24
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:23.319
some Kojima bullshit. Yeah, that
looks good. Those fucking shorts. Baby,

25
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:31.199
you suddenly are able to become invisible
inside a cardboard box and carry an

26
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.919
obscene amount of boxes on your back. Do those shorts have like a PSP

27
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.080
pocket? Like? God, I
wish they're so comfy as well? Are

28
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.199
they? There looks like a terrible
amount of screen printing on your shorts.

29
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.800
There, they're making you shorts expert. All of a sudden, Sam and

30
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.120
STI, it's the season of the
shorts. Yeah, and I am a

31
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.680
T shirt. Yeah, Like you
introduced him and saying it's the season of

32
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.639
the shorts and this motherfucker said it's
joga season. Well, it's approaching.

33
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.520
It's the approaching. H. This
is what I said. But I just

34
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.400
feel like a lot of print on
shorts is h It's actually not. It's

35
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.439
actually not high quality, high quality
print. I'm excited that the fact that

36
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.479
I know that when I watched these, it's it's gonna fall apart. No,

37
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.919
it's not. It's not. I
can see that based on the way

38
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.599
it feels. It's not going to
disintegrate. Okay, I'm happy for I

39
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.599
feel I feel like it would disintegrate
eventually, but not immediate always. I

40
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.759
mean, that's all of us,
really, right, We're all gonna disintegrate

41
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:31.759
eventually. Yeah, bought I bought
like a a bunch of metal gear apparel

42
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.560
recently, clearly all bootlegs. But
you know what, yeah, phenomic.

43
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.840
I love bootleg merch like I love
going to a big concert and then seeing

44
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.680
vendors afterwards selling like hey, it's
the official merch, and everything's like slightly

45
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.599
askew, or it's like they would
never sell a Taylor Swift would never sell

46
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.240
a poop brown t shirt with her
face on it. You know what,

47
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.639
I just I just went into my
email to type in metal Gear Solide,

48
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.639
or to try and figure out remind
myself who I purchase or where I purchased

49
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.319
this from it was from a company, and I instead received a reminder saying

50
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.800
that, or an email saying that
I ordered the metal Gear Solid board game,

51
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.600
oh from from the company Come On, which I imagine was via Kickstarter,

52
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.720
and I click the link and it
takes me to a four or four

53
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:29.800
page Okay, okay, I mean, you know, sometimes operations sometimes when

54
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.480
the campaign ends, it takes a
little bit of time to reconnect the wires.

55
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.360
Right, we know, I haven't
heard a single I had a single

56
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.959
email from them. Since that's probably
mean, that's probably a good thing.

57
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.720
Maybe. Speaking about board games,
my partner, my poor partner in the

58
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.759
thick of it, in her first
official year of teaching, where at the

59
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.240
Barnes and Noble, right and and
she was like, Hey, let's go

60
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.160
buy that bird game that everyone's talking
about. That there's a bird board game

61
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.759
right now. It's blowing up amongst
our our our friends and acquaintances. I

62
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.959
believe it's called Wingspan. And then
I look at her and I tell her

63
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.639
it's like, Hey, we're gonna
buy this game. And we're never gonna

64
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.000
play it. You canna make me
learn how to play this game, and

65
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.279
we will. We don't hang out
with anyone but you, me and the

66
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:24.120
dog. No one's gonna play this
with us. And she, she like

67
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.560
excitedly was holding onto it, clutching
it in her arms, and then she

68
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.519
quietly put it back. Oh this
looks good. And then and then I

69
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.079
saw her, I saw her opening
up TikTok of like how to play Wingspan.

70
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:42.759
Just I'm looking at videos of this, and I'm not being rude,

71
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.199
but this is a board game about
birds. It is, it is.

72
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.120
Why Why would that be rude?
Birds are fucking cool? Man, He's

73
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.480
right. I just want to emphasize. I just want to emphasize. This

74
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:59.279
is a board game about birds.
All right. There are the room,

75
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:00.600
and I saw someone playing that,
I would walk out of the room and

76
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.639
being like that game is into birds. The only thing birds, The only

77
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.560
thing worse than walking into a room
and seeing a bunch of people playing board

78
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:13.399
games is a board game about birds. I don't know. Somebody's gonna push

79
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.439
back. I'm gonna push back here, I think, all hold on,

80
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.800
there is a card for here for
the crow. I'm walked on around on

81
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:26.560
this com in. I just think
we all do a poor job of respecting

82
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.519
birds. Birds really terrified of birds. They're super dope. I got like

83
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.279
a big crane that's in the pond
right in my backyard, and I see

84
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.639
them all the time, and I'm
just like, I'm never gonna fuck with

85
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.000
you. You would just destroy me. You're a dinosaur, You're you're like

86
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:45.079
seven feet tall. I do I
do respect that you did say, like,

87
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.800
you know, we're not I have
shelves. In case it wasn't clear.

88
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.519
I do like board games, although
I have shows of board games that

89
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:57.000
I purchase and then never play,
So I respect that. I think I

90
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.240
saw one of those wrapped in plastic
too, may a lot of them plastic.

91
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.480
And then she she was saying like, oh, maybe I could teach

92
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.639
my students how to play. I'm
like, no, no, no,

93
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.160
no, no, no, you're
this is not how this is going to

94
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.560
happen. I'm getting it comes with
little birdhouses. Yeah, I'm getting this

95
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.000
bird feed or dice tower a component
for wingspan. Okay, if you want

96
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:25.319
to get further into bird lore,
I suggest looking up the song by the

97
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:32.839
Sweat Shop Boys Swet Birding and you
put little eggs on the cards. Especially.

98
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.160
I would just like to say,
Sweatshop Boys. I did not think

99
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.360
that I would be hearing a reference
to the Sweatshop Boys today. I did

100
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.399
not think that I would be hearing
it from Jan on the Bomb. I

101
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.319
love he man. Shoot, dude, the wait, which sweatshop boys are

102
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.040

00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.199
would look at me once in my
life. You know, we'll arrange it.

109
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.920
We'll dress you up as a bird. We'll all be the same.

110
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.800
The second thing I want to say
is I regret to inform me that I

111
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:30.079
have purchased Wingspan the bo Wingspan cut
the check. Dang it. Yeah,

112

seriously, welcome a Wingspan gets a
break twenty nineteen Game of the Year winner.

113
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.639
I guess all right, it's good, good for you. Maybe we'll

114
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.399
play Wingspan oh, okay, TAM's
out of battery. It happens, well

115
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.080
because your camera doesn't have a camera
doesn't have battery. You've seen it now,

116
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.240
so you know you don't have dum
battery for it. No, yeah,

117
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.279
it's got a dummy battery. But
like it's it's like, no,

118
00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:00.360
it's fine, it's it's always working. It's just all right. Before remove

119
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.240
onto games, I just have a
quick, uh complaint or bance, please,

120
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.879
I'm ready to hear it. So
I bought the Sony FX thirty like

121
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.960
around I believe earlier this year,
and I thought it would serve me well

122
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.399
because we occasionally travel for this job, right, and and then I shoot

123
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:24.320
the videos for it. Let me
tell you, during packs, using this

124
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.360
camera was incredibly frustrating because Tam and
Grubby can Attest would see me just start

125
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.000
cussing out of nowhere, uh and
throwing my hands up in the air because

126
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.320
this camera would randomly just shut off
and restart. Was temperature issue, I

127
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.200
thought it was it was I thought
it was was not. And uh,

128
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:52.480
all throughout packs would start stop no
reason, no discernible reason, right,

129
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.440
I take it though. There was
one moment where this is off to the

130
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.120
camera had proved to be useless.
Where you can where you where you dropped

131
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.559
the camera? Yes, and as
as it was falling, my foot wasn't

132
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.879
in the way. And very quickly
in my mind I saw this camera falling,

133
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.480
and I thought I could ever put
my phone away and stopped this or

134
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.679
I could not, and or I
could not because and I almost did not,

135
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.679
because I thought this camera has been
utterly useless for us. So why

136
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.559
am I putting my phone the way
in? What's foot is in the way.

137
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.960
It's like the trolley problem right now? If it's broken? Now,

138
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.000
did your foot contribute it? And
you're responsible for the problem. Yeah,

139
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.360
I did put my feet in the
way, and I basically caught it in

140
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.519
before it hit the ground proper in
between my two feet. Yes, exactly.

141
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.000
Wait, so well, thank you
for saving the camera, Tan,

142
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.159
But Jim, what like what's the
problem? Like? We're looking it up?

143
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.879
I tried looking up on several threads. But the thing I want to

144
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.039
update folks on is for no reason, I've used the same card, official

145
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.759
batteries, high speed SD card and
everything, and I bumped it down to

146
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.080
in eighty even even though I'm supposed
to be able to shoot in four k

147
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.519
U took it out this weekend because
there was a little quirky convention. Yeah,

148
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.639
out in like the heat. Yeah, completely fine. It sounds like

149
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.919
it sounds like I'm gonna say,
like some sort of power connection issue,

150
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.679
Like it's a hardware thing. It's
gonna be It's not just gonna restart for

151
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.240
no reason and then work. Fine. Did you take a picture of a

152
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.399
ghost? Is the camera haunted?
Now? I mean we saw Mike Manadian

153
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.559
You know that man is always haunted
us. I will say, I will

154
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.360
say Jan was like trying everything in
front of us, like it was bizarre.

155
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.799
It might just be the battery connection, you know not, I don't

156
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.919
know. Have them replaced it.
They're good with that. But what I

157
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.840
was was gonna get to is like, Man, sometimes I think I'm just

158
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.919
gonna use a fucking phone. I'm
just gonna buy a burner phone, you

159
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.360
know, by a burner. I
don't anyone do that. Maybe, like

160
00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:00.240
I saw, I have the latest
and greatest Apple phone. Wow, real

161
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:05.320
cool, easily easily easily the worst
camera I have ever used it in my

162
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.399
life. Continue Apple, if there's
anything that you can definitely guarantee and bet

163
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.639
on for Apple they'll give you the
shittiest camera possible. My previous phone.

164
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.039
My previous phone. The camera was
so bad that I went into an Apple

165
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.919
store and I was like, take
a picture of this camera and tell me

166
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.080
what you see. And they took
a picture, and I was like,

167
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.559
take your phone out and take a
picture. And they took a picture and

168
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.480
they looked at both of you and
they were like, yeah, your camera

169
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:31.879
looks fucked. And I was like, why is it like this? And

170
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.240
they were like, I don't really
know. Let's run a bunch of tests.

171
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.279
They ran a bunch of tests and
they were like, everything seems to

172
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.360
be fine. I think the camera's
just bad. And I was like,

173
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.679
okay, cool, what can you
do about that? And he looked in

174
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.799
my eyes smiled and said nothing.
What you think because you think that might

175
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.919
have been because you're so fucking mean
to them. No, I think it's

176
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.600
because Apple is a racist company.
Oh well, I mean, come on,

177
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.240
and it trickles down to every everyone
down to the genius bar that.

178
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.080
Yeah, I don't think actually the
problem, I will say. The man

179
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.759
was eventually like very apologetic and was
like, I'm really sorry that we can't

180
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.600
do anything about this. And I
was like, fair play. It's not

181
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.360
your fault. I do have a
bunch of Apple products that do work,

182
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.440
but the cameras are like shite.
I think. I think what has happened

183
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.080
is based on my research. Is
their hardware is good, yes, but

184
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.240
then they layer on software, camera
software, post processing, this kind of

185
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.639
other stuff that turns it into the
dogshittest camera on market. So I bought

186
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:41.000
a expensive, separate digital camera to
take pictures, which is inconvenient as fuck.

187
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.879
I'd love how Apple companies. This
company started with bringing convenience to like

188
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.080
the mobile phone environment, and now
they're the most infuryingly inconvenient hardware devices to

189
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:58.000
use, especially with cameras. I'm
not gonna lie, I'm kind of loving

190
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.039
this. I'm down. Over all, our camera, all our phones are

191
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.480
are good cameras like that. That's
about what they do, and that's it.

192
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.559
The inverse is true with those phones, though, are like the camera

193
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:16.360
hardware is arguably inferior, but the
camera processing software so much better, and

194
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.120
the phones are I think, just
more fun to use. But that's,

195
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.360
you know, a preference thing.
So I don't think I've had fun using

196
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.360
a phone in like five years.
But well that's why I'm thinking about getting

197
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.399
like a burner Experia phone, you
know, just to like shoot slog on

198
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.759
a phone, because that sounds hilarious. That that's hilarious. That is crazy.

199
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.840
Why would you Why wouldn't you just
get a good camera instead of a

200
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.879
burner phone? Because damn the the
other issue I ran into. I am

201
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.759
sick. Yes, uh, it's
just I fucking I. I waited months

202
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.039
for this camera bag to come into
back into stock. Hate it. I

203
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.480
waited so long for this camera.
I hate it. See I have the

204
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.399
FX three and I love it.
So there's I think it's I think you

205
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.320
got a lemon. I would really
get on the horn with mister Sony and

206
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.679
be like, yo, like you
have something right about this RMA. My

207
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.879
shit, let's go. I think
you should give a swap it for a

208
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.600
new one, and if it still
sucks, just be like, Yo,

209
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.440
this camera sucks, man, and
then just get refund. I'm getting different.

210
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.320
I I bought a I bought a
Lumix. Yeah those are good.

211
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.840
Yeah, it's great, wonderful.
I love it. Uh yeah, Paul

212
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
Graham, let me tell you that
is a point of mild frustration for some

213
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:52.320
people. Uh oh right, let's
talk about video games, all right,

214
00:15:52.559 --> 00:16:00.000
tam you are you are more missed
the worldwide than actual pit Bull Darli exactly

215
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:08.039
because you you you can't stop,
can't stop, won't stop stop residencies all

216
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:15.039
over the place. Because you recently
went to Los Angeles to check out the

217
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:22.000
City of Angles. City of Angles, so many sharp angles every block,

218
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.879
there's a ninety degrees. It's wild. But you checked out for a little

219
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.919
bit nineteen inches of Venom and Marvels
Spider Man two. I got all up

220
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.639
in those nineteen inches babies at the
subtile. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

221
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.240
that's what it is. Yeah.
So I went to LA to check out

222
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:51.879
the first playable demo that I've ever
seen anyone have of Marvel's Avengers. Weird

223
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.799
thing was I forgot that that we
used to have events like this where went

224
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.000
to a place and it was like
really cool old they had set up.

225
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.559
I don't want to talk about,
you know, the stuff outside of the

226
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.039
game, but it's only no way
betwe me because of how weird it was

227
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.759
being there. It was like there
was a nice space that they had decorated

228
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.799
and made to look like it was
you know, doctor Kirk Konnis's lab and

229
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.759
and like cool and little museum.
Stop. No, what you say,

230
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.359
bacalar. I think they just got
Disney brain, because whence the last time

231
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:32.279
they did this for a game,
for one of their games Insomniac that that

232
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.920
E three like getting shuffled from one
thing to the next, things decorated like

233
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:42.519
that is a smart different thing.
Oh my gosh, it was also very

234
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.240
cool. Now it was not because
we were being herded like sheep and cattle

235
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.799
and it was very close quarters.
Would have been different if you knew Grub

236
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.160
and Manati at the time. Oh
yes, we would have. Obviously,

237
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.319
it would have made it more tolerable. I mean I was with my good

238
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.319
friend producer Mark, but like you
could have enjoyed the moment that what's his

239
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:08.960
name? Who's the director of the
director of non Charted? But the other

240
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:17.000
one you've been there when his eyes
really hard me and Mike when we were

241
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:21.000
introducing how you Jeff Grubb, who
works in the video game industry, forget

242
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.799
both Lost of Us and Neil Truckman. Yeah, pretty easily. I have

243
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.279
a bad brain. It's just shi
brain. I've got a pretty bad brain

244
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:32.440
as well. But still, but
you understand the difference between like walking into

245
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.119
a place with a cool Spider Man
statue, and then what the fuck was

246
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.279
E three twenty eighteen. I'll tell
you what I remember about that. E

247
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.480
three mostly is like walking around in
the decorated New York Spider Man setting.

248
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.480
That's what I remember. I do
remember being shuffled around. I'm just like,

249
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.920
man, this is this is what
they do, this is these companies

250
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.799
are so weird whatever. And then
I got outside and it's like, oh,

251
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.880
look there's a Daily Bugle or whatever
the hell it's called and all that

252
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.880
stuff. And that that was coold. Tell me about the Spider Man.

253
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:07.680
I need to know both Spider Man
there like they had They had Miles and

254
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.720
Peter like side by side, and
it was really cool and I took a

255
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.640
picture over them and I was like, I probably won't post this anywhere anyway.

256
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.480
And then we played the game.
So we played about two ish hours

257
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.640
of the game. They just threw
us into the middle of the game,

258
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:30.039
which was good and not not bad, but like tricky because obviously we I

259
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.039
didn't we didn't have a lot of
like context for some things. But they

260
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.759
were like, okay, we'll tell
you the necessary bits and pieces, so

261
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.480
you should be good. So they
did good. Good on them for providing

262
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.559
that, but yeah, it's it's
really weird. So I wrote a preview,

263
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.720
kind of pseudo preview up. It
was more of like a kind of

264
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.119
quick crash course in on the swinging
and that kind of stuff, and then

265
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.279
I pushed to a video that me
and Lucy did, but as part of

266
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.559
the preview, I said, like, this is more of the same,

267
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:02.039
and there's no way for that to
not come out negative. So I had

268
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.079
to like kind of remind everyone in
that preview when I say more of the

269
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.640
same, what I'm saying is more
of one of the best superhero games ever

270
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.279
made, Like two of the best
superhero games ever made. If you talk

271
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:18.599
about Spider Man, Marvel's so Many
Spider Man and Mars Morales, and that

272
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.720
is like something to be excited about
as opposed to being like, oh no,

273
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.680
he was doing the same shit.
Yeah, exactly, because you will

274
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.799
make it, make the swinging worse, Like that's how you change it.

275
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.720
While we're talking about this, there's
some freaks online that I keep seeing and

276
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.759
they're like, wow, same animations, And I would like to like to

277
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.640
ask them, when you wake up
in the morning, do you do you

278
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.400
have a new way of walking to
work every day today. I'm going to

279
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:49.119
trust new things out with my step
I love the idea of these absolute freaks

280
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.799
being like I cannot believe he swings
the exact same way. Yeah, he's

281
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.039
Spider Man, he does. This
is how he does his swinging. Okay,

282
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:02.920
he doesn't invent new ways of swinging
every day, so that doesn't make

283
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.000
fun of him. Yeah, yeah, they should keep it. Funnily enough,

284
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.440
he doesn't sing swinging exactly the same
way. They're like, there's a

285
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.640
there's there's a little more to it. Like on Peter side, he's now

286
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:18.680
the part where we played he has
the symbiot suit, so his swinging is

287
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.079
different in terms of how he's animated. He's it's a little more like it

288
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.799
feels less kind of finessed, if
you know what I mean, which makes

289
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.079
sense because he's got the symbiot suit
and he doesn't need to worry about that

290
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.759
ship. He's just like stomping his
way through it. But he does have

291
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.640
like when you if you switch over
to like the black suit or one of

292
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.440
his other suits, he does have
a little more of that Miles kind of

293
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.160
personality and flair from Miles moralest where
you know, when you started swinging at

294
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.440
Miles, he was my man was
doing poets and backflips and cool thick ship

295
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.240
and he's got a bit more of
that now. And they also all have

296
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.160
they both have studs before. I
gonna jump around a bit, but like

297
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.720
they have skill trees. There's a
Mile skill tree, there's a skill tree,

298
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.000
and then there's a shared skill tree
away. If you're unlock an ability

299
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.640
on that skill tree, both spider
men get it and on the on those

300
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.400
some of those are traversal abilities.
I think I believe one of them is,

301
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.960
like so one of my favorite ones
is you can like like pinball yourself

302
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.640
off two buildings almost like yeah,
you heard me. You can like you

303
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.359
do the thing where you fire on
one side of the street, fire on

304
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.920
the other side of the street,
and then run back and use their attention

305
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.920
to kind of launch yourself a bit. And it's like really cool. It's

306
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.519
it's cool. It doesn't give you
a lot of height, it gives you

307
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.680
a lot of like distance, and
I think it works with the new traversal

308
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:47.799
element, which is the wingsuit.
So spider wings, wing wings, whatever

309
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.400
you want to call them, web
wings. I think where they officially calling

310
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.759
so he so he's just gonna be
like a flying squirrel kind of situation.

311
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.759
Yes, yes, so you can
basically fly like in this game non stop

312
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.000
if you want. How and I
know what you're thinking, You're like wild,

313
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.079
I swing, you fly, yeah, just like a spider, right,

314
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:06.720
yeah, yeah, exactly. So
initially I did feel like, why

315
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.839
am I swinging instead of flying it
everywhere? And I also spoke to I

316
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:14.839
think it was a lead programmer as
part of an interview and talked about it

317
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.920
there, and yes, you can
fly a lot, and there's also things

318
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.240
now in the environment. They try
to make it like I'm going to use

319
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.839
Arkham Night to a degree, you
know how an Arkham Night when activity started

320
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.599
appearing in the world instead of just
being like on a map, they started

321
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.880
doing that a bit more, which
is cool. But you can also find

322
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:40.119
these like wind tunnels everywhere, which
in your night exactly like Fortnite video game

323
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:45.359
Forna. Now, so if you
like pull out your web web wings and

324
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.599
you go into these kind of like
air pocket canal tunnels, it will just

325
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.720
kind of like glide you around places. However, outside of that, the

326
00:23:52.920 --> 00:24:00.319
wings are quite slow, like they're
good for distance, But they are meant

327
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.480
to be used as part of the
overall traversal ecosystem, where it's like swing,

328
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.359
use the dive and then to kind
of like build up momentum and then

329
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:14.039
swing last minute to send yourself launching
back up into the air and then do

330
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.400
the wings to glide a bit or
turn a corner and then your ultimate and

331
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.240
have the music going on techtok and
get exactly a thousand viewers. So Tim,

332
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.799
you're not so so you had experience
with using that? Did that break

333
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:33.079
the illusion of Spider Man for you? Like you very quickly learned that it's

334
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.200
way quicker to swing everywhere? Right, Okay, I think that the reason

335
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.759
they introduced it is one it's a
nice little touch to the area that you're

336
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.960
playing is much bigger. They added
two more burrows to the game skyscrapers,

337
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.680
right, they don't have skyscrapers.
Remember in the last game or games where

338
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.920
you'd be swinging and then you exit
like the perimeter of the city and suddenly

339
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.720
you're over a park and there's nothing
to swing onto it on a tree.

