00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:29,120
Mmmm, it's the Internet. You're
busy, Let's do this. Welcome to

2
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,679
the Game Mess Deicides podcast. This
is the podcast where we decide everything about

3
00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:35,119
the world of games, so you
never have to think for yourself. I'm

4
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:40,240
your host, Jeff Grab With me
is Mike Manati. Today's episode, the

5
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,960
Division three was announced, Embracer is
still weird as hell, and the best

6
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,479
Games of two thousand and three.
We'll get to that in the second half

7
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,600
of the show. For now,
Mike, how are you doing. I'm

8
00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:53,880
doing pretty good. Yeah. Actually, yeah, for the first time in

9
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,520
a long time, I'm drinking a
beer during today's show. It's been a

10
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,880
long time, but I feel like
I deserved a little treat. Oh yeah,

11
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,880
you're earned one for sure. Absolutely. You don't need who needs that

12
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760
gray matter? Get rid of that
gray matter? Just drink. Drink,

13
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:07,000
you drink. Mike. It's been
a I don't know, it's been a

14
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,120
weird news week. Lots of stuff
happening, lots of games are still happening.

15
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:14,239
But I don't know how you've been. Yeah, I've been good at

16
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,760
busy. Guested on a couple of
things this week, so that's been fun.

17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,120
Was on the Trivia Tower, I
was on game that tune. It's

18
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,560
a lot of a lot of fun
stuff. You know, Mike, he's

19
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,640
in demand, Jeff, that's right. So it's never been more in demand.

20
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,000
Uh, inflation has come from Mike
Manadi. I'm not gonna pay you

21
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,799
more, but you know, still
that's I think that's completely You could have

22
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:37,599
predicted that, but no, it's
nice to see. If for now one

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,680
people ask me to do podcast,
I'm be like, no, just get

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,120
Mike Instent. You were on the
circuit for a while and you're like,

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,840
I said no. You started saying
like, I just can't do it anymore.

26
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:49,120
Do it too much for my day
job. Please leave me alone.

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,159
I wanted to do nixt this weekend, but we're going to a thing this

28
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,000
weekend, so I can't. He
actually like, I'm gonna be busy at

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,519
the Cleveland Gaming Convention, Classic thing
of the Bob Cleveland Gaming Classic, Yes,

30
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:04,599
Gaming Classic. I'm yeah, I'm
really looking forward to that. It's

31
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,879
gonna be a good time. Hopefully
we'll get there and there'll still be plenty

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,560
of good deals, fun stuff.
Yeah, because there's like an early day

33
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,240
out tomorrow night, so I don't
know what that that means. I'm hoping

34
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,039
the vendors aren't cleaned out. I
assume it'll be fine if it's going till

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Sunday. But I'm bringing some I'm
bringing some money to spend. Jeff,

36
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,000
I got spending money. For spending
money, He's gonna spend it. I'm

37
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,199
looking forward to seeing who we could
find any treasures for you. It'll be

00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:47,120
Add free Mike, We got some
news you want to talk about it?

60
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:52,960
Yeah, the Division three was announced
in a press release. It's interesting,

61
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Yeah, kind of in a tweet, kind of in a tweet.

62
00:03:55,759 --> 00:04:00,159
This makes me think Ubisoft say,
hey, I wish our stock price was

63
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:05,680
doing better. Hey, that's investors
think we don't have a lot of stuff

64
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,479
coming. But what do we just
tell we have stuff coming. It's like,

65
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,800
that's what this makes me think of. And it was part of like

66
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,680
announcing who's going to be in charge
of the Division. Now, yeah,

67
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,639
this person's a charge of all our
Division projects. By the way, that

68
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:24,160
includes the Division three, which surprised
who we are making, right, Not

69
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,560
very surprising that they're making another Division, I guess maybe a little surprising.

70
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,519
You've got surprising in terms of like
I'm sure they're doing that. I mean

71
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,120
they're making that mobile one which actually
played some of them, and it's pretty

72
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,240
fully featured for a mobile game.
Division two did pretty well and like got

73
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,480
to Destiny level but not bad.
It certainly was like better than an anthem,

74
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:46,519
better than a lot of these shalooters
do. Also, it was a

75
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,639
good game. Actually always liked it
when I played Division two. It was

76
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,519
a good improvement from Division one.
So I'm kind of looking forward to a

77
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,959
Division three, to be honest.
Yeah, and yeah, I'll play a

78
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,680
Division. I've always or would've played
a Division. But you know, this

79
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,680
is you we saw going back to
one of its franchises and then you be

80
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,920
SAFT that's maybe maybe been going more
towards stuff like Star Wars. I mean,

81
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,600
this is massive, the Massive Entertainment, the studio that is working on

82
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:16,680
Star Wars. It's not just the
studio. Julian Garretty, who is who

83
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:23,879
you mentioned, is overtaking the division
Division two and overseeing the Division three.

84
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,800
He is the person responsible for Star
Wars Outlaws. So it's like, okay,

85
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:30,120
yeah, so they're not just like
gonna be like, well, we're

86
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,160
all in on Star Wars now.
Even if Star Wars Outlaws does great,

87
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:36,040
we're still gonna make it a Division
game as well. It's like, Okay,

88
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,839
I guess I did always expect that
to be the case, but it

89
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,240
is. I guess I thought there
was a possibility maybe they would lean away

90
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,279
from their own stuff a little bit
more since they're so focused on Assassin's Creed

91
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:49,759
as like that's the thing Youse makes, and then we're gonna do a bunch

92
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:54,199
of license games. But you know, no, I guess it's actually,

93
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,120
when I think about it, not
too surprising at all. Right, And

94
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,959
a couple of things, so Massive
also making that Avatar game that's coming out

95
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,040
in December, so a lot of
people there winding down on that. I'm

96
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:06,680
sure a lot of them are helping
on Star Wars also, But there's you

97
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,720
know, I assume if they have
been typically working on two projects at a

98
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,680
time, kind of three, then, yeah, you can kind of shuffle

99
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,800
a lot of people onto this or
slowly. I'm sure this is probably pretty

100
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,680
early pre production stuff, not when
you know before Division two kind of had

101
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,680
to go against Destiny two at the
height of its power. I know Destiny

102
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,079
Too is still doing well, Jeff, but I feel like there's probably a

103
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,560
pretty good there's probably a better chance
for a Division three in a world where

104
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,560
it still doesn't seem like there's really
going to be a follow up to Destiny,

105
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,199
Like as someone liked me and I
imagine I'm not alone, is much

106
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,480
more likely to try a new game
in a Division three than to just jump

107
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,920
back into Destiny Too. Yes,
right that, And I mean, I

108
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:50,560
know that's the audience these days.
Are a lot of people who love to

109
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,920
have these forever games, but there's
a lot of people out there who I

110
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:57,399
think who are like us that want
to have a fresh start and play it

111
00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:59,720
for a little bit, and we're
willing to pay the money to get into

112
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,800
one of the games if that's the
case. So I think this is the

113
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:08,519
right move for the Division to have
a new release every great every number of

114
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,360
years and long term support, like
and they're promising to continue supporting the Division

115
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,839
two. So the people who are
super into that, and there definitely are

116
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:19,160
people who are, they can continue
to be happy with that, and then

117
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,199
they'll probably also jump over to the
Division three as it gives them what they

118
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:26,680
want. Wonder what's setting, because
what the first one was kind of a

119
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,319
New New York during New York during
during the winter, just after the holiday,

120
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,279
so it had a lot of like
Christmas stuff. Two was DC and

121
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,000
that was fun. I remember it's
that hot, sticky DC two, which

122
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,680
I like it and had that air
and space museum level that I really liked.

123
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,160
So yeah, I hope they have
fun with a good setting. Again.

124
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:45,839
I hope it's not just like Chicago. I don't know that'd be a

125
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:47,240
little planned, but yeah, it
kind of maybe getting out to get out

126
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:49,839
of the eastern half of the United
States, uh, I don't know,

127
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,240
or let's do it, yeah,
or go even further south or something like

128
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:57,160
that. There's there's some fun stuff
they could do. I'll look forward to

129
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:01,959
it as well. Uh more news
out of the Xbox League. It's it's

130
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,199
not I don't know, let's recap
it, because it's like people continue to

131
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,040
make it sound like it is the
biggest thing in the world. And I

132
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:13,000
just I think Christopher Dreen who said
so like the Xbox League, is that

133
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,240
there might be a new console in
eight years after the last one. There

134
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,639
will be a midgen hardware update.
But this is going to make games and

135
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,240
it's popular franchises, and Xbox is
updating their control or three years after they

136
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,439
said they probably would. It's when
you put it like that sounds very very

137
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:33,360
bland in vanilla and kind of like
confirmations of stuff we mostly already knew.

138
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,200
Yeah, I think I'm with you
on this one. I don't think there's

139
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,039
it's interesting, of course, and
of course we're talking about there's not.

140
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:48,279
I don't think there's anything scandalous or
like damaging to them about this, right,

141
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,600
I mean, like even like someone
like the stuff like, oh no,

142
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,320
you know, we know Dishonored three
is happening, to be honest with

143
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,320
how much can change the video games. If they still told me next week

144
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,840
Division or Dishonored through is happening,
I'd still be surprised. Exactly, you

145
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:03,120
didn't cancel that, okay, right, yeah, exactly, It's totally possible.

146
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,519
Right. There's been a lot of
turmoil over at some of those studios,

147
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,600
a lot of turnover at those at
those studios, so yeah, that

148
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:13,960
would be it's still be a nice
surprise to see it confirmed that it's actually

149
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,679
coming out. Obviously there's like,
hey, they we saw how much money

150
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,679
they're willing to spend on or what
they think they would have to spend to

151
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,639
get something like Star Wars Jedi Survivor. It's three hundred or two hundred and

152
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,120
fifty million dollars. And then they
estimated Baalder Skate three at five million dollars

153
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,679
for its next runoff of Stadia.
That's you know, it's like, ahha,

154
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:35,039
that's funny because Baalder Skate three is
so so big. It's bigger than

155
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,440
anything, bigger than Jedi Survivor,
and it's oh yeah, but of course,

156
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,080
like who predicted that at the time, you know, all that kind

157
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,039
of stuff. So it's it's like
kind of fun to see the internal internal

158
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,720
workings. And I really appreciate this
insight. But at the same time,

159
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:52,799
if it's like just strict news,
it's like it's fun stuff to talk about.

160
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,840
But I mean, yeah, I
don't know how you kind of turn

161
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,000
this into anything more than that.
And this is before you know, Phil

162
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,720
Spencer got in there and just put
every team on a future hex in anyways

163
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:05,279
of yes, yeah, it's a
hex and based economy now, so I

164
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,159
expect that's what they're working on.
They you know, they also they did

165
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840
come out and address it and they
said, hey, that the leagues these

166
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:16,120
things are old, so like at
least a year old of some of it's

167
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,440
older than that, and a lot
of this stuff has changed. I'll be

168
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,639
surprised if most of it changes.
But like the next gen Xbox, the

169
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,759
one that they started talking about,
could have a different architecture than the X

170
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:31,759
eighty six chips they have been using
for the last two systems. I would

171
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:35,000
be surprised if they changed it.
But also it's totally possible. Uh.

172
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:39,519
The reason I think I would be
surprised is because it seems like they've committed

173
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,840
to it. And I think that
because the backwards compatibility team stopped working on

174
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:46,879
what they were working on and then
we haven't heard anything from them since.

175
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,840
Makes me think the thing that they're
working on is a backward compatibility tool to

176
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:56,320
get their games, the Xbox games
that are running on Xbox Series X and

177
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,240
Xbox One now to work on whatever
the next Xbox Is, So they have

178
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,600
years and years and years to get
that up and running and they might need

179
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,240
that, but they're also very good, So it's like that. I'm like

180
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,039
that kind of all fits together and
it's a little maybe a little conspiratorial,

181
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,519
but I don't think it's too far
off the mark either. So yeah,

182
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:16,279
I really though, we're still gonna
have to wait for them to come out

183
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:20,240
and say all these things because we
just don't know, like even the revised

184
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,039
controller, something that seems obvious.
Well, you know, another thing seemed

185
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:28,600
obvious that was on in this documentation
was that little Xbox Keystone, the little

186
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,399
streaming box. That thing is on
fuck at Phil Spencer's shelf behind him whenever

187
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,200
we see him these days, and
that the things were supposed to be out

188
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,440
by now, and it just wasn't. They decided against it. They decided,

189
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480
no, we're not going to release
it. So that could happen to

190
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,960
anything in the in these in these
documents, So yeah, we're just gonna

191
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,799
have to wait for them to confirm
it, all right. Embracer Is it

192
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,200
says it spends more on platform fees
than it does on game development, and

193
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,120
this is kind of him talking about
how happy is about the new Epic Game

194
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,279
Store policy, where it developers make
their games exclusive to Epic Game Store for

195
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,559
like six months or something like that. During that period they'll get one hundred

196
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,759
percent of the revenue share from those
games, and then after that it'll go

197
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:11,399
back to that twelve percent, which
is still much better than what happens on

198
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,279
Steam. He says, Obviously,
we'd like to pay less fees to platforms.

199
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:20,279
In reality, we are paying more
fees to platforms that we spend on

200
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600
game development every year, and if
you just think about that number, it's

201
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:26,759
crazy. So there are margins with
the platforms that I would preferably have within

202
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:31,480
building, within building more games,
and some more margins. But I think

203
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,919
it's great that Epic is trying is
they're trying to build a competitive platform,

204
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:37,519
and I think that's that's fair that, hey, you want Epic to keep

205
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,559
trying to keep Steam on their toes
something that large Wingerforce mentions. But also

206
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,399
I'm like, you probably could just
spend more on your games too. It's

207
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:52,000
like that's an issue. Yeah,
I don't know. This is this is

208
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,159
a company that has been laying people
off at studios, closing studios, and

209
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,240
now they're also talking about they're looking
for outside investments so they can avoid further

210
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:03,559
layoffs, and it's, oh,
come on, it's like, hey wants

211
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,360
to invest We're firing people, our
future doesn't look good. Who wants to

212
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,440
give us money? Exactly? So
this is this is a company that already

213
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,000
is in in trouble and looks like
rotten fruit. And who's gonna want to

214
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,879
go put their money into that when
it's like, no one, even if

215
00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,960
the games are good, this is
not a company that's making money anytime soon.

216
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:26,879
So we'll see. Do you think
Embracer Group is still a thing in

217
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,919
a year? Two years? Year, a year, it would be pretty

218
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:35,840
pessimistic. Two years, future looks
fuzzy, says Magic eight ball. Yeah,

219
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,360
yeah, mic Ball, the Magic
Mike Ball, which is our our

220
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:41,519
new segment here on Gay Messed de
Sides. It is the Magic Mike Ball.

221
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,480
I think we kind of keep hearing
bad news about Embracer just for the

222
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,840
next several months. Yeah, And
honestly, I don't know if that like,

223
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:52,279
it's hard to see that ever changing. It's like they're not in a

224
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,600
position where a game can be a
turnaround, not even talking about that,

225
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:58,480
They're not saying, oh, we
just need a hit. They're saying we

226
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,960
need investment. Yes, good good
luck, I don't know kind of to

227
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,759
eat. And that's an investment just
to keep people around, not to like

228
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,720
start big new projects. It's to
keep what they already have afloat that that

229
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,840
looks rough. Uh finally here Glenn
sco Scofield is leaving a Striking Distance.

230
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:18,799
Glenn Scofield was the CEO and founder
of Striking Distance, the studio that made

231
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,039
Callisto Protocol. It definitely failed to
meet expectations. We hear when we're the

232
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440
first couple of weeks we're here and
it's just sold about two two million copies,

233
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:30,960
and everyone was expecting it self closer
to five million copies. And the

234
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480
reason they were expecting that it is
because they spent a lot of money on

235
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:37,559
the game, north of one hundred
million dollars. So the game is considered

236
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,279
internally at Crafton the pub G company
to be a to be a flop.

237
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,039
And now the leadership and it's not
just Scofield, a coup O, the

238
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,080
CFO and the chief operating officer I
think also both left and now they're being

239
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:54,480
replaced by Uh yes, so I'm
getting a note here they should have kept

240
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:58,080
it in the pub G universe.
Of course, Famously, this game was

241
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,840
going to be in the pub g
universe and then break. A few months

242
00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:03,279
before released, They're like, actually, we're not going to do that anymore.

243
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:09,440
And I was furious. I was
so desperate to like see what that

244
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:16,279
even looked like. But yes,
this is Uh the studio is not closing,

245
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,559
though at least not yet. Uh
there is. That's like the chief

246
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,559
like creative director or whatever is taking
over the studio. So it's like,

247
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,519
I don't does that mean they're just
gonna keep updating this game and then it'll

248
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:31,639
just fizzle out or is this studio
gonna make something else? We honestly have

249
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:35,720
no idea at this point. Ye, but I don't know the big games

250
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:39,240
like this. You kind of hope
that like a studio like a Striking Distance

251
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:45,720
could come along and make something that
is going to be this successor to Dead's

252
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,080
Face. But we've seen this before
where that rarely ever works, and maybe

253
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,480
not rarely, but it's a difficult
thing to pull off, right, It

254
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,240
rarely works. I think it's fair
enough to say. And I mean the

255
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,679
funny thing here is that it kind
of worked well enough, like you got

256
00:15:56,679 --> 00:16:02,080
sevens and you sold too many cops
these. The problem here is what were

257
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,399
you expecting. How much did you
invest in this idea? It's probably too

258
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,320
much. And part of the pitch
was that it had to be this like

259
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,919
real triple a pretty game. I
think that's a flawed pitch with a new

260
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,120
studio and a new ip and maybe
at the time he said, well,

261
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:18,919
it's kind of those things, but
it's mostly a dead space. But then

262
00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,480
it doesn't play like a dead space, right, It doesn't have that kind

263
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:25,519
of shooter or shoot the limbs off
stuff, right, So it kind of

264
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:29,600
wanted to have its cake and eat
it too, calling back esthetically and and

265
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,480
marketing to dead Space as much as
possible. The gameplay kind of being this

266
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:37,879
weird beat them up thing that threw
a lot of people off. So yeah,

267
00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:41,159
I think it's punch out right.
People compared it to like a punch

268
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:48,679
out, Yeah, but not in
like you know, like that's kind of

269
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:51,120
how they minute. Man. I
mean, come on, two million.

270
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240
If you show me like that first
trailer it told me this game is gonna

271
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,440
sell two million copies, I would
say, wow, good for them.

272
00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:00,480
Yes, And I mean I think
the problem is it takes that much money

273
00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:04,640
just to get to two million copies, and that's that's rough. But I

274
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,519
mean, I you know, we
we also always say on the show,

275
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:11,359
like new studios come along, and
like all those Star Wars games they got

276
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,079
canceled at EA, like it was
those who weren't even new studios. A

277
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,480
lot of times some of them were, some of them weren't. But the

278
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,319
reason they got canceled is like,
this is new to us, and trying

279
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,200
to pull off a game like this
is going to take a lot of money,

280
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:26,119
and then we might only get sevens
and might only sell something like two

281
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,960
million copies, and a company are
like, Ea, it's like buck fuck,

282
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,799
no, no way that we're not
doing that. But it's like you

283
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,240
kind of have to go through those
growing pains to get to the next game

284
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:37,680
that could be even better. And
you know that's not always how it works.

