1
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
You know it's the Internet. You're
busy. Let's do this. Welcome to

2
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:32,880
the Game Mess Deicides podcast. This
is the podcast where we decide everything about

3
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,159
the world of video games so you
never have to think for yourself. I'm

4
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,320
your host Jeff Grubb and with me
is Mike MANAUGHTI. In today's episode,

5
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:46,719
we have Astro Astro Astro and Game
of the Year twenty twenty one. We'll

6
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:49,159
do that, stay to play round
Up and all that stuff, but all

7
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,799
that really matters. It's astro.
I'm gonna keep saying about that astro.

8
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,759
Yeah, I'm emphasizing the ass for
some reason. I don't mean to do

9
00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:59,159
that. I think it's just natural. My mom just does that. Yeah,

10
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,399
I'll feel good. I'm sick.
I think it's more than just allergies

11
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:04,599
now, and so it's gonna be
a short episode everybody, because I got

12
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,920
we just I just got to survive
tonight. I think because of the big

13
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,000
thing, we got it. Everybody, don't worry. We're all looking for

14
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,079
what could have caused this. But
yeah, I hope you feel better,

15
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,040
Jeff, Yeah, yeah, I'm
sure you do. What do you you

16
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,079
gotta? Can you take easy day
tomorrow? I'm gonna try. I'm gonna

17
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,000
I'm gonna look into it. I
told Jan I would think about it.

18
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:23,200
He really wants me to, and
I'll probably have to because you probably won't

19
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:26,560
let me do any of the other
shows if I don't. So yeah,

20
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:29,879
well, yeah, we'll see.
I'll probably take it easy tomorrow. We'll

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,719
get to sleep here in a little
bit tonight. But plenty to talk about

22
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,799
and all that stuff. How are
you feeling overall though? I'm good,

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,519
you know, I think we had
our first little event today leading up to

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,040
all the summer stuff too. Did
you watch the sound healthing and all I

25
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,200
did? Of course? Yeah?
No, psychopath, yeah, crazy,

26
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:52,280
I don't know. But now we
had the sunny thing. I mean,

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,519
look, oh, I ever really
wanted from that was as show and we

28
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:59,719
got that. So I'm happy.
I'm almost curious to run our own poll

29
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,159
because I don't know if our audience
aligns more with us. We're one.

30
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:06,760
I can get it right now.
They understand they have expectations for what a

31
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:10,520
state of play is versus the showcase, and maybe they are also happy about

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,199
Astro. But you know, maybe
we're being blinded by our Astro love and

33
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:16,960
everything else was very no no,
we're right. The children are on perhaps

34
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:22,280
perhaps, but yeah, yeah,
I'm excited to talk about it there.

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240
But do you want to just lead
in with Astro and how exciting that is?

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Because boy am I excited? Yeah, let's let's do it. You

everybody for the support recently. It's meant

48
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,759
a lot. All right, Yeah, let's hop into it. Let's let's

49
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:16,039
start with Astro. That's what matters. State of play happened thirty minutes,

50
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,280
fourteen games. We were counting down
because Astro was last like a little worried

51
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,800
because it was like they were running
out of time there at the end,

52
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,800
they dropped it and I thought it
looked astounding. I think it looks amazing.

53
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,479
How'd you feel about it? I
was so happy. Right, there's

54
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,199
that little bit of a second there
where he's was gliing on the PS five

55
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,120
couture for a while, think hey, yeah, this isn't the whole game,

56
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:40,479
is it, right? But it
is a motion control like yeah,

57
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:46,199
like racist is a layer like yer, like yeah no, But then he

58
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,919
landed. It's a ride. Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted. It

59
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,080
is just Astro's playroom taken into a
full game, and that's that's entirely what

60
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,080
they conveyed here. And you know, it's not like you have to do

61
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,319
any one big thing to change that
up. But kind of like with the

62
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,479
best Mario games, there's clearly so
many different things happening at any moment to

63
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:09,840
switch things up. Like all of
a sudden you have frog boxing gloves and

64
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:12,719
like, oh now he has new
abilities there crat this this is gonna give

65
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,800
you his acts. You know,
there's like a dog on his backpack,

66
00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:18,839
and we had new abilities there.
So it just seems like there's gonna constantly

67
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:24,079
be interesting things to change things up. But just the core mechanics of astro

68
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:29,639
as a three platformer fewl so good
in the game looks so pretty, and

69
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,000
the music is outstanding. The ascetics
are a maculate. Astro himself is such

70
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,800
an appealing character. I love him, sack boy. I'm sorry you could

71
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,040
never This is immediately my most anticipated
game for the rest of the year.

72
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,120
Now yeah, I mean, I'm
right there with you that It's also true

73
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,720
for me. My most anticipated game
for the rest of the year is Astrobot

74
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:56,199
without a question, And that was
true before I even read some of these

75
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,680
details that we got on the on
the blog post i'll read here. Shout

76
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,879
out to Oreo sixty four for collecting
them here. Pre Orders begin June seventh.

77
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:08,040
It is not a free game,
clearly based on what we saw.

78
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,920
It comes out to September sixth.
It has six six galaxies spanning over eighty

79
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,759
levels, has unique planets. One
of the things that it's not mentioned here.

80
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,519
You mentioned this though, it's like, oh, you know, a

81
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,879
ton of new ideas. They do
explicitly say like every ten minutes, we

82
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,120
want to be giving you something new. And to me, when I hear

83
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,519
that, that sounds like, oh, here's a studio that understands what makes

84
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,839
a game good. If you have
a bunch of ideas, throw them all

85
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,920
on there, give a player about
ten minutes to play around with it,

86
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:39,839
and then introduce something new to like, put some variability in there. You

87
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,399
don't have to throw out the whole
thing, but just make it shift in

88
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:45,519
a little bit, so it's something
new every about ten to twelve minutes.

89
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,360
That's honestly the length of the average
attention span for ideas. I think it's

90
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,279
really smart stuff, and it just
sounds like this is chock full of it.

91
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:59,360
They have over seventy new enemy types, fifteen new abilities packed with die

92
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,279
and re try levels to test your
reflexes for those looking for a challenge.

93
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,439
I feel like they wrote this specifically
for me. That's a couple of PR

94
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,360
people. When I wrote, like
Dian retry, I can't wait. Some

95
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:13,279
PR people that I know workers Sony
were like liking the tweet, kind of

96
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,879
like waiting for me and we're so
fucking back here, We're doing it.

97
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,600
It's it's absolutely happening. And then
they're doubling down on the number of PlayStation

98
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,319
character cameos with a hint that they'll
play a bigger role. It's very clear

99
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,279
to me that they're playing a huge
role in the main story of this game,

100
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:32,439
which is the realm. I will
say they might be like the equivalent

101
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,120
of like the Mario sixty four stars
here, because we see that picture of

102
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,160
them all in the ship, like
maybe maybe it's another rescue mission, but

103
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:43,800
this time we're literally saving PlayStation.
Right. You collect these guys and then

104
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800
they're on your ship or whatever,
and they're kind of in your crew things

105
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,199
like that. Boy, am I
down for that? Yep. I think

106
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,439
it's a really clever presentation for the
story. And then I just the game

107
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,439
felt look so alive in terms of
its animation. The boss were massive in

108
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,519
tons of them, tons of them, just as they sailer. It's like

109
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:08,639
they think they said like one at
the end of every Galaxy, but there's

110
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,800
probably more than that. It's probably
I feel like they showed me ouh,

111
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:14,120
Like, man, they showed a
lot just in that trailer see me and

112
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,959
the Bird and the monkey sons of
them, and it just looked fantastic.

113
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,120
So yeah, for me, when
I see something like this, I'm like,

114
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:27,839
oh, I am relieved that we
still get stuff like this, that

115
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:30,360
they fully are capable of making this. Did they know it's worth their time

116
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:34,399
and money? And I'm like,
Okay, now it's up to people who

117
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:38,759
play games to live up to their
end of the bargain and get excited and

118
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,000
buy this thing. But whatever I'm
getting it, I'm happy and I know

119
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:45,600
I'm gonna love it. I just
I'm so ecstatic, right because you kind

120
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,800
of hope, right, because you
know, I just I like three D

121
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,480
platforms a lot, like my favorite
games on the PlayStation five right now,

122
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,279
are you know Ashles, play Room
in Ratching, Click, Rift the Part

123
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,720
whatever? I say, like Rift
the Parts sales numbers like, that's not

124
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:01,199
bad, but to me, man, and that seems like a really special

125
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,079
game and it can only do that, I hope with Astro bought, especially

126
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,519
since literally everyone who has a PS
five it's a one hundred attached rate,

127
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,360
right, doesn't mean everybody opened it. You sure hope a lot of people

128
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:15,959
played that game, and you hope
that they're going to show up for this.

129
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:20,519
I don't know anyone who doesn't like
Astro's playroom, so hopefully that kind

130
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,560
of just worked as like the greatest
demo ever for this, and people do

131
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,800
show up for this in a way
where you know, I don't want to

132
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:31,079
see it only sell two million copies. I want to see it sell three,

133
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,679
four or five million. And maybe
that's like over ambitious on my end,

134
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,759
but I would feel so much better
about gaming in general if that could

135
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,279
happen. Yeah, same, exact
same. And I think people listening to

136
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240
this, if Astro has not been
your thing in the past, this and

137
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,519
what we're what we're talking about,
might sound like, oh, they're just

138
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,799
really into this cute, you know
game off to the side. That's not

139
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,919
what this is. The game included
with the PS five was a Game of

140
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,399
the Year contender on its own as
a demo, so my expectations for this

141
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,879
are even higher, and what I've
seen so far has lived up to and

142
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:09,480
surpassed those expectations. So it's like, this is my most anticipated game because

143
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,960
I have there's a very strong chance
it's going to be my game of the

144
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:16,639
year. That that's how much I'm
looking forward to this so yeah, really

145
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,000
impressed. And again, like I
said, it's that relief that this is

146
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:24,600
what we asked for. They're doing
it exactly how we wanted. They're talking

147
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,200
about the dye in retry levels as
of like that that's a major feature that

148
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,080
they're making a big deal out of, no, and they know they know

149
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,799
what they have and they're capitalized on
it. And it's just so nice,

150
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,639
right I almost like I almost like
sometimes as they just come across as nothing

151
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:43,919
but glow, glow, glow,
But this is literally exactly what we wanted.

152
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,679
And it looks like we as soon
as we played us those play rounds,

153
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,919
like just have them make a full
game now, And it seems like

154
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
that's exactly what they did. Almost
as soon as that came out. They

155
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:54,559
also recognized that it was special and
it was great and they just let them

156
00:09:54,639 --> 00:10:00,159
absolutely cook. And I am a
hungry boy, Jeff, same here,

157
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,080
feed me more seventy dollars. I
think, I hope it's seventy dollars.

158
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,360
It looks like it's a seventy dollar
game to me. If people get mad,

159
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,600
people got mad at me whenever I
say, like, you know,

160
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:11,879
like hif I rush it and have
been thirty dollars. It's like, look,

161
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:15,759
I'm not trying to do some kind
of like I don't know what you

162
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,840
would call it. Money is the
thing. Yeah, but like, look,

163
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
I just I want game like the
games need to be valued appropriately at

164
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,120
some point so that people don't,
I don't know, undervalue them in a

165
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,840
way. I do think that that
hurt Hyfi rush a bit. I'm looking

166
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,440
at a sixty bucks I'm a complete
either, but I don't think I almost

167
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,879
would roll my eyes that this is
a forty dollars game at a certain point.

168
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Same here, Yes, I mean
they anchored it, anchored a state

169
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720
of play with this game. I
think that there's no way it's like thirty

170
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:43,480
or forty. There's a world in
which they're like, well, yeah,

171
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:46,840
you know, it's one of those, so it's only fifty. I hope

172
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,559
they don't do that. Personally,
I think they need to tell gamers that

173
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:56,000
this game is important because it actually
is, and to a certain extent,

174
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,799
people will believe them and then they'll
complain no matter what, So what can

175
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,159
you do about that? But it
also, I mean, like because of

176
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,279
just the way things are, this
is their big kind of uh you know,

177
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,120
fourth quarter release now, yep,
they don't have something else much just

178
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,559
you know, some other people's chagrins. But you know, we're not getting

179
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,039
Ghost of Shoshima too, We're not
getting Wolverine this year. This is the

180
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,679
big game. So hey, even
if maybe this isn't the thing that you

181
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,759
would necessarily always have kind of put
all your money on, you kind of

182
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:26,519
have to now, so go for
it. Creat it like a big deal.

183
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:33,159
It is one. It is.
It absolutely is. That was easily

184
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,679
the game of the State to play
for me, far and away. And

185
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,759
that's not to like denigrate the rest
of the games. They're always the rest

186
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:43,279
of the games for me across the
board are in that bucket. Oh well,

187
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,759
except for Monster Hunter, whiles I
know, I know how we're gonna

188
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:48,759
have fun with that. But then
beyond that, everything's like, Okay,

189
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:50,720
I'll try it, and if I
like it, that's great, but I

190
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:54,080
need to play it before I know
if I'm really excited about it, and

191
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,039
that's fine. That's how I feel
about most games. In these state of

192
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,279
plays and directs and Xbox showcases and
all that stuff. Did anything stand out

193
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,360
to you? I mean, I
was excited seeing like real gameplay of Monster

194
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,679
Hunter Wilds. I'm glad that we
are getting you know, the great thing

195
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,399
in Rise was having that dog mount. It made movement feel a up in

196
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,720
that game, and we're getting a
new version of that. It's not a

197
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:22,159
dog necessarily, Its kind of a
lizard, which kind of looks even cool.

198
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:26,799
They can fly also, sorry,
he looks awesome. That's that's fantastic.

199
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,799
We're getting a bit of a like
aesthetic vibe now with this one.

200
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:35,600
I think the Monster Hunter games have
just been fantastic and getting better. I

201
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:41,279
am super excited for Wilds. That's
next year, but when we get to

202
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:45,080
twenty twenty five, that'll be my
one of my most anticipated games of that

203
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,320
year. What do we make of
Concord, Jeff, what do we do

204
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:50,759
with Concord? What do we do
about Concord? Yeah, I don't know.

205
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,720
We're real quick on wild So I'll
just say for me, it was

206
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,679
the kind of thing where that's another
team that knows what they have and knows

207
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,000
how to show it off and knows
how to build from one game to the

208
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:05,440
next, and taking ideas from like
you were mentioning Rise and World putting all

209
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,840
together in one. It's like,
Okay, they this is going to be

210
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,840
a very competent game, and that
excites me as well. Yeah, the

211
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:22,519
concord problem is uh yeah, it's
a conundrum over there. I got The

212
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:31,039
concor problem is a pretty good phrase
to say the game. Listen, we're

213
00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:33,799
gonna be playing this game pretty soon, right, July is the beta.

214
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,360
So again, part of the biggest
part of me is like, look,

215
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,320
you spent a lot of time and
money on this game. It's your next

216
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,120
big live service release. You must
believe in it. There must be something

217
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,000
to it. I'm willing to see
for myself whether there's something to that.

218
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:54,519
Uh, when it's in this showcase
though, and they start with a long

219
00:13:54,919 --> 00:14:01,720
sort of antiquated feeling f MV sequence. You know, it's CGI sequence that

220
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120
is that I feel nothing for,
and I you know, I know that

221
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,879
we were all saying that. I
don't know if everyone across the board feels

222
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:11,480
that way, but I imagine we're
not mostly alone in like being like,

223
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,559
what does this have to do with
an online competitive shooter game? Well,

224
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,440
what they wanted to be like Overwatch
US for a CG trailer where you know,

225
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,639
we had those kids in that museum
and then Tracer and Winston show up

226
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:24,480
and it was like this kind of
big deal, but you're not blistered.

227
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:28,519
Those were really good characters. Yeah, I mean that's Blizzard, man,

228
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:33,720
you're yeah. And it's like I
don't mean that to be like, well,

229
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:35,759
you know, you're just not up
to snuff. This team feel seems

230
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:43,840
very talented. No one is Blizzard, and Blizzard can command that sort of

231
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,159
attention because they've proven it over and
over again. And with this it's like,

232
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:52,360
why are you wasting my time with
this? I don't even know if

233
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:54,320
the game is fun yet, I
don't have any attachment to these characters.

234
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:58,519
And everyone had the same reaction that
we did on that stream, which was

235
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:05,200
this looks like diet Guardians in the
Galaxy. This looks bland because of that,

236
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,960
you know that, you know,
to be fair, It's like I

237
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,600
would rather that than like trying to
be exactly like Overwatch or a bunch of

238
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:15,440
other things. But even that's like
it's not standing out. And then the

239
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,639
gameplay, it's like, Okay,
it looks decent. I don't know,

240
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,000
it looks decent, and it looks
very overwatching from what I can tell,

241
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,559
maybe it's a bit more valorate me. I don't know yet. It's another

242
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:30,639
Hero Shooter. I think it looks
way more like the PvP in Destiny.

