00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:32.079
Hey everybody, it's Tuesday, October
seventeenth, twenty twenty three. Welcome to

2
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:36.920
the Giant BombCast, Episode eight hundred
and eleven, powered by NZXT. That's

3
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.200
right, the Goggler is still broke
and I'm scared to touch any button on

4
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.399
it, so we're just gonna We're
gonna treat it gently. I'm a gentleman,

5
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.439
so I'll be gentle except while I'm
yelling during this intro. My name

6
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:52.079
is Jana Choa, joining me as
always co captain of the ship Jeff crub.

7
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.399
If I break up during this podcast, it's because, Uh, Skull

8
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.600
Island, Rise of Kong just unlocked
on Steam. I'm downloading. I don't

9
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.159
care, it's worth it. Here
we go. That's right, that's right.

10
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:10.680
Uh, it's Peter Jackson's own calling
Skull Island jack Back on his game

11
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.920
tip. Here we go, everybody
that's is this a Pjack joint? No?

12
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.159
No, maybe I don't think so. Uh, Officionado and number one

13
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.400
P Jack fan Jeff Backlar is also
here. Well that's not true, but

14
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.680
I am here. How's it going, Jack, don't I don't think so.

15
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.400
I think like get Back was very
hard to follow, and it was

16
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.400
just like, I'm gonna let this
documentary footage just go without really editing it

17
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.120
for a very long time. I
don't know. I didn't think that was

18
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.760
Yeah, yeah, I don't think
that was like the best. But other

19
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.879
than that, you know, I
don't know. I don't give a shit

20
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.560
about Lord of the Rings either,
so and I hate him. Finally,

21
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.319
to break the tie, and whether
or not this website likes Lord of the

22
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.400
Rings, hates Lord of the Rings, or continues to be ambivalent about Lord

23
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.159
of the Rings, Bailey Bars is
out there. Hello, Do I now

24
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.960
need to give my opinion about Lord
of the Rings. Yes, I think

25
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.199
we're kind of split dead. Either
they were there. I saw the movies

26
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.319
when they came out in theaters.
I only saw them once, but I

27
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:24.680
had an Airgorn poster in my room. I enjoyed Rings of Power his first

28
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:29.599
season, but I did guess who
the bad guy was from the second he

29
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.039
appeared on screen, and I felt
very proud of myself. And then the

30
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.879
last time I interacted with Lord of
the Rings was playing the Gollum game.

31
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.960
So Lord of the Rings can suck
my butt. Okay, all right,

32
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.159
I think it's the appropriate position,
and I full hardly agreed with everything she

33
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:50.319
just said. I should I watch
Rings of Power? Should I watch Rings

34
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.000
of Power? The first season was
good, but then they were talking about

35
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.840
how they were going to do it
without writers during the strike, and I

36
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.919
was like, Oh, that's Jeff
Bezos can write it. He'll go in.

37
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.120
He knows what to do. Uh
Bailey. I I called upon your

38
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.039
expertise to grace us with your presence
on this podcast for one reason and one

39
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.840
reason alone, other than you know, we always need a fourth person,

40
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.919
and this is you're not busy week. Uh. I know you don't have

41
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:21.680
another fourth person available exactly value not
a person as Jesus Christ is why we

42
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.520
keep her around, Just a little
jabs everywhere you need someone to get a

43
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.599
little stamp. We got. Someone
said it's about time someone took Minati down

44
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.159
a peg or two. Let me
tell you back. Are you watch it?

45
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.639
She'll stab you too, Bill or
anything you want to know about.

46
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.000
You don't need anyone else for that, That's right true. The Goosebumps TV

47
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.400
show. Have you seen it?
What do you think of it? Oh?

48
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:49.120
My god, I haven't seen it, but I do have this whoa

49
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:55.599
Oh cool? It's the puppet word
Ventroquist. What do they called dummy?

50
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.439
It's a dummy mask that she's holding
for audio ers. Thing a lot of

51
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.120
people don't realize about Slappy is that
the first book he appears and he isn't

52
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:08.000
even the bad guy. It's a
totally different, separate dummy. So and

53
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:12.439
then Slappy shows up later and it's
unrelated this. So Slappy's just like they're

54
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.480
like observing the stories the uh what's
his position in that book? I am

55
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.399
pretty sure that. I mean,
like later he becomes sort of a like

56
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:27.000
spooky like Annabelle of the Goosebumps universe, like conduit to evil, et cetera,

57
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.360
et cetera. But in the first
book, he's just a second dummy

58
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:36.040
that that one of the characters buys
because the main characters, annoying sibling found

59
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.439
a different dummy in the garbage and
they were like, I want a dummy

60
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:45.839
too. I was always too spooked
as as a kid to read any of

61
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.959
the Goosebumps books because I was a
little scaredy cat. And I've been on

62
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.079
a book. Now, you're so
brave. I pretend to be. It's

63
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.680
all it's all, it's all work. And also if I pile myself with

64
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.720
other people that are more scared of
the ghosting game than I am. It'll

65
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.920
make me look brave by association.
Oh yeah, I was very brave.

66
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:09.600
I don't know what you're talking about. And I've been on a big tip

67
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.160
of rereading old books that I missed
as a child, Hence the animals books.

68
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.600
Guys, I'm ten books in.
Really I feel like I should eventually

69
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:25.759
record something. But let me tell
you, these books are are legit insane.

70
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.639
Yeah, go places like a good
insane where it's like, huh,

71
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.040
maybe everyone should read this book and
realize it's more than just these weird covers

72
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.800
about kids turning into animals. It's
a lot of fucked up shit, especially

73
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.800
kids. Oh yeah, yeah,
I know. It's crazy. They go

74
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.680
places there are people who become trapped
as animals forever. There's all kinds of

75
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.360
stuff that goes on, and those
things I like goosebumps where things are normal

76
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:00.360
and people's dads just turn into plants
or whatever. Okay, lots of garbage

77
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.040
dummies. Hold on, Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold

78
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:10.040
on. Animals. Min Max is
trying trying to promote an animals podcast.

79
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.879
What Wow, Wow, what stolen
valor Wow. What Ben Hanson. Ben

80
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:23.199
Hanson, you polite man, You

81
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.839

time. Sarah, Watch out, Leo,

Let's get out, Let's get out
ahead of this. I'm recording it now

85
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.800
for age games. Guys in book
one, let me tell you the main

86
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.079
kid. Uh. We don't need
to talk about animals right now. Goosebumps.

87
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:55.639
Uh, scary books, scary games. It's Halloween season. How is

88
00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.040
everyone else doing good? I'm sensed
right now. I know I can see

89
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.199
that you'll be fine. I think
I've got a fun project that I'm trying

90
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:10.959
to put together for Halloween and the
Halloween spirit in the Spooky season. I

91
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.000
recovered an old CRT television from my
parents' house a couple of months ago.

92
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.680
It was a black and white,
like little, maybe at best thirteen inch

93
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:25.240
CRT with like a bunch of like
sesame street stickers riddled all over it.

94
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:30.199
Like literally could not build a more
time appropriate prop. And I want to

95
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:36.680
get like I want to broadcast on
Halloween. I want to put like beetlejuice

96
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.759
on it and like put it outside
as like set dressing for Halloween. I'm

97
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.079
trying to like figure it all out
in that like a VCR. You're gonna

98
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.759
look up to it or no,
I'm gonna. I think what I'm gonna

99
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:55.079
do is I think I'm gonna get
like a UHF to coax adapter, okay,

100
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.680
and then do like an HDMI to
coaxs a thing out of a laptop.

101
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.839
You what you should do? Tell
me because I'm about to make purchases.

102
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.759
Well, this is the insane thing
that you should do. You should

103
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.319
say your own pirate like TV,
like old style television thing. Oh,

104
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.000
I mean those things, those are
definitely parts of the spectrum. They are

105
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.920
being used by like more important things. Right now, just do a small

106
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.000
little but it's gonna look like ship
anyway. Like I don't is that.

107
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.720
It's not about looking about like shit. This is just like it would be

108
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.199
fun to run a pirate t wireless
thing, I guess. So how do

109
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.639
I do that? How do I
broadcast like a micro like okay, chat

110
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.679
and callers and listeners and everyone else
who hears this message? Yeah? Right?

111
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.679
How do I make a small pirate
radio broadcast with like the range of

112
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.000
o, say ten feet. Well, you know, because like back in

113
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.440
the early days of the iPod,
I had like the radio broadcast thing you

114
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.440
would plug into the right back on
that and then we could tune into it

115
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.759
on your radio in the car because
it didn't have the ports or whatever.

116
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.279
So I wonder if there's like some
similar things you can do for video.

117
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:07.720
Yes, I promise there is,
will it? The question is, yeah,

118
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.240
I'll just do that. Question is
would that be more expensive than the

119
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.440
current solutions? Certainly? Yes.
Yeah. So you know, I'm not

120
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.320
trying to like really make this up
just budget. What are you talking about?

121
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.639
Budget for Giant bomb? That is
true. Well Bailey helped us do

122
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.600
that today, so yeah, maybe
put that money towards some good use.

123
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.000
Bailey's right, So yeah, I'm
doing I think it's a cool little trick.

124
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.159
I want to do that. That'll
be a nice little spooky thing.

125
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:45.720
Have it play on repeat. That'll
be fun. Like realistic static, realistic

126
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:50.919
tracking issues because they're actually there because
it keeping happening, which is dope.

127
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.360
So I'm excited. Grub How's how's
how's everything? Do you do? You

128
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.320
want to share a cinnabon perhaps because
I just got a coupon for one.

129
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.519
I definitely I've had cinnamon in a
while. I would I would go for

130
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.120
that absolutely. I'm a big fan
of cinnamon rolls. That's uh. You

131
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.399
know. We went to get our
pumpkins over the weekend, and then we

132
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.039
stopped at the farm right next door
because they put farms right next to each

133
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.879
other, and this is the one
that has the apple cider donuts and apple

134
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.799
cider, and I got some of
that, and that is that's good eating

135
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.879
apple cider donuts. I always like, it's never like the first thing that

136
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.080
pops in my mind when I think
of a donut, but I think they're

137
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.919
the ones I'm the most happy with
when I'm eating them, Like, this

138
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.240
is a satisfying donut. I like
fall stuff, like fall outdoorsy stuff of

139
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.120
like, oh, the kids want
to go get pumpkins. I'm like,

140
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.320
oh, that's a good excuse to
go out and just put on a scarf

141
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.360
and be outside. So, yeah, scarf. You know you're not wearing

142
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.799
a scarf? Can I still assume
it, like the idea of it,

143
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.720
You'll never wear a scarf, Jeff
Grub, You simply don't require it,

144
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.960
Okay, I'm gonna say the Jeff
Grub will probably wear this is the big

145
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.039
Lebowski cardigan that he's wearing. Right, Yeah, he'll donn a scarf on

146
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.440
for the season. But this man
will still be wearing shorts. Oh yeah,

147
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.559
oh yeah. Literally all right,
now, look at that time,

148
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.799
eat yeah, look at that.
That's right, Look at that sweet time.

149
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.919
That's how I drove the kids at
school this morning. Still shorts,

150
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.799
the best, the best weathers now, Okay, suck it up, suck

151
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.440
it in, let it wash over
you. Weather is at a barback?

152
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.600
Are you almost at a bar?
I know, look, just twenty years

153
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.159
ago, I would have finished,
but I can't now because my brain's broken

154
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.639
and I'm bad. Everybody Backler's too
old to finish, too old? Can

155
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.519
you? Can you imagine? Can
you imagine you had you had ended it

156
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.919
with oh, let me begin,
and then just you know, we ended

157
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.440
with swag, right, Yeah?
You know? Now I know better for

158
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.799
next time, which will never happen
because I'm simply not cool enough. But

159
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.080
I'm very excited. I just don't
know if I can get on board with

160
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.360
you grow up with the shorts.
I uh, I think shorts in a

161
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.600
hoodie like I think I was more
like joggers and hoodie situation. The short.

162
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.120
Yeah, I mean, I'm also
doing that, but there are sending

163
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.919
the messages that I'm just not ready
to send my Yeah, that's okay.

164
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.639
I'm not proud of it. I'm
not proud of it. Like this is

165
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.879
not I'm not going out there and
saying this is how people should live their

166
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.639
lives. That's true. I think
you should be saying that. I think

167
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.039
we should promote more mobility for people, and pants are just too restrictive.

168
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.840
You gotta get that knee meat out
there. If we're in not punching down

169
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.200
era, you gotta keep you got
to be mobile, you got to be

170
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.480
able to move fast. You want
that fie meat out there for aerodynamics.

171
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.600
It's just like when I see like
a dad rock in the hoodie and shorts,

172
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.279
like especially at the ice rink at
like seven all the time. I'm

173
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.799
just like one, dude, it's
okay, it's okay. I know for

174
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.600
a fact, you are very very
cold right now. There's no actually not

175
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.120
cold. Well, I guess I
guess certain people hit a point in their

176
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.360
lives where like blood simply does not
flow below the waist anymore. Therefore you

177
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.399
know. But yeah, that point
was two hundred and fifty pounds. Yeah,

178
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.360
absolutely, yeah, isn't it.
Yeah, it's like fat bear week

179
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.320
or something. I keep hearing this. I actually do think about doing the

180
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.039
polar bear swimming stuff. Oh see, I considered Lake Erie's right there.

181
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.759
I drop my kids off and then
there's like this hour period where I could

182
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.039
either sleep or I could go jump
into a body of very cold water,

183
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.000
and I'm like, what do I
do? And guess what I always choose

184
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.679
go back to get in bed for
a little bit. So that's not what

185
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.840
I would guessed. Yeah, if
I surprising comanded the hoodie in the shorts

186
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.519
hibernation, I think I will.
I will try it. This is this

187
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.519
is the one good thing about being
on like podcasts and stuff is if I

188
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.600
like make a declaration, people like
hold you to it, and then it's

189
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.639
like, oh, it's content now. So by the way, jeah and

190
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.879
so yeah, I might. I
might commit to that and jump into the

191
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.480
Lake Erie before like BombCast next week
or something like that. We'll see,

192
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.600
okay, right before the so so
so I say, it's it's kind of

193
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.639
it's approaching beanie season up here in
the Bay right, appropriate beanie season.

194
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.840
So I've been donning the beanie back
again, and everyone I run into' is

195
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.000
like, oh, you look normal
now, and I think it's because I

196
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:09.559
think it's because they can't see my
shaved ass head. Yeah. Anyway,

197
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.080
I got used to it so fair
like that by the end of that night,

198
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.799
this just looks like jan I,
as soon as you told me you

199
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.360
were going to do it if you
didn't finish the game on time, I

200
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.879
became used to it. I was
like, all right, it's happening.

201
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.200
I accepted it in my heart.
I never believed in you for even a

202
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.240
second, so it gave me a
lot of time beat it. I didn't

203
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.720
do it, though, Bailey,
I did do it, But like,

204
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.919
then, then, what was even
the point, Chan? I think if

205
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.279
it look like I can identify right
as someone who like covers their head more

206
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.679
than not right, I think it's
like your default position, you know,

207
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.559
that's like your avatar. That's what
people expect you to look like, you

208
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.240
know, normal, like as you
spawn. So that's okay. Uh,

209
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.039
you owned it and you you look
great. Bailey. A quick question for

210
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.240
you. This isn't the my chat
question because this is just we're in the

211
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:07.759
day wild to do my check?
Now, everyone, how do I kill

212
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:16.480
six hours around Lax before a wrestling
event? Is there a good coffee around

213
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:26.360
there? There is not much around
Lax, Like do you mean in the

214
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.320
airport or like it's a pretty cool
crime? Okay, oh yeah, I

215
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:37.679
mean it's it's mostly just budget an
hour to get wherever your destination is,

216
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.519
obviously, but I would say you
want to find if you want to kill

217
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.120
time, you want to do it
closer to your event than to that.

218
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.039
Okay, is there like a I
was gonna say a car rental thing like

219
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.279
uber, like you do one of
those get a car and just go driving

220
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.720
around? But that's la You don't
want to do that. Can you rint

221
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:02.120
like a dirt bike or something and
go like ing up the pier? Is

222
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:06.159
there a la peer? I don't
know. You are romanticizing my ability to

223
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.440
ride a motorcycle? And should you
be the kid from the Determinator too?

224
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.639
And stuff? That's what I want. My big secret is I don't fly

225
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.399
out of Lax because unless I desperately
have to, because I find it miserable.

226
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.720
I do Burbank every time. Yeah, yeah, he's not great,

227
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:27.039
but it's airport's pretty good. Yeah, Carr car Well Restaurant. Yeah,

228
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.879
Burbank's the one that was like very
excited when I realized how much better that

229
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.960
was to fly in and out of. Yeah, it's it feels like someone's

230
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.440
living room when you're in there,
it's very like, Yeah, it's just

231
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.879
like I'm not an airport. I'm
just your friend's house that has planes outside.

232
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.000
And you're like, all right,
this is a long out. I

233
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.159
have a guy Fair restaurant in it. That's awesome. Look at one of

234
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.240
those little ladder or one of those
little staircases that's a car. I like

235
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:53.480
that. Like that you actually get
to do that in the Burbank one,

236
00:16:53.639 --> 00:17:00.480
and like walk across the tarmac.
Yeah wait, Bob Hope and the John

237
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.079
Wayne Right, John Wayne is Santa
Anna. Okay, never mind. Anyway,

238
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.319
I was saying all this to lead
up that Lax occasionally feels like a

239
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:21.759
dystopian society, just like cyberpunk is
whoa you say dystopia? I say utopia?

240
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.480
Really want to I just wanted to
yes end a little bit there.

241
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.359
I don't know if disagreeing is yes
ending, but I, like you,

242
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.480
I think it is. It absolutely
is. It's a form of it look

243
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:38.359
at it's closer than just saying no. Yeah. I didn't stop the conversation.

244
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.160
I kept going. I kept it
going with something impossible. I'm proud

245
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.599
of Beler. We're only in our
Yes era, a utopia. I played

246
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:53.039
so much Cyberpunk, and I think
everything that happens in that game is good

247
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:59.319
for society. Well now that's half
the show in agreement. Uh yeah,

248
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.960
we're in our Yes and punching down
era, So that's right. I think

249
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.960
Grimes should be named Lizzie Wizzy,
and that's how it's a utopia for me.

250
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.720
Everything else whatever, but that's my
political stances. Grimes's name should be

251
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:17.279
Lizzie Wizzy. Bailey, you've been
playing Cyberpunk. I've also been playing Cyberpunk,

252
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.119
and I've been having a hell of
a time. Are you starting fresh

253
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.559
or are you going straight into Phantom
Liberty? I when I here's the thing,

254
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.079
the honest game trailer for it is
coming out in twenty three minutes,

255
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.880
so I have at this point reached
the credits on Phantom Liberty, although there's

256
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.240
more to it than that. I
started it when it came out three years

257
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.960
ago because I thought it looked cool. Plus my real human roommate. Her

258
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.880
face is on one of the billboards
in there, and I wanted to find

259
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.799
her, so that was my goal
when it came out three years ago,

260
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.440
and I found her, and then
I was like, this is not a

261
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.119
very fun game. And then I
uninstalled the game, and so I was

262
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.480
starting it fresh with this and I
I was really devoted to spending my every

263
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.680
waking minute playing it, and I
was having a great time. And then

264
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.680
I went into the hospital for an
eye injury, and then I came back

265
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.720
and then I played more. Uh, and it interrupted my timeline on it.

