00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:11.160
Yo, dummy bo it's the Internet. You're busy. Let's do this for

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.279
the next hour or so. Let
me help you sort through the world of

3
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:19.039
gaming on gamess Mornings Live with me
Jeff Grub Today, I am ready for

4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:23.519
the switch pro to hurt me once
again. But first please join me and

5
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.839
welcoming today's co host to games Mornings. It's Lucy James from Giant Bomb.

6
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.719
Everybody. Hooray. How's it going, Lucy? I am doing well.

7
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.560
How are you doing? Doing pretty
good? I've sent you this on Twitter.

8
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.079
But I discovered a game store here
in Cleveland called James Games and Stuff,

9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.399
and I plan to check it out. Apparently it's very well liked in

10
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:47.759
the area. But considered opening I
mean, listen with your name, Lucy

11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.799
James and Lucy James Games. You
already on a video James like all that

12
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.920
stuff. It's all right there.
Have you considered opening a novelty store related

13
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.359
to video games? A barcade of
some sort? Does that ever occurred to

14
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.039
you? Not? No, But
I've also I've always kind of had the

15
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.319
thought of, like, if I
could do a spin off, what would

16
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.239
I do? So, you know, there could be I could do a

17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.319
framing service, Lucy James Frames,
personal trainer, Lucy James Gaines. Yes,

18
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.599
there's a lot of more things that
rhyme with James, but they're not

19
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.040
coming to me right now. But
Lucy games, Lucy James Games and more.

20
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:30.239
Yes, maybe that's my side hustle. Who knows. Actually there are

21
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.159
loads of those like fake There is
a place in London called game Spot and

22
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.359
they did use our logo. I
think I remember go pasted on the bus

23
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.040
and I was like, well,
hey that you think that's bad. There's

24
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.000
a whole entire food delivery service that
just you call it called grub hub.

25
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.359
It's still my name. How dare
they with my name? All my stuff

26
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.200
would have to be food related of
course, So yeah, yeah, considerate.

27
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.359
Yeah, I mean I suppose we
could be. I could I could

28
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.280
sell bait, Jeff's, Jeffs grubs, let people go fishing with me.

29
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.159
Yeah, there you go, There
you go. I'm trying to say,

30
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.599
what else are you or like lunchboxes? Yeah, it's still food related.

31
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.000
I don't know. Yes, but
a lot of things rhyme with your name,

32
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.039
So that's true. And then but
now all that comes to mind now

33
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.400
is Tam saying greb one out.
So that's that's all got now. Yeah,

34
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.840
he'll do that, He'll do that. We'll do that. Okay,

35
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.719

00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:14.960
start the morning mess here with our
top story God of War Ragnarok launches November

50
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.319
ninth, and a new CG trailer
was revealed. This is according to the

51
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.400
PlayStation blog. God of War Ragnarok
is officially coming to PlayStation five and PlayStation

52
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.879
four on November ninth, twenty twenty
two. We're thrilled to be able to

53
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.680
share our release date and the brand
new God of War Ragnarok Father and Son

54
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.800
CG trailer with all of the God
of War fans who have been eagerly awaiting

55
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.879
the news. We hope you've enjoyed
a glimpse of some of our some of

56
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.120
the dangerous Crados and a Traius could
find themselves in up against as Ragnarok approaches.

57
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.120
Uh Lucy, we got a date. We got a date. Finally.

58
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.000
How are you feeling about this?
Is this something that were you in

59
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.159
that boat where you're like I just
I'm like I just need to hear a

60
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:54.240
date, or where you're like,
the game's gonna come when it comes,

61
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.840
so kind of mix. So i'd
heard you out kind of rumblings for every

62
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.120
everyone hears rumblings all the time,
and everyone was like, oh yeah,

63
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.919
God of War was gonna hit this
year. I was gonna hit this year.

64
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.520
There were tweets from is it Bruno
the character artist, who was like,

65
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.240
yeah, it's definitely coming this year, and then I guess, I

66
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.600
guess, you know, especially since
Starfield moved, we were waiting for something

67
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.000
to fill that slot, and I
think out of everything, God of War

68
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:26.680
is probably the biggest game that could
fill that slot. I am also very

69
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.399
glad just because the it was reaching
fever pitch on Twitter and I saw a

70
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.279
tweet about this. I carmember who
did it, but they were like,

71
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:38.600
why is God of War like that
game? Now? With the you know,

72
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.319
there were there were people at Sony
Santa Monica getting Dick pics and you

73
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.680
know, just like every time any
of them would tweet, it would be

74
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.560
like where's the game? Was the
game? And its like I kind of

75
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.120
just wanted the release date just so
that would stop, because it just feels

76
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.680
I don't know why God of War
has become that game. Yes, God

77
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.519
of Wart and teen was fantastic,
Like it's one of my favorite games all

78
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.279
the time. But yeah, there's
something about ragnar Rock that's just kind of

79
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.560
sent people over the edge a little
bit. But I'm I'm very stoked,

80
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.519
very stalk for the team it's yeah, I'm super excited. I think it

81
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.439
comes down we saw that. Sorry, I messed up the feed for a

82
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.600
second there, and everyone caught me. I think it comes down to people

83
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.319
spend a lot of money on hardware
and they want to justify that job that

84
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.639
that arches to themselves, right,
and all the anxieties sort of come back

85
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.160
to that. And you know,
it's not just money, it's also time.

86
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.879
People spend a lot of time invested
in the hobby and a lot of

87
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.120
that time ends up sort of getting
mutated weirdly into this thing where instead of

88
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.399
being excited about playing games, you're
spending a lot of your times, a

89
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.959
lot of your time talking about the
things you imagine you're going to be excited

90
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.839
about in the future. And in
order to make all that what has essentially

91
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.560
wasted time online, maybe arguing with
other people who you don't even like.

92
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.759
To make that stuff make sense,
you need these games to hit and come

93
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:54.720
out and be big. And I
think with the extended cross generation period that

94
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.639
Sony has found themselves saying even with
Godivar Ragnrok coming out for PlayStation four as

95
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.319
well as PlayStation five, this is
still a game that people who have struggled

96
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.839
to get at PS five, put
all this money into and then have spent

97
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.160
a lot of time being like,
Okay, yeah, I'm really liking a

98
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.279
lot of the games I'm playing on
there. You know, Demon Souls was

99
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.120
great, Miles Morales was great.
There's been a lot of other stuff Ratchet

100
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.000
and Clink, but it's been a
few months since we had something to get

101
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.360
really excited about. I need Ragnarok
to make this whole hobby makes sense.

102
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.000
So I just think that's where a
lot of people are at, and now

103
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.079
it's coming. I think November is
a great time for a game like this

104
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.199
to come out. Sony has usually
not usually but in the past couple of

105
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.519
years has maybe not had like big
games during the holiday season. I don't

106
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.199
think that's for any specific strategic purpose. I think that's the way it's worked

107
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.680
out. Now they're going to have
this, and it feels like this is

108
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.279
going to be a big holiday for
the play station five, for god a

109
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.120
War for Sony, So pretty excited
stuff. Have you watched this trailer?

110
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.920
I was playing at kind in the
background. I only sold briefly. I

111
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.160
know there's a lot of work that
goes into CGI trailers. But in terms

112
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.639
of like things that get me excited
for a game, as CGI trailer is

113
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.519
not it. Yeah, I you
know, I'd go out of just see

114
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.720
like stuff from the game, but
also but also be in like a weird

115
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.439
place. And you know this is
maybe inside baseball. When you work in

116
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.959
games media, it's like when there
was a game you are really excited about,

117
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.199
you don't have the luxury of not
looking at tray lists for it.

118
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:17.560
Definitely, And you know that can
that can range to I mean kind of

119
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:23.600
worse on the entertainment side, like
I cannot enjoy an episode of Westworld or

120
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.199
Game of Thrones anymore because I'm so
used to like picking it apart f everything.

121
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.000
I'm luckily not that close to God
of War on the on the coverage

122
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.120
side that I can, I have
to comb through frame frame by frame.

