00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:26,800
M. Tuesday, February the twenty
second, twenty sixteen. That's the day

2
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:31,399
today. It's the Giant Bondcast.
It's a podcast, Hello starring us.

3
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,399
Hello, Hi is twenty s wave
to? Isn't really know it's the twenty

4
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,159
third. Probably we should probably do
that again. Hang on to that.

5
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,600
Yes, it's the twenty third,
twenty third? Should we start over?

6
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:47,960
No moment of decision? Man through? Okay, fine, hello, Hi,

7
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,280
we need to live with our mistakes. This is This is the run

8
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:55,240
in like a video a hard video
game where you die or you get hit

9
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,320
like immediately, and then it's like
if that one didn't count, that one

10
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:02,240
didn't count, or like a this
run is just an exploratory run, and

11
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,159
then that becomes your high score.
Oh wow, Yeah, unless you're playing

12
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:07,560
a game where you can only get
hit once. Who would do that?

13
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,319
I don't know what game. You're
easy people would do that, I don't

14
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,920
know. Sounds like a bad video
game. Oh boy, people have three

15
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,760
lives. I put in a quarter, I get three lives. That's how

16
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:21,439
this works. Start with what Yeah, that sounds like a rip off.

17
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:23,319
That sounds like they set the dip
switches to rip me off. Rip someone

18
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:26,640
off five bucks, which you could
match the R key and skip having to

19
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,359
mouse over to retry. Oh really, yeah, I just learned that too.

20
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,799
That I just, I just I
just gave Dan an education a few

21
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:36,920
minutes ago. All Right, it's
better than me at that game that we

22
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,359
haven't said the name of yet,
Devil Daggers. Devil Daggers, that's a

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,200
devilish move. I pushed too for
us to go record the quick look for

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,560
that right before this, because I
needed to play a little Devil Daggers before

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,519
we need before we talked about it
before we came in here. It's so

26
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,760
good. I suck so bad at
it, but I can't decide if I

27
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,120
like it or not. You like
it, I kind of hate it.

28
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:01,719
Do you do things you don't?
I've never seen you more exciting to record

29
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:07,719
it quickly constantly. It's the theme
of mine. Uh yeah, that game's

30
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,800
good. I think you're right.
Yeah, I uh oh, we're talking

31
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,479
about Devil Daggers. Yeah. Oh
my god, wow, it just got

32
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,159
very not gonna play on an audio
podcast. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna

33
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:23,719
take a picture of this and post
it to the Giant Bomb Instagram account.

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,599
Yeah, it's gonna go up on
the gram. Oh yeah wow, so

35
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,560
h I guess which is our the
it's giant bomb dot com I'll spelled out

36
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:39,159
yeah doo tcom. It's very red
in here. Yeah, it's Coolna,

37
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:45,120
it's it's pretty cool. It's it's
hellish. Yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely,

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,639
yeah, we're developing fucking photos in
here. It's very much like a

39
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:53,599
darker room and heard. My point
of reference is a submarine. Okay,

40
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:55,520
okay, yeah yeah. When you
go to battlestations, everything's red, gotcha,

41
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,400
It's like a red alert exactly.
That's why they called it red October,

42
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:00,800
right, because it was just red
inside the because it reds the color

43
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,639
of the Soviet Yet, no,
you never know with you Dan record,

44
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:09,199
you know why submarines are red inside? Why to preserve your night vision?

45
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:14,319
Because the guys, your pupils from
doing the things like the cati thing.

46
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,639
U don't cats see in the dark
because they are their eyes like super dialate,

47
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,000
don't dilate or something. Why would
you need night vision? You just

48
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,280
turn the lights ones in case the
lights going you not when you go upstairs

49
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:30,479
to the conning tower and look for
ships. The periscope, uh, the

50
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,479
periscope right, because that's looking out
on the real world, I guess.

51
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,159
Yeah. But then there's actual windows
too, like a windshield. Right,

52
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:40,199
there's no windows. No, I
don't know if you're kidding with me.

53
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,840
It's right next to the screen door. Yeah, okay, oh no,

54
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,639
I know that's fair. There's no
there are no longer portholes on submarines.

55
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,599
Do they burst at certain pressures.
I just watched the deep Sea episode of

56
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:53,719
Planet Earth, and I know there's
some creepy stuff down there. There is

57
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:58,360
some creepy stuff, true, ye, squid and bottom feeders. You know

58
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,599
you're close to the bottom. Have
you seen the vampire squid from Hell?

59
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,199
What? Planet Earth? Have you
guys seen a planet of Earth? No,

60
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:06,120
it's the best thing, not really
so good. I've seen them all

61
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,759
like three or four times. And
watch some of Richard Attonborough type shit or

62
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,360
what it is Richard Atonborough. It's
BBC perfect. Yeah, Well it's Sigourney

63
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,879
Weaver if it's the American Discovery Channel, right, Yes? Is it is?

64
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:17,839
It? Is it? They just
redub it with Sigourney Weavers. Yeah,

65
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:20,040
but it's exactly the same. Yeah. Yes, I watched it on

66
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:24,000
when it aired with Signey Weaver and
then on the Blue with Richardtonborough. I

67
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,120
don't know, it was great.
I prefer the BBC version, did I

68
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Did I see right before we came
in here and they just announced another run

69
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,959
of that thing? Serious swear the
planet Earth would be still around. There's

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,279
still a planet of Earth. So
I have to more years to make I

71
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:38,720
have to I have to look this
up now what's changed since then? They

72
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,759
could do one more, but guy, I had to sit and where was

73
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,560
it? Where's the where's the the
snow leopard Siberia? Oh yeah, there's

74
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,240
only like forty of them, Like
there's something. We would sat on the

75
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,439
side of a mountain like six months
looking for a snow leopard. It's like

76
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,160
there I have to kill. I
have to kill six of those so that

77
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:00,040
I can carry more spears. Well
in ten thousand BC. Yeah more,

78
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Yes, they just announced the planet
isn't just started yesterday. This is actually

79
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:12,519
about Earth too. Yeah, Heart
will be hosting this one, okay,

80
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,199
uh no? Yeah? David David
Attenborough David Attenborough is fully on board with

81
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,319
this. Is he brothers with the
other one because I was constantly confusing that

82
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,199
guy with the Drastic Park guy.
But he's dead Drastic Park Guy's debt.

83
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:26,560
Yes, but they are brothers.
Oh, I didn't know that. I

84
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,560
think it wasn't it, David No. I looked it up yesterday because I

85
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,279
was wondering if it was the Drastic
Park Guy and it's not. It's another

86
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,319
like Super Owl British Now he's eighty
nine. Yeah, yeah, new new

87
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:44,920
six episode series Sex. Later this
year, Fantastic Fantastic randomly started watching that

88
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,959
the yesterday. There you go,
Oh, I've been to Planet Earth.

89
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,879
I should watch that. Yeah.
They talk about like good restaurants to go

90
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,639
to or anything like that. Yeah, guy fairies the host. Awesome.

91
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,199
We the American one. Okay,
yeah, the American one. He goes

92
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,839
just like from different like shows you
like, different places to eat yep,

93
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:00,879
yeah, lots of like burger challenges
and stuff. Right, awesome. Yeah,

94
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,879
that's really cow It tastes delicious.
That's a that's a really bad guy

95
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:13,079
fiery impression. I want to say, what sounds like his hair. I

96
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,240
watched that film documentary. While we're
on the subject the documentaries, Brad side

97
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,480
by Side. Oh yeah, Keanu
Reeves. Yes, who's a great interviewer.

98
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,879
He's not bad, he's good.
It's not bad. You could tell

99
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,560
he's been on a film set or
two. Yeah, I think that thing

100
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,959
might have been taken off on Netflix. I watched it the night he told

101
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:30,040
me about it. I want to
say, the day that you watched it

102
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,399
was the last day it was on
Netflix. So now people can no longer

103
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,759
watch it. Well, it must
be available somewhere side by side is a

104
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,720
TV perhaps care about care about the
technology of image capture. That's a fantas.

105
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:45,360
So I was talking with one Joey
Famelies, video producer extraordinary of testa

106
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,920
dot com about this documentary and he
linked to me the video of the guy

107
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:59,000
who's the uh, the cinematographer for
the eighth Star Wars movie. So apparently

108
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:02,199
J. J Abrams and I haven't
confirmed this, but apparently jj Abrams said,

109
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,839
like, all right, blanket statement, everyone who's making the next three

110
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,879
Star Wars movies, they have to
be on film because the first ones were

111
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:15,560
also And this director of photography was
like, I much preferred digital. So

112
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:24,879
he went out this cinematographer and like
shot film and digital together. And then

113
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:30,439
he apparently has devised, over a
period of ten years, an algorithm two

114
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:40,600
create digital film that looks like or
digital video that looks like film without a

115
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,959
reference file, so you don't have
to shoot film at the same time and

116
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:47,279
then tweak it to a digital This
is super video nerdy. But I'm the

117
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,519
video producer and I'm on this podcast. So is it just like a from

118
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:56,519
a drop down menu you just select
film eyes basically? Does it? So

119
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,879
what he did, He's like,
he ran his filter on it and then

120
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:03,800
also shot film side by side and
then put them both up there. Is

121
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,639
that why it's called side by side? That's why that documentary is called side

122
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:09,720
by side. This is a searate
video. Yeah, yeah, but I

123
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:15,639
can't indistinguishable. Yeah yeah that yeah, that the the The conclusion of that

124
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,959
documentary is pretty grim for people who
were holding onto film well, but it's

125
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,199
also really heartening because like there was
there was a point where everyone was like,

126
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:24,800
yeah, this is like digital is
way inferior than film, blah blah

127
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,519
blah. And then like one camera, I forget if it's the RI or

128
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,639
one of the red cameras are Alexa
and the Red Epic I think are the

129
00:08:31,679 --> 00:08:35,720
two in that one that they but
this documentary is like three years old at

130
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,039
this point, so they are probably
better cameras. But even then they were

131
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,600
like, yeah, these are these
are it almost there? Yeah, this

132
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,679
is this is what we were looking
for, and now everyone's ready. Surprisingly,

133
00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:46,159
Chris Nolan, I didn't realize he
was such a film star. Dude,

134
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,000
he is. He is such a
luddite, it's crazy, Like,

135
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,679
yeah, watch behind the scenes on
some of his movies, Like he does

136
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,440
everything on the set that he possibly
can. Yeah, So what is it?

137
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,840
What is the argument against digital?
I mean, obviously the cameras are

138
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,759
getting there, but like, what
was other other than like the nostalgia factor.

139
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,600
There's there's feel, Yeah, there's
a there's a kind of a touchy

140
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,080
feel, the element of this is
what we grew up with and have used

141
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,240
for a century. I totally get
that and our use to and I would

142
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,720
say that's bullshit. Well that's the
argument. That's kind of just why,

143
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,120
like why the cinematographer put this thing
up here. It's like, look,

144
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,159
I can, I can do this
and it's indistinguishable. Yeah, so what's

145
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,679
the point. I mean, they're
you know there there were so much more

146
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,919
expensive and hard to do, and
you can't get a film camera some places.

147
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,480
There were arguments about color timing and
resolution and stuff like that stuff,

148
00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:30,879
I want to ask, what is
it? But that stuff has advanced so

149
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:33,519
fast with digital in the last five
years that those arguments aren't really valid anymore,

150
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,639
least scorting to this documentary. But
so yeah, it's yeah, that's

151
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:39,879
the crazier part of that documentary,
which is like, but I didn't know

152
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:46,240
that in the past, a colorist
only had like red, green, blue,

153
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,240
and luminance, like that's it,
yeah, for the for all of

154
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,279
film. And now you've got like
with digital you can do you can turn

155
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,480
the sky purple, you know,
like you could like, oh brother,

156
00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:01,080
where art Thou could not have been
made because they wanted all, like all

157
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:05,919
the natural foliage and stuff to look
brown but retain the blue sky. You

158
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,360
can't do that in film because you're
changing the entire color. Prodot didn't do

159
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:13,559
some of that too. Yeah,
not on the same time, I guess.

160
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:18,879
I don't know if they it's called
bleach bypass. That may have been

161
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,159
a like an actual chemical process.
Oh okay with the film, I don't

162
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,960
actually know. I remember thinking it
was bullshit because I went into a college

163
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,799
for film school and I was just
editing on final cut and premiere back then.

164
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah, and you go into your
first film production classes, and they're

165
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,600
like, okay, well you gotta
spend hundreds of dollars to buy like thirty

166
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:39,799
feet of film or whatever and actually
cut it up and stuff. Why do

167
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:43,279
we have to fucking this is twelve
fifteen years ago. That's That's the thing

168
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:46,000
with like a remote film set for
a major motion picture, you are like

169
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:50,159
sending truckloads of film like to in
front of the set every day, you

170
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,279
know, castle expense, Like you
have to have a developer like there,

171
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,840
so you don't see it until a
day later. The workflow, the workflow

172
00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:01,360
arguments are are self evident, you
know. Yeah, uh it's it's it's

173
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:07,039
a lot more romanticized than that.
But that documentary is fantastic. Yeah,

174
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:09,840
And I love the look of film, and so does this this. Uh

175
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,919
I wish I could remember his name, but the cinematographer for Star Wars episode

176
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,639
eight, he's like, that's like
my favorite look. Probably do just just

177
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,559
because I've been watching film for so
long. But I can make digital look

178
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:24,000
like that, so why not?
Right? But it's so much easier and

179
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:26,360
cheaper yea, And they can't,
like you said, the cameras are smaller.

180
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:30,480
You can get them in a lot
of weirder places. Is he then

181
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,240
being allowed to not shoot this movie
on film? I don't know. I

182
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:39,039
mean that that plays into the whole
like like nostalgia tinged Disney marketing mechanism of

183
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,039
like they're all practical effects and it's
being shot on film, and it's being

184
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,600
made like the ones you liked and
not the ones that you hated. Like

185
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,960
that's basically the crux, you know
what. Like I think that's fine because

186
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:56,039
Star Wars is such a like landmark
film. It's the sort of thing like

187
00:11:56,039 --> 00:12:00,120
if you said, oh, we're
making some offshoot Star Wars movie, it

188
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:01,960
has to be shot on film,
that wouldn't really I wouldn't really get that.

189
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,559
Well, they've already been saying about
like they hired the cinematographer from black

190
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,759
Hawk down for Rogue One, like
like they are stylistically moving kind of a

191
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,159
field of what Star Wars has been
for for those offshoots. Yeah, but

192
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,159
anyway, that stuff remains to be
seen video. It also remains very red

193
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:24,080
in here. Yeah, devilishly read. I don't think I actually think that

194
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,919
I need to keep steeping in this
should Yeah, after the quick look we

195
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:35,080
just recorded devil Daggers man was Devil
Daggers shot on film. Devil Daggers was

196
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,679
shot on the Quake one software Renderers
of the Day. It totally has the

197
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:46,000
look of It's actually, uh,
it's way more than just the low resolutionists

198
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,279
of it. Like the character movement
looks and feels like Quake one, like

199
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,360
when you when you strafe left and
right. Though there's a little subtle like

200
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:56,919
tilt like tilt, yeah, just
like Quake, like a bit of a

201
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,120
rocket jump. It very much feels
like an homage visually the bunny hopping.

202
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:03,320
If you don't know what we're talking
about. Devil Daggers is a first person

203
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:09,039
I guess the shorthand I use the
first person in geometry Wars. Yeah,

204
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:13,440
it's like Geometra Wars or like Robotron
or but it's it's but it's like a

205
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,919
run based game. You your score
is your time. You want the last

206
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,600
so long as you can, and
very quick responds yeah. The number,

207
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:22,519
Yeah, the number of enemies you
kill means nothing in terms of the leader

208
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,320
boards. It's purely just how long
you can survive. Yeah. It takes

209
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,759
place on this very small playfield,
like just this kind of round platform that

210
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,440
you can fall off the side of
it's very dark, so you can't always

211
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,919
see the edge like they usually.
You totally use the darkness against you on

212
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,639
some of the later enemies, making
it harder to see their weak points and

213
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,919
stuff like that. Well, you
say the Geometry Wars thing, but the

214
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,960
scary thing is that in Geometry Wars
you can always see the pack that's chasing

215
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,240
you around, right, And with
this one, it's just a bunch of

216
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,559
fucking skulls and you know they're behind
you all the time, but you don't

217
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,679
see him until you turn around.
There's just right there in your face.

218
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,600
Is extremely important to get. Yeah, because because all the enemies have different

219
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,720
sound cues. Yep, there's like
a tell that you can hear based on

220
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:58,960
what kind of enemy is about sneak
up behind you. It's great sound too.

221
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:03,519
I've seen some people complain about like
the fact that you can't see everything

222
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:07,480
making the game kind of unfair,
But I would argue, if there are

223
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,919
things chasing you to the point that
you can't get away from them, like

224
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,519
you've already sucked up, like that
game is about threat management. Yeah,

225
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:18,480
and like keeping the enemy spawners down
as fast as you can, clearing the

226
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,759
board as much as you can,
right, Like you just if if the

227
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,399
enemies are building up to a point
that they're going to overwhelm you, it's

228
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,360
because you're failing. Like that's just
the way that you have to play that

229
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,960
game, and that's how you will
die in that game, is at some

230
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:31,200
point inevitably you are going to get
overwhelmed because you haven't cleared the board enough,

231
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,759
right, and you're gonna run into
or back into some spire or some

232
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,799
group of enemies. So I think
I got just over seventy seconds. Yeah,

233
00:14:37,799 --> 00:14:41,759
And the game operates on a set
like everything kind of spawns at the

234
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:43,720
same time, like it seems to
escalate it a set progression. Every everything

235
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:46,879
seems very SI. If there was
something that I had to say that I

236
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120
kind of didn't like about that game, it would actually be that. Yeah,

237
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,960
and I get that, like,
you know, if you want a

238
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,960
fair leader board, then you kind
of need everyone to have the same run

239
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,519
more or less. But there's something
about like kind of not knowing what's coming

240
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:03,720
your way. And I'm sure,
you know, if I was actually good

241
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,279
at the game and saw more of
it than I would forget. But I

242
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,360
know that the big spidery thing appears
at forty seconds. Yeah, yeah,

243
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,440
that sort of stuff. I don't
think the location is static, but definitely

244
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,679
the timing of definitely is. Yeah, that'll introduce some randomness just because like

245
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,399
if the enemy spawners happened to be
on opposite sides of the platform, you're

246
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,000
kind of gonna have a problem clearing
both at the same time. But I

247
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,799
think it feels fair though, like
it's super super hard. But every time

248
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:30,279
I die, I feel like it's
my fault. I guess I'm with you,

249
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,720
but I feel like I'm still getting
like hit from the side and so

250
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:33,960
you know, like, so what
what times are you getting because I maybe

251
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,639
maybe guys spent eight okay, so
maybe you spent way more time with it

252
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,840
to get there. Though that that
feels because I'm still like, oh wait,

253
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,519
wait, why did I just I
think mine was a fluke because normally,

254
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:48,039
like I die right around the time
the spider spawns, and then I

255
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,240
kind of freak out and can't kill
that, and that's at the same time

256
00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:52,600
the like superspire with the two gems. Yeah, uh spawns, and that's

257
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,840
a different type of horn thing.
Yeah, the horn thing that chases they

258
00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,720
kind of perpetually kills me that not
got pass over that hump yet. Yeah,

259
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,840
the hump for me is fifty five
to sixty seconds. That's almost always.

260
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:08,120
Yeah, absolutely, my best is
one seventy one, but I can't

261
00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:11,000
even I typically can't even come close
to that. Like, yeah, that

262
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,399
that forty to fifty seconds span is
the crucible you have to get through to

263
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
get a higher time, Like if
you don't execute perfectly at that moment,

264
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,679
you are just not gonna make it. Yeah, yeah, I think my

265
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:23,159
highest score was a fluke definitely.
But a cool thing you can do is

266
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,120
look at everyone's high score run because
at anyone on the leaderboard, like on

267
00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:30,639
your Steam friends list or whatever,
you just click this button next their name

268
00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:33,279
and you watch their entire run.
You can speed it up, slow down,

269
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,000
all that stuff. It's real great. I just I don't know how

270
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:38,960
I feel about a game like this
where I, like, I would estimate

271
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,919
eighty percent of my runs are coming
it in coming in at about a third

272
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,240
of my best time. But don't
you feel like somehow not really you know,

273
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,159
you got to that best time once, right, I mean, well

274
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,600
I got like, you know,
I was hitting ninety seconds every so often,

275
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:53,679
and then I got like one hundred
and twenty a couple times, like

276
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:57,159
it's it's been iterative, but I
can't. It's just the number of times

277
00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:00,519
that I fail out super quick because
I was figuring, figuring this game would

278
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,920
be about those kind of checkpoints like
at the forty to fifty second range,

279
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,240
like you're talking about like okay,
devil daggers, Like I'm gonna get past

280
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:11,559
this one and then the next you
know, kind of hectic moment or or

281
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,160
hey, I'm gonna set this new
score and then hopefully I won't regress or

282
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,559
all start getting to that point like
like all the time. That's that's what

283
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,960
I mean. I keep regressing,
keeps forty fifty. That's frustrating every every

284
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,359
single time. It's driving me crazy. It's it's specifically that first spider spawn

285
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,839
and what you have to do to
get through that stuff, because the spider

286
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,480
eats the gems that let you upgrade
your web. What, oh, you

287
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,160
didn't know that. Yeah, that's
that's crucial. As its alive, it's

288
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,720
sucking all the gyms and the fucker
kill that things. I am bad at

289
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:41,039
killing the spider, yeah I do. That's the other problems. Do you

290
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:44,359
have to shoot the glowing part.
Specifically, there's a larger part that seems

291
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,920
to abandon flow. Realize that either
in the quick look because you shoot the

292
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,440
red thing on the spire. So
when I saw the spider, like,

293
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,359
oh yeah, the spires, the
red gym is the weak point on the

294
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,359
spider. The red gym is below
the weak point, which is its face.

295
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,319
But it's super hard to see its
face because it floats off to the

296
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,599
side of the platform where you can't
walk. I didn't notice the flashes like

297
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,400
yellow or something that hit it,
But the yellow flashing part is the weak

298
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,960
point. Yeah, when you shoot
it, that's what thing to face the

299
00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:11,480
lights up, that's the weak point. But devil tagers, it's really hard

300
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,319
to see that weak point and zero
in on it and be that thing can

301
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,160
kind of fold itself up and just
hide its face whenever it wants. Yeah,

302
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,960
yeah, so it can become invincible
every So like that that ten seconds

303
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,880
stretch there makes or breaks every run, and it breaks most of them for

304
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,640
me. And that is actually that's
that's Yeah. I typically don't kept past

305
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,200
forty forty five fifties something like that. Yeah, I wash out there pretty

306
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,680
often too, And yeah, like
I'm I'm actually I was very hot and

307
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,119
heavy on this game coming out of
us playing it on the show on Friday,

308
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,960
and then spent a little bit of
time with it over the weekend,

309
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,960
and I don't know how much more
devil Tackers I have left in me,

310
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,039
which for five dollar game, that's
okay, sure, you know, like

311
00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:56,960
like that's that's all right, But
that that one, that one odd run

312
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,880
where you managed to get the upgrade
and kill the spider and just start clear

313
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,519
and shit feels incredible. I've yet
to get an upgrade like that is a

314
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:07,400
best moment contender or the first time
you get that upgrade and then just start

315
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,039
like wiping everything off the map,
like it feels amazing, But it doesn't

316
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:15,319
come often enough for my taste,
like feeling like you're like you're like jumping

317
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,559
and grasping at this ring that you're
trying to grab onto and only like one

318
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:21,240
out of every like thirty hops do
you actually managed to get your fingers on

319
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:25,480
it. Yeah, that's my analogy. How do you get that upgrade?

320
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,559
It's just ten gems that drop from
from certain enemies. Certain enemies, yes,

321
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:33,480
okay, the spires, the skull, the horns, skulls, and

322
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,759
like once you get to like the
centipede and stuff, there's a time.

323
00:19:36,839 --> 00:19:38,799
Yes, I've seen the centipede two
or three times. Wow, wait,

324
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:44,920
so were we not getting ten gems? Were I still never have? I

325
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,200
played like six hours this weekend.
I didn't get it once, and I

326
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,359
know what you have to do.
Like we're getting gyms left and right,

327
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,960
but I guess so the spider will
eat them. They'll also just blink out.

328
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,079
They'll start flickering and vanish if you
don't pick them up fasterma, And

329
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,240
if you're shooting, they're not gonna
magnet ties to you. Ye, stop

330
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,799
shooting, and then they suck indies. So you can only you can Oh,

331
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,319
you can typically only get like eight
or nine gems by the time the

332
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,480
spider spawns and starts taking them from
you. So you have to focus that

333
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,480
thing down and then you'll be able
to get enough. Hopefully. It's a

334
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:17,680
fucking harsh master. Yeah, it's
a really mean game, but it's it's

335
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,319
super satisfying when it all clicks.
It just doesn't. It doesn't quite click

336
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,720
often enough for me. I was
telling Brad in the quick look, like

337
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:26,359
even if it's something where I get
frustrated enough and I'm not gonna, you

338
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,079
know, keep playing because I feel
like I've topped out in skill level wise.

