floor of my hotel room eating a bunch

8
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.880
of cheese. It's because I was
in dire straits and needed food. Uh.

9
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.600
And where we were in there was
like nothing around us. Yeah,

10
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.400
there were like six restaurants in the
in the place, but it's like they

11
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.959
all closed at reasonable times. And
then I was like, which what was

00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.640
power trip. Yes, me new
did you watch last night? It was

22
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.400
in say we were looking really good. It was so good, incredibly good.

23
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.280
Yes, speaking about so good,
incredibly good. We have or our

24
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:14.599
our dear support, our dear backbone
of this website, Sean. Sean McDowell.

25
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.120
Oh, I thought you were gonna
go back a lar with that one

26
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:24.759
backbone? Alar. What the hell
is with this Cyclops agenda that Jan's trying

27
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.800
to push on us all here?
What is going on? I'm gonna suck

28
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.080
dude, Evan. I think he
might be onto something. What do you

29
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:36.680
mean Cyclops agenda? Like a like
Alps is good but in the day,

30
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:42.520
Thank you, Dan. I never
hated Cyclops, but was like, you

31
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.680
know, he was the boy scouting, so I definitely put him in the

32
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:52.280
camp. No, he's the leader
of the bunch like all these superhero Well,

33
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.840
yeah, sorry, he's got too
much like morality your captain America's You're

34
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.400
Superman's they all suck. They're all
Superman is the one I don't like out

35
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.240
of that buck Superman also, so
we can allreat Superman's weird, I guess.

36
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.360
I guess Superman clos having morality makes
him less like a cop, I

37
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.599
guess. And the arbiter, the
arbiter of all morality on this website and

38
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.360
onto this podcast, Jet Beckler,
that's right. Uh, the final judgment

39
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.520
always ruled by me about Cyclops vibe. Uh, yeah, I think he

40
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.879
falls more into a cop than he
doesn't, so we must cancel Psycle.

41
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.520
You know the comics, he's pretty
anti cop. Actually he's awesome. Ninety

42
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.080
seven. They like got his powers
right now, so it's not like heat

43
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.039
vision it now it's like a kinetic
blasting. He uses it to move around.

44
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.919
Because everyone who worked on that show
played MVC two back in the day,

45
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.439
so they know how cool. Right. That's that's fine though, that's

46
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.719
a good thing they took from the
right thing that actually made Cyclops cool.

47
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.400
But if you have like, you
know, friggin' what is it now,

48
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.879
like sixty years, eighty years,
I don't know how long X men have

49
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:02.159
been around. If you have that
much time, the characters sucking and that's

50
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.879
like, oh, but for the
past two weeks he's been pretty dope because

51
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:14.159
of James Marsden's poor interpretation of that
role in that was bad. I thought

52
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.480
that was terrible. Also, you
were like four when that came out.

53
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.000
What do you? What do you
know? And I had taste back then.

54
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:27.160
I don't think anyone is more improperly
associated with cops though than Punisher,

55
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:33.480
right, like done dirty by got
a bad hand was due. Anytime I

56
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.560
see a truck driver around here with
a Punisher logo and the thin blue line,

57
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.040
I'm like, you're missing the point. You are sing the points man?

58
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.519
Just it's long lost there laying there
in bed at nights staring at the

59
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.879
ceiling. What the fuck did I
do? Uh? Welcome everyone think,

60
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.160
thanks for joining us. So how's
everyone feeling? You know? A portion

61
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.519
of us came just came back from
pack to East. Yeah, and I

62
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.519
had a photo of you by my
bedside I printed out and I left it

63
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.800
there. I'm like, right right
next to then, yes, right next

64
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:09.000
to the Earth. It's very hard
to bring an urn through TSA, it

65
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.240
turns out, I thought, especially
if it's empty. I bet you could

66
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.120
bring an Urn through TSA right,
okay, in and I bet that's fine.

67
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.959
Body ashes. Yet if you especially
if you have TSA pre check,

68
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.360
they let you do whatever you want. Yeah, like, come on in,

69
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:31.480
I think I think you could how
everyone every's good. I was feeling

70
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:36.360
feeling jested ish. No, I'm
getting there though, I felt. I'm

71
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:45.480
like, right now, that's low
man, I'm good. Yesterday was Yesterday

72
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.040
was more like a tough comeback day. But today I'm feeling good. I

73
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.279
think, you know, I think
it was really great. I just want

74
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.120
to say that. I want to
say that Uh Packs Boston Packs, East

75
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.399
Boston. You were cheers yeps,
right cheers. Yeah, you you showed

76
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.480
us a good time. You celebrated
a couple of birthdays, you put someone

77
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:11.360
UH into a new tax bracket,
and you know you served me one of

78
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.000
the best lobster rolls I probably ever
had my entire life. I fucked up.

79
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:16.720
I almost ordered it, but I
was worried to have mayonnaise, and

80
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.959
so I got the fish and chips, which was good. Yeah, there's

81
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.439
no way to know how it would
have been prepared. There was no way

82
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.040
to find out. But no,
I'm gonna blame Manaate for this because I

83
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.680
was telling him I was afraid of
the mayonnaise, and he said, like,

84
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.920
because it didn't say mayonnaise. It
said it was assaulted caramel lobster role.

85
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.720
And that sounded amazing, and he
was like, oh, well,

86
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.959
you know that's how they like adhere
the lobster together typically is with a bunch

87
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.120
of mayos. It might not even
be like mentioned in the things the way

88
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.759
choicely said to Mike Manati while you
were sitting right next to him, no

89
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.079
mayonnaise, Yeah, you have no
excuse pure Boston. They don't do that

90
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:56.680
there there. It's always butter.
It's always butter a lot. Yeah,

91
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.399
I'll go back jan Well, we'll
do a quick road trip over there from

92
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.240
Philly. Easy the geography, we
could do that. Right. You went

93
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.240
back, right, you went and
had another lobster role. I wanted to.

94
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.279
I wanted to, but I when
I was checking out with my bag,

95
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.879
I got out of the hotel room
when everyone else in the hotel room

96
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.319
got out, So there was a
line of million people along trying to check

97
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.839
their bag, and I just went
to the airports. I didn't want to

98
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.600
take care of my bag all day. Wow, I gave up on the

99
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:25.240
dream of getting that lobster role,
and I apologize to you. No,

100
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.120
it's fine, we'll figure out another
time. I'll send you, We'll send

101
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.560
you one. We'll just send you
a lobster from somewhere, all right,

102
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.879
Like such a such a hearty and
heartfelt thanks to everyone who showed up for

103
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.800
those panels. Holy mother God,
was that fun? Right? That was

104
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.879
really special? And uh, great
job everyone pulling those panels off. That

105
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.160
was you guys did a great job
on the beast Cast panel as well.

106
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.879
That was really very fun. You
want to see one of my favorite podcasts

107
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.839
of all time, and you guys
really captured the metel. Oh yeah,

108
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.279
totally. Yeah. So you've never
liked them up to me in that sort

109
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.839
of way that moment like I'm a
big fan at some point later. But

110
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.040
we'll figure it out. I just
wish we could do that in private,

111
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.879
you know, Yeah, sure,
yeah, we could make that happen.

112
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.800
It's not like we haven't had many
of those moments where that could have happened.

113
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.439
Huh. I also want to give
a special shout out to Dan and

114
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.600
NICKI for organizing dan Doco dere because, holy smokes, you look at that

115
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.000
list of tasks uh, maybe we
should put that out for folks that trying

116
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.720
to accomplish by themselves. But like
a laundry list of various different games to

117
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.480
target and to try and do,
and holy shit, I didn't know half

118
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.799
of them. There were a lot, and Nicky really killed it on the

119
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.120
fly because the entire plan was spelled
out that like, Okay, it's very

120
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.360
important that everyone at home and in
the crowd can see both gameplay feeds and

121
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.159
the checklist in the middle at all
times, so they know what people are

122
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.559
going for. And like five minutes
before we go live, we hear,

123
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.039
oh, we can just have one
peet of the time. And so NICKI

124
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.759
with like five minutes prep is like
cool as a cucumber. They're just like,

125
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.720
oh, yeah, I'll just I'll
just you know, live switch it.

126
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.399
And it's like, I know,
if I was in that position,

127
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.159
I would have been like, what
the fuck? I can't take these like

128
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.320
monkey ranches thrown in the last second. NICKI just killed it. Those switching

129
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.720
between stuff, Nicky was amazing.
Dan could have printed more paper out,

130
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.519
only three eight by tens for the
the winners. Glossy paper is expensive.

131
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:24.720
Yeah, yeah, I get up
there. Yeah I guess I have some

132
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.360
apologizing to do with how poorly I
played the video game Super Mario six and

133
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.000
four. But he's a pretty obscure
one. Yeah. I got pretty close

134
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.720
to winning though, Like, honestly, if I feel like I wouldn't got

135
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.399
that that death on that first run
at Donkey Kong Junior, which was real

136
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.960
bullshit. Look, I think you
would have been neck and neck with jan

137
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.039
You. I was really close in
the end. Actually, in their combination

138
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.480
between backlar having no idea how to
play Marios sixty four and down a giant

139
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.679
thing. The swing was there,
but the real sepriting factory is the double

140
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.279
point thing that Mike got, where
I was like, oh yeah, yeah,

141
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.960
yeah, literally twice as many points
as anyone who could possibly get in

142
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.480
that right time. Yeah, that
should have been better thought out, I

143
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.639
think, but also nerfit. Yeah, just like in terms of parody,

144
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.320
right, No, I like,
it's crazy I had not played that and

145
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.200
didn't we talk about this, Danton, weren't you like, oh, have

146
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.480
you played a lot of sixty four? Someone asked me that and I was

147
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.919
like, I never owned a sixty
four. I talked to you well,

148
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.039
because it was like I was like, maybe I should play in it.

149
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.919
I foresaw all of this. I'm
like, maybe I should play in sixty

150
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.480
four. Everyone's like, no,
it's only funny if you fight against Mike,

151
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.720
And I'm like, you're right,
Oh, but it's gonna go bad

152
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.799
for back a lot. That's fine. No, it's totally fine. It's

153
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.720
totally fine. It's great. I
think I think I'm gonna like play that

154
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.600
game all the way through. Now, yeah, you should like, yeah,

155
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.279
yeah, I've never done I never
did it? Is it still every

156
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.120
twenty five years? I'm sorry,
I haven't played in four days. It's

157
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.120
extremely fun. Still, it's a
good one hundred and twenty star game.

158
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.759
Yep, Okay, it's a good
sixteen star game. That's right. Yeah.

159
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.120
Also, another shout out to Tom
Caswell, the homie from helping us

160
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.840
out with various needs Tomas for the
weekend. Tom was great. Tom's a

161
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:26.840
good Egg video Games. Something else
that happened last week was GDC Game the

162
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.879
Game Developer Conference. I think we
should go to GDC one year. I

163
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:37.120
think I think just come by and
I thought I would like. When I

164
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:37.679
saw some stuff that was happening this
year, I'm like, oh, I

165
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.320
should be there, so I'll go
with you next year. There we go.

166
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.559
I was accosted by one the politest
man in games media, perhaps Ben

167
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.960
Hansen, just pointing a camera in
my face. I didn't sign a waiver

168
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.639
or anything. That's been good dude, very very pleasant smile. But I

169
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.480
checked out a couple of games.
I was at GDC for perhaps like hour

170
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:07.279
ish. I checked out South Park
snow Day, which I had no idea

171
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.240
was a game until last week.
It is a I don't know how to

172
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.279
describe it. It's like a shooter
of sorts. It's like a destiny like

173
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:26.000
I guess, but there the scale
is incredibly smaller. You have these modifier

174
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:33.039
cards and abilities that alter your jazz
bullshit cards that get thrown against you,

175
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.399
that modify how the enemies behave like
now your melee weapon is a pool noodle.

176
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.639
It just feels very odd to have
a new South Park game and it's

177
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.399
still to be leaning into all of
the older south Park jokes in twenty twenty

178
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.840
four. Well, also, just
looking at it, I haven't played it

179
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.080
yet, it looks like the sixty
four game, the first person shooter,

180
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.000
you know, which was that great. So it's so weird after the last

181
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.279
couple of south Park games, the
last big ones, you know, going

182
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.240
in a very certain direction that is
is good games and RPGs. Now for

183
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.799
them to take step to step back, and uh, Greb, were you

184
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.279
saying that, like Trey and Matt
were like talking it up and signing off

185
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.000
and saying they were involved. I
mean, this is this is made by

186
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.039
like that. When you started the
game, it says that south Park Studios

187
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.519
or whatever, they're deeply involved.
Matt and Trey are do all the voices.

188
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.840
They talk about it in an active
way as if they like they did

189
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.759
the writing, which I'm I'm pretty
sure they did. They When you start

190
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.399
up the game, they talk about
how you are the new kid again,

191
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.159
just the same new kid that screwed
up the last two games everyone was playing

192
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.440
because he got two op and now
we have to start start over and stuff.

193
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.919
And so it's a continuation of the
stories from from Stick of Truth and

194
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.639
the Holy Buttthole or whatever but hole. Yeah, and so it's like,

195
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.039
okay, so it's like they are
maintaining the video game lore in this game.

196
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.399
So it's part of that like lineage
there. So yeah, like they're

197
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.559
taking it pretty seriously. I mean, I get the sense that Matt and

198
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.639
Trey like video games a whole bunch, and to it's like, well,

199
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.639
we don't just want an RPG,
we also like shooter stuff. Maybe if

200
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.000
we had our own Fortnite or something, that'd be cool, and it just

201
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.879
comes up very short. I think
that the you know, three D world

202
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.480
and then the the the south Park
style animated characters doesn't look too bad.

203
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.399
It is very reminiscent of that South
Park game still though, or in sixty

204
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.519
four game. And then you start
playing it and there's it's just there's just

205
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.240
not much there. It's just kind
of weird and boring. And there's like

206
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.360
card things you can play to like
to modify your character, and that means

207
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.200
one of those is like, okay, you're gonna get a big fart and

208
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.080
then you can like get a and
that like enables you to jump up higher

209
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.720
and then you can like land on
people and surprise them and stuff and say,

210
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.879
okay, it works in theory,
but it feels pretty janky once you

211
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.960
start playing it. Yeah, once
you like get into an enemy a bunch

212
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:54.200
of enemy encounters, the tools that
you're disposed don't really feel good enough to

213
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.320
handle any of those enemies, like
you'll have an option to be like a

214
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.399
bow caster or like a mage,
and I want to picking a mage for

215
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.200
the demo, And it just feel
felt very bad to try and tackle like

216
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.480
big groups of enemies because you have
to charge up your shot to actually take

217
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:16.000
care and hit multiple enemies versus like
a little puny fireball. Some of the

218
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:24.600
card modifiers seemed like they could eventually
become opie and take it and suit your

219
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.080
needs better, but they feel very
shit cards, like that's like literally what

220
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.879
they're called. I think the idea
is to let them get op Yeah.

221
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.320
It did feel very jarring though,
to have that switch to go back to

222
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.960
like the three D polygonal stuff,
especially after like I thought Stick of Truth

223
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.200
and Fractured Butthole or Butthole looked very
good, because it just felt like the

224
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.360
cartoon that going back to this felt
like a weird step back. The art

225
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.120
style looks bad and three D it
always has. Yeah, yeah, yeah

226
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.840
it looks weird. Yes, when
you're just looking at one of the characters,

227
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.200
you're like you begin to see like, okay, they're kind of moving

228
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.279
like the show, and then in
the three D world it actually looks fucked

229
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:07.120
up, it looks weird. I
played only a little bit of this before

230
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.080
we had to go to PAS and
I wasn't like rare in to play more,

231
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:12.720
but I did like look a little
bit at the guide. They mentioned

232
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:17.759
that there is a four to five
hour like single player experience, and then

233
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:22.480
there's the online mode. I'm not
sure if that is, like if it's

234
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.120
PvP. I assume it's all PvP, but there's also a hord mode.

235
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.159
All of it just seems like not
something I want to play more of all

236
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.840
that much, and so we might
on this website. Yeah it's either that

237
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.879
our Suicide Squad one of those,
but I did when I was playing through

238
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.159
it, it was I think maybe
it was the single player campaign with co

239
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.240
op, So yeah, that sounds
right. You can subject a friend to

240
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.679
that if you want to, I
guess. But another game that I checked

241
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:56.120
out that I was very excited to
see was Tales of Kenzera Zoo. This

242
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.279
was revealed at the Game Awards,
I want to say last year, a

243
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.400
very heartfelt presentation, and yo,
if y'all thought The Prince of Persia the

244
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:10.039
Lost Crown had very good two D
movement and was a very good Castle Vania

245
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:15.759
metroid. This one blows it out
of the watery Okay, well, that's

246
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:21.440
right, all right. The air
dash that you get feels so crisp and

247
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.960
precise, and like the level of
air control in it. The double jump

248
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.519
you get is nice enough, and
like the what is it called triangle jumping

249
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.480
from all to wall feels okay.
But being able to zip around the level

250
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.279
incredibly fast, and you have two
forms of attack. You have a melee

251
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.319
focused mask, and then you switch
your mask to be more projectile based,

252
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.519
and there is like a blocking and
pairying system, and then if you are

253
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.240
playing as the projectile mask mode,
you have an active reload. And I

254
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.319
looked at Abu, the director of
the game, and I'm like, you,

255
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.279
motherfucker you you added an active to
this game, and he was like,

256
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:06.000
yeah, man, I fucking did. And the game is full of

257
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:10.559
South African imagery, pulling from like
the mythology and like the lore of of

258
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.880
that culture, and it's really done
well. The story the game is his

259
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.799
his way of processing like the loss
of his father, So there's like a

260
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:25.160
lot of heartfelt elements throughout the story
and like the atmosphere of the game.

261
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.359
But like even just playing it,
if you kind of like tuned out of

262
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.599
that. I think there's gonna be
so much for you there. I accidentally

263
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:37.680
bunned over to the map and the
map looked gigantic and it does kind of

264
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:45.400
remind me of, God, what
is the furry two D platform or yeah

265
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.920
something? Oh okay, will you
said furry two D platform? I head

266
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:55.839
was going a very different directions to
uh, and it reminds me a lot

267
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.599
of that, just like the the
bright, fuzzy visuals, like all the

268
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:04.799
bloom effects and everything. But like, I honestly can't wait to for all

269
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.839
y'all to just like get get your
hands on it, because like the I

270
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.480
think you could just get by only
focusing on one of the masks, because

271
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:18.039
both masks modes have skill trees,
and like the Melee one felt like really

272
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.119
really good where you have like I
love when a game two D game specifically

273
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.279
has like that, like down b
to like slam down. Any game with

274
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:32.039
that, well, do a ranking
of like ground butt stomps Yeah, yeah,

275
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.480
yeah, because this one has a
really good one. Does Yoshi's Island

276
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.920
make it dan? Yeah? It
makes them sound Yeah, it's good.

277
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:48.160
Incredible hull cultimate destruction you can do
yeahod ones May Sports Classic definitely does it,

278
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.279
and he squirts during it. Sunshines
is better because he becomes like a

279
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.359
meteor as he falls. That's good. Yeah, that's good. Ranking of

280
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.880
butt stumps, Yeah, we got
to do that. But I'm really excited

281
00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:02.480
for this game to come out.
I believe it comes out next month and

282
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.759
the Kurt and Divina are our home
at GameSpot wrote a very wonderful piece about

283
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:12.240
the game, talking with a Boo, I suggest you go check that out,

284
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.920
and I hope I'm hoping for me
personally that that is the last big

285
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.559
game to come out and then I
can just work on the backclog because there's

286
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:27.440
too much. There's too many games
coming down. Yeah, come out April

287
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.920
twenty something, I want to say, Okay, fairly soon. I'm looking

288
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:34.920
forward to that one. I played
the demo during a Steam Next fest.

289
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.960
They had a demo for that,
and it's only got to play a little

290
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.759
bit of it, but I was
very excited because since they have the ranged

291
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.559
combat in it, Metroid Vanyas are
always just the Castle Vania side. They

292
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.079
are never the Metroid side, and
so that except Serge one, the one

293
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.680
that is yes, yeah, the
bad one we don't care. I know

294
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.039
you don't like Merge. Yeah,
you don't either. The first one is

295
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.039
great. Yeah, it's really good
kids. What do you mean, dude,

296
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:10.200
nys Metroid sucks at axiom Verse takes
from n Yes Metroid yeast. Yeah,

297
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:14.079
you can like an analog stick and
there's more weapons and stuff. I'm

298
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.240
not getting into it. I'm happy
that a good game is he to have

299
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.680
the the metroid side things where you
can't just like run and shoot, and

300
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:27.079
that just feels really good and I'm
happy that that is being represented and not

301
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.559
just the melee side thing. It's
like as good as Prince of Persia is,

302
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.559
clearly that's entirely focused on melee sid
things, So I was kind of

303
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:40.960
missing that run and gun aspect.
Go ahead, grip, Yeah, I

304
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:42.000
was just gonna say, yeah,
that's what I was noticing as well.

305
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:47.079
Having something more Metroid like was getting
me excited. And I think the the

306
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.640
style is very good. How do
the visual standout compared to Prince of Persia

307
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.319
because I know, even going back
to Prince of Persia j it's pretty similar

308
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:57.000
to me from a distance, but
I don't know being in the world,

309
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.480
I think it's more saturated and and
brighter. And I know that there are

310
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:06.519
parts of Prince of Persia specifically like
the cut scenes and the character presentations,

311
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.480
like when you would meet a new
character. Yeah, but I think it's

312
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.200
like a overall a brighter visual palatee
and there's a lot more glowy bits because

313
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:22.480
of the masks and everything. I
should say that Aboo Slium is also the

314
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.079
guy the actor from Raised by Wolves, the Ridley Scott Hbo Mini Solow.

315
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.480
That was kind of wild to see. It's like you also, you're also

316
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:37.640
into games. Holy shit. Nope, times, Nope times. Speaking about

317
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.599
no, there's no way to pivot
to this Princess Pet's showtime, Dan,

318
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.680
Yeah, I played a bunch of
that yesterday. I think I'm near the

319
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.720
end ish already. Oh it's not
long I played, you know, I

320
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.559
played all through Raw last night,
and I played a lot during the day

321
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.960
and uh, yeah, I think
it's like seven or eight hours from what

322
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:03.880
I'm hearing first run through. It's
a nice game. How much is it?

323
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:08.599
Is this a full price? I
do not think so. It was

324
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.400
a good question that would affect my
thoughts on if it's like thirty or forty.

325
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.839
I think that's that sounds okay,
it's full price. Yeah, is

326
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.359
it seven? I think it's I
think it's sixty sixteen. Okay, that

327
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.119
seems like all lies. It's light
in terms of what you can do,

328
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.160
it is, but also it's got
that thing that it's got a very Kirby's

329
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.440
epic yarn thing where I do feel
like if a kid wanted to play it,

330
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.519
it would not be that difficult.
There are a few boss fights where

331
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.160
there's some light pattern recognition, as
kid expert Dan Ryker goes, right,

332
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.079
that's right. I think, Oh, I don't think Dylan could do it,

333
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.119
but like Jeff kids could of course, Yeah, reps kids. There

334
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.839
is a decent amount of variety in
the different like suits or outfits or versions

335
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.160
of Peach. You know, it
starts like sword fighter and Cowgirl, and

336
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:53.920
like each one has a gimmick.
You know, the Cowgirl's got a lasso

337
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.359
and she can like grab stuff and
throw it. There's like the unique ones

338
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.160
are kind of fun, like the
Chef one. It feels like Mario Party

339
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.200
mini games because you're just kind of
like floating on a swing and like sometimes

340
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.880
you'll be like going up against a
bad guy and you have to like design

341
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:07.720
cakes the quickest and you have you
know, like, oh, I got

342
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.039
to put these four drops here,
and I got to do this icing around

343
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.400
the edge. And I think the
chef stuff has been fun. Sometimes it

344
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.720
turns into like an auto runner.
When you're in Ninja, there's like some

345
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.279
slight puzzle stuff. When you're a
detective, it's like a Sherlock Holmes outfit

346
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.119
and you walk around with the magnifying
glass. So it's not all platform or

347
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.400
segments. I'd say it's eighty percent. Platforming is kind of the main hook

348
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.960
of the outfits. Sometimes you'll be
swimming like a mermaid and you know,

349
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.119
the Ninja stuff, the auto running, but it's I like the variety.

