did not 340 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.960 help. But they're like, the movie's like, yeah, this torture rules, 341 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.720 it's getting involved this ship. But whatever, it's a fucking movie, 342 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.680 you understand. Watched Near Dark, Okay, I want to make a note 343 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.279 near that. Yeah, we definitely want to watch more of her stuff. 344 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.000 I've never seen that's yeah, I would totally when I watched more of her 345 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.119 stuff. Oho is in Strange Days, huh yeah. Two. The two 346 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:12.039 bad cops are Vincent Dinafrio and William Pickner, which recognize him. He was 347 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.400 like the sat guy and drive Anger. He's been in a million eighties and 348 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.559 nineties movie. He looks like the guy from The Bear if he was older. 349 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:23.000 Jeremy Allen White, Oh wow, yeah wow call that dude. Ye. 350 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.160 Yeah, they're the dirty cops in there. You know who. Catherine 351 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.799 Bigelow was married too briefly Cameron. Mister Cameron wrote strange Y Cameron wrote it 352 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.599 and she did it. Yeah, man, James Cameron is such a slut. 353 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.160 That dude married everybody. He's on five and it's all like actresses from 354 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.240 his movies. Right. It was like Linda, well, no, not 355 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.119 Katherine Bigelow, Linda Hamilton, the lady from Titanic. We were looking this 356 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.319 up. He's a giant nerd. He has no other way to meet women. 357 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.039 So fortunately it's gonna work. Yeah, but you have to like drown 358 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.759 them in the abyss and then marry them or whatever. Well, you're not 359 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.759 working anymore. So you like, I almost killed Ed Harris? Does that 360 00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.279 get you hot? Like a large actor? The last actor I would want 361 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.000 to piss off, I think. I mean, even at his age now, 362 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.160 I would, you would, especially out of me. Yeah, he 363 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.599 would love him, And you know what I would, I would just lay 364 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.200 there and understand of like, you're you're right, you right, You're mad, 365 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.519 you must be right, you must be right? All right? Speaking 366 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.839 about Ed Harris has nothing to do with any of the games we've we've been 367 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.680 playing, I believe. So let's talk about video games. I bet he 368 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:33.279 hates video games. I bet you know liken't look after playing him after Top 369 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.279 Gun Maverick, I feel like he'd do a voice in one. Sure, 370 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.920 And Harris wasn't top I don't remember him in Top Gun Maverick. He was 371 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.559 in the beginning. He's the general at the beginning. He doesn't when the 372 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:47.680 plane is flying over it. He really did that oh yeah, and you're 373 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.039 just sitting there like staring down a plane. You rule so much. Gotta 374 00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:56.400 love it. Harris, Yeah, I think I think Ed Harris would really 375 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.640 enjoy Party Animals, which is not a lot to say about this. We 376 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:06.480 play this last week on UPF a whole group of Party Animals playing this game. 377 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:10.960 If you've I think when we all saw the initial trailers for this, 378 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.400 we're like, oh, it's a good Gang Beast clone whatever. It's actually 379 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.359 pretty good. Your characters move around like drunk babies. Yeah, and also, 380 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.920 yeah, gang Beast clone, but like there haven't been a lot of 381 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.799 those in Gang Bast is really fun, so I'm not really mad at it. 382 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:26.480 And like there are really smart things, Like one of my favorite things 383 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.319 is when you get knocked out, instead of just watching the rest of the 384 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.240 match like a dope, you can just throw fish. Like there's a mini 385 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.160 game there where it's like it's charging up your coins and you can do two 386 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.599 coins for a fish, three coins for banana peel, and four coins for 387 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.000 a bomb, which is super smart because like if you just want to throw 388 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.880 a fish, you can just kind of spam it and it'll maybe if somebody's 389 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.759 hanging off of a thing and then get sit with fish. They'll die but 390 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:51.200 probably not, but early you have a better chance of getting that bomb, 391 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.279 so you can do even more havocs. So it's like reward for kind of 392 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.880 messing up early. It's nice. Yeah. It also controls a little bit 393 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.319 better than I remember Gang Beast controlling, because sometimes during Gang Beast I'd feel 394 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.519 like I'm pressing a button but nothing is actually happening. Yeah. Yeah, 395 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.880 you couldn't really tell. It's you know, it's still like a wonky deliberately 396 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.319 wonky where it's like, hey, I'm I'm I think I should have got 397 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:15.960 that punch, but it's like, no, you have to get it right 398 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.680 on them. And the whole point is to make you miss a lot, 399 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.480 because that's funny, and also it creates enough chaos that there's opportunities for kind 400 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.599 of anyone to win. I mean not in our game, and it was 401 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:30.039 me and Jan always won. But otherwise I think we think Blue Team of 402 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.880 Me and Bailey. The punches feel very floating stuff, but you can also 403 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.079 pick up weapons in this, so there were times where it's like I just 404 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:40.759 got a baseball bat and like Jan's duck is on the ground and I'm just 405 00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:44.400 beating the ship out of this duck with a bat and like that was connecting. 406 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:47.680 Yeah, I was so afraid anytime I saw you with a frying pan, 407 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.319 Dan, I'm like, Okay, it's on the other side of the 408 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.440 map. He's got a frying pan. So I just gotta keep distance keeping 409 00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:55.680 this because yeah, yeah, that's the other thing. This has like items 410 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.119 and weapons and stuff to use. And it's funny because you kind of have 411 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.440 to like scramble around to try and pick it up, and once you eventually 412 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.200 pick it up, you're gonna get haymaker in the face or drop kick. 413 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.920 It's almost a little power Stone in that way, you know, like it's 414 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:08.559 like, oh, yeah, I have this thing, you know, like 415 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.680 yeah, yeah, putting on a game like party game Powerstone, You're right, 416 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.599 yeah, and putting on a game pass super smart. Like I want 417 00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.480 to do I want to see what other like because we did two We did 418 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.119 eight people two v two v two v two, and I would like to 419 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.680 see what other permutations of that and we could do, you know, yeah, 420 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.559 absolutely, yeah. We we just did the two v two with the 421 00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.839 solo was there was what eight teams, four teams four teams, four teams, 422 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.720 and the week, so we could do it like every every person for 423 00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.440 themselves, we can do it with two teams of four, like they have 424 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.680 all of those options in there. Uh. And there was actually a surprising 425 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.920 number of stages. I think the stage environmental hazards, especially the black hole, 426 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:49.559 very good idea. That's like because it's at that point, yeah, 427 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.480 you're trying to knock other people out, but you're mostly just trying to survive, 428 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.400 and everyone be in the same situation where you're holding on to one another. 429 00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.920 And then I think one time, the black holes about the start, 430 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.480 and Mike had the chain, which is like the most anchored down thing you 431 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:04.559 can have for the black hole. Other things are just these big, heavy 432 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.319 objects that probably aren't going to get pulled in, and if you hold on 433 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.200 to them, they'll be outside the orbit of the center where if you fall 434 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.799 down in the middle, you're gonna die. But Mike had the chain, 435 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.759 and so I grab him, and then someone else grab me, and the 436 00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.480 black was about to start, and mike'side gonna be cheeky, he lets go, 437 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:22.599 So it's like, oh, now we're all gonna be screwed, and 438 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.559 then we're all scrambling trying to get back on the chain and he's laughing at 439 00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:29.640 us. It's like that those opportunities for are we working together right in this 440 00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.720 moment or are we not? That's a lot of fun. Yeah. Or 441 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:36.160 the boat again like power Stone and power Stone too, where the stage is 442 00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.720 moving and changing over time, where it's like you're on a big submarine at 443 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.079 first, and so there's all sorts of places to run around everything, and 444 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.200 then it starts sinking and sinking and tell it's like it's like the end of 445 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.400 Jaws where it's just like this tiny little thing you're like hanging onto a thing. 446 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:49.039 Is the boat sinks, it's like one of them spinning, so of 447 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:53.119 us proportions just spinning and everyone else's drowning. It's really good. I hope 448 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.599 with game Pass that this helps like the life span of this game, right 449 00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.799 and then just really like maybe we'll get DLC. These are the types of 450 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:07.400 games I think wrestling companies should go after. Yes, Wow, what a 451 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.640 good idea, right, Like can you imagine like yeah it with skins, 452 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:15.920 like let me be like uhh Roman rains just waddling around all guys fall guys 453 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.640 have like oscar An Undertaker and Woods and like, yes, that's uh yeah, 454 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:25.720 there we go. If WWE two K had a mode of this in 455 00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:29.319 it, Oh yeah yeah. Just make wrestling games more arcady, that's the 456 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:33.400 that's don't. We don't want fucking simulation sports games. That's not a lot 457 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.880 of people apparently do it so as well. But just give us the other 458 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.279 ones too, give us the r K ones well as well. That would 459 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.480 be great. But every time I tried that, it sucks too, Like 460 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.000 two K Battlegrounds sucked. You know. All Stars was getting there, but 461 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.480 the features, yeah, it was light on the features. Like the actual 462 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.279 like moment to moment fighting was pretty good. But yeah, yeah, I'm 463 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.759 I want to get back to party animals that I want to play more of 464 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:56.519 it. So I think we'll do it again on the site, give it 465 00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:59.799 a couple of weeks here, and maybe we'll do another upf for good. 466 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.920 Yeah yeah, uh moving on all right, Jents. I don't think I'm 467 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:11.039 I'm like really good at playing video games. I think I'm like mediocre at 468 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.480 best. One of our co workers regularly tells me I'm shit at video games. 469 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.000 Who says that? Is it Tam, No, it's not Tam. 470 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.799 It's not Tam Tam Tam is not No, it's not Lucy, It's it's 471 00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:30.160 it's Bailey. Yeah, she's she's Bully. Is it surprising and deeply surprising 472 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.799 you? That means you don't know what Bailey was? Uh? Anyway, 473 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.720 h I beat Lies of p which I don't understand how I did it. 474 00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:45.759 I did Wow. I had a free Saturday for once, and then yes, 475 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:53.000 I finally beat a game. Everyone video games, all right, sh 476 00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:59.119 uh. But I don't know how because I've seen some people struggling with it. 477 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.759 But I think I kind of just zoned in and just sat here at 478 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.160 my desk and like I just tuned into the puppet strings of the world and 479 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.039 and and went through it and beat it. And does anyone here on the 480 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.160 call right now care if I spoil the after credits? Absolutely? Absolutely? 481 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:19.519 Okay, alrighty folks, if you're watching live and the archive, uh, 482 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:26.599 spoilers for the very very last after credits scene. Uh for the next What 483 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.000 time is it? It's eleven, it's nine thirty five. I'll try and 484 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.200 end this by like nine thirty seven. Okay, all right, okay, 485 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:36.480 we'll keep it nine on the clock for you. So the game ends, 486 00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.079 and then like one of the people that you had interacted with is like on 487 00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.759 a train leaving saying like, hey, yeah, the experiment went. Wow, 488 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.759 like we're gonna we're gonna take care of this and everything. Don't worry, 489 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.759 but I'm gonna make sure that I find her. And then it cuts 490 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.279 to another scene of like the the city and someone is walking and guess who's 491 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:57.160 walking. It's a pair of red shoes. And then the red shoes keep 492 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:03.440 walking and then and then she stops. She clicks her heels three times. 493 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:10.640 And then I think it's supposed to imply that from the Wizard of Oz is 494 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.079 going to is somehow crossing over with this weird universe in lies of Pete And 495 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:22.759 wait, is that public domain? It has to be, right, yeah? 496 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.359 I also think like, well, yeah, I mean, I guess 497 00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:29.480 unless they they don't say Dorothy, right, they imply they imply. And 498 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.119 then and then I watched the after credit scene again, and then on the 499 00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:37.480 table is like the original cover of the Wizard of Oz book. That's cool. 500 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.000 I think that's cool. I like, I don't know that is cool? 501 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.920 Just a public domain that idea, You're like, what, okay, 502 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:53.920 So Pinocchio Winnie the Pooh, right, Mickey Mouse, No, no, 503 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.079 no, you want people, you want people to play it, Jeff, 504 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.160 No one cares out Steamboat will Okay, spoilers over, It's nine thirty seven 505 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:07.359 now, But like Jesus H. Christ, this is a very good game. 506 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.119 And I don't think I had if you have been itching for a Blood 507 00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:15.160 Born like equivalent, because it is so so heavily inspired by Blood Born very 508 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.160 much that. Yeah, the UI is like one for one. No, 509 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.160 yes, like it's insane. Yeah, Like I hit a wall with that, 510 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.759 and I just kind of bounced off. But like I mean, I'm 511 00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:29.200 like, like, well, if you're bad at video games, then I'm 512 00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.400 abysmal, right, So like I think you just have lower patients, right, 513 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.680 like like, yeah, you have other things to do. So yeah, 514 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:38.400 when you say lower you mean none so exactly, yes, yeah, 515 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:43.960 yeah, No, patience that's all it is. You know, how how 516 00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:47.200 long all in? Uh? Like I would I say, I spent the 517 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.440 whole day Saturday. I spent the whole day Saturday. Like, oh fuck 518 00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.799 me, silly Jane. I don't want to make it a cold hard calculation, 519 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.319 but where is this gonna like end up on your Game of the Year 520 00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:00.440 stuff. I want to know if I have to play this game or not 521 00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:05.559 want to play it. There's a lot of other stuff happening. See. 522 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.839 The thing is, I feel weird that I wound up liking this more than 523 00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:14.079 I wound up liking Armored Cores six. Yeah, and then but the thing 524 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.079 is, like, I'm also a big met guy as well. I don't 525 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.839 know. Maybe it's just the combat wound up clicking because it felt more familiar 526 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.359 with Lies of P versus Armored Cores six, right, and there's definitely walls 527 00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.599 in an Armored Core that I was like, I can't fucking do this. 528 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.640 I don't I don't care about these ravens or this this coral anymore, destroy 529 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.240 all the coral. But like with Lives of P, maybe it was a 530 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:43.519 combination of like it feeling like more blood born and then it being like tangentially 531 00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:49.720 disney Ish because of Pinocchio and everything. And I was like mildly uh intrigued 532 00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:54.119 by the story, very intrigued by the the after credit scene, but like 533 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:59.160 the story is like there's enough there where It's like, oh, okay, 534 00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:00.799 I see where you guys are going. It's not all the way there, 535 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:07.000 but like all right, Okay, I'll let you cook question. Yes, 536 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.039 do you think it's I mean, just based on what I played, I 537 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:14.519 think it is more accessible and not accessible, that's not the right word. 538 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:20.239 I think it's easier than uh blood Born, Yeah, yeah, I think 539 00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:25.079 it's it's easier than blood Born forgiving at the beginning from when I from when 540 00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:28.599 I've been watching people, I think I think you have to go back to 541 00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:32.159 it, like like blood Born, there's more souls bullshit of like, well 542 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:36.800 what the fuck, why why is this happening? But with Lives of p 543 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.719 it's like it'll do that and then okay, no, no, you can 544 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:44.840 you can easily figure out like all the patterns and etcetera, etcetera. Uh. 545 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:49.840 Something I'd suggest to people is when you are fighting high level or boss 546 00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:54.199 humans in the game or human like things, just use fire. Use fire 547 00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:59.360 for everything. Does it have that same invasion mechanic thing where people can It's 548 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:02.480 all a single p which is which makes it weird that you can't actually pause 549 00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:08.159 pause the game, so there's no messages from anyone else. There's no death 550 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:13.239 marks of where someone died or anything. There's like no Internet connectivity to the 551 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:15.880 game at all. Is it like if you save the game, does it 552 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:21.119 like is it like saved positionally or is it like check mark checkpoints. I 553 00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.679 don't send it back to like the little like a little star Gazer, like 554 00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:30.840 the Bonfire equivalent. Yeah. I love the design of the end, like 555 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.239 all the enemy stuff. Yeah, it just I kind of didn't like where 556 00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:38.320 it went into our four which is maybe like chapter three ish area. I 557 00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:43.360 didn't really like how you left the city for a little bit as you go 558 00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:49.320 back and then everything else it just goes back into like the gothic blood Borne 559 00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.719 ish stuff that I wanted, and I really enjoyed it with this game, 560 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:59.480 though, it's very, very very easy to get like the backstab on bosses 561 00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:02.239 that are similar to your size, So if you're having trouble in this game, 562 00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.599 use fire and then just like kite around them. It is so easy 563 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:13.079 to kite around them, and like I had to stop using the grappling hook 564 00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.639 arm that I was using, and I really like that, but fire and 565 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:25.280 electricity wound up being more important and more effective, more effective utility wise than 566 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:30.199 like shooting a grappling hook even though that I felt hella cool and yeah it 567 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.239 is. Game also throws a bunch of weapons at you two. So if 568 00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.079 you have something that you're not really clicking with, you can switch easily to 569 00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:43.199 a different thing. I am just excited about because you started this not that 570 00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.360 long ago and you just burned through it. So yeah, if you kind 571 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.320 of can't stop playing it, I'm always going to give it a shot. 572 00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.920 We'll see. Do you want to know how it runs on on the ally 573 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.199 or the Steam deck anything like that, because what were you playing on? 574 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:58.880 I didn't. I didn't actually try and try it on the Steam deck. 575 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:04.719 I should have tried it on the Steam but holy smokes, guys, Jesus 576 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.239 Christ, like I could never really nail the Perry windows. Also, if 577 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:12.480 you're having troubles with the Perry's, don't treat it like a tap for impact 578 00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:16.679 like Securo. Kind of treat it like a tap to hold for like you're 579 00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:21.960 bracing for an impact. And then that'll that helps with the Perry windows. 