339
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,160
It's gonna be a fun one to
watch the leaderboards because just in the

340
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,599
few days I've been playing it and
watching it, like, there are these

341
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,039
names I'm recognizing. Now there's Matt
Bush the developer, and there's that bone

342
00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:41,039
Carver guy who got that initial like
eight minute run. Now there's this new

343
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:44,160
person who's using your name. It's
just like twitch slash whatever. The top

344
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,920
guy on the leaderboard has his twitchy
arnalysts user name right, sweet, So

345
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,920
like I want to watch that almost
like a Steve web Billy Mitchell type thing,

346
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,519
like, oh yeah, who totally
got this, totally got the American

347
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:56,759
flag tie, who's sell barbecue sauce? Like totally. The name bone Carver

348
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,039
was like floating in my head all
weekend. I see a bone Carver is

349
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:04,079
doing his name. It is his
his his top run that we saw on

350
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,799
Friday. It got invalidated over the
weekend due to a patch. Yeah I

351
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,440
might so they patched it and I
think it maybe tweets something that broke his

352
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,160
run or something. Anyway, Yeah, he vanished off the leaderboard. He's

353
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,039
back like like number two right now. Uh, but yeah, it's it's

354
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:23,680
gonna be fascinating to watch people break
that game open. Well, and you

355
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,599
were saying that it sounds like Matt
Bush might have said somewhere that they're like

356
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,400
thirteen bosses. I need to verify
that. I don't know if that's the

357
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,759
case or not. But so,
Drew, we remember the bone chandelier.

358
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,680
Yeah, yeah, we saw the
current number one as of the time this

359
00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:40,720
recording, the current number one run
has the guy beating the bone shandlights bone

360
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,480
shan. Imagine if that is correct, If there's like thirteen bosses and the

361
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,519
top in the world has only beaten
one of them, Like that seems like

362
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:48,680
such a cool idea. Though,
even if there's you know, five or

363
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,759
six that like, how long is
it going to take for someone to actually

364
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,440
beat that guy? How do you
develop that? I'm gonna I don't ask.

365
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,799
My question is the developer of holding
back deliberate? But like he's he's

366
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:03,759
a like number what two or three
on the leader board? Is that deliberate?

367
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:06,160
So he's not like, here's a
run that shows everything that the game

368
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,759
has to offer. Yea, yeah, maybe just keep yourself up there.

369
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,160
Yeah, but just like people know, like I'm here. Yeah, yeah,

370
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,519
I'm not going anywhere. I'm trying
to fact check that now and see

371
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:18,440
if I can actually figure out how
many. I don't know where I saw

372
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,960
that about there being a bunch of
bosses in it, but fact checking.

373
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,960
But think about that though, If
there are actually a ton of bosses in

374
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,720
this game and the best person in
the world has only barely beaten the first

375
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:30,640
time, yeah, that's great,
I'll never see any of them. Well,

376
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,039
no, you can watch their run. It becomes more of a spectator

377
00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:37,559
sport at that point, and I
don't know there's enough Like the audio visual

378
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,319
nature the side of of of this
game is so haunting that I don't like

379
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,880
watching it for longer at the time, I don't like hearing it. It

380
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,599
creeps me out. Yes, I
eventually hit a spot with Devil Daggers or

381
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,039
I'm like, okay, Devil Daggers, I'm gonna stop playing Devil Daggers.

382
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,359
Find you need to. It seems
like that's the game you need to just

383
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,400
like really grind away on. Yeah, as long as you've got the patience,

384
00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:00,319
you know, until your patience goes
then you know, Okay, I

385
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:03,039
need to stop for a few hours. I find myself coming away from it

386
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:06,559
with a really gross, like nervous
energy. Yeah. Yeause it's so stressfuich,

387
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:08,119
he's just so stressful. I was
playing on Friday night. It did

388
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,079
not It did not help me.
Yeah, and any Yes, I was

389
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,799
not in a good place after that. I was feeling a little loggy after

390
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,599
lunch just now though, and then
we did that win did that quickly.

391
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,720
Yeah, it is kind of a
little bit lowgy, Yes, logy,

392
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:25,319
waylaid by some burritos, Like oh, like you ate like you're full or

393
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,279
you feel yes, exactly got you. We did that quick look though,

394
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:32,200
and I was just like low after
dark, ready to go, man like

395
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,440
I played some devil Daggers. Let's
do this. It'll wake you up for

396
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,599
sure. Uh, it is worth
five dollars. It is absolutely worth five

397
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,519
dollars just to see how mean it
is. And it doesn't look and sound

398
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:48,119
amazing. Yeah, it's it's pretty
cool if you're if you're in the first

399
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,519
person shooters of a certain time period. Yeah. So we were talking about

400
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,119
we were recording a demo Derby earlier
today, which I guess I'll be on

401
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,200
the side is coming examined by the
time you were just coming soon comes yea

402
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,160
ten this week, yeah, sometimes
week, and uh, we were talking

403
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,200
a little bit about Quake World.
Well yeah, quake what about it?

404
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,200
I don't know, it's it's just
it's just how crazy it was, like

405
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,960
the the the predictive, like the
client side prediction of Quake World and what

406
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:19,920
and how meaningful that is or kind
of video games too that followed. It

407
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,599
was like it was when Quake came
out and it played like garbage on a

408
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,920
modem and everybody was super mad.
Yeah, and Carmack I think it was

409
00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:29,079
his Carmack or one of the other
I think it was like Karmack and some

410
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,599
motters or something sat down and make
Quake World. Didn't No, No,

411
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,920
it was all him. I wasn't
but it was right after wrong, so

412
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,240
it was it was right after release. But but I think it was him

413
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:38,920
that came out and literally said,
hey, we played this on an IPX

414
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,519
network in our office. We didn't
realize it would be just bad. Yeah,

415
00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:45,480
yeah, like wait, they were
they We talked about this in those

416
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:49,880
uh what if his plan files.
Yeah, you can go back to ninety

417
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,640
seven or whatever if you were if
you were if you were to finger John

418
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,519
c Att Software dot com, which
I do all the time every day,

419
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:59,599
you would have seen, yeah,
like look for more updates. But yeah,

420
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,400
it was it was that was actually
this weird like game developer privileged situation

421
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,079
of like we play on the supers
in our office. We didn't actually test

422
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:11,079
this on a modem because nobody's ever
made a multiplayer shooter that runs over modems

423
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,640
like this before, so we didn't
jo It was like, oh, let

424
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,119
me just solve this, right.
So then so then he comes comes up

425
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,920
with this like standard setting solution for
like yeah, for a client side predictive

426
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,599
movement and all that stuff. But
that was such a weird time for PC

427
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:27,400
shooters because oh yeah, yeah,
developers were just coming up with these massive

428
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:33,279
innovations left and right for like skin
support and mods and online multiplayer and just

429
00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:34,400
all that stuff. It was very
happening. Yes, it was fun.

430
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,119
It was fun to be right there
with a PC that was good enough to

431
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,720
run all that stuff. Yep,
Playing bought and then I bought my Voodoo

432
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:45,359
Playing Quick at three hundred pink.
Yeah, totally three hundred mill second.

433
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,799
I had more of like it me
was. It was mark like two eighty

434
00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:48,799
five. Yeah, that's yeah,
that's about right. Yeah, I was.

435
00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:52,680
I was on a twenty eight eight
at the time. Those are fun

436
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,039
times, but those that was then. This is now, Okay, what's

437
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,240
what's now now? It's been going
on? Is Far Cry Primal now?

438
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,960
Gosh? Right, after sitting through
that quick look and then you reviewed it

439
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:11,400
and then I forgot we would have
to talk about it left that much of

440
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,599
an impression on you. Huh.
It's man, I there was a real

441
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,759
roller coaster of emotions with my time
with Far Cry Primal. You know it

442
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,400
really there are things about that game
that I really like and a lot of

443
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:30,839
it that I think is one hundred
and ten percent forgettable. Uh you know.

444
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,480
So this is the far Cry that
takes place in ten thousand BC e

445
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,799
uh for the Common era, Yeah, before the Common era, the Uncommon

446
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:44,880
era, the Uncola era, and
you slam seven ups and club Saver to

447
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,880
the tigers. It's awesome and that
actually sounds like an okay, it does

448
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,400
sound all right, it's just cool
spot two all right. Yeah, so

449
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:57,079
this is uh, take all the
things about Far Cry skinning animals to get

450
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:03,000
upgrades, taking out so there's no
okay, I'm gonna blow your mind here.

451
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:06,200
Okay, there's no wallet and there's
no currency. What are you gonna

452
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,559
do with an animal hide? You're
gonna you know, well, you're gonna

453
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:14,000
use an animal hide the generic term
animal hide to build your weapons? Is

454
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:15,720
it not specific? Like, oh, there's a cassowarier. So there are

455
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:19,799
also specific animal skins that those are
used for the upgrades, but there's just

456
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:25,319
a resource for like, hey,
I threw all my spears and I need

457
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,400
to make more spears. So when
you skin an animal, you get their

458
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,440
specific skin, like a you know, a badger skin or something like that.

459
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,119
But then you also get like I
got two animal hides also, Okay,

460
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,119
under the skin is the hide.
It's just like a general currency of

461
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,720
swords for crafting. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. What does a bandicoot

462
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:45,440
skin get you? And nothing?
It gets you bought by Activision. So

463
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,480
are you saying there are more types
of currency and materials. It's like they

464
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:55,599
doubled and tripled down on the crafting
aspects of the game, which I liked

465
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,200
those in the previous games, but
only because they were kind of that means

466
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,079
to an end, and it was
a fun diversion from the things you were

467
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:03,960
doing. It was like, oh, well, I'm gonna go hunt this

468
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,279
stuff for a little while and then
get back to you know, take an

469
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:11,400
out posts and do amissions and allsother
stuff where it's like a lot of this

470
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,279
game like there are so there's a
village in this game, and you have

471
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:18,640
to build huts and you have to
upgrade the huts, and that's also resources.

472
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,240
So you're like, well, here's
a fucked up tree. I'm gonna

473
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,799
go take this wood, and I'm
gonna use some of that wood for building

474
00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:26,880
more arrows, but I'm also going
to save some of that would in my

475
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:32,240
pack and that will eventually be used
to upgrade a hut back at the village,

476
00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:37,640
which will unlock more skills for me
to buy and will potentially also advanced

477
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:44,519
story in some cases. And so
like they really just they made a far

478
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:48,119
Cry game that was way more about
the crafting, and it seems like this

479
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,160
super misguided thing. Like though like
yeah, I was, you have to

480
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,839
wonder like if they if they thought, like if they looked at all the

481
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:56,640
other like survival games coming out and
it's like, man, we've been doing

482
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,960
that for years, let's just blow
that out. But they blow it out

483
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,880
at the at the expense seemingly of
the rest of the game. So like,

484
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,559
it has main missions and it has
secondary missions, but like the main

485
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:15,799
missions are really underwhelming and the storyline
is incredibly thin and lifeless. And as

486
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:18,440
I finished it and didn't realize I
had finished it, if it was like,

487
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,599
oh, that's like the opposite of
finishing Far Cry for super right,

488
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,839
Well, I think the opposite is
finishing Middle. You're solid five thinking you're

489
00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:30,359
finished, and then there's more.
You'll be finished about six more credit roles

490
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:34,119
from there, and actually, so
I apparently finished it out of order because

491
00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:37,519
they're basically it's like you're you eventually, so you are building up your village

492
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:41,839
and as you you know, and
Far Cry they would have the missions where

493
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,519
it's like, hey, here's two
guards walking a prisoner through the open world,

494
00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:48,000
and if you just shoot those guys
and free the guy, and then

495
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,039
it's like, yay, well,
now when you do that, a villager

496
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:53,400
gets added to your village's population,
and there are other missions that get When

497
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,000
you take over an outpost, you
get more population, and that population number

498
00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:00,920
translates into XP bonuses and more resources, more resources for more crafting. The

499
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,079
guys, and also, you know, kind of just just eventually gets you

500
00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:12,640
more XP so so they've they've built
that into it as well. But yeah,

501
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,960
so you're building up your tribe,
but there are two other tribes,

502
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:19,599
and there are you know missions along
the way to kind of take on those

503
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,200
other tribes that are you know,
ones up in the north where it's icy,

504
00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:29,359
ones down south and they like to
throw firebombs, and yeah, and

505
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:34,799
i'd beat the Ice Tribe. So
they sent over a review guide that talks

506
00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:37,319
about you know, hey, here's
you know, a mission one, mission

507
00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:40,160
two, and I went and looked
at that after I finished the game,

508
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:44,079
and they had the last mission as
beating the Ice Tribe, which the conclusion

509
00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:47,160
of like after that mission there was
something somewhat meaningful that happened, and I

510
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,359
was like, oh, okay,
that's interesting, But I still have to

511
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:52,640
go beat the other tribe and they're
the real bad guys, right, Like

512
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:56,599
apparently they have it the other way, which is super weird for the progression

513
00:30:56,599 --> 00:30:57,920
of the game. It actually doesn't
make much sense. And sure enough,

514
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:03,119
like the conclusion of that side of
things, this is just nothing. It's

515
00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:07,039
just like it feels like a mid
game story point I murdered that boss and

516
00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:10,200
now we're out here doing more.
But that's actually how both of them go.

517
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,920
So it's like this weird just basically
like it makes the whole game feel

518
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,359
like it's one long side mission and
nothing of import happens, and like I

519
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:21,319
don't remember, you know, like
the whole game is not so that it's

520
00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:25,559
forced subtitles because no one speaks English. They're speaking a I don't know if

521
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:27,839
it's a made up language or maybe
it's an actual based on there could be

522
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,599
some historical basis in this prehistorical uh, cave man language. I thought that

523
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,200
was a really interesting point. Uh, it's it's neat that they did it,

524
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,799
but it actually it left me feeling
totally detached from the happenings of the

525
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:44,759
game because I just don't I just
don't care about any of the cut scenes.

526
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,960
They're just like they're shouting and nonsense. And it's like reading the subtitles

527
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,480
going like and then subtitles written in
like a very like caveman kind of way.

528
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,200
That's super weird. It's like like
even the subtitles look like Tarzan and

529
00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:57,000
speak yeah, and that's that's a
little that was a kind of hard to

530
00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:01,559
read. Yeah, and it's all
so very inconsistent with that which is front

531
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:07,079
or the way they're actually like me, do this like a manner of speech?

532
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,279
Okay, Yeah, I have to
imagine that they sort of leave that

533
00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:13,960
behind whenever they need to express them
or complicated idea. Yeah, but there

534
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:20,200
are very few complicated ideas at play
in Far Cry prim people Jeff, Yeah,

535
00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:22,960
but you know there's no tower climbing, but it has its drug trip

536
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,759
equivalent, you know, it has
it's you know, hey, clear out

537
00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:29,880
this outpost to get a fast travel
point, and you know there's a lot

538
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,119
of animals to deal with. Some
One of the other things they added was

539
00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:35,400
animal taming, and you you know
how you could throw out and meet as

540
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,640
Baits and previous far Cries. Now, if you have the right skill points

541
00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:42,799
invested, you can walk up and
hit tame and then you can have a

542
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,079
leopard that runs around and kills shit
for you specific animals or ye, specific

543
00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:51,039
creditors, not anything. Right.
So you know, by the midpoint of

544
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:52,400
the game, I had to stab
or shoot the tiger just running right,

545
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,359
And I could write it if I
wanted to, But the writing animal controls

546
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:58,519
in that game I think are actually
super bad. They always happened. Is

547
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,200
it something you could summon at times? Or do you summ it whenever you

548
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,319
need it? If it dies,
it's gone forever. If it dies you

549
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,599
it has a timer that ticks down
you can walk up, so basically you

550
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,880
feed it meat, the same meat
you would used to heal yourself. And

551
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,839
if that timer expires before you give
it meat, you then have to spend

552
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,000
like two or three red leaves to
get it back. But you can call

553
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,400
like any other animal that you've tamed
also, So if you're just like whatever,

554
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,359
that one's dead, I don't have
leaves, I'm gonna call him the

555
00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:24,279
bear that I tamed earlier. You
know, you can do that too,

556
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,759
okay, and it was you know, it's an AI companion, and you

557
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:32,359
you're limited to basically like ordering it
to a location or ordering it to attack

558
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:38,359
a target. And sometimes that's fine. One time I ordered my tiger into

559
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,359
a village to start fucking people up, and it got stuck in the environment.

560
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,759
And like the pathing on, it
is sometimes really bad. And sometimes

561
00:33:45,759 --> 00:33:47,200
it'll just like you know, like
if you swim across something, it'll just

562
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,119
materialize next to you. When you
get out of the water. They had

563
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,400
some of that and ford didn't they
like when you had the drug trips stuff

564
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,720
where you just had the like spirit
bow and then it was some sort of

565
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,119
like white Lion or something that yeah, yeah, yeah, but that was

566
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:01,359
Yes, you would like point at
agro of enemies and it should go over

567
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,680
there and attack them, right,
yeah, basically the same type of thing.

568
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:07,960
Uh yeah, same type of thing, and uh, you know,

569
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:12,079
I think it's it's well done,
but it makes an easy game even easier

570
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,000
in a way like which seems completely
at odds with the idea that like they

571
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:19,679
looked at survival games on on Twitch
and we're like, well, let's lean

572
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,440
into that. Who knows if that's
what they did. Yeah, case,

573
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,679
well, when when you're talking about
that, like with the crafting system,

574
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:28,679
are we talking about them doubling down
on the crafting stuff and the way that

575
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:32,400
it feels like like they're doubling down
in the in the way that like farc

576
00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:37,599
right does it putting it sticking a
rock together to build a club. But

577
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:39,760
you're just collecting stones everywhere you go, and you're collecting sticks everywhere you go,

578
00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:44,360
so basically you're going into a menu, you're into your weapon wheel actually,

579
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,079
and you're you're already on club and
anytime you can hit the X button

580
00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:51,880
on PS four to just craft more
clubs instantly, all right, And you

581
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,480
know you can set your if you
have animal fat, you can set your

582
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,320
weapons on fire with it, and
then if you leave it on fire long

583
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,760
enough, it will burn up and
you'll have to craft another one. You

584
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,800
can hold like five clubs by the
time you're done crafting belts not some other

585
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,039
shit. You know, you've got
five spears and six or six spears or

586
00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:08,960
something, and you know, six
clubs and some two handed clubs, and

587
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,840
two bows, three bows, and
forty eight arrows. So by the end

588
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,559
of the game, I had forty
meats that I could hold. I could

589
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:20,800
hold forty meats. That's a lot
of meat when you use it. When

590
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,840
you use one to heal like three
points of life and one to heal fifty

591
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,760
percent of your animals health. How
many you can have up to six you

592
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:36,519
start with three, okay, And
it's not a difficult game at that point,

593
00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:37,960
Like even you know missions where I'm
just like I have like five guys

594
00:35:38,039 --> 00:35:43,760
surrounding me and they are setting me
on fucking fire. That's bad, but

595
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,880
I'm just gonna hold down the meat
button and everything's okay. Uh So yeah,

596
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,480
like like the death was not a
problem in that game. Uh in

597
00:35:51,519 --> 00:35:53,880
a way that is really at odds
with this whole like kind of you know,

598
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,559
hey, it's hard to survive out
here. Like, no, it's

599
00:35:55,599 --> 00:36:00,239
totally not. It's totally not.
In terms of like over all length,

600
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,679
does it feel like a full scale
farcrier? Is it more like an offshooting

601
00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:06,239
Blood Dragon? It's longer than I
mean, it's full price, So it's

602
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,360
that's that's not like Blood Dragon was. It was thirty right? Was twenty?

603
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,920
I don't I don't actually know.
It feels like a Blood Dragon's worth

604
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:22,880
of content stretched out stretched, thin, stretched to the breaking point, you

605
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,880
know. Uh. I So it
took me fourteen and a half hours to

606
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:31,639
finish the story stuff and it called
that thirty five percent complete? Were you

607
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,719
I was? I did a ton
of I did almost all of the upgrades.

608
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,800
Oh okay along the way, that's
crazy. What is what is sixty

609
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,719
some odd percent of that game?
There are a ton of secondary so you

610
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,280
know how when you would go into
when you take an out post, it

611
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,079
would pop up like, hey,
there's a signpost here that tells you about

612
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:51,159
a mission somewhere else. All those
missions are out in the world too,

613
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,599
like a racing challenge or something.
There's no I don't think there's anything but

614
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,679
like that type of thing, yeah, that type of stuff. Yeah.

615
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,360
And and so a lot of those
events are just duplicated and laid out everywhere,

616
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,239
like the map is a mess about
it. That's crazy. Uh.

617
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,039
And even even in the open world
games with a lot of side stuff,

618
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:08,239
I still feel like once you've finished
the story and done most of the main

619
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:14,079
stuff, you would presumably be at
least past the fifty percent mark, if

620
00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:15,960
not end up in the sixteen.
I think it depends on the quality of

621
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,679
the contract. And my problem with
it is that you would go hover over

622
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,079
the icons and you'd see it's like
the same handful of events over and over

623
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:25,199
and over and over again. And
I did a handful of those, but

624
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,000
those were not engaging, you know, like like the bulk of the game

625
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:34,320
felt like I was doing exactly that
already, you know. So the idea

626
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:39,480
of like to go doing more of
it for seemingly no reason except for more

627
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:44,360
population, which I didn't need.
You only need you need forty villagers to

628
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,440
get the maximum level of HUT upgrades. So everything past forty is just you

629
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,960
getting bonus XP to buy more skill
points. But I had more than enough

630
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,559
skill points by the end of that
thing to do what I wanted to do.

631
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:58,719
And then some well, in the
previous Farkright games, there was a

632
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,480
lot of stuff that felt kind of
same me, like, oh, I'm

633
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,800
just taking over these outposts or killing
these guys. But then every once in

634
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,199
a while there'd be that big campaign
mission where it was like, Okay,

635
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:07,760
bomb this huge fucking factory, taking
an elephant run through, Like are there

636
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,000
those big memorable missions at all?
Or there is? There is one one

637
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:14,960
of the fortress missions has you ride
a mammoth through a gate that in a

638
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,159
moment that's like pretty cool. And
there's so there's like a couple of little

639
00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:21,760
things here and there, but nothing
to that degree. Are you burning any

640
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:27,280
pot fields to God? No?
None, no pot fields to Scrillo sadly,

641
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,400
Uh yeah, it's and I ended
up actually enjoying the combat a lot

642
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,679
more than I thought I would.
This isn't like a oh there's no guns,

643
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:37,280
it's no fun sort of thing,
like the actual act of taking these

644
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:43,440
spears and just fucking throwing them through
people was actual edges that looked really cool.

645
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:45,519
Yeah, knocking people off off of
ledges because you know, this is

646
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:46,519
a bit of carry. You throw
a spirit a guy, it's gonna knock

647
00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:52,039
them back a little bit and it's
a one hit kill generally. That was

648
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:54,320
super fun, even the armored enemies, like it has the equivalent of heavies

649
00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:57,880
and a heavy takedown skill that you
can get to. You know, if

650
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,719
you want to do the stealth kills
to them those guys, you can throw

651
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,840
two maybe three spears at him to
kill those guys. Are there any like

652
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,440
flying hawks or anything you can throw
spears in, because that's yes. Okay

653
00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:10,599
fish one of the first I'll say
one of the yes. There, you

654
00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:15,559
can spear fish. You get spear
crocodiles. Okay. One of the first

655
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:17,559
things that happened in this game is
the fucking bird flew out of the sky

656
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:21,039
and got me, and I was
pissed. I was like, all right,

657
00:39:21,039 --> 00:39:24,159
far cry but uh but yeah that
it didn't that didn't happen again.

658
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:30,119
Yeah, yes, you have an
owl that you can call in to fly

659
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:36,480
around and mark targets like the mark
of cree kind sure, okay, yeah,

660
00:39:36,559 --> 00:39:38,840
a little bit. I just I
don't quite know what to make of

661
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,599
the trajectory of the Far Cry series
at this point. This feels like a

662
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:45,800
totally forgettable, stop gap kind of
game. I just don't understand. Like

663
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,360
I came out of four with a
certain amount like I love four. I

664
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,039
thought like four is basically a better
game than three, even though it's kind

665
00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:55,079
of inherently slightly less impressive, right, and it's also like the third one

666
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:58,519
of those if you count Bloodrags,
I mean, well, yeah, that's

667
00:39:58,559 --> 00:40:00,880
that's true. Like I was,
I know, you were too, like

668
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,480
just fucking bowled over by three,
like I was, yeah, man,

669
00:40:02,559 --> 00:40:06,800
blown away by it for like you
know, some of the shitty story stuff.

670
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,400
And I don't like Fright one R
two. I'm that one is like

671
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,800
a such a different, weird throwback
at this point, Like I understand why

672
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,679
People Too was like a map reading
simulators. Now there's that stuff. I

673
00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:17,559
mean, like I understand like that, but there just the kind of utterly

674
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:22,119
open ended like Emergent Chaos of two
was maybe a little too wild for me.