243
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,120
Like the movement, the way like
she was thrying like grenades and stuff looks

244
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,080
very like the warlook in Destiny.
Yeah, it guns me like huge and

245
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,240
like occupying like twenty twenty five percent
of the screen. Is that's very very

246
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:48,240
Destiny. I think they're doing a
Deny PvP type deal. There was like

247
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:52,320
there's a lot more talk about lanes
and stuff like that, and there's some

248
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,559
of the abilities like that made me
think, I don't know, Valerie,

249
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:58,120
you know what, like the game
itself, that could be fun. I've

250
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,639
played games like this before that I
have enjoyed, but you're also always a

251
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:06,600
little skeptical of them because there are
always a lot of them. And it's

252
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,919
very hard in this moment to imagine
this game becoming my hobby, which is

253
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:12,879
what I which And that's that Again, that might sound unfair, but a

254
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:15,840
part of me feels like that's what
all of these live service games are asking

255
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,879
of us at a certain point,
Like that is not like, oh,

256
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,559
you know, you can come play
this game for a couple of sessions and

257
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:23,879
get your money's worth out of it. That's not what they're saying, here,

258
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,480
this needs to become something you spend
a lot of time with and come

259
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:30,919
back to regularly, like Hell Divers
two has and I just it's very difficult

260
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:37,240
to imagine that world where that happens
with me and Concord. Do we know,

261
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,080
actually if this game is free to
play. We made that assumption on

262
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,039
the BombCast stream. Since then,
I've like seen people be like, we

263
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,679
don't know if that's the case,
like pre orders might have There was talking

264
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,799
like maybe someone I saw someone say
pre orders are going to happen at some

265
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:55,519
point in the next little bit,
like pre orders, pre order, What

266
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:59,120
what are you talking about? Pre
ordering? I mean, it's a season

267
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,759
past. It be weird if it's
yeah, because I mean, I mean,

268
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:08,519
what what are the other components of
this game? It seems like it

269
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:14,359
is just that five e five thing
that's a hard selling people. People are

270
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,119
understanding that pre orders is a thing
with this game. Well, look at

271
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,559
Hell Divers. Hildarius is also not
free. Oh yeah, definitely this Yeah,

272
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,480
I think I think that it's a
little bit different for Hell Divers though,

273
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:29,920
right, it's a little bit different. Yeah, it's a little bit

274
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,799
different. But man, for something
like this where again, your main competition

275
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,359
is Overwatch, a five y five
hero shooter, and it is free to

276
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,920
play now. I know it used
to not be, but it is,

277
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:45,519
and that's what you're competing against.
And I'm like other things like that,

278
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,640
you know, Marvel game that was
also here, Marvel Rivals, that's definitely

279
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,240
that's the next one that's definitely going
to be free to play. I feel

280
00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:57,640
like this specific genre, especially once
Overwatch two want free to play. That

281
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,680
genie is out of the bottle.
Now that's kind of difficult to come in

282
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,400
as a premium thing. I did
a little bit digging and people who had

283
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:08,160
accessor you know who, put out
articles today. They did specifically mention that

284
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,400
there will be free post launch updates. And why would you note that post

285
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,960
launch updates are free unless the Yeah, so all right, then how much

286
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,119
this gonna cost? How much how
much they charge you for this? Well?

287
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,319
Overwatch two was forty, I'm overwatched
one was forty held for the starter

288
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,400
audition might have been twenty with the
starter edition, I be's could be like

289
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,559
forty and they're going to try for
a lot of skins and stuff. Look,

290
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,519
I liked that better with Overwatch that
I just paid once and got sure

291
00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:37,039
everything. Ever, still we still
don't know what the business model is going

292
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:40,880
to be for this game. But
assuming the best case scenario, yeah,

293
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,200
I just you know, I think
it's just hard these days to make an

294
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,599
immediate splash like that, especially when
you're not the new Blizzard game. Right.

295
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,440
That's the one reason why Overwatch was
able to get away with it,

296
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,480
and there was a lot of hype
because they did things like beta is where

297
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:59,759
everybody was just gushing, right,
I don't you know, we don't know

298
00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:03,640
that this is not in PlayStation plus
that could have a you know, an

299
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,359
effect as well. But it's like
when I look at it through the prism

300
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,880
of Steam. You know, the
Finals is on Steam. There's a bunch

301
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,359
of stuff recently that kind of like
like a bunch of shooters like that have

302
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,319
come out recently, been free to
play, got an audience, and weren't

303
00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:22,880
even able to maintain that. I
think starting slower because you cost money.

304
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:25,599
I don't know, of course,
it's behind the ball. This isn't some

305
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,400
great insight. Everyone understands this,
but it's just, yeah, it's weird.

306
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,079
I just think the biggest problem is, you know, a hero shooter

307
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:33,720
that character design does mare so much. And I'm like, I'm like,

308
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:37,440
looking at like some of these like
close up portraits, I straight up don't

309
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:41,720
like looking at some of these characters. They're like some of their like like

310
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:45,000
the facial features are oddly realistic.
Then they're like kind of a lizard person

311
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,079
or something. And yeah, the
lizard guy specifically is I was like not

312
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:57,000
vibing with like he had a ton
of personality. It was too much exactly

313
00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:02,240
what I was gonna say. He's
a noxious and it's like not with with

314
00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:03,799
no charm, like you know,
they're like, oh, you know,

315
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:08,279
he's kind of a brute and he
eats his cereal and he holds the spoon

316
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,000
with his whole fist instead of like
you know, daintily like a robot dying

317
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,599
with honor, like literally like some
drags or some kling on ship like wow,

318
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,960
yeah we get a big guy.
Okay. It's so it's it's it's

319
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:25,640
strange, and you know, the
part of me does believe that these kinds

320
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,000
of games ride and die on their
characters and how much people you know,

321
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,279
want want to be making the art
about them part of them of course,

322
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,960
and uh, you know, uh, a fan fiction and stuff like that,

323
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:41,519
and that could happen here, but
it feels again pretty far away.

324
00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,640
I like him so much. I
get it now. It's like, actually

325
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,759
I like him. I think you
should for enlighten me. Oh yeah,

326
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:52,880
I'm glad. I'm happy for you, you know, like I mean,

327
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,240
you don't need that necessarily, Like
Hell Divers doesn't have anything like that,

328
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:57,920
and it's fine, but you need
a little something, a little bit of

329
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,200
a sauce there. Uh okay,
uh then I honestly, you know,

330
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,160
no offense the rest of these games, but it is a lot of much

331
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:10,519
for me. God Ratrock on PC. Yep, we get it. We

332
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:15,200
knew that was going to happen.
Dynasty Warrior Warrior or Doynasty Warrior origins a

333
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,359
big surprise, but weird it's somebody
who does not care about Dynasty Warriors.

334
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,720
I thought that they made that game
look fun. It made it look kind

335
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:25,559
of They did present it in the
best light possible. I agree with that.

336
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:33,359
Infinity Nicky, I can't remember.
Yep, it's a it's a super

337
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,559
cutie one. There was like the
remember what it is, but I just

338
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:44,720
don't know what it is. Okay, it looks like it is Princess Peach

339
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,319
show time for anime fans based on
the extra tailor I saw on Earth,

340
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:51,279
so what everyone's been clamoring for.
Of course, yeah, of course.

341
00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:56,359
Then they did the the biggest whiplash
I've ever seen in one of these showcases.

342
00:21:56,559 --> 00:22:02,160
From that cute girls taking pictures and
dressing up and Italy into bodyhorer and

343
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,599
Cathulian monsters. With Where Winds Meet, No, I think it was Ballot

344
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:10,039
of van Tara? Was that first
ballein Taara? That's right, yes,

345
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,160
yeah, I can't keep these names
straight. Balladvatar is what it looks very

346
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:18,359
out and ring like straight, even
with like the pot head people not like

347
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,400
people spoke a lot. I mean
they literally have pots on the right and

348
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,119
like, honestly it kind of it
looks pretty slick for windows, but boy

349
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,000
is it very outer ring us get
then Where Winds Beat is the one that's

350
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:30,960
much more like us. We're making
our own sec row, yes, swordsman

351
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:34,079
another. You know you have to
have at least two souls likes games in

352
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,400
these things. Of course. Then
we'll get to VR here in a second.

353
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,559
There was Marvel Rivals until Dawn Remastered. Yeah, it's coming to PS

354
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,599
five and PC basically is what that
actually is. Pata Exiles two looks really

355
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,400
promising. Silent Hell too, let's
talk about that. I don't care,

356
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:59,000
and I know you weren't impressed by
the visuals. I it's one of those

357
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:00,759
things where when it's the game is
going and it's kind of zoomaba, it's

358
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,799
fine. The faces look rough,
and this is a game where I think

359
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:07,680
you're going to be looking at people's
faces as they talk to each other a

360
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,640
lot. I think they recently said
they were like aware of this issue and

361
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,480
that they were going to make improvements. This has to be the improved faces,

362
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,039
and it still isn't much. So
that's not promising. It's there.

363
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:22,880
They're in a rough spot because of
course you are just competing with Resident Evil.

364
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,799
Everyone I've heard talked about it so
far so far has compared it to

365
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:29,039
Resivil for and not favorably. I
mean, good luck with that. It's

366
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:32,400
it's a very rough spot to be
in. I get it, yeah,

367
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,440
all right. And then two PSVR
games Behemoth, I got the Yonder,

368
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:40,920
Yes, you got the you won
the under Bet. There the the walky

369
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,880
Dead Saints and centers people they made
Behemoth and then Alien Rogue Incursion, an

370
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:52,400
Alien game, and VR. Yeah, these this does feel like leftover deals

371
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,440
that they made previously and now these
games are just finally coming out. This

372
00:23:56,519 --> 00:24:00,559
does not feel like a reinvigoration of
the PSVR two platform. No, And

373
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,680
like, you know, I'm very
happy that Tima Sobey is just making a

374
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,480
normal game. But if they really
thought there was something with PSVR two,

375
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:11,759
they would be making a VR game
or a mode, like at least I

376
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,119
even talk about that. And it's
like, no, it's not even butler

377
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,240
with that. I get it.
Yep, me too. Uh overall,

378
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,319
and you know what, let's I'll
end the poll now as well. We

379
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,759
have two hundred and seventy five votes. Oh yeah, well you great it

380
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:30,200
So okay, our viewers are have
like more of a C average. But

381
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:34,000
then b like when Kiley did it, D was the most popular answer,

382
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,079
which was the lowest one, which
to me, it's like, okay,

383
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,119
that that seems I mean, I
mean, that's that is people like praying

384
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,759
for the one game they care about, which is Ghost Ghost of Sushima two

385
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,559
or blood Borne and not getting it
all freaking out right. Yeah. Well,

386
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:52,880
well god, if you were expecting
Wolverine, you need to go get

387
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,839
your head. Yeah, come on, everybody. Yeah, yeah, So

388
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,960
I mean eight percent gave it an
eight or give it an A. Seventeen

389
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:02,000
percent gave it a D, thirty
three percent gave it to be in,

390
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:03,480
forty percent gave it to see Mike, what would you give it? It's

391
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:07,720
probably a generous be just because I'm
so excited specifically about Astro, and I

392
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:11,680
get that, but like again,
I thought, like some I thought other

393
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,960
stuff did look interesting as much shit
as I'm giving Concord. I'm like,

394
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,960
yeah, that could be fun.
Bob Muster and or Wild's looks fantastic.

395
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:23,119
The Souls Ice games did not look
bad, and then yeah, even Dynasty

396
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,720
words like, oh okay, that's
interesting. My expectations were pretty in check,

397
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:30,119
Jeff, where I kind of expect
I was. I was like,

398
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,960
all right, Reskie scenario and what
I'm really expecting is the Astro game and

399
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,079
then some other stuff. That's basically
what I was expecting, and that's what

400
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,640
I got, right. I think
my expectations were Astro and I'm like,

401
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,799
pretty sure Concord's going to be there. I have no idea what to expect

402
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:48,079
from that. In my head,
it was like Concord could be completely bland

403
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,079
and I don't care about it at
all. When I saw it, like

404
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,440
it actually did surpass my expectations,
so that helps a little bit as well.

405
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,720
And I'm definitely comparing this to pass
state of Place where uh, the

406
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,359
past, the previous state of place
have had a lot of games where it's

407
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,000
like this just looks bad in this
presentation, and there wasn't really much of

408
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:08,640
that. Everything was like sort of
fit and felt like it was in the

409
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,279
right place. And we know what
these state of plays are, this is

410
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:14,880
what they're like. So overall,
I thought this was a good one of

411
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:21,400
those agreed all right, Uh,
you know, we have some other news

412
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,400
for this week, but like I
said, I'm not feeling too good,

413
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,480
so we'll just we're gonna talk about
the state of play. We're gonna go

414
00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:27,240
get do some super checks, and
we'll do some stuff real quick. It

415
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:32,279
was that whole thing was Neil Druckman's
comments and that one like sizzle reel,

416
00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:33,720
Yeah, what do you think about
messed well, because, like you guys

417
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:37,799
were talking about last week when I
wasn't here, his quote which was basically

418
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,039
like I want to make video games
respectable and like people care about it and

419
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:45,039
like TV blah blah blah, and
we think we all wrote our eyes on

420
00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:48,759
it, we all commented on it
because we took PlayStations worth it. Yeah,

421
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:52,119
we came from the horse's mouth,
yeah right for theys like, hey,

422
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,440
that's not really what I said.
Here's what I actually said. And

423
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,279
it was way more nuanced and well
put together than that. So I don't

424
00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:00,920
know, like I feel kind of
like a jerk because I was in my

425
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,480
head thinking like, oh, Neil
Druckman like yeah, sure, yeah,

426
00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:07,079
and it's like, no, that's
not what he meant. He's right,

427
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,720
So I don't know. It's just
wild to me because again, Press does

428
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:15,240
not have much access to these people
anymore, so places is doing it internally

429
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,400
and they're just kind of making shit
up. That was wild, And you

430
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,599
know, I talked about this on
Game as Mornings. It's like, and

431
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,440
that's going to happen because the motivations
and the sort of boundaries that that Press

432
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:33,359
are limited to very different than what
a company that is trying to sell things

433
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,799
and get investors excited are bound to. They're trying they go to deal Druckman

434
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:40,839
to get a quote because they want
to tell a story to get investors excited.

435
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:47,400
When we as press talk to Neil
Truckman, we have to ethically like

436
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:52,160
reproduce what he's trying to say in
a way that accurately represents what he's saying.

437
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:56,000
We have to. That's the guidelines
by which we're bound. And these

438
00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:59,200
companies are simply not. They are
like, hey, first and foremost we

439
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,640
are trying to tell and a story
here as marketing and so Yeah, of

440
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,799
course this was gonna happen. It's
probably happened a lot before, and we

441
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:08,680
just haven't had a Neil Druckman with
enough power to come out and stand against

442
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,279
it. All that said, I
too, would like, if I had

443
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:15,839
a chance, I would apologize for
No Druckman for uh like repeating that even

444
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:21,359
though it's Sony's fault, just straight
up is feel bad. I'm sorry.

445
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:23,640
I'm not sorry like of course I
did, and of course I assumed PlayStation

446
00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:29,000
wasn't putting words in your mouth,
but I still feel bad. Yep,

447
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,559
absolutely all right, We're gonna take
a quick break when we get back.

448
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:33,920
We've got a lot of super chats
to get to. We'll talk about whatever

449
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:41,559
you guys want to talk about right
after this all right, we are back,

450
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,880
Mike. There's a bunch of super
chats here. Let's read those,

451
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:48,480
gotcha, I'll do that right now. Zoomer says Concord wasted time. All

452
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:52,160
the rest was like, I mean, I think the CG tro was probably

453
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,480
a bit of a waste of time
and money. Yeah, when they showed

454
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:59,079
gameplay, like yeah, you know, it's another team based hero shooter.

455
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:00,519
But I was like, okay,
like, you know, it looks fine,

456
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:04,960
it could be interesting. That's fine. I am still a little surprised

457
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,119
that they went with the whole we
got to you know, farm out a

458
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,240
CG trailer, it to one of
these companies kind of things to really sell

459
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:15,799
this game. I don't know,
I don't know what that accomplished. Yeah,

460
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,200
it feel said the kind of thing
where like those trailers get made because

461
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,200
people in a boardroom or in a
marketing team get excited about that, and

462
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,839
not because they really understand what people
are looking for when they're deciding what games

463
00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:32,440
they're gonna buy. Glitch says,
when have you heard about a sunny showcase

464
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:38,000
in September? Jeff ding ding round
two? Okay, the answer that should

465
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,079
be quoted is nothing. I've not
heard anything about a showcase in September that

466
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:51,519
zaid, please don't quote this.
There is a PlayStation five Pro still coming

467
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:53,559
this year, right, so they
have to talk about that at some point,

468
00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:57,160
And looking at what they did with
PS four Pro, they talked about

469
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,880
that pretty close to the release.
I think the PS four Pro, I

470
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,359
think they talked about in September and
it came out in November. So if

471
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,240
you want to look at history and
maybe say, hey, they're going to

472
00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:11,039
repeat that, and they want to
have a PS five Pro announced next to

473
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:14,039
some other stuff to get people excited. Because if you're trying to sell the

474
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,160
most hardcore of hardcore new hardware,
which is what the PS five Pro is,

475
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,720
announce it in September and tell them
about all the cool games you're going

476
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:26,480
to release in twenty twenty five.
To me, a showcase in September makes

477
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:30,720
sense, but I've heard nothing.
Well, Astro bought hit September sixth,

478
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,200
so they could do it right before
then. It really emphasized that that keeps

479
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,079
coming out ever after then, because
then, well, what's again to be

480
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:41,039
in a state where we don't know
what's happening with PlayStation again? So yeah,

481
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:47,160
I wouldn't be surprised is what I
would say. Simon Meckinley SD says,

482
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,759
Hey, Mike, between the game
sent playing in New York City traffic

483
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:55,039
and Dakatana, how many years are
taken from Jeff's lifespan? Dude, Dana

484
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:59,519
records antics. It's not look as
Dan record to blame, sure, but

485
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:03,640
Jeff just lets them. I put
my foot down. I from the very

486
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,640
beginning, was like, you are
you guy sent me the game scent?

487
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,400
I am not bringing into my house. I am not plugging it in.

488
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,279
Look if I die, yes Andy, and then I'm gonna die. All

489
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:18,680
right. That's the most yes Andy, motherfucker I've ever met in my life.

490
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:22,559
It's it's fun. You know.
It's killing me for sure, but

491
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:30,880
it's fun. Yeahtana, Mike's equally
guilty for that. Honestly, I think

492
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:33,759
Mike might be more guilty with the
day Kata. Yeah, Deely, my

493
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:37,720
idea. I have many ideas.
He just kept asking me for them.

494
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:40,319
Then he wouldn't like my other one, so they like he liked that one.