580 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:24.480 At least that's what I read online. And then I just wound up applying 581 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:28.639 that, and then maybe it was just like the mental thing going to that. 582 00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:30.840 I felt like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, I'm getting 583 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.599 it now. I'm getting it now, and then I just this game also 584 00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:39.880 rewards you for being aggressive because if you parry correctly or you block correctly, 585 00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:45.280 you get like the little bloodborne recover your health part of your meter, So 586 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:50.199 just keep slashing away. Also, just burn through your estis flask equivalents, 587 00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.880 because once you get to zero, you recharge them by hitting enemies, so 588 00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:59.199 you're you're kind of just incentivized to get in dad ass and with one of 589 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:02.079 the bosses, you avoid the front part of it, get in the butt. 590 00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:07.679 Yes, that's that sounds like a from game then, okay, grub 591 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:09.960 No. I remember trying to load it up on steam Deck and it wouldn't. 592 00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:13.920 It wouldn't work for me. I just wouldn't, would it would It 593 00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:16.920 wouldn't load initially launch like that happens in the early days of some of these 594 00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:20.559 games. Wonderful. I better it probably works now, I think I was. 595 00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:23.320 Also that was also like the the beta branch, so maybe it's sure 596 00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:27.760 right we always like I think sometimes it seems like developers just disabled that because 597 00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.039 they're not sure. They don't want you, they don't want you reviewing it 598 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:31.800 on there. I think that happens. Okay, all right, I'm gonna 599 00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.199 give it a shot. I I've been finding that if I'm able to play 600 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.239 stuff in the handout, so I'm much more likely to be playing them the 601 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:40.840 lasts because I hear you bring up the rock ally and steam Deck a lot. 602 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:44.800 But like, I know you you work from home. I'm curious about, 603 00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:46.480 Like, what is it about playing on those that, Like, you 604 00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.320 know, you have a nice TV setup and all that, why do you 605 00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:53.039 find yourself playing Oh damn, oh damn pooping. Yeah, I poop a 606 00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:59.280 lot. Well, yeah, but it's mostly that I'm down here on working 607 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.800 on the computer a lot, and I feel very guilty coming down away from 608 00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.480 my family to play continue playing games. And so far I can hang out 609 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:12.639 around them while playing games. Then I'm even like even when everyone's asleep, 610 00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:15.719 sometimes I'm like, I don't want to go get back on the computer, 611 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:17.000 get everything loaded up, even though it's nothing. It's nothing, but it's 612 00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:20.599 a small little mental block. I'm like, I get just lay here on 613 00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:22.840 the bean bag, get get this thing going, and that'll be great. 614 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.039 And then when I'm done, I could just hit the hit the power button 615 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:28.360 and it's gonna go into sleep mode and I don't have to worry about it. 616 00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.320 If I'm like in the middle of something because that little hypernation will save 617 00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.679 it. So it just fits with the way I like to play games a 618 00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:36.599 little bit better. I think I've always kind of liked handheld gaming a little 619 00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:38.960 bit better, but like stuff like Armored Core, I'm like, I played 620 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.440 almost all of that on the ally. Now I kind of want to finish 621 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.880 it on the PC. So there's still places for the PC and TV gaming 622 00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:49.320 for me, but personally handheld gaming fits better. That makes sense. Yeah, 623 00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.719 let me ask everyone a little question about steam Deck. Sure, I 624 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.719 use it a decent amount, especially when I was gone for a couple of 625 00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:00.880 weeks. I don't know if it's just me, but like turning this thing 626 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:05.159 on sometimes is a chore. Yeah, you find that sometimes it's just like 627 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.239 it's not not regularly using it, Like I'm like, oh, we gotta 628 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.920 push this update, or like, oh we gotta reboot reset everything. Even 629 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:15.719 now, I think I played this like four days ago. Oh that's what's 630 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:17.760 happening, right, Yeah, I don't know what's it doing? It just 631 00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:21.400 you like, I like I have to do one of those like really long 632 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:27.360 power button holed downs. Oh and the like could be temperamental, yes, 633 00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:30.440 that and the ally And I don't know what that is, Like, what's 634 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:34.000 happening? I could? You know? I think because compared to the switch, 635 00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.119 the switch is was built from the ground up to to be this thing, 636 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.119 this handheld, so it like I think they prioritized going to sleep and 637 00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:44.519 waking up from sleep, Like people are gonna do that a lot. We 638 00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.280 need to make sure that always works. And with with the steam Deck and 639 00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:52.760 especially with the Ally, they are working with Windows and a branch of Linux, 640 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:54.440 and they're like, we're going to kind of be able to make these 641 00:40:54.679 --> 00:41:00.199 operating systems do that, even though they don't really love doing that. It's 642 00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.239 not the way like they can kind of do it okay with with with laptops, 643 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:06.000 but on laptops, every time you open it up, it's like you're 644 00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.159 gonna put your thumb on this thing to unlock it or whatever, and it's 645 00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:10.079 like, well, we don't really want that, or if we do have 646 00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:15.199 that, we're gonna minimize it or whatever. So I think they're kind of 647 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.480 just faking that thing instead of building it from the ground up. And that's 648 00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:24.320 that's probably and sometimes and I do think the battery drains way more. Yeah, 649 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:30.440 suspending, Oh you know, definitely, last thing I'll say about lives 650 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:36.440 of p another tip you will get ergo or like whatever the soul's equivalent is, 651 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:38.599 like that that you use to gain a bunch of souls. Uh, 652 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:45.440 never spend the ones that you get from bosses. Save those because I made 653 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:51.760 the mistake of just burning through those really early in the game, just so 654 00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.679 I can just level up faster. And I did level up faster, but 655 00:41:55.719 --> 00:42:00.639 then I missed out on a couple very very critical items that would have these 656 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:06.719 even these like big collections of souls essentially. Okay, okay, or is 657 00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:08.280 it like you could it's like an Elden ring where it's like the remembrance you 658 00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:13.280 could sell or you can get this whip thing or whatever. Yeah right, 659 00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.480 okay, yep, yep uh. I forgot that aspect of souls games. 660 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:22.480 And I was kicking myself in the shins because I didn't see you beat. 661 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:28.039 There was a point where I just like stayed in a place, just reset 662 00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.920 and just grind it away. I'm sorry for the souls veterans out there that 663 00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.800 I didn't pay attention to that. But speaking about that, you saying that 664 00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:39.960 you grind grinded away, like that's gonna make them happy too, because that's 665 00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:45.079 what they do as well. Oh, I'll grind away, grind away you 666 00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:49.880 sick perverts out there. Uh. Speaking about the Roger Ally and the steam 667 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.440 deck, Jeff Grub, you had a second wind in Starfield thanks to the 668 00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:57.639 Roger Ally. Yeah. The game runs surprisingly well on the Ally. I'm 669 00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:01.159 like shocked how well it runs. Uh. I had to update the drivers, 670 00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:05.039 which was weird. You got to go to the my Asus app on 671 00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:08.039 the Ally and then download the drivers there and they're like, where do you 672 00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:10.480 want to save these drivers? I'm like, idiot, I don't want to 673 00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:14.039 save these drivers, just fucking install them. But I'm like, yeah, 674 00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:16.800 death save them and then install them yourself. It was stupid, but I 675 00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:21.320 got I got an updated right there in the drivers it says support for Starfield. 676 00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:22.880 I'm like, okay, well give it a shot. It's probably not 677 00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:25.840 gonna be great. I have my Ally set the seven twenty because I don't 678 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:29.239 really notice the difference between ten eight and seven twenty. I do a little 679 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.760 bit screen, right, small screen. Yeah, So I'm like, that's 680 00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:37.920 that's gonna help a lot. And then what the game has FSR two, 681 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:42.719 which is AMD's uprising stuff. And really what it does is it runs the 682 00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:45.119 game at a lower resolution and then tries to upscale it at seven twenty P. 683 00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:50.159 It's gonna default to fifty percent resolution scale, and that looks like booty. 684 00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:53.239 That looks like trash because it's basically running at three sixtyp at that point 685 00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:57.480 and then upscaling. But I found if I do it at like ninety percent, 686 00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:00.639 so that's like what six forty eight P, it looks pretty sharp. 687 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:06.360 And it runs between thirty and sixty frames per second pretty consistently, and honestly 688 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:08.360 above forty to fifty frames per second most of the time. So it's a 689 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:13.360 really smooth experience. And now I'm playing the game a ton again. I'm 690 00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:15.760 like picking up my ally all the time I turn it on. It takes 691 00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:20.000 a second to start because it's a stupid Windows machine, but it does, 692 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.039 and then I'm back in the game and I'm going through missions and having a 693 00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:27.360 pretty decent time. It's I think the game is a better served as something 694 00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.000 that like I'm playing in these little handheld chunks and when I'm like, I'm 695 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:34.760 going to sit down and trying to make a night of playing Starfield like that 696 00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.320 worked early on. I had some good four five hour sessions. But now 697 00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:39.800 as I'm trying to clean some stuff up before I go to beat the game, 698 00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:42.920 this is working really well for me, and I'm like, yeah, 699 00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.840 I'm fully back in the starfield now because of this. It is a game 700 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:52.639 that is definitely it looks out of place when you compare it to just about 701 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.159 anything else that's coming out, and yet as a Potesta game, I'm like, 702 00:44:55.239 --> 00:45:00.039 it's still mostly doing what I want. Obviously, the exploration, I 703 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:05.400 think it's just not good. It's just not It's such a turnoff to like 704 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:07.719 land on a planet and be like, Okay, there's a point of interest. 705 00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:12.719 How far away you wait to walk for five fucking minutes? Are you 706 00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:15.239 crazy? And they are They're crazy, and that's and that's bad. It's 707 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:19.079 just straight up bad. You got to you gotta kind of go get through 708 00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.039 that pain and then just use fast travel as much as possible. And I 709 00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:25.079 honestly they need to update the game and do something about that, I think 710 00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:30.320 over the years to kind of keep this game relevant. Yeah, I've been 711 00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:34.559 thinking about this last couple days. I've been thinking about this a lot because 712 00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.239 I'm playing. You say, it looks odd compared to other games that are 713 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:40.239 coming out or are out. Also Cyberpunk Yeah, you know, technically came 714 00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:43.280 out a few years ago, and I know it've got this huge update, 715 00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:46.840 but I've been playing that and it feels so much more like I'd never fast 716 00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:50.079 travel in that game. You know, it's just fun to get around. 717 00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:52.880 There's a lot of interesting things that just kind of pop up from place to 718 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.400 place. I feel like I'm exploring this like living world, and and there's 719 00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:58.679 not it's not broken up by a million load screens and stuff. Even when 720 00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:00.559 I go into interiors a lot of the time. It's crazy to me that, 721 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:05.519 like Starfield just came out in this game that originally launched a few years 722 00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.159 ago, feels so much more modern in every way to think about. Like 723 00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:10.800 I just had the scene with you know, Indris Elba and the President and 724 00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:15.239 stuff, and just watching the way everything's like kind of like lovingly animated, 725 00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:16.960 and it's very just kind of like moody and cinematic, and it's just this 726 00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:22.800 conversation versus every conversation in starfielder's like okay, Zoom and Sarah Morgan face at 727 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.280 the Constellation place, it's like, oh, how about that artifact? You 728 00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.719 know, it's it's that was that was the criticism about Cyberpunk, Right, 729 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.800 took it out of the oven a little too soon, you know, little 730 00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:38.159 inside Right, it's good, It's it's really good. Now let's start talking 731 00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:43.880 about Cyberpunk because I fired that up for the first time. Uh oh really 732 00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:47.679 yeah, and Grub, I hate that you you've been mentioning is there a 733 00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:51.519 flashlight in this game? Is there a flashlight in this game? Because I 734 00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:54.800 could really use a fucking flashlight. Yeah. There, Like I upgrades because 735 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:59.079 you get like cybernetic eye upgrades the seat. I mean, when you hold 736 00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:01.840 in the LB, it kind of helps with just like seeing interests and interactable 737 00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:05.039 things, but like not just getting through. There's a lot of going through 738 00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:08.039 like dark buildings and Dogtown and tunnels and stuff like that. So I don't 739 00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:12.199 know, it's just like an HDR calibration thing, but it is definitely dark. 740 00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:15.199 Oh you know, maybe that's what I gotta do because when I was 741 00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:19.920 watching the quick look now on the site that Grub that you did with Lucy, 742 00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.079 our game looks completely different than my give. So maybe I gotta fuss 743 00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:29.119 with the HDR here. Uh but yo, this shit is this it's good. 744 00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:31.920 This it's great. Yes, did y'all know this? The cyberpunk is 745 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:35.480 good? Turns out, I'm just learning it. Yeah, Like I'm not 746 00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.719 even I'm nowhere near the phantom liberty stuff, right, but like the base 747 00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:43.159 game now it's like, oh shit, I'm just putting this out there. 748 00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:47.039 So like this does qualify it for like a Game of the year sort of 749 00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:53.679 like a thing? Absolutely? Yes, Yeah, I'm just wondering. Cool. 750 00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:57.920 Yeah, well the hell thin grenades on cool down? Was that always 751 00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:00.360 a thing in the game, because like I don't because I ever time I 752 00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:01.679 use health and grenades. Now I'm like, this is great. I'm just 753 00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:06.320 actually using then them because I'm not worried about going through a stash grenades or 754 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:08.320 like I remember in Starfield, I was constantly looking for medpacks and stuff like 755 00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:13.320 that. Yeah. Yeah, cool downs for both are awesome. Like I 756 00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.800 love that. I don't remember that originally being in the game. No, 757 00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.199 it wasn't so that everyone in chat saying they were consumables originally. So that's 758 00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:21.639 a new thing that they've changed, and it makes it so you could be 759 00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:23.280 much more aggressive in combat, right, you can just go for it. 760 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:29.039 Yeah, and and and that's that's like I think the changes that are really 761 00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:31.599 big here are that combat is more fun and you can't get more aggressive. 762 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:37.000 They've reworked the RPG systems. Your character building is much more interesting. You 763 00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:40.480 can really spec out your character to be a really cool net runner. Now 764 00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:44.840 there's other parts of the Blade stuff, the Shinobi stuff, and like the 765 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:47.599 Blade combat I never really did the first time, and now like dashing around 766 00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.400 would be and uh, it does that smart thing where it's like as you 767 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:53.559 use stuff, you're leveling up. Like I always loved that in the Oblivion 768 00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:55.679 where it's like I'm jumping more and I'm getting more of this, But it 769 00:48:55.719 --> 00:49:00.199 doesn't explicitly tell you on that attribute screen or that perk screen that like, 770 00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:02.719 oh, so you're not just like doing stupid stuff just to level up. 771 00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:06.280 But if I do a fight where I'm really doing a bunch of mantis played 772 00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:07.519 stuff and at the end it's like, oh you're Shinobi went up this far, 773 00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:09.000 it's like, oh, okay, cool, Yeah, I was using 774 00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:12.639 that, so I leveled that up. Like that. That's where it's at 775 00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.840 its best. And it's especially like because like it's not a sandbox game, 776 00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:17.079 You're not going to be doing a lot of like going around the world and 777 00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:22.000 just having stuff happen. But once you're in combat, then it is kind 778 00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:23.760 of a sandbox game because you can like decide how you want to attack anything, 779 00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:29.000 and there's a bunch of different ways to do it. So I'm I'm 780 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:32.679 pretty happy with this game now. It's not I'm still kind of harbor like 781 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:36.559 a little bit of a grudge that it's not what they promised originally. Sure, 782 00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:38.920 but what they have now is a very fun, very solid game that's 783 00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:44.199 easy to recommend and easy to have a good time with, especially because it's 784 00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.440 so immersive, like it's it looks so good, it's so well animated, 785 00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:50.679 all these things, and then I kind of don't care that the basketball game 786 00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:52.480 that's happening over there, it's just like this little vignette, a little scene 787 00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.440 that's no it contributes to the overall thing that they're going for in a really 788 00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:00.400 positive way. Yeah, you know, I I told y'all that I expect 789 00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:05.280 my character, specifically in Starfield, to just do nothing but punch people, 790 00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:08.400 because you know, they showed that off during Summer game Fest, and it 791 00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:14.159 never felt really satisfying and it felt more like a chore too. And I 792 00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:17.519 realized I fully realized that I'm making the game harder by only wanting to punch 793 00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:22.360 people. But Dan, you said it perfectly. With the Shinobi skills and 794 00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:27.079 the blade skills, like here, I you could get through a lot of 795 00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.039 it purely melee. If like, you're just dashing around a lot and just 796 00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:34.719 increasing those skills, like and themobile thing you get. You throw that on 797 00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.480 RB and I listen, he's disappearing for a few seconds, pop up blades. 798 00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:40.719 Someone like feels great. Yeah, yep, man, I finally understand 799 00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:46.719 why people really like cyberpunk and Fantom. Liberty itself is is very cool. 800 00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:50.840 I've played a little bit more of it since that quick look, and it 801 00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.800 is a spy thriller. It is political intrigue, cool characters, eat your 802 00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:57.920 elbows, very cool. Coolest president I've seen it in a game. I 803 00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:02.360 think solid snakes. Keith David. What about Keith David. Keith David's also 804 00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:05.800 great. I got to him yet wow. Oh no, no, Keith 805 00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.519 David and uh saints bro oh oh I thought even this. I was like, 806 00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:12.920 oh, see Keith David. I love Keith David in every game. 807 00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:15.360 Yeah, that president is I have a crush on her, and I don't 808 00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:20.400 think she's romancible, So I'm pretty disappointed by That's very cool, yes, 809 00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:25.800 uh grub so is Phantom Liberty. Like it's a whole different campaign, right, 810 00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:30.000 Like can you access from the very beginning a minisequel? It's like it's 811 00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:32.480 like twenty it's like twenty hours or something like that. Uh, and you 812 00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.159 can. I guess you can start the game and go right into it because 813 00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:37.840 I just picked up my say from the end of the of the game and 814 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:42.880 then drove over there because it was open for me. If you don't start 815 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:45.079 in Phantom Liberty with a new character and you go down them, because that's 816 00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:47.519 what you're doing gen right, you're playing the main main campaign, I guess 817 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:52.880 you're gonna be like eight to ten hours before that opens up to you or 818 00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:57.159 something like that. So yeah, I'm I'm really enjoying everything, and I 819 00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.679 think I'm happy for the studio to for the game finally to be where they 820 00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:07.039 wanted it. But how when did Cyberpunk originally release? Yeah? Damn wow, 821 00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:13.440 someone said in chats, not early out of early access there it is. 822 00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:17.760 It's definitely Yeah. With the game that is out now like two point 823 00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:22.519 zero, Phantom Liberty do you see. Would you want a multiplayer version of 824 00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:27.360 this now or just keep it contained to what it is. I don't like 825 00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.119 a multiplayer game to me. They canceled that project they were working on that 826 00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:32.679 I don't I do not think it's worth it to go back to that. 827 00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:37.719 Okay, alright, alright, you know what I have a problem with with 828 00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:42.840 cyberpunk stuff? Though? Not enough witches, not enough witchcraft, grub. 829 00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:46.400 Is there witchcraft and witch fire? Yes, there's witchcraft and witch fire. 830 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:52.960 It is uh. This is a new early access game available on Epic Game 831 00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:58.800 Store right now. It is a first person shooter Rogue Light. That is, 832 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.480 it does very much remind me of Hades, where you are starting out 833 00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.039 and you have all these things you could begin working towards to unlock more weapons, 834 00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:10.079 to unlock magics, all all these things, and but then it just 835 00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:13.519 feels cool. You have this map that you're going to go into, and 836 00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:15.920 there's a bunch of maps, but right now I'm on like the starter map, 837 00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:20.159 and you go into the starter map and it shows you immediately like the 838 00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:22.519 I don't think the map itself changes, but the placement of the enemies change 839 00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:25.440 and they'll be like a skull, a skull with horns, a skull with 840 00:53:25.480 --> 00:53:29.519 like really big horns, and it's like those tell you this is a dangerous 841 00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:31.960 area, a very dangerous area, and an extremely dangerous area, and what 842 00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:36.079 you want to do is kind of like start poking at those dangerous areas try 843 00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:37.719 to get through there, because if you clear out that area, you will 844 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:43.199 get a bunch of which fire, which is like this basically the currency you 845 00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:45.480 can spin to upgrade all your stuff and unlock more of the skill tree. 846 00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:52.599 It also gives you a selection of options to improve your build, and it's 847 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:54.039 going to be randomized. It's like, oh, your electric boats will be 848 00:53:54.119 --> 00:53:57.159 more powerful, and I'm like, well, I don't have electric boats yet, 849 00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:00.679 so I'll take this one that makes enemies weaker or something like that. 850 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:02.119 And there's this whole long list of like, oh, if if I clear 851 00:54:02.199 --> 00:54:06.440 up this entire map, i cant have a very very powerful character by the 852 00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:08.679 end, And so far I'm only getting like three or four of these camps 853 00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:13.719 cleared out. But it's like it's each build and each each run is feeling 854 00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:17.800 very different from from the last one because I'm getting all these random perks that 855 00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:21.119 I can add to my character, and it's like, man, this, 856 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:24.599 I'm god, what's such a strong design of rogue lights? Put it? 857 00:54:24.679 --> 00:54:28.559 Putting that together with something that feels as good to play as a really strong 858 00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:30.840 first person shooter. I'm having a really good time with this. It is 859 00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:35.360 a surprisingly great game. I think it looks really good. It's not like 860 00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:37.880 holding back anything. It looks like a triple A video game. Yeah, 861 00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:40.360 I'm having a very good time with it. I mean, does it feel 862 00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:44.360 like, you know, a rogue light made by the people who made or 863 00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:46.480 a painkiller and bullet storm. Yeahs, I know you said that it's not 864 00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:50.719 the same studio, right, because it's not people people from people can fly. 865 00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:52.880 Okay, yes, it definitely feels like that, Yes, if it 866 00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:59.760 feels like very much, yes, And you know it's kind of a dash 867 00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:01.599 move and stuff like that, and you're going up against a lot of dudes 868 00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:06.239 with like you know, they got a pitchforks, and then there's archers, 869 00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:07.639 and you know it's easy to dodge that. And then all of a sudden, 870 00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:10.559 you're like, that's a swordsman and he can leap like from fifty yards 871 00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:15.000 away and attack you from anywhere. So you're like trying to time your dodges 872 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:17.760 on that and all that stuff feels very cool, but it's like I can 873 00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:21.840 already feel myself getting into the grind of all right, I made it a 874 00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:22.840 little bit further. I made it a little bit further. Let's go back 875 00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:25.679 to the base. Let's see what I can upgrade with all this currency. 