everybody. My name's Mike Manaughty. I'm

9
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:03,920
very happened to be making this appearance
today on this this podcast. I think

10
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,480
I've heard of it before, called
Gay Best. It's so nice of Jeff

11
00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:15,799
to invite beyond here to be a
part of today's proceedings. H Jeff,

12
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,280
Oh, Jeff, look, I
get it. We did do Gay Best

13
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:25,400
morning together. It is like we're
just back. It took a long break.

14
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:27,040
I just clicked the wrong button.
I clicked the wrong tab. It's

15
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:34,319
still up from this morning. The
whole thing you read, Oh my god,

16
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,079
I read the whole thing, and
I tell you what I since something

17
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:48,239
was wrong but I didn't know what
and I just kept riding it. Oh

18
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:52,079
no, I think, oh no, oh this is bad. Okay,

19
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,959
this is some deep Oh yeah,
absolutely is a sign of a deep,

20
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,079
dark problem with my life. But
uh, it's the Internet. You're bad

21
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,680
to us too. So wecome the
Decided Podcast. What are we deciding today?

22
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:08,960
Decide nineteen ninety seven best video games
and we're getting to decide the genitalia

23
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,479
for our characters. And definitely a
penis C right now, I tell you,

24
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,199
big PENC energy, Big Penis C
penisc energy. Mike, please just

25
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:24,240
tell me how you're doing. I'm
great snacks. Welcome to grus Snacks there,

26
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:30,120
right, buddy, let's go how
games making money? Um? Yeah,

27
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:34,120
I'm doing fantastic. I got to
play some Voters game right before this.

28
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:38,039
I streamed a couple of hours of
it. Yeah they got I think

29
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,240
they like they're onto something there.
Me too. I've not played a couple

30
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,800
hours and played about an hour and
was like, oh, now I get

31
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000
it. This seems like something that
could be very fun. Uh. I

32
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:51,000
think I probably do want to play
as much as as possible, and multiplayer

33
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,319
I just don't. I mean,
how do you do eighty hour RPG.

34
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,919
See, I want to do the
opposite. I don't think I ever want

35
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,439
to play that Caveman multi player.
I like the idea of um doing a

36
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,439
Dungeons and Dragons sort of thing in
a very confined environment like this, where

37
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:07,439
um, you know, most of
the fun is taken care of for us,

38
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:13,039
but then I can still get the
campaign, you know, with friends,

39
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,479
campaigning with friends sort of energy by
doing multiplayers. UM. Also just

40
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:19,919
seems like it's like they did a
lot of work to make that interesting by

41
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,800
you being able to wherever you see
what it's like. But I'm skeptical.

42
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:25,960
I'm skeptical that yeah, yeah,
it's uh yeah, right, how does

43
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,240
that all work together? And does
it actually is it that much more fun?

44
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:32,240
Or you know that the game is
about the story and the characters,

45
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,280
so maybe it is all actually better
by yourself, But I don't know.

46
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Well, we'll talk a little bit
more about that. We're gonna talk about

47
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,879
Nintinill making money, Quake two remaster
possibly coming all that first though, do

48
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,199
you have something to say I didn't
know about this Quake two remaster news.

49
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Yeah, there's there's rumors out there. I'm not gonna sounds quite cons happening

50
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,039
soon? Isn't interesting? I think, I think it's happening soon. Yes,

51
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,319
and it's happening. Is it happening
this month? That makes sense.

52
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:59,319
I saw there's a quake, con
sale or something, so I assumed it

53
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,120
was happening. I think quick CON's
happening like next week, I think.

54
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,039
But hey, hey, hey,
we'll check on that real quick. This

55
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,800
is episode three hundred and eleven.
That's as many episodes as the as The

56
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,120
Giant Beast Cast had. So get
fucked Beast Cast? Is it really?

57
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,480
Jeez? Forget eleven? Was the
last episode? We looked that up the

58
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:18,639
other day as I lostened up,
It's like, aren't we like literally like

59
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,839
last week? I was like,
aren't we almost at three to eleven?

60
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:27,240
There we go, Finally a better

columbros Umbras. I'm back from vacations, so we actually have to do something

77
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,759
with that now. Ideas, Yes, we have some ideas. It'll be

78
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,680
fun, all right. I have
some big topics of the week I want

79
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,240
to discuss with you. Mike.
Are you ready, mikey ready? Boulders

80
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,720
Gate three has a lot of people
playing it right this very second when I

81
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,519
check before the show, right now, before the show, that we're doing

82
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:44,519
it was at about four hundred and
forty thousand concurrent players on Steam. Games

83
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,600
don't do that, like like,
there's a handful of games that do,

84
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:51,879
and they're the biggest games in the
world. This game is doing that.