675
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,719
I'm talking about paper Park. Right
two was an incredible game. I

676
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,719
just didn't, you know, I
just didn't really enjoy playing it. I

677
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,400
just I, you know, whatever
it says about my preferences, I wanted

678
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,400
it to be a little bit more
video game e than it was, and

679
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:40,440
was absolutely that is the perfect level
of dumb power fantasy. Fuck this,

680
00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:45,599
Noblia. Also, I kind of
enjoyed the regimented mechanics a little more,

681
00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:46,480
you know, of like you know, like you know, one of the

682
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,599
big common complaints about two was the
responding checkpoints. You know, It's like

683
00:40:50,639 --> 00:40:52,760
you spend time clearing out a checkpoint
and then have you walk away with nothing

684
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:58,039
substantive to add to a progress indicator
or whatever, whereas in three, part

685
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,800
doesn't feel the numbers don't get well, there's that, but also you know,

686
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,320
they also respond so quickly that it
was it actually made your life more

687
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,000
difficult because you kept you kept getting
shot at every time you drove through any

688
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:09,920
choke point, no matter what you
did. Yeah, Whereas like you you

689
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
felt like you were taking over some
territory, and three like they made it,

690
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:16,039
they made it. They gave some
some valuable feel like san Andreas in

691
00:41:16,039 --> 00:41:19,679
a weird pie, like as you
were taking over more of the hood.

692
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,400
Like you know, there was the
feeling of like, oh man, I

693
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,760
got I got my people everywhere,
my family, right, It's like this

694
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,719
three was the sweet spot for me. But yeah, like you know,

695
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:30,480
the more times they iterate on that
formula without radically changing it, like the

696
00:41:30,559 --> 00:41:32,639
less impressive it. Yeah, and
this is you know, like I said,

697
00:41:32,639 --> 00:41:37,000
the combat is quite different, you
know, unless you played the previous

698
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:40,079
games with a bow, which you
could but I didn't. Uh, you

699
00:41:40,119 --> 00:41:44,159
know, the mail and you can
throw anything, which I think is fun

700
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,760
and dumb. Uh. You there
is a rock that you can throw for

701
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,760
like a distraction thing. Yeah,
but also but also you can upgrade that

702
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,400
to a sling that will then break
the masks off of guys if you want

703
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:58,719
to expose their head. Does it
still reward you for hunting with a bow,

704
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,480
because I remember in four or it
would make like the hide or whatever

705
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:08,800
more valuable because you hadn't shot.
On top of all the crafting in this

706
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:15,440
game, all of the resource nodes
have a chance to drop a rare version

707
00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:17,039
of that resource. So that's the
thing when you tell me that they just

708
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:22,199
added subcategories of resources and like this, it just becomes this like top heavy

709
00:42:22,199 --> 00:42:24,039
mess of numbers and yeah, like
that's too much. And so you know,

710
00:42:24,199 --> 00:42:28,440
you might get rare south stone,
which you need for a different type

711
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,400
of upgrade than regular south stone,
and make it a different make it just

712
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,960
a different resource one. Yeah,
yeah, you know. Yeah. So

713
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,519
so it's it's it's not that.
But with the animals you can tell.

714
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:39,239
It's like, oh, this is
a white wolf. It's gonna have a

715
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:44,000
white wolf skin instead of the regular
wolf. That actually sounds a lot like

716
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,480
just quick side. I'd beat tumb
rator this weekend, and you would skin

717
00:42:46,639 --> 00:42:50,440
animals in that, and there is
actually a lot of resources and crafting in

718
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,199
that as well. But like certain
one of them would have like a little

719
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:57,440
glittery sparkle thing indicating it's like a
special hide or whatever, but it didn't

720
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,679
really indicate like you'd kill a deer
and go, you know, carve it

721
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:01,920
up or whatever and it's like,
oh, you got sparkle hight or whatever.

722
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,760
Not normally you wouldn't know this.
That's that's well. With the animals,

723
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:07,920
you do know in this, But
with plants and trees and all the

724
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:13,199
south stuff, like oh I got
the rare sticks, great rare reads.

725
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:17,960
It's weird and you can spend your
skill points to increase the likelihood that you'll

726
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,400
get rare resources also, which you
know, it was never like a huge

727
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:25,039
like roadblock for me because like I
said, the game is simple, right,

728
00:43:25,199 --> 00:43:28,320
so you know it's not you know, I felt like I didn't have

729
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,800
to go all the way up the
tech tree to finish the game. I

730
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:37,960
just did because I was getting stuff
along the way. Uh. And yeah,

731
00:43:37,039 --> 00:43:40,400
it's it's a very strange game in
that sense. Like you know,

732
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:44,320
there are aspects of it that I
think are are well done, and you

733
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,159
still see a lot of the underpinnings
of Far Cry, but by this being

734
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,760
the fourth Far Cry game that sticks
to kind of the blueprint that they that

735
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,119
they set out that that they executed
really well in Far Cry three, by

736
00:43:55,119 --> 00:44:00,639
this being the fourth one of those
everything that game did is is not as

737
00:44:00,679 --> 00:44:05,800
impressive today, and and the things
that they double down on with the resource

738
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:09,679
management and gathering and stuff, I
think is uh detracts from the game.

739
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,280
And I feel like the mission design
is really drab, so it's like for

740
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,119
as fun as the combat can be, and it's like there are some cool

741
00:44:16,159 --> 00:44:23,840
ideas around the animal management and taming
and and some of that stuff. Largely

742
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:29,639
I think the game is like,
Unfortunately, you're like really boring. That's

743
00:44:29,639 --> 00:44:35,440
a shame. And yeah, so
it's it's a really weird thing. You

744
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,880
know. They announced it kind of
out of nowhere and it shipped pretty soon

745
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,760
afterwards. And you know, I
think like, if this was something that

746
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,519
was a tighter package, that was
like more Blood Dragon in scope yea,

747
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,639
and in price and stuff like that, like this would make total sense.

748
00:44:47,679 --> 00:44:51,320
You'd be like, oh, after
Farkry four, you know, just like

749
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,159
with Farcry three, you wanted to
make a smaller thing that was like a

750
00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:57,960
unique spin on these mechanics, you
know, the same way that Blood Dragon

751
00:44:58,039 --> 00:45:00,239
was. It's weird, you know, eighties future nonsense. Yeah, like

752
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,239
you know, this is you know, crazy caveman business. But for this

753
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,119
to be blown out into or not
really blown out enough in some ways,

754
00:45:08,679 --> 00:45:13,280
into a full priced retail product at
that kind of length and that kind of

755
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,400
expectation, it just doesn't add up
to me. See. I never quite

756
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,079
burnt out on fark right, even
though you know, I agree they were

757
00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:22,599
very similar through three and blood Dragon
four. At the end of four,

758
00:45:22,639 --> 00:45:24,880
I was still so high on the
series that, like, I would play

759
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:30,039
more of that. The thing is
you probably would like like a you know,

760
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:32,239
a theoretical fark right five or whatever
to make the same improvements over four

761
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,760
that four did over three. You
know, like this also sounds like co

762
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,039
op, I should say, like
it sounds like this thing. This sounds

763
00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:42,760
like the only the only areas where
this thing progresses the mechanics are in the

764
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,119
areas that it was kind of dangerously
like things that was heavy on all things

765
00:45:46,119 --> 00:45:50,480
it was already doing well, like
the crafting and stuff like that. You

766
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:52,239
know, like like you like,
you don't need more types of material much

767
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,400
of it. Yeah, yeah,
you know, it's too much of what

768
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,119
you're doing. And I worry too, because my favorite stuff, and like

769
00:45:58,159 --> 00:46:00,840
fark right four is when I'm flying
around in the copter and like that grenade

770
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,039
launcher was my favorite thing in the
world, and like I love just like

771
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:06,719
flying above a convoy of trucks and
shooting it and see a truck blake.

772
00:46:07,039 --> 00:46:10,679
Like say with some certainty that there
is no grenade launch right in this game.

773
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,320
But you do have like fire bombs, Okay, that's pretty cool,

774
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,920
and you do have bee bombs or
what are they called, there's sting bombs

775
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,000
or whatever, But it's just a
fucking sack of bees that you throw a

776
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:25,119
people. Okay, that's dumb,
Yeah, but like a cool, a

777
00:46:25,159 --> 00:46:29,960
cool silly ass idea that I ended
up almost never using. Yeah, I

778
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,840
just wonder though, if that's gonna
translate, because like I like the big

779
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:36,159
explosive stuff and for and really fucking
stuff up, and like, since obviously

780
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:37,639
this is not gonna have explosions and
stuff like that to that degree. I

781
00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:39,719
mean, you can set stuff on
fire. There are couple missions where like,

782
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,599
go burn a village and it has
the meter that woul show up when

783
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:46,800
you were burning the pot fields shows
up there, and you know, you

784
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,159
get to you get to burn an
outpost just through like fire bombs or just

785
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,559
I mean you set your weapon on
fire and then swing it at stuff and

786
00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:58,239
it sets it on fire. Prehistorics
real like sounds like like kind of the

787
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,360
same. Sometimes you'll find people in
the center of an outpost just banging on

788
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:07,480
a drum and you're going, yeah, did you redo? Did you redo?

789
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:10,800
Yes? Did you redo? Is
is the is the actual right answer?

790
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,480
It seems like if you're remotely worried
about burning out and far cary as

791
00:47:15,519 --> 00:47:19,480
I have been coming out of four
like if it would be, it would

792
00:47:19,519 --> 00:47:22,199
potentially be a bad idea to play
this. I feel like, if you

793
00:47:22,199 --> 00:47:25,639
know, if you've played the three
previous bar Cry games, like this one

794
00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:30,599
doesn't necessarily do enough to really,
you know, make you want to get

795
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,519
with it, And if you haven't
played those games, you should play those

796
00:47:35,559 --> 00:47:38,599
games instead of this. They actually
I think the sale just ended as of

797
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,960
like the day that this recording is
going out, But there was a bundle

798
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:47,159
on PSN that I noticed over the
weekend. There was twenty bucks for Farcry

799
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:53,599
four and Zombie the Zombie Geez.
That's ten dollars. Far Cry four is

800
00:47:55,039 --> 00:48:00,679
an infinite number of betters than Farcry
Primal here Zombies all right too. But

801
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,519
I like that game on with you. I haven't played the I haven't played

802
00:48:04,519 --> 00:48:07,960
that before. Four is an excellent
game though, Yeah, crucially with like

803
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,239
a really good story that made me
want to keep exploring the world and finding

804
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,320
stuff in it and enjoyed it,
you know. And yeah, so the

805
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:20,280
Primal is not without it's it's positive
side, you know. But and I

806
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,480
figure, as much as I like
the other ones, if it's fifteen hours

807
00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:24,519
and it's more far Cry, like, I'm gonna do it. It sounds

808
00:48:24,519 --> 00:48:28,599
pretty cool. Like I'm gonna say, like to keep in mind that you're

809
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,239
doing it for a price of zero
dollars. This is true. Oh yeah,

810
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,320
you're in the sixty dollars thing.
Yeah, if you know, it's

811
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,840
a great thing to remember. Yeah, you know, like think about going

812
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:44,559
out and spending a full retail price
on on this thing. Yeah, even

813
00:48:44,599 --> 00:48:46,960
in your specific case, I think
that's is maybe not a but again,

814
00:48:47,039 --> 00:48:51,599
yeah, even even setting the cost
of entry aside, Like just the amount

815
00:48:51,599 --> 00:48:54,159
of stuff crammed in there seems overwhelming. It's well, the thing is is

816
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,239
it's crammed full of stuff, but
that stuff's not the stuff you want out

817
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,800
of another far cry again, you
know, it's that's what I mean.

818
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:01,639
It's it's too much of it.
Yeah, it's like, you know,

819
00:49:02,039 --> 00:49:05,639
like I said, I was about
thirty five percent complete, So like,

820
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,920
what, maybe seventy percent of that
game is busy work. Sixty percent of

821
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,400
that game is busy work. Even
some of the main missions felt like a

822
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:15,360
little more than Yeah, the mission
I watched you do was basically taking an

823
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:21,079
outpost yeah and hitting square on some
stuff. Yeah. There there are you

824
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:23,039
know, multiple missions that are like
that that are part of and then there's

825
00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:27,400
like fourteen main missions in the game, but it's not like some big long

826
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,480
thing. So yeah, if they
had tightened up a lot of this instead

827
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,119
of like expanding on this stuff,
if they had made a tighter, more

828
00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:38,239
focused experience, like something it's similar
in theory to Blood Dragon, if not

829
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:44,159
an execution, I think that that
Primal would be a better game that way,

830
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,079
that would serve this idea better.
Yeah, and it's really weird.

831
00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:50,800
I want, like you have to
wonder, like where the did a team

832
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,880
set out to make another Blood Dragon
and then go like, hey, we

833
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,480
need another disc based product for this
quarter. You guys should really like I

834
00:49:57,519 --> 00:50:00,960
wonder if there's some story behind the
development, because like it just seems out

835
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:06,320
of balance. It's very out of
sync with it's itself, is there and

836
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,480
it's no fun shway, the Yet
and the Yang are out in far cry

837
00:50:09,519 --> 00:50:13,880
Primal. Is there anything holding you
back from just mainlining the story? You

838
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,119
say there's thirteen or fourteen missions,
Like, is it you have to get

839
00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:20,519
this many whatever bolt of things,
so you could just you can more or

840
00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:22,519
less just do it. I wonder
how long it would take to just do

841
00:50:22,599 --> 00:50:24,679
that. I mean because it sounds
like you did a decent amount of other

842
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,159
stuff, which I really think some
of that side stuff is the most fun

843
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:31,000
stuff in Far Cry. So maybe
that's a bad idea. Yeah, yeah,

844
00:50:31,039 --> 00:50:34,159
I think that side stuff's not great. You know, I ended up

845
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:37,039
taking a lot of outposts, you
know, and then there are also bonfires,

846
00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:39,880
which are like outposts but way smaller. Uh Like, here's a bond,

847
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,199
here's a stack of wood and three
guys around it. Kill them,

848
00:50:44,519 --> 00:50:46,519
spark up the wood, and then
here's another fast travel point for you.

849
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:52,639
Uh So it's like they added outposts
on top of outposts, you know.

850
00:50:52,679 --> 00:50:55,360
And you know, the outpost stuff
I think is not like it's interesting because

851
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,239
you know, you don't have a
sniper rifle. The range is much tighter

852
00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:05,039
than it is in previous Far Cry. But I don't know. The outpost

853
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:07,400
taking didn't move me. You know, it has all the same stuff,

854
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,840
like instead of alarm boxes, there
are horns laying around that you know,

855
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,760
you can shoot or you can you
know, throw a spear out to break

856
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,079
from a distance, or walk up
and hold down the button to you know,

857
00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:17,119
disarm them like it was an alarm, right, and you can do

858
00:51:17,159 --> 00:51:20,639
the stealth approach to like these whole
outposts. Yeah, and you get the

859
00:51:20,639 --> 00:51:22,280
double XP for you know, not
setting off any alarms and all the other

860
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,639
stuff. And they'll call in more
guys if they can blow the horn.

861
00:51:24,679 --> 00:51:28,280
And there are guys that just have
horns, you know, so you got

862
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,199
to get those guys too. And
some of them have masks that make you

863
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,480
know, their helmets to prevent you
know, headshots. Right, it seems

864
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,239
like there was an analog for just
about everything from the game. Yeah,

865
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,960
same, same little icons floating over
their heads and everything. Yes, there's

866
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,800
there's like that. That That alone, right there was enough to make me

867
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,480
look at this and go, like, you know what, I want to

868
00:51:45,519 --> 00:51:49,800
be excited the next time they announced
a proper numbered new far Cry. Yeah,

869
00:51:50,039 --> 00:51:52,360
and that makes it seem kind of
perilous to also play this one a

870
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,480
year and change after the last one
came out. I yes, I guess

871
00:51:55,480 --> 00:52:00,679
I would agree with you there,
Like it just feels absolutely option well where

872
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,360
I felt that the previous three games
were some of the best games that were

873
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,519
out in their respective years, but
Blood dragon less, so I didn't enjoy

874
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:08,719
that as much as some other people
did. But for a little diversion.

875
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,599
I think it. Yeah, for
a little version, I think it was

876
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:13,719
was really good. Yeah, and
it was different enough, even if like

877
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,880
the humor didn't land for everyone,
you know, which you didn't really do

878
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,079
much for me. It played differently
and it also had an amazing look to

879
00:52:20,119 --> 00:52:22,519
it. Yes, they did something
esthetically really interesting, So I really did

880
00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:25,480
like that aspect of it for sure, where this kind of just looks like

881
00:52:25,519 --> 00:52:30,360
four with less machinery. Yeah,
I mean those Farkry three and fry Are

882
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,840
four are some of my favorite games
of the past few years, and this

883
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:39,880
one is most definitely not all right
there, you haven't you know, it's

884
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:45,159
about as definitive as you're get on
that one, Drew. I understand you've

885
00:52:45,159 --> 00:52:47,679
brought something to show the class.
That's right. Let me throw some words

886
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,639
at you. Did you Did you
bring enough to share? Uh? In

887
00:52:51,679 --> 00:53:00,239
fact, yes, because I played
Warhammer. Huh. Forty thousand Space Marine?

888
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:06,760
No, there are space marines involved, Death Watch okay, one word,

889
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:13,039
Tyrannid invasion Okay, there like dessert
rag yeah right, listen up,

890
00:53:13,079 --> 00:53:16,000
giant space bugs. Yeah, okay, I'm from Buenos Aires and I say

891
00:53:16,039 --> 00:53:21,360
kill them all. Well you can
on iOS, the only way to be

892
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,039
sure. And on Steam. Oh, the Steam versions like twenty five bucks.

893
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,239
I don't know much about that.
When I was playing the iOS one,

894
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,880
yeah, I got full free because
it's the app of the leak.

895
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,920
You just had me download that.
Yeah during the break? What is that?

896
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,280
What am I currently? Like?
Oh? Really? Which is great

897
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:43,719
because x Com didn't come out anywhere
else but the PC. Yeah, so

898
00:53:44,079 --> 00:53:45,719
full on turd based rategy then.
Yeah, it was a big grid.

899
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,119
Okay, you move your guys,
you got action points? All right,

900
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,760
you gotta overwatch. I'm into all
these things. There's not perma death.

901
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:58,320
Your guys if they die lose their
XP that they would have gained that round

902
00:53:58,639 --> 00:54:02,239
because everybody levels up and you got
year. There are card packs you can

903
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:07,159
buy for real money. Mmm.
I've not bought one. Mm but apparently

904
00:54:07,199 --> 00:54:12,599
the campaign's pretty lengthy. Does it
played pretty well? Yeah, it's great.

905
00:54:12,679 --> 00:54:16,760
It's it's really well designed using unreal
engine, I think, and uh

906
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,519
yeah, the like iconography is really
good, Like you can tell how many

907
00:54:22,519 --> 00:54:24,159
action points a guy has left,
how much health. It's like really clear

908
00:54:24,199 --> 00:54:30,079
and easy to see and appears to
be just a lot simpler than Xcom and

909
00:54:30,119 --> 00:54:36,320
not as punishingly difficult. I have
heard that it's maybe a little boring in

910
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,320
the beginning, like just a little
slow learning the basics, but then like

911
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:44,280
once your guys level up, then
it starts to get pretty good. It

912
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,800
is effectively a complete game. It's
not wrapped around free to play style design

913
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:53,840
stuff. I have not seen much
free play grossness. I believe that the

914
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:59,400
card packs you get are like gear
related. It looks like they normally charge,

915
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,159
we're charge and bucks for that thing, so maybe they didn't necessarily sell

916
00:55:02,159 --> 00:55:05,239
it as a free to play thing, and it's just free right now?

917
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,719
How many phones is that game downloading
too? In this room? Right now?

918
00:55:07,519 --> 00:55:10,199
I think just yours? You guys, don't no, no, no,

919
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:14,159
I'll get it later. Okay.
It's big, it's like a gig

920
00:55:14,199 --> 00:55:17,480
and a half, and I don't
think it works on iPhone fives M,

921
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:22,519
so okay, that's good. I
download games like that on an iPad.

922
00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:28,400
I don't because the iPad is usually
where I scamp on the gigs because it's

923
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,199
so much more expensive. Where it's
like I'll do the full like two hundred

924
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:36,599
and fifty whatever gigs on the phone. Whatever the is. It was always

925
00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:39,480
on a hundred dollars separation on both
usually. Okay, then maybe my justification

926
00:55:39,559 --> 00:55:43,400
was that I use my phone way
more, and then I use my iPad

927
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,079
mainly for streaming stuff or Google docs
and stuff. iPad's got a bigger battery,

928
00:55:47,159 --> 00:55:51,280
that's why. Yeah, that's why
I like play. You don't bigger

929
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,960
screen. I don't. But I
don't play games on the go. I

930
00:55:53,039 --> 00:55:55,920
play them like in bed. You
don't like on the commute or anything.

931
00:55:57,039 --> 00:56:00,519
No, Okay, I drive,
so I can't. That's true, can

932
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:05,000
I can't I play games on the
commute. It's nice. You should get

933
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,280
with a mask? Uh why does
that sound so familiar? Jeff mentioned it?

934
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:12,159
It's some right, Yeah, that's
why Down two of the Mask good.

935
00:56:12,199 --> 00:56:14,440
What is that game like? It's
kind of like pac Man two fire

936
00:56:14,679 --> 00:56:16,719
right? Yeah? Okay, yes, maybe it's good. But you slide

937
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:21,199
around, Yeah, it's good collecting
dots high score challenge, then it's good.

938
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:22,159
I don't. I don't play a
whole lot of games while commuting,

939
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:25,800
but every once in a while,
yep, we moved to Drakes. Yes,

940
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,480
Kingdom Rush is a good one.
I actually beat World three of Crypto

941
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,039
the Necrod answer on the bus this
morning, which is crazy because it's fucking

942
00:56:32,119 --> 00:56:36,039
impossible to play that game on a
bouncy bush. Yeah, but here we

943
00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:42,440
are, Uh, mobile games,
mobile games. It's like playing video games,

944
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,960
but but on new telephone but being
out somewhere. Yeah, I guess

945
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,239
that's how that works. Uh,
what else will do? Oh? I've

946
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,559
been let's get our quick weekly street
Fighter check in. Oh is it working?

947
00:56:54,679 --> 00:56:59,880
It's I don't know, it's it's
I I played some over the weekend.

948
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:06,800
I got some streamed some for a
little while, but most of my

949
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,320
matches did not get uploaded to the
server. I won some ranked matches and

950
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,119
didn't get the points. If I
didn't, I didn't. I did see

951
00:57:12,159 --> 00:57:14,559
at a point that I think I
might have had more LT than you,

952
00:57:14,679 --> 00:57:15,880
or maybe it was on your PC
account. I forget, which yeah,

953
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:22,440
I'm barely playing on the PCs,
I forget. But yeah, it's uh,

954
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:27,159
I really enjoy playing that game.
I'm trying to get better at it

955
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,280
by just like being a little more
patient. And you know, it's like

956
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,280
I'm I'm not jumping at all,
and I'm just jumping in all the time,

957
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,440
trying to just I'm trying to get
that part down and then I'll figure

958
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,320
out what to do after when I
don't jump, what do you do instead

959
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,719
of jumping? Like like I said, when we did the quick look,

960
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,440
right now, I'm just doing low
sweeps, okay, just crouching roundhouse whatever

961
00:57:49,519 --> 00:57:52,239
again, And that's not working out. Actually that I was working out better

962
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,039
than jumping in. You know what, the single most terrifying thing is any

963
00:57:55,039 --> 00:58:00,000
fighting game to me, just walking
towards the opponent. Yeah, just walking

964
00:58:00,039 --> 00:58:05,519
toward them. I can't do it. I cannot force myself to just approach

965
00:58:05,559 --> 00:58:07,119
them on foot. But yeah,
I mean I'm either going to jump in

966
00:58:07,159 --> 00:58:10,920
at them or I'm going to duck
and block one or the other. That's

967
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,880
it. Yeah, that's how I
play fighting game. Is the only way

968
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,199
is to play. I don't know, I don't know. It's yeah,

969
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,760
it's you know, when it works, it works really well. The net

970
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,840
code and stuff feels really good.
I'm enjoying that aspect of it quite a

971
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:29,400
bit. I feel like I'm starting
to try to wrap my mind around being

972
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,280
a better player, and I don't
know, like with the game not working

973
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,199
super well, I feel like the
window is closing where at some point I'm

974
00:58:35,199 --> 00:58:37,159
just gonna get so fed up with
how long it takes to get into matches

975
00:58:37,239 --> 00:58:42,320
sometimes or you know, like mean
winning matches and not getting the points for

976
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:47,960
it. Like it's, yeah,
I wonder how long long I'll stick with

977
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,119
it. But the flip side of
this crazy update schedule they've got is that

978
00:58:52,159 --> 00:58:55,920
those will probably bring people back who
have gotten frustrated with server instability. Just

979
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,480
don't think my feature, and then
the service can be on stable. All

980
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,239
over alls come back. Everybody's going
to come back. But yeah, so

981
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,639
it's I don't know, They're they're
having a four hour maintenance window on Monday

982
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:12,280
today, I mean yesterday, sorry, right, yesterday twenty second to say

983
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,400
that we already lived and completed.
Yes, uh and hey maybe on the

984
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,599
other end of that it'll be great, right, I don't know. Yeah,

985
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,000
that stuff's frustrating, but it's a
yeah, it's it's been cool,

986
00:59:22,239 --> 00:59:27,000
and I spent a bunch of time
this weekend actually kind of setting up a

987
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,559
home office. It's it's it's pretty
much operational now. It's not pretty,

988
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,039
but it's a TV with a PlayStation
four hooked up to it. Do you

989
00:59:34,119 --> 00:59:36,599
have many fridge? No? No, I don't. I don't. I

990
00:59:36,599 --> 00:59:38,920
don't need an office where you do
work yeah, but sooda isn't there,

991
00:59:39,559 --> 00:59:42,800
uh, and then I have a
fridge full of soot? Does I can

992
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,599
just walk out there and there's all
kinds of stuff out there, just like

993
00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:49,079
over the whole point of this is
to like actually live in the house,

994
00:59:50,199 --> 00:59:52,199
like instead of like one or two
rooms all the time, okay, like

995
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,280
not living like a dorm, not
living like I have roommates, like actually

996
00:59:55,280 --> 01:00:01,239
spreading, exploring and I'm exploring our
spone okay, okay, yeah, yeah,

997
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,639
my estate, you'd probably get like
a razor scooter or something to move

998
01:00:04,639 --> 01:00:07,400
around faster. Yeah, probably probably. Maybe we're probably going to yank the

999
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:12,320
carpets out of that place eventually.
Here, that'll be it'll be a little

1000
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,760
more razor scooter friendly once, once
we get some maybe some hardwood or something

1001
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:20,719
like that. I don't know.
Keeping the arcade machines yeah nice, Yeah,

1002
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,760
yeah, though I might. I
don't know, Like I have that

1003
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,119
missile command machine that's kind of sucked
up and I don't really need it because

1004
01:00:25,119 --> 01:00:29,039
it's I mean, it's playable,
but it's not like I have no passion

1005
01:00:29,079 --> 01:00:32,039
for it, So I might look
to get rid of that at some point,

1006
01:00:32,599 --> 01:00:38,960
I'm not sure. And that smash
TV machine still does not work,

1007
01:00:39,079 --> 01:00:43,360
right, I need to send emails. This is it's it's all my fault.