266
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.759
But anyway, great, I'm so
good. I stared at something too

267
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:18.880
hard and got an eye injury.
Anyway, I've been playing a lot of

268
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:27.839
Cyberpunk. Well that seems good.
Really everything, Okay, I'm so good.

269
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:32.880
The hospital is really nice, you
guys. We have great insurance.

270
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:41.000
So my experience with Cyberpunk is the
hospital is really nice. Bailey, can

271
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:47.920
you take your your plugs off just
real quick? We should for real,

272
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.480
yeah, go ahead. We should
get her the cheesiest gunner optic glasses.

273
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:56.720
Yeah, I have them. I
think I have them somewhere. Okay,

274
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.319
cool, we should we should get
her pro game gases. Because I feel

275
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.319
like this isn't the first time I've
heard of this happening. Okay, cool,

276
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.200
Okay. I'm also a proponent of
talk. I'm such a proponent now

277
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:12.240
of telling someone that's live on the
show to take their earphones off and talking

278
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.720
mad shit in the chat when I
can put it on because I'm trying to

279
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.720
read lips and it's not working.
Okay, put it back on. Okay,

280
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.680
Okay, there you go. All
right. So that sounds like sounds

281
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:29.839
like very painful injury. But Cyberpunk's
a very fun game. What's making a

282
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:34.720
fun this time around for you?
They it doesn't have any game well,

283
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.119
it doesn't have game breaking bugs.
It still has bugs. There was that

284
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.079
was that was getting the way for
you last time. We're like this is

285
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.359
this isn't worth it because it was
breaking so often. It was breaking so

286
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.440
often, it was borderline unplayable,
and there were just mechanical things that hadn't

287
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:53.400
been optimized for like human enjoyment at
that point. But in this one,

288
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:59.559
you can load load yourself up with
so much enhancements and you can just like

289
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.039
ill a bunch of stuff and feel
like such a bad ass. The only

290
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.039
anytime I do a bug. My
wad into a bug. I only do

291
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:10.079
it on stream. Apparently. When
I was doing it by myself, I

292
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:11.839
was having the easiest fucking time getting
through the game. But when I was

293
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:17.880
streaming it, I accidentally got into
a motorcycle accident because I was like,

294
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:19.039
I don't need a helmet, and
then I got hit by a car and

295
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.759
flew off the car, and then
the police officer who hit me got really

296
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:27.000
mad and started shooting, and then
every cop in the area was chasing me

297
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.519
around this like memorial and I was
like, I don't know if this is

298
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.240
how this part's supposed to go.
But it was a lot of fun.

299
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.440
So even though it was a bug, I wouldn't even consider it like a

300
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.599
negative because I had a blast being
like, I don't know why this is

301
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.039
happening. It was great. It
was so much fun. The story was

302
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.559
good. I right now cannot,
for the life of me tell you whether

303
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.880
or not Itdri's Elbow was trying to
do an American accent. I think no.

304
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.839
Hard to say. It's so confusing
because then, like the ad that

305
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.440
came out when Fan and Liberty came
out, he's just Idris Elba. He's

306
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.559
not even he's like more British in
the ad than he is in the game.

307
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.079
Yeah. But I was like,
when I was putting together script,

308
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.920
there's a whole section in the script, I'm like, can someone tell me

309
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.359
the answer to this? Because I
was watching so much footage from the game,

310
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.039
and then so much footage of him
in interviews, and then like footage

311
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.200
from the wire, and I'm like, there's a whole spectrum of what's happening

312
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.440
here. I think the American accent
exists on the spectrum. I think that's

313
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.279
what that's That's the truth is like
he's saying key it in that well,

314
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:33.000
so that's it's kind of fun.
His best American accent is him as Knuckles.

315
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.599
Oh yeah, and Knuckles famously American. He's from Pittsburgh actually, so

316
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:45.240
yeah. Yeah, the hands on
that guy that track the vie, that

317
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:51.880
dude watches football so much. Oh
definitely defends Ben Roethlisberger in a really problematic

318
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:59.960
way. Yeah, that's right.
That's right, Knuckles is your problematic friend.

319
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.319
I also been really enjoying Cyberpunk.
I thought I kind of bounced off

320
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.119
of it because like it's another big, big, ish, open world and

321
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.400
I kind of wanted to just fire
a Phantom Liberty because everyone was so high

322
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:17.839
on Cyberpunk and I mostly just wanted
to see like a homie that is a

323
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:19.559
character in the game. I was
like, I just want to just want

324
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.400
to see Susie and then we'll just
get out of this game and then start

325
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.559
to continue playing the game. I'm
like, Wow, it really is viable

326
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:33.519
in this game for me to just
punch everyone in the face. And I

327
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.519
don't know, it's it's just very
I don't mean to continually compare it to

328
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:42.920
Starfield or anything, but like in
in a world where where Starfield has promoted

329
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.119
so much autonomy over the player to
do and play as you like, it

330
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.359
hasn't necessarily delivered on those aspects.
For me, at least, I know

331
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.960
the people have enjoyed their time with
the game and have beat it multiple times.

332
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.440
I'm very curious. It's what why
people need to beat it multiple times.

333
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.519
But if you can get through the
initial slog of the intro of Cyberpunk,

334
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:11.480
because I do admit it is very, very slow, and you're saying

335
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.799
they haven't done anything in like,
well, I don't know, I mean

336
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.160
to get back to this right because
this, like Phantom Liberty is like Scott,

337
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.440
you bring a Phantom Liberty, You're
not going to have that problem.

338
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.279
It's my understanding. No, I'm
going to restart the game. You're gonna

339
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.279
Yeah, you could restart and you
can jump right into Fantom Liberty. But

340
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.519
you can, so you can,
but you have to do a bunch of

341
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:34.400
like main main quests before you can. They need a little before you get

342
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.759
there. But it doesn't take you
that long. I mean, I again

343
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.079
was out with an injury for two
straight days and I still manage to get

344
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.000
there and get through a significant portion
of Fantom Liberty in time to write a

345
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.160
script about it. I can do
it anyway, and I can do it

346
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.559
anyone can. No, I know
you wrote that script then, just so

347
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:57.279
you know everyone, I have no
jokes in this video. But also I

348
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.480
want to try to contribute though yeah, yeah, I just kept saying access

349
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:03.240
denied. I don't know what that's
about anyway, all I could all I

350
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.079
could ask you, all right,
Like what I need to know is I've

351
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:10.680
heard a lot of stuff about the
fact that like, oh, the quality

352
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.319
of life, you know, sort
of changes are like noticeable out of the

353
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.400
gate. Am I going to notice
a thing? It has been two years

354
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.920
since I played this game, But
like, am I going to notice that

355
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.960
tangibly? If I just re respect
the whole thing and like start all over,

356
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.799
you think it's I'm going to be
right away, not in the first

357
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.880
couple hours, but not even like
a little little style. But I don't

358
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.640
think that they didn't change that that
much. The beginning is the beginning of

359
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.799
the game. That is what that
is. If you're doing that again,

360
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.079
then then it's going to be pretty
similar to your experience last time. It's

361
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:38.720
just been too long since I played. I have to restart it. The

362
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:45.559
AI is just the AI is better, the fighting is more satisfying. I

363
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.680
don't really I can't put into technical
terms what it is they have done,

364
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:53.000
but they have taken a game that
was at best kind of boring before and

365
00:25:53.079 --> 00:26:00.160
turned it into a legitimately fun gameplay
experience that like works and again. And

366
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.319
I'm also going back to back with
this with Starfield, so like the comparison

367
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.079
was just brutal. Honestly, I
immediately uninstalled Starfield, like, oh,

368
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.559
I'm never playing this again. I've
got a new favorite game, and this

369
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.319
was never even one of my favorite
games. It's it's just it's a game

370
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:22.480
that runs well, is very compelling
and had and it's just a great time.

371
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.440
Like I honestly would recommend it to
anyone who likes a single player RBG.

372
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.319
Yeah. Also think it's it feels
like the proper fallow up to,

373
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:33.559
like that Fallout era of stuff at
least Phantom Liberty. Yes, it runs

374
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.599
great on the Steam Deck. By
the way, it has Steam Deck specific

375
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.559
settings if you just want to plug
away. I wish and this is a

376
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:45.960
selfish desire here, and this is
just me wanting to live out my Mega

377
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.200
Man Battle Network dreams. I wish
the Steam deck had like an Ethernet cord

378
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.720
that was that like retracted back into
it that you could just pull out.

379
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.680
Sure, jam is so good.
Yeah, like an actual like an actual

380
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.279
like cyberpunk deck, Like makes a
lot of sense. Forget all this like

381
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.880
magnet charging, touch play charging crap. I just want to be able to

382
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.319
jack in everywhere, all right,
don't want to be able to do what

383
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:14.759
everywhere? You heard him? He
wants to jack in everywhere and jack off

384
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.720
while he's done. Okay, I'm
not gonna and that I'm gonna punch that

385
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.440
joke down. Cannot be disparaged.
Also, hey, hey, hey,

386
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.640
hey, hey, hey, Cyberpuck, you're listening. Can we be in

387
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:29.799
the game? Can you put me
in? Talking to everybody else? Game?

388
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.119
Hello, you're trying to talk to
a video game. I'm trying to

389
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:37.359
talk to the game and listening right
now. Andy Cortes does this all the

390
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.079
time. You know, U uses
the play cortest is in that game.

391
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:42.599
They made him look like a dildo
down and they put him everywhere. So

392
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:49.119
put your boy in. I'll cut
that. No, I'm not going to

393
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:53.599
cut the check. I don't don't
come on, I don't have what else

394
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.839
do you want? You be putting
the game? They have to pay you,

395
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.519
they have to come and check to
you. That's why I stopped saying

396
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.680
the catch. You know. That's
that's what we're doing. I don't necessarily

397
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:04.279
need to be in Cyberpunk. What
I do need is for this thing that

398
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.799
I just got in Cyberpunk to be
put in me in real life. Because

399
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.640
I just install that thing that make
me do a double jump, and I'm

400
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.640
like, can we get my legs
and my real human legs? That would

401
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:18.359
be so sick. So I would
use it all the time. You know

402
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.039
what, though, I'm with you
Bailey, but also not because I feel

403
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.240
like I can't jump that high as
it is, what can I jump like

404
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:32.640
four feet? Like what are we
doing? It's impressive double when your first

405
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:34.279
jump is twenty four inches, then
it's like, well ship, now I

406
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.759
got four feet I'm working with.
But like, I can't jump that high,

407
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.759
not a big vertical leap. I
don't know. Maybe I haven't.

408
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.039
I'm not going to make I'm not
going to make sure that if I could

409
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.039
get up there, I would the
crashing down, like the double jump legs

410
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.000
would not support my ankles enough to
keep me totally. You got to think

411
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.319
about the rest of the world being
able to support it as well, right,

412
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.799
exactly, right, coming down,
Oh forget, the world's not built

413
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.359
for double jumping. You know,
I don't think the world yield for jumping.

414
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:08.079
You're not supposed to jump around the
world like the Yeah, yes,

415
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:12.960
exactly. That was the that was
the political plight that the song Jump Around

416
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:15.599
was about. It's like they wanted
to do that, the world didn't support

417
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.519
them. It's a terrible thing.
Yeah, that's why pulgo sticks never took

418
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:23.400
off, those moon shoes never took
off. That's why they key bounce houses

419
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:27.200
as houses and not bounce towns.
Can you imagine a whole town wherever just

420
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:33.720
bouncing around. That's why Slamball got
taken off the air, because Big Gravity

421
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:40.160
didn't want it around. Kick it
around. We need there's the thing that

422
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.440
we have to deal with. Fuck
you, John Mayer, you heard me.

423
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.960
We need to bring back so.
No, it's not his best song.

424
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:51.279
What is? No. I don't
want to talk about John May.

425
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.680
I know, but then I did. I'm not gonna guess and it I'm

426
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.440
gonna instead ask Backlar and Jeff Grubb
about their I'm in Modern Warfare three and

427
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:03.519
if their body was a wonderland while
they were playing it, well, that

428
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.480
goes out sane. Of course,
of course it was, Beckler. I

429
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.519
played a little bit of this maybe
like an hour and a half, and

430
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.079
it's cool to be back in those
maps from Bottle Warfare two, from forever

431
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.440
ago. That's neat. I don't
know. I don't know if I'm still

432
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.599
I don't know if I'm still like
call of Duty enough again to it.

433
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:26.200
Skill issue comes into play, is
what it sounds like. It's the skill

434
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:29.440
of enjoying call of duty is pretty
low these days for me. I agree,

435
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.359
I think I was having an okay
time. But I used to play

436
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.759
Call of Duty so much. I'd
like the modern Warfare two these maps come

437
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:40.400
from. I'd played that game for
easily more than fifteen hundred hours. I

438
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:44.279
think maybe I just got my fill
and going back like there is no going

439
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:45.559
home. But I don't know,
how are you finding it? You are

440
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:48.480
still enjoying Call of Duty a lot
these days? Well, no, that's

441
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.839
not true. I just go back
to it when it comes out, like

442
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.759
I have not played the most recent
Call Duty in that is not well today

443
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:02.960
it was that's not true. You're
a liar, Jeff grubbing. Fuck yeah,

444
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:07.200
but I continue talking. I wasn't
like back to you grub like like

445
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:10.759
that, come on, do we
need like listen, here's what's happening.

446
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.480
Mar I get excited when the new
ones come out and the demo just now,

447
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.720
the beta whatever it is, it
got me back excited, like I

448
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.960
think there. I think there is
something going on with maybe a bit of

449
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.519
how it's streamlined again. Now,
this is what happened the first time with

450
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:32.039
my with the beta uh in the
in last year's game, where I was

451
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.720
like really one over with stuff and
then you get into the real thing and

452
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:40.400
you're like, oh my god,
this interface is like completely mishmosh. It's

453
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:42.440
it. You can't digest it.
It does not have any sort of visual

454
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:47.279
vocabulary that makes any kind of sense. I don't know if I'm like loading

455
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.319
up a multiple it's very difficult to
navigate through all that. The beta was

456
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:53.519
like I'm downloading all of Call of
Duty. I'm like, wait, I

457
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:56.119
thought I was just getting the beta. It's like, no, the beta

458
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.240
is inside here. That's kind of
confusing. Sorry, I'm doing this because

459
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.319
it's like a Call of Duty,
Like it's almost like a launcher right like

460
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.240
car Yeah, yeah, and like
you have to like inject Call Duty monol

461
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.359
Warfare three inside of the I don't
want to go down that announce. I

462
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:15.799
want to yeah, okay, you
said it, not me. And that's

463
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:21.519
frustrating in its own right. But
when it comes to like the moment to

464
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:27.039
moment in play, I did find
myself like really enjoying that. I think

465
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:31.400
what happens with these games is it's
tough to like figure out if I'm gonna

466
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.279
get into that loop and the satisfying
loop, where like I'm into the weapon

467
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.440
level progression, I'm into the player
progression. I'm into all that leveling up

468
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:42.759
stuff. I don't think you can
sniff that out in a fair way based

469
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.920
off the beta, right, Yeah, so at least not sense like the

470
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.799
original beta for Cality four, where
it's like, Okay, clearly this stuff

471
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.319
is working because everyone in the world
was going gaga for it. Now it's

472
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.799
like, is this a new variation
on that that's going to click with me?

473
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.960
It's impossible to tell in the beta. I agree. So I played

474
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.279
maybe ten matches, and you know, I was like, yeah, I'm

475
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.720
feeling it. You know, some
of the idiot freak friends played and they

476
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:15.319
seem to enjoy it. So I
have a very unique set of prerequisites of

477
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:19.359
requirements that need to be checked for
this type of game. It's unique to

478
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:24.319
me and my stupid asshole friends.
So it has to like, you know,

479
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:30.039
groove with us for those reasons.
So that's how I kind of like

480
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.559
Seek All Duty. I graded very
selfishly. I don't think I'm two different

481
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.759
over world because like the moment,
the moment, like shooting a person in

482
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.640
Call of Duty is fun. They
yeah, they make it feel very like

483
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.720
it pops, you know, when
it hits them. Obviously, the x.

484
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.160
You know those are the shot mark
pops up on the screen, and

485
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:50.200
the sound effect is so good.
The sound design is still top tier and

486
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:53.759
all that stuff is working. I'm
just like, maybe part of it is

487
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:57.039
like, I know what's happening here
where they're like that this is a mat

488
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.519
pack. It's a glorified mat pack
that they put into Modern for two and

489
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:02.039
they're calling it Modern War for three
and they're selling again for seventy dollars.

490
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:06.720
But I guess when I'm actually playing
it, I'm mostly having a good time.

491
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.000
I just have thought about that the
last last past call of duties,

492
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.119
and I'm I've not stuck with any
of them, and so I'm like,

493
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:15.800
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up
doing the same thing here where I don't

494
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:19.639
actually end up playing this very much. But it's the little things too,

495
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.119
right. I think there's a lot
of stuff that, you know, all

496
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.639
the best things that happen, you
know, when they all fire off in

497
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:30.360
the in rhythm and all the stars
line up like they're not necessarily it's not

498
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.440
necessarily a very specific characteristic about the
game. It is a lot of little

499
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:38.400
things that all work together that like
move the needle on an evolution of this

500
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:43.159
game. So I haven't seen any
of that yet in a big way.

501
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:47.360
But like you said, I enjoyed
those matches. That game still performs very

502
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:52.360
well, and it's like, yeah, it's just air tight in a lot

503
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:53.840
of ways. So we'll see,
we'll see, how you know, I

504
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:57.679
haven't played a ton of Call of
Duty on PlayStation dual sense ConTroll over for

505
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.559
that pretty good they got they pretty
good, pretty good, better than most

506
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.519
games, I would say, in
terms of getting those haptics to feel like,

507
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:07.239
Hey, I shot something and that
feels like I'm really shooting something.

508
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:13.159
Yes, And it's it's leading credence
to the to the the fun. It's

509
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.480
like making the fun even more visceral
in a way a lot of other games

510
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.639
don't get. They're just like,
hey, we're you're you're walking, so

511
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:21.719
we're going to do footsteps and like, okay, that's not really doing anything

512
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:27.440
for me, but here it really
works. I have a question regarding Modern

513
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.519
Warfare three. Sure will my Nicki
Minaj carryover? Yes, your Nicki Minaj

514
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:35.800
does carry over. It's basically the
same exact game they released last year.

515
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:38.400
They just want seventy dollars again,
Like, hey, we'd like to have

516
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:44.239
your seventy dollars, please just give
them only be impressive. Nicki minaj is

517
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:50.599
backwards compatible. So did they did? They Like they made a decision at

518
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.239
some point where they're just like,
I think we can get away with charging

519
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:58.440
full part. Like they did that, right, they did. The storyline

520
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.199
here was that this was going to
be the year where we didn't get a

521
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:05.400
new, brand new Call Duty on
the shelves, but they were gonna do

522
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.840
an expansion for Modern Warfare two and
it was gonna have Modern Warfare three stuff

523
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.119
in it. It was probably gonna
have these maps. And at some point

524
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.599
they're like, well, we have
the campaign ready to go, maybe we

525
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:16.039
could just like actually finish that up
and put that in a package and sell

526
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:20.519
this for seventy dollars. And that's
what they're doing. So yeah, they

527
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.000
realized they could get away with it, or they think they're gonna get away

528
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.639
with it, and they're probably right. Almost certainly, this is gonna sell

529
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:27.559
the best to do. It's gonna
be the best selling game of the year.