495
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,880
So you know, I try to
fight you. Dream Cast game,

496
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:48,079
Jeff was, I was I backs
gaming too much in the last club bothers

497
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:52,279
other people way more than it bothers
me, which is weird because I'm like,

498
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,640
uh, the thing about being ADHD
is you might I think you know

499
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,920
this because I can tell your sins. Wouldn't like you're I want to bring

500
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,119
something up to me that you know
I'm already gonna do. If you tell

501
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,279
some of the ADHD to do something
they're already gonna do, it will always

502
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,599
make them mad of the time.
It will piss them off. And I'm

503
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,039
playing the game and I'm about to
do bunch stuff and Michael mentioned I'm like,

504
00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:14,039
yeah, no, yeah, I
get it. It's it's like a

505
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:16,200
little annoying, but not like in
some huge way, and people are like

506
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,160
freaking out about it. I'm like, guys, we're way overreacting to this.

507
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,480
This is not a problem. Well
I will I will keep my appor

508
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,720
shit a little bit more next time. I just, like I said,

509
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,680
I do not think it's a problem. Ali Miracle says, so when you

510
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:34,039
collect when you're collecting checks from AI
gamersing giving you sinus issues, Yeah,

511
00:32:34,279 --> 00:32:37,000
listen, I will take it as
an annuity. So they could pay me

512
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:39,480
like twenty thousand dollars a week or
something like that for the rest of my

513
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:43,799
life. You're like, how it
was just going, oh, let's get

514
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:45,599
a lot of money. I was
like that. I think that, like

515
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:51,960
all this recorded video, it probably
won't up. It probably won't have yep,

516
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,559
mikey O'Leary says, already shifting my
top ten of the year down a

517
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,359
slot because you know, Astro is
going right to the top. I think

518
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,200
so it'd be like, look,
how could the game be bad? Yeah?

519
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,160
Right now, Like how could they
They can't possibly just make a bad

520
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,359
game again, Like it just looks
like they know exactly what they have.

521
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:20,240
Special Nick says Astro. It is
interesting because, like Ashow has definitely already

522
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:22,920
kind of been a little bit of
a mascot. I wonder if now,

523
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,319
like the big, full fledged game, if that really becomes the thing where

524
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,440
yeah, Astro, that's our mascot. I mean, it's it's the right

525
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,400
call, especially especially the way they
are like making it, like tying all

526
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,039
the other places stuff together with Astro. To me, that's like the kind

527
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:38,839
of thing you do when you're you're
deciding once and for all to be like,

528
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,640
no, this is the mascot.
Everyone from the PlayStation universe knows this

529
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,880
character. In fact, oh Grog
says, sure, the new Astrobot game

530
00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:52,119
looked good, but I didn't see
a Superfly Johnson. Astrobot in Mescal Mike

531
00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:58,279
is back to get canceled again.
Probably yeah, probably again time I have

532
00:33:58,359 --> 00:34:00,799
a coming, Jacob, I hate
that super Fly Johnson. I'm sorry.

533
00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:05,640
I just got to get it on
the record. Motherfucker. We have two

534
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,880
AI companion friends now. Yes,
I never had much Again, I've not

535
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,559
had much interaction with Makiko yet,
but yeah, we'll see. I thought

536
00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:15,760
it was incredible that you got transport
to ancient Greece, and Dan was like,

537
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:22,559
it's D and D not just in
tracks. I did like play for

538
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:23,760
like five seconds longer because I'm like, I just got to see what this

539
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:29,559
disc does. It's amazing. They
give you the Diakatana and it's worthless and

540
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:32,239
you should be using that disc immediately. Im My understand if that changes.

541
00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:35,880
But it's like, I just got
this thing. It should rule and it

542
00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:38,760
sucks. So you really talk that
sort up you think it'd be cool.

543
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:45,039
It sucks, Jacob bench is Hi, have you caught up on caught up

544
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:47,719
in Fompa's fourteen Ready for Dancho?
Not quite. I got a few more

545
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,920
story things to do actually, which
I have to. The thing is Wordal

546
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:58,679
Warcraft has the special Mista Pandaria Remix
event and I'm playing that right now,

547
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,960
which because that's a limited time of
and that's fun. But yeah, Don

548
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,119
Treil is gonna be here soon,
so I gotta gotta get on that.

549
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,800
Gonna when we have that. We've
got Elden Ring DLC popping off soon,

550
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,960
so once we're back for Summer Gamefest, there will be some games that I

551
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,199
will be playing for sure. T
Bucket twenty three says, can't be here

552
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,159
live. But is Keeley trembling right
now that he doesn't have a Summer Game

553
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:24,880
Fest announcement as hype as Astrobot,
Well he should be. Yeah, his

554
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,159
boots absolutely. I think he was
gonna have a pretty good shot action.

555
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,840
Yeah, me too. It seems
like he's got a lot of stuff ready

556
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,400
to go over there, so I'm
hopeful. Our Truth says, Hey kidd

557
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,960
and Christo, what's up. I
really enjoyed it. I really enjoy today's

558
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:45,519
Nintendo Direct. We got a brand
new standalone Asteroids. That's right, our

559
00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:51,840
truth Yep, very acting stuff.
It's all right. Snarpg now game fire,

560
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:55,480
kerbeter Our Lincoln member says, our
watch too, and Marvel Rivals would

561
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,000
beat Concord down anytime anywhere. We
don't know yet. We don't know.

562
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,559
Oh yet, I want to play
some Concord. Yeah, I mean I

563
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:07,239
watched, I watched people played the
Marvel Rivals Alpha. It is hilarious just

564
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:13,719
how overwatched that game is down to, like the UI, the font choices

565
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,159
and like just like the smallest details
are so just straight lifted from Overwatch,

566
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,760
and I mean at a certain point
you then you can just tell it's like,

567
00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:24,760
no, this is a business decision. That's the right move, and

568
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,079
it was probably more of a right
move several years ago. But it's like,

569
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,880
look at that gun Doom game.
It's very similar, although I think

570
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:36,800
Marvel Rivals is even more shameless.
Mu Medic says, always wanted to play

571
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:37,880
a Nicki game, so I'm so
high. Yeah, we could all use

572
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,599
a Nicki game. Sounds like,
yes, it's finally upon us. Isaac

573
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:45,960
Clark says, howdy fellas, I'm
currently watching through Seinfold for the first time,

574
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:50,440
and I'm loving every second of it. What are some of your guys'

575
00:36:50,559 --> 00:36:59,119
favorite episodes? Yeah, yeah,
all all the ones with George's father are

576
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,280
very good, Like the one with
the Maestro where there they have the pool

577
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:08,440
table in the very small room.
Yeah, they like uh he turns to

578
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:15,000
his son and some other guy into
like telemarketers in his garage. Yeah that's

579
00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:20,599
good. Yeah yeah Lloyd, Yeah
with Lloyd. The TCB one taking Care

580
00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:24,760
of Business where uh, where Kramer
goes to work at a place but he's

581
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,119
not actually employed there, but he
still shows up every day and they're just

582
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:31,800
like okay, and he doesn't.
He's like turn reports like this is nonsense.

583
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:38,599
It's very good. Say, is
probably still the best episode. I

584
00:37:38,599 --> 00:37:42,320
know that's like not a very original
one. But watched some of the band

585
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,719
ones too. I think that maybe
there's one band one. The Puerto Rican

586
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,559
one is actually still very funny.
Yeah. Yeah, there's the one where

587
00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:52,079
the Chinese restaurant, the one where
they're all in the subway, the woman

588
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:53,960
they're looking for their car in the
parking garage. Those are good ones.

589
00:37:54,519 --> 00:38:01,440
Oh, Marine biologists. He wasn't
that they might in I Approached the Great

590
00:38:01,519 --> 00:38:10,000
Fish whatever whatever, all right.
Next one here is from Adam g C

591
00:38:10,199 --> 00:38:14,840
says Monster Hunter looked next gen as
hell. Yeah, I mean till you

592
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,199
saw all the character faces, but
I think they know what they're prioritizing in

593
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:22,320
that case, the monster faces.
Yeah, that's what the the monsters do.

594
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,360
You saw her the character faces.
I was gonna say, I did

595
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:30,880
notice some reactions in the chat when
they showed the the monster mommy or what

596
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,079
I think is what you guys are
calling them about him. Yeah, there's

597
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:39,159
a monster mommy. Say who was
reacting? I think the guilty might be

598
00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:45,320
among us right now. There were
several like of the Aluga text avery,

599
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:49,960
wolves and chat and stuff when she
came on the screen. So some faces

600
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,320
big fans of tell me I'm wrong, Jeff, tell me I'm wrong,

601
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:58,159
You're got wrong, You're not wrong. I was also a fan. I

602
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,800
just googled monster mommy and I probably
shouldn't have done that. All right,

603
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,559
Next one hears from B Diddy says, hope you feel better soon, grub

604
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,760
Yeah, man, it's getting worse. Actually, have you taken it out

605
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,719
of the room? No, I
mean it's it's Do you really think it's

606
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,639
just sitting there's gonna be okay,
I'll take it out of the room.

607
00:39:16,679 --> 00:39:20,840
Fuck, yes, take out right, maybe wipe things down with like a

608
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,840
yeah. But it's an effectant thing
or something. All right, yeah at

609
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:30,079
this point, like I'm also actually
sick. I'm sure Phil my ass up

610
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:35,440
says dogs is our education system failing? Why did Jeff followers think May only

611
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,719
has twenty eight eighths in it?
Also Astro finally a real first party game.

612
00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:43,920
Mean's just that Jeff like told them
what was happening, and they,

613
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:46,639
like, you know, children wanted
it now now now now to the point

614
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:50,119
where when it didn't happen, now, well, I guess not happening.

615
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,920
There's other people who are just weird
about Jeff and think that everything he says

616
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,079
is a lie, even though it's
almost always true, or it's just something

617
00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:00,599
got changed eternally. The one time
he was wrong about something was the wind

618
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:05,920
Waker thing, which was my fault
for getting confused and mixed up about something,

619
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,039
and then Jeff just didn't want to
break my heart so he went along

620
00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:12,079
with it. So Jeff's always right
actually, like you know, like,

621
00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:15,719
yeah, so one versus one hundred
didn't happen like Jeff said, because they

622
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:21,480
canceled it because they're yes, exactly
who they were Metroid Prime, you said

623
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,360
it was going to happen. Uh, you know that one year and then

624
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:28,239
happened the next year. Well,
because they deleted internally. That's why those

625
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,800
kinds of things happen all the time. Of course, yep, it was.

626
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,400
It was. It was frustrating,
mostly just because like I would be

627
00:40:36,519 --> 00:40:38,679
like, hey, I'm sad that
Bill Walton just died, and then the

628
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:44,199
responses would be where's the showcase?
And I'm like, I would actually probably

629
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,039
fight you right now if you were
here. It was kind of it was

630
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:49,159
getting pretty sick of it at that
point. I was I did enjoy you

631
00:40:49,199 --> 00:40:52,719
stunting on them though they announced it. H yeah, good and it's good.

632
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,639
I do you realize like Twitter like
unlock setting me because I would never

633
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,760
like do that really on the podcast
all that much because it's like that's not

634
00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:02,199
really my personality. But on Twitter
it's so easy just to like fire it

635
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,079
off. And it was. It
was fun. I'm glad. It was

636
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:07,800
a good time. Most people appreciate
it. Burrito says, You're is may

637
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,960
overtweet might be the new It's gonna
be may It's I've been laughing at that

638
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,400
for days. You see the new
banner for our gaming I didn't see that.

639
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:20,599
That was that was very funny.
It's and it's that is where I

640
00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:22,239
know there's a couple of people on
on that. It's very few people.

641
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,960
So I recognize that more people enjoyed
that tweet than did not by far.

642
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,039
But people are like, man,
he was insulting fans, and I'm like,

643
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:32,280
you don't just know how many days
are in May? Please? That's

644
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:38,000
all asking. Also, who care
I'm insulting the fan? Yeah? Yeah,

645
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:42,559
yeah, come on, And it's
like, just be talking about right

646
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,239
God, insulting the fans? Uh? Conno, Woods says released the Shadow

647
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:52,079
says fuck cut sega, did you
see this? What? No? Apparently

648
00:41:52,159 --> 00:41:54,039
there's like hours of footage of I
guess the voice actor for a Shadow.

649
00:41:54,039 --> 00:41:55,800
I didn't look at it too closely. I think I saw a clip,

650
00:41:57,039 --> 00:42:00,320
but it's like all the blueber lines
are just saying fuck a bunch. No,

651
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,119
no, no, no, no
no. Jason had said in an

652
00:42:04,159 --> 00:42:07,760
interview that apparently they were initially going
for an M rating, and so they

653
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,400
didn't know if they were going in
that direction or if they would go for

654
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,760
the E ten that got released.
No, So they had him record dual

655
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,960
voice lines for where one was a
hedgehog for the Hedgehog, where one would

656
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,280
be like, you know what actually
got in the game in the era would

657
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,400
be dropping f bombs everything that's incredible, edible. Okay, No, fully

658
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,719
on board with the release of the
fun cut. That's incredible. We're almost

659
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,519
halfway through the Year of Shadow.
How are you feeling about it so far?

660
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:38,360
I mean, I feel like they
could be doing more. Can you

661
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:45,000
see him Shadow? I don't think
it's gonna be like the Fall of Shadow.

662
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,719
Maybe that's it. Yeah, Bander
said, says I'd pay seventy dollars

663
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,480
for this Astra game, but do
we think this is seven dollars? I

664
00:42:53,519 --> 00:42:58,119
think it will look returnal with seven
dollars. I know they got criticized for

665
00:42:58,199 --> 00:43:00,400
it. We'll get criticized for it
then, I guess. I don't know.

666
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,920
Yeah, I think it should be
seventy dollars. I think it probably

667
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,360
will be seventy dollars. Next one
is from Iceman three one one oh says

668
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,800
thoughts on starting a series out of
order. I want to play on chart

669
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,719
four, but feel compelled to play
one through three. First one's feeling a

670
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:21,039
bit long and dated so far.
I mean, I like playing things in

671
00:43:21,159 --> 00:43:24,880
order most of the time. Just
because I usually pretty immune to like old

672
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,440
games feeling old, and I sometimes
like the way they feel old. That's

673
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,760
bothering you with like Uncharted, Just
play Uncharted four. I think it's just

674
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,800
play on Charted for what still will
be a YouTube video with a story synopsis

675
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,840
that'll be good enough for you.
Yeah, And honestly, it's like,

676
00:43:39,519 --> 00:43:43,800
you play four and then you get
all. They do a good job of

677
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,400
sort of like hooking you into what's
happened so far to get these characters in

678
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,679
this position, and then if you
are so compelled, you can still go

679
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,280
back and you just experience a slightly
different order, but all the emotional beats

680
00:43:53,320 --> 00:44:00,079
will still work, I promise.
Uh. Tyrant says first five sects of

681
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,280
Astro, I freaked out thinking it
was a so be doing a layer.

682
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,920
Concord is a way, so that
sweetest logo. I'd rather have the Guardians

683
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,239
of the game. It's a good
logo. Yeah, it's a good look.

684
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,840
Kind of a weird name for a
sci fi game. We say Concord.

685
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,760
I actually think of something like bird
ish. Yeah, we had this

686
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:21,760
conversation before because con yeah, the
concord plane, and then there's condors the

687
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,079
bird Yes, I I same thing. I don't think of the grapes,

688
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:29,880
although that is there's the concord grapes, but I don't know. You're right,

689
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,880
it's a weird name. Logo's very
good. I have no idea how

690
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,800
to feel about the game, although
you said the Guardians of the Galaxy team.

691
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,079
Now I kind of want to play
that game again. Very different game

692
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:40,480
though. Michael Kavanaugh gave a super
chat dot common. Thank you so much

693
00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:45,840
for the first propaganda. Panta says
grub. When is the next state of

694
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:52,440
play? Yeah? Look, yes, o, yes, there it is.

695
00:44:53,119 --> 00:44:55,199
There was a state of play in
the past, and may is still

696
00:44:55,199 --> 00:45:00,480
happening. How is that possible?
JD. Camp says, well, will

697
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:05,639
you get a ride photo holding hands? But trying to think what rides?

698
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,360
Oh? If we do the cars
ride together, we can hold hands on

699
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,159
that. When that one doesn't photo
Tianna won't be open yet, I think,

700
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:14,519
and I'm not riding it. I'm
afraid of that drop. How many

701
00:45:14,559 --> 00:45:19,440
other rides in Disneyland even do photo
ops? Really, it's not a ton

702
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:22,079
of them. Maybe cars, maybe
cars will take over. Okay, that's

703
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,039
me, We'll make it happen.
I haven't done that. Cars, right,

704
00:45:23,079 --> 00:45:28,719
thank you for the twentieth Super Chepily
JD Camp, JD Kyle Bart with

705
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,719
their fifth supers. That says,
for Jeff, I can't are already have

706
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:37,119
an analog pocket. What's the next
handheld you recommend? Okay, the one

707
00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:43,480
I recommend based on experience would probably
be the MEU Mini Plus. It is.

708
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,760
Keep in mind, it's going to
be more limited in terms of like

709
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,639
some of them compared to some of
the other handhelds, but it's very good

710
00:45:51,639 --> 00:45:55,920
at what it does. I really
enjoy playing Super Nintendo games and previous on

711
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,000
there. But the one I'm looking
forward to, and the one I would

712
00:46:00,039 --> 00:46:04,440
say keep an eye on is the
SP from and Bernick. I can't remember.

713
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,679
It's got some other code name,
but everyone just calls with the SP.

714
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,239
The SP is in the code name
so that you'll be able to find

715
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,800
it that way. Mine should be
getting here any day now, and I'm

716
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,800
so excited by all accounts. It's
a really well done product and it looks

717
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,800
very cool. And that's another one
where it's like you're probably going to be

718
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,400
playing the game Boy Advanced games on
there. Mostly you can play some other

719
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:29,480
stuff if you want. One that
is like Dreamcast and maybe PS two.