1008
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,039
Things could could have been different,
but it does not work right now

1009
01:00:47,119 --> 01:00:51,440
anyway. So yeah, I've been
setting that up and now like I so

1010
01:00:51,559 --> 01:00:54,440
I went and hooked up the HDMI
splitter and the Elgatto and all this stuff.

1011
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,920
So that's all hooked up, the
consoles hooked up to the PC kind

1012
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,199
of permanently, like it's all in
one room. It's all you know,

1013
01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:02,639
no cables running all over the place. The only problem is now my cable

1014
01:01:02,679 --> 01:01:07,159
modem goes into the master bedroom,
but I've moved the router into this office

1015
01:01:07,239 --> 01:01:10,639
room, so now I've got ethernet
running up the hallway. Yeah, so

1016
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:15,039
I'm in a similar situation. Yeah, so mounted mine around the baseboard.

1017
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,920
Yeah that's I can actually come to
the cable under the base but it has

1018
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:22,480
to run across the whole way to
a point where leaving the master bedroom you

1019
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,159
are now going to cross that cable
and potentially trip. So I was thinking

1020
01:01:25,199 --> 01:01:27,960
about it, like should tape it
down? Like I just don't. I'm

1021
01:01:28,119 --> 01:01:31,360
I'm actually super bad with cable management, Like all my cables are like as

1022
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,800
I'm setting this stuff up, I'm
realizing that all the cables that I just

1023
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,599
already have are like six inches too
short to do what I need to do.

1024
01:01:38,519 --> 01:01:43,639
So cables start shitty. They're terrible. I hate cables. I am

1025
01:01:43,639 --> 01:01:45,880
with you, cable management. It's
a giant albatross around the neck and I,

1026
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,519
you know, I and I want
to see them. Of course,

1027
01:01:47,519 --> 01:01:51,400
the Ethernet cable I bought to run
from one room to the other is like

1028
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,840
about probably about ten feet too long. So now I've got that coiled up

1029
01:01:54,039 --> 01:01:59,079
and it's just, yeah, it's
unsightly. It's a hassle. So eventually

1030
01:01:59,119 --> 01:02:01,280
I'm gonna have to get out of
the house and move the cable that the

1031
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,559
cable motan goes do push it up
into this other room, and then everything

1032
01:02:04,599 --> 01:02:08,599
will be fine on that front.
It's a process. It's a process.

1033
01:02:08,679 --> 01:02:13,800
I have relatively simple tastes and dreams. All I ever really wanted out of

1034
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,119
life is to live in a house
with wired either neet and like HDMI drops

1035
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:21,280
in every room. That's kind of
it. But when HDMI goes away,

1036
01:02:22,599 --> 01:02:27,079
what if you wired what it?
Yeah, oh you mean hd based t

1037
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,000
that's supposed to happen like five years
ago. Where did that go? I

1038
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:34,519
don't know. That would make my
job a lot easier. Video video over

1039
01:02:34,519 --> 01:02:36,679
either neet was supposed to be a
thing and it didn't happen. Yeah,

1040
01:02:36,719 --> 01:02:38,119
I don't know why. Uh.
And then you know what if you wired

1041
01:02:38,159 --> 01:02:40,920
your walls with CAT five and then
realize you needed a CAT six, We

1042
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,599
just do a CAT CAT six right
up front? Yeah, I mean now,

1043
01:02:45,679 --> 01:02:47,039
yeah, you would definitely do CAT
six. But what if you did

1044
01:02:47,079 --> 01:02:52,159
it when you first had the idea. I'm saying, like, putting wiring

1045
01:02:52,159 --> 01:02:55,800
in your wall that it will be
obsolete seems terrible. I've got phone jacks

1046
01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:00,840
in most of my room. Fuck
that any of them being used. Yes,

1047
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:06,000
I do have a landline, okay, in case of emergencies or emergency

1048
01:03:06,039 --> 01:03:08,760
pizza. Okay. I don't know, like I shouldn't have it. It's

1049
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,719
forty dollars a month that I'm spending
for no good reason. When was the

1050
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:17,639
last time you used it? I
don't know. You should cancel that.

1051
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,159
It's the phone number I've had since
I was thirteen, so it's a nostalgia

1052
01:03:23,239 --> 01:03:27,840
forty dollars. My parents are My
parents are are faced with the exact same

1053
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,719
quandary right now, having a thirty
year old phone number, yeah, and

1054
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:34,039
not knowing what to do with it. Yeah, Like I I've had that

1055
01:03:34,039 --> 01:03:36,480
phone number since I was in junior
high when I first got my phone,

1056
01:03:36,559 --> 01:03:38,000
and I moved away for a while, my parents kept the phone because my

1057
01:03:38,039 --> 01:03:40,719
mom was using as a modem line
or something like that. Like it feels

1058
01:03:40,719 --> 01:03:44,039
wrong not to have that phone number
anymore somehow. Yeah, And when I

1059
01:03:44,079 --> 01:03:46,559
moved back to town, I'm like, I got the phone number from them,

1060
01:03:46,679 --> 01:03:54,519
and yeah, but also like now
I've had my cell number for a

1061
01:03:54,559 --> 01:03:58,159
really long time too, and I
don't want to change that, right.

1062
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,840
Otherwise I would just take that number. Though that number has been given out

1063
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:05,840
by my hoodlum friends and anyone that
knows it. The home one, yeah,

1064
01:04:06,239 --> 01:04:09,880
as to telemarketers, and it's on
a zillion list, So it just

1065
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:13,639
rings off the hook with bullshit.
So I wouldn't want to port it to

1066
01:04:13,679 --> 01:04:15,639
anything because then all that bullshit would
come along with it. Wait, so

1067
01:04:15,679 --> 01:04:18,639
it's hooked up and your phone is
actively ringing all the time, I have

1068
01:04:18,679 --> 01:04:21,159
the ringer turned off. Okay.
I was gonna say, you're paying forty

1069
01:04:21,199 --> 01:04:25,320
dollars a month to get like telemarketing
cults, yeah, and nostalgia. But

1070
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,280
I can look up the phone numbers
and go like, oh, that's who

1071
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,280
that scumbag was. Okay, you
know that's fun sometimes look at these eight

1072
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,360
hundred numbers that are calling me all
the time. Yeah, I should probably

1073
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:38,960
cancel it. But it's I gave
that phone number out on television when I

1074
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,440
was in high school when I had
a public access show. You know,

1075
01:04:42,599 --> 01:04:44,760
that was the listener line. You
know, Like, I've had that phone

1076
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:48,840
number for fucking ever. So I'm
like weirdly attached to it. But at

1077
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,039
the same time, there's zero reason
to keep it. There's some way to

1078
01:04:51,079 --> 01:04:54,800
retire it, like a Jersey you
could hang somewhere. I wish you could,

1079
01:04:55,119 --> 01:04:57,159
you know, like no one else
could. Yeah, if I could,

1080
01:04:57,159 --> 01:04:58,880
like if I could like park it
and say, hey, I don't

1081
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,880
want to pay you for phone service, but how much do I have to

1082
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,480
pay you to keep you from giving
this number out to anyone? So I

1083
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,039
was actually thinking like, maybe there's
a way. Yeah, I guess that's

1084
01:05:05,119 --> 01:05:11,480
that. Yes, the actual answer
is apparently forty dollars a month. I

1085
01:05:11,519 --> 01:05:13,440
was trying to think, like,
Okay, maybe I could go through the

1086
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,480
process of so I read someone you
can't port it directly to a Google Voice

1087
01:05:17,519 --> 01:05:24,920
number, but you can port a
cell number to Google Voice. So if

1088
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,599
I can take this landline, port
it to a burner and then port the

1089
01:05:28,679 --> 01:05:33,159
burner number to Google Voice, oh
wow, I can keep that number digitally

1090
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,920
for way less than forty dollars a
month. And you know, and like,

1091
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:40,880
the last thing I was holding out
on is is I actually get really

1092
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:45,719
shitty cell coverage in the house,
and sometimes phone calls to that phone are

1093
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:50,079
not great. But the iOS beta, the nine point three beta that they're

1094
01:05:50,159 --> 01:05:57,000
running that I'm running, finally added
Wi Fi calling for Verizon, So now

1095
01:05:57,039 --> 01:06:00,960
I can do that crystal clear.
Fuck everything, Fuck everything? Wait what

1096
01:06:01,119 --> 01:06:04,960
is that Wi Fi calling? If
your cell signal is weak in certain areas,

1097
01:06:05,159 --> 01:06:10,639
it will handle the call over the
internet. Whoa, that's cool.

1098
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:14,760
Yeah, and now all the carriers
do have it. Wow. Verizon I

1099
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,119
think was the last holdouts for a
long time. That's that's the type of

1100
01:06:18,119 --> 01:06:21,119
thing we had to use that m
cell for the old Whiskey office exactly.

1101
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:27,480
Now you don't need them cells.
That's an amazing Uh. The only one

1102
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,239
thing it does do is is like
any voipe solution. It doesn't transmit like

1103
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,199
proper location information for nine one one, So when you turn it on,

1104
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,719
it says tell us where you are
in case of an emergency, and then

1105
01:06:36,719 --> 01:06:40,559
it says you should update this every
time you go somewhere, and you're like,

1106
01:06:40,639 --> 01:06:44,280
fucking no. So if I'm anywhere
other than home and have to call

1107
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:45,679
nine one one, well whatever,
I'm sure they're used to it. I'm

1108
01:06:45,679 --> 01:06:48,639
sure they're used to it. They'll
figure it. They'll figure it out that

1109
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:53,760
that's a tech problem that has to
be solved. The the like nine one

1110
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,920
one stuff. Have you used the
what's it called night shift on that data

1111
01:06:57,159 --> 01:06:59,360
sending? Good? Yeah, it's
fine, it's okay. It's like Flux

1112
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,119
work says I've ties it's like Flux, but not Flux, which the Flux

1113
01:07:01,159 --> 01:07:03,559
people are not happy. Oh they're
not. I read about that stuff.

1114
01:07:03,599 --> 01:07:09,440
They were, Yes, they seemed
very displeased that Apple did not just buy

1115
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,320
them to implement that as opposed to
do it themselves. I didn't even think

1116
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,400
it's that. I think they just
wanted they had a version of Flux fora

1117
01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:20,599
iosa. That stuff. It was
like install x code. They were I

1118
01:07:20,639 --> 01:07:25,039
think they were distributing a binary,
then telling people to sideload it instead of

1119
01:07:25,079 --> 01:07:28,039
just putting their source out there,
which is like the actual thing they're supposed

1120
01:07:28,039 --> 01:07:31,719
to do, if it is my
understand anyway, Phones anyway, Phones they're

1121
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,800
terrible. Yeah, they're dumb.
Who cares? Stop talking to Mobile World

1122
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:43,320
congress. Mobile World is more like
it Galaxy s snooze. You know what

1123
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:48,239
I'm saying. That's right, Bam, pop shelf material here. I found

1124
01:07:48,239 --> 01:07:53,320
my fucking T mobile sidekick while I
was cleaning up stuff. Destroy that thing

1125
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,559
with a hammer. No, it's
too good. It's the last good phone.

1126
01:07:57,039 --> 01:07:59,519
Let's get a Microsoft kin Okay,
okay, yeah, just find a

1127
01:07:59,519 --> 01:08:04,000
way to get it working then.
Yeah, we're not side talk on your

1128
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,320
iPhone. I mean didn't think so
fry. I don't know how well it

1129
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:12,239
would work. Uh Dan, can
you talk about Twilight Princess yet? Uh

1130
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,159
yeah? The game came out ten
years ago. No, okay, I'll

1131
01:08:15,159 --> 01:08:19,960
take that as a no. I
mean yeah, yeah, I can it

1132
01:08:20,079 --> 01:08:24,560
is HD. Yeah. Man,
I'm having a lot of thoughts playing that

1133
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,920
game. Like seven hours in,
I'm definitely in for long haul. I'm

1134
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,479
going to beat it again because I
haven't beat it since oh six Those were

1135
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:36,279
the days. That's what I'm struggling
with is trying to remember back then.

1136
01:08:38,239 --> 01:08:41,359
I read my old review, and
I seem to be very positive about it

1137
01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:44,399
back then, but now I'm trying
to see it through a different lens of

1138
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:45,720
you know, it's ten years later. Back then, it was still kind

1139
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,239
of amidst all the hype and everything
of the week coming out in this whether

1140
01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:51,960
or not I liked motion controls,
and whether I was trying to convince myself

1141
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,079
I liked it, and now being
so far removed from it and just playing

1142
01:08:56,079 --> 01:08:59,640
it as a Zelda game, I
think, Yeah. I mean, my

1143
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:06,359
my primary issue with Twilight Princess,
My actual real thing with that game was

1144
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:13,840
that it just, you know,
like they established that formula with Acarina,

1145
01:09:14,079 --> 01:09:16,760
Yeah, you know, and by
the time they came around to Twilight Princess,

1146
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:21,079
like the formula was old. It
felt like that they had just kind

1147
01:09:21,079 --> 01:09:27,600
of taken the same thing and like
thought, like, well, what if

1148
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,439
there's a wolf, Like like that
was the idea, you know, did

1149
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:31,279
you see that wolf? Did you
see that wolf? Yeah? It was

1150
01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:36,399
like, oh you see that wolf? Damn, you know, like like

1151
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:41,840
that was the check out that wolf. It's an amibo now yeah, yeah,

1152
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,600
so like it it's you know,
like it just felt like that they

1153
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:46,279
had to come up with a hook
to try to make it different, but

1154
01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:49,239
it was the same thing again,
you know, and which I think they

1155
01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:54,239
wanted to do the same thing because
so many people freaked out about Windwaker,

1156
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:59,000
unjustly because that was all awesome.
Windwaker sold just fine. Well, yeah,

1157
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,880
I know, weird outcry in the
backlash from Zelda fan Zelda and all

1158
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,439
that shit, and people were pissed
off, you remember that after the Space

1159
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,359
World demo and every But I feel
like when that game came out, like

1160
01:10:06,359 --> 01:10:09,119
you know, yeah, that happened
a little bit, but by the time

1161
01:10:09,119 --> 01:10:12,079
Twilight Princess came around, like no
one was going like I'm pissed at win

1162
01:10:12,119 --> 01:10:15,239
Waker. I feel like there's still
definitely were like amongst like hardcore Zelda fans,

1163
01:10:15,279 --> 01:10:17,840
all those people are not hardcore Zelda
fans, right, because it's a

1164
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:23,119
great Celtic Zelda game. Yeah I
don't. I don't normally like to fucking

1165
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,560
pull that type of ship. But
if you don't like win Waker, you

1166
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,760
don't like the listen of Zelda.
Yeah, yeah, but I feel like

1167
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:32,119
that was what Twilight Princess was was
kind of this reaction to that weird outcry

1168
01:10:32,159 --> 01:10:34,800
against It's like, okay, so
you didn't like the cartoon stuff, all

1169
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,720
right, let's make like the darkest
Zela we've made yet, and it's very

1170
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,119
much gonna be like green. Here's
hiro Field, Here's Epina, here's you

1171
01:10:42,159 --> 01:10:48,359
know, Gana. If some people
say epona, I've always said epinaypponapa epa.

1172
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:54,720
See if they if they had made
link speak, I solve this problem.

1173
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,760
I know you have felt that way
and you like that. Well,

1174
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,439
it wasn't even necessarily like feeling that
way. It was more than like by

1175
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,720
the time they got The Twilight Princess, I feel like the formula had you

1176
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,560
know, they had made that game
before, you know, and what they

1177
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,920
were doing to it, I don't
think added to it. You know,

1178
01:11:10,079 --> 01:11:14,239
they didn't make it dark enough.
They the stuff they added with the Wolf

1179
01:11:14,279 --> 01:11:17,439
didn't do enough to it, and
it just wasn't you know, it was

1180
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:21,520
successful, but it was spinning its
wheels. And I agree that they didn't

1181
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,039
do anything like I'm not even a
huge fan of the Wolf stuff, like

1182
01:11:25,079 --> 01:11:27,319
playing again now, like those parts
were right, Oh, I gotta be

1183
01:11:27,319 --> 01:11:31,079
the Wolf until I get twelve.
The thing in that game that is the

1184
01:11:31,079 --> 01:11:33,640
rest of it is like check it
out. We made another Legend of Zelda

1185
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,520
game, and I'm fine with I'm
really fine with it. And I don't

1186
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,399
know if that's just a nostalgic thing
since, like, you know, the

1187
01:11:40,399 --> 01:11:42,680
first couple of Zelda game, you
know, the first one and the third

1188
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,239
one were my first like favorite games
basically, uh, and I like just

1189
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,600
coming back to that every few years, like, oh, here's this nice

1190
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:53,439
thing that I remember, here's like
the beginning of my love of video games

1191
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:55,239
again. You know. It's like, oh, I'm gonna get the four

1192
01:11:55,319 --> 01:11:57,680
Heart Pieces, exceph It's five and
Twilight Princess, which I don't like.

1193
01:11:58,359 --> 01:12:00,359
Yeah, but I mean I like
that, I like getting the key,

1194
01:12:00,359 --> 01:12:01,399
I like get in the shield,
I like it in THEE. But I

1195
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,600
look at the progression and go like
Acarine of Time, like you know,

1196
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:08,000
invented the format, yeah, for
a Legend of Zelda in three D.

1197
01:12:08,079 --> 01:12:11,239
I mean know, it built sixty
four done, yeah, you know,

1198
01:12:11,279 --> 01:12:14,960
but but it built a template for
that type of action adventure, action RPG

1199
01:12:15,039 --> 01:12:17,279
whatever you want to call it with
polygons. Well, but yeah, but

1200
01:12:17,319 --> 01:12:21,319
in the basic format is linked to
the past three yeah, but you know,

1201
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,079
like that was enough of a shift, right, and the wind Waker

1202
01:12:25,199 --> 01:12:28,800
takes it in this completely different direction
with all the boat stuff and its visual

1203
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,199
style, like it's a it's it's
a departure in a lot of ways,

1204
01:12:31,359 --> 01:12:35,159
while still kind of giving you enough
of the familiar Zelda stuff. Twilight Princess

1205
01:12:35,199 --> 01:12:40,720
to me, felt like this like
regression back to like the safe spot of

1206
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,600
like, well, we got this
wolf stuff in here, but really we

1207
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,359
just kind of made another legend of
Zela game and like its visual style is

1208
01:12:45,359 --> 01:12:48,479
not necessarily unique, its visual style
doesn't really didn't really stand out at the

1209
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:53,960
time, Like it felt like a
timid legend of Zelda game at a time

1210
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,600
when like they could have followed up
The wind Waker was something that went even

1211
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,520
further, not necessarily make a cartoony, but like they could have put more

1212
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:04,000
into it. And so Twilight Princess
felt like this, like, you know,

1213
01:13:04,159 --> 01:13:06,840
back to square one, back to
the formula sort of thing. There

1214
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:10,439
you go. I got an idea
instead of on the water, what if

1215
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,920
you're in the sky. You know, at least they tried, you know,

1216
01:13:14,279 --> 01:13:16,119
like I don't like, I don't
I don't like Skywards or I'm sorry,

1217
01:13:16,119 --> 01:13:17,680
I just I just one of the
weaker ones. Yeah, I just

1218
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:19,760
don't like it. But it's still
good, but it's it's weak. I

1219
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,520
just I just don't like it,
you know. I wish there was I

1220
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,760
wish it was better. Flying around
was not nearly as satisfying a sailing for

1221
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:30,279
some reason. It was because all
those little fucking rocks and planted there's nothing

1222
01:13:30,279 --> 01:13:32,800
there. You'd get like one chest
with like is annoying. Yeah, whereas

1223
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,960
like the Islands and wind Waker actually
felt like there was something like to explore,

1224
01:13:36,079 --> 01:13:39,359
like little cave systems and stuff.
So yeah, so by the time

1225
01:13:39,359 --> 01:13:44,319
Twilight Princess came along, like I
think that like they had done more from

1226
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,560
Akarina It's a Windwaker than they did
from you know, but you forgot what's

1227
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,319
in between those two. That's that's
the one that was the most bold.

1228
01:13:51,399 --> 01:13:55,640
That's the far cry primal of Legend
of Zelda games. You know. That's

1229
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,000
that's the Blood Dragon. You know, it's it's the departure game, like

1230
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,000
it, you know, whatever,
if you get great like it, like

1231
01:14:00,039 --> 01:14:02,359
it's top five, top five zone, but it's not even you know,

1232
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:05,800
it's it's it doesn't it's its own
weird thing. And that's but so was.

1233
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:10,079
I mean, wind Waker was a
weird departure. Windwaker is a sequel,

1234
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:14,960
proper like mainline legend of Zelda game. I mean, Major's Mask is

1235
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,560
a mainline Legendor's Mask is like Zelda
Guy Den, Dude, it's not even

1236
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:23,119
close. It's it's the same link
from Makarine of Time. It's a sequel

1237
01:14:23,199 --> 01:14:28,079
to a game that when they make
sequels, they make larger changes than they've

1238
01:14:28,079 --> 01:14:31,000
made, you know, like everyone
considers that. But that's like, that's

1239
01:14:31,039 --> 01:14:34,920
like you're sitting there going like you're
you're basically defending Final Fantasy. Tend to

1240
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:38,479
make that exact comparison, which are
you putting with Jordan in the same camp

1241
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:42,159
as like a Four Swords Adventures or
Triforce Heroes or that kind of like spinoff.

1242
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:44,960
I mean, it's closer. Yeah, it's more robust than that,

1243
01:14:45,039 --> 01:14:48,199
but it's closer to that than no
way than that sort of stuff. And

1244
01:14:48,239 --> 01:14:50,000
you can like it all you want, but it's not. It's not the

1245
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:55,479
same thing. It's ten it's totally
tend to It's Lightning Returns. It's the

1246
01:14:55,520 --> 01:15:00,239
legend of Zell the Lightning returns.
But it completely changed. It turned every

1247
01:15:00,279 --> 01:15:02,159
expansion it was, it was it
was supposed to be expansion would do.

1248
01:15:02,359 --> 01:15:04,239
If it was an expansion pack,
it would just be like, hey,

1249
01:15:04,279 --> 01:15:08,279
here's three new dungeons. That's what
an offshoot or it's a remix, Like

1250
01:15:08,319 --> 01:15:12,199
it feels like a remix, completely
different. But that's what I'm saying,

1251
01:15:12,319 --> 01:15:14,239
Like with the existing tools, I
mean, you know, with the exist

1252
01:15:14,319 --> 01:15:16,239
look and all that stuff, the
same engine and a lot of the same

1253
01:15:16,279 --> 01:15:19,239
assets, with like some weird gameplay
tweaks in it, and it's you know,

1254
01:15:19,399 --> 01:15:23,680
it's it's inventive, and they went
in a weird direction, and like

1255
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,960
I will honestly applaud them for that, even though I just I just don't

1256
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,159
think that's a very good game.
It's not for me. I'm glad that

1257
01:15:30,159 --> 01:15:33,760
you applaud the wind Waker changes though, because that was it's a huge changes.