85
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:58,959
That is it's incomprehensible how successful this
game is. Obviously a lot of it

86
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,519
is zeitgeist, but he just you
can't manufacture this stuff. This sort of

87
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:04,959
thing just happens because it's get you
know, a lot of bent pent up

88
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,240
demand, and it's it's giving people
what they want, and it's also doing

89
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,959
it in a surprising way, in
a bold way. And when you put

90
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:15,560
bear fucking in your game, that's
just what happens, right, Yeah,

91
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:18,879
I think there's been a lot of
hunger for one of these, Jeff,

92
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,839
we have, you know, think
about the Dragon Age Freaks, right,

93
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:26,560
this isn't exactly like that, but
for those people, this is probably the

94
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,720
closest they've gotten to that in a
long time. Especially they don't want to

95
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,759
play. You know, We've had
some other CRPGs lately that are probably looking

96
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,959
more traditional. Even this has that
kind of triple a sheen to it that

97
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:42,480
I think it's just going to help
it appeal to more people that stuff just

98
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,800
does I mean, and I played
it for a couple hours right before this.

99
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,480
I was pretty shocked how good the
production vetues are. I haven't tried

100
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,480
it an early access or anything.
I was like, Oh, this is

101
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:57,439
like a much more of just a
big triple A RPG that I was kind

102
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,800
of expecting. I thought maybe this
would be the aim to get lost in

103
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,839
the shuffle of all these big games
coming out. Nope, moving a little

104
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:10,720
bit was very smart because this is
now just another chapter in what excuse me,

105
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,120
has been a ridiculously good year.
Yeah, and it's this game feels

106
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,319
like it is going to hit all
of the beats in terms of getting attention

107
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:24,759
at the right time. So here's
its big launch on PC. It's hugely

108
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,959
successful. It's getting really good reviews
or good word of mouth so far,

109
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,519
you know, when people haven't had
enough time to play it for most reviews

110
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:32,839
to come out, but it's you
know, people are positive about it.

111
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,000
And then all the excitement of it's
selling really well is going to get those

112
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,759
people on PlayStation five excited. And
when everyone is playing in Starfield, it's

113
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:45,199
going to launch that day on PS
five and those PS five players are like,

114
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:46,079
well, I'll just play poulterers Gate
three then and then it's going to

115
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,199
have another huge successful day, I
bet. So this game is just prime

116
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:56,000
to crush and and it already is
obviously, and you know, I think

117
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,199
a lot of it just seems earned. And boy, I think early access

118
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:05,879
is an unsung sort of hero in
terms of getting games like this into a

119
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,839
strong Like Hades is the last one
that was like, maybe not the last

120
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:11,079
one, last one that I can
think of that just had a long early

121
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,720
access period, was very popular throughout
that early access period, and then it

122
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:18,480
went one point zero and it just
demolished and took over the entire world.

123
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,480
And I would be very happy if
more games did exactly this. And I

124
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,839
think this game feels like the one
that can convince more bigger games to actually

125
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:31,800
try that. I know some people
are like, oh, you know,

126
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:33,279
moments it's triple a game and should
just be finished when I play it.

127
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,919
Fuck that do this? This is
great? Well, because I you know,

128
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,559
like I don't like I don't like
early access, so I just didn't

129
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,440
play it. I touch just game
in early access. But there's a lot

130
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,679
of people who are like happy to
get that feedback or happy to like experience

131
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,679
throughout that and it's like they're going
to do all the beta testing for you

132
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,799
and now there is a refined product. Yeah exactly. And you know it

133
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,440
also helped cause you know, so
those are all people who have been buying

134
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,159
this game over the course of you
know, the couple of years it's been

135
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,480
in early access or whatever it's been. That's part of why there is such

136
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,320
a big first day, I think, because they're already you know, it's

137
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,120
not like sales or this game went
up today. There there's been some pre

138
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:09,320
orders a month before. People have
been buying this game over the course of

139
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:13,399
years, and now they're all immediately
jumping in and we can you know,

140
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,399
if if almost five hundred thousand people
are playing at a given moment and the

141
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,879
game has already sold over a million
copies, probably even two million at that

142
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,039
point, it's not like everybody who
bought the game is playing it right now,

143
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,519
right, So yeah, all right, it's insane for this kind of