350
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:37.960
I like going into each level and
being like, okay, I wonder what

351
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.160
the gimmick's going to be here.
And then there's I want to say,

352
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.559
there's like fourteen to sixteen or something
like that based on the collection screen,

353
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.880
and they will have you know,
they'll double up where it's like, okay,

354
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.359
here's the second you know, sword
fighter level or whatever. So once

355
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.920
you've learned the abilities and stuff,
it's all like one button stuff. So

356
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:57.720
it's like when you're the sword fighter, this button will slash with the sword,

357
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:02.119
you know, So the level,
you're not actively switching between the outfits.

358
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:06.240
They're catered towards the specific gimmicks,
right. Yeah, Like it's set

359
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.640
in like a theater and there's like
five stories to it in a basement,

360
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:12.039
and like there's four doors in each
one, and you'll see like here's a

361
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.079
chef hat above this one door,
so you go in there. It's like

362
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.200
all right, going to do a
chef level and getting onto the sword door.

363
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:18.920
That's the sword fighter level, So
like you know what you're getting into,

364
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.200
and like there's usually a part of
the beginning of each where it's like

365
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.160
you're just peach and you can do
this like sparkle move that makes like enemies

366
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.960
turn from evil to good or like
oh this bush didn't have berries on it

367
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.880
and now it does. And then
you eventually get to the hat or the

368
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.000
outfit or whatever it is, and
you turn into the gimmick and the rest

369
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.960
of the level is that. I
fired up the demo last night, and

370
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.480
from why I could tell you it
very much seems like Baby's first video game

371
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.400
in a very intentional way. It's
like this is a game where like rub

372
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.000
would sit down with gimmicks and be
like, hey, go over there and

373
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.519
press the bun to do the thing, like if you were teaching the kid

374
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.720
how to play a video game for
the first time. Totally. Yeah,

375
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.640
like the low stakes, low consequences
to dying. I think Kirby have a

376
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.680
guarant did a similar thing where it's
like you're just getting the coin analog whatever

377
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.759
it is as sparkles or you know, beads and Kirby and when you die

378
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.640
you lose some of those. But
like, the checkpoints are very forgiving.

379
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.799
It's very very easy. But that's
not a knock on it, you know.

380
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.319
I do think that young kids or
people who haven't really played video games

381
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.240
before, I think would have fun
with this. And I'm not not having

382
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:26.839
fun with it. I'm just you
know, I'm just like, oh,

383
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.880
okay, that's clever, that's nice, you know. I'm not like,

384
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:36.160
yeah, you know right. The
Pardon Me is like a little bit sad

385
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:40.920
we can't get the Prince's Speech game
that is for all audiences. But you

386
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.079
know, I think it's this better
this than nothing. And when I did

387
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:47.599
show my kids the demo and had
them play it, they it was working

388
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.799
that way because it does use a
lot of familiar video game verbiage. You

389
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:52.960
just go here, press the button, do the things you need to do

390
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.319
in other video games, but it
is, you know, not constrained with

391
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.079
like, oh, it's very difficult
to actually secute that. It's just like

392
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.880
difficult to understand how a video game's
talking to you a little bit. So

393
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.519
it was all right, yeah,
you need to do this first, and

394
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.119
then that's going to knock down this
wall, and then you can go do

395
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.960
that, and that stuff is actually
still challenging for a kid, even when

396
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.880
it's a one button press, and
even when it is like there's not a

397
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.599
lot of enemies around you, they
don't necessarily like just fall into that line

398
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.640
of thinking. So it's like,
Okay, I will have to kind of

399
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:23.279
sit with her a little bit here
while she figures this stuff out. But

400
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:27.000
then I did let her play,
and it was a little frustrating to her,

401
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:30.920
like trying to figure that stuff out, but eventually she would get it,

402
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.119
you know, she would come around
and be like, oh, okay,

403
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.000
I've poked at all these things and
now I get it. And she

404
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.519
was able to overcome most of the
challenges. And I think the chef one

405
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.720
was maybe a little bit more difficult
for her than the what was the other

406
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.200
one in the demo? Was it
not the Ninja? Maybe the sword Fighters

407
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.000
sword Fighters sword Fighters? Yeah,
she got that one pretty quickly. Chef

408
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.599
one is like one of the more
challenging ones, like because it's got these

409
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.240
timed objectives and it is kind of
like you have like a small canvas to

410
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.640
be sprying this icing on and it's
like this big, chunky icing stuff.

411
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:02.319
So I fucked up a few times, and some of the timing stuff like

412
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.640
it has like some weird spikes and
difficulty like these cookie baking mini games and

413
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:08.119
stuff like that. So I did
find the Chef one. The cheff you

414
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.799
never say chef, right, Yeah, definitely doesn't ever say chef no.

415
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:17.200
Ye. The Chef carts Yeah yeah, that's probably among the harder ones timing

416
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:22.480
wise. Yeah. So I'm happy
this game exists. I will be getting

417
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.440
it for the kids and we'll see. Maybe I'll spend some time with it

418
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.480
myself. I'm a big Nintendo fan, and I like Princess Peach as a

419
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.079
character, and I think it's cool
that they are letting her express herself in

420
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:33.880
ways that aren't like you know,
Super Princess Peach with you know, the

421
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:40.599
emotional powers, the crying and stuff
better than that. But you know,

422
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.279
part of me is like, man, it does feel like I don't know,

423
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.960
maybe this isn't right, but I
feel like you're doing Peach a little

424
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.039
dirty here by not letting her have
like the big, full Princess Peach adventure.

425
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.319
It would be nice if she could
have more of like a Kirby that

426
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.920
is like targeting kids, but a
Dulkin to you play it because there are

427
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.839
more challenging things that you can do
it eventually, right, it was if

428
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:06.119
it was in line with Kirby and
the Forgotten Realm, Forgotten City, Forgotten

429
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.720
Town, forgot Land, thank you. Uh. If it was more in

430
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.720
lines with that, I think zero
complaints because my kids love Forgotten Land,

431
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.440
play it over and over and over
again. And that also feels like a

432
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:21.200
substantial, big game, and so
I think that is the right line to

433
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:22.319
walk. So yes, if they
did something like that, I'd be very

434
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.799
happy. Yeah. I think the
best like playing as Peach situation is still

435
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.599
like Mario two or three D World
Like. I think those are the investments

436
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.720
you just want to play as each
throughout entire game. That's right. Uh,

437
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:41.640
Speaking about pretty wild and I guess
I know still God Trent Man being

438
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.759
bigne your jet lagged, it's the
jet lag. It's everyone knows that a

439
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:51.519
time zone change effects segues. Everyone
need I need to like go run in

440
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:56.599
a forest or something or like,
and then remember I can't swim. Oh,

441
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.599
don't do that. Then about like
an unending a dungeon that I'm going

442
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:07.720
to do with your three reload?
Oh oh, we're going to me Okay,

443
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.720
trying to for I'm trying to force
a segue there is where's the segment

444
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.440
going? Yeah, you're still playing
reload. I'm still playing Persona three reload

445
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.680
if you know, you know with
personal games, I'm in the final calendar

446
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.799
month, so I'm prepping for the
final battle. Here. I'm gonna be

447
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.039
wrapping up the game, if not
over the weekend, then like the next

448
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.799
play session during the week. I
basically just have to do the final boss.

449
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.079
I want to bring it back up
because one talked about this a little

450
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.279
bit on BombCast for Revengeance at one
time that we did a podcast in the

451
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.319
middle of a seven hour Mario Kart
screams, so people remember I have caught

452
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.759
that one. But also just the
more I play it, the more I

453
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:52.759
understand what our pal Michael Hyam was
saying on the review cast, where there's

454
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.359
more quality of life stuff to this
than I thought there would be, because

455
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:02.119
as you go through the game,
uh, they keep adding stuff that was

456
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:06.200
not in the original, and eventually
these layers keep building up, all the

457
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:10.279
small things keep adding up to at
the end of it. You play a

458
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:14.119
persona game and a lot of it
is doing the social links, and that's

459
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.640
a big chunk of it. And
then, especially in person of three,

460
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.960
you know, the combat almost is
secondary. But by the time I'm at

461
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.440
the end of the game, here, Tartaris, my least favorite part of

462
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.720
the game, has so much things, so many things to do, and

463
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.480
all these little things that I can
attempt to do that I'm like, all

464
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.880
right, I'm actually I'm kind of
digging being in Targaris. Now, like

465
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:38.200
my least favorite part of the game, they have overhauled enough that I'm kind

466
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.039
of digging it. And so the
more I play it, the more I'm

467
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.519
really liking it. And that's just
you know, everything else about Persona three,

468
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:51.359
the music, the presentation, the
story is really good. In Persona

469
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.759
three, all of it's coming together
in a way that I was a little

470
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.799
lukewarm when we were first talking about
in that review cast, But now I'm

471
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:04.480
a point where it's it's really hitting
with me, and I am really liking

472
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.359
everything that they've done the remate to
make it more accessible and just to make

473
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:12.440
it feel more modern. I would
say, hmm, yeah, I'm looking.

474
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.279
That's on the top of the list
for circling back to after all these

475
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:22.200
game releases stop, these games stop
releasing, Sean, how many hours would

476
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.480
you say you've put in at this
point? Well, I can see because

477
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.839
as I on your safe out,
I'm at seventy hours and I'm like at

478
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:32.359
the final boss fight. So I
did. Yeah, I didn't think I

479
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:37.440
was spent quite as much time because
my original Persona th replay through was about

480
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.880
fifty five ish. But I've been
spending a little more time now that I

481
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.200
know how Persona games work. On
the whole, I'm basically one hundred percent

482
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.240
of it trying to get a social
link stone or anything like that. I

483
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:53.519
do want to say, since it's
been brought up though with Persona three reload,

484
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:59.480
I think these kinds of games this
is more of what I want to

485
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:04.720
see in nowadays. A game that
is smaller in scope and then very much

486
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:08.720
carried on its art style and its
music and everything like that. Sure it's

487
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:13.759
a remake of a PS two game, but just generally speaking, these smaller

488
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:19.240
in scope development wise games that have
a lot of depth to them in the

489
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.559
characters and everything like that, I
think I think we need a little bit

490
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:30.720
more more games not being afraid to
be smaller in that way, because with

491
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:36.599
everything's ballooning out control in terms of
photorealistic graphics and these long de have times

492
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.279
for these open world games filled with
so much stuff to do, it's nice

493
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:46.039
to play a game where it's just
story driven and you kind of just getting

494
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.880
into the characters and the voice acting
is really good and everything like that,

495
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.200
and that's carrying me forward. I
really like it. I want to like

496
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:59.160
fashion that take into an excuse to
call you old from just like not able

497
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.799
to connect. They talk about my
We've game, like I'm like, oh,

498
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.839
you're getting old there, turbo humping, So that's not it's not it.

499
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.079
So I'm just gonna just not make
that joke. It's okay, Jeff,

500
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:12.519
I've always been forty, so don't
worry. Everyone knows that, Okay.

501
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.920
I appreciate it that way. No, I agree with you, Sean,

502
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.320
Like I found myself almost tempted to
go back and play Final Fantasy ten

503
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.239
of all games, just because of
like, bro, that's on the list

504
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.079
I saw in the Steam sale.
I'm like, I'm gonna play some ten

505
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:28.559
too, right now. I saw
people talk about the Did you know that

506
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:35.440
they made Yuna's pistols into a controller? Yes? Yes, yeah, like

507
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.760
like the Ari fourteen saw controller,
but it's her guns. I know that's

508
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:46.119
so fucking sick well about of a
game, But I just remember ten just

509
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:51.719
being like pretty pretty linear. Uh, And then as a child, just

510
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.000
me thinking like I don't mind this, yeah, just goind me where to

511
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:58.239
go. I'm I'm a dumb child. And then maybe I've become like a

512
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:04.239
lazy adult or also forty years old
where I look at a giant map sometimes

513
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:06.760
and I'm like, oh the same
for me, Chief, my God,

514
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:08.239
just want me where to go.
Just give me the markers, give me

515
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:15.039
the dead space critical path line,
give me the mic Minatti critical path to

516
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:16.800
get there as fast as possible.
I don't need all these side quests.

517
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.679
Just give me the quest, like
like I was talking about when we were

518
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.519
talking Rebirth. I just did the
main story of Rebirth because I'm like,

519
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.000
look, the open world is there
for all of y'all who want it,

520
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:30.719
it ain't for me. I'm just
I'm going from town to town story progress.

521
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:35.400
Yeah, I'm slowly progressing with Rebirth
as well, on the side of

522
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.519
everything, just chugging through the story
here and there, still enjoying my time.

523
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:43.159
But I look at my world map
and it is so foggy. It

524
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.920
is so foggy because I am just
like going straight to the marker I'm taking.

525
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:50.239
I'm just jumping off cliffs to try
and get there as soon as possible

526
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.519
and skipping as many of the side
stuff, which I'm sure is great and

527
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.719
I'm happy that people are happy having
it. There's just so much in that

528
00:35:55.880 --> 00:36:00.599
game. Like, I don't need
these twelve mini games, but thanks.

529
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.679
I guess I've I don't know about
y'all. I experience a lot of hand

530
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.480
fatigue, a lot and Dan with
your broken fingies. This might apply to

531
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:12.880
you as well, But I've had
to turn off vibration on a lot of

532
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:19.000
games just because like, really much, we're too much. I haven't Yeah.

533
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.920
P S five specifically with the adapt
the triggers of like just let me

534
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.760
press the button PlayStation, please just
stop. The adaptive triggers are so dumb.

535
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:30.079
Why why do you want me to
make it feel like my controller is

536
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:35.360
broken? No, I I I
take umbrage with that. I think,

537
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:39.360
yeah, no, they they're cool
in the right application. Yes, sure,

538
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.519
I agree that, uh you know, playing a shooting game where you're

539
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:46.880
like, oh cool, more energy
needs to be used to like make the

540
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:51.519
the bullet go boom. Like that's
dumb, and I turn that off a

541
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:55.119
lot. But I do think there
are like really fun kind of uh you

542
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:00.079
know, little moments that it like
enhances the overall thing if they're like really

543
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:06.119
uh developed with that in mind,
in a real clever I'm really curious what

544
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:12.039
you would shout out examples there was
something. There was one in uh oh

545
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:17.360
the I think it's good. In
Spider Man. I feel like a remake

546
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:21.280
Are four had some good like you
know, gun effects and things like that.

547
00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:23.320
Yeah, the Spy, and I
think I think it's good. I

548
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:28.400
think it works for guns when you're
not just like spraying and praying right like

549
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:32.599
when you're in Ari four, we're
like mostly every bullet is like this very

550
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:38.360
sort of like calculated uh you know
moment. I think it's it's more impactful

551
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:42.000
in that use case. But yes, I think Spider Man two did a

552
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:46.639
really good job of making a lot
of uses. If the man what is

553
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:51.480
it in So there's like puzzle solving
with like opening locks where you have to

554
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.760
like, uh, you know,
to like separately, Yeah, we have

555
00:37:54.840 --> 00:38:00.800
to like separately control the pressure you're
putting on each trigger to make them line

556
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:04.079
up in a column. I think
it was just a shooting web felt really

557
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.920
good, like pulling through web,
and there was almost like that it's the

558
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.039
resistance, right, Like, I
think the resistance is really where it like

559
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:14.440
uh comes in and it's sort of
cool. And and I do think,

560
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.199
like I agree in the sense that
like a lot of the hype for that

561
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:23.519
was front loaded because Astrovious was so
perfectly tuned. We predicted that we all

562
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:27.320
like yeah, said the same thing
totally. I remember saying it in a

563
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:30.559
video where I was like, this
is gonna be awesome right now and then

564
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:34.559
might get left by the wayside.
And I think for the most part it

565
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.400
has. But when it does work
well, I think it pops. I

566
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:40.719
think it's really really special. I
had to turn it off after a while,

567
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:43.960
but I did enjoy it in Ratchet
and Clank. It was good.

568
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:46.719
Yeah, that's the game where a
lot of people like me and Robert talking

569
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:51.719
about a few times there where everyone
was talking about some of the effects,

570
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:54.000
like the the double barrel shotgun you
pull a halfway to shoot one barrel and

571
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.480
then yeah, another time to shoot
there. I'm like, that's that's neat,

572
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:01.280
that's sure, but yeah, that's
so So many of these examples that

573
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:06.000
you guys are bringing up is either
oh, I feel resistance on something for

574
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:09.960
the sake of realism, or it's
something that could be accomplished without the resistance.

575
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:13.480
Like the example that I just I
want the resistance. I want that.

576
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:17.599
For some of us, that's just
like it just stresses my hands out,

577
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.360
I can't do it. But like
the shotgun thing, well, trigger

578
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:25.719
down and then trigger up accomplishes the
same thing. And that's sort of the

579
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.280
mentality I'm having anytime they try to
put this stuff into these games, they

580
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:35.719
are they're definitely trying to stretch it
in there. They're like they try to

581
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:37.599
justify it. Exactly. They have
this thing, they're supposed to use it,

582
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.599
and you know it's we've We've had
this for years and years and years,

583
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:44.280
you know, all the of the
the effect like people using the microphone

584
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:49.679
on DS and touch screen controls.
Was bad about that? A lot of

585
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:53.400
walking over logs and balancing the like
shaking a grenade tag up and resistance when

586
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:59.239
you could just write using the back
touch on a vida in like Charted,

587
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:05.239
Golden the b whatever the game.
One game there's there's always one game that's

588
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:10.440
very good at just like it's like
the cousin of the person who like spearheaded

589
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:14.639
it at Sony, Like it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I

590
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.960
I know how this works. I
could remember this, no problem for me.

591
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.119
The best thing about the dual dual
sense is actually the speaker, because

592
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.519
that's actually also what drives the haptics, and so those two things working in

593
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:30.920
conjunction actually make the haptics like sound
and feel the way they're supposed to sound.

594
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.440
So yeah, god, I remember. You should know by now why

595
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:36.920
I don't like that. I live
an apartment complex. I have to play

596
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:40.039
with headphones on. Guess what that? Yes, I think could be annoying

597
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:44.559
if you don't want it making sound. Yes, yeah, so terrified The

598
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.199
first time I fired up Death stranding
and that baby started screaming, like,

599
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:51.360
what is happening? Who is the
fucking or? I thought you meant the

600
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:55.239
other baby. Chadley talking at you
out of here? Yeah, pro Chadley

601
00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:04.159
here all right? Sorry, Chadley
is an honorary now, Jeff Grub,

602
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.840
you put on this list here.
Top Racer Collection, yeah. Top Racer

603
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:13.840
Collection is a collection of what was
once called top Gear games, mostly for

604
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:17.599
Super Nintendo. I believe that's where
I played them. They are pretty good

605
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.480
Super Nintendo racing games, and they've
collected all of them in here. It's

606
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:27.440
like top Gear top Gear three thousand, things like that. And I like

607
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.920
these games when I would rent them
for the Super Nintendo and it took me

608
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:36.360
a second. Usually figuremats. They
actually have like energy management. You actually

609
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:38.320
have to manage your gasoline stuff like
that, so when you get in longer

610
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:44.920
races you have to re fuel things
like that. And so I am enjoying

611
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.039
having more time with them, but
it's I'm like, I also now remember

612
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:50.400
why. It's like I would rent
it and then not rent it again anytime

613
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.719
soon or try to buy it because
they you know, they are mostly like

614
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.599
bite size experiences. They have really
good music, But I'm not like,

615
00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.199
oh, I'm not super enamored with
the depth here. I do remember playing

616
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.679
a lot more top Gear Rally on
n sixty four. In sixty four,

617
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:06.480
I had really great racing games and
that was that was definitely one of the

618
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:09.639
top ones for me. But these
are like nice little nostalgia pieces and in

619
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:13.760
a good collection that does a really
good job of presenting them. At the

620
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.599
very least like it. It gives
you all games in a menu, and

621
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:20.280
when you select them, it's not
like it's like it doesn't feel like it's

622
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:22.840
loading up a rom it feels like
you're already in there. It just goes

623
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.280
right into the game and you're off
to the races, literally, I guess.

624
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:28.559
And then when you want to go
try the other one, you just

625
00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:30.920
back out, back out, and
it doesn't feel like you're going back to

626
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.880
a main menu that's going to take
a second to load. It's just really

627
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.400
well put together in that way.
But it's hey, I was like really

628
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:40.639
happy to see them actually bring stuff
like this back. It feels like great

629
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:45.480
a point where most of the games
from that era have been mined for their

630
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.280
content and re released them one way
or the one way or the other,

631
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.840
and now we are getting down to
things like top gear, and I'm like

632
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:54.239
going, yeah, I actually still
care about these as well, and so

633
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:57.559
it's been fun to have these and
play them on the Steam deck or whatever.

634
00:42:57.639 --> 00:42:59.840
But it's not like I'm not gonna
I'm not telling anybody go out there

635
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:01.039
if you haven't played these, if
you don't have a nostalgia for him,

636
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:05.119
you don't feel like you're gonna have
to go track this down. This is

637
00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:09.840
for people who remember these games somewhat
fondly. Dan Record, I think you

638
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:16.039
put this on Outcast New Beginning I
did. It is a B game,

639
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:21.719
I say lovingly as a lover of
B games. It feels like this game

640
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:24.920
was made in two thousand and five. Maybe it was like a late Xbox

641
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:30.159
early three sixty thing. Apparently it's
a sequel to a game I was not

642
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:34.039
familiar with. It's called Outcast from
nineteen ninety nine. It's made by THHQ

643
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.199
Nordick, so it even sounds like, you know, a classic B game

644
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:43.760
publisher. You play as Cutter Slade. Yeah, look up what this dude

645
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.559
looks like. He looks exactly like
you should, look like he's had his

646
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:50.079
memory wiped and he's on the planet
Adelpha, and he has a jet pack.

647
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:54.199
There's like a whole jetpack skill tree. It's all about just gliding around,

648
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:58.840
plying around this alien planet. I'm
not going to sit here and say

649
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:00.719
it's an amazing game, but playing
it, I played like an hour of

650
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.679
it, and every bit of it
was just giving me nostalgia for like a

651
00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:09.760
time period that like I don't think
is really represented with you know, nostalgic

652
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:14.760
titles these days. It just it
felt like an Xbox game early on,

653
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:19.199
and that jet pack stuff is pretty
fun. Oh lordy, I thought like,

654
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:21.960
oh, that's fun. Dan checked
out an older game for some reason,

655
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:24.360
and then I see the release date
March fifteenth. Yes, it just

656
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:29.440
came out right. And you know, the original Outcast is a sort of

657
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:31.679
deep cut game for a lot of
people. It's something that some people remember

658
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:35.920
and almost no one else does.
It was like an early Vauxhall game,

659
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:39.159
right, I think something like that, and I think, so, okay,

660
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:42.119
I might be mixed up with something
else. But it was like,

661
00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:45.199
oh, I had like open world
elements like before a lot of other games

662
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:49.559
had open world stuff going on,
and so a lot of people were very

663
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:52.000
excited about this game coming back.
I've never played the original Outcast, so

664
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.079
I was like, should I try
to play that then this? But hearing

665
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:59.079
you Dan say that this kind of
feels already like an older game, I'm

666
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:01.800
like, they're probably just trying to
recapture that feeling in this game, so

667
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:06.039
I could probably just jump right to
this, I would imagine. I mean,

668
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.280
Cutter Slade has had his memory wipe, so you'd be right there with

669
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:13.519
him. Hell, yes, yes, doesn't look bad this. I just

670
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:15.239
don't want to make people think it's
like, oh, it's just big,

671
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.559
it's just like Horizon Open World,
Super Quady whatever. It's not that it's

672
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:22.519
very like, but I mean the
shooting and everything, like the dodgy round

673
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.800
jetbacks, that feels pretty snappy.
It's uh, it's been fun from when

674
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:32.199
I played. I'm seeing Cutter Slade
zip around and like shield bash dudes in

675
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:37.559
a small jetpack. God, Cutter
Slade, what a top ten name of

676
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:43.239
our pagonist I've ever heard? Yeah, my my favorite developmental talent and NXT

677
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.159
I loved him on the indies.
I'm surprised his name. Yeah yeah,

678
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:52.639
uh, st Pressure should be a
cutter. Oh that's gold. We should

679
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:59.079
we should put all our eggs in
like an indie wrestler, and just collectively

680
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.960
manage them them to the top.
We could somebody with like five managers.