1258
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,319
One of the best games they've made, yea, even with the back

1259
01:15:36,359 --> 01:15:40,199
third being a little heavy, which
they fixed at the ahde oh my god,

1260
01:15:40,239 --> 01:15:42,439
the HD one. If you haven't
played wind Waker, that HD thing,

1261
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,039
it fixes everything. Yeah, it's
so good. So that that was

1262
01:15:45,079 --> 01:15:47,880
the thing with Twilight Princess was this
feeling of just like, man, they

1263
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,319
could their Nintendo this is the legend
of Zelda. They could do more and

1264
01:15:51,359 --> 01:15:55,800
they weren't, and they were you
know, it wasn't about like links speaking

1265
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,880
like who cares really, It was
more about like, there's more they could

1266
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:02,159
be doing here, And that's actually
the thing that has me really excited about

1267
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,520
where they're going to go from here, like what they've been saying about the

1268
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:11,399
next game, like because they it's
not you know, because when that Twilight

1269
01:16:11,399 --> 01:16:14,119
Princess review went up, there was
a bit of a then there was a

1270
01:16:14,119 --> 01:16:16,079
bit of a hubbub about it,
and it was one of those things,

1271
01:16:16,079 --> 01:16:18,239
one of those times where like,
you know, like I didn't necessarily talk

1272
01:16:18,279 --> 01:16:20,399
to a lot of people of publishers
at the time because I was on the

1273
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,159
review side pretty strictly and stuff like
that, but you know, you kind

1274
01:16:24,159 --> 01:16:29,039
of hear bits and pieces occasionally back
from publishers about like we think you're right,

1275
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,359
all right, yeah, and you
know sometimes you hear things like,

1276
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,600
oh, you know, there's there's
people that internally that might acknowledge like,

1277
01:16:36,039 --> 01:16:39,159
yeah, it's kind of it's kind
of that, right, And that was

1278
01:16:39,239 --> 01:16:42,680
that was one of those funny cases
of hearing that about that game when the

1279
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,760
Internet was on fire about Yeah,
okay, it's a formula that they like,

1280
01:16:47,039 --> 01:16:50,239
they could be doing more, they
could be pushing. It's the legend

1281
01:16:50,279 --> 01:16:55,520
of Zelda. For Christ's sake,
thirty years this week of the since the

1282
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,920
first game came out in Japan,
Like, this is one of the most

1283
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,560
important franchise is for gaming, you
know. And Twilight Princess, I think

1284
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:09,680
was like a wheel spinning move that
like was very much not what they had

1285
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,199
been doing, even you know,
even though I don't like Major's mask,

1286
01:17:12,279 --> 01:17:15,920
at least that was like something really
crazy. Well, and Zelda historically has

1287
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,880
been their big flagship series that they
will take risks on because like I love

1288
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:23,239
all the Mario games, but those
have mostly played it safe outside of like,

1289
01:17:23,239 --> 01:17:26,359
oh hey he's got a pack's in
space. Yeah, it's been jumping

1290
01:17:26,359 --> 01:17:29,760
on turtles for thirty years. You
know, Zelda, they've done weird shit

1291
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,880
with from from the first sequel.
I mean, Zella two is completely different

1292
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:36,880
than an amazing game. Yeah,
yeah, but it's all right, I

1293
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:41,479
mean, you know, yeah,
I just but also a risk, yes,

1294
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,880
you know, a big departure like, nothing about Twilight Princess felt like

1295
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:45,439
a risk to me. It felt
like, you know, it felt like

1296
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,680
I said, it felt like them
very much kind of circling the wagons,

1297
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,680
going like, all right, guys, let's sing to the base. Yeah,

1298
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:53,319
let's make one more of these for
the new console and for the GameCube,

1299
01:17:53,319 --> 01:17:54,760
and all got pushed back, so
I guess we'll put it on the

1300
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,359
Wii. So, you know,
here's this kind of muddy looking Wii game,

1301
01:17:58,199 --> 01:18:01,199
and and that's the the problem that
I have with that game is that

1302
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:05,600
it was a formula that had been
well established and they just kind of made

1303
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:10,600
another one of those, and the
wolf stuff didn't didn't do enough. I

1304
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,479
find myself in a weird spot hearing
this and that I agree with pretty much

1305
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:17,279
everything you're saying. That they was
spinning its wheels, and I'm not big

1306
01:18:17,279 --> 01:18:21,119
on the wolf stuff necessarily. I
just I think I just like it more

1307
01:18:21,199 --> 01:18:25,600
because of that, Like, I
think I'm more okay with just like this

1308
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:29,039
is the Zelda. I like Zelda. I like that format. I'm not

1309
01:18:29,119 --> 01:18:30,359
tired of it, I don't you
know. I'm I'm very excited about what

1310
01:18:30,359 --> 01:18:33,159
the next one's gonna be and where
the series goes from here. But when

1311
01:18:33,159 --> 01:18:36,840
it comes down to it, even
just a by the numbers, this is

1312
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:41,600
a Zelda ass Zelda game. I
love those so much and everything about it,

1313
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,720
you know, the characters and the
music, and you know, just

1314
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,560
all the familiarity of that. I'm
by no means tired of that, you

1315
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,760
know. I if they remade just
like a new thing in the Aquarinum mold

1316
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,199
every four years, I'd play them
until the day I died and probably love

1317
01:18:53,239 --> 01:18:55,279
them. I think you know that. I ended up giving it a score

1318
01:18:55,279 --> 01:18:57,239
that said it was a great game, because you know, it's like by

1319
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,920
standards, by most other standards you're
looking at and go like, yeah,

1320
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:02,119
this is pretty well made, you
know, on its own, on its

1321
01:19:02,119 --> 01:19:08,039
own merits, as in a vacuum. There's nothing really wrong with that game.

1322
01:19:08,239 --> 01:19:11,199
I'll say one thing though, I've
really noticed that in the ten year

1323
01:19:11,239 --> 01:19:14,840
gap between the original release and now, horse control has gotten a lot better,

1324
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,800
and not in this like trying to
control Epin and this after playing Red

1325
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:21,760
Dead and The Witch are games with
better horse stuff. It is like Epina

1326
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,840
just hits the wall and it's just
full like wait for the animation for the

1327
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:30,640
full turnaround and that that's rough.
Yeah, yeah, this is a really

1328
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:38,520
hard conversation. But have canu Wine
didn't write a song called Penny's I guess

1329
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,760
Evan has probably named that because the
word ponies kind of in there. But

1330
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,239
I've always said eppen, and by
god, I'm I'm sticking with it.

1331
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,359
If you want to double down on
being wrong, I mean, I'm probably

1332
01:19:47,359 --> 01:19:49,199
wrong, but I'm not gonna train
to way I've said it. No,

1333
01:19:49,239 --> 01:19:54,079
Okay, no, that's fine.
Eight. But yeah, I'm might go

1334
01:19:54,079 --> 01:19:58,960
back to calling him Ryu while we're
at it. Dall Ism, dall Ism

1335
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:01,880
gets But yeah, I'm with you
on everything. I agree with. I

1336
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,479
totally see what you're saying, and
then totally valid. I see why some

1337
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,520
people would be like, all right, this is the same shit. Yeah,

1338
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,720
but I guess I'm just not tired
of the same shit yet. Hey,

1339
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,680
it's okay to like something and also
admitted shortcomings at the same time.

1340
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:15,479
Yeah, yeah, fully valid and
and acceptable. Yeah. I don't know

1341
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,600
if you remember how things went back
then, but apparently it's not yea.

1342
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,840
And also they changed the wallet size
and now we have bigger wallets from the

1343
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:28,560
start with real real nice Yeah,
so it's I just you know, I'm

1344
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,640
kind of interested in seeing the game
again because I haven't touched it since I

1345
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,920
played, because I ended up playing
the GameCube version as well, and this

1346
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:39,039
is that, yeah, which I've
never played the game pe one, So

1347
01:20:39,119 --> 01:20:42,960
playing it without having to do the
motion control shit and the world flipping a

1348
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,239
better game. It's a better game. I'm really liking it. But you

1349
01:20:45,279 --> 01:20:47,520
can also with the game pad do
the gyroscope aiming of the arrow and stuff,

1350
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,840
which actually works really well. Yeah
no, actually no, I really

1351
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:55,079
like that, like especially like the
mini games, the target shooting stuff like

1352
01:20:55,199 --> 01:20:58,279
that works great. I love that
in the three DS remix Vacherina Majora.

1353
01:20:58,399 --> 01:21:01,520
It's it's great here. So yeah, no huge overhauls that I've seen so

1354
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,439
far, I've always done. I'm
seven hours in and I'm not even at

1355
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:08,720
the second dungeon yet, so I'm
remembering how slow that ramp up is for

1356
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:12,560
this one. But no, it's
it's good, but it's it doesn't overhaul

1357
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:16,720
things the way Windwaker did. I
hope that what they're doing next gets away

1358
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,520
from if it ends up being like, hey, we've just you know,

1359
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:23,000
hey, it's roughly the same number
of dungeons, but now it's in a

1360
01:21:23,079 --> 01:21:27,319
larger open world like that'll bet Yeah, that link between worlds. It's some

1361
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,279
changes to like the magic system,
and those changes were but that's a but

1362
01:21:30,319 --> 01:21:35,840
that's a you know, a weird
game that's closer to a major's mask than

1363
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:41,520
a proper legend of Zelad. I
mean, the big innovation there was,

1364
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,640
Hey, you can have all the
items right up front and then do the

1365
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,920
dungeons and whatever order you want.
Yeah, but there are still like it

1366
01:21:46,199 --> 01:21:50,359
links crossbow training is what I'm saying. There's still reels like that's not like,

1367
01:21:50,399 --> 01:21:54,359
you know, that's what is that
there. There's you know, there's

1368
01:21:54,359 --> 01:21:56,760
some variability in the flow of the
game there, but you're still doing a

1369
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,399
number of discrete dungeons one after the
other on basically the same mask is linked

1370
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:04,039
to the past again. Awesome,
Yes, like it's not I wouldn't say

1371
01:22:04,039 --> 01:22:06,800
the change they make is as fundamental
as what they need. It's like it's

1372
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:13,319
the real nes remix. Yes,
yeah, that's a that's a cool fucking

1373
01:22:13,359 --> 01:22:15,239
game. It is good game.
I just I don't know, I just

1374
01:22:15,279 --> 01:22:19,119
I would really like to see like
a grand departure from the structure of like,

1375
01:22:19,159 --> 01:22:21,600
hey, you need this mini try
force pieces. You know, hey,

1376
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,600
what if it was six pieces to
get a heart? Fuck it?

1377
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,520
No? No? Yes? Before
or last before? Well, Twilight Princess

1378
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:30,960
has five, and I don't like
that. Hey, well there you go,

1379
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,399
justified. So I don't. I
think we're both probably excited for this

1380
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:38,439
next one. Whatever the hell they
do with it. I mean, yeah,

1381
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:40,760
I think they could totally blow it
and make an uninteresting game. I

1382
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:44,680
think there's there's a possibility of that. But I really want to see what

1383
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:46,239
they're doing. Yeah. Uh,
and I want to see if it ends

1384
01:22:46,279 --> 01:22:48,920
up being a line straddle or if
they end up putting it on NX as

1385
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:54,960
well as bet you, I bet
they do. Yeah, it worked out

1386
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,039
so well for them last time.
I mean, it's sold a bunch,

1387
01:22:58,039 --> 01:23:00,399
didn't it Probably, I don't know. I don't know if they go back

1388
01:23:00,399 --> 01:23:01,800
to that, well, but we
will see. Yeah, but no,

1389
01:23:02,159 --> 01:23:04,279
it's not a well, it's like
like who cares, Like, you know,

1390
01:23:04,279 --> 01:23:06,199
if they have another platform coming out, they might as well put it

1391
01:23:06,239 --> 01:23:11,039
on. Yeah, there's no reason
not to. I want them to.

1392
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,079
I don't want them to do that
because I want to feel good about buying

1393
01:23:14,079 --> 01:23:15,920
that. We you and I don't
think I'm gonna feel good about buying that.

1394
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,199
We you if I could have just
played the new Zelda, I'm the

1395
01:23:18,239 --> 01:23:23,000
next console. So let me get
this straight. More people are getting access

1396
01:23:23,039 --> 01:23:26,760
to a game, and that's making
you angry. Not that's not necessarily what

1397
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:31,960
we're saying, you know, tweet
to me mode, you know, more

1398
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,319
to the point you kind of want
to feel like they made it appropriately for

1399
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:39,319
and to the strengths of the platform
they put it on. You know,

1400
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:43,039
like like you said, like in
the process of moving Twilight Princess to the

1401
01:23:43,079 --> 01:23:45,760
Wei, like you ended up with
a WE game that didn't necessarily look like

1402
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,600
a good game by the WI standards. True, you know, it's true.

1403
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,399
And the motion controls did feel tacked
on, right, right, Yeah,

1404
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:54,760
like that like the right the waggle
for the basic attack it was just

1405
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,039
a bucking. Should have been a
fuck. It was fancy, but that's

1406
01:23:57,039 --> 01:23:59,640
what I mean. Like they fixed
that in the Year of Motion plus with

1407
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,319
Sky in that transition, Like you're
you're bound to lose some things when you

1408
01:24:02,359 --> 01:24:05,479
take a game that was intended for
one target and moved to another. You're

1409
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:09,239
right, yeah, you're right,
uh, I mean, and I don't

1410
01:24:09,399 --> 01:24:11,439
really have a problem with the way. You you know, I think it'd

1411
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,399
be interesting to see that game in
both places, because that'd be like a

1412
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,039
and a hell of a way to
kind of kick off the NX. But

1413
01:24:19,119 --> 01:24:26,359
whatever it's, I I hope that
they are making something that you know,

1414
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,439
isn't just a larger version of what
they've been making and really kind of take

1415
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:34,039
it to some to a different place. Sure, I think we can all

1416
01:24:34,039 --> 01:24:38,760
get behind that. Last thing I'll
mention real quick is that I've been plinking

1417
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:43,319
away in Plants Versu Zombies Garden Warfare
two. You guys saw on UPF because

1418
01:24:43,359 --> 01:24:45,119
I showed it to you. I
did, Yes, you did saw that.

1419
01:24:45,399 --> 01:24:49,760
It's a real game that just seems
like a vastly expanded version of the

1420
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:57,119
first game version. I loaded it
up and it played danger Zone. I

1421
01:24:57,119 --> 01:24:59,960
mean that was a trailer that they
put out. It's it's in the game

1422
01:25:00,039 --> 01:25:02,000
as well. Yeah, it's over
the over the kind of there's an initial

1423
01:25:02,039 --> 01:25:08,119
cinematic that not a non cover versions
in the game they licensed. They licensed,

1424
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:12,880
it's in the game, and it's
in the game. Uh. You

1425
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,439
know, they've added classes, it's
a ton of new maps, like the

1426
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,079
there's a quest system. Now,
there's a you know, a big hub

1427
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:20,119
you can go out and do stuff, and the hub seems is baffling.

1428
01:25:20,199 --> 01:25:24,560
I haven't Yeah you have a menu
to have to walk around this big,

1429
01:25:25,319 --> 01:25:28,880
unwieldy thing like it, it's no
one needs that. Well, but yeah,

1430
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,479
I need to spend more time with
it and figure out exactly what the

1431
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:34,359
purpose of that thing is. Yeah, because because both factions, bases and

1432
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:39,640
this kind of neutral like battleground in
the middle are contained in that one map,

1433
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:42,560
and I'm not sure what the benefit
of that is as supposed to just

1434
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,520
having a nice speedy map but or
I mean men you deal with. But

1435
01:25:46,119 --> 01:25:50,159
anyway, that that's actually technically out
today, so like beyond the access people

1436
01:25:50,199 --> 01:25:55,239
playing it earlier, like it'll just
now start getting actually populated today. So

1437
01:25:55,359 --> 01:25:57,640
I will spend more time with that
this week and we will do some stuff

1438
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:01,640
with it. I like stuff.
Stuff's good. All right, let's talk

1439
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,560
about the news this week. It's
it's pretty thin, uh in the world

1440
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:10,880
of headlines other than the first one, which is kind of a big piece

1441
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:14,880
of news. The HTC five has
a price. It is seven hundred and

1442
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,039
ninety nine dollars, which is a
hell of a lot cheaper than I thought

1443
01:26:17,039 --> 01:26:19,600
it was going to be a lot
of dollars. I mean it's a lot.

1444
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:23,560
But is that with the whole room
thing and all that. That's why

1445
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,880
I like house two controllers. That's
exactly why I think it's Yes, I

1446
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:30,439
mean yeah, I mean it's it's
got the basically yeah, like yeah,

1447
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,560
Effectively this is coming with like room
size, positional tracking, and two motion

1448
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:39,399
controllers which the Rift, neither of
which the Rift has two hundred dollars extra

1449
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:45,840
correct me if I'm wrong, because
I don't know, this headset would presumably

1450
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,520
be able to do everything the Oculus
can. Yeah, like that that I

1451
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,640
think really remains to be seen,
right, Like if there's a common software

1452
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,640
platform, if if all games for
one will work on the other. If

1453
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,640
I keep in mind that Oculus has
a publishing division and their own storefront where

1454
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,680
they will be publishing games, so
there's a possibility that those games may not

1455
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:08,439
work on vibes but purely on a
TEP. But I don't but I don't

1456
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:13,560
know stuff everything. My understanding is
that doing the work to make it work

1457
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,159
on both headsets is not difficult,
right, unless you're taking advantage of some

1458
01:27:16,199 --> 01:27:21,039
of the specific unique features of some
of the stuff, because like the Vibe

1459
01:27:21,079 --> 01:27:25,560
has the camera up front that'll let
you do like you could potentially be used

1460
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:30,640
for like an AAR type scenario,
right, and and that sort of stuff.

1461
01:27:30,079 --> 01:27:32,640
The room sensors may play into some
of that to a certain extent.

1462
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,760
The the Oculus Touch controllers won't be
available at launch, so you know.

1463
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:39,479
And also so this is Yeah,
it's seven eighty nine and it's hitting in

1464
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,479
Uh they're saying early April. Damn. Yeah, just which is not long.

1465
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,479
Yeah, the drift it's like a
month. Shit. What I find

1466
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:50,560
kind of perplexing is that it only
requires one USB two point zero port.

1467
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:57,640
Yeah, I th things like four, doesn't it it needs like and one

1468
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,279
two or something like that. Yeah, And those, how things do not

1469
01:28:00,359 --> 01:28:03,279
hook up to the computer. I
think, so those are just like the

1470
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:10,079
headset is sensing those. I wonder
then if because it has that, then

1471
01:28:10,359 --> 01:28:16,880
it doesn't have to do like the
way it's tracking is somehow less intensive or

1472
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:20,319
something and doesn't have it require as
much data to be crammed through it.

1473
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:27,279
Yeah. I don't know that it
is. Yeah, that that is one

1474
01:28:27,279 --> 01:28:30,079
of the more confusing is it become
one of the more confusing aspects of this

1475
01:28:30,119 --> 01:28:35,279
stuff. Uh yeah, it's uh, it's been interesting seeing people react to

1476
01:28:35,319 --> 01:28:40,199
the price because people are just comparing
it directly to the Oculus price and saying

1477
01:28:40,239 --> 01:28:43,560
like, oh, well, Oculus
got him on price. That's a cheaper

1478
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:48,000
pacts like it's you're getting such a
different Like it'd be like if the Oculus

1479
01:28:48,119 --> 01:28:53,520
packed in two of the touch controllers, right, you know, it is

1480
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:56,560
basically what you would be getting with
this Vibe packs. Although one of the

1481
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,319
one of the main selling points in
this thing, the positional tracking, seems

1482
01:28:59,359 --> 01:29:02,119
like it's going to be a thing
not specially useful for a huge number of

1483
01:29:02,119 --> 01:29:04,880
people. Yeah, Like the amount
of floor space just open, Like you

1484
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:09,279
need a room in your house devoted
to this thing to get the full right,

1485
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:12,880
Yeah, so to do full advantage
the room scale experiences, the way

1486
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,359
to call them and then that that's
the and it's that's been the aspect that

1487
01:29:15,359 --> 01:29:17,880
they've been pushing the most with the
Vibe in terms of just like how they

1488
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:20,399
demo it and the things they talk
about. It's very much about like,

1489
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:24,359
hey, this room. Yeah,
yeah, I guess that's that is the

1490
01:29:24,359 --> 01:29:26,560
big thing. Don't get me wrong, it's super cool when it works,

1491
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:30,840
but like it is awesome wires,
so many extra variables to be in place

1492
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:33,119
to work right, and so like
I think even if I ended up with

1493
01:29:33,119 --> 01:29:38,079
a vibe like, I don't know
that I would set up yeah, for

1494
01:29:38,079 --> 01:29:40,479
for I don't know if I'd set
up for that situation, because it just

1495
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:45,039
doesn't seem viable for this whole office
I'm building, for example, it's not

1496
01:29:45,039 --> 01:29:46,199
big enough to do any of this
stuff in Like I I could have a

1497
01:29:46,319 --> 01:29:50,079
standing VR experience and when you take
a couple of steps in any direction,

1498
01:29:50,319 --> 01:29:54,319
but I can't walk around a fucking
room like that job simulator thing or whatever.

1499
01:29:54,319 --> 01:29:56,840
You're just like standing and like the
tiny little kids something, and any

1500
01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,760
seated experience obviously, you know,
any kind of cockpit based thing like,

1501
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:03,960
no problem. But yeah, wouldn't
you like to have the option? Yeah,

1502
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,640
I would love to have the option. Yes, absolutely be like,

1503
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:10,880
oh, I'm gonna take this somewhere, going on to the park with my

1504
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,840
VR headset. You know, I
don't know what. I don't know where

1505
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:15,239
I would go. The thing is
the garage. I could take the car

1506
01:30:15,239 --> 01:30:19,119
out of the garage and fucking put
up tens of barriers like a movie theater.

1507
01:30:21,199 --> 01:30:25,039
If R is going to become the
going concern that it's being propped up,

1508
01:30:25,079 --> 01:30:27,640
as there will be plenty of time
to have that option later, you

1509
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:31,279
know, right, and stuff it's
not going to be the going concern for

1510
01:30:31,359 --> 01:30:36,800
is a little bit, right,
So it's this is all stuff that's still

1511
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:41,479
even even after this stuff is on
sale, it's still somewhat theoretic totally,

1512
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:45,439
Like yeah, for for me,
the quality that's it all starts and stops

1513
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:48,039
with the quality the headset For me, like, sure, I want a

1514
01:30:48,359 --> 01:30:55,399
which part the display the whole experience, But yes, I mean, let's

1515
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:58,840
let's assume the tracking is probably going
to be roughly equivalent. I doubt you'll

1516
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:00,279
be able to tell a lot of
diff it's there, but like, I'm

1517
01:31:00,319 --> 01:31:03,079
sure there's some people will but like, yeah, people that are pretty far

1518
01:31:03,119 --> 01:31:06,239
down the rabbit hole already would probably
know. But yeah, I in my

1519
01:31:06,279 --> 01:31:10,640
experience with I guess I haven't tried
the final vibe, right, that's the

1520
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,039
thing, Like I like I want
a bunch of tech sites to get both

1521
01:31:13,079 --> 01:31:15,800
of them in for review and spend
like an exhaustive a number of hours saying

1522
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:18,439
Okay, this one feels better,
this one's got a better headband, Like

1523
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:23,680
this one. The optics are slightly
like Sharper on this one, Like comfort

1524
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:25,680
is going to be a big thing, you know, Like like I saw

1525
01:31:26,039 --> 01:31:28,760
I forget who a field of view
is one of the big differences right between

1526
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:31,119
them. Like I want an exhaustive
breakdown of all that stuff before I would

1527
01:31:31,159 --> 01:31:33,760
even think about deciding which one to
get. Yeah, I mean, honestly,

1528
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:39,119
if I wasn't a Kickstarter backer of
the Rift just to get one of

1529
01:31:39,119 --> 01:31:41,399
those things, your decisions kind of
made already. Yeah, Like if if

1530
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:44,119
they weren't sending me one, I
wouldn't have either of them. But get

1531
01:31:44,119 --> 01:31:45,520
it wrong, If I could go
back in time and back that Kickstarter for

1532
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,760
three bucks is a nice price for
that thing and get one of those things

1533
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:53,359
d K one we barely used it, I would do it. Like I'd

1534
01:31:53,359 --> 01:31:56,319
still feel like that was worthwhile and
I just wanted one of those so we

1535
01:31:56,319 --> 01:32:00,159
could cover that stuff, Like hey, yeah, sure, yeah, it's

1536
01:32:00,159 --> 01:32:04,000
there's just so much left to even
knowing the prices and what the base package

1537
01:32:04,039 --> 01:32:08,239
is going to be, There's so
much left to determine. Are there any

1538
01:32:08,239 --> 01:32:11,960
release dates set for like notable game
the Drift is launched, day Job Simulator

1539
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:17,720
were packed in with the Vibe along
with contraption factories. That's called Contraption Maker.