876 00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:30.679 You know, obviously it's like, okay, you are. You come out 877 00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:32.760 of this portal and if you want, you can just retreat back through that 878 00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:36.400 portal. But that's going to close over after so long. So it's like 879 00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:39.079 this risk reward of do I keep pushing into the world where it's going to 880 00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:42.800 get more and more dangerous, or do I take the little I got and 881 00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.840 go back out that portal? And so far I'm like no, I'm gonna 882 00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:46.960 keep going because I want to keep building up this character and see what I 883 00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:50.320 could do. And I'm dying about half the time, and half the time 884 00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:53.639 I'm finding another portal deeper into the world that I can unlock if I standing 885 00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:57.519 by it for thirty seconds and usually fighting off a wave of enemies. And 886 00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:00.719 so I'm not getting through this place yet, Like where there's this which at 887 00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:04.679 the end of this map, I haven't taken her out yet, but I 888 00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:07.320 am like getting further and further each time, sometimes finding the portal, sometimes 889 00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:10.960 taking the currency back and upgrading, uh, you know, either improving my 890 00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:15.760 weapons or unlocking a new weapon. And usually that'spect through research in this book, 891 00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:17.880 where I'm like, hey, I'm going to oh, let's research shotguns 892 00:56:19.159 --> 00:56:22.960 or let's research improvements for you know, double tapping the gun or something like 893 00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:25.760 that. It's very very cool. I'm just unlocking magic. Now I can 894 00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:29.519 start doing a little bit of fire. So yeah, a lot of cool 895 00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:32.239 stuff happening in this game. I'm very into it. Nice. Yeah, 896 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:37.320 for whatever reason, I like this genre video game. I don't know what 897 00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:44.480 it is. I have a difficult time speaking the same language as it talk 898 00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:47.280 about rogue lights. Yeah, Like I just you know, and I think 899 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:50.960 it's a me issue, right, Like, I just don't think I have 900 00:56:51.039 --> 00:56:54.280 it explained out to me concisely enough where I'm like, oh, okay, 901 00:56:54.519 --> 00:56:57.880 now I know what I'm gonna try and do, right. I got to 902 00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:00.440 the like, I'm just like, this is a lot of skeleton men for 903 00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.000 just me and my gun. Yeah, I don't think that's gonna work out. 904 00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:08.719 And I don't know. I like, but now that hearing you talk 905 00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:13.000 about it that way, like obviously, in hindsight, it makes a lot 906 00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:15.440 more sense. Did you ever did you play Hades? Yeah? I did, 907 00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:20.440 but I didn't. Yes, I see, but you know what it 908 00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:22.800 is, dude, Like, yes, I know how Hades works, and 909 00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:24.280 I know the loop there and I know what I have to do. My 910 00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:28.960 brain just could not take the transitive approach and be like, oh, it 911 00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:32.519 just applies to this as well, with different sort of dressing, prospective and 912 00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:36.760 the whole thing. So I think the game does present itself a little bit 913 00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:39.239 like oh, yeah, this would be something you're gonna have progression in that 914 00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:43.039 it's going to be very persistent where it's like I did that thing, so 915 00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:45.719 I have that thing. It's like once you realize the first time you're gonna 916 00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:49.280 lose it, it's like, okay, so what is happening here? You 917 00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:52.119 do have to kind of explore that that hub world a little bit and see 918 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:55.360 what all those things are inside the church and the little character of it, 919 00:57:57.000 --> 00:58:00.519 Like Okay, I see like Ie going to activate the research for this thing, 920 00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:02.719 and it's what it's gonna be, like, Okay, come back later 921 00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:05.480 because that research is gonna be done it's like, Okay, well now it's 922 00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:07.360 time to go on a run and try to see what I can accomplish. 923 00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:09.679 And if I don't accomplish anything, I come back, well I did accomplish 924 00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:13.840 something because now the research is done. So it's like all these like parts 925 00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:16.599 working in conjunction to make it feel like you're making progress in these other ways 926 00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:22.840 in spurts here and there. So sometimes I would be okay if a game 927 00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:27.960 over explained itself, that's fine, just you know, keeping these games are 928 00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.559 like afraid to do that because they think they think part of the fun is 929 00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:35.679 you sing these discoveries yourself. But what's the balance there? I agree? 930 00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:37.519 I mean it's early access. I bet some of that stuff changes, and 931 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:43.119 I'm very self aware that, like I want more than average I would imagine, 932 00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:47.840 compared to the average Joe. But it only the spark only lights in 933 00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:52.039 my brain after I die so needlessly the first time where I'm just like that 934 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:55.960 was fucking really hard in a minute, is this one of those things? 935 00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:00.960 And then the cycle sort of like plays out. So yeah, it's dope, 936 00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:05.960 and I love how it looks. I'm all about the vibe this game 937 00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:08.159 has. Is U is very much my shit. So yeah, you're just 938 00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:12.800 like this witch hunter and stuff like that. I like this spooky. It's 939 00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:15.159 I did have one run where it's like, we're gonna put the extremely hard 940 00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:19.079 thing here basically right outside the portal and force you to fight it. And 941 00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:21.679 it's like, Okay, now I know what I'm up against. I've had 942 00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:24.960 real no chance of surviving like the fourth or fifth wave of these very powerful 943 00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:28.599 enemies. But it's like, okay, I kind of have an idea now, 944 00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:30.840 and that's a goal to work towards, is be able to survive that 945 00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:37.039 scenario. You know what. I feel like roguelikes and the Souls genre have 946 00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:42.039 killed for me. Trope Wise and video games the boss fight that you're supposed 947 00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:45.760 to lose. Yeah, because sometimes I'll walk up to a boss fight. 948 00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:47.639 This happened a lot of lies if people like, yeah, maybe I'm just 949 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:53.480 supposed to lose this hard and then I never loved that. Yeah, Like, 950 00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:55.239 uh, I think if you're gonna do it, do it at the 951 00:59:55.280 --> 00:59:59.599 very beginning of the game. Yes, yes, do it. Don't allow 952 00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:04.519 you don't don't make it possible to use items if you're like desperately trying to 953 01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:07.199 heal yourself and then you lose and you come back and like you actually don't 954 01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:09.880 have that ship. Yeah, if it's an exposition tool, it's almost always 955 01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:15.639 like you just it's impossible. It's like it's it's impenetrable, right, like 956 01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:20.039 uh, but yeah, like what was that one? It was like a 957 01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:23.840 DMC or mean something like that, like someone was, uh, somebody was 958 01:00:23.880 --> 01:00:28.079 like figure out a way to cheese it right at the beginning or something like 959 01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:30.920 that. Like Virgil. There's a Virgil fight in DMC. It's something like 960 01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:34.239 that, is that? Yeah? Yeah? Oh, I was thinking DMC 961 01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:39.440 five with like the big dude with like the oh yeah, five's weird. 962 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:43.920 Yeah, there are parts of five that I liked. I like, it's 963 01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:46.920 fine. I don't like that v guy. Oh, I was gonna Sarah 964 01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:52.719 like that he walked around in sandals and read poetry. That guy, No 965 01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:55.800 thanks. Familiarity breeds contempt. It's just to here re minds you of you 966 01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:59.400 so much, Dan, And I guess that's probably the problem man, right 967 01:00:59.519 --> 01:01:02.280 right, yeah, yeah, So I'm gonna I'm gonna before you before you 968 01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:06.599 get to the last one, can I chime in please? I'm gonna fucked 969 01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:10.599 up spot right now. Guys. Oh, dude, what's wrong. We 970 01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:21.360 handed down a pretty aggressive punishment to my son. Oh and no roadblocks for 971 01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:27.840 a year. You deleted Tears of the Kingdom. No, but he's not 972 01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:32.360 allowed to play games for two weeks. What happens? That means being a 973 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:37.440 piece of shah. That happens. What do he do now? It was 974 01:01:37.719 --> 01:01:39.320 it was like right when we got back from from the break whatever, it's 975 01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:44.440 almost over, and we're like we like, of course, leave it to 976 01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:46.639 me to like gamify his punishment where I'm like, I have this chart where 977 01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:51.199 I'm like, now, look, you can actually earn you could earn days 978 01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:55.320 back if you do this and go on this collection quest. But he, 979 01:01:55.599 --> 01:01:59.519 uh, he can't play games. And I realized, like, oh, 980 01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:02.000 I looked up in a major way because now I can't play Zelda with him 981 01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:07.000 and play without him. That's part of the punishment. I played myself is 982 01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:14.360 really what I did here. I worked myself into a shoot. No, 983 01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:22.360 I shot myself into a work. Actually, no one understands, and it 984 01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:24.239 just sucks like I fucked up. And I just want to talk to you 985 01:02:24.280 --> 01:02:28.119 about it because like that's you're my friends, and I feel like it's a 986 01:02:28.119 --> 01:02:30.280 safe space to do that, and you never considered telling him, I'm gonna 987 01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:34.400 go play Zelda without you. No, I can't. I'm not a monster. 988 01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:37.960 Manunder punishments for a reason. Man, you gotta make him regret it. 989 01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:45.400 He really, Jeffer, he definitely regrets it. He's you know, 990 01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:49.719 and he's been very he's been good and he's very aware of what's happening. 991 01:02:49.719 --> 01:02:52.320 And I'm not gonna lie just throwing this out there too. Take your kid 992 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:58.639 off screens for like five days, and it's better. It's just like an 993 01:02:58.639 --> 01:03:01.840 empirically better. I'm not saying what's the improvement there, I'm curious. He's 994 01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:07.480 just more interesting, Like he's just he's just better. You like him more, 995 01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:08.960 is what you're saying. Like like a dinner, you know, sometimes 996 01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:13.719 we would like throw on like a regular show or something like that, and 997 01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:15.719 like, you know, I want to watch regular show too, because we're 998 01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:19.119 in the last season. We're finally seeing where the the Tree Planet spaceship goes, 999 01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:23.719 and I just it's just fun like being with him, you know, 1000 01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:28.760 like there's more time obviously this thing. And the correct answer is the balance, 1001 01:03:28.880 --> 01:03:30.719 right, Like, the correct answer is finding the balance. So we've 1002 01:03:31.239 --> 01:03:37.440 just drifted into one extremity. Uh, but yeah, he's you know, 1003 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:40.960 he's just seems like he's just like a better well rounded, sort of adjusted 1004 01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:45.119 person. When he's reading books or something, he's like, yeah, he's 1005 01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:51.199 I'm walking around and sandals reading poetry. Yeah, he's wearing as the Rocks 1006 01:03:51.239 --> 01:03:53.559 and Fall the Roman Empire just to sit on a shelf there. Yeah, 1007 01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:58.719 you know, smoking a bubble. It's like, you know, it's cool. 1008 01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:00.920 He's like got it all together there. I think like, uh yeah, 1009 01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:03.880 I think, well he has reading assignments for school now, but like, 1010 01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:06.960 yeah, I just think there's you know, it just opened up things 1011 01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:09.960 to Stas and I were just like, oh wow, you know what, 1012 01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:13.039 like turns out you and I working so much in him. You know, 1013 01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:16.559 it's it's a it's let's find a better balance moving forward. But yeah, 1014 01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:20.159 the bottom line is I fucked my fuck myself with this Zelda situation. I 1015 01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:24.199 want to get back to playing that, and I'm just I can't till like 1016 01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:28.559 maybe Friday. So all right, well that's fine. Good luck just came 1017 01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:31.360 out. Yeah. Yeah, look, I'm taking my time with it. 1018 01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:35.280 Okay, you know, I'm taking my time with that thing. One day 1019 01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:39.239 we're gonna finish it next year. I too scared to go back to it. 1020 01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:43.639 Like after I saw that, I'm like, yeah, shit, fuck 1021 01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:48.280 uh, last game that well we have here on the list. I believe 1022 01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:53.079 only Dan has played, and I'm very interested to hear it. It's also 1023 01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:57.679 my favorite Journey song. Dan. You've been playing Resident before remake separate ways. 1024 01:04:58.360 --> 01:05:00.920 Yes, it's very fun, and it's not what I remember from like 1025 01:05:01.239 --> 01:05:03.800 if I remember right, it was the PS two version of Resonne before, 1026 01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:08.280 and it was you play as Ada and it was very much like if it's 1027 01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:12.079 been forever, But I remember being like when you and her meet up before 1028 01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:15.199 the courtyard with the dogs and stuff like that. I feel like it's covering 1029 01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:17.840 kind of that part of the game, and this is like kind of a 1030 01:05:18.679 --> 01:05:23.760 wider spanning length of time and there's more game. Like it's way heavier on 1031 01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:28.000 like stealth stuff like clearing out a large areas like around the castle with you 1032 01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:30.719 know, stealth kills. You've got this grapple gun for mobility and everything. 1033 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:33.639 So it's actually changes the decent amount of stuff introduced. Some weapons. I 1034 01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:38.599 just got this like exploding crossbow thing that's super fun. It's you know, 1035 01:05:38.599 --> 01:05:40.800 I don't think it's going to be a super long thing. I've heard it's 1036 01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:45.239 like three or four hours, but Ada is awesome. I thought Separate Ways 1037 01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:48.000 was a great addition to resue before the first time around, And any excuse 1038 01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:53.400 to play that game more, I'm into. And if you like to remake 1039 01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.400 it's that was some fun new like little bells and whistles. Don't expect like 1040 01:05:56.440 --> 01:05:58.639 a total like you know, remaking of the game or anything like that. 1041 01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:01.360 But you liked it. It's this is well worth like what ten bucks? 1042 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:04.480 I think it is? Yeah, dropping the bucket, Yeah that's awesome. 1043 01:06:04.840 --> 01:06:09.320 Yeah, yeah, it looks super duper pretty now chees. Yeah, and 1044 01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:11.840 you can do some two words like let's say you shoot I love doing the 1045 01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:15.199 melee stuff and resume before. And let's say I'm twenty thirty feet away from 1046 01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:16.719 a guy, shoot him in a leg, stagger him. You'll get the 1047 01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:19.320 melee thing that pops up. But since she has the grapple guns, she'll 1048 01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:23.239 grapple in and then like kick him in the face. Like it's pretty cool. 1049 01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:29.880 Yeah. I wanted to bring up Ari four as the last game because 1050 01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:32.239 I wanted to ask folks like, what what what's the appetite here? Is 1051 01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:39.119 this where where do we think on like top ten wise huh where without a 1052 01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:44.159 doubt, no, no question, like and that's making space for like what's 1053 01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:48.159 about to happen later month, right price if it makes my top ten. 1054 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:51.280 Uh, I'm not trying to troll or anything. I know Mike, that'll 1055 01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:57.440 make Mike furious. But uh, I just wo, I did number one, 1056 01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:02.000 number one, Mber one or two? Mike. I love you to 1057 01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:06.800 death, but you simple idiot. It's not going to be number someone that 1058 01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:11.639 doesn't like spooky stuff. I'm so surprised he really likes this game. He's 1059 01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:15.079 liking spooky stuff these days. Actually, I love spook like again, if 1060 01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:19.639 I think a person even came out on Halloween, would it would probably move 1061 01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:26.239 up a flier too. But no, it's I think it's someone I was 1062 01:07:26.239 --> 01:07:28.760 looking in the chat about top five. I don't know if it's the top 1063 01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:32.760 five floating around five or six for me right now. Yeah, but okay, 1064 01:07:32.800 --> 01:07:39.119 it's not better than it's not gonna the one up Zelda like Zelda Armored 1065 01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:43.519 Tour, Mortal Kombat. Mario is coming out like there's some heavy hitters forgetting 1066 01:07:43.519 --> 01:07:49.119 Mario Wonders this year. Mario Wonder Mario wonder. Yeah, Warrio were with 1067 01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:54.159 like pooping an egg game. Yes, all right, I feel like, 1068 01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:57.000 out of the four of us here, one of us needs to devote a 1069 01:07:57.000 --> 01:08:00.519 little bit more time to Balder's Gate three, and I think I'll I'll take 1070 01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:02.440 the plunge. I'm gonna I'm gonna spend some more time with that, for 1071 01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:06.320 sure. I gotta I gotta get block Lesner back. You know what was 1072 01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:11.719 Yeah, I've played a second of that game, but that's my favorite part 1073 01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:15.599 of the whole entire thing we've done with that. Like, I really enjoyed 1074 01:08:15.639 --> 01:08:17.199 when we played the multiplayer stuff. That was fun. But then to like 1075 01:08:17.359 --> 01:08:23.920 try and lock down friends, cult workers, miscellaneous people online, to like, 1076 01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:27.520 all right, we're gonna play this for forty hours. Okay, how 1077 01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:30.359 people do that? Like how do they coordinate and have the time, And 1078 01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:33.399 like, I just I don't understand how that's possible. Oh you get that? 1079 01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:41.680 Come on outside of work out of blue the last what did you fucking 1080 01:08:41.880 --> 01:08:44.479 every fucking day from the moment I wake up the moment I go to bed, 1081 01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:47.279 I'm doing it like I'm maybe eating in an hour of cyberpunk last night. 1082 01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:49.840 Among all this shit I got going on, like I wish I had 1083 01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:53.680 way more time to play video games, and so the idea of coordinating with 1084 01:08:53.720 --> 01:08:57.119 a group of people and playing a game forty sixty one hundred hours, like 1085 01:08:57.319 --> 01:09:00.680 that's insanity to me. I have no idea how that's possible. And that's 1086 01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:08.960 probably why fantasy football works. We've we've closed the loop on segment one. 1087 01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:12.319 I guess maybe we're all gonna get into fantasy football, but we're definitely gonna 1088 01:09:12.319 --> 01:09:15.199 get into Fantasy Critic next year. And I'm gonna I'm gonna start writing reviews 1089 01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:19.039 for this website. You know, we're gonna starting scores on this podcast. 1090 01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:25.560 Just a tank, Mike Manati specifically get them. Oh, I don't think 1091 01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:28.399 I'm ready to get into ball. There's gate three. I just remember I 1092 01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:31.520 want to play through Alan Wake for the first time. Oh yeah, yeah, 1093 01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:35.760 oh no, oh no. And then it's wait, rebirth final Fantasy 1094 01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:39.159 seven. Rebirth is not this year, right, It's not. No, 1095 01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:42.079 that's early next year.