681
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:09.599
Exactly. How has that never happened? Right? We classify as a stable

682
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:13.519
because we got multiple people in there, but only one of them wrestles.

683
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.400
Exactly, yeah, exactly. We
all just constantly slip the weapons and distract

684
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:20.559
the rep Okay, okay, hear
me out here, here me are what

685
00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:24.880
do we gotta do to get Mike
on the circuit. Mike will do,

686
00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:30.679
We'll we'll evaporate. Mike is a
wrestler. As a wrestler, he will

687
00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:37.480
and he's not gonna Bumpf's what I'm
saying. He's not gonna bump, and

688
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.880
he's not gonna bump and take a
power bumb he shoot viewed with Carledo.

689
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:49.880
See there's things here we can do. We're after the races God. And

690
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.920
then he'll he'll react like someone shooting
black mist in his face. Yeah,

691
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:57.079
yeah, corrupt him. The apple
corrupts him. I feel like he would

692
00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:00.119
say he wouldn't take a bump,
But if we started putting him over for

693
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.960
in wrestling, I think he wouldn't
be able to like avoid the adelation.

694
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:07.519
So I think the ego will have
to go over like he would take like

695
00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:10.360
a rock Bottom or something, you
know, just the right circumstance, you

696
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:15.440
know, if he was from the
rock Yes, kno match though, that's

697
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:22.400
what I really want to see.
I would love. I think Mike could

698
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:24.559
have a pretty good choke slam or
like an iron claw. Mike would have

699
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:29.920
a really good iron He should do
the pounce. Yes, oh all right,

700
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:31.880
if we ever find ourselves in like
I don't know, like a bounce

701
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:37.199
house or something or a ring I
putting it here BombCast eight thirty three,

702
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:44.039
I will take a pounce from Mike
Manatti and sell my ass off. God

703
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:47.039
going back to Cutter Slaton forgetting who
you are. I'm gonna just say this

704
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.000
is a game of the week because
this is the last game here in the

705
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:57.840
list. Dragons Dogma too. I
am very bad at character creators too.

706
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:01.519
I hate them. I find them
very overwhelmed. I spent two fucking hours

707
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:06.440
in this character creat but it kind
of does it right, and that like

708
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:10.119
I feel like over time, just
like more sliders equal better character creator for

709
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:13.840
a lot of people. And at
a certain point that got kind of overwhelming,

710
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:16.360
and I do love how like if
you want to do that Dragons Dogman

711
00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:19.800
two, lets you do that.
And you can do sliders on everything.

712
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:22.679
But there's also the basic like,
hey, pick one of these faces.

713
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:24.280
Okay, now pick one of these
variations that face. Now I have about

714
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:28.039
one more. And then it's like
a way of kind of narrowing it down

715
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:30.079
and having a lot of say over
it without having to like go into like

716
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:32.639
jaw height and everything, you know, right, because when I do jaw

717
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:36.480
height, like it affects other things
on the face, and now I'm like,

718
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:37.480
well, now I don't know where
to go back to fix that thing

719
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.079
that doesn't look right anymore, so
I get lost really quickly. So you're

720
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:45.320
right. Having the approximations that's the
best way for me, and the fact

721
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:47.039
that it has both where people who
are good at it can go in there

722
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:50.559
and do whatever they want to the
face, and then for me, I

723
00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:54.320
can just keep hitting the random button
or hitting the variation variation button. That's

724
00:48:54.400 --> 00:49:01.159
really nice. I haven't had too
much time to to uh dive into Dragon's

725
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:05.119
Dogma too, other than Character Creator
maybe like the early couple of missions,

726
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:07.760
but I have have you all Gotte
the chance to play any of this.

727
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.400
Yeah, who's playing this the most? Sean You've played the most of this?

728
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:15.639
I'm assuming I'm like a dozen hours
into it. I'm like six and

729
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:19.679
maybe yeah oh okay, yeah,
I was playing over the weekend while all

730
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:24.480
you chuckle focks are out of packs. Oh god, people are not gonna

731
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:28.719
like me address episode. No.
I feel like I feel like most people

732
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:31.119
are. I feel like the vibe
I get on this game just going into

733
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:36.840
it, just from like having a
surface level extraction of like the sort of

734
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:40.239
taking the temperature overs like a lot
of people who like it, a lot

735
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:45.559
of people who are mad at it, right, and like it's probably in

736
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:50.079
reality sits somewhere in like the above
average category. Where's the madness coming from?

737
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:55.840
H I don't like the micro transactions. I'm sorry that Capcom has had

738
00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:59.199
in all their games for the last
little bit, but where are they talking

739
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:00.599
about them? Six hours? I
haven't even seen them. They're not in

740
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:05.239
the game. You have to go
to like the Steam store to find them,

741
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:09.360
and you have to go out your
way to exist. The status is

742
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:14.400
like, what is the it's fast
travel, it's it's a whole bunch of

743
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:17.360
things that makes if you buy Berry
Stones, can you buy consumables in the

744
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:22.519
game, You can spend like a
buck or two to get the extra right

745
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:24.239
stuff that would get you through the
early game a lot faster. Yeah.

746
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:28.239
It's basically just like, do you
want to pay extra money to have cheat

747
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.000
codes? And people are very upset
with them. Yeah, and it's it's

748
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:34.400
what they've done. And then the
Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Tiger

749
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:37.119
Woods games, you could buy stat
points, you know, yeah, yes,

750
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:40.320
Okay, So I need to preface
this by saying that I'm very much

751
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:45.719
a Capcom guy, like they're my
company in the way that like rub is

752
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.800
with Nintendo. Just if Capcom puts
something out, I know I'm going to

753
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.119
play it, whether it be the
things I'm really into, like their fighting

754
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:57.199
games and their action games like Devil
May Cry and adjacent stuff like Mega Man,

755
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:02.119
or even stuff genres that I'm not
typically into, like horror. I'm

756
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:06.519
not a horror guy, but I
have a deep appreciation for Resident Evil.

757
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:09.440
I love all those games, and
even like multiplayer stuff. I'm not a

758
00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:14.880
loot loop kind of guy, but
Monster Hunter is fantastic. I was really

759
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:21.119
hoping that Dragon's Dogma two would be
that for me with this with like western

760
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:23.960
high fantasy RPG kind of stuff,
you know, like an elder scrosy kind

761
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.920
of thing. That's typically not the
type of thing I'm into. But I'm

762
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:32.840
like, yo, like this dev
team and everyone is ISA. It'suno who's

763
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:37.320
working on it and everything, Like
I really wanted to give a shot.

764
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:40.119
I was hoping that this would be
the one. And every time I play

765
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:45.599
this game, it feels like the
game hates me, and I kind of

766
00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:51.320
hate it as a result, because
anytime I'm playing it, I feel stupid,

767
00:51:51.719 --> 00:51:54.599
like I'm doing something wrong and I
don't know why. I don't know

768
00:51:54.679 --> 00:52:00.559
if I'm encountering a weird amount of
bugs or if this is intentional. Like

769
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:05.840
I will be walking around a city
and a night will attack me and I'm

770
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.880
like, excuse me, I didn't
do anything, and just the night's attacking

771
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:14.159
me. I don't know why.
I was just shopping and now my pawns

772
00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:16.079
are fighting him, and I have
to figure out how to like get away

773
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:21.159
from this situation that I didn't cause
as far as I know, and I'll

774
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:23.199
run around the city to try to
get rid of them. I'll run to

775
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:28.679
like somewhere else in on the world, map and I this night will follow

776
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:35.639
me, and I don't know why. I feel like when yeah, gru

777
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:40.519
when you like soft locked in a
starfield, I feel like that's what's happening

778
00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:44.920
to me, where I did something
wrong at some point and because there's no

779
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:47.840
say files, there's this perpetual saving. I think I may have fucked my

780
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:52.519
game up at some point and I
can't figure out how to unfuck it.

781
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:58.239
But that's kind of beside the point, uh, my my core issue.

782
00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:00.599
Like, like I said, so
I'm not the target, and so you

783
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:02.000
know, take what I'm saying with
a grain of salt here. I'm just

784
00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:07.039
providing my perspective as someone on the
outside a little bit who wouldn't typically be

785
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:10.360
into these games. I kind of
feel about this game the way that I

786
00:53:10.760 --> 00:53:15.960
and as I remember Dan saying he
felt about Spider Man two last year,

787
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:22.679
where I can tell there's something here
and I can tell that there's something everyone

788
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:27.440
seems to love this game. I
get it, but I'm not understanding why

789
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:30.760
to me when I see it,
Like with Spider Man two, if I

790
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:35.199
said this, if you had never
seen INSOMNIAX Spider Man games, and I

791
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:38.880
say the sentence to you, PlayStation
made an open world Spider Man game.

792
00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:45.519
I feel like Spider Man two is
the most literal interpretation of that sentence,

793
00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:47.639
where yeah, you're gonna be swinging
around Spider Man. There's all these little

794
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:51.559
side quests that's gonna be very story
driven. You're gonna have a lot of

795
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:57.280
cimet cut scenes walking and talking.
It feels it felt uninspired to me,

796
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.679
and I get that other people like
it, but I was clicking with me.

797
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:04.159
That's what Dragon's Dogma two feels like
to me. It feels like the

798
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:12.400
most literal interpretation of Capcom made a
Western RPG style of the game where I

799
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:15.119
don't feel the combat isn't quite clicking
with me. I've tried all the different

800
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:20.760
classes. I started with Thief and
that went horribly, Like, for example,

801
00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:22.840
there's a down thrust, so I'm
like, well, clearly I can

802
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.559
like you know, Assassin's Creed some
pools, No, because your character flails

803
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:29.159
out halfway through, and so that
just doesn't work. I love that.

804
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:31.519
I love that, it's funny.
It's funny, but I lost like half

805
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:36.199
an hour progress from dying a bad
place by doing that. It's like cool,

806
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:40.679
I'm trying like to sort and shield
and that's not really working out,

807
00:54:40.840 --> 00:54:45.239
and I'm trying all these different classes
and the combat just isn't clicking with me.

808
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:51.320
I go into the town and it
feels very sparse because of technical issues,

809
00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:54.920
like people pop in like ten feet
in front of you. And that's

810
00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:58.599
the entire thing that we could talk
about, is the technical performance here.

811
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:02.480
Yeah, it which I'm playing on
PC, and that's the thing. I

812
00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:07.239
I have an editor's PC, so
it's a little unbalanced, but unbalanced in

813
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:09.440
the way that should be beneficial for
this game. I'm a really powerful CPU.

814
00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:13.199
I have a fifty eight hundred X
so, you know, like a

815
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:17.960
high end CPU from the last generation
of rizins, and it is struggling to

816
00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:22.760
run this game a decent frame,
right, And even I go into towns

817
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:25.960
and I'm running ten ADP settings turned
down, so my GPU shouldn't be a

818
00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:30.760
thing there, and it's just it's
not because a CPU bound and my CPU

819
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:34.840
is still struggling to render all this
stuff out. And so if you were,

820
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:37.599
if you're running in four K,
still wouldn't be the bottleneck. Yeah,

821
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:39.960
exactly, That's that's what I'm saying
here. That's what I'm saying here.

822
00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:44.320
I turned like all the GPU sattings
down to just just to be sure,

823
00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:46.000
just to be absolutely positive, and
no, CPU is still struggling,

824
00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:50.639
and so these performance issues on top
of everything else. Like I'm a very

825
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:55.360
technically my guy, So it's my
experience with Dragon's Dogma two has not been

826
00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:59.639
good. And it's a bummer because
everyone seems to be enjoying it, and

827
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:04.280
like I said multiple times, there's
something here that clearly people are into.

828
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:08.519
I just can't figure out what it
is personally, so for me, and

829
00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:12.360
I've only played a little bit dan
out though they'll let you talk for me,

830
00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:15.320
Like when you describe Hey starts failing
flailing halfway down to jump, I'm

831
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:22.280
like, Okay, this game is
like gonna have a lot of weird consequences

832
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:25.519
to your actions that feel like like
you can know you can't just jump because

833
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:29.880
the character cannot control themselves in the
air, so deal with that. And

834
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:31.639
then I'm like, okay, that's
actually I like that. And if you

835
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:35.880
pick someone up, you throw them. There's like a real physics system that's

836
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:37.880
accounted for all that stuff, which
is actually what's causing a lot of problem

837
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:42.039
with the CPUs. Everything, like
everything's affected by the physics system. So

838
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.239
it's to count that for every single
NPC. So it's like, okay,

839
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:46.719
that to me, that creates a
huge possibility space. And that's the kind

840
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:51.679
of thing I like in these games. And then I I like the way

841
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:57.119
it feels just like start climbing an
enemy with my thief and just just just

842
00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:00.119
slamming on them the k That's that's
been my favor thing so far. Or

843
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:07.159
when a giant shoot what's the term. But like the bird dragon in Griffin

844
00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:08.559
thank You, where Griffin pops up, I'm like, oh, this is

845
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:13.760
monster hunter now, hell yeah,
that's really fun. But like like Grub,

846
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:15.639
what I'm talking about is like the
thief has like just jump and pressed

847
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:21.000
strong attack and they thrust downward with
their two knives. Clearly I'm supposed to

848
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:23.400
use that from above someone, So
I go to like my my ceiling here,

849
00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:29.960
Yeah that's the height I'm jumping from
out like what I know. I

850
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:31.159
know. But it's like, okay, it's like that's not gonna work.

851
00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:34.960
So I knocked the character down and
when they're down on the ground, then

852
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:37.199
I slammed knives. But that's the
thing. I feel like these things,

853
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:42.800
so many of these things should just
work and it's not. I don't think

854
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:46.760
it's that game. It's it's where
it's like, No, it works in

855
00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:52.159
its very own specific way, and
you need to meet it halfway. And

856
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:54.320
that means there's friction and a lot
of these elements. And to me that

857
00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:58.719
that's exciting. And I think that's
because I'm a weirdo and I like,

858
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:00.880
you know, espresso and black coffee, black liquorice, and there's nothing wrong

859
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:06.880
with my brain. All right,
it's got triggered. The liquoric just fucked

860
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:10.760
up sociopath. Yes, I think
sneak that in with expresso. What are

861
00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:16.239
you doing favors? It's bitter flavors. I love flavor, is what I'm

862
00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:22.880
saying. Yeah, by the way
Chad is asking, yes, I am

863
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:25.159
using a team of ponds that is
spread out. I have. I have

864
00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:30.920
Wooly Versus guiding me around the world
as my warrior, and then uh yeah,

865
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:32.920
I have a mage and everything like
that. I have a diverse team

866
00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:37.199
and so I know you can do
like these team up attacks and everything like

867
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:40.880
that. Just none of it's feeling
sounds like it's just not going to be

868
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:45.719
for you, Sean, that's what's
sounding. But I think it kind of

869
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:49.119
is for me in that, like, I'm typically not drunk. What's that?

870
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:52.079
What? What were you saying?
I said, did anyone ask Austin

871
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.400
if he likes the game? Oh? Yes, yes, he's remap talking

872
00:58:55.400 --> 00:59:02.480
about Austin because that he's a huge
dragon was a dragons Dogma guy. Yeah.

873
00:59:02.519 --> 00:59:06.639
I was wondering because I did know
he talked to Patrick, right,

874
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:10.000
yep. I was curious that I
don't know what the verdict was though it

875
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:14.000
seems like he's super into it.
Yeah, I mean everyone's loving it,

876
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:17.280
like is doing phenomenally well review wise
and or anything like that. So yeah,

877
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:21.440
just to like kick you off,
Dan, I think Sean, you,

878
00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:23.000
me, and Dan, we're all
like Breadth of the Wild people.

879
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:25.679
And this starts to remind me of
how I felt about Breath of the Wild,

880
00:59:25.719 --> 00:59:29.440
where it's like the game pushes back
against you and you have to overcome

881
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:31.239
that stuff. But I think maybe
the ways you can overcome it just aren't

882
00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:34.239
working for you. Dan, how
do you feel about it? It is

883
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:37.000
closer to Breath the Wild than it
is like, you know, an Elder

884
00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:39.079
Scrolls or something like that, and
I feel that, like I'm typically not

885
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:44.039
into like the fantasy RPG type thing
like I don't I've never played the Dragon's

886
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:46.400
Age. I don't really have any
interest I need. I need that dewey

887
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:50.719
factor. And like Skyram and Oblivion
and stuff did it for me because it

888
00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:52.880
felt like you could kind of break
the game in cool ways and you could

889
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:53.519
just like, oh, I can
just kill this character. I can do

890
00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:58.440
things my own way. But that's
still like Elder Scrolls has more kind of

891
00:59:58.559 --> 01:00:01.159
like lower stuff than I don't care
about in more dialogue, and so like

892
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:05.079
I just kind of want to do
stuff in that world. And Dragon's Dogma.

893
01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:07.199
I feel like I didn't play the
first one. This one, I'm

894
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:12.119
just like instantly doing stuff and it's
very it's heavy on the combat. As

895
01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:15.320
soon as I saw there's like oh
I can just pick up living characters that

896
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:16.559
aren't dead yet and just chuck them
off a cliff. Well, that's going

897
01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:21.840
to be my whole thing, throwing
dudes into other dudes. I'm throwing exploding

898
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:23.920
barrels into dudes' faces. I see
picking them up, I'm throwing them.

899
01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:28.039
Yes, that stuff's great. There's
weird physics stuff going on and like some

900
01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:30.639
of that stuff that like Sean,
you've been hitting even bumping into with like

901
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.480
the chaos of like what the fuck's
going on? Why are you guys fighting?

902
01:00:34.519 --> 01:00:37.559
Why are you following me? I
like that kind of emergence stuff where

903
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:39.119
it's like I don't know how the
fuck this happened, but like now I'm

904
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:44.239
dealing with it, Like I find
some unpredictable in a way that like I

905
01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:45.440
liked from like Tears of the Kingdom, Breath the Wild, things like that

906
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:50.079
where just seeing how the AI and
everything plays off each other. I think

907
01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:53.639
I've gotten lucky in that I'm not
having performance issues on PS five I did.

908
01:00:54.119 --> 01:00:58.519
It was definitely like chugging, and
I was like, okay, this

909
01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:00.000
is gonna bug me, so I
switched. Okay, So what you played

910
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:04.920
on PS five then PC? Okay, so you're you're the person asked do

911
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:08.320
you recommend people playing on play console
or PC? PC? Like it's okay,

912
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:12.079
yeah, the frame rate was really
chugging on PS five, and like

913
01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:15.079
I've got a really good PC,
and but I have not had any kind

914
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:17.679
of like I'm playing it pre crazy. It's pretty bad everywhere everybody like danis,

915
01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:22.239
you're playing on the NCXT computer the
forty ninety Yeah, okay, yes,

916
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:25.039
So that's a very good CPU,
but still probably better on most PCs.

917
01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:28.840
And also to be clear, like
I'm struggling to hit what I deem

918
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:32.000
an acceptable frame rate, which is
like sixty ish, and the fact that

919
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:36.320
I'm struggling to hit thirty in the
town is what's follering me. If you

920
01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:38.519
go over at console, that's even
worse. So like if you have the

921
01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:42.960
option, PC is still better on
the two. I would say the thing

922
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.519
that's bugging me the most about it
so far is like I like going off

923
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:50.320
the beaten path and just exploring in
these type of games, and I find

924
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:52.199
that, you know, there are
a lot of treasure chrests and things that

925
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:53.440
are off the beaten path, but
every time I go there, it's just

926
01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:57.239
super underwhelming. It's like, I
don't know, here's another thing that I

927
01:01:57.280 --> 01:01:59.800
can mix with a fruit and turn
into a potion. You know. It's

928
01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:01.639
like it's not like I'm not getting
a lot of like, Wow, check

929
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:05.559
out this cool you know, new
piece of gear or whatever. So uh,

930
01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:07.440
some of that's bugging me a little
bit. I love the real footage

931
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:14.599
of meat. I fantastic, Get
me more. What's that? Explain that

932
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:16.239
for people? That's so when you
go to a camp and you set up

933
01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:19.920
your camp for the night, and
everything you can cook at a campfire,

934
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:22.960
and based on like what you have
from like enemies you've killed and things like

935
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:25.360
that, you can cook it.
And it just cuts to like very nice

936
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.800
be roll of sizzling steaks and things
like that. Yes, super like pornographically

937
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:35.840
close up images of sizzling meat.
It is. It's really really great.

938
01:02:36.679 --> 01:02:40.519
I love that that Sam was eaten
good after shit. Oh yeah, yeah,

939
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:44.760
that would have been a fun shoot. Yeah, I haven't cooked like

940
01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:46.800
have you ever cooked like rotten meat. I haven't done that yet in the

941
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:52.199
game or in the game. Yeah, your meat will age and I usually

942
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:54.280
just discard it. And I realized, oh shit, I've never tried to

943
01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:58.800
like cook the shitty meat. Anyone
else asking that question, Sean, you

944
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:04.199
would have been like, oh,
he's not talking about actual right, it's

945
01:03:04.360 --> 01:03:08.519
entirely possible. He means that,
so fair fair play. In the early

946
01:03:08.599 --> 01:03:12.639
bits of the game, I think
I am really enjoying it because of how

947
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:16.119
dumb it is. It just feels
dumb and it's enabling me to be dumb,

948
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:21.079
which I appreciate. Like, is
that the reason that also doesn't like

949
01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:24.400
it because it's dumb. No,
yes, I think it's the dum dumbness.

950
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:30.039
He likes the dumbness that that happens
in the possibility space goddamn studio.

951
01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:34.320
Yeah, yes, like the stuff
that like anything can happen. Yeah.

952
01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:37.559
Yeah, I guess I don't like
realize I guess I'm not extracting that out

953
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:39.800
of like the reception of this game. But that was the thing that was

954
01:03:39.800 --> 01:03:43.519
the thing that was stringing me along
for at least the first few hours there,

955
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:45.360
because I was like, oh,
this is a Capcom game, because

956
01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:50.159
like it's dumb in like the way
that Resident Evil's dumb. Resident Evil isn't

957
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:54.599
like, uh constant goofy jokes are
firing off at all times. No,

958
01:03:55.119 --> 01:04:00.719
you're gonna have it's a zombie game
where people are spouting off one and stuff

959
01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:04.079
like that. It's that type of
silliness that is sort of still grounded in

960
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:09.840
as close to reality as the situation
can be. Similar to a lot of

961
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:13.639
us, I had not played the
original Dragon's Dogma other than hearing Austin and

962
01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:18.400
Jason A. Striker wax poetically about
playing the game. But I think what

963
01:04:18.719 --> 01:04:25.440
I benetit benefited from was hearing Scott
McCrae on Game Mess a week ago,

964
01:04:25.480 --> 01:04:28.679
a week and a half ago,
at this point, approaching it like a

965
01:04:28.760 --> 01:04:30.119
breath of the wild or tearers of
the Kingdom. So I think I had

966
01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:35.599
that mentality when approaching it. And
this isn't spoilers, but in like a

967
01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:42.119
early flashback in the game, when
you're fighting a giant dragon, I walked

968
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:44.960
up to it and thought, well, they let me climb, like the

969
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:49.119
Medusa thing, well, they let
me climb this one. And instead of

970
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:54.440
like fighting back and like getting hit
by the fire and protecting my ponds,

971
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:57.079
I'm like, fuck, y'all,
this is a flashback. I'll be fine

972
01:04:57.079 --> 01:05:00.239
with whatever I do. And I
just like circle or and climb the tail,

973
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:04.639
and I'm like, this game is
amazing. And I climbed the tail

974
01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:10.800
and I wasn't watching my stamina at
all. So I'm up there on the

975
01:05:10.880 --> 01:05:14.079
dragon. I've climbed its spine and
then my dude, that looks like a

976
01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:17.760
combination of me and if I ate
the guy from the movie The Raid.