285
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,799
I mean, you can just look
over respond. That's not the trajectory

286
00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:44,240
that the Star Wars Jedi games followed, but a lot of studios probably would

287
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,440
follow that. It's just those games
often get canceled. We'll see if this

288
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:49,720
studio does get a chance to try
this again, if they do, though,

289
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,640
it's got to be a much much
more affordable project. Right if we

290
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,759
get a Closer Protocol two or some
new game from this studio, there's no

291
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:03,160
way they're gonna get get one hundred
million dollar budget, right, No,

292
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:04,559
there's no way there's gonna They're gonna
have to figure something out. They're gonna

293
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:08,920
to streamline something. I don't know
if it's like the game itself or the

294
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,880
fidelity, but something's gonna have to
give. Yeah. In the see game

295
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,279
fire and chat mentions, they did
light people off a few weeks ago.

296
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:19,519
They were laying people off at at
striking distance. So yeah, Uh,

297
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:22,400
those are the big stories I have. Obviously, there's other things that happened

298
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,160
this week. But if if you
got anything you want to talk about,

299
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,559
you could send in a super chat
Mike, did I miss anything you wanted

300
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:32,319
to talk about? Uh? I
don't know. That's that's what I want

301
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:34,359
to hear. That's exactly what I
want to hear. Uh. You know,

302
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,200
I'll say I've been playing Phantom Liberty. Reviews are out for that.

303
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,440
I'll talk a little bit about that
and what we've been playing. But I've

304
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,960
been playing Separate Ways. The First
Evil for ye see and the Crew motorfests.

305
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,640
We're going to talk about that later, I guess. I mean TGS

306
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,160
has been happening. There hasn't been
necessarily crazy news. The Path Traveler two's

307
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,680
coming to Xbox. Uh, yeah, some the first Phoenix, right,

308
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,000
Trilo, did you come to Xbox
game Pass? That's coming to the game

309
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,279
Pass? So is some or yeah, CU's the stuff like or like a

310
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,680
dragon stuff? I should say it's
those kinds of announcements. I mean,

311
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,480
there was a lot of gameplay for
Dragons Dogma two, which I think looks

312
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,920
really good for that, but I
never really played much Dragons Dogland. I

313
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,640
kind of want to go back to
that and play it, but who knows

314
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,599
when all the fucking time. Yeah, it's it's it's The Traveler too for

315
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,319
PC. It's coming to PC as
well. Okay, yeah, cool?

316
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,200
I thought it was already on PC. Wasn't it already on PC? I

317
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,559
think it's already on PC. Christian, I saw x books and window and

318
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:33,440
announcement threat it's probably yes, it's
it's probably game Pass for PC or something

319
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,519
like that. It's already on PC, though, But yeah, you know,

320
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,599
I don't think about the funniest thing
from the league was when like people

321
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,359
like rand the news story of well
it turns out that Outer School six is

322
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:53,319
going to be exclusive to Xbox.
No, we I mean we talked about

323
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,599
that years ago. It feels like
at this point, yeah, it probably

324
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,200
was years ago, like but yeah, early on remember Pool reporting that,

325
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:03,440
and I don't know people, I
think people even then, it's like,

326
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,400
it's not like it's like it was
on a spreadsheet for two years ago.

327
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,519
Okay, like, yeah, it's
not even really a confirmation. But also

328
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,160
yeah, of course it's going to
be. Yeah, it's like, yeah

329
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,000
that they looked at the numbers,
you know, just to repeat this again,

330
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,519
they looked at the numbers of what
it would cost to make stuff exclusive

331
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:22,559
to Xbox and PC, and then
they looked at the amount of investment that

332
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,839
would return into when it comes to
getting people to sign up for game Pass,

333
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:29,920
and they're like, you know what, this is kind of an easy

334
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,119
choice. We're gonna lose a lot
of money and we're gonna get a lot

335
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,400
of game Pass subscribers, and that's
worth more to us in terms of the

336
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,240
price of doing business. So that's
what they decided with Starfield. Nothing has

337
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,599
changed when it comes to elder scrolls
six at least so far. That stuff

338
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:45,759
could change, but right now it
hasn't. All right, Yeah, when

339
00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:48,039
it was some super chats I would
want to take. Let's do at firsts

340
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:51,079
No, let's do a quick quick
break and then we'll get the super chats.

341
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:56,119
We'll be right back everybody, Yes, sir, Like we got a

342
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,039
handful of super chats. I would
love for you to read them. Big

343
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,200
Jimbo, Ryan says Sean. Congrats
on your new job, Mike, sweet

344
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,839
clean bill of health. Thank you, Christian, You're my favorite. Moud

345
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,799
and Jeff So thoughts on Alucard Call
of Duty smiley face, Jim, why

346
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:14,759

347
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:18,960
close, fan Jesus Nick Wait sorry
wait al Cart's in Call of Duty?

348
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,799
What the fuck is that mean?
I don't know. I thought you knew.

349
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,160
No, he's he's No, I
don't know anything about Alcard Call of

350
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:33,359
the mean which one? Well,
there's multiple alike cards, yes, are

351
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,720
there? Well, not only on
the on the gaming world, Like,

352
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:42,279
this is not the right Alucard.
Who is it? It's some dude looks

353
00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:47,759
like a fucking band anime? Yeah? Which which animals from the animate.

354
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,119
Oh my god, Christian put it. I just put it in from health.

355
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,559
Oh my god, it's so much
cooler than from the games. Oh

356
00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:03,279
my god. Christian wait, Christian
wait. I just want you to know

357
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,039
that nothing was ever more timed more
comedically to me than opening up this Jackasses

358
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:14,920
jack face and hearing you say this
is so much cooler. It looks like

359
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:22,200
a fucking joke. It looks like
the characters so much. This guy looks

360
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,000
like Jim. Yeah. Yeah,
that's exactly right. Looks like a knockoff

361
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:30,319
version of the mask. This is
okay. This so it's got Jacqueline and

362
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,400
eyes. I hate no, this
is this looks like shit. But watch

363
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,960
the anime is so fucking oh yeah, I'll get right on this for fun,

364
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,279
all right. He kills Nazis for
fun. He's so good. Yeah.

365
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:47,400
Next super chant here from Nick.
If the switch to is backwards compatible,

366
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,440
do you think Nintendo would do the
one tender upgrade path for new versions

367
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,519
of Pass games if you already own
them? I read that as one hundred

368
00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:56,559
dollars as well the first time,
me too. I don't know why,

369
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:00,640
it's just brained stuff. If the
switch I think, I don't know.

370
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:07,400
Possibly I just seems so inelegant,
but Nintendo's inelegant. I think there's either

371
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,200
just not going to be much in
the way of upgrades or that stuff will

372
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,119
just be like a free bonus.
If it's there, I'm I'm with you.

373
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,960
Layer says, Did I make it
here in time for the Dan Rucker

374
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:21,519
Cooking watch party? No? I
think he finished cooking running went online something.

375
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,119
He didn't burn anything, though,
looks like you didn't say anything on

376
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:29,480
fire. I was on watching him. It's some he had to like reread

377
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,440
the instructions, just like I do
when I cook those things. Babba is

378
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:37,400
Me says If anyone is thinking about
a Resume before it's on sale everywhere this

379
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,160
week, I will probably pick it
up since I never played the original,

380
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,640
keep up the good work. Thank
you, Bob as me, and yeah,

381
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,000
people should buy Resume before. Yeah, I owned that game. You

382
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:48,599
sure do, and you're gonna have
to play it in a couple of weeks.

383
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,559
Yeah, a couple of weeks.
Input video here says ordered an iced

384
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:59,400
pumpkin nutty coffee at Duncan today,
loving the three nutty pumps in my drink.

385
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:03,279
That was the first time. Super
Chat from input video here and a

386
00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:08,279
really strong one, really strong guy
there all right? Are Jeff j D?

387
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:15,000
Bev d you Fudd says found you
guys from Giant Bom. You're both

388
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,799
amazing. There's a game in the
next couple of years. I want to

389
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:26,680
be po Okay, if if this
person has Poe, who can we be

390
00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:30,039
in a teetubties game. I only
remember too, No, there's that purple

391
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,039
one. Everyone was afraid of that
at real fucked up name. Uh yeah,

392
00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:36,160
I'm just saying I only remember the
name of Poe. I mean I

393
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,000
remember the other colors. Well,
okay, I know purple, dipsy,

394
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:47,000
La, La, and Poe.
I'm the son. Are you to be

395
00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:48,640
clear? John, you're making fun
of us because we don't know the names

396
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:55,400
of the I am loving my youth
in your face. Okay, what do

397
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,440
you grow up? What was her? Like? Parties? Was the preschool

398
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,720
thing? Bart? I know,
Barney's old. I'm old. Uh huh

399
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,880
next to way older than that ship. Oh but bar I remember, But

400
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,680
bar was the Rby's kids meal toy
for because they had nothing else, so

401
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:19,000
Arby's rules, they could get no
other sponsor. Barlet's you know they don't

402
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,599
need anything else. The strength of
their food is enough. What was Babar

403
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:26,240
Bars? Is an elephant that wore
a crown for some reason. I think

404
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,240
it was King of the Elephants.
Yeah yeah, Okay, well listen,

405
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,319
I'm not saying it was some fucking
like bang at you. I'm not laughing

406
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,240
at you. I'm not laughing at
you. You're correct. I just find

407
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,519
the counts of the Babbar really funny. Yeah, but he's not cool.

408
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,880
Yes, I you gotta break back
Babar. Yeah, but barring call of

409
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,920
duty, let's go. Fan of
twenty three says just went to right in

410
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,240
to tell Mike that a really good
eight K version of Fantastic for Disneyland is

411
00:25:56,279 --> 00:26:00,200
going to be posted on YouTube very
soon. Okay, I want it is

412
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,039
like official Disney stuff. Is this? Uh, before the Dragon caught on

413
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:07,559
fire? I don't think they've even
been running fantasmic? Is this you talked

414
00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:11,039
about this on one of your episodes
of nineties Disney I think recently. But

415
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,119
what you're asking, what is Fantastic? Yeah? I'm trying to replace it.

416
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,799
It's like there's it's like some show
you watch and then the dragon comes

417
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:21,279
down? Is it is Mickey and
the robes in this Yeah, Mickey's in

418
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:25,240
the robes at one point, and
he's kind of iconically and his sorcerer robes

419
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,160
in this Yes, okay, okay. El Gregg says what happens first a

420
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,359
two day Zoda or a new Star
Fox. Also given the injuries to the

421
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,960
Browns Congress of Jeff winning the football
bet from two weeks ago, man that

422
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,240
that was not that was not a
feel good happy games. I've still not

423
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:44,160
seen the injury and I don't want
to watch it. Somebody's like showing me

424
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,240
the phone and I saw like a
second of it is like instinctively closed by.

425
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:51,759
I was like, no, you
can't say anymore. Already so displaced

426
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,839
his knee and there was so much
more video left. I was like that,

427
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:56,640
I don't want to see how far
that's going away from the joint.

428
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,119
I heard the crowd reaction when they
watched it live and then and Kraigman was

429
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,079
like, we're not gonna show it
there, Joe buck Er, someone said

430
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:06,480
we're not gonna show it to you, but you could hear the crowd react

431
00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:08,640
and they were just and it's Pittsford
crowd and they're like, please don't show

432
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,440
this to us. Oh my God, and I'm like, okay, fuck

433
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,640
it man, Please know anyway,
so what's first, new two D's Zeta

434
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,079

gonna New two D's Zella. I'll say

435
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,119
New Star Fucks. And then to
be a contrarian fair enough, Yeah,

436
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,599
you know I both are just as
likely. It seems like. Actually,

437
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,759
Jerry says, Hey, guys,
just want to remind you that Batman Dark

438
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:32,920
Tomorrow came out in two thousand and
three, so you can play accordingly.

439
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:36,119
Keep up the great there we go. That's games in two thousand and three.

440
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,920
Let's go. Yeah. Tenderk says
the Apollo trailer Apolo Justice trailer was

441
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,920
fantastic. Why are there a ton
of games releasing in the last week of

442
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,519
January first week of February time period. I didn't see the new trailer.

443
00:27:47,559 --> 00:27:49,079
I mean I played all those games
before. I'm very excited. I mean

444
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:51,680
I'm not excite. I'm not no, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not

445
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,240
gonna go play those games again.
Visual novels, I love them, but

446
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:57,480
I don't necessarily need to play them
again, like maybe like like fifteen years,

447
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,039
like there was kind of what you
did with You're ad introducing games.

448
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,240
Yeah, yeah, so I'm play
maybe i'll play those games again. You

449
00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:07,599
have a good memory, that's your
curse, yes, exactly. So yeah,

450
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,240
it's just just just going through dival
options. But hey, I liked

451
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,119
I liked all those. I mean, Apologistice is good. I actually liked

452
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,119
to the three DS. One's a
good bit. Uh Dual Destinies and Spirit

453
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,920
of Justice fun stuff. Do you
think there's eight chance you're gonna like?

454
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,279
How much of Fix Right have you
ever played? Again? Remind me zero,

455
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,200
I think you're like, try Phoenix
Right one if it's not gonna be

456
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,000
on game pass. Sure, I
probably wouldn't even played on game Pass.

457
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:33,079
I just I need to sure,
I just need a reason to go try

458
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,000
them. I bet I'll like them. I think, you know, I

459
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,160
think I play. I've started one
of them once when I like had a

460
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,480
hack to DS at some point,
but I just at that point it was

461
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:45,559
like there was so much on an
offer that I tried something else immediately after.

462
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,079
Oh yeah, assume, Mex says, using my first super chick to

463
00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:52,240
say that Ala Cart from Housing is
super cool. It is the best version

464
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,640
of al the Cart and let the
show what Thank you, Mex well if

465
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,079
you give you guys, say,
so, what did Rebecca said? Have

466
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,880
fun? I guess I have fun? I guess. Uh. That's that's

467
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,240
it. Form the supertests for now. Thank you all so much for all

468
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:10,200
of those. Appreciate it. Thank
you. All right, Okay, so

469
00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:15,759
gonna I'm not gonna take this fucking
Alucar slander because the fucking cald Duty it's

470
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:18,599
about to move him. But you
need him in here. Huh. He's

471
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,440
getting pretty talky for the guy's just
supposed to be in the back recording.

472
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,880
Yeah, if Yousten, Mike,
you gotta do what you gotta do.

473
00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:30,079
I understand. I'm trying to look
at like, what was the first appearance

474
00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:33,440
of Alucard, like as as as
a concept. Oh, I think he

475
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,759
was an official Dracula thing. He's
he was definitely and he's definitely in Son

476
00:29:36,759 --> 00:29:41,279
of Dracula. I remember that.
Yeah, is he he? Is he

477
00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:42,960
in the books? Is he in
the public domain? But it was really

478
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,359
my questions, like I assum I
don't know book for him. There were

479
00:29:47,359 --> 00:29:49,400
sequels to Dracula. I think maybe
there was just a book called Dracula.

480
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,720
Then we only got sequels when it
became a movie. So maybe the movie

481
00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:56,119
Bright of Uh, Right of Dracula, whatever it's called, is the first

482
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:59,640
time, right, No, Son
of Dracula is the one he's in Son

483
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,200
of dra Excuse me, I like
I want to watch like some old like

484
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:06,319
you know, I kind of I
am. I've been in the movie for

485
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,559
Universal Monster movies as well. This
is this is why it's a shame that

486
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:11,519
we didn't get the Dark Universe so
we could get a whole new series of

487
00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:15,720
monster movies. Yeah, but that
new Universal theme Park in Orlando is going

488
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:21,480
to have a Classic Universal Monsters section
next to Nintendo World. Yeah, but

489
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:23,160
you know I need my con cruise, you know I do? Well?

490
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:26,519
Yeah, Okay, you know what, Let's take one more quick break while

491
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:30,079
we get set up for the next
half of the show. We'll be right

492
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:34,119
back after this. We're back.
There's my armpit hair. Sorry everybody,

493
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,119
Mike, Mike, Mike. We're
got a show here, a show within

494
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,599
a show. I can never wear
I can never wear a tank top.

495
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,079
I'm sorry, I had had the
top. I think, do you desire?

496
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:47,559
Do you have desire to ashamed of
my arm pits? I'm no,

497
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,799
I have no desires. I'm too
ashamed of my art pits. I'd feel

498
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:52,359
so uncomfortable if people could see my
arm pits. What the hell you got

499
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,519
going on under there? I don't
know. It's just I just don't feel

500
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:59,839
like like it feels like it feels
like a naughty part. It feels like

501
00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:03,200
personal part the other people shouldn't see. Yeah, that's why some people are

502
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,079
into it. Yeah, right,
exactly, That's why Nick Turbot and Chatti

503
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:11,480
Stain show us again right now.
Yeah, Mike, Yeah, it's been

504
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:12,799
listening. If you wore tank tops, all people would be talking about is

505
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:17,720
your body hair, Like yeah,
I still have incredibly like hairy shoulders.

506
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,279
Jesus Christ, that would happen,
and I don't want to deal with that.

507
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:22,240
I don't want to have to deal
with that on your behalf. That's

508
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:30,519
that's my should Yeah. Yeah,
okay, everyone shave some of my chest

509
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:36,160
from my sleepap in a test because
I like monitor here. But just like,

510
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,119
this part of my chest is weird. I saw that pool side stream

511
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:41,079
though. One time. I was
just like, there's no way this is

512
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:45,960
doctor this camp. I'm very hairy. He's his hair filly. Like I

513
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
said, I was over it.
I'm over I don't want to talk about

514
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:52,799
let's leave Mike's body hair out of
this anyways, I'm trying to pass through.

515
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:56,440
Yeah, what's going on with the
middle? Your solid? And this

516
00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:59,960
is not the Trinity one or over
the fun they're going for. That's the

517
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:02,839
Collection one, two, and three. I mean some of this stuff,

518
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,880
I'm like, well, what are
you expecting? So when people are upset

519
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,519
that these games like aren't really getting
a lot of a boost in the collection,

520
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,359
Like but Ogre Solid one, we
just want no matter what's still it's

521
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,160
still thirty fps and it's still gonna
be feel like I just want her back?

522
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,680
What I feel like? Should I
just won her back? It's it's

523
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,960
a meme, Mike, don't worry
about it. But these games aren't on

524
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,920
sale on most digital stores anymore.
Like just getting them back is kind of

525
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,680
what we want here, right,
are they give? That's what me and

526
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,039
you want. I think a lot
of people were expecting, like are they

527
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,680
ruining the games? Mike? That's
the four K. No, everything seems

528
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,119
fine unless you're really upset about it
not being a four K. The one

529
00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:40,720
thing that is respect Yeah, the
one thing that is upsetting me, it

530
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:45,519
is a bummer, is that the
switch versions of two and three on handheld

531
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:51,400
and TV mode are running at thirty
phrase percent. Yes, that's that's that's

532
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,519
unacceptable to me. Those are places
you do games. Ye, that's insane.