340
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.759
Yeah yeah, so you're just point
launching across this kind of a park or

341
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.680
over some water or something. Like
that. This is basically the solution to

342
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:07.880
that. Where the moment you like
you spin out, like or you launch

343
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.960
yourself off a building and there's nothing
around you, you hit the wing button,

344
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.160
you glide over it, and maybe
you spot a point launch area in

345
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.720
the middle, and you can use
that to give yourself a little more momentum.

346
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.119
It's actually very very smart in a
lot of ways. I also found

347
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:23.960
it. I also found it like
there's times when you're like swinging and you're

348
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.680
chasing someone or something like that,
and you can very easily start to get

349
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.359
out of control where you're like,
you know how you're You're like, I'm

350
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.359
trying to turn this way, but
it's going this way, and like you

351
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:33.599
have these situations where it's like god, damn it, I'm trying to catch

352
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.880
this and it's it's all like falling
apart. It's very easy to just hit

353
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.359
the wing soup button and regain some
control, kind of tilt yourself up,

354
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.799
and then go back to swing it
again to like kind of like course correct.

355
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.319
So it felt it felt good.
It felt really really good. And

356
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:53.759
it also they work it into like
the fast travel system and all that kind

357
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.519
of business where you've probably seen the
gift now where it's like you can basically

358
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:02.440
fast travel at any point and you
can swap to one of you can swap

359
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.720
through the other Spider Man, and
it will like do the GTA thing,

360
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:11.279
pull out and move to them and
they they often will be mid wingsuit flight

361
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.039
or like mid wings or swing or
something like that, which is really cool

362
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.839
and so like it's got like nice
little animation touches to help it kind of

363
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.640
create a smoother experience overall. But
yeah, that part of it's really cool.

364
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.440
I really enjoy the traversal. I
mentioned that as a kind of big

365
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.960
emphasis because I think a lot of
people if they're like the way I am

366
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.839
with Spider Man always, I do
it for Batman way more. But like

367
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.440
for Spider Man, I know there's
a lot of people that even when they

368
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.200
finished with the game, they just
leave it installed on there because every now

369
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.880
and again they jump in, swing
about for a bit, have a nice

370
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.200
time, and be done with it. I feel like this is a really

371
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.440
fun game. It's going to be
a really fun game to just swing about

372
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.119
once you're done. I imagine people
are just going to have a really great

373
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:57.000
time just smoving around. Spider Man
took that spot from Tony Hawk for me,

374
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:02.759
where like I just left stall and
like instead of just jamming out a

375
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.920
level or just finding a combo or
just swing around New York. It's happy

376
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.680
to hear. Okay, yeah,
it's it's cool. And then the other

377
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:15.440
major things are so narratively, I
don't want to talk too much about it.

378
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.319
Okay. Then I have one question. Then, at any point was

379
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:23.960
there a subway sequence where Peter was
knocked out by doc oc and then they

380
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.119
had to pass him back to the
end of the train, And then one

381
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:33.119
NPC just said, it's just a
boar. No, no, if they

382
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.240
you just want to see that he
as a man, although they see it

383
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.319
every day. It's why very very
happy to tell you they don't have that

384
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:47.839
with Peter. They do have it
with Miles. Basically create that scene from

385
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:51.799
the second movie. It's in an
office building and like they lift him up

386
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:55.400
and they move him over to the
end and then then his mosque is all

387
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.359
ripped up and they're like, he's
just a boy. Now I don't believe

388
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:04.079
you. Yeah, I made that
of course, man, listen. That's

389
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.559
so here's my question, Tim,
if you'll allow me to just surface this

390
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:14.039
here, I really like these games. I really like Morales because I felt

391
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:19.799
it was like a streamlined, almost
watered down thing where like you weren't bombarded

392
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.720
with Matt Barf and all this other
stuff, and I want to know,

393
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.200
like how it compares to that idea. I also want to know how it

394
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.279
compares from the combat perspective, because
I found myself being handcuffed a lot by

395
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:36.319
like there are being too many things
you could possibly do with all your arsenal

396
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.519
of moves and whatnot, and kind
of just fell into a groove of like

397
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:44.240
relying on the same maybe three to
four things over and over again. I

398
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.519
know that's a tough thing to like
maybe speak to in the time you had

399
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.400
it, But what do you think
about all that? Yeah, So the

400
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.240
first part of that, in terms
of like the scale and scope of it

401
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.240
hard to say, because obviously we
had a very limited slice of the game.

402
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.559
I will say, based on the
feeling I've got, it's not going

403
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.200
to be. Obviously it's not going
to be as contained as Miles was.

404
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.519
That was a They treated it like
almost like it was an extra game,

405
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.680
but it was also a bit of
an expansion, you know, more focused.

406
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.400
This is trying to tell a much
bigger story at the ambition narratively means

407
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.720
that by its very nature, it's
going to be a bigger game and a

408
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:23.039
little more unwieldy from a narrative perspective. Even now, you just look at

409
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.559
everyone involved. You've got Miles,
You've got Peter. They both have their

410
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.039
own issues going on. Right now, Miles is having a bit of a

411
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:34.759
crisis of confidence because he's writing his
final essay before it goes after university,

412
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:40.559
and at the same time, he's
in this situation where he's being forced through

413
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:45.440
his life to really think about where
he's going, and he's escaping that by

414
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.640
being a Spider Man, and he's
kind of fixated on the idea that Martin

415
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:53.680
Lee missed the negative from the first
game, who was boilers for the first

416
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:59.079
game of Spider Man, who is
responsible for the death of his father is

417
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:03.359
out there. He's becoming a bit
of a obsessive about catching his father's killer,

418
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.839
which obviously you know that it can
have like a corrupting impact on him.

419
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.440
And the problem he's having on top
of that is like his mentor,

420
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.519
Peter Parker is now he has this
new suit which is doing weird things and

421
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.440
making him behave in different ways.
But Peter is he's rediscovered Harry Osborne,

422
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:26.759
his closest friend and basically the closest
thing he has to family because spoilers for

423
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:33.359
the first game, Aunt May is
not around much anymore. So like now,

424
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.440
Peter's kind of also having a bit
of a crisis of personality and confidence

425
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.839
because he's desperate to save his friend
from an illness that he has, and

426
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:48.119
he has the Symbia suit, which
the Symbiate suit is very good at twisting

427
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.359
and amplifying the worst parts of you, so he's doing that. And then

428
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.440
you have Craven the Hunter, who's
around as well, and Craven's obviously looking

429
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:02.839
boy his hunt and he's found now
this giant lizard that is knocking about every

430
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:07.400
now and then, and also a
seemingly alien spider figure symbia thing, so

431
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.240
it's there's a lot of ingredients in
this mix. And then you add in

432
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:17.920
people like Rio Moralist and Gyanke and
all these other side characters who have their

433
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:19.799
own kind of things going on and
how they intersect, and you've got a

434
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:25.799
quite an elaborate story that is exciting, but it's definitely not going to be

435
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.960
as focused as Miles is, but
I'm also like, we don't even know

436
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:36.440
who Venom is yet, Like they
Eddie Brock isn't about Flash Thompson's not about

437
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:40.960
Like there is there, but they
keep showing off a Venom who isn't Peter

438
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.759
or Miles. So I mean there's
some obvious guesses. Yeah, it's there

439
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.279
a reason to think it's not Harry
Osbourne because it wasn't that the Tea is

440
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:49.319
at the end of the first game. I mean it could be, but

441
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:55.720
like there could be many like also, like the Symbia has been like other

442
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:00.359
people as well, Like I,
if I had to bet, I I

443
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:04.279
think he would probably end up being
Craven. But like because that's something that

444
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:08.400
that they I don't believe Craven's been
the Symbia before, and I think that

445
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:14.440
is in the same way that Insomnia, who wanted to mess with our expectations

446
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.079
of a dock X story in the
previous game, I think this is a

447
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:22.599
good opportunity for them to mess with, you know, the expectations for a

448
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.920
Craven and Symbiat story by being like, oh, you've never seen Craven the

449
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.519
Hunter as a symbiat, so her
he is, and how they Yeah,

450
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:36.160
Jay Jonah Jamison, I would I
wouldn't love that. I would love that.

451
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.720
That would be so good. Yeah, So that's that part of it.

452
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:45.119
In terms of the combat part of
it, there is a lot going

453
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:46.599
on in it, and I think
in this game there's more going on in

454
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:53.079
it. So it can feel a
bit overwhelming at times because the combat hasn't

455
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:58.039
changed much. It's still the same
way that it was previously, like the

456
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.559
Batman style combat counter systems. You've
got a little more mobility because you can

457
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.920
web swing and that kind of stuff, but now there's like an extra layer

458
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.359
of special abilities so on top of
the standard so every both of them have

459
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:15.559
two kind of ability pools. The
first one is linked to their unique like

460
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:21.839
spider powers. For Miles, it's
his bioelectricity stuff that we had in the

461
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.240
previous game. And then on top
of that, he's got the tech,

462
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:30.440
so he's got a technology element.
The technology element is more about manipulating the

463
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:34.759
environment or like the enemies in the
environment and doing AoE stuff. So you'll

464
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.759
use tech to be like I'm going
to stun everyone that's going to chain or

465
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:39.519
I'm going to use this thing to
launch everyone into the air and then his

466
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.920
bioelectricity stuff is where you get the
most mileage out of his powers, whereas

467
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.519
you know, like doing damage to
single people, like propelling yourself across the

468
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.640
kind of arena using his bioelectricity stuff. That the cool power stuff that he

469
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:57.880
has. In the similar fashion,
Pete has the similarly functioning technology side,

470
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.440
but then on top of that he
has his symbia and empowers. So a

471
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:07.079
lot of that stuff is the kind
of the replacement for his spider abilities,

472
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.760
and it's what distinguishes him from Miles, which is I think is a really

473
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:14.920
good move. His symbia abilities are
much harder hitting and they're designed to do

474
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.159
like max destruction almost. It reminds
me of Prototype from the Trailers I seen.

475
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.719
Yeah, Yeah, it's like the
symbia is not about finesse, it's

476
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.760
not about precision. It's about doing
damage and it's about being aggressive, and

477
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:30.760
that's what it does. It like
you hit a button and it'll send out

478
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:34.760
spindles, grab everyone, lift them
into the air and slam them to the

479
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.800
ground. It'll do their Marble versus
capcom thing, Whereas like you press a

480
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:45.400
button and he'll like become this moving
pool of like horrible symbiate liquid and gather

481
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.679
everyone else up and then pop them
into the air, and then you can

482
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:52.599
like jump up there and do some
damage. So those two exist, and

483
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.840
everything's also like on a cool down, and then you have different abilities that

484
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:01.000
you can like quick slot in and
there's different abilities that you're unlock through skill

485
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:07.920
trees, so it can quickly become
overwhelming, but there's enough in there for

486
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.599
you to, I think, look
at what you like, establish a style,

487
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:14.239
and just stick to it. Okay, what I mean by that is

488
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.880
like in the previous games is similarly
like it is. There's a lot to

489
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:21.440
do, but for me, I
knew my focus was going to be launching

490
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:25.000
and then immediately just like air web
swing and air combos because that is the

491
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.320
way I wanted to do damage.
So you can unlock everything and have that

492
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.000
overwhelming amount of stuff, but then
just look at this is what I like,

493
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:36.320
This is what I need to pin
to basically into my memory to get

494
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.360
the place that I want and focus
on that, and it's more of more

495
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.880
optional. Then you need to do
this stuff. There are a couple of

496
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:46.559
things that are knew that are definitely
need and you have to do them,

497
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:51.760
which is one they have a new
counter system. Everyone loves Securo. They

498
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:57.480
have the secular account through so they
have the thing where certain enemies will these

499
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.480
do these attacks that the only thing
you can do is out with them.

500
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:02.960
I believe I only did it with
Peter, so I'm not sure what the

501
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.199
animation would be with Miles. I
imagine this bioelectric related. But with Peter

502
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:10.480
it's like he's not doing a finesse
counter. He's just like tanking the damage

503
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.000
and then lashing out with the symbiot, so like pushing back on it.

504
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.119
And there's other attacks which are crushing
attacks which are you cannot count them.

505
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:22.760
You just need to get out of
the way. So those are like the

506
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:27.360
symbol attacks in secure, which is
like unblockable. The issue with all this

507
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:31.960
is on paper, all works fine, great, the readability of it is

508
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:40.480
not great. There's like overlapping kind
of signifiers of what's coming, and it

509
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:46.239
becomes very very very messy at times
because, for example, an attack that

510
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:51.199
uned count is read, but so
is an attack that is a projectile from

511
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:53.360
an enemy that's far away. So
you'll have the projectilebeam coming at you.

512
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:57.679
It's read and you know it's coming
from off screen. You don't really know.

513
00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:00.239
It's very easy to dodge. You
just hit a button at the right

514
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.960
time and you move out the way, but it requires one too many It

515
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.559
rides an extra second of processing that
is a bit annoying. And it's also

516
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.760
like red is the counter attack,
which you can counter. Blue is the

517
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.559
crushing attack which you can't counter,
which doesn't make any sense to me.

518
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:20.559
It's like blue is like a nice
color. You know, this is a

519
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:24.079
nice you can collect this or be
cool with this, but they want you

520
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:28.119
to get out of it. Blue
is somehow more of a danger than red.

521
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:30.559
And it's like confusing in certain ways, Like you get to it.

522
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:34.880
Eventually, you'll build the flow of
it and you'll build the muscle memory.

523
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:39.360
But right now it just feels like
a bit too much going on for a

524
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.000
lot of people. It could be
I don't want to speak for everyone.

525
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:46.679
But like on top of that,
there's like other issues with it that the

526
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:50.679
enemy. There's more enemies at the
same time, and they're all coming after

527
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.679
you, and it gets very busy, to the point where I found myself

528
00:37:54.280 --> 00:38:00.760
satisfied by what I was doing,
but not able to see and enjoy the

529
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:06.280
animations of it. Yeah, because
like Batman's great because you have certain enemies

530
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:07.320
come at you. They're all kind
of scared of him, so they come

531
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:12.239
one at one at a time,
and his animations are kind of like sharp

532
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.719
and almost slower, where it's like
he's going to crack your crack your arm,

533
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:17.480
throw you on the ground, get
on top, and then punch you.

534
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:21.760
And you can see every phase of
that, and every part of it

535
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:25.360
feels like a crunchy Batman esque moment. Spider Man is all about being limber

536
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:30.239
and moving around and you want to
see him like pirouetting and dodging and doing

537
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:34.800
all these punch motions. And I
don't feel like I got to enjoy that

538
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:38.199
as much because there's like shit flashing
and there's characters all over the screen and

539
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:40.719
that kind of stuff, which is
a shame. But at the same time,

540
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:44.719
it still felt good, like it
still felt like a Spider Man game,

541
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.599
and it felt quite It felt really
satisfying to move around and use his

542
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:51.159
powers and symbia and that kind of
stuff. So the combat is good,

543
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.079
readability is not great, and that
readability extends to other parts of it.

544
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:59.760
Something that Lucy pointed out after we
finished is like the text doesn't delineate very

545
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.760
well between who is speaking. It
just like says Spider Man, and there's

546
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:07.199
sometimes two Spider Man speaking, and
then you have to look really close and

547
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.920
there's a very small face icon,
like you get the red and blue one

548
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:14.920
and it's Peter. You get the
red and black one and it's mild.

549
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.880
But it's like, at a glance, is very very difficult to tell.

550
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:23.599
I obviously can hear fine, and
I am able to process that information easily.

551
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:29.159
But some people who may have additional
accessibility needs might have some issues with

552
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.159
that, because you know, they're
looking at this tiny little thing from afar.

553
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:36.119
If you have any sort of visual
issues, auditory issues, it could

554
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.159
be a bit annoying for you.
I don't know the full extent of the

555
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:42.400
accessibility features that are available in this
game, yet they did say that they're

556
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.639
working on a bunch of implementing and
tweaking it, So my hope is like

557
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:49.119
and then suddenly actings only they're always
on top of this stuff pretty well,

558
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:51.599
So my hope is by the time
it comes out, it will be taken

559
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:53.360
care of. Maybe you can even
increase the font size or the icon size

560
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:58.840
or whatever it may be. But
yeah, there's like a general readability issue

561
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:02.920
that I struggled with, So I
imagine that people who have more accessibility needs

562
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.559
might as well. But otherwise,
I I honestly like, I'm very it's

563
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:12.679
weird too, you know, as
people who cover games, when we approach

564
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.920
previews, will always take the tact
of never make a final judgment on the

565
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.639
game. That's why whenever you read
a preview or hear a preview, you'll

566
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.559
see everyone talking about everything like we
had a limited slice of the game,

567
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:25.320
so this is based on what we
were shown there obviously not representative, but

568
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:29.239
we try and like almost tell the
line or sit on the fence about whether

569
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:31.679
it's going to be good or good
or bad. I mean, like I'm

570
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:35.679
not too worried. I feel okay
about it, saying like this is probably

571
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:37.840
going to be a very good game, like it is. It is very

572
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.760
it's like too big to fail.
If they build on the original games,

573
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.239
it's hard to imagine how they could
screw it up to the point where the

574
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:49.960
sucks. Now if it even if
it is like okay, it's going to

575
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:53.119
sell a bajillion copies and it will
be fine, just just by virtue of

576
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:58.840
like, yeah, there's enough time
in between arounds and now I could use

577
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:04.840
this could be carbon copy and they
would still be fine or hungry for something

578
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.519
to play. Yeah. Yeah,
it will be the biggest. It would

579
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:09.320
be one of the top selling PS
five games by the time this generation has

580
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:13.079
done, if not by the end
of next year, it will be like

581
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.800
a smash hit whatever. But it's
important also to say, like, it

582
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:19.800
looks like a quality game. It
looks like a very well made game.

583
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.079
It looks like it's a game made
by Spider Man fans who are excited to

584
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:29.719
be making a Spider Man game.
Ultimately, I'm excited to play it as

585
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:34.159
someone who is very much like burned
out on the MCU. I still love

586
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.960
Spider Man, I still love Marvel, and I still love comics, but

587
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:45.320
that like Marvel on a TV and
on movies is like absolutely dropping the ball

588
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:46.400
for me. I don't know what
the fuck they're doing. All of this

589
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:52.480
seems to suck straight booty, but
like, but like, this is an

590
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:53.840
instance where I was like, oh, yeah, I do like this stuff.

591
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:58.079
I just needed to be done well, and it looks like it's going

592
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.559
to be done well. I I
want that feeling too, tam, So

593
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.599
I can't wait for Spider Marvel Spider
Man two. While we still have you

594
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:09.719
here, buddy, I think you'd
be happy to learn that I've been very

595
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:15.519
invested and really into I know what
you're gonna say, lies of P.

596
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:20.079
Hell, yeah, Tam, I
don't know what it is. Like.

597
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.519
I of course was interested in elden
Ring because the zeitgeist was there. You

598
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.440
were very excited about it. The
whole staff was very excited about it.

599
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:31.079
But I felt like I had to
return to it afterwards, like I got

600
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:36.480
through market, did a couple more
things, and then I dipped. But

601
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.199
lies of P. I haven't been
able to put it down. I don't

602
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:44.960
know. Maybe it's just overall it
because it's not a giant, massive open

603
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.840
world versus something more akin to a
blood Borne where you're just going through different

604
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:53.559
avenues and streets. Or maybe it's
because the Disney poison in my brain is

605
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:59.159
starting to activate and like, oh
cool, Pinocchio. Look it's a geppetto.

606
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.519
But it feels good. I've been
enjoying this a lot, and I

607
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.239
as the on staff expert, how
do you feel about it? So?

608
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:12.480
I think I tweeted about this.
I am a I'm a weird person.

609
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.559
When it comes to souls like so
I generally dislike them, like I feel

610
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:22.079
like I struggle with finding. The
problem I have is when you try and

611
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:27.159
copy from software, I'm gonna defend, not defending, I'm gonna hold you

612
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:29.599
to the standard set by from software. Right. You know, if someone

613
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:32.320
someone comes to the pitchings like I'm
the next steph Curry, and then imaginally

614
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:35.800
you're gonna be like, Okay,
let's see how these these threes go.

615
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:37.400
And if they're not on point,
like, it's gonna be like you your

616
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:39.159
ship, you know, you know, Steff Curry, get out of there.

617
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.320
But that's how I am with a
lot of these games, and especially

618
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:50.639
like I don't consider stuff like Hollow
Night part of that kind of conversation because

619
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:53.920
although I'm not a major fan of
Hollo Night, it's a different kind of

620
00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:58.400
game, you know, it's it's
it takes some of the ideas and transpose

621
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:04.159
it into others. I'm thinking about
stuff like I know everyone loves Neo very

622
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:07.440
well made games. Not for me. I always play them, I play

623
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:12.920
enough to know a lot about them, but they just don't work in the

624
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:15.880
same way as me. Same with
like Wall Long. I really enjoyed well

625
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:17.760
long, but yeah, it was. It was like fine, it was

626
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:22.679
like an easier version of that stuff, like you know, Laws of the

627
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.519
Fallen, the Older one, that
kind of thing, like I don't really

628
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:30.519
vibe with that stuff. This is
the first one I think i'd unequivalently,

629
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:35.960
unequivally recommend. Lisp is one that
I would like thumbs up. This is

630
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:39.119
a great, great game. And
it's not a great game because they looked

631
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:43.360
at what was there on paper,
what was written down, what are the

632
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:46.519
bullet points on making a souls like
and then did that. It's because they

633
00:44:46.760 --> 00:44:52.159
clearly took a holistic and and like
a proper in depth look at and and

634
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:59.719
built an understanding of what makes their
games feel good and and also like have

635
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:04.239
an atmosphere and how it all comes
together. It's not a lot of those

636
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.320
games the other people try and make
it have individual cordoned off elements where it's

637
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:12.119
like we've got a combat system that
is interesting, separately from that, we've

638
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:15.599
got a world separately from that,
we've got a story, separately from that,

639
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:21.440
we've got a vibe. They very
really will coalesce into something interesting,

640
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.159
which is what from Software does better
than anyone else, especially for something like

641
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:30.000
Bloodborn or like Dark Souls three for
example. This is this is a game

642
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:35.840
where you go in there and everything
feels like a piece of a greater puzzle

643
00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:38.000
a picture, and when you start
playing it, you get it. The

644
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:45.000
combat system is very much inspired by
both Blood Born and Secury. It's got

645
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:49.599
the two main mechanics of that,
like the health or recovery system where you

646
00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:52.960
attack back, and then the count
system. The count system is probably the

647
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:57.719
weakest part for me because it just
doesn't feel great and every enemy does that

648
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.880
thing where they pause one second way
too and it feels unnatural. Yeah,

649
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:06.719
the window for to get the perry
correctly, I'm still trying to figure it

650
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:10.239
out. When you you're going against
like a bigger enemy or a boss,

651
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:15.920
and you you correctly time the perry, there's like red sparks that fly off

652
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:19.400
and then eventually their health meter will
will turn white, and then you have

653
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:22.599
to do like a charge strong attack
to get them to do the like the

654
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:29.599
R one vulnerable big big staff.
I think that's been That and the dodge

655
00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:34.320
roll have probably been my two biggest
issues with the game, despite really enjoying

656
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.199
it, is that I feel like
I'm nailing the rhythm of the timing.