977
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:25.480
So it's like the most Filipino Indonesian
dude with the thickest thigh as possible,

978
01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:30.000
just tired and gassed. And then
I get knocked off the dragon. I'm

979
01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:32.400
like, man ten out of ten
here, guys. Yeah, I like

980
01:05:32.480 --> 01:05:35.039
that. Yeah. I just like
getting up on that dragon. And then

981
01:05:35.039 --> 01:05:38.079
I'm like, oh wait, I
can attack, and then he just takes

982
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:41.320
out a sword and she just slams
it in the dragon so hard. It

983
01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:45.360
feels so good. I like the
pond stuff where like they clearly are learning

984
01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:50.079
from you a little bit. I'm
a dark Mitch follow me around and I

985
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:54.880
picked up, immediately picked up a
goblin like the first Enclave of Goblin,

986
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:57.960
and I'm you know, kind of
hitting it with my sword a little bit.

987
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:00.400
But then I do see a cliff
and I throw it off a cliff

988
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:02.639
and Dark Bitch is like, oh
Sea, I've never seen anyone do that

989
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:05.800
before. And I'm like, yeah, pretty sweet, huh. And then

990
01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:10.400
we ran to another set of goblins
and then this listen, that's how he

991
01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:13.400
studs. And then dark Dark Bitch
runs up to some goblins. It's just

992
01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:15.719
like, yay, he picks up
a goblin and just tosses it off.

993
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:18.880
I'm like that rules. He just
said that he learned from you by watching,

994
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:21.519
and now he's doing it. You're
great, Dark Mitch, so I

995
01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:25.800
haven't said dark bitch into the Brian. Yet the paws need to shut the

996
01:06:25.880 --> 01:06:28.840
fuck out. They talk way too
much. They do talk a lot.

997
01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:31.440
I think it's mostly fun silly.
That's like they're like, hey, you

998
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:33.840
got a lot of guys in your
in your thing, Why how about some

999
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:36.199
women. I'm like, Okay,
come on, you don't have to meet

1000
01:06:36.239 --> 01:06:40.000
to me like the five minutes of
the game. All right, I'm sorry.

1001
01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:43.360
On the flip side, if I'm
walking around town and for the fifth

1002
01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:46.719
time that session, I hear,
oh, look a letter. Letters usually

1003
01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:54.920
lead to somewhere climb that take us
to new heights. Yeah, I don't

1004
01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:57.880
know. I think maybe because like
I just enjoyed all the cross talk and

1005
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:01.559
constant yelling and Zeno Blade chronicles three. Sure that like, yeah, tell

1006
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:04.719
me more about ladders, y'all,
y'all won't shut the fuck up? Is

1007
01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:11.320
cool? I my first pawn that
I made. I'm I I wish games

1008
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:15.840
could let you mess around more with
like a pitch slider in terms of like

1009
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:20.960
the voice of Ponds or your own
character, because I painstakingly tried to make

1010
01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:27.960
bone Saw from Spider Man one,
not Man Randy Savage boom shoot. But

1011
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:30.079
I was gonna ask if you were
making Macho Man Randy Savage earlier. It's

1012
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:33.679
wild, it's who, it's who
I aspire to be on a day to

1013
01:07:33.760 --> 01:07:40.159
day basis. I bought a slim
gym yesterday. Actually, I do want

1014
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:43.519
to say before we close out here, look, clearly this was not a

1015
01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:45.480
game for me. I'm I'm still
I'm still playing a little bits again.

1016
01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:49.159
That's certain something. I'm hoping that
it like catches on with me, because

1017
01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:51.800
like last night in my play session
was when like the Griffin came up,

1018
01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:55.639
I'm like, okay, okay,
we're working with something here, something's here.

1019
01:07:56.360 --> 01:08:00.400
I'm just happy this game got made
because of all things, Dragon's Dogma

1020
01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:05.880
two did not need to exist,
but it sooner was like yo, allahmate

1021
01:08:05.920 --> 01:08:09.320
this game. They're like, oh
fucking hell, all right, well you're

1022
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:13.039
on fire, dude, so like, sure have your game. That's just

1023
01:08:13.159 --> 01:08:16.600
really cool to me that this game
will get mail as a fan of Capcom

1024
01:08:16.720 --> 01:08:24.600
series and no one fucking talks about
anymore. Where's Dark Stalker's Capcom Just I

1025
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:27.000
know, I know you're not gonna
give me Legends three, but come on,

1026
01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:30.399
come on. Yeah, I agree, it seems that this game is

1027
01:08:31.560 --> 01:08:34.640
doing the thing that they hoped it
would do, and catching out with a

1028
01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:39.479
whole new audience that never ever ever
would have played Dragon's Dog and one people

1029
01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:42.159
have changed in terms of their taste
and like what they expect from games,

1030
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:44.279
and it seems like it's hitting at
the right time in a way. A

1031
01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:47.920
lot of these games have recently,
And I don't know, maybe I'm I

1032
01:08:48.439 --> 01:08:54.359
give a lot of leeway to some
bad poor performance in games, but I

1033
01:08:54.479 --> 01:09:00.960
just absolutely dug the shit out of
when your prisoner friend gets swallowed by like

1034
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:10.840
the most poorly animated gift of Tentacles
ever. It's like, what an explanation

1035
01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:14.720
for why you can't go in the
water because demon tentacles will take you away?

1036
01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:17.520
Wasn't that like prototype or something like
that prototype at something where like Tentacles

1037
01:09:17.560 --> 01:09:21.159
with Dragander it was like, you're
an electric man, so that makes sense

1038
01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:28.720
and prototypes like Tentacles. But I'm
very excited to play more Dragons Dogma too.

1039
01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:31.159
Perhaps we'll find time to stream it
on this website. How do you

1040
01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:38.600
so can you download more pond like
precreated ponds? Yeah, there's a rock

1041
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:40.760
and you can and you can say, like, oh, I'm looking for

1042
01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:43.399
ones of like you know this type
or whatever, and like you know,

1043
01:09:43.600 --> 01:09:45.319
friends, ponds will pop up and
you can you know, try and it

1044
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:49.239
brings you a binder full of pons
and stuff. Or as I mentioned,

1045
01:09:49.239 --> 01:09:54.279
there are official pawns where his platform
dependence in every pond. Here's everywhere.

1046
01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:58.239
But like like I said, Wooly
as a pawn, Susie has a pawn,

1047
01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:00.840
Maximilian has a pawn. Like they
they've made these characters there official and

1048
01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:04.720
you can summon them and that's really
cool too. How do I summon Susie?

1049
01:10:05.279 --> 01:10:13.840
Uh? PlayStation? Yeah? Well
anyway, that is dragons talk to

1050
01:10:14.319 --> 01:10:16.479
We'll talk, we will talk about
it more more Dragons. I'm gonna play

1051
01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:20.079
a lot. That's when I'm playing
on the webcast. And yeah, any

1052
01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:23.800
anyone have any other games they want
to talk about? Before everybody was right

1053
01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:29.239
about Mario Golf for the Game Boy. Oh yeah, it was on my

1054
01:10:29.319 --> 01:10:32.960
analog. Played it during my travels
last week. It's a great golf game.

1055
01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:36.359
It's a great golf Yes, it
is RG too. Ye also,

1056
01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:40.279
uh, go ahead, go ahead, I was gonna say it just asked

1057
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:43.760
an RPG, it like, is
such an idea RPG for me? Where

1058
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:46.560
it doesn't get in its own way. There's not a million textboxes. It's

1059
01:10:46.760 --> 01:10:49.960
just about going on a golf adventure
and I love it. It's talking to

1060
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:53.920
people at a clubhouse and going to
bet that asshole. And yeah. Yeah,

1061
01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:57.720
those smaller linear RPGs than me and
Jay we're talking about. Mario Golf

1062
01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:00.199
is one of those. Yeah,
okay, maybe I'm gonn do it.

1063
01:11:00.199 --> 01:11:00.960
I'm gonna go on to Game Boy
Advance. I want to play more of

1064
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:05.720
than Yeah, what a huge game
as a as a Mario and Mario's sports

1065
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:09.920
fan that I've never played these games
before. So I'm ma, did you

1066
01:11:09.960 --> 01:11:13.479
play Mario Tennis for Game Boy Color? No? I've just play the Ship

1067
01:11:13.479 --> 01:11:16.520
out of the sixty four gamecub ones. So yeah, I'm in. Yeah,

1068
01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:20.880
I'm in. Right, let's go
shout outs to Grub during the Packs

1069
01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:26.039
East Gift exchange because that no one
else participated in. Yeah dare you guys?

1070
01:11:26.520 --> 01:11:29.279
Yeah, but Grub got me the
what it was, the me you.

1071
01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:31.119
It's a me you mini plus,
I believe is what it is.

1072
01:11:31.239 --> 01:11:36.079
Yes, let me tell you I'm
playing Tony Hawk pro Skater. Yeah,

1073
01:11:36.079 --> 01:11:39.479
that's what I was playing too on
there. Yeah, just a game Boy

1074
01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:44.880
like device like that just blows my
mind and not understanding how technology works.

1075
01:11:45.199 --> 01:11:46.840
But I played that for a bit
on the plane and then I remember that

1076
01:11:46.920 --> 01:11:53.039
it brought my analog pocket, and
Jesus Christ, I thought for the longest

1077
01:11:53.039 --> 01:11:59.399
time it was just nostalgia, thinking
that this is like, uh, one

1078
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:01.800
of the best handheld formats or whatever, like the game Boy style, but

1079
01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:06.399
having the game Boy style handheld with
that grade of a screen and like the

1080
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:12.640
shoulder buttons on it. Yes,
top five piece of tech. Yeah,

1081
01:12:12.760 --> 01:12:16.399
like that screen is so gorgeous.
Yeah, playing any anything on that crap

1082
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:19.600
is like, oh my god.
Like I I spent like a good like

1083
01:12:19.760 --> 01:12:24.119
two hours on my plane ride home, just like firing up different things of

1084
01:12:24.199 --> 01:12:27.319
like, oh man, look at
that snowball fight. The snowball fight looks

1085
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:30.399
great. Oh yeah, And then
I wound up playing Stuntman again. Yeah

1086
01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:38.399
it's it's actually a great game.
It is the one for Game Boy Advance.

1087
01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:42.079
Yeah, weird, and I don't
know, it's just like all right

1088
01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:45.279
cool, like and I was missing
all of the cues because I should have

1089
01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:47.640
headphones on, but I was still
having a good time. Also, the

1090
01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:56.239
Tony Hawk pro Skater games on the
gbay really really good. Don't sleep on

1091
01:12:56.319 --> 01:13:01.880
them. Damn them you Alex Bonelo
for selling me your pocket. I fucking

1092
01:13:01.960 --> 01:13:05.319
hate you. I don't mean that, Alex. Don't cry. Well,

1093
01:13:05.960 --> 01:13:11.600
we'll talk about some news, perhaps
some more games right after this break,

1094
01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:19.720
and we are back to deliver the
news. Jeff Grub the news. Yeah,

1095
01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:30.199
yeah, this is a news with
Jeff Grub BBBBB. Hello, everybody,

1096
01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:32.760
Let's let's do some news. I
am Jeff Grub, and I have

1097
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:38.359
some headlines for you, starting with
Grand Theft Auto six. Production reportedly falling

1098
01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:42.640
behind, Rockstar urges staff to return
to office to avoid delay. Grand Theft

1099
01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:45.479
Auto six, one of the most
anticipated games, is likely to miss its

1100
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:48.359
twenty twenty five ort least window due
to production delays. Originally set to come

1101
01:13:48.399 --> 01:13:53.600
out in early twenty twenty five,
sources indicated to Kataku that a late twenty

1102
01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:57.920
twenty five launch is much more plausible, with the possibility of slipping into twenty

1103
01:13:57.960 --> 01:14:01.840
twenty six as a fallback plan.
Remote workers at Rockstar Games expressed frustration over

1104
01:14:01.880 --> 01:14:06.640
the company's sudden return to office mandate, which is reportedly impacting the games development,

1105
01:14:06.800 --> 01:14:11.720
and that the mandate is impacting development
because a lot of people are like

1106
01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:15.560
I might just quit instead of going
back to the office. Now. Rockstar,

1107
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:18.319
for their part, believes that return
the office is going to help improve

1108
01:14:18.399 --> 01:14:23.000
security and quality concerns, but also
help get the game out more more quickly.

1109
01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:26.239
We'll see, who knows. It's
not like a game hasn't been delayed

1110
01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:29.479
because when everyone was working in the
office. And this is a big game

1111
01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:33.199
that they're going that they're trying to
follow up from a massive success originally with

1112
01:14:33.319 --> 01:14:38.560
g t A GT five and GTA
Online games that they are going to be

1113
01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:42.640
hesitant to replace in the market with
something that isn't as good, So they're

1114
01:14:42.640 --> 01:14:45.199
going to probably take their time on
this, and that seems like perfectly fine

1115
01:14:45.239 --> 01:14:48.560
to me. They probably should take
as much time as they need because there

1116
01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:53.840
is no rush to replace GTA Online. So yeah, late twenty twenty five,

1117
01:14:53.960 --> 01:14:57.159
I bet that seems almost like a
certainty to me, a certainty to

1118
01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:00.880
me at this point, even though
I think internally there's still saying early twenty

1119
01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:03.720
twenty five is like their plan or
like spring twenty twenty five, but I

1120
01:15:03.800 --> 01:15:08.760
can easily see this slip into twenty
twenty six as well. How y'all feel

1121
01:15:08.760 --> 01:15:11.279
about this? Is it like something
where you're like, hey, GTA six,

1122
01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:13.319
I need that now, or take
as much time as you need.

1123
01:15:13.399 --> 01:15:15.960
What do you think hack as much
time as y'all need? Don't want to

1124
01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:21.159
meet the person who's like, no, well the thing those people are out

1125
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:26.960
there, I guess, but like
where do they exist in the space time

1126
01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:31.600
continuum? Twitches? No? I
mean like you're a fundamental understanding of like

1127
01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:35.600
time is linear time? Yeah,
like you, I don't know who the

1128
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:41.079
person is who's like, well,
but it's been what twenty thirteen or whenever

1129
01:15:41.159 --> 01:15:44.880
the fuck that game came out?
Like, I don't understand. Are you

1130
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:47.920
a goldfish? Like? Well,
I think a lot of folks just don't

1131
01:15:47.960 --> 01:15:51.039
have any concept of game development,
right, Like they just assume like they

1132
01:15:51.119 --> 01:15:56.359
just flip slider that press a couple
buttons and switches and then like boom,

1133
01:15:56.399 --> 01:15:59.159
you got a game. You just
need more money, which you know,

1134
01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:04.199
are people like I saw the trailer
late last year and that cemented something in

1135
01:16:04.319 --> 01:16:08.680
place for me, and people just
get excited and then they want what they

1136
01:16:08.720 --> 01:16:11.039
want right now. You know,
that's that test where life. They put

1137
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:14.399
like a Snicker's bar in front of
kids and like if you don't eat this,

1138
01:16:14.479 --> 01:16:16.680
you get another one later and like
some kids just couldn't help themselves.

1139
01:16:16.720 --> 01:16:19.279
They had to eat the one right
in front of them, and that that's

1140
01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:24.319
who you're dealing with. Whoa,
whoa. And then they let those people

1141
01:16:24.399 --> 01:16:28.199
be politicians. Yes, basically yeah, like apparently this was like some great

1142
01:16:28.640 --> 01:16:30.119
marker for how people would do later
in life or something like that. But

1143
01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:33.359
whatever, they are now trying to
wait for the new Grand Theft Auto six

1144
01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:38.399
game and getting very impatient. I
think that, you know, that's such

1145
01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:42.279
a huge audience. You're gonna get
all kinds people that completely understand that they

1146
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:44.800
want to take as much time as
possible to make as good of a game

1147
01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:46.800
as possible, and people who have
no idea and just want what they want

1148
01:16:46.920 --> 01:16:50.520
right now. As far as like
how things go and turn with a rock

1149
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:55.079
Star. This is the studios known
for crunch and known for working their employees

1150
01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:59.800
to the bone. They are they're
probably struggling with that here where they're like

1151
01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:03.520
do we go back to the old
me or not. We'll see this.

1152
01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:06.560
This is a game that is going
to require a lot more effort before it

1153
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:11.159
gets goes from where it's at now
to actually launching. So we'll see how

1154
01:17:11.479 --> 01:17:14.960
much time that's actually going to take
Do you think the security thing is actually

1155
01:17:15.079 --> 01:17:18.079
like one of the bigger factors grub
because like after that leak and then like

1156
01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:25.399
that kid kept trying to hack into
Rockstar with like a fire stick. I

1157
01:17:25.439 --> 01:17:28.920
don't think that they can do much
about like putting that toothpaste back in the

1158
01:17:28.960 --> 01:17:32.680
tube at this point, right because
that like all of those processes are now

1159
01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:34.960
there. So when someone's like,
well, okay, yeah, we go

1160
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:38.760
in the office, but I actually
am going to be traveling and I was

1161
01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:42.439
going to go to visit one of
our other studios and I need to be

1162
01:17:42.479 --> 01:17:45.000
able to get into this stuff when
I'm there, And so all of those

1163
01:17:45.079 --> 01:17:48.880
things that enable someone to hack externally
are still going to be there. They're

1164
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:53.520
still going to be available. So
I mean, maybe limit the points of

1165
01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:57.399
weaknesses a little bit, I suppose, but I know not really, I

1166
01:17:57.399 --> 01:17:59.520
don't think that makes much of a
difference to it at all. At the

1167
01:17:59.560 --> 01:18:05.079
end of the day, some publishers
reportedly questioning support for Xbox amid flatlining sales,

1168
01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:10.439
especially in Europe. Xboxes reportably facing
challenges in Europe, with third party

1169
01:18:10.479 --> 01:18:15.600
publishers expressing doubts about continuing support due
to declining sales. According to Chris Dring,

1170
01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:18.560
the head of Games and Industry dop
is, Xbox's performance in Europe is

1171
01:18:18.680 --> 01:18:24.439
flatlining. Retailers in Europe are considering
or have already cut back on Xbox stock,

1172
01:18:24.720 --> 01:18:29.119
and third party publishers are questioning the
effort required to create versions for both

1173
01:18:29.159 --> 01:18:32.720
the series S and X when the
PC MPs five markets are more lucrative.

1174
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:36.720
Microsoft has acknowledged that it has lost
the console wars and is planning to bring

1175
01:18:36.840 --> 01:18:42.560
first party games to rival platforms,
including PlayStation and or Switch. This shift

1176
01:18:42.600 --> 01:18:46.920
and strategy suggest that Xbox may be
facing difficulties as a hardware manufacturer. Now.

1177
01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:49.800
Of course, we know that they've
said publicly that they are going to

1178
01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:53.880
keep making hardware. They promised that
the next gen is going to be their

1179
01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:57.560
biggest leap technically ever, whatever that's
going to mean, so they're not like

1180
01:18:57.600 --> 01:19:01.119
abandoning making Consoles. Are definitely at
a low point in terms of where this

1181
01:19:01.199 --> 01:19:04.319
system is at worldwide. I think
it's probably doing all right in the United

1182
01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:06.520
States, but there was a time
when it did all right in the United

1183
01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:09.960
States, and it did all right
in Europe, and now it's not even

1184
01:19:10.079 --> 01:19:13.720
really it doesn't really have that.
Yeah, I wonder if dev's might be

1185
01:19:13.840 --> 01:19:17.840
having the same issue that we see
the general gaming audience does, where they

1186
01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:24.479
don't quite see Xbox's vision for the
future or they don't buy into it.

1187
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:28.000
Maybe so speak where this is a
symptom of that for sure. Yeah,

1188
01:19:28.119 --> 01:19:31.600
clearly Xbox and See or Microsoft whatever
you want to say, they can see

1189
01:19:31.640 --> 01:19:35.680
that well, the future will be
in games being everywhere, gains beyond whatever

1190
01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:40.560
piece of hardware you already own.
That is the most straightforward way into the

1191
01:19:40.640 --> 01:19:45.119
home. And people haven't taken too
kindly to that because people want their box,

1192
01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:48.199
and you know, it's solwly fair
if you're a console only gamer and

1193
01:19:48.319 --> 01:19:51.560
you want something that is just straightforward. But at the same time, some

1194
01:19:51.720 --> 01:19:57.319
people are downplaying the fact that games
could be everywhere eventually once streaming gets better,

1195
01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:00.720
you know, PC gets more and
more popular, have more and more

1196
01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:03.840
types of hardware like the Steam Deck
and similar handhelds. I'm wondering if maybe

1197
01:20:04.239 --> 01:20:09.520
some developers are they don't quite think
that things will hand that way either,

1198
01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:13.800
and so they're a little hesitant about
making stuff for the Xbox ecosystem on the

1199
01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:15.560
whole. I think they. I
think it's that and I think so.

1200
01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:18.520
I think they see the numbers of
how things do now, and then they

1201
01:20:18.600 --> 01:20:24.880
look at that vision and they're like, we know that you need bigger games

1202
01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:28.279
coming out of Microsoft to sell these
consoles and get people excited, and they

1203
01:20:28.399 --> 01:20:30.319
just haven't done that. They have
not done that for years now. The

1204
01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:35.039
game the big games that have come
out have been mostly misses when it comes

1205
01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:41.119
to accomplishing the goal of being something
that people cannot ignore. Halo Infinite had

1206
01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:44.399
its issues that people were like,
uh, you know, we're actually just

1207
01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:46.479
going to ignore this because there's enough
here to make it feel like, oh,

1208
01:20:46.560 --> 01:20:50.319
this isn't worth my time because of
whatever's happening with the ongoing content or

1209
01:20:50.359 --> 01:20:54.039
whatever. Even though it's a good
game, Starfield. A lot of people

1210
01:20:54.079 --> 01:20:58.000
do like that game, but it's
it's one that has had a mixed reaction,

1211
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:00.199
so it's very easy for people to
be like, well, I don't

1212
01:21:00.199 --> 01:21:01.920
need that. There's a million other
great games I can play. And so

1213
01:21:02.119 --> 01:21:05.399
these big games that we're meant to
sell xboxes just did not do that thing.