533
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:59,279
Absolutely. So part of it is
that two and three HD on PS

534
00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:01,359
three three six were so good as
collections. It's like, well, why

535
00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:07,519
not just port that work over?
Instead they're doing very bare bones emulation and

536
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:09,480
people are just like, well,
we had the good stuff, why aren't

537
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:13,680
she giving us the good stuff?
Yeah? I mean I get that,

538
00:33:13,759 --> 00:33:16,759
But like I do want these versions
preserved as well and available, So this

539
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:20,440
is what it takes to get these
versions as well. This is still kind

540
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,079
of what I want, man,
I bet, I bet they do that

541
00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:25,079
stuff, but eventually as well,
and if that people are frustrated by that,

542
00:33:25,079 --> 00:33:29,559
that's fair. Curious. I guess
I'll be curious to see yeah,

543
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,240
kind of yea, I guess I
want to see it from U. I'm

544
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,039
not going to get the Switch version
now though, which is a bummer.

545
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:35,559
I guess I'll just get the PC. And like I didn't think that this

546
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,559
was a game, I'm going to
be like I had to play this on

547
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:43,079
Steam set to get an optimal experience
from fucking metal gear solid too, but

548
00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:45,279
weird. Okay, all right,
Uh, there's the closest to the Messy

549
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:51,079
Pin. I believe sean podcast within
a podcast. Go ahead and shoot absolutely

550
00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:53,759
game show with that podcast, so
I won't get too much shit. But

551
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,799
that's right closest to the Messy Pin. Volume sixteen. It's been a hot

552
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,880
minute, but we're back. It's
being presented by me Turbo Shawn. It's

553
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:06,160
powered by Metacric. It's executively produced
as always by Benji Bop. Let me

554
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,679
run y'all through the rules here.
Every round, the boys will be given

555
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,840
a certified retro game that means it
is older than ten years or ten years

556
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,360
exactly. Rarely happens, but it's
possible. The goal is to predict the

557
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,599
game's Metacritic score as a stance on
metacritic dot com. We'll be using it

558
00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:29,880
closest to the pink scoring system,
which means that the Boys will guests each

559
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,280
point deviate they are from the actual
score, they will gain one point at

560
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,239
the end of the game. Lowest
score wins. It's golf rules, you

561
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,320
know how that works. If the
boys guess the exact score correctly in steph

562
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,840
getting zero, they will deduct five
points from their total score. Now I

563
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:52,000
did my due diligences away. Mike
won the scared one from our Starfield episode,

564
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,760
so Jeff will be picking first.
I need you to tell me,

565
00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:00,519
Jeff, what you think the game
has after. What the the hell is

566
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:05,360
this note from the editor. Hey
Metacritic, if you're watching, which i'd

567
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,199
like to think you are, it's
bob. Your new website layout is not

568
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:13,880
very usual friendly and is ten times
harder and navigate. It would be super

569
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,239
cool if you could fix the fact
that you can't middle click links to a

570
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,079
new tab anymore. But also having
one main page it only shows one platforms

571
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,840
information and release state and you bury
the rest of the information on our platforms

572
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,960
scores and release info is really super
lame. That's probably screwing over Wolf too

573
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,199
in his thing. Huh. I
might legitimately switched to open crick over this.

574
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,639
That's how unfriendly your new website layout. It is looks nicer, though

575
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:40,519
definitely work consider some ui ux improvements. Press their site did already suck.

576
00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:44,960
I actually hated meta. I hate
it when you go to metacritic dot com.

577
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,239
You go there to look for like
the new release, searching for it.

578
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,920
Yeah, right, So what is
going on here? How is that

579
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,920
just not pinned somewhere anyway? Wolf
says in a chat, it is very

580
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,119
much screwing him over. They were, they were very proud of it in

581
00:35:58,119 --> 00:36:01,360
the hands meeting. All right,
let's keep on anyway, right, that's

582
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:07,840
here, I need to tell me
what you think. Fallout three the PS

583
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:13,679
three version, mind You, released
October twenty eight, twenty eight fifty seven

584
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:20,760
correct reviews. Has imatcrect dot com. Huh, fallow three October twenty eight,

585
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,360
twenty eight fifty seven credits from on
the PS three though that's tough because

586
00:36:27,079 --> 00:36:30,239
that's the game's always fucking sucked on
the p S three Skyroomer Meta critic really

587
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,920
differentiating between those two, like I
have find artably, fifty seven people reviewed

588
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,360
just the PS three version of this
game. Are you sure? I think

589
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,920
that's The scores are different. It's
always questions like questionable. I mean,

590
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,639
they're different, They're gonna be different, but this is different. No.

591
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,760
Metacritic definitely, like was dividing them. But whether or not the reviews they

592
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,039
were pulling from were accurately reporting what
what platform they were playing on, or

593
00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:54,239
if there was just something to assume
there. I have no idea, but

594
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,320
I'm gonna go with saying that they
probably did have mostly PS three reviews here,

595
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:06,079
and I'm gonna say in eighty nine, I think it's still relatively high,

596
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,800
but I think the PS three version
wasn't quite as good. Okay,

597
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,840
mikey, I think any nine and
this game was very well liked. But

598
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,159
even then, I wonder if the
three sixty version was even like in the

599
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,920
nineties. I'm not sure, so
I'll be a little bit more concerted to

600
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,280
say eighty seven, eighties seven,
all right, still in that ballpark there,

601
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:32,800
well follow three sits at a ninety
Shit, you're very close to Jeff

602
00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:37,599
yep. Pretty sure that game was
in the nineties. That's I do.

603
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,719
That was really below right, Yeah, it was good? Right, Like

604
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,480
that was like that's really maybe my
first threel go out of Western style RPG.

605
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:49,960
Honestly, Oh really, you didn't
play? That was kind of like

606
00:37:50,039 --> 00:37:52,639
after that was like then I played
Oblivion, played Tour even I went back

607
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:57,199
to Cochur after Oh really, okay, like that whole console generation was when

608
00:37:57,199 --> 00:38:00,840
I finally played those games. I
had kind of a I would dabble with

609
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,239
them, but didn't really get it
until then. Cool for me. It

610
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,400
was also filled buzz New Vegas,
so a bit different there a bit later.

611
00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:12,880
Butt's just all right. Game number
two Dishonored for the Xbox three,

612
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,559
sixty October ninth, twenty twelve,
fifty six critic reviews. Mike, Yeah,

613
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,320
so not new, not as beloved
as a Fault three, but pretty

614
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,440
well liked. I want to say
that I know I just said this one,

615
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:30,519
but now I think we have an
eighty seven. Okay, also,

616
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:35,239
I think we I think I know
the theme as well. No way,

617
00:38:36,199 --> 00:38:43,559
let's say I get it. I'm
gonna go within eighty eight. Okay,

618
00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:47,159
eighty eight? One upmanship, I
see, I see? Okay? Literally,

619
00:38:49,360 --> 00:39:00,079
well, Dishonored sits at what roots? Jeff gets five. Dance it'll

620
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:07,639
dance, not going my way?
Oh boy, it'll dance. Okay,

621
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,599
I'll date for the audio listeners.
That means Jeff is in the lead with

622
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,480
negative four points. Mike has four
on the board. Kay, number three,

623
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,719
can we can we do freaking still
Battalion again? And he'll think it's

624
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,440
the wrong one or something. Oh
don't you got a chance, I mean,

625
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,599
you never know. Bob always tries
to throw us a curveball. He

626
00:39:25,679 --> 00:39:30,519
use a curveball. Number three is
the elder Scrolls five Skyrim. Not much

627
00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:36,000
of a curveball, but it is
the PC version. November eleventh, twenty

628
00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:38,679
eleven, eleven eleven eleven. Who
could forget? Thirty two craick reviews for

629
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:45,719
this one, Jeff the PC version
of Skyrim. I think I remember moving

630
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:51,159
my save from Xbox three sixty to
the PC because it was even more beloved.

631
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:58,679
I'm gonna go with a ninety three. God, that's what I wanted

632
00:39:58,679 --> 00:40:01,320
to say. You're kidding me.
No, I would never joke with you.

633
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:05,360
Ninety two God, I wanted ninety
three. It's ninety three, so

634
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,400
mad ninety two I'm gonna be mad
because then you're throwing a hissy fit already.

635
00:40:08,519 --> 00:40:13,400
M m. This is this is
why we would cast Jason Alexander as

636
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Mike. Oh trust me. Anyways, the other Scrows five Skyrim on the

637
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:27,480
PC got ninety four. Whyn't I
go up? I want to call it.

638
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:30,719
I wanted to say ninety four two, but I was too afraid to

639
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:38,559
go that high. Okay. Game
number four Doom three for the PC August

640
00:40:38,639 --> 00:40:43,760
third, two thousand and four,
eighty three correct reviews. Mike, mm

641
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,800
hmm, that's a weird one because
like Doom three was liked, but it's

642
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,159
such a weird game. This is
a hard one to parse. It is

643
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,639
hard. Yeah, it's hard.
I feel like it's probably I don't say

644
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,360
this gives weird I feel like it
came out and was like yeah, and

645
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,679
then like almost immediately the opinion lowered, and then it kind of had a

646
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,360
glow up again. It's so different
from every other Doom is the problem.

647
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:13,599
It's so much its own thing.
I went eighty six. It was probably

648
00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:16,079
too low. Oh, I don't
know. I'll give you a second.

649
00:41:16,119 --> 00:41:19,840
If you watching, let's go with
it eighty six. I gotta go with

650
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:27,079
it now, all right, Jeff, I don't know. I think this

651
00:41:27,159 --> 00:41:30,079
is tough because I didn't I never
really played much Doom three, So I

652
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:34,719
remember working at Subway and waiting for
this game to come out, and we're

653
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,800
hearing the reviews and being not so
impressed by the reaction, and then I'm

654
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,840
like, I'll save my money.
But I think Mike's probably still right that

655
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:45,239
higher was is safer here, So
I'm gonna go with eighty seven. I

656
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,559
think a lot of people were like
this. This compares unfavorably to Half Life

657
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:53,239
two. What I kind of remember? All right, Doom three, the

658
00:41:53,280 --> 00:42:06,000
original I wish I had a flashlight
game sits at seven once again, Jeff

659
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:09,159
gets five points and knocked off the
total. Why didn't I say eighty seven?

660
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:17,239
Oh boy, that's too low?
And then with seven on the board,

661
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:22,760
Jeff is ahead by fifteen points with
a negative aids well, I mean,

662
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:23,519
like, if you want to feel
better, I'm just right to comment.

663
00:42:23,559 --> 00:42:27,119
Nick Trbo said I was working at
Subway and he was in kindergarten.

664
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,360
So now I'm upset too. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm

665
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,599
over. I'm over. I get
it. I'm older than all your children.

666
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:37,960
I get it. Game number five
here, no, I can't.

667
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:45,719
Well, maybe you get exactly rights
on the PlayStation two February twenty four,

668
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:52,119
twenty three, seventeen, Craig re
reviews, here's your curveball Jeff uh Nanna

669
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:57,480
Jones and the Emperor's two month lay
Station two. I don't I think I

670
00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:01,519
gotta go with some like the middle
of the road number. I'm gonna go

671
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:13,039
with the seventy seven. Okay,
okay, if it's really badly reviewed,

672
00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:14,960
Mike, you could win this one. I know. I think I'm gonna

673
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:22,760
go more like us A sixty two. Okay, is that enough? Yeah,

674
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,480
Mike's going with sixty two, Jeff
is going with the middle of the

675
00:43:28,559 --> 00:43:37,719
road seventy seven, and the Emperor's
two replay Station two has a sixty five

676
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:45,960
Eat my fucking Poopies, which means
at the end of the game, Mike

677
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:49,400
has ten points, Jeff has far
Jeff is your winner for the evening.

678
00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:53,760
I thought it. I thought I
came back with that. No, absolutely

679
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,679
not, Mike, what are you
thinking? Wait, no, you do

680
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,280
the math in your head. You
second believe you. But I'm embarrassed.

681
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,719
I told you to eat popes.
I thought you were saying it. I

682
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,679
thought you're saying it, eat my
poopies partheses negative, not eat my poopies

683
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:14,800
parthesiason positive. Yes, I was
there as a celebration, so okay,

684
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,880
damn it. Uh yeah, I
was up by fifteen and you that you

685
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,159
had to get it had to be
exactly right for you to have a chance

686
00:44:21,199 --> 00:44:27,679
to win. Yeah, you're right. Well, shit, that was a

687
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,599
good one. That was. I
had a lot of fun. Let's your

688
00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:32,480
opinion, man, that was I
think we should do that exact thing over

689
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,840
and over again. All right,
thanks for that, Sean, I appreciate

690
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,480
it. We're gonna go ahead and
get set up now for the best Game

691
00:44:40,599 --> 00:44:44,760
of two thousand and three. We're
gonna do that just by clicking this one

692
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,800
button over here. We take a
quick break so I can use the restaurant.

693
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,320
We're gonna take a quick break and
scream into a pillow, and we're

694
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,079
gonna be right back after this.
Mike here, you can redeem yourself by

695
00:44:55,119 --> 00:45:00,599
knowing the best Game of two thousand
and three. We're doing Waker Scam of

696
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:02,159
the Year two thousand and three,
everybody. We've been doing this for a

697
00:45:02,159 --> 00:45:06,079
while. Last week was a Game
of the Year two thousand and two that

698
00:45:06,119 --> 00:45:08,599
was Metro Prime. We both just
screamed that one out. We're gonna go

699
00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:12,039
through this. We're gonna figure out
the top five games. I will talk

700
00:45:12,039 --> 00:45:16,199
about more than five games though,
starting right now by me putting Bludgers all

701
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,400
to Windwaker right up here on this
list. Yeah short was down here,

702
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,199
but still yeah it wasn't. Didn't
make it last time because it came out

703
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:28,719
of Japan in twos two but not
in the US two thousand three. Uh,

704
00:45:29,199 --> 00:45:31,079
gosh, I love this game.
I loved it when it came out

705
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,840
so much, even you know,
I know a lot of people maybe didn't

706
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,960
like the look of it at first
and came around to it. I loved

707
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,920
this game from that very first teaser
trailer. I love the way it looked.

708
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,719
I loved that style. I loved
how expressive Link and all the characters

709
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:51,920
were. And then it played even
better than that. The sailing was just

710
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,119
so interesting to me. Link moves
better. That combat just has a little

711
00:45:57,119 --> 00:46:00,239
bit more death here. With some
of the dodges, you can do some

712
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:06,079
really good dungeons. Uh. Just
just still my favorite Zelda game. I

713
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:08,159
keep hoping they release it on Switch
as I get played again again, even

714
00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:13,079
though they played through it quite a
few times by now. Yeah, it's

715
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,079
it's one of those it's like a
timeless game. Yeah, it's when so

716
00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:20,800
many timeless Nintendo games are coming out, and this is maybe the most timeless

717
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,960
of all of them. Oh yeah, breaking news games. Let's see,

718
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,920
Oh really, shit later than normal? Let's way got start time change in

719
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,119
Japan? What's going on? That's
the way they do this eleven five times?

720
00:46:35,679 --> 00:46:37,639
Let's say it's just one but a
pretty neat one Kirby in The Amazing

721
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:43,079
Mirror. Okay, is on game
Boy Advance. Now this is the weird

722
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,519
Metroid Venia style Kirby game. Actually
cool, there you go, I'll take

723
00:46:47,519 --> 00:46:51,400
it. Yeah, sure, I'll
book that up. Yeah. Anyways,

724
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,800
Yeah, Winwick are very good.
It is. I love the music,

725
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,440
I love the sailing, love of
the characters. I uh, and of

726
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,159
course I love the way it looks. It's it's good. Yes, it's

727
00:47:01,199 --> 00:47:05,760
just and god, it's uh it's
such a good feel to go back to

728
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,400
that game anytime I do. So. Yeah, I'm looking looking forward to

729
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,360
getting a chance to do it again
someday. But yeah, right now,

730
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,760
looking at it, two thousand and
three, that's easily one of the top

731
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,280
games of the year. All right. Uh, I have a couple of

732
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:22,320
things I really like, and I
think it came out this year, Star

733
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,800
Wars Knights of the Old Republic.
Yeah, that's a two thousand, two

734
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:30,280
thousand and three year for sure.
And uh, you know I said that

735
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,440
I didn't. I went back to
this game a little bit later, right

736
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,840
like after I played Follow three is
when I finally played Coats Hour and I

737
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,320
loved it then and then when that
switch version that Switchport came out. I

738
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,199
started it just for funzies. It
ended up just playing through that whole thing

739
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,920
because that game still actually rules.
It's still the best Star Wars game.

740
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:52,440
It's also like my favorite Star Wars
story outside the original trilogy. It's just

741
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:53,920
a great time. It's a feel
good game. Yep, it's uh.

742
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:57,159
I mean, there's a lot of
stuff that are gonna it's gonna feel if

743
00:47:57,159 --> 00:47:59,360
you go back to Over the first
time today, it's gonna feel a little

744
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,280
bit weird. But it's still a
super super solid game. And in two

745
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:07,599
thousand and three it was revolutionary and
it's set up the future of what like

746
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:09,119
BioWare games are going to be from
that point going forward. Before that,

747
00:48:09,159 --> 00:48:13,320
BioWare was putting all all kinds of
stuff out, and then after this it's

748
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,239
like, well, this is what
BioWare mix. It's it's the story is

749
00:48:17,559 --> 00:48:22,719
very cool. Your participation in that
story is very very neat. There is

750
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,159
a lot of great characters. There's
some excellent dialogue from those characters. They

751
00:48:27,199 --> 00:48:31,519
have strong personalities. HK forty seven. Yeah, it's it's a very cool

752
00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:36,440
guy even I even really really like
the Dungeons and Dragons rule set it was

753
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:39,079
using for its combat. It can
really feel that Dios rules in this game.

754
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:42,679
It's funny how that we're kind of
coming back to that and how a

755
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,599
little bit right? Yeah, exactly, And I always love that stuff.

756
00:48:45,679 --> 00:48:47,639
So when I first I played Cotour
a little bit later as well, I

757
00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:50,599
didn't play in two thousand and three, I probably played it, and you

758
00:48:50,639 --> 00:48:52,679
should, I'll Jen, I'll do
it. If you ever want to play

759
00:48:52,679 --> 00:48:54,079
through Cold Tour, you want somebody
to sit in there with you, you

760
00:48:54,159 --> 00:48:57,719
let me know, Jen, Yes, this would be a fun one to

761
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,519
play through this right now, I
think so of the old Jan Republic,

762
00:49:02,679 --> 00:49:07,840
the Nights of Jan Wars show,
uh man, we'll work show, we'll

763
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:12,039
figure it out. I'll get we
have the name in there somewhere. But

764
00:49:12,119 --> 00:49:15,119
yes, I adore Star Wars nuts
of the Older Republic. I've never played

765
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:19,119
those that good. Yeah, there
it is, Joe tor God. Oh

766
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,199
yeah. I wanted to play the
sequel, but then I was displayed for

767
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:27,119
that switch version to get that true
ending mode or whatever said now we're not

768
00:49:27,199 --> 00:49:29,400
doing that anymore. Yeah. I
keep thinking, I'm like, I'll just

769
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:30,519
install that on the Steam deck can
play it that way. I'll do that.