530
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:35.280
So yeah, fantastic, fan fantastic. Another game that I feel maybe

531
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:42.199
a little bit overpriced is Sonic Superstars
because it was news to me in the

532
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.719
mic check earlier that this game is
sixty dollars. You know that game is

533
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:51.440
sixty dollars. It should not be. I've been playing this mostly because I

534
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:53.360
have to, because I said I
would beat it before Super Mario Brothers Wonder

535
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:57.480
came out, and me and the
gimmicks are making progress in it. We've

536
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.880
been playing together, mostly in multiplayer, and I don't I don't like it

537
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:06.800
very much. It's okay when I
recognize what it is. It is just

538
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.440
trying to be a nostalgic throwback with
sort of slightly updated visuals. So it's

539
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.280
it's three D characters on a two
D plane. They did a pretty good

540
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.599
job of capturing the two D magic
and feel of a sonic character with these

541
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:24.000
models. It's not as good as
as having actual pixels, having actual sprites,

542
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:27.800
but it's pretty close and they did
a good job with that. The

543
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:31.480
game itself is definitely just like,
do you remember that thing? We're gonna

544
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:35.639
do that thing again, and we're
not gonna do it better. We're not

545
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:39.360
a lot of many cases. I
guess in many cases it's mostly just as

546
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.960
good, but it's not a lot
of that stuff that they're recapturing wasn't that

547
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:45.519
fun in the first place. And
the example I was using when we played

548
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.599
it this morning on GV plays that
videos should be up for people who want

549
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:53.239
to watch it is the water level
where you know, there's the tubes where

550
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:58.719
you get sucked through the tubes and
you're just going along with the currents and

551
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.880
you're grabbing the and you're trying to
move yourself around and that stuff's okay,

552
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.199
but you have to get oxygen and
there's oxygen bubbles and it's oh, yeah,

553
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.119
I remember that stuff. That stuff
was really memorable. It wasn't super

554
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.679
fun when the Genesis Sonic games did
that. It wasn't terrible either, but

555
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.440
it wasn't super fun, like oh
my god, like every game didn't suddenly

556
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.840
have water levels like that, because
it was like, oh, that's a

557
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:24.079
Sonic thing, and it's not really
anxiety. Let's not terrify children. It

558
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:27.840
is anxiety inducing, and I think
that's what makes it memorable. And they

559
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:31.119
do it here and it's still anxiety
inducing and and it's fine for what it

560
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:36.079
is, a nostalgic throwback, but
they don't do anything on top of it.

561
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.400
They don't do any spin on this
idea. There's nothing special in terms

562
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:43.280
of here we're presenting it in a
new way. It's just that again.

563
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:45.760
And then there's a couple other stages
that do other things that are that are

564
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.760
throwbacks to previous Sonic games, and
they're not as memorable, and they're just

565
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:54.800
it's just kind of all MUSHes together. I And then there's the boss fights

566
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:59.000
where hey, you're supposed to be
using these Sonic power ups, these Emerald

567
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.360
powers that you get. I'm mostly
not getting. The kids are just running

568
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:05.360
past them and we're missing them.
But I got I got one or two

569
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:08.880
of them now, and they are
basically you just selected with the right stick

570
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:13.639
and you it's something like, oh, you have a ton of Sonics running

571
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:15.320
across the screen and if they run
into a boss, it'll hit the boss

572
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:20.320
or something like that. And this
is like, yeah, it's not there's

573
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:22.760
not much to it. There's one
where you can like dash with fire or

574
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.800
whatever, and that's that's pretty cool, but it like sometimes it either trivializes

575
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:30.800
the bosses or or it's completely useless. That's kind of your two options there.

576
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:32.840
And I'm on a boss fight right
now where and these boss fights are

577
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.599
really long and dragged out and they're
not fun, and if you lose,

578
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:39.079
you don't there's no like checkpoints in
the mid boss fights. You gotta go

579
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:42.320
all the way back to the beginning. And this is where I'm getting really

580
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.480
frustrated with the game, where I'm
like, I'm not having a good time

581
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:47.800
and you're kind of punishing me for
just trying to figure out how to get

582
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:52.400
through this thing, or I'm waiting
for the opening to hit the boss.

583
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:54.960
I'm just sitting here, hop around
the stage of winning obstacles until you give

584
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:59.480
me a chance to actually do something
here, and if I mess up one

585
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:00.599
thing, I have to start the
whole thing over. Now. I know

586
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:07.480
skill issue, but other games where
I'm bad at them could be fun,

587
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:09.480
and this one's just not really hitting
that mark. For the most part.

588
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:14.960
I think if this game was priced
a little bit better and you have a

589
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.039
Sonic super fan, they're going to
be mostly okay with this. If you

590
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.960
are someone who's like come to Sonic
in the past and then like there's nothing

591
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.360
here for me, there's definitely nothing
here for you. So I think this

592
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:30.840
highlights my own problem with this style
of two D Sonic game, where it's

593
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:38.880
not quite where it's trying to mimic
the original Sonic formula and not really do

594
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:43.599
much on top of that. So
it is just doing the old stuff.

595
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:49.039
Sure to adds some grind rails or
whatever, but it pains me as growing

596
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.039
up as a Sonic fan, because
in my head, at least now,

597
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:57.280
it feels more fun to jump into
a Mario level and jump around and play

598
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:02.039
around versus a Sonic game lately where
it is just literally just get to point

599
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:07.480
A to point B and remember nothing
about any of the level. Yeah,

600
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:10.800
because like the Sonic Advanced games,
And I'll and I won't shut up about

601
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.360
this ever, because I honestly think
the Sonic Advanced games are some of the

602
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:22.360
more superior two D games close to
Sonic Mania because of how much they play

603
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.559
up the movement abilities to it,
and like there's a rhythm and it feels

604
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.039
good to get through the level versus
just trying to get there as fast as

605
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:35.880
possible and not hit anything. Yeah, And I think that there's opportunities in

606
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:38.400
this game to explore the levels a
little bit, and I'm just I'm so

607
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:42.920
I'm pretty confused by that as well, because it's not easy to explore these

608
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.679
levels. Going back is a challenge, not because it's challenging, it's because

609
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:49.800
the game doesn't really think you're going
to want to do that, so offers

610
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.519
no easy way to accomplish that.
And sometimes you're going to be locked out

611
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:54.960
of going back. The doors will
close, like literally lock behind you,

612
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:58.320
and you won't be able to go
back. So the game's telling you just

613
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:00.840
keep running forward. But then you
see something, I'm like, well,

614
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.119
that's a big shiny gold coin that
I'm want to go jump in, and

615
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:07.239
obviously you're supposed to seek these things
out. That's part of the fun.

616
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:10.480
I just it's not been actually fun
ever. A big part of that is

617
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:15.920
the level designs are not just uninspired, they're really not helpful. I feel

618
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:19.760
lost. I feel like this is
the same thing I I wasn't I just

619
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.119
here. It's like, yeah,
it looks exactly like the thing you were

620
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:24.079
just at, but it is a
different place, and we're not going to

621
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.360
give you any visual indicators to help
you place yourself in this in this world,

622
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:31.320
and the cameras too zoomed in,
so I'm always feeling like kind of

623
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:37.440
lost in these places, and then
me too. And then the music's pretty

624
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:38.800
bad too, which is a shame
because I love Sonic music. So there's

625
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:44.679
some okay tracks, but mostly it's
kind of, once again, not memorable

626
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:47.320
at best and pretty bad at worst. That's unfortunate. That is, that

627
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.239
is very unfortunate. What's also unfortunate
is that you're locked into playing this until

628
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:57.480
you beat it, until you can
eventually check out Super Mario Brothers Wonder,

629
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:00.280
which comes out later this week.
Yep, we'll be playing that on this

630
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:05.239
website in some form later this week, and then there's probably some more stuff

631
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:07.440
next week. But we're interesting that
because we haven't played it yet. Once

632
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:09.039
we get our hands on it,
we're going to look into that. The

633
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:15.199
online like ghost sharing mode of like
hey you can run through Yeah, let's

634
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.719
share ghosts. You can run through
a level, and then apparently does something

635
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:21.559
like okay, now you can send
that to your friend and they can race

636
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:25.360
against you or something like that asynchronous
multiplayer. So I hope that works really

637
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:29.159
well. I hope that is conducive
to some fun stuff here, because if

638
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:31.559
it is, we'll do some fun
stuff with it. Grab one more question

639
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:37.960
about Sonic before we move on to
the games week. No online multiplayer at

640
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.559
all. No, So it's they
do make a big deal about it being

641
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:45.719
a multiplayer game, but it is
couch multiplayer only, local multiplayer only.

642
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:47.760
Now these days, that's a little
bit less of a problem because you do

643
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.599
have stuff like Steam remote play and
PlayStation has that built in as well,

644
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:54.760
a like let's play together. I
think it's what the mode is called,

645
00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:58.800
where you can stream the game just
to a friend and they were playing on

646
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:02.360
your system and could play together.
But that's not ideal. Like even Mike

647
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:06.760
was saying there was some lag for
him, so you could do parsek.

648
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:08.800
That's a bit above what most people
are going to do. So yeah,

649
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:13.159
that's that's a shame. But I
think that's like indicative of what this product

650
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.639
is. It is kind of low
effort they brought in. This is like

651
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:21.320
Sonic Team working with us our Zest, who was the team that did Balance

652
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:22.880
Wonderworld, and they did Yoshi's New
Island and a bunch of other games.

653
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:28.039
They kind of just are a work
for hire studio, I think because they

654
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:30.800
are affordable and they do they do
what you hire them to do. Make

655
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:35.000
a game like that game that looks
like that game from a distance, they

656
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:37.480
will deliver that for you, no
problem. It's just if you want anything.

657
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:39.840
On top of that, they're not
going to bring any of that.

658
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:45.159
They are going to check off the
boxes and that's it. So the multiplayer

659
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:46.920
just being local only, not having
online stuff. That feels like the kind

660
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.719
of thing, Hey, you want
a multiplayer, but we're not going to

661
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.079
do like net code, are you
crazy? So you get that, and

662
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:55.320
you know, as much as they
made a big deal about it, this

663
00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:59.719
is not a great game to play
multiplayer. The camera can't decide who to

664
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:04.639
fall in the middle of, like
doing some platforming or trying to run through

665
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.679
obstacles. You know, I'm running
the Sonic and I'm out ahead, but

666
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.360
Mike's going to decide to go down
over here. Or the kids are are

667
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:13.639
exploring something else on their own and
the cameras like, oh well, I'm

668
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:15.440
gonna see what they're doing real quick. And you don't get your own camera

669
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:21.559
because it's all local multiplayer, right, So that's very frustrating. I've been

670
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:22.800
dealing with it with the kids because
they're they're having a good time and they

671
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.719
don't care about that stuff. But
I don't. Most people are not going

672
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:30.559
to have a great experience playing this
multiplayer. I think that's that's unfortunate the

673
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:34.599
bomber because you know, you think
you want kids to like Sonic. I

674
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:37.119
don't know. I mean, that's
that's what they keep saying. My kids

675
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.719
do have decided that they are crazy
about Sonic, and I don't know how

676
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:45.400
that happens. Hey, if it's
any indicator, they'll turn out cool because

677
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.039
I like Sonic as a kid.
There we go. That's that's encouraging.

678
00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:52.679
That's encouraging. And that's really just
that like photo of the plane with the

679
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:59.400
dots on it though, huh,
survivorship bias yet a little bit. This

680
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:01.280
is what they can it shot in
the Sonic down and still still survive.

681
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:05.360
So that's where we've got to put
the armor protect Sonic at all costs.

682
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.360
How we're putting the heat on the
back of today. Guess what do you

683
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:15.239
mean today? Like for a change? Is that what I normally don't catch

684
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:20.800
strays on this program because I'm very
nice and everyone's nice to be back.

685
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:24.599
You don't literally said you didn't catch
any strays. Image I referenced implied that

686
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:34.360
you I don't understand memes anyway.
I'm just saying you're the one lately who

687
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.480
has been advertising the site's new model
of punching down. I'm just saying we're

688
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:42.320
everyone else, not at each other. Sh It flows both ways, right,

689
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:45.480
you know, like that's all.
That's a cool uppercut, it is.

690
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:51.840
I guess the opposite of punching down
is like an upper cut uppercut.

691
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:59.159
What is the opposite of a sure
you can eat a ball of energy?

692
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.159
Yeah? There you go intimidate people. Okay, you sit on your balls

693
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.280
or something like that. Yeah,
okay, all right, that where I

694
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:13.440
thought we'd be people. I don't
feel anything. Check this out, well,

695
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:17.360
folks. That brings us. That
brings us to our game of the

696
00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:23.639
week, Marvel's Spider Man two.
God, I need to if someone can

697
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:28.119
help me build like just a big
box, like a four by four grid

698
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:32.440
of just arcade buns with like a
map sound effects to Pyro built in.

699
00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:36.280
Yeah, pro we should get Pyro
back? Or do we have a budget

700
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:43.719
for Pyro? For Pyro? There
we go to blow something up, you

701
00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:47.519
know what I mean? Marvel spider
Man two. The review embargoes up and

702
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:52.960
three of us along with Dan chatted
about our impressions and feelings on Spider Man

703
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:57.079
two yesterday. We put that out
on the BombCast feed. If you're curious

704
00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:02.880
check that out before warned we may
have spoiled a couple things, uh specific

705
00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:09.320
mission. I don't get it anything
a spoiler. They got mad at me

706
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:13.719
because I said the final boss fight
and Tears of the Kingdom was against Gannondorf.

707
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:17.159
Yeah, like anything is a spoiler. Yeah, exactly. I had

708
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:21.440
sensitive to a lot of stuff.
Yes, And it's like I get that

709
00:48:21.679 --> 00:48:22.960
for sure, but once people play
it, they're gonna be like, oh,

710
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.599
this wasn't a spoiler. This is
in context. None of that stuff

711
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:30.079
really is going to be a spoiler. And then since that conversation yesterday,

712
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:32.440
grub, you were on the money
about my actual progress on the game,

713
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:37.280
because I immediately finished it after we
had that little review round up conversation.

714
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:42.559
And I don't review games on the
website, right, I just talk about

715
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:47.400
them and crack wise occasionally. If
I did, I think I would give

716
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:50.880
this a five out of five,
y'all. Yeah, Mike Brad, that's

717
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:57.039
perfectly fair. I think like this
has taken like the Arkham City Arkham Asylum

718
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.280
spot for like favorite Superhero game as
well, and I think like this is

719
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:05.639
definitely laid out like the blueprint of
like if you are trying to do it

720
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:09.639
an open world game in like a
bustling city. This is how you do

721
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:15.199
it, especially if you're gonna take
on like a big ip, like like

722
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:16.800
Spider Man. And the thing that
makes me worried is, like, you

723
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:22.199
know, we have rumblings of like
the Wolverine games on the horizon. There's

724
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.599
also like the Black Panther games if
those are still in development, and I

725
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:30.039
just don't know how you nail those
after getting something nearly as perfect as Marvel

726
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:35.000
Spider Man two. And I know
that yesterday we were saying it's a lot

727
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:38.400
more of the same and like the
bigger bosses leave a little bit more to

728
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:43.079
be desired. But it's just because
I think Spider Man's strength and this is

729
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:46.519
his strength as a character and in
the video game is the smaller moments where

730
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:50.719
you're interacting with the people of New
York and the city of New York versus

731
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:54.920
like the wider, bigger thing.
Like I'm so tired and this probably speaks

732
00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:59.119
to my own Marvel fatigue, and
I'm willing to admit this as a Marvel

733
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.920
fan of like I'm so fucking tired
of like the world universe, threat threatening

734
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:07.280
thing. Just give me like a
smaller thing of like a cool bank robbery

735
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:12.159
chase. Yeah, and like tighter
moments like that versus like these bigger,

736
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:15.480
grandiose moments like we don't need those, we have so many of those.

737
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.239
I'll go watch Top Gun Maverick is
for the fourth time. But just this,

738
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:24.000
it's just so good and like the
characterization of both Peter and Miles Backler,

739
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:28.679
you talked about this yesterday on the
lower review, but like the way

740
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:32.639
they nail the story in this one
just absolutely sings versus the first one.

741
00:50:34.519 --> 00:50:38.639
And there are storybists that are recalled
from Miles Morales and the original Spider Man

742
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:43.360
game. Spot put out of lovely
video recapping whole story. Check that out.

743
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:47.559
But man, Miles Morales is just
such a cool fucking character. Yeah,

744
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:52.800
he's awesome, He's really cool.
He's by far the best person in

745
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:55.920
the game. The character to play
as Miles Morales is fantastic in this game.

746
00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.960
I'm I'm with you. Their relationship
is very strong. It's the thing

747
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:02.000
that carries the story. For me, I think the specifics of the story

748
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:07.400
are by the numbers for the most
part, and sure like it didn't matter

749
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.239
to me because I really enjoyed the
dynamics of the characterization that you were talking

750
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:14.400
about. That's the stuff that really
worked. Yeah, And you know,

751
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:17.000
like I said this on the review
cast yesterday, but if you were at

752
00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:21.760
all a fan of any of the
Spider Man comics, any of the runs,

753
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:24.519
there is something. There's a lot
of things there for you. Like

754
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:29.840
one of the specific collectibles. I
just spent a good two hours yesterday just

755
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:35.400
zooming around the map looking for little
little collectible ones that are well, I

756
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:39.079
don't want to spoil what it is, but it's clear that someone placed them

757
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:45.400
there, and they allude to different
Spider verses. Also, man, these

758
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:47.519
stupid costumes. I fucking hate all
of these stupid costumes. Oh my god.

759
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:54.519
But like I I'm I spend so
much time in that menu because it's

760
00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:59.760
like, you know, they do
they do all the cool I like all

761
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:02.960
the all Spidery's more than I like
Spider Man proper these days. Just you're

762
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:07.679
a scarlet spider freak. Yeah,
I'm a scarlet spider freak. And that

763
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:13.519
hooded costume that you get like right
away is just so tough to take off.

764
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:15.840
And I but my gosh. We
talked about it on the Vega.

765
00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:20.679
There's there's one level that you unlock, and then below that are like the

766
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:24.360
variance of that, and it's just
like you are giving me what I want

767
00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:28.840
in a way that's it's like,
this is the thing I want to be

768
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:32.800
overwhelmed by, you know what I
mean, And it's just super satisfying to

769
00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:37.159
I'm like all that stuff, Bailey, is there any interest at all in

770
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:42.360
checking out Marvel Spider Man two?
I forget where you land on superheroes.