Welcome back to 1113 01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:04.640 the giant BombCast how we could slash, should dismantle kind of funny in a 1114 01:11:05.760 --> 01:11:10.119 a dodgeball game, you know, yeah, oh, don't forget about that, 1115 01:11:10.279 --> 01:11:14.520 guys. But I really do this. I'm beyond planning the seeds now. 1116 01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:18.159 I just want to like, I'm just waiting till it happens. Miller 1117 01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:21.439 would be a distraction and yelling and all that stuff. So just get him 1118 01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:26.960 out first, but during where he has like room exactly, because if Miller's 1119 01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:30.079 on the sidelines, he's going to be more effective. Yeah, you're yeah, 1120 01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:34.079 I agree. Yeah, that's the room when you get hit. Yeah, 1121 01:11:34.359 --> 01:11:39.239 he's gonna be yelling the whole time, but he's yelling the whole time 1122 01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:42.920 and playing, he's gonna run out of breath. That's a good point. 1123 01:11:43.159 --> 01:11:45.760 That's point. Okay, this is why we had these conversations. Yeah, 1124 01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:48.840 okay, see I almost feel like i'd i'd be more effective on the sidelines 1125 01:11:49.359 --> 01:11:54.039 coaching and and like as a tactician, you know, I think, know 1126 01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:57.760 you'd be effective, like we get snowbike Mike out and you out, and 1127 01:11:57.760 --> 01:12:00.880 then you just distract Snowbike Mike so he can't get them strategies and tactics and 1128 01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:04.319 stuff. I think if snowback. Mike is like the healer of their team, 1129 01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:08.560 right, He's gonna heal their morales support exactly. But I think they 1130 01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:11.439 could all kind of be that, like Miller could do that. Mike can 1131 01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:14.720 do that, Tim Gettis could do that, like they're all there are some 1132 01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:18.640 not shy folks over there. Yeah, and we we all have shame. 1133 01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:25.479 It's no different deep well not no, no, Well, that's why Manati 1134 01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:29.119 is like a ringer of the team, you know. Okay, yeah, 1135 01:12:29.159 --> 01:12:31.159 that's fair. We've just been telling him we're right. No, no, 1136 01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:34.119 I know, I know, we've been telling him we're going to pick him 1137 01:12:34.199 --> 01:12:38.760 last to anger him. Right, But maybe, but maybe Manati is our 1138 01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.720 Jade Cargill and he's about to jump ship. Oh totally, he's our Jake 1139 01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:47.079 Jade Cargill, Mike. Yeah, they're indiscernible. Yeah, I've never seen 1140 01:12:47.119 --> 01:12:51.239 them in the same room together at the same time. So's he's technically not 1141 01:12:51.359 --> 01:12:57.920 signed. So yeah, I can't wait for them. No, no, 1142 01:12:57.960 --> 01:13:02.239 I'm saying that Manati is and signed. I can't wait for the ESPN article 1143 01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:08.279 to drop. Will we say six on six, right or five on five? 1144 01:13:08.760 --> 01:13:11.920 Six on six feels fine? Right? So who so let's go through 1145 01:13:11.920 --> 01:13:14.039 who they have? What do they got? What are we doing here? 1146 01:13:14.920 --> 01:13:16.479 Well, it's like the six of them, right, like the is there 1147 01:13:16.479 --> 01:13:19.119 just six of the six main there still I don't know, there's a bunch 1148 01:13:19.159 --> 01:13:23.239 over there. There's an obscene amount of them. I just want to Matt. 1149 01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:25.560 I just want to see how we match up. Pound they got. 1150 01:13:25.800 --> 01:13:32.680 They got Greg, Tims Stoke, Mike Andy, Yeah, Andy, yeah, 1151 01:13:32.760 --> 01:13:35.920 Yeah, that's the five a whole crew over there. They're gonna Joey 1152 01:13:36.159 --> 01:13:39.920 yeah, oh yeah, Nick yeah, Nick Scorpino yeah, Nick, And 1153 01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:43.640 then like, okay, we'll put alternates. They could have Gary Witto play 1154 01:13:44.159 --> 01:13:51.159 yeah, the Paris yep. That please. Now, well, if we're 1155 01:13:51.159 --> 01:13:56.800 gonna have snow, if we're gonna have Mike Manati, right they I suppose 1156 01:13:56.920 --> 01:14:00.880 yeah, all right, then us it's what us four back are Dan? 1157 01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:05.359 We could use by me? Okay, Bailey? All right? We so 1158 01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:11.399 is Manati our sixth? Yeah? There you go, okay, and then 1159 01:14:11.439 --> 01:14:15.960 alternates we'd we'd subb in Tam and Lucy. I feel like, would Tam 1160 01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:18.479 be pretty good? I think Tam would be very good. I could see 1161 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:23.560 it. Yeah, yeah, you can put me on the sidelines if you 1162 01:14:23.560 --> 01:14:25.319 know, we want to throw like Lucy and my spot or so I'm not 1163 01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:28.520 going to Yale. That'd be fine, that's true, that might be more 1164 01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:32.039 effective. Yeah. I can use better than that capacity. I will get 1165 01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:35.960 hurt right away. So let's let's hyeah put Lucy. Yeah you know what, 1166 01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:40.560 did you good? I can get hurt in numerous circumstances. Be a 1167 01:14:40.600 --> 01:14:45.720 good uh dodgeball like manager, you know, like give you a megaphone, 1168 01:14:45.239 --> 01:14:50.600 right, and then he's austrailing on the other team. Yeah yeah, signed 1169 01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:53.840 him on the tour. Might as well do it for dodgeball. Yeah. 1170 01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:57.000 I like that, Okay, I like that. So the theoretical teams would 1171 01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:01.079 be Greg, Tim Blessing, Andy Snowbike, Mike and Nick versus Backlar Grub, 1172 01:15:01.279 --> 01:15:05.119 myself, Bailey, Tam and Lucy with Dan supporting on the sides. 1173 01:15:06.039 --> 01:15:10.199 Yeah we win that easy, Yeah yeah, yeah, I think we win 1174 01:15:10.279 --> 01:15:15.479 that. And then manadis just sort of he's the seventh man. Yeah yeah 1175 01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:18.560 yeah. And then like we'll have Emma on the side with a clipper like 1176 01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:23.439 strategizing with like a whistle, and like the white board and we have like 1177 01:15:23.479 --> 01:15:26.279 the xs and os and white board markers. It'll be great. It's gonna 1178 01:15:26.279 --> 01:15:30.159 be deflating the balls, reading the other team's signs. We're gonna cheat every 1179 01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:35.119 way we can exactly one hundred percent. Speaking about Emma, new episode of 1180 01:15:35.159 --> 01:15:40.359 her show just released on game Spots YouTube channel. I think it's about chickens. 1181 01:15:40.640 --> 01:15:53.520 This, yes, chickens. Uh, Grub the news. The news 1182 01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:56.760 is my wife just switched to an eyePhone and I'm not talking to her. 1183 01:15:56.920 --> 01:15:59.319 Is it the fifteen to move? Ye? Okay? Is it? Is 1184 01:15:59.359 --> 01:16:01.520 it the fifteen? Yeah? Okay yo, alright, alright, alright, 1185 01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:04.239 Grub. I'm so sorry to interrupt you. You gotta do what you gotta 1186 01:16:04.279 --> 01:16:10.199 do, Okay, all right. I love I love log footage, and 1187 01:16:10.239 --> 01:16:13.079 I know that I'm never gonna have the time or patience to color correct that 1188 01:16:13.119 --> 01:16:16.520 shit. But I absolutely love the idea of shooting log on a phone. 1189 01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:25.199 Haven't seen these people shooting four KSE sixty Apple pro rez straight to a separate 1190 01:16:25.399 --> 01:16:29.840 hard drive from their phone. It's why I love wirelessly to a hard drive 1191 01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:33.319 plu USBC. Okay, nice, I think that's cool. Like, I'm 1192 01:16:33.359 --> 01:16:38.720 all for that. I think can you shoot photos in raw? Yeah? 1193 01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:42.439 You can do that. That's coming to the new pixel too. I think, 1194 01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:45.880 Yeah, I don't know. It's just like I don't like how she 1195 01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:48.680 was peer pressured into it. I don't like that, like her phone. 1196 01:16:48.920 --> 01:16:54.079 That's the whole strategy though at this point is oh you got a green bubble, 1197 01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:58.079 you're subhuman. It's not even that. It's not even like the sort 1198 01:16:58.119 --> 01:17:01.800 of you know, exclusion. It's more like people are like, I don't 1199 01:17:01.800 --> 01:17:06.399 know how to add you a group chat or something like that. I'm just 1200 01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:10.399 like, well, that's kind of what it is. We made everything too 1201 01:17:10.439 --> 01:17:14.239 easy for everyone, and now we're paying the price. If I five or 1202 01:17:14.239 --> 01:17:16.159 fourteen pro Max, is there any reason to get the fifteen I don't think 1203 01:17:16.199 --> 01:17:20.399 so. I don't really USBC. I mean I like USBC. I got 1204 01:17:20.439 --> 01:17:24.920 the new AirPods just for that, and then like I heard the action buttons 1205 01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:27.479 good or something, but I don't know what it does. You can make 1206 01:17:27.479 --> 01:17:30.079 it do whatever. That many improvements, Okay. I want to get rid 1207 01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:33.079 of these lightning cables, yeah, I mean if that's the thing. I 1208 01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:38.079 just love how Apple's like, Oh, lightning cables suck, don't they. 1209 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:44.560 Yes, we invented USB. Yeah, just like the Internet, we also 1210 01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:51.720 invented USBC. Awesome. Oh Exapple I've got some news here. Let's start 1211 01:17:51.800 --> 01:17:57.479 with the Xbox Plus activision is provisionally approved by the CMA. This deal is 1212 01:17:57.479 --> 01:18:00.479 probably going to go through. Now, the UK's Competition and Markets At already 1213 01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:02.960 basically was like, Hey, that Ubi Soft deal that you made where the 1214 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:06.279 cloud streaming rights, you've completely sold those off to Ubisoft, and now if 1215 01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:10.520 you want those Microsoft, you have to go license them back from Ubisoft and 1216 01:18:10.600 --> 01:18:14.319 everyone else can do that as well. That solves all our problems. So 1217 01:18:15.199 --> 01:18:16.680 the CMA basically said, hey, this deal is probably gonna go through. 1218 01:18:17.199 --> 01:18:20.520 They're gonna make their final decision. I guess the process might start on October 1219 01:18:20.640 --> 01:18:24.720 six or something like that, but the final date for this, uh this 1220 01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:29.439 process is October eighteenth, So by the middle of next month this deal should 1221 01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:33.000 once and finally be truly done. I feel like there have been four news 1222 01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:36.399 stories on podcasts I've been on now is saying like it's done. It's I 1223 01:18:36.399 --> 01:18:39.520 feel like ten years fro now it's gonna be like, oh it felt through, 1224 01:18:39.520 --> 01:18:42.000 Oh it's going through. Oh it fell through like ye I don't blame 1225 01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:44.439 me for feeling that way, because that's what's happened. Yes, this is 1226 01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:49.319 stupid. Like the same company. You know, I think the writers strikes 1227 01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:53.880 started and ended in the time. It's still take it for all this stuff 1228 01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:57.760 that yeah, Bachla, I remember you at Summer Games Festialized or the Game 1229 01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:00.000 Awards last year, like trying to explain this to me. It's been going 1230 01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:04.239 on since before that whole say yeah, good lord, it's you know. 1231 01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:08.279 This time, it's like the regulators are like, hey, you changed one 1232 01:19:08.319 --> 01:19:11.920 thing, so we have to do the whole approval process all over again. 1233 01:19:12.319 --> 01:19:15.960 So that was the big hold up this time. But this really is the 1234 01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:19.960 final hurdle. It's been approved everywhere else. It will once it's approved in 1235 01:19:20.159 --> 01:19:24.000 the UK, they will just close the deal and that will be that, 1236 01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:28.079 and then Activision will be under Microsoft Gaming. What happens to that point, 1237 01:19:28.239 --> 01:19:30.680 who knows. We've talked about a million times. Well, let's just wait 1238 01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:33.319 and see. Let's just let it happen and then we'll find out. SAG 1239 01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:39.880 AFTRA Voice Actors have authorized a strike against video game publishers and producers SAG after 1240 01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:45.239 the Labor Union for American Actors has voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike against video 1241 01:19:45.239 --> 01:19:48.760 game companies. The union is seeking better wages, protections, against exploitative uses 1242 01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:54.720 of artificial intelligence and basic safety precautions. If a strike does occur, it 1243 01:19:54.760 --> 01:19:58.279 would likely affect a number of major video game companies. Now, the strike 1244 01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:02.159 hasn't begun, They have not enacted a strike, but they have approved a 1245 01:20:02.239 --> 01:20:04.840 strike, so that it does seem like it will come at any point. 1246 01:20:06.199 --> 01:20:12.039 I guess somewhat good news is that the WGA was able to get their deal, 1247 01:20:12.159 --> 01:20:15.920 So things are moving in the direction of these unions, but you kind 1248 01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:19.039 of have to strike to make that happen. The actors have already been on 1249 01:20:19.079 --> 01:20:24.560 strike for a couple of weeks, maybe a couple maybe a couple of months 1250 01:20:24.600 --> 01:20:29.199 at this point, and that's been against Hollywood studios. Now they're going to 1251 01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:31.119 get video game publishers in on this, and they want the same things like 1252 01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:38.199 they said that a mote against artificial intelligence taking over all these jobs or using 1253 01:20:38.199 --> 01:20:43.199 people's voices without them realizing it. And then protection for these people who are 1254 01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:45.960 like doing all these screaming into microphones for hours a day, hurting their voices. 1255 01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:48.720 They want some protections there as well, kind of basic stuff. At 1256 01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:51.920 this point, it seems like publishers are going to have to play ball. 1257 01:20:51.960 --> 01:20:57.520 But the video game publishers. Not great that they don't have along sort of 1258 01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:00.560 existence with unions. So we'll see how they handle it. They could be 1259 01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:05.840 fit pretty bad, but we'll see you guys, how you guys feel about 1260 01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:09.600 like the current like voice acting like voice act is in a good place in 1261 01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:15.239 video gaming, right and they kind of have maybe vois uh Sony anymore? 1262 01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:16.800 So we're good. Sure, Yeah, we got Megan Fox now, Yeah, 1263 01:21:16.840 --> 01:21:19.399 that's right exactly, that's who we need to protect his Megan Fox. 1264 01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:25.880 Yeah, I got nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong Megan Fox excommat differ. 