770
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:35,159
Eventually. But whatever, Star Wars
Republic a really really good game?

771
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,119
Is this true? Adam Asleep says
that there's a h K Droids reference in

772
00:49:38,159 --> 00:49:44,159
Asoka. Yeah, that's just like
a reference. But I would like,

773
00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:46,559
I'm like, everyone's like, what
if as Ai starts writing shows? And

774
00:49:46,599 --> 00:49:51,320
Asoka's like, what if Ai watched
a bunch of like, here's seventy five

775
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,519
Easter eggs in a Star Wars show
and then they wrote a story based on

776
00:49:54,559 --> 00:49:58,760
that. It step bumps me.
I'm watching Rebels so I can enjoy a

777
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,880
Soca War. I started watching Rebels. It's a good cartoon, and a

778
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:07,280
Soka is like quality. But whatever
Star Wars nets Public very good, fantastic.

779
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,400
I think it's gonna be on the
top five for sure. Yep,

780
00:50:08,679 --> 00:50:15,800
what else you got, Mike m
Soul Caliber too? Uh. We liked

781
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,039
Soul Caliber one quite a lot,
Jeff, And maybe the impact of this

782
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:24,039
one is a little bit less,
but like it's very similar to one,

783
00:50:24,199 --> 00:50:28,599
just maybe a little bit better in
some ways. Plus, the whole multi

784
00:50:28,679 --> 00:50:30,920
console Approacher was really fun, with
each console getting its own character, and

785
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:35,760
of course GameCube won that bow because
we had the link in this game,

786
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,119
which was so cool and they made
it really neat link for this. Also,

787
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:45,280
you had that Zelda level with that
orchestral Zelda theme playing had this had

788
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,920
a really cool single player mode.
Also, I played a ton of Soul

789
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,880
Caliber two of my friends. It
was great stuff. Yeah, it was

790
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,920
Soul Caliber one was like that special, like, oh my god, look

791
00:50:57,079 --> 00:51:00,599
this is unbelievable. But then you
like, we had a lot of High

792
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,000
Soil Caliber two, and I think
I was playing that one on the GameCube.

793
00:51:04,039 --> 00:51:07,480
I think I must have been playing
on the GameCube. And and then

794
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,239
it's one that like caught on with
like a wider group of friends, and

795
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,840
I'd go over a friendshouse and they
were playing it too, and we would

796
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,079
just play it all the time.
And I remember it was early on and

797
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:17,719
I hadn't bought it yet, and
a friend had it, and well a

798
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,079
friend of a friend kind of thing, and he were doing like matches and

799
00:51:22,119 --> 00:51:24,440
he was beating everybody and no one
could figure out, like me, he's

800
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,320
just that much better. And then
I remember realized that because this is the

801
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,360
one we had link right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So

802
00:51:30,639 --> 00:51:35,000
I remember I realized, I'm like, wait, his life bar is filling

803
00:51:35,079 --> 00:51:38,360
up. He was playing custom matches
and where like you could have your your

804
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,760
like special gear on, and he
had all this special link gear on and

805
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,039
it was like his life was coming
back. And I'm like, no,

806
00:51:45,159 --> 00:51:46,719
don't change it. Don't fuck that, don't change it. And I just

807
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,800
like, once I realized what was
happening, I played a little bit more

808
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,800
defensively and I was able to beat
him. And it was like this huge

809
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,119
cheer, like beating this villain that
was cheating against us. So it was

810
00:51:54,119 --> 00:51:58,880
a good time. Sol Caliber two. Very good game, right right right?

811
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,599
Yeah? Absolutely? Do you have
one? Yeah? I got a

812
00:52:01,079 --> 00:52:05,880
couple of but I'm gonna go with
like a maybe a longer shot, although

813
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,440
I not necessarily because I think this
game is fantastic. It's a warrior Ware

814
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:13,840
Mega micro Games. Oh that came
out then, Yes, it's okay interesting.

815
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,880
Yes, I love warrior Ware like
I love, love love it.

816
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:22,119
It's such a a strong idea.
It's such a unique thing. It's so

817
00:52:22,159 --> 00:52:28,559
funny. Uh it doesn't what's it? Oh? Really? Even reinvented Warrio

818
00:52:28,599 --> 00:52:30,480
as a character. Yeah yeah,
like it like reinvented like him with his

819
00:52:30,519 --> 00:52:35,039
own whole own universe, with all
these characters that are still going in Warrio

820
00:52:35,079 --> 00:52:38,920
Ware Games to today, because it's
like it was actually really well done and

821
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,760
it's like one of these creative endeavors
by Nintendo that comes out of nowhere.

822
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,800
But when you get your hands on, you're like, Okay, this is

823
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,760
just an idea that they worked on
and crafted and honed down to this like

824
00:52:49,079 --> 00:52:52,519
nugget of something that's like just fantastic, and then they just took it to

825
00:52:52,679 --> 00:52:55,599
its logical conclusion and it's a great
game. Yeah, it's fantastic. I

826
00:52:55,639 --> 00:52:59,599
had a lot of good times clean
this one gamble advantage, just the way

827
00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:02,280
you unlaw levels. This is just
be testing. If you're listening since last

828
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,000
time I talked about how much I
liked the link in soul Cover two,

829
00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:07,960
and then sorry, I turned you
asked me if link was in soul Cover.

830
00:53:08,079 --> 00:53:10,039
I was okay, God, God, you are you good? Yeah?

831
00:53:10,079 --> 00:53:13,920
So I'm good. So yes,
that's why you were laughing. I

832
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,840
was trying to figure out if soul
Caliber two was intercapt or not and I

833
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,559
was struggling, and so I stopped
listening while I was like huh, and

834
00:53:22,599 --> 00:53:24,159
I went to my own I went
to my mind palace for a second,

835
00:53:24,199 --> 00:53:30,719
like hero, good Hero, just
because it's hey, Jeff, Yeah,

836
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,000
what's up? Man? Like,
I'm pretty not it's not intercapt it's just

837
00:53:34,079 --> 00:53:37,239
all sorry, you don't know.
It's been reckon, it's been reckoned.

838
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,320
It was like back keep changing it. I don't know. I'm not gonna

839
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,519
ever commit that to memory because I'm
always just go look it up. But

840
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,800
that's fair day. I went to
the Mind Palace and it had nothing for

841
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,760
me. I think, it's like, why the fuck do you think I'm

842
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,840
gonna know? And I didn't.
It didn't know. All right, what

843
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,400
else do you got? Prince of
Persia, Sands of Time. Yeah,

844
00:53:55,519 --> 00:53:59,920
this was a game that caught a
lot of people off guard. This keep

845
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:04,239
was really charming. I remember everybody
sort of thought at the time really innovatives.

846
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,559
It kind of kind of took everything
by storm a bit. This is

847
00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:09,519
a big surprise, Yeah, it
was. It was a surprise for me.

848
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,119
I mean I remember hearing good things
or reading good things at that point

849
00:54:14,159 --> 00:54:16,920
in magazines and stuff. And then
when it got the reviews, it was

850
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:21,679
really highly reviewed, and I got
it. I remember I got it right

851
00:54:21,679 --> 00:54:24,360
away because I was so excited about
how into it everyone else was. And

852
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,159
I love this game, love,
love, love it I would have.

853
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,239
I'd be playing. I remember friends
would come over. I'm like, well,

854
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:32,039
I'm listen, hey, it's cool
you're coming over. That this is

855
00:54:32,079 --> 00:54:36,760
back in the day when like friends
would just do the pop in and yeah,

856
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:37,039
and I was just like, you
know, yeah, come hang out.

857
00:54:37,039 --> 00:54:39,280
I'm gonna keep playing my game.
And like I remember them like getting

858
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,039
into watching me play this game and
like really enjoying it because again, you're

859
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:45,239
right, the character is very charming, but like the action is actually pretty

860
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,760
cool to witness, especially back then, we didn't have a lot of games

861
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,760
with three D wall running and time
that made the wall running a thing.

862
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,960
Man, it really did. And
it's like what I even at that time,

863
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,679
I knew I wanted it, but
it's like no game had really figured

864
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:00,880
it out, and this game more
than figured it out. It made it

865
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,840
feel so cool though. You know, the run, then the wall run,

866
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,519
then the jump, and then the
jump to a you know the high

867
00:55:08,519 --> 00:55:12,199
bar where you could do some spins
and you jump off of that and you

868
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,679
do another wall run and it's all
just and then when you mess it up,

869
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:15,800
it's like, no, that would
be stupid to have you start over,

870
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,960
just rewind, try again, it's
oh my god, what a great

871
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,239
concept, and they just made it
part of the story and the and the

872
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,519
prince like trying to like win over
the princess. All that stuff was excellent.

873
00:55:25,679 --> 00:55:29,159
I think like before this, if
you thought like an acrobatic game,

874
00:55:29,199 --> 00:55:31,159
you would probably take more of a
three D platform, and just seeing some

875
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:36,079
that stuff applied to an action first
game was really neat. Yep. Yeah,

876
00:55:36,119 --> 00:55:37,440
they really just kind of figured it
out first go. It's saying that

877
00:55:38,159 --> 00:55:44,519
I always understood why they went with
Assassin's Creed later on, but I'm like,

878
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:45,480
man, I wish there was a
world where we could get Prince of

879
00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:49,039
Persia at the same time as well. I mean, I know it's different,

880
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:52,920
but that Metroid Veget Prints of Persia
game is really I'm no compoints here

881
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:54,960
so excited that wait that yes,
can't wait to play get that full thing.

882
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:02,960
Okay, let's see here. I
really also like f zero g X.

883
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,400
Yeah. Zero g X is kind
of a kind of the standard for

884
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,159
that series still in a lot of
ways. It's not only is it like

885
00:56:10,199 --> 00:56:15,360
this really good and really fast racing
game. There's a lot of fun personalities

886
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:21,159
here at zero TV. Just the
look of the game that like animated CG

887
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:27,039
cut scenes in the story more actually
really cool nipples. Yeah, I guess

888
00:56:27,079 --> 00:56:30,400
got it all. Yeah, the
Falcons showed me your boobs. It is

889
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:35,039
a fantastic game. It's yeah,
it's really good. I mean the sense

890
00:56:35,039 --> 00:56:38,320
of speed is I want to say
unmatched. There's other games that's seen that

891
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,880
fast, but but maybe not they
have that sense of speed and that many

892
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,679
vehicles at the same time where it's
like think sixty vehicles, right, something

893
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:51,360
like that. And I always appreciate
that F Zero could be a game that

894
00:56:51,519 --> 00:56:53,440
was fast and like took a lot
of it made a lot of effort to

895
00:56:53,519 --> 00:56:57,920
ensure that you could keep going fast
even if you were messing up or hitting

896
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,239
a wall. It's like, yeah, that's gonna slow you down, but

897
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,119
it's gonna slow you down like ten
percent. And actually that's super punishing in

898
00:57:02,079 --> 00:57:05,800
a game like this, as opposed
to something like wipe Out, the game

899
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,760
that I also enjoy, but like, no, like if you had a

900
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,039
wall, let's go, You're gonna
come to almost a complete stop. And

901
00:57:10,079 --> 00:57:14,199
then that game has to do other
things like rubber banding to figure out the

902
00:57:14,559 --> 00:57:16,360
way to keep it competitive. And
it's like, no, it should just

903
00:57:16,519 --> 00:57:19,840
kind of like scrape against the wall
a little bit. You keep going and

904
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,519
you're gonna get back to that sense
of speed, the whole reason that you're

905
00:57:22,559 --> 00:57:25,960
here. They just really figured out
this game with F zero GX and there's

906
00:57:27,159 --> 00:57:30,519
you know, the sort of combat
of like trying to knock other racers out

907
00:57:30,599 --> 00:57:34,320
or to take on your rival.
They just yeah, it's a really well

908
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,280
thought out game. When I when
I enjoy going back to all this time,

909
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:42,239
I wish they would release this one
on the switch as well. I

910
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,159
see a couple of Jeff games.
Yeah, there's a couple more on here

911
00:57:45,199 --> 00:57:49,320
for sure. Yeah, I'm gonna
say one of them right now. But

912
00:57:49,519 --> 00:57:54,880
NBA Street Volume sues, Yes,
this is literally basketball game ever, literally

913
00:57:55,079 --> 00:57:58,800
the game that I wrote Game of
the Year four in the Game of the

914
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:04,760
Year book for Jordan. NBA Street
Volume two is just truly a masterpiece.

915
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,000
It's funtouched, yes, yeah,
it really, and it's it turns,

916
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:12,920
you know, basketball into a fighting
game, but it also kind of makes

917
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,039
it. It's fun as a single
player experience as well, because you can

918
00:58:15,239 --> 00:58:21,840
upgrade your character and upgrade your whole
team and and then do all these amazing

919
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,400
moves and figure out how to uh
combine them so that you're getting the most

920
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,840
points and you get the most if
you get points faster, you build up

921
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,000
your meter faster, and then you
can bank that meter and fill it up

922
00:58:31,039 --> 00:58:36,719
again and do this awesome showtime move
that like gets you. It's but it's

923
00:58:36,719 --> 00:58:42,320
an approachable way, a clear yeah, as a clear lineage from NBA Jam

924
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,199
which is which is a lot of
fun. And they I like the esthetic

925
00:58:45,239 --> 00:58:47,480
that it is like backyard pickup basketball
instead of you know, the giant arena,

926
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:52,960
super pristine, clean ESPN presentation,
right, great soundtrack, right,

927
00:58:52,199 --> 00:58:55,960
a big presentation instead, and it's
like and they had their own personality and

928
00:58:55,960 --> 00:59:00,639
it was very different, and it's
it's a it's a special special game.

929
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:05,559
It's good, good, good stuff. Yep. Let's see here. I'm

930
00:59:05,559 --> 00:59:07,519
trying to think what other Jeff game
you were spotting it? Just just tell

931
00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:13,159
me what else you got there,
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, Jeff is

932
00:59:13,199 --> 00:59:15,920
your other big one. This is
your year. I think actually a lot

933
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:20,199
of games this year. Oh boy, yes there are, man, Well,

934
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,760
Mario Luigi super Star Saga is so
good, just a one of the

935
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:30,000
funniest games ever made, very charming
game. Gave Mario and Luigi a ton

936
00:59:30,079 --> 00:59:34,400
of character without having them talk,
just has other other characters talk to them

937
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,039
and for them in a lot of
ways. Prince Peasley Fawful are just all

938
00:59:38,039 --> 00:59:42,519
time great characters in different ways.
I mean Fawful so much so that they

939
00:59:42,639 --> 00:59:45,480
tried to shoehorn him back into almost
all the Mario Luigi games after that.

940
00:59:45,679 --> 00:59:49,400
It never really worked the same.
But it worked really well in Mario Luigi

941
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:53,800
Superstar Saga. And it's just a
gorgeous game. What I have just amazing

942
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:58,280
looking game Boy advanced graphics for this
thing. And then uh, and then

943
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,079
you have great, great soundtrack,
and of course the combat was great and

944
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:05,239
all those special moves you could do
with Mario Luigi working together, the propeller

945
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,599
stuff, it was just so fun, like, hey, Mario's the A

946
01:00:07,719 --> 01:00:09,239
button, Luigi's the B bunn or
whichever order it was, like, Yep,

947
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,119
that just worked so well though so
intuitive. Yep, it was a

948
01:00:13,519 --> 01:00:17,639
fun idea too. It's so yeah, I love love loveless game. This

949
01:00:17,679 --> 01:00:20,599
is a my game. I don't
even think we had to shortlist this,

950
01:00:20,719 --> 01:00:24,679
Jeff, But I do want to
mention that Crimson Sky's High Road to Revenge

951
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:30,719
did come out this year. I
still think it's a shame that we got

952
01:00:30,719 --> 01:00:34,760
this is the last entry in this
series, because it's so fun and it's

953
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,599
so creative, this kind of alternate
post World War One era thing. So

954
01:00:38,639 --> 01:00:44,360
you still have like that kind of
pulp B movie vibe with the airplane,

955
01:00:44,559 --> 01:00:49,320
very underrepresented sort of setting in games, right, and you know, it

956
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,800
kind of have like these small open
worlds that you explore. I mean it

957
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,239
basically is like a Rogue Squadron like, but just with a different setting and

958
01:00:54,239 --> 01:00:59,039
a different vibe and a bit more
of an open structure. It still plays

959
01:00:59,079 --> 01:01:02,480
really well today. Uh. I
would do almost anything to see this idea

960
01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:07,360
taken up again. Yep. I
never really played much Crimson S guys,

961
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:13,599
but I always appreciated the setting and
the style that it went for. Beautiful

962
01:01:13,679 --> 01:01:16,360
Joe came out in two thousand and
three. It's a very good game.

963
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,239
I don't think it's gonna quite make
it actually beat it. For the first

964
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,159
time this year or last year,
I finally played through all of it.

965
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:29,679
Really fun, very strong, creative, absolute personality. I don't think it's

966
01:01:29,719 --> 01:01:31,519
going to be quite tough. Five
materials. Yeah, it's one that I

967
01:01:31,559 --> 01:01:36,320
would probably still very much enjoy going
back to and playing. But uh,

968
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:40,840
yeah, it's a tough year.
It really isn't a tough year. See

969
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:46,519
that's uh, you're not much of
an SSX guy as three was this year.

970
01:01:46,519 --> 01:01:49,639
I mean, I like sex fine. I don't think I'm going to

971
01:01:50,159 --> 01:01:52,559
Fine two push for it. I
like a Fine too. I think it's

972
01:01:52,599 --> 01:01:54,920
a fine game. It's just not
I don't think it holds of candle to

973
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,239
ten eighty personally. But I know
a lot of people to scree, but

974
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:01,280
they're wrong. I better taste in
them. That's what that is. Beyond

975
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:04,239
Good and Evil? Did that come
out in two thousand and three? That

976
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,920
was this year. I like Beyond
Good and Evil. I you know,

977
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:09,400
I don't. I don't go gaga
for it like some people. Yeah,

978
01:02:09,519 --> 01:02:13,559
it's one that I uh, I
think if they were to do Beyond Good

979
01:02:13,559 --> 01:02:15,079
and Evil two, that's a lot
like Beyond Good and Evil one. I

980
01:02:15,119 --> 01:02:19,079
bet it would be very fun and
I'd be probably even more into that than

981
01:02:19,119 --> 01:02:21,519
I ever was in't Beyond Good and
Evil game. I played a bunch,

982
01:02:21,559 --> 01:02:25,880
but never beat it. Never really
was interested in beating a sorrow. Yeah,

983
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,000
Sylvania Sorrow, that's a great game. That's a very good game.