657
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:42.199
But it's that little bit of pause
that you mentioned Tam that like throws me

658
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:46.000
off of it. Yeah, it's
a very it feels like it's not designed

659
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:50.960
to challenge. It's designed to trick, yes, which is the main thing.

660
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:54.679
It's like once you once you notice
it and you kind of a few

661
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:58.320
times give it a go. Most
times in a from software game, there

662
00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:00.159
are enemies that will do like an
anime and that looks like it's coming and

663
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:04.800
then make it, you know,
slow down a little bit or do something

664
00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:07.119
else. You kind of eventually caught
on on twit and then you're like,

665
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.679
oh, get this, I'm gonna
I'm gonna figure this out and then you're

666
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:14.079
good with this game. You it
never feels right. You never feel like

667
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.079
you get there and you understand it. You just kind of like, I've

668
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:22.239
never learned the parry timing of an
enemy and then felt like I grew from

669
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.599
learning it. I felt like I
got lucky a bunch of times. And

670
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.320
then the next time I find that
enemy, I'm just like, I clearly

671
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:34.320
didn't learn anything, because it feels
off again, and part of it is

672
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:38.880
like the timing on the enemies animations
and it's also kind of the timing on

673
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:45.960
PA's kind of counter animation. It's
security. It's almost instant, like his

674
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:49.000
sword is up and it's there.
It's like almost a one frame style thing.

675
00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:52.519
It isn't like it feels like that
or as there's a few a little

676
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:57.079
more animating to pee when he does
it, and it's unclear what the window

677
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:02.599
is of like active counter frames.
So it's Nevertheless, it's not something that

678
00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:07.880
you have to rely on. You
can get around counter stuff just by being

679
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:12.119
smart with you know, your movement
and dodging and that kind of stuff you

680
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.599
have to pay attention to obviously,
like the the iframes in your dodge because

681
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:20.679
it's a little trickier than and as
not as obvious, but it's still doable.

682
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:23.960
You can also quickly upgrade your dodge
to add like a second one emmelia

683
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:29.679
afterwards. Yeah, they introduced that
pretty early. Yeah, it's it's as

684
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:31.360
part of it. It's got so
many different systems as well, which is

685
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:35.840
what I love about it, Like
you've got and they're all their own unique

686
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:38.159
ideas like the count. The count
the counter system is great, but it

687
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:44.360
also has account system. Having account
systems great, but on top of having

688
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:47.559
the second rostyle account system, they
have a kind of like a weapon breaking

689
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.280
system, which is really cool.
It's like, if you counter enough and

690
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:53.960
you manage to get it right,
you put the enemy in this like really

691
00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:00.000
vulnerable state where they're struggling. And
then like the weapons. For example,

692
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:02.960
pool you pick up a weapon,
you can dismantle it, and weapons come

693
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:07.079
in two pieces. It's got like
the handle and the actual blade part of

694
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:08.639
it, and you can mix and
match, so you can have, for

695
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:14.599
example, I have like a fire
X with a electricity handle which lets me

696
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:19.800
like tank damage and also do fire
damage. And it's it's weird and wacky.

697
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:25.159
And then you can like upgrade p
himself and like different kind of attributes

698
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.000
to him, like that second dodge
or like improve his health that kind of

699
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:31.800
stuff. And they're talking about the
world is really cool. I like this

700
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:38.480
darker, weirder Gothic take on Pinocchio. You know, Geppetto has made a

701
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:43.079
bunch of these puppets and there's other
lads involved, and now they're suddenly like

702
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:47.239
rampaging. They've been corrupted and they
killed everyone and you are the only Like

703
00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:54.840
there's like a fundament or covenant between
puppets and humans where they cannot disobey or

704
00:49:54.960 --> 00:50:00.119
endanger a human. But obviously Pinocchio
is the exception to that. Rules are

705
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:05.280
lucky. You're out there now trying
to undo Jape's or whoever's involved kind of

706
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:08.679
fuck ups to fix whatever's going on. It's very blood born. It's like

707
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:13.239
people are hiding and you like walk
up to their to their windows and talk

708
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:16.360
to them and that kind of stuff, but they take it some real wacky

709
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:21.440
places. It starts off being fairly
blood borny, but then it starts getting

710
00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:23.079
real weird with it, and it's
like, Okay, you guys went for

711
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:27.760
it. I'm just like really impressed
by it. Yeah, I don't think

712
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:30.239
it's like again, I don't think
it's as good as a from software game,

713
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:37.280
but it's easily my favorite non from
software souls game easily. Yeah,

714
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:39.320
from the ones that I've dipped into. Also, tim that you mentioned earlier,

715
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:46.159
like Wo Kong didn't quite hit or
feel the best, but this one

716
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:52.559
is close to feeling there. I
also like the different puppet arm attachments,

717
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:57.880
similar to like a Securo the Spider
Man grapple one I've wound up using the

718
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:00.679
most in my playtime, so far, they're they're fun. It's fun.

719
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:05.039
Yo. Yeah, it's a good
time. And there's like looks of it

720
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:07.159
will neat touches in there that I
really like, such small things. Like

721
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:10.400
my favorite one and I keep talking
about it and it's so small that it's

722
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:15.840
almost insignificant. Is when you're out
there collecting Ergo, which is their version

723
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:21.360
of souls, and you have enough
to to level up, it changes the

724
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:23.760
color of the counter. So if
it's like one thousand, three hundred,

725
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:27.840
it's white. The moment you get
to one thousand and four hundred and that's

726
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:29.440
what you need to level up,
it goes blue. So you know,

727
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:32.199
it's kind for me to go back, and that's something that like from doesn't

728
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:36.880
do very much. But then there's
also downside where it's like you start off

729
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:38.400
and you can go to the Stargazers, which are their bonfires, and you

730
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:42.559
can level up there, and then
at a certain point it unlocks the Hunter's

731
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:47.599
Dream or the the Workshop version in
this game, and the doll in there,

732
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:51.800
and from then on for a really
long time you can only just level

733
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:53.519
up at her, which is annoying. It's like, yeah, you let

734
00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:57.239
me do this before, Why are
you making me this. I was confused

735
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:01.760
when they that started happening for folks
start the game fresh. I don't remember

736
00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:07.079
this tooltip popping up or this part
being tutorialized. Well, but your weapon

737
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.599
does have kind of a type of
durability to it where you do have to

738
00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:16.000
sharpen it like in a Monster Hunter. I at least don't remember the tooltip

739
00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:20.519
popping off. It does pop up, It's very brief, and there's also

740
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:24.159
an item in your inventory that you
immediately have access to. It's unlimited use.

741
00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:28.719
You basically select it and you hold
X and he's got like a rotating

742
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:30.880
blade on the end of his arm
that he just like puts his weapons and

743
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:37.400
it looks it looks cool as fuck, and it does improve like a bunch

744
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:40.360
of stuff in there, like your
abilities as well. Yeah, it is.

745
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:44.519
That part of it is really really
interesting. I feel like this game

746
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:46.440
would normally scare me, but because
of the lessons that I've learned from you,

747
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:51.719
Tim, I feel mildly invincible and
I don't even get frustrated at bosses

748
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.599
anymore. Yeah it is. I
am really enjoying it, and now it's

749
00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:00.280
surprised it's on game pass, I
believe correctly that's right. I think they

750
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:05.880
put on game Pass yesterday out of
so like it is. Yeah, it's

751
00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:09.280
really like there's no reason to not
give it a goal, I will say

752
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:15.440
if you're playing it, And the
one thing I'll say is like, there's

753
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:19.679
certain builds that feel less viable than
others, and froms games, you have

754
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:22.159
builds that feel less viable, but
it's just because you're doing something wacky with

755
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:25.559
it or start wise, Whereas in
this game, I feel like if you

756
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:31.840
spec into skill I think it is, which is the Dexterity build, the

757
00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:36.800
game is much harder than if you
went into like the Power build, which

758
00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:40.159
is strength build. I would recommend
if you're playing that game, speck into

759
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:45.519
Strength. You can still use a
lot of the coolest moves and like and

760
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:50.199
a lot of interesting ideas and or
like abilities in there. But I from

761
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.880
from the little I played with that
build and speaking to other people, there's

762
00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:58.119
a point where you kind of hit
a wall and it's because and you'll struggle

763
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:04.519
because you're you you've got that Dex
build. I usually do Dex builds,

764
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:08.199
so I didn't have I think for
people who are very used to having Dexterity

765
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:12.599
builds, which means they need to
be more focused on defense and also being

766
00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:16.679
very very kind of strict about their
damage output. It's probably going to be

767
00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:21.800
fine, but if you aren't used
to that, you should think about.

768
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:23.880
And you don't get a respect option
until fairly late. I think it's like

769
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:30.239
chapter seven or something like that.
You if I recall correctly, you can

770
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:35.880
adjust the weapons with like a different
crank right like to to take better advantage

771
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:39.800
of whichever builds you have. So
yeah, crank it away. It's still

772
00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:45.920
very viable. I'm just saying like
it is an additional slight layer of difficulty,

773
00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:49.760
and there are there are moments where
boss there's like spikes and boss difficult

774
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:53.079
either are kind of weird at times, but and and just having that combination

775
00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:58.239
of a difficulty spike and also a
trickier build might be enough to put you

776
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.800
off. I did think it was
neat that like they were kind of throwing

777
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:04.719
weapons at me from the from the
very beginning of like, oh cool,

778
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:07.599
I wasn't expecting to find another weapon
for another five hours, but yeah,

779
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:10.719
I think I found the same acts
you found him, and yeah, they're

780
00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:17.840
going There's also there's also like a
like a choice system which unfortunately doesn't amount

781
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:21.800
to too much. But it's just
neat that they put it in there so

782
00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:24.159
you can every now and then people
ask Pinocchio questions and you can choose to

783
00:55:24.199 --> 00:55:30.199
lie or not, and that has
an impact on the ending. I believe

784
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:35.280
you get you get three, and
I think it's equivalent of the The Blood

785
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:39.960
Bornes three endings with the umbilical cords, except list like obtuse. But it's

786
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:45.039
not a major difference from what I've
told, what I've been told and read

787
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:47.719
about. So but it's just a
neat little thing where it's like someone to

788
00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:51.199
ask you a question and you have
the ability to lie or tell the truth,

789
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:52.719
and you'd just be like, i'
gonna lie right now. And so

790
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.360
far, no nose growing as far
as I've seen. On the loading screen,

791
00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:00.320
on the loading screen, the loading
bars, there's a big old yeah.

792
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:07.639
They also do this thing where it
says lie or die and like prepared

793
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.159
to lie, which is a nice
It's a twist on the dark souls prepared

794
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:15.159
to die, which I appreciate.
It's like good good ship, you're having

795
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:19.239
fun with it. I'm just like
very impressed with this team. I believe

796
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:24.599
they're called Neo whiz. They're a
Korean team. I'm not sure of anything

797
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:29.519
else that they've done. They're familiar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've

798
00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:31.400
they've done, like I want to
say, I'm not sure. I don't

799
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:37.639
think they've done anything as high profile
as this. Like I googled them earlier,

800
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:42.880
and they have like games someone who
like Brave nine and The Hero Slayer

801
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:45.239
or something like that, which sounds
like very much like forgettable mobile games.

802
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.960
But yeah, there's there's a bunch
of stuff that does not ring any bells,

803
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:52.079
but there is stuff. Yeah,
they have stuff. This is the

804
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:58.079
first thing where I feel like this
is their major breakout moment where I don't

805
00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:00.719
know, I don't know where they
go next. I hope it isn't just

806
00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:06.719
more copying or like trying to do
more of this, because I worry that

807
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:10.519
it's This is like a lightning strikes
once moment where they did something really impressive,

808
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:14.719
and if they try and repeat it, it could be a problem even

809
00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:20.039
from Tens not to stick too closely
to their own games. One to three

810
00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:22.159
are probably the exception. They have
three games in the same series, but

811
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:24.880
each one of those games is unique
in their own different way way. It

812
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:30.519
feels like a separate game connected by
a unified esthetic and idea. They need

813
00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:35.440
to make another souls like game,
but continue adapting weird fairy tales. I

814
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:39.199
suggest take when I need Neo Wiz
to take Winnie the Pooh, knew it

815
00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:45.760
exactly that, and then Winnie the
Pooh like hanging dong, just guzzles down

816
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:51.360
blood instead of honey, you know
who? I like? Okay, I

817
00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:54.199
feel like they should do Sherlock Holmes. Oh that'd be neat. Actually I

818
00:57:54.199 --> 00:58:02.000
would be pretty fucking sick. Really
like the street solving. Yeah, I

819
00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:06.760
felt like if they if they expand
out the choice making element of it a

820
00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:12.639
bit more and like work that into
a Sherlock homestyle system, where is you

821
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.519
know, doing little investigations and if
airly linear, but you can make these

822
00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:19.840
decisions that take you down different branching
paths that eventually take you back to like,

823
00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:24.440
oh, we've solved the crime.
It was this fourheaded demon. I

824
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:28.400
got it. They should They should
do Sherlock Holmes, but do a twist

825
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:32.880
Sherlock g nome. Yeah, oh
just do just do it all like,

826
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.480
dude, do Sherlock Holmes, but
the villain is Winnie the Pooh. I

827
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:43.880
love it. I love it,
combine itblic domain lies of Pooh. I

828
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:49.519
suggested it. I don't know why
I didn't have it there. Dam are

829
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:52.880
you? Are you running up against
our time with you? Sadly? I

830
00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:54.599
am, well, I think,
but I can. I can hang out

831
00:58:54.639 --> 00:58:58.360
for a little bit longer. If
you was going to say we should take

832
00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:01.159
a quick bricky break, we'll finish
off games talk about news. In that

833
00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:04.679
case, I'm out of it all
right, dam any anything you want to

834
00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:07.920
want to say to the folks at
home, any any plugs the Spider Man

835
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:12.159
preview with Lucy that's also yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I

836
00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:15.280
would love to have stayed longer,
but I have a few other things that

837
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:19.760
I need to write up, and
I'm very limited on time. So that's

838
00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:22.639
why I'm bailing on the podcast.
Otherwise I would have stuck around for the

839
00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:28.199
entire thing. I apologize. I
have to work apparently, Tea. Yeah,

840
00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:30.719
I'm actually just gonna go see on
my ass. Well, We'll see

841
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:35.440
you with some more game talk and
some news, because there's a lot of

842
00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:44.320
it today. After this quake breaky
break folks were now joined by our dear

843
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:50.599
friend Bailey Myers. Bailey Something something
was shared with me during the break that

844
00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:54.480
I think is going to haunt me
for the rest of my life. I

845
00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:59.079
thought, honestly, I already I
thought you already knew. I didn't know

846
00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:05.280
this. I I did not purpose
we forgot it, so I knew this.

847
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:16.840
Bailey plays Mario Party. Yeah,
that's her self. Why why Bailey,

848
01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:22.440
I think we're friends now or I
can I can say that I care

849
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:27.159
about your well being? Right?
Why do you do this? Well,

850
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:29.800
it's to keep a demon's dead bay, right, otherwise she would be killing

851
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:35.840
That's the only thing it's by are
you just practicing for when you have to

852
01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:45.719
take on people and market party?
It's clearly worked. I think I think

853
01:00:45.719 --> 01:00:50.320
we can file this under the same
thing of like, I don't know,

854
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:55.079
like these pimple Popper video watching people
like it's very troubling that that's what they're

855
01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:59.719
into. But as long as they're
not hurting anyone and not like pushing the

856
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:02.280
air influence on anyone else, it's
like, all right, go go do

857
01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:05.719
your thing. So I kind of
put that in the same category a little

858
01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:07.519
bit. It's not it, it's
it's more abhorrent. I mean, of

859
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:12.840
course, but yeah, Bailey,
I'm gonna do a poll here where I'm

860
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.119
gonna ask chat if you're a sick
oh or not? Is that okay?

861
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:19.000
Oh, that's gonna work out in
her favor. I'm positive that's fine.

862
01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:23.079
But Bailey, Uh, other than
it being Tuesday and it maybe not being

863
01:01:23.079 --> 01:01:25.840
your busy week, I forget,
Uh, Bailey, we have you on?

864
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:30.880
Okay, fantastic, We have you
on because some something's popping off,

865
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:32.920
something's happy. Yeah. Yeah,
I got a couple of videos out and

866
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:38.400
I wanted to tell everyone about them. So tell everyone all about them.

867
01:01:38.440 --> 01:01:40.760
I will. Well. First of
all, everyone, please watch the newest

868
01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:47.199
honest game trailers for see if stars
Jan's favorite game. Yeah, yep,

869
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:52.079
to see if we needed a few
more weeks to beat Starfield. Uh.

870
01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:58.679
And then also I wrote a new
show that is on game Spot right now.

871
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:04.000
Call that premiered called reality Check.
It's hosted by our dear friend of

872
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.719
the show, I'm a fife who
we all know and love, who the

873
01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:15.920
most persons I am sometimes and not
sometimes. I'm making that that much more

874
01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:22.599
difficult by writing a show for her
where we talk about why we can't fuck

875
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:28.800
non people in Starfield and we're about
it. Oh oh, okay, I

876
01:02:30.519 --> 01:02:32.199
promise you you'll be able to do
all that. Yeah, well I shouldn't.

877
01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:36.440
I shouldn't have to, that's true. Yes, let us walk the

878
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:39.000
alien animals. That's what we need. It's it's just like a deep dive

879
01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:43.840
into niche gaming topics and this is
about like non human romance options. And

880
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:49.480
we worked really hard on it,
and we went to the zoo. Work

881
01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:52.199
really hard at the zoo because I
noticed those were like two separate clauses the

882
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:55.559
way you said it, we did. She worked a little harder than I

883
01:02:55.559 --> 01:02:58.880
did at the zoo. My job
was already done. I was just there

884
01:02:58.920 --> 01:03:02.679
to see the elephants actually filming.
I remember asking if you could be on

885
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:06.440
a upf and you're telling me,
jan no, because I have to go

886
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:10.119
to the fucking zoo tomorrow. It's
great. The Los Angeles Zoo is fantastic,

887
01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:15.639
most successful Komodo dragon breeding program in
the country. Well that's great to

888
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:19.960
me. Yeah, that's what I
learned, all right, That's when I

889
01:03:20.039 --> 01:03:22.760
learned that day. Okay, uh, maybe we'll all buy a zoo together.

890
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:27.599
Afterwards, Well, we'll put put
a fiver in and then we'll figure

891
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:32.199
it out. An aquarium, not
a zoo. To be clear, there's

892
01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:37.039
okay, alright, alright, well
I can't do like a kind of zoo

893
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:46.760
water zoo. I love that water
zook out the zoo. Uh speaking about

894
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:52.039
out the wa Zoo. There's an
obscene amount of video games constantly releasing.

895
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:53.599
You think it's a slow week,
but it's not. Actually not too many.

896
01:03:53.719 --> 01:03:57.480
There's too many, some would say, because I don't believe anyone here

897
01:03:57.559 --> 01:04:00.280
is actually played Mortal Kombat one,
but we do have. Okay, all

898
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:05.440
right, we'll talk about put I
mean, I like, look, look,

899
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:11.480
look, you're gonna get the most
surface level ass version of Mortal Kombat

900
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:16.000
one from me. Okay here,
yeah, Disney World or Mortal Kombat one.

901
01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:20.239
I mean, come on, you
are the talk about the most Apple

902
01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:26.639
and orange is ass comparison in the
history of comparisons. But Disney World,

903
01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:31.159
Okay, No, I really like
Mortal Kombat one. But uh, you

904
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:36.159
know, I'm not a very good
fighting game player, right I But I

905
01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:41.079
my Kombat one like it's pretty or
Mortal Kombat is a serious has been pretty

906
01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:45.159
welcoming to casual audiences for a very
long time. This one seems especially good

907
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:48.000
at that it does. It's very
accommodating. Mortal Kombat three is like my

908
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:54.119
sort of staple where I was the
best I ever was at Mortal Kombat,

909
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:59.480
which you know is only what twenty
five years ago. Quarters. Yeah,

910
01:04:59.519 --> 01:05:01.800
So like I do think, I
do think there's there's an approachability to this

911
01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:05.320
game that I was sort of surprised
in seeing. You know, I'm one

912
01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:08.920
of those people that's like, I
am going to do the tutorial, I

913
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:13.679
am gonna see what the moves are
once and never remember them again or use

914
01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:16.280
them in combat. But I did
see the kind of like rock paper scissors

915
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:19.920
thing that that all I guess all
finding games do have to some degree,

916
01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:26.239
but I'm into it. I think
they're you know again, like these games

917
01:05:26.239 --> 01:05:29.719
are just so polished and they look
so goddamn good. The fatality stuff is

918
01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:33.719
not my thing, but everything else
is pretty great. I already do have

919
01:05:33.840 --> 01:05:38.840
the kind of like fatal blow fatigue
where I'm just like not fucking since I

920
01:05:38.880 --> 01:05:45.920
shouldn't watch head. It's true though, right, like that is a without

921
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:48.440
an out of thing. When they
debuted, yeah, they they when they

922
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:51.760
started doing the X ray stuff right
whenever whatever one that was, maybe it

923
01:05:51.840 --> 01:05:56.480
was nine, nine or ten,
right, I was just like, oh

924
01:05:56.519 --> 01:05:59.480
wow, okay, and now I'm
going to watch this for you know,

925
01:05:59.599 --> 01:06:02.679
seven eleven seconds and just sort of
like be here for that quick? Is

926
01:06:02.679 --> 01:06:06.280
it that was there was a button
to like skip that is that? Would

927
01:06:06.280 --> 01:06:10.000
that be fucked up? I don't
think so. I would. I would

928
01:06:10.039 --> 01:06:12.480
welcome it, but I mean part
of it. I think it's like the

929
01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:15.760
flow in the match or something that
they're worried about preserving. And I don't

930
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:17.760
know, like, you know,
maybe both players would have to agree to

931
01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:20.119
skip it, right, so that
the other players not caught off guard or

932
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:24.320
something. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I think that's the move

933
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:28.119
there. I've just been playing Towers. I love how I can mix and

934
01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:30.360
match my cameo characters. I think
everything is really I wish I could be

935
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:35.039
Syrax and Sector. I want to
play as those motherfuckers. I now feel

936
01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:40.199
shame for shaming Bailey for doing a
solo Mario party, because that's one of

937
01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:44.239
the modes here. Right, It's
just a solo Mario party. It's still

938
01:06:44.519 --> 01:06:47.320
very Immortal Kombat what you're doing.
But and like the board game is more

939
01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:50.880
just like an overworld map, but
it is like they are a little bit

940
01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:55.559
trying to board gamify like this a
single player experience and it works really well.