720
00:46:29,519 --> 00:46:32,719
Even there's a few of those.
There's that new Odin or the newer Iin

721
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,280
Odin Mini or whatever. I think
Amberdick has kind of like a spherical looking

722
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:42,280
one that is apparently pretty powerful as
well. I haven't used those. Some

723
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,159
of them are pretty expensive, so
I would definitely like look at a bunch

724
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:50,000
of videos, and of course retro
game Core and talk You'd on those are

725
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,719
good sources for that sort of thing. Ten Derek says, I was starting

726
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,840
to get worried about the state of
play might being delayed, so it was

727
00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:00,079
good to see the announcement, even
better to see Jeff on Twitter afterwards to

728
00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:01,360
do that more. Yeah, Jeff, were you did you ever like have

729
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,559
doubts because I know, for a
bit we thought maybe it was gonna be

730
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:07,599
on the twenty eighth, and then
when the twenty eighth then it happened.

731
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:08,719
You know, I'm not saying I
lost the faith. I was getting a

732
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:14,119
little scared. Yeah, when this
happens, typically what I do is it's

733
00:47:14,159 --> 00:47:17,679
like, you know, twenty like
I hear from multiple people and you hear

734
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:22,639
different things. So when the twenty
eighth date is like it's kind of like

735
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:23,920
out there and it was. So
that was one of those things where it's

736
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,880
like, I guess it could be
the twenty eighth, but it's not.

737
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,079
I'm not hearing it from like these
number one primary sources. But stay maybe

738
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,280
what I do is like I check
in with everybody, and it's like,

739
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,920
what happens is what always happens.
They're like, look, this thing's still

740
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,119
supposed to happen, and I'm like, Okay, well nothing's changed. It's

741
00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:44,639
supposed to happen, so it's probably
gonna happen. That doesn't mean I don't

742
00:47:44,639 --> 00:47:46,400
feel nervous. It's like, man, it's gonna suck if it doesn't happen.

743
00:47:47,199 --> 00:47:50,079
And what am I going to tell
people? Like, you know,

744
00:47:51,039 --> 00:47:53,199
I got wrong? So no,
it's something must have changed because everyone that

745
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,719
knows what they're talking about is telling
me something. And then if something changed

746
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,800
out from underneath them, that's possible, but that's weird. But it's like,

747
00:48:00,199 --> 00:48:04,199
as far as I could tell,
this thing is going to happen.

748
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,320
So yeah, that's kind of how
I was looking at it, which is

749
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,480
why, like when people were still
asking me about it, I wasn't going

750
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:12,239
to fully go out there and explain
every little detail about how I'm feeling.

751
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,320
But I you know, I do
the picture of uh I didn't hear no

752
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,199
bell from Rocky and it's like that's
how I felt. It's like it's still

753
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:22,320
may It's still supposed to happen as
far as I know that. Boy Jerry

754
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,440
says, should I get this new
cheeseburger from Arby's? Usually only go for

755
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,400
beef and cheddars? Do I trust
the burgers? They have good burgers.

756
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:30,960
The burgers are good now. Look
like for me it was like, ah,

757
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,239
it was fun to get once and
now I'm going back to get like

758
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,000
you know, my RB's stuff there. But I think it's I think you

759
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,559
should try it at least once.
It's fun. Yeah, yeah, I

760
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:39,960
mean yeah, you might end up
liking and go back there. I think

761
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,960
I've said it a couple of times, but yeah, so I coulda be

762
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,280
bad. You're going to like it? Is it going to become like the

763
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,480
thing you want to get instead of
a beef cheddar? I don't know,

764
00:48:46,559 --> 00:48:50,480
but try something new. Yeah,
I still might go to still just a

765
00:48:50,519 --> 00:48:52,760
classic gross beef. I do like
the classes well rist beef. They they

766
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,719
they give me a lot of cupons
every time I go there. Though,

767
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,800
so sometimes I use my beef and
cheddar cupon and like, like, I

768
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,639
can't live like that all the time. Sure, boy, that beef and

769
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:07,440
cheddar Man. That cheese sauce that
is like maybe the best cheese sauce.

770
00:49:07,639 --> 00:49:10,920
Yeah, it's really riching good cheese
sauce. Yeah. Kids really like though,

771
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,320
classic roaspe so that's their favorite thing
from fast food. Right now,

772
00:49:15,559 --> 00:49:17,880
Jeff, that's it for the super
chests for now. Everybody, thank you

773
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,920
so much. If you want to
send in more super chats, we will

774
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,519
read those before the end of the
show. We already have hit one hundred

775
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,360
likes. I don't have to yell
at anybody. Thank you so much.

776
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,039
Everyone, Thank you really appreciate it. Jeff. Back to you, sir.

777
00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:35,480
Yep. All right, what we're
gonna do is we're gonna take another

778
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,360
break. We're gonna get set up
for our topic this week. This week,

779
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,920
which is gonna be a game of
the year to twenty twenty one.

780
00:49:40,199 --> 00:49:49,360
We'll talk about that right after this. All right, we are back.

781
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,119
Been a good show so far,
but now it's time to determine once and

782
00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:55,679
for all what is the best game
of twenty twenty one. I'm so I'm

783
00:49:55,679 --> 00:49:59,639
surprised no one's thought to do this
yet. We are the first ones to

784
00:49:59,639 --> 00:50:01,480
figure at the game of the Year
of twenty twenty one. But we're going

785
00:50:01,559 --> 00:50:05,760
to hop in there. What we
do is me and Mike throw a bunch

786
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,000
of games to do a list.
We cut it down to five yeah,

787
00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:13,159
five right, all right, and
then we rank them and we're gonna do

788
00:50:13,199 --> 00:50:15,440
all that. We also get help
from the podcast producers and the discord we'll

789
00:50:15,519 --> 00:50:19,719
check in on them here as well
here pretty soon. But Mike, where

790
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,760
do you want to start? I
think I'm going to start with Ratchet and

791
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,039
Clink Rift up part. That's a
good place to start. Yeah, I

792
00:50:28,039 --> 00:50:30,840
mean talked about this earlier, and
yeah, I like three D platformers.

793
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:35,800
I think that this game is super
super neat and the things that was doing

794
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,679
with all of the portals, that's
a fun trick, especially when it's doing

795
00:50:39,679 --> 00:50:43,199
these moments where you're kind of going
through them multiple times, You're going to

796
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,960
different areas. I remember there's a
boss fight in the middle where the boss

797
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,840
is kind of sending you through these
things, so the boss arena is just

798
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,559
constantly changing. But just you know, Ratch and Clink always feels good and

799
00:50:53,599 --> 00:50:59,119
This one also feels really slick.
You've got some fun new characters here.

800
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:00,639
Even some of the MIDI game things, like the little hacking thing you're doing

801
00:51:00,679 --> 00:51:06,360
with that little robot shooter stuff,
was a lot of fun. A gorgeous,

802
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,119
gorgeous game. I'm a big fan
of Ratchet and Clink. Writ them

803
00:51:09,159 --> 00:51:15,199
are probably still my favorite PS five
game at the moment. Great stuff.

804
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:16,800
Yeah, you know, I feel
the same way about Ratcheting the clank,

805
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:22,639
reretching Clink, Ratchet and the clank, Clink and the clank. Yeah it

806
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:27,480
is. I remember getting this for
review, sitting down to play it and

807
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,159
just not stopping basically until I finished
it because it's such a fun ride.

808
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,159
Really an ideal, I think,
an ideal action platformer where you do want

809
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:43,039
it to feel like a roller coaster. There is some like exploring the levels,

810
00:51:43,079 --> 00:51:45,639
but not so much because it's like, you know, that's not necessarily

811
00:51:45,679 --> 00:51:49,440
the strength, but it's also very
far from being a weakness. That's not

812
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,119
what I'm saying. It's just it
knows what it does best and it gives

813
00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:55,599
you a ton of that stuff,
which is just like these great set pieces,

814
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:01,000
awesome animation, great looking weapons,
great look enemies, and in like

815
00:52:01,039 --> 00:52:05,280
really well detailed worlds. Yeah,
just a big fan of Ratchet Clank.

816
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:14,559
All right, let's see here.
I will go with Metroid Dread, which

817
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:21,440
is just a game I think about
constantly. I think that this was such

818
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,239
a great job of recapturing what we
want from two D Metroid games. Where

819
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:30,800
it is it is that expiration,
It is this great escalation of abilities.

820
00:52:34,039 --> 00:52:37,960
It moved so well, it felt
so good. It also just nails characterization

821
00:52:38,199 --> 00:52:44,000
for a game that doesn't It doesn't
it doesn't overdo it, but barely does

822
00:52:44,039 --> 00:52:47,760
it at all. It just is
so strategic with deploying these character moments that

823
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:52,360
they hit really hard. And then
it has one of the best sort of

824
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,599
like final acts of a game ever
where just in at least final moments,

825
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,800
everything is solved, everything comes together. You're more powerful than ever for really

826
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,239
great reasons. It's just awesome.
Yeah, the boss fights are just so

827
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,719
good, the abilities are so fun. This but even just like that slide

828
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,559
feels great. The Perry which comes
back from from the Metroid two remake,

829
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:15,480
Yes, that was actually awesome.
That little blinking move that you can do

830
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,800
the stuff with avoiding those evil robots. The Emmys like that's very offense,

831
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,559
and it feels great and a fantastic
game to play through multiple times, like

832
00:53:23,599 --> 00:53:27,599
I played through it four or five
times, like in a row, just

833
00:53:27,679 --> 00:53:30,519
unlocking all those different like end card
sequences, because it was like, here's

834
00:53:30,519 --> 00:53:35,760
the Super Metroid one and the you
know the here's here's the Metrofusion one.

835
00:53:36,159 --> 00:53:39,079
Such a fantastic game, Like my
only nitpicky things like I wish the music

836
00:53:39,119 --> 00:53:43,719
was a bit better because it's Metroid, but that's it. I love the

837
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,920
setting too. I love that it
was very kind of choso ruined focus and

838
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,880
kind of like science lab focus.
I thought that the vibe stood out.

839
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,920
It wasn't just more like kind of
dark caves, which sometimes metroly can devolve

840
00:53:55,079 --> 00:53:59,719
a little bit too much into.
This game had a vibe all of its

841
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,039
own, fantastic stuff. Yep.
Kind of just talking about it makes me

842
00:54:04,039 --> 00:54:06,199
want to play it again, which
I know is what makes it one of

843
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:07,199
my favorite games of all the time. That's what happens with those kinds of

844
00:54:07,199 --> 00:54:12,239
games. All right, what else
do Mike keep me up with my this?

845
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,719
I remember it's being a good year
for three platformers, and I thought

846
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,119
Psychokouts too is a game that really
delivered, and it could have been a

847
00:54:17,199 --> 00:54:22,400
game that didn't. Right. Yeah, like long awaited sequel to a beloved

848
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,960
game with a bunch of Kickstarter money
or fing or whatever. It was kind

849
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:31,119
of stick behind it right of course
Microsoft at this point was involved. But

850
00:54:31,199 --> 00:54:37,079
this game came out and really delivered. I think it's better than the first

851
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,960
in just about every way. The
platform feels good, it's it's a very

852
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,519
unique looking game. They hit the
psychic abilities all feel fun. The story

853
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:50,679
even rolls at a great pace.
I think they over delivered with psych kouts

854
00:54:50,679 --> 00:54:53,400
too, in a really satisfying way. Yeah, somehow I forgot that you

855
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,519
were a big psycond Nuts too,
Mark, I didn't remember that. I'm

856
00:54:57,559 --> 00:54:59,599
glad to hear it. Though.
I also really like Psyconduts two. I

857
00:54:59,639 --> 00:55:01,079
don't know, you know, I
think I actually did go back and up

858
00:55:01,559 --> 00:55:06,880
beating that game. I think I
had a really bad problem where it was

859
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,199
causing my xboxes to crash in one
scene. Fine and yeah, and like

860
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,519
no matter what I did, it
kept crashing, So I sort of had

861
00:55:13,559 --> 00:55:15,559
to think. I went to go
then play it on PC and like get

862
00:55:15,599 --> 00:55:19,760
past that area and that fixed it. But yeah, second, that's too

863
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,360
is just really well put together.
It's like it's fun to play, and

864
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:28,960
then it has all of the great
Tim Shaeffer stuff of excellent writing, great

865
00:55:29,039 --> 00:55:34,199
characters, and that stitches the whole
world together. I think next for me

866
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,280
would be hit Man three. Oh
god, really, that's this year's shit.

867
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,599
Yes, I remember that launched in
like January of that year. I

868
00:55:40,639 --> 00:55:45,599
believe you double check on that.
I think that's twenty twenty one. Yes,

869
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:46,719
we didn't do it for twenty twenty. I think you're right. It

870
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,880
has to be. Yeah, I
think yeah, is this year. Yeah,

871
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,239
it is twenty twenty one for sure. January, so it was early,

872
00:55:53,679 --> 00:55:55,840
right, it was early. I
do remember it launching in January and

873
00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:00,000
like being very excited about that,
like having something awesome early in the year.

874
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,719
Hit Man three is you know,
this is the hit Man game we're

875
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,320
still playing today because this is where
they brought it all together. They eventually

876
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,840
made it all one big hit Man
platform. But the levels in hit Man

877
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:15,840
three are fantastic. The the improvements
they made to like you know, how

878
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,840
mirrors work and stuff like that.
You know, it is like one continual

879
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,199
sort of improvement from Hitman hit Man
two to hit Man three. But this

880
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,400
one is like there's a reason this
is like, hey, we figured it

881
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,440
all out, we could bring everything
into the hit Man three engine. Now

882
00:56:30,559 --> 00:56:34,079
it's sort of let it live there, and now you can do that,

883
00:56:34,159 --> 00:56:38,320
and it's this massive experience, this
awesome playground. And yeah, honestly,

884
00:56:38,519 --> 00:56:42,480
if I were to think about any
game that I'm going to be playing for

885
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,719
the rest of my life out of
these games from this year, it probably

886
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:49,960
will be hit Man three at Dartmouth
level. Huh yeah, yes, yes,

887
00:56:50,039 --> 00:56:54,760
the mansion sort of coming off and
coming out of knives out and then

888
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:00,559
getting that level and realizing that they
made some references to that movie in the

889
00:57:00,679 --> 00:57:04,400
in the level where they're just that
baseball sitting outside the window. That's very

890
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,639
fun. But just the level itself
is so clever, so well designed,

891
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:09,639
such an awesome place, and that's
you know, the joy of Hitman is

892
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:15,840
having this complicated, like you know, moving clock tower sort of thing experience

893
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:21,880
and then figuring out how it works
and then completely decompiling it and figuring out

894
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,119
how you could mess around with it
in some new and novel ways. And

895
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:28,000
that level was ideal for that.
Yeah, it's man, I mean,

896
00:57:28,039 --> 00:57:30,519
those those Hitman games are just so
good that any you know, there's kind

897
00:57:30,519 --> 00:57:34,159
of three of them, but also
kind of one game, right, Yeah,

898
00:57:34,199 --> 00:57:37,599
so something's a little like weird there. It's games like that final level

899
00:57:37,679 --> 00:57:42,800
is a little weird, crazy thing, weird, little little weird. Probably

900
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,000
the kind of thing where I I
get why that happens when they have gone

901
00:57:46,039 --> 00:57:50,639
from you know, publisher to publisher
and then we're kind of doing stuff on

902
00:57:50,679 --> 00:57:52,719
their own. Probably had to like
wrap things up in a way to say

903
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:59,239
budget the real final level, the
one before that, that's the Argentinian level,

904
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,239
right, Christian Vineyard, Yes,
yeah, Vinyard. Yeah, that

905
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:07,440
level is amazing, some really great
like some great like story moments when you

906
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,639
play through that story campaign and then
there's just so much happening in that stage.

907
00:58:10,639 --> 00:58:16,599
It's it's incredible. A Loo Infinite
was twenty twenty one. Yeah,

908
00:58:16,679 --> 00:58:21,400
I was gonna mention if you didn't. I still really liked this game,

909
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,239
and I still understand that some people
had some problems with like the season passes

910
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:30,639
and the cadence of content. I've
still always confused. So that turned into

911
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:35,079
actually that's a bad game, because
I thought that the campaign was a lot

912
00:58:35,079 --> 00:58:37,039
of fun. I loved the open
world stuff, they're doing. I thought

913
00:58:37,079 --> 00:58:44,599
the grappling hook felt great. The
shooting and all that was still fantastic.

914
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:49,760
The multiplayer was actually a ton of
fun playing. You know. We got

915
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,039
some big groups together and we were
running around some of those like really big

916
00:58:52,159 --> 00:58:57,639
team fights. Yep. And we
had a lot of silly blast every time.

917
00:58:58,039 --> 00:59:00,360
Yeah. I don't know. It's
like if people will soured on this

918
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,880
game for some reason or another,
that's fine. But I have basically nothing

919
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,079
but good memories with this game,
more than I have of any other Halo

920
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:10,360
game, to be honest, Yep. That's part of it for me is

921
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:15,679
like I am not a Halo guy, and this turned me into quite a

922
00:59:15,679 --> 00:59:17,480
bit of one. I was not
here for the story. I know for

923
00:59:17,519 --> 00:59:22,239
a lot of people, the narrative
of Halo is a huge part of it

924
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,119
for them. I can't speak to
that. All I know is I really

925
00:59:24,239 --> 00:59:28,320
enjoyed the campaign. I thought it
did a good job of providing like a

926
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,480
fun little sandbox to have fun in, to mess around with the tools they

927
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:36,559
give you. I don't think it
was like a Game of the Year experience

928
00:59:36,639 --> 00:59:38,239
on its own, that campaign,
but it was a strong four out of

929
00:59:38,239 --> 00:59:43,599
five campaign for me. At the
end of the day. The corridor sections

930
00:59:43,639 --> 00:59:45,000
at the end were a little bit
that's where like it really kind of fell

931
00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:49,599
apart from me. But the multiplayer
was just fun the end every time we

932
00:59:49,639 --> 00:59:52,559
played it, and I played it
as like a kind of a casual multiplayer

933
00:59:52,679 --> 00:59:54,960
game where it's like we'll check in
on it every couple of weeks and we'll

934
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:00,760
have a game night, and it
was great. Yeah, love Halo Infinite.

