Backlar. I'm joined by a trio of

10
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.439
generally good people. Dan Reicherd,

12
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.599

I'm doing good. I'm gonna there's a

13
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:17.719
twenty twenty two on the screen and
that's messing everybody up, So I'm gonna

14
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.480
cover up with some text here it's
says twenty twenty four instead using the text

15
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.680
tool in obs. Thanks bro yep, I'm here for you. Very good

16
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.159
work. Thank you. Jeff Grubb, Turbo Shawn is here as well.

17
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.879
How are you christening twenty twenty four
with us? Sir? Trying to wrap

18
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.159
my head around DHL is an American
founded German logistics company. I don't know

19
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.719
how that. I still don't know
what that means. I'm not gonna read

20
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:45.120
anymore on the Wikipedia. Are you
attempting to besmirch the good name of DH?

21
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.400
I'm just like Grub was adamant that
it's like a German company. I'm

22
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.040
like, yeah, that sounds right
now. I'm like, American founded German

23
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.799
logistics. How does that work out? Yes, so they outsourced their German

24
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.760
logistics to America, as you do, all right, the other you get,

25
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.439
the money comes to America. The
logistics happened in Germany. That's what

26
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.919
That's what you would want, right, Okay, Now to this college dropout,

27
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.800
would you mind explaining in layman terms
of what that means? Oh?

28
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.400
Which part? Okay? Well,
listen. It's like when a person from

29
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.719
America is like, Hey, we
want to start a shipping company, but

30
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.400
we're going to base it out of
a different country because the in the United

31
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.000
States it's already completely saturated by as
it's like a Swiss Bank account. Okay,

32
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.719
I got yeah, got it.
It's any more than that. They

33
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.400
probably just remember figured they could do
a hub in Germany and that would make

34
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.400
it easier. But I'm guessing here, so I don't know. I'm magnure

35
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.039
that. Right as we were going
on the air, Alex Navarro and somebody

36
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.639
else joined the Discord call and we're
just sitting there like as we were going

37
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.080
off the left line, Oh did
they really? That was weird? Alex

38
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.879
Navarrow pop out, like, what's
that happened once before? So I was

39
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.439
trying to get some people to join
for the first Mortal Kombat when I was

40
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.919
playing through the World Combat stories and
in the chat for this room that we

41
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.360
use in Discord, I went at
everyone, not realizing what I did,

42
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.599
not realizing that when people go to
check that notification, they it makes them

43
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:21.439
join the audio call by clicking on
it. Yeah and and yeah, take

44
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.840
you right into the call. And
I was like, uh, Alex Snovari,

45
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.879
I don't Hey, you don't have
to be here. You can do

46
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:31.439
your own job anymore. Listen,
listen, I want to do it again.

47
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:37.280
Then no, it's bad, it's
bad form. I want to do

48
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:44.319
it again. This is this is
we're fishing. This is fishing. Poa

49
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.080
correct, We're all going to get
new Blake club games if Alex comes in.

50
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.159
I think, yeah, that's right. We've got to be very careful

51
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.360
with that. Absolutely. Oh man, what dangerous power we are wielding in

52
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.840
the palm of our hands. Out. How's how's everyone and doing? Happy

53
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.719
New Year to you all? Uh
I, I don't really care much about

54
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.319
this holiday, but it feels good
to say it, so Happy New Year.

55
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.400
That's right, That's right, everyone
new Jeff New, twenty twenty four,

56
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:20.279
New Year. I'm gonna like everything. Whoa whoa for New Year's the

57
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:26.480
first thing starting great here. Basically
the first words of the New Year was

58
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.839
I don't care about this ship.
Yeah, but I'm gonna be nice about

59
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.079
it as odds with the new attitude. Fair fair, I'm gonna I'm gonna

60
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:38.240
walk it back. I'm gonna lose
me walking it back, and I'm gonna

61
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.639
say I'm just gonna be more honest
about everything. Now, Okay, okay,

62
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.040
that is cool. I could accept
that. Seems like a better on.

63
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.000
Five minutes into the first BombCast the
year, and we're walking stuff back.

64
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.000
This is a great start guys.
Yeah, I regrets. I agress

65
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.839
drank from a billion kegs in my
life, but I've never gotten one myself.

66
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.399
And so I got a keg for
a New Year's party I had here,

67
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.560
and that meant I had to try
to tap it. And so it's

68
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.879
in my kitchen and I put the
put the YouTube tutorial. I talked to

69
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.600
the guy at the store for a
while, like how do I do this?

70
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.480
I act like you're talking about five
year old and walk me through everything

71
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.000
because I don't want this to explode, And so he showed me everything and

72
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.879
I took it home. I still
put up a YouTube tutorial just to be

73
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.279
safe, and I'm step by step, like frame by frame, almost following

74
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.519
this thing, and it fucking explodes
all over me. Like two hours before

75
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.439
the party, we had a painting
up there. It's on like a shoot

76
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.480
paint like got beer on it,
and everything just exploded all over the fucking

77
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.040
kitchen, all over me. So
I'm just wreaking a beer as soon as

78
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.399
guest started showing up, and it's
all over the kitchen, not getting that

79
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.879
you pauzed back? Do you do? You know? Like what was the

80
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.680
failure point? I don't know adult. Timptorry showed up later and he was

81
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.480
able to do it like an adult. But yeah, yeah, like,

82
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.480
I mean, I haven't done it
in many, many years, but I

83
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.480
don't remember being brain surgery by any
stretch. It's just that you touch this

84
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.480
little thing and then there's any pressure
on it. If it's not immediately locked

85
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.360
in, it just just fucking explodes
like the old like vinegar baking soda volcanoes.

86
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.480
I like those vinegar baking volcanic mark
for those. Yea, yeah,

87
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.720
absolutely, that was They're like,
make a science project. I'm like,

88
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:15.959
I'm just gonna do that again.
That was great every year? Yeah,

89
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.800
yeah, for real, every year. I would have done it if they

90
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.759
would have let me. Yeah,
so you had a good New Year's Is

91
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.279
that aside? Smell? It was
great? It was awesome. I was

92
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.240
watching Grimlins two at five in the
morning, so yeah, it went great

93
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.399
always. That is that a thing? Like you? You were like,

94
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.399
I'm a not only am I staying
up till midnight, I am staying up

95
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.480
till somebody It was like two,
it was like one or two am by

96
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.600
the point that I have a Grimlin
in my room here and it's like one

97
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.439
of the full size like Grimlins and
uh, somebody a friend of mine was

98
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.759
like, oh, I've never seen
the second one. I was like what

99
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.600
And I literally just like running around
the party like, all right, who's

100
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.680
in for the late night Grimlins crew? We're doing Grimlins two and so at

101
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.439
like three thirty am, I think
we started Grimlins two and watched it and

102
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.519
it was fantastic. God, we
defined fun so different one. It was

103
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.680
great. We have such different ideas
of what Wait new Jeff loves Gremlins too,

104
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.360
right, that's right, Yeah,
I haven't seen it. He's being

105
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.959
very truthful, being honest. It's
my honesty. ARC. Okay, podcast

106
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.079
has not seen Gremlins too. That's
good, No good, no honesty,

107
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.160
ARC, I haven't seen it.
I can't stress enough how important it is

108
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.959
to cinema. Honesty. ARC.
Haven't seen it. Don't care that much

109
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.000
for the first one. No,
I don't even really care about the first

110
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.920
one. And I realized that the
joke is like the second one, was

111
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.040
like, hey, what if we
just made this and didn't give a shit?

112
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.319
I know, yes, and that's
why that one's awesome. In the

113
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:42.600
first one, yeah, yes,
I watched Home alone with my child for

114
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.240
the first time. Last night and
uh still unsure if that was a mistake.

115
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.439
Think he's gonna good ideas. Well, he's either gonna go to good

116
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.879
ideas. You're gonna go one of
maybe three ways. One he's like,

117
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.240
oh, a career in a home
invasion now possibility number Two, he's gonna

118
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.439
like think all criminals are as dumb
as Marvin Harry. They might just be

119
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.639
like be like I can defend my
home. Or uh. Three, he's

120
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:16.399
just gonna be completely taken over and
obsessed with, uh, you know,

121
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.120
just being robbed all the time,
which I guess is a thing that happened

122
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.879
to people who saw that movie when
they were really young. Oh really,

123
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.480
it never even really occurred to me
as a kid. I was watching like

124
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.519
that's a fantasy that doesn't happen,
exactly, Like that movie came out when

125
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.840
I was Dibb's age and I saw
in the theater, and I never once

126
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.679
was like, wait a minute,
this is potentially scary, Like it didn't

127
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.600
even didn't even occur to me.
I was just like, oh, these

128
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.440
are the two biggest fucking idiots ever
and they probably should have died by now.

129
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.840
Not wrong, Well, well they
know clearly are they're immortal that cannot

130
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.799
be killed. So that's a big, big benefit for them. I do

131
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.879
have a new uh conspiracy theory about
Home Alone that like to unleash to the

132
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:00.240
world. New Jeff is a big
conspiracy theory. Guy in four hey,

133
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.879
fuggle up because it's in four days
from now today being January second. So

134
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:11.879
yeah, ok oh, yeah,
that's holiday backler, that's what he's looking

135
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.960
for New Years. January sixth is
where it's at for back alot, Mister

136
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.440
Slay's allowed to talk about whatever the
fuck he wants to. Okay, Uh,

137
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.159
let me ask you folks who have
seen Home Alone, do you do

138
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:30.840
you ever recall seeing Kevin's room in
that house? No house, it's most

139
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.440
of the common areas. And then
when he's doing the bathroom stuff, he's

140
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.720
in like the master bathroom. Right, where's his fucking room when you're packing,

141
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.720
when they're packing his bag at the
very beginning, is that his room?

142
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.559
Or are they Are they in the
mom's room at that point? No,

143
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.279
that's the mom's room. The first
scene is in the master bag he

144
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.519
goes to everyone else to ask for
help for package. Yeah. Yeah,

145
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.960
he doesn't live in the attic.
The attic is clearly a guest room.

146
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.759
It's clearly some sort of you know, he got what he got sent to

147
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.960
the attic, right, did you
get? Like? Yeah, I punish

148
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.200
Schmidt. Like Catherine, her hare
is not like go up to your room,

149
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.960
she says, go up to the
scary, creepy attic where we don't

150
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.759
want to look at you anymore.
Yues, they just didn't bother. They

151
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.679
probably just didn't bother making that set, because if you're only going to show

152
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.159
up for like the opening scene,
because he's spending the rest of the movie

153
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:22.559
everywhere else, why bother Sean the
conspiracy there has come. Kevin is a

154
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.240
ghost. That's a success situation.
They can't all be ghosts. Back,

155
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.200
are you say this about every movie? Okay, he's not a ghost,

156
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:39.639
he's he's a he's a angel.
He's an angel baby in the dream of

157
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.919
Catherine O'Hara, while she's on the
Polka truck, Sure what happens he dies

158
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:50.000
of beastings girl. So maybe it's
that's the prequel, is in the moment

159
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:58.879
that he's dying in my girl.
Yes, I'm sorry, but this disturbed

160
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.200
me in a very big way.
Also, uh, because he does have

161
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.120
a bedroom that you saw looked over. I looked over and I go to

162
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.519
say some like there's this kid's bedroom, like there's this is the biggest house

163
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.879
and I haven't seen it, so
it doesn't exist. That's what, husband

164
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.559
of mine. You're onto something here
and we haven't slept since so, I

165
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.559
mean, you know, we're getting
down to the gritty details. Come a

166
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:35.200
lot. It's really it's really good. I love fucking the old man.

167
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:43.799
I said, we got that recorded, right, We gotta okay, good,

168
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.480
okay, good, good, good
fantastic. Why do I speak?

169
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.000
Uh? The old man who literally
does nothing to help himself. He's like

170
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.000
the creepiest looking motherfucker ever. He
knows there's rumors going around about him,

171
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.759
yet he continues to drag a metal
trash cannon around, being as creepy as

172
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.879
possible, not saying a word,
being all bloody and fucked up. Right,

173
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.320
It's down until they're in the church
where he's like, hey, I'm

174
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:15.399
actually normal. If there were stories
about you in the neighborhood, you wouldn't

175
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:16.440
play them up. Come on,
Oh, I know what that's about,

176
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.240
baby, You're damn right I play
there. You know he's not just shy.

177
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.159
He has every opportunity to say hi
to Kevin get out of here.

178
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.679
Also, it pisses me off that
like Catherin Hare's like, I have to

179
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.200
just go home again, right,
And meanwhile everyone gets home the same time

180
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.559
she does. She spends a million
dollars to like hitchhike across the United States

181
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.440
and get back and everyone shows up
the same time. I'm just like,

182
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:52.440
Oh, what a waste of fucking
money. What a waste of fucking money.

183
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.159
This is like when people are like
Indiana Jones and Raiders that lost Ark.

184
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.080
Everything would happen just fine without him. Like, yeah, that's not

185
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.720
the point of stories. That's not
what it's about. No one's keeping score,

186
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.480
Like, what are you talking about, people, I'm bouncing the check

187
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.679
books here. Except for back backlar
is keeping score. Okay, Last Home

188
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.200
Alone trivia true or false? They
really do put a tarantula on Daniel Stern's

189
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.759
face. That's why I assuming.
I bet he'd be gaing for that.

190
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.159
Everyone thought they didn't, but they
did. It's absolutely true. Yeah,

191
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.320
Danger Stern seems like he's down to
clown. Oh, he was clearly down

192
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.960
for whatever. He's like, look
you want to throw me down the stairs?

193
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.080
Happy to do it. There was
really good in that movie too.

194
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.440
Bush Whacked. He's down for a
lot of stuff and bush Whacked. Everyone

195
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.399
remembers bush Whacked, right, that's
the rest. I do remember Bushwhacked once.

196
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.000
No, you're thinking of the bush
Whackers, not Everything's wrestling Backlar.

197
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.559
No, thisic the nineteen ninety five
comedy film. Yeah, he like leads

198
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.200
children into the woods or something that. Yeah, get his ass kicked for

199
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.919
another hour and a half. That
was kind of his That was his gimmick

200
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.559
back then. I do remember this. You know what Daniel Stern national treasure

201
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.960
he keeps. He should get like
some sort of lifetime achievement award. It's

202
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.159
on some point. Yeah, give
him like a Kennedy Center award, or

203
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.879
do one of those do one of
those keybodies or whatever things are. If

204
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.320
you google image search Bushwack, there's
like three different posters or DVD covers for

205
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.000
this movie, and they're all amazing. They're all like him falling or swinging

206
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.120
and screaming. Yeah, there's one
of them. This looks great. Yeah,

207
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.159
I mean, aside from being the
voice of Kevin Arnold, he got

208
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.279
the shit kicked out of him in
a lot of movies. Oh, man,

209
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.759
these good posters are really good.
I might get all of them.

210
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.759
Giant poster, a bigger and bigger
poster, A bushwack arrives at my house

211
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.039
every day for a year. That's
gonna do it. Well. That about

212
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.440
sums up my holiday break. What
about you all? How to go for

213
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.679
you sickness? Mostly? Yeah the
case. So I got over my sickness,

214
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.799
and then everyone else got sick,
so we're gonna do a family Christmas

215
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.600
thing and then I'm like, well, I guess it's just me coming down.

216
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.679
And then a few hours later it's
like everyone's getting worse. You should

217
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.080
come home. So I got back
home that night, and the little ones

218
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.000
just keep getting sicker. So I'm
like, okay, we're gonna have to

219
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.720
go to urchin care at some point
here because it's not like it's probably just

220
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.720
a flu, but it's like,
I would like it better if you seem

221
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.559
to be improving instead of getting worse, like the day before you go back

222
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.960
to school. So lots of that, but apparently that's everybody. I've heard

223
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.120
a lot of people got sick over
the holidays, so not just Fleu,

224
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.440
a lot of covid Our boy jams
is the almost sickness as well. So

225
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.480
yeah, apparently everybody's dealing with that, so that that kind of like put

226
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.840
a damper on my break where it's
like, uh, kind of just dealing

227
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.720
with that mostly. Sorry to hear
that, and you sound good now I'm

228
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.480
doing. I'm doing fantastic. I'm
great. Nothing's gonna kill me. Ever,

229
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.879
speaking of nothing that will kill you, Dan Reichert, how how's your

230
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.200
break? It's good. It was
travel and you know, getting ready for

231
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.879
the party and all that stuff,
so it felt like it was busy for

232
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.759
a break, but oh I was. I was waiting in the airport in

233
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.039
Kansas City to come back, and
my flight kept getting it got delayed like

234
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.240
five hours. I'm like, God, damn it, I gotta sit in

235
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.000
the Kansas City airport on my break, which is a new airport. It's

236
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.919
a nice airport, but I just
wanted to get home so bad. But

237
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.879
then I go to a new bar
there and they've got self served beer kios

238
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.840
and like each one's airport beers,
and so it's like you go up and

239
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:17.960
you just you know, do your
Apple pay or you can do it to

240
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.559
wipe a credit card, and then
it's like buy the ounce so it'll be

241
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.879
like, oh, sixteen ounces of
most of these beers were like eleven or

242
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.480
twelve dollars. And then I looked
around. Yeah, but one of them,

243
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.440
luck, one of them said fifty
cents. And I'm looking at all

244
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.200
of them. There's like twenty different
beers, you know, spouts, and

245
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.440
I'm looking at all of them,
say eleven, twelve, eleven, twelve,

246
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.919
thirteen. Yeah, that says fifty
cents for sixteen ounces. Okay,

247
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.080
I'm not reading that wrong or anything. And it's the Sam Adams Winter Logger.