1214
01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:10.399
And now you have several games coming
up that feel like they aren't gonna

1215
01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:14.399
be gonna be as big as Halo
Infinite or Starfield or now it's all those

1216
01:21:14.439 --> 01:21:18.199
games, or Red Fall. So
I think that microsofts of the situation where

1217
01:21:18.439 --> 01:21:20.560
they they're going to have to do
with where they're going to need to do

1218
01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:26.800
to survive now while they slowly transition
into whatever the next thing looks like,

1219
01:21:26.880 --> 01:21:30.600
which is going to be probably games
in a lot more places, the box

1220
01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:34.640
being deprecated in terms of its important
importance, and that transition is just going

1221
01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:38.000
to be difficult and look weird,
and it's going to cause a lot of

1222
01:21:38.039 --> 01:21:41.359
situations like this where developers are like, why do we even make things for

1223
01:21:41.560 --> 01:21:44.479
Xbox? So, yes, it's
gonna be rough for them for a few

1224
01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:48.640
years. I think Mass Effect Vives
development team is made up of veterans by

1225
01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:53.239
Where reminds fans. By Where has
confirmed that the team working on the next

1226
01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:57.920
mass Efect game consists of veterans from
the original Mass EVECT trilogy. Executive producer

1227
01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:01.000
Michael Gamble, art director Derek Watts, creative director Parish Levy, and game

1228
01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:06.560
director Brennan Holmes all have extensive experience
with the series. This information was previously

1229
01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:12.359
known. Just like this is a
reiteration, this was known basically when the

1230
01:22:12.399 --> 01:22:16.199
game was announced in like twenty twenty, but people have since then got in

1231
01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:19.239
their head like this is not the
same BioWare, so should I be excited

1232
01:22:19.279 --> 01:22:23.560
about this? And the reality is
yeah, a lot of key people did

1233
01:22:23.680 --> 01:22:26.600
leave BioWare, and yet at the
same time, a lot of people who

1234
01:22:26.680 --> 01:22:30.359
worked on those games are still working
on Mass Effect five, and this was

1235
01:22:30.399 --> 01:22:32.960
them coming out publicly. I think
the executive producer himself, Michael Gamble went

1236
01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:36.000
on Twitter to remind people, no, this is a team of people who

1237
01:22:36.079 --> 01:22:42.920
made Mass Effect that said, are
you guys hoping Mass Effect five can or

1238
01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:45.239
do you believe it can recapture the
magic of their original trilogy. I think

1239
01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:48.359
it's going to be challenging, but
I think the biggest challenge was me putting

1240
01:22:48.760 --> 01:22:53.000
or trying to piece it together in
my head, like what's Mass Effect for?

1241
01:22:53.199 --> 01:23:00.039
I don't remembers effect. It's like, oh and drama. And yes,

1242
01:23:00.560 --> 01:23:03.119
I suppose this is actually like Mass
Effect seven if you count some of

1243
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:09.680
those mobile games. So yeah,
that's even grosser. Let's just move on

1244
01:23:09.840 --> 01:23:14.439
here to Larry and says it's moving
on from Baldersgate to quote make a new

1245
01:23:14.560 --> 01:23:18.680
thing. Larryon Studio CEO s Fenn
Vinke stated that the company is moving on

1246
01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:24.800
from Baldersgate and the Dungeons in Dragons
Universe and has no plans for DLC expansions

1247
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:28.399
or a sequel to the successful game. Instead, the studio wants to pursue

1248
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:32.279
new creative endeavors. VNK emphasized that
the decision has nothing to do with Wizards

1249
01:23:32.319 --> 01:23:35.319
of the Coast, the owner of
the d and d IP, and that

1250
01:23:35.399 --> 01:23:40.840
the two entities have had a positive
relationship. Larryon Studios is known for its

1251
01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:45.680
Divinity RPG series and aims to embark
on something fresh while leaving Baldersgate with a

1252
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:49.920
warm spot in it's heart. So, yeah, this is a team that

1253
01:23:50.119 --> 01:23:53.319
can kind of do whatever they want
right now. I think this is what

1254
01:23:53.399 --> 01:23:56.079
they're doing. They could do whatever
they want. They're going to go make

1255
01:23:56.119 --> 01:23:59.000
something new. Doesn't sound like they're
going to make a sequel to Divinity either,

1256
01:23:59.520 --> 01:24:01.520
which I think is a good idea. It makes something fresh that people

1257
01:24:01.560 --> 01:24:08.000
can enter from like the ground level
based on larry and being the star attraction

1258
01:24:08.479 --> 01:24:11.239
as opposed to the IP. And
at the same time, when they say

1259
01:24:11.279 --> 01:24:13.600
it's like, hey, Wizards of
the Coast is not the reason we're moving

1260
01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:16.600
on it didn't help. Wizards of
the Coast is a pretty rough company to

1261
01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:20.720
work with. They did lay off
a lot of people that I assume Larryan

1262
01:24:20.880 --> 01:24:25.880
likely worked with on making its game, And though those people being gone and

1263
01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:28.840
now you got to work with someone
else that like probably laid a bunch of

1264
01:24:28.880 --> 01:24:31.000
people off that's not going to be
enticing and make you want to work with

1265
01:24:31.079 --> 01:24:34.880
them. So yeah, maybe Wizard
the Wizards of the Coast isn't like something

1266
01:24:34.920 --> 01:24:38.199
where it's like, oh, that's
definitely the reason we're moving on. It's

1267
01:24:38.239 --> 01:24:41.079
probably because they can work on anything, but Wizards of the Wizards of the

1268
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:43.800
Coast is probably something that they're happy
to leave in the past. I would

1269
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:45.880
assume. Yeah, Thizards has been
having a lot of issues lately, a

1270
01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:48.439
ton. Yeah, so I wouldn't
be surprised if they just want to get

1271
01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:51.479
away from all of that. Yes, I'm interested to see what they are

1272
01:24:51.680 --> 01:24:57.439
trying to cook up based off of
hearing interviews with uh that dude, like,

1273
01:24:57.600 --> 01:25:00.279
oh man, you got ideas?
Huh you've got idea? Is that

1274
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:03.079
stuff we're not capable of doing yet? What are you thinking of? Can

1275
01:25:03.119 --> 01:25:09.079
you make a strand game? Finally, someone's gonna make the real Strand game

1276
01:25:09.119 --> 01:25:14.000
and it's finnvan k Yeah. I
expect them to do something completely new and

1277
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:17.680
I'm looking forward to that. I
think that would be ideal for them to

1278
01:25:17.800 --> 01:25:20.800
kind of get away from dungeons and
dragons for people who are like this system

1279
01:25:21.079 --> 01:25:25.600
is interesting. I've heard about it, but it's a bit convoluted for me.

1280
01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:29.880
I bet they could simplify some of
those things and then expand all of

1281
01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:34.680
the possibilities possibilities that they created in
Divinity and in balder Skate and make that

1282
01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:40.880
the emphasis instead. What if they
make Mass Effect for yes, okay,

1283
01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:45.880
you Larry and Studios is remaking Mass
Effect and Dromeda that's the headline I want

1284
01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:51.199
to see, yo, please uh. Capcom has responded to criticism of Dragon's

1285
01:25:51.279 --> 01:25:56.840
Dogma two paid DLC and performance issues. Capcom has responded to the criticism of

1286
01:25:56.880 --> 01:26:01.279
Dragon's Dogma twos from Dragon's Dogma two
players regarding microtransactions, as well as performance

1287
01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:05.600
issues on PC and console. The
game received mixed reviews after launch, with

1288
01:26:05.720 --> 01:26:11.760
only forty percent positive user reviews on
Steam. Players expressed the disappointment that some

1289
01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:15.640
items were available as paid DLC when
they should be attainable in the game for

1290
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:18.800
free. Performance issues and the inability
to start a new game were also reported

1291
01:26:18.880 --> 01:26:23.119
as a problem. When it comes
to micro transactions, we talked about it

1292
01:26:23.119 --> 01:26:26.479
a little bit. These were things
like cheats that have been available in other

1293
01:26:26.560 --> 01:26:28.880
Capcom games, and if people want
to complain about it, of course they

1294
01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:31.680
should, but they are all available
to like when you're playing the game.

1295
01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:34.640
Although I don't blame people for me
still being annoyed that these things that were

1296
01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:38.800
once you know, cheat codes you
would just put in the game, are

1297
01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:43.680
now things you can buy. It's
not even necessarily by that codes per se.

1298
01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:46.359
It's like no an item I can
buy at the shop in game I

1299
01:26:46.439 --> 01:26:50.119
can spend a dollar on in real
life to just expedite that process. It's

1300
01:26:50.199 --> 01:26:54.520
that type of cheating. I we
talked about this a little bit. I

1301
01:26:54.600 --> 01:26:58.840
think it's I think this reaction is
naturally overblown, as all of these reactions

1302
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:02.800
on the internet are now, but
it's like the sore of discussion that people

1303
01:27:02.920 --> 01:27:06.680
are actually trying to have about this. I thought was kind of interesting where

1304
01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:11.239
there was the people who were saying, well, if you don't like it,

1305
01:27:11.319 --> 01:27:14.199
just ignore it. It's not a
multiplayer game. You know, people

1306
01:27:14.199 --> 01:27:16.800
aren't paying to win. It's just
you know, people are spending a few

1307
01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:21.039
bucks here or there to speed up
something in a game, and you know

1308
01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:25.520
they have If you have more money
than time whatever, the company gets more

1309
01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:28.840
money. So just ignore it.
And then people were saying, I can't

1310
01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:32.079
ignore it. I don't I want
to call out these bad business practices,

1311
01:27:32.520 --> 01:27:36.720
and I just kind of couldn't see
that side of the argument because it's so

1312
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:41.800
again, it's not even in the
game. You need to like go to

1313
01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:45.000
the Steam page and go out your
way to buy it or something. I

1314
01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:49.039
don't know. It's this type of
thing has happened with I remember DMC five

1315
01:27:49.239 --> 01:27:54.199
was the big one where you could
you could buy red orbs and people were

1316
01:27:54.279 --> 01:27:56.279
losing their minds. I'm like,
oh, that's right. They did get

1317
01:27:56.319 --> 01:27:59.159
mad about that. Yeah, yeah, bro, if someone wants to spend

1318
01:27:59.239 --> 01:28:01.880
five bucks to void grindings, yeah, still on the five bucks. I

1319
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.960
don't I don't care. Yeah.
A lot of the outrage I've seen are

1320
01:28:05.119 --> 01:28:12.520
people like complaining about it but not
actually coming across it of like oh and

1321
01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:15.720
someone will will tweet about it or
something like a tweetle get shared of like

1322
01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:18.119
I can't believe capcom is doing this
well, someone will ask them where is

1323
01:28:18.159 --> 01:28:21.960
it, and they'll respond, I
don't actually know, Yeah, I can't

1324
01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:26.279
find it in the game. Is
the worry that, like it's a slippery

1325
01:28:26.399 --> 01:28:28.800
slope kind of thing, Yeah,
And it's just like, hey, these

1326
01:28:28.840 --> 01:28:32.800
are dark patterns and you gotta like
keep your eye on you know, they're

1327
01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:35.520
soon you're going to be charged for
more save slots or something like that.

1328
01:28:35.600 --> 01:28:39.439
But I think I think the worry
is that it does the game. Is

1329
01:28:39.479 --> 01:28:42.840
the game made worse so that you're
more likely to spend money on that?

1330
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:47.239
I think people playing this game,
the evidence suggests likely. No, but

1331
01:28:47.399 --> 01:28:51.039
it's it's definitely something that could happen. It's definitely something that if you start

1332
01:28:51.079 --> 01:28:55.439
thinking that way, you're like,
maybe you see that pattern, even if

1333
01:28:55.479 --> 01:28:59.159
it doesn't necessarily exist. You're like, are they giving me a hard time

1334
01:28:59.199 --> 01:29:01.640
in this one part so that I
and especially when I'm one item short and

1335
01:29:01.680 --> 01:29:04.159
if I just go spend a dollar, well, no, I got that

1336
01:29:04.239 --> 01:29:06.800
one other thing, And then they
know that someone who spends a dollar is

1337
01:29:06.840 --> 01:29:11.079
more likely to spend ten dollars and
they're just trying to get that ball rolling.

1338
01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:14.079
Yeah, Like it's it's definitely possible, right, like you, that's

1339
01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:16.159
a good point. I think there's
obviously a much smarter way to have this

1340
01:29:16.239 --> 01:29:19.920
conversation, and it is the fact
that like all this stuff is basically like

1341
01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:25.640
barometer gauging, right, and it's
sort of like data collecting, and it's

1342
01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:29.000
like, fuck, this is here
to see how it does, right,

1343
01:29:29.159 --> 01:29:33.199
and then you sort of like act
on the report you get back from the

1344
01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:38.159
engagement on this kind of like shit, I think it's important to I think

1345
01:29:38.199 --> 01:29:42.920
it's important to like not glorify it, right, Like, yeah, it's

1346
01:29:42.920 --> 01:29:45.399
important to like do that the rug, right, Yeah, not ignore it

1347
01:29:45.479 --> 01:29:48.800
either. Yeah, I'm up two
minds. I think that the reaction to

1348
01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:54.920
it online and the review bombing was
an overreaction, and at the same time,

1349
01:29:55.359 --> 01:29:59.680
these overreactions are the kinds of things
that keep publishers in check and from

1350
01:29:59.760 --> 01:30:02.600
doing the things that are the most
extreme versions of these kinds of micro transactions,

1351
01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:06.640
and so in a way they are
still useful and they accomplish the thing

1352
01:30:08.039 --> 01:30:12.199
that they need to accomplish, even
though it's very Again, I look at

1353
01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:15.199
the reaction, I'm like, this
is kind of embarrassing. People should kind

1354
01:30:15.199 --> 01:30:17.119
of know a little bit better about
what this game actually is. Before they're

1355
01:30:17.119 --> 01:30:21.079
freaking out. Is there as much
outrage with some MMOs where you can like

1356
01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:27.119
buy level skips, Like does that
same like fury apply there of like,

1357
01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:30.159
oh well, this person's paying.
People got mad about like the New Game

1358
01:30:30.239 --> 01:30:34.039
Plus for like a dragon infinite Wealth
being in the DLC, but they weren't

1359
01:30:34.520 --> 01:30:38.520
as far as I could tell,
not very many people were mad that you

1360
01:30:38.600 --> 01:30:42.680
could just buy levels for your character
in that single player game. Well,

1361
01:30:43.000 --> 01:30:45.760
I think I think the New Game
Plus thing that was egregious because that's an

1362
01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:48.520
actual function that was like behind DLC. No, it's bad. All this

1363
01:30:48.560 --> 01:30:50.960
stuff is kind of, in my
opinion, kind of bad. Yeah,

1364
01:30:51.039 --> 01:30:55.159
to my knowledge, And I could
be completely wrong about this, but from

1365
01:30:55.199 --> 01:30:58.239
what I've seen, at least as
far as I can tell, is just

1366
01:30:58.880 --> 01:31:02.279
in normal game items that you can
just buy an extra with real mindy is

1367
01:31:02.319 --> 01:31:06.000
that weird? Does it feel kind
of gross? Yeah? But I don't

1368
01:31:06.000 --> 01:31:09.479
think it's the end of the world. I mean, I think just people

1369
01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:12.199
need to approach it on a case
by case basis. Sorry is the term,

1370
01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:14.760
but just you need to look at
a game for what it is.

1371
01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:18.840
And I just don't think what people
want to see. How these micro transactions

1372
01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:25.760
is actually happening here. Yep.
Absolutely. I think there's room for a

1373
01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:29.760
nuanced take on all this, and
maybe that does create a little space for

1374
01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:31.880
these companies to take some advantage of
things. But for the most part,

1375
01:31:32.279 --> 01:31:35.960
like, I don't think these things
are hurting anybody, and there are people

1376
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:39.399
out there that, like I would
spend five extra dollars to get through this

1377
01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:43.039
EARLYI apart earlier, more quickly,
so I can get to the fun stuff

1378
01:31:43.079 --> 01:31:45.079
later. And if they want to
do that, I kind of don't want

1379
01:31:45.119 --> 01:31:49.239
to be in the way to stop
them. Sonic Toys Party leaked basically Sonic

1380
01:31:49.399 --> 01:31:54.479
Fall Guys, a lait gameplay trailer
from an upcoming Sonic game. Sonic Toys

1381
01:31:54.520 --> 01:31:58.720
Party presents a new direction for the
series, resembling Fall Guys in its mobile

1382
01:31:58.760 --> 01:32:01.880
based gameplay. This just looks straight
up like Fall Guys, but with Sonic

1383
01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:05.760
levels, and I think that's a
pretty decent idea. Yeah, I'm surprised

1384
01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:11.079
other studios haven't tried to ape this
idea sooner. Same, I think it's

1385
01:32:11.239 --> 01:32:13.079
the kind of thing we might see
more of. I think it's a good

1386
01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:15.520
fit for Sonic too. The way. If folks peep the trailer The way

1387
01:32:15.560 --> 01:32:19.920
that the characters line up and pop
in before a level starts is exactly like

1388
01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:25.000
how Fall Guys is. It's yes, wildly oneful, it's one to one.

1389
01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:29.840
Yes, it really is. And
again whatever, it's Sonic, it's

1390
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:32.640
not some this is not high art. The fact that they are just ripping

1391
01:32:32.720 --> 01:32:35.399
off something else to make oh yeah, I'm sorry to say it. The

1392
01:32:35.439 --> 01:32:39.119
fact that they're just ripping off something
else to make something that feels like that,

1393
01:32:39.279 --> 01:32:42.760
but with Sonic stuff, sure do
more of that. I'm fine with

1394
01:32:42.800 --> 01:32:45.640
it. Blue Fantasy versus A first, who cares? We just have Fall

1395
01:32:45.720 --> 01:32:50.439
Guys likes at this point, exactly
a million Fall Guy likes. This is

1396
01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:54.399
mobile only, as we know,
and Sean you pointed this out, this

1397
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:57.760
is probably true. It's likely going
to be Apple Arcade when it actually ends

1398
01:32:57.800 --> 01:33:00.920
up launching, because this is leaked. We did not get A or platforms

1399
01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:04.640
or anything like that. And that
last Sonic three D game was Apple Arcade

1400
01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:08.279
on mobiles, so yeah, that's
probably happening here. They probably had a

1401
01:33:08.319 --> 01:33:12.920
multi game deal. Uh, Day's
Gone Studio IP is a new IP.

1402
01:33:13.039 --> 01:33:15.520
Excuse me? Is a is a
live service game? This is yes,

1403
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:19.439
Day's Gone Studio had had tried to
make two other games before this. They

1404
01:33:19.560 --> 01:33:26.079
ended up getting the live service Triple
A game green lighted by Sony. That's

1405
01:33:26.119 --> 01:33:29.680
what they're working on now, according
to job listings things like that. In

1406
01:33:29.800 --> 01:33:32.640
between, as you're saying, after
Days Gone, they tried to make two

1407
01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:36.359
other games. Yeah, they pitched
a couple other things, and they both

1408
01:33:36.359 --> 01:33:40.239
were like they fizzled it. I
think one of those was likely Days Gone

1409
01:33:40.279 --> 01:33:43.039
two. They definitely pitched that,
and that was that was turned down.

1410
01:33:43.199 --> 01:33:46.840
Yeah, and I'm sorry to laugh. What and then, Yeah, that's

1411
01:33:46.920 --> 01:33:51.000
the story I wanted. Then,
No one knows what else. It's probably

1412
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:55.640
another you know, triple A sort
of open shoulder sad dad game, right,

1413
01:33:56.279 --> 01:34:00.319
Yeah, just like Sun's Anarchy,
dumbie. What about that? I

1414
01:34:00.399 --> 01:34:04.239
mean you can see how like that
gets like approved, right, you could

1415
01:34:04.239 --> 01:34:08.359
see how like that that should work. I don't know. I remember seeing

1416
01:34:08.439 --> 01:34:12.399
Days Gone at e three, like
seventeen or eighteen, Remember the fuck it

1417
01:34:12.560 --> 01:34:15.279
was in just being like, oh
this the timing of this thematically is just

1418
01:34:15.600 --> 01:34:18.880
seemed seems redundant at that time,
and the game is still a year and

1419
01:34:18.920 --> 01:34:23.760
a half away. Yeah, it
definitely was like, oh, another zombie

1420
01:34:23.840 --> 01:34:27.319
game. Sure, another game where
you're playing this this rough and tumble guy.

1421
01:34:28.960 --> 01:34:30.960
Yeah, listen Ben's studio. Of
course, I have a funness for

1422
01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:35.439
them. They made Bubbsy three D, so I appreciate what they've done for

1423
01:34:35.560 --> 01:34:41.439
me. But I really kind of
have no idea what I would want the

1424
01:34:41.479 --> 01:34:45.000
studio to be working on. I
guess it's probably not a triple A live

1425
01:34:45.079 --> 01:34:48.119
service game, though I don't even
know what that looks like. Bubbsy is

1426
01:34:48.119 --> 01:34:50.960
what I want? Okay, right, Grubb What if you're right Bubbsy.

1427
01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:56.920
What if Bubsy was riding a motorcycle, had like a beanie or a bandana,

1428
01:34:57.560 --> 01:35:00.800
and then just like there was a
very oddly placed sex scene. Yeah,

1429
01:35:00.840 --> 01:35:04.880
okay, I'll say I need the
way too many odd fully closed sex

1430
01:35:04.920 --> 01:35:12.840
scenes with Bubbzy and then I'm there, finally hands on for these conquers bad

1431
01:35:12.920 --> 01:35:16.880
ferd. Okay, Oh no,
we need to stop talking about conquer because

1432
01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:21.800
I feel like we're gonna get roped
into something. Yes, the first canceled

1433
01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:29.960
video game character, it was it
Custer. Oh yeah, yes, yeah,

1434
01:35:30.800 --> 01:35:34.319
a little bit. Oh my god, that game director says Final Fantasy

1435
01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:40.079
nine references in Final Fantasy fourteen down
trail are there for a secret reason a

1436
01:35:40.239 --> 01:35:45.119
mid remake. Reports. Final Fantasy
fourteen director Nioki Yoshida has hinted at a

1437
01:35:45.359 --> 01:35:49.880
secret reason behind the many Final Fantasy
nine references in the upcoming expansion Down Trail.

1438
01:35:50.319 --> 01:35:55.479
Rumors of a Final Fantasy nine remake
have circulated for some time, with

1439
01:35:55.640 --> 01:36:00.520
various sources claiming its existence. Uh
one of those, but the origin source

1440
01:36:00.640 --> 01:36:03.159
is the Nvidia week, which is
really where all that started. And it's

1441
01:36:03.319 --> 01:36:10.720
like every prophecy. Yes again,
almost everything else in that has been confirmed,

1442
01:36:11.119 --> 01:36:15.720
including Titanfall three, which people should
know is actually Apex Legends. Yeah,

1443
01:36:15.800 --> 01:36:18.479
that's that's in. There's Titan Fall
three. But so everything pretty much

1444
01:36:18.520 --> 01:36:23.399
has come to fruition except for final
Final Fantasy nine remake, and I think

1445
01:36:23.439 --> 01:36:28.119
Final Fantasy Tactics remake something like that. Yeah. Uh, this is likely

1446
01:36:28.199 --> 01:36:32.039
happening very soon. Uh so,
Yeah, I know there's some Final Fantasy

1447
01:36:32.119 --> 01:36:35.359
nine freaks out there that are going
to be very happy. Uh. I

1448
01:36:35.399 --> 01:36:38.680
don't know what do you guys expected
terms of the scope of a remake.

1449
01:36:38.680 --> 01:36:41.439
It's probably not gonna be like Final
Fantasy seven remake and rebirth, right.

1450
01:36:42.359 --> 01:36:44.960
I want to see, well,
I was talking about this earlier. I

1451
01:36:45.079 --> 01:36:49.439
want to see a Persona three reload
style remake where it is extremely faithful instruction.

1452
01:36:49.600 --> 01:36:53.880
Yeah, it just you know,
like scale it up a little bit,

1453
01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:58.720
just a little bit, because Yeah, the only reason seven is as

1454
01:36:58.800 --> 01:37:03.119
bay is because one of the big
as freakin' media things ever, like Final

1455
01:37:03.159 --> 01:37:10.000
Fantasy seven, blew up in the
nineties, like Pizza Hut commercials and stuff

1456
01:37:10.039 --> 01:37:12.840
like that. It was so big
and it reached so po. That's why

1457
01:37:12.920 --> 01:37:16.079
they needed to do the full on
remaking the style that they did for remake

1458
01:37:16.159 --> 01:37:18.880
and rebirth and e anything like that. Just just make a smaller one,

1459
01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:23.239
you know, that's fine, that's
cool. Final Fantasy nine is the one

1460
01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:27.920
with the Jonathan Taylor Thomas looking guy, right, Yeah, yes, the

1461
01:37:28.000 --> 01:37:32.039
one with the tail. Yeah,
okay, okay is probably Gokus. I

1462
01:37:32.079 --> 01:37:34.199
mean you've got a tail and you're
a little boy, you're probably Goku.