123
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.759
But yeah, I see JR.
A trailer. Fine, it's a tone

124
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.720
piece. It's the thing that gets
everyone into it who maybe isn't aware of

125
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.240
God of War or kind of the
prestige of it. You know, it's

126
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.639
it's the thing that you put on
the TV and people are like, oh

127
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.720
damn, I want to play that
story. I want to play whatever that

128
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.879
is. I want to see gameplay. I want to see you know more

129
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.879
about the systems. I don't necessarily
want to know more about the story.

130
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.639
I just want to know what's what's
going to be the different between this and

131
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.120
twenty eighteen. Yeah. Absolutely,
CCG trailers don't do much for me either.

132
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.360
I mean, maybe this one is
like, we know this game is

133
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.759
going to be kind of what it
is, so setting the tone, giving

134
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.680
us some characters, giving us the
promise of like a big, cool new

135
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.240
enemy that works. In addition to
the CG trailer, though, they also

136
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:22.879
announced some details about the Collector's editions. Let's see. They had the Digital

137
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.480
Deluxe Edition, which has full God
War Ragnarock game Krados Darkdale armor, Atreus

138
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.879
is Darkdale attire. Basically, you
know, a bunch of items you're gonna

139
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.200
get from the game. Then the
Collector's Edition, which is like officially like

140
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.159
the Collector's Edition, you get a
steel book display case, two inch Juveneer

141
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.840
twins carvings in the same style as
Atreus's wooden toy carvings of the Hull Drug

142
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.200
Brothers from the God of War twenty
eighteen. Collector's Edition, you get a

143
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.320
dwarf in dice sets and a sixteen
inch m Olner replica, a highly detailed

144
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.200
replica of Thor's signature weapon from God
of War Ragnarok. Then there's the Yolkner

145
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.399
addition, which I think gets you
many of the similar things, but you

146
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.519
also get the Jiggs drail I never
know how to say that, a cloth

147
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.960
map. You get the legendary drop
near a ring comes in a red cloth

148
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.600
bag. And you can see there's
like a bunch of other stuff they're shwing

149
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.200
up in this video right here,
but you see the two inch of ane

150
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.320
Yer twin carvings there and the dice
set for example, And this is the

151
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.440
actor who plays Store is showing all
this stuff up. So very fun.

152
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.360
Huge year for replica meal news by
the way, Yes, right, so

153
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:31.720
that AMC bucket and now that this
the xbox is the handle part of it

154
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.679
because if the handles part of it, I wanted that's the tham like it's

155
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.000
that just like photo shopped on and
it's just like is looked the hammer part

156
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.360
of the hammer or it's the hammer
and then the handle sticks off because that's

157
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.559
fantastic. Yeah, yeah, people
are excited about this game. So obviously

158
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.759
a collector's editions are a big deal. Never for me, I never buy

159
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.559
the Collector's editions period. It is
never going to be excited about that stuff.

160
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.879
But whatever. I think the last
Collector's Edition I got was Posona five.

161
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.519
But other than that Collector's Issues,
I really wanted the art books so

162
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.600
and it gets you see, I
got caught up in the hype and I

163
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:15.960
bought the Fallout four pit Boy,
Yeah, burned in numerous ways on that

164
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.440
one. I definitely got the mass
Effect three one. But other than that,

165
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.679
like, since since I kind of
have stopped buying Collector's editions, they

166
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.879
have got better, and I think
Sony's very good at them, like statues

167
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.840
and stuff like. That's the kind
of thing that I like, right,

168
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.120
But I don't know, could I
just wait a couple of years until like

169
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.399
McFarland or someone puts out a really
good Oh I did see. I don't

170
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.720
know if it was I saw Warrior
tweeted. I think I don't think it's

171
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.639
still alive. But there was those
McFarland Batman like the rock Idol ones so

172
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.360
Batman looking like he was in kiss
or something fourteen dollars on Amazon. I

173
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.200
really had to hold myself back from
buying because that's the kind of that's the

174
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.240
kind of tat. I don't hold
yourself back, embrace it, go full

175
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:09.279
McFarland, all right. Nintendo Switch
pro speculation picks up again following previous console

176
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.919
trailers going private. This is by
Michael Kale at Dot E Sports. The

177
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.519
ever hopeful cycle has started once again
with Nintendo fans online speculating about the potential

178
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.240
reveal of an enhanced switch model,
following several previous product trailers being delisted from

179
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.440
various official channels. As pointed out
by multiple fans and Game explained, Nintendo

180
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.840
put the trailers for both the Nintendo
Switch Light and o LED models private on

181
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.960
the company's North American and Japanese YouTube
accounts. Several users across social media pointed

182
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.480
out to a very recent example,
being that Nintendo previously privated some switch Light

183
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.840
promotional content before the reveal of the
o LED on July six, twenty twenty

184
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.440
one. The timing also lines up
with the original reveal of the switch Light

185
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:56.399
too, having originally been shown off
on July twenty nineteen. Now does that

186
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.600
like pattern recognition is a big thing
in the in the Nintendo sort of weak

187
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.679
community, Lucy where people look for
patterns of what's happened before, and they

188
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.519
say, you know, the past
is it repeats itself, and so if

189
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.559
this happened before, there's a good
chance that will happen again. And I

190
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.159
think that's fair to a certain extent. But also patterns get broken all the

191
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.600
time, and humans aren't. We
don't obey those patterns or anything like that.

192
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.759
It's just something that we fall into
and can easily fall out of.

193
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.320
Does that part of the story so
far, the idea that they've previously privated

194
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.720
videos in the past prior, like
just prior to the reveal of a new

195
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:35.120
system, does that ring true for
you with what's happening this time with them

196
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:41.320
privating videos again? Oh, we're
going down the evolutionary Humans look for patterns

197
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:46.080
when they're on anything. Yep.
Absolutely, yeah. I mean, regardless

198
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.639
of if they're doing something or if
they're not, Like, they have a

199
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.440
pattern, and people are going to
be they're primed, they're ready, they're

200
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.840
going to kind of jump to conclusions
that might not necessarily be the It's kind

201
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.360
of weird though, to private trailers. I'm not sure why they do that.

202
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:09.120
So there's a possible explanation. So
there's two possible explanations. The one

203
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.600
is they want to make sure that
they shore up SEO so much that when

204
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.759
people search for new Nintendo switch trailer, the only thing that's going to come

205
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.799
up is the new Nintendo switch trailer
and not the one for the last one,

206
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.279
so people don't get confused. Now, I think it's fair for that.

207
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.159
I think it's a fair idea that
companies assume consumers are very stupid and

208
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.879
they want to account for that in
every way, But it also seems a

209
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.240
bit aggressive. It seems like an
impressible way of dealing with that. The

210
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.519
other explanation is one that when we
were talking about this on Less than a

211
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:43.840
Tendogs my Nintendo podcast last night,
Mike Manati mentioned this because we realized our

212
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.320
episode was our fifty second episode,
and we started our podcast with with the

213
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.279
switch O led model getting announced.
That was our first episode, and so

214
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.200
he's like, oh, it's been
a year. Maybe there's something where a

215
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.240
year later, something has expired in
terms of licensing or something like that,

216
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.159
and so they're just delisting it because
the lawyer was like, notice something and

217
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.320
delisted it. And this is something
that kid ellis former Nintendo of American employee

218
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.600
said that this is very likely.
He said on Twitter. These major videos

219
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.679
typically have music or actors which are
licensed for use for a year, then

220
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.720
need to be renewed or taken down. Switch Old was announced a year ago

221
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.639
tomorrow. This is most likely nothing. Why yeah? But it also it

222
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.039
is wild to me that Nintendo doesn't
like a company as big as Nintendo who's

223
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.879
making something as major as a trailer
for a piece of hardware that they're hoping

224
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.960
that will last years, won't license
stuff for a trailer beyond a year.