248
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:45.600
And I was like, all right, and I scanned my Apple Pay

249
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.240
and I filled it up all the
way and then I checked my my app

250
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.120
and it was like, yeah,
you got charged fifty cents. I was

251
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.519
like, you've got hell yeah.
Well, this whole fuck, I'm just

252
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.720
playing steam Deck. There was a
ten week old Golden retreat for puppy next

253
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.919
to me the whole time from someone
else was also on the same flight,

254
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.400
just being adorable this little puppy.
So I'm playing steam Deck, I'm playing

255
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.400
Doom Eternal. I got a puppy
next to me, and I'm drinking fifty

256
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.720
five dollars worth of beer for two
dollars and fifty cents of the airport,

257
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.440
and I'm like, all right,
my flight's delayed. This is the way

258
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:19.000
to do it. This is awesome. Man violently throwing up on the point.

259
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.279
No, I was having a great
time. It was awesome. And

260
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:23.680
when I left, I paid it
for it. I turned around. There

261
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.559
was a guy next he was like, hey, heads up, go look

262
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.240
at the price on that same Adams
winter logger. Holy shit, thank you

263
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.960
while you were sitting there, did
anyone else? And vibe like, while

264
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.160
I was sitting there, I didn't
want to raise too many flags, right,

265
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:38.680
Yeah, I just I wouldn't know. Was my secret for like five

266
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.519
hours, and then I passed it
on as I left. Yeah, very

267
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.559
cool. It was awesome, very
good. Casey Joe's barbecue though. We

268
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.119
made that on Christmas Day, and
hey, that's good barbecue turned out.

269
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:55.000
It's incredible, right, also really
good. It's got that right level spiciness,

270
00:17:55.279 --> 00:18:00.720
the hot spiciness, very flavorful.
Yeah yeah, yes, spurnings were

271
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.599
tender as hell. We had the
pulled port as well. The sausage was

272
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.200
fantastic. It's like really spicy and
crispy. It was really really good food.

273
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:08.960
I never get the sausage. I
should do that on my next door.

274
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.720
Really liked the sausage. Yes,
huge ark for Casey Joe's always so

275
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.359
yeah. I had it delivered like
you said, and they just shipped it

276
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.400
in like the dried ice and all
that stuff and it became perfect. And

277
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.160
uh, couple of bags did like
break open, so it was like I

278
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.079
couldn't really boil them, but I
found out their ways to heat them up

279
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.440
and it was all good. Yeah
that's awesome, Yeah, real good.

280
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.920
I can't say enough about them.
Yep, Sean, what kind of barbecue

281
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.759
did you eat over the break?
None? Man, how do I follow

282
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:40.200
any of this? Just had the
best break ever. At least I didn't

283
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.359
get sick. I will say that
I wasn't sick. I had a very.

284
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.680
I had a very you know,
just solid, like lazy break in

285
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.039
the best way possible. Just got
some housework done, did some sprin cleaning

286
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.559
on computer, and then just you
know, played some games throughout the throughout

287
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.759
the week. I finally got a
chance. I got my Steam deck back

288
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.039
there, finally got a chance like
set up thing on there, and so

289
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.720
I just started playing like a whole
sore and random games, some emulation stuff,

290
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.480
some Steam stuff, some other stuff
I got sup from Epic and whatnot

291
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.680
because they're now free games left and
right, as they do over the holidays.

292
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.920
I just oh, man, it
was just so nice to unwind and

293
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.440
just take some time off from me
dinner. Denre was not nearly as excited

294
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.839
I would know what to do for
Christmas dare anymore? Like I just like

295
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.359
repeat Thanksgiving dinner at this point minus
the cramp. Yeah, that's that's why

296
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.680
I was trying to avoid. That's
why I was like, dance but talk

297
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.599
about Casey Joe's. We were going
to deliver it. I just thought we

298
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:34.039
just left LA and I was like, looking at the price, I'm like,

299
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.000
this is not bad. This is
going to make a lot of sense

300
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:38.240
just to have this ready to go
for Christmas dinner. So I was glad

301
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.759
to do something very different. But
like a traditional Christmas dinner is like what

302
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.839
like I guess a lot of people
do Turkey still, but like a spiral,

303
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.839
it's like Thanksgiving. That's why I
did, you know, I just

304
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.000
didn't ham and some some stuffing because
I was like, ah, we still

305
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.519
got like a box list. Stuffing's
great every day of the year. Yeah,

306
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.119
I just did that. We well, my my family has a tradition

307
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:02.480
of we don't want people working our
holiday. So Christmas Eve dinner is always

308
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.240
we just order a pizza, so
you know, I have that tradition of

309
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.440
course. But yeah, we went
to the Hibachi and that was. That

310
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.960
was great. Nice. I love
this places. Yes, it was that's

311
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:12.640
we do that every Christmas Eve,
and that's great. And I was all

312
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.759
ready to get on the healthy train
after this, you know, gauntlet of

313
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.160
travel and holidays and stuff. But
then for the party, we ordered ten

314
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.240
pizzas, and but we also had
like this huge spread and all this other

315
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.440
stuff, and we had all this
food before the pizzas, so like half

316
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.720
of the pizza's got eaten, and
so now I've got like five pizza.

317
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.319
So this morning I just had like
six slices of pizza. Immediately, I

318
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:36.400
gotta go through this and I can
start getting out the Yeah yeah, yeah,

319
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.680
yeah, you just eat pizza for
breakfast. Hell yeah, breakfast food

320
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:44.720
people are there's some weird scam going
on with breakfast. It's people are lying

321
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.480
to you. It's break food is
good anytime of day. If it's good

322
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.440
at eight o'clock at night, it's
good at eight in the morning. I

323
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.880
don't know what an egg industry has
pulled the wool over everyone's eyes or something,

324
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:00.240
but yeah, the big egg is
is everywhere. The terry industy tree

325
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.240
is massively powerful. Yes, that's
just all correct. Yeah, yeah,

326
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:11.000
I just I just kind of feel
like I want that savoriness, uh,

327
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.440
not for breakfast, you know,
that's all. That's really just because you've

328
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:19.640
been right. Yeah, I'm in
the p Yeah, I'm in the pocketa

329
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.039
big egg. What do you how
do you you freezing all that pizza or

330
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.000
what are you doing? It's in
the fridge and I just air fry it.

331
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.519
Yeah, but I'm saying like,
because eventually it's gonna be in there

332
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.160
for a while. I can do
maybe one or two more days of it,

333
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:33.839
and I'll probably toss the rest eventually. Eventually, some many of those

334
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.359
pizzas are just gonna go feed the
raccoons. Yeah, I don't be afraid

335
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.559
to freeze pizza. Don't be afraid. Oh no, it's great for that.

336
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.559
But I also had as part of
the the spread, you know,

337
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.880
Bank made all this like incredible food
and made cakes and all of a sudden,

338
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.559
this big charcoterie spread and everything and
My contribution was a little plate of

339
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.119
Oreos and Nato cheese, and I
made a people try it and almost universally

340
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:02.920
thumbs up. It's way better than
I ever would have given you credit for.

341
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.519
Yes, it's right, convincing and
be like just try it, just

342
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:07.480
try one. I promise it's not
gonna be gross, and a lot of

343
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.960
like thinking chewing, and then like, you know, that's actually a lot

344
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.599
better than I expect him. He
says he won't try that, and that's

345
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:23.119
when I'm like, listen, the
fruit thing, we understand, it's understand.

346
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.960
It's a big word, is different
exactly. Accept you as you are,

347
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.759
Mike. But for the natural cheese
and oreo, now, he just

348
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.599
he needs to step up for that
one. I remember when we brought that

349
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:36.440
to me. I was like,
yeah, this is probably gonna be good.

350
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.440
Remember you did it to me in
New York. You're in the office,

351
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.279
You're you're like that. Then you're
like, yeah, that's cool,

352
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.720
let's go. I think. I
was just like, yeah, this is

353
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.359
probably gonna be good. It's like
salty and sweet and it's probably gonna be

354
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.920
good and good. Well, you
were just hopping around like an idiot being

355
00:22:52.960 --> 00:23:00.519
like, oh this is You're like, is gonna blow your mind? And

356
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.480
I'm like, come on, dude, sweet cheese. Like I'm not saying

357
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.519
it's the best food ever. I'm
just saying it's a lot better than you

358
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:11.079
would expect. Yeah, they should
make like pretzel oreos and then dip that

359
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.599
in the nacho cheese that because I
like pretzels and cheese a great deal.

360
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.440
I had that a bunch over the
break, just like we were up in

361
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.319
Vermont skiing and like every restaurant had
like pretzels and cheese, and I was

362
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.000
like, real nice, real hot
pretzel, and Tim Terry brought me a

363
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:32.480
ceramic Donkey Kong barrel filled with loose
Skittles and Starbursts, and I just don't

364
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:37.759
feel like anyone's ever understood me more
than Starburst already unwrapped. No, so

365
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.279
no, sorry loose loose Skittles.
The Star Wars are wrapped, so I

366
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.119
got the DK barrel upstairs. It's
just wonderful stars packaging. They are just

367
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.920
in the wrappers, like the Star
Wars are just in the rappers with the

368
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.119
star exactly. Ok. Yeah yeah. And then we were talking about what

369
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:52.680
to do afterwards, and Bonk had
the idea of like we could put like

370
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:59.039
a Venus fly trap and a Donkey
Kong barrel around. Yeah, okay,

371
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.720
that might be cool. Do they
do Star Wars Raw Dog anywhere? Like?

372
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:06.960
Can you get Raw Dogs mini bags? You open? I got one

373
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:08.119
of those upstairs. You open it
up. It's like a ziploc thing,

374
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:12.039
and it's dangerous because you just get
a handful of the tiniest starburs and then

375
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.880
takes like forever to chew. But
it's delicious. Yes, they're like tiny

376
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.839
little cubes. They're unwrapped, so
I don't think I've seen those. They're

377
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:25.279
not really haven't been in a dollar
store recently. Sorry that Yeah, it's

378
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:27.640
like if you like Honey I shrunk
the kids like starbars Like, it would

379
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:32.440
be the same, same proportions and
everything, just much chinier. They Raw

380
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:38.880
Dog Reese's Peanut butter mini cups?
Did they have a little like Uh?

381
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.319
Yeah, they're just like little morsels
like little Okay, those are dangerous.

382
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:51.799
I won't just see a bag of
those straight up. Yeah all right.

383
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.279
Well, as much as I continue
to, uh, I want to talk

384
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.640
about candy, I guess at some
point we should probably talk about video games

385
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:06.720
over this break. I'm trying to
think if I did anything with DIB game

386
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:10.759
wise, we played a lot more
Spider Man. We had seen credits roll

387
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:15.599
on that, but uh, you
know you see credits roll on that.

388
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:21.319
It just makes my kids think like
everything has a stinger, Like there's always

389
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.200
a thing at the end of everything, and it's just like I don't know

390
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:27.160
what to tell you it, you
know, Like he thinks, he's like,

391
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.039
well, when's the Seaguel coming in. I'm like, dude, it's

392
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.440
it's twenty twenty. Like we just
know it's all the long time. He

393
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.240
is a long nine, he's a
eight. Okay. That is like he's

394
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.720
had a like maybe a year of
understanding time in any real way, right,

395
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.440
he still doesn't. Yeah, right, the concept of time like really

396
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:51.480
takes a long while for kids to
get the hang of like duration, Like

397
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.559
there's no way, like ten minutes
is the longest time in the world.

398
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:56.359
To my kids, I'm like,
I'll do it in ten minutes or like

399
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.319
that is literally forever. I'm oh, okay, it's like I just got

400
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.599
to finish like one or two things
and I'll be right over there. So

401
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.279
yeah, and it's probably gotta takehim
a minute before he recognizes what a heat

402
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.039
like, Oh, that game's coming
out in two or three, five years,

403
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.240
like that means nothing to him right
now. I was thinking about talking

404
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:17.240
to him about the Insomniac League,
but I chose again. I mean,

405
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:18.759
you have to at some point,
like we all have to protect you from

406
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.839
it. Yeah, I don't know. This is what's wrong with these Are

407
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.960
these the leakers? They forced us
parents of these hardest situations. Absolutely.

408
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.480
Uh. The only game that I
wound up playing unexpectedly over the break was

409
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:40.759
beer Pong and that for the week. Not that was not expected, not

410
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.759
for the wee, for the for
the patio, and uh, that's what

411
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.319
we did on New Year's But game
wise, no, I I did not

412
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.359
get into too much trouble. But
I want to hear what you guys got

413
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.599
into trouble with h I play.
I got into that puzzmo finally that I

414
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.240
was talking about, Yeah, I'm
phoning up the forty dollars, even because

415
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.839
I'm like, yeah, I'll do
this for a year, someone like,

416
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.559
I don't know. At some point
someone mentioned it's like, oh, it's

417
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.039
just cool to have it. Maybe
it was one of the game of the

418
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.680
Year lists. It's nice to have
those daily newspaper games. Obviously, like

419
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:12.640
wordle it was filling that spot in
New York Times. Games with connections and

420
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.920
stuff fills that spot. But puzzmo't
just having it all right there in front

421
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.079
of you on this web page and
then having familiar things like spell Towers that

422
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.720
what it is. And then some
of the other games that oh, really

423
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.039
bad chess, like just having it
all in there as like, oh,

424
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.759
this is one place I can go
and play these games that I was sort

425
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.839
of like going to from app to
app on my phone and instead of having

426
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.039
an all in one convenient location really
makes it somehow a little bit better.

427
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.200
And then the leaderboards are done really
well, having like the games tell you

428
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.440
your percent tile for any number of
aspects of how you performed, where it's

429
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.359
like, okay, you're in like
the twentieth percentile for time, but in

430
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:51.160
score you're in the tenth percentile.
It's like, oh that feels really good.

431
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:52.960
And then I do really bad and
really bad chess, it's like you're

432
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.839
in the sixtieth percent time. I'm
like, okay, well, next time,

433
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.960
I'll try to think about it a
little bit harder, but just and

434
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:00.599
then having all like the games that
are experimental as well, where like,

435
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.599
hey, we're trying these things.
They're not finished, but you can start

436
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.799
playing with them now. I really
like appreciate that where it's like there's always

437
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.839
going to be something new, and
then there's several like really strong games already

438
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.559
that I will play every day,
and then I'll experiment with some of these

439
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.640
other ones. And that's been really
fantastic. So yeah, I just like

440
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.440
in the mood for these kinds of
things. It's like five minutes I have

441
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:25.400
here and there to play something like
Connections. It's like I get down with

442
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:26.400
Connections. I'm like, Okay,
well I have a little bit more time.

443
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.279
I would like to do something,
but I'm not going to go start

444
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.160
up a whole, real, big, actual video game. So going to

445
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.680
Pusmo dot com, I'm like,
yeah, this is a really it fits

446
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.000
in with my life really well.
So I'm a big fan of it so

447
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.839
far. This is awesome. I
have not been here before and I just

448
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:41.400
checked it out and like I just
typed in a couple like crossword things.

449
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.000
It's so smart the way it auto
fills, like the clues like oh this

450
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.960
I got blank blank tea. So
this is is Zach Gage right. This

451
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.400
is a developer, and Zach's been
doing mobile game design for a very long

452
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.680
time and has a very good understanding
of what a good one of these looks

453
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.759
like and behaves like. And it
just comes across in every single one of

454
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.359
these games. And then the games
are not just all like oh, it's

455
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:08.000
not like a one person show.
They're bringing in editors to like, okay,

456
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.240
someone else is editing the new crossword
puzzle and things like that. So

457
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.640
it's just really it's the next generation
of newspaper games. Is really what it

458
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.960
feels like in a really clean and
cool way. Yeah, especially with all

459
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:26.279
the stat tracking and stuff. Yeah. Uh, I I got I got

460
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.920
in a little earlier before I guess
it went fully public And now I see

461
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.160
that they're there. They are gating
some of the puzzles. But I mean,

462
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.799
uh that now who's uh it was
Ben's Ben's game of the Year list.

463
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.440
Uh he mentioned this. I'm like, oh, okay, I'm gon

464
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.200
go check it out. Then,
yeah, like cube clear, I really

465
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.400
like and uh now that I see
it's it's gated, I'm like, yeah

466
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.039
this to spend that for the year
is uh is totally worth it? For

467
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:53.200
sure? Y? Yeah, I
played this like on ski lifts. Yeah,

468
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.720
like waiting waiting for like, you
know, someone crashes up there,

469
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.839
so the ski lift stops. You
like, all right, well we'll just

470
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.200
this for thirty seconds. E.
Some snowboarder aid it again. Yeah yeah,

471
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.279
oh well how am I doing?
No that? The pusmo is awesome?

472
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.079
Can't recommend it enough? Yeah,
big fan of it. I also

473
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:17.240
finished my first like full campaign of
Steam World Build. Really enjoyed that city

474
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.440
builder game. I've talked about it
before just to recap. It is like

475
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:22.759
a city builder up top. As
I've explained it to Mike. He says,

476
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.000
it sounds a lot like Anno,
and other people have mentioned that as

477
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:29.680
well, but the Ubisoft city building
games like Anno eighteen eighty six or whatever

478
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:33.160
it was, that's not the year. But so on the top level is

479
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.279
the order is yeah, the order, yeah, Ano, the order eighteen

480
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.480
eighty six. On the top level
is where you're building the city, and

481
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.440
it's pretty simple of like, Okay, you have this building, and the

482
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.279
building's not going to necessarily do much
for you in terms of mechanics, but

483
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.559
what it does is feed into another
building that you need to upgrade this building,

484
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.039
and then that process gets more and
more complicated until you get to the

485
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:57.640
end, and then you need to
be like filling up gas into a ship,

486
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.359
and every one of your cities and
needs to be happy in order to

487
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.279
be able to produce that particular resource
and in order to make people happy.