941
01:06:55.599 --> 01:06:58.119
From what Dan showed me in the
quick look, it looks like a

942
01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:00.639
really good way, Like if you
get through the story, you're like,

943
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:02.800
I just want to keep playing Mortal
Kombat. This is a really good way

944
01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:06.760
to facilitate that. M you know
what, Yes, it's the most like

945
01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:11.199
the Smash Brothers single player mode from
Ultimate. That's the thing it reminds me

946
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:14.039
of the most. I just think
this one looks better and like more fun.

947
01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:17.320
Are you be smirching the name of
Kirby though? Is that? Is

948
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:21.000
that what we're doing with I never
I gotta be careful around these parts doing

949
01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:26.400
that that I could lose a limb. How are you liking the story?

950
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:31.239
Backlar? Have you have? You
didn't started? I don't. Mortal Kommer

951
01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:38.440
Lord is like not interesting to me. It's just I don't look like I'm

952
01:07:38.480 --> 01:07:41.960
not shaming anyone who finds joy in
that narrative. No, no, shame

953
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:45.039
away, please please, It's just
not for me. I watched the opening

954
01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:50.920
unskippable cinematic where uh, you know, we're talking about like recreating the cosmos

955
01:07:51.039 --> 01:07:57.440
and that stuff seemed fine, and
I don't like it's just none of this

956
01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:00.679
Yeah, honestly, chats right.
Like I've seen I've watched two seasons of

957
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:05.239
Joejoe's Bizarre Adventure. Mortal Kombat is
like a flyer you find in a bathroom

958
01:08:05.239 --> 01:08:09.800
compared to that lore, so like, it does not matter to me.

959
01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:13.840
My brain is just too big for
it. Of course, right. I

960
01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:15.520
do like the way you're like,
oh, they remade the universe. It's

961
01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:18.760
nice for you. That's that's really
sweetly You've got that going for you.

962
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:24.319
It's very sweet. I just like
in a game where like everyone's head is

963
01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:30.079
constantly being chopped off, I struggle
to find any sort of grounded narrative there.

964
01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:33.439
It's fine. I love the fighting
element of it. That's really all

965
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:41.479
that matters. And yeah, I'm
surprised that I've found myself going back constantly

966
01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:44.560
to Mortal Kombat one the last couple
of days and playing a lot of that

967
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:47.520
game. Bailey, are you at
all intrigued by Mortal Kombat or Street Furnter

968
01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:51.520
six? How do you fair with
the fighting game world? Okay? My

969
01:08:51.720 --> 01:08:58.039
thing with fighting games is it's very
it's very weird because I've had I have

970
01:08:58.079 --> 01:09:00.039
a lot of ties to the fighting
games because I used to work at a

971
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:04.159
fighting game company, but I've never
been good at them, and I've tried

972
01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:09.960
so hard and I can't fucking do
it, and it's it is what it

973
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:12.640
is, you know. I just
I don't have I just don't have it

974
01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.119
in me to be good at fighting
games. But I know a lot of

975
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.560
Immortal Kombat because I did a lot
of really in depth research on the history

976
01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:21.880
of it for a video that came
out on game Spot like a month or

977
01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:25.199
two ago, I don't remember,
but it was great. You should watch

978
01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:30.439
a history Mortal Kombat. Watch it. And also I thought that the most

979
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:34.119
recent Mortal Kombat movie was really fun. Okay, I need to ask you

980
01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:39.760
because I thought this, and this
bugged me. With the newest Mortal Kombat

981
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:45.920
movie, I swear to God that
Cole's wife in that movie, he was

982
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:50.079
presented that she was his mother,
and then I was very bothered when they

983
01:09:50.199 --> 01:09:55.199
kissed because I thought that was his
mom. It was not I read that

984
01:09:55.239 --> 01:09:58.920
completely thought that, but I think
at the point that that happened in the

985
01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:01.600
movie. I'm pretty sure if I'm
remembering correctly. It was my first movie

986
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:05.720
back in theaters, like post Lockdown, so I was just like taking it

987
01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:10.640
all in. I saw it at
the fucking the Chinese Theater. I was

988
01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:15.039
like, it's a historic moment,
Like I have to see the new Mortal

989
01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:18.479
Combat. They had. One of
the actresses from the movie was there that

990
01:10:18.600 --> 01:10:23.640
night, and like we were if
anyone's ever been to the Chinese theater,

991
01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:27.159
it's like you got these like big
sets of stairs that go down like a

992
01:10:27.479 --> 01:10:31.359
big auditorium seating, and she was
wearing one of those dresses that like really

993
01:10:31.359 --> 01:10:34.439
constrict your legs, that are like
full length but like really tight, and

994
01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:39.079
so she was going down all of
these stairs and it took a ship you

995
01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:42.000
not a full ten minutes for her
to get all the way down the stairs.

996
01:10:42.359 --> 01:10:45.159
And she gets to the friend,
she goes, thank you all so

997
01:10:45.239 --> 01:10:50.239
much for being here, and then
walked say. I was like, this

998
01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:56.039
is the greatest thing that's ever happened
in cinemall. It's good. I was

999
01:10:56.119 --> 01:10:59.640
so amped after that. That movie
was great. You could not have disappointed

1000
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:01.079
me. After that. That was
I was so primed to have a great

1001
01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:05.239
time. Uh speak about having a
great time with Mortal Kombat. There's also

1002
01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:09.000
a quick look of Mortal Kombat one
out on the site. Now, this

1003
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:12.880
game looks gorgeous. But speaking about
having a great time, I think Jeff

1004
01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:15.840
Grubb has been having a great time
because someone will stop playing this game.

1005
01:11:16.840 --> 01:11:23.000
Z. I got a crying kid
over here. But I'll try to do

1006
01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:27.960
my best. It's it's really really
good, and I keep playing it a

1007
01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:31.079
lot, and I don't need I
don't need you monitoring my behavior online,

1008
01:11:31.239 --> 01:11:35.840
Jane Cholla, I just play a
lot what Major Mitch has told me,

1009
01:11:36.279 --> 01:11:40.279
and so we all see it.
We all see it. Jeff. It's

1010
01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:44.119
fine. It's I started playing.
I played it on that upf and I'm

1011
01:11:44.119 --> 01:11:46.159
like, I think I get this. It's but it's like it's a lot,

1012
01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:48.479
and I don't know if the juice
is ever gonna be worth the squeeze

1013
01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:50.479
in terms of like, yeah,
maybe I'll get a win, but it

1014
01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:54.159
feels like it's gonna be luck and
then it's like it turns out no.

1015
01:11:54.239 --> 01:11:58.960
It's very much a battle royale,
which is in most battle royale video games,

1016
01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:03.680
it's about just maximizing your positioning as
much as possible so that when the

1017
01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:06.680
luck does break your way, you
can be in position to win. That

1018
01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:11.000
was true and PUBG it's true in
Fortnite. It's true Tetris ninety nine,

1019
01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:13.840
where you just got to keep make
sure you're staying ahead of the curve so

1020
01:12:13.880 --> 01:12:16.159
that when when you know someone else
makes a mistake, you're ready to get

1021
01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:18.359
in there. And this Ki reminds
me a lot of Tetris ninety nine,

1022
01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:23.159
where you've got to be on top
of every little thing. So you need

1023
01:12:23.199 --> 01:12:27.000
to be racing well. That means
avoiding the cars in front of you,

1024
01:12:27.239 --> 01:12:29.840
not hitting the sides. Both those
things will slow you down a lot.

1025
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:31.479
But then you also want to be
and this is like one of my little

1026
01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:34.039
tricks, is you want to be
mindful of the cars behind you because there

1027
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:38.239
these little arrows pop up and you
want to be having them bump into you

1028
01:12:38.239 --> 01:12:40.399
because that gives you a little bit
of a speed boost. And then you

1029
01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:43.359
want to be getting all of these
power ups that fill up your meter so

1030
01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:45.479
that you can use your meter at
the appropriate time. And you need to

1031
01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:47.560
use the meter at the appropriate time
so that gives you a superboost, puts

1032
01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:50.760
you on a track up above of
the normal track where all the other cars

1033
01:12:50.800 --> 01:12:55.399
are, and you can reach a
thousand kilometers per hour or whatever it is,

1034
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:59.319
and that's a that's a huge advantage. Yes, it's very fast.

1035
01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:01.000
It's a huge advant if you use
at the right time, and then you've

1036
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:05.039
got to be keeping an eye on
your health slash normal boost, which is

1037
01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:06.920
like you use your boost, it
takes away some of your health, so

1038
01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:10.920
it's a risk rewarter mechanic. You
want to be doing that about once per

1039
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:13.600
tracks. You need to learn the
right place to do that, and then

1040
01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:17.880
it's all of these things simultaneously have
to be at the top of your mind,

1041
01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:20.079
and that just takes practice. So
that's why I was playing so much.

1042
01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:24.239
It's like I feel myself getting better. And then once I started getting

1043
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:26.800
to a point where I could manage
all of these different things, and I

1044
01:13:26.880 --> 01:13:29.239
was using the super boost at the
right time, in the normal Boost at

1045
01:13:29.239 --> 01:13:31.319
the right time, and I wasn't
being too aggressive. That's what like.

1046
01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:35.720
Now I'm like regularly finishing in the
top ten almost every race. I still

1047
01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:39.439
have a ton of wins. I
think I have four wins and then I

1048
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:43.920
have one win of a circuit,
which is like five races, and I

1049
01:13:43.960 --> 01:13:45.039
didn't even I didn't want a single
race in that, but I was in

1050
01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:47.199
the top ten every time, so
I was able to or close to the

1051
01:13:47.239 --> 01:13:50.680
top ten. So I came out
of a number one in that and it's

1052
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:54.560
super satisfying to win. Boy,
it feels good. It really is a

1053
01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:58.079
very very good feeling, which is
what you want from Better Royal, where

1054
01:13:58.079 --> 01:14:00.359
it's like you put it on this
effort and when you get pull off a

1055
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:02.000
win, it feels like you accomplish
something. This is definitely one of those

1056
01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:04.800
games. Yeah. Nice. What
what do you think is the next game

1057
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:10.600
that should get nine people mentioned?
Like Star Fucks ninety nine. I'd like

1058
01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:13.439
the idea like a dog a dog
fight one that that's pretty cool, but

1059
01:14:13.479 --> 01:14:17.640
I don't know if that's it's difficult. What do you think? What's that

1060
01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:23.039
Kirby air Ride? Oh? I
would love that. Kirby's Air Ride ninety

1061
01:14:23.039 --> 01:14:28.479
one would be incredible. Nintendo,
Doug, Doug, you're listening, write

1062
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:32.239
the check our good friend, Doug. Absolutely, I would I would dig

1063
01:14:32.279 --> 01:14:35.640
that. There's there's a lot of
stuff they could go for, but it's

1064
01:14:35.680 --> 01:14:40.520
one to Switch ninety nine. Yes, there it is. That's it one

1065
01:14:40.600 --> 01:14:45.319
one two ninety nine switch. Yes, let's make it happen. The crime.

1066
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:48.800
What the fuck are you doing?
Man? I'm putting these ideas out

1067
01:14:48.840 --> 01:14:54.359
into the universe because someone needs to
capitalism. All right, someone needs to

1068
01:14:54.439 --> 01:14:59.840
capitalism Twisted Metal ninety nine lance what
a great idea? Is it a greater?

1069
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.079
I mean, look, is F
zero ninety nine on paper a good

1070
01:15:03.119 --> 01:15:06.840
idea? One hundred car race?
But I don't know, like why not

1071
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:12.680
have combat vehicular combat? Yeah?
I think about F zero is like there's

1072
01:15:12.680 --> 01:15:15.199
not a ton of tracks, so
it's like and apparently like people have gone

1073
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:17.239
in and saw there's other modes where
it because like this one is it's still

1074
01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:19.600
just F zero. It is about
finishing first. Yeah, some people in

1075
01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:23.039
the back are gonna blow up and
like not make the cut, but for

1076
01:15:23.079 --> 01:15:26.039
the most part, like eighty people
are going to cross the finish line.

1077
01:15:26.319 --> 01:15:29.960
I'm like, I'm like, there's
still space in this battle royale genre for

1078
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:33.319
like no just the last car standing. It sounds like they might have modes

1079
01:15:33.359 --> 01:15:36.199
like that in F zero ninety nine
that they're gonna release later, but I

1080
01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:40.560
still think like a car combat one
that could work. I would I would

1081
01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:45.760
be down to try that Mega Man
ninety nine the well, like that mini

1082
01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:49.359
game from Pokemon Stadium where you're a
liqua tongue trying to eat as much sushi

1083
01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:55.159
as possible but not the w Sabby, I think that ninety nine, Yes,

1084
01:15:56.159 --> 01:16:00.119
definitely where we were all thinking.
He's yeah, uh, do you

1085
01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:02.359
want to get to the news.
You want to talk about this last thing?

1086
01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:05.760
Here? I play a little bit
heavy duty challenge. You move big

1087
01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:09.640
trucks over things. It's okay,
it feels like a cheaply made game,

1088
01:16:09.720 --> 01:16:14.159
but it touch the thing where the
tires go over the mud and then the

1089
01:16:14.239 --> 01:16:16.760
mud falls apart, really realistically,
And you know that's what I need.

1090
01:16:16.840 --> 01:16:25.399
Jan Jan, you know you you
love like long haul mud games and desolate

1091
01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:29.159
space games. It's like, yes, it is the two different sides of

1092
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:33.800
grub. It is the two wolves
inside of him costly howling. They're howling,

1093
01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:38.279
They're always howling. That's absolutely right, Like, look at that mud,

1094
01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:40.760
good fucked up. Yes, I
need it. And then then let's

1095
01:16:40.760 --> 01:16:43.640
go to space where I'll never have
to see mud again. I don't know,

1096
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:45.479
I don't know what it is.
You need absolute mud and the absolute

1097
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:50.119
absence of mud. I'm a spokesperson
for absolute mud. It's my favorite vodka.

1098
01:16:50.239 --> 01:16:54.720
That's for sure. All right.
You know what, Yeah, let's

1099
01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:58.560
let's hit the news do them news
button. There we go, and I'm

1100
01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:02.159
glad. I had it this week, watch out next week whoever's on the

1101
01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:12.159
bomb cast. Yeah, Microsoft accidentally
uploaded all of their secrets. They will

1102
01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:17.439
Yeah, I Phil was just he
uploaded the wrong files to the FTCs like

1103
01:17:17.560 --> 01:17:25.560
server or whatever, and now I
get it. Yes, exactly, that's

1104
01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:29.159
the common ye. Anyway, it's
there's a lot going on here. We'll

1105
01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:31.239
dive into most of it, although
some of it's still being like sorted through,

1106
01:17:31.319 --> 01:17:35.039
so there'll be more in Game Nest
Mornings later this week probably. But

1107
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:42.119
Microsoft is planning to release a redesigned
Xbox Series X console in November twenty twenty

1108
01:17:42.119 --> 01:17:44.520
four. Right now, it has
the code named Brooklyn. It will have

1109
01:17:45.079 --> 01:17:48.399
sy Brooklyn. It will have more
internal storage, faster Wi Fi, reduced

1110
01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:53.720
power consumption, a more immersive controller
which we'll talk about in a second,

1111
01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:58.479
and a beautiful design. And that
beautiful design is a cylindrical shape. According

1112
01:17:58.520 --> 01:18:00.800
to the reports. It won't have
a disk tray, so they're not going

1113
01:18:00.840 --> 01:18:03.079
to do a disk drive on this
thing, but it will have two terabytes

1114
01:18:03.319 --> 01:18:08.880
of storage instead. But and like
the specs aren't really going to be upgraded,

1115
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:12.039
they'll be slightly improved. What that
really means probably is they're using a

1116
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:15.600
new chip set that is basically more
power efficient. That's where the power,

1117
01:18:15.800 --> 01:18:19.079
like the reduced power consumption comes from. But it basically basically it's gonna run

1118
01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:24.640
games almost exactly the same. I
would assume this is in line with Microsoft.

1119
01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:26.760
Microsoft is said about, hey,
they don't want to do a pro

1120
01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:30.399
version in the middle of the console
generation, but they might do something like

1121
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:33.720
this, which is just an Xbox
Series X revamped in a bunch of other

1122
01:18:33.720 --> 01:18:36.720
ways, and then and it's gonna
be five hundred dollars. Still, what's

1123
01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:43.119
up, guys? What the fuck
are they doing? This isn't a box,

1124
01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:49.600
This is a fucking cylinder and slinder
serious x Yeah, that's good,

1125
01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:55.720
good call out everyone. Everyone's upset
about their like data potentially being leaked and

1126
01:18:55.760 --> 01:19:00.479
this stuff feeling bad for big Philly. But we should we should be causing

1127
01:19:00.600 --> 01:19:05.239
riots right now. A box you're
saying, must be square shaped, all

1128
01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:11.720
right? Or rectangular cube angles to
this shit, baby? Okay? Not

1129
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:16.479
a single one round? Yeah?
What is it like? There's a lot

1130
01:19:16.520 --> 01:19:20.760
of there's a lot of jewelry boxes
and stuff that aren't like perfect squares.

1131
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:25.159
I don't know, I feel like
you're being kind of prescriptivists. Yeah,

1132
01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:28.800
yes, can be a circle.
Yes, you're wrong, Jan, I'm

1133
01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:32.199
sorry, can be a circle.
A box can be spherical, It could

1134
01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:38.000
be cylindrical. Rather, you could
do a round box too. All boxes

1135
01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:41.199
are circles, but not all circles
are boxes. You know, yeah,

1136
01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:45.119
you know, all this time we
didn't know Phil had it in them,

1137
01:19:45.159 --> 01:19:48.199
and now I was gonna show us. All Right, I apologize for darrelling

1138
01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:53.359
the news. Alright, Actually,
let me do it this general quick.

1139
01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:56.079
Just give me a second. I'll
be right back. It's a good idea.

1140
01:19:56.479 --> 01:19:59.359
I I'm looking at the rest of
this stuff here, and I gotta

1141
01:19:59.439 --> 01:20:02.079
say, from a tech perspective,
back, lark, I don't press.

1142
01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:04.640
I don't need no, I don't
think anybody I think. I think it's

1143
01:20:04.640 --> 01:20:09.560
that's the right time to buy it
if you don't already have one, but

1144
01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:13.800
I don't. This is not like
a half step upgrade console in the way

1145
01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:15.600
of like a pro or anything like
that. I'm sure girl will come back

1146
01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:19.520
and reiterate how that's the case.
But this is not a thing where you're

1147
01:20:19.520 --> 01:20:24.880
like, well, my refrigerator xbox
is no longer relevant. I must upgrade

1148
01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:28.119
to the cylinder. It's what about
it's gonna be a thing that the controller

1149
01:20:28.199 --> 01:20:32.760
is intriguing. Though. What about
these hot Starfield raps that I'm putting gonna

1150
01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:36.000
buy for this Xbox? I can't
put them on the cylinder? No,

1151
01:20:36.039 --> 01:20:41.760
I mean I love the I love
the Starfield raps. They're so fucking cool.

1152
01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:45.880
Like, what's why? Why release
something cool like that and then immediately

1153
01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:48.920
make it so I can't use it? Okay, the controller looks sick.

1154
01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:58.159
I think it's different. Controller looks
like it it's been dipped. Oh.

1155
01:20:57.600 --> 01:21:02.399
I think Starfield's color packaging is very, very good. I like the brand.

1156
01:21:02.479 --> 01:21:05.520
I like what they did with the
packaging of that stuff. It's a

1157
01:21:05.520 --> 01:21:10.640
shame that I just find myself so
disinterested in that video game. The problem

1158
01:21:10.880 --> 01:21:15.159
is, like all of the colors
that they've used for the Starfield promotional stuff

1159
01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:17.720
are so much brighter and more interesting
than anything you can put on your character

1160
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:23.199
in Starfield. Like the first day
I played it, I searched for hours

1161
01:21:23.239 --> 01:21:26.319
just to find my character a slutty
little crop top so I could relate to

1162
01:21:26.359 --> 01:21:30.840
her better. Nothing, fucking nothing, that's space. What you know space?

1163
01:21:31.199 --> 01:21:38.439
You can't wear a crop top?
Definitely sluts in space? Oh yeah,

1164
01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:41.319
I mean, I'm making my way
through Cowboy Bebop. I'm aware.

1165
01:21:43.039 --> 01:21:46.000
Yeah, let me dress her up
like Fay Valentine and then we can talk.