225
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:41.120
That's to me, that doesn't sound
like I could see a possibility where that

226
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.720
happens. But also it's seems like
the kind of thing that Nintendo's lawyers would

227
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.360
be very certain about and make sure
that there's yeah, no, we are

228
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.600
just going to buy the stuff in
perpetuity, and we're yeah, Like that

229
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.960
makes sense to me. But I
suppose there's a possible they overlook something or

230
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.799
they you know, they weren't like
they threw something to get their last minute

231
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.120
and something fell through the cracks,
and now a year later, like,

232
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.200
oh, hey, we noticed this. Should we just pay the you know,

233
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.759
five thousand dollars to renew this like, oh, well, we'll think

234
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.919
about it for now, just delisted. I suppose that could happen, but

235
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.480
I don't know. I'll say that, you know, while we are,

236
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.120
you know, having this conversations today, Nintendo did announce announce a new switch

237
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.399
system. Now it's not a switch
pro or anything again. Yes, uh,

238
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.960
the Nintendo Switch oh led models.
Splatoon three edition got announced. Let's

239
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.200
see here, let's take a look
at this thing. The game is definitely

240
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.679
coming out of this year. Huh. So yes, this is launching August

241
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.840
twenty six alongside the game, uh
Splatoon three. And it's yeah, it's

242
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.919
like just it's got the whole Splatoon
aesthetic. It's got the purple on one

243
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.799
side of green on the other right, and then uh yes, and and

244
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.519
it's you know, it's got a
bunch of little squid kids on there.

245
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.679
So hey, they did announce new
hardware today. It is not the hardware

246
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.360
you want him to do. Yes, this is this what's actually happened here?

247
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.960
Is this simple that they were just
announce seen this? I mean the

248
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.960
timing feels very suspect, like,
okay, is this all we're getting?

249
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:11.200
I Uh, I really have to
question the esthetic choice of the splat though.

250
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.440
I mean, I'm glad it's not
white. Well, y'all are glad

251
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.039
it's not white. Well, I'm
guess I'm not gonna yuck anyone's most of

252
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.279
us are glad it's not white.
Yes, yea. For people listen to

253
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.000
the audio version, it's just it
is the like just a cartoon splat and

254
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.519
it's neon greenish yellow. Yeah.
Yeah, it looks like you need to

255
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.559
go get some get some Yeah.
I gotta go get some braun on there

256
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.519
and just wipe that up absolutely,
or an old T shirt or something.

257
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:38.360
Uh. Now here's the problem.
Here's here's the rub, all right.

258
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:45.919
Uh. The Splatoon three edition of
the switch oh lad was in a previous

259
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.919
league from a Chinese league er on
a on a forum where he mentioned this

260
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.480
was gonna happen, and right alongside
this they said that a Switch pro model

261
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.519
is also coming this year. So
let let me read kind of what I

262
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.840
have here. A league on a
Chinese first revealed the Splatoon three O led

263
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.960
model, and that league said a
Switch pro model is coming this year as

264
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.880
well and could get announced as early
as like later the summer. This updated

265
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.599
model has the same Switch logo on
the back as previous systems. So the

266
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:17.759
suggestion there is that this is some
This isn't some kind of Switch successor it

267
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.000
is still in the same lineage as
the Switch system, so it would be

268
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.359
just another new model of switch.
It can reportedly play Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

269
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.480
at sixty frames per second, It
plays the same existing game cards as normal

270
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.200
Switch systems, and leaguers speculates because
it will get announced in September. Here

271
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.240
we are again. We found ourselves
back at the Switch pro yet again.

272
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.400
Not not just like for like you
know, the fiftieth time in our lives,

273
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.640
but like the third time today we
are already back here. What do

274
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:52.920
you think, you know what?
Just every switch fun at home and myself

275
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.119
included. Again. It's kind of
like the god of War thing. I

276
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:57.839
just want them to announce it.
Yeah, I do wonder where they are

277
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:03.759
though with regard to chip shortages.
I know that you know that's ready.

278
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.200
Yeah, put a kind of made. Getting next gen well current gen,

279
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:12.039
I guess PS five and Series X
is difficult. And even what do you

280
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.759
call it the it's very early in
the morning, shipping roots that kind of

281
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:21.680
stuff like that, logistics and stuff, Yes, supply chain, I thank

282
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.960
you yeah, it's kind of been
in my bed with new tech. I

283
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.400
hope Nintendo, if they are going
to reveal a new model, they are

284
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.400
prepared for it. Yes, so
they're maybe that's why it's been so long,

285
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.359
right, And this is something I'm
speculated about in the past where one

286
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.960
of the reasons they might want to
do a switch proch still is that they

287
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.880
could potentially go to a smaller process. So I think I can't remember the

288
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.880
exact numbers. I think the switch
model right now uses like a ten nanometer.

289
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.559
Maybe it's like a smaller than that, but basically it's they revise the

290
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.480
process that the original switches on so
they could make more chips in the same

291
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.640
size wafers so they could get better
yields. Well. One way of dealing

292
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.799
with the supply chain yeah, yeah, one way of doing with the supply

293
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.680
chain shortage is you move to a
new process so you can get even more

294
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.880
chips on the same number on the
same number of wafers, and at the

295
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.839
same time that would lower cost.
There's a lot of benefits that Nintendo would

296
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:19.039
be very into moving to a new
process. Like the problem is not even

297
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.559
on the supply chain, it's all
on like how do they present this?

298
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.119
We are pretty far into this generation, a little bit further than you would

299
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.799
expect for a pro model from any
sort of other varia. I mean except

300
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:30.960
for maybe that if you look at
the game Boy and the game Boy Color

301
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:33.920
coming like what ten years later,
and that was still basically the game Boy,

302
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:40.200
but you know, exercising that,
this is like you would expect a

303
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.119
pro model to have come a little
bit before this, because now the big

304
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.119
question is if you put the pro
out, now, does this extend this

305
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:49.400
generation way further than we were expecting? And now Nintendo needs to keep supporting

306
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.319
the original switch model all the way
until what twenty twenty five? Like,

307
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.599
where are we at with that?
It's it's a it's a confusing proposition.

308
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.200
I don't know how they're going to
pull that off. Do you think Nintendo

309
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.680
cares about being part of this generation? Right? See that they like?

310
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.039
That's I think they are trying to
I think you're exactly right. I think

311
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.880
they're trying to blaze their own path
and not like not be presented as a

312
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.799
console that has a very clean and
clear uh, like, Okay, the

313
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.079
new generation has begun. Now leave
everything else behind and some of your games

314
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.759
will come for your account will come
forward. I think they are trying to

315
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.839
find a model that works for them
that is somewhere between a console and somewhere

316
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:30.000
between an iPad right where it's like
regular updates things get, you know.

317
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.759
I think that's what they're trying to
figure out. But that's also going to

318
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.960
be a pretty difficult thing to present
to gamers, like they've not done that

319
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.039
before. And so how you make
people feel good about buying a Switch Pro

320
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.960
if they get the hint that a
Switch Pro upgrade is going to come in

321
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:47.799
two to three years. Yeah,
And I suppose the other thing is that

322
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.920
if you think about the the Nintendo
lineup on the WIU and then even the

323
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.359
Switch, it's it's kind of among
gamers, you know, it is the

324
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.279
worst place to play a lot of
third party titles, Like you know,

325
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:06.079
I wouldn't God Overwatch on the Switch
what a concept, But you know it's

326
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.960
the worst place to play third party
And so maybe Nintendo are just like,

327
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.039
well, we can't compete with the
power of the Xbox Series X or the

328
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.200
power of the PS five in this
particular handheld, but what we can do

329
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:22.079
is cater our catalog, specifically reach
out to third party partners to get exclusives

330
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.480
on our system, bolster our catalog
with first party and it's it's not And

331
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.920
this is the thing. Nintendo are
not struggling. They have an amazing lineup.