1463
01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:39.600
Yeah. I've always been f F
nine curious. It was a weird one

1464
01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:41.680
that I skipped. I don't know
why I skipped it as a kid,

1465
01:37:42.359 --> 01:37:47.319
Maybe because like it wasn't a cool
Zidane. Zidane wasn't a cool looking dude

1466
01:37:47.479 --> 01:37:53.199
like that squall was. Yeah,
they went kind of back to basics.

1467
01:37:53.319 --> 01:37:55.479
On that one and that's why a
lot of people like it because it is

1468
01:37:55.600 --> 01:38:00.880
that PS one era RPG just with
the stylings of the Super Nintendo kind of

1469
01:38:00.960 --> 01:38:06.199
games. Yep. Uh, I
think that this probably happens this year.

1470
01:38:06.560 --> 01:38:12.039
I think we probably get this game
actually, but by the holiday, I

1471
01:38:12.079 --> 01:38:17.239
don't know. Discussing, Yeah,
my god, Residentvial nine will be open

1472
01:38:17.279 --> 01:38:21.119
world, a leaker suggests. According
to noted leaker Descullum, who has a

1473
01:38:21.159 --> 01:38:26.159
lot of Capcom leaks, Resident Evil
nine is reportedly in development as an open

1474
01:38:26.239 --> 01:38:31.399
world game. Okay, this is
part of so uh Dragon's Dogma two is

1475
01:38:31.439 --> 01:38:34.319
an open world game in the RI
engine. It's the first open world game

1476
01:38:34.439 --> 01:38:39.560
and the RI engine. And apparently
at Capcom they do this initiative when they

1477
01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:43.279
start something new to expand what they're
doing. They do it in like three

1478
01:38:43.359 --> 01:38:46.640
game bursts. And Residentvial nine and
the next Monster Hunter will be part of

1479
01:38:46.760 --> 01:38:53.960
this open world resident or ore Engine
initiative, and that means Residuabal nine will

1480
01:38:54.000 --> 01:38:58.039
be somehow an open world game.
Is this something you guys want? Do

1481
01:38:58.079 --> 01:38:59.880
you think it could be good?
What do you think it looks like?

1482
01:39:00.520 --> 01:39:05.560
I'm my instant reaction is I don't
want that the way that Emma was you

1483
01:39:05.680 --> 01:39:10.840
and were breaking it down yesterday of
like, Okay, maybe if like the

1484
01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:14.640
big monsters stick to their specific zones
or whatever, and then you can come

1485
01:39:14.680 --> 01:39:18.359
across them there and that's when you
have like the tailored levels and encounters.

1486
01:39:18.560 --> 01:39:24.439
Okay, but I don't I don't
want like a nemesis like thing running after

1487
01:39:24.560 --> 01:39:28.880
me through Oh is that that's the
thing you you you sort of fear out

1488
01:39:28.880 --> 01:39:32.600
of the gate with hearing that.
I mean just because Dragon's talking with two

1489
01:39:32.640 --> 01:39:35.399
does have this ability to like the
enemies will follow you across the land.

1490
01:39:35.439 --> 01:39:39.399
Now if you get far enough away, they'll lose interest. But they don't

1491
01:39:39.399 --> 01:39:47.159
have like a zone usually that they're
soldier game sean. Hell yeah, regardless,

1492
01:39:47.439 --> 01:39:55.399
I feel like has been able to
reinvent itself every year four and you

1493
01:39:55.479 --> 01:39:58.119
know, like I don't want to, uh, you know, I want

1494
01:39:58.119 --> 01:40:00.159
to give them the benefit of the
doubt. They've done it before, like

1495
01:40:00.439 --> 01:40:06.079
every resident evil thing made by them, remake or new entry in the last

1496
01:40:06.479 --> 01:40:11.920
half a decade more better part of
a decade. All right. I was

1497
01:40:11.960 --> 01:40:15.319
waiting for that qualifier because anyt think
Backlar was gonna hop on the ri six

1498
01:40:15.439 --> 01:40:18.079
grenade easily. No, of course
not of course not I'm not I'm not

1499
01:40:18.239 --> 01:40:23.520
delusional, but like, yeah,
like they really can do no wrong.

1500
01:40:24.000 --> 01:40:28.279
You have to have faith, have
to trust that a little that like they've

1501
01:40:28.359 --> 01:40:31.319
earned that equity for sure. Yeah, And also we don't know what open

1502
01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:34.880
world means in this context, because
my first reaction was like I was actually

1503
01:40:34.880 --> 01:40:40.039
thinking like Uncharted four, where maybe
you're playing as like Rose driving around the

1504
01:40:40.159 --> 01:40:45.119
UK countryside and there's like little you
know, creepy huts and villages and stuff

1505
01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:46.520
that you need to like go and
inspect, and yeah, there's a zombie

1506
01:40:46.880 --> 01:40:49.640
hiding in the floorboards or something like
that. But then I also thought,

1507
01:40:50.159 --> 01:40:54.960
well, wait a second, open
world can just mean a city at some

1508
01:40:55.039 --> 01:40:58.520
point the Giant Bomb chat, what
if you're if it's like an older game

1509
01:40:58.560 --> 01:41:02.439
or prequel sign and you're just in
Raccoon City and it's open world Raccoon City.

1510
01:41:02.760 --> 01:41:08.520
I mean the as linear as like
all the other games have sort of

1511
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:11.760
been. You still can go back, like, you still can move around

1512
01:41:11.960 --> 01:41:17.279
those maps in a way that you
know is the experiences for sure. Yes,

1513
01:41:17.399 --> 01:41:23.800
So I think it's going to be
something totally It's gonna look informed by

1514
01:41:23.880 --> 01:41:27.760
Dragon's Dogma two. Yeah, I
mean that's fine, whatever, I just

1515
01:41:28.039 --> 01:41:31.079
uh yeah, I mean plus and
as much as like it'll probably build upon,

1516
01:41:31.239 --> 01:41:34.960
you know, something like what Village
was right with the Village was like

1517
01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:40.079
the four bosses, right, and
then like, yeah, like do that

1518
01:41:40.560 --> 01:41:43.880
plus a ton of that is still
going to have your like hallways in your

1519
01:41:43.920 --> 01:41:46.960
areas and all that ship that makes
resident Evil Resident Evil. You're probably gonna

1520
01:41:46.960 --> 01:41:51.960
come across a mansion actually a mini
or something like that. Awesome excited get

1521
01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:58.000
Let's let's do this baby first,
third person first. I'd like that.

1522
01:41:58.399 --> 01:42:00.439
That's right, That's right. The
new ones are first, Yeah, keeping

1523
01:42:00.439 --> 01:42:01.720
if anyone there first, Yeah,
keep. You like the option and they

1524
01:42:01.800 --> 01:42:04.239
put the option in seven in Village, and I like being able to go

1525
01:42:04.319 --> 01:42:08.880
between both. That's true. I
they like doing well, I mean,

1526
01:42:08.920 --> 01:42:12.119
they like doing Rules of Threes apparently, but they like doing trilogy stuff.

1527
01:42:12.119 --> 01:42:16.279
So I assume this would be closer. Installis set. Yeah. Microsoft has

1528
01:42:16.319 --> 01:42:21.319
reportedly reached an agreement with crash Bandicoot
dav Toys for Bob for a new game.

1529
01:42:21.399 --> 01:42:28.359
Microsoft has reportbly reached this agreement.
They the Toys for Bob left Microsoft

1530
01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:31.640
after the acquisition from Activision, which
was a weird thing. This is there

1531
01:42:31.720 --> 01:42:34.359
was a bunch of layoffs that hit
Toys for Bob as well as a bunch

1532
01:42:34.399 --> 01:42:38.760
of other studios, and then there
was some talk that Toys for Bob was

1533
01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:42.439
going to get shut down, and
instead of getting shut down, they left

1534
01:42:42.560 --> 01:42:47.119
Microsoft and are now an independent studio. But they immediately made this deal to

1535
01:42:47.279 --> 01:42:51.319
make a game for Microsoft. So
it's this weird Okay, you're with us

1536
01:42:51.399 --> 01:42:54.800
and now you're not with us,
but can you will pay you to make

1537
01:42:54.880 --> 01:42:59.800
something? Why this needed to happen? I don't fully understand. I'm sure

1538
01:42:59.840 --> 01:43:03.039
that this there's beneficial reasons, like
obviously getting people off your payrolls what Microsoft

1539
01:43:03.159 --> 01:43:08.319
wanted. I suppose now they're paying
them immediately, so I guess that's cheaper.

1540
01:43:08.960 --> 01:43:11.439
Hopefully the studio will be able to
take on other jobs as well to

1541
01:43:11.840 --> 01:43:15.000
pay the bills. They are likely
here going to be making what they're good

1542
01:43:15.039 --> 01:43:17.840
at. According to these reports,
it's going to be something like a three

1543
01:43:17.880 --> 01:43:25.520
D platformer. What do you guys
want to see them make? The Microsoft

1544
01:43:27.000 --> 01:43:30.520
not a big crash guy, Well
yeah, but they are. They listened

1545
01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:33.600
to Microsoft owns Banjo Kazuy. They
they made the spiral games. Spiral games.

1546
01:43:33.640 --> 01:43:36.520
I'm also not a crash. I'll
take another Banjo Kazui. Yes,

1547
01:43:36.600 --> 01:43:42.039
so I mean that's you know that, would they could Spiro? Yeah,

1548
01:43:42.159 --> 01:43:45.399
I would take Banjo or Spiro over
Crash. Yes, Crash four is good.

1549
01:43:45.439 --> 01:43:48.760
That's the only good Crash game.
Well. I liked U three.

1550
01:43:49.479 --> 01:43:53.199
Yeah, you're allowed to do.
I really played one. I heard four

1551
01:43:53.439 --> 01:43:57.479
was good. All right, yeah
you should plase. What about what what

1552
01:43:57.800 --> 01:44:00.640
about we get crash and Banjo?
What about? What about or what about

1553
01:44:00.680 --> 01:44:04.600
crashes in the backpack? Yeah like
that. I feel like a crash,

1554
01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:10.159
you know, unlikely friends, you
know, I like it? Yes?

1555
01:44:11.359 --> 01:44:18.800
Do they both wear shorts? But
I think shorts crashes John Cena Yeah,

1556
01:44:18.840 --> 01:44:24.960
yes, yeah, George shorts,
tasteful capris. Yeah, okay, so

1557
01:44:25.319 --> 01:44:29.239
just pre pants for everybody. I
saw someone in one of the chats mentioned

1558
01:44:29.359 --> 01:44:32.199
cameo. Is it cameo? Elements
of power? That's rare? Is that

1559
01:44:32.399 --> 01:44:36.000
rare? That's rare? But is
not going to go back to Cameo?

1560
01:44:36.239 --> 01:44:40.079
No? I realized that, but
like someone go back to cameo? Right?

1561
01:44:40.199 --> 01:44:43.000
Yeah? But going to rare to
go back to cameo? Shot that

1562
01:44:43.159 --> 01:44:47.159
cameo? What would you want from
a new Spiral game. Honestly, kind

1563
01:44:47.199 --> 01:44:50.920
of just going back to what those
first three games were, you know,

1564
01:44:51.319 --> 01:44:56.920
level by level, kind of supplatform, but fully closed sex scenes with the

1565
01:44:57.000 --> 01:45:05.239
dragons. Yeah, Christ sorry,
Spiral the motorcycle or the Spiral ride a

1566
01:45:05.279 --> 01:45:12.199
motorcy matter? Oh, Spiral's both? Baby. You know what you know

1567
01:45:12.239 --> 01:45:15.239
I discovered recently is a Blinks is
a reference to when a Bobcat and a

1568
01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:21.279
Lynx a mate, they have a
cat called a Blinks. That's yeah,

1569
01:45:21.720 --> 01:45:25.960
yeah, that's what. Yeah.
I just thought it was a time I

1570
01:45:26.000 --> 01:45:28.439
thought you're blinking through Yeah, yeah, but I think that it's a player.

1571
01:45:28.560 --> 01:45:30.840
It's one of them double entendre.
What am I saying? Dude?

1572
01:45:30.880 --> 01:45:36.720
Blinks Blinks was underrated? That those
games a rule underrated? I played Blinks.

1573
01:45:36.880 --> 01:45:41.399
I played Blinks? Is bad?
Is it bad? Oh? You

1574
01:45:41.479 --> 01:45:44.119
have already have two more blank Club
games. Never mind, I don't think

1575
01:45:44.159 --> 01:45:46.359
that'd be blank Club. I don't
think it's quite Blake Club. Now,

1576
01:45:48.840 --> 01:45:51.680
please tell me if this was good
or bad. It was a PS two

1577
01:45:51.760 --> 01:45:57.760
platform er. I think it was
in a claim joint. Unleashed. You

1578
01:45:57.840 --> 01:46:00.399
were like a your rabbit, Yeah, weird weasel in a rabbit. I

1579
01:46:00.439 --> 01:46:05.439
think, yeah, there was like
a science experiment and it or something.

1580
01:46:05.760 --> 01:46:10.840
I think that games don't quick.
Was it like this movie fled Were they're

1581
01:46:10.840 --> 01:46:14.359
handcuffed together? Yeah? They were. They were cuffed together. Okay,

1582
01:46:15.039 --> 01:46:18.640
so like knuckles chaotics or whatever that
was unleash. It's betther than I remember

1583
01:46:18.680 --> 01:46:23.479
it. Oh okay, all right, never mind, because I was thinking

1584
01:46:23.520 --> 01:46:26.119
of like, oh, it'd be
funny to it's like handcuff Mike Manatti to

1585
01:46:26.279 --> 01:46:30.920
like a weasel. So this is
very fun. Wait, so this is

1586
01:46:31.079 --> 01:46:35.079
Did you talk a little bit about
the relationship between Toys for Bob and Microsoft,

1587
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:40.600
Like aren't they ultimately what we talked
about? No, but I'm just

1588
01:46:40.600 --> 01:46:44.039
saying, like, how does that
work? How does what work? I

1589
01:46:44.079 --> 01:46:47.199
mean, they are they Toyster Bob
was part of Microsoft after the activission next

1590
01:46:47.439 --> 01:46:53.640
acquisition, Toyster Bob has now left
to be independent and they are now an

1591
01:46:53.640 --> 01:46:56.800
independent studio. But they've made a
contract deal to make a game. So

1592
01:46:57.960 --> 01:47:00.880
yeah, I wonder like how the
machinations all that kind of I do,

1593
01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:03.319
Like I said, I don't understand
why that needed to happen. Why how

1594
01:47:03.319 --> 01:47:06.520
it's beneficial not to just have Toyster
Bob working for Microsoft making this game.

1595
01:47:08.399 --> 01:47:11.960
I don't know why this happened.
It's Xbox, it's not That's why it's

1596
01:47:12.000 --> 01:47:14.920
weird. But I know this is
especially a big thing in like Japanese game

1597
01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:18.000
development, where they just get tired
of a company and so developer will leave,

1598
01:47:18.079 --> 01:47:21.760
but then they'll stay on as a
contractor Trausingly, what's happening here just

1599
01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:26.520
you know, the entire freaking studio
is now like contracted because they just want

1600
01:47:26.560 --> 01:47:30.039
their into posits to do other stuff
if they want to. It seems possible,

1601
01:47:30.880 --> 01:47:34.039
all right, last a story here, Final Fantasy sixteen. It's final

1602
01:47:34.119 --> 01:47:38.640
DLC. Got to release date.
Final Fantasy sixteen's second post re release a

1603
01:47:38.720 --> 01:47:43.520
DLC, The Rising Tide, will
be released on PlayStation five on April eighteenth

1604
01:47:43.560 --> 01:47:45.479
for twenty dollars. It's part of
the expansion pass you get at that.

1605
01:47:45.640 --> 01:47:48.279
But then they'll be known with Final
Fantasy sixteen. I was in the room

1606
01:47:48.279 --> 01:47:53.039
when Ben Star helped that team announce
that they were People were freaking out.

1607
01:47:53.079 --> 01:47:55.720
I don't know if people like Final
Fantasy sixteen. So he was wearing a

1608
01:47:55.760 --> 01:48:00.680
shirt that said baby girl, So
there you go. Can that's true?

1609
01:48:00.800 --> 01:48:03.000
That's true? Am I? Like
the only person around here who actually likes

1610
01:48:03.039 --> 01:48:08.119
sixteen. I thought you like fell
off of it a little bit. Did

1611
01:48:08.199 --> 01:48:11.600
you see it through? I saw
it through. Uh. I think it

1612
01:48:11.800 --> 01:48:18.199
became less Kingdom heartsy than I was
led to believe. But the combat was

1613
01:48:18.319 --> 01:48:24.399
great throughout. I thought it was
very fun, very yeah. Hell yeah,

1614
01:48:24.439 --> 01:48:28.239
Tar Rules. It's a very fun
action game. As an RPG,

1615
01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:32.880
obviously less so, but it's solid. I gets solid. I think it's

1616
01:48:32.880 --> 01:48:35.319
sorry. I enjoyed what I played
of it, but I definitely fell off

1617
01:48:35.359 --> 01:48:40.920
pretty early, like the first two
hours. I enjoy Ben Starr's line delivery

1618
01:48:41.119 --> 01:48:45.520
of saying the name Joshua. It's
like Joshua Josh. I think about Joshua

1619
01:48:45.680 --> 01:48:49.680
a lot. Anything he says is
fucking cool, especially josh I had a

1620
01:48:49.760 --> 01:48:58.079
mini espresso today, Joshua, oh
Man, that silk. That does it

1621
01:48:58.119 --> 01:49:00.159
for the news and the shows.
Once again, your I am going to

1622
01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:02.920
take it and I'm going to put
it to bed because it's been a little

1623
01:49:02.920 --> 01:49:05.680
bit naughty. It's been a little
bit nasty. And then we're going to

1624
01:49:05.720 --> 01:49:14.279
read some emails from you, the
folks at at home sweet and we have

1625
01:49:14.479 --> 01:49:27.439
returned to read emails emails Podcast joint
bom dot com is the email addressed to

1626
01:49:27.479 --> 01:49:30.960
send your emails to. You can
write in about any and everything. If

1627
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:35.000
you want to avoid awkward social interactions
at a public gathering and want to pretend

1628
01:49:35.000 --> 01:49:40.239
you're texting someone, send us an
email. If you have questions, yeah,

1629
01:49:40.239 --> 01:49:44.520
I just send them in. Oh
yes, Jeff, I won't say

1630
01:49:44.560 --> 01:49:49.720
who. I won't say who.
Okay, but somebody you said who twice

1631
01:49:49.760 --> 01:49:55.239
now though, Well that's a hint. Now it was our friendly apwl.

1632
01:49:55.319 --> 01:50:00.479
No. Uh, someone at PAX
told me a story that they were fake

1633
01:50:00.359 --> 01:50:06.119
phone conversing to avoid talking to someone
and it blew up in their face.

1634
01:50:08.039 --> 01:50:12.840
Oh no, they got caught.
They got caught because like their phone's on

1635
01:50:13.159 --> 01:50:18.720
screen, like went on and the
person realized that they were talking to nobody.

1636
01:50:19.479 --> 01:50:26.600
Way to help me, Jeff with
the fun. No, it was

1637
01:50:26.640 --> 01:50:30.640
awesome. I'm sorry. I just
wanted to blow up that person's spot.

1638
01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:34.760
I'll maybe hear about it later.
Anyway, Please continue with your emails,

1639
01:50:36.079 --> 01:50:40.399
and I swear to god I shouldn't
have said it last week, but please

1640
01:50:40.439 --> 01:50:45.159
stop signing our email address up for
random mailers. I fucked out, and

1641
01:50:45.199 --> 01:50:48.760
then by saying it again, chan
I realized I fudged up. Have you

1642
01:50:48.880 --> 01:50:55.119
learned nothing? I've learned nothing from
my time. But the first email comes

1643
01:50:55.479 --> 01:51:00.319
from Brian from Kentucky. Y'all don't
even know how unhinged Misted lare gets.

1644
01:51:00.680 --> 01:51:04.520
I don't. I won't get into
too much detail, but basically, these

1645
01:51:04.760 --> 01:51:10.399
are components within miss Lure. One, there are books that allow you to

1646
01:51:10.439 --> 01:51:15.600
travel between worlds. That's not word
two. These books were initially created by

1647
01:51:15.640 --> 01:51:20.119
the Dani, a human like species
who lived in a giant cavern city underneath

1648
01:51:20.199 --> 01:51:26.520
New Mexico until a couple centuries ago
when they wiped themselves out with a bio

1649
01:51:26.600 --> 01:51:30.840
weapon. This is just Mormonism.
Oh, I wrong email address. Sorry.

1650
01:51:31.319 --> 01:51:36.560
Number three. Every universe parentheses called
an age was created by being written

1651
01:51:36.680 --> 01:51:42.119
into a book. The day came
to our world via such a book,

1652
01:51:42.279 --> 01:51:46.840
meaning our world was written by someone
else. Number four. The miss games

1653
01:51:46.960 --> 01:51:51.920
canonically exist within the Misted universe.
The idea is that the games are based

1654
01:51:53.000 --> 01:51:57.920
on actual records of events, but
nobody knows this. Number five. There

1655
01:51:58.000 --> 01:52:03.000
is a Missed tabletop RPG unwritten.
Number six, a more recent Cyan game,

1656
01:52:03.279 --> 01:52:08.039
Abduction, is canonically part of the
Missed universe. Within that game,

1657
01:52:08.279 --> 01:52:11.600
you can find a copy of Unwritten. It all gets very much. A

1658
01:52:11.640 --> 01:52:15.359
Missed universe pageant is about or is
that something different? I'll defer to Mike.

1659
01:52:15.720 --> 01:52:18.880
Mike. Mike's a misty boy,
right, Yeah, Okay, I

1660
01:52:19.039 --> 01:52:21.439
see well, I think he likes
I think he likes Missed. I don't

1661
01:52:21.439 --> 01:52:26.399
know if you ever played Riven,
I played Missed? Do you remember any

1662
01:52:26.439 --> 01:52:30.359
of this? Jeff Negative? I
do think you had to play beyond miss

1663
01:52:30.560 --> 01:52:33.039
really to get a lot of this
stuff, because there's like several sequels to

1664
01:52:33.159 --> 01:52:35.960
Mit to miss and I think they
really get into this, and then there's

1665
01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:39.479
books and all this other stuff.
It's yeah, it's wild. Yes,

1666
01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:44.800
Pissed was also a game. Yes
it was. The Peace stands for piss.

1667
01:52:45.159 --> 01:52:48.079
What I'm saying is that the difference
between Missed and Alan Wake is tone.

1668
01:52:48.359 --> 01:52:53.880
Brian from Skentucky's I say Alan Wake
in like four times in this email

1669
01:52:53.960 --> 01:52:57.720
above and below it says alan Wake. So I feel real cool about that.

1670
01:53:00.760 --> 01:53:04.079
Y'all ever have any interest in playing
Missed or continuing to check out Missed?

1671
01:53:04.199 --> 01:53:09.720
I like that thing, like I
enjoy the I guess like it's scratched

1672
01:53:09.760 --> 01:53:13.439
that similar tomb Raider itch for me
back then where it was just like completely

1673
01:53:13.560 --> 01:53:18.479
obscure, impossible puzzles that don't make
any sense. And that's when I played

1674
01:53:18.560 --> 01:53:24.720
missed. It's it's not a dewey
game, right, doesn't seem like a

1675
01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:30.199
dowey game looking game. I'm a
When y'all were saying dewey game, I

1676
01:53:30.279 --> 01:53:36.000
thought you meant like like, like, like, what, no, you're

1677
01:53:36.079 --> 01:53:43.640
doing missed. There's hockey, and
there's dewey hocky dewey. Yeah, clicky

1678
01:53:43.880 --> 01:53:46.680
soaking, Yeah, it's misty.
Get it missed. The only thing I

1679
01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:54.119
have on my mind now is y'all
missed. Y'all miss anyway? Right?