935
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,719
I think the next one that I
would do is it's tough. I

936
01:00:04,719 --> 01:00:07,400
got a couple options here. I'm
like, do I burn this here?

937
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,920
And it probably won't make the list
because I don't know if you ever played

938
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,199
this, But The Forgotten City.
I did play this. I love The

939
01:00:15,239 --> 01:00:22,719
Forgotten City. It is that mystery
game where you have to unravel like a

940
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:29,199
murderer and and you're like an ancient
ROMs in a city in ancient Rome that

941
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,239
is at the bottom of this pit, and you're taken across this river by

942
01:00:32,239 --> 01:00:37,239
this lady named Karen, and you
don't really know what's going on, yes,

943
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,800
and you eventually kind of piece everything
together in a way that is super

944
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:45,800
satisfying and super cool. And it's
not like it does sound like a lot

945
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,119
of a lot of combat, but
you like get like a bone arrow,

946
01:00:47,159 --> 01:00:51,639
but it's usually used for solving puzzles
as much as it is for anything else.

947
01:00:52,039 --> 01:00:54,199
And it's just it's such a cool
experience. It was actually started as

948
01:00:54,239 --> 01:00:58,400
a Skyrim mod, I believe,
and then they built it out to be

949
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,599
a standalone game and they just nailed
it. It's like kind of the peak

950
01:01:02,639 --> 01:01:07,000
of this sort of thing for me, this genre of first person puzzle solving,

951
01:01:07,119 --> 01:01:10,360
mystery solving, narrative experience will break
the Golden rule. I thought it

952
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:14,559
was a really creative game, and
I love that kind of Skyrim influence because

953
01:01:14,679 --> 01:01:19,320
it almost does feel like I'm playing
the best Skyrim mission ever in some place.

954
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,880
That's exactly what it feels like.
Yeah, yeah, I didn't.

955
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,000
I never beat it, and I
kind of wish I did, but I

956
01:01:23,039 --> 01:01:27,840
played a lot of it and I
thought it was super impressive, really creative

957
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,719
stuff. Okay, oh, there's
a few places I can go here.

958
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,599
I think I am going to bring
up Monster Hunter Rise right now. We're

959
01:01:35,639 --> 01:01:39,519
just talking about Monster Hunter and I
liked Monster Hunter World. I did fall

960
01:01:39,559 --> 01:01:44,159
off it eventually, I stuck around
with Rise even more, I think just

961
01:01:44,159 --> 01:01:46,920
because playing it on my switch.
They feel very good. But just you

962
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,800
know, some of those changes to
the movement stuff, right, having that

963
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:55,199
dog mount and the kind of grappling
the stuff movement felt so good in this

964
01:01:55,440 --> 01:02:00,320
game. I loved the kind of
more like h Japan or Field Japan,

965
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:04,960
what you would call it aesthetics.
It was a very pre game, very

966
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:09,719
good music. The presentation of it
all was fantastic. This is probably my

967
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:15,119
favorite muster Hunter game so far.
I only played a little bit of Rise.

968
01:02:15,159 --> 01:02:17,800
I think I only played the demo
actually, but I know people love

969
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,199
this game, so I'm glad you're
ever to get it here. Okay,

970
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,719
there are two more I definitely want
to mention, so let me start with

971
01:02:25,719 --> 01:02:30,840
this one. I'll go with Return
of the ober Den, which I think

972
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,400
is a miracle game. It was
awesome that we got this and Forgotten City

973
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,480
in the same year. This was
the year for Return of the ober Den,

974
01:02:36,559 --> 01:02:38,159
right, I believe it was.
Why do I feel like that was

975
01:02:38,159 --> 01:02:42,239
brought up last? Yeah? It
was that last year? Yeah? Maybe

976
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,079
maybe last year? Just twenty eighteen? Dude? Oh really? Okay,

977
01:02:45,079 --> 01:02:49,840
okay, not even close. Okay, you know who could sit shock?

978
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,800
But do you we just going by
your heart I'm like looking at a list

979
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,920
of games, but like this must
have been like some console release or something.

980
01:02:57,039 --> 01:02:59,719
Okay, Actually that helps because it's
like that's like that would be hard

981
01:02:59,719 --> 01:03:00,800
to like I would have to knock
off some stuff for that, and it

982
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:05,000
would be a fight with you.
Let's see here the good all right,

983
01:03:05,039 --> 01:03:07,440
the Guardians of the Galaxy. There
we go. That's where I thought you

984
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,440
were going. Yes, I was
not gonna let the thing go by without

985
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:14,760
mentioning that Guardens of the Galaxy is
one that surprised me. I think I

986
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,639
was. In fact, I just
had dinner with Barrett Courtney other night and

987
01:03:16,679 --> 01:03:21,679
we mentioned that, like when that
game trailered. Him and I were both

988
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,239
like, this looks like shit,
this looks terrible. I hate everything about

989
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:29,760
like that this game's trying to do. Why they waste their time on this?

990
01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:32,800
And then I ended up playing it
and it just won me over,

991
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:38,000
like slowly and steadily. I think
that it's it is a strong characterization game

992
01:03:38,039 --> 01:03:44,800
where the team building is really good, that there's this connection between all of

993
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,800
them. They're constantly fighting, but
you could tell that they really care about

994
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:51,920
one another, and that stuff does
usually get me. It's not like the

995
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,760
most mechanically interesting game, but it
does what it needs to do to sort

996
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:58,880
of get you through that story in
a way that you always feel like you're

997
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,559
engaged in it and there's always something
fun to do. And it's also got

998
01:04:01,599 --> 01:04:04,800
a lot of scenes where it's like
you're this character. You're walking through a

999
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,920
space that they're familiar with, and
there's a ton of stuff to look at

1000
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,400
and sort of like build out like
your understanding of these people. And I

1001
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,039
appreciate that they did a really good
job with that. Yeah, I think

1002
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:17,960
it's this game's legacy kind of speaks
for itself because this is a game that

1003
01:04:18,079 --> 01:04:21,800
feels like nobody should have cared about
or everyone to talk about Passic coming out,

1004
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:27,320
and now this is a game everybody
looks back fondly on. I think

1005
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,119
it's going to kind of stick around
because of that for a long time.

1006
01:04:30,119 --> 01:04:34,519
There's going to be a legacy with
this one. It's kind of impressive stuff

1007
01:04:34,519 --> 01:04:38,360
because there's everything going against this game, and it's always it did go against

1008
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,880
it when it came to sales,
kind of pay for the sins of the

1009
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,360
Avengers game and a lot of unfair
ways. Part of that was the fault

1010
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,719
of its own marketing. For sure. There's a lot to like in this

1011
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,719
game, especially, you know,
the combat is good, but it's really

1012
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:57,719
about that writing, that characterization that
was super strong. It takes too.

1013
01:04:57,719 --> 01:05:00,000
It's kind of another one on this. Hey, this is a good year

1014
01:05:00,119 --> 01:05:01,960
for three D platformers training, because
that's basically what it is. It is

1015
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:08,039
a co op three D platformer,
and it is really clever with that stuff,

1016
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,559
with the mechanics and the level design. Like there's always sections like,

1017
01:05:11,639 --> 01:05:14,480
hey, the one character has like
a nail gun, the other character has

1018
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,679
a hammer. It just kind of
things like that. Some of the writing

1019
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:23,360
is a little bit obnoxious for sure, but the gameplay feels very good.

1020
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,320
This is still one of the most
fun co op experiences that I think you

1021
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:30,400
can actually have. This is the
one that won the Game Awards that year.

1022
01:05:30,639 --> 01:05:32,119
Yes, it is, by the
way, and I wasn't that upset

1023
01:05:32,119 --> 01:05:34,199
about it. I was like,
no, that's that is actually I know

1024
01:05:34,199 --> 01:05:35,760
you're a big fan of it.
Tickets too, Yeah, I know you

1025
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,320
really like that super fun. Some
day we'll someday we'll do our play through

1026
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,320
of it. Don't want Yeah,
we'll do it. Yeah. Absolutely.

1027
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,199
I still have not played it though
personally do you want to take it to

1028
01:05:45,239 --> 01:05:47,800
the podcast producers now or do you
have any others you want to make sure

1029
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:51,880
we mentioned before we go. Before
we go, I want to make sure

1030
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:59,400
this year Super Mario three D World
plus Bowser's Fury was the other. Uh

1031
01:05:59,559 --> 01:06:03,800
oh well, oh wow, that
was this year that took a three D

1032
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,559
World, which was a game that
I liked find but I was like probably

1033
01:06:06,559 --> 01:06:10,960
in the bottom of my tier list
for three D Mario platformers. It was

1034
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,920
just a few changes, speeding up
a little bit, adding like a move

1035
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:19,400
or two from Odyssey in here,
and I suddenly loved the three D World

1036
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,320
campaign. It's like one of the
most fun Mari experiences I ever had.

1037
01:06:23,559 --> 01:06:30,199
And then Bowser's Fury is a super
fun just kind of kind of test of

1038
01:06:30,239 --> 01:06:34,920
like what more open world Mario would
feel like a full game, a full

1039
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,079
game. It's yeah, it's like, you know, like four hours instead

1040
01:06:38,079 --> 01:06:41,679
of like eight I guess, but
it just is a full game. Man's

1041
01:06:41,679 --> 01:06:43,880
how long it took to be like
an old two D Mario for sure?

1042
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:48,960
Yeah, all this interesting level design, uh, just fantastic stuff. I

1043
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:53,039
love three D World and bowsers Fury, even if it got me put into

1044
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,119
I was about to ask, it's
just this, this was the one,

1045
01:06:56,239 --> 01:07:01,079
wasn't Apparently I've been in Nintendo Joe
for three years now or something on there

1046
01:07:01,079 --> 01:07:04,840
it is with no end in sight. You don't need to know how long

1047
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:10,400
your sittence is going to be.
Yeah, Nintendo Jail. All right,

1048
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,039
So we have Ratchet, Clake,
METROI, Dread, Psychoonouts two, hit

1049
01:07:14,079 --> 01:07:16,639
Man three, Halo, Infidite,
The Forgotten City, Monster Hunter Rise,

1050
01:07:16,679 --> 01:07:19,719
Guardians of the Galaxy. It takes
two in a Super Mario with three dy

1051
01:07:19,719 --> 01:07:26,719
World plus Spouser's fury. I will
get over to the podcast thinking of I'm

1052
01:07:26,719 --> 01:07:29,840
going to see it the podcast exacting
them up? Can you can you put

1053
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,119
Final Fantasy fourteen end Walker? Just
for me? Sure? Just for me?

1054
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,559
I didn't bring it up. Ed
Walker is another very good expansion,

1055
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,480
quite as good as do you like
it more than the Shadow Bringers? I

1056
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,800
think a Shadow brings a better expansion, like as a game or all,

1057
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,719
but I like more than Walker.
I never know it, and Walker has

1058
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,320
a very satisfying ending. There's a
lot of fun stuff there. All right,

1059
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:59,159
let's see almost ready there we go
almost d alright, podcast producers,

1060
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:05,239
Oh god, there's Doominal crossing with
one of the best shots for Metroid Dread

1061
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:10,079
God, this moment ruled very,
very good game. I know we're not

1062
01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:13,519
really thinking about two D Metro right
now because we're all wondering about the Metro

1063
01:08:13,599 --> 01:08:16,439
Primary Masters the Metro point four,
But boy, I sure do hope that

1064
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:20,199
we do just get a sequel to
Dread from that since twenty twenty one amazing

1065
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:25,680
Metro twenty four. Yeah, I
mean Troit Sex, I need it.

1066
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,800
It wouldn't be impossible that there's like
a sequel ready to go, but I

1067
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,560
would It's a kind of thing where
it's like they would probably do that well

1068
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,720
I don't know, Yeah, they
would probably do that on the next switch

1069
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,840
and just like let that happen in
like twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six,

1070
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:43,079
which would be fine with me.
Jackie G says that Neo the World

1071
01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:45,239
ends with you, I believe.
Yeah, I don't know why. I

1072
01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:48,279
love the original World ends with you
and this one did nothing for me.

1073
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:53,159
Yeah, I don't ever hear many
people talking about it this one. I'm

1074
01:08:53,159 --> 01:08:57,880
not surprised that didn't take long.
Freedom k Liberty Bell says Lady Dematresque or

1075
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:02,520
specifically Resident Evil Village as Evil Village
or Evil eight is very good. A

1076
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:06,079
lot of fun stuff. Some of
it. It feels like a lot of

1077
01:09:06,119 --> 01:09:10,520
really good parts that maybe don't super
come together, and maybe that's what I

1078
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,399
feel about it. Credible rememberable experience
like Lady Demastrat's castle is great, and

1079
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,600
maybe that should have been the whole
game. There are some other kind of

1080
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,760
neat areas, but yeah, it
doesn't quite become top tier Resident Evil,

1081
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:27,359
but still very good. This is
definitely still capcom and it's kind of Swagger

1082
01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:30,479
era. Yep, the best Mammy
of twenty twenty one best Yeah, I

1083
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:32,079
mean we're people are still talking about
this character, and yeah, we get

1084
01:09:32,119 --> 01:09:34,279
to a point where if I think
they really knew what they had there,

1085
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:38,239
again, she would just be the
main villain in the whole game would have

1086
01:09:38,279 --> 01:09:43,000
been about her. Yep. Mister
Buller says Psychonauts too. Doctor Ryan also

1087
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,039
says Residentvial Village with a picture of
Lady Dematresque. Tommy Pencil says the Forgotten

1088
01:09:47,079 --> 01:09:51,680
City right right there with you.
Nick Turbo says Persona five Strikers. This

1089
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,880
is one I did actually want to
bring up because this game really surprised me

1090
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,720
I thought it was just gonna be
another kind of dumb Musso spinoff, and

1091
01:10:00,039 --> 01:10:02,640
on the fire Strikers is almost like
Persona five. You've got a lot more

1092
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,600
than that. It's not just a
Muso yeah, and I mean it's even

1093
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:09,640
that much of a Musa together.
There are a lot of enemies. It's

1094
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,920
really just more of an action RPG
with a lot of enemies. There's a

1095
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,600
little bit of that Musso stuff in
it, but doesn't feel like like when

1096
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,319
you're playing Higher Warriors that's like,
oh well, this is the Zelda version

1097
01:10:18,319 --> 01:10:24,039
of Dynasty Warriors. This still feels
mostly like Persona than anything else. It's

1098
01:10:24,119 --> 01:10:28,039
just a get real time action instead
of turn based, and it's a sequel

1099
01:10:28,079 --> 01:10:31,920
story and all that stuff. I
was surprised how much of a game this

1100
01:10:32,199 --> 01:10:38,279
was. I suppose that's very good. All right, let's see here Mex

1101
01:10:38,359 --> 01:10:42,680
says end Walker from Final fourteen.
Yep, good poster there for end Walker.

1102
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,439
We got Don Trail just a couple
months or so. Now, gee,

1103
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:50,560
not long at all, Low Rule
says Metroid dread got those boss fights

1104
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:55,960
with cutaway action sequences were so good. God, I want a Raven Beek,

1105
01:10:56,039 --> 01:11:00,600
right, I want him for Smash
So Bad, Brother's character so happy.

1106
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:08,039
Oh it was Inscription twenty twenty one. Joy mentioned that it is after

1107
01:11:08,159 --> 01:11:12,439
Mike came for Outer Wild or yeah, return of the over Deen Outer wilds

1108
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,119
Oh yeah, okay, the backstab
Zone for what is that? Fine?

1109
01:11:17,279 --> 01:11:24,560
That's Sean being shocked that I took
out he said, single hands favorite games

1110
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:29,760
of all time out the lists.
I have not played Inscription. I don't

1111
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,399
know how you feel about it,
Jess. I like it a lot,

1112
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:36,119
but if if anyone remembers, they
probably don't mean you probably weren't listening.

1113
01:11:36,119 --> 01:11:41,520
Then. For our games B Game
of the Year, I took Inscription off

1114
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,239
our list and replaced it with Guardians
in the Galaxy. I think I remember.

1115
01:11:45,399 --> 01:11:47,600
I like. I like Inscription a
lot, I do, but it's

1116
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:51,119
I did not. It did not
become my everything the way I did with

1117
01:11:51,159 --> 01:11:57,239
some people. Look at how happy
I am to murder these buddies keep piling

1118
01:11:57,279 --> 01:12:02,840
up. I love Jeff protecting that. Yeah, fine, that's good.

1119
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:08,399
He tried, though he definitely tried. Alexa Gogo says hit Man three.

1120
01:12:09,199 --> 01:12:12,520
Yeah, got those games. I
like that logo too. I hope we

1121
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,520
hear about I hope we hear about
that Double seven games soon. Yeah,

1122
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,800
I'm looking forward to but also so
that we can like, you know,

1123
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,199
release that game and then maybe make
another Hitman. Yeah. I mean,

1124
01:12:21,239 --> 01:12:25,000
if it has really been since twenty
twenty one since their last game, I

1125
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,279
know they didn't updates. Hit Man
three has been that old now, because

1126
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,800
like I could just play that now. Oh yeah, man, it's gonna

1127
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:34,520
be timeless for me. Uh.
Octo says incredible soundtrack. Favorite series.