332
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:36.759
They have just in sales out of
the wazoo. I believe that is

333
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:41.519
the technical term. So maybe it
is just time that Nintendo are not gonna

334
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.720
follow everyone else. And like they've
done this before. They have been industry

335
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.119
leaders and still remain industry leaders.
But like maybe it's time that they just

336
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.519
finally decide, you know, we're
not going to try and do everything the

337
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.519
Nintendo and Sonia doing but the Microsoft
and Sonia doing. But I will say

338
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:02.119
they are kind of very They're more
shrewd about uh, strategic partnerships. Like

339
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:08.559
if you think about how working with
alongside Xbox on things like Minecraft and you

340
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.519
know, I don't know, I
think it's just Nintendo going in a different

341
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.279
direction, which is actually potentially very
exciting. Yes, they usually are kind

342
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.039
of well, some some things are
little backwards in well yeah, I mean,

343
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.880
and this is like the kind of
thing where I'm like, okay,

344
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.680
maybe this is the distraction they need
to not you know, pull the weeu

345
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.839
where you know, Nintendo gets bored
and we want our next hardware to have

346
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.920
all these bells and gizmos that define
the system and everyone I think it is

347
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.039
looking around Nintendo. Please don't do
that. Please just give us another switch,

348
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.279
and maybe the distraction here can be
Nintendo needs to figure out a new

349
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:48.160
way of presenting this system and the
upgrade paths and figuring out what that marketing

350
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.720
language looks like, it looks and
sounds like. And so that is their

351
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.000
innovation here is changing the way a
console updates cycle works for them, and

352
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.200
that way they aren't going to like
go in and throw in like you know,

353
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.319
I are goggle lead things that you
put on your butt the switch and

354
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.759
that's how you play games. So
at least that's my hope they can do

355
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:08.279
that with the next one. Just
give us a couple more years of just

356
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:15.480
a hybrid console and uh yeah,
anyone else is innovative though what else never

357
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.119
put in that games on sale?
Yes, yes, Chad just said,

358
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.000
Dread has been off for nine months, hasn't dipped in price once, and

359
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.000
it fucking won't. Well like it
won't. And this is the thing we

360
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:26.519
talked about. God, you know, we don't always have to make it

361
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.559
about one versus the other, but
bind up whether the hell not, Like

362
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.039
Luigi's Matt To three is the one. I always go to a game that

363
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.880
has sold like twelve thirteen million copies
now barely ever goes on sale. When

364
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.799
it does go on sale, it's
like forty dollars for a week, goes

365
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.400
right back up and it's getting the
thirteen million copies. And then we talk

366
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.799
about what was the last of US
Part two got to ten million copies,

367
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.839
I think they said, and that's
like regularly down to what twenty dollars and

368
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.119
things like. It's not it's just
not the same. Even if it's like

369
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.759
looks the raw numbers of sales numbers
are pretty close, it's just not the

370
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:00.680
same. And I think Nintendo has
completely realized that if they just going after

371
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.400
the family, their audience is inherently
bigger than anyone else's audience and unless someone

372
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.200
else can figure like Microsoft is trying
to figure that with the cloud stuff,

373
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.559
But Nintendo has a family that are
you know, that family audience that does

374
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.640
spend a lot of money on entertainment, and it is paying off for them.

375
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.000
Okay, but speaking back of Sony, and selling a lot of games.

376
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.319
Horizon Forbidden West the game that has
managed to like stay pretty high on

377
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.759
the sales chart, so a few
months after its release, it is getting

378
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.559
a big update on PS five.
This is from Guerrilla on Twitter. Highly

379
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:34.680
requested features incoming introducing variable refresh rate, high refresh rate, and our new

380
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:40.920
balanced graphics mode supporting forty hurts.
That's a very cool. Variable refresh rate

381
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:45.480
and high refresh rate support is that
includes. So basically variable refresh rate is

382
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.799
like g sinc. You know AMD's
free sinc, that sort of thing where

383
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.680
you can the screen updates the same
refresh rate as the GPU so things don't

384
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.039
stutter and look bad. It's a
you know, it was a killer feature

385
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.000
ten years ago, it's still a
killer freature now. And then high refresh

386
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.920
rate basically now you can support a
hundred, twenty hundred and twenty frames per

387
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.880
second in this game. And then
having forty hurts support is actually something I

388
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:12.279
really like having a coming from the
steam deck where the steam deck I have

389
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:17.720
set the refresh rate of the screen
to forty hurts. It still looks very

390
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.480
smooth and it saves a ton of
battery and stuff, and it's like,

391
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.599
it's like, I'm glad that we
aren't getting to a point where now that

392
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.839
we have variable refresh rate as an
option, people are looking at like,

393
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.319
hey, maybe we could go somewhere
between thirty and sixty and find the right

394
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.920
balance there and still get a lot
of great graphical features and you know,

395
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.279
the full four K, but we
don't have to go all the way to

396
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.319
sixty. Sixty while has long been
a magic number, there actually is no

397
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.519
inherent magic about it. It's just
once you get there, you know for

398
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.559
sure it's going to look smooth.
But if you could get a solid like

399
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:51.240
fifty, it's going to look pretty
close to sixty as well. So any

400
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:55.039
chance you're gonna like touch on Forbidden
West again now it's it's getting this update.

401
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.519
I still haven't finished it, so
this could be a good excuse to

402
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:04.960
go back. But jeff on me
with my ten dollar earbuds, none of

403
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.960
this stuff really. Yeah, I
am just like, okay, cool game

404
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.480
bruns a little smoother, I you
know, but I do need to finish

405
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.559
Earth Forbidden Worst. It's been on
my pile of shame. I feel bad

406
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.839
that I kind of pushed it to
one side because of Elden Ring just as

407
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.599
I pushed you. Actually, no, I didn't push. I didn't push

408
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.000
zero Dawn, I complete and zero
down. But yeah, it's kind of

409
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:33.759
been hanging over me Alloy with her
full pack. She's sending stuff to hers

410
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.200
stash the whole time, you know. But they patched that. So I'm

411
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.720
actually kind of excited to go back. Yeah, I'm I bound stuff for

412
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:41.759
been West pretty hard. So I'm
like, I was kind of I had

413
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.039
this idea in my head, like, oh, they're gonna improve it specifically

414
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.119
for someone like me, And I'm
like, I don't know. Elder Ring

415
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.759
just hits so hard at the time
not to like, you know, go

416
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:53.240
back to that same thing that everyone
says, like, oh I just bounced

417
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:59.000
off it for elden Ring, but
I did for Spoken. The One of

418
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.279
the big PlayStation five games coming out
this year is not coming out this year.

419
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.799
It has been delayed to January twenty
January twenty four of next year as

420
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.759
a result of ongoing discussions with key
partners. This comes from the studio.

421
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:17.319
Now we have made the state strategic
decisions to move the launch date Verspoken to

422
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.720
January twenty four, twenty twenty three. All game elements are now complete and

423
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.519
development is in its final polishing phase. We would like to thank you for

424
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.720
your continued support and patience on this
journey. Uh Okay, I'm not super

425
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:32.200
surprised by this, but it does. It's just like, you know what,

426
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.680
this has happened every game, right, so of course first spoke it's

427
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:40.960
also getting yet another delay, right
yeah. It's also the wording of it,

428
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:48.400
which is very clear. Move bitch, Ragnarok's coming. Yeah yeah,

429
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:55.519
I mean, you know, Mimoto
heads here here. We should get something

430
00:27:55.559 --> 00:28:00.240
in obs By just like a memo, like a rainbow, and it just

431
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.960
leaves the words behind delay games pitches. Yeah, there you go. So,

432
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:07.880
I don't know, I kind of
feel bad for the team because I

433
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.240
mean, I don't know, the
hype full spoken for me hasn't really been

434
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.599
It's more people are gonna have to
play to know if we even care about

435
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.319
it, because based on the trailers, it's like, I think it looks

436
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.440
fun when they start, when she
starts jumping around and stuff like that.

437
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:27.240
I'm into it, but I don't
know if that's a full game and combat.

438
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.799
It's just it's hard to grasp the
like how fun this is all going

439
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.359
to be and we're gonna have to
play it, but we're not gonna get

440
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.559
a chance to do that until next
year. I think that they also,

441
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:38.319
you know, say it's in the
final polishy stage, is I bet they

442
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.359
are still kind of looking to go
from a game that is probably okay,

443
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.279
it's a game that feels really good
and that's gonna probably take just a few

444
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:51.160
more tweaks, and having come along
those final months, could you know,

445
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:53.200
not make or break, but could
really add something. I really, could

446
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:56.920
you know, add a few points
to your Metacritic or whatever. But but

447
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.799
it's the kind of thing where,
yeah, if Ragnarrock gives you this luyway

448
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.319
to say, hey, if you
want to move, you can move to

449
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:04.880
next year. We have a big
game, like, no one's gonna mind

450
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.079
so much if We're Spoken doesn't come
out. You know, that's maybe inherently

451
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:11.400
a problem that people don't mind as
much that Were Spoken is getting delayed.