1166
01:21:46.680 --> 01:21:50.279
You're not getting an honest game trailer
for that game until then. Hear

1167
01:21:50.399 --> 01:22:00.479
that hold hostage warnings warning I want
to wear a crop yeahs all wear crop

1168
01:22:00.560 --> 01:22:05.640
tops and rock in there we go, all right, all right, this

1169
01:22:05.760 --> 01:22:10.720
controller it's uh, it's also going
to be updated. It's got a codenamed

1170
01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:14.680
Sabill. Do with that what you
will. Uh. It's got new features

1171
01:22:14.680 --> 01:22:23.000
including improved precision haptic feedback using voice
coil actuators which double as speakers, basically

1172
01:22:23.119 --> 01:22:27.000
just haptics that happen to be speakers. That that makes sense because like the

1173
01:22:27.000 --> 01:22:30.640
haptics on in the in the duel
sense really work because they always pair it

1174
01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:32.319
up with a sound. So it's
like you can like complete it in your

1175
01:22:32.319 --> 01:22:34.039
brain, like, oh, I
know what they're trying to go for,

1176
01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:38.119
I'm going over gravel or something like
that, so making that the same thing,

1177
01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:41.920
that's fair. It also have an
accelerometer which will have a lift to

1178
01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:45.079
wake features, so lift up the
control or your Xbox will turn on.

1179
01:22:45.159 --> 01:22:48.960
That sounds annoying, actually don't.
I'm not gonna use that. And then

1180
01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:51.880
yeah, because like I'm gonna be
cleaning the table and I'll pick it up

1181
01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:54.960
into my xbox. Is gonna turn
on, That's gonna turn on the TV

1182
01:22:55.399 --> 01:23:01.760
and I'm in the middle of the
night. I hope it's hope. It's

1183
01:23:01.760 --> 01:23:04.039
like the eight Bit though, where
you like really have to violently shake it,

1184
01:23:04.119 --> 01:23:09.600
shake you show it. Who's boss? Yeah? Yeah, you want

1185
01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:13.720
to make it all dizzy and whatnot. That's how's your father? Yeah?

1186
01:23:14.600 --> 01:23:18.439
More things for me to assume there's
a ghost in my house exactly. That

1187
01:23:19.239 --> 01:23:24.880
modular thumbsticks a rechargeable battery, which
but you can people have been asking for

1188
01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:30.640
for a while, stop the press
is what. Chargeable batteries and my controllers

1189
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:32.479
I hate them actually because they always
go bad after a year and then you

1190
01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:35.399
got to control it last for two
hours. And if they always go bad

1191
01:23:35.600 --> 01:23:41.239
after a year, what do you
mean? What like my jewels since last

1192
01:23:41.560 --> 01:23:45.720
like an hour and a half.
It's because it's a rechargeable battery. Well,

1193
01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:49.239
maybe the capacity is the problem.
I'm with you. I think those

1194
01:23:49.279 --> 01:23:54.640
are like not impressive battery lengths,
but like I don't know, don't do

1195
01:23:54.680 --> 01:23:56.680
that better? I don't. I
don't know. I don't have to tell

1196
01:23:56.680 --> 01:24:00.000
you now. But these rechargable batteries, they do mention can be swapped out.

1197
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:02.960
So that's something because because if you
can put in a new one on

1198
01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:05.399
the fly, then we're then we're
all good. I suppose I don't have

1199
01:24:05.439 --> 01:24:09.840
to get Hopefully it's just like a
double aced kind of a chargeable battery.

1200
01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:14.039
We'll see, yeah, I know. And then if they're gonna have quieter

1201
01:24:14.119 --> 01:24:16.760
buttons and thumbsticks, I don't.
I like my loud dumb sticks and buttons,

1202
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:20.840
but I get it, I do. Are they loud? Are they

1203
01:24:20.880 --> 01:24:29.640
louder? Everyone click? I have
a dual sense. Son, No,

1204
01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:34.600
you're using two I can't wait.
What's happening here? That's very loud.

1205
01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:38.640
That's actually very loud. It is. I guess it's good for a keyboard,

1206
01:24:38.680 --> 01:24:42.840
not for a controller. It's satisfying, but I don't know. I

1207
01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:45.000
don't have it. It's feel like
a jeweler. I don't have Handy because

1208
01:24:45.039 --> 01:24:50.560
it's the only console that I don't
like personally own. That's okay. You

1209
01:24:50.600 --> 01:24:56.359
have a competent, you have a
PC. It's okay, Bailey. I

1210
01:24:56.399 --> 01:25:00.600
don't have a feel like such a
fake You don't you have a PC,

1211
01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:02.399
you don't need one. That's exactly
all the games are on there. I

1212
01:25:02.399 --> 01:25:08.960
mean, we've established I'm a fake
gamer anyway, so's we're all fake gamers

1213
01:25:09.039 --> 01:25:11.880
together. Good for us, absolutely, high five. Differently, I'm just

1214
01:25:11.920 --> 01:25:15.239
gonna go play more fzero ninety nine
and avoid all these new games. That's

1215
01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:18.159
what I'm doing. Hey, I
like loading batteries. That's it. Look

1216
01:25:18.159 --> 01:25:20.399
at that. Oh that's a good
sound. I like that. That's good

1217
01:25:20.439 --> 01:25:25.600
stuff. Sorry, no, it's
okay. More news here. Microsoft is

1218
01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:29.399
looking to launch its next gen console
in twenty twenty eight. Microsoft has been

1219
01:25:29.399 --> 01:25:32.239
targeting at twenty twenty eight launch window
for its next Xbox console, as mentioned

1220
01:25:32.239 --> 01:25:36.800
in a May twenty twenty two meeting
attended by top company executives, including CEO

1221
01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:42.840
Satya Nadela and Head of Gaming Phil
Spencer. May have it may have flexible

1222
01:25:42.920 --> 01:25:47.119
hardware specifications and be more developer friendly
than previous consoles. Microsoft believes that mid

1223
01:25:47.199 --> 01:25:51.399
cycle hardware refreshes are not helpful for
creators or players, and that current console

1224
01:25:51.439 --> 01:25:57.319
cycle is still young. Microsoft's next
gen vision this is like some of the

1225
01:25:57.359 --> 01:26:00.000
details here, which is actually some
of the stuff sounds pretty wild. Microsoft's

1226
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:03.520
next gen console Xbox series X,
X, X and S would represent not

1227
01:26:03.600 --> 01:26:09.159
just a new device, but a
new ecosystem generation. Executives outlined this plan

1228
01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:13.039
in that made twenty twenty two meeting. Console generations usually just involved a new

1229
01:26:13.039 --> 01:26:15.880
offering of one or two models of
a new, more powerful piece of gaming

1230
01:26:15.880 --> 01:26:20.960
hardware. The leaked presentation on Microsoft's
so called Gen ten offering including consoles,

1231
01:26:21.199 --> 01:26:27.079
phones, web browsers, a handheld
system PCs, and a cloud console with

1232
01:26:27.119 --> 01:26:30.880
a shared operating system available across devices. According to the presentation, Microsoft has

1233
01:26:30.920 --> 01:26:36.640
already selected ARM sixty four architecture for
the core devices CPU. The company expected

1234
01:26:36.680 --> 01:26:41.560
delivery development kits to game creators by
twenty twenty seven ahead of a twenty twenty

1235
01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:45.560
eight launch. That would be a
big change going from X eighty six to

1236
01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:50.880
ARM sixty four for their processor.
And basically the simplest way to explain this

1237
01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:56.399
is the switch uses ARM. Now
they use it's going to be a something

1238
01:26:56.479 --> 01:27:00.439
different version of ARM. Like all
your phones use ARM. All the all

1239
01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:03.920
these mobile devices basically use that.
But they're becoming so much more powerful these

1240
01:27:03.960 --> 01:27:08.800
days that it makes some sense because
this gives you the most flexibility, which

1241
01:27:08.840 --> 01:27:13.439
sounds like they want to go for
now. They did also like they're like,

1242
01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:15.119
hey, we want to do a
handheld Xbox, but they're like,

1243
01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:18.039
we would probably do this with a
partner and not make it ourselves because the

1244
01:27:18.039 --> 01:27:21.399
resources it would take to get that
spun up. I wonder if that changes

1245
01:27:21.920 --> 01:27:26.079
now after they see what happened with
the Steam Deck. I suppose that was

1246
01:27:26.079 --> 01:27:28.560
probably happening when they originally had that
meeting, though, so I don't know.

1247
01:27:30.159 --> 01:27:33.239
All right, more news here.
Yes, the cloud gaming aspect is

1248
01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:36.640
going to return. So Microsoft plans
to release a next gen Xbox console late

1249
01:27:36.640 --> 01:27:40.760
twenty twenty eight that we were just
talking about, and it will use cloud

1250
01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:45.000
processing to improve performance enabled new game
experiences. The company has been working on

1251
01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:49.119
cloud gaming for over a decade and
has already implemented it in some Xbox games.

1252
01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:53.479
But now it's you know, obviously
they tried this once before with the

1253
01:27:53.560 --> 01:27:57.239
Xbox One, where it was going
to be better with the cloud. That's

1254
01:27:57.640 --> 01:28:00.560
something they are going to return to
with the next system. They've been silently

1255
01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:02.800
working on this for a while.
I mean, obviously that's one of the

1256
01:28:02.800 --> 01:28:08.720
things Kojima is working on with there
with his game for Xbox exactly. So

1257
01:28:09.880 --> 01:28:13.560
they are probably looking for a big
coming out party for this tech where they

1258
01:28:13.640 --> 01:28:16.159
like, hey, here's a game
that really is better because it's using the

1259
01:28:16.199 --> 01:28:20.000
cloud and it's not just a Microsoft
flight simulator, which is something that I

1260
01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:21.439
think a lot of people are like, yeah, I get it, but

1261
01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:25.039
I'm never gonna play that game.
They're looking for a way to like,

1262
01:28:25.359 --> 01:28:28.960
hey, make make games seem better
because they are running on the Azure Cloud

1263
01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:31.159
server or something like that. I
think this is all a smoke screen.

1264
01:28:31.239 --> 01:28:35.079
I think they're just trying to get
Final Fantasy seven onto the Xbox. This

1265
01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:40.159
is the game that's the cloud gaming
of the future. Absolutely, yes,

1266
01:28:40.640 --> 01:28:43.760
So that's what Phil Spencer's always been. Cut the check, fail, cut

1267
01:28:43.760 --> 01:28:46.880
the check. Uh okay, well, speaking of cutting the check, Phil

1268
01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:56.600
Spencer and Microsoft, we're trying to
acquire Nintendo in the year twenty twenty twenty.

1269
01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:00.960
What sorry, what Findintendo? Well, listen, they took they had

1270
01:29:00.960 --> 01:29:04.439
conversation. Okay, you know in
twenty twenty, Microsoft gaming boss Phil Spencer

1271
01:29:04.479 --> 01:29:09.199
wanted to acquire Nintendo. He believed
that Nintendo was a key asset for Microsoft

1272
01:29:09.199 --> 01:29:12.399
and gaming and that a merger would
be a good move for the companies.

1273
01:29:13.039 --> 01:29:17.319
However, Nintendo was not interested in
being acquired. Yeah, yeah, and

1274
01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:24.239
horrific for planet Earth, like great
for Microsoft, and you know, world

1275
01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:27.399
ending for the rest of humanities,
Like, wouldn't it be nice if we

1276
01:29:27.439 --> 01:29:30.439
own that? Yeah, man,
probably would probably be really nice for you.

1277
01:29:30.479 --> 01:29:33.279
It'd be nice if we all individually
owned a lot of things. That

1278
01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:36.880
doesn't mean we just get to go
buy Nintendo Io. I'll hear this.

1279
01:29:38.239 --> 01:29:42.720
I don't even want to hear this
as a freaking thought experiment. This sucks.

1280
01:29:42.760 --> 01:29:47.600
So he is antitrust loss, yes, and he's aware that like Nintendo

1281
01:29:47.760 --> 01:29:51.319
was like not really super hot on
the idea that was like him. He

1282
01:29:51.359 --> 01:29:56.399
had to kind of explain that to
other people at Microsoft. He suggested that

1283
01:29:56.399 --> 01:30:00.199
he believe Nintendo's future exist off of
their own hardware, which is wild in

1284
01:30:00.199 --> 01:30:04.399
a world where they game sell like
fifty million copies on just Switch, but

1285
01:30:04.439 --> 01:30:09.760
claimed it was taking a long time
for the company to see that without that

1286
01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:14.119
catalyst, I don't see an angle
to a near term mutually agreeable merger of

1287
01:30:14.199 --> 01:30:16.920
Nintendo and Microsoft, he explained to
other execs inside of Microsoft. And I

1288
01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:20.159
don't think a hostile action would be
a good move. Yeah, hostile takeover

1289
01:30:20.239 --> 01:30:27.119
Nintendo would be something everyone would love. So we're playing the game. Uh

1290
01:30:27.199 --> 01:30:30.399
huh. But our board of directors
has seen the full right up on Nintendo

1291
01:30:30.560 --> 01:30:35.319
and Valve, and they are fully
supportive on either if opportunity arises, as

1292
01:30:35.399 --> 01:30:39.600
am I Valves out there, like
what what? What the fuck? I

1293
01:30:39.640 --> 01:30:43.199
mean? Valve's a privately owned company. They're not even like you couldn't even

1294
01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:46.199
go out and buy the shares,
but you couldn't assume that eventually gave Newell

1295
01:30:46.279 --> 01:30:49.880
is gonna want to be like,
what's wait, I'm not gonna be around

1296
01:30:49.920 --> 01:30:55.279
forever some what I'm gonna have to
like do something here, but I don't

1297
01:30:55.279 --> 01:30:59.840
know he's going to leave it.
Through Swords is my favorite first person shooter

1298
01:30:59.880 --> 01:31:04.000
of all time. But mentioning Valve
in the same breath as Nintendo is insane.

1299
01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:08.359
Phil, What are you talking about? I love weeks. You get

1300
01:31:08.359 --> 01:31:11.560
to see all the most embarrassing emails
and power points that never made it past

1301
01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:14.880
to the initial marketing rounds, where
you're just like, I don't know,

1302
01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:18.159
Phil, maybe take that one back
to the drawing board. By both of

1303
01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:21.079
these, I see what like what
like. In the context of this conversation,

1304
01:31:21.159 --> 01:31:25.000
I'm like doing the short version here. The context of the conversation is

1305
01:31:25.039 --> 01:31:29.800
like, what would be the biggest
pie in the sky? Possible moves we

1306
01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:33.960
can make that would completely redefine everything, and that are also in the realm

1307
01:31:34.000 --> 01:31:38.640
of possibility. Nintendo, we all
know not in the realm of possibility.

1308
01:31:38.720 --> 01:31:42.760
Valve is not like some impossible thing, though, So I get like he's

1309
01:31:42.760 --> 01:31:45.319
like, at some point getting Nintendo
would be a career moment, is how

1310
01:31:45.359 --> 01:31:47.319
he describes it. Oh yeah,
I'm sure, and I honestly believe a

1311
01:31:47.319 --> 01:31:50.239
good move for both companies. It's
just taking a long time for Nintendo to

1312
01:31:50.279 --> 01:31:55.199
see that their future exists off their
own hardware. And then he reiterates a

1313
01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:58.680
long time. Someone should let me
be in a CEO because of all of

1314
01:31:58.720 --> 01:32:02.840
my wild ideas. I think,
I think I would do a major disservice

1315
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:06.800
to humanity, but it'd be really
fun. Yeah, I mean, but

1316
01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:12.840
if Microsoft just buys Apple, let's
let's keep dreaming. You know, it's

1317
01:32:12.880 --> 01:32:19.119
just all this like wildly irresponsible consolidation
that is horrifying. It's like their job

1318
01:32:19.199 --> 01:32:23.039
to like like have all these ideas, but it is weird just to see

1319
01:32:23.039 --> 01:32:26.079
it written out right, just to
have someone's like, oh, they really

1320
01:32:26.119 --> 01:32:29.640
did have that conversation. That's crazy, and like it would be it would

1321
01:32:29.680 --> 01:32:32.239
be probably anti competitive for Microsoft,
the company that owns Windows, to be

1322
01:32:32.279 --> 01:32:36.199
the company that also owns Valve,
the biggest PC gaming store, that would

1323
01:32:36.199 --> 01:32:41.119
be a tough one, I think
for them to get past regulators. I

1324
01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:45.039
mean, Nintendo is a whole other
thing. Honestly, I don't even know

1325
01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:47.039
what that would look like, how
do you even pull that off? That'd

1326
01:32:47.039 --> 01:32:51.560
be impossible. But yeah, I
don't like it's weird these companies. It's

1327
01:32:51.840 --> 01:32:55.960
we have these laws against price fixing, right, Like if all these companies

1328
01:32:56.000 --> 01:32:59.560
got together and decided, hey,
we're going to work together to fix prices,

1329
01:32:59.600 --> 01:33:01.079
that would be super illegal. But
if you're just a company and you

1330
01:33:01.199 --> 01:33:08.359
buy everyone and then you decide to
fix those prices, that's like totally for

1331
01:33:08.680 --> 01:33:12.960
Yeah, but there's yeah, but
they're the market still operates that way.

1332
01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:16.399
There are still like, you know, that sort of pricing like matching and

1333
01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:21.439
and and that sort of strategy that's
sort of like don't step on their toes

1334
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:24.600
and we won't step on yours,
right, Like that sort of thing.

1335
01:33:24.640 --> 01:33:31.840
It's like gentlemen's agreements behind closed doors
that sort of stuff. Where did this

1336
01:33:31.920 --> 01:33:35.239
leak out of? Like? How
did we where? So? Microsoft apparently

1337
01:33:35.319 --> 01:33:42.319
uploaded unredacted files to the FTC server
as part of the activision case. So

1338
01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:46.439
it was like someone that Microsoft sped, Yes there was a giant rake,

1339
01:33:46.479 --> 01:33:49.720
and they're just like, man,
that's looking juicy, gonna step on that

1340
01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:55.960
juicy rake. Well, baby,
man, I love your ambition, but

1341
01:33:56.119 --> 01:33:59.600
I have a switch on my desk
and not an Xbox for a reason,

1342
01:34:01.800 --> 01:34:04.239
Kitto can't coma. Oh there's a
buggy, I see it. Yeah,

1343
01:34:04.279 --> 01:34:10.159
that's very opinions about this too.
Let her chime in. Yes, someone,

1344
01:34:11.039 --> 01:34:16.760
someone please photoshop Phil Spencer as Craven
the Hunter. Okay, I already

1345
01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:23.279
happened for Xbox weirdos. All right, let's see here there's more U Phil

1346
01:34:23.319 --> 01:34:25.560
Spencer and Mike Stoff. We're getting
a tindo and then the next story.

1347
01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:30.239
Dishonored three and more showed up in
a leaked game list from Zinni Max zinny

1348
01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:34.000
Max's management forecast. This is pre
COVID, so a lot of these things

1349
01:34:34.000 --> 01:34:36.960
have been delayed. But if you
look at it, you'll see stuff like

1350
01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:41.319
Dishonored three, a new Doom game, and remasters of the Elder Scrolls,

1351
01:34:41.359 --> 01:34:45.720
Oblivion and follow three. We now
know that that remaster of Oblivion is happening,

1352
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:49.399
so that this list is still red
mostly probably very relevant. But at

1353
01:34:49.399 --> 01:34:53.159
one time they're like, we're gonna
put out Starfield in like heim, we

1354
01:34:53.199 --> 01:34:55.239
see if I can make this big
enough for me to actually read it.

1355
01:34:55.279 --> 01:34:58.279
Starfield was going to come out in
fiscal year twenty one, and then the

1356
01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:00.920
Elder Scrolls six was gonna come out
in go year twenty four, and well,

1357
01:35:00.960 --> 01:35:04.159
we know that's definitely not going to
happen now, but that's the kind

1358
01:35:04.159 --> 01:35:08.560
of thing that they were looking at
doing. And these other games on here,

1359
01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:11.039
most of them have come out or
we do know about. And then

1360
01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:14.439
there's the handful of like Fallout three
remaster, which is probably one of the

1361
01:35:14.640 --> 01:35:17.399
ways that they're going to try to
keep Fallout relevant. It says Ghost Wire

1362
01:35:17.479 --> 01:35:28.319
Tokyo sequel. Yeah, I mean
I thought that was Immortal Slam. That's

1363
01:35:28.359 --> 01:35:34.399
what it's reminded me of. All
the stuff did much better than Immortals of

1364
01:35:34.439 --> 01:35:40.960
Avum. That Ghost had a much
better style too. I think, well,

1365
01:35:41.000 --> 01:35:43.439
no, it's just all the hand
jazz, you know. Yeah,

1366
01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:46.880
there's a ton of like weird sign
language looking stuff almost in a way,

1367
01:35:46.880 --> 01:35:53.520
which is pretty interesting this man,
I mean start again, it's American and

1368
01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:56.920
all we were like string stuff too. Did you notice that, like remember

1369
01:35:56.920 --> 01:36:01.199
those games where like peoples play with
a string and with lies of p and

1370
01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:08.000
sync is getting back together? Oh, cut the check fail? What's happening.

1371
01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:12.640
I'm just trying. I'm just trying
to have cut the check go over

1372
01:36:12.720 --> 01:36:19.399
as my new catchphrase. It's handful, you know, maybe this go ghost

1373
01:36:19.479 --> 01:36:23.720
wire, like hopefully they do,
like do it again and like just like

1374
01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:28.520
better right, Like I'd be okay
with that. They're something before that happened

1375
01:36:28.520 --> 01:36:31.560
before. Yeah, if the sequel
does a big improvement, that's normal for

1376
01:36:31.600 --> 01:36:34.840
gaming at this point because like getting
a team together and making a new game

1377
01:36:35.159 --> 01:36:39.680
hard is almost always going to have
result in about a seven point five out

1378
01:36:39.680 --> 01:36:44.479
of ten. It takes so much
work to like get something like across the

1379
01:36:44.479 --> 01:36:46.079
finish line, the idea that you're
going to be good at everything as well.

1380
01:36:46.159 --> 01:36:48.399
It's like no, but the second
game, maybe you can bring that

1381
01:36:48.439 --> 01:36:54.399
stuff together two Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I mean an Assassin's Creed too.

1382
01:36:54.399 --> 01:36:56.640
I think it's the one I always
think of where it's like Assassin's Creed

1383
01:36:56.720 --> 01:37:00.279
is and then Assassin's Creed two is
very very good too, the best first

1384
01:37:00.279 --> 01:37:03.640
person shooter of all time. This
is just a joke I'm gonna keep saying,

1385
01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:05.960
and everyone in chat is gonna assume
I'm not joking, and it's gonna

1386
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:12.199
be really fun for me chat.
Uh So, yeah, this this leak

1387
01:37:12.319 --> 01:37:14.640
was was huge. There's still more
stuff coming up, but this was the

1388
01:37:14.680 --> 01:37:18.680
stuff I was able to gather up
before the show this morning. I don't

1389
01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:21.640
know what, like, there's gonna
be any fallout from any of this in

1390
01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:27.439
terms of people, you know,
the Microsoft partners with getting mad at Microsoft

1391
01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:31.239
for making this big booboo or whatever
something like that. Or Nintendo's relationship with

1392
01:37:31.279 --> 01:37:33.960
nintend or with the Microsoft is going
to be like more frosty or whatever.