984
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:36,760
It's probably it probably is the best
of the GBA ones, even though raw

985
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,559
quality yeah, right, and then
there's like things about both Circle Moon and

986
01:02:39,599 --> 01:02:43,280
Harmony Descendance. I kind of like, like better, this is probably the

987
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,159
best overall package. Yeah, it's
it's also the one that is the most

988
01:02:47,199 --> 01:02:51,079
like, hey, we made a
sequel to Symphony of the Night, right,

989
01:02:51,119 --> 01:02:55,360
Like, that's the vibe here and
it's really neat yep uh byromblem came

990
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,320
out in Game Boy Advanced. I
never played this one much. I liked

991
01:02:59,199 --> 01:03:00,880
it. I think Secrets Stones was
better. There's there's a few things,

992
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:05,239
like you know, we gave Rachel
clinks someone the last time going Commandos this

993
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,800
year. I like it, but
it doesn't stand out to me as much

994
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,039
as the original for whatever reason.
Who is this year? And I like

995
01:03:10,159 --> 01:03:15,000
Jack two. Some people love Jack
two, uh Like. I think there's

996
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,960
a split in that community. I
think if you like Jack, you like

997
01:03:17,039 --> 01:03:20,639
all of them. But I think
some people prefer the style of that first

998
01:03:20,679 --> 01:03:23,079
game, which is much more just
a Mario sixty four clone. That's that's

999
01:03:23,079 --> 01:03:27,440
me, and some people really like
the weird direction I went to with two

1000
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,440
and three, where it has like
some GTA elements, and I still like

1001
01:03:30,519 --> 01:03:36,960
those games, but I prefer the
original. Uh let's see Double Dash did

1002
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:38,320
that come on two thousand and three? Yeah, you know my stance of

1003
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,880
Mario Kart, Like even my favorite
Mario Karts are early in eight out of

1004
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,920
ten and I don't like them.
Fine, and I don't. I don't

1005
01:03:44,639 --> 01:03:46,400
these days. I guess at the
time I thought Double Dash was pretty good,

1006
01:03:47,039 --> 01:03:50,280
but these days I don't. I
don't really enjoy it playing it very

1007
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:54,079
much. It doesn't play seven and
the other ones. The first Call of

1008
01:03:54,159 --> 01:03:57,440
Duty came out this year, and
it's funny because I remember at the time

1009
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,840
it like got surprisingly good reviews.
Yes, everybody said it was like the

1010
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,320
Medal of Honor killer, which is
such a funny thing to think. It

1011
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:09,800
turns out it was very much.
It was multiple times it killed Medal of

1012
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,679
Honor. No one talks about like
the original Call of Dude aname what would

1013
01:04:13,719 --> 01:04:15,599
it be like to play? Because
it was a PC game? Right?

1014
01:04:15,599 --> 01:04:17,280
It was only on PC. Right, So it's like because they made Big

1015
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,960
Red one, when they made console
versions, it was a different game because

1016
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,800
they couldn't just port this over.
It was it was kind of like a

1017
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:28,360
fancy thing, yes, and so, but I remember reading those reviews and

1018
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,000
wanting to play it really bad and
never actually getting the ram to it.

1019
01:04:30,519 --> 01:04:34,760
And so when't Call four was popping
off at that E three and the beta

1020
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:36,480
codes were going out, and I'm
like, oh, I'm gonna go try

1021
01:04:36,519 --> 01:04:39,559
this. I got I have an
Xbox three sixty. That'll be great.

1022
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:45,360
It turns out it was. Let's
see if there's anything else Simpsons Hit and

1023
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,880
Run. Do you want to try
to get that out on the top like

1024
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,480
Simpson in a Run? And I
know it just was defending that game loudly.

1025
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:53,119
I don't think it's good. I
don't think I need to try to

1026
01:04:53,159 --> 01:04:56,559
make a game of a year or
anything. Okay, Ninja guide him for

1027
01:04:56,679 --> 01:04:59,920
Xbox was that two thousand and three. Let me see, I didn't see

1028
01:05:00,119 --> 01:05:03,639
Ninja. Uh, guy, D
don't believe, so, don't think it's

1029
01:05:03,639 --> 01:05:06,519
a year? Okay, okay?
Cool? All right? Well then yeah,

1030
01:05:06,519 --> 01:05:09,960
I think we got our list here
and we can work at what the

1031
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,800
podcast producers. Yeah sounds good.
Let me just double check here, see

1032
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:25,360
who is what's what? Was anyone
listening to the episode that we did where

1033
01:05:25,559 --> 01:05:30,960
we were talking about that bird Board
game? Uh? Wings It's called Wingspan.

1034
01:05:31,039 --> 01:05:33,719
I was I did an episode something
I don't even remember what it was.

1035
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:38,639
But Tam was there and we were
talking about this bird bird board game

1036
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,360
and Tam was making fun of it, and then he goes, I just

1037
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,400
bought it, and I thought he
was joking. H He just says,

1038
01:05:44,719 --> 01:05:47,039
he just texted me. Why did
I buy that fucking bird board game?

1039
01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:49,760
I am losing it. I don't
even know who I am anymore. I

1040
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:58,679
only like one bird crows. What
a funny text message? You like one

1041
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:03,159
bird is? I don't know what
to say to you. I don't know

1042
01:06:03,199 --> 01:06:09,880
what to say to you. Okay, there we go, say what's it

1043
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,280
the same day that you rated a
French streamer that was slaying that game.

1044
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,840
Yes it was, Yes it was. And nobody was very confused in that

1045
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,559
rate. Yeah, I'm sure they
were. You know what, I don't

1046
01:06:18,559 --> 01:06:24,079
care. It's a rate who cares. Okay, let's see what the community

1047
01:06:24,119 --> 01:06:26,000
has to say. And by then, I mean no, I think I

1048
01:06:26,079 --> 01:06:28,639
got it ready already. Let's go
here. Yes, there we are.

1049
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:33,239
Okay. So our community chimed in
and they mentioned, for example, mister

1050
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:39,440
Bowler said wind Waker for best game
soul Caliber two for honorable mention, Villain

1051
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,280
Max's Mega Man Battle Network three and
the best. It's the best in a

1052
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,159
great series of games that got much
deserved love with the collection released this year.

1053
01:06:46,239 --> 01:06:49,119
That collection did very good. This
is the one I hear people talk

1054
01:06:49,119 --> 01:06:51,800
about battle Now people like the most. Is the one I was playing through

1055
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,199
when I started, you know me, I was liking it. It is

1056
01:06:55,239 --> 01:06:58,119
still It's definitely a kid's game,
Jeff in a lot of ways, but

1057
01:06:58,159 --> 01:07:00,719
I was enjoying it. Crange is
mcbasketball, says Win Waker, Knights of

1058
01:07:00,719 --> 01:07:04,000
the Old Republic, Tony Hawk's Underground
Thug is also a very good game,

1059
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,840
and then he says Justice for Eric
Sparrow, Jedi Academy, and Mario Luigi

1060
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:14,679
Superstar Saga. Oh, Mike you, what do you think about Jedi Academy.

1061
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:20,199
I think you need to say its
name correctly. Star Wars Dark Forces

1062
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:28,960
four, Jedi Night for two,
Jedi Academys sense, I don't know.

1063
01:07:29,039 --> 01:07:33,760
I'm I don't know, Mike.
You Sa Wars Dark Forces four, Jedi

1064
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:40,800
Knight three, Jedi Outcast too,
Jedi Academy. That's a good game.

1065
01:07:41,239 --> 01:07:45,280
Yeah, I like Jedi it plays
really well. I don't like the whole

1066
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,400
I'm just playing as some oc as
much as playing as Kyl Katarn. I

1067
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,039
don't know why that throws me off
a little bit, but it does,

1068
01:07:50,119 --> 01:07:56,039
but still very much rules. Doctor
Lynch says, Wow, there is absolutely

1069
01:07:56,079 --> 01:07:58,639
no question that for me, Win
Waker is the best game of that year.

1070
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,920
In my absolute favorite the title I
want to throw something out that might

1071
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,400
get lost in the mix, and
that is so tied to this year for

1072
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,880
me. The Lord of the Rings
Return of the King game, which is

1073
01:08:08,039 --> 01:08:13,119
very good. At a time when
licensed games were just so consistently hot garbage

1074
01:08:13,119 --> 01:08:15,399
and with Jackson's movies near their near
their pinnacle, this game was just so

1075
01:08:15,479 --> 01:08:18,680
much fun. I played it over
and over and over again while listening to

1076
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:24,079
music and relaxing after school. It
felt, looked and sounded fantastic for the

1077
01:08:24,119 --> 01:08:28,680
time game. Yes, it was
a very fun game. Are those local

1078
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,199
multiplayer on the GameCube? Oh?
Yeah? Yeah? Two? I think

1079
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:34,880
just two players, but multiplayer.
I'm just saying, maybe we could do

1080
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:40,279
something with that with the Dolphins.
I have it, yeah me, I

1081
01:08:40,279 --> 01:08:42,399
own it. Well, okay,
we could also do that. Can you

1082
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,359
come here and we'll just play on
original hardware? All right? That sounds

1083
01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:47,600
great. Alex says Prince of Persa's
Stance of Time was pretty cool, and

1084
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:53,000
Return of the King was also sick. Crouching Boomer hid and Zoomer mentions Tonyak's

1085
01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:57,279
pro Skater Underground that game is pretty
fun. The level design and goals start

1086
01:08:57,319 --> 01:09:00,720
to feel stale towards the end,
but the overall game gameplay loop is still

1087
01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:03,680
Tony Hawk. We should probably talk
about Thug. I do like Thug,

1088
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:08,439
but again, again, like my
my reverence for the franchise does drop off

1089
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,399
pretty sharply after three. I know
you like four more than I do.

1090
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,279
What do you think about the Thug? Doug was was very It's a very

1091
01:09:14,279 --> 01:09:16,920
good game. It's a fun game. It's it's not one of the best

1092
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,560
games in two thousand and three though
it's not. Yeah, I mean I

1093
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:25,479
think the formula was better with with
three and four. Yeah, but Thugs

1094
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:29,640
Thug's fun. Uh. Daniel says
very nostalgic year. Nostalgic for a year

1095
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,960
for me. We got Pokemon,
Ruby, Sapphire, Warrior Ware Inc.

1096
01:09:32,079 --> 01:09:36,479
Mega Micro Games, Final Fantasy Tactics
Advance. Oh shit, that's a very

1097
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:43,239
good game. Hive Extreme Beach Volleyball
Tony Hawk's Underground and wind Waker. Uh,

1098
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,279
the Remaker is coming any day now, right, Meetbacks says always be

1099
01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:48,920
clothing Slash Corgi for Star Wars Nights
of the Older Public. I am just

1100
01:09:49,399 --> 01:09:53,039
full on and never expecting that remake
mode. And I'm like, that's fine

1101
01:09:53,079 --> 01:09:55,479
with me, Like I still like
the originals so much, but yeah,

1102
01:09:55,560 --> 01:10:00,359
I'm not expecting it. Not expecting
it either. Uh for Doctor Ryan because

1103
01:10:00,359 --> 01:10:03,279
that's like under Embracer Group now right, like fully under Embracer Group. Yes,

1104
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:08,439
yeah, good luck with that.
Good have fun. Uh. Doctor

1105
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,680
Ryan says two thousand three is the
year that breaks my heart too, because

1106
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,640
I truly can't choose between wind Waker
and Cotour. Win Waker is the perfect

1107
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,279
and best is Zelda, but Cotur
is the single greatest Western RPG ever made

1108
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:23,199
and BioWare's best creation. I gotta
see both on this list. I think

1109
01:10:23,199 --> 01:10:26,800
both will be. I think you're
good luck, Fluffy cloud Gamer. I

1110
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,880
want to submit two entries, neither
likely to make it, but SpongeBob Square

1111
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,680
paints Battle for Bikini Bottom and the
Simpsons Hit and Run. If I was

1112
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,720
to play about for Big Bikini Bottom, chat like, what should I play

1113
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,399
the original. Should I just play
Rehydrated? The Rehydrated one seems completely fine.

1114
01:10:42,399 --> 01:10:44,960
I saw some people playing that,
and they seem completely fine with it.

1115
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,640
Tokyo Game Life says, shout out
to Final Fantasy X two, both

1116
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:54,239
the English and Japanese versions of Real
Emotion and one thousand Words Still Slap.

1117
01:10:54,319 --> 01:10:56,439
I didn't hear either of those songs
at the concert, right, Mike.

1118
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:01,239
I didn't hear any Bay ten two
songs or thirteen two or Lightning. Okay,

1119
01:11:01,279 --> 01:11:04,159
I see what's happening here, all
right? You and Sean fight over

1120
01:11:04,279 --> 01:11:09,840
the side pass. Bucker Rus says, win Waker and Pokemon were already mentioned,

1121
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,720
so I'll go with Rise of Nations. Never played the series. I'm

1122
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,199
a friend whose step dad doesn't play
any video games, but it has played

1123
01:11:16,319 --> 01:11:19,640
Rise of Nations like every day for
twenty It seems like a dad game.

1124
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,880
It seems like a super super dad
game. I don't even I don't know.

1125
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,119
I assume it's just a age of
Umpire's clone. I'm not sure I

1126
01:11:27,199 --> 01:11:30,119
do is it. I can't remember
if it's turn based or real time,

1127
01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:35,199
but I thought it was real idea. Uh seen as super Cousina, seen

1128
01:11:35,239 --> 01:11:40,159
as kitchen seen as Causino. I
know you nice boys will do the right

1129
01:11:40,159 --> 01:11:42,600
thing and put win Waker on the
left, So I'll just leave this here.

1130
01:11:43,039 --> 01:11:46,560
Pokemon pinball never played this one?
Is this? This is specifically Pokemon

1131
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,239
Ruby and Sapphire pin Okay, Ruby
and Sapphire Okay did this one ever come

1132
01:11:50,279 --> 01:11:53,960
out? Yeah? We said we
got this one. Also, he just

1133
01:11:53,960 --> 01:12:00,279
put seen us kitchen a showing.
But uh, hosp lot of miss games

1134
01:12:00,319 --> 01:12:04,560
for me, So let's throw out
Cotour my first real interaction with anything Star

1135
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,600
Wars related. Interesting that'd be,
you know, I bet you're not alone

1136
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,479
on that. I bet a lot
of people are, like all those games

1137
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,479
is getting a lot of love.
I should check this out. Interesting,

1138
01:12:13,159 --> 01:12:15,239
screaming Madden, says Matt in NFL
two thousand and four was first in the

1139
01:12:15,279 --> 01:12:19,920
series to let people control a franchise, from hiring coaches to setting hotdog prices.

1140
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:25,239
So game of the year finally,
well, if not The Warrior where

1141
01:12:25,319 --> 01:12:29,520
Mega Microgames Inc. And Simpson's Hit
and Run and Advanced Wars Black Hole Rising

1142
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,399
another very good game, and most
importantly this was my year, Mike and

1143
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:38,439
most importantly Fox deserve consideration. Fuck, that's a lot of good games from

1144
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,960
Slain Mick Awesome, Mario Luigi Superstar
Saga and Knights of the Old Republic are

1145
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,479
both games I played the shit out
of when they came out back in two

1146
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,479
thousand and three and have gone back
to multiple times. Please don't make me

1147
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:54,960
choose for the choose for the top
one. They also mentioned here Dark Force,

1148
01:12:55,279 --> 01:12:58,600
excuse me, Star Wars Dark Forces
for Jedi Night three, Jedi Outcast

1149
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:00,920
to Jedi Academy. Hey, good
on Slave for actually writing it out that

1150
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,199
way too. Thank you. See
this was this was edited. So do

1151
01:13:04,199 --> 01:13:06,439
you think you went back after you
gave me a hard time? Oh?

1152
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:14,399
I don't know. Well I'll give
him all right, we'll find out once

1153
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,079
for all octos. There's a lot
of great games two US three, but

1154
01:13:16,119 --> 01:13:18,720
I have to give it up for
Castlevania Ari of Sorrow at the best of

1155
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:26,159
the game Boy advanced Castlevania's Yeah,
uh, Flobotron Helstavarrow's Big Rigs over the

1156
01:13:26,239 --> 01:13:30,000
road racing, but that's crossed out. Instead, says I'm talking about a

1157
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,960
sequel improving everything about the predecessor,
Max Pain. To the Fall of Max

1158
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,079
Pain was so fucking good. I
never played the mex Pain games Mike,

1159
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,720
I play yes, one, I
did not never play much of two.

1160
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,880
Actually have an unopened copy for my
Xbox, which I got excited about when

1161
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:45,479
I saw it. That turns out
that's not really worth much. But I

1162
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,439
have an unopened copy of Max Pain
to the Fall of Mex Pain the original

1163
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:55,199
Xbox for some reason. Uh let's
see here Showjikodo says, Windwaker and Cotor

1164
01:13:55,239 --> 01:13:58,239
are absolutely incredible and hard to argue
against. But with that said, I'd

1165
01:13:58,279 --> 01:14:01,159
like to shout out so Calm to
you never played or cared much about.

1166
01:14:01,199 --> 01:14:03,680
I never quite got it was so
can never appealed to me. I think

1167
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:08,680
again, like much of Whales,
A snob about gold and I because I

1168
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,199
had, like, you know,
Quick two or whatever and stuff like that,

1169
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,399
Like I had, you know,
even at this point, I was

1170
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:19,000
like, freaking Counterstrike from nineteen ninety
nine looks a lot more appealing to me

1171
01:14:19,319 --> 01:14:25,399
than So Calm deaths Jamie age Christold, Oh yeah, for sure, Jimmie

1172
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,399
H. Christmas, who says,
my pick goes to the Harvest Moon Friends

1173
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,760
of Mineral Town on game Boy Advance
and a pre Star Doo Value World.

1174
01:14:31,159 --> 01:14:34,119
This was my favorite and go too
far in a game man, how much

1175
01:14:34,199 --> 01:14:38,359
just the world changed, and now
it's like that was the one before Star

1176
01:14:38,399 --> 01:14:42,880
Doo Value instead of Starting Value is
the one after Harvest Moon. That's that's

1177
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,039
wild. But yes, I do
remember this being one of the best.

1178
01:14:45,119 --> 01:14:46,800
Yes, I remember people liking this
game a lot when I never really played

1179
01:14:47,119 --> 01:14:51,159
like Starting Value a lot though easy
Ipsis says in two thousand and three,

1180
01:14:51,159 --> 01:14:55,119
I became a man. I was
sixteen year old, sixteen years old and

1181
01:14:55,199 --> 01:14:58,640
p and O three released for the
GameCube, making me into a productive member

1182
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,640
of society that I am today.
Thank you, Shinji Mikami. I'm gonna

1183
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,159
play this game and I can't.
Well, you own it, I own

1184
01:15:04,199 --> 01:15:06,760
it. I'm ready to go.
Long Gift says. I was going to

1185
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,640
say wind Waker, then I saw
Prince of Persia's Sanse of Time came out

1186
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:14,319
this year and it's really no contest, just a perfect game, probably the

1187
01:15:14,359 --> 01:15:16,119
best three D platformer ever made,
great puzzles, music, and it has

1188
01:15:16,159 --> 01:15:20,600
one of the best story slash romances
in gaming. Two years of inferior sequels

1189
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:25,560
can't diminish its importance. No Sense
of Time, no Assassin's Creed, and

1190
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,640
probably no one Charted. Also,
games with Wall Running are just better.