452
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.599
But this gives them time to make
people care, so hopefully they can figure

453
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:21.839
it out. But also as well, it's like with remember the Last of

454
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:23.960
Us Part two and Ghosts of Sishement, it wasn't It's not exactly like they

455
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.640
cannibalize each other. Both of those
games incredibly well. And for Spoken and

456
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.640
God of War, I don't know, are they targeting the same audience.

457
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.400
Well, I mean, I think
even if even the audience that would play

458
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.480
both, I think would be very
excited to go back to back. So

459
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:42.559
they go to the story to pick
up God of War, rag Rock for

460
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.039
spokens right there on the shelf.
I bet they pick up for Spoken as

461
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:51.119
well. I think that there's you
know, there's definitely zero sum things happening

462
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.759
in games all the time. People
only have so much of a budget.

463
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.640
But the people that get excited to
go buy a new video game are also

464
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.480
the people that are most likely to
buy the other new video game at the

465
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.960
same time in many cases. So
I think having big games side by side

466
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:07.960
that are you know, just different
enough or even have some similarities, I

467
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:12.839
think they in many cases they can
benefit each other. But but I think

468
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:17.279
this is this comes down to you
can move because Ragnock's here, do you

469
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:18.599
want to move? And then Squaring's
going, yes, we want a little

470
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.599
bit more time, god please.
I think it's just that simple. And

471
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.160
then and then January is typically pretty
quiet, so if they've got the whole

472
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.559
month to themselves, well, like
the last half of the month, people

473
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.039
are kind of coming off that Christmas
right spending rush, and they still a

474
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.559
lot of gift cards, so they
will be still spending happening for sure.

475
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.279
So like they're like, if you're
a game that comes out in January,

476
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.799
you can get some bump, and
all the other games they're gonna get delayed

477
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.599
will probably go into February in March, so you're probably not going to get

478
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:49.960
in too much of a you know, a log jam there. Yeah,

479
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:53.160
it's it seems like a strategic move
on a lot of fronts and it should

480
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:59.920
benefit for spoken uh. An Xbox
live stream may have accidentally confirmed she Haul

481
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.400
for Marvels Avengers is by Chris Scotty
and as VGC. Did you see this

482
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:08.039
video? God? Did I see
this video? Oh my god? Alright,

483
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.079
let me read this real quick.
During during the stream of the official

484
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:17.119
Xbox Twitch channel, a guest host, Technic, was playing the game with

485
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.279
Avengers new lead designer Brian Wagoner,
who took over the role in January.

486
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:23.119
To show off the addition of Jane
Foster the Mighty Thor in the game's latest

487
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.880
update. Technic began to say,
you want a funny fact about She Hawk.

488
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:30.839
I don't know if I can say
this. I'll just say this.

489
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.920
He then laughed, saying I don't
like that face Brian is making. Maybe

490
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.480
I shouldn't say it. Then he
went on to say it my acting coach

491
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.640
is actually the voice of she Hawk, and I won't say her name because

492
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.160
I don't know if that was public
knowledgeyet. And then he paused, I

493
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.599
think it is. It was announced, and then Wagoner, with a petrified

494
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.720
face, I would say, it
goes Nope, Nope, we've never announced

495
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:59.960
She Hawk. We've we don't announce
things. You know, we don't announce

496
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:05.599
things. Is another thing we need. We're gonna get Brian Waggoner's face swiping

497
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.559
across our screen with the rainbow,
and we don't announce things. The video

498
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:15.440
like, So, I talked to
Greg Miller about this. I sent him

499
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.359
the clip and he was like,
you know, he actually sent me a

500
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:24.480
link to a Forbes article from Paul
Tassi December the Earth the voice actress already

501
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:30.640
leaked it. Yes, it was
the same guy. Miller who I trusted.

502
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:37.319
Bassline said that she Hulk will be
voiced by Kutzia Bakos. Bajos,

503
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.480
a veteran voice actress whose voice characters
and Halo Infinite Psychnos to Cyberpug and Gotham

504
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.680
Knights, and then they just retweeted
Miller's claim that she was voicing the character

505
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:50.680
with a green heart. So this
has like been known. Okay, so

506
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.240
it's there. But still Greg was
like, Greg was like, there has

507
00:32:54.279 --> 00:33:00.359
been you know, rumors and Scott, but about this this video, Oh

508
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.160
my god, I watched it yesterday. I'm still I'm still clenched thinking about

509
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.359
it. It is. It's very
good. It's very good. So I'm

510
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:14.759
like, if you're the dev in
that situation, like a bud yep,

511
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.960
I mean, like you have trained
not to say stuff yourself in that situation.

512
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:22.960
I think he's just hoping, like
maybe he'll talk himself out of saying

513
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:25.200
it. Maybe he'll see my face
talking about how to stand. But I

514
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.799
got to stay quiet because I want
complete deniability that I had anything to like

515
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.119
like giving him the green light or
anything. But I mean maybe also just

516
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:37.880
say please shut up. I don't
know. Someone in pr just going,

517
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.839
can we pull the plug? Can
we pull the plug? Exactly, trying

518
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.240
the brain forgetting light in his eyeballs
like men in black exactly all right,

519
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:52.319
you be Soft it's holding a multi
game showcase in September. This one comes

520
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.359
from Tom tom Ivan at VGC.
You'd be Soft will hold it's next you

521
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:59.640
be sawt Foward Games Showcase on September
tenth. This is It's kicking off at

522
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.640
twelve pm Pacific three pm Eastern on
a Saturday. The event will reveal updates

523
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:07.960
and news on multiple game projects from
Ubisoft teams around the world, and it

524
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:12.360
will be on you know YouTube,
Twitch. Yeah, it's a Saturday.

525
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.719
So it's like kind of like a
weird little three. Yeah, now September

526
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:22.519
when is when is games come?
The end of August? Okay, so

527
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.159
it's like even after that, So
okay, it's it's kind of off on

528
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:29.960
its own, doing its own sort
of Ubisoft the late September E three thing.

529
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:36.280
I the games I've heard that you
I'll say, they have a number

530
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.559
of things probably to talk about and
that they could show show off, and

531
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:44.320
that's just not stuff that we already
know about. In the Beyond Good and

532
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:49.360
Evil two is not one Beyond Evil
two shows up, They're gonna have to

533
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.159
completely reboot that thing and and completely
reintroduce it because there's no way it's still

534
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.360
that game that they show it off
forever ago, right, that wasn't even

535
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:00.280
a game. Yeah, it wasn't
even a game exactly. So it's like

536
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.199
maybe maybe they could, but it's, you know, it's their typical stuff,

537
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:06.800
like a bunch of stuff going on
with Assassin's Creed things like that.

538
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.960
I think that they also will probably
finally show splinter Cell, which I'm pretty

539
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.960
excited about. I hope, so
like the thing, it's pretty early,

540
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.960
but I think they'll probably just like
show something from that. And do you

541
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:23.639
have any hopes for a UBI stoft
forward in September on a Saturday, on

542
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:27.960
a bloody Saturday. I mean,
when now we're getting that Skull and Bones

543
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:34.800
thing on Thursday. So I'm I'm
intrigued by it. I'm very interested to

544
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:37.239
see what's happening with that game if
it's going to launch this year. Yeah's

545
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:42.719
Assassin's I think it's a little Assassin's
Creed. I don't know. I'm in

546
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:45.320
a weird place with my Assassin's Creed
fandom at the moment, if that's the

547
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:49.239
right word. Like I was a
big Assassin's Creed fan, but as the

548
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:54.199
games have become bigger and bigger,
my interest has waned and while I loved,

549
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.679
like I put thirty odd hours into
Valhallatt, you know, talking to

550
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:00.760
Jordan on our team who viewed it
and he was like, oh yeah,

551
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.599
I'm like eighty plus hours and I'm
not finished. I was like, okay,

552
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:09.639
thank you, just because yeah,
it didn't it didn't feel like it

553
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:14.960
earned that runtime for me. I'm
intrigued with Splint, so I really hope

554
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.480
they have something to show us.
From myself, I keep forgetting that they

555
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:21.079
have Avatar and they have a Star
Wars project, so I do. I

556
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:24.119
do wonder if they'll show any of
that, because I thought this year,

557
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.639
yes, the movies coming out,
Yes, still show something from Avatar.