771
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:49.000
I really I am experiencing that Marvel
fatigue as well. I think the fact

772
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:53.440
that they're going to have shoe runners
now might help that for the first time

773
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:58.920
that'sperible to me. That's amazing.
How then might make compelling media? I

774
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:01.840
don't know, but I loved the
first I loved the First Spider Man,

775
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:07.880
the previous one in this series,
And my only question is are you able

776
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:13.119
to in cut scenes like pause and
change the character's outfit yet, because I

777
00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:15.880
kept winding up in like really dramatic
cut scenes in the last one where he's

778
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:20.119
like dressed like the two D cartoon
and like someone's actively dying in front of

779
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:23.760
him. He's like, ah,
gee whizz, like that totally if I

780
00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:30.000
can fix this, but it's great
game. So I think the suit continuity

781
00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:34.719
works in cinematics, which is like
always awesome. It didn't always work for

782
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:37.480
me, That's yeah. I wasn't
sure if this was a bug or not

783
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:43.400
because I'm not noticed did not keep
Sometimes it would stay with me, especially

784
00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:45.480
for like side mission stuff like I'm
gonna go talk to this person sitting on

785
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.679
a bench and it's gonna do a
small little story, and I would keep

786
00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:52.320
my suit on for that. Then
I would get back to the main campaign

787
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:57.119
and I'm talking to Harry Osborne again
and I'm wearing the suit that the story

788
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:00.280
gave me last game me, And
that's I'm definitely not wearing that in the

789
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:01.639
main game. But when I'm actually
playing it, it clicked back for me,

790
00:54:01.719 --> 00:54:05.840
So I'm like, that is that
for story important reasons, which I'm

791
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:08.239
fine with. It didn't bother me
too much, actually, but I might

792
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:13.199
I might even think it's an improvement
based on what Bailey's saying, where it's

793
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:16.840
like this gets it keeps the immersion
a little bit better than me being the

794
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:21.199
little you know, the stuff inspired
by Spider Verse or whatever that was in

795
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:22.280
the first game. So not a
spoiler. No, it was like the

796
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.639
retro one, like the old cartoon, so it was really distracting that someone

797
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:29.960
was dying in front of me,
and I was like from the sixties,

798
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:34.159
like zipping around. But I really
I do love those games, and I

799
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:38.519
do think they do a good job
of like balancing out what Marvel has done

800
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:42.400
with Spider Man, which I don't
necessarily love. The thing I love about

801
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:45.440
Spider Man is those like small moments, the friendly neighborhood Spider Man. I

802
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:49.519
don't like him as a global superhero. I don't think he really works on

803
00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:53.400
that scale. So having you flying
around New York doing little things helping people

804
00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:57.679
has always been like kind of my
bag. So I'm really excited to check

805
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:00.440
this one out, especially based on
what everyone's saying. It sounds just really,

806
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:02.000
really fine. I think the thing
that makes it really work is it

807
00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:07.400
leaned into its strengths. Right,
It's not. It doesn't despite I'm sorry

808
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:10.760
for this pun, but it doesn't
take any big swings of trying new different

809
00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:16.639
things. It did it, but
it flips in the direction of of hey,

810
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:21.199
we we had some Uh, this
is a fun city to explore,

811
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:23.039
and so we're gonna put We're gonna
put sie Quest out there, but we're

812
00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:25.039
gonna do a little bit. It's
gonna be a little bit limited, a

813
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:29.000
little bit fewer of those, but
they're gonna be better and more robust,

814
00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:31.599
and they're gonna tell better stories and
they're gonna have satisfying conclusions of their own.

815
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:35.039
It's like, okay, that's that's
an improvement. It's not some big

816
00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:37.800
swing, but it's definitely better than
what you guys did before. And then

817
00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:40.159
it's like, well, we're gonna
make sure that you can we we're gonna

818
00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:43.199
expand the map. We're gonna ma
sure youn get around, you can fly.

819
00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:45.920
Basically, you can get the glider. That's our big new thing.

820
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:49.440
It turns out that was so good
that it carries a lot. But man,

821
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:51.800
this I can't go back to the
other ones. I need this now.

822
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:54.920
So that they knew what would work, and they did that and they

823
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:59.159
made that as the best it possibly
could be. And then they didn't try

824
00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:01.559
to make extept with like a million
other things that are going to distract you

825
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:04.719
from what it's good at. And
I think that's a good call. And

826
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:08.119
you know, we talked about this
yesterday as well. And sorry for rehashing

827
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:13.679
this if you've listened to that as
well. But I do like that Insomniac

828
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:19.039
stuck to their guns with their specific
version and vision of Spider Man or the

829
00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:24.119
Spider Men's here, versus trying to
fist ham fist in any of the Spider

830
00:56:24.199 --> 00:56:29.480
Verse stuff, any of the mc
U stuff, and like stay true to

831
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:35.400
to their their visions of the characters. Something I kinda I kind of wish

832
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:40.000
that they did is just just freaking
like, get a licensed song, get

833
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:45.760
like a nice hip hop song,
and just like, let me swing to

834
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.320
that ship, let me let me
swing along to that like a nice title

835
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:53.400
card sequence. Give me give me
some no, no, not imagine.

836
00:56:53.440 --> 00:57:00.599
I'll take imagine dragons, I'll take
imagine the Spider Man two soundtracks still bangs

837
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:08.440
dashboard confessional indicated, it doesn't it
is in one of them, right Nicobec

838
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:14.440
for one of them. Would I
would also prefer Chris Kraba as Peter Parker

839
00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:19.440
in this version because the little boy, the little boy they got doing it

840
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:23.000
is not working for me. But
wait so because I want to just like

841
00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:28.199
a sequence where it's like I hear
you man, It's okay, or give

842
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:34.760
me vindicated again. I think.
Look, obviously no expense was spared in

843
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:38.400
games like this, so licensing music
is well within the resk. Sony owns

844
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:44.360
a music label. It's so I
can't I can't give you a reason why

845
00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:51.159
that's not the thing. But yeah, I mean I think, like I

846
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.199
the more I played this, and
again I did since we talked about it

847
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:58.199
yesterday, Like, I just I
just don't see how these hooks get un

848
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:01.880
attached from from where I'm you know, from this position of like how much

849
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:07.039
I'm really into this more so than
even the first two. I really think

850
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:14.800
this one has refined it and got
that formula so perfected that this this game

851
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:19.280
has slid way up into my list
for For the the fast travel system,

852
00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:22.920
we didn't really talk about this,
Yeah, it's pretty oppressive. It's insane

853
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:27.159
how this works. So yeah,
as long as soon as you complete enough

854
00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:30.239
crimes in a region of the map, you're able to unlock fast Travel.

855
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:32.719
And you're like, so you'll see
the progress bar, it'll have it like

856
00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:36.039
marked right there in the middle of
the progress bars. Once you unlock that,

857
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:37.079
then you can do this. Yeah, and that that counts as like

858
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:42.360
the little side missions or the miscellaneous
crimes that pop up that all counts to

859
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:47.360
that progression. But once you get
that unlocked, you can pick any place

860
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:52.039
on the map in fast travel exactly
to that spot it And when you pick

861
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:55.000
it on the map, it zooms
in on the map that you're looking at,

862
00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:59.639
and then and then the buildings like
you know, manifest and then swide

863
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:01.559
just right in front of the camera. And it's the fucking coolest thing.

864
00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:06.440
It's so cool looking. Yeah,
And like the thing is, if you

865
00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:09.320
were if you don't have the means
to play a PC game or whatever,

866
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:14.039
and you're not a Marvel fan and
you only have a console, this is

867
00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:17.320
a no brainer pick up like game
one, because this is the thing that

868
00:59:17.320 --> 00:59:22.039
people are going to buy their buy
with their PlayStation fives this holiday. Like

869
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:24.360
y'all know, like I didn't shut
up about Spider Man two the movie for

870
00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:28.599
like a good two three months.
I probably won't shut up about it for

871
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:31.920
the rest of the year. This
nails that Spider Man two, whatever it

872
00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:36.639
is, is always going to be
the best one. Baby. Yeah,

873
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:38.559
there's a bit that I'll talk about
you out the air where I'm like,

874
00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:42.480
I wonder if jam popped for this, Uh, iady, do what you

875
00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:45.960
gotta talk about. Yeah, yeah, so that's that's fun stuff. Uh,

876
00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:50.840
I'm wondering Jan you you so you've
beaten it, You've got the credits.

877
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:54.559
Okay, are you compelled to one? Because I am and I'm not

878
00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:59.559
one game kind of guy. I'm
definitely not a platinum trophy guy. Couldn't

879
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:02.239
care. But I'm like, man, I'm just having a fun time swinging

880
01:00:02.239 --> 01:00:05.880
around here. There are some stuff
on the skill trees. I want to

881
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.079
keep moving. I want to keep
unlocking a few more things, and it

882
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:12.320
seems really really manageable. I'm like, I'm finished the game, and I'm

883
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:15.719
not like seventy five percent completion.
I could probably just keep going and clear

884
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:17.639
out these last few things. Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm also not

885
01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:23.679
a platinum type of dude. Bailey
knows I can't finish games, but this

886
01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:28.400
one I think it might be.
I think this one might be the second

887
01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:30.760
game I ever finished in my whole
life. A one hundred percent Wow,

888
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:37.800
Liza p in this there it is. But yeah, also I don't want

889
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:42.199
to the of course, there is
an after credit stinger. It's a Marvel

890
01:00:42.239 --> 01:00:45.320
property. There's a couple. There's
a couple required by law, It's required

891
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:51.480
by law if you are a spider
freak or a comic book freak like me,

892
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:54.800
let me tell you, let me
tell you boys, girls, nb's

893
01:00:55.440 --> 01:01:00.880
your boy stood up? Sorry clapping. I thought, Oh, I can't

894
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:04.679
wait for that. I can't wait. I can't wait. Definitely. I

895
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:07.280
think you'll be very excited about it, and the like there's the mid mid

896
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:09.679
credits one, and that one's like, if you're paying attention to story,

897
01:01:09.679 --> 01:01:12.800
you're gonna be very excited about that
as well, because it's like, Okay,

898
01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:15.000
they're delivering on stuff you want them
to deliver on and setting up pieces

899
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:19.280
you want them to set up.
And I'm I'm like, I'm ready and

900
01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:21.840
rare to go for Spider Man three, Like, let's do it, let's

901
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:23.960
go right away. I want this
story. I want these characters to keep

902
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:28.199
going. I want to I want
the villains to keep coming into the story.

903
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:30.119
I want all the B tier and
C tier villains that they always use

904
01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:32.679
in fun ways to come like pop
off, like a million more of those.

905
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.599
Let's go and wow, that's that's
another great thing. Maybe the last

906
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:39.880
thing I'll say about Spider Man two
is that they definitely allude to the other

907
01:01:40.119 --> 01:01:45.679
smaller members of Spider Man's Rogues Gallery. Yes, nice. They do a

908
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:47.679
great job of that, and in
a way that like the Batman games did

909
01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:51.400
a really good job of as well, where it's like, hey, like

910
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:58.119
here's this obscure villain from this one
comic story. Run here they are.

911
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:01.239
They do this similar thing. And
Spider Man two, it's really great.

912
01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:06.079
I fucking love this game, y'all. It's I tried firing up Assassin's Creed

913
01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:10.800
Mirage and this isn't the disparage Assassin's
Creed Mirage, but go ahead. I

914
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:15.960
just he's just that game. It's
fun to run around. He's just after

915
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:21.559
getting a taste of like Spider Man
two, it's it's just hard to go

916
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:24.159
to anything else. And I know
what we should do on Friday, when

917
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:27.880
we are able to stream this is
we should do one of those TikTok streams

918
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:31.199
where you just play music and have
Spider Man swing through the city to myself.

919
01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:34.639
Me too, I've been doing it
too. It's like, yeah,

920
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:38.960
I'm I'm my own TikToker. I
am swinger around in New York as miles

921
01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:45.199
of morales playing Noah Kahn slowly crying
to myself, and every once in a

922
01:02:45.199 --> 01:02:49.679
while just pop it off that L
three R three and you just does that

923
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.119
slow spin and he's all electric.
It's great. It's great. God,

924
01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:58.800
Spider Man, he's just a boy. What a great game? Anyone playing

925
01:02:58.840 --> 01:03:00.599
anything else they want to talk about? Before we took a quick brigging break.

926
01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:07.599
If I finished downloading Skull Island King
of Kong, so oh congrats.

927
01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:10.519
Yeah, we're gonna be ready for
that. Oh great, can't can't wait?

928
01:03:10.880 --> 01:03:14.719
All right, folks, we're gonna
take a quick break and we'll see

929
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:20.840
you with the news after this.

three. Don't feel shame about asking
for help, especially in the form of

935
01:03:40.760 --> 01:03:45.760
therapy. Therapy has really helped me
contextualize a lot of stuff. Therapy is

936
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:49.719
great if you've been wanting to get
some stuff off of your chest, stop

937
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:52.400
holding onto it and get it out
of your system. By talking to a

938

943
01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:26.440
Uh. One more game to talk
about is uh? Was it last

944
01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:30.199
week on UPF? I think it
was last week on UPF. Three of

945
01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:34.079
Us and Mike Manatti played Fasmophobia.
Hey that game is still good. Yeah?

946
01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:35.960
That was just why does that feel
like? That was? Like,

947
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:40.320
yes, yesterday? I guess it's
Tuesday, all right, I'm all right,

948
01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:46.719
Yeah it was. It was very
fun seeing my friends get choked out

949
01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:51.280
by a ghost. Yes, so
many times, by so many different ghosts.

950
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:56.199
Chan that clip you posted jan of
what it was like from your perspective

951
01:04:56.440 --> 01:04:59.840
for all of us to be like
screaming and like really scared because you left

952
01:04:59.880 --> 01:05:02.920
the house for a second. I
watched that and cracked up. That was

953
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:10.760
very funny that you really thought you
died. It was one of those instances

954
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:15.320
where it's like man, games,
proximity chat can be good and I feel

955
01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:19.000
like the father of this group somehow, despite two of you being older than

956
01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:24.760
all of you being older than me. That's okay if you want that.

957
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:27.920
You guys are daddy energy. What
can we do about it? Just like

958
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:34.199
real life how it happens. But
let's talk about the news. Ah,

959
01:05:34.440 --> 01:05:43.639
news, let it wash over you, soothing news. Wow, I suppose

960
01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:46.719
that's my cue to read some news. We got a bunch of bigger stories

961
01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:49.360
this week. We'll talk about those. There were some smaller stuff. I

962
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:53.880
think we'll probably end up just talking
about this big stuff starting with but as

963
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:57.960
the head of publishing, Pete Hines
is leaving the company. Pete Hines,

964
01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:00.559
who's been the head of publishing PROTHESTA
for a while. He's been with the

965
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:03.559
company for twenty four years, announced
his decision on social media, saying that

966
01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:08.039
he wants to explore new interest and
passions. He said, now it's a

967
01:06:08.079 --> 01:06:11.639
good time with them just launching Starfield, that's a long time to be with

968
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:14.719
the company. I think this is
just a natural sort of Oh yeah,

969
01:06:14.760 --> 01:06:18.159
it's probably time to move on,
and there's probably not too much else to

970
01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:23.079
it, although I'm sure people will
speculate, but as it was acquired by

971
01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:26.920
Microsoft in twenty twenty one, so
that might make things easier to like,

972
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:29.639
Oh, there's definitely gonna be people
here and money here to ensure that things

973
01:06:29.719 --> 01:06:31.960
keep going so you can leave and
move on with your life. Pete Heines,

974
01:06:31.960 --> 01:06:35.239
I think, is always the guy
that held the grudges against places like

975
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:40.360
Kotaku that was like him. He's
like, hey, you reported on a

976
01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:42.800
game before we were ready, and
I'm not going to give you video games

977
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:45.559
anymore. So maybe that will stop
now, but who knows, maybe that's

978
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:49.440
built into be us at this point. You guys ever have any interactions with

979
01:06:49.480 --> 01:06:53.239
Pete Hines? Have ever have a
thing where you go a hang times?

980
01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:58.840
Nothing memorable, but yeah, so
you might seem okay, yeah he's a

981
01:06:59.119 --> 01:07:01.079
I think he's a Caps fan,
so oh yeah that's right. Yes they

982
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:05.719
will, Yeah, yeah, good
luck. Yeah yeah they had a good

983
01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:09.920
run. I always get them confused
because this isn't there a comedian with the

984
01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:14.800
last name Hines as well? Yeah, I think Pete Holmes. Yeah that's

985
01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:17.400
exactly what I'm thinking of, very
different guy. It turns out, yeah,

986
01:07:17.400 --> 01:07:20.559
well they're both really white, so
I get like, I think that's

987
01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:26.400
pretty close. I get that,
but this is gonna be fine. They

988
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:29.920
got a lot of games coming.
I'm sure that this. You probably won't

989
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:32.039
notice this if you're just a fan
of their games, but happy trails to

990
01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:39.559
Pete Hines. Analog is making a
Nintendo sixty four FPGA system. Analog,

991
01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:44.119
a retro console manufacturer, has announced
the Analog three D, a reimagining of

992
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:46.519
the Nintendo sixty four. It will
play in sixty four games in four K

993
01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:51.760
resolution, support original display modes,
and play legacy game cartridges. It will

994
01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:56.079
be released in twenty twenty four and
will feature wireless, Bluetooth and two point

995
01:07:56.119 --> 01:08:00.360
four gigahertz technology connectivity, plus four
original style controller por its. Pricing has

996
01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:04.079
not been announced. But it's basically
like their fallow up to the Super INT

997
01:08:04.280 --> 01:08:10.360
the the Super or just I guess
the Analog INT was what it was before,

998
01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:12.639
and then they did the Analog Pocket
of course, which is the game

999
01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:15.840
Boy and game Boy Advance version of
their FPGA. Now they're taking on the

1000
01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:19.359
n sixty four. This is a
pretty cool development. It's not like a

1001
01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:26.239
shocking development because FPGA people who aren't
who aren't aware that's field program programmable gate

1002
01:08:26.439 --> 01:08:31.239
array it's basically a really big processor
that people can go into in like in

1003
01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:34.960
sort a core that tells this processor
to behave in a certain way, and

1004
01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:39.760
then it mimics how old processors worked
and can behave, just like an N

1005
01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:42.560
sixty four. The thing with the
N sixty four is like that was a

1006
01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.960
bit too robust for FPGA for a
while, but now there's been a lot

1007
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:49.439
of progress made with that with the
mister, and there's actually a core coming

1008
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:53.960
along there that's that's making a lot
of progress. But it sounds like right

1009
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:57.039
alongside that, Analog's been working on
their own core for N sixty four for

1010
01:08:57.159 --> 01:09:00.000
three years, and it's gonna have
a ton of cool features. It's gonna

1011
01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:03.319
i have the ability to like turn
off graphical features in the game. Games

1012
01:09:03.359 --> 01:09:06.000
will run exactly like they did on
the in sixty four, but then it's

1013
01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:10.079
gonna have overclock options to run even
better. So some of those games that

1014
01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:12.960
were like twenty frames per second,
maybe now you can get them to thirty,

1015
01:09:13.159 --> 01:09:15.840
maybe even sixty. I'm probably not. I'm not too hopeful about that,

1016
01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:18.640
but we'll see. I'm excited about
this, except for the possibility of

1017
01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:21.960
it being like five hundred dollars.
Oh, it's going to be like,

1018
01:09:23.079 --> 01:09:28.199
yes, it's probably gonna be pretty
expensive. Yeah, and FPGA processors are

1019
01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:30.319
expensive, that's the true. Like
the Mister One, I think is subsidized,

1020
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:33.279
which is why it's somewhat affordable.
And even that's like two hundred and

1021
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:38.439
fifty three hundred dollars to get started, So yeah, I'm not expecting anything

1022
01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:42.640
below four hundred here and probably five
hundred. I'm a big in sixty four

1023
01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:45.000
guy, so that's why I'm into
this. I know in sixty four is

1024
01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:47.800
kind of showing its age these days. It's the Atari of three D gaming.