1393
01:37:34.000 --> 01:37:36.359
It's like you were going to try
to buy us, You're gonna talk about

1394
01:37:36.439 --> 01:37:40.479
hostile takeovers. I don't know.
I think most people are gonna be just

1395
01:37:40.520 --> 01:37:43.520
assume it's business. Is normal to
me. The big thing here is the

1396
01:37:43.560 --> 01:37:45.840
next Xbox being an arm based thing. Very strange. I kind of want

1397
01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:48.119
to see what that's actually gonna end
up. Looking like i'd wear it on

1398
01:37:48.319 --> 01:37:53.720
arms, you would you're gonna look
like a very cool dude, like like

1399
01:37:53.840 --> 01:37:58.920
Jack so cool. Yeah, all
right, so let's see here. Starfield

1400
01:37:59.039 --> 01:38:01.359
is a salesman, get hit.
Starfield is the fifth fastest selling game in

1401
01:38:01.399 --> 01:38:04.479
Europe this year based on its launch
week performance. It is also the biggest

1402
01:38:04.560 --> 01:38:10.000
Xbox launch this generation in Europe,
ahead of Forts the Horizon five. The

1403
01:38:10.079 --> 01:38:13.960
data does not take into account early
access or game pass sales, but if

1404
01:38:14.000 --> 01:38:16.199
you line up week one sales for
all these games this year in Europe,

1405
01:38:16.399 --> 01:38:18.720
Hogwarts, Legacy, Diablo four,
The Legends, All the Tears in the

1406
01:38:18.760 --> 01:38:24.119
Kingdom, and Star Wars Jetta Survivor
all performed better than Starfield, but Starfield

1407
01:38:24.159 --> 01:38:27.760
is ahead of Residumeable four, Final
Fantasy sixteen F one twenty three, Dead

1408
01:38:27.800 --> 01:38:30.840
Island two, NBA two K twenty
three, and most of the other games

1409
01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:33.439
on this list are not on game
Pass. So even despite being on game

1410
01:38:33.479 --> 01:38:38.720
Pass, a lot of people showed
up to purchase this game, And even

1411
01:38:38.760 --> 01:38:41.359
if you take out early access stuff, which is everyone buying that game for

1412
01:38:41.399 --> 01:38:45.880
one hundred dollars. Kind of like, you know, I think the becko

1413
01:38:45.960 --> 01:38:47.640
you were saying, like you heard
like people outside in public at like a

1414
01:38:47.640 --> 01:38:50.119
soccer game right, kind of talking
shit about the game. I think that

1415
01:38:50.359 --> 01:38:58.000
Starfield is one of those one for
a kind of space. It was supposed

1416
01:38:58.039 --> 01:39:00.960
to go out there. You are
not that far away. I mean.

1417
01:39:02.479 --> 01:39:06.359
At the same time, like they
did make good points, I thought like

1418
01:39:06.399 --> 01:39:11.840
I didn't engage. I didn't really
know them. Mud. This is like

1419
01:39:13.359 --> 01:39:16.680
like Baldish gayo, Baldish gates.
What I'm playing. I'm supposed to get

1420
01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:21.039
my slut on. I want to
be a space slot in this game's limiting

1421
01:39:21.119 --> 01:39:26.319
me. Uh will definitely let you
be a slut. So like there,

1422
01:39:26.319 --> 01:39:30.920
you're definitely I'm more excited for I
like to I want to be a little

1423
01:39:30.960 --> 01:39:36.640
puppet boy. Okay, sorry,
go ahead, that's awesome. All right,

1424
01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.680
let's see your. Unity's changes to
its reviled install fee plan leak ahead

1425
01:39:42.680 --> 01:39:47.079
of announcement. Unity has backtracked on
its controversial install fee policy following a backlash

1426
01:39:47.199 --> 01:39:53.159
from every single game developer on the
planet. The new policy will limit fees

1427
01:39:53.239 --> 01:39:57.800
to four percent of a game's revenue
over one million dollars. Installations will no

1428
01:39:57.840 --> 01:40:01.880
longer be retroactive, and Unity rely
on users to self report installation data.

1429
01:40:02.279 --> 01:40:06.039
Unity CEO Johenre Caatello acknowledged that the
company could have done a lot of things

1430
01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:14.199
better. Hey does Unity three?
Does Unity actually make a Unity game?

1431
01:40:15.239 --> 01:40:18.680
No, clearly they make it like
a Disunity product now at this point,

1432
01:40:18.720 --> 01:40:21.760
but they don't make anything that's called
It's not like Unreal, like where there's

1433
01:40:21.760 --> 01:40:25.600
the Unreal game or anything like that. Okay, because I was gonna say,

1434
01:40:25.640 --> 01:40:29.279
we should just like fire up the
Unity game and just constantly refresh it.

1435
01:40:30.680 --> 01:40:33.720
There you go, Yes, work
yourself. The phrase they used in

1436
01:40:33.800 --> 01:40:40.840
the apology tweet was like, we're
sorry for the confusion and angstallate like listening

1437
01:40:40.880 --> 01:40:45.199
to my chemical romance because all these
indie devs are getting fucked over. Like

1438
01:40:45.279 --> 01:40:47.720
yeah, man, absolutely, those
are the two emotions I can think of

1439
01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:54.359
when I saw the response to this, bonettit ass decision great, it's who

1440
01:40:54.399 --> 01:40:58.600
does this? So why would you
do this? I mean, the only

1441
01:40:58.640 --> 01:41:00.960
explanation here continues to be that this
is a company that desperately needs money.

1442
01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:03.880
They have a ton of debt,
and they they don't have a lot of

1443
01:41:03.880 --> 01:41:08.079
path forward for growth, and they
tried a bunch of stuff nothing's really worked,

1444
01:41:08.359 --> 01:41:12.119
and now they're they might as well
commit supuku. Yes, And that's

1445
01:41:12.239 --> 01:41:15.600
definitely what they've done because no one
wants to work with him anymore. They

1446
01:41:15.680 --> 01:41:17.039
might as well like go out there
and get a sword and do them to

1447
01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:25.720
what needs to be done, because
because this is what is, because like

1448
01:41:25.920 --> 01:41:28.920
no one like if you're making a
game today, I just don't see anyone

1449
01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:30.119
being like, well, I'm gonna
go with you, like that's gonna be

1450
01:41:30.159 --> 01:41:32.479
a good thing. Five years from
now when I'm releasing this game, that'll

1451
01:41:32.520 --> 01:41:35.720
be something I can trust will be
there and we'll have my back. Like

1452
01:41:35.840 --> 01:41:39.680
no way, this is They're done. I think they're cooked. They didn't

1453
01:41:39.720 --> 01:41:45.000
to themselves. I can't remember a
more. I can't remember more a recent

1454
01:41:45.039 --> 01:41:51.800
example of someone more like instantaneously just
reversing all goodwill just completely. I think

1455
01:41:51.960 --> 01:41:58.880
maybe Drew Barrymore is my best.
That whole arc was amazing. I'm like

1456
01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:02.039
she managed to recover from it.
I don't think Unity can no. I

1457
01:42:02.039 --> 01:42:06.800
think I think they have not managed
to figure a way to one eight.

1458
01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:13.720
This absolute stupid shit they've pulled because
they are still trying to mostly get away

1459
01:42:13.720 --> 01:42:16.760
with it here, like they still
want to be like charge people for charge

1460
01:42:16.800 --> 01:42:19.640
developers for having people install your game, and they're like, yeah, we're

1461
01:42:19.640 --> 01:42:23.399
gonna have all these limits on it, but those limits could go off over

1462
01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:26.359
time. No one, no one's
gonna trust them on this. So uh

1463
01:42:26.640 --> 01:42:30.039
yeah, they're they're in a tough
situation in terms of ever turning this around,

1464
01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:31.720
and they're not even trying that hard
to turn it around. Really.

1465
01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:34.159
They still think this is the only
way that they're going to be able to

1466
01:42:34.199 --> 01:42:39.880
survive, and good luck with that. Unity, let's see. Nintendo started

1467
01:42:39.920 --> 01:42:43.840
talking to Activision about the switch to
last year. Nintendo briefed Activision Blizzard on

1468
01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:47.039
plans for its next gen console in
December twenty twenty two. Activision expected the

1469
01:42:47.039 --> 01:42:51.439
console's performance to be comparable to the
PS four and Xbox One. That's before

1470
01:42:51.479 --> 01:42:55.279
all the DLSS magic, so that's
going to be the raw power in terms

1471
01:42:55.319 --> 01:42:59.800
of performance. However, Activision CEO
Boby Kotta claimed July twenty twenty three that

1472
01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:04.840
Activision was unaware of the specifications for
specifications for the Nintendo's next console. Uh,

1473
01:43:05.279 --> 01:43:08.960
he probably is, just like,
I don't know what processors in there,

1474
01:43:09.039 --> 01:43:12.199
but I think he probably does know
it's generally around a PS four or

1475
01:43:12.319 --> 01:43:15.520
Xbox one, which is I think
what everyone's kind of expecting in terms of

1476
01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:18.640
a handheld from Nintendo coming from h
the same company that made the Switch that

1477
01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:21.920
had relatively outdated mobile hardware when it
launched. That's probably going to be the

1478
01:43:21.920 --> 01:43:26.560
same case or the switch to.
Uh, we do hear about this thing,

1479
01:43:26.560 --> 01:43:29.159
probably pretty soon, so we're not
We're gonna have to wait like so

1480
01:43:29.279 --> 01:43:32.039
much more long longer before we find
out what this thing is capable of.

1481
01:43:32.680 --> 01:43:34.800
But for now, I don't know. Do you guys have any like high

1482
01:43:34.800 --> 01:43:39.039
hopes for switch to in terms of
being able to play games much better than

1483
01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:41.880
it can? Like, is anyone
here hoping, Hey, that thing I

1484
01:43:41.920 --> 01:43:45.119
wanted to be able to play four
K games on my TV? No?

1485
01:43:45.119 --> 01:43:48.800
No, I don't expect it to, do you. I guess that's the

1486
01:43:48.840 --> 01:43:53.720
one big question mark, Like do
you think it'll make that four K jump?

1487
01:43:53.760 --> 01:43:56.279
Because didn't they still be put in
four K? Right? But it's

1488
01:43:56.319 --> 01:44:00.239
not going to render or anything in
four Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I

1489
01:44:00.239 --> 01:44:05.479
guess it's it's fo Yeah. I'm
not gonna take my Hundai Sonata racing and

1490
01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:08.920
be like, why won't it go
so fast? That's not what it's for.

1491
01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:15.600
It's for my little Celda games.
Yeah, that's left. Wow.

1492
01:44:15.880 --> 01:44:21.960
Switch card cartridge slot cats. Yeah, that's it's got really good like latency.

1493
01:44:23.119 --> 01:44:26.319
Yes, I'm trying to think of
one single gaming word one even what

1494
01:44:26.960 --> 01:44:34.239
it's got blast processing? That really
nice? Tannin's I don't know. Uh,

1495
01:44:34.560 --> 01:44:38.800
yeah, it's they'll probably output in
four K. They're not going to

1496
01:44:38.880 --> 01:44:42.840
render anything in four K. Maybe
a couple of games with like DLSS would

1497
01:44:42.840 --> 01:44:45.319
be like, yeah, we can
put out in forty four K and thirty

1498
01:44:45.319 --> 01:44:48.319
frames per second. That's gonna be
right few and far between, and most

1499
01:44:48.319 --> 01:44:51.960
people are not even going to notice
or care about that difference. Nintendo games

1500
01:44:53.000 --> 01:44:56.600
will probably continue to be ten eighty
on TV and seven twenty on handheld.

1501
01:44:56.920 --> 01:45:00.319
Maybe they increase the resolution on the
screen for the hand held. I that's

1502
01:45:00.359 --> 01:45:02.680
kind of a headache because they got
all these seven twenty P games for the

1503
01:45:02.720 --> 01:45:05.319
switch. You might as well just
keep it because a ten ADP screen for

1504
01:45:05.399 --> 01:45:09.640
that's like seven or eight inches is
not that much better than a seven twenty

1505
01:45:09.640 --> 01:45:14.279
P screen at seven or eight inches. Back, go ahead, I guess

1506
01:45:14.279 --> 01:45:16.520
out of the gate. You know, even I even remember when the when

1507
01:45:16.600 --> 01:45:21.840
we were at that you know,
New York Switch launch event many many years

1508
01:45:21.840 --> 01:45:25.880
ago, and the first thing realizing
like, oh the bezel on this thing

1509
01:45:25.920 --> 01:45:29.720
is pretty substantial, I think out
of the gate, Like, I'm I'm

1510
01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:33.479
optimistic that that stuff won't be as
glaring of an issue. But I guess

1511
01:45:33.479 --> 01:45:36.880
there's really not that many things from
the portable experience that need to be that

1512
01:45:38.000 --> 01:45:41.119
much better, right, Like they
it's pretty much gonna be the same thing,

1513
01:45:41.239 --> 01:45:43.119
right, I mean what they don't
need to change much at all.

1514
01:45:44.439 --> 01:45:47.239
I guess, you know, you
improve the Joycon controllers or whatever, maybe

1515
01:45:47.279 --> 01:45:51.199
introduced entirely new controllers so that you
could just leave the Joycon name behind,

1516
01:45:51.239 --> 01:45:56.079
because that's sort of been somewhat tainted. Yeah outside of that, yeah,

1517
01:45:56.600 --> 01:46:00.560
yeah, that's literally Like I feel
like I hear so many complaints about the

1518
01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:03.920
way the Switch runs, and that's
just not something I've personally experienced. I

1519
01:46:03.920 --> 01:46:06.960
feel like sometimes like I'm living in
an alternate reality. Like if I complain

1520
01:46:08.000 --> 01:46:10.800
about Balder's gate bugs and then I
get yelled at like they have no bugs,

1521
01:46:10.800 --> 01:46:14.760
I'm like, they listed it's very
buggy. What are you talking about?

1522
01:46:14.800 --> 01:46:17.920
But with Switch, I've never really
encountered any problems. I think just

1523
01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:20.640
because I'm like, if I'm going
to play like a huge fucking mega game

1524
01:46:20.680 --> 01:46:25.520
that's available on another console. I'll
play it on that other console, and

1525
01:46:25.520 --> 01:46:30.039
then the switches for it's my Tetris
ninety nine system. It's where I played

1526
01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:31.920
my Tetris ninety nine. I think
the one time I've had a hard crash

1527
01:46:32.199 --> 01:46:38.560
was playing uh Wolfenstein on the switch. Oh, play it on something else

1528
01:46:38.680 --> 01:46:44.279
exactly. Yeah, I mean,
I definitely think like to see something like

1529
01:46:44.479 --> 01:46:46.239
the Zelda game running at sixty would
be amazing. I mean, I think

1530
01:46:46.279 --> 01:46:50.680
there's a lot of stuff that could
get better. But yes, it's completely

1531
01:46:50.720 --> 01:46:55.239
serviceable and it is not in any
way like a deal breaker by anything.

1532
01:46:55.560 --> 01:47:00.640
Activision Blizzard hasn't had a ton of
Switch games. They've had a few.

1533
01:47:00.800 --> 01:47:05.000
I haven't had a ton, though, and uh body Cotic on the stand

1534
01:47:05.239 --> 01:47:11.800
during the Activision Microsoft merger deal with
the FTC. He said, Hey,

1535
01:47:11.840 --> 01:47:14.640
I regret not supporting the switch.
More in fact, I regret not having

1536
01:47:14.680 --> 01:47:16.800
call of duty on the switch in
some form because we missed out on a

1537
01:47:16.840 --> 01:47:19.520
lot of money. We missed,
we miss judge what the switch would be,

1538
01:47:19.600 --> 01:47:23.359
and then we got behind. Yes, exactly all nuts. I should

1539
01:47:23.359 --> 01:47:27.520
I could have made more money.
So so Nintendo going there and giving this

1540
01:47:27.560 --> 01:47:31.199
presentation pretty early on it probably trying
to win over Activision. That probably will

1541
01:47:31.239 --> 01:47:34.680
be more effective. But I still
wonder how third party games like Call of

1542
01:47:34.720 --> 01:47:38.159
Duty is going to come to Switch, because that's what Microsoft is they're going

1543
01:47:38.199 --> 01:47:41.159
to do. Is anyone going to
care because not a lot of people cared.

1544
01:47:41.279 --> 01:47:44.640
I mean it ran bad Apex Legends, but the Apex Legends didn't doesn't

1545
01:47:44.640 --> 01:47:47.000
make a ton of money on the
Switch for examples. So be curious to

1546
01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:51.000
see what support looks like from a
company like Activision. Uh, they're gonna

1547
01:47:51.000 --> 01:47:55.359
put Wow, They're gonna pull Wow
on the Switch. That's it. Yes,

1548
01:47:55.600 --> 01:47:58.359
no other console, just the Switch. I would like that. That'd

1549
01:47:58.359 --> 01:48:01.479
be very fun to see. Uh
all right. Hades two Early accesses launching

1550
01:48:01.560 --> 01:48:06.600
next year. I'm very excited of
the sequel in twenty game is scheduled to

1551
01:48:06.640 --> 01:48:10.399
release in early access in Q two
twenty twenty four. It will be a

1552
01:48:10.399 --> 01:48:14.359
both on Steam and Epic Games.
This time. Technical test will precede the

1553
01:48:14.399 --> 01:48:15.720
early access launch though, so we
will be able to get our hands on

1554
01:48:15.760 --> 01:48:18.760
a little bit before that. The
full game will be released after the early

1555
01:48:18.800 --> 01:48:24.359
access period, which will include more
content and updates, as they are wont

1556
01:48:24.399 --> 01:48:28.399
to do with these early access games. So excited me too. I like,

1557
01:48:28.600 --> 01:48:30.279
someone mentioned this new story the other
day and I was like gripping my

1558
01:48:30.319 --> 01:48:31.960
chair because I was like, wait, us it out now. Because they

1559
01:48:31.960 --> 01:48:36.079
originally said it would be out in
early access this year. Obviously we knew

1560
01:48:36.079 --> 01:48:39.760
that wasn't really going to happen as
we got kind of later and later into

1561
01:48:39.800 --> 01:48:43.359
the calendar. But Q two twenty
twenty four, I'm gonna be there.

1562
01:48:43.399 --> 01:48:46.720
Hades two is one of my most
anticipated games by far, so this will

1563
01:48:46.760 --> 01:48:49.960
be great. Finally, there was
the State of Play in the Nintendo Direct.

1564
01:48:50.239 --> 01:48:53.960
Just to highlights here from the State
of Play, Final Fantasy seven Rebirth

1565
01:48:54.000 --> 01:48:58.600
got a February twenty ninth release date. There's that Spider Man footage Tam talked

1566
01:48:58.600 --> 01:49:01.079
all about by actually playing it though, so good. There Resident Evil four

1567
01:49:01.199 --> 01:49:05.359
Separate Ways DLC is due out in
like two days from when we're recording this

1568
01:49:05.520 --> 01:49:11.319
September twenty Feet Roadblocks is coming to
PS four and PS five on October tenth.

1569
01:49:11.319 --> 01:49:14.680
Hell Divers twos it's gonna be PS
four and then it'll run on PS

1570
01:49:14.760 --> 01:49:17.600
five. Hell Divers two is launching
on February eighth, and Foam Stars is

1571
01:49:17.600 --> 01:49:21.239
getting an open beta on September twenty
nine. We talked over that thing.

1572
01:49:21.359 --> 01:49:25.079
We gave our opinions on already,
so if you want to see us react

1573
01:49:25.079 --> 01:49:30.000
to that, that's available on the
site for the Nintendo Direct paper. Mario

1574
01:49:30.079 --> 01:49:32.319
the Thousand Year Door HD is coming
in twenty twenty four. That was exciting.

1575
01:49:32.640 --> 01:49:36.199
A reimagining of Mario versus Donkey Kong
the Game Boy Advanced Game is coming

1576
01:49:36.279 --> 01:49:42.079
February sixteenth, fzero ninety nine.
Shadow dropped. Princess Peach Showtime is coming

1577
01:49:42.119 --> 01:49:45.880
March twenty second, or birthday,
with Peach in a detective outfit a bunch

1578
01:49:45.920 --> 01:49:48.359
more. It looked great. There's
a tumb Raider one two and three remaster.

1579
01:49:48.560 --> 01:49:53.680
Another Code Recollection is a bremaster of
those two games, Trace Memory and

1580
01:49:53.720 --> 01:49:59.319
another Code r and then Unicorn Overlord
is a new tactics RPG from Vanilla Ware

1581
01:50:00.239 --> 01:50:03.399
that looked very, very promising as
well. Ah, that doesn't for the

1582
01:50:03.399 --> 01:50:06.720
news, jan I'm handing the show
back over to you. Here we stand

1583
01:50:08.399 --> 01:50:15.479
World's apart, Heart's broken in two
two two, sleepless sleepless nights, losing

1584
01:50:15.520 --> 01:50:21.199
ground. I'm reaching for you,
you you. It's the lyrics of Separate

1585
01:50:21.199 --> 01:50:28.600
Ways, you know, beautiful movie
bribe, separate man, I touched me

1586
01:50:28.760 --> 01:50:32.600
and the journey that I've been on
with journey, huh breaks my heart all

1587
01:50:32.640 --> 01:50:36.079
the time. Sure, I just
I didn't recognize it as journey because you

1588
01:50:36.119 --> 01:50:42.159
were performing at like slam poetry.
Man. I hate being part of the

1589
01:50:42.159 --> 01:50:45.000
ten percent of Filipinos. I can't
fucking thing anyway. It's completely unfair.