1540
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,359
Oh that's the thing that they demoed
were yeah, okay, you were

1541
01:32:20,359 --> 01:32:23,560
having trouble, that was the thing. It was broken when Yeah, yeah,

1542
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:26,720
awesome. Yeah, they're there are
a handful of games that are starting

1543
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,079
to get to get have their dates
be firmed up. But yeah, a

1544
01:32:29,159 --> 01:32:31,720
Drift is launched day on Oculus.
Drift sounds really cool, but like you

1545
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:34,359
know, guarantee you can still have
a good experience with that game on a

1546
01:32:34,399 --> 01:32:41,359
big TV. I mean, well, the you know, it seems like

1547
01:32:41,359 --> 01:32:43,560
the hook of that thing is going
to be it's it's you know, it's

1548
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:45,399
a personal story, it's a right, you know, like that aspect of

1549
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,840
it seems like that that that's the
reason I want to play a Drift.

1550
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:53,800
It's it's not necessarily that it's in
vr R. That that's a fun that'll

1551
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:57,199
probably a fun, cool way to
also play it. But do you say

1552
01:32:57,279 --> 01:33:00,079
job simulator is built in I mean
it's packed in with the you know,

1553
01:33:00,159 --> 01:33:04,039
that's a really good pack end.
Yeah, like that's that's again of the

1554
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:11,840
sports that shows off the hardware.
Yeah yeah, yeah, so that's yeah,

1555
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:15,680
And now I just wonder when the
touch controllers will hit for Oculus and

1556
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:19,399
what price they will be if this
two hundred dollars difference is if that's just

1557
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:23,039
like hey, our touch controllers or
a hundred bucks pop. You need to

1558
01:33:23,119 --> 01:33:29,199
them done matched, yea or or
what. But in some ways you have

1559
01:33:29,239 --> 01:33:32,680
to wonder if this makes Oculus look
better by pushing off the touch right,

1560
01:33:33,239 --> 01:33:36,239
and just so that just so people
who aren't in the know on any of

1561
01:33:36,279 --> 01:33:39,840
this stuff look at the prices and
go like, oh, yeah, but

1562
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,399
price price is fucking huge, you
know, like it, but it at

1563
01:33:42,399 --> 01:33:45,479
the same point, Yeah, difference, but that's at the same time,

1564
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,199
like it's hard. It's hard to
imagine. Yeah, it's hard to imagine

1565
01:33:48,239 --> 01:33:53,560
anyone waltzing into the VR space and
it's like what's the cheaper one and buying

1566
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:58,159
whatever it is or actually, I
mean doing any investigation to realize that there's

1567
01:33:58,159 --> 01:34:01,159
a difference in what you're doing.
Antic video card too, right, yeah,

1568
01:34:01,279 --> 01:34:03,960
yeah, man, if anything.
Yeah, like even Oculus is positioning

1569
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:08,640
itself as a premium product with the
like nice carrying case it comes in and

1570
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:12,840
all that stuff, like you know, free Xbox one control. Yeah,

1571
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,319
like if you want your free yeah, if you want, if you want

1572
01:34:15,399 --> 01:34:17,319
your like entry level, lower cost
of VR solution, it's going to be

1573
01:34:17,399 --> 01:34:21,039
the Morpheus, right, I don't
know, it'll be gre VR. I

1574
01:34:21,119 --> 01:34:26,840
mean yeah, but that only works
with like two kinds of phones right now.

1575
01:34:27,039 --> 01:34:30,720
Okay, Right, So that's the
other thing is is I guess I

1576
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:35,359
saw some news saying that along with
this new this new galaxy, like if

1577
01:34:35,359 --> 01:34:39,720
you pre order their phone, they're
throwing in a gear VR. Weird.

1578
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,920
Wow, that's not a bad deal. Yeah, I wouldn't mind having something

1579
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:45,920
like that if I was already in
that ecosystem, you know, Yeah,

1580
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:49,000
could be cool to have. Yeah, part of me still wishes that Apple

1581
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:51,239
would do something similar, just because, like, like I said, I

1582
01:34:51,319 --> 01:34:54,680
used the gear V already three last
year and was like kind of impressed with

1583
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:57,279
it. Yeah, yeah for what
it is. So that so that's the

1584
01:34:57,319 --> 01:34:59,920
sort of thing that can start to
cover the low end. It's it's weird

1585
01:35:00,079 --> 01:35:04,159
because you wouldn't necessarily like think of, like I'm getting a phone specifically to

1586
01:35:04,199 --> 01:35:06,760
do this stuff, but it's also
my phone, Like that's that's a it's

1587
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:12,000
a I don't know. Wrapping my
mind around that is actually harder than it

1588
01:35:12,039 --> 01:35:15,439
should be. The phone, and
phone also has the huge key advantage of

1589
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:17,119
not being tethered in anything. Yeah. Yeah, that's going to spin a

1590
01:35:17,159 --> 01:35:20,760
full circle wearing that thing. And
and then yeah, I am totally not

1591
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:25,760
writing off like mobile VR at all
yet as a as a factor. Yeah,

1592
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:30,720
but then also yeah, PlayStation VR, and I don't know what that

1593
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:32,039
thing I'll be priced? Who knows. I'm give two ninety nine to three

1594
01:35:32,119 --> 01:35:33,520
ninety nine. It's got to be
one of those. I mean, they

1595
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:36,600
straight up said it will be the
cost of a console. Have they given

1596
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:40,720
any kind of general timeframe like it
is this year? Right? I had

1597
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:44,159
said first half, like first half
the last thing they said, so basically

1598
01:35:44,159 --> 01:35:46,720
everything's gonna be out by the summer, right if they hit their first half

1599
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:51,720
date? Yeah? Yeah, yes, uh, and we don't really Starbreez

1600
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:57,319
is right that thing I have no
idea? Yeah? Oh shit, yeah

1601
01:35:57,319 --> 01:36:00,560
that Walking Dead thing? Is that
Starbreees? No, yes, they bought

1602
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,520
the rights making that thing over kills
the Walking Dead VR or whatever. Yeah.

1603
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:10,960
Yeah, And then what isn't there
like the open source the osvrs.

1604
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:14,600
And then also another headset I hadn't
even heard about that. Yeah, is

1605
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:18,439
that like a roll your own or
something and not quite I don't it's yeah

1606
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:24,119
there that'll that could be be potentially
very messy as the stuff goes on,

1607
01:36:24,319 --> 01:36:29,039
you just hopefully won't blow up into
a full on format war U. Yeah.

1608
01:36:29,159 --> 01:36:30,880
I mean, like even philosophically,
people like Palm er Lucky You've been

1609
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:33,399
out there saying like, you know, we don't we don't see our competition

1610
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:38,359
as the competition. It's like the
making the argument to the public is the

1611
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:41,319
thing that we're actually fighting against,
you know, like they can have those

1612
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:45,039
larger fights later. That's they've convinced
people that VR is worth owning. Yeah,

1613
01:36:45,039 --> 01:36:46,760
it's it's all in their best interest
to make it as friendly as possible.

1614
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,000
But yeah, I want to say
it was norm from tested I saw

1615
01:36:49,119 --> 01:36:53,920
talking on Twitter this morning about like
feeling like the Rift was maybe a little

1616
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:58,159
more comfortable than the Vibe or something
like that might be uh, misattributing that

1617
01:36:58,279 --> 01:37:01,399
quote, but like it raises a
lot of factors that you don't think about

1618
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:04,199
off the cuff, you know,
like you just look at the feature list

1619
01:37:04,239 --> 01:37:06,880
of like, well, this thing
has two controllers and positional for extra two

1620
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:09,920
hundred dollars, so that's probably a
better deal. But then like, what

1621
01:37:10,039 --> 01:37:14,239
if two weeks in it turns out
that like everybody thinks the vibe is like

1622
01:37:14,359 --> 01:37:17,640
kind of uncomfortable or like over the
rift, it's the drifted, you know

1623
01:37:18,039 --> 01:37:23,039
whatever, who knows what's kind of
in. Yeah, like we will see

1624
01:37:23,319 --> 01:37:26,399
once these things are actually in people's
hands, which one actually rises. It's

1625
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:30,960
crazy how close we are, and
I'm really excited to see how it goes.

1626
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:33,279
Like, regardless of how it goes, so, I'm really excited to

1627
01:37:33,279 --> 01:37:36,039
see how go. I don't know
how it's going to go. It's crazy

1628
01:37:36,119 --> 01:37:40,479
to think that we're sitting here talking
about this stuff, you know, as

1629
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:43,640
if it's like a done deal,
right, and you know, like the

1630
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,680
the notion that this stuff like works
and that you know, it's if I

1631
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,960
hadn't tried it, I'd be sitting
there going like this is all bullshit.

1632
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,199
They're gonna you know, it's like
no, no, this is actually this

1633
01:37:51,279 --> 01:37:55,000
stuff all works. Now. Have
they said anything about their marketing as far

1634
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,800
as getting chaos up or how they're
going to present us to people. I

1635
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,439
mean, they're Prey're gonna be pre
sold out for some time. You know,

1636
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:02,600
they're gonna open up pre orders.
I want to say on the twenty

1637
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:08,279
ninth. Is that what this story
was? Let's see, and then you

1638
01:38:08,319 --> 01:38:10,880
know they'll start shipping in early April. But you know it's not like I

1639
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,399
don't think everyone who pre orders one
will get one day one. That's the

1640
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:16,720
rift was similar in the you know, as people started to place pre orders,

1641
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,279
it started to you know, your
ship day started getting pushed out.

1642
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:23,760
Yeah, yeah, twenty ninth and
five pre orders Leap Day, Leap Day,

1643
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:28,159
yep, Magic Leap Day. Magic
Leap is gonna come out that day

1644
01:38:28,279 --> 01:38:31,800
and just say fuck it, our
ship is out. That would be awesome.

1645
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:35,079
I'm gonna stick with the Leapster.
Thank you a good call. Yeah

1646
01:38:35,319 --> 01:38:38,880
yeah, cast my lot. Just
strap a leap Star to your face.

1647
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:45,239
It'll be fine. Hey hey,
hi, remember one the other side Entertainment

1648
01:38:45,319 --> 01:38:47,199
bought the Rice system Shock and announced
they would make a system Shock three.

1649
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,399
Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
I guess who's now working on System Shock

1650
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:57,680
three. Warren Spector, Warren,
Warren the Specter. Oh, Warren Spector,

1651
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:03,039
Warren Specter, not that push one. Yeah, but yeah that's cool.

1652
01:39:03,399 --> 01:39:08,720
Okay that flew away over my head. Yeah he's yeah, that's you

1653
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,800
know, they're they're doing Underworld Ascendant, which is the ultimate underworld kind of

1654
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:16,720
spirit dam System Shock three, which
is the actual system Shock successor starring Mickey

1655
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:19,760
Mouse. Yeah, but you know, yeah, he was around for all

1656
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:24,560
that stuff in one capacity or another. Equ This says he was a producer

1657
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:29,359
on the original system Shock. Yeah, but also he made DSX, you

1658
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:31,439
know, like he has been steeped
in that style of first pression RPG for

1659
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,199
a very fucking long time. If
you put his name on in the games

1660
01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:40,039
warre Inspectors, like where it actually
appears in the official title syer situation,

1661
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,439
I don't believe that's the case.
Yeah, not that I can think of

1662
01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:47,119
warre Inspectors the Epic Mickey Right,
I don't think so. God right,

1663
01:39:47,199 --> 01:39:50,119
Yeah there were two of those,
weren't there. Yeah. It sounds like

1664
01:39:50,239 --> 01:39:55,039
he's been doing some some teaching since
uh right, ye see, since Epic

1665
01:39:55,119 --> 01:39:58,000
Mickey two came out. I would
learn from War Inspector. Yeah, totally,

1666
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,399
that would be interesting. But yeah, I guess there's not a whole

1667
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,319
else to say about that other than
I think it's super cool or you know

1668
01:40:04,399 --> 01:40:10,399
it definitely, it absolutely gives a
new system Shock a pedigree, yeah that

1669
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:13,560
it kind of had already but like
that's just kind of the you know,

1670
01:40:14,319 --> 01:40:15,880
it's neat's like, all of all
the names that you would want attached to

1671
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:19,640
that thing they owned by anybody.
I don't believe. So did they buy

1672
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,920
the rights to system Shock? Yeah? I don't know. If you were

1673
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:24,920
a story from a while ago,
yeah, you might not have been on

1674
01:40:25,039 --> 01:40:28,239
the podcast that week. But I
believe the rights were in the hands of

1675
01:40:28,279 --> 01:40:31,319
an insurance company in Michigan, which
sounds like the dumbest thing you could come

1676
01:40:31,399 --> 01:40:34,199
up with to explain what happened to
system shock, But apparently it was true.

1677
01:40:34,279 --> 01:40:40,960
Wow, anyway, were losing it
in a poker game. Maybe they

1678
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:44,239
just maybe they just had a copyright
to the term system shock as through use

1679
01:40:44,319 --> 01:40:47,399
of like some kind of insurance policy, like oh, it's a real shock

1680
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:53,520
to the system, and you get
this insurance rates. We use this in

1681
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:56,119
our radio ads, and apparently we
own a video game now because we did

1682
01:40:56,199 --> 01:41:00,439
it before they did the video games. I don't know. Wow. He

1683
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,319
mentioned Show Dan in his quote about
being excited to go work on this thing.

1684
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:06,840
I am Show Dan excited. It's
just crazy. So he said,

1685
01:41:08,199 --> 01:41:11,359
yeah, basically exactly the quote I'm
looking forward to sharing with players. What

1686
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:13,760
Showdan has been up to since the
last game was really yeah, I mean

1687
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:15,760
they're their count on teaser and stuff
was like show Dan's voice and stuff.

1688
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:20,960
Really yeah, that's considering how the
last game ended. That's see how that

1689
01:41:21,039 --> 01:41:27,199
works. Although I really think that
you kind of can't, especially if you

1690
01:41:27,239 --> 01:41:30,159
were making a System Talk three in
that era, you can definitely make that

1691
01:41:30,279 --> 01:41:32,960
move. Yeah, but now this
far gone making an appeal to people that

1692
01:41:33,079 --> 01:41:35,319
liked those games. You're right,
you have to. You're right, you

1693
01:41:35,399 --> 01:41:39,960
have to. The way they brought
her back for two, like you know,

1694
01:41:40,319 --> 01:41:43,199
vanquished her at the end of the
first one also, but the way

1695
01:41:43,239 --> 01:41:46,520
they brought her back for two was
fucking incredible. Still one of the best

1696
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,319
moments ever in a story based game, Like I will stand by that for

1697
01:41:51,279 --> 01:41:55,520
ever. You guys don't even know
what I'm talking about. No, Yeah,

1698
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:58,560
it's amazing, amazing. It's one
of those games that I tried to

1699
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:01,600
play, uh like, tried to
go back to that I hear about.

1700
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:05,960
I haven't even looked at like a
lot of the graphical re remake like overhaul

1701
01:42:06,039 --> 01:42:08,760
type mods. I don't know if
you were using any of those, like

1702
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:13,000
even in its day, it was
not a looker. Really, even by

1703
01:42:13,039 --> 01:42:15,279
the standards of nineteen ninety nine,
it was not a great looking game.

1704
01:42:15,399 --> 01:42:17,000
It just felt kind of clunky.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, this is

1705
01:42:17,039 --> 01:42:21,640
what I was Oh my god,
that reveal is so fucking incredible. I

1706
01:42:21,640 --> 01:42:25,119
should talk about it some other time. I would take a while to go

1707
01:42:25,239 --> 01:42:28,399
through. Right now. I only
have one other story. It came out

1708
01:42:28,399 --> 01:42:33,199
of dice. Uh. It's about
Bethesda. It was revealed by Todd Howard.

1709
01:42:33,279 --> 01:42:38,760
He says they are working on multiple
other projects at the studio at the

1710
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:43,279
same time that they are working on
Fallout four DLC. We actually have three

1711
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:47,399
kind of long term, longer term
projects we're doing that are all dash.

1712
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,880
We'll talk about them at a much
future date. But they're different than anything

1713
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:55,680
we've done before, while also being
a Bethesda style game, big and crazy

1714
01:42:56,159 --> 01:43:01,840
in many ways, different than things
we've done before. So Cyberpunk. They're

1715
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:06,079
developing it now. I think they
got it from the Witcher guys. Yeah,

1716
01:43:06,079 --> 01:43:09,399
I don't know. I don't know
what that is like. You know,

1717
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:14,159
their games are huge, but they
also have been pretty vocal in recent

1718
01:43:14,239 --> 01:43:16,680
years about how their studio is still
relatively small. Yeah, and compared to

1719
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:19,239
the scale of their games. They're
like a hundred and people in change or

1720
01:43:19,279 --> 01:43:21,600
whatever, which is like tiny for
the size of their games. Yeah,

1721
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:26,000
I would, Yeah, it'd be
it'd be cool to see them get out

1722
01:43:26,079 --> 01:43:29,359
of the loop of Elder Scrolls,
fall Out, Elders Scrolls fall Out right

1723
01:43:30,039 --> 01:43:35,159
especially, I mean Elder Scrolls Online
probably being this other thing that's out there.

1724
01:43:35,199 --> 01:43:39,239
I wonder if that kind of pushed
them away from just going right back

1725
01:43:39,279 --> 01:43:42,319
into another Elder Scrolls influenced their decision
making, although you know, they could

1726
01:43:42,319 --> 01:43:45,720
be spending up on another Elder Scrolls
as speak. Yeah, maybe the same

1727
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:47,960
time, and so other stuff is
going on. Who knows what that stuff.

1728
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,119
He also mentioned that I forgot that
they have a studio in Montreal now

1729
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:57,000
which is part of the Festa Game
Studios, which this says is just gonna

1730
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,640
be helping out on mobile projects like
Fallout Shelter and the Elder Scrolls card game

1731
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:08,319
that they're working on Scrolls. Yeah. Yeah, So anyway, some potentially

1732
01:44:08,399 --> 01:44:12,279
some big interesting things coming from Bethesda. But who can say Dice is not

1733
01:44:12,359 --> 01:44:15,279
really a place to make big announcements. Yeah, no, you just get

1734
01:44:15,319 --> 01:44:18,920
a little take your public announcements at
Dice. You make the deals that lead

1735
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:23,279
to the big public announcements later,
right, Dice. You get some little

1736
01:44:23,279 --> 01:44:26,880
tidbits here and there out of interviews, but that's about it. Pretty quiet

1737
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:30,439
week for news overall, but not
for emails. I'm gonna read some emails.

1738
01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:32,079
Okay, it was a slog,
but I managed to get some emails

1739
01:44:32,119 --> 01:44:36,159
together. Okay, Yeah, it's
your favorite part of the show. I

1740
01:44:36,279 --> 01:44:41,359
like tumblers. M Well, any
emails. Will talk about that later.

1741
01:44:42,359 --> 01:44:46,079
Stephen in Edinburgh has a burning question
the red thing on Yoshi's back. Is

1742
01:44:46,159 --> 01:44:49,880
it a saddle or shell? Shell? I shamelessly bought the Mega Yarn Yoshi

1743
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:54,039
amibo and placed it on my desk
in my office, sparking much debate about

1744
01:44:54,079 --> 01:44:57,720
what exactly that thing is. It's
convex with a white trim, but seems

1745
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:00,319
to serve no purpose. If it's
a shell, it's a removable shell.

1746
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:05,600
I think it's a saddle. I'd
have to look at. You can sit

1747
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:10,159
on a show, doesn't have to
be a saddle. Yeah, Mario was

1748
01:45:10,199 --> 01:45:12,159
thick overalls. It's not gonna hurt
him. He can sit on a shell.

1749
01:45:13,359 --> 01:45:15,800
I guess, yeah, that's gotten
padding. Yeah, yeah, it's

1750
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:24,159
a shell. Jeff, I don't
care damn it. How many dinosaurs of

1751
01:45:24,239 --> 01:45:27,760
that size? I have shells?
None? None. I'd have to consult

1752
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,239
my amibos, but I'm pretty sure
it's a shell. I think I've always

1753
01:45:30,239 --> 01:45:33,279
assumed it was a saddle. I
thought it was a saddle. I mean

1754
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:39,279
Super Mario straps and stuff, right, Super Mario World, which is the

1755
01:45:39,359 --> 01:45:46,880
first and still canonical, Yeah,
Yoshi design anyway, a picture? All

1756
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:49,800
right, Well, you work on
that. Okay, here's an email from

1757
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:57,199
Ian from Manchester. Now the Super
Mario maker has levels andy costume from the

1758
01:45:57,359 --> 01:46:00,560
rom com Mango slash anime Nissa koy. I just wanted to check in and

1759
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:03,640
see how you feel about inadvertently giving
your Game of the Year award to an

1760
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:09,199
anime game. Seriously, though,
I find it pretty fascinating that Nintendo was

1761
01:46:09,279 --> 01:46:13,560
easing up with regards the use of
its IP and crossover potential. This is

1762
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:15,520
probably one off, but I found
it pretty great. Uh. How we

1763
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:20,359
went from some saying Splatoon reminds them
of squid Girl squid Girl two straight up

1764
01:46:20,399 --> 01:46:25,560
getting official squid Girl DLC Force Splatoon
for now. I like that. Nintendo

1765
01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:29,520
just seems to be having fun with
this. What yeah, no, yeah,

1766
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:32,479
they see yes, they it's I
like that they are rolling all that

1767
01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:36,720
stuff out worldwide. Yeah, like
still like characters that you're just like,

1768
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:40,159
fucking what is it? Right?
Right? I was looking at that sprite

1769
01:46:40,159 --> 01:46:44,239
on your screen the other day,
going like what celebrities and yeah, that's

1770
01:46:44,279 --> 01:46:46,479
cool, it's cool. I like
it. Also, it's it's that game

1771
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:55,239
brings the world together in peace.
Yeah, where's yeah? When when when's

1772
01:46:55,279 --> 01:46:58,159
the leak levels? I want to
point out here, I'm showing Brad a

1773
01:46:58,159 --> 01:47:00,560
picture. It's totally a shell.
That's not a I don't know what that

1774
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:02,399
is, clearly a show. Let's
like fan art or something. What do

1775
01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:06,239
you god? This is official Yoshi
art. That is a show. Go

1776
01:47:06,359 --> 01:47:12,439
back to that original brand document or
brand bible that had full his full name

1777
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:17,800
in its hottest although and the old
and the old Mario world art. It

1778
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,520
looks more like that is absolutely a
fucking side. Will I will agree that

1779
01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:24,720
looks like a saddle canonically a saddles. No, yeah, there's no bump

1780
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:28,079
to that. Yeah, that totally
looks like a saddle. And the more

1781
01:47:28,159 --> 01:47:32,600
recent arts, the more recent art, yeah, dam with Brad. Fuck

1782
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:36,039
the more recent haven't you integrated the
crucial lesson that things that are old are

1783
01:47:36,079 --> 01:47:40,199
better than things that are new.
They're can be really good things and both.

1784
01:47:40,279 --> 01:47:45,520
No, that's how it works telling
you, uh, okay, we're

1785
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:48,720
shooting this podcast on film. Yes, oh good, Yeah, it's expensive.

1786
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:54,079
Apparently all of these emails are coming
from Europe today. Uh Stacy from

1787
01:47:54,079 --> 01:47:57,000
Bristol in the UK. As an
email, I'm going to be developing and

1788
01:47:57,079 --> 01:48:00,079
releasing a final and soon to be
defunct version of All in a House software

1789
01:48:00,159 --> 01:48:03,800
tool. When I inherited the maintenance
of the tool, used Mario as the

1790
01:48:04,079 --> 01:48:08,279
icon, and we used it to
identify the version of the tool. We

1791
01:48:08,399 --> 01:48:12,119
have gone through versions using Yoshi,
Luigi, Wa Luigi, and Toad.

1792
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:17,319
What Mario characters should adorn the final
version? Toads worth, Toad's worth Boo,

1793
01:48:17,399 --> 01:48:20,680
it's a ghost because that thing's dead
like ghosts. Okay, alright,

1794
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:24,920
not bad, not bad. I
would have said while Luigi, but they

1795
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:29,800
already used that. Toadsworth is old. He's the guy that in Mario Sunshine,

1796
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:31,399
when you spray with the water,
he goes blah blah blah blah blah,

1797
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:34,439
and he's got a mustache. He's
got the white mustache. Now he's

1798
01:48:34,439 --> 01:48:38,720
a mushroom Kingdom Toad. Okay,
Toad's a race and a guy. Yes,

1799
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:42,359
okay, yeah, sure, it's
the old wise Toad. Uh.