1025
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:53.279
Wow, wow, wow. I
don't think anyone's ever said that before,

1026
01:09:53.640 --> 01:09:56.680
and I don't think that's mean.
I think I love it when I

1027
01:09:56.800 --> 01:10:00.359
hear like a sentence that has never
been said. Yeah, he was just

1028
01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:03.960
like huh, I think, but
I think that's fair. I think that's

1029
01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:05.840
what they were figured. They were
still figuring it out back then, and

1030
01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:11.920
I think that like a lot of
those games were foundational, but you're gonna

1031
01:10:11.920 --> 01:10:15.640
play better versions of them on the
very next console, right, So uh,

1032
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:18.239
you know, maybe it's somewhere between
an Aatarian anys of three D gaming,

1033
01:10:18.319 --> 01:10:20.840
but that I love the N sixty
four. I'll play a ton of

1034
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:24.119
that stuff, So I'm looking forward
to this. But I don't know,

1035
01:10:24.119 --> 01:10:28.159
do you guys have any love for
the N sixty four. I remember showing

1036
01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:30.399
up to a Toys r Us thinking
like, oh, maybe we can get

1037
01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:33.800
it N sixty four. Today my
mom looks at the controller and she just

1038
01:10:33.840 --> 01:10:39.239
says, that's ugly Jerome. We're
not getting Yeah. Yeah, she's not

1039
01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:44.680
wrong. Who among us has not
had a parent deny a console because of

1040
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:48.399
the shape of its weird controller.
She she thought it was like some perverted

1041
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:50.600
thing, didn't she? I bet
she was. She's not wrong either.

1042
01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:55.439
It's definitely I gotta say that,
young Catholic ulter server boy, No,

1043
01:10:55.600 --> 01:11:00.880
everyone knows that controller. You know
less than average. Uh, but I

1044
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:06.319
don't know like I this. You
would think like I'm a total candidate for

1045
01:11:06.439 --> 01:11:11.840
this to be like a very big
deal for me, right, someone our

1046
01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:15.119
age grub right, like okay,
cool? Because I don't. I don't

1047
01:11:15.159 --> 01:11:19.880
care. I don't care about this. I I don't care. I liked

1048
01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:23.720
the ten sixty four. I don't
hold that console in the high regard that

1049
01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:28.479
my peers do. But I and
I am fascinated. I did get an

1050
01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:31.960
analog NT maybe is that the aniest
one? That was thenest one? Yeah?

1051
01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:35.720
That one's like that was like six
hundred dollars that that was very expensive.

1052
01:11:36.119 --> 01:11:40.880
Yeah, I was lifted at the
scene at office. Well, let's

1053
01:11:40.920 --> 01:11:43.439
fucking conduct a heist. Baby,
we got to get that baby back.

1054
01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:45.560
Come on, let's look pretty dead. Ship is sealed. Yeah, that

1055
01:11:45.680 --> 01:11:51.159
place is no longer in existence.
But yeah, like cameras, I know,

1056
01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:55.039
uh yeah, would they do?
Oh you know what? I bet

1057
01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:58.159
they? Okay, well I just
had a light bulb that I need to

1058
01:11:58.199 --> 01:12:02.840
make a note about. But that
intrigued me in a way because it was,

1059
01:12:02.960 --> 01:12:08.239
like I understood, obviously they're they're
treating the sixty four with the same

1060
01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:12.920
regard, right like they're they're giving
it that same treatment. I don't regard

1061
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:15.279
that a Nintendo console version of one
of these is going to perform way better

1062
01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:18.960
than anything else they could do it. And it was that that perfect one

1063
01:12:19.039 --> 01:12:23.039
to one emulate, not even emulation, right like that, Like you said,

1064
01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:27.439
you know, it's not software emulation. It is hardware emulation. A

1065
01:12:27.520 --> 01:12:30.319
piece of hardware emulating another piece of
hardware. But yes, it's different.

1066
01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:32.079
Uh, I guess I cared a
little bit more about that, maybe because

1067
01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:36.399
I was had a larger fondness for
the library, where sixty four I'm just

1068
01:12:36.439 --> 01:12:42.319
sort of like, all right,
uh and I don't think it upscaled as

1069
01:12:42.399 --> 01:12:45.680
high as this one. I think
this one is like the NT was like

1070
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:47.399
a ten ADP situation. In this
one, they're saying they'll get it to

1071
01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:49.680
four K or something like that.
Right, Yeah, yeah, that's that's

1072
01:12:49.720 --> 01:12:53.760
right. I mean, it just
sounds like that those are improvements being made

1073
01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:56.439
by uh I can't remember the name
of the guy, but there's like they

1074
01:12:56.479 --> 01:12:59.680
have basically have a genius who works
on these cores, who did a ton

1075
01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:02.079
of work on this stuff. Yeah, and I think they still have him

1076
01:13:02.119 --> 01:13:06.439
plugging away at these things, and
that is that's very cool here, and

1077
01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:12.119
I'm excited about it. But again, I am someone who's pretty happy with

1078
01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:15.720
emulation software. Emulation at this point
totally. Yeah, like the Dan Records

1079
01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:18.439
of the world are gonna, you
know, buy eleven of these and exactly

1080
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:20.680
yeah, and I'm like, yeah, you knock yourself out. But I

1081
01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:24.479
mean I like having all my stuff
just set up on my PC and I

1082
01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:28.600
can totally just played over on the
TV, no problem, and that's fine

1083
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:30.600
enough for me, and I'm not
even like fun. It's actually almost perfect

1084
01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:33.760
in most cases these days. So
it's sixty four is a little bit troublesome,

1085
01:13:33.840 --> 01:13:38.960
especially with something like Indiana Jones in
The Infernal Machine, the Blockbuster exclusive

1086
01:13:39.039 --> 01:13:42.359
video game. Yeah, that one
actually has some trouble, but you know,

1087
01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:45.199
overall, most of the games are
gonna work. Just let me let

1088
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:48.800
me ask you this, what is
what is the whole like legality of emulating

1089
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:54.000
hardware, Like how does that so
you can do whatever you want? So

1090
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:57.279
it's yeah, if you're emulating hardware
in terms of what the software emulator,

1091
01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:00.560
perfectly legal. I think that has
actually been protected as you're doing in a

1092
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:04.199
clean room environment, right if you
aren't using any of the documentation that says

1093
01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:09.079
this is how the chip works,
you have to be in a clean room,

1094
01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:11.760
which means you're not looking into that
stuff and you're figuring out on your

1095
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:15.479
own and you're reverse engineering it.
For something like the hardware emulation that they're

1096
01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:18.119
doing here, most of that's going
to be covered under the same rules.

1097
01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:23.640
But then there's going to be things
like this has the N sixty four controller

1098
01:14:23.680 --> 01:14:27.319
parts on the front, that's something
that Nintendo might have had patented did,

1099
01:14:28.119 --> 01:14:31.159
but that patents only last for twenty
years, so that would would it's more

1100
01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:34.239
than expired at this point, and
then it's just fair game and anyone can

1101
01:14:34.319 --> 01:14:39.039
use it. So yeah, that's
They're going to be completely in the clear

1102
01:14:39.079 --> 01:14:43.800
here as long as they don't include
any ROMs that are copyrighted. Copyright is

1103
01:14:43.880 --> 01:14:45.680
the is the real thing, so
and they should be fine here in terms

1104
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:48.319
of that because they're not going to
include that stuff. Cool, Baily,

1105
01:14:48.359 --> 01:14:53.920
any interest in revisiting in Nintendo sixty
four at all? I mean, I'm

1106
01:14:54.119 --> 01:15:00.840
really busy photographing my cat right now, but be it's very cute. I

1107
01:15:01.279 --> 01:15:04.640
was. I have a huge amount
of nostalgia for that era of gaming.

1108
01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:10.359
Uh, the n sixty four MPs
one both had a lot of games that

1109
01:15:10.399 --> 01:15:14.680
I consider very formative for me,
but a lot of the ones that I

1110
01:15:14.720 --> 01:15:17.439
feel most nostalgic about for the n
sixty four, actually, you don't even

1111
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:24.039
need to emulate third party. Nintendo
at this point will let you play Mario

1112
01:15:24.159 --> 01:15:28.239
sixty four, Ocarina of Time GoldenEye
on your switch as long as you have

1113
01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:31.119
a Nintendo Online membership and it plays
really well, you can play Mario Party

1114
01:15:31.159 --> 01:15:34.439
two for the N sixty four if
you're sick of Mario Party Superstars like you

1115
01:15:35.920 --> 01:15:40.600
as well. It started off kind
of Rocky's and now this will be both

1116
01:15:40.640 --> 01:15:44.079
the Pokemon stadiums now. Now,
Yeah, I'm like all the stuff that

1117
01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:46.239
I Pokemon snap, all the ones
that like I played all the time as

1118
01:15:46.279 --> 01:15:51.520
a kid, are readily available to
me without me setting up finicky hardware that

1119
01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:56.439
might explode if I look at it
wrong. I just feel like I'd be

1120
01:15:56.560 --> 01:15:59.920
very bad at I'm not a Dan. I don't I every I can.

1121
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:05.720
I can't fiddle with electronics and make
them work. So these analog consoles are

1122
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:10.880
like the Simplified they just work mode. But I don't. They're very expensive,

1123
01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:13.479
and you're not I know what you're
saying. I think I'm in the

1124
01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:15.840
exact same position where I'm like,
yeah, I know that the later the

1125
01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:19.079
software emulator is technically worse, but
it's been fine and it's good enough,

1126
01:16:19.119 --> 01:16:23.199
and I'm am very happy with good
enough as opposed to spending a lot of

1127
01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:26.600
extra money to get the extra five
percent of like now, it's more authentic.

1128
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:29.399
Now, I'm good. Yeah,
I don't, I don't necessarily need

1129
01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:32.479
that authentic experience. I was like, let me think got it came out

1130
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:38.399
in ninety five, ninety six,
ninety five, ninety ninety six. That's

1131
01:16:38.439 --> 01:16:41.880
what I want to say, But
I could be wrong. Oh kindergarten y

1132
01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:46.960
yeah, jams Shita ninety five killing
Yeah. I was like five years old

1133
01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:50.960
when it came out, Like I
have a fuzzy memory of it anyway,

1134
01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:58.199
So this is this is my best
version of playing it is. It's approximately

1135
01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:00.800
the same difficulty level of turning it
on as I asked my dad to help

1136
01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:05.279
me get the TV to turn on. That's the most challenge I can do.

1137
01:17:05.720 --> 01:17:09.399
I was old enough when the N
sixty four came out to get in

1138
01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:13.399
a fight on the bus about the
N sixty four, an actual fistfight,

1139
01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:17.319
So what's okay? That's very strange
too. Everyone has a weird response to

1140
01:17:17.399 --> 01:17:21.680
this. It was not my like
initiation. It was like a couple like

1141
01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:25.439
bullies being like the N sixty four
stupid, Why do you like that thing

1142
01:17:25.560 --> 01:17:30.800
so much? I'm like, leave
me alone. This is like early on

1143
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:33.479
when the PS one was like the
cool thing, and then that they I

1144
01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:36.079
was like standing up and then they
pushed me and that's when we actually got

1145
01:17:36.119 --> 01:17:40.520
in the fight, but the N
sixty four was tangentially involved at that point,

1146
01:17:40.680 --> 01:17:45.159
so they did have all those cool
ads about how like cool people play

1147
01:17:45.239 --> 01:17:49.119
PlayStation and losers play in sixty four. Did you see what she was wearing?

1148
01:17:49.239 --> 01:17:53.560
Jorts? That's cool? Yeah,
it is cool. It's empirically cool.

1149
01:17:53.760 --> 01:18:00.840
Yeah. Shape like a doo Dorito
shape. Bitch put that on a

1150
01:18:00.920 --> 01:18:05.760
shirt. Yeah, please give me
that's really good, Bailey, Jesus,

1151
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:13.800
that's my opinion. All right.
Let's see here, Disney CEO is being

1152
01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:18.239
urged to acquire a publisher like EAU. Let's see your Disney ceo, Bob

1153
01:18:18.279 --> 01:18:24.560
Iger's deputies are reportedly pushing him to
consider acquiring a major game publisher like Electronic

1154
01:18:24.680 --> 01:18:28.319
Arts, the move which transformed Disney
from a gaming licensee to a gaming giant

1155
01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:32.279
with a major third party publisher.
He doesn't want to do this, it

1156
01:18:32.359 --> 01:18:35.039
seems like, because he's afraid of
doing anything. At this point. Bob

1157
01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:42.239
Iger is very noncommittal, is what
all the reporting is saying. No,

1158
01:18:42.359 --> 01:18:47.720
he's not afraid of that, even
though he get him yes. So basically

1159
01:18:47.760 --> 01:18:50.319
this comes down to I think Bob
Biger and Ganea. I think I've had

1160
01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:53.960
you explained this to me. Mike
explained this to me now here. She

1161
01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:58.399
could probably explain it as well.
Bob Iger is like concerned about getting the

1162
01:18:58.479 --> 01:19:01.039
succession from him to the next,
right, and that's always focused on and

1163
01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:05.319
making some big move. Excuse me, some big move equivalent to spending the

1164
01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:10.399
forty billion or whatever he did to
get Fox would only complicate things. So

1165
01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:13.520
I don't think he's interested in being
the person that's gonna spearhead this. That

1166
01:19:13.720 --> 01:19:16.319
said, do you guys think as
Disney fans that Disney would be better off

1167
01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:21.079
as like acquiring a big publisher or
just continuing to work as a licensee work

1168
01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:25.800
as a licensee like it is.
It feels like a no brainer. Like

1169
01:19:27.279 --> 01:19:30.960
you see Sony winning the Streamer Awards
because they don't have a streaming platform because

1170
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:34.760
they're just licensing out all of their
movies and series is across the board.

1171
01:19:35.399 --> 01:19:40.560
Disney do the same goddamn thing with
games. Let John Drake cook, damn

1172
01:19:40.600 --> 01:19:43.880
it, yeah, let Drake cook
absolutely. Like you know, you think

1173
01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:47.960
about like the huge vault of IP
that Disney owns and who and what they

1174
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:51.239
could license out, it just seems
like a no brainer. Of like different

1175
01:19:51.319 --> 01:19:56.239
things to do, Like, I
don't know what's a good give the Ace

1176
01:19:56.359 --> 01:20:00.359
Combat Team Tailspin, maybe don't,
but do it fucking a no, we

1177
01:20:00.520 --> 01:20:05.279
definitely do that. That sounds incredible, sick. I would love that,

1178
01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:12.199
Oh my god, Like there's so
many there's so many, like different developers

1179
01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:16.239
that could do a fantastic job with
any Disney ip. Like it seems criminal

1180
01:20:16.319 --> 01:20:21.199
that we haven't had a very incredibly
good three D platformer starring Mickey Mouse,

1181
01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:26.600
right, yea, Like how is
that possible? Like you we you have

1182
01:20:27.079 --> 01:20:32.640
amazing games like Ratchet and clank Jack
and Daxter. Mario Games has had it.

1183
01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:35.079
Sort of like, no, that
was actually good Because I never played

1184
01:20:35.079 --> 01:20:39.640
those games. I don't know if
it had that, but I remember it

1185
01:20:39.720 --> 01:20:44.199
being okay, yeah, I don't
know. I think more so the thing

1186
01:20:44.279 --> 01:20:48.760
that came out of Epic Mickey was
just Oswald the character. Yeah, get

1187
01:20:48.880 --> 01:20:51.600
in another chance? Yeah yeah,
And then like, okay, cool,

1188
01:20:51.760 --> 01:20:55.840
this is the only thing we're gonna
monetize or talk about from this game ever.

1189
01:20:57.359 --> 01:21:00.840
And then just see the Oswald ears
across the park. Yeah, I

1190
01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:02.760
mean he was around before that,
you know that, right? Oh yeah

1191
01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:06.000
yeah, but like brought him back
at the problem. Sure, sure,

1192
01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:11.319
for sure, Yeah, I mean
Epic Mickey, I think almost if I'm

1193
01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:16.319
not mistaken on the timeline of it, it's sort of it's thunder was constantly

1194
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:20.600
being being stolen by Kingdom Hearts because
all the people who would have loved Epic

1195
01:21:20.680 --> 01:21:25.159
Mickey were obsessed with Kingdom Hearts and
they didn't have room in their lives for

1196
01:21:25.239 --> 01:21:32.000
any other game. If I'm not
mistake, that definitely sounds that definitely sounds

1197
01:21:32.119 --> 01:21:34.840
right. But I think even the
people who I know, I have enough

1198
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:38.640
the only thing I love is Mickey, so I'm going to try King of

1199
01:21:38.680 --> 01:21:42.079
Hearts and Epic Mickey. I think
people mostly came away from Epic Micky disappointed.

1200
01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:45.720
But I mean that was that was
that license was that like part of

1201
01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:48.840
their publishing efforts at the time,
because I know they've had starts and fits

1202
01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:53.520
and starts of trying to get a
publishing thing going. I think the the

1203
01:21:53.800 --> 01:21:56.479
truth here is if they get a
publisher, that's just not going to solve

1204
01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:58.760
all their problems here. Like here, it's not like it's a magic,

1205
01:21:58.840 --> 01:22:03.760
turnkey solution. And now Disney's representation
and gaming is growing and it makes a

1206
01:22:03.800 --> 01:22:08.039
lot of sense now, like they're
gonna get EA and they're gonna still have

1207
01:22:08.079 --> 01:22:11.159
to keep making all the E sports
games, and yeah, they're gonna slap

1208
01:22:11.359 --> 01:22:13.880
ESPN on there, but apparently Mike
says they want to get rid of ESPN

1209
01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:16.960
as well. I'm sorry. There's
been a lot of Mickey questions. You

1210
01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:20.319
know. That was my very first
press event was the Epic Mickey preview in

1211
01:22:20.359 --> 01:22:25.760
Disneyland. What ride did you ride
with Warrenspector? Didn't you ride? Made

1212
01:22:25.840 --> 01:22:28.760
Warrenspector ride Space Mountain with me?
Well, we all went on him.

1213
01:22:28.760 --> 01:22:32.000
I made him sit next to me. Yeah, that was fun. Epic

1214
01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:35.359
Mickey's big problem was that it was
just okay. It was just, uh,

1215
01:22:36.039 --> 01:22:41.239
you know that it was hyped pretty
heavily as both this big Mickey three

1216
01:22:41.319 --> 01:22:45.560
D platformer and as Warre Inspector's game
with all of like the immersive stuff that

1217
01:22:45.640 --> 01:22:47.960
you expect from that, and you
know, it was a three D platformer

1218
01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:50.680
for the WI so it can only
do so much, and it had a

1219
01:22:50.760 --> 01:22:56.680
lot of you know, we stuff
like waggle and pointer controls. It was

1220
01:22:56.920 --> 01:23:00.479
just only okay. And it was
published by Disney. That was when they

1221
01:23:00.520 --> 01:23:03.079
were going dig on gaming again for
a little bit there there you go.

1222
01:23:03.640 --> 01:23:05.680
Thank you, thank you, thank
you. I see you next time.