1680
01:53:54.199 --> 01:53:57.560
The Hall and Oates cover that game, of course. Yeah, that's the

1681
01:53:57.640 --> 01:54:00.079
third one, right. I don't
know how many missed games are. Because

1682
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:06.000
you're missed, you are a missed. Next email comes from I didn't write

1683
01:54:06.039 --> 01:54:11.920
the person, but the subject reads
favorite Simpsons quote If you need inspiration,

1684
01:54:12.319 --> 01:54:15.000
I have three kids and no money. I'd rather have no kids and three

1685
01:54:15.079 --> 01:54:18.520
money. Very good. Someone brought
that up over the weekend, that exact

1686
01:54:18.640 --> 01:54:23.680
quote, so that's pretty good.
My favorite one is one that I think

1687
01:54:23.840 --> 01:54:28.640
is a lot of people's favorites.
It's when Homer's trying to get mister Burns's

1688
01:54:28.720 --> 01:54:32.960
mail from the post office, and
the clerk at the mail center the post

1689
01:54:33.000 --> 01:54:38.000
office tells Homer like, Okay,
mister Burns, I just need your first

1690
01:54:38.079 --> 01:54:41.439
name. What's your first what's your
what's your first name? There, mister

1691
01:54:41.479 --> 01:54:46.920
Burtons Hos just goes, I don't
know. That's funny, no matter how

1692
01:54:46.960 --> 01:54:50.560
old you are. So that's up
there for me. An underrated one that

1693
01:54:50.640 --> 01:54:54.760
I like is when the school bus
goes to Shelby bill and the kids are

1694
01:54:54.840 --> 01:54:58.239
acting up or something, and these
Shelby Billions are like, uh no,

1695
01:54:58.399 --> 01:55:00.720
it seems like Springfield's got to just
one problem, and the other one goes,

1696
01:55:01.199 --> 01:55:03.960
yeah, maybe that's why we beat
him at football nearly half the time.

1697
01:55:04.319 --> 01:55:09.640
Nearly half the time. As as
you said, an underrated one,

1698
01:55:09.720 --> 01:55:11.840
that's the one that came to my
mind as well. So, yes,

1699
01:55:11.960 --> 01:55:15.560
that's such a good one. Nearly
half the time. There's so many good

1700
01:55:15.600 --> 01:55:18.479
ones. I haven't watched a lot
of Simpsons, but someone will just say

1701
01:55:18.560 --> 01:55:21.840
one. It'll be so commonplace.
I don't even think of it as the

1702
01:55:21.880 --> 01:55:26.439
Simpsons, you know. Sure,
yeah, like nothing at all. He's

1703
01:55:26.600 --> 01:55:30.279
it's like wear nothing at all,
nothing at all. Like that was just

1704
01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:34.279
become so commonplace that I don't even
attribute it that to Simpsons anymore. There's

1705
01:55:34.319 --> 01:55:39.079
a classics like, uh, Lisa
needs braces and all that that that gets

1706
01:55:39.079 --> 01:55:42.119
stuck in my head from time to
time. But my bones are so brittle,

1707
01:55:42.239 --> 01:55:49.800
but I always drink plenty of milk. Malk that why Ben says milk

1708
01:55:50.000 --> 01:55:56.199
milk? Maybe? Oh my god, sorry, just like a glass shattering

1709
01:55:56.239 --> 01:56:00.199
moment for me. The ones that
like occur like the pop in my head

1710
01:56:00.239 --> 01:56:03.720
for no perceivable reason. Is stuff
like the the Muppet, like what's the

1711
01:56:03.840 --> 01:56:06.359
up? Well it's not quite a
mop and it's not quite a puppet,

1712
01:56:06.439 --> 01:56:11.279
but oh boy, answer your question. I don't know, like like that,

1713
01:56:11.520 --> 01:56:13.079
Like I don't know. I think
about that one all the time,

1714
01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:15.039
but it's never relevant to anything.
I feel like I missed out because for

1715
01:56:15.119 --> 01:56:18.359
whatever reason, not that my parents
didn't allow me to watch The Simpsons,

1716
01:56:18.359 --> 01:56:20.920
but I just didn't watch it growing
up, Like I remember, I like

1717
01:56:21.000 --> 01:56:25.439
what Sewan you're saying, just I
know a couple of the cultural touchtone ones,

1718
01:56:25.479 --> 01:56:27.880
but like, yeah, I did
not watch a lot of it at

1719
01:56:27.880 --> 01:56:31.840
all. I feel like the golden
Age of Simpsons kind of happened before we

1720
01:56:31.920 --> 01:56:38.199
were all just to be interested in. Right, pretty good again. Yeah

1721
01:56:38.239 --> 01:56:41.800
it's twenty years, but it got
pretty decent again. Super eyepatchwal did a

1722
01:56:41.920 --> 01:56:45.680
video recently like it's back, It's
It's good again. It's a good video.

1723
01:56:45.039 --> 01:56:48.279
When Chief Wigham is trying to radio
in his location during the film in

1724
01:56:48.359 --> 01:56:55.960
Louis episode and he's like, I'm
directly under the earth sun. Now what

1725
01:56:56.279 --> 01:57:02.800
episode is it where Homer's like stupid
sixty Flanders at all? Yeah, okay,

1726
01:57:03.680 --> 01:57:09.920
yeah, I want to big a
Futurama kid, but probably never seen

1727
01:57:09.960 --> 01:57:12.880
an episode. I thank you.
I think I think I would too.

1728
01:57:12.960 --> 01:57:15.720
I think I would. Of course
you would. Why wouldn't I am the

1729
01:57:15.800 --> 01:57:18.119
future? Almost kind of like the
American dad to the Simpsons family guy.

1730
01:57:18.520 --> 01:57:20.880
It's kind of just a different tone, different type of humor. So I

1731
01:57:21.000 --> 01:57:24.319
like it a little bit more.
It breaks my brain to think that way,

1732
01:57:24.399 --> 01:57:30.199
but you're right correct. Next email
forgot to write the emailer's name,

1733
01:57:30.279 --> 01:57:34.319
but they write in high bombers.
Oh there they go, Anthony from Raley

1734
01:57:34.359 --> 01:57:39.039
here. Recently, I've discovered that
my preference for toggle aim seems to be

1735
01:57:39.119 --> 01:57:43.800
pretty strange. Both the Finals and
hell Divers too have had bugs relating to

1736
01:57:43.920 --> 01:57:46.000
toggle aim, and when mentioning it
to some friends I play games with,

1737
01:57:46.239 --> 01:57:49.640
I have found that I'm literally the
only one in my friend group who doesn't

1738
01:57:49.640 --> 01:57:54.439
hold the right mouse button to aim
and instead sets it to toggle. Yeah.

1739
01:57:55.000 --> 01:57:57.720
I don't know how many how that
became my preference, but I'm willing

1740
01:57:57.760 --> 01:58:00.920
to bet the first shooter I played
probably use toggling, and then at that

1741
01:58:01.000 --> 01:58:04.479
point got burned into my brain.
Do you have any other strange control preferences?

1742
01:58:04.840 --> 01:58:08.399
Yes? What the hell does shoot
mean? Come on, don't even

1743
01:58:08.560 --> 01:58:15.039
ask Anthony. It means that's it. That's it. I've always it's not

1744
01:58:15.079 --> 01:58:19.239
really a control preference as much as
a layout thing. But I've always preferred

1745
01:58:19.279 --> 01:58:25.199
like the X and square combat buttons
to the like more traditional now like Dark

1746
01:58:25.239 --> 01:58:30.079
Soul style R one R two,
Like I'm that Devil May Cry Generation was

1747
01:58:30.119 --> 01:58:32.399
like that, that's where you hit
with in an action game. It was

1748
01:58:32.439 --> 01:58:34.399
really weird to me the first time
I saw like R one R two,

1749
01:58:34.439 --> 01:58:36.680
But like that is becoming like the
norm now, which I get it.

1750
01:58:36.920 --> 01:58:43.880
Yeah, for mouse and keyboard,
I would always bind F to reload instead

1751
01:58:43.920 --> 01:58:46.000
of R for some reason, I
don't know why. It's probably like a

1752
01:58:46.079 --> 01:58:54.840
counter strike thing, and uh the
yeah, the the whole toggle aim to

1753
01:58:54.960 --> 01:58:59.840
me breaks my brain. I don't
even I never, I would never.

1754
01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:01.680
That made more sense to me when
they said that they were on mouse,

1755
01:59:01.840 --> 01:59:04.760
because while I was saying controller,
I was like, what are you doing?

1756
01:59:04.800 --> 01:59:08.199
Why would you do that? But
mouse? That makes a little more

1757
01:59:08.239 --> 01:59:12.720
sense. I used to toggle Z
targeting for Zelda, and now I think

1758
01:59:12.760 --> 01:59:16.920
I hold. So a lot of
games, a lot of games these days,

1759
01:59:17.079 --> 01:59:19.560
it is a toggle to lock onto
something. You press the button and

1760
01:59:19.720 --> 01:59:23.960
you like clicking the right stick and
now you've toggled into Z targeting basically.

1761
01:59:24.239 --> 01:59:27.319
Yeah, even in like Akarina,
you could choose between those two. And

1762
01:59:27.439 --> 01:59:30.760
I think I used to toggle and
I think now I hold. Okay,

1763
01:59:30.119 --> 01:59:32.600
both makes sense in their own way. Yeah, I'm fine with ye for

1764
01:59:32.720 --> 01:59:36.720
that. Were you guys like me
in like the nineties and or in early

1765
01:59:36.760 --> 01:59:40.800
two thousands, So I guess you
know, Sewan Jan just to shut up

1766
01:59:40.840 --> 01:59:43.319
for a thirty second time, I
feel like in ninety one, Yeah,

1767
01:59:43.399 --> 01:59:47.760
I'm sure that. I'm sure,
okay, buddy. I bound everything to

1768
01:59:47.880 --> 01:59:53.239
my mouse like I was convinced that, like my eleven button mouse, I

1769
01:59:53.359 --> 01:59:56.720
was just gonna play like games one
handed basically, you know, with one

1770
01:59:56.800 --> 01:59:59.920
behind my back, like I don't
know, I had to do it.

1771
02:00:00.119 --> 02:00:03.800
And then I go, yeah,
the MMO mouse with like the numb padd

1772
02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:06.319
we basically has the like a whole
numb pen on the side. No,

1773
02:00:06.479 --> 02:00:11.279
I just I would get those mice
with like they were like Logitech mice,

1774
02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.920
and they were probably for like you
know, again, I feel like gaming

1775
02:00:15.039 --> 02:00:16.600
mice were a thing. But like
I was like, oh, this is

1776
02:00:16.680 --> 02:00:19.119
used for like productivity or something,
and I would be like, no,

1777
02:00:19.319 --> 02:00:24.600
it's not. It's going to be
used for every button conceivable in max pain

1778
02:00:25.119 --> 02:00:28.600
And that's what I would do.
And I always would just wind up,

1779
02:00:28.680 --> 02:00:30.399
like you know, breaking away from
it for a while because it's just just

1780
02:00:30.479 --> 02:00:33.039
the way to play video game.
I did art, yes that way,

1781
02:00:33.119 --> 02:00:35.399
like Red Alert, you know,
I have all my different control groups instead

1782
02:00:35.399 --> 02:00:38.720
of be like okay, you're my
planes and you're my tanks. Yeah.

1783
02:00:39.159 --> 02:00:41.239
Yeah. When I used to play
a lot of League, I had like

1784
02:00:41.479 --> 02:00:44.960
a mouse button with like a mouse
with like five buttons that I'd be a

1785
02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:47.760
freaking map a bunch of crap to. Yeah, man, it's fine to

1786
02:00:48.119 --> 02:00:50.479
break it, you know. I
don't really have anything like that. But

1787
02:00:50.600 --> 02:00:55.920
this is my first opportunity to blow
up a Jeff Grubb for being an absolute

1788
02:00:55.920 --> 02:00:59.880
psychopath. So when you're holding a
video game controller, okay, yeah,

1789
02:01:00.119 --> 02:01:02.479
usually you have your thumbs on the
left stick and the right stick. Yes,

1790
02:01:02.600 --> 02:01:08.479
and if you want to say,
jump or reload or interact with something,

1791
02:01:08.840 --> 02:01:12.279
you move your right thumb over to
the buns for a second. Don't

1792
02:01:12.279 --> 02:01:15.439
tell me he's doing left hand No, no, no, finger point point

1793
02:01:15.520 --> 02:01:20.079
do you move his thumb the right
stick? I just I barely do.

1794
02:01:20.239 --> 02:01:25.840
I kind of roll up rocks his
thumb over while keep it on the stick.

1795
02:01:25.920 --> 02:01:30.319
Yeah that's wit now what Okay,
Okay, listen, I'm not like

1796
02:01:30.039 --> 02:01:33.119
I'm not like keeping on the very
top. I'm just like usually hitting these

1797
02:01:33.159 --> 02:01:35.760
buttons with like the side of my
thumb so I can get back to the

1798
02:01:35.800 --> 02:01:41.640
stick very quickly. Why not just
move the thumb, bro have you if

1799
02:01:41.680 --> 02:01:44.439
you can do it, I'm trying
to like get as many of the buttons

1800
02:01:44.479 --> 02:01:47.760
to fall underneath my thumb in the
first place. So ide, Hey,

1801
02:01:47.840 --> 02:01:51.720
if you're detrous enough to do this, because I'm like spinning it like this,

1802
02:01:53.439 --> 02:01:57.319
that's not what it looks like.
I just don't do the Benny Caravella

1803
02:01:57.399 --> 02:02:03.520
with the sixty four and hold it
like this and go on it. That's

1804
02:02:03.520 --> 02:02:06.439
why it's a pitchfork. I thought
you were going to say that you use

1805
02:02:06.520 --> 02:02:12.399
your like right index finger somehow hold
in? Are you serious? Wait?

1806
02:02:12.479 --> 02:02:17.279
I didn't like had sixty four growing
up? Is why only hold it like

1807
02:02:17.359 --> 02:02:20.479
this for the wrestling games? Every
other game you do here? Oh?

1808
02:02:20.600 --> 02:02:23.479
Yeah, I didn't. I don't
know that either, because I never had

1809
02:02:23.520 --> 02:02:28.880
a sixty four as demonstrated in denote
And how are you with? You areating

1810
02:02:28.920 --> 02:02:30.640
the button? Yeah, the s
button. You know they're doing. Don't

1811
02:02:30.640 --> 02:02:33.239
even know what that means. Boom
boom boom. It's a trigger and I

1812
02:02:33.279 --> 02:02:36.880
don't know what that means. We
didn't make it that way. The story

1813
02:02:36.960 --> 02:02:41.119
there is that analog sticks were new, and so they didn't know if analog

1814
02:02:41.199 --> 02:02:44.880
sticks would stick around, and so
they designed it in a way where if

1815
02:02:44.960 --> 02:02:46.479
it wasn't popular, you could just
switch over a deep end and just completely

1816
02:02:46.520 --> 02:02:49.880
forget that. But it also was
like it also was it only had like

1817
02:02:50.279 --> 02:02:54.720
eight directions too, right then it
weren't They grew along the plastic like you

1818
02:02:54.760 --> 02:02:57.359
could not. It was pretty sixty
just it had grows to help you get

1819
02:02:57.399 --> 02:03:01.319
in the got you got you add
on a lot of systems. Yeah,

1820
02:03:02.319 --> 02:03:06.399
yeah, I don't know, so
I play inverted because it also like,

1821
02:03:08.199 --> 02:03:11.239
yeah, but people need to like
put stuff in context, like what was

1822
02:03:11.239 --> 02:03:15.279
happening in the nineties. Well,
no, that's the thing. Like flight

1823
02:03:15.399 --> 02:03:18.119
sims were the thing people would talk
about when they were talking about having like

1824
02:03:18.199 --> 02:03:24.920
analog control in video games, when
we first started getting analog controls on consoles

1825
02:03:24.960 --> 02:03:27.239
and stuff like that. So it
was like this big thing where it's like,

1826
02:03:27.319 --> 02:03:30.159
no, you're supposed to play inverted
like a yoke, You're supposed to

1827
02:03:30.159 --> 02:03:32.880
pull back to go up. And
that was like and so if you look

1828
02:03:32.920 --> 02:03:36.560
at those games like Mario sixty four
controls that way. A lot of early

1829
02:03:38.600 --> 02:03:43.600
in sixty four games and even GameCube
games it just had inverted controls as default

1830
02:03:43.640 --> 02:03:45.399
because they just assumed that's the way
you should do it. And I played

1831
02:03:45.520 --> 02:03:48.199
all of those games, and that's
why I play inverted. I just can't

1832
02:03:48.520 --> 02:03:51.760
can't go back now. So yeah, anyone your age, it's absolutely Mario

1833
02:03:51.840 --> 02:03:56.000
sixty four. Yeah, Mario sixty
four is definitely the big one. Yes,

1834
02:03:56.199 --> 02:04:00.319
absolutely, But like I was like
remembering these conversations happening going into Mario

1835
02:04:00.439 --> 02:04:02.279
sixty four, and so for me, it was like the most normal thing

1836
02:04:02.319 --> 02:04:04.079
in the world, never even questioned. In fact, I was like,

1837
02:04:04.600 --> 02:04:06.600
no, yeah, that's the way
we should be doing things. Of course

1838
02:04:06.640 --> 02:04:10.319
I like flight sims, right,
that's the big game. So yeah,

1839
02:04:11.239 --> 02:04:16.359
you guys, I feel like all
of this Mario sixty four talk just starting.

1840
02:04:16.880 --> 02:04:18.159
No, no, no, no, no no. I just need

1841
02:04:18.239 --> 02:04:21.439
to say this because like I need
to. I need everyone to like experience

1842
02:04:21.479 --> 02:04:27.279
with experience to understand you need to
unpack what's going on in my mind right,

1843
02:04:27.399 --> 02:04:31.319
Like lately, like things have have
just triggered very lucid memories for me.

1844
02:04:31.600 --> 02:04:34.840
I don't know what it is.
Maybe you know, I don't know.

1845
02:04:34.880 --> 02:04:39.000
I've reached the point in my life
where I can't make any new memories.

1846
02:04:39.119 --> 02:04:44.680
I have no idea. I uh, I'm mocking traumatic experiences. Yeah,

1847
02:04:44.800 --> 02:04:46.960
yeah, I think that might be
it if kind of traumas maybe agreed

1848
02:04:47.000 --> 02:04:55.239
to be like never kill a man
with the game. Just imagine that Dreamcast

1849
02:04:55.319 --> 02:04:59.000
controller wrapped around someone's neck. No
uh, I think, like, uh,

1850
02:04:59.399 --> 02:05:01.399
not having of sixty four was like
a big deal for me. I

1851
02:05:01.520 --> 02:05:05.199
was like very upset that I didn't
I don't know what a lesser person,

1852
02:05:05.359 --> 02:05:10.439
but yeah it maybe it devalued my
personal stock, right, like I think,

1853
02:05:10.720 --> 02:05:14.800
right? And I and I never
really played anything on time. I

1854
02:05:14.880 --> 02:05:19.199
didn't play uh a Mario Card,
sixty four or Golden Eye until college,

1855
02:05:19.439 --> 02:05:25.319
which I guess was like right,
a little after when did sixty four come

1856
02:05:25.319 --> 02:05:30.359
out in ninety eighty six? Ship? So I didn't. I didn't graduate

1857
02:05:30.640 --> 02:05:34.079
high school to two thousand. So
you know I'm playing this game. I'm

1858
02:05:34.119 --> 02:05:39.199
in college, I'm trying to make
friends, I'm trying to come out for

1859
02:05:39.359 --> 02:05:41.600
you. Yeah, and there I
am, like to college. There,

1860
02:05:41.600 --> 02:05:44.479
I am holding a sixty four controller
for the first time, being like,

1861
02:05:44.640 --> 02:05:49.760
well I got this, no problem, Yeah, miss much man. Yeah

1862
02:05:49.840 --> 02:05:54.520
that's what. It's a good system, these goddamn kids. No, no,

1863
02:05:55.600 --> 02:06:00.760
there's like ten incredible first party game
and not much else. Guess what

1864
02:06:01.039 --> 02:06:09.520
That was true for the Super Nintendo
as well. I love Super but I'll

1865
02:06:09.560 --> 02:06:12.920
take sixty four oward any day of
the week. The high link to the

1866
02:06:12.960 --> 02:06:16.039
past link the past, Super Metroid
Mario World three of the top top top

1867
02:06:16.119 --> 02:06:20.239
top top top games of all time, but the final Fantasy four and six

1868
02:06:20.359 --> 02:06:30.359
and Krono Trigger just immediately I'm on
the right. That's my memory of that.

1869
02:06:30.520 --> 02:06:33.119
But in an episode, in an
episode where I'm gonna get fucking canceled

1870
02:06:33.159 --> 02:06:36.359
for all my bad tastes today,
you are the one in the wrong here,

1871
02:06:36.479 --> 02:06:40.039
buddy. Everyone will agree with me
on this. I had friends.

1872
02:06:40.079 --> 02:06:43.119
I played multiplayer games on the end
sixty four. Yeah, that is when

1873
02:06:43.119 --> 02:06:45.479
I had friends. Was a big
part of that. Yeah, that's weird.

1874
02:06:47.319 --> 02:06:50.000
I did always think he was messed
up being on the other side of

1875
02:06:50.439 --> 02:06:54.960
the console fence of having a p
S one and thinking like, I can

1876
02:06:55.039 --> 02:07:00.119
only play with one other person.
You guys can play with three's. We

1877
02:07:00.159 --> 02:07:01.359
did that, I mean, because
we didn't have all the big single player

1878
02:07:01.399 --> 02:07:06.319
games. Really so interesting. I'm
glad I had this conversation with you guys.

1879
02:07:06.399 --> 02:07:09.760
Thanks. You should get you Do
you want me to get you in

1880
02:07:09.800 --> 02:07:13.039
in sixty four? I'll send you
an in sixty four, like a physical

1881
02:07:13.119 --> 02:07:16.279
one. Yeah. I feel like
I have many things that just play all

1882
02:07:16.359 --> 02:07:20.399
that stuff, Like what like the
controllers, the real controllers, so that

1883
02:07:20.439 --> 02:07:23.880
you can actually hold one for real
now and actually learn how to hold it.

1884
02:07:23.880 --> 02:07:26.760
Would I even be able to plug
it into something well, you have

1885
02:07:26.800 --> 02:07:29.520
to get like a retro tank or
something. Oh Christ, here we go.

1886
02:07:30.399 --> 02:07:33.239
Yeah, I was gonna ask y'all, sorry, I'll give you my

1887
02:07:33.359 --> 02:07:36.159
retro tank five X and I'll expense
a poor k How does that sound?

1888
02:07:36.479 --> 02:07:44.119
There you go? Does that even
mean? Don't worry better? No?

1889
02:07:44.359 --> 02:07:46.560
The expensive stuff bit me in the
ass this weekend. Okay, so no,

1890
02:07:46.800 --> 02:07:50.680
my answer is no bringing the hammer
down. No, I expense my

1891
02:07:50.760 --> 02:07:54.239
gambling. By the way, thanks
for that, appreciate it. Well,

1892
02:07:54.319 --> 02:07:58.800
then I'm entitled to a little bit
of that take. Actually it's not me,

1893
02:07:59.520 --> 02:08:03.159
but we don't have to talk about
that. My gosh, if I

1894
02:08:03.239 --> 02:08:05.359
were to try and revisit the Nintendo
sixty four, y'all think I would need

1895
02:08:05.439 --> 02:08:11.359
to have like the actual controller versus
like, no, you don't games,

1896
02:08:11.840 --> 02:08:15.439
but but there are the games where
you're like, why the hell where is

1897
02:08:15.560 --> 02:08:18.279
this fucking button in your but why
is it up on the right stick?

1898
02:08:18.359 --> 02:08:22.199
Yeah, because the sea buttons.
Everybody, they basically treat the sea buns

1899
02:08:22.279 --> 02:08:26.399
with the A and B buns.
That's like a six controller in some games.