1265 01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:30.680 Yeah, absolutely, Megan Fox is fantastic, just maybe not as a video 1266 01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:35.560 game character. Uh all right. A ransomware group claims to have breached all 1267 01:21:35.720 --> 01:21:43.039 of Sony's systems. Ransomware group ransomed dot VC claims to have breached to Sony 1268 01:21:43.079 --> 01:21:46.239 Group and it is threatening to sell stolen data. Sony has not confirmed the 1269 01:21:46.239 --> 01:21:49.439 breach, but has faced similar attacks in the past. The group was did 1270 01:21:49.560 --> 01:21:54.680 a post date of September twenty eight, which after which if nobody purchases the 1271 01:21:54.760 --> 01:22:00.319 data, it will presumably post all of the data online wholesale. They're actually 1272 01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:03.279 a update. Sony did acknowledge that this company, this group is saying this, 1273 01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:06.319 and they see that they're investigating the league. They have not confirmed it 1274 01:22:06.399 --> 01:22:12.199 still, Sony last time that the guy hacked really bad had to shut down 1275 01:22:12.279 --> 01:22:15.479 PlayStation network, right, what like four or five months? Remember that it 1276 01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:18.680 was long. It was a long time. Four or five months might be 1277 01:22:18.680 --> 01:22:20.960 a lot, but it was like two months. It was like a seriously 1278 01:22:21.039 --> 01:22:26.880 long time it was. That was over like the Korean the North Korean movie, 1279 01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:29.720 right. I wonder if that was part of that. I think it 1280 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:33.000 was. Was it the seth brogan what's this? Yeah, the interview, 1281 01:22:33.079 --> 01:22:36.319 the interview, Yeah, it was Yeah, it was definitely, yes said 1282 01:22:36.399 --> 01:22:40.399 around the holidays. I remember I was working at Jimmy John's and listening to 1283 01:22:40.399 --> 01:22:42.600 the podcasts people talking about it, and it was like, yeah, you 1284 01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:46.119 just could not play games online for PlayStation four about two months or something like 1285 01:22:46.159 --> 01:22:50.720 that. It was really well. Now because of that, they made a 1286 01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:56.479 lot of changes to their system and how it works and put in protections in 1287 01:22:56.520 --> 01:22:59.680 place. Maybe it didn't stop it from being stolen, but maybe they're more 1288 01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:02.880 common about keeping it up online this time. They're you know, though, 1289 01:23:02.920 --> 01:23:06.319 if their stuff did get get get stolen and that stuff goes up online, 1290 01:23:06.439 --> 01:23:11.000 Sony's going to be on the hook in places where where regulators are very serious 1291 01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:14.840 about that stuff, and now that includes the United States, because Lena Khan 1292 01:23:14.920 --> 01:23:18.159 has been coming down on these companies pretty hard for these breaches and allowing these 1293 01:23:18.199 --> 01:23:23.720 breaches to happen. We'll see what happens here when Sony does confirm it, 1294 01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:26.680 or for this company does, or this company, this hacker group does put 1295 01:23:26.720 --> 01:23:30.439 this stuff online. What it means for any one of us, that's still 1296 01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:33.239 a question. Well, yeah, that's right. It did kill the momentum 1297 01:23:33.239 --> 01:23:36.560 of one of the SOCOM's right, yes, yeah, Socom was like coming 1298 01:23:36.560 --> 01:23:41.359 out and then and people are getting excited to play it online, and like 1299 01:23:41.399 --> 01:23:45.199 around the time it launched, it was just nothing. You couldn't how everyone 1300 01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:49.279 knows, so was still a thing. It was like more than ten years 1301 01:23:49.319 --> 01:23:51.239 ago. Now, I think it has to because I was not in the 1302 01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:55.439 industry at that point. As killed so Calm. We all know that that's 1303 01:23:55.520 --> 01:24:00.840 right, exactly, Well, so Calm deserved it. Uh Can's cotour to 1304 01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:06.079 switch DLC leads to a class action lawsuit against Aspire and Saber Interactive. Aspire 1305 01:24:06.119 --> 01:24:12.039 and Saber Interactive are facing a class action lawsuit for canceling the Restored Content DLC 1306 01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:15.000 for the switch port of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic two. The 1307 01:24:15.119 --> 01:24:20.159 DLC was originally advertised as coming soon but was never released, and Aspire offered 1308 01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:24.960 customers who bought the game that on the chance, they offered them a chance 1309 01:24:25.159 --> 01:24:28.840 to download seven other games for free as an apology for not delivering this thing 1310 01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:31.720 that they said they would. But the plaintiff is seeking a refund and other 1311 01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:38.439 damages. The defendants have until October fourth to respond to the lawsuit. Yeah, 1312 01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:41.680 this is this is probably straight up at false advertising, and there's kind 1313 01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:44.520 of no way around this because they did promise this as part of like, 1314 01:24:44.640 --> 01:24:46.720 hey, buy this game and you're gonna get all this content, content that 1315 01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:50.000 was cut from the game that you really can't get anywhere else unless you add 1316 01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:53.880 mods to the PC, but you're gonna get it on your switch. People 1317 01:24:53.880 --> 01:24:57.079 bought the game, we're waiting for it. It didn't come through. A 1318 01:24:57.079 --> 01:25:00.239 part of me is like I never trust these companies and they promises like that, 1319 01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:02.319 but they also you just can't make promises like this and not deliver on 1320 01:25:02.399 --> 01:25:05.960 them, right, Yeah, I mean, if that's one of your marketing 1321 01:25:06.039 --> 01:25:12.079 bullet points and you just don't have it. I'd i'd understand being upset. 1322 01:25:12.319 --> 01:25:15.199 I don't know about yamass action. Maybe just a refund, Yeah, I 1323 01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:17.119 mean class action lawsuits, you know, I'm I'm no lawyer, but my 1324 01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:23.760 understanding it's like those are almost always initiated by a law firm spotting an opportunity 1325 01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:27.279 to get a class together because the class, you know, individuals in the 1326 01:25:27.319 --> 01:25:30.840 class get a couple of bucks, maybe a coupon for Red Bull or some 1327 01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:35.399 shit. The lawyers get a lot of money. They get a lot of 1328 01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:39.800 money. So why are we getting into class actions? Then, y'all what's 1329 01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:43.119 I don't know? Yeah, what's the thing that's bugged y'all latelier? I 1330 01:25:43.119 --> 01:25:45.720 don't know, Yeah, yeah, I don't know all of them things. 1331 01:25:45.920 --> 01:25:50.319 Yes. Uh. Kamia is leaving Platinum. Decky Kamia, the director of 1332 01:25:50.359 --> 01:25:55.640 Bayonetta and The Wonderful One o One, his left Platinum Games after fifteen years. 1333 01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:59.159 He thanked he thanked fans for their support and said he will continue making 1334 01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:01.319 games. Said he's going to do it in the Kami Away. He also 1335 01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:05.239 said he believes the spirit of creation and his believes in the spirit of creation 1336 01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:10.119 and he has committed to aiming for that. It is not clear what will 1337 01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:14.680 happen to Project Gigi, a superhero project he was working on at Platinum Games 1338 01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:17.199 when I like, I talked about this on Game this morning, so I'm 1339 01:26:17.239 --> 01:26:20.239 like, yeah, people leave studios, But Kamya, what kind of was 1340 01:26:20.359 --> 01:26:24.600 Platinum Games? And if you look at his track record, he has a 1341 01:26:24.600 --> 01:26:28.159 lot of hits under his belt, So I wonder what this means for Platinum 1342 01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:30.760 Games. I also wonder, like, what is he going to go do. 1343 01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:34.680 Shinjimcami left Tango Game Works. I wonder if there's a chance those two 1344 01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:40.159 get back together, maybe under a new studio at like maybe Microsoft or but 1345 01:26:40.239 --> 01:26:43.840 then you know, Shinjimmy left Microsoft, so maybe probably ten Cent or something 1346 01:26:43.880 --> 01:26:46.800 like that net Ease. A lot of those companies are starting up developers with 1347 01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:50.479 Japanese talent. I don't know, you guys have a lot of love for 1348 01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:55.600 Platinum Games, because I really do. But Kami's games were sometimes hit or 1349 01:26:55.640 --> 01:26:58.520 miss, but he's got a lot of hits. I did do Vanquish. 1350 01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:01.119 I think Vanquish was yes. Bank for is fun. Bayonet is amazing. 1351 01:27:01.399 --> 01:27:04.720 Bayonetta two is a classic. It's a really really good. Definitely the best 1352 01:27:04.720 --> 01:27:09.920 one. Yeah, yes, what so he worked on old resident Evils. 1353 01:27:10.960 --> 01:27:15.199 Uh, Shami definitely did directly he has one ones or like I don't really 1354 01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:19.520 know. According to Wikipedia, he directed Ari two. Okay, there it 1355 01:27:19.560 --> 01:27:23.239 is. Yes, it's one of the better classic ones. Okay yeah yes 1356 01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:32.359 uh and definitely beautiful show. Yeah. This is like a early part of 1357 01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:36.239 his career. Is definitely like a blank check style run. Yeah it is 1358 01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:40.760 absolutely Uh. He did the Wonderful one on one, which is a lot 1359 01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:44.640 of people really liked. He Devil Make Cry, Yeah, Devil May Cry 1360 01:27:44.800 --> 01:27:49.640 Okay, what geez? Okay, beautiful Phoenix right as well. He was 1361 01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:56.359 the voice of godat never Mind Sorry Evil within No, No, that's Shini 1362 01:27:56.399 --> 01:28:02.520 Bakami Okay, okay, gotchah so yes, but but Kamia is also the 1363 01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:06.319 guy that blocks everybody on Twitter, and that was like part of the Wonderful 1364 01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:11.279 one to one a crowdfunding campaigns. So you can go to a certain level, 1365 01:28:11.319 --> 01:28:14.560 he'll block you on Twitter or something like that, or he will unblock 1366 01:28:14.600 --> 01:28:16.000 you. I think I got a higher tier or something like that. Awesome. 1367 01:28:16.319 --> 01:28:21.119 So he's always had that sort of a cerbic a personality about him. 1368 01:28:21.680 --> 01:28:25.399 But I think he's he's kind of earned like a little bit of that blank 1369 01:28:25.479 --> 01:28:28.359 check and can maybe take that forward and start up a new studio of his 1370 01:28:28.359 --> 01:28:30.319 own. Again, we'll see what happens, but he did he helped found 1371 01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:33.600 Platinum Games, So him moving on is going to be a big change or 1372 01:28:33.600 --> 01:28:39.199 Platinum and what they what they put out going forward. Sometimes I wonder when 1373 01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:45.800 some big directors leave a studio and find found their own studio, sometimes a 1374 01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:50.840 little bit there's no one there to rain them in, so kind of a 1375 01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:56.520 little bit angry. I agree. Uh, Like I wonder like Negoshi, 1376 01:28:56.560 --> 01:29:01.840 who who left Osega and Ryogakou, the studio that does the Yakuza games. 1377 01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:06.119 It's like it's gonna go He's working for a big Chinese company now and has 1378 01:29:06.159 --> 01:29:11.760 his own studio, Negoshi Studios. You know, is he gonna be able 1379 01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:14.880 to do what he wants while also serving the new masters? I don't know. 1380 01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:16.880 I think it's gonna be interesting. And if it doesn't have that oversight 1381 01:29:16.920 --> 01:29:19.920 of people who have made games with him the way he likes to make games, 1382 01:29:20.319 --> 01:29:23.920 Yeah, who knows what that's gonna end up looking like. I kind 1383 01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:27.880 of hope that these big directors are able to find their footing in this like 1384 01:29:27.960 --> 01:29:30.960 new world where it's like for so long they were just like, no, 1385 01:29:30.039 --> 01:29:32.760 you work at these Japanese companies and for most of most of you, you're 1386 01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:35.359 going to work at the same one for your entire life. Maybe you're gonna 1387 01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:38.880 work at one or two. If you start your own studio, you're going 1388 01:29:38.920 --> 01:29:41.439 to do that for the rest of your life. Now they're like, no, 1389 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:44.760 there's more opportunities out there. So I wonder how they're able to navigate 1390 01:29:44.800 --> 01:29:50.079 that. Resident Evil four is going to cost sixty dollars on the iPhone fifteen 1391 01:29:50.159 --> 01:29:57.880 Pro. The yeshone iPhone fifteen Pro version of Resume Before Remake will cost sixty 1392 01:29:57.920 --> 01:30:00.920 dollars and it's available for pre order. Now, this is the full game, 1393 01:30:01.319 --> 01:30:04.119 and it's really good. Does it look like it looks on consoles and 1394 01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:06.880 PC? Pretty much? Yes? I mean that that listen to phone the 1395 01:30:06.880 --> 01:30:13.199 iPhone fifteen pro uh max and the pro they the processor in there is basically 1396 01:30:13.239 --> 01:30:17.279 what's in a MacBook these days are very close, uh and they basically are 1397 01:30:17.319 --> 01:30:19.279 treating it like a console. This is one of the things where it's like, 1398 01:30:19.279 --> 01:30:21.239 hey, cloud gaming might not be a thing because you're gonna be able 1399 01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:26.479 to run these games on your phone, your TV. There's yeah, there's 1400 01:30:26.520 --> 01:30:33.520 definitely controller and especially with the USBC now, But people who who play games 1401 01:30:33.520 --> 01:30:39.239 on phones have been used to the price tag of fucking nothing. Well unless 1402 01:30:39.239 --> 01:30:43.960 it's a Final Fantasy game though, because those even like yeah, Square tries 1403 01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:45.920 to charge those, but those things those no one buys those, like it's 1404 01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:49.239 a Final Fantasy. Fans buy those, but no, no one knew comes 1405 01:30:49.239 --> 01:30:51.840 to Final Fantasy on phone. But like, well, I'm gonna spend fifteen 1406 01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:56.760 dollars on this thing. I don't know. This is I get why they 1407 01:30:56.800 --> 01:30:59.319 feel they need to do this, because they would be like weird if like 1408 01:30:59.399 --> 01:31:02.159 you can get this game for fifteen dollars on iPhone and it's the same exact 1409 01:31:02.239 --> 01:31:08.199 thing. But I just this is the real hurdle here, getting the games 1410 01:31:08.239 --> 01:31:13.239 running on phone whatever, Getting people to buy games at sixty dollars on phone, 1411 01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:15.159 I guess civilization has done that before, but I just don't know. 1412 01:31:15.479 --> 01:31:21.199 I mean, over time, people that exclusively play mobile games have definitely spent 1413 01:31:21.319 --> 01:31:25.840 more than sixty dollars. Oh yes, one million percent. Yes, But 1414 01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:29.640 they like to try a bunch of stuff and do free to play first, 1415 01:31:29.680 --> 01:31:32.000 and then then they get hooked, and then they do the gotcha mechanics and 1416 01:31:32.039 --> 01:31:35.640 spend a bunch of money. RESU four probably not going to have gotcha mechanics, 1417 01:31:35.720 --> 01:31:40.680 and if it does, that wouldn't don't want that either. Yes, 1418 01:31:41.680 --> 01:31:45.159 uh, but you know, sixty dollars might not be enough because Capcom's president 1419 01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:49.960 thinks games should cost more. Capcom's president, Haruhiro Sujimoto, believes that video 1420 01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:54.800 games should cost more to buy. He sided the in Chris, increasing cost 1421 01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:58.840 of game development and the need to raise wages for talented employees as the reason 1422 01:31:58.960 --> 01:32:01.680 for this. In defensive Capcom, they are one of the publishers who have 1423 01:32:02.000 --> 01:32:05.359 kept the sixty dollars price tag while most of the other ones have gone to 1424 01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:11.680 seventy dollars. That will likely change very soon. I knew, I knew 1425 01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:15.680 the Capcom He'll turn was coming, y'all, Yes, here it is. 1426 01:32:15.319 --> 01:32:19.000 It's inevitable. They're hey, when you got this kind of hit street going, 1427 01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:23.359 it's hard not to turn into the bad guy. Capcom doing very well 1428 01:32:23.560 --> 01:32:27.720 in terms of the games that they're putting out. I don't know, yeah, 1429 01:32:27.800 --> 01:32:30.680 I kind of feel like, yeah, they maybe have earned it a 1430 01:32:30.680 --> 01:32:33.239 little bit but yeah, I don't like. Wait, urse seventy dollars? 1431 01:32:33.279 --> 01:32:39.079 Okay? For everyone else? Is how come all right? Circling kind of 1432 01:32:39.119 --> 01:32:43.520 back to cyberpunk. Everyone here knows that I'm a big fan of Mega Man 1433 01:32:43.560 --> 01:32:47.079 Battle Network. How Come no one told me that you could in cyberpunk you 1434 01:32:47.199 --> 01:32:53.119 just jack into people, jack into walls. You just pull a little ethernet 1435 01:32:53.159 --> 01:32:56.279 cord out of your wrist and just just plug into someone. How Come no 1436 01:32:56.319 --> 01:33:03.640 one ever told me that it was basically a Battle Network game. How do 1437 01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:06.720 you guys feel about the seventy dollars price tags this generation? Because I got 1438 01:33:06.720 --> 01:33:10.079 over it real quick, but I don't know. I hate that I got 1439 01:33:10.079 --> 01:33:13.560 over it real quick. Yeah, I'll tell you what, Like, I 1440 01:33:13.600 --> 01:33:15.760 don't think you know, look, let's be honest, Like it doesn't affect 1441 01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:18.159 us in the same way as it affects other people. And I think that. 1442 01:33:18.960 --> 01:33:23.600 I've absolutely like people are almost like mad at me for it, Like 1443 01:33:23.680 --> 01:33:26.840 I like that They're like, well, what am I spending seventy dollars? 