1800
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:48,199
Kids of Peach Peach okay, hot
social network. I think that would lead

1801
01:48:48,199 --> 01:48:51,479
the brand confusion with the app.
People think that you're launching Peach and you

1802
01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:56,399
wouldn't want that. Still never letting
into know audit your office. What if

1803
01:48:56,439 --> 01:49:01,640
it was just funky Kong? Alright, alright, yeah, yeah, it's

1804
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:05,199
like the idea that this guy works
in like the dry driest like accounting firm

1805
01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:09,279
in history or something, and then
they have to refer to Funky Kong every

1806
01:49:09,279 --> 01:49:13,319
time they're doing whatever audit the software
is used for mail Stacy, Yes,

1807
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,479
I believe so I know they were
male Stacy Stacy Keach. Yeah. Oh

1808
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:19,359
of course, based on the picture
that was attached to the email, which

1809
01:49:19,399 --> 01:49:23,039
is a weird thing, but you
know that's what Google does these days.

1810
01:49:23,159 --> 01:49:28,079
Yeah, it ain't all gravitars anymore. I've still got my gravatar though.

1811
01:49:28,239 --> 01:49:30,439
Nice. Every once in a while
it'll pop up on something. Still,

1812
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,239
where's why did it? Where did
that thing get pulled from it? That's

1813
01:49:33,279 --> 01:49:39,000
scary stealing. Oh oh, it's
just a gravatar. Yeah, right,

1814
01:49:39,159 --> 01:49:44,479
it's just a gravatar. Ye indeed, Wow, this emails from William H

1815
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:49,159
from Sheffield in the UK. They're
gonna say, Williamsburg. Based on rumor

1816
01:49:49,199 --> 01:49:53,800
and possibly leaked images, it seems
that the PlayStation VR will have a breakout

1817
01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:57,880
box between the headset and the PS
four to help carry the hefty requirements of

1818
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:01,319
VR games. Do you think they're
any possibility this breakout box could help buff

1819
01:50:01,399 --> 01:50:05,000
up the power of the PS four
when playing non VR titles. I'm not

1820
01:50:05,079 --> 01:50:09,439
talking about anything crazy, but perhaps
the PS four could offload some tasks to

1821
01:50:09,520 --> 01:50:13,079
a breakout box for slightly better frame
rates, et cetera. An N sixty

1822
01:50:13,119 --> 01:50:15,960
four expansion pack, right yeah,
Like it's the it's the thirty two X

1823
01:50:15,079 --> 01:50:18,239
all over again. Like you can't
can't design around something that only a small

1824
01:50:18,239 --> 01:50:21,239
subset's going to have, right yeah? What developer would be crazy enough to

1825
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:27,399
spend the time to build that right
functionality into their games. It's not some

1826
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:31,520
automatic power boost? Yeah yeah,
that's always the standard answer to questions about

1827
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:34,720
using things to make consoles faster,
And yet still the questions, I don't

1828
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:38,960
even know how that thing's gonna plug
in, because must be ports. There's

1829
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:43,239
the camera port. Yeah, yeah, I mean I wonder if that's a

1830
01:50:43,319 --> 01:50:45,840
high that can carry data fast.
I guess there's no. There's no USB

1831
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:49,079
on the back of that. There's
there's two on the front, yeah,

1832
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:51,920
camera port in the back. Heard. I don't know at all. Three.

1833
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:58,479
Oh man, I actually have no
idea ethernet. Also, my understanding,

1834
01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:00,680
based on talking to some developers who
have developed on that thing, is

1835
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:04,359
that it doesn't have like a GPU
in it. It's not like, yeah,

1836
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:10,279
it's it's more like a doing the
positional tracking stuff, handling the input

1837
01:51:10,399 --> 01:51:14,039
stuff that that otherwise the CPU would
have to busy itself with more importantly,

1838
01:51:14,319 --> 01:51:19,039
Why don't we call breakout boxes bobs? Mmmm mmm? Oh yeah, okay,

1839
01:51:19,119 --> 01:51:24,640
it's right there. All right,
well this is right there. Since

1840
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:28,800
you're full answer today, Drew got
some questions for you. Here's an email

1841
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:33,680
from a different Ian. Actually it's
two emails. Drew, what is dry

1842
01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:38,479
shampoo? Can it be trusted?
Who does it work for? Then minutes

1843
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:44,279
later another email came in from Ian. I don't trust it. I don't

1844
01:51:44,279 --> 01:51:48,199
actually know what dry shampoo is.
I imagine it would like bind to the

1845
01:51:48,279 --> 01:51:54,159
oils in your hair and then you
brush it out. I don't trust it.

1846
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:58,479
No, there's there's been some dry
shampoo in my home on occasion.

1847
01:52:00,199 --> 01:52:06,199
So there's the thing. So ladies
take time with their hair, and so

1848
01:52:06,399 --> 01:52:11,720
sometimes it's easier for them to not
necessarily wash it because then it requires a

1849
01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:15,079
full redo of how it works.
I have a lot of hair, so

1850
01:52:15,399 --> 01:52:17,359
yeah, yeah, I assume,
like you know, men with longer hair

1851
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:23,279
probably have a similar situation. I
use a lot of conditioner. It's getting

1852
01:52:23,319 --> 01:52:28,960
expensive. I Sean Koonts once,
I believe, said that he didn't wash

1853
01:52:29,039 --> 01:52:31,119
his hair every day, and at
the time, I was washing my hair

1854
01:52:31,199 --> 01:52:36,560
every day and I stopped because it
was it's good enough for Sean. Yeah,

1855
01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:42,560
good enough for my fucking broke ass
uh. You know, to let

1856
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,079
that oil build up a little bit
and stuff like that. That's why I

1857
01:52:45,079 --> 01:52:47,680
don't everything. Yeah, it's natural. You want some of that. And

1858
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:53,319
I was liking where my hair was
going once I stopped washing. Yeah,

1859
01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:57,520
so you don't even get it wet. I'll get a wet Yeah, when

1860
01:52:57,520 --> 01:53:00,199
you don't. On the off days, you still get it wet. Kind

1861
01:53:00,239 --> 01:53:02,000
of massage with your fingertips or whatever. It's like. But if you you

1862
01:53:02,039 --> 01:53:05,000
know, let's let's say you know
if you're if you're like straightening your hair

1863
01:53:05,319 --> 01:53:08,920
or curling it or something like that. You know, washing it means you

1864
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:11,560
have to do all of that work
again. But what if it gets like

1865
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:15,720
maybe slightly dirty, oily or something. I don't know. I don't know.

1866
01:53:16,279 --> 01:53:21,880
Dry shampoo is something you can use
in that situation. Apparently, I

1867
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:26,720
don't know. I don't trust it, but I've seen it used. Neither

1868
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:29,199
does he. And it turns out
i've seen it used. It's not much

1869
01:53:29,239 --> 01:53:31,640
trust for dry shampoo around here.
I can't blame you. Just Pert Plus.

1870
01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:35,039
It's fine, that's all in one. I don't know. Just it's

1871
01:53:35,039 --> 01:53:39,439
a green bottle in your findings.
Don't you just like pour that all over

1872
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:46,000
your body? No use a damn
bar soapen purt Plus, nobody like that.

1873
01:53:46,359 --> 01:53:49,079
I don't like that. I use
a bar soap and pert Plus or

1874
01:53:49,159 --> 01:53:51,680
like head and Shoulders off brand,
because it's the same thing, same active

1875
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:56,239
ingredients. All that stuff just save
money. One thing is shampoo, one

1876
01:53:56,279 --> 01:53:59,079
bar soap. You're seting. I
nothing more than I will say that I

1877
01:53:59,239 --> 01:54:02,600
appreciate a shampoo with conditioner in it
already, I guess I still don't know

1878
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:06,239
what conditioner does it conditions? What
does that mean? It makes your shame?

1879
01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:10,720
Why does that matter? I just
wanted to be clean and not stinky,

1880
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:14,520
Like why you're not feeling my hair? I mean, well, someone

1881
01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:17,319
else your hair grows. Your hair
grows, uh in such a way that

1882
01:54:17,800 --> 01:54:21,520
it's fine to leave it like that. My hair is really fine. So

1883
01:54:21,600 --> 01:54:27,159
if I don't condition it and it's
all just dry, it'll like spas out

1884
01:54:27,159 --> 01:54:31,720
all over the place. I'm sorry
we're talking to uh yeah, yeah,

1885
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:34,920
cuts down on yes, right,
yes, that's an important distinction to make.

1886
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:39,079
It cuts down on the frizz.
You don't have frizzy. What I'm

1887
01:54:39,119 --> 01:54:42,479
trying to say, place when your
kid is tough seul yeah, out of

1888
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:45,960
control? What's the way? Is
utilitarian? Is that the word where you're

1889
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:46,800
just doing the stuff? Yeah,
you're just like, I just don't want

1890
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:50,079
to stink. I don't ever care
about cosmetics or looks like. So if

1891
01:54:50,159 --> 01:54:54,039
I don't need conditioner, if I
just care about not stinking, right right,

1892
01:54:54,159 --> 01:54:55,880
yeah, okay, then I'm not
gonna get a conditioner. All right,

1893
01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:59,159
Okay, that's money saved, like
on your I thought the whole point

1894
01:54:59,199 --> 01:55:01,560
of purt plus was the it had
conditioner in it. I just think it's

1895
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:05,239
shampoo, isn't it. I found
Per's whole thing is their whole selling point

1896
01:55:05,319 --> 01:55:13,359
is that condition I want to take
the plus out and save somebody. Huh.

1897
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:15,199
I would just buy another shampoop working
all over the floor. I think

1898
01:55:15,279 --> 01:55:19,680
right now I am using green Apple
store brand head and shoulders. So maybe

1899
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:24,319
I was using a Garnier fruit tease
for a while because I liked to citrus

1900
01:55:24,359 --> 01:55:26,640
smell in the morning, and then
it was it was a nice orange ish

1901
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:29,960
kind of lemony, kind of citrusy
sort of thing, and I thought that

1902
01:55:30,199 --> 01:55:31,279
was nice in the morning. That's
the one with the weird plastic bubble on

1903
01:55:31,279 --> 01:55:33,159
the top, right. Yeah,
probably, I don't know. Yeah,

1904
01:55:33,359 --> 01:55:35,680
it was a while ago, okay, but he didn't have a conditioner in

1905
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:40,119
it, so I didn't trust it. It's not a lot of trust for

1906
01:55:40,199 --> 01:55:45,119
hair care products in this room,
and it shows I'm finding yes. Uh.

1907
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:49,640
Next emails from Gavin does not say
where he's from. It's probably the

1908
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:58,159
UK sheffield Shire. Probably still sound
like a uniquely American problem, but I

1909
01:55:58,239 --> 01:56:01,600
could be wrong. Recently, Pepsi
has changed its recipe and no longer contains

1910
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:05,399
as pertain Yeah. While I understand
why Pepsi made the move due to health

1911
01:56:05,439 --> 01:56:09,800
concerns. No, because they're fucking
suckers. There are no fucking health concerns.

1912
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:13,439
But they've tested the shit out as
pertase. That's what they want you

1913
01:56:13,479 --> 01:56:17,119
to believe me. Yeah, away, he says, I no longer enjoy

1914
01:56:17,239 --> 01:56:20,920
the taste of the soda more.
As as I know, Jeff is a

1915
01:56:20,960 --> 01:56:25,319
big diet Pepsi drinker. I wonder
if how he feels or I'm sorry,

1916
01:56:25,319 --> 01:56:28,479
I wonder if he feels the same
about the change. Can you recall any

1917
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:30,760
food or drinks that you once really
enjoyed but I have lost the taste for

1918
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:34,680
because of the recipe change? Tricks
tricks. When tricks get went into fruit

1919
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:38,840
shapes out instead of just balls,
didn't they go back to balls? Yeah?

1920
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:42,960
But I think the recipe didn't change
back the flavor the changing. The

1921
01:56:43,039 --> 01:56:45,680
consistency of the cereal got a little
harder and a little more waxy, and

1922
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:50,000
to the taste of the fruit.
Flavors changed, and fuck tricks. Unfortunately

1923
01:56:50,079 --> 01:56:54,279
I was still good. Nah,
I can't. I can't deal with tricks

1924
01:56:54,279 --> 01:56:57,760
anymore. It's not my thing.
I fell off the tricks wagon at that

1925
01:56:57,840 --> 01:57:01,600
point in the eighties early nineties,
maybe because you were a kid back then.

1926
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:03,479
Yeah, and then at some point
they're like, oh, you fucked

1927
01:57:03,520 --> 01:57:08,800
up tricks, Fuck you forever,
silly rabbit. Yeah that's a shame.

1928
01:57:09,079 --> 01:57:11,760
And yeah, they put in PEPs
so they took out the aspertain and I

1929
01:57:11,800 --> 01:57:14,199
don't know, I don't know what
they put in. It's something else,

1930
01:57:14,279 --> 01:57:18,199
something else, uh, splenda,
I don't know. Yeah, I think

1931
01:57:18,239 --> 01:57:21,399
it actually is. I think Splenda
is like this genius marketing play where they

1932
01:57:21,439 --> 01:57:25,960
convince people that it was something other
than just aspert team. Yeah anyway,

1933
01:57:26,319 --> 01:57:30,000
yes, they they are now the
around the pepsi logo on a diet pits

1934
01:57:30,119 --> 01:57:33,479
candas is no asperta And I don't
understand diet soda like I could never understand

1935
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:38,119
the different play like dirt, Like
like why did why did Coke zero have

1936
01:57:38,239 --> 01:57:41,359
to be conceived in a world where
diet or Well, it's because that's a

1937
01:57:41,439 --> 01:57:45,880
marketing thing where they feel like dudes
don't want to buy diet soda because it's

1938
01:57:45,239 --> 01:57:49,600
it's it's also a different artificial sweetener, isn't. Yeah, there's a taste

1939
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:54,119
it tastes. It tastes quite a
bit different than dietco but from the marketing

1940
01:57:54,159 --> 01:57:56,720
perspective. That is the thing.
That's why you saw stuff like doctor Pepper

1941
01:57:56,800 --> 01:57:59,199
ten, it's not for women,
and like because they thought that guys had

1942
01:57:59,239 --> 01:58:02,520
some weird stigma about drinking a diet. There's only ladies diet, right exactly.

1943
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:04,359
It was like, no coke zero, it's in a black can.

1944
01:58:04,439 --> 01:58:06,760
It looks manly, it doesn't that
thing. Doesn't that Doctor Pepper actually have

1945
01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:10,359
ten calories? Yeah, that's that's
why it's it's called doctor Pepper ten.

1946
01:58:10,399 --> 01:58:12,439
They had that. They had to
give it just a few calories just to

1947
01:58:12,479 --> 01:58:15,319
make you feel like a man.
They would say in the commercial ten manly

1948
01:58:15,399 --> 01:58:18,560
calories. And the tagline was literally
doctor Pepper ten, it's not for women.

1949
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:21,800
These were commercials that came out like
three or four years ago. I

1950
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:25,800
really yeah, it's like it wasn't
like a Super Bowl campaign. I think

1951
01:58:26,319 --> 01:58:30,560
bullshit. YouTube there's there's a guy
like fly fishing and wrestling a bear's where

1952
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:33,319
he's like driving like an ATV through
a four shooting a grenade launcher or something

1953
01:58:33,359 --> 01:58:39,399
like. I'm not making this up. Women could do all that except drink

1954
01:58:39,439 --> 01:58:43,840
doctor Pepper. So that's right,
those calories are just right. No girls

1955
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:46,520
allowed where the backwards are on it. It's a fucking clubhouse and a can

1956
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:49,039
you have piece of shit. So
I'm a dude and I don't want to

1957
01:58:49,079 --> 01:58:51,279
do any of those things. Yeah
right, I don't know. I would

1958
01:58:51,279 --> 01:58:56,199
shoot a grenadela well, that might
that would probably be fun, But I'm

1959
01:58:56,239 --> 01:58:59,960
not gonna hang out in a stream
or fight a bear. And I've still

1960
01:59:00,159 --> 01:59:02,640
in water before it was it was
it was not unpleasant, kind of nice.

1961
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:08,479
It's lept about the ankles or so
it's tolerable. Yeah, it's not

1962
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:12,880
as good, but I kept drinking
it and its and it's the yeah,

1963
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:15,920
And I feel like they fucking won
and I hate it. I feel like

1964
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,600
they only changed it because they got
pressure from people that are like good as

1965
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:21,840
Pertain's gonna kill you know what it's
like. You know, it's fucking not.

1966
01:59:24,239 --> 01:59:26,600
It gives people headaches, like no, like they test the shit out

1967
01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:28,520
of it. If you want to
tell me that, like you like,

1968
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:30,239
go all the way with it and
say, like, you know, I

1969
01:59:30,319 --> 01:59:33,039
believe in the conspiracy that they're falsifying
the ass pertain Like okay, then fine,

1970
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:36,920
if you want to be one of
those fucking people, let's just settle

1971
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:40,079
this once and for all, let's
just get John Drake. Put him in

1972
01:59:40,119 --> 01:59:44,840
a lab. He's fine, got
the electrodes, make sure, make sure,

1973
01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:47,199
make sure, if he's healthy.
If he's healthy, then everybody's fine.

1974
01:59:47,319 --> 01:59:51,079
Exactly. He's the canary in the
coal mine, all this ship and

1975
01:59:51,279 --> 01:59:56,159
everything's fucking fine. You should probably
just keep a camera on him twenty four

1976
01:59:56,199 --> 02:00:00,640
seven good option. I would watch
that. Yeah, sure, I ah,

1977
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:03,439
some sort of tracking device. Yeah, we probably keeps habs on where

1978
02:00:03,479 --> 02:00:09,520
he's going and why when I would
I would if I if I did switch

1979
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:15,720
away from diet PEPSI, I don't
know. I guess diet barks. Yeah,

1980
02:00:15,720 --> 02:00:17,159
I don't always want to root beer
and there's no caffeine and die barks.

1981
02:00:17,239 --> 02:00:19,720
Yeah. Also yeah, but also
like the caffeine, I don't think

1982
02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:24,600
I am noticing it at all.
Like I'm you know, I'm drinking like

1983
02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:28,279
large iced coffee drinks on occasion,
and nine times out of ten it does

1984
02:00:28,359 --> 02:00:30,279
Jack ship. That's my new thing
is we have the free ones here and

1985
02:00:30,399 --> 02:00:32,479
I didn't take advantage of it for
like the first year and a half I

1986
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:35,840
worked here, And now that I
drink coffee, it turns out that's really

1987
02:00:35,880 --> 02:00:39,439
good. So I drink iced coffee
all the fucking time. Now it's great.

1988
02:00:40,159 --> 02:00:44,039
I yeah, all occasionally have a
coffee or an iced coffee or something

1989
02:00:44,119 --> 02:00:47,039
like that, and if hot caffeine
will affect me, but I had,

1990
02:00:47,439 --> 02:00:53,039
so I've been drinking rock Star recovery
for a while now, the same recovery

1991
02:00:53,119 --> 02:00:55,960
for like hangover. Is that what? I think? That's the secret implication

1992
02:00:56,039 --> 02:00:59,079
that there is, like, hey, you fuck up, you are wasted,

1993
02:00:59,199 --> 02:01:01,560
still to go to work, dumb
ass, drink one of these.

1994
02:01:01,680 --> 02:01:05,520
It won't actually help, but hey, it's only ten calories per serving?

1995
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:10,239
Are they manly calories per serving?
I mean it's a it's a refreshing lemonade

1996
02:01:10,279 --> 02:01:14,880
drink. You tell me. Lemonade
was a popular drink and it still is

1997
02:01:15,359 --> 02:01:19,279
so good. Uh, certainly they
don't have it in Finland? Really,

1998
02:01:19,600 --> 02:01:24,119
yeah, lemons, maybe some finished
people can write in that's weird. Do

1999
02:01:24,159 --> 02:01:27,760
you have lemonade there? I so
I went over the weekend and had to

2000
02:01:27,800 --> 02:01:31,159
get some energy drinks because I was
in a bad way where I wanted some

2001
02:01:31,279 --> 02:01:33,199
energy to drinks. I didn't need
a menage, like I'm gonna go to

2002
02:01:33,239 --> 02:01:36,359
the store and didn't. I didn't
have any. I got a rock star

2003
02:01:36,439 --> 02:01:40,960
recovery and I got a rock star
punched and I drink the punched. Shit

2004
02:01:41,119 --> 02:01:44,359
fucked me up. Man. Yeah, there's something about the full bodied like

2005
02:01:44,600 --> 02:01:46,079
non you know, because the recovery
on it is like ten galleries in or

2006
02:01:46,119 --> 02:01:48,199
something like that. I don't know
what, if what else the punched has

2007
02:01:48,239 --> 02:01:53,279
in It's it's like a fruit punch. I like a fruit punch. I

2008
02:01:53,399 --> 02:01:56,920
drank that thing and I was I
was good to go. So I think

2009
02:01:56,920 --> 02:01:59,760
it might be a situation where maybe
I just have to rotate energy drinks every

2010
02:01:59,800 --> 02:02:01,960
three years or something like that when
I get to this weird point where it's

2011
02:02:01,960 --> 02:02:04,920
like I'm not I'm just not eating
it like I used to, and like

2012
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:08,840
I have, you've taken enough of
the poison and now that you're immune,

2013
02:02:09,039 --> 02:02:13,479
you need to move on exactly.
Yeah, it's and and so now when

2014
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:15,359
I when I drink a Red Bull, it actually does something to me again,

2015
02:02:15,399 --> 02:02:21,000
which for years it didn't. And
one time I drank enough, I

2016
02:02:21,079 --> 02:02:25,840
think I got a peptic ulcer.
Wow, that sounds bad if you drink

2017
02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:28,960
too much tourine. As it turns
out, if you drink too much Red

2018
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:32,960
Bull, you can that can happen. And me and Ryan and this guy

2019
02:02:33,079 --> 02:02:38,920
Ben, we each bought cases of
that concentrated red Bull, the tie tie

2020
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:42,560
red Bull. I've still got an
unopened one of those in a drawer somewhere

2021
02:02:42,640 --> 02:02:44,720
that's about eight years It's good.
It tastes like red bull syrup. It's

2022
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:47,039
like concentrated red Bull, and it's
not carbonated or anything like that. And

2023
02:02:47,119 --> 02:02:51,880
so I drink twelve of those one
sitting wow. And then Ryan and Ben

2024
02:02:53,079 --> 02:02:57,760
split a twelve. And then the
next day we went back to the store

2025
02:02:57,840 --> 02:03:00,920
for more, and the woman saw
us getting them, and she's like she

2026
02:03:00,039 --> 02:03:02,279
realized we had just bought them,
and she's like, no, no,

2027
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:06,079
no, no, like didn't didn't
speak the best English, but was very

2028
02:03:06,159 --> 02:03:10,039
much, very adamant that we did
not drink all of those, did you?

2029
02:03:11,359 --> 02:03:14,079
Yeah, no, I didn't.
Didn't drink a second case. He

2030
02:03:14,119 --> 02:03:15,720
went back and got more for whatever
else he was doing. But then after

2031
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:18,239
that we went to a taco bell
and one of those guys used to work

2032
02:03:18,239 --> 02:03:23,880
at a taco bell and he knew
how to get just the Mountain deuce syrup

2033
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:25,960
out of the fountain, like you
hit the little switch in the back.

2034
02:03:26,479 --> 02:03:29,479
Okay. So I drank like two
ounces of that after drinking twelve of those

2035
02:03:29,520 --> 02:03:30,760
things, my stomach herd for like
a month. It was all. I

2036
02:03:30,760 --> 02:03:34,159
couldn't drink Red Bull for years afterward. It just it just didn't. It

2037
02:03:34,279 --> 02:03:39,319
held no appeal. That's that's unfortunate. And then I slowly got back on

2038
02:03:39,439 --> 02:03:43,359
the train and everything's fine now.
But yeah, apparently if you take,

2039
02:03:43,479 --> 02:03:45,720
if you get too much of that
in your system, it can lead to

2040
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:51,039
a temporary a peptic culture. Careful, temporary sit careful with tie Red Bull's

2041
02:03:51,319 --> 02:03:55,640
potent. Oh yeah, that shit, concentrate, She'll do it for you.

2042
02:03:55,720 --> 02:03:58,800
I wonder if you could still get
that around here. Probably surely someone

2043
02:03:58,920 --> 02:04:00,920
has it. Yeah, oh,
I'm sure. Like I would love to

2044
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:03,399
have some. I kind of want
to go fund somewhere in the Richmond null

2045
02:04:03,439 --> 02:04:06,640
bet sells it. Yeah, probably
probably. I would love to maybe somewhere

2046
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:12,319
around japan Town or something. All
right, Email from Jack in New York.

2047
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:17,680
Yes that's a good place. Uh, Jack says, have you seen

2048
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:24,359
the thousands of people commenting skate four
on every single post on EA's Instagram account.

2049
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:28,239
If there's ever a time I've seen
social media used to send a message

2050
02:04:28,279 --> 02:04:30,560
positively, this seems to be it. Let's hope, EA take notice.

2051
02:04:30,920 --> 02:04:34,880
I mean there's probably like two people
maybe right, I don't know, it's

2052
02:04:34,920 --> 02:04:39,840
just the their their account is just
Ea on Instagram. We should go check.