1590
01:50:45.359 --> 01:50:49.239
It's really pulled the bed straw there, budd. You know I got everything

1591
01:50:49.239 --> 01:50:55.119
else except a nursing degree. It's
fine I talked about. I'm just thinking

1592
01:50:55.119 --> 01:50:58.159
of my own inadequacies that I've built
into my own self now. So it's

1593
01:50:58.199 --> 01:51:00.199
okay. I'm gonna take quick,
pricky break in I'll read some emails from

1594
01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:08.359
the fine folks at home. Right
after this. I can't stop thinking about

1595
01:51:08.399 --> 01:51:11.399
the Muppets. We weren't even talking
about the Muppets during break. We were

1596
01:51:11.399 --> 01:51:18.039
talking about a separate group of puppets, but like Pumper related adjacent Muppet adjacent

1597
01:51:18.159 --> 01:51:20.920
man perfet the frog? What's he? OPTU? Is he? Okay?

1598
01:51:21.039 --> 01:51:25.079
Is he a right? I think
you can just message Lucy on slack.

1599
01:51:25.640 --> 01:51:32.439
Yeah, yeah, I did go
to the Muppet theater thing at Disney That

1600
01:51:32.560 --> 01:51:35.760
was very good. I'll say,
yeah, oh you saw Muppet Vision.

1601
01:51:36.119 --> 01:51:40.520
I did. That's the best thing. When they got rid of that in

1602
01:51:40.560 --> 01:51:44.319
Disneyland, I pitched a fit.
That's the only thing I've been upset about

1603
01:51:44.439 --> 01:51:47.920
ever. Oh that's interesting. I
think, like, I don't know.

1604
01:51:48.119 --> 01:51:51.479
I was sitting in front row,
and I think, like, the one

1605
01:51:53.000 --> 01:51:58.880
part of that story that is tragically
stupid is just like the three D cartoon

1606
01:51:59.039 --> 01:52:01.720
that they create in the like the
cartoon character. I hate that little fucking

1607
01:52:01.720 --> 01:52:04.520
thing. I think it's really stupid. You're supposed to like him. I

1608
01:52:04.560 --> 01:52:09.239
think he's supposed to be unlikable.
Yeah, and like three D sucks,

1609
01:52:09.239 --> 01:52:14.800
and this is a representation of three
D manifested right. Mike helped me out.

1610
01:52:14.840 --> 01:52:17.680
I guess the thing's name is Waldo
or whatever the fuck. And the

1611
01:52:17.680 --> 01:52:21.880
effect is so strong in the first
row that like, I found myself cross

1612
01:52:21.920 --> 01:52:26.520
eyed a lot, and I was
just sort of like, this feels bad.

1613
01:52:26.600 --> 01:52:29.760
I'm here for the air conditioning and
entertainment. Right, you close your

1614
01:52:29.760 --> 01:52:31.760
eyes, you take a da bubbles. Oh. I closed my eyes through

1615
01:52:31.800 --> 01:52:35.479
about half of it. But nevertheless, I enjoyed it. I'm just there

1616
01:52:35.479 --> 01:52:39.840
to hear Sam Eagles say a salute. To all nations, but mostly America.

1617
01:52:41.600 --> 01:52:46.720
Line in Disney. Oh Sam,
it's good. Yeah, you scandalous,

1618
01:52:46.720 --> 01:52:51.920
you scammed level, it's great.
Dan is just Gonzo, right,

1619
01:52:53.680 --> 01:52:59.199
yes, yes, from another planet. Doesn't realize it. Gonzo's an alien.

1620
01:53:00.119 --> 01:53:02.119
Yeah, yeah, I don't think
I knew that. I don't think

1621
01:53:02.159 --> 01:53:04.960
I knew. I don't think I
knew that. What are our muppets?

1622
01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:09.199
I feel like I'm Statler and Waldorf, both of them. Yes, if

1623
01:53:09.239 --> 01:53:12.239
you're both of them? Okay,
tons off of each other in an individual

1624
01:53:12.640 --> 01:53:14.800
Wait, I got it. I
feel like who else am I supposed to

1625
01:53:14.840 --> 01:53:17.800
identify with? If not those two
freaks. You could be the Buzzer No,

1626
01:53:17.800 --> 01:53:19.880
no, no, she could be
Statler, he could be Waldorf.

1627
01:53:20.960 --> 01:53:24.159
You could be Oscar the ground.
Now it sounds like a Jewish joke,

1628
01:53:24.239 --> 01:53:30.920
but that's fine. I think a
little bit. Wow you because I heckle.

1629
01:53:31.760 --> 01:53:35.520
No, but Oscar the Grouches is
not a muppet. He's the Sesame

1630
01:53:35.560 --> 01:53:41.279
Street again, muppet adjacent. Yeah, talks in corporation. Yeah, yeah,

1631
01:53:41.479 --> 01:53:45.399
I want to keep it outside of
Sesame Street if we could. But

1632
01:53:45.479 --> 01:53:47.039
yes, Oscar makes sense. Yeah, I'll be I'll be the sweetish chef.

1633
01:53:47.079 --> 01:53:51.520
That's that works for me that I
don't want to be got to be

1634
01:53:51.560 --> 01:53:58.039
the Kermit Sorry boy, sorry,
got very use Those are muppets. They

1635
01:53:58.079 --> 01:54:00.119
were all made by Jim Henson,
all the same characters. All right,

1636
01:54:01.760 --> 01:54:06.039
Then I could be motherfucking Raphael.
Then I guess because that too is a

1637
01:54:06.159 --> 01:54:12.479
Jim Henson creation. Like that's a
bit different, you know, it's different.

1638
01:54:13.159 --> 01:54:16.840
Bye, I don't want to.
I don't want to come to the

1639
01:54:16.880 --> 01:54:21.119
realization like I like doing this fantasy
casting stuff. Oh, Mike just messed

1640
01:54:21.159 --> 01:54:26.319
up through camera. Yeah, unbelievable
when it comes to properties, because I'm

1641
01:54:26.359 --> 01:54:28.720
like, oh, that's fun.
What do people think? Am? But

1642
01:54:28.800 --> 01:54:30.439
someone once said when I brought this
question up a long time ago, that

1643
01:54:30.560 --> 01:54:34.560
I'm the what's his fucking name?
I'm the scooter of the crew, And

1644
01:54:34.560 --> 01:54:44.560
that just the meanest thing anyone say
over here. Oh God is because I

1645
01:54:44.600 --> 01:54:47.039
do have hold the clever and I
make sure it's going. You got the

1646
01:54:47.359 --> 01:54:51.760
classes even kind of like, yeah, there is we're almost the same shade

1647
01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:57.720
of brown. I know there is
a Is there a band number that you

1648
01:54:57.840 --> 01:55:02.399
remind me of? No, I'll
I'd rather take Rolf. I'd take Yeah,

1649
01:55:03.039 --> 01:55:08.039
let's go with that. I take
secret piano player. I love it.

1650
01:55:08.800 --> 01:55:13.279
I've anyway bobcasting giant bomb dot com. It's the place to send your

1651
01:55:13.319 --> 01:55:18.640
emails to any most fart of the
show, there's an email show. I'm

1652
01:55:18.680 --> 01:55:26.680
not Scooter h BombCast bomb dot com. God damn it's true. Uh hey,

1653
01:55:26.760 --> 01:55:30.119
Muppet Babies the original one still a
banger of a show. Archive dot

1654
01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:32.760
org if you want to watch that
ship. That is the first place that

1655
01:55:32.800 --> 01:55:38.119
I learned about Star Wars. So, oh yeah, the Buppet Baby episode.

1656
01:55:38.199 --> 01:55:42.239
Yeah, what was that? Bailing? Great? I'm sorry, that's

1657
01:55:42.279 --> 01:55:45.920
just really good. That's like the
first time that I heard the one song

1658
01:55:45.960 --> 01:55:49.640
that's the Charmed theme song was as
the Charmed theme song. Oh god,

1659
01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:58.600
you know the one? Yes I
do farm Hereman and Arnie love that one.

1660
01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:03.039
Yes, yeah, okay. I
also learned about RoboCop at first because

1661
01:56:03.039 --> 01:56:08.600
of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Sure
Robomunk, I think is what they named

1662
01:56:08.680 --> 01:56:13.119
him. It was not as graphic
as the actual movie anyways, but not

1663
01:56:13.199 --> 01:56:20.600
quite. First email comes from Terrell
from is PA Philadelphia. Who knows?

1664
01:56:20.840 --> 01:56:25.199
I mean, yeah, you know
that in Pittsburgh and I don't know nothing

1665
01:56:25.279 --> 01:56:32.199
but California and New York. You
don't know what the You don't know one

1666
01:56:32.239 --> 01:56:35.079
of me? Don't You don't even
tried fight? Wait for real, you

1667
01:56:35.119 --> 01:56:40.199
don't know. I don't know where
shit is? No, no, I'm

1668
01:56:40.199 --> 01:56:45.399
asking about the two letter abbreviations.
Oh I in Pennsylvania is never top of

1669
01:56:45.399 --> 01:56:50.479
mind for me, No offense.
I don't worry about what's CT Connecticut?

1670
01:56:51.000 --> 01:56:57.119
Yeah? Okay, what's m O
Misssouri? That's what I was. Yeah,

1671
01:56:57.199 --> 01:57:03.960
I think. Yeah, the two
coastal elite millennials don't know shit anything.

1672
01:57:04.600 --> 01:57:08.560
If you would ask either of us
what a septic septic tank is,

1673
01:57:08.640 --> 01:57:13.279
I don't I can't answer you.
I'm so busy living within striking distance of

1674
01:57:13.279 --> 01:57:18.439
the beach, you know, right, Yeah, well wait, actual ocean

1675
01:57:18.520 --> 01:57:26.560
beach. Shit. Shit, my
beach is literally called ocean beach. That's

1676
01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:30.039
amazing, all right. First email
comes from Terrell. Hey everyone, I

1677
01:57:30.079 --> 01:57:33.399
know console wars have always been a
thing, but it seems within the last

1678
01:57:33.439 --> 01:57:39.359
five to eight years it's reached a
fever pitch of toxicity and negativity. Because

1679
01:57:39.359 --> 01:57:45.840
of this space I'm making. Because
of this I am making a conscious choice

1680
01:57:45.079 --> 01:57:50.439
to drastically pull back from engaging with
the gaming community and industry. I'm tired

1681
01:57:50.479 --> 01:57:56.239
of hearing about Nintendo having kiddie games, PlayStation games being movies, or Xbox

1682
01:57:56.279 --> 01:58:00.079
somehow being in trouble because Starfield was
not was only one of the biggest releases

1683
01:58:00.119 --> 01:58:03.079
of the year. I'll play my
games in peace and that's okay. Uh

1684
01:58:03.359 --> 01:58:09.279
smiley face emoticon. Have you ever
pulled back from me hobby or interest because

1685
01:58:09.279 --> 01:58:12.880
of the community or personalities within said
hobby. Thanks for everything. So we're

1686
01:58:12.880 --> 01:58:17.479
all from pa send from my iPhone. I think it's I think I probably

1687
01:58:17.520 --> 01:58:20.319
have a little bit, But it
turns out the real solution is just get

1688
01:58:20.399 --> 01:58:25.680
off because this is all happening on
YouTube and Twitter, these places where people

1689
01:58:25.720 --> 01:58:28.720
get rewarded for this kind of behavior. Yeah, like like they like,

1690
01:58:28.840 --> 01:58:31.079
YouTube is monetized. It has turned
into a business. It's a cottage industry

1691
01:58:31.279 --> 01:58:34.119
to be someone who stirs up the
console wars and you can make a good

1692
01:58:34.119 --> 01:58:38.479
living doing that. A lot of
money you can be made by being that

1693
01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:41.600
person. So of course we're getting
more of it than ever because it's it's

1694
01:58:41.920 --> 01:58:45.279
you're you're being incentivized to do that. So there's never been a better time

1695
01:58:45.319 --> 01:58:48.159
to be a huge piece of shit. Exactly. Yes, it's really rewarded.

1696
01:58:48.199 --> 01:58:51.199
For it now it is, so
I just stay off in those parts

1697
01:58:51.199 --> 01:58:55.079
of YouTube. I I blocked the
people on Twitter who behave that way,

1698
01:58:55.319 --> 01:58:58.359
and that's the real solution for me. I get like, if like it

1699
01:58:58.359 --> 01:59:00.880
bums you out in general, and
you're like, is kind of tainting the

1700
01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:03.000
whole exercise. I don't blame you. I get it, sure, I

1701
01:59:03.000 --> 01:59:08.680
mean it makes perfect sense. Like
I you know, I've I've not felt

1702
01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:12.800
this because I just don't. I've
like, I've put on blinders to it

1703
01:59:12.920 --> 01:59:16.279
for so many years that I that
I don't like feel it the weight of

1704
01:59:16.319 --> 01:59:20.199
it as I did maybe ten years
ago. So you can there are tools

1705
01:59:20.199 --> 01:59:24.600
in place for you to not experience
this. Have I ever left a hobby

1706
01:59:24.640 --> 01:59:27.560
because of the toxicity of it with
it? I don't think so. Man,

1707
01:59:27.640 --> 01:59:29.760
that's a really sad thing. I
don't. I don't think I've ever

1708
01:59:29.800 --> 01:59:34.920
had that certain Yeah, I feel
like there's just certain online spaces I don't

1709
01:59:34.960 --> 01:59:39.800
engage with. Like I'm not going
to even talk about gaming, because as

1710
01:59:39.800 --> 01:59:42.800
we know, it is completely super
easy to be a woman in gaming,

1711
01:59:43.399 --> 01:59:46.239
but I I will say that,
like, I don't like I love K

1712
01:59:46.399 --> 01:59:49.640
pop. Jan knows this, We
all know this. But I'm never ever

1713
01:59:49.760 --> 01:59:54.680
going to talk about it online because
that is a that is a fandom that

1714
01:59:54.720 --> 01:59:58.840
scares the shit out of me that
I can'll rip you limb from limb,

1715
01:59:58.920 --> 02:00:03.199
They'll rip you limb from them.
They're like hungry wolves that love good music.

1716
02:00:05.079 --> 02:00:08.880
I just love good music, but
I'm not that hungry of a wolf.

1717
02:00:08.920 --> 02:00:10.960
You know. It's so like,
you can't run with that pack,

1718
02:00:11.079 --> 02:00:13.920
no way, Yeah I can,
so I say, I just stay separate.

1719
02:00:13.960 --> 02:00:16.600
I don't engage with anything beyond the
song itself, and I feel so

1720
02:00:16.680 --> 02:00:20.399
much happier about that. I think
there's just some stuff that like, that's

1721
02:00:20.439 --> 02:00:24.399
what it is, like the space
is toxic. Don't go into the space,

1722
02:00:24.520 --> 02:00:27.039
enjoy the thing on its own merits, and pretend no one else likes

1723
02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:30.159
it except for you. Yeah,
now that you mentioned that, with music

1724
02:00:30.319 --> 02:00:34.119
like there's there are subsets of fans
that take things way too seriously, and

1725
02:00:34.159 --> 02:00:39.600
I think people need to stop taking
things so fucking seriously. Yeah, that's

1726
02:00:39.920 --> 02:00:44.479
that's why I watched sports by myself
usually because oh, I feel like I

1727
02:00:44.640 --> 02:00:46.399
take it the exact level that I
want to take it, which it can

1728
02:00:46.479 --> 02:00:49.680
be pretty serious, but I don't
want to infect anyone else with my level

1729
02:00:49.720 --> 02:00:56.000
of enthusiasm, and I don't want
someone else who's like who gets super upset

1730
02:00:56.079 --> 02:00:58.840
to be bumming out my vibe.
So I kind of like, I'm gonna

1731
02:00:58.840 --> 02:01:01.000
watch my team by myself in my
basement, and that's where I'm happiest with

1732
02:01:01.039 --> 02:01:05.079
it. Act. Yeah, it's
just I mean, I don't know.

1733
02:01:05.159 --> 02:01:09.960
I think I think there's just such
a level of seriousness with like the entertainment

1734
02:01:09.960 --> 02:01:15.600
we engage with that is unwarranted and
outsized. Like I do remember like when

1735
02:01:15.600 --> 02:01:19.760
I first started working at Fandom,
I was like hosting a trivia thing and

1736
02:01:19.800 --> 02:01:24.920
I was so nervous and one of
my bosses was like, Bailey, we

1737
02:01:24.960 --> 02:01:27.720
are not saving lives here. And
I was like, oh my god,

1738
02:01:27.720 --> 02:01:31.680
you're so right, like and immediately
just stopped taking any of it particularly seriously

1739
02:01:31.760 --> 02:01:35.199
other than in the I wanted my
work to be good sent it's like yeah,

1740
02:01:35.239 --> 02:01:39.720
And I think more people who engage
with this stuff kind of need to

1741
02:01:40.159 --> 02:01:45.520
remember that like it it's not it's
it's for fun, and if it's no

1742
02:01:45.640 --> 02:01:48.000
longer fun, you're kind of not
doing it right. Yeah. Yeah,

1743
02:01:48.079 --> 02:01:53.560
I've seen this float around, but
like there's there's a mentality that's been prevalent

1744
02:01:53.600 --> 02:01:57.680
over the last decade or so of
what about me? You know what?

1745
02:01:58.239 --> 02:02:04.159
Sometimes yo, you don't matter better, but almost statistically almost never. Yeah.

1746
02:02:04.159 --> 02:02:06.520
When Grub was saying the next Xbox
is going to come out in twenty

1747
02:02:06.560 --> 02:02:11.840
twenty eight, I was like,
we're not fucking getting that far. My

1748
02:02:11.960 --> 02:02:15.399
tax dude yesterday was I was like, hey, so your next season and

1749
02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:19.840
he was like if I live that
though, huh. I'm like, yo,

1750
02:02:20.039 --> 02:02:25.520
yo, yo, chill out,
dude. I know you're an accountant,

1751
02:02:25.520 --> 02:02:28.359
but still tomorrow, what are you
gonna do? You know? And

1752
02:02:28.399 --> 02:02:30.920
I was like, hey, like
that. That autograph is really cool.

1753
02:02:30.960 --> 02:02:39.560
It's Barsela. Do you want it
us? Great? I think I think

1754
02:02:39.560 --> 02:02:43.479
we're having questions. I do want
a tax guy who's clinically depressed, though

1755
02:02:43.560 --> 02:02:46.319
that is that makes them better at
taxes. I think trying to converse with

1756
02:02:46.359 --> 02:02:51.119
this guy to send me my I
D while he was at the cheesecake factory

1757
02:02:51.319 --> 02:02:57.319
trying not to be rude. While
Ben Starr is chugging a drink, He's

1758
02:02:57.359 --> 02:03:03.800
like, okay, you want me
to over night? Can we have a

1759
02:03:03.840 --> 02:03:10.000
cartoon with this person? I think
that I want this person. The most

1760
02:03:10.000 --> 02:03:14.239
twenty two minute episode of something.
He has the most conflicting imagery on his

1761
02:03:14.279 --> 02:03:17.279
walls because he has a red hat
that says America is Great. So I'm

1762
02:03:17.319 --> 02:03:20.439
already like, okay, I don't
know what you're going for it. But

1763
02:03:20.479 --> 02:03:26.000
then but then next to it,
it's like black Lives Matter, and then

1764
02:03:26.000 --> 02:03:28.439
i'd be like he has a photo
with him and Obama. I'm like,

1765
02:03:28.880 --> 02:03:32.800
I can't read you. The America
is Great hat is like an anti Maga

1766
02:03:32.800 --> 02:03:36.359
hat because it's like, no,
America is great. Okay, all right,

1767
02:03:36.520 --> 02:03:39.960
that's what I think. At least
that's based on the other show,

1768
02:03:40.319 --> 02:03:45.800
like a C plus student at best
generous, you're measuring it. What's the

1769
02:03:45.880 --> 02:03:51.239
metric? Because it's like we earth
population down there. We know that we're

1770
02:03:51.319 --> 02:03:56.560
not going to a university, so
we're just not going to try in high

1771
02:03:56.560 --> 02:04:00.560
school and we're just gonna go straight
to community. We're coasting. We are

1772
02:04:00.640 --> 02:04:04.880
definite, baby, Yeah, absolutely, yeah. We peeked in high school.

1773
02:04:04.920 --> 02:04:09.680
Oh god, I mean that's my
fear every single day of my life.

1774
02:04:09.720 --> 02:04:15.840
But anyway, peeked in middle school. It's you had that one role

1775
02:04:15.840 --> 02:04:18.840
in the play that we weren't even
that good. We were just now we

1776
02:04:18.840 --> 02:04:26.680
were just the only guy who auditioned
Bailey. Stop, It's not my fault.

1777
02:04:26.720 --> 02:04:30.680
I was the only dude in the
Drava club. Okay, oh no,

1778
02:04:30.760 --> 02:04:36.640
I'm sorry from Tennessee, Tennessee.
Right, Mortal Kombat Colon the movie

1779
02:04:36.720 --> 02:04:42.439
Colon the Game has to be near
the top of worst gaming subtitles. All

1780
02:04:42.520 --> 02:04:45.720
right, cool, thank you?
It is through such a thing. Yeah,

1781
02:04:45.800 --> 02:04:49.079
what the fuck is this? I
think he might be thinking's Street Fighter

1782
02:04:49.159 --> 02:04:53.479
the movie the game. I think
he may be. I could be wrong,

1783
02:04:53.760 --> 02:04:57.439
but but like, I've never heard
of this. I think, oh,

1784
02:04:57.640 --> 02:05:00.119
yeah, that happens. It's just
like, what if you make that

1785
02:05:00.199 --> 02:05:01.960
game and then gave it a bad
title, then I could complain about it.

1786
02:05:02.000 --> 02:05:04.359
I mean, yeah, sure,
street of the Movie the Game is

1787
02:05:04.359 --> 02:05:09.920
an incredible title though. I always
adored that like that, Yeah, that's

1788
02:05:09.920 --> 02:05:13.640
like some spaceball shit right there.
There's exactly any time anyone has fun naming

1789
02:05:13.680 --> 02:05:15.600
something like I'm never going to watch
High School Musical the musical the series,

1790
02:05:15.600 --> 02:05:19.319
but I'm going to respect the hell
out of it from Hey, Hey,

1791
02:05:19.399 --> 02:05:25.840
Hey, Season one pretty good.
Listen. I will listen to Olivia Rodrigo

1792
02:05:25.960 --> 02:05:29.279
and never engaged with her fans online, but I'm not going to watch the

1793
02:05:29.279 --> 02:05:33.479
show. Listen, I love hs
TMTHMTS. You just you back off?