1444 01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:30.159 And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what they're charging, Like I 1445 01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:34.960 didn't do that. Uh. People, people are upset, and uh, 1446 01:33:35.119 --> 01:33:40.680 I think it. I think for whatever reason, the sixty two seventy dollars 1447 01:33:40.720 --> 01:33:46.279 bump was a was a bit of a threshold that triggered people. And and 1448 01:33:46.319 --> 01:33:51.359 again regardless of like obviously you know, different socio economic backgrounds and whatnot, 1449 01:33:51.359 --> 01:33:56.680 but like I think across the board, I've heard it from every walk of 1450 01:33:56.760 --> 01:33:59.920 life, like for whatever reason, this is, oh, I know, 1451 01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:03.600 for what I know what reason this has been a thing more than last time? 1452 01:34:03.800 --> 01:34:10.000 For sure? Yes, was when did they go from fifty to sixty 1453 01:34:09.640 --> 01:34:15.359 sixty four? Sixty four started having sixty dollars games and more like eighty dollar 1454 01:34:15.479 --> 01:34:17.880 games. But that was all like the cartridge cost when it was like a 1455 01:34:17.960 --> 01:34:24.199 blanket, every game is going to be sixty dollars, it was. Yes, 1456 01:34:24.279 --> 01:34:27.239 Now let me follow that up with what I also tell them after, 1457 01:34:27.439 --> 01:34:29.359 you know, we like make fun of each other for a little bit. 1458 01:34:29.359 --> 01:34:32.239 I say, I go, well, you shouldn't be buying games right away 1459 01:34:32.239 --> 01:34:35.640 anyway, you know at this point. And that's my sort of I'm like, 1460 01:34:35.760 --> 01:34:40.199 you know, especially people, uh, you know, in our situation 1461 01:34:40.319 --> 01:34:44.640 right now, where like this is not the absolute most important thing going on 1462 01:34:44.760 --> 01:34:47.199 in their life right now, Like if you can wait four to six weeks, 1463 01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:51.880 like you're probably gonna get a twenty percent discount, you know. Uh. 1464 01:34:53.119 --> 01:34:54.680 I Also, I wonder if a lot of people do this. I 1465 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:56.920 wonder if I didn't do what I did for a living, if I would 1466 01:34:56.920 --> 01:35:00.640 buy physical so I could trade it in. You know, my sister does 1467 01:35:00.680 --> 01:35:01.439 that. You know, It's like, yeah, a lot of people do 1468 01:35:01.479 --> 01:35:05.159 that, and that's a very smart thing to do if if you're cost conscious. 1469 01:35:05.239 --> 01:35:08.520 Yes, yeah, you have spending seventy dollars and then you beat the 1470 01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:10.680 game or don't like a game, and then you're just like fucked. It's 1471 01:35:10.720 --> 01:35:12.800 like, man, at least let me trade it in and get thirty bucks 1472 01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:16.840 for it or something. Yep, yeah, absolutely. I think the last 1473 01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:19.600 seventy dollars game I bought was the Legend of Elder Tears of the Kingdom, 1474 01:35:20.319 --> 01:35:25.600 and I think I got it with that cupon that that two things where you 1475 01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:28.680 spend one hundred dollars, Yeah, and you get two But like, qu 1476 01:35:28.760 --> 01:35:30.159 wants to turn in for games, So I bet I kind of technically spent 1477 01:35:30.239 --> 01:35:34.720 fifty dollars on that game. But it's probably an easier pill to swallow for 1478 01:35:34.880 --> 01:35:40.760 folks that also have like a gaming PC, right, it means to play 1479 01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:45.279 games on Steam whatever, just because Steam games go on sales so often, 1480 01:35:45.960 --> 01:35:50.880 yep, versus like console only folks. The solution here is is he's right, 1481 01:35:51.079 --> 01:35:56.359 look for those sales, wait, be a bargain hunter that A lot 1482 01:35:56.399 --> 01:35:59.720 of people really enjoy that, and and gaming has a lot of opportunities to 1483 01:35:59.760 --> 01:36:01.439 do that, even on the consoles these days. For digital games, they 1484 01:36:01.520 --> 01:36:05.000 have regular sales that are really really effective, and we could save a lot 1485 01:36:05.039 --> 01:36:10.079 of money. So yeah, yeah, alright. Red Dead Redemption two has 1486 01:36:10.079 --> 01:36:14.279 been listed for the Switch. Wait what? A Nintendo Switch version of Red 1487 01:36:14.319 --> 01:36:16.880 Dead Redemption two has been listed on the Brazilian Ratings Board website. However, 1488 01:36:17.000 --> 01:36:20.479 it is not queer when the listing was added. The game was originally classified 1489 01:36:20.479 --> 01:36:24.680 by the board in twenty eighteen, ahead of its release on other platforms. 1490 01:36:25.039 --> 01:36:28.199 Red Dead Redemption two is a popular game, sold over fifty five million copies. 1491 01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:32.199 A potential Switch version could likely be a cloud version, but the Brazilian 1492 01:36:32.319 --> 01:36:38.760 Ratings Board doesn't normally rate cloud versions of games. So there's it's it's weird. 1493 01:36:38.920 --> 01:36:40.800 It's one of those ones where like, wait, is that really going 1494 01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:44.159 to come to Switch? Would that even be possible? My gut tells me 1495 01:36:44.319 --> 01:36:46.600 no, And if it is. It's probably not gonna be a very good 1496 01:36:46.680 --> 01:36:49.680 version of that game, or maybe that's the right one. That's the one 1497 01:36:49.680 --> 01:36:54.439 I'm going to play and actually enjoy. They have to make it more arcady, 1498 01:36:54.960 --> 01:36:57.640 you know, you know what, they might make it a good game 1499 01:36:57.680 --> 01:37:01.000 then yeah, exactly twenty minutes to pick up a can of beans. Beans, 1500 01:37:01.119 --> 01:37:04.680 put it in my pocket, just drawer here, man, I would 1501 01:37:04.720 --> 01:37:10.000 really like looking through short It's real like that's it'd be great if they made 1502 01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:11.960 a good Red Dead Redemption two. I would like, Yeah, that would 1503 01:37:11.960 --> 01:37:15.319 be interesting that it seems difficult for them. But yeah, that's not what 1504 01:37:15.359 --> 01:37:17.600 they were going for with that one. So I just got much to berculosis 1505 01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:20.920 something. It's fucked up. How wrong you can be about one game. 1506 01:37:21.000 --> 01:37:29.119 And it's a very bad game about it's a bad game. It's what was 1507 01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:31.439 good about the first It's great if you think Starfield's interesting and Red Dead is 1508 01:37:31.479 --> 01:37:33.760 boring. I just I think started no, no, no, no, 1509 01:37:33.800 --> 01:37:36.640 I also think Starfield is pretty boring. Oh all right, last time we 1510 01:37:36.680 --> 01:37:40.800 say I enjoyed it when I first started, and I got very bored at 1511 01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:42.800 the very quick and I started playing Cyberpunk, and I'm like, oh, 1512 01:37:42.840 --> 01:37:45.720 man, start Field feels really fucking dated. Uh, Startfield is better than 1513 01:37:45.760 --> 01:37:48.960 red Ded Redemption two, but it's not great. Yeah how did how did 1514 01:37:49.159 --> 01:37:54.239 the three of us wind up together? And like the three biggest that provides 1515 01:37:54.319 --> 01:37:57.840 us more than anything else. I think, you know, I think you're 1516 01:37:57.920 --> 01:38:00.560 right. I think you're right. It's not the on the good job, 1517 01:38:00.680 --> 01:38:03.159 Jan, are you anti Red Dead twos? We fucking hate redd okay? 1518 01:38:05.359 --> 01:38:09.880 Yea, So we had three smart gamers on this podcast and have good taste, 1519 01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:13.399 and yeah, I can live with that. I could live with that. 1520 01:38:13.760 --> 01:38:16.640 Lucy also really loves Red Dead Redemption two, so I always felt so 1521 01:38:16.840 --> 01:38:24.119 every everyone has their anomalies soas consistent. You know, I can totally live 1522 01:38:24.359 --> 01:38:27.680 with that. In fact, I thought about playing it the other day, 1523 01:38:27.880 --> 01:38:32.640 but then I kind of live in my life. But yeah, it's fine. 1524 01:38:32.840 --> 01:38:38.359 Look I get it as someone who is right a lot. Yeah, 1525 01:38:39.119 --> 01:38:45.920 you know, it doesn't talking about us? Yeah us someone Dan, How 1526 01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:49.840 upset would you be if that was your next Blike club game does not fall 1527 01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:54.039 within the rules. It is unless you can beat it in like eight to 1528 01:38:54.119 --> 01:38:57.720 ten hours, which nope, it takes that long to fucking right across the 1529 01:38:57.800 --> 01:39:00.720 map for the eight hundred time with Dutch while he tells you boring ship like, 1530 01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:03.479 yea, it is interesting you did get in the beginning, and I 1531 01:39:03.720 --> 01:39:06.319 also I'm sorry, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait what 1532 01:39:06.479 --> 01:39:10.600 what I think you did like it in the beginning? Wait? Please produce? 1533 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:14.720 Please produce this? Didn't you any one of them? Impression video? 1534 01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:18.199 Right? Like first impression? I think you were just stranding. Didn't we 1535 01:39:18.359 --> 01:39:21.560 go to rock Start together? And we didn't go together? I I did 1536 01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:25.399 go to rock Star. I think you went separately. There was some really 1537 01:39:25.479 --> 01:39:28.960 interesting stuff in the slice that they showed. It was very interesting, the 1538 01:39:29.000 --> 01:39:30.840 amount of like like they were doing a lot of NPC interaction stuff, and 1539 01:39:30.840 --> 01:39:33.920 I was impressed by that that stuff I was. I was. That's part 1540 01:39:33.960 --> 01:39:38.239 of this reason I was so disappointed because you built up the NPC stuff like, 1541 01:39:38.279 --> 01:39:40.359 hey, if you point a gun at him, they're gonna react one 1542 01:39:40.399 --> 01:39:42.600 way and they put the gun away, then you're gonna be able to deal 1543 01:39:42.640 --> 01:39:45.520 with this. Yeah, it's like that stuff like works as they described it, 1544 01:39:45.600 --> 01:39:49.279 and there's nothing there's nothing else about it. It's just what they described 1545 01:39:49.439 --> 01:39:54.119 and you can't do anything else with that. A lot of people uh saying 1546 01:39:54.199 --> 01:39:57.520 that you turned around on it, which is fine your opinion. You know, 1547 01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:00.960 right from the start, my memory isn't great. If somebody can produce 1548 01:40:01.000 --> 01:40:03.479 a video where I say, I really like this a lot. So actually 1549 01:40:03.560 --> 01:40:08.359 we gave impressions on the Beast cast where I don't. I don't know, 1550 01:40:08.359 --> 01:40:11.079 but I'm sure it's from that rock Star visit. Then I bet I was 1551 01:40:11.119 --> 01:40:14.079 positive. If it's about the rock Star visit. I remember from the time 1552 01:40:14.119 --> 01:40:16.840 I started playing the game, I was like, this fucking blows. Like 1553 01:40:17.079 --> 01:40:20.960 I really hated that game from the beginning. In my memory, I definitely 1554 01:40:21.000 --> 01:40:25.199 hated about the end. We're a lot. Everyone's allowed to like different things. 1555 01:40:25.319 --> 01:40:29.680 I think for the sense of comedy, it's very enjoyable in this content. 1556 01:40:29.920 --> 01:40:32.039 The most stranding I flipped lopped on stranding. Yeah, I know, 1557 01:40:32.319 --> 01:40:38.720 I love cowboys. I fucking love cowboys, don't I think cowboys are stupid? 1558 01:40:39.079 --> 01:40:43.319 People who wear cowboy hats around in twenty twenty three confuse me. But 1559 01:40:43.439 --> 01:40:47.640 this game made me think cowboys were all right. So well, you should 1560 01:40:47.680 --> 01:40:51.319 watch Hangman Adam Page that may Yeah, there you go, that's a cowboy. 1561 01:40:53.479 --> 01:40:58.560 Yeah weird. I don't know. It's fine. They'll make a third 1562 01:40:58.600 --> 01:41:01.520 one in twenty thirty two, and you just won't play it, and they 1563 01:41:01.560 --> 01:41:04.399 just won't play good as long as they don't take the Red Dead approach. 1564 01:41:04.520 --> 01:41:10.279 So yeah, the most fun I had with Red Dead Redemption two was playing 1565 01:41:10.319 --> 01:41:13.960 online for a little bit with Vinnian Abbey. But then Vinnie immediately shot me 1566 01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:15.720 in the head, So hell, yeah, I did not have fun. 1567 01:41:15.880 --> 01:41:19.600 Sound like a good time, Let's see here the last couple of stories. 1568 01:41:19.720 --> 01:41:24.920 Xbox players can expect Japanese Triple A exclusives in the future, Phil Spencer says. 1569 01:41:25.479 --> 01:41:29.800 Xbox Boss Phil Spencer has said that Xbox players can expect to see Triple 1570 01:41:29.960 --> 01:41:32.359 X exclusives from Japanese developers in the future. He has also said that the 1571 01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:36.560 Microsoft that Microsoft has over two hundred fifty developers in Japan developing games for the 1572 01:41:36.680 --> 01:41:41.680 Xbox right now, and that they are committed to better catering to Japanese players. 1573 01:41:41.800 --> 01:41:45.199 This Council Generation, uh, they basically was at hey, like, 1574 01:41:45.279 --> 01:41:49.279 are you gonna do anything like Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey games that were stand 1575 01:41:49.359 --> 01:41:56.319 out Xbox three sixty exclusives from Japan in Japanese developers. He's like, Yeah, 1576 01:41:56.319 --> 01:41:59.720 that's exactly what you should expect so, and he pointed to obviously they 1577 01:42:00.000 --> 01:42:01.800 will have Tango game works in Hi Fi Rush, but it sounds like they're 1578 01:42:01.800 --> 01:42:04.479 going to do even more with that, and this is kind of right the 1579 01:42:04.560 --> 01:42:08.039 right place for Microsoft to be with this this thing. I know, he 1580 01:42:08.079 --> 01:42:11.760 says, get catering the Japanese developer gamers, Good luck with that, keep 1581 01:42:11.840 --> 01:42:15.800 trying that. I get that, like Japanese consumers do eventually come around on 1582 01:42:15.880 --> 01:42:19.239 these things if you're there for like thirty years, and they had the pretty 1583 01:42:19.319 --> 01:42:23.439 bad thing with the Xbox One where they just disappeared on them, so they 1584 01:42:23.520 --> 01:42:27.720 basically reset the clock on that, So good luck. But Japanese games have 1585 01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:30.800 an appeal globally, so if you want to like have a presence there so 1586 01:42:30.960 --> 01:42:34.439 you can get those games out on game Pass everywhere, that's pretty cool and 1587 01:42:34.439 --> 01:42:36.479 I hope they're able to pull that off. That's what I was going to 1588 01:42:36.560 --> 01:42:39.960 ask you, Greb, like, do you think Microsoft's gonna make like a 1589 01:42:40.000 --> 01:42:45.239 big push to get game Pass on phones and like mobile devices. Yeah, 1590 01:42:45.279 --> 01:42:47.960 I mean so like game Pass works on mobile devices now, but it's like, 1591 01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:54.560 is that something that the Japanese player knows about, because like you would 1592 01:42:54.560 --> 01:42:56.800 think, like, oh, yeah, that's the right audience. But it's 1593 01:42:56.840 --> 01:43:00.840 like, is that audience asking for traditional games on their phone or are they 1594 01:43:00.960 --> 01:43:03.560 completely happy with the gotcha games, the free to play games that are available 1595 01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:06.560 on the app stores. And the answer is they are very much happy with 1596 01:43:06.640 --> 01:43:10.680 those games. They don't they don't see such such a difference. I think, 1597 01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:13.840 as I think our side of the globe does, where it's like those 1598 01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:15.439 are completely different things. It's like, no, then that's all just video 1599 01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:18.640 games, and they're playing gotcha games and they're completely fine with that. So 1600 01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:25.319 I think game Pass even trying to make that appeal is not it's going to 1601 01:43:25.359 --> 01:43:28.680 have an uphill battle. It just will give me a Halo gotcha game. 1602 01:43:29.520 --> 01:43:31.159 Yeah, I mean, listen, that's just that's money in the bank right 1603 01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:35.039 there. The checks. They are making another Lord of the Rings game, 1604 01:43:35.079 --> 01:43:39.840 despite Gullum a Lord. A new Lord of the Rings game called Tales of 1605 01:43:39.880 --> 01:43:43.560 the Shire is being developed by wet Weta Workshop. I can't remember how to 1606 01:43:43.600 --> 01:43:46.399 say. I think it's Wetta and we'll be published by Private Division in twenty 1607 01:43:46.479 --> 01:43:49.760 twenty four. The game is set in the Shire and will be a heartwarming 1608 01:43:49.880 --> 01:43:55.079 experience. Embracer Group acquire the entertainment rights for the Lord of the Rings and 1609 01:43:55.119 --> 01:43:59.199 the Hobbit ips in August twenty twenty two, and plans to increase the It's 1610 01:43:59.199 --> 01:44:02.000 focused on internal I like Lord of the Rings, Amazon Games is also developing 1611 01:44:02.039 --> 01:44:05.560 a Lord of the Rings m m O. I don't think that this actually 1612 01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:10.720 involves Embracer group at this time, though, it's NOTNDS like something was already 1613 01:44:10.760 --> 01:44:15.359 in the plans before that deal went through. I don't know, Dan, 1614 01:44:15.439 --> 01:44:16.680 I know you're a huge Lord of the Rings guy. So how excited are 1615 01:44:16.680 --> 01:44:20.600 you about this? Ain't good enough? Very very very excited. You just 1616 01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:27.000 love those little freaks, right, you just like love's solid. It's the 1617 01:44:27.079 --> 01:44:29.359 issue for you, right, You don't think that a little guy can do 1618 01:44:29.479 --> 01:44:30.640 big things? Right? Well, how am I supposed to root for these 1619 01:44:30.640 --> 01:44:34.479 idiots? Yeah? That's my problem? Like these guys sucked, Like why 1620 01:44:34.520 --> 01:44:38.319 do I care that they don't don't do anything? Coolly difficult? Yes? 1621 01:44:38.600 --> 01:44:42.840 What about astro astrobots a little dude? Good point, But he's a fun, 1622 01:44:42.920 --> 01:44:45.560 little whimsical thing. It's not trying to be this big, super epic 1623 01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:47.640 thing. Like give me something cool, dude, don't give me some Elijah 1624 01:44:47.640 --> 01:44:51.720 would idiot's probably a nice guy. I don't know, but like sucks. 1625 01:44:53.039 --> 01:44:57.399 He's just a little idiot. He's not a rocky. Give me I need 1626 01:44:57.479 --> 01:45:00.960 a rock. Stop the rocky. I don't think he is the model of 1627 01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:03.880 like a guy you can root for, the opposite of that. Yeah, 1628 01:45:04.199 --> 01:45:08.319 he is the dude, you know, I just don't like. I'm with 1629 01:45:08.520 --> 01:45:12.239 you, like I am deeply uninterested in Lord of the Rings. Uh. 1630 01:45:12.680 --> 01:45:16.800 But I don't like it because I just think it's not cool. Where you 1631 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:19.880 don't like it because you're like, I don't want to root for these little 1632 01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:23.800 free there's no one to root for in there's movies. It's they're all so 1633 01:45:24.000 --> 01:45:27.439 long, so boring. For Gandalf, Rooting for gandof's cool. He's just 1634 01:45:27.520 --> 01:45:33.119 every wizard I've ever seen in any video gamer, movie or cartoon wizard wizard 1635 01:45:33.239 --> 01:45:35.840 one. Okay, well, then here wizards are boring. How about that? 1636 01:45:36.159 --> 01:45:41.960 All right, that's fair. That's in general pretty boring. It turns 1637 01:45:41.960 --> 01:45:45.800 out, so no, Lord Ras is like especially boring for fantasy stuff. 