1128
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:39,800
It's the great Ace Attorney chronicles.
Yeah, this kid. They just recently

1129
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,319
had some kind of sales Mileston for
this game. It's something like, you

1130
01:12:42,359 --> 01:12:46,720
know, it's millions, which is
really impressive for this These are fantastic Ace

1131
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,800
Attorney games that we finally got localized
here. That was really exciting. I'm

1132
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:54,199
so glad that they did this,
and I'm so glad it found success.

1133
01:12:54,239 --> 01:12:58,479
I think it was the success of
this that kind of really cemented Ace Attorney

1134
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,359
as something of a forever for Capcom, Like, yeah, they're going to

1135
01:13:01,399 --> 01:13:04,560
always do stuff with Ace Attorney.
I want to be shocked if Ace Attorney

1136
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:09,159
seven gets announced before the end of
the year. What a fantastic series and

1137
01:13:09,199 --> 01:13:14,039
that these are very good games.
Bench JC also says Final Fantasy fourteen end

1138
01:13:14,079 --> 01:13:19,319
Walker the Bar Speckel says hit Man
three Chaos Buckero says road In ninety six.

1139
01:13:19,399 --> 01:13:23,920
I don't know if I know what
that is. I big remember,

1140
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:29,039
but I didn't play it. Paper
Mario Wolf five says Ratchet and Clink Rift

1141
01:13:29,039 --> 01:13:33,479
Apart Villain Mack says Halo Infinite God. Yeah, man, just great physics.

1142
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:38,479
That's that's good. Yeah for sure. Good Grapple Hook, Yeah,

1143
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,600
great when we client the Year of
the Grapple Hook. Were there other games

1144
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:44,399
of grapp there was? There were
other years that were also Year of the

1145
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,560
Grappling Hook as well, so but
this was definitely a good year of that.

1146
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:53,840
Big Tony the Final Fantasy Guy says
Shin mcgammie Tense five not enough heart.

1147
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:58,439
Yeah, I think it's my biggest
complain about that game. Eh Alex

1148
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:02,319
says Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart.
Vision forty nine says Death's Door, which

1149
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,159
me and Michael both guilty of not
loving like others. Yeah, yeah,

1150
01:14:05,159 --> 01:14:09,439
we were kind of famous deaf doors
haters. So I tried, I tried.

1151
01:14:10,119 --> 01:14:12,199
I just don't like it. I'm
sorry, but I don't know what

1152
01:14:12,279 --> 01:14:14,079
it is. I don't know why
he's like the thing I would like.

1153
01:14:14,119 --> 01:14:16,159
I was like the same, same, I don't get it. Uh Terioki

1154
01:14:16,199 --> 01:14:19,159
Blues says Age of Empires four,
I should have spent more time with Age

1155
01:14:19,159 --> 01:14:23,880
of Empires kind of Yeah, I
don't think I spent a second with it.

1156
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,640
I'm somebody who used to like Age
of Empires and then this came out

1157
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,000
and it just kind of just sumissed
me somehow. Pretty good people liked it.

1158
01:14:30,199 --> 01:14:32,399
Yeah, he's pretty good. I
really like this one. I play

1159
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:38,319
a little bit especially. That's pretty
good. Does remind me of that this

1160
01:14:38,399 --> 01:14:41,439
is like not like some super teas
because it's not a game anyone's gonna know.

1161
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,680
But I saw something in a prett
brief Mike around me after the show

1162
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:45,920
to tell you because I'm just I'm
excited about it. Looks really good.

1163
01:14:45,079 --> 01:14:49,159
Okay, Rid Racer, it's not
Red Racer. I'm sorry, but uh

1164
01:14:49,319 --> 01:14:55,800
Screaming Madden says, I'm pretty sure
this is a reference to Well there's mad,

1165
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,159
but I think it's the reference to
Chickery with the tur duck in the

1166
01:15:00,359 --> 01:15:03,159
end zone. Yeah, I think
it's like just like coloring right as the

1167
01:15:03,239 --> 01:15:08,479
dog from Chickory. But it's a
background. This was Giant Bombs Game of

1168
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:11,119
the Year. Right, that's right. Chickery was Giant Bombs Game of the

1169
01:15:11,199 --> 01:15:13,800
Year because they did not want to
give it to what were the games Christian,

1170
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:20,960
we're arguing about something else. Yeah, yeah, I don't remember.

1171
01:15:21,159 --> 01:15:24,600
Yeah, I can't remember exactly what
it was, ma'am. That was.

1172
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,199
Hey, yeah, Chickery, good
game. Shot shots to you. Maybe

1173
01:15:28,199 --> 01:15:31,279
it was mad and they didn't want
to give it to uh, Resident Evil

1174
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:35,800
Cririsis says end Walker Man. There's
a lot of n Walker love in here.

1175
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:41,199
Good on everyone, Daniels says,
inscription with a very good gift.

1176
01:15:42,079 --> 01:15:47,560
Hosp says a Halo infinite Schiarmiro says
Pokemon Unite. Oh, that's kind of

1177
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,720
fair. I remember that, Yeah, the Moba. If I could,

1178
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,359
if I had an infinite time on
John Bomb, I would do a show

1179
01:15:54,359 --> 01:15:57,279
where it's like, I'm going to
set up a game, not tell a

1180
01:15:57,279 --> 01:15:59,560
person what it is about what we're
playing, and just play it and then

1181
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,880
just have episode where it's all right, jam, we're playing Pokemon Unit Surprise,

1182
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,079
here we go. Best of seven. Ali Miracle says, which one

1183
01:16:06,119 --> 01:16:11,479
is the Skelty Gear, Skilty Gear
Strive And that's yeah, that's a Bridget,

1184
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,960
Is that right? Yeah, that's
Bridgid or Brisket as we sometimes call

1185
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,039
her, love the Brisket two times. Champ beef Hammer says, couldn't decide

1186
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:25,000
back then either between METROI Dread or
Halo Infinite. Both are great games.

1187
01:16:25,239 --> 01:16:29,920
Good year for space armor. Yes, absolutely, you know, one day

1188
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:30,640
they should put a woman in one
of these suits. I don't know.

1189
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:36,560
O Bear says, Inscription, which
a lot of fun secrets in the earth.

1190
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:44,359
What kind of game is Inscription?
Obstensibly it's a card game. I

1191
01:16:44,399 --> 01:16:46,199
thought it was this card game,
but nothing I'm seeing is like right,

1192
01:16:46,239 --> 01:16:49,640
that's right. That's the whole thing. Is like there's a table where you're

1193
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,840
supposed to play cards with an old
man, and then you could stand up

1194
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,159
from that table and look around the
little cabin that you're in and start messing

1195
01:16:57,199 --> 01:16:59,039
with stuff, and there's like,
hey, a little locked door. I

1196
01:16:59,079 --> 01:17:01,119
wonder what I could do? I
gotten there and then the game changes.

1197
01:17:01,239 --> 01:17:04,279
That sort of thing. People should
play Inscription. I think it's all it's

1198
01:17:04,279 --> 01:17:08,439
been on some like services. I
have gotten it off a sale like I

1199
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,680
have it. I'm ready to try
it eventually, but haven't gone there yet.

1200
01:17:12,199 --> 01:17:15,159
Weisman says The Artful Escape. I
didn't play this, but I know

1201
01:17:15,239 --> 01:17:17,520
some people really like it. Yeah. I think I played it at like

1202
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:23,359
a show somewhere, like a demo. I remember it was neat Lily Wu

1203
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:27,159
Lee Wu, says end Walker.
There's another one where your love Oh my

1204
01:17:27,199 --> 01:17:30,439
goodness. Matt in the Big City
says his favorite game is Nintendo Jail.

1205
01:17:31,359 --> 01:17:34,359
It might be a reference to Bowser's
Fury. Well, you can't just say

1206
01:17:34,359 --> 01:17:38,600
how many cats are there in the
game like that? Yeah, wow,

1207
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,760
right there, no one, says
Guardians of the Galaxy. You can actually

1208
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,640
think looks really good too. Yeah, it's a pretty game. It's a

1209
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:49,319
pretty game. Willow Davis says what
I believe is Endwalker. No, that's

1210
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,520
Arise. Okay, look it listen. You know what I could see it

1211
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,800
though if it yeah, that would
be more of a storm blood thing.

1212
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,760
But ye, okay, sure,
uh, plumbers don't wear hint eyes,

1213
01:18:03,039 --> 01:18:08,920
says Bowser's Fury with the immature that
says how many cat shines are there?

1214
01:18:09,199 --> 01:18:14,479
Apparently one hundred? I forgotten.
I want this image, says it's from

1215
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:18,119
Nintendo Wire. I wonder if this
is like them like quoting you and like

1216
01:18:18,159 --> 01:18:24,279
you it wasna, I bet it
was like it didn't help me. Nintendo

1217
01:18:24,359 --> 01:18:29,119
wire h Bopper Mario says, Forts
the Horizon five. I'm surprised to take

1218
01:18:29,159 --> 01:18:31,079
someone this long to mention that I
like Forts, Harass and five a lot.

1219
01:18:32,079 --> 01:18:35,960
Yeah it does. Oh god,
yeah, that that's a real story.

1220
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,640
But oh iMore dot com has it. Some lucky people have already gotten

1221
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,760
to preview the game and have noted
that there are a total of one hundred

1222
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,680
cat shines to collect. Yeah,
lucky people, lucky. They have no

1223
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:50,479
idea how lucky. I have the
luckiest son of a bitch there ever.

1224
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:56,359
Was go ahead? Was that you
asked me a question? I'm sorry,

1225
01:18:57,319 --> 01:19:01,039
I was trying about Forts Oresson five
h Forts? Was that the last Sports

1226
01:19:01,079 --> 01:19:06,399
of the Horizon the Mexico one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,

1227
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,880
I remember liking it and also being
like a little bit o. It's like,

1228
01:19:10,399 --> 01:19:13,199
let's find something that juices up a
little bit at this point. Yep,

1229
01:19:13,239 --> 01:19:15,720
yeah, you listen. It was
no the Crew Motorfest. Of course,

1230
01:19:16,119 --> 01:19:23,119
Crew Motorfest is a very underrated game. I think I think Adam Sleep

1231
01:19:23,159 --> 01:19:30,079
says, Monster Hunter Rise Breadfish says, that's oh yeah, okay, okay,

1232
01:19:30,119 --> 01:19:32,039
yeah, chemc Gotty tens I five. There we go. Uh Lenny

1233
01:19:32,079 --> 01:19:35,720
cool controversy, Dick Den versus Bowser's
fury. God, that is a good

1234
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:42,520
game. Uh Tea money og sas
and Walker Sledge. Why why aren't I

1235
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,760
not playing Found Fantasy fourteen? Of
all these people, I don't know,

1236
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,640
Yeah, you gotta Vinco, they
might all be in Venco. Yes,

1237
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:55,560
I'm a Sledge. Reinhold says inscription. Vander Lyles says Sledge life another one

1238
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:59,920
I know people like, but I've
never touched. Jedi mus four says Halo

1239
01:20:00,119 --> 01:20:06,239
Infinite Symbiosis says guilty Gear. I
believe guilty Gear correct warden Cliffs says Lost

1240
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:11,039
Judgment. You guys ever play this? No? But I want to too,

1241
01:20:11,239 --> 01:20:16,359
because you know, I like Lawyer
Ship me too, and I yeah,

1242
01:20:16,399 --> 01:20:19,399
and I like, yeah, this
is the second one too, Right

1243
01:20:20,399 --> 01:20:25,439
Judgment and Lost Judgment. And they're
both young. Never came out to PC,

1244
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:30,560
don't they Because they have a weird
scene, Yes, because of like

1245
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:34,399
weird the weird control that some of
those people have over those stars. In

1246
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:40,560
Japan. Uh tosh or To Tassi
Tashi says, forts the Horizon five,

1247
01:20:41,319 --> 01:20:45,760
specifically the Fast X crossover with the
game. Boomer needs a cool new nickname,

1248
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,479
says Unpacking. Do you ever play
that? Not? But I'd like

1249
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:55,439
it. Dan Fiasco says disco Elicium
the final cut, right, that would

1250
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:58,960
have been? That happened this year
of a edition version of this. Yeah,

1251
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:00,760
it had voice acting and off it
came out on console, so I

1252
01:21:01,119 --> 01:21:04,319
bet a lot of people did finally
play it that year. This is a

1253
01:21:04,319 --> 01:21:09,279
game I think about going back to
a lot right now. I never finished

1254
01:21:09,319 --> 01:21:11,399
it. I enjoyed what I played
of it. I kind of wish I

1255
01:21:11,399 --> 01:21:15,720
would have just beaten it and they
played finally eventually. Right, I'm like,

1256
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,359
we shouldn't find a reason, just
like maybe it could be a game

1257
01:21:18,359 --> 01:21:24,880
of the month club or whatever.
Nick says Psychoonauts two, Adam GC says

1258
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:30,159
it takes two. Clink says Ratchet
and Clink. So platform is this year,

1259
01:21:30,159 --> 01:21:33,039
man, I love it. Hamlet
of Texas is Chivalry too. It's

1260
01:21:33,079 --> 01:21:35,960
a fun game. I think it's
coming on sale. It's gonna have a

1261
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:40,720
free weekend or something like that soon. We should do upf with showing yeah

1262
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,159
people could people would like playing this
game. It's a fun one. Always

1263
01:21:44,199 --> 01:21:47,640
be clothing slash Car, he says, Guardians of the Galaxy. Hell yeah,

1264
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:51,039
laser wolfs has hit Man three long
you give, says the Great Ace

1265
01:21:51,079 --> 01:21:57,119
Attorney Chronicles. JD. Camp says
Death Stranding was that this year might have

1266
01:21:57,199 --> 01:22:00,359
been the version. Probably, Yeah, that's might have been that year.

1267
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,560
Uh. Fluffy cloud Gamer says,
Chickory the real game of the year,

1268
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:09,960
you cowards. Uh. And then
Turbo Sean says, I think this is

1269
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:14,399
also Guilty Gear. That is Guilty
Biking. Wow. Okay, well huh

1270
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,960
and that's our intro. Jeff,
that's so sick. Yeah, no,

1271
01:22:17,079 --> 01:22:24,359
that's fantastic, very enthralled. So
man ookay, I don't mean you kind

1272
01:22:24,399 --> 01:22:30,520
of are mid on Returnal. I'm
surprised that nobody brought up Returnal. I

1273
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,000
thought people liked that game. They
always told us how much they liked it.

1274
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:38,399
It is a good game. It's
just not a great game. It

1275
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:42,399
really just isn't it is. If
they do a Returnal too, I bet

1276
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,600
I'm going to love the hell out
of that game, because they know that

1277
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,840
what they with the shortcomings of that
game were they knew that that it like

1278
01:22:49,199 --> 01:22:53,439
does not match up to the best
in the genre, like Hades, and

1279
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,000
so the next time they will and
it's going to be really really, really

1280
01:22:56,039 --> 01:22:59,520
really good. But what they had
there was a strong foundation. But yeah,

1281
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:00,960
there's a reason no one mentioned it. I think let's make sure we

1282
01:23:01,399 --> 01:23:05,800
consider inscription because a ton of people
brought that one up. Yes, and

1283
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:12,279
I like inscription a lot, a
couple other ones with surprist nobody mentioned I

1284
01:23:12,279 --> 01:23:14,960
may not surprise. I just want
to mention it or whatever. I thought

1285
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,800
that Diabo two Resurrected was a very
good remake of one of my favorite PC

1286
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,359
games, So that was a ton
of fun. At twenty twenty one,

1287
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:25,960
I think it's like easy already forget
that happened because Diabo four was not very

1288
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:30,319
long after that. But Diabo two
resurrected super good, and nobody brought up

1289
01:23:30,359 --> 01:23:39,159
Honey Pop to double date Honey Pop
to double difficult. Yeah, yeah,

1290
01:23:39,159 --> 01:23:45,960
they're not going to It doesn't appreciate
its core competencies. Did Cruising blask about

1291
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,119
this year? Jesus Christ? I
thought you were going to miss it.

1292
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:54,039
Chrus Blast is a lot of fun. It is it's the best of that

1293
01:23:54,159 --> 01:23:57,880
kind of racer, which is it
mostly plays itself, but it's a really

1294
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,840
fun roller coaster ride. I would
I would recommend that to any like family

1295
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,039
looking for a racing game that everyone
in the family can have a good time

1296
01:24:04,079 --> 01:24:10,399
with. Okay, we have five
slots. We have a lot more games

1297
01:24:10,399 --> 01:24:14,239
than that. Once again, that's
Ratchet and Clink, Metro Dread, Psycho

1298
01:24:14,279 --> 01:24:17,279
Nuts two, hit Man three,
Halo Infinite, The Forgotten City, Monster

1299
01:24:17,359 --> 01:24:20,960
Hunter Rise, Guardians of the Galaxy. It takes to Super Mario three D

1300
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:26,039
World Plus, Spouser Fury, Final, Fantasy fourteen, end Walker, Inscription,

1301
01:24:26,119 --> 01:24:30,359
Diabolo two, Resurrected, Honey Pop
two, Double Date, and Cruising

1302
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,800
Blast. Okay, I'll get rid
of Cruise and Blast if you get rid

1303
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:40,399
of Honey Pop deal. Okay,
Fell then louis it all right? There

1304
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:44,319
we go shout out Sololo though,
of course, yes, who's also in

1305
01:24:44,399 --> 01:24:48,279
Cruising Blast? All right, Mike, do we have any like sure things?

1306
01:24:48,279 --> 01:24:51,119
There's a couple that I'm like,
feel like, probably are, But

1307
01:24:51,159 --> 01:24:56,159
what do you think I think Metro
Dread and Ratchet and Clink rifted apart and

1308
01:24:56,199 --> 01:24:58,840
you know you're going to put that
subtitle on there for me. Yeah,

1309
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:05,000
those are the two that are absolutely
locks to me. Okay, I don't

1310
01:25:05,039 --> 01:25:09,560
know what order, honestly, Yeah, I'm I'm just throwing them up there

1311
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,119
for now. I will adjust this. There we go. There's like,

1312
01:25:13,159 --> 01:25:15,039
I mean, there's a lot.
I'm like, yeah, that could be

1313
01:25:15,079 --> 01:25:16,119
there, that could be there,
that could be That's how I feel,

1314
01:25:16,199 --> 01:25:20,960
exactly. There's a lot. Okay, which one do you feel most strongly?