1223
01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:11.279
Oh. I really liked the Aladdin
game from nineteen ninety two. Yeah,

1224
01:23:11.920 --> 01:23:15.439
super Nintendo. Yeah totally. Yeah. Wait, really, you don't mean

1225
01:23:15.439 --> 01:23:17.319
the Genesis one. Oh wait,
do I mean the Genesis I thought they

1226
01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:21.359
were the same one. They weren't
one. No, I'm talking about Lock

1227
01:23:21.479 --> 01:23:25.960
up, Jeff, Jeff, shut
the hell up. The Genesis one is

1228
01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:31.600
so much better. God damn it. I don't care you yelled and startled

1229
01:23:31.680 --> 01:23:34.119
me in my camera. Defocus.
Yeah, no, I definitely met the

1230
01:23:34.159 --> 01:23:36.680
Genesis one. I was just a
child. I didn't know the difference between

1231
01:23:36.720 --> 01:23:42.520
the systems. I just really liked
the Aladdin game. Sure, yeah,

1232
01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:47.399
I don't actually have a preference on
the Aladdin games. The robocops, the

1233
01:23:47.439 --> 01:23:50.960
people making RoboCop Rogue City. It's
a fantastic demo, by the way,

1234
01:23:51.439 --> 01:23:58.039
And give them Gizmo Duck from from
Ducktails. But keep all the gore,

1235
01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:00.920
yeah, all of the go,
keep all the are Wow, all right,

1236
01:24:02.039 --> 01:24:05.920
all right. Microsoft has officially completed
its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This

1237
01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:11.039
happened this past week. Microsoft acquired
it for six nine billion dollars. It's

1238
01:24:11.119 --> 01:24:15.680
done. It's approved. They are
now one company. There is like some

1239
01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:18.119
early talks about hey, when are
a game's gonna start show up on game

1240
01:24:18.159 --> 01:24:21.279
Pass. They keep saying, don't
expect that anytime soon. Probably gonna be

1241
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:25.479
next year for most things. There's
a chance some stuff could pop into game

1242
01:24:25.520 --> 01:24:29.680
Pass here in the next couple of
days though. Beyond that, though,

1243
01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:32.560
it's just this is it that it
happened. There's not much else to say.

1244
01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:38.039
We've talked about it to death.
They can begin operating as one company

1245
01:24:38.079 --> 01:24:42.840
though, and regulators have given their
approval around the world. So that's that

1246
01:24:43.159 --> 01:24:47.520
all wrapped up. Any final thoughts
on Microsoft plus Activision. I am so

1247
01:24:47.800 --> 01:24:53.119
ready to fucking punt Bobby Cottock out
this. Yeah, oh yeah, that's

1248
01:24:53.119 --> 01:24:57.680
the outide industry. So he's got
about ten weeks left. It was weird

1249
01:24:58.039 --> 01:25:01.319
because this gut announced like hey by
Kottack is the way he phrased it.

1250
01:25:01.359 --> 01:25:03.920
I think he got away with something
here where he's like, you know,

1251
01:25:04.199 --> 01:25:08.239
kil Spencer came to me and he
was just like, baby, we need

1252
01:25:08.319 --> 01:25:11.039
you. Can you please stay around? And he's like, so, so

1253
01:25:11.159 --> 01:25:13.359
we agreed, I'm gonna stay around
to the end of the year. And

1254
01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:16.119
so that's like in ten weeks,
homie. That's like that's like a normal

1255
01:25:16.159 --> 01:25:19.000
amount of time. That's like less
than a normal amount of time for a

1256
01:25:19.159 --> 01:25:24.000
CEO to do their exit. That's
like pretty quick that you're gone. You

1257
01:25:24.199 --> 01:25:26.760
are getting booted out of here,
aren't you? And he is. That's

1258
01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:29.880
what this is. They acquired him
and now they're getting him out here by

1259
01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:31.319
the end of the year. And
was that like she's not gonna be working

1260
01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:33.880
on Christmas, So by December he's
out of here. It's like like a

1261
01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:38.039
month and a half. Like,
no more Bobby Kottock at Activision. He's

1262
01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:41.720
already not calling the shots anymore.
So yeah, that is a small w

1263
01:25:42.520 --> 01:25:45.159
like with like, however people feel
about the acquisition and consolidation, I think

1264
01:25:45.159 --> 01:25:48.159
all those feelings are valid. A
good thing is no more Bobby Kttock,

1265
01:25:48.199 --> 01:25:51.119
even though of course he's getting very
very well paid for all this. Do

1266
01:25:51.159 --> 01:25:55.760
you think he's gonna go to the
Game Awards? I think yes, he's

1267
01:25:55.760 --> 01:25:58.640
gonna sit front row, right in
the middle. That makes that makes sense,

1268
01:25:58.720 --> 01:26:01.880
right, Give me like Jack Nickel
at at all the Oscars for all

1269
01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:06.079
those years where he sat up front. Yeah, let's get that or like

1270
01:26:06.319 --> 01:26:11.079
that one VMA's where Taylor Swift had
just broken up with Joe Jonas and was

1271
01:26:11.119 --> 01:26:15.359
singing directly to him, and he
was like front row center, the vibes

1272
01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:16.479
were off. Yeah, that's what
I was about to say, as well.

1273
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:21.600
I'm always no, that's your cultural
touchdown. I can relate to that

1274
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:26.960
conversation. You know, my cultural
touchdown for the Video Music Awards is when

1275
01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:30.359
the guy from Rage Against the Machine
climbed up on the set. That's what

1276
01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:33.239
I remember from that region. Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to

1277
01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:38.840
say. Devs are being incentivized to
bring their older titles to Epic GameStore with

1278
01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:43.680
one revenue share. Epic Game Store
has announced two new schemes to attract developers

1279
01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:46.800
Now on Epic, which offers one
revenue share for their first six months for

1280
01:26:46.880 --> 01:26:51.680
games that were previously released on other
platforms. And then there's Epic First Run,

1281
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:56.439
which offers the same deal for games
that are exclusive to Epic Game Store

1282
01:26:56.520 --> 01:26:59.760
for six months. Mike, how
do those two things work in conjunction with

1283
01:26:59.800 --> 01:27:02.159
one another, Cause you definitely are
going to have more success putting your game

1284
01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:05.399
out on Steam first, and then
you could release it on Epic later and

1285
01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:10.920
get one hundred percent revenue. I
guess they're thinking is you'll sell more on

1286
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:13.680
day one if you put on Epic
exclusively, and then you'll get one hundred

1287
01:27:13.680 --> 01:27:16.079
percent of the revenue. So I
do expect some developers to take advantage of

1288
01:27:16.159 --> 01:27:20.159
this. Does this move the needle
for Epic Game Store being a viable platform

1289
01:27:20.199 --> 01:27:24.479
in your guys' minds? I just
I know that we're kind of a point

1290
01:27:24.479 --> 01:27:28.880
where it seems like it's made all
of its best bets and best opportunities to

1291
01:27:29.239 --> 01:27:31.000
take some market share and nothing really
happened there. But do you guys see

1292
01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:35.520
that movement at all? No?
Yeah, I just yeah, I don't

1293
01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:40.680
know. I just think, like
you, I wonder if there's a way

1294
01:27:40.720 --> 01:27:44.880
to like take advantage of this,
And then like I wonder what the sort

1295
01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:48.960
of like agreement is from a developer
point of view of like how long do

1296
01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:53.239
you have to stay on there?
Like if you were to just take advantage

1297
01:27:53.279 --> 01:27:56.600
of this kind of for the first
run, I think it is six months

1298
01:27:56.640 --> 01:28:00.359
officially with the other one of like
now on Epic, what is that?

1299
01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:03.800
What does that look like? Can
you just put something on Steam for a

1300
01:28:03.880 --> 01:28:06.720
month get those first month sales from
Steam? And then I mean to put

1301
01:28:06.760 --> 01:28:11.279
on an epic I don't know's it's
weird. The bigger conversation, if I'm

1302
01:28:11.319 --> 01:28:15.000
being perfectly honest, is that the
Epic Game Store is currently a very bad

1303
01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:19.960
product. Yeah, and it has
been for a while and no real improvements

1304
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:27.640
recently. And if you are investing
in that platform via a super favorable revenue

1305
01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:30.840
share incentivizations, that, from my
position, is not the way to do

1306
01:28:30.960 --> 01:28:34.520
it. I think you fix your
product. You are like, you know,

1307
01:28:35.000 --> 01:28:38.680
make it. I mean I feel
like Steam, I feel like cloud

1308
01:28:38.760 --> 01:28:43.319
saves are still like not universal on
that platform, Like, please fix the

1309
01:28:43.399 --> 01:28:47.479
product, please not have it run
like something is terribly wrong with it,

1310
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:53.119
and just make like that is how
you get people to sign up on that

1311
01:28:53.239 --> 01:28:58.199
platform, is you make that experience
competitive with the Steam experience, which it

1312
01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:00.800
is currently not. Yeah, so
fix that. I think they looked at

1313
01:29:00.840 --> 01:29:03.840
it and they're like, now,
free games is how we actually get people

1314
01:29:03.880 --> 01:29:08.119
on here, And then they did
that and that didn't work either. I'm

1315
01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:10.760
like, oh, there's probably actually
no real way to get Epic Games Story

1316
01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:15.000
to be competitive with Steam. That
actually is probably an impossible thing unless there's

1317
01:29:15.039 --> 01:29:18.319
some implosion on Steam and at which
point. Who knows if Epic would even

1318
01:29:18.359 --> 01:29:24.720
become the secondary default there or not. Speaking of how people buy games,

1319
01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:28.760
best Buy is getting out of physical
media at least DVDs and Blu rays.

1320
01:29:28.920 --> 01:29:31.479
Best Buys reportedly planning to exit the
physical media business. They actually confirm that

1321
01:29:32.319 --> 01:29:35.920
to I think Variety or something like
that. Basically in twenty twenty four,

1322
01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:40.319
they will no longer sell DVDs and
Blu rays. People are worried. This

1323
01:29:40.439 --> 01:29:43.560
means that they're going to do make
the same decision with physical games here pretty

1324
01:29:43.640 --> 01:29:48.159
soon. Is anyone here a physical
game person. You always kind of end

1325
01:29:48.239 --> 01:29:50.560
up having this conversations people like,
no, I buy physical physical games.

1326
01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:53.479
I go to best Buy all the
time. I was talking to Dave Klein

1327
01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:55.920
on Game Most Mornings about this,
and he was saying that that's how he

1328
01:29:56.000 --> 01:29:59.119
does things for me. I haven't
been in a best Buy to buy physical

1329
01:29:59.199 --> 01:30:00.800
media and problem ten years, But
I don't know how about you all.

1330
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:05.479
Every time I've stepped into a Best
Buy within the last three five years,

1331
01:30:06.039 --> 01:30:12.640
I've always immediately regretted it. Yeah, yeah, I mean they're they're always

1332
01:30:12.680 --> 01:30:16.439
selling something like new, like like
like a new thing that I didn't think

1333
01:30:16.479 --> 01:30:19.840
they would sell like yeah, I'm
like, oh, you guys are doing

1334
01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:23.760
like toys or something. Now,
like are you doing like Funko's Like,

1335
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:27.000
oh you guys are oh you have
that now? That's just basically like the

1336
01:30:27.079 --> 01:30:30.239
checkout line at Blockbuster Video now?
Is that what? It was really hard

1337
01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:32.159
with Toys r US closed and then
and it was like a bunch of different

1338
01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:35.600
stores were like maybe we're toy store
now, like Coals CLS is like,

1339
01:30:35.600 --> 01:30:39.800
hey we have a toy store.
Yoh y'all been in a Coles lately?

1340
01:30:40.640 --> 01:30:45.039
Wild? Sh'S one place Wild,
there's a there's a Cephora in there.

1341
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:51.640
Now there ye your Amazon packages for
return to fucking Coals yo. Yeah,

1342
01:30:53.479 --> 01:31:00.319
yeah, it's it's amazing. Oh
yeah nothing. Can I share my distillpian

1343
01:31:00.760 --> 01:31:04.760
idea that popped up into my head? Please? I see a very near

1344
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:11.119
future where Amazon will open up their
warehouses and just call them stores and you

1345
01:31:11.199 --> 01:31:15.520
can just go inside and Bobby or
not Bobby Cottock Jeff Bezos will be like

1346
01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:21.600
I invented brick and mortar stores.
Everyone come in. You think your costco

1347
01:31:21.720 --> 01:31:26.840
has hell of shit? Just watch
me, baby, Get on your Sunday

1348
01:31:26.880 --> 01:31:30.479
best kids. We're going to the
Amazon store and they're gonna sell hot dogs

1349
01:31:30.520 --> 01:31:33.239
for five dollars instead of one fifty. Yeah, what a good deal.

1350
01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:39.720
That's the only possible through the power
of the capitalist market and Amazon that actually

1351
01:31:39.760 --> 01:31:43.359
does it for the news. We'll
see if Best Buy actually stop selling games.

1352
01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:45.640
Probably won't do that for a couple
of years. Jan I'm handing the

1353
01:31:45.680 --> 01:31:47.199
show back over to you. I
got it. I'm holding it, and

1354
01:31:47.279 --> 01:31:49.840
it needs to take a quick nippy
nap. So we're gonna take a quick

1355
01:31:49.880 --> 01:31:58.319
bricky break and we'll be back with
the emails after this short brick You know,

1356
01:31:58.600 --> 01:32:03.119
I also have this prediction and that
instead of mail physically mailing something and

1357
01:32:03.239 --> 01:32:10.119
putting stamps on on on an envelope, we will start sending electronic mail to

1358
01:32:10.199 --> 01:32:14.199
each other. Hey, the future
is now because we could do that right

1359
01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:19.239
now. Here are the Giant podcast
some emails we did it. Bomb dot

1360
01:32:19.319 --> 01:32:27.039
com emails send send your emails to
bombcasta giant bomb dot com. We've actually

1361
01:32:27.079 --> 01:32:30.319
been getting a good chunk of emails
lately, and I appreciate that. It

1362
01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:33.199
warms my heart. I feel good
about it. Thank you for sending your

1363
01:32:33.239 --> 01:32:38.600
emails. You can write about virtually
any and everything and send it into the

1364
01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:42.119
show. I read every email,
but sometimes we don't get the chance to

1365
01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:45.680
put every email on the show.
First email comes from Anthony. Uh.

1366
01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:51.159
They have a question about our arcade
machines and games. They write in,

1367
01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:58.000
Hey Duders, I always thought Katamidamasi
would be an awesome arcade machine if the

1368
01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:00.319
controller was a big track ball.
If it doesn't exist, someone should do

1369
01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:04.800
it. Which game that's not an
arcade already would the duders want? And

1370
01:33:04.920 --> 01:33:10.000
what weird controller scheme would make it
awesome? And what arcade art would Jan

1371
01:33:10.119 --> 01:33:14.039
have a crush on? That was
Mike Manatti. Right, it's a really

1372
01:33:14.159 --> 01:33:16.560
good call out though, with the
track ball Kadamar, I think that's awesome.

1373
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:19.640
Yeah, that'd be great. They
also write and also I would buy

1374
01:33:19.800 --> 01:33:25.319
a Disney soundtrack where all the songs
are Mike Manatti. I don't know if

1375
01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:29.199
they mean sung by Mike or no. They just they they are. They've

1376
01:33:29.239 --> 01:33:33.880
been manifested as a personification of Mike
Manatti. Oh New World Mike Manatti.

1377
01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:40.000
Okay, yeah that works, damn
it. I just care wait it be

1378
01:33:40.119 --> 01:33:44.119
Mike Manotti. Okayama, all right, So you take you go, you

1379
01:33:44.239 --> 01:33:46.640
go, you take Nintendo and then
you have them go knock on Sega's door

1380
01:33:46.800 --> 01:33:48.920
and they're like, hey, Sega
in the back, you have a bunch

1381
01:33:48.960 --> 01:33:54.039
of those Like I know, it's
not really hydraulics, but like basically equivalent

1382
01:33:54.119 --> 01:33:57.960
that they're hydraulics arcade installations that they
use for like Sega Rally too and all

1383
01:33:58.000 --> 01:34:00.359
that stuff. It was amazing.
That stuff is really good. But you

1384
01:34:00.479 --> 01:34:03.840
do that with wave race, so
it's like you're on a jet ski and

1385
01:34:03.920 --> 01:34:08.079
as you're hitting all those waves,
it's just making you feel like you're actually

1386
01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:10.680
moving on there. And as you're
taking the turns, it does a thing

1387
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:12.800
where when you turn left, it
leans right, so it feels like you

1388
01:34:12.840 --> 01:34:15.800
actually have those g forces a little
bit. Uh yeah, give me that.

1389
01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:19.039
That would be fantastic. I was
thinking of like Advance Wars as like

1390
01:34:19.119 --> 01:34:23.840
a game out on a physical grid, and then I just realized I was

1391
01:34:23.880 --> 01:34:28.399
thinking of Chess or Warhammer. You
can get some some of that going there.

1392
01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:32.439
Oh yeah, some war Hammer.
What about that like WEU game that

1393
01:34:32.640 --> 01:34:36.560
came out where you had to learn
to sword fight for Zelda or whatever.

1394
01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:41.800
Just do that in arcades. Yeah, I would just sword fight in arcades.

1395
01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:45.239
They should let me do that.
Do that now you'll get the cops

1396
01:34:45.279 --> 01:34:46.439
called on you. But you can
do it. You can use a guitar

1397
01:34:46.560 --> 01:34:50.760
hero controller for anything, that's right. Yeah, you know, I think

1398
01:34:50.800 --> 01:34:56.319
you could adapt a lot of Wii
and WEU games to like an arcade fairly

1399
01:34:56.399 --> 01:35:00.319
easy, because that's just lighting game. Sure. I don't think that would

1400
01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:02.319
be that difficult. And I think
the major problem is no one wants to

1401
01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:08.319
play arcade games in their house.
That was the only problem with the WIU.

1402
01:35:09.279 --> 01:35:13.920
That's right, that was the only
problem they had going there. I

1403
01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:18.159
think, Uh, I'm now I'm
in sixty four brain right now, blast

1404
01:35:18.239 --> 01:35:23.840
core. But it's like that we
were going with Sega again, that Sega

1405
01:35:24.039 --> 01:35:32.079
hologram game that they had, Oh
White Dome tis Time Time Fuelers. Someone's

1406
01:35:32.119 --> 01:35:35.600
gonna get it and chet time boys. Yeah, but you see it's like

1407
01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:40.079
you can look down on top of
the little truck running into the buildings and

1408
01:35:40.239 --> 01:35:43.199
the buildings blow up and they're all
little holograms. I would dig that as

1409
01:35:43.239 --> 01:35:45.279
well, probably, Yeah, Time
Fuelers, that's right, that's what it's

1410
01:35:45.319 --> 01:35:48.479
called. What the hell was it
called? They were like weird like three

1411
01:35:48.600 --> 01:35:54.680
D shapes too, like everything was
behind a cylinder or something like a like

1412
01:35:54.760 --> 01:35:58.359
a very nineties trapper keeper looking kind
of thing. I'm gonna have to look

1413
01:35:58.359 --> 01:36:00.800
it up. Beau Chat's not Chat
doesn't have our back here. This is

1414
01:36:00.880 --> 01:36:06.560
a it was right right. It
was like it was like that weird it's

1415
01:36:06.600 --> 01:36:10.640
just like that dome. It was
like a white dome, right, yeah,

1416
01:36:10.760 --> 01:36:15.359
yeah, the white the like it
was like this white box hexagon thing,

1417
01:36:15.720 --> 01:36:17.000
and then it had like what looked
like a dome, but I think

1418
01:36:17.000 --> 01:36:19.560
it was actually you're like looking down
in a concave thing, and then the

1419
01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:26.960
mirrors were creating the illusion of the
the holograms. Hologram game. I think

1420
01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:30.439
it's just called Time Traveler. M
M yeah, yeah, there it is.

1421
01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:32.600
I'll share a picture, right,
have y'all seen? Uh? This

1422
01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:36.039
thing was so cool. I was
thinking the kids need to get into DDR

1423
01:36:36.159 --> 01:36:40.000
in a mad way. But then
the kids are playing this other dance game

1424
01:36:40.239 --> 01:36:43.279
where I don't understand how any of
it works because they're all just shuffling around

1425
01:36:43.319 --> 01:36:46.000
a big ass pad and doing fun
little tricks. I don't understand it at

1426
01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:50.039
all. I saw that too,
and I was very confused because it's not

1427
01:36:50.079 --> 01:36:54.479
the one where it's like DDR,
but it's the diagonal corners, which I'm

1428
01:36:54.520 --> 01:36:59.880
also against. That's that's blasphemy.
But the just move around dancing freestyle,

1429
01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:01.000
well, at least that's what it
looked like to me. It didn't make

1430
01:37:01.000 --> 01:37:04.560
any sense. Dance Rush, yes, that is what the game came about.