1638 01:45:45.159 --> 01:45:49.359 Fantasy in general, I think is not boring. It is boring. Zelda's 1639 01:45:49.399 --> 01:45:53.319 cool, but I think Zelda is like, Zelda's a fun video game, 1640 01:45:53.439 --> 01:45:58.359 you know, cool despite the fantasy. I think it's a little boy in 1641 01:45:58.399 --> 01:46:00.680 a lot of the games. But he has a word in fights, so 1642 01:46:00.760 --> 01:46:03.640 I think in your mind that he has backflips in like you know, six 1643 01:46:03.720 --> 01:46:08.720 a sword and Gannon's head. Froto could do backflips, things would be a 1644 01:46:08.720 --> 01:46:12.000 little different. He still looks like an idiot link It's like cool armor and 1645 01:46:12.039 --> 01:46:15.920 shield. You're just making fun of things that, you know. Froto can't 1646 01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:18.640 help what he looks like. You know. I'm just saying if I see 1647 01:46:18.680 --> 01:46:21.159 a movie, I want to see Colonel John Matrix, I want to see 1648 01:46:21.239 --> 01:46:25.439 Rocky, I want to see Apollo Creed. I want to see cool dudes 1649 01:46:25.479 --> 01:46:28.600 doing cool stuff. You just want to see cookie cutter, fucking strong guys. 1650 01:46:28.640 --> 01:46:33.560 Which Rocky is a cookie cutter character. Rocky Muscly Rambo, dude, 1651 01:46:33.600 --> 01:46:36.479 No, I'm not. I'm not a big Rambo mark. I think Rambo's 1652 01:46:36.479 --> 01:46:41.800 fun. That the last couple of Rambos are insane, and that's the surdest 1653 01:46:42.239 --> 01:46:46.640 art exactly. That's beautiful commando level violence and stuff. Rambo, the first 1654 01:46:46.680 --> 01:46:53.760 one's an interesting movie. John Matrix, Apollo, which is Matrix again, 1655 01:46:54.520 --> 01:46:59.199 John Matrix in Commando the Rocket, Connery and Yeah, Well, it's funny 1656 01:46:59.199 --> 01:47:01.760 because those those movies also age in a way where like they're better now than 1657 01:47:01.840 --> 01:47:08.399 they were. Arguably they've always been amazing. You're sorry, it does get 1658 01:47:08.439 --> 01:47:12.119 better, But first Blood is perfect. First Blood is a piece like like 1659 01:47:12.359 --> 01:47:15.720 like Rocky Rambo or First Blood. The first one is just a great film, 1660 01:47:15.119 --> 01:47:18.399 and then by the end it's just like whoa, we're going fucking nuts 1661 01:47:18.439 --> 01:47:21.760 here right away. But it's a different product at that point. I don't 1662 01:47:21.760 --> 01:47:28.399 think I necessarily disagree with the take that like all fantasies kind of like not 1663 01:47:28.600 --> 01:47:30.680 the best. But I think there's there's gems here and there. It all 1664 01:47:30.720 --> 01:47:34.600 seems the same, like I don't know, but like you're very like vanilla 1665 01:47:34.640 --> 01:47:39.000 action taste is just not I mean, I like Game of Thrones to it 1666 01:47:39.000 --> 01:47:41.239 an extent. You know, I read the first book. Here's like, 1667 01:47:41.359 --> 01:47:43.479 I tried to read both Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. I 1668 01:47:43.520 --> 01:47:45.760 couldn't make it through the first Lord of the Rings book. I did get 1669 01:47:45.800 --> 01:47:47.239 through the first Game of Thrones book, and I enjoyed it. You know. 1670 01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:49.960 The show definitely had its problems, and I definitely was like less into 1671 01:47:50.039 --> 01:47:53.920 it, you know as it went on. But you know, I can 1672 01:47:54.039 --> 01:47:57.199 get into fantasy if I feel like it's doing something different where there are interesting 1673 01:47:57.279 --> 01:47:59.640 characters. And just to be clear, when we say fantasy, we're just 1674 01:47:59.720 --> 01:48:02.840 talking about like swords and swords and wizard shit, you know, goblins, 1675 01:48:02.880 --> 01:48:05.920 whatever, the all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't 1676 01:48:05.960 --> 01:48:10.239 care about that. I like to be a normal guy in a fantasy world. 1677 01:48:10.359 --> 01:48:13.520 Like that's what I said. Hi, didn't Danny McBride make a movie 1678 01:48:13.600 --> 01:48:17.520 like that guy from like the Bronx that's been teleported. I'm gonna be like, 1679 01:48:17.600 --> 01:48:21.720 Oh, I'm just a shoe shiner in the oblivion or whatever. So 1680 01:48:21.760 --> 01:48:25.880 I kind of role play that way, and then I'm actually secretly also a 1681 01:48:25.960 --> 01:48:29.439 really good thief and I break into everyone's houses. And that's what I like 1682 01:48:29.520 --> 01:48:32.600 to do. I like movies and games where you're like a dude with guns 1683 01:48:32.640 --> 01:48:35.960 that goes back to fantasy times and you just kick everyone's ass, Like time 1684 01:48:36.000 --> 01:48:39.279 Cop has some of those dudes. That's cool, it's great. Yes, 1685 01:48:39.439 --> 01:48:42.640 yeah, yeah, you're like Bill and Ted's Adventure if they had oozies. 1686 01:48:43.079 --> 01:48:45.960 Yeah, yeah, or the Martin Lawrence two thousand and one movie Black Night 1687 01:48:46.359 --> 01:48:50.640 of course. Oh god was that? Yes, that's the most famous East 1688 01:48:50.720 --> 01:48:55.479 guy. That's where the term comes from. Army of Darkness. Darkness goes 1689 01:48:55.520 --> 01:48:58.359 back there with that boomstick and like that. That's that's great because he does 1690 01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:01.439 he calls some primitive screwhead's stuff and just like acts like their fucking cavemen and 1691 01:49:01.479 --> 01:49:03.720 it's like, yeah, it's just a bunch of skeletons and stuff and you're 1692 01:49:03.720 --> 01:49:08.039 just driving a car through them. Like that's ejectively good. Nin Ninja Turtles, 1693 01:49:08.279 --> 01:49:13.600 the three went back to like yeah, but three, yeah, and 1694 01:49:13.640 --> 01:49:16.439 the future it is always it's a fun thing when you take people from the 1695 01:49:16.479 --> 01:49:20.159 past to the current day in movies because it's always done just walking around, 1696 01:49:20.199 --> 01:49:23.800 you know, watching TV and like hockey and like are they in the box? 1697 01:49:23.840 --> 01:49:26.880 You know, that's always Joan of arc Aerobics Lesson, Yeah, exactly. 1698 01:49:27.000 --> 01:49:29.840 Yes, that's the point. Good point, that's good stuff. Grub 1699 01:49:29.920 --> 01:49:31.680 as the legal expert, here, where are the rights with Lord of the 1700 01:49:31.760 --> 01:49:35.479 Rings right now? For me to write a book within the Lord of the 1701 01:49:35.600 --> 01:49:42.960 Rings universe of a little hobbit training to be a boxer, so you would 1702 01:49:43.000 --> 01:49:45.199 have to like so Embracer has all of the rights for the Lord of the 1703 01:49:45.279 --> 01:49:49.960 Rings except for the rights to publish the actual books themselves, that's still with 1704 01:49:50.039 --> 01:49:54.920 the family, but but the IP rights overall are with Embracers to you. 1705 01:49:55.319 --> 01:49:59.039 So you have to go to Lars Wingo Firs, the CEO of Embracer Group, 1706 01:49:59.399 --> 01:50:01.520 and ask him Paristion to write a new book that would be under his 1707 01:50:01.600 --> 01:50:04.960 purview. All right, so spoilers make that happen. He's gall Im still 1708 01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:10.880 alive at the end of the third movie Volcano or something super duper in lava. 1709 01:50:11.039 --> 01:50:14.800 Yeah, yeah, he's the ring like goes right, it goes around 1710 01:50:14.840 --> 01:50:17.399 his finger and he melts in lava. And he was trying to grow the 1711 01:50:17.560 --> 01:50:24.039 terminator thrown in the volcano or was he trying to trying to volcano Froo through 1712 01:50:24.079 --> 01:50:25.840 in the volcano and he's trying to say, this is the movie. I 1713 01:50:25.880 --> 01:50:31.039 can't remember the book. It was a long time since I read it correct. 1714 01:50:31.119 --> 01:50:33.279 Yeah, okay, all right, because I was thinking he could be 1715 01:50:33.359 --> 01:50:38.279 like a Mickey type of coach characters. Oh, we should throw Mickey in 1716 01:50:38.560 --> 01:50:45.079 Mountain Doom as well. Yeah, that's like Roo looked like Rocky Okay, 1717 01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:48.960 ye sure, okay, yeah, yeah, No one's rooting for that guy. 1718 01:50:49.279 --> 01:50:53.279 No, Yeah, who do you have some people. Some people root 1719 01:50:53.359 --> 01:50:58.560 for he Also he beat glass Joe, so like I'd root for glass Joe 1720 01:50:58.600 --> 01:51:03.880 over Galim. Yes, uh that does for the newsboys, this shows back 1721 01:51:03.880 --> 01:51:09.159 over here. Maybe it just really like boxing. No, actual boxing is 1722 01:51:09.159 --> 01:51:13.119 boring, is no, no, no, the dramatized version of boxhoh, 1723 01:51:13.319 --> 01:51:18.119 punch out Rocky one or Tyson's fastenating. But like Tyson is not like actual 1724 01:51:18.199 --> 01:51:25.039 boxing. Tyson was a weird noma in history. Movies are great and you're 1725 01:51:25.279 --> 01:51:28.560 watching baseball is terrible. You're right, you're right. I think it's fine, 1726 01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:32.319 but it's not gonna fine baseball playoff Baseball is fine. Yeah, I'm 1727 01:51:32.359 --> 01:51:35.520 not gonna try to convince you Yetah, when it's October, baseball is exciting, 1728 01:51:35.720 --> 01:51:39.800 you know, Yeah, exactly, yes, exactly, Game four eighty 1729 01:51:39.880 --> 01:51:43.000 three, it's really a hoot. It's kind of messed up that you can 1730 01:51:43.039 --> 01:51:46.079 win that many games, the fuck up at the end. One game one 1731 01:51:46.399 --> 01:51:51.119 literally, one game playoff, that's all you get after one hundred and sixty 1732 01:51:51.199 --> 01:51:55.640 two games, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like it's half 1733 01:51:55.720 --> 01:51:59.760 so dumb. It's so dumb, and I love all these baseball weirdos defending 1734 01:51:59.800 --> 01:52:02.399 it. You're wrong, my Dad would play one hundred and sixty two game 1735 01:52:02.640 --> 01:52:06.840 seasons of Ken Griffey Jr. For s Ands and had binders filled with he 1736 01:52:08.000 --> 01:52:12.760 kept stats like you know, e Ar's and like what their batting average was 1737 01:52:12.840 --> 01:52:15.439 and stuff like that. And so he went through because they didn't have the 1738 01:52:15.439 --> 01:52:17.600 Players Association license in that game. But they have likenesses, so like David 1739 01:52:17.640 --> 01:52:20.560 Justice, Ron Gantt. They look like those guys and they have their stats, 1740 01:52:20.720 --> 01:52:24.640 but they're called like creamed corn or whatever, like fake names. And 1741 01:52:24.720 --> 01:52:29.439 so he went through. He renamed everyone in the MLB based on their likeness 1742 01:52:29.479 --> 01:52:31.960 and stats, played one hundreds I think several one hundred and sixty two game 1743 01:52:32.000 --> 01:52:39.960 seasons and kept fucking stats for the entire league that I yeah, like, 1744 01:52:40.439 --> 01:52:45.000 what are we doing he'd be very good at fantasy football. Yeah, yeah, 1745 01:52:45.720 --> 01:52:49.159 he's done all the work, all right, Yeah, rub is there 1746 01:52:49.199 --> 01:52:53.119 more news? No, I'm handing the ship back over to you. Here 1747 01:52:53.159 --> 01:52:56.359 it is, and I'm gonna we're gonna dust it off. So it's a 1748 01:52:56.399 --> 01:53:00.880 lot of dust here. Somehow we got into red dead redemption to need to 1749 01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:02.920 go wash it off. It's gonna take at least forty minutes, folks. 1750 01:53:03.000 --> 01:53:08.399 We'll be back shout outs. Yeah, we're just gonna give it a good 1751 01:53:08.399 --> 01:53:12.479 old tub bath. It's gonna be ten times longer than it needs to be. 1752 01:53:12.800 --> 01:53:19.800 Oh, I'm choping up my arm Beard Tarberculos, turn this knob very 1753 01:53:19.880 --> 01:53:29.039 slowly. Little Left BombCast a giant bomb. Dot com is the email address 1754 01:53:29.640 --> 01:53:34.000 to send your emails into the show dot com. Uh, if you have 1755 01:53:34.079 --> 01:53:40.199 any tips to train for dodgeball, I will I will gladly take any and 1756 01:53:40.279 --> 01:53:44.600 all of them. I don't know how you get good at dodgeball? Do 1757 01:53:44.640 --> 01:53:46.920 you do? I just have people throw things at me. You Here, 1758 01:53:47.039 --> 01:53:51.800 here's my theory about a way to get pretty much a decent level at any 1759 01:53:51.920 --> 01:53:56.960 sport, and it's called play the video game Dance Dance Revolution. Because so 1760 01:53:57.079 --> 01:54:00.000 much of sports is footwork that if you can get decent Dance Dance Revolution, 1761 01:54:00.039 --> 01:54:02.439 you're gonna be able to move really well and about any game. If I 1762 01:54:02.600 --> 01:54:06.439 was like in the NFL, I would have every quarterback playing Dance Dance Revolution 1763 01:54:06.560 --> 01:54:11.600 every day. I'm gon get more prove them. For Jan's purposes. I 1764 01:54:11.640 --> 01:54:14.920 want to get more specific with hook up a connect. They're very cheap to 1765 01:54:14.960 --> 01:54:17.079 find. Just look on like Facebook, Marketplace and there's a game called Hole 1766 01:54:17.159 --> 01:54:20.640 in the Wall that is all about stuff is flying at you and you got 1767 01:54:20.840 --> 01:54:26.000 like dodge in particular ways. So I think for specific dodging purposes, I 1768 01:54:26.039 --> 01:54:27.960 would say that. But but Grub is also right if you can do it 1769 01:54:28.000 --> 01:54:31.039 simultaneously, like if you had a DDR running on one screen and then you 1770 01:54:31.119 --> 01:54:33.760 had Hole in the Wall on the other. That sounds like a fun stream. 1771 01:54:34.800 --> 01:54:38.960 We should we should find a connect for Game of the Year. We 1772 01:54:39.079 --> 01:54:41.800 should back on what's there we can get for a Game of the Year. 1773 01:54:41.800 --> 01:54:45.079 Could we just make a physical hole in the wall, like like a wipe 1774 01:54:45.119 --> 01:54:50.720 out game? How hard I had boxing loves on springs. We can do 1775 01:54:50.840 --> 01:54:55.359 that. Yeah you know what, I bet you. Emma already has all 1776 01:54:55.399 --> 01:54:59.359 of those things. Yeah, she's got storage. Yeah yeah. Uh. 1777 01:54:59.479 --> 01:55:02.119 Bomb care the Giant bomb dot com is an email addressed to send emails too 1778 01:55:02.680 --> 01:55:06.720 right into the show about virtually any and everything and maybe we'll read it on 1779 01:55:06.840 --> 01:55:15.039 the show. First email comes from Ronnie. So is glass Joe from punch 1780 01:55:15.079 --> 01:55:18.319 Out a pun on glass Jaw. I'm an idiot and just got my phoenix 1781 01:55:18.359 --> 01:55:23.319 down moment love the show, Ronnie. I never considered that. I always 1782 01:55:23.359 --> 01:55:26.039 thought it was like, hey, is glass, Like he's like a skeleton 1783 01:55:26.119 --> 01:55:29.159 of his glass, Like he's a weak man, Like that's a break like 1784 01:55:29.279 --> 01:55:32.039 glass, Like yeah, I think glass. I'm saying it's like glass jaw 1785 01:55:32.319 --> 01:55:38.439 like that. Sure that that? Yeah? Yeah, maybe so he's more 1786 01:55:38.600 --> 01:55:43.319 like glass like Samuel L. Jackson in the movie Glass and Unbreakable. Right, 1787 01:55:44.600 --> 01:55:46.720 I saw that, But I've heard good things like Split is good. 1788 01:55:47.319 --> 01:55:49.880 Split. Yeah, heard heard that. It's a lot of fun, even 1789 01:55:49.920 --> 01:55:54.399 if you know the the twist at the end, because it's like, oh 1790 01:55:54.479 --> 01:55:56.640 my god, I can't believe this is that. Yeah, I know the 1791 01:55:56.640 --> 01:56:00.920 twist on both those. Yeah, back Glass, you had sound like you 1792 01:56:00.000 --> 01:56:02.680 had a moment of realization. No, I have a moment of realization of 1793 01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:08.159 like I always meant to watch that one got real mad at him as a 1794 01:56:08.239 --> 01:56:13.039 person for many years, which one Shamalan being oh yeah, oh yeah, 1795 01:56:13.520 --> 01:56:16.800 angry with him. The Village. Yeah, but I just think you do 1796 01:56:16.920 --> 01:56:18.720 better. Is that what it was? You're like, yeah, like, 1797 01:56:19.159 --> 01:56:21.560 yeah, I've got this joke about him, or like I just like I 1798 01:56:23.520 --> 01:56:26.920 just think like movies like The Village was him like getting back at like enemies 1799 01:56:26.960 --> 01:56:30.079 he made in high school or something like I just think like you just like 1800 01:56:31.239 --> 01:56:34.000 I like it, yeah, really like yeah, because it's like I read 1801 01:56:34.039 --> 01:56:39.920 it as like a a fable about like society using fear to keep people in 1802 01:56:40.039 --> 01:56:43.880 line. It's like sure, sure, I mean yeah, maybe that's aging 1803 01:56:43.920 --> 01:56:47.920 a little better than anticipated. I still didn't get happening. I didn't need 1804 01:56:47.960 --> 01:56:50.399 it to be anything more than that. I never said I think when I 1805 01:56:50.479 --> 01:56:54.800 read about the happening, and that sounds like way worse the happening is is 1806 01:56:54.880 --> 01:57:00.159 fucked up? I think, uh, And then Signs. I I know 1807 01:57:00.239 --> 01:57:06.399 people like signs thing about that movie that's your Birthday found footage stuff and like 1808 01:57:06.520 --> 01:57:12.680 that's it. Everything is so charismatic. Yeah, Joe Phoenix is really good 1809 01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:18.039 in that too. His gasp at what he sees in the birthday party footage 1810 01:57:18.079 --> 01:57:21.279 is very well executed. Others than that, that movie can go straight there. 1811 01:57:21.600 --> 01:57:24.800 Signs in the theater like I'm not gonna defend, Like the ending gets 1812 01:57:24.880 --> 01:57:28.000 kind of lame, but like that movie theater experience that when it came out 1813 01:57:28.439 --> 01:57:31.720 full theater, everyone just superhots every single like there's a lot of tension. 1814 01:57:32.319 --> 01:57:36.079 The Birthday seen as a classic until the ending. It was like one of 1815 01:57:36.159 --> 01:57:47.039 my favorite movie theater experiences. Yeah, I like old yes, all right. 