1315
01:25:24,279 --> 01:25:32,079
Honestly, most strongly is probably hit
Man three. It's it's it's hit

1316
01:25:32,159 --> 01:25:38,920
Man three. And then it's like
Bapsterisphary and Guardians of the Galaxy and yeah

1317
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,319
in the Forgotten City after that,
and Halo Inthony after that. I don't

1318
01:25:42,359 --> 01:25:46,680
know what are you thinking? I
mean Hitman three, Sure, there's like

1319
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,960
a party. It's like, oh
wow, we love hit Man a gag.

1320
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,560
It's like like sometimes there is one. It's like I feel like I'm

1321
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:56,239
giving a trophy to the same game
for the third time. Yeah, we

1322
01:25:56,239 --> 01:26:00,159
could listen. It doesn't like I
said, I feel strong next wrong,

1323
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,119
That's just how I feel. It's
it's not just locked. It's not locked

1324
01:26:04,119 --> 01:26:08,119
though, That's what I'm saying.
If we need to drop something to get

1325
01:26:08,119 --> 01:26:11,840
something else up there, we'll see. I mean, I do really like

1326
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,079
Psychonauts too, and Bowser's fury,
Like do I want to hold it against

1327
01:26:15,119 --> 01:26:19,840
Bowser? Fury that it is like
mostly an enhanced version of a game,

1328
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:26,359
but it does have that new campaign. Hard to say. I want to

1329
01:26:26,359 --> 01:26:30,760
ask you right now because like so
many people felt strong about Scription. If

1330
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:32,279
you feel strongly about Scription, then
I think it should be there. I

1331
01:26:32,319 --> 01:26:35,279
just haven't played it, and I
don't know it's it's it's not my top

1332
01:26:35,319 --> 01:26:41,319
five from this year now. Inscription's
very good, but I would rather have

1333
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:45,039
Guardians of the Galaxy and Bowsers Ferio
for it, and look, I mean,

1334
01:26:45,079 --> 01:26:47,319
and Forgotten City and Halo open it. And I know a lot of

1335
01:26:47,359 --> 01:26:50,359
people said an Walker, and there's
there's like a parts like I don't know

1336
01:26:50,359 --> 01:26:54,039
if I need to put end Walker
in the top five this year. Yeah,

1337
01:26:54,119 --> 01:26:57,640
let's let's like just spare ourselves and
not do that and leave a slot

1338
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,600
open for something else, which you
know we're leaning to words that for hit

1339
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:01,880
Man three, let's also do that. Forde. I think it's a little

1340
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:08,279
bit of that kind of saying yeah, sort of set up there. What

1341
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:11,279
do you think You know, you
don't play much. It takes too huh,

1342
01:27:11,319 --> 01:27:15,079
So you don't feel super strongly about
that one, exactly. I have

1343
01:27:15,119 --> 01:27:16,720
nothing against it. It would be
on my top five, but it would

1344
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:18,880
be kind of lower in my top
five. So it's like, oh,

1345
01:27:19,119 --> 01:27:21,760
I guess I care more about Psychoonots
two than it takes two. To be

1346
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:30,279
honest, all right, how about
this, Let's move up Psychokouts to and

1347
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,319
Guardians of the Galaxy. I was
just gonna say, let's move up Psychonauts

1348
01:27:32,319 --> 01:27:34,640
too and guards of the Galaxy.
Okay, if that's what we're both going

1349
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,800
to say, then we can just
do that, and then that feels right,

1350
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,000
and then of course we can.
We're going to rearrange things everything that's

1351
01:27:42,079 --> 01:27:45,560
up there, and now we can
have the conversation. Do we want to

1352
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,279
drop hit Man three for something else? Well, we would drop it for

1353
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:56,479
Browserspy Browsers Fury. It takes two, probably not Halo Infinite, probably not

1354
01:27:57,079 --> 01:28:00,159
on City. Forgotten City would be
right there for me, but I'm not

1355
01:28:00,199 --> 01:28:02,840
going to try to force it on
here, like like I like hit Man

1356
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:08,720
three more so, Yeah, I
guess I'd rather have Bowsers theory than it,

1357
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,279
but not really, I don't know. I could go either way,

1358
01:28:11,399 --> 01:28:15,479
you know what I I If I'm
being honest, I'd like the way Boser

1359
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:17,039
Sury looks on the list when we
put it out on like Twitter and stuff.

1360
01:28:18,119 --> 01:28:21,079
I like, I wan't like like
no that botis Suri deserves to be

1361
01:28:21,119 --> 01:28:26,039
in the top five. It's that
good. Would that be okay? Swapping

1362
01:28:26,039 --> 01:28:30,359
out Bo Suri for Hitman three,
Yeah, let's do that, okay,

1363
01:28:30,239 --> 01:28:32,640
because you know what I will say, that's why I love Hitman three and

1364
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,600
I love how it brings it all
together. There are some forgettable missions in

1365
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:39,560
that one. For me, I
think like over very high high and some

1366
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,479
lower lowers. Yeah, I think
overall it would be in terms of like

1367
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,000
the levels, it might be the
weakest of the three when it's all taken

1368
01:28:45,079 --> 01:28:48,159
into account, I could see that
there's the ones. I mean, I

1369
01:28:48,239 --> 01:28:53,640
just really love the Argentinian level and
I really love the mansion. Yeah.

1370
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:58,039
Those are very thank you, Christian, we appreciate your service. Okay.

1371
01:28:58,319 --> 01:29:00,439
So then what we have in the
top five now is Psychodout's two Ratching,

1372
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:03,720
Clink, Grift Apart, metroy Dread, Super Mario three D, World,

1373
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:09,520
Bounces of Sharing, Guardians of the
Galaxy, anything from the list left behind

1374
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:12,600
that you want to like just give
a so long too? Are we going?

1375
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,680
I mean I think they're I think
they're all great. Monster Hunter Rise

1376
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,960
and Walker is still a fantastic expansion
that really kind of you know, delivered

1377
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,720
a great experience. Four File Facy
fourteen Fans Hit Me three is fantastic.

1378
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,239
Now, these are all great games. I really want to play Inscription.

1379
01:29:27,279 --> 01:29:30,000
I guess a special shout to Forgotten
City, which isn't making the list,

1380
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,920
but for such a quote unquote small
game that was something pretty it's really special.

1381
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:36,640
I got it all play strong affinity
for it. Wish listed right now,

1382
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:40,079
pick that one up. Yeah,
next day, I'll just pick it

1383
01:29:40,159 --> 01:29:43,239
up exactly when it's like there for
five bucks. You should just get it,

1384
01:29:44,199 --> 01:29:49,359
all right, Mike, what's number
one? Either Dread or Rift Apart?

1385
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:54,119
For me, I think it's probably
Dread, and then I'm great with

1386
01:29:54,359 --> 01:29:57,880
Ratching Clak Grift Apart at number two. I like that, Okay, great,

1387
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:00,720
honestly, then I'm okay with Psycho
at number three. By the way,

1388
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:02,520
if that's what you want, if
that's what you're feeling, if you

1389
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:04,960
have someone else, let me know, No, I think that's right.

1390
01:30:05,079 --> 01:30:09,000
And then honestly, I do think
Guards of the Galaxy is number five,

1391
01:30:09,159 --> 01:30:12,119
Like I said, like fo me, yep, I think we put it

1392
01:30:12,119 --> 01:30:14,880
like number ten on the game speed
list for this reason. So yeah,

1393
01:30:15,039 --> 01:30:18,119
yeah, okay, this looks right
to me. That's okay. So the

1394
01:30:18,199 --> 01:30:21,560
read the top five for everybody,
if for good, the top five games

1395
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,640
of the year twenty rounder one.
And by the way, everybody, I

1396
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,039
think the last year we are doing
this, I think we're now caught up

1397
01:30:27,039 --> 01:30:30,119
to win games. The size was
just doing this on a yearly basis.

1398
01:30:30,199 --> 01:30:32,199
So well, we'll find out what
those other years were. We'll put this

1399
01:30:32,239 --> 01:30:35,239
all together. But top five.
Number five is Guardians of the Galaxy.

1400
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:40,680
Number four is Super Mario three D
World plus Bowser's Fury. Number three it's

1401
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:45,159
Psycho Nuts two. Number two is
Ratchet and Clank rifted apart, and number

1402
01:30:45,199 --> 01:30:50,439
one is met Troid dread. Oh
baby, Oh yeah, all right,

1403
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:55,039
there we go. I'm gonna post
this right now. Let everyone yell at

1404
01:30:55,079 --> 01:30:59,279
us. I feel like this one
will get enough heat. I think there's

1405
01:30:59,319 --> 01:31:01,600
plenty that really been off here,
but I get it at least like you

1406
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,680
would think that the platform people can't
get mad at us. Here. We

1407
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:10,159
have a pretty good spread of Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo. When you look

1408
01:31:10,199 --> 01:31:13,479
at it, the platformer people are
having a good day. Mike. It's

1409
01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:15,239
a good day. For the platform
or people, and we're doing our part

1410
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,920
on that three D platform people I
met my platform people I met like PlayStation

1411
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:25,239
and next pot Okay, well,
yeah, thirty platform people will be happy

1412
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,560
for sure. You can define what
kind of games we like. Do the

1413
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,239
PlayStation platform people really take ownership of
Rachord and Clink? I feel like they

1414
01:31:31,239 --> 01:31:33,600
did. That game would have sold
better, but it's weird that they would.

1415
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,039
And I don't know if the Xbox
people take ownership of Second nuts two,

1416
01:31:36,079 --> 01:31:42,239
which I guess, but still are
many other options. Yeah, so

1417
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,439
I think Second two is the closest
they came to winning a Game of the

1418
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,960
Year award at any recent time.
So that's right. They would have said

1419
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:53,720
for Forts and Rice in five as
well at that time. Christian, do

1420
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:55,760
we need another break? Are we
good to just talk about what we've been

1421
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:59,600
playing? Give me one little break? Sounds good. We'll be right back.

1422
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:09,159
Everybody. All right, we are
back. We did our twenty twenty

1423
01:32:09,159 --> 01:32:11,000
one Game of the Year, We
talked about the news, We did the

1424
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:14,279
super chats. There are more super
chats though, Mike. Should we just

1425
01:32:14,279 --> 01:32:15,760
do that and then we'll talk about
what we've been playing. Yeah? Sure,

1426
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,840
we read on some of these new
super chests here. Chris Quintin says,

1427
01:32:19,239 --> 01:32:23,439
Jeff, you should go see Mike's
dad for your trips. You survive,

1428
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:27,000
Love you, buddy, but you
are letty terrible. Hey, I

1429
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,920
feel terrible. Mikey looking sexy as
always. Thank you. Anyways, maybe

1430
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:34,159
get your upcoming cout segments fueled by
prep. I don't think you I could

1431
01:32:34,199 --> 01:32:38,800
have told a difference in your appears. Jeff, Yeah, I think I

1432
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,960
feel even worse than I look,
though, So I need to go there

1433
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:45,000
the doctor. I've already decided set. I mean, that's happening. We

1434
01:32:45,079 --> 01:32:46,520
talked about my dad and if you
want to you can. It's like an

1435
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:49,800
eighty minute drive for him. So
it's not like some fun I'm just gonna

1436
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,600
go to Urchin Care tomorrow. I've
got a really handy urchin Care that doesn't

1437
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:57,000
cost me really anything, and there
they've been nothing but really solid. I'm

1438
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,359
just gonna go there tomorrow. I'll
be fine. Everybody. I appreciate it,

1439
01:32:59,399 --> 01:33:01,800
though. Ninten Derek says, I'm
saddened by your response to Road ninety

1440
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:05,000
six, my favorite gage twenty twenty
one and one of my favorite indies period.

1441
01:33:05,079 --> 01:33:08,039
You should give it a try.
I'm gonna give it a try.

1442
01:33:08,199 --> 01:33:10,520
Yeah, it didn't mean to be
like dismissive of it by just yeah,

1443
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:14,359
differently, I had no idea.
I don't actually remember hearing about it.

1444
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:15,680
So I will go if I can
play on a Steam deck, I'll definitely

1445
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,119
play it right away. Otherwise,
maybe I'll find a reason to play it

1446
01:33:18,159 --> 01:33:20,760
on the on the PC when I
get a chance. All right. Next

1447
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:25,760
one here is from Chris Quinn again
Jeff, since it looks like grub Katana

1448
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,920
might be the longest gameplay yet,
and yeah it might be. Any chance

1449
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,279
here, fellow bladers could door desh
you good food for Proggy's It's any kind

1450
01:33:33,279 --> 01:33:38,560
of carrot at the end of a
long and horrible stick. To help during

1451
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:43,119
Delight Club, I was able to
expense some uh, the what you might

1452
01:33:43,159 --> 01:33:45,680
call Popeye's chicken. I think that's
good. Like when we have a delight

1453
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,840
Club, a little reprieve, that's
fine, But now it's what it's Blake

1454
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:53,359
Club. It's down to business of
being miserable. That's what that show is.

1455
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:58,439
How are you feeling about segments though, Like, so you're you've beaten

1456
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:00,319
one of four chapters. Do you
think you're going to want to break up

1457
01:34:00,319 --> 01:34:03,199
the chapter two? Do you want
to just push through right now? I

1458
01:34:03,239 --> 01:34:06,520
feel like if we make progress like
we made on the last one, let's

1459
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:11,399
just push through. Let's just get
it over with. But that could change

1460
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:15,319
if the second episode, which by
all accounts is supposed to be better,

1461
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:19,840
if that also is a miserable slog, then we'll have a different conversation here

1462
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,479
in a couple of weeks. Most
people made it sound like the game is

1463
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:28,520
worse at the beginning, and we
see like it really peaks at that more

1464
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:32,199
crematorium level or whatever. That was
rough. It was rough for everyone,

1465
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:38,119
yes, but we'll see how we're
feeling. I think if we make some

1466
01:34:38,159 --> 01:34:43,000
strong produce here in the next couple
episodes, we will reassess. Well.

1467
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,399
I don't think we're going to miss
any episodes because the summer game fest,

1468
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:47,359
because we leave on Thursday and we'll
be back before the next Wednesday. So

1469
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:50,880
the Dan's going to be traveling at
some point here. Yeah, Dan's also

1470
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:54,520
got his you know, his surgery
coming up and stuff, and he's going

1471
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:57,520
to be although you know, that's
the kind of show where maybe since he

1472
01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:00,880
might like you know, dial in
from bed or something, we'll see,

1473
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,840
we'll see how it's gonna go.
We have to do Delight club, no

1474
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,800
complaints for me, that's all.
We'll find ways to delight Jeff. Don't

1475
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:10,800
worry. But Jeff, that is
it with the super chats. If everyoneants

1476
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:12,840
to squeeze one in, we will
still read it before the end of show.

1477
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,520
Thank you everybody. Excellent. All
right, Mike, what have you

1478
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:19,119
been playing? Oh? Mostly just
four thousand Year Door, which just continues

1479
01:35:19,159 --> 01:35:24,680
to be great. But I mentioned
that miss a Pandaria remix experience going on.

1480
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:28,199
World of Warcraft's kind of this chance
to go back to an older expansion

1481
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:30,199
and play it while getting some new
rewards, and it's kind of, you

1482
01:35:30,239 --> 01:35:33,680
know, a bit of a faster
track, basically an excuse to level up

1483
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:39,239
a new character before the real expansion, the war within comes out later in

1484
01:35:39,279 --> 01:35:42,359
the year, get some fun cosmetics. And for that. I've been enjoying

1485
01:35:42,399 --> 01:35:45,920
it, mister Pandora's expansion and plate
the time. But I've gone back to

1486
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:49,399
that area again when I'm leveling alts
or whatever. It's a very pretty expansion,

1487
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:54,359
right, so, like just the
vibe all, like the Jade Forrest

1488
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:58,520
and these temples. It's very pretty
very good music. So for that,

1489
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:03,279
I've been having fun with it.
I did a dungeon today and the kind

1490
01:36:03,279 --> 01:36:05,640
of what the route like, You're
just gonna be really overpowered and the dungeon's

1491
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:09,600
gonna be trivial. So it's like, Okay, I guess I'm getting good

1492
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:14,800
experience points, but it's not very
interesting. You're just or stomping through it.

1493
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:16,479
Kind of just like what would happen
if I cut it for that dungeon

1494
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:19,119
while playing the normal version of the
game, I kind of want to be

1495
01:36:19,159 --> 01:36:21,239
like no, I kind of like
I want this dungeon to be interesting and

1496
01:36:21,359 --> 01:36:25,239
like you know, I have to
like like try and stuff and not just

1497
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:30,520
have the tank run forward and collect
everybody until we AOI storm them down,

1498
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:33,960
which is like kind of what World
of Warcraft dungeons do turn into. Sometimes

1499
01:36:35,159 --> 01:36:39,760
I think that's one that's a place
where Fafacy Wars team works a lot better

1500
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:44,119
is their dungeon design in general.
But still mostly having a good time fun.

1501
01:36:44,159 --> 01:36:47,439
Distraction also been doing the Diablo four
because they had a new season drop

1502
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:49,760
and it's fun, but it you
know, it's like, oh, this

1503
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:54,640
big season thing for the Diablo nerds
is this big deal because the loot changes

1504
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:58,000
as somebody who played Diebo when it
came out played do the campaign, didn't

1505
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,960
do the loss. He's in content. I don't really know what the difference

1506
01:37:00,079 --> 01:37:03,520
is, but I'm still having fun
playing Diablo, I guess yeah. I

1507
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:05,840
mean that's kind of what I've heard
from a lot of people. It's like,

1508
01:37:06,399 --> 01:37:10,239
man, sure is nice just to
be playing Diablo. And that's like

1509
01:37:10,279 --> 01:37:14,159
the assessment of all this new stuff. So they didn't screw it up at

1510
01:37:14,159 --> 01:37:15,840
the very least right now. No, I think people are happy with it.