2053
02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:43,359
I would look, he says,
I don't know. He makes him

2054
02:04:43,359 --> 02:04:49,600
sound dire. We're gonna fact check
this situation right now. I thought it

2055
02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:51,359
was kind of funny, but I
mean yet, if you remember, there

2056
02:04:51,439 --> 02:04:56,880
was like the kind of beauty pie
whipped skate three back into the main stream

2057
02:04:57,399 --> 02:05:00,920
right a year or two ago.
So I think it's just eight has taken

2058
02:05:00,960 --> 02:05:04,359
on kind of a myth mythical quality. Okay, this some extent. Uh

2059
02:05:05,079 --> 02:05:11,159

2095

Desmond Butler twelve WDS says, release
NBA Live Mobile in the US unexpected turn

2097
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:45,000
Skate four. Do you think they
will make a Skate four? There is

2098
02:08:45,079 --> 02:08:50,640
an Instagram account Skate four with the
EA logo says Skate four eight twenty three

2099
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:54,880
sixteen prayer to tighten your trucks.
The franchise is back like never before.

2100
02:08:54,239 --> 02:09:01,960
Fifteen followers. They're tweeting to look
like skate three screen shots with four hastily

2101
02:09:01,039 --> 02:09:05,119
placed that posted on there. That's
cool. Yeah, if we searched the

2102
02:09:05,279 --> 02:09:11,640
skate four hashtag, you get two
thousand, four hundred and eighteen posts.

2103
02:09:13,560 --> 02:09:18,840
That's right behind skate four Jesus three
thousand, four hundred and sixty five posts.

2104
02:09:18,880 --> 02:09:22,239
I think the people want their skate. Do you think they will make

2105
02:09:22,239 --> 02:09:26,039
a new skate You know, I
there's a groundswall of support. I would

2106
02:09:26,079 --> 02:09:31,079
love for them to make Skate four. Yeah, maybe it's time, But

2107
02:09:31,239 --> 02:09:35,199
I wonder how many people from the
previous games are still there and where they've

2108
02:09:35,279 --> 02:09:37,479
moved to, Like you know,
we've said it before. It sounded like

2109
02:09:37,600 --> 02:09:41,000
that some chunk of that team went
on to actually do plants versa zombies garden

2110
02:09:41,039 --> 02:09:46,439
warfare. Right, that's right,
So hey, they know how to make

2111
02:09:46,479 --> 02:09:48,920
games, it seems. Yeah,
the skate games are good. They made

2112
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:54,319
a great skate series and then they
made a better than it should have been

2113
02:09:54,279 --> 02:09:58,319
spin off wave based multiplayer shooter.
I think that the release of Tony Hawk

2114
02:09:58,359 --> 02:10:01,800
five actually the kind of salt the
earth and when it comes to putting out

2115
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:05,680
a skateboarding game at all right now, and it's like you'd think that might

2116
02:10:05,760 --> 02:10:07,800
go the other way, and people
are like, oh, they're clamoring for

2117
02:10:07,880 --> 02:10:09,760
a great skateboarding game. But I
just don't know that enough people cared about

2118
02:10:09,800 --> 02:10:16,199
Tony Hawk one way or the other
to necessarily give you a lot of like

2119
02:10:16,720 --> 02:10:22,960
faith in the market to really truly
come out for a quality skateboarding game.

2120
02:10:24,319 --> 02:10:26,720
I just don't know that the interest
is there in a in a wide sense,

2121
02:10:26,760 --> 02:10:31,239
in a wide scale. Sure,
they should do it, though I

2122
02:10:31,239 --> 02:10:35,600
would love I would love to see
them try. No guarantee that would be

2123
02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:41,000
a great game. Kate It was
not perfect, It had some issues,

2124
02:10:41,079 --> 02:10:43,279
It had heart though definitely right,
Yeah, I love the intro movies,

2125
02:10:43,399 --> 02:10:50,640
the just a great set of games. Like the idea that EA, of

2126
02:10:50,680 --> 02:10:54,119
all companies, would come along and
ride the cotails of the skateboarding video game

2127
02:10:54,199 --> 02:10:58,199
craze and actually do something interesting and
different with it. Yeah, I mean,

2128
02:10:58,239 --> 02:11:01,199
you know, not just making also
ran just kind of like glombing onto

2129
02:11:01,199 --> 02:11:03,520
the success of something else. Well, I mean they took a very if

2130
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:05,039
you think about it, they took
a very EA like approach to it,

2131
02:11:05,479 --> 02:11:09,840
as if it was an EA Sports
release where they're like there was they were

2132
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:13,399
trying to make something that was a
little more authentic than Tony Hawk. You

2133
02:11:13,479 --> 02:11:16,560
weren't busting out the pizza boxes and
bullshit okay, fireworks out of your ass

2134
02:11:16,600 --> 02:11:24,960
while you're grinding. It wasn't about
that. Uh, And it was those

2135
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:30,359
are some great games. They should
make Skate four all right? This podcast

2136
02:11:30,439 --> 02:11:35,319
is spoken hashtag skate four. Uh
speaking of me up on the Grand Yes,

2137
02:11:35,399 --> 02:11:41,399
there you go, slash ea.
Uh. Here's another email about the

2138
02:11:41,479 --> 02:11:46,119
EA Sports games Extreme Sports from Jacob
in Bellingham, Washington. I was just

2139
02:11:46,239 --> 02:11:52,039
wondering if I could get your consensus
on SSX tricky versus SSX three. Oh

2140
02:11:52,319 --> 02:11:58,279
man, Okay to it. Tricky
is the second game. Tricky is the

2141
02:11:58,319 --> 02:12:01,640
second one, which is a lot
of the same courses that were in the

2142
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:03,800
first one, like Tokyo Megaplace,
and I think a lot of the really

2143
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:07,000
good courses came back for two.
They had more characters, and they went

2144
02:12:07,159 --> 02:12:11,600
harder in the kind of wacky direction
with the uber moves and everything, and

2145
02:12:11,800 --> 02:12:13,239
played its tricky. They played it's
tricky when he got your uber moved,

2146
02:12:13,359 --> 02:12:16,880
and then there's stuff like the guy
with the afro doing the worm on the

2147
02:12:16,920 --> 02:12:22,520
board and everything too. Tricky was
more of a upgraded one, definitely better

2148
02:12:22,560 --> 02:12:26,800
than one, even though I loved
one. Three took itself a little more

2149
02:12:26,960 --> 02:12:28,479
seriously. It was all like it's
a big gimmick. Was it was all

2150
02:12:28,520 --> 02:12:33,720
on one giant mountain and they're just
different paths and stuff, And I think

2151
02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:37,760
you could conceivably like start from the
top and then go down and they were

2152
02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:41,159
like checkpoints along the way. Like
I want to say that might be sex

2153
02:12:41,239 --> 02:12:43,640
three I'm thinking of, but no, no, that the final courses when

2154
02:12:43,680 --> 02:12:46,039
we're just drops you at the top
and it's kind of almost more open the

2155
02:12:46,079 --> 02:12:48,600
way you go down and everything.
But yeah, I think you could like

2156
02:12:48,720 --> 02:12:52,600
some courses were just like, we're
going to attach this one to this one,

2157
02:12:52,920 --> 02:12:56,079
and it's really long, and it's
got the trick stuff, the trick

2158
02:12:56,159 --> 02:13:01,159
mode, the race mode. Shit. I remember remember loving the hell out

2159
02:13:01,199 --> 02:13:03,079
of three and at the time thinking
it was better than Tricky, but this

2160
02:13:03,199 --> 02:13:07,359
far removed. I'm struggling outside of
the Mountain gimmick to remember exactly what it

2161
02:13:07,520 --> 02:13:09,920
was. I know, control wise
and everything, it was just right.

2162
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:13,279
What do you think of the reboot? I did not like it. Seein

2163
02:13:13,439 --> 02:13:18,159
that makes perfect sense because yeah,
didn't just call it right. I didn't

2164
02:13:18,159 --> 02:13:20,520
like it. I ended up kind
of liking that game, and I don't

2165
02:13:20,560 --> 02:13:22,840
like any of the other SSX game. I immediately hated the stuff where it's

2166
02:13:22,880 --> 02:13:24,960
like, oh, here, you
gotta wear this thing for when it's like

2167
02:13:26,439 --> 02:13:30,439
warm, getting the shadow and or
this is gonna break off. Like it

2168
02:13:30,520 --> 02:13:33,399
did not feel like their structure,
with all the like timed tournaments and all

2169
02:13:33,439 --> 02:13:37,520
that stuff, seemed like a bunch
of really cool ideas. I but the

2170
02:13:37,640 --> 02:13:41,000
actual snowboarding, you know, I
was not. I don't know, I

2171
02:13:41,319 --> 02:13:45,760
just don't really like most snowboarding games. Yeah, I love three. I

2172
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:52,199
capped it off like fuck everything else. Dark Stummit, the Snowboarding Sea Dark

2173
02:13:52,239 --> 02:13:58,359
Summit, and maybe Snowboard Kids.
Uh yeah, I man spend so long

2174
02:13:58,399 --> 02:14:00,960
since I've played three, but I
do remember thinking like this is the best,

2175
02:14:01,039 --> 02:14:03,720
and they actually made Tricky better.
But I am struggling to remember what

2176
02:14:03,840 --> 02:14:07,399
the things were outside of that Mountain
being pretty cool. But two was more

2177
02:14:07,439 --> 02:14:11,000
gimmicky. Two had like the big
pinball type levels and stuff like tokey Megaplex.

2178
02:14:11,560 --> 02:14:16,000
But they're the first three are incredible
fucking games. They're great. Didn't

2179
02:14:16,039 --> 02:14:20,159
like on tour they did a yeah, and that's more where you could.

2180
02:14:20,520 --> 02:14:24,600
No. I think ontour might have
come to the w Two on tour,

2181
02:14:24,600 --> 02:14:26,640
I think is where they brought in
skis. I think there was a separate

2182
02:14:26,720 --> 02:14:31,760
one downhill Jam was Tony Hawk.
I think there was a separate we SSX

2183
02:14:31,079 --> 02:14:33,359
or maybe that was just on tour. But I didn't like that one.

2184
02:14:33,800 --> 02:14:37,479
But the first three are fantastic.
Yeah, they were doing different because they

2185
02:14:37,479 --> 02:14:41,000
did skate It for the Wii,
so they were they were kind of doing

2186
02:14:43,560 --> 02:14:46,079
slightly different takes on some of that. Maybe on tour was just we exclusive

2187
02:14:48,119 --> 02:14:50,199
and that's what I'm thinking of.
I don't I just remember not being into

2188
02:14:50,239 --> 02:14:54,199
it. And really being into three. So there you have it. I

2189
02:14:54,199 --> 02:15:00,520
love those games, all right?
Two more emails. What do you say?

2190
02:15:00,640 --> 02:15:03,680
Sure? All right, Drew?
Yeah, when it's targeted squarely at

2191
02:15:03,760 --> 02:15:09,079
you, I can feel the laser
beam on my forehead. Emails, all

2192
02:15:09,119 --> 02:15:11,920
these red lights in here, it's
still all devil daggers in here. Yeah,

2193
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:16,640
we're gonna walk outside that door and
it's gonna be a giant wind,

2194
02:15:16,800 --> 02:15:20,720
giant skull with poor deal with ram
horns. I really liked it. I

2195
02:15:20,840 --> 02:15:24,680
really liked it too a lot.
I couldn't do this every week. It's

2196
02:15:24,840 --> 02:15:28,319
it's it's nice for this week.
Did a shift to orange it's a theme

2197
02:15:28,359 --> 02:15:31,359
week? Nope, it's not orange
now because it seemed to although although the

2198
02:15:31,399 --> 02:15:33,880
second that you said that, now
it looks orange, it feels it's like

2199
02:15:33,960 --> 02:15:37,760
Denver Broncos orange. Here. It
looked very red to me before, and

2200
02:15:37,840 --> 02:15:41,880
now it looks now it looks it
was totally red before. What's happening to

2201
02:15:41,960 --> 02:15:46,000
our eyes? We're all dying now
you see it. We only see it.

2202
02:15:46,119 --> 02:15:48,399
The only thing that we'll save us. As more emails uh from Kevin

2203
02:15:50,600 --> 02:15:54,479
Drew previously mentioned them the side effects
of one consuming an excessive amount of fiber.

2204
02:15:54,119 --> 02:15:58,439
Let me tell you what happens when
someone consumes too much protein. My

2205
02:15:58,560 --> 02:16:01,439
wife is a scenographer and has always
been attempting to manage my protein intake as

2206
02:16:01,479 --> 02:16:07,520
a weightlifter. I never took the
advice seriously until she's a stenographer sonographer okay,

2207
02:16:07,680 --> 02:16:13,880
like a like sonogram type person.
Yes, I never took the advice

2208
02:16:13,920 --> 02:16:18,640
seriously until she showed me a recent
example. She scanned a weightlifter who came

2209
02:16:18,680 --> 02:16:20,800
into the clinic with a complaint of
quote back pain. After she did an

2210
02:16:20,880 --> 02:16:24,680
ultrasound on him, it was revealed
that both of his kidneys were filled with

2211
02:16:24,800 --> 02:16:28,880
massive kidney stones, so big,
in fact, that they took up most

2212
02:16:28,920 --> 02:16:33,000
of his kidneys. Like both his
kidneys were solid rocks. There was no

2213
02:16:33,120 --> 02:16:35,399
way he could ever pass them.
So we'll have to go under the knife.

2214
02:16:35,440 --> 02:16:39,639
A sap, drink plenty of water. Don't eat a dozen eggs for

2215
02:16:39,680 --> 02:16:43,920
breakfast, lift heavy. Wow,
thank you, that's a lot of protein.

2216
02:16:45,559 --> 02:16:50,799
Jesus, Yes, that seems bad. Eat a dozen eggs for breakfast.

2217
02:16:52,159 --> 02:16:54,399
They just fired sound waves at the
rocks to break them up. Oh,

2218
02:16:54,399 --> 02:16:56,840
I don't know, maybe I think
it was probably not smaller ones.

2219
02:16:58,440 --> 02:17:01,719
I don't know, I don't know. That's I don't know that. Oh

2220
02:17:01,959 --> 02:17:05,559
God, I'll tell you. Probably
you would probably see the stones, gall

2221
02:17:05,600 --> 02:17:09,000
stones, all that sort of stuff. That is you probably stilling passed the

2222
02:17:09,040 --> 02:17:13,479
little fragments. Yeah, supposed to
be. I think you got a lot.

2223
02:17:13,639 --> 02:17:16,639
It's supposed to be horrifically painful.
I feel like I've heard how painful

2224
02:17:16,680 --> 02:17:18,479
that is. That if I felt
that I was for sure about to pass

2225
02:17:18,520 --> 02:17:22,799
a kidney stone, I would like
just tell my girlfriend, like, take

2226
02:17:22,879 --> 02:17:24,120
me to the hospital, tell me
I'm having kidney stones, take them out.

2227
02:17:24,159 --> 02:17:26,680
I gotta take care of this now. And then I would just run

2228
02:17:26,719 --> 02:17:28,399
headfirst into a wall until I was
passed out, and I hope that I

2229
02:17:28,479 --> 02:17:31,760
just woke up in a hospital bed
with no kidney stuff. I don't know

2230
02:17:31,799 --> 02:17:33,200
that you could pass them while you're
out. Well that's what I'm saying.

2231
02:17:33,200 --> 02:17:41,440
While I'm knocked out, have her
cut you open, and fuck, let's

2232
02:17:41,440 --> 02:17:43,120
get the morphine going. You'll be
fine. Seeing in dead Wood where he's

2233
02:17:43,120 --> 02:17:45,879
passing word it seems like the worst
thing in the world. One of my

2234
02:17:46,040 --> 02:17:54,040
roommates had them and was passing them
in the kitchen into a cup because he

2235
02:17:54,159 --> 02:17:58,920
was told to like keep track of
him or something what. I don't know.

2236
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:01,680
It was a cup that I like
drinking out of. It was really

2237
02:18:01,840 --> 02:18:05,799
it was really fucked up situations all
around. That's really messed up. I

2238
02:18:05,959 --> 02:18:07,840
like that cup. You don't like
win something if you keep your stones.

2239
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:13,719
Hey, I I don't know what
his situation was period. Better not to

2240
02:18:13,760 --> 02:18:18,559
ask, yeah at this point,
all right, One more email from Josh

2241
02:18:18,639 --> 02:18:22,280
and Adelaide Australia. Hey, guys, I'm listening to I'm listening through the

2242
02:18:22,319 --> 02:18:26,479
bomb cast from the beginning, and
it's funny to hear Jeff and Ryan talking

2243
02:18:26,520 --> 02:18:31,959
about the band from first to Last
being exploited by Guitar Hero and doing a

2244
02:18:31,040 --> 02:18:35,799
tour where they stop the show and
play the game live on stage. This

2245
02:18:35,959 --> 02:18:39,440
is funny because the singer went on
to become Scrillics. I guess he likes

2246
02:18:39,479 --> 02:18:43,920
the feel of pressing buttons on stage
a little too much. Huh wow,

2247
02:18:45,319 --> 02:18:48,239
fact void for you. Yeah,
that still sounds That still sounds awful.

2248
02:18:48,319 --> 02:18:54,319
Idea of someone breaking down mid set
and playing guitar. I don't remember anything

2249
02:18:54,360 --> 02:18:58,639
about that. Boy. That sounds
terrible. I thought i'd throw that in

2250
02:18:58,680 --> 02:19:01,159
there, Steven Jogg, didn't he
men? Yeah, no, that's unfortunate

2251
02:19:01,239 --> 02:19:03,799
for Scrix. I wonder he got
away from that ship. I don't I

2252
02:19:03,840 --> 02:19:09,200
don't really know exactly what you would
have meant about being exploited by a guitar

2253
02:19:09,319 --> 02:19:13,559
Hero. I mean, like the
business deal of agreeing to fucking play guitar

2254
02:19:13,680 --> 02:19:16,159
Hero in the middle of your fucking
set. Oh, I thought. I

2255
02:19:16,239 --> 02:19:20,079
assume there was some aspect of them
having a song in the game or something.

2256
02:19:20,280 --> 02:19:22,600
They may have also, who knows, maybe they also had. They

2257
02:19:22,639 --> 02:19:26,200
probably also sit into the band from
first to last. I don't know.

2258
02:19:26,639 --> 02:19:31,360
Before Screlex was SCRELEXA, he was
in some bands. Apparently this was news

2259
02:19:31,399 --> 02:19:33,639
to me. I don't remember that
from the set list, but who knows.

2260
02:19:33,799 --> 02:19:37,280
Yeah, anyway, it was not
the first Guitar Hero was one of

2261
02:19:37,360 --> 02:19:41,079
the Oh oh, okay, all
right, oh god, you're right.

2262
02:19:41,120 --> 02:19:43,479
Actually, I guess Guitar Hero would
have been around for a little bit before

2263
02:19:43,559 --> 02:19:46,280
that started, right now, I
remember, all right, that's it for

2264
02:19:46,360 --> 02:19:50,719
emails, I have the tunnel or
open. I'm say, let's do like

2265
02:19:50,920 --> 02:19:58,360
three what do you say? Okay, uh, make it more red in

2266
02:19:58,440 --> 02:20:01,280
here? I have if it's getting
if we're gonna get there, it's pretty

2267
02:20:01,280 --> 02:20:05,719
benign this week. Actually, okay, like shockingly actually all right, it's

2268
02:20:05,799 --> 02:20:09,920
actually having a hard time finding.
Oh no, now the page won't load.

2269
02:20:11,360 --> 02:20:13,760
Come on Tumblr. I don't even
know what this means. Squidly diddly

2270
02:20:13,840 --> 02:20:16,719
or a great pape? Great pape? Is that ringy bells? Yeah?

2271
02:20:16,719 --> 02:20:20,479
Squid did walking squid walking off tops? Great pape? Was it was a

2272
02:20:20,479 --> 02:20:24,920
cartoon? Or was it a great
bape? Great Bape's that's wrong? Great

2273
02:20:24,959 --> 02:20:28,239
pape? Except that he except that. Now there's probably stores called vape ape

2274
02:20:31,040 --> 02:20:35,200
and any liquids called a great vapee. Yep, so that's been ruined for

2275
02:20:35,319 --> 02:20:45,920
a generation, for all generations.
Congratulations, assholes? Uh darth vapor Jeff?

2276
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:50,200
How is how is Cody actual coming
along? I don't even know what

2277
02:20:50,319 --> 02:20:54,360
that is? It's not okay,
Yeah, this question's weird. Well we

2278
02:20:54,440 --> 02:20:58,159
ever see the binary domain license again? No? No, no, no,

2279
02:20:58,440 --> 02:21:05,079
I'll come on on with her big
bow. Yeah, sadly, I

2280
02:21:05,159 --> 02:21:07,639
believe we've seen big bows last rodeo. Actually, they should make a game

2281
02:21:07,639 --> 02:21:15,239
called big I would definitely play that. Would you rather be called fam or

2282
02:21:15,280 --> 02:21:20,639
Simpie? Fams Family? What a
simpie? That's an anime thing, right,

2283
02:21:20,799 --> 02:21:22,760
Yes, my god, they're both
anime things as you try hard.

2284
02:21:22,879 --> 02:21:26,000
Yeah, I don't know, there's
Okay, that's a good point, yep,

2285
02:21:26,399 --> 02:21:28,239
I go with fams virtue of not
being anime. Okay, sure,

2286
02:21:31,520 --> 02:21:33,760
I want Austin to call me fam. Yeah, that's who can call me

2287
02:21:33,799 --> 02:21:39,200
fam? Okay, what's it?
You're putting your foot down? Mm?

2288
02:21:41,680 --> 02:21:43,959
Everybody else can call me SIMPI and
I the only one who thinks it's time

2289
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:48,879
for jazz jack rabbit three. Yeah, there was a time when I thought

2290
02:21:48,920 --> 02:21:52,760
that that would be a great thing
to do, and I feel like that

2291
02:21:52,879 --> 02:21:56,600
time that window closed. You're probably
right, got that forgot that fancy launcher.

2292
02:21:56,680 --> 02:22:01,120
Now maybe maybe it'll be a character
in Paragon. I could be behind

2293
02:22:01,159 --> 02:22:05,120
that. Sure is the Big Show
actually the vape king? Yeah? I

2294
02:22:05,120 --> 02:22:07,440
don't even know what that means.
I shouldn't have been asked. Big Show

2295
02:22:07,520 --> 02:22:11,719
vapes still my most popular. Took
a picture of Big Show vaping at the

2296
02:22:11,760 --> 02:22:16,280
Hall of Fame. Wow, and
people seem to really like the man vaping

2297
02:22:16,319 --> 02:22:20,079
and destiny huh like yeah, wow, it's living the life, I guess.

2298
02:22:20,120 --> 02:22:24,280
So sure, get yours Big Show, Dan? Why do you follow

2299
02:22:24,319 --> 02:22:26,440
Donald Trump? Oh? Just to
see that bullshit, he says, Okay,

2300
02:22:26,520 --> 02:22:30,040
like just all right, morbid and
kind of hate follow the thing,

2301
02:22:30,120 --> 02:22:35,040
you know? Yeah, yeah,
great, Uh let's see do you follow

2302
02:22:35,079 --> 02:22:39,680
his vachen sao? Yeah, no, I've got a few hate follows on

2303
02:22:39,760 --> 02:22:43,840
there. Yeah. Numerous people asked
this week if Kanye West is the modern

2304
02:22:43,920 --> 02:22:50,399
day Andy Kaufman. No, No, he's not self aware in doing this

2305
02:22:50,479 --> 02:22:54,760
on perfect Yeah. Or I mean
he might be, but not to a

2306
02:22:54,920 --> 02:22:58,600
level that any comment was doing a
very different thing. This is not this

2307
02:22:58,680 --> 02:23:03,520
is not that sure. All right, that's gonna do it for all of

2308
02:23:03,600 --> 02:23:07,680
our correspondence for the week and thus
the podcast. This room isn't exceptionally red.

2309
02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:11,639
We're gonna have to get out of
here before we burn to death.

2310
02:23:11,920 --> 02:23:15,639
Are you turning up the intensity of
these lives? I feel like I feel

2311
02:23:15,639 --> 02:23:18,680
like I'm seeing you're watching the lights
do things and it's terrifying. Oh things

2312
02:23:18,799 --> 02:23:22,239
like oh no, don't you Okay, we definitely have to go down.

2313
02:23:22,360 --> 02:23:26,280
It's that's it for the jib bodcast. My damn tongue, that's oh my

2314
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:28,879
god, thinks every color all at
once. I think I'm gonna throw up

2315
02:23:28,920 --> 02:23:31,120
right now. Instagram does a video, right boy, It does. Yeah,

2316
02:23:31,280 --> 02:23:33,680
well I have to get out of
this room now, So thanks for

02:23:33,760 --> 02:23:37,079
listening. It's gonna do it for
the Giant Bodcasts. See you next week.

2318
02:23:37,120 --> 02:23:37,959
Thanks bye, see then,