1431
01:37:05.640 --> 01:37:10.000
I'm not good at rhythm games anyway. I can kind of do a

1432
01:37:10.079 --> 01:37:14.119
guitar hero because I got to use
that ten year of violin training somehow.

1433
01:37:14.800 --> 01:37:19.000
But I can't move my physical body. The best I can do is my

1434
01:37:19.119 --> 01:37:24.039
beat saber machine my oculus too that
I want in a raffle. I can

1435
01:37:24.159 --> 01:37:28.079
do a beat saber alone in the
privacy of my own home. But the

1436
01:37:28.239 --> 01:37:32.600
idea of going out in public and
moving my body for points, no,

1437
01:37:33.880 --> 01:37:36.359
I think we should just get rid
of all of them. If I can't

1438
01:37:36.439 --> 01:37:40.399
enjoy it, no one can.
It seems fair. But this makes me

1439
01:37:40.520 --> 01:37:43.720
want to do DDR for extra life. But that's a terrible idea because I

1440
01:37:43.760 --> 01:37:45.159
can't do that. I could do
it for like an hour and a half

1441
01:37:45.279 --> 01:37:47.720
maybe, but if I try to
do that for like ten hours, I

1442
01:37:47.760 --> 01:37:55.520
would die. I will gladly move
my body for points. Yeah, I'm

1443
01:37:55.600 --> 01:37:59.560
always looking for an excuse to dance. I don't dance enough in my life,

1444
01:37:59.760 --> 01:38:02.119
you know what? Okay, all
right, all right, Next email,

1445
01:38:02.439 --> 01:38:06.359
let's hear no I want to know
what. Oh I was gonna say

1446
01:38:06.399 --> 01:38:09.800
that for the end of the show. Okay, cool, okay, okay,

1447
01:38:09.840 --> 01:38:13.039
all right, all right. Next
email is a fun little quiz.

1448
01:38:13.600 --> 01:38:16.399
Are you all ready for this fun
little quiz? Certainly quiz I've never been

1449
01:38:16.439 --> 01:38:19.840
already. Let's do it, Hey, Bombers, I know you like a

1450
01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:24.680
good multiple choice quiz on a silly
topic, So here's one for your Tuesday.

1451
01:38:25.159 --> 01:38:30.880
Each of the twelve movies listed below
stars one of Nicholas Cage, Bruce

1452
01:38:30.920 --> 01:38:35.239
Willis or Steven Sagall. Can you
assign the correct actor to the movie based

1453
01:38:35.279 --> 01:38:40.239
on the title and one sentence summary. I set it up so each question,

1454
01:38:40.720 --> 01:38:44.840
each of the actors stars in four
of the movies. Man, my

1455
01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:47.640
strategy was going to be to say
Steven Sagall for all of them. Well,

1456
01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:50.279
you'll be right four times. That's
a good point, all right,

1457
01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:54.079
see, which sounds like it'll make
things easier, but it won't. Votus

1458
01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:57.640
question and answers are below. I
ask everyone looking at the doc right now

1459
01:38:57.800 --> 01:39:01.119
not to read the highlighted section.
So number one movie title is the perfect

1460
01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:05.560
weapon. An elite assassin fails to
terminate his target, and he finds himself

1461
01:39:05.600 --> 01:39:11.800
on the run from the organization that
employs him. I have to go with

1462
01:39:11.840 --> 01:39:14.800
Steven Sagall for this one. Yeah, but you know what, like that's

1463
01:39:14.840 --> 01:39:17.399
the the I don't think it's Cage. I think we could safely rule out

1464
01:39:17.520 --> 01:39:26.239
Cage. But but Bruce Willis then
later in his Christianity the like a thousands,

1465
01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:30.159
but all side with grub here and
I'll err on the side of Segal.

1466
01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:35.319
I feel like I'm I'm least familiar
with Steven Sigall's overra uh. So

1467
01:39:35.600 --> 01:39:39.520
any movie where I'm like, I
have no idea what that is, my

1468
01:39:39.720 --> 01:39:43.640
instinct is to guess Steven them.
I could see the names of all these

1469
01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:46.279
movies. Yeah, I've heard of
none of these, so I'm guessing.

1470
01:39:46.359 --> 01:39:49.479
I think they all are Steven Sagall. I think that we're being lied to,

1471
01:39:51.119 --> 01:39:58.520
and you're all correct. Steven Sagall. Uh steven Sagall as the director

1472
01:39:58.640 --> 01:40:01.760
who is the head of the organization. It costs six million to make and

1473
01:40:01.880 --> 01:40:08.119
got fifteen million in box office earnings
this year. That came out a negative,

1474
01:40:08.600 --> 01:40:12.079
okay, because I love those ones
where he's like older and like it's

1475
01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:15.560
stevens Sagall on the cover. But
then they just get some random Hollywood like

1476
01:40:15.680 --> 01:40:17.399
young dude who's like, you know, dlast celebrity to be the actual star

1477
01:40:17.439 --> 01:40:20.239
who does all the running around,
and Steven Sagal sits in a chair for

1478
01:40:20.359 --> 01:40:24.159
most of the movie. It's great. A good things got going on.

1479
01:40:24.880 --> 01:40:28.880
Number two, Hard Kill. The
star of this movie hires a mercenary team

1480
01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:34.199
to rescue his hostage daughter and recover
unspecified advanced technology. Okay, I haven't

1481
01:40:34.239 --> 01:40:38.560
heard of this one either, but
based on the fact that there is a

1482
01:40:38.640 --> 01:40:42.680
daughter being held hostage, I'm going
Bruce willis that's a good point. But

1483
01:40:43.000 --> 01:40:45.640
for something, I think the advanced
technology is very Nick Cage coded. So

1484
01:40:45.720 --> 01:40:48.880
I'm gonna go with hard hard kill
please, or for Nick Cage for hard

1485
01:40:48.960 --> 01:40:59.640
kill Backlar. It does feel like
cage is the knee jerk reaction. Here

1486
01:40:59.800 --> 01:41:02.560
is what I'm going with. I
gotta go with my gut. So it's

1487
01:41:02.600 --> 01:41:08.800
a cage situation, Bailey wins.
It's a Bruce Willie joint. It may

1488
01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:15.119
Bailey. It's made well done.
It's just like a lot of a lot

1489
01:41:15.159 --> 01:41:16.800
of kids getting kidnapped in his movies. I don't know what to tell you,

1490
01:41:17.039 --> 01:41:24.000
right, Yeah, it made one
hundred thousand dollars box office against him

1491
01:41:24.359 --> 01:41:29.439
the budget, against an unspecified budget. Yeah. Well, when you when

1492
01:41:29.479 --> 01:41:34.359
you get played on two screens,
I don't think you're exactly uh during Could

1493
01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:39.760
you think we could make a movie
and put on two b to be yes?

1494
01:41:39.880 --> 01:41:42.119
Come on, all right, of
course we could? Okay? Cool?

1495
01:41:42.840 --> 01:41:45.880
Number three American Siege. A sheriff
is put in charge of taking down

1496
01:41:45.920 --> 01:41:53.880
a gang of thieves who have taken
a wealthy doctor hostage. So I my

1497
01:41:54.039 --> 01:41:57.960
gut tells me Segal because he's so
horny to be a cop, That dumb

1498
01:41:58.159 --> 01:42:02.359
fucking idiot wants to be a cop
so stupidly badly. It's like he did

1499
01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:09.760
like a whole reality TV show where
like some batshit crazy precinct in Florida or

1500
01:42:09.800 --> 01:42:12.920
something like gave him a badge,
and I almost think they gave him a

1501
01:42:13.079 --> 01:42:15.119
gun too, and they're just sort
of like, hey, can you just,

1502
01:42:15.239 --> 01:42:20.600
like Steven Sagal your ass all around
this Alligator County and fucking Florida or

1503
01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:23.800
something. I don't know, I
could be making some of that up.

1504
01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:29.199
I gotta think it's him, and
he's like the oh he's got it.

1505
01:42:29.880 --> 01:42:32.960
I gotta think it's Segal. I
can't see Bruce Willis doing that. Yeah.

1506
01:42:33.119 --> 01:42:38.520
The thing for me is American siege, and that makes it sound like

1507
01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:44.000
there's gonna be some a patriotism there
that I think Steven Saga would be like,

1508
01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:47.840
Oh yeah, that's what I'm all
about. I'm in agreement with the

1509
01:42:47.880 --> 01:42:53.279
Fellas. I could see it being
a Bruce Willis though, but I'm gonna

1510
01:42:53.279 --> 01:43:00.399
say, Steven Sagal, it is
indeed a Bruce Willis joint. Whoa damn

1511
01:43:00.600 --> 01:43:03.399
Bruce? I mean, is it
a recent one? Yes, it's a

1512
01:43:03.479 --> 01:43:06.960
recent one. Yeah, yeah,
I mean, you know this is fair

1513
01:43:08.000 --> 01:43:12.880
to Bruce Willa. This is bullshit. I even feel I even feel bad

1514
01:43:13.039 --> 01:43:17.159
kind of talking about it. But
he would definitely be my distance second pick

1515
01:43:17.239 --> 01:43:20.079
on that one where I we're like
cage. I just don't see doing that

1516
01:43:20.279 --> 01:43:25.239
for sure. Its budget was ten
million, and it earned one hundred and

1517
01:43:25.319 --> 01:43:29.840
twenty thousand box office. All right, cool, very good? All right?

1518
01:43:30.119 --> 01:43:34.880
Number four Kill Chain three strangers lives
are inevitably entangled any conflict. None

1519
01:43:34.880 --> 01:43:41.119
of them are prepared for. Okay, this sounds vague enough and high concept

1520
01:43:41.760 --> 01:43:47.680
enough that I'm going Cage actually one
million, absolutely cage ding ding ding ding.

1521
01:43:47.960 --> 01:43:53.760
Y'all right, yes, let's go
kill Chane kill Change. You're right,

1522
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:57.960
Bailly kill. Chain is too complex
of a title for the other two

1523
01:43:58.119 --> 01:44:05.359
to have participate. Iners lives are
dangerous. Stephen would absolutely never share the

1524
01:44:05.439 --> 01:44:12.920
stage with two strangers. Exactly complexity
that this role demanded could only be satisfied

1525
01:44:12.960 --> 01:44:17.880
by Nicholas Cage. Budget was undisclosed
and it released direct the video Good for

1526
01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:23.079
You Number five, Keep in mining. We have twelve here, a former

1527
01:44:23.239 --> 01:44:29.840
de e A and c I,
a agent. The same guy is tasked

1528
01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:36.199
with stopping a deal between al Qaeda
and the Mexican cartel. But that's the

1529
01:44:36.279 --> 01:44:41.520
thing, right, The wild card
is always Bruce willis right, because definitely

1530
01:44:41.880 --> 01:44:45.039
the tragic making choices here. My
god, I just saw the name of

1531
01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:51.720
the next okay with willis a close
second. Okay, uh, this was

1532
01:44:51.800 --> 01:44:58.560
Contract to Kill. You're right Steven
Seagal, who emailer says, I'm sorry

1533
01:44:58.640 --> 01:45:03.039
to say it has a sex scene
this movie. Oh any wait? Is

1534
01:45:03.119 --> 01:45:08.520
this so someone? I don't know
how this started circulating in the giant bomb

1535
01:45:08.680 --> 01:45:13.119
community, but like someone sent that
Steven Sigal cometown thing around. Have you

1536
01:45:13.159 --> 01:45:15.720
guys ever seen that? I have, yes, No, And I think

1537
01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:18.520
that movie is the one you're talking
about with the sex scene where like they

1538
01:45:18.600 --> 01:45:24.680
made some poor young actress have to
have like on screens and that's sit in

1539
01:45:24.720 --> 01:45:27.159
a chair for most of the movie. Yeah, dude, the way he

1540
01:45:27.319 --> 01:45:30.479
like holds a gun is so sick. How he's just sort of like casually.

1541
01:45:31.039 --> 01:45:36.079
There's so many amazing things in that
fucking video. I highly recommend watching

1542
01:45:36.159 --> 01:45:43.239
that. But my god, it
can anyone wanted to. Okay, so

1543
01:45:43.319 --> 01:45:45.319
I'll tell you all the budget you
want to get the box office for Contract

1544
01:45:45.359 --> 01:45:49.840
to Kill? Is it okay than
a million dollars budget? You can't like?

1545
01:45:50.119 --> 01:45:55.680
Okay, go ahead? Twenty thousand
dollars budget was five million? Okay,

1546
01:45:56.359 --> 01:46:00.840
box office? Any guesses I was
going to say, yeah, okay,

1547
01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:04.560
sure, yeah, I'll split the
difference. Forty seven thousand dollars in

1548
01:46:04.640 --> 01:46:11.600
box Oh that's so fucking out of
control. Here's the thing though, right,

1549
01:46:11.800 --> 01:46:15.960
I wasn't even close. Isn't even
real, Like it's not even a

1550
01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:17.720
thing. It is a thing,
now, I guess, But like I

1551
01:46:17.840 --> 01:46:20.520
feel like for movies like this,
it's not even a thing. It's like

1552
01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:27.000
they're making all their money overseas from
some streaming or like some weird rend in

1553
01:46:27.079 --> 01:46:31.479
a hotel somewhere like Dollar Tree DVD
s exactly straight to Dollar Tree. Baby,

1554
01:46:31.560 --> 01:46:39.560
that's what's happening. Number six,
end of a gun a d A

1555
01:46:39.800 --> 01:46:47.079
agent. This game is not fun
by they. I'm no longer having fun

1556
01:46:47.119 --> 01:46:50.439
with this. We have one more
Quizred, we have another quiz this email.

1557
01:46:51.159 --> 01:46:56.560
A DA agent stops domestic abuse via
murder and becomes entangled in a plot

1558
01:46:56.640 --> 01:47:00.920
to stay two million from the drug
lord. So many If this is screaming

1559
01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:03.279
Sagall, then I feel like it
can't begall right. It's like it's like

1560
01:47:03.319 --> 01:47:05.680
a it's a misdirection. Yeah,
it's Red harring. I'm gonna go with

1561
01:47:05.760 --> 01:47:11.199
Bruce Willis, dude, by the
logic of look, by the logic of

1562
01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:15.039
like this test and like the way
the answers have shaken out like a smart

1563
01:47:15.079 --> 01:47:18.600
test taker would probably take Willis based
on what's happened before. So I will

1564
01:47:18.720 --> 01:47:26.520
side with mister grubby grubb Bailey.
It's agent right there. I know,

1565
01:47:26.720 --> 01:47:29.279
like the proof's right there, but
it's you know, I get it.

1566
01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:35.520
Yeah, Bailey is correct again.
Wow, no Wing, no financial figures

1567
01:47:35.560 --> 01:47:41.800
have been disclosed for the film,
but clearly they think two million is a

1568
01:47:41.920 --> 01:47:48.720
huge sum of money. Uh Seven
Vengeance a love story a police officer that

1569
01:47:49.159 --> 01:47:54.960
that okay, I'm just saying.
Cigal is out with love. A police

1570
01:47:55.000 --> 01:48:00.640
officer goes on a vigilante rampage after
the court fails to convict rapists. I

1571
01:48:00.720 --> 01:48:04.359
think it's I think it's Cage.
This vengeance a love story, screams a

1572
01:48:04.640 --> 01:48:12.359
script that Nicholas Cage would pick up. Go absolutely, yeah you could Cage.

1573
01:48:13.039 --> 01:48:16.760
Y'all are correct. Vengeance a love
story is Nicholas Cage. Hell yeah.

1574
01:48:17.119 --> 01:48:20.680
Budget is unknown, but made seventy
three thousand dollars box office. I'm

1575
01:48:20.800 --> 01:48:27.680
sure it did worth every one of
those dollars. Number eight Detective Night Colon

1576
01:48:27.920 --> 01:48:33.079
Redemption. Wait wait is it like
Detective Night as in Night? Is this

1577
01:48:33.239 --> 01:48:42.199
detective's last name? Or is this
like Knight, like like kNN An imprisoned

1578
01:48:42.279 --> 01:48:47.399
police officer agrees to thwart Christmas theve
terrorists to reinstate himself into the force.

1579
01:48:49.079 --> 01:48:54.479
This is clearly Bruce Willis. Yeah, this is like the worst version of

1580
01:48:54.640 --> 01:49:00.119
Diehard I've ever fucking Oh, audio
listeners can't see me by a look that

1581
01:49:00.279 --> 01:49:05.399
the answer description and put my hands
to my mouth and suck side with the

1582
01:49:05.439 --> 01:49:09.720
group. I don't want to know. Yes, indeed it is a Bruce

1583
01:49:09.760 --> 01:49:15.800
Willis joint. In the second entry
of the Detective Night series. Oh,

1584
01:49:16.880 --> 01:49:23.359
budget box office earnings were one hundred
ninety two thousand dollars. All right,

1585
01:49:23.399 --> 01:49:29.600
then where's the where's the Detective Knight
series streets? So we've had we've had

1586
01:49:30.159 --> 01:49:39.319
three cigars, three Willises, two
cages, y'all, y'all. The Detective

1587
01:49:39.399 --> 01:49:46.479
Knight is a trilogy. No,
it's trilogy. Yeah, with Detective Night

1588
01:49:46.560 --> 01:49:53.720
Independence that came out this year.
No, No it didn't. Yes,

1589
01:49:53.800 --> 01:49:59.560
two of them came out in the
same year. Are doing Yeah, they

1590
01:49:59.600 --> 01:50:01.279
probably accorded. They probably filmed most
of a couple of years ago. And

1591
01:50:01.359 --> 01:50:04.840
then they're just like or they're just
like, we can we shot enough,

1592
01:50:04.960 --> 01:50:09.960
we have enough coverage, we can
make too, Yes, all right,

1593
01:50:10.359 --> 01:50:15.560
we need to make sense. Last
four here Sniper Special Ops. An elite

1594
01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:23.439
sniper gets stuck behind enemy lines while
fighting the Taliban. Because I'll tell you

1595
01:50:23.520 --> 01:50:27.880
why. It's segal. Because a
sniper barely has to move, and that

1596
01:50:28.079 --> 01:50:30.560
is exactly why Steven is like,
I'm gonna perch my ass up here for

1597
01:50:30.760 --> 01:50:35.720
fucking seven days and collect the sixty
thousand dollars prey check without having to break

1598
01:50:35.800 --> 01:50:40.880
a sweat. That's exactly why this
is Steven Siaga. I'm sorry even if

1599
01:50:40.920 --> 01:50:50.439
I'm wrong, I'm right. I'm
Stevenaga as well. Steven for your service.