488
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.599
Then you've got to go to the
bottom levels, which is like these minds

489
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.559
that you need to work with,
some with a different kind of characters and

490
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.759
they and then this is where you
can actually get attacked by enemies, and

491
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.759
so you have to set up defensive
positions and actually send out a little riflemen

492
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.319
to go out and attack these guys. So there's more going on and it

493
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.079
gives you a lot a lot to
juggle, But at a certain point,

494
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:27.039
it's like at the end of the
game, I'm like, I think I

495
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.799
got what I wanted out of this. I don't necessarily feel a need to

496
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.039
return to Steam World Build. I
think a big part of that is that

497
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.480
going through that process is satisfying the
first time. But like, looking back,

498
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.160
I don't really feel like I have
too many stories of my time with

499
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.039
this game. It was like,
no, I went through the process and

500
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:47.880
I did one step, then the
next step in the next step and yeah,

501
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.160
that was great, but it wasn't. It didn't feel bespoke. It

502
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:52.720
didn't feel like I made a lot
of decisions. I sort of was just

503
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.559
filling up the meters and then going
to the next challenge was which was filling

504
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.960
up different meters. It's still really
well done, and I'm always impressed with

505
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:06.160
like the Steam World a universe and
how they're able to adjust to these different

506
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:09.359
genres and they do so really well. But I think I'm probably good on

507
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:15.599
any more time with Steam World Build
personally. Okay, what else do we

508
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.519
have here? My big one that
I've been playing. I had not heard

509
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:24.200
anyone else talk about until Bank recommended
it to me. It's called the Cobalt

510
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:29.640
Core and it is on Switch and
I've been playing on Steam Deck as I

511
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.000
travel. Bank's been playing the Switch
version and apparently runs great on there as

512
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:37.480
well. It is like Into the
Breach meets Slay the Spire, but it's

513
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.480
like space combat, like with ships
and stuff. So it's like you play

514
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.759
like you can unlock all these different
space ships and everything, and you'll be

515
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.160
on the bottom, the enemy ship
is on the top, and it's deck

516
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:51.160
building and so you'll bring three characters
in our three pilots, and they all

517
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:53.480
have totally different styles where it's like, okay, this one all their stuff

518
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.559
is about mobility. This one is
all about like launching these drones that will

519
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.480
like auto attack, So like good
Variet there with the different decks and everything,

520
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.559
and just like Slay the Spire,
unlocking new cards and everything that pop

521
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.799
up in future runs. It does
that same type of you know rogue light

522
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:09.799
map where you can choose do I
go here and repair go here and you

523
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.440
like or go to like a boss
fight or something like that, and then

524
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.680
I'll get these artifacts that are you
know, persistent upgrades and things like that.

525
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.599
It's the thing about it that reminds
me of Into the Breach is like

526
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.720
you always see what the enemy is
going to be doing. So they'll be

527
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.400
up there and you will see,
like, okay, when it's their turn,

528
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:30.400
that cannon is going to shoot for
two damage this over here, they're

529
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:34.400
going to shoot an asteroid out to
try to block my next thing. Here.

530
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.559
They've added a statis effect themselves,
so they are going to auto dodge

531
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.480
my first shot on the next turn, So like you know exactly what you're

532
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.519
dealing with. There's like no surprises, you know, just like Into the

533
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.359
Breach and man, I'm on,
I've done a bunch of different runs on

534
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:50.000
it now unlocked a bunch of different
ships and pilots, and like, it's

535
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:52.079
just so much fun to seeing the
different ways that the pilots and decks can

536
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:58.839
work together and uh, incredibly smartly
put together. Getting this right away is

537
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:02.359
it's bic. It has been my
go to and it is perfect, perfect

538
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:05.839
to be just like like I love
night towards like me and Bonk and we're

539
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:07.000
both just like playing something on the
couch, like like last night, you

540
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.199
know, we had raw on three
hours and sometimes you pay attention, sometimes

541
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.599
you don't, and we're just sitting
there playing Cobalt Corps for hours, and

542
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:19.559
uh, just wonderful for that.
Yeah, I love Into the Breach.

543
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.559
One of my favorite games of all
time. Uh and yeah, and I

544
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.480
also like we've been looking to get
into like something like Slay the Spire,

545
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.440
So yeah, this could be the
one for me and I love I Love

546
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:32.800
very much FTL. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, I would love

547
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.400
to hear what you think of it, because like I I kind of want

548
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.679
to because I'm loving tonight I'm playing
this night right aways. Soon as we're

549
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.599
done here, I'm playing this.
Look at you did the grub. Oh

550
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.960
my god, I said, my
my keywords. I'm like into the breach.

551
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.920
Seriously, I think about it every
day. I was like shocked when

552
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:50.639
I started playing, Like, I
did a couple of runs and I was

553
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:52.840
like immediately hooked. I was like, no one's talking about this, Like,

554
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:54.119
I think I heard about it on
the I think min Max was talking

555
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:57.719
about it came out in November.
Yes, yeah, yes, it's been

556
00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:59.480
out for a bit, but you
know, I think someone did mention this

557
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.280
on the game of your podcast for
mid Max. They like I got a

558
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.920
shout out. I think Cobalt.
Okay, yeah, that might be where

559
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.079
she shared it. Yeah, okay, very cool. Cool? What else

560
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:13.000
dan? Uh? Do Maternal?
Uh? You know, I was traveling

561
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:15.400
with the steam Deck and I was
like, you know what do Maternal is

562
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:17.639
one that I never actually beat despite
loving twenty sixteen, and I was like,

563
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:20.679
I wonder if it works well on
the Steam Deck. It turns out

564
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:23.800
it runs fucking great on the sacks. Those games are so well optimized,

565
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:28.760
those Doom games. It looks like
incredible, It's so it's so awesome.

566
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:30.920
Yes, yeah, how'd you find
it? I'm liking it a lot more

567
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.880
now. I think I just got
overwhelmed when it first came out, because

568
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.360
it's like every two seconds, I
feel like I was like, here's this

569
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.639
new system, here is this new
upgrade screen, here's this like it was

570
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:44.280
like bombarding me with a bunch of
stuff, and I think I just got

571
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:46.119
kind of overwhelmed or something else came
out. So I only played a couple

572
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:49.800
levels of it back then, and
uh yeah, I just you know,

573
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.280
said I'm going to take the time
and learn how all these systems work and

574
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:57.199
everything. And there I don't think
it's perfect, Like it has great platforming

575
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.239
for a first person shooter. It
feels really great moving around, like but

576
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.280
specifically in combat, I think it
feels great moving around. There are some

577
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:08.039
like larger traversal sections that I think
the kind of the sign posting and knowing

578
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:13.400
where to go and everything, it's
a little messy and uh so, but

579
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.360
the combat, like when you get
to an arena where it's like on the

580
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.000
map and it's red and you know, like, all right, this is

581
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:21.119
gonna be a room where I'm just
gonna fuck up enemies for like fifteen minutes

582
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:23.239
like that's where it really shines,
and I'm fucking loving it for that.

583
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:29.480
Did you like June twenty sixteen Dan
loved it, loved it? Okay,

584
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:35.039
and how far are you in Eternal? I would say four to five hours

585
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.119
maybe, okay, So do you
have the grappling hook or yeah, ohh

586
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.000
okay, okay, yeah, I've
I haven't played since came out, so

587
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:44.599
forget how early on you get.
But well, once you really get in

588
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.320
the flow of using the grapple hook
for like everything, that game just feels

589
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:52.000
freaking amazing. See I'm barely using
it actually because I got it. It's

590
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.039
tied to the super Shotgun, and
like I love the standard shotgun because the

591
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:58.280
alt fire on that is the grenade
launcher, and so like I usually go

592
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:00.320
to that because it fire is quicker
and has the grenade. But I haven't

593
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.000
really needed to use the grappling hook
much. It is the gimmick with that

594
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.519
that like you hook onto an enemy
and then shoot them as you get closed

595
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:08.360
because it doesn't like auto shoot when
you okay, I just got to got

596
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:13.480
to get the swing or you're like
you'll you'll glory kill them from like meleeing

597
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.599
them. Once in the Glory Killer
like you do shot Melee Glory Kill,

598
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:19.920
I think, is how I remember
doing it. But once you get into

599
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.960
that kind of flow with it,
it works really well. It just it

600
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:27.199
kind of I think once you get
into the hang of using it as fixing

601
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.800
the problem of June twenty sixteen of
closing in gaps, and you just use

602
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:36.199
it specifically get from a group A
over to group B. You mess them

603
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.239
up in close range and then you
you know, rinse and repeat to get

604
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.599
through all the different waves. It
sends your way. I think once you

605
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:45.400
get into that flow, it's very
satisfying. Okay, yeah, I'm kind

606
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.119
of torn on. Like I've been
doing it both on the Steam deck,

607
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:52.000
on controller on my TV, and
on PC. And I know that you

608
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:54.079
know it's Doom. You know it's
obviously PC is in the DNA, so

609
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:57.960
I've seen when you say PC,
your you mean mouse and keyboard and keyboard.

610
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:00.639
Yeah, yeah, sorry, And
like the aiming is much better,

611
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.360
but I find that in the heat
of combat, there is just so much

612
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.679
stuff in that game and I'm trying
to like, wait, which button was

613
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:08.360
the plane thrower, which one was
the which one was? So like,

614
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:12.719
I do think it just kind of
translates to controller a little better, which

615
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:15.440
might be here see to you know, people you know play it on PZ

616
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.000
or keyboard and mouse. Are you
using a Splatoon style like motion controls on

617
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:22.679
your steam deck because it can do
that. I've never tried that. Ye

618
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:27.559
are like a serious person or are
you just saying that I don't. I

619
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.360
don't like it so much backler,
But I know Dan does. He likes

620
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:31.840
it in Splatoon, right, you
use the most controls. Oh yeah,

621
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:36.320
no, it's critical for a slatoon
and people people do love it. They

622
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.920
always swear by it. Yes,
they swear by it. That good once

623
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:43.320
you get used to it closes the
gap between mouse and keyboard and controller.

624
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:49.159
It actually does, all right,
I'm that sounds adorable. I just I

625
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.840
just like to me not playing like
a you know. I remember loading Doom

626
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.559
up on my Steam deck being like, wow, this game looks great.

627
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.199
Oh I'm not control I I just
controlling it. There's something different. I

628
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:05.760
don't. I already don't enjoy joy
game paths for FPS is and like,

629
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:09.239
I don't know, I wonder you
don call duty with the mouse and keyboard

630
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.440
back on? Yeah? No,
no, I switch back and forth.

631
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:17.239
But we call est controller. Yeah, grub, you're good at doing fucked

632
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:21.400
up things the video games. Is
there a way? Is there any way

633
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:27.000
I could play Doom Eternal with the
wemote and unchuck Absolutely absolutely good. Yes,

634
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:31.280
very You'd probably have to do some
like configuration, but I bet there's

635
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.800
some like stuff on the Steam community
for weird stuff like that that could like

636
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:37.840
get you started, and then you
probably have to dial in a few of

637
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:43.599
the things yourself. I know how
stupid program where you can translate a wee

638
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.159
pointer to just the mouse mouse.
We can very easily make this happen.

639
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:53.599
Oh, that's very dumb, just
because doesn't mean we should with like the

640
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:58.119
most laggy like pointer. Maybe we
could make a upf like that where it's

641
00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:00.880
like just messed up ways to play
video game. I just play everything with

642
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:05.440
the bresident evil chainsaw, and I
got my USB D d R pad right

643
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.920
behind me. We can do some
stuff with that. Yeah, oh nice.

644
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:13.039
Cursed with a Steam deck with the
tilt controls, you can set it

645
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:15.880
so that the tilt will only activate
if you rest your thumb on the right

646
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:20.119
stick because it has a touch on
there, so it knows when you're touching

647
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:22.800
it, So you just rest it
on there and that's when it will move,

648
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:23.920
and then the rest of the time
you can just like keep your thumb

649
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:28.599
off there and then it won't be
like juttering around as you're moving the steam

650
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.880
deck. So there's some really smart
stuff on there. I would be interested

651
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:35.800
if you would try that and see
like what it was like. Yeah,

652
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:37.079
yeah, I mean, is that
in the doom settings that I could change

653
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:43.960
the gyro? What is a euro? One of them to say I always

654
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.840
forget this so far you've said nothing
that is correct. Yeah, who's gyro?

655
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.639
I don't know. I don't know
the gyroscope or gyroscope or eu.

656
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:53.760
What do you think it is?
What do you think it's gyro? What

657
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:58.079
do you gyro? Said? You
said it was gyra, It's gyroscope,

658
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:01.840
gyro, gyro? Joining think giant
mom gyro. Okay, still I obviously

659
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:07.760
forgot that, so okay Gyro.
But you want the sandwich guy. Some

660
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:14.480
people say yuro yero Okay, but
then there's gyro. Gyro is the right

661
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:19.440
one, aren't you like mister Oh
no, you're spelling pronunciation. Yes.

662
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.880
Yeah. With the steam deck,
you hit the steam button and then just

663
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:25.760
keep pressing right, it'll take you
controller configurations over then, yeah, just

664
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.719
use the community one because there's going
to be a community one for maternal emotion

665
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:34.599
control. Okay, this this is
the I can't let this one go.

666
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:37.800
Dan, What do you call that
game on the ne e s where Rob

667
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.280
raises and lowers red and blue pillars? What do you call it? I

668
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:44.440
don't think I've ever said it out
loud, but I would guess gyromite,

669
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:50.000
gyromite, gyromite, gyromite. It's
gromite, seems right right? No,

670
00:41:50.400 --> 00:42:02.719
definitely not Dan, You're you're just
hero mighte zero control. Okay, can

671
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:13.840
we should be Guyromite is jobber in
w C W. Jen, if you're

672
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:16.320
listening, can we get giant bomb
dot com with a Y please? Thank

673
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:24.159
you? That's going to confuse me
more guyant bomb that. I'm sorry,

674
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:27.639
that's just maybe a little dizzy.
I was thinking about sitting down from saying

675
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:30.920
I had a couple other things real
quick. My kids, uh, mostly

676
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:34.920
Addy, the four year old is
just every three D Mario game. She

677
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.440
bounces between him in place like half
an hour, then plays the other one,

678
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:40.400
then play was playing all of them? Three D All Stars is a

679
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:45.039
bit yes, and then she'll go
to Odyssey and then it just so and

680
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:46.440
every ten minutes she needs help with
something. So I've been playing a lot

681
00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:50.920
of three D Mario basically, and
I do have like, like, man,

682
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.280
I should go back and play Replace
Sunshine. It's probably time I was

683
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:59.400
getting used to like, uh,
the inverted left and right camera where I'm

684
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:01.360
like, I remember at a time
when this made perfect sense to me.

685
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:05.000
This was like, of course,
this is how a game is supposed to

686
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.039
control. So the idea of getting
used to that again and playing the whole

687
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:09.480
game, I'm like, I kind
of want to see what that's like again.

688
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:14.679
And then I played Against the Storm, which is a Rogue Light city

689
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:17.559
builder. I am on my first
run, so I'll probably talk about it

690
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.360
more next week. I'll just say
it feels really good. It just has

691
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.400
really satisfying sort of when you click
things into place. It just has a

692
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:30.400
lot of good feedback. But I
haven't experienced to any of the Rogue Light

693
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:32.599
stuff yet, so I'm just saying
the people that recommended it they were right,

694
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:35.519
because it does have a lot of
good stuff going for it. I

695
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:37.599
actually need to see more of it, so I'll talk about it next week.

696
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:43.480
All right, very good? What
else? Friends. So I mentioned

697
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:45.239
that I was mess around with the
steam deck over the break and I was

698
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:49.360
getting a bunch of stuff running.
The one thing that I really want to

699
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:52.480
do just because I don't know this
is like almost like a blind spot for

700
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:57.480
me in recent times that I wanted
to revisit because I checked out a bunch

701
00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:00.639
as a kid, is actually the
Ridge Racer series. One was talking about

702
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.039
Ridge Racer. You know, Mike
won't shut up about Type four. I

703
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.559
got John Linneman talking about Ridge Racer
seven, a bunch of our people talking

704
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:09.760
about five. Like everyone was talking
about Ridge Racer in the retro community for

705
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:14.039
whatever reason. So I decided to
fire a bunch of those up and I

706
00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:16.800
sort of just went through them to
a couple of races with each and man,

707
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:22.599
the one that really stuck with me
was Ridge Racer seven is actually really

708
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:24.960
cool. I feel like people sound
like a Vita one. Which one is

709
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:30.239
this? No, so Ridge Racer
seven. I'm definitely not stalling here because

710
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:35.800
I want to get this right.
I believe it was. I think it

711
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:39.239
was launched. Yeah, it should
have been launch for the PlayStation three,

712
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:46.320
right, Yes, this is this
is the Ridge Racer or that that was

713
00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:57.719
because he held up well that he
was sorry, sorry three game with the

714
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.920
beat with PSP. Yeah yeah,
but anyways, Ridge Race for seven is

715
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:07.199
still actually super impressive because guys,
that was ten eighty P sixty fps as

716
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.159
a PS three launch game. Well
the processor, I mean, oh of

717
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.800
course, yeah, come on,
no, it's like from this weird alternate

718
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:20.480
reality where instead of doubling down on
all these different like processing effects and trying

719
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:22.400
to like push graphics as far as
possible, what if we just had the

720
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.519
games looked not necessarily PS two like, But what we had them looked like

721
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:32.559
an og Xbox game but on newer
hardware, and it looks so clean as

722
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:37.280
a result. Nowadays, I was
playing it on the Steam Deck. Emulation

723
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.239
isn't perfect of that post run sixty
fps, and like man, I was

724
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:43.760
just say so smooth, and I
was having a ton of fun with That's

725
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.119
also where I believe it was the
first one where they introduced they actually introduced

726
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:50.599
nitrous to the series, so you
could just straight up like boost like in

727
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:54.800
Kneed for Speed and whatnot. It
was super fun talking about Xbox games running

728
00:45:54.840 --> 00:46:00.119
really well, the actual like Xbox
backwards compatibility stuff. Some games I I

729
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.159
played through Max Pain one and two
for the first time a couple of years

730
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:05.639
ago, and god damn if you
like on the series X, it just

731
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:07.639
makes it run so so well.
Yeah, so yeah, it's really good

732
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:12.159
for that. Yeah, definitely,
absolutely, And then Ridge Racer. The

733
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.239
thing with those games always was that
the power sliding felt better than just about

734
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:19.000
any other game that wasn't you know, Mario Kart has really good powerful Yeah,

735
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:21.239
it took me a second to get
used to it because I am so

736
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:23.280
used to it in Mario Kart.
Mario Kart. But once you get used

737
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:25.599
to it and you're not like spinning
out because you got you gotta you know,

738
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.480
gently steer into it, especially because
the first few were like you know,

739
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:32.280
digital only, they didn't have a
lot of controls, right, so

740
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:36.519
you have to sort of get used
to that mentality. But I think,

741
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.079
especially once I got analogue on seven
or anything like that, it just it

742
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:44.079
felt really good to control. So
I see why Mike won't shut up about

743
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:45.840
the series, I guess, is
what I'm saying. Do you think it

744
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.239
could come back? Right? They
could do a new Red Racer today?