1511
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:18,119
I don't know. People seem to
be playing and you know that's what

1512
01:37:18,279 --> 01:37:20,720
That's what I get. Yeah,
I'm getting plenty of experience points. So

1513
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:24,640
if your main matrix is like,
am I getting enough experience points? Sure,

1514
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:29,079
yes, you are plenty of experience
points. I also have been spending

1515
01:37:29,079 --> 01:37:31,960
a lot more time with a thousand
year door really enjoying it. But everything

1516
01:37:32,119 --> 01:37:36,760
we talked about on nintindocks still stands. Then. I just did some dabbling

1517
01:37:38,399 --> 01:37:41,039
on a bunch of indie games that
came out this week, some smaller stuff.

1518
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:45,439
There's this one called Echostasis, which
is, like I was explaining it

1519
01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:49,800
to Dan, It's not like that
VHS aesthetic that's very popular. It's adjacent

1520
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:55,479
to that, but it's more like
the public access public cable access aesthetic where

1521
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:00,199
someone has like a TriCaster in the
background and they're putting up text. It's

1522
01:38:00,199 --> 01:38:04,479
all like big and blocky, and
you're exploring this world where you are the

1523
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:10,000
administrator and you have a terminal and
you need to go up this computer and

1524
01:38:10,039 --> 01:38:13,439
put in these text commands. And
you could always tell like what is a

1525
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:15,359
command because you might see something in
the world and any word that's in a

1526
01:38:15,399 --> 01:38:18,520
bracket is something that the computer will
react to, and you need to like

1527
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:21,560
figure out what's going on with this
virus. And then there's like shooter levels.

1528
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:27,720
It's very cool, very stylish.
I'm not sure like what, like

1529
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,720
how much more there is to the
experience or the gameplay, but the presentation

1530
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:34,720
is top notch, and at the
very least it's like it's not it's interesting,

1531
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:38,640
and I'm kind of hoping you can
keep that up throughout the entire experience.

1532
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:45,760
And then I tried Pode Definitive Edition
from Night Dive. That's that old

1533
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:47,239
shooter where you play as a chef
and you start off with a frying pan

1534
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:53,840
and then you get like, I'm
so excited for Yeah, it's it's out

1535
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:57,720
and now on Steam. I don't
know if it's with how without me knowing

1536
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:03,039
where's my code? Why is everyone
talking about that was a three d oh

1537
01:39:03,119 --> 01:39:05,600
game? Damn it? It was? Yes, that's it starts off with

1538
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:09,840
like three d oh or whatever when
you turn it on or something or maybe

1539
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,119
I also played Killing Time, which
I think was also a three d O

1540
01:39:12,239 --> 01:39:14,720
game, which is on Steam.
When we were talking about that the other

1541
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:16,760
day, because that's singa Lord X
game's been out for like two weeks.

1542
01:39:17,119 --> 01:39:19,680
It's been out for two weeks.
It's been gone. I was gone.

1543
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:24,199
Now that is did you get the
email? Did you? Did you suit

1544
01:39:24,239 --> 01:39:27,199
your email for it? Because I'm
like, okay, if not, Yeah,

1545
01:39:27,399 --> 01:39:30,159
they definitely should have reached out to
you, because like, I think

1546
01:39:30,159 --> 01:39:34,159
they know nobody in this field cares
more about BeO than they didn't reach out

1547
01:39:34,199 --> 01:39:36,760
to me. They fucked up,
right, and I think they know.

1548
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:40,399
There were also big fans of just
all these weird, weird things that when

1549
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:44,800
night Dive takes these very old games
that no one really talks about, yeah,

1550
01:39:45,039 --> 01:39:49,439
we're the ones talking about it a
lot of fun, very strange but

1551
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:54,840
I what I appreciate about it.
I appreciate about it is night Dive makes

1552
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:58,880
these games feel so easy to play, because I did immediately try to go

1553
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:01,000
play that Killing Time game and it's
like, you know, arrows to move,

1554
01:40:01,399 --> 01:40:04,520
the keys are all over the place. So just honestly just making these

1555
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:10,640
games Wadi and Mouse is such a
huge improvement. It is it's like,

1556
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:13,399
Okay, I can actually play this, and then now that's like okay,

1557
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:16,279
it's still obtuc in a lot of
ways, but now it's like fun to

1558
01:40:16,279 --> 01:40:19,119
figure out how it works instead of
like struggling just to get the game to

1559
01:40:19,159 --> 01:40:23,560
work. But yeah, they did
a good job. Like always, I

1560
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:27,760
really enjoyed myself so far in po'd. But yeah, that's pretty much it

1561
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:30,039
for me. It is going to
be a thousand Year Door, which is

1562
01:40:30,079 --> 01:40:35,479
such a like a security blanket right
now because there's so much going on with

1563
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:40,199
getting ready for SGF and all these
things, like the show's happening, and

1564
01:40:40,239 --> 01:40:43,039
it's like I don't want to play
a game that's going to stress me out,

1565
01:40:43,039 --> 01:40:45,439
and the thousand Year Door is the
furthest thing away from that. So

1566
01:40:45,039 --> 01:40:49,479
really happy to have that game right
now. I just got the mob boss's

1567
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:53,840
daughter back to him, and it
was a very emotional experience. Yes,

1568
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,079
buddy, Yeah, that's great,
that's fun. You know, I tried

1569
01:40:57,079 --> 01:41:00,560
to do the most noble thing at
all times. I'm like, I wonder

1570
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:01,960
what I wonder what it would be
like if I was like a little bit

1571
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:08,319
more of a ship here. Exactly. Yeah, that's certain thing, you

1572
01:41:08,359 --> 01:41:13,199
know. It's the same outcome from
probably exactly. But how's it different?

1573
01:41:15,119 --> 01:41:17,399
Man? Shortstream tonight, short show
tonight? Yeah, listen, everybody.

1574
01:41:17,399 --> 01:41:20,359
I appreciate everyone's kind words. I
do need to recover. I need to

1575
01:41:20,399 --> 01:41:24,439
go to sleep. Let's get our
boy to bed. Maybe take tomorrow off

1576
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,319
from work so we'll see. It's
not a short show. It's still two

1577
01:41:27,359 --> 01:41:30,279
hours, that's what I was saying. Oh really, no, yeah,

1578
01:41:30,319 --> 01:41:33,840
it's still like honestly, the last
time I looked at the clock, it

1579
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,960
was like ten oh five, and
it feels like it's been like five minutes

1580
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:43,520
since then. But we have fun
here. But let's get let's get Let's

1581
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:45,119
take Jeff to bed, Let's tuck
him in, give him a little kiss

1582
01:41:45,239 --> 01:41:48,680
on the forehead. It'll be all
good. Get the vapor rub on his

1583
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:53,319
chest. Maybe, well, that
sounds like the good stuff. Mikey,

1584
01:41:53,319 --> 01:41:57,199
where can people find you on the
internet? Uh, tolkoto everywhere, Twitch,

1585
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:01,199
Twitter, those guys that that thing's
called Yeah that place. Also,

1586
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:05,079
yeah, follow me just like Twitch
followed me on on Twitch today, So

1587
01:42:05,119 --> 01:42:08,560
that was funny. I was like, that's fun Twitch. Then they like

1588
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:10,359
kind of talked in the chat for
a while. I was like, oh,

1589
01:42:10,399 --> 01:42:13,239
Twitch is here. Everyone that does
feel like the cops showing up a

1590
01:42:13,239 --> 01:42:17,680
little bit. That does a lottle
weirds. Mister Twitch is here? Yeah,

1591
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:24,560
Twitch, Yeah, who knows.
Yeah, if if stuff happens a

1592
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:28,039
Giant Bomb tomorrow, we'll have a
upf. I'll probably do game mess work

1593
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:30,239
games mornings regardless, because I was
gonna do games mornings and then I was

1594
01:42:30,279 --> 01:42:34,039
going to like go right to the
doctor. So we'll see. But there's

1595
01:42:34,079 --> 01:42:38,640
been plenty of fun stuff on Giant
Bomb all week. I should go watch

1596
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:43,800
that voicemail dom Truck today. Fun. Just feel better soon, Jeff,

1597
01:42:44,239 --> 01:42:46,479
thank you to Rogie. I appreciate
that. Uh watch your talk over up

1598
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:48,479
the PlayStation show guests. I thought
we did a really good job. We

1599
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:53,159
have a lot of fun stuff.
It was great. Jeff, get that

1600
01:42:53,399 --> 01:42:56,720
get that game set somewhere else put
it in your shed. I will,

1601
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:00,680
I will put it into an exclusion
zone. Yes, I will find a

1602
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:02,479
place in the in the dead Lands
to bury it. Yeah. I hope

1603
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:05,840
you'll be Jeff. But I would
just like to get on the record who

1604
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:09,520
was right about the game set.
I don't know. No one ever warned

1605
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:14,399
me about it. I do think
Mike was probably right. I do think

1606
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:17,960
Mike was probably right. I love
I came in on to a thing you

1607
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:21,359
were recording and I said that first
everybody thought that Dan just pushed the button

1608
01:43:21,359 --> 01:43:28,000
again, Yeah, exactly like it? Yeah, yeah, dand was like

1609
01:43:28,039 --> 01:43:30,760
specific, like I didn't press that. Who has that? Now? It's

1610
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:32,479
like I thought it was you,
And then you just started saying other stuff

1611
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:38,119
and I got very confused seconds me. Everybody, good time. Well,

1612
01:43:38,159 --> 01:43:40,920

road ninety six right now, I know

1613
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:44,920
I was looking enough to. I
think it's looking a kind of like an

1614
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:48,000
adventure game. Yeah, they like
it. I put it on my wish

1615
01:43:48,039 --> 01:43:51,279
list. Look at that? How
about that? Do you remember it?

1616
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:57,399

1619
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:36,760
No, shut the funk up button? Oh ship, okay, incredible.

1620
01:44:39,039 --> 01:44:45,399
I'm so glad we have that break. I don't want I want joking.

1627
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:13,840
The one about charton? Sorry?
I stood up for a second.

1628
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:15,159
I think he did, Yes he
did. He did read the one about

1629
01:45:15,199 --> 01:45:18,840
uncharted. Thanks for hanging in with
us everyone tonight. It's I really am

1630
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:23,840
draggon ass at this point. I
do not feel good at all. Yeah.

1631
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:27,000
I just say that he was feeling
well. I don't know what that

1632
01:45:27,119 --> 01:45:31,479
means. Did he wants to chatting? I'm feeling well? A j minotty.

1633
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,640
Yes, I saw that. Yeah, I saw that earlier. I'm

1634
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:39,359
like, oh, okay, I'm
glad to hear that, Like that's that's

1635
01:45:39,359 --> 01:45:41,840
a relief. I was worried.
Yeah, I know it in two is

1636
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:44,920
three hundred dollars, is correct,
Kevin, that's right, but by all

1637
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:46,880
accounts, it's also kind of worth
that much if if that's what you're trying

1638
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:50,039
to do with it. M Ude, you hear about a win later?

1639
01:45:50,279 --> 01:45:56,199
Oh what is this? It is
so okay? So have you done a

1640
01:45:56,399 --> 01:46:00,000
deep digging on like Steam Dex stuff. You know how people do the whole

1641
01:46:00,079 --> 01:46:04,359
bottles thing where you basically have like
instanced Windows to run specific things that need

1642
01:46:04,399 --> 01:46:10,840
more from Windows. It's that but
on Android. So you could just straight

1643
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:15,520
up run Windows PC games on Android. Now that's okay, that's exciting.

1644
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:20,279
Yeah, man, it's really impressive. You gotta go with older games to

1645
01:46:20,319 --> 01:46:24,119
start with, Like people are showing
like Fallout four, but you know,

1646
01:46:24,159 --> 01:46:27,239
since Fallout four is I thing people
are going back to right now, it

1647
01:46:27,239 --> 01:46:30,119
looks kind of impressive. Even if
it is you know, and was I

1648
01:46:30,279 --> 01:46:33,640
eight year old game or whatever whatever
it is, even that is impressive to

1649
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:38,960
be running on like an Android handheld. Yeah. Have you guys like seen

1650
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:42,880
this techut on mister stuff? Oh
dude, I meant to ask you about

1651
01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:45,640
that there, And I'm so excited
about this that is if all of this

1652
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:49,680
happens the way that they claim it's
going to happen, that is buck wild.

1653
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:56,840
Yeah, people don't know. There's
the Mister project, which uses Intel

1654
01:46:56,960 --> 01:47:00,119
subsidized FPGA boards. What is it, the cyclone three or something like that,

1655
01:47:00,199 --> 01:47:04,039
Yeah, an all Terra cyclone,
yes, and it's those things are

1656
01:47:04,239 --> 01:47:10,199
very expensive, even when they're subsidized
by Intel. Apparently Tech you down,

1657
01:47:10,239 --> 01:47:13,920
who is based in China is going
directly to these manufacturers being able to source

1658
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,560
these parts for a lot less money, and it's promising to do stuff like

1659
01:47:17,279 --> 01:47:21,960
a Mister equivalent a handheld Mistard,
and then this other thing that is like

1660
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:29,920
this premium console version that will be
like a mister Ah, what is the

1661
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:32,600
the thing you have the five the
five x upscaler, Mike, what do

1662
01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:36,680
you have retro? It'll be a
retro tink and it will be a cart

1663
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:40,880
like an uploader as well, so
you'll be able to get data off a

1664
01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:43,600
cart. So it all starts,
Yeah, it all starts at this one

1665
01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:49,079
hundred dollars mister clone. So the
same parts affect and Mister's like four hundred

1666
01:47:49,119 --> 01:47:53,319
dollars exactly right now, and it's
the same parts but for like one hundred

1667
01:47:53,359 --> 01:47:57,479
bucks and then scales up from there. Apparently they're targeting for the handheld that's

1668
01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:00,239
even got a video out, so
you know, switch like analog pocket like

1669
01:48:00,359 --> 01:48:04,000
one for Yeah, yeah, I'll
do our thing, the mister handheld.

1670
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:09,319
Did I miss anything? I missed
the super chest you guys, it was

1671
01:48:09,359 --> 01:48:14,119
the uncharted one. Did we am
what? What? What was the first

1672
01:48:14,159 --> 01:48:15,680
year where game mess decides? Did
pick a game? The year? Is

1673
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:18,079
this? The last one we're doing
was twenty we do want to twenty twenty

1674
01:48:18,079 --> 01:48:20,920
two? I think we did.
I think we did. I can't remember.

1675
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:25,239
You gonna switch over because Jeff,
it hits two years at gee,

1676
01:48:25,439 --> 01:48:27,920
it was twenty twenty two. Yeah, so be twenty twenty two. Yeah,

1677
01:48:28,039 --> 01:48:30,760
yep, thanks the last one this
is it? Okay, cool,

1678
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:35,439
but you put them all together.
Later we canceled the fucking podcasting this we

1679
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:38,920
get the scenes, Jeff, No, let me do that right now.

1680
01:48:40,039 --> 01:48:44,239
Sorry, we started talking about Yeah
I got back. Jeff got going on

1681
01:48:44,279 --> 01:48:47,760
something like you see the way exciting
to see the way his eyes laid up.

1682
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:55,239
That's why I appreciated handholds getting a
shield. That's why you need you

1683
01:48:55,279 --> 01:48:58,960
need to buy another halheld and then
you're going to be like a hundred better

1684
01:48:59,119 --> 01:49:01,920
energized. She's slept here, so
I could just have you go see my

1685
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:05,880
dad and haven't give you antibiotxs and
steroids. Yeah, that'd be nice.

1686
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:12,960
Just come in kind I kind of
do. Yes, everybody's getting sick.

1687
01:49:13,119 --> 01:49:18,920
The friends are getting sick too.
I'm scar I'm not sick. Yeahs Allergies

1688
01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:25,680
are something we are going around here
too. It's like a weird blue is.

1689
01:49:26,279 --> 01:49:30,159
Another one listen to is Electric Bugaloo
Away found an unhingched game to talk

1690
01:49:30,199 --> 01:49:34,520
about for twenty twenty one. Oh
good, I hear it. It's a

1691
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:38,720
metri Brian. I'm going to maybe
let the community bring it up first.

1692
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:45,520
Now it's not much. I think
there's one where I don't think the community

1693
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:48,439
is broad yep yet, So I'm
curious to say you guys even remember it?

1694
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:55,079
Okay, Oh wow, this skame
came out. By the way,

1695
01:49:55,239 --> 01:49:58,520
this annoys me. So Jeff will
know what I'm talking about. On the

1696
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:01,000
Wikipedia pay I always bring the Wikipedia
page for blank Er and gaming. When

1697
01:50:01,079 --> 01:50:06,119
you guys do these things, they
always refer to it as iOS and droid

1698
01:50:09,079 --> 01:50:13,079
say that's not cool. You can
you can tell it's an iPhone user maintaining

1699
01:50:13,119 --> 01:50:17,239
that right. It's like that was
motor rolla. What are you not a

1700
01:50:17,279 --> 01:50:23,359
going concern? No crazy, yeah, just baffling nuts. All right,

1701
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:28,680
let's see, there we go.
We're doing in two thousand and twenty one,

1702
01:50:29,359 --> 01:50:33,319
twenty one. I'm sorry it came
out and Tony Tony never mind,

1703
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:41,680
somebody posted a game. It confused
me. Okay, I'm bringing it back

1704
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:45,520
at you ready, this is I'm
ready, sir. All right, we

1705
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,119
could bring it right back in if
you guys are good. Yeah, we're

1706
01:50:47,159 --> 01:50:49,119
good. Yeah, I'm good.
It