558
00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:30.840
Whether or not that game comes out
this year or not, they'll show something

559
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.280
for it, and then yeah,
that's Star Wars game. It's probably still

560
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.159
a touch too early to show that, but I would love this just see

561
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.360
what they're doing. It's kind of
like if you make the Star Wars game,

562
00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:43.360
I feel like I feel like it's
pretty hard to nail down what you

563
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.119
should be doing. I think when
this got announced, everyone's like, well,

564
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.320
obviously it's got to be related to
the Mandalorian and I don't know now

565
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.719
like today, you would make that
same choice. I think it can have

566
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:54.480
Mandalorian stuff in it, but I
don't know if it's like, oh,

567
00:36:54.519 --> 00:37:00.840
you theme it all around the Mandalorian. Obviously there's baby yodas everywhere. You

568
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:02.719
probably if you're making a Star Wars
game and it's this big thing that you

569
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:06.840
be stuff next and it takes years
and years, you need to be kind

570
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:08.480
of doing what Knights of Little Republic
doing it was doing. Not necessarily,

571
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:13.000
oh go find a different part of
the timeline, but definitely forge your own

572
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:15.480
path. Makes something that could stand
on its own and not rely on anything

573
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.880
else that's happening in the Star Wars
universe. I hope they can reveal that's

574
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.239
what they're working on and that's the
ideas they have. As a person wearing

575
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.880
a Star Wars shirt. Right now, everyone, my doorbell just went,

576
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.880
oh, yeah, doude, deal
with the thing. That's fine, Yeah,

577
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:32.079
go go get your packages. All
right, Well she's doing that.

578
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:35.679
Let me, uh you know what, I'll let me see if I can

579
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:38.000
get Oh oh that was fast,
all right, fair enough. I just

580
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.679
get to oh oh my god,
no, no, go deal with it.

581
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:45.920
We're good. Let's see. Let's
see if I can take a look

582
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.599
at it for me. When when
Chip and Charges goes had twenty dollars,

583
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:58.800
headphones have arrived someone someone's twenty dollars
moving up in the world. All right,

584
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:01.880
okay, you yourself will probably have
a plenty of talk about in September.

585
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:07.599
Uh okay, this one we just
we got right beforehand. Square Enix

586
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:13.760
is cracking down on Final Fantasy for
fourteen event organizer after billboards go viral.

587
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.639
This is by ELLENI Thomas at de
Certo. Let me see what the hell

588
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.000
do you say that? I'm gonna
tweet. Can want to ask the world

589
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:23.360
how you say de Certo. So
while you're doing that, I'm gonna transition

590
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.880
over here. Let's take a look
at this billboard. So, multiple billboards

591
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.079
across the US are currently advertising and
up and coming in game beach Party for

592
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:37.360
Final Fantasy fourteen players also known as
Nerds. However, the promotion is backfired

593
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:42.000
as some players have been banned in
the face of legal threats from Square Enix.

594
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:46.880
So this is it's basically just a
big billboard saying Saturday July ninth at

595
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:52.119
eight pm Central Time, and then
it has Final Fantasy fourteen online logo.

596
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:55.000
It's got characters from the game,
which I suppose you know, these are

597
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:59.000
your custom created characters. But I
bet like square Enix, like, we're

598
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:00.639
still in the copyright to that.
I think there's even a copyright, right,

599
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:07.159
there's a copyright there. Squaring Nix
Company Limited like like they put Squerenixes

600
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:08.559
copyright on it. Squirenix didn't,
like, this is not a Square Nix

601
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:14.119
thing. This is just a group
promoting an endgame beach party, which I

602
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.239
gotta say, this sounds pretty fun. I'm being completely honest. Sounds fun,

603
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:21.199
but like right, screens like,
hey, you can't go like trade

604
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:25.159
on our brand to advertise stuff and
do business with you know, these billboard

605
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:30.480
companies or whatever. So hey,
this is fun, But I'm not too

606
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:32.679
surprised at Squerenix is cracking down on
it, right yeah, I mean,

607
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:37.639
if anything, I'll get a games
company moving quickly with the legal ease.

608
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:44.280
It's the it's an infringement upon the
copyright. It's I just I feel bad

609
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:45.800
because like, obviously that costs a
lot of money, and it's a fan

610
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.679
thing and they're trying to promote something
in game, and so in their minds

611
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:52.559
they probably think, oh, we
haven't done anything wrong, and then the

612
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:57.599
old copyright law comes in and this
is and the people in chappoint this is

613
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:01.079
probably against terms of service things like
that. I mean, obviously everything is

614
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:05.079
against You can't do anything if you
actually read the team in terms of service.

615
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:07.639
That's just there so that if you
do anything they don't like for any

616
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:09.119
reason, they can, you know, deal with it. But then someone

617
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.159
points, let's see propaganda pansis it
is also an erotic role playing party,

618
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.000
which I don't see to me?
Isn't that just in the entirety of Final

619
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:22.360
Fantasy fourteen? Basically? Is it
catboys and bunny girls? What is what

620
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.360
is that game? If it's not
an erotic role playing party? Huh?

621
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:31.159
What is it like role playing play? Yeah? And uh and Mike Manadi

622
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:36.079
and Chap does a good job.
Point is they've they've totally Uh what is

623
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:37.719
that term? When like, you
try to squash something only makes it more

624
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:42.320
popular. I never would have knew
this thing and effect yes, yes,

625
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.920
trysanding, I never would have knew
this thing was it was a thing if

626
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:50.880
Square ANX wasn't trying to squash the
billboards with the cat with the bunny girls

627
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.239
on it. So yeah, uh
so yeah, Now everyone's like, all

628
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:55.119
right, where do we sign up? I might go play this game and

629
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:59.280
go the to the to the Erotic
role playing party now, so good job

630
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:05.599
Square, And it's DJ is the
DJ. Pott was hired as a DJ

631
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:08.280
for the upcoming event, but doesn't
work for the group regularly. Yeah is

632
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:12.679
I mean yeah, the PC game
Uncle as a little as a bunny girl

633
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:19.239
and a little a scantily clad bunny
girl next to a bed. Oh yeah,

634
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.480
okay, yeah, what's that?
What's a fun FUNC fourteen equivalent of

635
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.400
keys in a bowl? Right?
I don't know. It'd say it's a

636
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:29.760
staff of some sort of magical staff
in a in a bigger bowl. I

637
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:35.639
don't know. Uh, a faraga
spell in a butt. I got nothing.

638
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:37.920
Let's do the catchup, everybody,
all right, so we're gonna get

639
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:43.679
into what everyone is talking about,
which probably is actually still the Nintendo Switch

640
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.480
Pro and Gotta War Ragnarok. But
we got some other stuff happening. Games

641
00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:50.920
with Gold is shifting away from the
Xbox three sixty titles starting in October.

642
00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:54.639
I got this one from Jordan DeVore
at Destructoid. Uh. Microsoft gave a

643
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:59.360
heads up about an upcoming change starting
in October. Twenty twenty two, the

644
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.519
monthly three games line up and that's
free in quote. So obviously I will

645
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:06.840
no longer feature Xbox three sixty titles, the team explains explained the change in

646
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:09.760
an email to Xbox Live Gold and
Xbox game Pass Ultimate subscribers. We have

647
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:14.800
reached the limit of our ability to
bring Xbox three sixty games to the catalog.