144
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,799
game, which you would think is
pretty niche Yes, And like you would,

145
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,519
you would also think that those early
access sales people be like, well,

146
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,759
yeah, I tried it an early
access and so I'm not like rushing

147
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:39,240
to get back to it for the
one point. Oh no, that didn't

148
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,679
rushing They are rushing back. Everyone
wants to be here for day one,

149
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,879
whether they played it or not.
And yeah, it's just it's a sign

150
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,080
that that early access I think is
going to continue to grow. And you

151
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,360
know, fire Hair and Chet says
man, I wouldn't mind it if this

152
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:54,080
is what it takes to get COT
or remake off the ground, likeactly what

153
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,720
they should do, Like you're not
worried about spoilers right now? Who cares?

154
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,039
Like God, they should have done
that. Yeah, and they should

155
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,799
still try it, Like that is
a very good idea for a game like

156
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,600
that, three years of early access
like this game got for for code or

157
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:09,960
remake. Yeah, but I would
that would I would just I would love

158
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,639
that. I would be very happy
with that. If someone who's had really

159
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,120
good experiences with early access games like
Dead Cells and others before Minecraft and Kurbel

160
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:22,120
Space program like it has always worked
for me for the most part, and

161
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:26,000
when it doesn't, it's like okay, yeah, so what, I lost

162
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:28,919
a little bit of money on a
game that I'd end up not liking.

163
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:35,360
That happens with finished games all the
time, So so what um, I

164
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:39,840
mean this is also it feels like
it is coming on the it's riding the

165
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:45,240
wave of Dungeons and Dragons being more
popular than it's ever been. Clearly,

166
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,039
I think people people heard like,
hey, this is a good way to

167
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,080
experience Dungeons and Dragons as a video
game. It's like the most robust take

168
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,200
on that ever, and I think
that's having an effect as well. What

169
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,840
do you think? Yeah, I
mean, I know the movie wasn't a

170
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:58,360
bag it, but people did really
like it. I don't was that movie

171
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:03,000
Forgotten Realms or is it something else? I don't know. I don't know.

172
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,759
I honestly, I don't know the
difference between Forgotten don Realms is just

173
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:09,960
where I said, a very like
a very popular setting that a lot of

174
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,679
D and D stuff takes place in. It was originally just some guys setting.

175
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,840
I think it ended up working at
a Wizards the Coast or whatever it

176
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:18,759
is that does that stuff. So
a lot of things, most of the

177
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:22,919
big stuff do you think of,
was D and D Like Never Winter It

178
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,440
was definitely I mean, I know
Never Winter was in it and they talked

179
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,440
about that, but I know the
there you go then, Yeah, So

180
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,879
basically I think basically most of the
mainstream D and D stuff takes place in

181
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,720
forgotten realms, which you know,
makes sense. You have that kind of

182
00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:39,240
unified setting and lore that you can
work with. It makes a lot of

183
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:41,960
sense. I started watching that movie
and I had a really good time,

184
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,679
and yeah, I sugar back and
fan of shit. Yeah yeah. My

185
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:46,840
my one brother saw it and like
the one who's even kind of less into

186
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:50,879
fantasy nerds stuff, and he actually
seemed to like it a lot. I

187
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,759
like Chris Pratt just fine, So
yeah, I should see that movie.

188
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:56,080
But no, I think you're right. You know, a lot of the

189
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,679
stuff that was probably really impenetrable for
a lot lot of people, even in

190
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:03,960
the nineties. I think a lot
of us are much more used to the

191
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:09,240
concept of rolling. Yeah, what's
wrong, you said Pratt? And I

192
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,039
was like, I knew that was
the right, but aptit care enough to

193
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,799
because it's so they're all Chris Is
to us, They're all just Chrismas exactly,

194
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,399
Chris p Yeah, Chris PA was
going to clap you, so I

195
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,039
was just trying to do it before
claps No matter what I do, Yeah,

196
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,679
boomer take Oh. I thought to
say, do you see Gary Witta

197
00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:30,000
clap the people calling him boomer.
I was like, hell yeah, Gary,

198
00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,559
Hell yeah, we're on your side
like that. Although if I staying

199
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,360
with you, that means I am
a boomer because you're very old. Love

200
00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:41,080
you, Gary, but it's like, yeah, I mean the movie did

201
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:45,799
okay, But I mean some of
those D and D real play podcasts are

202
00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:50,279
the biggest podcasts in the world.
Critical Role is an industry unto itself,

203
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:54,639
so that stuff has penetrated the mainstream, and I think this game is benefiting

204
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,919
from it. People are like telling
me I should do D and D.