745
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:52.559
Yeah, And I think, I
mean it probably wouldn't be necessarily a two

746
00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:54.280
million seller, but they could probably
do a lot of I think you could,

747
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:58.599
honestly, if you like, maybe
marketing right and everything, because there's

748
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:05.760
really nothing else doing that style of
arcady mixed with sim racing. Right.

749
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:09.280
We got we got the arcade Racers
back recently with the Hot Wheels one and

750
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:15.559
the Cruising Blast. Yeah, what's
that Fortnite stuff? You know that's arcade

751
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:17.800
racing? Yeah, yeah, exactly, and so but like this, you're

752
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.440
right, this specific version of Okay, it's gonna be real cars and it's

753
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.079
going to present itself like a real
racing game, but it's still an arcade

754
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:27.519
racer. We haven't had a lot
of that. That's what all the games

755
00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:30.360
trying to fill a niche are doing, you're right, is cartoony, over

756
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:35.000
the top stuff almost trying to take
from Mario Kart and not the old school

757
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:37.960
arcade racer like Daytona like they should
be. So I think there is that

758
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:42.719
niche that could be filled in.
I mean, Ridge Racer became a show

759
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:45.920
piece for new systems because what five, six, and seven were all I

760
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.719
think they were all I'm not sure
about six launch games on their respective systems

761
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:52.719
PS two three sixty PS three,
So I think if they want to,

762
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:58.079
they could bring it back and just
have it be that incredible combination of the

763
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:00.440
real cars and our thing, but
with a more or loose arkadie feel right

764
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:04.760
and stand apart from something like need
for speed, which they need to speeds,

765
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:07.199
like, hey, we're going to
be open world, and how do

766
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.119
you like do all this other stuff
and just do make a lot of different

767
00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:13.280
decisions than that you could set yourself
apart. We had that brief moment on

768
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.000
the three six zero where a split
second and Blur came out around the same

769
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:20.480
time, and it was like I
was like, yeah, yeah, just

770
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:24.920
stop making those games against probably because
of those games. Yeah, m okay,

771
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:30.039
and is this one more you have
here? Sean, Yeah, this

772
00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:32.079
is the other half of what I
was doing over a break is I was

773
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:35.519
just playing a lot of buying games
with my friends because we actually had the

774
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.480
time to sit down and you'll play
some more three Fighters six We checked out

775
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:43.960
the new version of Grand Blue Fantasy
Versus, but the one that stuck with

776
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:47.239
us was actually this was the first
game that Epic gave away as part of

777
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:52.360
their deals, So it's very cool
to get this for free because we've been

778
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.639
waiting for a sale one, but
d NF duel. It's based on this

779
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:01.880
long running MMO ish kind of game
from back in the day that is still

780
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:07.400
going, I believe called Dungeon Fighter
Online. Uh, and it's super popular

781
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:12.800
overseas less over here obviously, but
man, this game it's made by Aiding,

782
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:15.760
and that's the company that's made games
you're familiar with and games you are

783
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:20.599
definitely not. So they made like
the Naruto Clash of Ninja games on the

784
00:49:20.639 --> 00:49:22.000
GameCube, which you might have seen
back in the day, but they also

785
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:27.039
made like Marvel versus Capcom three,
so like they have a really good degree

786
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:30.320
of just making games today. Yeah, you press buns and you of it

787
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:35.000
feels good. And so we've just
went in expecting, you know whatever,

788
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:37.320
we'll try us out for an evening, and it really stuck with us because

789
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:42.480
it just feels great to control.
It feels kind of like Marvel three but

790
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:46.440
one v one's and so that's just
is so much fun to just figure out

791
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:52.800
your combos and it just feels good
when because a lot of fighting games this

792
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:54.480
is my problem, well i'm modern
fighting games. Street Fire six a little

793
00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:59.760
bit better about this, and Moral
Kombat one as well, but fighting games

794
00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:02.880
not allowing you to just do combos
that make sense, Like the dudes ran

795
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:06.840
from me, I should be able
to like punch them, but just the

796
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:08.199
system mechanics will make you like,
well, no, he's gonna spin out

797
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:12.039
after this, or this is gonna
whiff because of this, that or the

798
00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.320
other. And then d NF do
is just like screw all that. We'll

799
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:16.440
let you do whatever the hell you
want. You got the meter, Yeah,

800
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:20.480
you're dealing eighty percent. We don't
give a shit. And man,

801
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:22.719
that just makes you get a couple
of beers with the boys. That just

802
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:24.679
makes her a real good night.
So we're having a blast playing that for

803
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:30.159
sure. Sean's doing it the right
way. Guys, you know living what

804
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:35.119
is ARC system Works involvement here?
Like did they make previous Stench of Fighters

805
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:37.239
or did they work on this one? No, it's a huge collaboration between

806
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:42.480
collaboration next On and Neopol. Let
me see, I'm trying to wh Yeah,

807
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:45.480
next On Neopol are like the rights
holders a Dundon Fighter. Arxists provided

808
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:50.000
like basically the framework because it looks
like an ARC system Works the game if

809
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.800
you look it up. And then
eighting is like aiding is a work for

810
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:58.199
hire teams, so they made the
actual game like underneath all that. But

811
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:01.679
why do I recognize eiding What did
they work on that? I've pie you

812
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:07.079
might have seen them in the news
because they are working on the upcoming Hunter

813
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:08.960
Hunter fighting game and a lot of
people are talking about that, like Tam

814
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:13.480
was swinging about that stuff. You
know what they developed. They've developed twenty

815
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:15.559
twenty three's game of the Year,
Pigment four. Pigman four. Yeah.

816
00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:21.119
Yeah, they worked on that with
EPD or whoever. Yeah, man,

817
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:22.760
that rules. Okay, cool,
wow, man, I'll check this out

818
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:29.880
just for that good team. Hi
gays, Very good man. I didn't

819
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:30.920
think there's gonna be a much gaming
over the break, but there was.

820
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:35.960
There's all that games around here.
Who I thought, Yeah, you know,

821
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:39.960
all right, Well, very good. Everyone sounds like you enjoyed your

822
00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:44.000
gaming. I hope everyone enjoyed the
first segment. Here. We're going to

823
00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:47.320
take a quick break and when we
get back, we're going to dive into

824
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:52.920
all the game news that's fit to
discuss on the Giant BombCast. Stick around,

825
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:58.679
We'll be right back. Welcome back
to the Giant BombCast. Kevin mccowister

826
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:06.199
as a ghost. I really,
uh, I really have a good time

827
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:08.840
with you guys. I want you
to know that, oh like a dying

828
00:52:09.559 --> 00:52:16.679
I'm dying. No, I'm not
sure if it Wait what look it makes

829
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:21.679
you think? Sean? Does it
not good? I love how the first

830
00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:25.079
conspiracy theory out of conspiracy theory back
lart is the same one that Pokemon fans

831
00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:29.119
have been talking about for years with
the anime What if Ash just died to

832
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:31.719
that lightning bolt in the first episode? The whole twenty years that was all

833
00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:37.840
hallucination? Yeah, but like my
theory holds water though. You're right,

834
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:42.679
what was I thinking? I mean, come on it sound it sounds like

835
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.679
it's airtight logic. Yeah, you
couldn't see his bedroom? What else?

836
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:52.840
I'm sorry you're you're in your own
home and it doesn't occur to you,

837
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:57.239
like I don't have a bed where? What have I been doing for these

838
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.079
years? I'm looking up the Lego
Home Alone set because then you get a

839
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:06.639
full, right, canonical answer to
this question. Right, They're pretty accurate.

840
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:10.199
I also one, let's see,
well the side for the one is

841
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:14.639
the set? Do they do they
get to like the house? About all

842
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:19.280
the bedrooms? That's bathroom? You
do you see Jerry's bedroom Sometimes that's there.

843
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:23.360
That's true, it's rare. Yeah, Okay, there's the Michael Jordan

844
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:27.639
thing in the in the living room, there's the kitchen. Is there no

845
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:31.280
bedroom in this lego house? I
told you, I told you turn the

846
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:38.519
lake, you turn the lego thing
upside down? Graveyard right, this room

847
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:43.119
with the little Nero's pizza and the
angels with filthy wings on the TV.

848
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:45.480
Is that it? That's the that's
like they're that's like their sitting rooms in

849
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:50.519
the library. Wait a second,
he's he's like the kid nobody likes.

850
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:52.719
Isn't there a chance that he just
has a bed with one of the other

851
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:55.639
kids, like like a butcher where
the hell's name is buzz Yeah, butch

852
00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:01.480
Buzz. No, he's definitely not
allowed, not allowing busses room. I'm

853
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:07.519
just saying facts are facts, and
they certainly lead you to believe that Kevin

854
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.880
is no longer with us, and
it was never with us to begin with.

855
00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:16.800
Speaking of a man of facts,
Jeff Grubb is here to lead us

856
00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:21.840
down fact avenue in the world of
video games. Take it away, mister

857
00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:27.920
Grubb. All right, news,
all right, got some news for you.

858
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:30.360
Everybody. You know, it was
the holidays, not a ton happened.

859
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:32.400
But there's some things we can discuss. Definitely a few little interesting tidbits,

860
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:36.199
especially happening on the Nintendo's Sign of
Things, but we'll get to that.

861
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:42.880
After Mickey Mouse has entered the public
domain, everybody finally cares because everyone's

862
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:46.559
like, what a terrible fucking ip
that I don't need to use about Mickey

863
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:53.039
Mouse here? Yeah, uh,
there's a video game called Infestation eighty eight

864
00:54:53.159 --> 00:55:00.280
that was ready and rare in to
go. Is the hell it's yeah,

865
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:04.480
so it's Mickey Mouse basically as a
fanaffe character. It's a five night at

866
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:08.920
five Nights at Freddy's alike, and
you're gonna get hunted down by a decrepit,

867
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:14.639
dilapidated Mickey Mouse. Basically, he
looks like he's been left out to

868
00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:16.960
rot, and he has the Steamboat
Willy hat and everything, so that they're

869
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:21.079
right on, Like, Okay,
we can definitely use Mickey Mouse as long

870
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.159
as we're referring to the Steamboat Willie
version. Now, Steamboat Willy does take

871
00:55:24.199 --> 00:55:27.079
off his hat, so if you
want to make a Mickey Mouse without the

872
00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:30.840
hat on, you can. But
yeah, this is probably gonna happen quite

873
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:34.239
a bit this year. Would your
kids recognize Mickey Mouse? Like in a

874
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:38.000
police lineup? You always do this? Do you always? I'm genuinely curious.

875
00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:40.719
Is it no grub? I don't
know. It's tough. It's tough

876
00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:45.280
to say. Yeah. I mean, oh, it's gonna be so good.

877
00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:52.320
Where do you go? I can't
wait for the public So here's the

878
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:59.280
deal. A lot of these fuckers. What they won't tell you, right,

879
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:01.239
is that they're saying. They're saying
that Mickey Mouse is in the public

880
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:06.480
domain. Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse's
Mickey Mouse side. It's not is Steamboat

881
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:08.920
Willie, who is a better character
than Mickey Mouse. Because all Steamboat Willy

882
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:14.440
likes to do is heart animals.
That's his fucking goal. If you watch,

883
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:16.119
if you wash the short, all
he does is he drives a boat,

884
00:56:16.360 --> 00:56:19.920
he gets off the boat, and
then what he does is that he

885
00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:28.320
torments animals that he doesn't like for
real, Yes, Like, all he

886
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.239
does is he pulls dog's tails,
he hits other animals. It's fucking sick.

887
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:38.719
Watch Steamboat Willy. There's a lot
of I feel like there is evidence

888
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:44.039
that Steamboat Willy had a narrative and
was an actual like show or short film

889
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:46.679
or something. The modern day Mickey
Mouse, which is still under copyright.

890
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:51.119
It's just a fucking logo right outside
of Pantasia where he doesn't even talk.

891
00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:52.960
No, no, he's just a
little bit. He has a he has

892
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:58.639
a news show on Disney Plus that's
actually pretty good. The shorts. Okay,

893
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:12.920
you can't kick me, Mike,
Mike? Is that? Who really

894
00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:15.079
wants this? It's some people are
just gonna make Micky Mouse now, and

895
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:16.719
it's like, I don't know,
I kind of want it. This is

896
00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:21.119
fun, this, this be interesting. So it is. It is Steamboat

897
00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:24.519
Willie. But Steamboat Willie is Steamboat
Willie starring Mickey Mouse. So both are

898
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:28.400
in the public domain. Now,
you just you wouldn't be able to use

899
00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:32.199
the color scheme that he got later
on, right after they established character later

900
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:37.960
on, at least not without risking
some problems with Disney. I think it's

901
00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:42.400
like the Steamboat Willie depiction of Mickey
Mouse. Would your kids recognize that grub

902
00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:45.679
Absolutely not? Well, I mean
they would, they would be able to

903
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:47.599
put it together. They would know, you're like, okay, yeah,

904
00:57:47.599 --> 00:57:51.519
that's Mickey Mouse. Yes, but
they wouldn't be like, Yeah, if

905
00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:52.480
I just said, hey, you
guys want to watch steam Boat Willie,

906
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:58.320
what are you talking about? What
about? Did? Uh? Did would

907
00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:01.599
be like is that old Mickey Mouse? That's what did Okay? He'd be

908
00:58:01.679 --> 00:58:05.519
like, oh, what is up
with like old man Mickey Mouse looking all

909
00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:08.440
black and white and pointless? Okay? Okay? You know Dan always brings

910
00:58:08.559 --> 00:58:13.480
us Mickey Mouse versus Sonic Grob.
I want to ask you, do you

911
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:19.079
think your kids are more familiar with
Mickey Mouse or Pikachu. Oh, it's

912
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:24.239
Pikachu for me. Pokemon like frost
kids around the world, which Mike has

913
00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:29.400
tried to argue against me about.
He's like, no, no, Mickey

914
00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:30.920
Mouse, moren Pikachu? What them? Oh? Dan didn't like that one.

915
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:39.719
Okay, God, Mike just moved
him this power right, yes,

916
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:46.559
yes, I almost permanently. I
love that. This is the day we

917
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:51.679
decided to record locally. Yeah,
great, this is going very do you

918
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:55.400
kicked me out to let men in? He got in and then he shouldn't

919
00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:59.719
be able to do that, right, How do we fix that? That's

920
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:02.320
that's a friend of the site air. We got to fix that h violation?

921
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:07.199
Okay, Okay, I don't know, all right, So I mean

922
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:09.760
Mickey Mouse public domain. You guys
gonna start making your Mickey Mouse artworks.

923
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:16.840
Now what do I need Mickey for? Quite quite frankly, friends, this

924
00:59:17.320 --> 00:59:22.000
story is only good for a headline, and that's basically different too. Yeah,

925
00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:25.400
I mean, okay, So,
like Charlotte, Sherlock Holmes is mostly

926
00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:29.199
in the public domain, and we've
gotten tons of great Scholock home stuff.

927
00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:30.960
I don't think the same thing is
necessarily going to happen with Nicky. Well,

928
00:59:31.199 --> 00:59:36.800
well, how long has Sherlock Holmes
been in the public domain for like

929
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:39.840
twenty years? Now? Hang out
Robert Downey Junior movies. Did they not

930
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:45.320
have to like pay the Holmes family
or hang out? Because Grubb remember in

931
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:50.239
uh what you McAll Dasa Turney games, we've got Herlock Shulms. Because that's

932
00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:53.760
still an issue. So okay,
it depends on how you present the character

933
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:59.159
always like because because yeah, because
some of the the listen, this isn't

934
00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:04.760
for very litigious uh like families that
still have some of the rights. I

935
01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:07.840
think with like Sherlock Holmes, like, you can't make a nice Sherlock Holmes

936
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:13.639
because a nice Sherlock Holmes didn't appear
in the books until many years later,

937
01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:17.719
which and those books are still under
copyright. The nice variant of Sherlock Holmes

938
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:22.400
Sherlock Holmes that isn't a complete dick? Like, yes, part of his

939
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:24.679
characters that he's a dick. Oh, yes, definitely. Really he's like

940
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:28.159
a know it all for sure.
Yeah, he's a complete a he's a

941
01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.679
complete asshole. Yes, Like that's
like the whole point is, like he's

942
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:32.639
the smartest guy in the world and
he's a dick yet. Yeah, this

943
01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:37.440
is the weird thoughts And like his
business. What's weird about public domain characters

944
01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:40.719
is you can't use someone else's depiction
of it. So it's like, you

945
01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:45.239
know, you can't just take Disney's
Cinderella and use that as you're a Cinderella.