648
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.280
However, games with Gold will continue
to include exciting Xbox One titles and

649
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:22.880
exclusive savings each month. This was
probably inevitable. I get the sense that

650
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:28.840
Microsoft has very much about games with
Gold, right Yeah, and also in

651
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.719
terms of bringing three sixty games,
it's been almost ten years since the news

652
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:36.920
since Xbox One launched, So yeah, it was bad. Time was bad

653
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:38.400
to happened. You're still getting You're
still getting games, whilst the games of

654
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:44.159
Gold is a weird thing that like
I have Game Pass Ultimate, I don't

655
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:46.840
think about games with Gold anymore.
I think about access to game Pass.

656
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:51.599
So I wouldn't be surprised if games
with Gold would get, like, I

657
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:54.760
don't know, some kind of overhaul
to maybe be on the same par as

658
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:59.159
what you're getting with PlayStation Plus.
Yeah, I get yelled at for every

659
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:00.920
time I bring this episode. It's
like you lied, but I'm sorry.

660
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:06.679
Microsoft has had it on its roadmap
to get rid of Xbox Live Gold at

661
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.679
some point in the future. They're
not there yet, but that is the

662
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:14.920
plan eventually is to take away Xbox
Live Gold. I think that you if

663
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.559
you kind of like just kind of
take a vibe check on them, like

664
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:22.760
where their heart is. Obviously it's
all about game Pass and and that's that's

665
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:23.519
how I feel when I use the
service, Like you, I don't think

666
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:27.760
about games with Gold, and I
think they don't think very much about it

667
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:30.599
either. I get that some people
like the idea of like, okay,

668
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:32.800
at least with games with Gold.
If I get a game on there,

669
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.119
I have it as long as I
maintain my subscription with game Pass. Even

670
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:40.000
if I have a subscription, some
games come and go, like for example,

671
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:43.639
there was as we'll talk about it, like yeah, Kuza was gone

672
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:45.159
for a while. Many of the
games are back, but it went away

673
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.719
for a while, and then it's
like even if I kept my subscription that

674
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:50.920
whole time, and some people like
just oh, I'm just building up my

675
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:54.400
own library with Games with Gold.
I get that Microsoft just doesn't isn't that

676
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:59.159
into it anymore, and so eventually
it'll go away. When that happens,

677
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:02.679
I have no idea, but I
think they still plan to make Xbox Live

678
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:08.880
Gold go away. Let's see us. Someone found a dragon Ball Hoi Poi

679
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:15.639
capsule in Fortnite's update files, so
dragon Ball stuff could be coming to Fortnite.

680
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:17.159
I'll tell you this, Lucy,
if you would have told me there's

681
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.360
a ton of dragon Ball stuff in
there already, I would have believed you.

682
00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:23.639
I genuinely thought there already was.
But then again, that maybe shows

683
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:29.760
how let know about dragon Ball or
even Fortnite stuff. Yeah, so a

684
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:31.880
Hoi Poi capsule here, let me
bring let me just get an image here

685
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:36.119
for everybody so we can I'll be
on the same page. Oh hey,

686
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:38.320
there we go the capsules. Like
you know, it's just something from like

687
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:42.760
like the dragon Ball cartoon and Mango
are things that like when you would throw

688
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:44.800
it on the ground, like a
big machine would come out or whatever.

689
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.159
But people found this in the code
and suggest, Okay, maybe a bunch

690
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:51.920
of other dragon Ball stuff would come. I would love to see Goku in

691
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:55.480
there, vegeta. I would I
would play probably some more Fortnite, Yes,

692
00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:00.000
the lads. Finally, Piccolo,
I would totally go. I would

693
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.239
maim Krillin. That would be my
go too. So I love me some

694
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:08.400
krolling. You've named all of the
dragon Ball characters I know, so I

695
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:12.280
couldn't even contribute, But like,
what do you know that we all know

696
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.639
that you love Yamcha. We know
you're a number one Yamcha fan all the

697
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:21.360
way my tattoo. Like, what
are they gonna do with that? Hoi?

698
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:23.159
I was gonna say, Hoi POLLOI
that's something different, Hoi poi?

699
00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:27.800
Is that gonna be like a thing
that a chug jug? Whatever? I

700
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.679
mean? I feel old saying is. I'm like like one time I was

701
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:37.039
in a target with Tam and we
walked past all these funkos and I became

702
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.760
a mum, like I regressed into
my final mum form where I was like,

703
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.719
do you want to buy that go
ku like a goku? And he

704
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.599
and Tim was like, oh my
god, no. So I don't know

705
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:50.960
is this gonna be a chug jug? I mean I would love for it

706
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:52.599
to be a choke jo. I
think it's probably gonna because they brought vehicles

707
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.079
in the fortnight. I bet this
is you throw it on the ground and

708
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:59.760
it can like store vehicles or something
like that, and then you can put

709
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:02.119
the vehicle back in your pocket in
this in this little ji play caps.

710
00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:06.400
So I haven't played for Fortnite and
forever, so maybe something that's already possible,

711
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:08.199
but that that would be my guests
and be cool to throw this thing

712
00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:13.800
on the ground and get Balma's little
scooter thing. That would be very fun.

713
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.760
Let's see we've mentioned this. Xbox
game Pass adds Yakuza games to its

714
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.039
packed July schedule. Rachel Kaiser at
Games to be helping out here. Xbox

715
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:25.239
announced the first batch of games coming
to game Pass in July, and it

716
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:29.920
is a doozy compared with June's rather
anemic second offering. The first two weeks

717
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:34.000
of July, we'll see several titles
joining the platform, including three more Yakuza

718
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:37.119
games. To start. A few
games get Day one launches on game Pass,

719
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:42.400
including match Point Tennis Championships, Power
Wash Simulator for consoles, and Escape

720
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:45.639
Academy power Washed power Yes, I
want to play Escape Academy. Have you

721
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:47.760
played that at all? Because that
was I think it got a demo over

722
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:52.639
the summer, right, It was
a It was at the Jeff Fest Jeff,

723
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:55.840
but I missed it and everyone was
talking about how good it was,

724
00:46:55.960 --> 00:47:00.000
so I definitely want to get back
in. Yeah, Jess was pretty excited

725
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:01.880
about it, so I think we'll
make something happen with that that'd be fun.

726
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:06.679
Powerwashed Them has been available to play
via early access for over a year,

727
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.119
but it's finally seen its full release. We also get puzzle game Last

728
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:14.280
Call BBS, which is available on
the platform now. Last Call BBS is

729
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:17.079
I think a Zaxtronic game. I
think it's the last Zatronics game because they

730
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:22.280
announced they're closing that studio. So
cool that they got a bag from Microsoft.

731
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:24.920
I think they think it was a
we might have talked about on the

732
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:28.000
show. I think they're closing the
studio in like a good way, like

733
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:30.480
hey, we've done all this stuff, we're gonna do And I think the

734
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:34.039
Zack and Zachtronics got a job as
like a professor or something and he's like,

735
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.800
I'm on. So it was like
they had like a going away game,

736
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.320
and it's cool that they had this
ready to go. The other games

737
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.880
now Availabarriakusa Zero, Kawami and Kawami
two, which rejoined the rest of the

738
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:50.199
Accusa series on the platform after being
kicked off less than a year ago.

739
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.079
The next wave of additions joined on
July seventh, WHI should include DJ Max,

740
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:59.159
Respect five, Road ninety six,
and the aforementioned match Point. The

741
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:02.400
final wave of on July fourteen,
includes a new kid a few new kid

742
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:07.920
friendly editions like My Friend Pepper Pig
and Paul Patrol, the movie Adventure City

743
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:10.880
Calls, as well as action horror
title Overwhelm, Lucy. Can I tell

744
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:15.239
you when I'm most excited about out
all these? It better be My Friend

745
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:21.880
Pepper Pig. It's it's very close. It actually is Positive City because it's

746
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.480
the games I would never ever buy
for my kids. But now that they're

747
00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:28.559
there, I'm at because they love
the Paul Patrol movie. So I'm like,

748
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:30.760
yeah, I'll put this on for
you. You want to play video

749
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:32.199
games, go ahead and play this
one and they'll they'll be very excited about

750
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:37.119
it. They are. They've only
seen Pepa Pig a few times on YouTube.