1600
01:50:50.880 --> 01:50:56.399
No financial figures released, but you'll
be happy to know that gives the

1601
01:50:56.479 --> 01:51:03.319
Taliban leader an ironic death of the
film cot Number one, I don't I

1602
01:51:03.359 --> 01:51:08.840
don't feel like I need to investigate
that. Yeah, good info, good

1603
01:51:08.880 --> 01:51:12.039
info, Yes, yes, yes, I just get it up. I'm

1604
01:51:12.039 --> 01:51:15.760
sorry. Just like Steven Segal huffing
and puffing while not having to move an

1605
01:51:15.880 --> 01:51:21.439
inch behind a sniper scope. I
promise he probably like does some like tactical

1606
01:51:21.560 --> 01:51:28.199
like rolls on his side or whatever, and he just like moves the side

1607
01:51:28.239 --> 01:51:31.199
like a couple of inches. Oh
that there. I mean. I'm all

1608
01:51:31.319 --> 01:51:35.159
again speaking through the lens of having
seen that Cometown video, but like it's

1609
01:51:35.319 --> 01:51:40.239
so funny to me, Oh my
god, I'm terrified. I don't have

1610
01:51:40.319 --> 01:51:43.039
the context for something. You have
to see this video. You have to

1611
01:51:43.960 --> 01:51:48.800
thank you right now. Number ten
stolen A thief must rescue his daughter from

1612
01:51:48.800 --> 01:51:54.239
the clutches of one of his former
teammates. Yep, I'm gonna go boost

1613
01:51:54.239 --> 01:51:59.760
Bruce Willis. Yeah. I like
that he does love to rescue his stolen

1614
01:51:59.840 --> 01:52:05.680
dog. Yep, Nicholas Cage.
Wow, Okay, okay, wild card

1615
01:52:05.760 --> 01:52:09.760
Bruce Willis there. We okay,
So Nick Cage, Yeah, I could

1616
01:52:09.760 --> 01:52:13.000
see Nick Cage doing that one too. Actually, this is one of the

1617
01:52:13.159 --> 01:52:16.159
Taken ripoffs. Budget was thirty five, but it made eighteen at box office.

1618
01:52:16.199 --> 01:52:20.079
All right, last two here,
okay, So one of these has

1619
01:52:20.119 --> 01:52:23.920
got to be Nicholas Cage and one
of these has got to be Bruce Willis

1620
01:52:23.960 --> 01:52:28.119
that he seems like it right.
The map checks out. Pay the Ghost.

1621
01:52:29.279 --> 01:52:31.720
The star's son is abducted by a
ghost and he was solved a mystery

1622
01:52:31.760 --> 01:52:36.560
to get his son back before he's
gone for good. I like this for

1623
01:52:36.720 --> 01:52:42.800
Cage. I like this for Cage
just because like Cage, like I've never

1624
01:52:42.840 --> 01:52:45.840
worked with the ghost before. I'm
gonna go with Willis because I think this

1625
01:52:46.000 --> 01:52:49.319
is a six sense sort of thing
where they're like, we're gonna get some

1626
01:52:49.439 --> 01:52:56.039
of that juice going Bailey. I
just I'm looking at this one and the

1627
01:52:56.079 --> 01:53:00.319
one after in China. Decide which
one feels and which one. No,

1628
01:53:00.399 --> 01:53:01.880
it didn't know it isn't. I'm
just I'm not looking at the at the

1629
01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:05.119
answers, but I'm looking at the
two remaining ones and trying to figure out

1630
01:53:05.319 --> 01:53:09.560
which one seems more Willis and which
one seems more Cage. And honestly,

1631
01:53:09.880 --> 01:53:15.720
I think that this one, to
me seems more modern day Cage. Okay,

1632
01:53:15.920 --> 01:53:20.079
back, I said Cage, grub
word you land, I said,

1633
01:53:20.119 --> 01:53:30.119
Bruce Willis. It is indeed Nicholas
Cage. Oh, the ghost financial figures

1634
01:53:30.199 --> 01:53:38.920
were also one truly unhinged. Actually, all right, number twelve? The

1635
01:53:39.119 --> 01:53:45.119
fuck is? It's movie title?
Cosmic sin. He disgraced martian general known

1636
01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:48.159
for dropping a cube bomb in civilians, and now he must stop an alien

1637
01:53:48.239 --> 01:53:54.039
invasion. Well, the answer is
Bruce Willis. Budget was not released,

1638
01:53:54.039 --> 01:53:58.760
but the movie made three hundred and
fifty thousand box office. A little bonus

1639
01:53:58.880 --> 01:54:01.640
fact here, and thank you you
Matt in Colorado for putting this quiz together.

1640
01:54:02.239 --> 01:54:11.600
All for steven Sagall movies were released
in twenty sixteen. Incredible, then,

1641
01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:15.359
God, what a good note God, So Prince has played a Martian

1642
01:54:15.760 --> 01:54:21.840
general. Yeah, this looks like
what is it called? Sound like a

1643
01:54:23.000 --> 01:54:27.359
movie that the person who signed on
for like signed on for with agency?

1644
01:54:28.640 --> 01:54:31.319
What was it again? Yes?
Who is the decision I made there?

1645
01:54:31.399 --> 01:54:34.119
Where I was like, I think
even Nicholas Cage would pass on this one.

1646
01:54:35.199 --> 01:54:40.239
This came out in twenty twenty one. It's available on Netflix right now.

1647
01:54:40.319 --> 01:54:42.640
Oh my god, it's a total
like the front of it looks like

1648
01:54:42.760 --> 01:54:45.199
Edge of Tomorrow. Oh no,
wait, what is this again? What

1649
01:54:45.239 --> 01:54:48.840
does it? Casmic skin, cosmic
sin, Get the fuck out of here,

1650
01:54:50.319 --> 01:54:56.560
like Frank Rillo of course, Frank
by this ship? Oh dear lord.

1651
01:54:56.840 --> 01:54:59.880
Oh this also has c. J. Perry, better known as Lana,

1652
01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:05.800
formerly a WWE superstar. They spend
money on this, well on the

1653
01:55:06.079 --> 01:55:14.159
posters. Oh, it's got all
that six percent this. I'm already blown

1654
01:55:14.239 --> 01:55:17.119
away at the production value of this
thing. It looks like a Sci Fi

1655
01:55:17.199 --> 01:55:19.960
Channel original to me. Oh,
I think it looks better than that.

1656
01:55:21.319 --> 01:55:25.880
I don't know. Sci Fi's got
some pretty good originals. I'm blown away.

1657
01:55:26.319 --> 01:55:30.359
Uh Jesus, I cannot believe this
is real? What is what is

1658
01:55:30.479 --> 01:55:33.079
movie making? What is film?
What is anything? We're happy to announce

1659
01:55:33.199 --> 01:55:40.439
we're releasing our Criterion collection featuring all
of these movies. Please buy the box,

1660
01:55:41.199 --> 01:55:45.479
do you know who made Cosmic sen
the director or no, the production

1661
01:55:45.600 --> 01:55:50.119
company. No, Saban, the
company. Didn't they do Turtles too?

1662
01:55:51.800 --> 01:55:55.119
Saban, I don't know how to
say it. Yes they did, but

1663
01:55:55.199 --> 01:55:59.119
they did do the Power Ranger stuff. Well, you know after like you

1664
01:55:59.479 --> 01:56:01.680
you brought back the Green Ranger?
Is the White Ranger? Where else can

1665
01:56:01.760 --> 01:56:08.119
you go? That's right? All
right, a couple more emails, folks,

1666
01:56:08.319 --> 01:56:13.000
if you'll bear with me here,
dear bomblins, I noticed this during

1667
01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:15.720
last week's BombCast and thought it was
worth pointing out. Starting for the first

1668
01:56:15.760 --> 01:56:19.640
moment, Jan says, hey,
at the start of the show, it

1669
01:56:19.720 --> 01:56:25.199
takes Mike four minutes and thirty six
seconds to bring up Disney unprompted, but

1670
01:56:25.319 --> 01:56:29.520
it only took Dan one minute and
eleven seconds to bring up wrestling. Love

1671
01:56:29.640 --> 01:56:34.439
y'all, Zach. Interesting? So
what do we learn from that? Wrestling

1672
01:56:34.560 --> 01:56:38.840
is everywhere? That Mike has a
tiny bit more shame? I think?

1673
01:56:38.920 --> 01:56:43.119
Is what that is? Just a
tiny bit more well maybe not? Well,

1674
01:56:43.279 --> 01:56:47.000
yeah, no, because like he
occasionally feels scolded, and you can't

1675
01:56:47.039 --> 01:56:51.439
scold Dan. No one's ever scolded
Dan. That would explain a lot,

1676
01:56:51.560 --> 01:56:56.640
though. Yeah, yeah, I
feel like I could go a week without

1677
01:56:56.760 --> 01:57:01.840
bringing up hockey. You've gone a
week's bringing up hockey or keyboards or keyboards?

1678
01:57:02.000 --> 01:57:04.640
Right? Yeah? Does that just
mean I'm like more interesting or what

1679
01:57:04.720 --> 01:57:14.000
do you think? Hmm? I
think you have multiple things you're into,

1680
01:57:14.079 --> 01:57:16.760
because we also could have lumped in
pinball. I don't remember the last time

1681
01:57:16.800 --> 01:57:19.760
you brought up pinball, and I
just got two new games the other day.

1682
01:57:19.880 --> 01:57:26.560
Have not mentioned a word there you
go? Okay, what's another vague

1683
01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:30.800
thing? Like grub and ironto Bailey
goose bumps, your cat hurting your eyeballs?

1684
01:57:31.319 --> 01:57:34.319
Listen, I'm so good. I
love to talk about all these things,

1685
01:57:34.640 --> 01:57:39.279
but I feel like it would be
crazy if I didn't talk about my

1686
01:57:39.399 --> 01:57:46.239
cats regularly. Look at that little
sleep but you can't see is the other

1687
01:57:46.319 --> 01:57:50.960
one is asleep right next to him, just out of frame? Okay?

1688
01:57:51.680 --> 01:57:57.279
Some even info from Joey Gil's the
director of Kasuk Sin also did the Detective

1689
01:57:57.359 --> 01:58:00.520
Night movies and American Siege, along
with a few more of the recent Willis

1690
01:58:00.600 --> 01:58:05.319
movies. That's you think, that's
that's kind of money, right, Like?

1691
01:58:05.439 --> 01:58:09.560
But is that a decent gig?
Like you think? Yeah? I

1692
01:58:09.640 --> 01:58:12.000
mean, clearly they have a business
model that's working, that's why they keep

1693
01:58:12.039 --> 01:58:14.880
doing it over and over again.
And they probably have like a couple of

1694
01:58:15.000 --> 01:58:17.199
investors who financed like all these movies, and they get enough on the return

1695
01:58:17.319 --> 01:58:21.159
they're finally we're gonna do Dentists love
to like just fund movies that are bullshit?

1696
01:58:21.439 --> 01:58:27.760
Right? How do I con someone
into filming or funding a movie?

1697
01:58:27.840 --> 01:58:31.119
Huh? I mean it happens literally
every second of every day. Sorry,

1698
01:58:31.199 --> 01:58:39.680
I don't mean con uh vincent.
Okay, convince convinced, you know the

1699
01:58:39.800 --> 01:58:45.600
thing that has nothing to do with
the term con confidence. But yeah,

1700
01:58:45.840 --> 01:58:47.239
yeah, totally, yeah, baby, yeah, yeah, you know,

1701
01:58:47.399 --> 01:58:51.880
you know you're charming enough to pull
it off. Jan So yeah, I

1702
01:58:53.039 --> 01:58:55.039
just got to have a good pitch. You have to have a good pitch,

1703
01:58:55.159 --> 01:58:58.840
man, you know yourself a show
Bible, movie, bible, whatever

1704
01:58:58.880 --> 01:59:00.840
it is, and go for it. I'll just bring like a blank book.

1705
01:59:01.000 --> 01:59:06.079
This also reminds me of my book
idea. Anyway, who'd you say?

1706
01:59:06.159 --> 01:59:11.079
Did you say you're going to bring
a blank book? Which reminds me

1707
01:59:11.159 --> 01:59:14.880
of my book idea? Wait?
I want to know more about this.

1708
01:59:15.000 --> 01:59:18.920
Are you going into publishers and being
like, imagine this fulfilled with all right,

1709
01:59:19.399 --> 01:59:24.800
free idea, free idea, here
and then I may or may not

1710
01:59:25.039 --> 01:59:29.680
have been uh low key pressuring our
one, our own friend of the side,

1711
01:59:29.720 --> 01:59:32.079
friend, friend of the show.
I'm a fife of like, Hey,

1712
01:59:32.199 --> 01:59:34.960
you know, I know, I
know that your partner deals with books

1713
01:59:35.000 --> 01:59:39.840
and stuff. What about uh you
let me publish a book about the Quiet

1714
01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:45.279
Man and it's just two hundred blank
pages? Oh okay, boy, cut

1715
01:59:45.319 --> 01:59:49.119
the check. Come on, tell
me that is afraid it's just a diary.

1716
01:59:49.239 --> 01:59:54.079
You're selling a diary. No,
no, it's purposely blank with page

1717
01:59:54.159 --> 01:59:59.560
numbers. Anyway, everything the question
heard. You should actlutely have like reviews

1718
01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:01.680
on the back. Yeah, oh
yeah, I can do the forward,

1719
02:00:01.840 --> 02:00:06.239
rivoting front to back. Yeah yeah, yeah, I'll I'll get Dave Bautista

1720
02:00:06.319 --> 02:00:13.960
to write the forward. Alex Bonni
yella, oh yeah yeah, uh man,

1721
02:00:14.279 --> 02:00:18.279
I wouldn't for my wife's family.
Just met Dave Bautista yesterday. What

1722
02:00:18.800 --> 02:00:23.279
that's cool? On a ride at
Disney World. Did they did they talk

1723
02:00:23.319 --> 02:00:26.640
about me? Yeah? I think
they mentioned you. They're what's chair up

1724
02:00:26.680 --> 02:00:29.479
to? Just hanging out with Jeff
mostly and then he said I'm sorry to

1725
02:00:29.520 --> 02:00:32.319
hear that. So yeah, they're
out there for make the make a Wish

1726
02:00:32.399 --> 02:00:35.079
brought people brought him out there,
and then they got to uh, they're

1727
02:00:35.079 --> 02:00:38.359
on the right, and like it
wasn't like, oh, meet Dave Bautista.

1728
02:00:38.560 --> 02:00:40.439
He just happened to be on the
ride behind him with his family.

1729
02:00:40.560 --> 02:00:43.920
Was very nice apparently, So shout
out to shout out to Dave. All

1730
02:00:44.039 --> 02:00:46.439
Right, my new lofty goal in
twenty twenty four, besides getting an actual

1731
02:00:46.479 --> 02:00:49.960
company to cut the check, is
to just to just take a picture of

1732
02:00:50.039 --> 02:00:54.039
Dave Bautista. That's all that we
could probably make it. That's doable.

1733
02:00:55.239 --> 02:00:58.720
Yeah, the Game Awards. He
maybe he will be at the Game Awards.

1734
02:00:59.000 --> 02:01:00.640
Culia, Dave, it's you,
your favorite, it's your pen Sun,

1735
02:01:01.319 --> 02:01:05.840
it's your favorite cousin. We're probably
related somehow. We're all related.

1736
02:01:08.239 --> 02:01:10.600
God, I just want to shake
some ring ropes right now. Anyway,

1737
02:01:10.760 --> 02:01:13.920
last email of the show. Once
again, you can send your emails to

1738
02:01:14.000 --> 02:01:18.039
BombCast giant bomb dot com. This
is another quick mini quiz, Hey bombers

1739
02:01:18.680 --> 02:01:24.479
right. Cooper in San Jose writes, a lot of games come out,

1740
02:01:24.800 --> 02:01:28.600
arguably too many, so it only
makes sense for some games to fall out

1741
02:01:28.680 --> 02:01:30.960
of our memory too. Well,
today is the day you're all being put

1742
02:01:31.039 --> 02:01:33.680
to the test. I have a
list of ten games for you, all

1743
02:01:34.720 --> 02:01:39.840
all released since the PS three three
sixty generation, and I want to see

1744
02:01:39.880 --> 02:01:43.560
how many of them you can remember. Here's the list, and this is

1745
02:01:43.720 --> 02:01:48.319
simple. Do you remember it or
not? First game from Dust? Yes,

1746
02:01:50.840 --> 02:01:54.479
this is just the one that was
like that weird animated one that came

1747
02:01:54.520 --> 02:01:57.479
out like just a couple of years
ago or recently. I have no idea

1748
02:01:57.680 --> 02:02:01.840
know that you're talking about, like
the of the visual expositional one. Are

1749
02:02:01.880 --> 02:02:05.119
you thinking Dust an Elysian tale?
No, I'm not thinking of that.

1750
02:02:05.439 --> 02:02:10.000
I would have said Fury's way earlier
in my explanation if that was the case.

1751
02:02:10.960 --> 02:02:16.399
What is this one? Then?

1864
02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:20.640
It's delicious. I thought you were
saying it wasn't a flavor now and

1865
02:11:20.720 --> 02:11:24.039
I was like, no, it
definitely is. Yes, I mean you

1866
02:11:24.119 --> 02:11:28.880

02:11:28.960 --> 02:11:35.399
have a problem with garlic and onion

02:11:39.760 --> 02:11:41.399
just thays are like it's weird.
It's like okay, but it's not.

1870
02:11:41.640 --> 02:11:46.479
It's a good thing. I got
like cashews the other day that were everything

1871
02:11:46.840 --> 02:11:50.760
flavored and they were phenomenal. I
think bagel. Sorry, go ahead,

1872
02:11:50.840 --> 02:11:58.159
jam, we got too many truffle
flavored things. I also a really breast

1873
02:11:58.520 --> 02:12:01.119
wrong statement as well. But where
were you when we got overloaded on truffle

1874
02:12:01.159 --> 02:12:07.560
flavored items? Fok's what we got
going on this week? Video games,

1875
02:12:09.359 --> 02:12:13.359
many video games. Well, the
new Honest game trailer dropped an hour and

1876
02:12:13.600 --> 02:12:16.039
thirty eight minutes ago. You should
watch it. I worked really hard on

1877
02:12:16.199 --> 02:12:22.640
it. You do an injury to
write these good, good jokes. Good

1878
02:12:22.720 --> 02:12:26.439
job. I'm going to watch this. Yeah, me too, looking forward

1879
02:12:26.479 --> 02:12:31.359
to it. I played Sonic Superstars
with Mike this morning, and that was

1880
02:12:31.479 --> 02:12:33.560
fun in that it was fun to
hang out with Mike and have him have

1881
02:12:33.760 --> 02:12:37.199
energy in the morning. Because you
got a sea pat machine. That's odd,

1882
02:12:37.359 --> 02:12:39.640
so you want to see that for
yourselves. And then I think there's

1883
02:12:39.680 --> 02:12:45.720
a chance that Skull Island Rise of
Kong whatever it's called, will happen later

1884
02:12:45.800 --> 02:12:48.880
today if you are watching this live, Dan's going to play some of that

1885
02:12:50.079 --> 02:12:52.319
that's up in the air, though
that might might not happen because I guess

1886
02:12:52.319 --> 02:12:56.479
he's having power issues. And then
tomorrow, what do we have happening?

1887
02:12:56.640 --> 02:13:01.600
God, it's when Major Mitch maybe
going for his last tour. I can't

1888
02:13:01.640 --> 02:13:05.199
believe we have gone to the end
of that game, all right, Blue

1889
02:13:05.319 --> 02:13:11.560
that Mitch. There will be a
Jeff jeffs this week. Hopefully we had

1890
02:13:11.560 --> 02:13:15.600
a bit of a scheduling hiccup,
but hopefully by the end of the week

1891
02:13:15.680 --> 02:13:20.800
that new episode will be out.
And I am still all about Cowboy Bebop.

1892
02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:24.640
Word on the Street, Smoke on
the Street is that it's about to

1893
02:13:24.760 --> 02:13:31.560

1894
02:13:31.640 --> 02:13:35.439
just getting the Blu rays of go