946
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:47.920
You'd have to go up with a
different Cinderella, you know that's right,

947
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:52.679
Make my own Disney World and put
cool rides in it and use Teamboat

948
01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:59.199
Willie for that. Yes, yep, you could Disney now because Disney's trademarked

949
01:00:59.559 --> 01:01:02.320
and call it Mickey Mouse World,
and you couldn't put like the mouse ears

950
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:08.400
that they use as their trademark.
You can't use that because that's face,

951
01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:12.599
but you could use this whole face. Yes, so I can make a

952
01:01:12.679 --> 01:01:16.800
cool version of Disney World. They
would. I don't know who that was,

953
01:01:16.920 --> 01:01:22.119
but yeah, it was fun.
It's still look look look I when

954
01:01:22.159 --> 01:01:23.679
I was at Disneyland, I was
like, Okay, I get like this

955
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:28.079
is very well done, like everything
is. I get it, but it's

956
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:31.599
still a lame version of an amusement
park. Like you watch, there's no

957
01:01:31.719 --> 01:01:35.639
new video rides there. Did you
watch our video of like all the rest

958
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:37.239
of the of the stuff, the
Disney Travel stuff was pretty fun. We

959
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:42.559
were having a good time there,
matime. There you say, like many

960
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:45.280
times, you're like this is pretty
good. I'm okay here, I'm happy

961
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:47.119
here. It's not a bad time. I never said that. I'm just

962
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:51.039
saying, like, you show me
one where I'm walking around Mickey mouse Land

963
01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:53.159
and one where I'm going on cool
fucking roller coasters and stuff. There's a

964
01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:58.679
winner every time. You know me
themes I want the thrill rides. I

965
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:01.239
did Smike if he wanted to be
on this episode, and he said no,

966
01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:06.840
Yeah, seems like he's real busy. We're just honoring his wishes.

967
01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:09.039
When we kick it out. Your
hats all do you like, are you

968
01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:13.760
like you're still a roller coaster person, like crazy roller coaster, any thrill

969
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:17.000
ride, skydiving, any just like
just super adrenaline anything where it's like your

970
01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:21.079
body is like, oh my god, I'm dying, but then you know

971
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:22.719
you're safe, so you get all
the adrenaline everything, but none of the

972
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:25.880
danger. Like that's great, you
know. I don't know if I like

973
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.440
I still like the idea of roller
coasters. I don't like the idea of

974
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:31.880
like waiting in line for him anymore. And I don't know that should get

975
01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:35.920
the past past. Yeah, yeah, juice isn't necessarily worth the squeeze.

976
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:39.000
I'm like, I would probably probably
prefer like actually like skydiving or something compared

977
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:44.360
to like going on you've ever gone, I have never gone? You should

978
01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:45.400
What you should do is you should
just set it up when we're on a

979
01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:52.920
trip sometime just take me without telling
me, and and then that's probably I

980
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:53.840
would do it. I would still
do it, but I would like I

981
01:02:54.400 --> 01:02:57.760
like the idea of it. Suddenly
I'm like, wait, I'm skydiving in

982
01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:00.639
ten minutes, so you could like
that, can I like ack you out

983
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:02.000
or something? And then you wake
up and we're ready to go out out

984
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:07.360
of the plane, Like, can
you be a safe place you go to

985
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:09.719
bed if you go to bed at
my place. Let's say we were up

986
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:14.039
drinking and watching Grandlins and you pass
out and I am able to get you

987
01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:20.239
onto a plane and strap to a
tandem. Guy, you can't up.

988
01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:22.920
You can't push you out, you
cannot wekend up Bernie skydiving. I'm drawing

989
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:25.960
the line right. I'm asking if
he says yes, I think legally,

990
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:30.000
I'm good. No, You're not. Give you a BRITTIONI if there is

991
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:36.599
another adult there that I implicitly trust
stopping you from doing all the other things

992
01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:38.920
that would happen to me if I
was asleep around you and everyone listening to

993
01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:45.280
this podcast, this is exactly how
this guy's brain works. It's just no

994
01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:50.400
like planning or thought about any logistical
priority. It works most of the time.

995
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:53.480
Do you imagine that works? It
doesn't work, You're not going into

996
01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:58.360
the train and works like grub nose
grub. Yeah, I could see this

997
01:03:58.480 --> 01:04:01.519
planet training tandem. Look, I've
done both. I've done by myself five

998
01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:04.639
times. I've done tandem two or
three times. Tandem. You could pass

999
01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:09.480
out. Shit your parts and land
safe. Why did you go with nothing

1000
01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:13.000
from you, the safety instructor,
just being like, and what's the deal

1001
01:04:13.039 --> 01:04:18.440
with this guy? Like? Okay, that works lesly, We're in the

1002
01:04:18.519 --> 01:04:24.159
clear. Yeah, that passes the
sniff test me exactly. All right,

1003
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:27.920
let's get on with the news here. Developers and Japan are talking about their

1004
01:04:27.960 --> 01:04:30.079
excitement for twenty twenty four. They
did a bunch of like quotes for four

1005
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:34.000
gamer in Japan, and many of
these developers mentioned new hardware. Some of

1006
01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:39.800
them specifically said we're excited about Nintendo
hardware. A Capcom producer said twenty twenty

1007
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:44.800
four will bring new consoles and more
endie titles to look forward to. Ache

1008
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:47.800
Techno producer said Nintendo's new platform has
been the focus of much attention, and

1009
01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:51.599
another Coe Techno producer said, we
look forward to seeing what new gaming platforms

1010
01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:56.719
and their titles will bring to the
table. So at this point's getting a

1011
01:04:56.760 --> 01:05:00.599
point where it's probably an open secret, or at least these developers are assuming

1012
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:04.599
that Nintendo will have something new in
twenty twenty four explicit though, But it

1013
01:05:04.639 --> 01:05:09.679
does it does? I mean listen, Coe Techno works with Nintendo very closely.

1014
01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:14.639
Capcom works with Nintendo pretty closely and
have done you know, both of

1015
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:16.880
both of these companies have done work
for higher work from Nintendo in the past,

1016
01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:20.280
very likely could do it again.
Capcom's maybe a little bit busy these

1017
01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:27.280
days. But the point is that
these companies would probably have development kits for

1018
01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:30.239
a long time now at this point
if the thing is coming out next year.

1019
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:33.079
So yeah, I think this is
probably backed up by them being excited

1020
01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:36.159
for a reason, and yeah,
we can expect to see it now,

1021
01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:40.840
does anyone at this point in January
twenty twenty four, I think we get

1022
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:43.400
this any time before the holidays,
because it feels like the holidays is when

1023
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:48.280
this things. I think, yeah, November, Yeah, I think maybe

1024
01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:53.119
in the in the spring, right, yeah, yep, and then like

1025
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:56.119
a big blowout September, even though
it might be a little early with how

1026
01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:58.880
Nintendo's doing this, they might be
like, you know, they might have

1027
01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:00.760
the ANNOUNCEMA, the announcement pid it
back and day like yeah, we're working,

1028
01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:02.880
we're working on sign We'll let you
know a few months, and then

1029
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:05.920
like in summer they're like, yeah, well launches in four or five months,

1030
01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:12.239
Yeah, Metroid Prime four launch game. Like I'm still I still believe,

1031
01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.199
and this is just a belief that
Metrod Prime four comes out for the

1032
01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:19.039
Switch before the Switch to Minimum.
It wants to be a game. Yeah,

1033
01:06:19.159 --> 01:06:23.639
all of a sudden one day later
now in twenty twenty four, that

1034
01:06:23.719 --> 01:06:28.559
seems like a real rough Yeah.
Well, you're right, because they haven't

1035
01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:31.800
mentioned anything about it. They made
Primary Mastered as a foundation for Prime four

1036
01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:35.519
though, so I'd imagine that they
were optimizing for Switch Harwar this whole time.

1037
01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:38.880
Yep. Yeah, yeah, and
Mike. Mike also agrees with you

1038
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:41.239
very much back of art that it's
not going to be a switch game.

1039
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:45.480
Uh, or maybe at the very
least it'll be a cross gin. All

1040
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:49.199
right, let's see your Hideo Kojima
Uh yeah, yeah. He gave of

1041
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:54.280
development development updates on dest Training two
and OD. So Destraining two the game's

1042
01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:57.800
working out with PlayStation ode, the
game he's working out with Microsoft. Uh.

1043
01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:00.440
Basically said Destraining two is still in
development and will likely be released in

1044
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:04.840
twenty twenty five. Maybe seems like
there's some wiggle room there for late twenty

1045
01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:09.719
twenty four, but probably twenty twenty
five. OD is still in early stages

1046
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:13.039
of development and a release date is
not yet known. That seems like it's

1047
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:16.440
probably pretty far off, but he
Kajuma Production says, Kuchuman Productions has been

1048
01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:19.960
doing a pretty good job of getting
these games out relatively quickly, at least

1049
01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:24.639
with death Stranding, so maybe it
won't be that long after all. How

1050
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:29.280
you guys feeling about Kojuma these days
and these games? I thought that ODO

1051
01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:32.559
that first trailer was weird. I'm
excited to see what the next five trailers

1052
01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:35.719
will look like, but beyond that, I don't know. Yeah, that's

1053
01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:39.679
how it's always been. Trailers.
Well, He's always been the king of

1054
01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:45.400
like doing like really interesting teaser trailers
that lead to really fleshed out, long

1055
01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:47.880
dramatic trailers that are super fun,
like any no one's better at the hype

1056
01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:51.320
cycle than Kujama up for you know, twenty five years or so now.

1057
01:07:51.519 --> 01:07:56.360
So yeah, I like that.
I don't really know what OD is and

1058
01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:59.559
I look forward to weird ass desk
randing trailers. So yeah, I'm along

1059
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:01.199
for the right. This is part
of being a Kajima fan, yep,

1060
01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:04.079
exactly, and I agree that he
does it better than anyone else. I

1061
01:08:04.199 --> 01:08:08.280
was gonna ask, since Dan phrased
it that way, what's the vibe check

1062
01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:13.920
on Kojima right now, Like,
how are you feeling about the studio and

1063
01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:16.199
you know him as a director and
all these projects, how are we feeling

1064
01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:20.920
about the output there? I love
it because he's clearly just doing the weird

1065
01:08:20.960 --> 01:08:24.960
shit he wants to do and doesn't
have a lot of bullshit like Konami involvement.

1066
01:08:25.039 --> 01:08:28.760
And like, even if I don't
love everything that like Death Stranding,

1067
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.039
like the story everything is nonsense,
but I just I have to appreciate and

1068
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:34.439
love how much he just goes into
his own bullshit and like that's part of

1069
01:08:34.479 --> 01:08:40.239
what makes him fascinating. And of
course the story being nonsense means the A

1070
01:08:40.359 --> 01:08:43.640
twenty four film is moving ahead that
were working on for Death Stranding, So

1071
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:46.319
he's busy. He's got a lot
of a lot of you know, pokers

1072
01:08:46.359 --> 01:08:49.000
in the fire. However you say
that, and he's going to make something

1073
01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:55.960
happen there. Yeah, it might
be the first round of constructive criticism our

1074
01:08:56.039 --> 01:09:00.119
boy gets maybe from a movie studios, like, no, dude, this

1075
01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:04.680
has to make sense, this has
to have three acts. You have given

1076
01:09:04.760 --> 01:09:15.319
him the iron claw. Yeah,
yeah, I think I think the reason

1077
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:17.560
that, like Melgar, solid one
to me still holds up as his best

1078
01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:23.520
work is because in the localization he
had people who like told him no and

1079
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:27.000
who like even the original game told
him no, like, we're doing it

1080
01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:30.000
this way. And that's why Melgar
Solid one story holds up like the game

1081
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.920
holds up. It's a fantastic game. The mel Gear Solid too. Everything.

1082
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:36.960
Wollt the fucking window. They just
let him run three, run free

1083
01:09:38.039 --> 01:09:41.479
out. It was fascinating for it. It was interesting. I'll give him.

1084
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:45.920
I don't know, like I I
dest Stranding didn't do it for me.

1085
01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:49.199
I'm like, man, if the
first quarter of your game is intentionally

1086
01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:54.600
boring, congrats you made a boring
game. And then oh d I'm like,

1087
01:09:54.800 --> 01:09:58.760
what what is this trailer for you? This? Yeah, I have

1088
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:01.760
no idea what thing there? I
mean the trailers. Like, I'm one

1089
01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:04.880
with Dan on the trailers, like
he's gonna make weird stuff, and as

1090
01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:08.720
long as it keeps getting weirdy with
these trailers, I'll be on board because

1091
01:10:08.720 --> 01:10:11.880
I think that's part of the fun
with I like the weirdness, but I

1092
01:10:12.399 --> 01:10:16.199
would I agree totally, and I
like the death Stranding trailers more than the

1093
01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:21.840
game and like that's not great,
uh you know, but it's better than

1094
01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:26.800
not liking either. That's the true
point, h likely. Yeah, there's

1095
01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:29.720
you know, there's a lot of
star fucking going around. I just I'm

1096
01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:33.479
always just like he's the king of
that too, the leader of the free

1097
01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:40.119
Michaels of the video game industry.
When it when I watched that, there

1098
01:10:40.199 --> 01:10:42.720
was a like a clip on like
TikTok or some of these someone talking about

1099
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.760
Lorne Michael's like name dropping and he
always acts like he's pained. He's like

1100
01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:50.319
I was set with the Obamas,
my friend Paul, he was in the

1101
01:10:50.359 --> 01:10:57.880
Beatles. Yeah, heard of them, something like doctor Evil when everyone does

1102
01:10:57.880 --> 01:11:03.399
an impression of them, because that's
what Lauren directly based it on. Lauren

1103
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:08.359
idea. Really that makes much more
sense. Okay, Holy Ship, which

1104
01:11:08.479 --> 01:11:11.840
is just like good to know,
right, Yeah, it puts a lot

1105
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:15.199
of things in perspective there. Twenty
four is pissing me off lately. Also

1106
01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:19.520
with this fucking dumb ass Civil war
movie and like you shut the fuck Civilar

1107
01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:24.560
movie. People are I think are
overreacting to it. It looks I think

1108
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:28.600
it's people. I don't know.
People are like do we need to don't

1109
01:11:28.600 --> 01:11:30.600
need a movie like this? And
like I don't think we don't know.

1110
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:33.880
I don't know. I don't think
it is that movie because it's like the

1111
01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:39.520
free Western territories of Texas and California
are fighting. It's like, oh,

1112
01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:41.840
okay, they would never work together, right, this is a complete work

1113
01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:45.840
of fantasy, like it's it's it's
probably gonna called something else. I know

1114
01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:50.600
that in today's age, grub Well, I mean the movie yet, I

1115
01:11:50.600 --> 01:11:53.640
don't know, And you're right,
people are gonna take it. But people

1116
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:56.880
take that like fucking the Joker movie
that was the worst for that right,

1117
01:11:56.960 --> 01:12:00.000
where people like I have a personal
weirdness of about like, I mean,

1118
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.359
how how soon after nine to eleven
was there a nine to eleven movie?

1119
01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:11.119
It felt like the Cage one was
Cholas. I don't know. United ninety

1120
01:12:11.119 --> 01:12:15.840
three was pretty soon four years where
like the dude ended up being in the

1121
01:12:15.880 --> 01:12:17.119
Twin Towers or something that was only
like a couple of years after. I

1122
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:24.399
think we're favorite circus country. I'm
just it's just like we're such a fucking

1123
01:12:24.520 --> 01:12:27.640
joke. The guy that did a
Friday Night Lights camember his name now,

1124
01:12:27.720 --> 01:12:31.520
but him and Mark Wahlberg did the
the the what's the Big Oil Rig?

1125
01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:35.560
That caught him fire. Uh that
one, that one like a year later,

1126
01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:42.880
Yeah, in Rotten Oil rig Yes, and then they did one for

1127
01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:45.800
the Boston Marathon bomb. Yes,
steep Water Horizon, Thank you Bungus.

1128
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:46.960
Stepwater Horizon. They had a movie
like a year later, and then they

1129
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:50.319
had a movie for the Boston bombing
like a year later, and they did

1130
01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:55.560
those two would be fair. Both
those movies are excellent. They are great.

1131
01:12:55.960 --> 01:12:59.319
But it's like, man, you
guys really just got to work that

1132
01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:01.880
night and started making a movie.
It's like it's a weird reaction to a

1133
01:13:01.920 --> 01:13:06.279
tragedy and be like god an idea. Like literally the first people on the

1134
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:13.039
scene are the E M T s
and people looking to like, yeah,

1135
01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:16.960
fucking Oliver something like for a movie
for me, can't you help? We'll

1136
01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:21.119
get you a doctor, but can
you just sign this because I'd love to

1137
01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:31.800
have motherfucking Yeah, I know you're
under rubble fucking Christ. Yeah, fair

1138
01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:34.800
enough. I didn't want to see
The Iron Cli, but I did.

1139
01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:38.520
I did. How was it?
I you know, it's really good.

1140
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:41.960
It's uh, you know, I'm
sure there are superhistorians that will be like,

1141
01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:45.760
oh, this order of things or
this wasn't exactly I meant getting the

1142
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:48.520
broad strokes out to a mainstream audience
that probably does not know the story of

1143
01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:53.079
the tragedy the von Erics, it
gets the broad strokes really like. It's

1144
01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:56.520
just incredibly well made. There are
little things that are just weird to me

1145
01:13:56.600 --> 01:14:00.560
as a wrestling fan, Like I
know the Flair depiction. A lot of

1146
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:01.720
people are like, what the hell
was that, and like, yeah,

1147
01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:05.399
as a person who's seen Rick Flair
talk a lot, including that specific promo

1148
01:14:05.479 --> 01:14:09.039
that's in the movie, it's like, this is weird. This feels like

1149
01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:11.399
a yeah, the Party City,
you know, version of Rick Flayer.