205
00:12:58,039 --> 00:12:58,879
While I was playing this, I
was like, it's hard to get grouped.

206
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:03,360
Well, I think we one day
maybe think about that. Yeah,

207
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,399
we definitely should. I think that
would be uh, that would be fun

208
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,600
and maybe we could be something we
could do with game masks. We could

209
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,159
do that with the Giant Bomb as
well. Maybe that could work. Um,

210
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,440
I would really enjoy that. I
have never liked hard to get a

211
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,879
group together. You have to find
we got a serious dungeon master, right,

212
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:24,600
Oh yeah, for sure, exactly. We'll see something we'll think about.

213
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,480
But I'm very I am very impressed, just both with the success already

214
00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:33,120
and with the quality of the game. Both really have exceeded my expectations.

215
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,639
I think this is going to be
kind of kind of a big deal.

216
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,159
I don't think it's funny because like
Pater's Gate was always a sort of kind

217
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:41,480
of a big deal in the nisos, this prestige thing, we all knew

218
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:43,480
about it. This seems like I
think this is going to hit a lot

219
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,080
more people than even that did in
its height. Who knows what that means.

220
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Maybe Walter's Great Faked four might happen
sooner rather than later. Maybe it's

221
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,720
when Dale's back on the menu,
right, never winner all this stuff.

222
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,120
And maybe I'm getting too excited too
early because it is just day one,

223
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:07,360
but boy, this seems like a
really good day one. Yeah, and

224
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,960
it's like, I mean, we
don't have to jump to what does this

225
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,759
mean next? But yeah, like
you said, they could do the Iceman

226
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:16,240
Dale, never Winter Nights, all
those things. But Larry and Larry and

227
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:20,080
the developer of this game, they
came off Divinity Original Sin too, a

228
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,360
very similarly praised game, although you
know that was never in the realm of

229
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,360
success this is having, although it
was very successful, very successful for what

230
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,519
it was. Yeah, um,
you know do they. It kind of

231
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:35,000
feels like the gravity of this is
going to pull them into almost no matter

232
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,480
what, you're going to do a
follow up the Boulder Skate three of some

233
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,200
kind. Well, right, and
they've said they have already said they want

234
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,720
to go back to Divinity original sins
And I get that that's their world,

235
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:50,120
of course, but it feels like
the forgotten realms are going to come a

236
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,320
call in again at some point here. Yeah, and you know this is

237
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:58,960
um I think the kind of thing
where they may have like a from software

238
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,559
are like like our here where you're
like, yeah, we do we want

239
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,440
to go back and do our own
thing, but maybe they will just grow

240
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,120
enough that they can kind of do
both going forward. And uh, this

241
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:15,679
studio feels it does feel like the
RPG King now they have and that was

242
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,000
a vacuum that has been left open
by EA, EAS, BioWare and a

243
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:22,600
handful of other studios that just sort
of like we're like, we're not going

244
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:26,519
to make those kinds of games anymore. And then it seems like a really

245
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:33,720
stupid decision and even more already did
really fucking stupid. Yeah, I mean

246
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:35,720
I get that, you like,
it's so easy to like, if we

247
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,360
just make this game, we sand
off some of these edges and we make

248
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,320
it about shooting and all this stuff, it's going to appeal to this wider

249
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,480
audience. And it's like, man, you just don't go for the wider

250
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,759
audience, go for the horn of
your audience, and just go for the

251
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:52,000
people who are just desperate for this
kind of game. And here it is.

252
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,480
Turns out more than ever people are
either curious or very into this kind

253
00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:00,360
of game, and here we are. And you're right, a lot of

254
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,639
it comes down to high production values. You know, you start the game

255
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,440
after your character creator and you see
like that long view and you're like,

256
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,200
oh, yeah, it's a top
down and then you zoom in a little

257
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,759
bit. It's, oh, Matt, God, look at all the detail

258
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:12,679
here. This is like, this
is an increasing amount of detail. Yeah,

259
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,440
I kind of wasn't expecting it,
you know, just when you're talking

260
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:18,039
to Yeah. I liked the video
originals in two, but it was still

261
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:23,080
very much always overhead, you know, character dialogue box is talking to That's

262
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,799
fine, I don't have a problem
with it. But this is when you're

263
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,519
talking to people, it is suddenly
much more like that Dragon Age style.