1816 01:57:47.359 --> 01:57:54.239 Next email comes from Corey. Do you remember when Alvin and the Chipmunks 1817 01:57:54.319 --> 01:57:58.720 helped knock down the Berlin Wall? Thank you Corey from Abbotsford, British Columbia, 1818 01:57:58.800 --> 01:58:01.800 Canada. There's something about this. I don't remember exactly what the details 1819 01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:06.680 are. I was I was too young to pay attention to that going on. 1820 01:58:08.000 --> 01:58:10.520 We were all too young, isn't it. I mean I remember seeing 1821 01:58:10.600 --> 01:58:13.239 on the news and like being a big deal and my parents having it on. 1822 01:58:13.840 --> 01:58:15.439 You don't remember like the context of it, like yeah, yeah, 1823 01:58:15.439 --> 01:58:19.720 I mean I still don't. You just remember like a graffitied wall. Yeah 1824 01:58:19.840 --> 01:58:25.600 there, it's like old powers, like we're coming down. I mean I 1825 01:58:25.880 --> 01:58:29.079 knew that much, but like, yeah, the details of course not or 1826 01:58:29.199 --> 01:58:30.319 was it a Cold War thing or was it? It was like the wall 1827 01:58:30.359 --> 01:58:33.600 went up after like World War two, right, so like went up to 1828 01:58:33.680 --> 01:58:39.359 keep East Germany and West Germany separate, and East Germany was Russia's and West 1829 01:58:39.439 --> 01:58:43.119 Germany was it's it's Germany, but it's you know, the Allied Powers, 1830 01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:45.039 and so it's like we're gonna split up this country so that it's like this 1831 01:58:45.239 --> 01:58:49.520 neutral thing where it's like Russia or America don't get too much power, and 1832 01:58:49.560 --> 01:58:51.880 this thing can be this thing in the middle. But it was a result 1833 01:58:51.960 --> 01:58:54.560 of World War two being like, hey, you don't get to be a 1834 01:58:54.600 --> 01:58:57.079 country no more, and then we're gonna make you these other things. Okay, 1835 01:58:57.279 --> 01:58:59.720 yeah, yeah. And then then then there was a wall between the 1836 01:58:59.720 --> 01:59:02.279 country, and like East Germany was very locked down and everyone was spying on 1837 01:59:02.359 --> 01:59:05.880 each other, and West Germany was this, you know, free enterprise country 1838 01:59:05.920 --> 01:59:09.439 where people could do whatever they want. A lot of people try to get 1839 01:59:09.439 --> 01:59:12.520 from East Germany to West Germany. And then as the economy broke down in 1840 01:59:12.560 --> 01:59:15.000 the Soviet Union that that hurt the East Germany and then they have the wall 1841 01:59:15.039 --> 01:59:18.079 king down. So how do I don't remember how Alvin comes into play? 1842 01:59:18.239 --> 01:59:21.880 Okay, I was gonna ask, Yeah, I bet, I wonder is 1843 01:59:21.960 --> 01:59:27.880 anyone No one in any chat seems to know either. I thought this was 1844 01:59:27.960 --> 01:59:31.399 one of those things where Alvin and the Chipmunks helped retail history or something like 1845 01:59:32.319 --> 01:59:38.199 they went the gorbey. Okay, I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks tear down 1846 01:59:38.199 --> 01:59:43.119 the Berlin Wall with the power of Rock twenty five anniversary At the beginning of 1847 01:59:43.159 --> 01:59:45.520 the fall of the Berlin Wall was Sunday. But did you know, Alvin 1848 01:59:45.560 --> 01:59:48.720 the Chipmunks actually predicted the fall of the Wall one year prior. You can 1849 01:59:48.760 --> 01:59:53.319 watch the video where the chipmunks destroy the wall through the power of rocking out 1850 01:59:53.560 --> 01:59:56.720 above and doing so they help a little girl reunite with the rest of her 1851 01:59:56.760 --> 02:00:01.479 family. Blah blah blah. So there's also rumors that the CIA wrote like 1852 02:00:01.840 --> 02:00:09.039 the Winds of Change, this like rock ballad from a Scorpion. Yes, 1853 02:00:09.119 --> 02:00:12.760 the let CIA wrote the Winds of Change for Scorpion as like an effort to 1854 02:00:13.239 --> 02:00:16.520 bring down communism and and bring down the browin Wall. What. Yeah, 1855 02:00:16.760 --> 02:00:19.880 there's a whole podcast series about it. They were never able to fully prove 1856 02:00:19.920 --> 02:00:25.159 it since one of those like fun conspiracy theories, it's almost certainly not true. 1857 02:00:25.800 --> 02:00:28.479 Yeah, that's what they all used to be everyone. They used to 1858 02:00:28.640 --> 02:00:30.920 just be fun. They used to be fun. Yeah, the jesse Ventura 1859 02:00:31.039 --> 02:00:38.279 level of conspiracy. Yes, the moon was cheese back then, it was 1860 02:00:38.399 --> 02:00:42.079 great. Yes, the good ones, which I'll say it now on here. 1861 02:00:42.520 --> 02:00:45.279 Jesse Ventura doesn't live too far from me. If anyone knows how to 1862 02:00:45.319 --> 02:00:47.199 get ahold of jesse Ventura let's bring him on the dump truck. Yes, 1863 02:00:47.640 --> 02:00:54.000 I want to come to my house by yourself. Dude. He was he 1864 02:00:54.199 --> 02:00:56.960 was trying to get the union going and Hook fucking screwed up. Yeah, 1865 02:00:57.000 --> 02:01:00.239 Hook fuck o. Jesse's a big reason why weird's legal here in out. 1866 02:01:00.359 --> 02:01:02.560 Like, yes, let's bring vent Hero on the dump truck. Okay, 1867 02:01:02.720 --> 02:01:05.439 all right, I can get down with us, maybe, yes, but 1868 02:01:05.600 --> 02:01:10.319 in a good way. I can't get on the door with that. Like, 1869 02:01:11.039 --> 02:01:15.239 we have to make space for the good weirdos. So we take it 1870 02:01:15.279 --> 02:01:18.239 over by the terror I'm looking at one. Okay, we have which one 1871 02:01:18.279 --> 02:01:25.560 of us, three of us game, we're gonna bring in her on. 1872 02:01:25.600 --> 02:01:28.800 We're all gonna do edibles, and we're gonna do the dump truck. Let's 1873 02:01:28.840 --> 02:01:36.760 do it that. Uh uh. Maybe we should weaponize the chipmunks again, 1874 02:01:38.199 --> 02:01:41.119 you know, maybe that's what's missing from society. It's about time we stuffed 1875 02:01:41.119 --> 02:01:45.119 them into missiles and sent them across the ocean. No, I'm telling you 1876 02:01:45.239 --> 02:01:50.119 all because I learned here. I learned a lot about like pop culture because 1877 02:01:50.159 --> 02:01:54.119 of the Chipmunks. Like I didn't know who Elton John was, but then 1878 02:01:54.119 --> 02:01:59.720 I watched the Elton John Special, the chipmunks did, so let's weaponize chipmunks, 1879 02:02:00.039 --> 02:02:03.000 do it. I've always despised the chipmunks their voices. Is it because 1880 02:02:03.000 --> 02:02:08.359 you could never rock a hula hoop? No, it's not that, I 1881 02:02:08.520 --> 02:02:11.680 just there. It's their voices. Man, It's just like crawls in my 1882 02:02:11.840 --> 02:02:15.640 ear in a weird way, and I'm just like, I can't I get 1883 02:02:15.720 --> 02:02:17.680 that. Like pain in the year, they sure, they just suck. 1884 02:02:17.800 --> 02:02:23.680 They just suck. Sorry. I like Chip and Dale. I know they're 1885 02:02:23.720 --> 02:02:26.399 not like the same thing. All right, Well, those those those chipmunks 1886 02:02:26.399 --> 02:02:30.359 are cool. We can't agree they're cool. Chipmunks are not cool. Chip 1887 02:02:30.479 --> 02:02:42.720 and Dale cool. Next email comes from Kevin from Queens. Hello, Bomb 1888 02:02:42.840 --> 02:02:46.479 crew, What is the most forgotten TV show? I'm looking specifically for the 1889 02:02:46.600 --> 02:02:51.079 ratio between how big it was at its prime and how erased it is from 1890 02:02:51.119 --> 02:02:55.920 pop culture. I thought about this question when Ally McBeal popped into my head. 1891 02:02:56.199 --> 02:03:00.760 My wife. My wife also submits Will and Grace. Thanks, Ken, 1892 02:03:01.039 --> 02:03:05.920 Hiller and Diller. What what's that? Kevin Nalen and Richard Lewis they 1893 02:03:06.039 --> 02:03:09.640 like lived together, and I think Richard Lewis was like a neurotic priest. 1894 02:03:09.760 --> 02:03:13.560 It was not popular, there's everyone was talking about Hiller and Diller. I 1895 02:03:14.199 --> 02:03:16.479 refused to believe that was popular. The Will and Grace things wrong because that 1896 02:03:16.760 --> 02:03:21.319 show was famously huge, and also people still talk about doctor Ryan says Herman's 1897 02:03:21.319 --> 02:03:29.000 Head. I remember Herman's Head, right, yep. When I read this 1898 02:03:29.079 --> 02:03:32.239 email, originally I yelled Becker at my computer. But I don't think Becker 1899 02:03:32.600 --> 02:03:36.319 occupied the mind space outside of just me. But mantis, do you remember 1900 02:03:36.359 --> 02:03:42.359 that show about the guy that had like a cyborg suit? No? I 1901 02:03:42.399 --> 02:03:46.880 apparently I just watch Roundhouse. Sure, I like that. Maybe you can't 1902 02:03:46.880 --> 02:03:50.600 do that on television. People remember you can't do that on television? Sure? 1903 02:03:51.039 --> 02:03:57.199 Yeah, yeah, I mean this is almost everybody loves Raymond. No 1904 02:03:57.439 --> 02:04:00.680 that was you know, I know it's big, but like no one talks 1905 02:04:00.680 --> 02:04:05.399 about it prime and forgotten now. I think people gotten now though I don't 1906 02:04:05.439 --> 02:04:12.960 think that rerun show like okay, okay, yeah, Big Indication run Okay. 1907 02:04:13.119 --> 02:04:19.079 Well, I wish really Expo, Spin City, Spin City that it 1908 02:04:19.319 --> 02:04:25.560 was. I don't think this is an answerable question really, right, because 1909 02:04:25.600 --> 02:04:30.840 like everything like Northern Exposure is the right answer. That was on. Bred 1910 02:04:30.880 --> 02:04:34.520 Hart was on that, right. I think bred Hart was on northern sounds. 1911 02:04:34.640 --> 02:04:39.439 Right, yeah, was huge at the time, and I never hear 1912 02:04:39.439 --> 02:04:44.600 anyone about I take it back, that is right. Other Uh well, 1913 02:04:45.039 --> 02:04:48.439 I would have said this maybe a week ago, but now Kevin James is 1914 02:04:48.479 --> 02:04:53.720 boosted in the meme economy, I would have said King of Queens. Yeah, 1915 02:04:54.560 --> 02:04:59.520 what's something like Queen's Knockoffs? At the time, Uh, what's the 1916 02:04:59.640 --> 02:05:01.359 there was one? What's the one? That was the how I let your 1917 02:05:01.399 --> 02:05:05.760 mother knock off the head David Spade and uh not just shoot me? Right? 1918 02:05:06.039 --> 02:05:10.199 No? No, no, it was after after just shoot me because 1919 02:05:10.279 --> 02:05:14.680 David Spade played the Neil Patrick Harris equivalent. Oh, it was with Patrick 1920 02:05:14.760 --> 02:05:17.279 Warburton. Yes, the Rules of Engagement. Yes, yes, that's that 1921 02:05:17.479 --> 02:05:24.680 was like it had several seasons. Was very head zero cultural footprint. Ye, 1922 02:05:25.079 --> 02:05:30.760 Grace under Fire? What is that with Grace? Yeah, but it 1923 02:05:30.880 --> 02:05:31.800 was God. I think Norm wrote on it for a little bit. No, 1924 02:05:31.880 --> 02:05:34.920 he wrote on Roseanne. Uh no, it's Grace Butler. I think 1925 02:05:34.960 --> 02:05:38.520 it was her name. Grace under Fire was big Grace Butler. Yes, 1926 02:05:39.000 --> 02:05:42.640 yes, yeah, right, yeah, someone put all of us into a 1927 02:05:42.720 --> 02:05:45.039 sitcom, we'd be fantastic. Carol my god, oh yeah, yeah. 1928 02:05:45.399 --> 02:05:49.399 The thing is we're all the side characters. Is the Caroline Caroline in the 1929 02:05:49.479 --> 02:05:53.560 City, Yes, is a good one? What was the one that Brooke 1930 02:05:53.600 --> 02:05:59.039 Shields was on? It was a primetime comedy brook Oh God, like ninety 1931 02:05:59.039 --> 02:06:01.319 six ninety seven? What the this can drive me nuts? It was big. 1932 02:06:01.439 --> 02:06:05.760 It was on the cover like Entertainment Weekly and stuff. Jesus, I 1933 02:06:05.800 --> 02:06:12.039 don't remember. What about like a spin off of like an existing one show 1934 02:06:12.199 --> 02:06:16.359 like Saved by the Bell, the College here suddenly Susan Suddenly Susankay. Yes 1935 02:06:18.000 --> 02:06:21.199 is a good one. Yeah, that's the one that used to be really 1936 02:06:21.239 --> 02:06:25.600 big and none of us remembered it existed. What a What a weird little 1937 02:06:25.760 --> 02:06:32.279 slot we've found ourselves in here. We should rate all the sitcoms, whether 1938 02:06:32.479 --> 02:06:36.680 or not we've seen the Oh yeah, that doesn't matter. Man about You 1939 02:06:36.880 --> 02:06:41.560 is also a good one. I think what sitcoms and what TV shows pop 1940 02:06:41.680 --> 02:06:43.640 up when you guys are waiting. And I know some of you who don't 1941 02:06:43.720 --> 02:06:46.319 use TikTok, but for TikTok, it's like all of the USA shows are 1942 02:06:46.359 --> 02:06:49.479 still very big. So Suits I get. I've like basically watched all of 1943 02:06:49.560 --> 02:06:54.279 Suits, even though I've never watched an episode of Suits because every single scene 1944 02:06:54.439 --> 02:06:57.600 is on TikTok and it just places for me shouts out to my psychos. 1945 02:06:58.600 --> 02:07:00.239 Yeah there you go, Yes, psych as well. I get some of 1946 02:07:00.279 --> 02:07:04.359 that. I don't know some of these shows just live on that way. 1947 02:07:04.560 --> 02:07:10.520 My my, my old roommate from college went to work on psych Happy Endings 1948 02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:14.000 and was the executive producer of the Big Show Show. So I think he 1949 02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:19.079 is like a veteran of working on those shows. That's awesome. God remember 1950 02:07:19.159 --> 02:07:26.159 Burn Notice? Yeah, I'm ever see ads for Burn? Notice I do. 1951 02:07:27.800 --> 02:07:30.760 There's a lot of stuff on Suits or on a USA. I feel 1952 02:07:30.760 --> 02:07:33.680 like there's so many silk stockings or B and E and all these shows that 1953 02:07:33.680 --> 02:07:39.880 would get average duck man. You know so much duck man. A lot 1954 02:07:40.880 --> 02:07:45.479 is Veronica's closet. I think that was Kirsty alle Okay, Yeah, Like 1955 02:07:46.039 --> 02:07:49.479 what's weird to me is like Stars is still a thing and still has like 1956 02:07:49.600 --> 02:07:59.159 TV shows. Yeah, yeah, they canceled TV shows the same. Like 1957 02:07:59.279 --> 02:08:03.439 PowerBook for Colon Force is a show on Stars. Right now? Could you 1958 02:08:03.920 --> 02:08:09.479 say that what is PowerBook for? I would star power for whatever? You 1959 02:08:09.600 --> 02:08:15.840 just said, it's Power season? Is it? Like? Is it IV 1960 02:08:16.399 --> 02:08:22.199 or is it like the four Yes Ivy, it's like the yeah you guys 1961 02:08:22.199 --> 02:08:24.680 ever seen like commercials for this or like that show Animal Kingdom? Uh, 1962 02:08:26.359 --> 02:08:30.560 kind of a white trash crime show. No, no, yeah, all 1963 02:08:30.600 --> 02:08:33.000 these things are still happening. It's so weird that a lot of anyone who 1964 02:08:33.039 --> 02:08:39.560 watches this stuff yeah yeah yeah. That is the one thing where like I'll 1965 02:08:39.640 --> 02:08:41.039 hear people I'll be like, oh, what are you watching? Someone will 1966 02:08:41.039 --> 02:08:46.640 say like the thing I've literally never heard of, and I'm just like where's 1967 02:08:46.680 --> 02:08:48.720 that? Like, no, no, it's on Netflix, Like are like 1968 02:08:48.800 --> 02:08:52.000 obsessed with the show I've maybe like a Blacklist It's the best show of all 1969 02:08:52.039 --> 02:08:58.319 time. It's like what I feel like, I hear shows spoken that I 1970 02:08:58.560 --> 02:09:05.560 literally never even heard of. Noting about do you remember Jay Moore the action? 1971 02:09:05.800 --> 02:09:07.439 It was on Fox. They would advertise it on The Simpsons all the 1972 02:09:07.479 --> 02:09:16.680 time. He was like a Hollywood executive or something. Nasty McNasty man. 1973 02:09:16.239 --> 02:09:22.880 Someone in the chat here put remember Emerald Lagassi's sitcom what Yes? What No? 1974 02:09:24.600 --> 02:09:31.279 That was called Emerald Oh what? McDonald sitcoms?

Tracy Morgan had one for a 1977 02:09:41.680 --> 02:09:43.840 little bit. I feel like just about anyone that was ever on S and 1978 02:09:43.960 --> 02:09:50.680 L did.

We just keep 1982 02:10:00.279 --> 02:10:07.720 breaking in. We each have our own individual chimes squatters. Yeah, yeah, 1983 02:10:07.760 --> 02:10:09.279 it's all of us leaning on someone, but there's no one there. 1984 02:10:11.279 --> 02:10:18.640 Milk crates. Yeah, uh, all right. Last email of the show. 1985 02:10:20.119 --> 02:10:26.399 Last email the show comes from Colin. Colin writes in subject title red 1986 02:10:26.520 --> 02:10:31.800 sleeping with y'all, Hey bombers the back of back Lars, objectively wrong opinion 1987 02:10:31.920 --> 02:10:35.800 on naps. I thought he should know that. I'll often take a twenty 1988 02:10:35.840 --> 02:10:41.520 minute nap schnooze with a GB podcast going softly because it helps me zonk out 1989 02:10:41.640 --> 02:10:46.279 but not fall too deep asleep. So best believe you're so you best start 1990 02:10:46.359 --> 02:10:52.600 believing in naps, Jeff, You're in one, sweet dreams Colin. That's 1991 02:10:52.640 --> 02:10:54.159 cool, though? Is it cool to be trapped? In someone's nap. 1992 02:10:54.239 --> 02:10:58.960 That's terrifying. I'm fine. Yeah, I'm gonna mind haunting a good haunting. 1993 02:10:58.199 --> 02:11:01.640 Even if someone doesn't like me, I'm occupying their mindspace still, So 1994 02:11:01.760 --> 02:11:05.840 that's cool.

I 2005 02:11:50.800 --> 02:11:52.119 had a dream where I had a sandwich and later that day I bought a 2006 02:11:52.199 --> 02:11:56.520 sandwich. So okay, that's dream coming true. There you go. All 2007 02:11:56.640 --> 02:12:01.560 right, let's get to the shout out. Its limiting it to It's However, 2008 02:12:01.640 --> 02:12:05.640 many y'all decided there's three really long ones, and I hate whoever did 2009 02:12:05.680 --> 02:12:07.960 them. Shouts out to the people of Hawaii, Hawaii, Joe and Crew, 2010 02:12:09.159 --> 02:12:11.359 Goum and the Psychos. Now Dan. At this point at the podcast, 2011 02:12:11.560 --> 02:12:16.640 who do you think knows Bruce Wayne is Batman? Let's give a quick 2012 02:12:16.640 --> 02:12:20.359 shout out to Christine. I know what's happening. Okay, Okay, Yes, 2013 02:12:20.840 --> 02:12:24.520 I watched Batman Forever and Batman and Robin both last weekend, and in 2014 02:12:24.640 --> 02:12:30.079 both movies at all times I was very confused at like who knew that Bruce 2015 02:12:30.079 --> 02:12:33.840 Wayne was shooting Batman? And like, oh, I guess, so I 2016 02:12:33.880 --> 02:12:37.359 guess throughout Batman FI like Alfred usually knows. Right, yes, of course, 2017 02:12:37.640 --> 02:12:41.560 Robin figures it out, and then like bad guys like a Riddler and 2018 02:12:41.680 --> 02:12:45.039 two Faced both figure it out at the end of that movie. So it's 2019 02:12:45.039 --> 02:12:46.640 like, I feel like the jig is up at a certain point here, 2020 02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:48.800 right, Like I feel like enough people know who Batman is that he can't 2021 02:12:48.800 --> 02:12:54.439 actually like Kae people, Well, it's it's because that Dan. That movie 2022 02:12:54.479 --> 02:13:00.279 doesn't matter. Uh, that movie garbage. It's a lot of dishwarers based 2023 02:13:00.319 --> 02:13:07.039 on that movie. I'm sorry, point exactly. I've ever heard dan my 2024 02:13:07.159 --> 02:13:13.000 poorn exactly. Yes, signed guy. Batman Forever is definitively and empirically not 2025 02:13:13.279 --> 02:13:16.279 important. Also, I will say this, and I tweeted this, but 2026 02:13:16.520 --> 02:13:18.640 Batman and Robin, you watch them both now. I know this sounds nuts 2027 02:13:18.840 --> 02:13:22.760 because of the way it was considered back then, Batman and Robin is way 2028 02:13:24.000 --> 02:13:26.800 more fun to watch than Batman Forever. I still like Batman Forever. I 2029 02:13:26.840 --> 02:13:31.680 got a lot of nostalgia there. Jim Carrey's really going for it. Tommy 2030 02:13:31.760 --> 02:13:35.479 Lee Jones also he's doing something. Batman and Robin is fucking hilarious. And 2031 02:13:35.640 --> 02:13:39.199 to watch it now, realizing it is like more of an homage to the 2032 02:13:39.239 --> 02:13:41.479 sixty six Batman than it is trying to be like, you know, weird 2033 02:13:41.600 --> 02:13:46.000 dark Tim Burton stuff and certainly not Nolan stuff, it is so much fun. 2034 02:13:46.279 --> 02:13:48.720 Schwarzenegger's great, uma Thurman's amazing in it. Like I remember it, 2035 02:13:48.840 --> 02:13:54.199 I remember laughing at how goofy mister freezes and stuff. It's funnier now. 2036 02:13:54.319 --> 02:13:56.680 It is a genuinely fun watch now. I get I get mad when I'm 2037 02:13:56.680 --> 02:14:00.239 watching like a DC movie and they're like, hey, this bad guy it's 2038 02:14:00.239 --> 02:14:03.359 called the Riddler. His real name is ed Nigma, like Nima. Oh 2039 02:14:03.439 --> 02:14:07.560 my god, you guys fucking stop with that. Yea. So he was 2040 02:14:07.560 --> 02:14:11.239 also like nineteen thirty I know, yeah, like thirties people, so goddamn 2041 02:14:11.359 --> 02:14:15.439 stupid. You know. They were playing with like, you know, sticking 2042 02:14:15.479 --> 02:14:18.399 a ball or something like that. Yeah, they got grounded for two weeks, 2043 02:14:18.439 --> 02:14:20.640 couldn't play video. They're like, they have the depression. The only 2044 02:14:20.640 --> 02:14:26.560 thing that get They were constantly thinking of the Roman Empire. Yeah, is 2045 02:14:26.640 --> 02:14:28.000 it our turned now? All right, let's give a quick shout out to 2046 02:14:28.079 --> 02:14:31.800 Christina Applegate.