1191
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,560
And then there's a picture here of
Jake Jillenhall, which of course really streaming

1192
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,680
right now. Can we go I'll
go in there and ask her, because

1193
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,760
she just pit beat this game.
I'm gonna let's all go in real quick

1194
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,399
and ask her if she thinks this
is a game, ask her if it's

1195
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:45,039
one of the best games in two
thousand and three. We'll get on that,

1196
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,279
Sleepy Dad, I didn't realize how
many bangers came out No. Three.

1197
01:15:47,359 --> 01:15:49,600
I was eleven and looking at this
list, it was really a big

1198
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:53,680
year for me, really discovering my
taste in games. Tough choice, but

1199
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,359
number one pick has to be Cotour. Cotur is exactly what I want from

1200
01:15:57,359 --> 01:16:00,199
Star Wars, a cool story set
in the galaxy of Star Wars, far

1201
01:16:00,239 --> 01:16:02,199
removed from the Skywalker stuff. I'm
with you on that, yep. For

1202
01:16:02,239 --> 01:16:05,800
sure. Vision forty nine is Win
Wakers, Superstar Saga, and Return of

1203
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:09,600
the King. Also, it was
the year of the that The sp came

1204
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,279
out, and while it's not a
game on this list, it remains the

1205
01:16:12,319 --> 01:16:15,159
goat. Yeah, I could almost
put the SPD at number one. I

1206
01:16:15,199 --> 01:16:16,880
mean, yeah, you absolutely see
that we are at the height of the

1207
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:21,119
Game Boy Advances power right now yep, and like a lot of evidence for

1208
01:16:21,279 --> 01:16:25,319
Game Boy Advanced being one of the
best consoles ever made. For sure,

1209
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:29,760
ye, Jackie Gee, you didn't
give me Mature's mask or oral Oracle of

1210
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:33,159
Wages, so I guess third times
the charm. Please consider Win Waker please,

1211
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,800
all right, we'll consider it.
Well, we'll see what we can

1212
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:40,720
do. I think you'll I think
you'll be happy. Win Waker is mikey

1213
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:45,039
ask that is one of my top
ten for sure tea money, oh gee,

1214
01:16:45,119 --> 01:16:46,479
my pick is Win Waker. It
is my favorite game of all time.

1215
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:50,760
Superstar Saga and Beautiful Joe are also
classics that should be considered. Big

1216
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:58,079
Tony says, SmackDown, here comes
the Pain with mister brock Lesnier on the

1217
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:05,239
Rock lesne Rastle Jess says, my
Big three help I have already been mentioned,

1218
01:17:05,319 --> 01:17:10,840
so I'll shout out Crimson Skies,
High Road to Revenge and atchin Clank

1219
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:16,560
Going Commando Bench jc's mentions Mario Luigi
Superstar Saga, the Once in Future.

1220
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:20,039
Jason L says, I've never,
I've never I've not played it but one.

1221
01:17:20,119 --> 01:17:25,399
Alex Navarro had words to say about
drink of the ninety nine Dragons keep.

1222
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,880
I'm keeping that one of my back
pockets some day for one of you

1223
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,880
two assholes in the Blake Low.
Don't worry. I doubt that's ever gonna

1224
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,880
be a problem for me. Monkey
bought nine Keg says unpopular opinion, Star

1225
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:39,000
Wars Dark Forces for Jet n I
three Jediocast two Jet ecotomy was not as

1226
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:45,079
good as Star Wars Jedi two Jetti
Outcast. Star Wars starts Forces three N

1227
01:17:45,279 --> 01:17:48,000
two Jedi outcasts. Yep, there
it is. Luckily Star Wars Knights of

1228
01:17:48,039 --> 01:17:51,479
the Old Republic came out to pick
up the goat Star Wars game title.

1229
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,720
Don't get me wrong, it probably
aged like shit. I haven't played it

1230
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,960
since, but the story was incredible. It fit into the universe perfectly,

1231
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,600
and the twist was right up there
with I Am your Father for the full

1232
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,840
Star Wars experience. Yeah, it's
incredible. I don't know if there could

1233
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,800
ever be another great Star Wars twist
again, Like, yep, we had

1234
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:11,720
those two. They're fantastic. YEA
in Star Wars doesn't need to be relying

1235
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,840
on Twitter, doesn't need it.
Yeah, but that's the point. They

1236
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,239
shouldn't anymore, like, it's incredible
that they pulled it off, right,

1237
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,560
amazing that we got two of them
in the same series. Yes, absolutely,

1238
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:27,600
bread Fish says A vote Shimmagami Tinse
Nocturne. That's a third game in

1239
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:31,079
that series that has a lot of
fans. Yes. Joe joy Z says

1240
01:18:31,159 --> 01:18:35,640
Cotur best, the Star War the
New Vegas Wolf five says I know they

1241
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,880
won't make the list, but I
wanted to shout out Jack two and Going

1242
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:43,239
Commando. Going Commando improved on literally
everything the first Raction game did in every

1243
01:18:43,279 --> 01:18:45,920
possible way. Jack two was personally
very influential for me, and it was

1244
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,880
the first game that showed me how
good storytelling could be in video games.

1245
01:18:49,199 --> 01:18:57,079
Nine year old me almost puked when
he heard Jack say damn. Isaac Clark

1246
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:06,439
says me too well, Uh need
I say more from Isaac Clark who dropped

1247
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:10,920
a picture of Mario Luigi Superstar Saga
and No, you don't rock Party says

1248
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:15,119
Final Fantasy Tactics advance and I agree, Clink window't agree, that's the one

1249
01:19:15,159 --> 01:19:18,159
I'm gonna I would fight back on
a bit. I like the Tactics fans

1250
01:19:18,159 --> 01:19:20,159
fine, oh yeah, but it's
a great game. So you're wrong,

1251
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:24,079
okay, Craig says, win Waker. I don't care if it's been said

1252
01:19:24,079 --> 01:19:26,880
one hundred times in this already.
Wind Waker is the best Zelda game out

1253
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:30,800
there and the perfect embodiment of going
on out on an adventure into the unknown.

1254
01:19:30,159 --> 01:19:33,560
If given the choice between this game
and all the other games released this

1255
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,039
year, let me go, Oh
sail, Let me go sail on that

1256
01:19:36,079 --> 01:19:40,960
boat and yell at a talking fish. Also shout out to Rayman three.

1257
01:19:41,159 --> 01:19:43,960
That game's a jam and hasn't been
mentioned yet. See my memory is that

1258
01:19:44,039 --> 01:19:45,880
a lot of people thought Raman,
there's a disappointment at the Rayman two,

1259
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:49,319
but that was a long time.
Again, in consensus is I don't know

1260
01:19:49,359 --> 01:19:54,199
either. Punished Rose says, I
know it's just an expansion, but Warcraft

1261
01:19:54,199 --> 01:19:57,640
three to Frozen Throne was the first
time I played in RTS and absolutely hooked

1262
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,520
me for the summer of two thousand
and three. It's a very expansion.

1263
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,680
It's a very good expansion. DMC
depressed me, crying. The generation was

1264
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,920
filled with wacky titles and cool crossovers. In two thousand and three, Lincoln

1265
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:11,800
Dante were awesome to see in Soul
Caliber two and Beautiful Joe respectively, and

1266
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:17,960
Japanese Devil Make Cry Wow Yes,
and Japanese icon Gacked started an obscure stylish

1267
01:20:18,039 --> 01:20:24,039
action title Boujin Guy The Forsaken City. I'm just gonna give it a moment.

1268
01:20:24,119 --> 01:20:27,720
Let's sean yo, Okay, all
right, fair enough, You're good

1269
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,399
enough. Jet Jet Banks Warrior were
inc Mega microgames. This game, with

1270
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:34,159
its addictive gameplay loop, got me
into the series. Yeah, definitely,

1271
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:39,880
he got Days forty two, says
Mario. Luigi Superstar Saga Sasquatching says wind

1272
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:44,760
Waker, Lenny Cool, Dick Denver
says win Waker, F Zero GX Mario

1273
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,880
and Luigi, and Advanced Wars two
were my jams. However, I would

1274
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,319
like to place a negative vote for
Sonic Heroes because the theme song still haunts

1275
01:20:51,359 --> 01:20:55,680
me and I really didn't like it
at the time. That was the game

1276
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,279
that actually broke me off of Sonic
for a while. I was really I

1277
01:20:58,319 --> 01:21:01,960
was like super excited for Sonic Heroes. It was so disappointed how jankie it

1278
01:21:02,159 --> 01:21:09,880
was, how often it slowed me
down and do boring combat sequences. How

1279
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,520
often I would go on a spring
and it would just shoot me to my

1280
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,600
death by Accident a great theme song. Though, I've been watching a Sonic

1281
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,359
game that just seems like the Sonic
experience. Yeah, you know, you're

1282
01:21:17,359 --> 01:21:20,600
just like supporting Jeff's arguments any time
you put this game down, right,

1283
01:21:21,359 --> 01:21:25,359
this games bad. Look. I
don't say every Sonic game is good,

1284
01:21:25,399 --> 01:21:30,399
clearly, I don't like to say
is not very good. Matt Rare Monkey

1285
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,079
says, Defense of the Agents,
which is Doda, Legend of Zelda,

1286
01:21:33,079 --> 01:21:36,800
Windwaker, Need for Speed, Underground
Ultimate, most the Legends versus New Generation,

1287
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:42,359
definitely a top wrestling game. And
Jedi Academy specifically the movie Battle Modes

1288
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,399
Star Wars, Star Wars Stark Forces
for Jedi Night three, Jedi Outcast to

1289
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,399
Jedi Academy. There you go,
thank you very much. That was for

1290
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:54,119
memory. At first, I was
like, how come I didn't play any

1291
01:21:54,119 --> 01:21:56,680
of these games in two thousand and
three? And then I remember the worst

1292
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,920
best game of all time Doda.
Yeah, if you got into Dota back

1293
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,119
in two thousand and three, no
wonder you didn't play anything. Yeah,

1294
01:22:02,199 --> 01:22:05,239
my friend got a Dota back in
two thousand and three. Hadn't seemed that

1295
01:22:05,279 --> 01:22:08,600
I didn't see much of him that
year, But don't worry. Then he

1296
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:13,399
became a ticket dual to Warcraft the
next year. Brian Rose says, shout

1297
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,680
outs to the final Fantasy Tactics Advance
and fire emblem. Yes, correct,

1298
01:22:16,239 --> 01:22:19,840
Snubgin. No one mentioned racing games
of the decade. I mentioned the racing

1299
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,760
game of the decade. As far
as Mario Kart, only eight Deluxe can

1300
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:27,279
even hang with Double Dash. It
loses Game of the Year only to the

1301
01:22:27,319 --> 01:22:30,119
wind Waker. Mex says best games
in two thousand and three Meet for me

1302
01:22:30,199 --> 01:22:34,479
are Beautiful Joe and Mario Luigi Superstar
Saga. Sir Meet Once says, and

1303
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:40,159
Cotur should definitely be in the top
five surries Not much Beautiful Joe. I

1304
01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:42,399
mean, it's a great game representation. There's it's a very good game.

1305
01:22:42,399 --> 01:22:44,399
I'm surprised. I think if you
played in two thousand and three you would

1306
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:48,079
have more reference for it because at
the time it was like breath of fresh

1307
01:22:48,079 --> 01:22:51,479
air. I guess looking back on
it in context, it's like, actually,

1308
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,319
a lot of games were doing a
ton of cool stuff back in two

1309
01:22:54,319 --> 01:22:57,119
thousand and three, but that was
one of them for sure. Uh.

1310
01:22:57,359 --> 01:22:59,880
Turbo Shawn says, well, I
know, Bagaman bad on Network three ain't

1311
01:23:00,199 --> 01:23:02,399
in the last. So since y'all
will put any old Pokemon game on the

1312
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,079
list, how about a good one
for once, any old pook what you

1313
01:23:05,079 --> 01:23:09,640
mean gold and silver? Yeah,
just any old horseship. No, we

1314
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:15,880
didn't broken masses of video games.
Listen, they're great. I was kind

1315
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,439
of paying my mic today, Ruby
version and Sapphire version. Shu. I

1316
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:21,880
don't think they're gonna have much a
chance until black and white, and then

1317
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,640
that might be it. Whoa,
why not? What what diamond and pearl?

1318
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,600
You think? Just I just find
it hard to believe going forward are

1319
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,800
going to be five games better than
that year's Pokemon game. But we'll see,

1320
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,319
we'll see, all right, I'm
not going to a chat. Nobody

1321
01:23:36,359 --> 01:23:41,439
in Patreon said the NBA Street Volume
two. That's interesting. They're they're they're

1322
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:45,279
heathens. We know this by them
about that? By now, I guess

1323
01:23:45,279 --> 01:23:46,720
all need to get get some Jesus
in your life. It's what you need.

1324
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,359
Give me your two thousand and three. The short list the Legends Old

1325
01:23:50,399 --> 01:23:53,920
to the wind Waker, Star Wars, Knights of the Older. Is it

1326
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:58,439
the wind Waker or Windwaker? I
always forget myself and whatever one is I

1327
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,760
think it is just Windwaker in look
and because that it's going to be the

1328
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:05,079
win right exactly, h Star wars
Nutzy, the Old Republic, Soul Caliber

1329
01:24:05,159 --> 01:24:12,239
two, Warrior Ware incorporated Mega Micro
Games exclamation point. But it is the

1330
01:24:12,399 --> 01:24:16,680
Wakes, she said, fucking I
heard that ship every time. I yep,

1331
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,000
uh, Soul Caliber two, Warrior
Wear Ink, Prince of Persia,

1332
01:24:20,039 --> 01:24:24,720
Sands of Time, F zero g
X, NBA Street Volume two, Mario

1333
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:29,199
and Luigi, Superstar Saga and Castlevania, Aria of Sorrow. Fuck. And

1334
01:24:29,199 --> 01:24:31,000
there's only four slots left because I
just put the legend of self to the

1335
01:24:31,039 --> 01:24:34,880
wind Waker at number one. Now
it's probably my number one, are you

1336
01:24:35,239 --> 01:24:38,239
like? Also, I'm not super
married to that. If you want,

1337
01:24:38,319 --> 01:24:41,960
like to me, number one's probably
that or Code Tour. So that's where

1338
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,880
I'm at. Yeah, if you
think strongly should be coaches or I wouldn't

1339
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:46,199
put up much of a fight about
that, to be honest. Now,

1340
01:24:46,239 --> 01:24:48,880
I think the time listening to self
win Waker kind of trumps out Dane else

1341
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,800
here. I mean that there's other
timeless games on here, but win Laker

1342
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:56,479
truly is very I mean it's very
special then, Honestly, like I think

1343
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,520
like coaetor should you know, be
two or at least on there, and

1344
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:00,880
then I'll give you some deaf Jeff, this is very much a U year

1345
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,399
here. Yeah, I'll give you
some advice, I'll give you some guidance.

1346
01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:08,560
But yeah, I for me,
I think, okay, so I

1347
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:11,600
do also want to put a coat
or at number two. I love that

1348
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,119
game, uh the two and a
half times so I've played it in my

1349
01:25:14,119 --> 01:25:16,199
life. I've always enjoyed it,
never had like a bad moment with it,

1350
01:25:16,239 --> 01:25:18,720
even though people like kind of are
over it a little bit. I

1351
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:21,439
guess these days some people are,
uh. For me, I'm like,

1352
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:27,640
no, I still love Cotur God. This it's tough, but I for

1353
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:32,399
me, I think number three probably
is NBA Street Volume two and then Mario

1354
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:40,239
Luigi Superstar Saga and then yeah it's
tough. It's real hard, but I

1355
01:25:40,239 --> 01:25:43,159
mean I probably still covered two since
the time support we are you thinking?

1356
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,600
I think sands of times kind of
what I leaned towards before. It was

1357
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:51,479
like, yeah, it was good
and also important and just interesting and it's

1358
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:55,479
almost the most two thousand and three
game in a lot of ways. Yes,

1359
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:59,079
yes it is, man, this
is such a stacked year for me.

1360
01:26:00,159 --> 01:26:02,840
It's really hard to leave off Sol
Caliber two. It's hard to leave

1361
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,039
that off. It's hard to leave
off Wirio Wear It's Ario Sorrow, just

1362
01:26:06,319 --> 01:26:11,760
a fucking another perfect game from a
series of games that has multiple perfect games

1363
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,560
in it. Uh and f zero
g x is it is a true classic,

1364
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:15,199
one of the best racing games with
all time. Very good. I

1365
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,119
feel like less by leaving that one
off for some reason. But yeah,

1366
01:26:18,319 --> 01:26:23,880
like there's a shout out, But
I'm pretty good with this list, Mike.

1367
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:25,760
Right now, I have the Legend
of All the wind Waker at number

1368
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:29,399
one, then Cotour, NBA Street
Volume two, Mario Luigi Superstar Saga,

1369
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:34,239
and Prince of Persia Santa Time.
I I love every single one of these

1370
01:26:34,239 --> 01:26:38,640
games. Are all very good.
Yeah, yeah, this is a I

1371
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:42,119
mean, we're reaching some prime gaming
years for both of us. I'm I

1372
01:26:42,159 --> 01:26:45,000
was always playing games, but like, is your own beating a lot of

1373
01:26:45,079 --> 01:26:47,560
games too, and all that stuff, So yeah, yeah, I think

1374
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,760
I have a lot of good stuff
here. I think, yeah, I

1375
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:54,319
beat every single game on our short
list, and this list beat all these

1376
01:26:54,399 --> 01:26:58,880
so yeah, yeah, you're good
with this. Feel good? Jeff,

1377
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,800
All Right, you know what,
I put it on Internet? John,

1378
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,159
I feel good. How's it feeled
to be a dying man? John?

1379
01:27:03,199 --> 01:27:06,840
I'm sorry, I'm just doing it
from Commando. Oh yeah, one of

1380
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:12,159
the best characters all the time.
Sure, oh yes, one million percent.

1381
01:27:12,399 --> 01:27:15,119
All right, there's that. I'm
going to post this on Twitter right

1382
01:27:15,159 --> 01:27:15,960
now, and if you want to
yelp me there, feel free. If

1383
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,359
you want to yelp me in chat. That's also completely fair engagement. Baby

1384
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:25,319
was last week was our least controversial
list by far. I imagine some people

1385
01:27:25,359 --> 01:27:29,000
are going to have more thoughts on
this one. Yeah, there's some truly

1386
01:27:29,119 --> 01:27:31,079
big ones that that aren't making a
list. Yeah. Man. In my

1387
01:27:31,159 --> 01:27:34,359
memory, I remember two thousand and
four being a very good year, So

1388
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,560
that's gonna be I think, what's
like, what's the first one that comes

1389
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:42,119
to mind for you? Like two
Yeah? Sure, yes on Warcraft?