264
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,200
But you know, kind of looks
better than Dragon Age ever did. Really,

265
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:38,320
so just really impressive, really really
impressed. This year is just ridiculous.

266
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,240
Jeff Yep, I uh, it's
it's gonna be a tough one.

267
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,080
Like listen, I think kind of
Tears of the Kingdom is still surprisingly for

268
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:51,840
how strong this year is the shoe
in for Game of the Year. But

269
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:56,519
figuring out what that top ten looks
like, it's going to be exciting because

270
00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,360
there's so many possibilities for very good
games to be in that two, three,

271
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,879
four, five, six, seven
slot and maybe you know, Walter's

272
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:06,960
Gate if it picks up momentum from
this point, it very easily could be

273
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,039
the kind of thing where it's like, actually, no enough people love that

274
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,720
enough that it could knock Zelda off
in a lot of a Game of the

275
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:15,480
Year. I mean the fact that
this could like probably be up there,

276
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,599
and like the nominations at the Game
Years for Game Awards for a Game of

277
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:26,400
the Year, that's at yep.
Absolutely. There was then the Tendo earnings

278
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,039
report where they announced that the Switches
at one hundred and thirty million units sold

279
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:34,400
and the Tiers of the Kingdom is
at eighteen point five million copies sold and

280
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,880
that's in about two months, like
a little bit under two months, very

281
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:44,599
impressive for both the Switch hardware sales
were up sixty percent in Japan year over

282
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,720
year. They were down seven percent
in the Americas. So it's like,

283
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,599
yeah, the hardware, and that's
I think, Um, it was something

284
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,799
about Japan right now is just getting
even more into the Switch than ever before.

285
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,559
That's happening with both tiers of the
Kingdom. But also pick him and

286
00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:00,640
four doing very well there. Yeah, are they having like what's the economic

287
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,200
situation in Japan right now? Is
or Canny any kind of boost or something

288
00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:08,759
happening over there? I mean no, not necessarily. There's um, you

289
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:11,880
know, the the yen has been
very devalued, but that's that would that

290
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,000
means they have less purchasing power and
yet they're still showing up for all these

291
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:19,000
Nintendo games. So honestly, I
think it's I think it's beyond the economic

292
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:23,079
situation and it comes down to excitement
about Nintendo is higher than ever. And

293
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,480
maybe it's the Mario movie, Like
maybe people are just like maybe super into

294
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:33,599
Nintendo overall and it's manifesting across all
these games. Could be that, but

295
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,960
man, let me gosh again.
Pickman four the last couple of nights,

296
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,920
I've really been playing that and for
some reason, like getting past all this

297
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,640
stuff in the demo and actually,
sorry, I think playing that one off

298
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,440
stream. I don't know why that
mattered. Really enjoying that now too.

299
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,440
Pickman four is really fun. It's
really good. I'm really enjoying that loop.

300
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,119
It has so much of a I'll
just do one more day kind of

301
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,599
a thing. I would just do
this one more thing and then stuff to

302
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,599
like keep that interesting. And because
there's always like, oh one more day,

303
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,960
now do one more of these things, it doesn't take as much time.

304
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,079
And it's it's it's fair. The
people who are like video games aren't

305
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:15,359
goodnymore, such stupid assholes. It's
the stupidest take you could possibly you know.

306
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,440
And I love retro gaming and I
would be fine just playing games for

307
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,440
the rest of my life. I
had to so many video games. There's

308
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,680
just coming in spite of everything,
in spite of all this shit, like

309
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:29,599
how hard it is to make them, how problematic it can be sometimes like

310
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:33,039
every you know, all these challenges
and we are still getting a year like

311
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:37,559
this. If you think that overall
video games just aren't what they used to

312
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,599
be. Are bad. You are
just a stupid asshole, yep. And

313
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,759
it's uh, it's very like it's
annoying because a lot of that, there's

314
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,519
sentiment like that from all kinds of
corners. But a lot of time,

315
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:52,039
a lot of times I'll hear from
like doctor disrespects is like it's weird.

316
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:56,160
Yeah, oh you're you're you're like, you're getting bored. It's playing the

317
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,319
same shooters for forever. Like,
honestly, look in the mirror. If

318
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:02,480
you're looking for someone to blame for
that game. People started making games for

319
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:06,519
you, and here we are.
But like, if you could just step

320
00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:08,680
out of your damn comfort zone a
little bit, there are so much amazing

321
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:15,079
stuff happening everywhere, to the point
where like this year, it is happening

322
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,319
in every it feels like every single
too, Like a battle bit is like

323
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:21,960
an interesting multiplayer shooter. And then
you know, and then all these indie

324
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,599
games are being super successful and then
Triple A games, I don't they rarely

325
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,279
have they been better like they have, Like we are lucky. I think

326
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:30,519
it's the best time to be playing
video games. For sure. It has

327
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:36,480
been insane yea, Tiers of the
Kingdom eighteen point five million copies sold.