1150
01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:14.960
But they weren't going for an impression, so I don't think it actually detracts

1151
01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:16.640
from the movie if you're someone who's
just going in and doesn't know the story

1152
01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:19.720
or anything. But yeah, it's
just nipicky little things. But overall,

1153
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:23.439
I thought it was a very good
movie. I can't wait to see him.

1154
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.600
All Right, some more news here. There's a flash cart coming for

1155
01:14:27.960 --> 01:14:31.560
the switch, and I did say
flash cart yep, So go ahead and

1156
01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:35.880
have your victory lap there, Turbo
Shan. The MiG switch can load up

1157
01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:41.039
games from backup files on any switch, it's claimed, so right now,

1158
01:14:41.319 --> 01:14:45.079
if you want to run backups or
legal games on your switch, you're gonna

1159
01:14:45.479 --> 01:14:48.760
mostly need that first generation of switch
before the battery upgrade, and that battery

1160
01:14:48.840 --> 01:14:54.199
upgrade almost specifically happened because of piracy
from Nintendo or that was a big part

1161
01:14:54.239 --> 01:14:58.079
of it. This this flash cart, basically they're saying you could put in

1162
01:14:58.239 --> 01:15:00.560
any switch with any firmware and you'll
be able to load up your games.

1163
01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:03.039
Now, it seems like it's like
you blow up one game at a time

1164
01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:06.000
and then you need to like reset
it and load up different games. So

1165
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:09.800
there's no like a user interface at
least as it is right now. But

1166
01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:13.880
this is a first gin version of
one of these. It'll probably improve over

1167
01:15:13.960 --> 01:15:16.079
time. The point here is,
though it's happening, and it's I think

1168
01:15:16.159 --> 01:15:20.279
pre orders go on sale soon.
Nintendo, you know, clearly getting ready

1169
01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:23.239
to move on to their next hardware. But they're not going to be happy

1170
01:15:23.239 --> 01:15:25.319
about this, although you know the
fact that they were able to keep it

1171
01:15:25.359 --> 01:15:30.800
from happening for so long is pretty
impressively. Yeahs had one like in year

1172
01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:33.279
two or three or something. Yeah, right, like Nintendo handhelds and this,

1173
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:36.840
you know it's a hand aled Sure, Nintendo handhelds almost always have a

1174
01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:41.479
flash car within the first like year
or two. So the fact that here

1175
01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:44.560
we are at the end of the
switch's life mass just now getting to it.

1176
01:15:44.800 --> 01:15:47.359
So yeah, they really did crack
down security outside that one vulnerability that

1177
01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:51.279
was Nvidia's fault at the beginning of
the switch. Yep, exactly, So

1178
01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:57.640
we'll see what happens here. I
do like these things exist when once these

1179
01:15:57.800 --> 01:16:00.720
systems get like depreciated and they and
or deprecated and they're no longer in use,

1180
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:02.520
and it's like, Okay, I
just want to have my one thing

1181
01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:05.640
that has all the games on it
and think there's ways to do that,

1182
01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:09.039
you know, like from three DS. I did the three DS hacks around.

1183
01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:11.520
That's good for preservation. People can
say, where are they want?

1184
01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:15.000
But I ain't buying, you know, like an old Pokemon game for like

1185
01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:17.760
loose Kart one hundred and twenty dollars
or fifty dollars year. Yeah, like

1186
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.720
no, I'm gonna pop in a
flash cart or like home brew my DS

1187
01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:25.760
and then just play it that way
because I shouldn't have to give money to

1188
01:16:26.159 --> 01:16:28.840
a third party just to feel good
about myself. No, I'm this.

1189
01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:31.960
Yeah, you play these old backups
that are completely off circulation, and so

1190
01:16:32.439 --> 01:16:34.720
you know these things. Yeah,
they might be used for piracy in the

1191
01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:38.399
near term, which is always unfortunate, but in the long term, it's

1192
01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:42.880
important that the type of technology exists. Yep. And we'll see how this

1193
01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:45.800
actually comes out and works once it's
out there. Who knows. It could

1194
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:48.760
be a really bad experience and actually
not be for most people, but we'll

1195
01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:53.520
see. The last couple of stories
here. Twenty twenty four is Mother two's

1196
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:58.239
thirtieth anniversary. That's Earthbound, according
to the website, to commemorate the thirtieth

1197
01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:00.399
anniversary of Mother two, which were
in the hearts of many people in the

1198
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:03.760
Mother series, we are planning a
lot of fun in twenty twenty four.

1199
01:17:04.600 --> 01:17:10.359
That probably just means merch. It
probably doesn't mean another three that everyone's been

1200
01:17:10.399 --> 01:17:13.640
asking for forever, but maybe.
I mean, listen, I don't think

1201
01:17:13.760 --> 01:17:15.520
the chances aren't zero, but they're
pretty close to zero. I feel like

1202
01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:20.119
with Mother three these days, I
don't know any Earthbound fans amongst you.

1203
01:17:20.439 --> 01:17:23.720
I've tried it a couple times,
and I see what people like, but

1204
01:17:23.800 --> 01:17:26.039
I never stuck with it. I
think I'm exactly in the same boat.

1205
01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:29.039
And Okay, I respect this is
like a cool take on like a JRPG,

1206
01:17:29.199 --> 01:17:32.720
but it's still yeah, wasn't for
me. Yeah. And then finally,

1207
01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:35.640
Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door has
been rated for the Switch by the

1208
01:17:35.800 --> 01:17:41.439
EESRB. In America. It received
an E for everyone. The game doesn't

1209
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:44.520
have an official release date yet.
They just said twenty twenty four. They

1210
01:17:44.560 --> 01:17:46.119
might have said like a time of
year, but they said twenty twenty four.

1211
01:17:46.840 --> 01:17:50.319
Being rated by the ESRB suggests it's
probably coming pretty soon, so we'll

1212
01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:56.840
see. That could be like announced
in a direct either this month or next

1213
01:17:56.840 --> 01:17:59.720
month. Probably it probably happened a
little bit later, or they could just

1214
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:02.159
say on a YouTube video or a
Twitch or Twitter drop at any point,

1215
01:18:02.279 --> 01:18:05.920
so we'll see. But I am
excited to go back to the Thousand Year

1216
01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:10.039
Door, so we'll see what happens
there. Well, I'm looking at I'm

1217
01:18:10.079 --> 01:18:15.319
looking at the descriptions for why it
received the rating. What is it?

1218
01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:18.840
Is that a typo? Or is
it really meant to say no interactive elements?

1219
01:18:20.159 --> 01:18:24.840
I think that that's for like the
fantasy or the fantasy violence might not

1220
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:27.920
have interactive elements? I think,
God, yes, yeah, does you're

1221
01:18:27.960 --> 01:18:30.720
like timing a to like hit things
with hammers. No, but I think

1222
01:18:31.199 --> 01:18:35.039
talking about like cut scenes like there's
nothing right is that? I mean this

1223
01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:40.600
is how they put it in the
SRB. Yes, I'm actually sure why

1224
01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:45.000
they would call it. And this
is in quotes no interactive elements. Yeah,

1225
01:18:45.039 --> 01:18:48.720
because it says mild fantasy violence and
mild suggestive themes and no interactive elements.

1226
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:55.600
That's probably thing. Its probably means
like miles suggestive themes with no elements,

1227
01:18:56.000 --> 01:19:00.920
no no hot cost. Unfortunately.
Uh that does it for the news

1228
01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:04.600
though, Beckler, I'm gonna hand
the show back over to you, all

1229
01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:09.239
right. I will take it from
my hand and put it in my pocket

1230
01:19:09.520 --> 01:19:15.840
and we will take one more break
back with emails right after this stick around.

1231
01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:21.199
There's one thing I did have over
the break that I hadn't in a

1232
01:19:21.279 --> 01:19:27.079
while, and I feel like you'll
enjoy this, Dan I had. I

1233
01:19:27.159 --> 01:19:32.880
had soda. Really, Oh,
I drank Doctor Brown's black cherry soda.

1234
01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:35.600
Do you know Doctor Brown's. Do
you guys know Doctor Brown? I got

1235
01:19:35.640 --> 01:19:42.239
the pepper, you got mister peppers, the both doctors. This is like

1236
01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:45.000
an I p a of SODA's that
No. I think it's the only place

1237
01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:48.800
you can really find them. I
feel like is in Deli's, like like

1238
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:55.479
East Coast Delis. There is a
purple can and it just like brought me

1239
01:19:55.600 --> 01:19:59.159
back to a real weird place I
don't know, like drinking. Wait,

1240
01:19:59.199 --> 01:20:01.279
so it was just like a full
on sugary soda. Oh yeah, this

1241
01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:06.439
is like sugar ass like Marlboro red
version of soda. All right, thank

1242
01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:10.520
you up. If you're not used
to man, I was twenty years.

1243
01:20:11.079 --> 01:20:15.680
It's made me do things I was
not used to doing. I'll do I'll

1244
01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:19.319
do a Mexican coke on Christmas Day. I didn't do it this year,

1245
01:20:19.359 --> 01:20:24.359
but in the past that's like yourself. Thanks the real sugar. Yeah,

1246
01:20:24.399 --> 01:20:26.880
all that stuff. It's really tasty
and it comes in the glass bottle.

1247
01:20:27.640 --> 01:20:30.800
Jeff, I am glad that you
brought this up because I actually had something

1248
01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:34.319
that I wanted to discuss with Dan
very quickly. Here it's it's on a

1249
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:40.079
topic. Dan. Did you see
the Mondu news today, No, or

1250
01:20:40.199 --> 01:20:45.520
the twentieth anniversary of Baja Blast.
It will be in stores year round twenty

1251
01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:48.079
twenty four. Well, here's the
big question. Because Mountain Dew is notorious

1252
01:20:48.439 --> 01:20:54.159
for announcing a bunch of awesome sounding
flavors that I'll never have because they don't

1253
01:20:54.159 --> 01:20:57.720
have zero versions. So they occasionally
will do like Major mellon zero. They've

1254
01:20:57.760 --> 01:21:00.680
done the Live Wire zero one point. Will it have a zero version?

1255
01:21:01.279 --> 01:21:04.279
Well, I mean they did.
I mean they did in stores. Yeah,

1256
01:21:05.039 --> 01:21:09.359
so I assume I don't. I
don't see details here. I assume

1257
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:12.920
it's going to be base Baja and
zero sugar. You're all right, if

1258
01:21:12.960 --> 01:21:15.479
they do it right, then I
will add that to the rotation very regularly.

1259
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:21.000
That that's great. That's great to
hear of every soda. Clearly,

1260
01:21:21.479 --> 01:21:27.239
Jesus, they're good. They're just
passing money up. I'll invest in my

1261
01:21:27.279 --> 01:21:30.399
own as pertainer, do it myself. Where do you get that? You

1262
01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:35.359
get like chemical companies on the plants, you know, squeeze it up from

1263
01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:45.640
the plant, from the ass plant. I'm hoarding ass plants. All right,

1264
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:50.119
it's the emails time, folks.
Got some emails that I believe.

1265
01:21:50.199 --> 01:21:58.680
I'm just gonna assume channel Chilla in
bed somehow, grub you did this.

1266
01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:00.640
I did not do this. But
I can grab them if these ones aren't

1267
01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:02.880
up to date, or we could
just answer the same emails again. Who's

1268
01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:05.359
gonna start her up to date?
Are they? I have no idea,

1269
01:22:05.399 --> 01:22:10.439
I am. Let me look right
now? Is it the New Year's resolutions?

1270
01:22:10.479 --> 01:22:15.680
Well this Christmas? Yeah? Yeah, okay, all right, fantastic,

1271
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:18.720
Thanks Jen, Thanks feel better Jen, and thanks jan Uh. This

1272
01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:25.359
one comes from Jeff from Quebec City. Hey, gang, New Year's resolutions

1273
01:22:25.399 --> 01:22:28.920
are upon us. What was this
successful? Tell me if I'm doing this

1274
01:22:29.079 --> 01:22:30.680
again, by the way, because
I have no idea. Uh, what

1275
01:22:30.880 --> 01:22:33.920
was the successful change you did in
the past, and how'd you do it?

1276
01:22:34.600 --> 01:22:40.720
What was your one secret trick?
Anyone ever go through one of these?

1277
01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:43.199
I mean, the one successful thing
is right on topic what we were

1278
01:22:43.239 --> 01:22:46.439
just talking about. It was stopping
drinking soda, and I drank. I

1279
01:22:46.479 --> 01:22:49.960
stopped drinking all soda for a very
long time. And then I like,

1280
01:22:50.119 --> 01:22:53.840
now I when I go out to
eat, I will have a zero and

1281
01:22:54.199 --> 01:22:58.039
uh for like special occasions. But
that that was my wedding. I wanted

1282
01:22:58.039 --> 01:23:00.680
to I wanted to loose some weight
for my wedding, so I stopped drinking

1283
01:23:00.199 --> 01:23:05.079
Coca Cola and full sugar doctor pepper, and that was it was the one

1284
01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:08.279
time I re remember like, oh, this is a change I'm actually gonna

1285
01:23:08.279 --> 01:23:12.199
be able to stick to because yeah, and that will change your fucking life.

1286
01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:14.880
Oh it was, yes, it
was time. It was definitely time.

1287
01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:17.560
I when I traveled, that's what
when I like traveled to uh,

1288
01:23:17.880 --> 01:23:20.399
I think it actually was Amsterdam.
I said ice the last time and then

1289
01:23:20.479 --> 01:23:23.880
went to Amstream and I had all
those PEPSI maxis. That was after I

1290
01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:26.600
stopped drinking the pop and it's like, oh no, this is like tearing

1291
01:23:26.640 --> 01:23:29.600
my throat up because there's so much
acidity in it. Like I needed,

1292
01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:32.720
I needed to stop doing this.
I'm getting too old. It's if you

1293
01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:36.880
are a soda drinker and you're looking
to maybe lose weight, Like I've said

1294
01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:43.039
this a million times. After college, I stopped drinking soda and lost twenty

1295
01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:45.840
seven pounds. But were you just
drinking like full of sugar or sodas?

1296
01:23:47.640 --> 01:23:53.560
I mean I was zero period.
I hated zero. Well zero wasn't a

1297
01:23:53.600 --> 01:23:56.239
thing back then, but there was
obviously diet, and I just never drank

1298
01:23:56.319 --> 01:24:01.079
diet. I was like, I'm
going all the way with real ass soda,

1299
01:24:01.439 --> 01:24:05.199
but I was probably maybe having like
two a day. But still like

1300
01:24:05.479 --> 01:24:11.159
you that it is drinking like what
like four hundred five hundred calories there,

1301
01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:15.359
you just need one of those like
standard like gas station bottles of like mountain

1302
01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:16.800
dew or something to be like two
hundred and forty calories. It's insane.

1303
01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:20.880
I just I've never understood why anyone
drinks full of sugar sodas. That's nuts.

1304
01:24:20.920 --> 01:24:23.680
So you're a kid and you didn't
know any better, that's what happened

1305
01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:26.560
a kid. I definitely did.
But I mean now that we know and

1306
01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:29.520
you know were you got a count
calories little more, It's like that's so

1307
01:24:29.720 --> 01:24:31.960
many. Oh, I'm to be
clear, more pissed than my parents,

1308
01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:38.279
uh like upset with my parents letting
me drink soda as a child. Yeah,

1309
01:24:38.600 --> 01:24:41.199
that's that's like one of the big
things is like apparently I'm like I'm

1310
01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:46.720
not gonna really like yeah, full
soda like a real drug basically, like

1311
01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:49.479
you just get poked on it.
Listen. I have my own problems with

1312
01:24:49.560 --> 01:24:55.279
like caffeine and what not, sure
whatever, but sugar actively like makes me

1313
01:24:55.399 --> 01:25:00.000
feel like ass afterwards, Like I
feel so bad now that I've almost complete

1314
01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:03.279
could I'm just drinking water, the
flavored waters, you know, your Lacroy

1315
01:25:03.520 --> 01:25:08.600
Spindro style stuff. Yeah, I
can't do a full sugar so does anymore?

1316
01:25:08.640 --> 01:25:12.199
Even even a diet soda is a
bit of a stretch for me sometimes

1317
01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:15.000
where it's like even now, I'm
like, there's so much stuff in here,

1318
01:25:15.159 --> 01:25:17.479
like, just give me a water
and then I'll have like my sugar

1319
01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:20.800
free monster a couple times a week
and that's it, dude. Yep,

1320
01:25:20.960 --> 01:25:24.800
water ever, guarantee. For the
first twenty years of my life, I

1321
01:25:24.880 --> 01:25:28.600
had way more full sugar soda than
I had water. And it probably wasn't

1322
01:25:28.600 --> 01:25:31.760
even close, Like probably that it
was even like it wasn't every thing I

1323
01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:35.279
thought about, never even considered it, but yeah, probably the same yeap.

1324
01:25:35.399 --> 01:25:38.800
Just taking on a whole two liter
one sitting no problem. Yep.