1390
01:27:42,319 --> 01:27:45,960
Yeah that's a year. Oh it
doesn't for it might be a Mikey year,

1391
01:27:46,199 --> 01:27:49,720
yes, totally. Uh okay.
I think what we'll do is we'll

1392
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:53,880
take one more break and then we
come back. We'll talk about what we've

1393
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:58,600
been playing. See you on a
second. We're back, Mike. Before

1394
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,479
we talk about what we've been playing. I think we got some more super

1395
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,760
chats. Why don't you read those
from me? And we got one here

1396
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:06,239
from someone named Christian who says,
Hey, guys, I just want to

1397
01:28:06,279 --> 01:28:12,399
remind you all that Alec Card from
the hit manga series Housing is a great

1398
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,840
and deep character that loves killing Nazis
is call of Duty's skin is a crime

1399
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:19,800
kids humanity. At least, I'm
sorry to hear that, Christian. I

1400
01:28:20,039 --> 01:28:26,600
agree with that guy too. Da
says, I know both of you aren't

1401
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:30,000
huge Last of Us fans, but
Last of Us Days next week. Last

1402
01:28:30,039 --> 01:28:34,039
year they dropped the first HBO trailer
any chance for factions, Jeff, I'm

1403
01:28:34,039 --> 01:28:36,760
trying not to be cynical, and
makes some stucky comment about the fact that

1404
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:41,880
there even is a Last of Us
Day, But I'm ignoring that too.

1405
01:28:42,359 --> 01:28:46,960
My daughter came home from school today
and and my wife was complaining about her

1406
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,279
job. It's a job, my
wife, and at he's like doing something

1407
01:28:50,279 --> 01:28:55,239
else, but she's always listening to
everybody. And then my wife explains,

1408
01:28:55,239 --> 01:28:58,319
like one of these problems it's happening
about what fellow co worker, and he's

1409
01:28:58,359 --> 01:29:00,560
like, you should use your ignore
power, and that's what I'm using right

1410
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:04,960
now. My my powers to ignore
something though, and that's that's something is

1411
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:10,800
fucking the last of us day.
This is an incredible power, I mean

1412
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:14,119
okay, but also they're not going
to drop faction is like it wasn't that

1413
01:29:14,159 --> 01:29:19,000
long ago, right they were like
trouble, like a little little tug on

1414
01:29:19,039 --> 01:29:23,199
the collar about factions. Uh,
they're like, hey, we had another

1415
01:29:23,239 --> 01:29:26,840
studio come in, bunchy and just
fuck us up. So no fence,

1416
01:29:27,079 --> 01:29:30,560
but it was not impressed. Yeah, uh, there'll probably be something now,

1417
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:35,520
probably some screenshots from I don't know
what, right are they filming yet?

1418
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:39,960
I have no they're going to announce, well, they can't film there's

1419
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:43,880
a strike, right, maybe did
they film anything? Honestly, it probably

1420
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,880
don't say shit because that's just gonna
get people talking about, hey, what's

1421
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:50,439
that season gonna come out? Probably
never hung with all the fucking actors striking

1422
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:56,880
so and writers. Okay, Yeah, that's tough, Michael Leary says.

1423
01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:01,319
Technically, there was a Dracula sequel
co written by Bram Stoker's great grandnephew in

1424
01:30:01,399 --> 01:30:04,399
two thousand and nine. The last
branch of the Neppo baby tree. Can

1425
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:10,359
you imagine being just the great grandnephew
and thinking that gives you the right,

1426
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:15,760
like, I mean, even being
even being the son of somebody like with

1427
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:21,399
like what's his name with the fucking
simillary online Jara Tolkien. Yeah, his

1428
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:25,600
son like did a lot of that
work. He did, like a pretty

1429
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:27,880
okay job. But even that,
I'm like, but he didn't do a

1430
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:31,119
lot of he only was liked by
trade script and I'm going to edit that.

1431
01:30:31,399 --> 01:30:35,560
But even that, Yeah, that
kind of gets me a little bit.

1432
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:42,039
But whatever, My whole life is
dedicated to working on my dad's trash.

1433
01:30:42,119 --> 01:30:44,920
Yeah, yeah, with the stuffy
threw on the floor, Yes,

1434
01:30:45,079 --> 01:30:48,800
exactly, Yeah, nothing but respect, mister Christopher Tolkien. I actually think

1435
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,720
it is quite dead. I think
yeah, And you know what, we're

1436
01:30:51,760 --> 01:31:05,399
better off for Jesus Christ's token.
Jesus did it, and I'm the one

1437
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:09,960
is gonna go to jail just because
it was our president. Well hey,

1438
01:31:10,199 --> 01:31:15,720
sorry, budd Epic Wallpapers says,
playing Reside Evil for remake separate ways,

1439
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:21,079
I'm with mikey Game of the Year. Yeah, uh, when your corner

1440
01:31:23,199 --> 01:31:26,760
x courss Mike's cameras off, I
think that's back when my camera when you

1441
01:31:27,039 --> 01:31:29,760
have me blocked for a second,
that never happened. You fix that,

1442
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,560
We're all good. Oh yeah,
connal Wood says, don't forget two thousand

1443
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:35,039
and three includes the end gauge Lung
Games ship, Jeff, we have to

1444
01:31:35,079 --> 01:31:38,079
go back. We got to throw
it all out, we got to start

1445
01:31:38,119 --> 01:31:41,199
over. We forgot about the end
gauge, all right. At the end

1446
01:31:41,239 --> 01:31:43,439
gage was two thousand and three.
For some reason, I thought it was

1447
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:45,760
a little bit later than that.
That's what they kept like they did another

1448
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,000
launch a few years later. Maybe
it wasn't a few year back then.

1449
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:50,199
It probably felt like a few years. Maybe it was like one year later.

1450
01:31:50,279 --> 01:31:55,279
But yeah, that was like the
side talking thing, and that happened

1451
01:31:55,279 --> 01:31:58,199
with like second Yeah, that happened
like the second version though, because I

1452
01:31:58,199 --> 01:32:01,279
don't think the side talking that was
like early Internet meme stuff. But I

1453
01:32:01,279 --> 01:32:03,800
don't think like it was like a
big relund like I don't know. I

1454
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:08,199
don't know there was, like it
was effectively a relaunch back then, but

1455
01:32:08,239 --> 01:32:11,479
I don't know if that was side
talking or not. Big fresh story sevences.

1456
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:15,960
Should I worry about x Xbox backwards
compatibility? Excuse me if they go

1457
01:32:16,199 --> 01:32:19,880
arm Yeah, I worry about it, But I don't know if you should

1458
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:26,760
like do a super big worry.
What's up there showing us You're I know

1459
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:30,840
that's deliberate. I'm able to educate
these fools. Oh what's this about?

1460
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:34,600
Okay? What site is this?
This is side talking dot com? Oh

1461
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:39,239
no, is this about the end
Gauge? Yeah, it was a serious

1462
01:32:39,279 --> 01:32:44,039
There is one hundred percent starring problem
Max somewhere on this page. Yeah,

1463
01:32:44,159 --> 01:32:46,560
I kind of kind of immediately.
Here's here's side talking where everyone would uh

1464
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:51,800
boob yeah, side talking into a
boob. Sure, everyone would take their

1465
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:57,399
different devices and pretend to side talking
it like their Nokia engauge. Is this

1466
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:00,399
what you thought was funny? Oh
this was the thing for a while.

1467
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:04,880
Oh absolutely, yes, I thought
this was funny. This is what we

1468
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:10,319
thought. This is what we had
back in the depression era of the internet.

1469
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:14,000
Big Fresh thirty seven also asked,
also, are y'all going to play

1470
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:17,840
thunder Ray Jeff, that's another punch
out like indie thing. If I saw

1471
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:20,000
that, Yeah, I'm gonna try
it. But I don't have high hopes

1472
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,319
for anything to being able to capture
the magic. But if it does,

1473
01:33:23,399 --> 01:33:28,640
I will give its props and and
shout it from the rooftops. Yea with

1474
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:33,800
so much fire in this fucking web
page. I mean Ryan, yeah,

1475
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:38,600
big Jibbah Ryan says you should watch
Holsing Ultimate, it's good. What would

1476
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:44,119
Jim Ryan know about anime? Well
listen, yeah she did know. Ho'm

1477
01:33:44,159 --> 01:33:46,800
crutchy Roll Hughie have said. Hey, random thought, but the villain and

1478
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,680
the Princess Peach game looks like a
Balin wonder Roll character. That's true.

1479
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:54,119
Yeah, we mentioned that in the
talk over because I was frightened for her,

1480
01:33:54,239 --> 01:33:58,119
that Balin. And then Tyrant says, grub, what would be your

1481
01:33:58,199 --> 01:34:02,600
Nintendo likely never happening game. Mike's
pick is clearly Princess Daisy Cinemax. For

1482
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:05,159
me, it would be a new
two D Zota with the scope of Metroid

1483
01:34:05,199 --> 01:34:10,279
dread also great nuts e is greater
than most. I don't know about that.

1484
01:34:11,159 --> 01:34:13,920
I feel like a two D Zota
game that has that has at least

1485
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:15,720
as much of a scope, especially
Drew isn't that much off the table.

1486
01:34:16,039 --> 01:34:21,319
Yeah, that's basically what link between
worlds was. Yeah, I would tell

1487
01:34:21,359 --> 01:34:26,039
a row Boxer two, the sequel
to the Virtual Boy boxing game. That's

1488
01:34:26,079 --> 01:34:30,039
like, that's definitely not probably not
gonna happen, all right, that's set

1489
01:34:30,119 --> 01:34:32,640
for super chests from now. Thank
you so much everybody. Mike, what

1490
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:38,000
you've been playing? Well? I
did start Separate Ways the new DALC camp

1491
01:34:38,039 --> 01:34:41,560
paying for Resident Evil for remake.
Uh, you know, I was just

1492
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,640
so excited to have a reason to
play some more Resident Evil for Jeff,

1493
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,560
you know how much I love that
game. Oh it's interesting though I never

1494
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:51,039
played the original Separate Ways. Uh, like you know, the GAMEP version

1495
01:34:51,079 --> 01:34:54,920
wasn't there when I played the game
again on the WEA version, I just

1496
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,399
didn't go to it. And probably
because, like I said, I don't

1497
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,560
like eight oh Wong nearly is but
just everyone else for some reason. But

1498
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,399
you know here, I'm just so
happy again to have more Resume before,

1499
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:08,319
just excited to play it. And
yeah, hey more Resie before. So

1500
01:35:08,359 --> 01:35:12,399
far, just been exploring locations from
that first game again. But hey,

1501
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:15,600
along has some interesting things. She
has a grappling hook and that's fun.

1502
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:19,279
It's not like you know, Batman
Arkham City style. You can do it

1503
01:35:19,279 --> 01:35:21,760
anywhere. There's certain points you can
use it too, but still that's fun.

1504
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:26,000
You can use it as a melee
attack sometimes too, if a person's

1505
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:30,119
further away. But so far,
just playing like ninety minutes of it.

1506
01:35:30,119 --> 01:35:33,079
It is the basically just more resume
before and that's exactly what I want.

1507
01:35:33,359 --> 01:35:38,359
Yeah, it's so it doesn't change
up the game play too much. It's

1508
01:35:38,359 --> 01:35:41,960
just like more of that fun shooting
in a different setting with a different character.

1509
01:35:42,239 --> 01:35:44,439
Well not even a different setting,
right, it's the same, just

1510
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:46,680
basically different characters. I never played
a story different perspective. And you know,

1511
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,399
it's a lot of cute like,
oh she was here when this was

1512
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:53,319
happening to Leon kind of stuff.
I got a question, is this a

1513
01:35:53,319 --> 01:35:59,079
gizmondo? Was? What a gizmond
It's gonna come up on the thing here?

1514
01:35:59,319 --> 01:36:03,199
I can't. I think that's man, this guy's highlighted curls. That's

1515
01:36:03,239 --> 01:36:06,960
something. Uh maybe it was two
thousand and three. Man, we don't.

1516
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:11,600
Yeah, yeah, it's just what
it is, what it is.

1517
01:36:13,159 --> 01:36:15,760
Yeah, listen, I will probably
not play this DLC, but I'll play

1518
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:19,199
the rest of through the rest of
the residume before. It's it's definitely not

1519
01:36:19,279 --> 01:36:23,199
something you should like play before or
instead of the main game. It is

1520
01:36:23,239 --> 01:36:26,199
definitely a hey, did you like
really like that main game? Well,

1521
01:36:26,239 --> 01:36:28,680
here's here's some more you can play, right, Yeah, And I'm glad.

1522
01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:30,399
I'm glad it's available. I know
people have been excited about it,

1523
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:33,119
but it's like ten dollars, it's
pretty reasonable for this. I don't know

1524
01:36:33,159 --> 01:36:38,119
how long it is, honestly,
but still ten dollars for the DALC campaign

1525
01:36:38,159 --> 01:36:42,159
that seems reasonable, right, and
remaking the DLC campaign on top of already

1526
01:36:42,199 --> 01:36:45,000
remaking the game. It's cool that
they did this, Like that's not it's

1527
01:36:45,039 --> 01:36:49,000
I mean, because it's something.
I bet most people who played Resume before

1528
01:36:49,039 --> 01:36:53,359
originally didn't play, and you could
have they could have got away with never

1529
01:36:53,399 --> 01:36:57,479
doing that. A lot of people
worried that they weren't because they didn't announce

1530
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,119
it right away, and you know, like Residue Will three remake was missing

1531
01:37:00,399 --> 01:37:02,600
just content from the base game.
So I think a lot of people were

1532
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:04,840
concerned we would just never get this, and we did get it. So

1533
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:10,159
that's very cool that they did it. Yeah. Absolutely. I've been playing

1534
01:37:10,199 --> 01:37:15,119
Phantom Liberty Cyberpunk twenty seventy sevens DLC
and it's it's it's very good. It's

1535
01:37:15,239 --> 01:37:17,600
very good. What's good about it
is kind of what was always good about

1536
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:24,640
Cyberpunk in that uh, pretty good
characters, a good pretty good story the

1537
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:27,840
combat's pretty good, although it's better
now. They've made a lot of improvements

1538
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,640
to the skill tree. I think
that there's a lot more options in terms

1539
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:34,319
of being able to have more of
these like mods installed, more of these

1540
01:37:34,319 --> 01:37:38,279
cyberwars installed, so you could be
even more powerful of a of a net

1541
01:37:38,359 --> 01:37:41,600
runner, you know, the hacker
type, and more body mods and things

1542
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:45,199
like that, and that stuff is
all very cool, and I really like

1543
01:37:45,359 --> 01:37:50,840
the story set up with It's like
the spy political thriller where you are working,

1544
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:54,479
you're helping the president of the United
States, are just crash landed in

1545
01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:57,319
this new part of the city that
you haven't been before in before because it's

1546
01:37:57,479 --> 01:38:00,239
it's like blocked off and you got
to sneak into it and all that's stuff

1547
01:38:00,319 --> 01:38:03,079
is very cool. It also the
game just looks so so so good.

1548
01:38:03,119 --> 01:38:10,279
It's really visually pleasing. The new
ray tracing stuff is incredible DLSS three point

1549
01:38:10,319 --> 01:38:13,279
five. This is the first game
to support that, and ray tracings never

1550
01:38:13,319 --> 01:38:15,079
looked as good as it looks here, So all that stuff is working in

1551
01:38:15,119 --> 01:38:19,359
its favor. It's still underneath still
cyberpunk. It's still that game. Uh.

1552
01:38:20,159 --> 01:38:24,760
That means that you're going to have
the kind of I think cheesy dialogue.

1553
01:38:25,399 --> 01:38:28,680
The characters said a maze balls today, like V says amaze balls and

1554
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,680
I'm like, what why come on? And was like confused because like talking

1555
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,720
to a bunch of people are like
this has got great writing, Like I

1556
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:38,720
don't think it's got great writing.
It's got like, yeah, there's a

1557
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:42,399
cool different things when they say that, right, it's yell. And I

1558
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:45,319
don't know if people necessarily mean the
dialogue. I will say that even the

1559
01:38:45,399 --> 01:38:47,920
performance is even saying amazeballs actually are
selling it pretty well. They're doing a

1560
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:51,279
pretty good job. But that's it's
still not selling it enough to like get

1561
01:38:51,319 --> 01:38:54,920
me on board with. And that's
like the one example I can remember.

1562
01:38:55,079 --> 01:38:59,479
There were several examples of like the
cheesy dialogue, but whatever, that's not

1563
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:01,880
going to ruin a game for me. And nothing's really ruining this game for

1564
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:05,760
me other than it's like I kind
of always imagine Cyberpunk, I say,

1565
01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:11,920
I imagine they always promised Cyberpunk kind
of like an immersive sim where it's a

1566
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:15,000
very reactive world and you would be
able to like kind of pick and choose

1567
01:39:15,039 --> 01:39:17,920
your own way through it. And
no, it's kind of you're gonna go

1568
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,039
in there. You're gonna go to
the waypoint. Maybe it'll have you search

1569
01:39:21,119 --> 01:39:26,560
for the waypoint inside of a cord
enough box. Once you're inside there,

1570
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:29,159
it's like, actually find the point
of interest now, And like that's not

1571
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:32,319
exactly exciting or something like that,
but it's like, no, if you

1572
01:39:32,399 --> 01:39:36,199
want to go in here and experience
a cool cyberpunk world, meet some meat

1573
01:39:36,319 --> 01:39:41,960
characters, get you know, hang
out with a sexy president lady, and

1574
01:39:42,079 --> 01:39:44,760
then meet Eat or Selba. All
that stuff sounds cool to you. This

1575
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:46,239
is going to deliver for you.
And I get why some people are super

1576
01:39:46,279 --> 01:39:49,680
into it, but don't expect this
to be some completely rewriting the history of

1577
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:55,479
cyberpunk. It's still cyberpunk. So
when I play Cyberpunk for the first time,

1578
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,319
which I'm going to do here soon, should I just because I'm going

1579
01:39:58,399 --> 01:40:00,680
to be doing that two point zero
version, right, so even the main

1580
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:02,640
game is a lot different. Now, should I do the main game,

1581
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:05,840
you think? Or should I just
head straight to this phantom Liberty stuff?

1582
01:40:06,239 --> 01:40:09,880
What I would do is, I
mean, you're gonna start a new character,

1583
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:12,560
You're gonna you're gonna have to do
it. I would imagine I didn't

1584
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,279
restart, even though they recommend restarting. There's just no way I'm doing that

1585
01:40:15,319 --> 01:40:16,520
because I don't want to do this
beginning stuff again. But you're gonna have

1586
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:19,840
to do the beginning stuff again where
you know, you meet Jackie and and

1587
01:40:20,319 --> 01:40:24,279
probably do a little bit of a
heist and stuff like that. Is Jackie

1588
01:40:24,359 --> 01:40:29,119
Keiana Reese. No, Jackie's Johnny
Silverhand and he's in your head and you'll

1589
01:40:29,159 --> 01:40:31,640
meet him as well. But Jackie's
like your best real world friend. Uh,

1590
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:34,600
and you know all the stuff that
happens with him. You'll just said,

1591
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:39,239
Jackie's Johnny Silverhan Do you mean Kiano
is? Yeah? Sorry, Uh,

1592
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:44,840
Keanu is Johnny Silverhand. Jackie is
your best real world friend. And

1593
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,920
yeah, so I would I would
start. I would do at what kind

1594
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:51,079
of all the stuff that like feels
about right in the main story, And

1595
01:40:51,159 --> 01:40:55,039
then if you feel like, okay, I kind of want to go see

1596
01:40:55,039 --> 01:40:58,000
what that fanom liberty stuff is,
go do it because it's it's very good

1597
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,760
and from him when it's so it's
so beefy that that might be the game

1598
01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:04,439
to play at this point, Uh, playing through that might be even better

1599
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:10,119
because I listen as good as people
thought. The story wasn't in cyberpunk.