751
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:42.360
They've been fine with it, but
Paul Patrol is a different patrols who

752
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:47.599
different itself. Absolutely, Yeah,
my nieces love both, so I but

753
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:52.360
I think Pepper Pig would probably edge
out Paul Patrol. Yeah, I'm gonna

754
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:54.480
see if I can. I'll put
it. I'll put both in front of

755
00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:58.840
them and see what they choose.
I bet there'll be some interest in the

756
00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:01.440
Pepper Pig game, because when things
turn into video games, they get some

757
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:06.480
more interest anyhow, so we'll check
out pep a Pig. I do love

758
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:09.480
the way that action horror title Overwhelm
has been thrown in with the kids selections.

759
00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:14.639
Yes exactly, Yeah, basically just
a the pigs all Patrol or Overwhelm.

760
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:16.239
What do you want to play today? I mean, listen, the

761
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:20.800
choice is yours. That's the magical
thing about games. You could go either

762
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:23.880
way. All right, we have
the question from forever ago. Now what

763
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:28.760
is it's today's Wednesday. I think
I asked this on Friday. Which would

764
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:32.239
you rather play as in a video
game? Cats? Dogs or Hamsters?

765
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:37.840
And with the big win here,
Cats edged out dogs and Hamsters with forty

766
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:40.840
four percent of the vote, nearly
half half of the votes all to Cat's

767
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:44.840
house. I think this is actually
just the correct answer for a video game

768
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:49.039
because they they're like cats can go
live their own lives in a way where

769
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:52.559
it's like, okay, a cat
on the street is not tragic. It's

770
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:54.559
like it's a stray cat. It's
it's it's it's sad, but it's not

771
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:58.519
tragic. A dog on the street
is tragic, like that is like,

772
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:00.960
that's not fun in any way,
Like there's there's no like you're not imagining

773
00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:06.039
that dog off like living this life
of adventure and figuring out problems on itself.

774
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:07.800
It's like, no, it needs
love. It's not getting it.

775
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:09.719
That's tragic. A cat's like,
I'll figure this out, you know,

776
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.239
get love whatever. So it's like
happy. Yeah, a cat sort of

777
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:16.039
in that situation, Like in the
game Stray it's like, Okay, this

778
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:20.920
is whimsical and particularly fun. And
then they are great at jumping and running

779
00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:23.159
around and climbing on stuff. So
I think a cat just makes a better

780
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:27.960
hero in a video game. Hamsters, they'll get in the shaft absolutely with

781
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:30.599
only twenty five percent of the road. I was playing some over Watch two

782
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.199
last night and I forgot how much
I hate the Hamster in that game,

783
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:37.599
Hammond. So right, yes,
I've never I've never. I have not

784
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:42.760
played since Hammond got added. So
what is the problem with Hammond? He's

785
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:45.719
got too much mobility He's just like
a really annoying character. He has so

786
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:49.840
much mobility. He can be really
fasted. If you don't focus via him,

787
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:55.280
or if your Sombra doesn't do her
job and hack him, it can

788
00:50:55.320 --> 00:51:00.480
be a real issue, especially when
you play heels. So you know,

789
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:04.360
not not that I have, not
that I have any lingering resent. No,

790
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.000
that can't. I don't notice any
of that. I don't sense anything

791
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:09.000
like that. Dog's got thirty one
percent of the boat. By the way,

792
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:13.960
everybody, are you excited about Stray? Because I am, I'm getting

793
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:16.960
more excited about Stray. Yeah,
I am. I'm also just like this

794
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:22.119
kind of like this lull period where
you know that I'm waiting for the next

795
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:25.239
big thing to play, and Stray
is definitely right on my alley. Obviously,

796
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:29.280
I have a cat. I'm gonna
sit there with her and go,

797
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:31.119
look it's you, and I'm sure
she will ignore me the whole time.

798
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:36.440
Question, Yes, the question for
tomorrow. I'm writing it down. You

799
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:37.920
want to kind of read through it
as I'm going here, Which would you

800
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:43.000
rather have? Yeah, what would
you all have? Switch pro this year

801
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:49.280
or switch to in twenty twenty four. M It's like you have to it's

802
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.199
like an either or so like if
if we get a switch pro this year,

803
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.199
I suppose that's not enough for him. But basically the inherent thing here

804
00:51:55.239 --> 00:51:57.800
is if you get a switch pro
this year, you're gonna have to wait

805
00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:00.599
a little bit longer for the switch
too, so that would be switched two

806
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:05.119
in twenty twenty five. May both
do that in follow pool exactly. So

807
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:08.559
there we go. Let's let's just
send that oh you know what, and

808
00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:13.800
then we'll do the game Mess mornings
so I can fight it easily and there

809
00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:16.760
we go. All right, there
we go. So we'll discuss this tomorrow

810
00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:22.760
on the show. We should be
having jan on tomorrow and he'll give us

811
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:25.519
all the inns. He knows all
about the the switch pro. He's just

812
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:29.960
been hiding it, Jans with the
real feat all this. He's a man

813
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:34.760
on the inside exactly. Okay,
So with that, we'll talk about the

814
00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.039
results tomorrow. We'll have another Morning
Mess to talk about him, John Bob

815
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.559
tomorrow. We got a bunch of
stuff happening still on the site this week,

816
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:45.199
including today. I believe that we
are doing the Arcade Pit on giant

817
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:50.119
bomb dot com soon after this,
so I'm looking forward to checking out.

818
00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:52.320
We're gonna have a good crew on
there. Earlier this week we did the

819
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:57.519
power Bomb Cast, which has returned. I was on there. I got

820
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.480
Mike Manotti on there to talk about
wrestling, and we had super ipatch Wolf

821
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:04.719
was on. It was a good
crew. We had a lot of fun

822
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:07.039
talking about that. Look for that. It's on the Giant Bomb Presents feed.

823
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:10.480
It's also on YouTube. Lucy,
you've got anything happened in this week?

824
00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:15.480
So a thousand pardons because there isn't
a new episode of Jeff Jess was

825
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:20.440
our adventure this week because the short
week did kind of screw us over a

826
00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:23.239
little bit when it came to scheduling
it. Obviously, you know Tam and

827
00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:27.360
I West Coast, Jeff, East
Coast, John over An Island. So

828
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:30.320
we know episode this week, but
we'll be back next week and we'll be

829
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:37.599
back with the weekly cadence. Almost
at the end of one Punchman BombCast,

830
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:40.159
I was on yesterday and then we
are filming a new episode of Very online

831
00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:45.159
show on Friday, so that should
hopefully go out next week. And Jan

832
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:46.960
said, yeah, Pitts starts in
and now it's Team in Max Vos's Team

833
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:51.320
Double finds I is gonna be eight. Yeah, it's gonna be a good

834
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:54.320
one. Let's see albumers going up
today, d NF dual quick look.

835
00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:58.119
I believe Tam and Jason are gonna
be looking at that. I'm gonna be

836
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:01.480
watching that one. Then tomorrow got
Voicemail, Dumb Truck and the Neon White

837
00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:06.719
Open, which I think it's just
an invitational, but we really wanted those

838
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:09.400
INWO. We wanted the nWo thing. That's some special guests coming in and

839
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:12.639
I don't know if it's been confirmed
who yet, so I'm not gonna say,

840
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:15.440
but oh, they're keeping the special
guests, keep the special guests special,

841
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:17.519
very exciting. It's gonna be a
good time, though. You should

842
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:22.360
definitely tune in. I'm gonna beat
everybody, so it's like the the end

843
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:24.039
is already determined, but it's about
the journey along the way. There's gonna

844
00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:25.880
be drama along the way. In
the end. I'm gonna win though,

845
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:31.559
and then humbling having you on my
friend's list, and then Unprofessional Fridays on

846
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:35.599
Friday. Please tune in for that. Uh Lucy, let's get out of

847
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:37.000
here. Let's think about it.
The people, thank You're already for tuning