1325
01:25:39.800 --> 01:25:43.600
You know, thinking about it gets
me pretty upset. Yep. So I'm

1326
01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:46.600
not gonna not gonna do that anymore. Any other New Year's resolutions that anyone's

1327
01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:51.079
trying to hold on to or do
or have had past success doing. I

1328
01:25:51.319 --> 01:25:55.319
find that like whenever it's not necessarily
a New Year's thing, but whenever I've

1329
01:25:55.399 --> 01:25:57.520
like gotten too heavy and I'm like, okay, I need to lose like,

1330
01:25:57.600 --> 01:26:00.399
you know, twenty thirty pounds or
whatever, I will set so rules

1331
01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:01.600
and stuff and then I can do
it. But then once I kind of

1332
01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:04.359
get to like a good spot.
Then I'm very quick to kind of go

1333
01:26:04.479 --> 01:26:09.039
back to old habits and stuff.
And I find that when it has worked,

1334
01:26:09.239 --> 01:26:13.399
it's always been due to routine and
like just getting yourself used to that,

1335
01:26:13.600 --> 01:26:15.920
like not being loosey goosey. Where's
like, Oh, I'm gonna try

1336
01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:17.960
to work out every day and sometimes
it's seven in the morning. Sometimes it's

1337
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:20.840
like, oh shit at seven pm
and I haven't worked out yet today,

1338
01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:24.239
Like I need to like set a
routine. So like now I'm trying to

1339
01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:28.000
do like seven thirty to eight thirty
every morning, and that tends to work

1340
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:31.039
a lot better for me. Yeah, that's true for everybody. The back

1341
01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:36.640
sliding, it's just it is universal. It happens to everybody unless you are

1342
01:26:36.840 --> 01:26:42.239
militant about it for your entire life. That's the one thing where I would

1343
01:26:42.359 --> 01:26:45.520
like a dan Ass solution to where
like if I could just get a machine

1344
01:26:45.560 --> 01:26:49.560
that works me out for me,
you can do a lot of like little

1345
01:26:49.600 --> 01:26:51.800
things like I mean even like standing
dos and stuff, like you know you're

1346
01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:56.640
burning It's a little little thing,
but you are burning more calorie standing than

1347
01:26:56.640 --> 01:26:59.520
anywhere. Like I'm thinking about getting
like an underdesk, like a foldable treadmill

1348
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:00.640
or something just we can get some
steps in while I'm down here. So

1349
01:27:01.119 --> 01:27:04.399
oh yeah, it gets worse than
that. Though. I mentioned before the

1350
01:27:04.439 --> 01:27:08.159
show that I had some you know, random local channel on just as some

1351
01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:11.199
background noise, and one of the
ads I absolutely hate on there is that

1352
01:27:11.319 --> 01:27:15.640
they have this thing where like it's
like it's like a you know, the

1353
01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:20.720
stationary bicycle. What do you call
those? Is that elliptical exercise bike kind

1354
01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:26.560
of machine? Well, yeah,
whatever that type of thing is. They

1355
01:27:26.640 --> 01:27:30.760
have one of those that is motorized, so it moves your legs for you,

1356
01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:34.239
and they're like, it's gonna work
out? Is there anything? I'm

1357
01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:38.720
just like, that is bad.
I think I always loved that dream of

1358
01:27:38.840 --> 01:27:41.600
like you'd remember like the old like
fifties ads for like, oh, you're

1359
01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:45.119
just like it's kind of like goes
around. It's gonna shave off your mid

1360
01:27:45.159 --> 01:27:47.920
like internal bleeding or whatever. Yeah, you need to put the work in.

1361
01:27:48.119 --> 01:27:51.720
Yeah, can you've done the cross
country skiing yet or what? It's

1362
01:27:53.079 --> 01:27:56.119
we just got the first snow and
it's like a dusting that's gonna be gone

1363
01:27:56.199 --> 01:27:59.239
very soon. We've been waiting.
We want to I forgot to tell you

1364
01:27:59.359 --> 01:28:04.920
this. I went skiing over Christmas
and I saw these freaks going up the

1365
01:28:04.960 --> 01:28:10.359
mountain the wrong way. You want
to do cross country, which is not

1366
01:28:10.520 --> 01:28:13.800
this. I think this is like
snowshoeing. But I saw people literally like

1367
01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:18.039
climbing up the mountain in their skis
with their walk with their poles, and

1368
01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:20.960
I was just like, is this
what Dan's gonna do? And my immediate

1369
01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:26.119
thought was like, there's no way
Dan can do that. And then the

1370
01:28:26.239 --> 01:28:29.319
second thought was, is this also
what you want to do? You don't

1371
01:28:29.319 --> 01:28:31.119
want to do that, right?
You don't want to climb up a mountain?

1372
01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:34.279
Well, I mean you want to
declines. It's it's also not a

1373
01:28:34.399 --> 01:28:38.520
mountain. It's like it's no I
know, put like trails and stuff that

1374
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:41.520
I'm wait, when I saw people
doing that, like these people were like

1375
01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:45.319
you know they they clearly looked like, you know, the winter rized version

1376
01:28:45.359 --> 01:28:49.439
of a marathon person right like they
were they were. I just couldn't believe.

1377
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:53.960
I was like watching someone climb up
a mountain with skis and I'm just

1378
01:28:54.079 --> 01:28:57.960
like that the worst way. It's
way easier going the other way. Place,

1379
01:28:58.039 --> 01:28:59.880
hear me. It's just you know, little inclines and dclimbes, Like

1380
01:29:00.000 --> 01:29:02.880
Minnesota isn't super super hilly around here, so yeah, definitely not up a

1381
01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:06.760
mountain. What about snowshoeing. That
seemed like that would maybe be something that

1382
01:29:06.840 --> 01:29:10.800
I would do where that's what you're
not. Just chance said he did snowshoeing.

1383
01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:15.479
Yeah, work liked it. Yeah, yeah, all right, Well

1384
01:29:15.479 --> 01:29:19.720
good luck with that. What else
any other resolutions are? Are we moving

1385
01:29:19.800 --> 01:29:24.359
on? I'm the I'm the boring
one. I just never have them,

1386
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:27.159
this whole backlog dance, like the
first time I've ever stuck to anything.

1387
01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:30.039
I never do them either, because
it's just like, uh, I don't

1388
01:29:30.079 --> 01:29:35.079
know if I'm not. I don't
judge people who set them, definitely,

1389
01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:40.159
you know, but it's not for
me. If I need to do something

1390
01:29:40.239 --> 01:29:43.960
badly enough, I just do it
right away. I'll wait until January first

1391
01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:46.640
to start doing Yeah, like on
February third, I'm going to stop smoking

1392
01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:50.279
for my New Year's resolution next year, of course, And what I'm going

1393
01:29:50.359 --> 01:29:54.600
to do, I am one year
away from the age my dad was when

1394
01:29:54.640 --> 01:29:57.880
he decided to start smoking. So
maybe I'll set a New Year's resolution for

1395
01:29:58.199 --> 01:30:01.880
next year to start smoking. I
hate that, in fact, so much

1396
01:30:02.000 --> 01:30:06.640
that like it's incredible to delete it
from my head. Insane. Yeah,

1397
01:30:09.520 --> 01:30:14.000
once I heard that, I learned
everything I needed to learn about your father.

1398
01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:21.000
Yeah, Nick from Australia Rights in
Haye Bomb Squad. I love euro

1399
01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:26.640
the euro truck simulator too and American
truck simulator games from the Czech developers at

1400
01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:30.600
SCS Software. As I've driven well
over one thousand hour hours across the two

1401
01:30:30.680 --> 01:30:36.119
games maps, I've noticed my European
and American geography skills have gone from being

1402
01:30:36.439 --> 01:30:43.680
unable to find prominent countries and states
to finding individual cities on Google Maps by

1403
01:30:43.800 --> 01:30:48.760
just zooming in from a Global View
show off. This got me wondering has

1404
01:30:48.840 --> 01:30:55.600
any of the gbstaff noticed any improvements
and skills they learned at school or were

1405
01:30:55.640 --> 01:31:00.039
they meant to or were they meant
to learn by playing a game? So

1406
01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:02.680
have we ever learned anything from a
game? I think is what the something

1407
01:31:02.680 --> 01:31:05.079
we're meant to learn but you actually
learned by playing a game? Yeah?

1408
01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:10.920
Everything I know about the Cold War
is from Metal Gear in Rocky, very

1409
01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:13.920
accurate at that, Like they know
they didn't even try to teach us the

1410
01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:16.399
Cold War in school or like any
like they touched on World War two,

1411
01:31:16.439 --> 01:31:20.920
I think briefly, but like any
like historical war type thing is all from

1412
01:31:21.000 --> 01:31:26.359
video games. Yeah, I mean
that's true for a lot of that Stuff's

1413
01:31:26.359 --> 01:31:29.159
true for me video games and movies. So I learned a lot more from

1414
01:31:29.199 --> 01:31:32.000
that stuff than I did in school. But that's just because a lot of

1415
01:31:32.039 --> 01:31:34.800
a lot of my teachers weren't very
good. It was a big part of

1416
01:31:34.840 --> 01:31:40.920
that. But uh, I don't
know. In terms of skills, I

1417
01:31:40.960 --> 01:31:44.920
don't know if there's any skill that
comes to mind necessarily that I learned,

1418
01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:48.119
right. I mean, I guess
i'd get more confidence doing things like when

1419
01:31:48.159 --> 01:31:53.000
I had to when I was moving
my house and I was putting everything in

1420
01:31:53.039 --> 01:31:55.760
a big truck. It's like why
I played it. I like games with

1421
01:31:55.800 --> 01:31:58.479
big trucks, and I felt more
confident about using it because I had spent

1422
01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:01.039
so much time doing that. Now, not many of those skills translated one

1423
01:32:01.079 --> 01:32:05.399
to one, but I definitely felt
like I am familiar, like with this

1424
01:32:05.640 --> 01:32:10.600
cockpit, I am familiar with how
this truck is supposed to move generally,

1425
01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:15.960
and so kind of taking things slow
and letting it like letting the skills translate

1426
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:17.359
where they did. I think it
just kind of gave me a jump a

1427
01:32:17.399 --> 01:32:20.760
little bit of a head start there, but nothing like a hard skill or

1428
01:32:20.800 --> 01:32:26.159
anything like that. I think,
just through so many honestly, like a

1429
01:32:26.319 --> 01:32:30.199
decade of playing drums in rock band, Like I very loosely know how to

1430
01:32:30.279 --> 01:32:34.199
play drums now definitely, Like yeah, I've sat down at my friend's drum

1431
01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:36.520
set. I'm like, oh,
I can recreate what I learned this game

1432
01:32:36.560 --> 01:32:41.199
once you taught me, you know, like how it correlates to like the

1433
01:32:41.319 --> 01:32:44.399
different types and like this a high
head and yeahda yah, yeah, so

1434
01:32:44.439 --> 01:32:45.960
I can do like basic stuff there. I think that might be the closest

1435
01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:49.399
I've ever come, But I did
want to ask since I haven't played it.

1436
01:32:50.359 --> 01:32:55.880
Grub chance of sinar and learning language
is that like legit you think you

1437
01:32:55.960 --> 01:32:58.880
think you are better at that scale? Again, it's the it gives me

1438
01:32:59.039 --> 01:33:02.560
the confidence that if I were immersed
in a place with the language, that

1439
01:33:02.720 --> 01:33:05.520
I would be able to do that. And that's something like I have done

1440
01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:08.960
that I have done before when I
worked at Burger King and it was like

1441
01:33:09.159 --> 01:33:12.000
it was all all these guys from
Mexico that I worked with, and it

1442
01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:15.159
was like basically one other English speaker
and he sucked so I talked to them,

1443
01:33:15.359 --> 01:33:17.159
the Mexicans a lot, and they
taught me a ton of Spanish because

1444
01:33:17.600 --> 01:33:21.159
I was immersed basically, and so
it's like recognizing that in the game it

1445
01:33:21.199 --> 01:33:25.000
worked the same way, and like, Okay, I'm that that's a skill

1446
01:33:25.079 --> 01:33:28.399
that wasn't just coming to me because
I was sixteen or whatever a burger king.

1447
01:33:28.760 --> 01:33:30.880
It was something that my brain actually
can do that again. And chances

1448
01:33:31.039 --> 01:33:34.560
Nar is a gamified version of that. Yeah, but you're not going to

1449
01:33:34.600 --> 01:33:38.880
take any necessarily any like, Okay, I've learned something chances SNAr and now

1450
01:33:38.880 --> 01:33:44.520
I'm better at speaking languages right to
yes approach, it is practicing the same

1451
01:33:44.760 --> 01:33:48.359
skill set and recognizing that you can
use those things once you get into those

1452
01:33:48.359 --> 01:33:53.119
situations. Okay, it would be
sick to have a game teach you another

1453
01:33:53.239 --> 01:33:56.680
language, though, Yeah, I
mean I'm thinking about that. Yeah,

1454
01:33:57.039 --> 01:33:59.920
no one has tried or no one
has tried. Well no, I've seen

1455
01:34:00.039 --> 01:34:01.039
them on like Steam and stuff,
like I don't know how effected there,

1456
01:34:01.079 --> 01:34:05.840
but they games and stuff. Yeah, like learn Japanese to play a simple

1457
01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:11.439
RPG. There are gamified for sure. Yeah, it's gamified, but like,

1458
01:34:12.079 --> 01:34:15.399
uh, the you need to you
need hands on right, like you

1459
01:34:15.520 --> 01:34:19.279
need to be. I bet if
you like played a thousand hours of Grand

1460
01:34:19.319 --> 01:34:23.279
Theft Auto with it set to a
different language, I bet you would come

1461
01:34:23.279 --> 01:34:27.840
out the other side with like a
pretty decent amount of Actually, I think

1462
01:34:27.880 --> 01:34:32.199
that is something you hear people.
That is something you hear about people who

1463
01:34:32.319 --> 01:34:36.000
learn English as the second language,
or like just watched a bunch of TV.

1464
01:34:36.399 --> 01:34:39.920
Oh yeah, Like I hear all
the time in the Pokemon community from

1465
01:34:39.920 --> 01:34:43.000
people who are English as a second
language. Like I picked up English through

1466
01:34:43.079 --> 01:34:45.920
Pokemon because it's such a simple game
back in the day. I did eventually

1467
01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:49.359
just associate words, and you do
learn through immersion, Like, uh,

1468
01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:54.439
I'm part of Mexican and so the
Mexican side of my family. I just

1469
01:34:54.560 --> 01:34:57.520
sort of, you know, I
don't know Spanish like fluently, but I'm

1470
01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:00.319
just taken it in enough that I'm
like, I don't loosely what people are

1471
01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:01.119
talking about me. Oh, I
know this, we're in this way in

1472
01:35:01.159 --> 01:35:03.720
the syntax there. Okay, that
that makes sense. So you definitely you

1473
01:35:03.800 --> 01:35:09.319
do learn just by being immersed in
something. Kevin Owens credits Jim ross Is

1474
01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:14.159
announcing on raw as the way he
learned English so much Kevin Owens is a

1475
01:35:14.199 --> 01:35:18.039
wrestler and he was from Quebec and
he just watched raw all the time growing

1476
01:35:18.079 --> 01:35:21.800
up, and he credits like he
learned English from Jim Ross, Like slobber

1477
01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:29.920
Knocker was a hey, however,
you can get it right. There was

1478
01:35:29.920 --> 01:35:31.520
a buriod when I was going real
hot and heavy on Stardo Valley that I

1479
01:35:31.560 --> 01:35:33.680
did have the thought a couple of
times, like I wonder if i'd,

1480
01:35:33.760 --> 01:35:36.600
like ever just retired from games,
if I could just maybe I just start

1481
01:35:36.640 --> 01:35:42.159
a farm. It seems like I've
learned a lot from starting and real like,

1482
01:35:42.199 --> 01:35:45.239
shoot, farming is probably a lot
harder than starting well, definitely,

1483
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:47.359
definitely, But like if you were
like let's say, take okay, so

1484
01:35:47.399 --> 01:35:50.920
you did Starduo Valley, Now if
you did farming simulator, that would get

1485
01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:55.039
you a little bit closer to understanding
what actually goes into it, and then

1486
01:35:55.159 --> 01:35:58.840
yeah, you could probably take something
from there and like have the general shape

1487
01:35:58.920 --> 01:36:01.359
of what farming should be, like
like concept of like I didn't think about

1488
01:36:01.359 --> 01:36:04.520
like the seasons, being like,
oh this fruit grows in this season?

1489
01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:08.239
Like started? Who taught me that? So closer than I was before I

1490
01:36:08.279 --> 01:36:13.159
started? Yep, definitely m I'm
really I like, I've been thinking about

1491
01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:16.000
this the entire time. I have
not learned one goddamn thing from any game

1492
01:36:16.079 --> 01:36:24.159
ever, Like right, maybe honestly
the worst I take that back. The

1493
01:36:24.239 --> 01:36:28.039
worst thing I've learned is just like
the names of guns, Like like I

1494
01:36:28.159 --> 01:36:33.119
understand like someone because I know what
a desert eagle is because of counter Strike.

1495
01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:40.600
Right, that's definitely true. Yeah, great, learned all the worst

1496
01:36:40.720 --> 01:36:44.920
possible things. But metal Gear teaches
you that war is bad? Did it

1497
01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:48.479
teach you that? No? I
think that's probably common sense, but I

1498
01:36:48.560 --> 01:36:50.600
mean it really drives it home.
Like, oh man, this is like

1499
01:36:50.760 --> 01:36:55.199
wasn't until I played metal Gear did
I realize you know what War's bad?

1500
01:36:56.159 --> 01:36:59.399
But the P ninety is really cool? Oh yeah, but the M four

1501
01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:06.239
is fucking dope. Christ all right, thank you emailer. Next up h

1502
01:37:06.479 --> 01:37:12.039
rites in high BombCast. I recently
picked up Shadow Gambit and it got me

1503
01:37:12.159 --> 01:37:15.960
thinking who gets the money when you
buy a game from a defunct studio.

1504
01:37:15.560 --> 01:37:21.159
It looks like me me me me
me me me me was independent, So

1505
01:37:21.239 --> 01:37:26.319
who is now catching those steam checks? Will the devs actually see any of

1506
01:37:26.439 --> 01:37:29.720
the money from sales post studio closure? That's a good question. That's a

1507
01:37:29.800 --> 01:37:32.680
great question. It's gonna be different
in every situation is going to be different.