1900
02:08:26.520 --> 02:08:28.239
So he most games, you're fine
if you just like plug a game

1901
02:08:28.239 --> 02:08:31.960
cube controller through the adapter. The
switch one. The switch one's good,

1902
02:08:33.000 --> 02:08:35.359
the switch six, which one's great. The wireless switch one is great,

1903
02:08:35.399 --> 02:08:39.720
So I would just use that with
whatever you're playing on. Have y'all seen

1904
02:08:39.760 --> 02:08:45.800
how like pro tetris players will like
use the controllers do the rocking thing skyscraper.

1905
02:08:45.960 --> 02:08:48.319
Yeah, I think that's wild.
Yep, Mega tapping or whatever,

1906
02:08:48.920 --> 02:08:56.239
Mega tapping all right? Next email
they got two more Here comes from Aron

1907
02:08:56.800 --> 02:09:00.960
Hey best bombs. Aaron here from
Stevens Point, Wisconsin, asking about the

1908
02:09:01.039 --> 02:09:05.079
origin of your names. I'm sure
we all had pop we all had popped

1909
02:09:05.159 --> 02:09:07.880
that question to our folks at one
point, and I bet there is a

1910
02:09:07.920 --> 02:09:11.640
fun story behind the careful consideration or
lack of when we all came into this

1911
02:09:11.800 --> 02:09:16.319
world. A lot of names are
based off of what's hot in entertainment during

1912
02:09:16.359 --> 02:09:20.199
the time. But I was thankfully
lucky enough to have tactics and driven parents

1913
02:09:20.439 --> 02:09:24.159
who had planned out a name not
that not only appeased the Catholic side of

1914
02:09:24.239 --> 02:09:28.840
the family, but was also borderline
impossible to make fun of at the schoolyard

1915
02:09:28.119 --> 02:09:33.159
well until Key and Peel went ahead
and made everything difficult. Regardless, being

1916
02:09:33.199 --> 02:09:35.840
an Aaron in Wisconsin had its ups
and downs. Looking forward to the tails

1917
02:09:35.960 --> 02:09:43.520
Aaron for Jeff there's nothing interesting for
that. But they almost named me in

1918
02:09:43.600 --> 02:09:46.720
nineteen eighty three, so this would
have been a year before anyone knew about

1919
02:09:46.760 --> 02:09:50.680
him. They almost named me Jordan
Michael Grubb, and so my name would

1920
02:09:50.680 --> 02:09:52.880
have been Michael Jordan. That would
have been really weird, I think.

1921
02:09:54.000 --> 02:09:56.439
So. Yeah, I don't named
Jordan. Sorry, all the Jordan's out

1922
02:09:56.479 --> 02:10:01.399
there, you would have been okay. Yeah, I famously hate the name

1923
02:10:01.520 --> 02:10:03.680
Jeff. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. I don't really like

1924
02:10:03.760 --> 02:10:05.439
Jeff either, But I think Jeff
is, like I said, I said,

1925
02:10:05.439 --> 02:10:09.560
a fun name to yell, Right, we talked about this very yes,

1926
02:10:09.680 --> 02:10:11.760
very comedic name to yell, but
beyond that, I have no affinity

1927
02:10:11.840 --> 02:10:16.680
for it. Uh. Yeah,
I don't know the origin I think my

1928
02:10:16.079 --> 02:10:20.399
I know I'm saying the origin of
the name Jeff. I don't know what

1929
02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:22.680
it means. I don't know anything
about it. I know I was named

1930
02:10:22.720 --> 02:10:28.079
that after a relative, and then
and my middle name too, which is

1931
02:10:28.279 --> 02:10:35.479
equally as disliked by me. So
I'm doing fine. Sorry, mine's all

1932
02:10:35.560 --> 02:10:39.800
Catholic stuff. My family got Mary's, Paul's, Dan Daniels, Joe's.

1933
02:10:41.239 --> 02:10:46.760
Yeah, so yeah, a lot
of Catholic stuff. Sean. Mine was

1934
02:10:46.840 --> 02:10:50.279
too, because I'm Irish and Mexican
and it was a question of which side

1935
02:10:50.319 --> 02:10:54.119
of the family do we lean into
and for what reason? They were hung

1936
02:10:54.239 --> 02:10:58.720
up on John to lean into the
Catholic Mexican side of things, but then

1937
02:11:00.039 --> 02:11:03.119
for what reason why to switch to
the Irish side things? And apparently Sean

1938
02:11:03.359 --> 02:11:07.239
is the equivalent of John. You
know, Sean John. You can't talk

1939
02:11:07.239 --> 02:11:16.279
about Sean John right now? Cut
that cut. Supposedly I was named after

1940
02:11:16.399 --> 02:11:22.000
the nurse and doctor Delctor, doctor
that de Loctor that delivered me. Uh,

1941
02:11:22.680 --> 02:11:26.039
except the doctor is not a Jan. He was a Yawn. But

1942
02:11:26.159 --> 02:11:30.920
my parents couldn't say yawn, so
they just pronounced Jan. To this day,

1943
02:11:31.279 --> 02:11:33.560
I've never heard either of my parents
call me Jan. It's only ever

1944
02:11:33.640 --> 02:11:39.520
been Jerome. I don't know why, but fun fact, there is a

1945
02:11:39.640 --> 02:11:46.239
generation of Filipinos around our age that
are named Jan Michael after Jan Michael Vincent,

1946
02:11:48.319 --> 02:11:50.920
Like J Michael, who's that?
Who's He's like an eighties action star

1947
02:11:52.159 --> 02:12:00.359
or a movie star. I like
there was a whole him. I don't

1948
02:12:00.399 --> 02:12:05.560
know. Oh my god, Yeah, that's the mega from a Wolf.

1949
02:12:05.880 --> 02:12:13.800
Yeah, oh, I don't Filipinos
loved a Wolf Yo had a very very

1950
02:12:13.960 --> 02:12:16.479
distinct impact. I don't know,
I don't know who this is. Uh

1951
02:12:18.880 --> 02:12:22.039
oh, you know, speaking about
Filipinos. It's funny the karaoke place,

1952
02:12:22.079 --> 02:12:24.720
the tiki bar we went to.
Within the giant karaoke booklet, there was

1953
02:12:24.840 --> 02:12:31.560
a page dedicated to like, hey, Frank's the Frank Sinatra murders and the

1954
02:12:31.560 --> 02:12:35.359
Philippines were serious cool, that's it, and there it was just like,

1955
02:12:35.479 --> 02:12:39.560
what a weird thing to put into
a karaoke book. Yeah, to take

1956
02:12:39.640 --> 02:12:43.560
up a page. I am not
familiar with the Frank Sinatra murders. My

1957
02:12:43.720 --> 02:12:48.960
way, yes, yes, exactly. Basically, the Philippines, Filipinos take

1958
02:12:48.039 --> 02:12:52.840
karaoke very seriously. It's an Olympic
sport that I fail at tremendously all the

1959
02:12:52.920 --> 02:13:00.199
time. And if you toast you
crushed, you crushed your jay z at

1960
02:13:00.239 --> 02:13:03.000
karaoke, you did very well,
So shut up, thank you, thank

1961
02:13:03.039 --> 02:13:07.760
you, grib. I appreciate it. Basically, Like you know, my

1962
02:13:07.960 --> 02:13:11.319
way is just like on a holy
grail of karaoke songs. So if you

1963
02:13:11.439 --> 02:13:13.920
choose to sing it, and you
sing it poorly, you would get Okay,

1964
02:13:13.439 --> 02:13:18.399
this doesn't sound familiar. Don't like, don't invoke Frank Sinatra if you're

1965
02:13:18.399 --> 02:13:20.880
not gonna do it well, geez. I have just think memories of like

1966
02:13:22.239 --> 02:13:24.359
being at a bar with my pops. I don't know why I was at

1967
02:13:24.399 --> 02:13:28.720
the bar. Someone chose to sing
it, singing it very poorly. A

1968
02:13:28.800 --> 02:13:33.000
couple other Filipino gentlemen stood up like
I stopped singing it and high tailed out

1969
02:13:33.000 --> 02:13:41.880
of the bar. So well.
Then last email comes from Lexi Luddy,

1970
02:13:43.560 --> 02:13:46.359
who I don't know. I don't
know. I've never heard that name before.

1971
02:13:48.760 --> 02:13:52.760
Subject reads weird convention stories. Hey
Bombers, Lexi from Ireland with packs,

1972
02:13:52.760 --> 02:13:56.720
having just passed in Summer game Fest
entering the Horizon. I'm curious if

1973
02:13:56.760 --> 02:14:01.479
you have any fun convention stories from
your early days in the industry when you

1974
02:14:01.520 --> 02:14:05.640
were finding your feet. My second
ever appointment at Anything was a demo and

1975
02:14:05.800 --> 02:14:09.680
interview with Eric Chahi, out of
This World developer for his VR game paper

1976
02:14:09.760 --> 02:14:13.640
Beast. Problem was I literally never
used a VR headset before outside of those

1977
02:14:13.680 --> 02:14:18.000
cardboard headsets. He puts your phone
into the booth for the demo is about

1978
02:14:18.239 --> 02:14:22.840
two meters by two meters and three
of us had to stand in it with

1979
02:14:22.960 --> 02:14:26.359
a TV in PS four. He
was so hot and disorienting that by the

1980
02:14:26.439 --> 02:14:28.199
time the demo ended and they asked
what questions I had, I was so

1981
02:14:28.359 --> 02:14:31.520
nauseous I almost threw up on his
shoes, mumbled, do you have any

1982
02:14:31.640 --> 02:14:35.079
a planned release date? And excuse
myself to run to the bathroom. See

1983
02:14:35.079 --> 02:14:41.760
you in La lexwins Damn. I
did an interview with Jeff Green when he

1984
02:14:41.920 --> 02:14:46.720
just went to PopCap at a pas
and he was very kind. He gave

1985
02:14:46.760 --> 02:14:50.439
me this interview. We talked about
stuff, and we were started talking about

1986
02:14:50.479 --> 02:14:52.239
PopCap and I basically asked a question
in such a way that it would like

1987
02:14:52.319 --> 02:14:54.439
kind of if he answered, it
would kind of force him to say whether

1988
02:14:54.479 --> 02:14:58.920
or not PopCap was going to start
making free to play games with micro transactions.

1989
02:14:58.520 --> 02:15:01.079
And he answered it, and I'm
like, that's the story. I

1990
02:15:01.119 --> 02:15:03.359
wrote that, like, hey,
no, look, he's basically saying it

1991
02:15:03.359 --> 02:15:07.520
that there's going to be free to
play games from PopCap going forward, and

1992
02:15:07.760 --> 02:15:11.359
he got in a lot of trouble
at work, and it made me feel

1993
02:15:11.439 --> 02:15:13.039
very bad because I'm a huge fan
of Jeff Green, and so I felt

1994
02:15:13.119 --> 02:15:18.840
very bad. Now turns out they
made free to play games with micro transactions

1995
02:15:18.960 --> 02:15:22.159
immediately after that, so it was
all true, but yeah, it was

1996
02:15:22.199 --> 02:15:24.760
like not interviewing Jeff Green to get
him in trouble. So I remember every

1997
02:15:24.800 --> 02:15:28.520
time after. I remember actually we
always had a planel later later where like

1998
02:15:28.560 --> 02:15:31.880
he was going to be part of
it, and he was telling it to

1999
02:15:31.000 --> 02:15:35.039
Patrick Kleppik and basically they like turned
around in like a gesture toward me,

2000
02:15:35.079 --> 02:15:35.920
and I was like, I'm sorry, Jeff, I didn't mean it.

2001
02:15:37.399 --> 02:15:39.239
And yes, that was like one
of my first pacts. Yeah, I

2002
02:15:39.279 --> 02:15:43.720
think it was probably like eight.
It was like the Wei era and I

2003
02:15:43.800 --> 02:15:48.520
forgot to pack underwear to E three
and in front of the convention Center.

2004
02:15:48.039 --> 02:15:52.760
So I'm walking around just you know, Jean's on and it's very uncomfortable.

2005
02:15:52.800 --> 02:15:56.239
It's the summer, it's la and
you were going you were going that way,

2006
02:15:58.039 --> 02:16:01.640
that way, like you weren't wearing
underwear. Correct. I forgot to

2007
02:16:01.640 --> 02:16:03.479
pascause there was nothing you could have
done. No, no, So I

2008
02:16:03.800 --> 02:16:07.520
go, you know, to the
convention center and just wearing what I got

2009
02:16:09.159 --> 02:16:13.119
and they had a giant toilet out
front, like a twenty five put toilet

2010
02:16:13.199 --> 02:16:16.439
for like Raymn Raving Rabbits TV party
or something like that, and they had

2011
02:16:16.680 --> 02:16:20.479
the gimmick was you throw a piece
of swag and was back when they were

2012
02:16:20.520 --> 02:16:22.359
swag into the toilet and if you
can make it like a basketball shot,

2013
02:16:22.640 --> 02:16:26.520
you won Rayman boxers. And I
was like, perfect, I haven't even

2014
02:16:26.560 --> 02:16:30.479
walked into the you agree yet and
a solution to my problem? And I

2015
02:16:30.560 --> 02:16:33.120
walked up, damn luck, and
I walked up and I asked the guy.

2016
02:16:33.120 --> 02:16:37.680
I was like, hey, hey, could really uh really use those

2017
02:16:37.719 --> 02:16:39.399
boxers I have. You've gone to
the convention center yet, you mind?

2018
02:16:39.520 --> 02:16:41.879
Uh? Can I just get some
of those boxers? And he's like he's

2019
02:16:41.920 --> 02:16:45.520
is clearly some guy hired by,
like, oh, yeah, no,

2020
02:16:45.559 --> 02:16:46.760
they got to throw the swag in. You get the boxers, you get

2021
02:16:46.760 --> 02:16:48.200
the box I was like, yeah, yeah, I get it, but

2022
02:16:48.879 --> 02:16:52.639
I just I could use some right
now. And I haven't been in there

2023
02:16:52.680 --> 02:16:56.399
yet to get swag? Is there
any chance I could just get some?

2024
02:16:56.280 --> 02:16:58.479
And he's like, no, no, you can't. I said, listen,

2025
02:16:58.520 --> 02:17:01.600
I'm gonna level with you, dude. I forgot I forgot to bring

2026
02:17:01.719 --> 02:17:05.719
underpants. I need underpants and he
just positive, sorry, I got put

2027
02:17:05.760 --> 02:17:09.079
swag in. You get something like
gradually, like walking around the show floor,

2028
02:17:09.360 --> 02:17:13.040
like grabbing ship, like swagging posters
and T shirts and stuff going back

2029
02:17:13.079 --> 02:17:16.639
out and just shooting it like an
asshole. Got it, went inside,

2030
02:17:16.680 --> 02:17:22.639
put them on. Oh man,
I got the boxers, but like I

2031
02:17:22.680 --> 02:17:26.280
wish I could have just been hand
you know each time going out of the

2032
02:17:26.319 --> 02:17:31.760
conventions that are just passing an old
navy as well. Well, I don't

2033
02:17:31.799 --> 02:17:35.319
know what that's gonna do. Yeah, So did you just have the one

2034
02:17:35.440 --> 02:17:39.000
pair? Dan? No? I
think I threw a bunch of swag in

2035
02:17:39.040 --> 02:17:41.879
there, and I kept going back
like they're changing shifts. I'll go up

2036
02:17:41.920 --> 02:17:46.040
now you rabbits boxers in your home. No, I got rid of those

2037
02:17:46.079 --> 02:17:52.680
at some point. It's just you
were just like it's not Larry David adjacent.

2038
02:17:54.879 --> 02:17:58.920
It's just you are just I don't
know. There's as Kramer mm,

2039
02:17:58.559 --> 02:18:05.680
which is the character Cramer? Yeah? I think Michael Richards. Yeah,

2040
02:18:05.760 --> 02:18:09.239
yeah, everyone guys with that for
sure. Yeah. I don't know.

2041
02:18:09.319 --> 02:18:15.000
The first SGF, I ripped my
pants really bad and I didn't bother to

2042
02:18:15.040 --> 02:18:18.479
buy new pants, and it was
a really awkward crotch rip. And then

2043
02:18:18.639 --> 02:18:22.200
like this was you did bother to
buy pants, you just didn't actually commit

2044
02:18:22.319 --> 02:18:26.319
to buying pants. Can you go
out to buy pants? No? Tam

2045
02:18:26.360 --> 02:18:28.799
and I like, we're like dead
set, we're gonna buy pants tomorrow,

2046
02:18:28.799 --> 02:18:31.200
we're gonna stream it. And then
we just didn't buy pants tomorrow, and

2047
02:18:31.280 --> 02:18:39.280
I just had to keep like my
my my walk very uh yeah, and

2048
02:18:39.399 --> 02:18:43.559
I remember, uh like this was
when we had made the big shift and

2049
02:18:43.639 --> 02:18:48.479
everything, and Tam and Lucy tell
me like, all right, mate,

2050
02:18:48.639 --> 02:18:50.639
Bruce Green's gonna interview us on Twitch
and We're going to talk about like the

2051
02:18:50.680 --> 02:18:54.159
new changes to joint ball and stuff. I'm like, oh, no,

2052
02:18:54.360 --> 02:18:58.360
okay. And then I told Bruce
before we went on on airs, like

2053
02:18:58.520 --> 02:19:03.120
yeah, man, I just ripped
my pants, so yo. And then

2054
02:19:03.120 --> 02:19:07.879
he immediately talks about me ripping my
pants, and then my cousin and was

2055
02:19:07.920 --> 02:19:11.280
watching the stream and then it is
strict close up on my ripped pants.

2056
02:19:11.159 --> 02:19:16.600
It's good times anyway. That does
it? For emails, BombCast to chime

2057
02:19:16.719 --> 02:19:22.639
bomb dot com is the email address
to send your emails to. What do

2058
02:19:22.719 --> 02:19:24.600
we got going on the rest of
this week, folks? More Game of

2059
02:19:24.760 --> 02:19:28.879
Mornings from Wednesday, Thursday to Friday. Another epode to get back in the

2060
02:19:30.000 --> 02:19:35.760
Superman mind. Super Damn the Dan
of Steel. That's right to play more

2061
02:19:35.840 --> 02:19:39.319
of that. You are more than
halfway through. I am oh, I've

2062
02:19:39.360 --> 02:19:45.600
been making good progress. We shot
heard around the world. Last episode is

2063
02:19:45.680 --> 02:19:50.600
still weighing heavily on my soul,
but we're gonna keep going. Do you

2064
02:19:50.680 --> 02:19:54.159
think the new wig is affecting your
playing skill? Has it helping you out?

2065
02:19:54.360 --> 02:19:58.280
Feels like it's got to train you
know, the old like phrenology gimmick

2066
02:19:58.319 --> 02:20:00.680
where it's like they would put the
calibers in here head and stuff like that.

2067
02:20:00.719 --> 02:20:03.200
It feels like it's got all those
inside of it. So it's like

2068
02:20:03.280 --> 02:20:05.760
feels like there's just pointy things all
over my head. I don't know if

2069
02:20:05.760 --> 02:20:09.200
it's activating my brain in bad ways, but it's better than the hair getting

2070
02:20:09.239 --> 02:20:13.719
in my face and between my headphones, and so like the new hair,

2071
02:20:13.760 --> 02:20:16.600
I like better. Yeah good,
Yeah. I wish you brought the wig

2072
02:20:18.120 --> 02:20:22.239
to packs. Huh. I can't
afford to look ridiculous. Jeff fair enough,

2073
02:20:22.840 --> 02:20:26.479
who can argue with that dumb dumb
truck. We'll have UPF, We'll

2074
02:20:26.559 --> 02:20:30.639
have BCR, We'll get all that
stuff figured out and put on the site

2075
02:20:30.680 --> 02:20:33.520
for you, maybe some other stuff
in between. We're gonna probably have a

2076
02:20:33.559 --> 02:20:37.239
bunch of stuff on UPF. So
maybe I'll try to play Dragons Dogma on

2077
02:20:37.360 --> 02:20:41.479
the site. Sometime before that,
Yeah, someone sent me another casino roguelike

2078
02:20:41.559 --> 02:20:48.159
game involving dice and uh slowly being
destroyed. It's it's set outside of a

2079
02:20:48.200 --> 02:20:50.600
casino, so we're kind of okay
here. Yeah, that's what means.

2080
02:20:50.799 --> 02:20:56.280
My dad tried Bilatro and he said
he's very confused because it's not how poker

2081
02:20:56.399 --> 02:20:58.079
works. So cool. Yeah,
that sounds like the right. Yeah,

2082
02:20:58.399 --> 02:21:01.680
yeah, fantastic phantom. Get on
a FaceTime with them and try to help

2083
02:21:01.719 --> 02:21:11.920
them. We'll see if you you
should stream that if you were able to.

2084
02:21:11.360 --> 02:21:16.600
If not able to attend Packs East, no worries, We had the

2085
02:21:16.760 --> 02:21:24.000
panels recorded. The archive for voicemail
Dump Truck Live at Packs soliciting video mails

2086
02:21:24.040 --> 02:21:28.360
from you the folks at the show
floor is now up on the website as

2087
02:21:28.399 --> 02:21:33.120
well as dan docodare live. H
Fortunately you know that I couldn't see all

2088
02:21:33.120 --> 02:21:35.920
the gameplay, but I still feel
like you'll be able to get the message

2089
02:21:35.959 --> 02:21:37.719
across. Also, if you missed
the beast Cast reunion, never been a

2090
02:21:37.760 --> 02:21:41.600
better beast cast. That is also
on the beast cast feed. If you're

2091
02:21:41.600 --> 02:21:45.440
still subscribed there, you can find
it there as well. As on the

2092
02:21:45.559 --> 02:21:50.760
Next Lander Patreon special shots out to
the Nasty Boys, all the fun folks

2093
02:21:50.840 --> 02:21:56.920
that attended the panels lined up,
checked out the panels, stayed around after

2094
02:21:56.040 --> 02:22:00.799
to hang out. Love y'all.
Y'all are the best audio in gaming.

2095
02:22:00.920 --> 02:22:05.559
As a Jeffrey Grub says often because
it's true against shouts out to Tom,

2096
02:22:05.719 --> 02:22:09.760
shouts out to Dan and Nikki were
putting together Dan Doco Dare, and shouts

2097
02:22:09.799 --> 02:22:16.959
out to the secret tunnel. I
guess secret tunnel was wedding. Everyone's like,

2098
02:22:16.000 --> 02:22:18.680
this tunnel kind of stinks, and
then it started raining, and guess

2099
02:22:18.719 --> 02:22:22.879
what everyone was doing using my secret
tunnel? The todamn right. The tunnel

2100
02:22:24.159 --> 02:22:30.159
was huge, okay, but getting
there was rough because getting to like if

2101
02:22:30.239 --> 02:22:33.079
you went to the convention center,
you didn't want the chunnel. The chunnel,

2102
02:22:33.959 --> 02:22:37.600
but it was better in the rain, it was still better. Oh,

2103
02:22:37.680 --> 02:22:39.680
I was you know him a pro
chunnel guy. Yes, you never

2104
02:22:39.760 --> 02:22:45.000
spoke ill of the channel, and
I appreciate that. Only Dan did mine?

2105
02:22:45.079 --> 02:22:52.239
Was it? I think I think
Lucy was underwhelmed. She basically apologized

2106
02:22:52.239 --> 02:22:56.079
to me basically as good as she
bas was like begging me to use the

2107
02:22:56.120 --> 02:23:03.280
chunnel and I had to come around
and say to me please. Yeah.

2108
02:23:03.799 --> 02:23:13.920
Like, folks, that is about
it for the Giant BombCast. I've been

water, Go stretch. Have you
made your life a little bit more whimsical?

2112
02:23:24.840 --> 02:23:28.799
Go skip it a forest and if
there's no forest near you, go

2113
02:23:28.959 --> 02:23:33.719
look on Google Maps. It's something
green. The CD I USB controller and

yeah, go buy a CDI controller. I don't know. Go go drink