1794
02:05:33.560 --> 02:05:36.760
Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

1795
02:05:38.159 --> 02:05:42.079
I had to really practice that my
head before. How do I say this

1796
02:05:43.000 --> 02:05:46.479
not so aggressively? Should go st
hr. I'm still upset that they never

1797
02:05:46.479 --> 02:05:50.399
did high school musical too, because
I just needed I just needed bet on

1798
02:05:50.439 --> 02:05:57.359
it to reach a whole different populace. Got any time. I'm never on

1799
02:05:57.399 --> 02:06:00.479
a golf course. What am I
saying? Improve it? We know that,

1800
02:06:00.800 --> 02:06:03.600
Hey, we should go golfing.
Rich and Seattle writes in with a

1801
02:06:03.640 --> 02:06:10.079
request, Mike, if you're listening, feel free to pop in at any

1802
02:06:10.119 --> 02:06:14.479

drive CAF my name and to his
leather shoets. All right, that's all

1805
02:06:26.680 --> 02:06:30.319
I'm gonna sing for you. I
can't get in on the shoutouts because of

1806
02:06:30.319 --> 02:06:38.319
work, but ask and you shall
receive. Hi. That's not a words

1807
02:06:38.920 --> 02:06:43.880
I took a They continue to write
in I can't get in the shadows because

1808
02:06:43.920 --> 02:06:46.199
of work. I appreciate if this
gets on the show, Mike Mike,

1809
02:06:46.199 --> 02:06:49.239
do you want to finish the stanza
here? Yeah? Where were you?

1810
02:06:49.279 --> 02:07:04.439
Because I took Louisa Louis Slugger both
headline Hall and off fortas next before before

1811
02:07:04.560 --> 02:07:10.960
he'll put his car in the garage, right, what the fuck? Okay,

1812
02:07:10.960 --> 02:07:15.239
thank you, my cart? Shoot, wish carry is here. She's

1813
02:07:15.359 --> 02:07:16.960
she's with us on this podcast.
We're so lucky, like she's in the

1814
02:07:17.039 --> 02:07:21.439
room with me. It's amazing.
My favorite running not my favorite runner up

1815
02:07:21.479 --> 02:07:28.000
of American Idol an up. It
was Clay Aching until he got kind of

1816
02:07:28.000 --> 02:07:33.119
creepy. Oh he started that.
The guy's then bow bisce oh bis oh

1817
02:07:33.199 --> 02:07:38.239
he's back. And I think you
somebody corrected you before on this and I

1818
02:07:38.239 --> 02:07:42.279
think it's true. I think Carrie
Underwood won American Idol. I swear she

1819
02:07:42.359 --> 02:07:46.039
was the same season as Ruben stuttered
and Ruben stuttered one that was Clay Aching

1820
02:07:46.119 --> 02:07:55.880
and stuttered right Underwood in that same
season. No, she wasn't. Yeah,

1821
02:07:56.079 --> 02:08:01.079
you should learned more about music like
me. That is the most artful

1822
02:08:01.119 --> 02:08:07.119
thing anyone has ever said. Oh
god, okay, okay, all right,

1823
02:08:07.720 --> 02:08:13.800
all right. Uh Florianopolis, Oh
wait that's where they're from. Eduardo

1824
02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:20.159
from Florianapolis Brazil writes in Dear bomb
Flowers, after four hundred and eighty five

1825
02:08:20.199 --> 02:08:22.159
hours spread across four months, I'm
proud to say my Tears of the Kingdom

1826
02:08:22.239 --> 02:08:28.640
map screen says I've reached the one
hundred percent completion mark, wow, which

1827
02:08:28.680 --> 02:08:31.159
involves finding all of the locations and
core ox seeds, amongst other things.

1828
02:08:31.840 --> 02:08:35.399
I've also gone on to take care
of things that didn't count towards the game's

1829
02:08:35.439 --> 02:08:39.680
completion percentage, such as getting all
stable rewards, two hundred and twenty eight

1830
02:08:39.760 --> 02:08:46.239
recipes, twenty nine paraglider skins,
and six monster medals for defeating all two

1831
02:08:46.399 --> 02:08:50.279
hundred and forty nine monsters, as
well as completing every quest and adventure in

1832
02:08:50.479 --> 02:08:56.760
fully upgrading all stage vows, available, pieces of armor and energy cells,

1833
02:08:56.239 --> 02:09:01.359
and finding all the bubble frogs.
Sorry God, Michael Boulay Frog. I

1834
02:09:01.520 --> 02:09:05.359
needed a place to brag about it, and you have the perfect cast of

1835
02:09:05.439 --> 02:09:09.600
lovable goobers for this, including Uber
Goober himself, Dan Reichert. Anyway,

1836
02:09:13.560 --> 02:09:18.079
you can be the Uber Groober two. Anyway. Have you ever been obsessed

1837
02:09:18.119 --> 02:09:20.479
with a game to this degree?
If not, do you think there's ever

1838
02:09:20.560 --> 02:09:22.399
going to be a title that aligns
with your taste in games so much that

1839
02:09:22.439 --> 02:09:26.439
you won't put it down until you
have done every last thing there is to

1840
02:09:26.520 --> 02:09:28.319
do in it. Or are you
in a position where games just come and

1841
02:09:28.439 --> 02:09:33.279
go you'll never desperately fall in love
with one anymore. Kisses on the cheek,

1842
02:09:33.479 --> 02:09:39.960
Eduardo, really melancholy. Note,
Actually I can't feel anything anymore.

1843
02:09:39.279 --> 02:09:43.760
I've burned twice as hot, but
for half as long like I would like.

1844
02:09:43.840 --> 02:09:48.119
Actually had like games where I played
that for a month and I put

1845
02:09:48.159 --> 02:09:52.239
like two hundred and fifty hours in
a month in a game. But that's

1846
02:09:52.840 --> 02:09:54.000
that. That doesn't happen very often
because I got a lot going on.

1847
02:09:54.119 --> 02:09:58.039
I got a lot of games sometime
I'm trying to play. But yeah,

1848
02:09:58.199 --> 02:10:01.880
I'm here for a good not a
long time, because I get like hyper

1849
02:10:01.920 --> 02:10:05.239
fixated on a game, like I
just am all about that game and nothing

1850
02:10:05.319 --> 02:10:09.720
but that game for like like a
week, and then I'll, for some

1851
02:10:09.960 --> 02:10:13.199
reason, will be pulled out of
it. Either something happens in the game

1852
02:10:13.279 --> 02:10:16.720
that I can't get past or I
just don't like or I just have to

1853
02:10:16.800 --> 02:10:18.680
play a new game for work,
and then I'm like, okay, for

1854
02:10:18.840 --> 02:10:22.760
work reasons, I must move my
fixation to this now. But like Inscription

1855
02:10:22.920 --> 02:10:26.760
for me, like I was obsessed
with it, could not stop playing.

1856
02:10:26.840 --> 02:10:31.880
It was not getting enough sleep because
I was playing Inscription late into the night

1857
02:10:31.399 --> 02:10:35.680
and then I like just read some
stuff about the back end that I thought

1858
02:10:35.760 --> 02:10:39.439
was kind of stupid, and then
immediately the spell was broken and I was

1859
02:10:39.479 --> 02:10:43.880
into Slay the Spire and it you
know, it's but that's my last one

1860
02:10:43.880 --> 02:10:46.960
where I was like just trying to
find every single card and beat every single

1861
02:10:46.000 --> 02:10:48.760
achievement, and that that's the most
recent one for me. Was definitely an

1862
02:10:48.760 --> 02:10:52.239
Inscription for sure. That's my answer. And also I'm sad I haven't played

1863
02:10:52.239 --> 02:10:56.199
Inscription in so long and I have
literally no desire to anymore. Oh did

1864
02:10:56.560 --> 02:11:01.000
you beat it? Though? Right? Yeah, I was in the Casey's

1865
02:11:01.079 --> 02:11:09.399
model, Like I was gonna say, I feel like I'm always on the

1866
02:11:09.600 --> 02:11:13.079
lookout for something like that, Like
that's the thing, like I'm always,

1867
02:11:15.079 --> 02:11:18.079
uh, there's a part of me
that's always cautiously optimistic, like I'm gonna

1868
02:11:18.199 --> 02:11:22.119
find the one that does it to
me, and I don't. It just

1869
02:11:22.319 --> 02:11:26.880
never happens. I think it's a
combination of like I nothing can really contain

1870
02:11:26.960 --> 02:11:30.279
my interest for that long I think
a lot of the I do. I

1871
02:11:30.319 --> 02:11:35.479
think remedy stuff does. It probably
gets the closest for me like a control

1872
02:11:35.600 --> 02:11:37.399
where I'm like, I need to
do as much as I can of this

1873
02:11:37.560 --> 02:11:43.720
thing, but I don't. Yeah, I don't think I've ever really had

1874
02:11:43.880 --> 02:11:52.119
that thing. I think it's also
a byproduct of just like my personal life

1875
02:11:52.159 --> 02:11:56.479
and how it just can't lend itself
to something like that at this point in

1876
02:11:56.560 --> 02:12:00.880
my life. Yeah, complete the
game is just never never done it for

1877
02:12:01.000 --> 02:12:05.479
me, getting every little thing.
I don't feel much for that. So

1878
02:12:05.760 --> 02:12:09.560
for me, my obsessions are,
Hey, there's a leaderboard here and me

1879
02:12:09.640 --> 02:12:11.680
and my friends are going to be
competing in it, and I will put

1880
02:12:11.680 --> 02:12:15.159
a thousand hours into that and that
that's where I get my excitement from from

1881
02:12:15.199 --> 02:12:18.319
from that sort of experience. Did
you ever beat Neon White? No?

1882
02:12:20.560 --> 02:12:22.760
I got stuck. I got stuck
on a boss fight and I couldn't get

1883
02:12:22.800 --> 02:12:26.960
past it. And I was thinking
about Neon White literally yesterday. I was

1884
02:12:26.000 --> 02:12:28.880
like, why didn't I beat that
game? And I tried to pick it

1885
02:12:28.920 --> 02:12:30.199
up and do it. I was
like, Oh, because I can't get

1886
02:12:30.239 --> 02:12:33.159
with a sing fight and it's not
fun for me. It's not fun for

1887
02:12:33.239 --> 02:12:35.560
me anymore, so I stopped.
But Neon White was so good man,

1888
02:12:35.920 --> 02:12:39.119
that's great. Yep, what a
great game. That first handful of levels

1889
02:12:39.199 --> 02:12:43.079
huh, I mean all the levels
are good. I just yeah, yep.

1890
02:12:43.199 --> 02:12:48.560
I got until first major character in
game was killed. No spoilers once.

1891
02:12:48.640 --> 02:12:50.760
I who But I was getting to
a point where clearly a second one

1892
02:12:50.840 --> 02:12:56.760
was about to be and I couldn't
get past. It's very sad, very

1893
02:12:56.800 --> 02:12:58.960
sad for me. I remember when
my computer exploded because of the Neon whit

1894
02:13:00.000 --> 02:13:07.960
it open ye try that again?
Hardcore too cool and hardcore and it was

1895
02:13:07.000 --> 02:13:11.920
all the contestants. Uh backlar this
this email is kind of for you,

1896
02:13:13.760 --> 02:13:18.560
hey, folks. Question for our
keyboard wizard, Jeff Bacolar eight. But

1897
02:13:18.720 --> 02:13:24.960
do is releasing a mechanical keyboard styled
after classic nysesthetics someone who loves their products

1898
02:13:24.000 --> 02:13:28.239
but doesn't know a lot about mechanical
keyboards? Is this a good bang for

1899
02:13:28.279 --> 02:13:31.800
your buck? Amazon link? I
love the look of it, but I

1900
02:13:31.920 --> 02:13:35.439
don't know if this is a good
starter mechanical keyboard for someone who does not

1901
02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:39.439
know a lot about switches or does
not want to get a lot into detail

1902
02:13:39.479 --> 02:13:43.800
with it. Alternatively, it would
be a good mechanical keyboard for under one

1903
02:13:43.840 --> 02:13:50.640
hundred dollars. Thanks heart emoji.
Brendan in Rhode Island, sick it's got

1904
02:13:50.039 --> 02:13:52.119
kale. I don't know. I've
never knew how to pronounced this kale box

1905
02:13:52.199 --> 02:13:56.560
switches in two whites. Yeah,
those switches are Those switches are fine.

1906
02:13:56.640 --> 02:14:00.560
I think like, uh, look, for ninety nine dollars, there's any

1907
02:14:00.640 --> 02:14:05.600
mechanical keyboard a price that that is
like a wild value just on its face.

1908
02:14:05.239 --> 02:14:09.279
Uh yeah, I think like the
aesthetic of this thing is pretty neat.

1909
02:14:09.960 --> 02:14:13.960
Uh is it hot swap? Yes, it's hot swap. Okay,

1910
02:14:15.199 --> 02:14:18.920
mean you could swap out the switches
and add your own, right, but

1911
02:14:20.000 --> 02:14:22.840
you obviously wouldn't change the key caps
because that is the whole aesthetic of the

1912
02:14:24.039 --> 02:14:26.119
of the design and everything. Look, I think for nine nine dollars you're

1913
02:14:26.119 --> 02:14:31.119
not going to find anything else,
and obviously, knowing what we know about

1914
02:14:31.119 --> 02:14:35.600
the quality of this company, like
it's it's it's gonna likely be pretty good

1915
02:14:35.760 --> 02:14:39.359
or above average at the very least. I'm assuming it's not aluminum. The

1916
02:14:39.439 --> 02:14:43.600
keyboard's probably plastic, So for me, I don't buy keyboards that are not

1917
02:14:45.359 --> 02:14:50.760
metal of some kind. I just
can't do it anymore unless I'm like building

1918
02:14:50.079 --> 02:14:56.159
something for someone else. I usually
recommend an aluminum keyboard. The heavier the

1919
02:14:56.239 --> 02:15:01.239
better, let's be honest. So
if you're looking there's something sub one hundred

1920
02:15:01.239 --> 02:15:05.319
dollars, you're probably not going to
find anything there. I think there's a

1921
02:15:05.359 --> 02:15:09.680
couple sixty five percent keyboards that you
might be able to get in like the

1922
02:15:09.800 --> 02:15:15.000
one twenty to one thirty range,
which might do you well. The one

1923
02:15:15.079 --> 02:15:18.119
they have here is called a TKL, meaning it's a ten keyless, so

1924
02:15:18.239 --> 02:15:24.479
it's got the regular sixty five percent, then the fro, then the cluster

1925
02:15:24.640 --> 02:15:28.279
of arrows, and then those like
navigational keys above the cluster arrows. So

1926
02:15:28.600 --> 02:15:33.039
that's what you're looking at for in
terms of like the functionality. For me,

1927
02:15:33.159 --> 02:15:35.680
I like a little larger keyboard.
But I also do like that sixty

1928
02:15:35.720 --> 02:15:41.640
five percent compact. Yeah, I
mean I would. How much of a

1929
02:15:41.680 --> 02:15:45.319
freak you are with it? Yeah, if you want to, I do.

1930
02:15:45.560 --> 02:15:48.920
There are two vendors I think are
really good if you're just starting out.

1931
02:15:48.000 --> 02:15:50.800
One of them is Novel Keys and
one of them is Canon Keys.

1932
02:15:52.199 --> 02:15:56.520
So go check out those two vendors
and they'll probably get you stored in the

1933
02:15:56.600 --> 02:16:00.880
right direction for entry level mechanical keyboards. This thing looks cool. I like,

1934
02:16:01.159 --> 02:16:03.239
I like the vibe of it,
for sure, I you know,

1935
02:16:03.359 --> 02:16:07.239
for me, like for me,
I you know, the design is a

1936
02:16:07.279 --> 02:16:09.560
thing, but it also is like, oh is it gonna sound good?

1937
02:16:09.720 --> 02:16:11.760
And when it's a plastic keyboard,
it doesn't always like sound the way you

1938
02:16:11.800 --> 02:16:16.079
want it to sound. A lot
of that is also dictated by switches.

1939
02:16:16.319 --> 02:16:20.159
But hey, we ain't a keyboard
podcast, right, you know, we

1940
02:16:20.239 --> 02:16:22.960
can't get too down. It's all
right. We'll follow it up with like

1941
02:16:24.000 --> 02:16:28.039
a five minute coffee thing with me
and then grub you can get into whatever

1942
02:16:28.079 --> 02:16:31.399
you want to get into. Bailey, You'll have ten trucks, trucks,

1943
02:16:31.880 --> 02:16:37.040
trucks working on my Type five as
they speak. Okay, fantastic, it's

1944
02:16:37.079 --> 02:16:39.639
cool. I like the I like
the key caps. I remember there was

1945
02:16:39.680 --> 02:16:43.159
like a Nintendo sixty four keycaps that
we did. We showed everyone right a

1946
02:16:43.239 --> 02:16:46.239
while back. I don't even think
that one's out yet. Yeah, so

1947
02:16:46.639 --> 02:16:52.319
this is this is very cute and
I would certainly put this on display.

1948
02:16:52.920 --> 02:16:58.239
Let's just say that that's sorry.
I just see Mike chiming off on the

1949
02:16:58.319 --> 02:17:03.559
chat. No, Mike, all
right, this one is for Actually Grub

1950
02:17:03.600 --> 02:17:07.639
could help out with this one.
Hey duds, my wife, my lave,

1951
02:17:07.040 --> 02:17:11.200
and I are traveling from Oklahoma to
Columbus for a music festival this weekend.

1952
02:17:11.399 --> 02:17:16.079
Hopefully you see this in time.
Does Grub have any recommendations for good

1953
02:17:16.159 --> 02:17:20.159
fast food to get in the area. I know sheets, gas station food

1954
02:17:20.200 --> 02:17:22.639
is one of his go toos,
but what else should we be on the

1955
02:17:22.760 --> 02:17:26.159
lookout for. Also, if any
other duters have some suggestions along the route

1956
02:17:28.040 --> 02:17:33.280
Oklahoma to Saint Louis to Indianapolis to
Columbus, throw them out there. Thanks

1957
02:17:33.319 --> 02:17:37.040
fellas, Keep on keeping on stand
from Tulsa. PS. If any other

1958
02:17:37.120 --> 02:17:41.680
GB freaks are going to Lost Lands, maybe we should organize a meetup.

1959
02:17:43.639 --> 02:17:46.120
I So, yeah, Sheets,
definitely try sheets. There are a few

1960
02:17:46.159 --> 02:17:50.319
open in Columbus now, is my
understanding, There was not when I used

1961
02:17:50.360 --> 02:17:54.120
to live in Columbus that was not
an option. So definitely try that out.

1962
02:17:54.280 --> 02:17:58.319
That's actually surprisingly good food. Skyline
there's definitely a couple of Skyline chilies

1963
02:17:58.360 --> 02:18:01.159
in Columbus. It's Cincinnati thing,
but there are a couple in Columbus,

1964
02:18:01.200 --> 02:18:03.719
and that's gonna be like a local
flavor. You should definitely try. I

1965
02:18:03.879 --> 02:18:07.239
recommend the coney dogs, but if
you want to try the chili on the

1966
02:18:07.280 --> 02:18:09.920
spaghetti. It's not my thing,
but a lot of people really do like

1967
02:18:09.040 --> 02:18:15.399
it. Beyond that, there's not
a lot of like local only if there's

1968
02:18:15.440 --> 02:18:18.280
if I think they might have a
Swinson's drive in. Now that's the really

1969
02:18:18.319 --> 02:18:20.879
good burger place that we have up
here in Cleveland. I think there might

1970
02:18:20.959 --> 02:18:26.159
be one down to Columbus. Now, get thee get their burger. It's

1971
02:18:26.360 --> 02:18:28.360
very very good if you get a
chance to try that. But that's was

1972
02:18:28.440 --> 02:18:33.719
that the really good burger that high
Mike uh was was talking about. I

1973
02:18:33.840 --> 02:18:37.520
wonder, I don't know, Probably
not, but I'm gonna truth to believe.

1974
02:18:37.559 --> 02:18:41.479
Yes it was. Let's just hope
it was. What do you call

1975
02:18:41.479 --> 02:18:48.079
it a cheesy burger? Okay,
it was not that burger? Okay,

1976
02:18:48.280 --> 02:18:52.760
don't meet to mispurpersent Mike here.
All right. That about does it for

1977
02:18:52.879 --> 02:18:56.680
the emails this week, once again, you can send your emails to BombCast

1978
02:18:56.719 --> 02:19:00.319
to John bomb dot com. We
got a lot of stuff pop and off

1979
02:19:00.360 --> 02:19:03.079
for the rest of the week.
Jeff Jeff's returns tomorrow. Correct. That

1980
02:19:03.319 --> 02:19:09.719
is correct. We are continuing the
Cowboy beeB Up Guide in my favorite two

1981
02:19:09.799 --> 02:19:15.040
episodes of the entire series. Yesterday
is what we talked about. WHOA,

1982
02:19:15.639 --> 02:19:18.479
I don't know it was. It
was mostly a popular opinion, but we

1983
02:19:18.600 --> 02:19:22.360
get into it and uh my god
do I love Cowboy Beebo. Great show.

1984

party Animals together on upf Bailey, what

1988
02:19:46.079 --> 02:19:56.360
are you doing on Friday? Party
Animals? If you guys separately by myself?

1989
02:19:58.879 --> 02:20:01.799
Bailey just has like four three other
controllers set up and just nudging them

1990
02:20:01.879 --> 02:20:05.559
occasionally. Bailey, what else is
going on for you? You plugged it

1991
02:20:05.639 --> 02:20:07.920
when we brought you on at the
top of the news, but plug it

1992
02:20:09.000 --> 02:20:11.079
again. I will plug it again. Yeah, I mean. Check out

Reality Check, which the first episode
is called Why I'm Sad. There

1997
02:20:26.520 --> 02:20:31.760
are no aliens to romance in Starfield. It is all about non human romances

1998
02:20:31.879 --> 02:20:35.520
in games, and we did a
lot of weird research about it, like

1999
02:20:35.719 --> 02:20:41.120
so much research. Please watch It's
fun. I can't wait. Go watch

How do your research having sex with? Yeah? There there was a

2002
02:20:48.200 --> 02:20:52.799
literal study called the Monstrous Desires Study
that we did a huge dive into.

2003
02:20:52.000 --> 02:20:56.440
There's so much stuff. Not to
spoil it, bales, have you ever

we're yeah, okay, I'll put
it together. Grub You read that first

2007
02:21:09.680 --> 02:21:11.680
one, right, all right?
That more of a goose bumps kid.

2008
02:21:11.840 --> 02:21:16.040
But okay, well we'll do like