1600
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:13,479
It doesn't end in some spectacular way. It kind of fizzles out, my

1601
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,199
opinion a little bit. I remember
when I played a Blivy and it was

1602
01:41:15,239 --> 01:41:17,439
a few years after it came out, and I was just kind of wandering

1603
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:21,720
around and accidentally stumbled into the Shivering
Aisle's expecience. So that was the first

1604
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:24,640
thing I did want to play the
game. It's actually really fun way to

1605
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:27,079
do that, And then I did
everything else after that. Yeah, I

1606
01:41:27,159 --> 01:41:29,439
think you would be if that's kind
of what happens here. I think again

1607
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,359
you would stumble into it after doing
some intro stuff. But if you did

1608
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:34,600
that here, I think you'd be
totally fine. And you're gonna get the

1609
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:39,640
call from the MPC like, hey, we need your help out in Pacific

1610
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:42,600
of the President's plans about to go
down, And that's pretty compelling, Like,

1611
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:45,960
oh, I want to know what's
happening here. Gonna get transported to

1612
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:49,079
an anime world like Nino kun two. Uh no, you know presidents can

1613
01:41:49,119 --> 01:41:54,560
be too, Mike, Wow,
But yes, that's absolutely what's gonna happen.

1614
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,600
All right, all right, I
don't know I'm gonna stick with it

1615
01:41:57,640 --> 01:41:59,600
because I mean, well, big
part of it is like I got this

1616
01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:04,039
for in the US, they can't. Well, this is the new United

1617
01:42:04,079 --> 01:42:06,399
States of America, so the end
of the essay. So that's a little

1618
01:42:06,399 --> 01:42:09,720
bit different. Maybe they're better off
than we are. It doesn't seem like

1619
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:14,199
the medal compared to normal medal.
Yes, it's in you, yes,

1620
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:18,279
oomed out over the you. Yeah. Absolutely, I'm like, I'm gonna

1621
01:42:18,319 --> 01:42:20,479
join it. I'm gonna stick with
it for at least for a little bit.

1622
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:24,760
There's uh other games that I want
to keep playing. I'm definitely still

1623
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:27,000
playing Armored Core six now that the
same bug is out of my way,

1624
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:30,039
I'm making this progress there. Yeah, and there's other things I want to

1625
01:42:30,079 --> 01:42:32,159
play Rescume Bell four in a couple
of weeks. But there's stuff coming up

1626
01:42:32,199 --> 01:42:34,159
soon. But I think I got
a little block right here for it.

1627
01:42:34,279 --> 01:42:36,199
If I stick with this, I
can probably get through it. You know

1628
01:42:36,199 --> 01:42:40,239
what's a shame, No one's No
one's gonna play Crew Motorfested. I think

1629
01:42:40,279 --> 01:42:44,319
that game is actually really good.
Yeah, like that game. I'm surprised

1630
01:42:44,319 --> 01:42:46,479
how much I like it. It's
like when I'm playing it in a lot

1631
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:49,479
of ways, I think I just
like this better than the last Forts the

1632
01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:53,399
Horizon. Now, maybe if I
really played them back like next to each

1633
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:57,199
other, I would see why Forces
the Horizon control is better or feels better.

1634
01:42:57,359 --> 01:43:02,039
But I kind of like the setting
and motorfests more. It doesn't have

1635
01:43:02,119 --> 01:43:04,560
as a bunch of map bar of
which I appreciate, and it's really neat

1636
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:08,399
how you can be in an airplane. You can switch to an airplane whenever

1637
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:12,159
and sort of use that to quickly
get around the island. That feels great.

1638
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:15,760
I thought you hated when the Ubi
Soft games had flying things you can

1639
01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:16,600
go into and look a look at
the island. No, no, no,

1640
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:20,960
that's different because like the bird is
just basically a stupid Yeah, it's

1641
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:24,960
a drone. This is actually during
the quick Like, Jeff, you can't

1642
01:43:25,319 --> 01:43:30,880
from all right, what else you've
been playing, Mike. I mean the

1643
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:33,640
Crew was the one that I would
encourage people to check out. I think

1644
01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:38,520
it is surprisingly good. The playlist
system is a lot of fun. There

1645
01:43:39,119 --> 01:43:41,720
a lot of there's a lot of
content there in a lot of variety,

1646
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:45,239
but more seros starts still really enjoying
that plane that every night, and more

1647
01:43:45,359 --> 01:43:50,680
Mortal Kombat one I've still been having
fun playing that game just online, getting

1648
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:56,159
good with smoke, feeling pretty good
about that. So I'll probably be playing

1649
01:43:56,199 --> 01:44:00,439
that for quite a while longer still. But uh yeah, Jeff, I'm

1650
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,840
still throwing down the challenge to you
from my zero to Hero challenge. Yeah,

1651
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:05,760
let's just do it. We'll do
that next week sometime. We'll pick

1652
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,880
a day one. Let make it
happen. Sean, remind me to talk

1653
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:14,840
about that in the meeting on Monday. Yeah. Other than other than that,

1654
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:16,439
for me, it's been Armor,
Course, Sex, a little bit

1655
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,239
more Starfield. I'm gonna try,
like still want to beat that. But

1656
01:44:20,359 --> 01:44:24,359
finally, I did like play Starfield
for the first time in a while yesterday

1657
01:44:24,399 --> 01:44:28,359
because I dropped it from I'll come
at one and like getting back to it,

1658
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,359
it was kind of hard to like
get into it again. I think

1659
01:44:30,399 --> 01:44:34,039
it's gonna be completely fine to not
finish that if you're well, I want

1660
01:44:34,039 --> 01:44:38,520
to. If I want to fish
it, I'm gonna finish it. Like

1661
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:41,960
the mission that was on kind of
gone interesting. At least it actually was

1662
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,199
doing that like that one Titan Fall
two level everyone likes. Yeah, I

1663
01:44:45,279 --> 01:44:50,960
was doing that not as well,
so well, I just I just keep,

1664
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:55,640
just keep. He having a lot
of thoughts about Starfield, and I

1665
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:59,479
don't think I'm really ready to completely
divulge them yet. But that's fine because

1666
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:01,560
game mesk Cub's going to talk about
it. Yep, probably in about a

1667
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:05,159
week. Yep. Looking forward to
that. Uh all right, Mike,

1668
01:45:05,279 --> 01:45:09,039
is that it? That's it?
Wait? Do we get any more superch

1669
01:45:09,159 --> 01:45:11,640
I think we're good. Yeah,
we're gonna super chats. I'm going to

1670
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:13,920
I thinks with all the super chats, thinks I everybody tuned in to night.

1671
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:15,760
Thanks for all the likes. We
really appreciate it. Uh, shout

1672
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:19,920
outs to y'all. Let's see,
who should I watch? Helsing Ultimate?

1673
01:45:20,279 --> 01:45:25,199
Fifty one percent say yes, forty
nine percent say yes with an exclamation.

1674
01:45:25,279 --> 01:45:28,399
It's crazy. That never happened.
One hundred percent of people say yes in

1675
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:32,159
a poll. That's crazy. I
think you should watch. Uh, all

1676
01:45:32,239 --> 01:45:35,279
right, we're wrapping up. Thanks
for watching everybody, Mike. Why don't

1677
01:45:35,279 --> 01:45:39,960

you on the internet? Tolkoto and the

1678
01:45:40,039 --> 01:45:45,079
places and yeah, John Giant bombs
stuff. Uh, what do you guys

1679
01:45:45,119 --> 01:45:48,119
are playing? That party? Animals? It says that was that's called tomorrow

1680
01:45:48,399 --> 01:45:51,760
You play party animals to brown upf
if you want to get in on that,

1681
01:45:53,039 --> 01:45:57,000
Mike. It's eight players, so
we're trying to get the whole crew

1682
01:45:57,079 --> 01:46:00,680
in. Maybe I think I any
more you should want to join us?

1683
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,520
Yeah, so be ready to go, all right, Eddie, that will

1684
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:06,640
be a lot of fun tuning for
that, everybody. That's gonna be fun.

1685
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:12,199
I'm gonna be. I played some
Mortal Kombat X beat that that's fun.

1686
01:46:12,239 --> 01:46:14,520
Beat beat a couple of Mortal Kombat
games this year. I gotta be

1687
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:16,600
a couple more now, but I'll
be I'll be keeping in the going with

1688
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,439
that. And then yeah, I
don't know. Uh see, the new

Columbroo's episode is out for for Patreon

1691
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:30,920

1692
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,680
doing. I'll do a Q and
A this weekend. So if you are

1693
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:38,800
a Patreon member, this Sunday I
will probably do because I'll be busy Saturday,

1694
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:42,800
So look out for Sunday with me
busy hanging out with Mikey on Saturday.

1695
01:46:43,279 --> 01:46:45,279
Or then maybe we could just do
it on on my phone or something.

1696
01:46:45,359 --> 01:46:47,159
Have a Christian here reporter or something. We'll see. We'll see,

1697
01:46:47,199 --> 01:46:51,159
no promises, I'll see what it's
like. Uh okay, yeah, Mike,

1698
01:46:51,239 --> 01:46:57,079
we got any other plans this weekend
and then might go to the local

1699
01:46:57,239 --> 01:47:00,760

family we'll see. Trying to get chicks.

1700
01:47:01,199 --> 01:47:05,560
No, No, you're disgusting,
Mike. I can't believe you said

1701
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:12,199
yes there. Wow. Uh yeah, I'm trying. I think I was

1702
01:47:12,199 --> 01:47:14,680
supposed to do something Friday, but
now I can't remember. I don't know.

1703
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,640
I guess it's bussy. You want
to stream son on Twitch? I

1704
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:19,960
would love to stream with someone twitch. Yeah. The problem is, like

1705
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:23,680
all the games I keep playing,
I'm like trying to stay on top of

1706
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:28,920
stuff. Everything's fucking embargoed. So
even six on the kids soon it wouldn't

1707
01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:33,840
be that's a good idea. I'd
love to be taught how to play games.

1708
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:36,279
That would be nice. I do
want to stream. I will definitely

1709
01:47:36,319 --> 01:47:40,039
be doing the Q and A and
then maybe I'll time to stream after that.

1710
01:47:40,119 --> 01:47:42,159
We'll see. Thanks for watching,
everybody, So next time you have

1729
01:49:46,279 --> 01:49:51,920
I just don't think that I like
your mom, so you're gonna say

1730
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:55,640

ty today. Yeah, everyone's really an

01:50:00,319 --> 01:50:03,319
a meaning me. Yeah no,
yeah, that included you. Yeah,

1733
01:50:03,359 --> 01:50:06,960
we knew that. Just got hit
in the fucking chest with those cuts.

1734
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:12,880
And I'm sorry. Move Mikey around
a little bit, then we'll be good.

1735

Everybody all right, move around every
now and then we get the right

1736
01:50:20,319 --> 01:50:30,439
mortis up on o bis, I
promise. Does anyone chat know what a

1737
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:32,399
mortis is? Thanks? Sean always
makes fun of me for saying the word

1738
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:40,199
mortis. Yeah, it's it's what
it's what overlays are called in uh in

1739
01:50:40,399 --> 01:50:45,520
obs. Actually they're mortis. Yes, I don't know enough to like counter

1740
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:48,199
that. The only reason I know
it is because we had, once upon

1741
01:50:48,239 --> 01:50:54,079
a time at gai Bomb had a
graphic designer on the team, so he

1742
01:50:54,279 --> 01:50:57,560
was very, very trained, very
true. You got the right thing pulled

1743
01:50:57,640 --> 01:51:00,880
up, Arthur, Thanks, No, I don't know you're right, ship.

1744
01:51:01,199 --> 01:51:09,760
Well yeah, let me do that
right now. Well bump bump,

1745
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:13,359
bump, bump, turn that off. And then it almost almost reminds me

1746
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:26,079
of that tragedy almost kind of reminded
you of a tragedy more disababium. Okay,

1747
01:51:26,159 --> 01:51:29,079
yeah, so Gat you sent me
this too. So apparently people are

1748
01:51:29,359 --> 01:51:34,079
said about some of this. I
don't saw a collection stuff. Yeah,

1749
01:51:34,119 --> 01:51:38,399
I saw people complaining about it.
Yeah, can, someone said in a

1750
01:51:38,399 --> 01:51:40,359
super chest, So I can talk
about it now, we can just talk

1751
01:51:40,359 --> 01:51:43,159
about it. But I'll just talk
about it. I don't. I don't

1752
01:51:43,159 --> 01:51:45,239
really know what the issue is.
So there's just nothing to be happier,

1753
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:51,520
really depressed. Do they use AI
to like up red stuff? That'd be

1754
01:51:51,640 --> 01:51:56,359
fuck? I don't. I think
it's just because it's bare bones than the

1755
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,920
emulations. Well I guess, yeah, but it's just that that's poor.

1756
01:52:00,199 --> 01:52:02,119
So let's start the show. Yep, I'm bringing it in right now.

1757
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:05,479
Oh nope, I gotta fix your
camera and I'll bring it in. Where

1758
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:15,920
the hell did you go? Just
just let's do this. See Mike for

1759
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:18,600
the game? Do we need to
see Mike? Also, what do you

1760
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:27,079
have, like show what you had
to right click on the thing and say

1761
01:52:27,720 --> 01:52:31,520
and unchecked showing non video participants?
Yeah? I did? Okay, perfect,

1762
01:52:32,119 --> 01:52:36,039
That's that's the whole way this thing
works. Yeah, I don't know

1763
01:52:36,119 --> 01:52:41,199
what. There's not an option to
permally yes, just permanently do it right,

1764
01:52:42,199 --> 01:52:45,880
But whatever, we're all right here, we're figuring it out. Okay.

1765
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:51,479
If this score was the health enough
Voice Services, it would I think

1766
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:57,239
I'm just seeing the problem. Let
me fix my problem real quick. Why

1767
01:52:57,359 --> 01:53:00,760
oh why are you? Why did
you move? All right? You said

1768
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:01,920
you were moving me that one time. Yeah, it's not your fault.

1769
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:09,439
We're profession it's okay. Yes,
I don't tell anybody, but we're professionals.

1770
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:13,279
Leave us alone, all right,
there we got Oh. Yes,

1771
01:53:13,359 --> 01:53:18,159
it's just kind of like a great
piece of software. It's definitely like infallible.

1772
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:21,520
It's like it's doing its job,
but like it gives you so much

1773
01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:25,640
power that you kind of like you
go too far and then you're like,

1774
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:27,840
well I could do that, and
I could do this, and I could

1775
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:29,680
make it look a little bit better, and then you end up doing a

1776
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:31,520
million things when you could have just
done one simple thing. But whatever,

1777
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:35,279
we're ready to go. I'm gonna
bring us back in. Sorry, Mikey,

1778
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:41,920
we have another breaks. This is
crazy. They're gonna be four breaks

1779
01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:45,520
in the Yeah, congratulations, I
hope you're happy. A lot of things

1780
01:53:46,319 --> 01:53:54,760
an embarrassment of riches. Yes,
okay, let's see ding. Make sure

1781
01:53:54,760 --> 01:53:59,399
to account for me dropping a stream
ding. I don't want to man,

1782
01:54:00,319 --> 01:54:04,520
where are we going there? It
is? Okay, I need this one

1783
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:08,319
two up even though it's a three
up. I called it a two up,

1784
01:54:08,359 --> 01:54:15,680
and I'm never gonna fix that.
I'm so distraught I can't get any

1785
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:17,680
more. Still, you still can't
get over the all card thing. No,

1786
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:25,880
that's why I was only pulling the
war Zone. What is that he

1787
01:54:26,039 --> 01:54:29,880
needs to look good next to Nicki
Minaje. Oh my god, which,

1788
01:54:29,960 --> 01:54:33,800
by the way, y'all aren't y'all
don't play Call of Duty? But I

1789
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:35,800
was. I was playing war Zone
with the boys there a night and there's

1790
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:39,520
a squad Nicki minajes. And let
me tell you when we were loing.

1791
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:42,920
God, damn, they put some
effort into the skin. All right,

1792
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:45,119
I'm playing Call of Duty, that's
all I need to hear. Yeah,

1793
01:54:45,439 --> 01:54:46,880
hell yeah, I want. I
want to play as her, and I

1794
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:49,399
want people to play against me.
Ask her and step on me. That's

1795
01:54:49,399 --> 01:54:54,439
what I want. You think you
think we would get squad and convinced Jeff

1796
01:54:54,520 --> 01:55:00,479
to get to get the skin.
Oh yeah, yeah, if we tell

1797
01:55:00,520 --> 01:55:01,840
him we're gonna play it without him, he'll get fomo and he'll do anything.

1798
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:05,279
We say, Hell yeah, yes, so that'll be fun, a

1799
01:55:05,319 --> 01:55:14,680
good relationship. Yes, healthy.
Uh the Nicki's minage, just the plural,

1800
01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:18,560
says connor Wood. That's good.
They didn't have my flavor of bubbly

1801
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:24,239
side to get this generic giant eagles
sparkling water. Okay about that? How

1802
01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:29,239
that's hard today? Is it to
make a good fucking Expendables movie? How

1803
01:55:29,319 --> 01:55:32,119
could it be so difficult for the
mess it up again? It's thirty one

1804
01:55:32,199 --> 01:55:35,159

01:55:35,199 --> 01:55:39,920
thing in the world. Well,
we'll hang on on Metacritic. How's it

1806
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:47,279
doing on ron Tomato? Is that
critic or audience for kind out loud?

1807
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:50,479
No? No, it's important because
critics hate these kinds of there's no audience.

1808
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,640
The movie's not out yet. He's

insult to the legacy of the Hints
series hell saying so, yeah, that's

I from twos and fourth. Then

1830
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:30,800
my long shot. I'm gonna try
to get on there, even though this

1831
01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:33,960
is a tough year to get a
long shot. What's your what's your long

1832
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:38,760
shot? It's kind of Maori de
Massis. I don't think you've ever played

1833
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:41,880
played some of it before, thing
because I just never played Kateamari and it's

1834
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:44,840
a it's a weird because it seems
like a game I like, I never

1835
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:46,680
played it. Tough. There's like, oh it, it might not even

1836
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:53,279
make it. Holy four is insane. I think it gets brought up as

1837
01:57:53,319 --> 01:57:56,600
one of the best years. Yeah, there's like so many uh like this

1838
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:58,720
is like there was a lot of
good, great stuff happened before this,

1839
01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:00,439
but this is a year where it's
like a lot of people's games who are

1840
01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:04,239
like still their favorite games of all
time are coming out. Yeah, oh

I got that, Marlod. Yeah
no. Moro Wind came out before this,

1846
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:25,439

01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:32,479

came out the same month as Keenom Hearts

1850
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:34,760
two, in March two thousand and
six. I don't know. I still