1508
01:37:33.119 --> 01:37:38.720
My assumption here for a studio like
MEMI me is that there is someone

1509
01:37:39.439 --> 01:37:44.720
who set up the like the bank
account and the relationship between the bank account

1510
01:37:44.760 --> 01:37:47.239
and steam so that when those funds
get deposited, they go into a certain

1511
01:37:47.279 --> 01:37:51.439
bank account. And I mean there's
a chance that all that money's just sending

1512
01:37:51.479 --> 01:37:56.600
that bank account for that person.
The more likely scenario is there is an

1513
01:37:56.680 --> 01:37:59.920
understanding, there is a contractual agreement
that like, as that money continues to

1514
01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:03.199
come in, it still gets dispersed
to the to the stakeholders who were involved

1515
01:38:03.199 --> 01:38:06.359
in that studio, Like regardless of
how loose it is, there is a

1516
01:38:06.640 --> 01:38:11.399
rights holder to some degree, like
even if it's an unofficial thing of like

1517
01:38:11.960 --> 01:38:14.560
I was ahead of the studio that
was in depend so I guess it goes

1518
01:38:14.600 --> 01:38:17.239
to me now, Like you know, it's like what I was assuming that

1519
01:38:17.399 --> 01:38:21.960
someone has to essentially own the closure, right like like someone It has to

1520
01:38:23.159 --> 01:38:26.600
default back to something, to some
entity. So yeah, imagine, yeah

1521
01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:29.720
it's it's and it probably is.
I mean, they paid the people to

1522
01:38:29.760 --> 01:38:31.680
do that work. That money was
always supposed to go to them. That's

1523
01:38:31.720 --> 01:38:35.039
how this often works. So if
they're getting that money, it's just like

1524
01:38:35.199 --> 01:38:38.680
Nope, that's working the way it's
supposed to. That goes back to like

1525
01:38:38.840 --> 01:38:42.920
what I was talking about with buying
retro games and why it's like silly to

1526
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:45.159
have a moral high ground when it
comes to buying those old games. It's

1527
01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:48.079
like nobody who worked on those are
seeing any of the money on that.

1528
01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:51.439
Yeah, I mean, or think
about like what's happening with music right now,

1529
01:38:51.720 --> 01:38:57.479
Like all these older artists selling their
catalogs to these fucking companies. Kailer,

1530
01:38:57.560 --> 01:39:00.239
dude, that's why she's re recording
because she's like, I'm not seeing

1531
01:39:00.239 --> 01:39:01.359
a penny of this, and I
have some of the most popular music in

1532
01:39:01.399 --> 01:39:04.640
the world. That is stupid.
Yeah, But d Snyder from like Twist

1533
01:39:04.720 --> 01:39:06.920
Centers Sisters, like, I've made
a lot of money. I sold my

1534
01:39:08.119 --> 01:39:12.319
entire catalog to some company and it's
like, oh, okay, I kind

1535
01:39:12.359 --> 01:39:15.520
of don't care if that company gets
paid for that music. So that this

1536
01:39:15.680 --> 01:39:18.159
is pretty silly at this point,
but yeah, that the same thing will

1537
01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:26.439
happen in games eventually, h wild. All Right. Finally, Josh the

1538
01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:30.039
Canadian writes in I was gifted an
analog pocket this Christmas, and now I'm

1539
01:39:30.079 --> 01:39:33.920
on the hunt for the games I
played as a kid. Talk to Dan

1540
01:39:33.960 --> 01:39:40.119
Num kidding, this is that's what
I did. Now this is new territory

1541
01:39:40.199 --> 01:39:45.119
for me, and I was shocked
to see so many reproduced fake games.

1542
01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:48.560
These fakes seem to have amazing reviews
and are fraction of the price of legit

1543
01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:54.399
used copies. For example, a
legit copy of Pokemon Read is over one

1544
01:39:54.439 --> 01:39:58.000
hundred dollars at the indie game store
near my house, but there are reproductions

1545
01:39:58.039 --> 01:40:01.039
for under twenty five dollars all over
the internet. Is there anything I should

1546
01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:08.359
know before diving into this world of
nostalgia? Legal legalities aside, are reproduced

1547
01:40:08.399 --> 01:40:14.039
games safe to play? Any guidance
would be greatly appreciated. Man, So

1548
01:40:14.319 --> 01:40:18.319
going in, going into analog pocket
with no plan seems like quite the task.

1549
01:40:18.319 --> 01:40:21.920
Well that's what we're here for.
Yeah, yeah, I you know,

1550
01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:25.600
as I got into retro collecting and
everything, I got hit a couple

1551
01:40:25.680 --> 01:40:29.640
times by like early on being like
wow, Normally Harvest Moon sixty four costs

1552
01:40:29.680 --> 01:40:30.800
you know this much. But I
found this one that you know, it's

1553
01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:34.520
got good reviews and it's it seems
legit, and I it arrived and it

1554
01:40:34.640 --> 01:40:38.199
was just it felt glossier. It
felt like it was just a car.

1555
01:40:38.960 --> 01:40:40.800
I was like, I've held a
lot of sixty four cards in my life,

1556
01:40:40.840 --> 01:40:44.000
and this feels off, like the
weight and the kind of shininess to

1557
01:40:44.079 --> 01:40:46.760
it and everything. And and it
happened also with a Smash Brothers cart once

1558
01:40:46.760 --> 01:40:50.159
and it was the same type of
thing. And there's a lot of resources

1559
01:40:50.199 --> 01:40:53.520
out there to make sure you're getting
the right thing. The one that I

1560
01:40:53.680 --> 01:40:58.279
watched that I credit with learning a
lot is Kelsey Lewin from the Video Game

1561
01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:01.479
History Foundation put up a bit I
specifically about sixty four stuff that she showed

1562
01:41:01.520 --> 01:41:04.520
off, like, Okay, the
eye the dot on the I on Nintendo

1563
01:41:04.680 --> 01:41:08.920
on the back of the cards is
like on legit cards, it's like more

1564
01:41:08.960 --> 01:41:12.319
of a square, and if it's
fake, it'll be like more round,

1565
01:41:12.640 --> 01:41:15.159
and just other ways that you can
just kind of like telling old Nys cards

1566
01:41:15.159 --> 01:41:18.239
and everything, Like she she runs
down a lot of that. Now it

1567
01:41:18.359 --> 01:41:21.800
bothered you that you got fakes,
right, I mean, yeah, I

1568
01:41:21.880 --> 01:41:27.119
don't. Yeah, I want you. I want you legitmart games, Yeah,

1569
01:41:27.159 --> 01:41:30.600
sure, they run like I mean
that Smash Rubbers. You run in

1570
01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:33.279
a sixty four, but like,
did you pay the appropriate price or were

1571
01:41:33.319 --> 01:41:36.399
you paying less? I was saying
less, and like that that is you

1572
01:41:36.439 --> 01:41:39.720
know, something I learned early on
too, is like, look, you're

1573
01:41:40.159 --> 01:41:43.640
retro collecting is enough of a thing
right now to where like the odds of

1574
01:41:43.760 --> 01:41:45.840
like, oh nobody bought this and
I got it on a steel like not

1575
01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:49.039
gonna happen on an eBay, Probably
not gonna happen even on like marketplace,

1576
01:41:49.079 --> 01:41:51.800
because you know, people are like
scouring marketplace all the time and they'll scoop

1577
01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:56.439
stuff real quick. Outside of like
getting real lucky at a garage sale or

1578
01:41:56.439 --> 01:41:59.479
a free market situation, you're probably
gonna have to pay close to the price

1579
01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:03.399
that you see on price charting dot
com. So the reason I asked that

1580
01:42:03.680 --> 01:42:08.279
is that the josh the Canadian says
is it's safe to use, Like it

1581
01:42:08.560 --> 01:42:13.479
still seems interested in playing these repro
cards. I always say collecting games is

1582
01:42:13.479 --> 01:42:15.840
different than playing games. So if
you're here to collect games, and if

1583
01:42:15.880 --> 01:42:18.920
that's the joy you're getting out of
this, go after the real deal thing

1584
01:42:19.079 --> 01:42:24.039
if that matters to you, If
it's just about playing the games, go

1585
01:42:24.479 --> 01:42:30.000
get the jail break for your analog
pocket. Go get the course actually don't

1586
01:42:30.000 --> 01:42:31.800
have the jail break like it's built
right in. Go get the course for

1587
01:42:32.119 --> 01:42:35.079
the game Boy, game Boy Color, game Boy Advance, all that stuff,

1588
01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:38.840
and just get the ROMs and installed
on an SD card and play it

1589
01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:42.319
that way. Don't even deal with
all this stuff because as we said earlier,

1590
01:42:42.399 --> 01:42:44.640
the money is not going to be
going to Nintendo for buying these secondhand

1591
01:42:44.720 --> 01:42:47.560
games or the repro cards, So
just don't worry about it so much.

1592
01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:51.039
There's ways to get that stuff going
real easy. I actually didn't even see

1593
01:42:51.439 --> 01:42:56.640
this email. I was talking about
all that before. Yeah, if you

1594
01:42:56.680 --> 01:42:59.399
doesn't want to play the games,
honestly, I think I always think that

1595
01:42:59.479 --> 01:43:02.079
the best combination is original hardware or
in those case, you know, analog

1596
01:43:02.159 --> 01:43:06.279
pocket is you know, FPGA basically
is original hardware even better in many ways,

1597
01:43:06.600 --> 01:43:10.680
and combining that with like a flash
cart, so like you want to

1598
01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:15.319
be like very simple and you you, for my reason, want that pocket

1599
01:43:15.319 --> 01:43:18.359
specifically, though I do I recommend
against the flash card right exactly, because

1600
01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:21.079
that's what I'm gonna get to.
It doesn't need it, like if you

1601
01:43:21.159 --> 01:43:25.800
were doing this on original you know, for any other system, you know,

1602
01:43:25.960 --> 01:43:29.079
like for an End sixty four.
Let's say buying an Never Drive sixty

1603
01:43:29.119 --> 01:43:31.159
four and lowing up that with ROMs. If you just want to play,

1604
01:43:31.920 --> 01:43:34.119
that is the best way to do
it, I think, because then it

1605
01:43:34.239 --> 01:43:38.000
plays like it originally does, but
you don't have to spend all that money.

1606
01:43:38.199 --> 01:43:40.520
That being said, you know this
person does specifically say you're on the

1607
01:43:40.560 --> 01:43:43.680
hunt for games you play as a
kid. I've looked into a lot of

1608
01:43:43.680 --> 01:43:45.720
this stuff as well. You know, I have fled this for a long

1609
01:43:45.760 --> 01:43:50.000
time. I will say you you
actually do need to be careful buying quote

1610
01:43:50.039 --> 01:43:57.119
unquote fake games like actually carefully made
reproductions are generally good. But if you're

1611
01:43:57.159 --> 01:44:01.279
buying like the super Cheapo versions,
those sometimes can incorrectly receive voltages and stuff

1612
01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:05.199
that could damage the game. It
could damage your system. That actually is

1613
01:44:05.399 --> 01:44:09.600
a bit of a sketchy area to
go down. So I would say avoid

1614
01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:15.880
avoid any sketchy stuff like actual like
highly recommended repros. You'll find those in

1615
01:44:15.039 --> 01:44:18.119
certain places if you do a little
research. But otherwise, yeah, try

1616
01:44:19.399 --> 01:44:24.079
you try using the resources that we
said to find the real deal, and

1617
01:44:24.359 --> 01:44:26.399
you're gonna have to pay for the
real deal. But if you know,

1618
01:44:26.560 --> 01:44:30.800
if you're a collector man. That's
worth it too. Yep uh someone and

1619
01:44:30.920 --> 01:44:35.640
judge just said, and stay off
Timu. I any type of the team

1620
01:44:35.880 --> 01:44:40.560
you could see some naked ladies apparently, Yeah, I'll send it to you

1621
01:44:40.680 --> 01:44:44.279
last. That's interesting. So that's
what that TikTok scammer. It's like,

1622
01:44:44.479 --> 01:44:46.920
here's a like the thing that's gonna
get vanned off TikTok in a second.

1623
01:44:46.920 --> 01:44:48.880
But here's a naked lady. And
if you put this number into team,

1624
01:44:49.000 --> 01:44:54.119
you can see it's I assume that
you put the number into t MO and

1625
01:44:54.199 --> 01:44:58.800
it's like someone's getting money somewhere for
Yeah, how have I not seen this

1626
01:44:58.960 --> 01:45:01.840
before? T It's Timu's like like
you know, do you know wish dot

1627
01:45:01.920 --> 01:45:06.319
com? Like the bad webs Okay, it's like a really bad eBay or

1628
01:45:06.319 --> 01:45:11.359
a really bad Amazon with a lot
of sketchy bullshit stuff. Okay. So

1629
01:45:11.439 --> 01:45:13.199
when something makes a joke about like
back in the day, would have been

1630
01:45:13.199 --> 01:45:15.279
like, oh you got like the
kmart version of it, like the cheap

1631
01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:16.840
version of it. Today it's like
Timu, but it's way worse than Kmart

1632
01:45:17.159 --> 01:45:20.279
did. July twenty twenty two.
Oh, this boat's really well Okay,

1633
01:45:20.319 --> 01:45:27.199
yeah, yeah, timus seems like
I something for whatever reason. It doesn't

1634
01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:30.399
even it just sets off all the
wrong alarms. Oh correct, you're right.

1635
01:45:30.520 --> 01:45:33.960
It's like I'm an chess. It's
a pyramid scam. I don't never

1636
01:45:34.000 --> 01:45:36.439
even consider that. But now now
that I think about it the way that

1637
01:45:36.960 --> 01:45:41.800
I've seen it interact with me before, that seems right. Probably even the

1638
01:45:42.279 --> 01:45:46.760
TikTok shop feels shady to me.
But it's like it's local stores I know

1639
01:45:46.920 --> 01:45:49.159
are selling on there. I'm like, I can just like go on there

1640
01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:54.319
and buy stuff through them. TikTok
will take a percentage off. And this

1641
01:45:54.479 --> 01:45:59.079
is a really weird thing. TikTok
is quickly turning into QVC like it's happening

1642
01:45:59.359 --> 01:46:02.000
like that. It's like every other
video it's like trying to sell you something

1643
01:46:02.079 --> 01:46:04.800
from the TikTok store. It's like, this kind of sucks. Now.

1644
01:46:05.239 --> 01:46:09.640
I tried to film from Instagram once
and got scammed. It was a Neon

1645
01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:12.680
w CW sign that got advertised.
And that's the one time I tried to

1646
01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:16.199
buy anything up Instagram and it's just
never got sent that credit card company the

1647
01:46:16.279 --> 01:46:20.760
market stuff, but that's been the
most successful. Uh way that I'm that

1648
01:46:21.079 --> 01:46:27.359
Instagram has has proved to be like
monetizable rights all the store junk and and

1649
01:46:28.039 --> 01:46:39.079
you know that's yep, seems uh
speak slash store dot com dot giant bomb

1650
01:46:39.119 --> 01:46:43.159
dot com. Yes, I said
door. We're also gonna have new stuff

1651
01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:46.680
heading there. I want to say
sometime this month. Uh, there will

1652
01:46:46.720 --> 01:46:50.279
be new stuff. And maybe if
you didn't get to go to a certain

1653
01:46:50.359 --> 01:46:55.560
thing in person, you'll be able
to get the thing that people got in

1654
01:46:55.680 --> 01:47:00.000
person later, if that makes sense. Just chew on that for a little

1655
01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:03.560
litle bit. Hey everyone listening,
Uh, Happy new year to everyone.

1656
01:47:03.720 --> 01:47:08.399
Thank you so much for sticking with
us through all of twenty three. Twenty

1657
01:47:08.439 --> 01:47:12.039
four is shaping up to be an
even better and brighter year. So we're

1658
01:47:12.119 --> 01:47:15.119
very excited about what's going on over
here. Thank you so much for all

1659
01:47:15.159 --> 01:47:20.119
the support. Hopefully Jano cho is
able to join us next time. Hope

1660
01:47:20.159 --> 01:47:25.399
he's feeling better. Thank you.
Oh, we didn't have We didn't do

1661
01:47:25.479 --> 01:47:27.640
the I just realized we didn't do
the shout outs. That's okay, that's

1662
01:47:27.720 --> 01:47:30.760
Jan's thing. You know what.
I'll give a shout out because I do

1663
01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:34.800
want to here a couple of big
shouts first, shouts to anyone who submitted

1664
01:47:34.800 --> 01:47:39.439
a list for our little end of
the year round up. There a bunch

1665
01:47:39.520 --> 01:47:44.439
of guests except for Adam Cole.
We didn't know the activities he was involved

1666
01:47:44.479 --> 01:47:46.800
with. We would have said no
to Adam Cole had we known his nas.

1667
01:47:47.119 --> 01:47:50.960
We officially apologize for that. Actually
yeah, yeah, but we do

1668
01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:55.920
have a just a crat ton of
listing top ten lists they can go look

1669
01:47:55.960 --> 01:47:59.920
at on the site right now from
everyone's steph. I think Nikky's going to

1670
01:48:00.039 --> 01:48:02.199
it when and they're their last person
remaining, but now a bunch of guests

1671
01:48:02.239 --> 01:48:04.720
ones as well, and also huge
shout outs. I do want to say

1672
01:48:04.720 --> 01:48:08.760
a huge house to Marino for doing
oh yeah, just so much the heavy

1673
01:48:08.800 --> 01:48:12.840
lifting on that and all the system
formatting it way better than me and Grub

1674
01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:18.640
could apparently because fifteen pictures from the
CMS because I didn't know what I was

1675
01:48:18.680 --> 01:48:21.840
doing was the leading stuff. But
yeah, that that was also of him

1676
01:48:21.920 --> 01:48:24.960
to help us out on. So
yeah, big shouts there as well.

1677
01:48:25.079 --> 01:48:28.279
Much love, yes, thank you
so much Marino, and thank you to

1678
01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:32.560

1679
01:48:32.680 --> 01:48:39.560