328
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:41,559
That's very good. Yeah, I
mean fantastic that you compare that to the

329
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,160
first party releases for any other platform. None of them sell that fast.

330
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:51,400
Just not a single one has a
game that sells that fast. Spider Man

331
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,240
will come out and it'll sell faster
than any other PlayStation game Spider Man two

332
00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:57,200
later this year, it will not
be at eighteen point five million copies in

333
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,599
two months. It won't even be
close. So uh yeah, it's that's

334
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,119
just Zelda is one of these top
tier franchises beyond anything else in gaming right

335
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,480
now, and Nintendo's really capitalizing on
that. A few updates on the switch

336
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,960
too, and let's not like let's
start like a little warning here. I

337
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,519
listened to Nate the Hates podcast where
these rumors are coming from. He said,

338
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:26,000
this is informed speculation, nothing confirmed, but he's heard rumors murmuring.

339
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,720
He says, whispers, industry whispers, which I know what he means by

340
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,839
that, and it's like stuff you
can't confirm, Like that's just what that

341
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,000
means. And I know what.
I've kind of heard something similar, but

342
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,480
nothing like the details that he has
of the screen, that LCD screen that's

343
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,559
not an old being eight inches instead
of like I think the seven point five

344
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:48,240
or seven inches that the old switches. And then it will have five hundred

345
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,039
and twelve gigabytes of internal storage,
not an SSD, it'll be flash storage,

346
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:56,400
so e MMC, which is kind
of what like the steam the base

347
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,960
steam deck has, which is actually
surprising fast these days, if you get

348
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,160
a fast enough CPU to process that
stuff. Um, how's that signed?

349
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,640
You? Sound of you? Mike? It sounds about right. I mean,

350
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,200
you know, I'm not shocked.
It's uh, it would be nice

351
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,440
to have an SSD in there,
nice to have an all let the screen

352
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,799
being a little bigger, fine whatever, Uh yeah, that's fine. That's

353
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,079
none of the stuff I'm really really
expecting or opinning by hopes on. So

354
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,119
much of it is just kind of
what's the what's the CPU and GPU going

355
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,839
to be like? What is what
are the quality of the game's gonna look

356
00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:30,920
like? What? What's it going
to be comparable too? Is comparable to

357
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,039
place you should for? Places you
shouldn't for? Plus what did they call

358
00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:37,680
that shit place? Bro? Bro? Yes? Yes, you know,

359
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:41,240
So that's that's all I want to
just want my games to look at bit

360
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:45,440
better and to run a bit better. That's practically all I need from the

361
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:51,519
new switch. More storage. Sure
SSD not shocked that that's something they're probably

362
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:55,559
gonna make us this time. I
want there will be like the switch to

363
00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:59,200
BRO and it will do this shit
like well, you know, not just

364
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:03,359
the lip but the and an SSD
altogether. Here. Yeah, it feels

365
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,400
like, um, you're right this
generation they'll introduce some fast storage option at

366
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,720
some point. But it does sound
like they are picking and choosing their battles

367
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:18,079
with where they're going to spend the
budget of manufacturing this console. Um so

368
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,920
pulling back from the old ED to
save some money using flash storage instead of

369
00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:26,799
SSD, but making that bigger,
um and get it. You know,

370
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:29,960
they're not you know, they have
to make something that is going to they

371
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,480
can't make anything. It's gonna cost
probably more than four hundred dollars. They

372
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:34,039
can't get away with that, probably, I mean can get away with it.

373
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:41,160
You think four fifty maybe maybe it's
probably four hundred. You're probably probably

374
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,359
four hundred. It's probably gonna be
four hundred because it's you know what they

375
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,400
got to o edit three fifty.
So four hundred. It's going to be

376
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,400
four hundred, at least four hundred, but probably four hundred. I mean,

377
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,160
they don't want a three DS repeat
right where you have the successor to

378
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,759
your really popular console, but it's
a lot more expensive than that one ever

379
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,839
was. That can really throw people
off exactly. So it's like, you

380
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,160
know, you got to balance all
these things out. But if the bulk

381
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:14,039
of that four hundred dollars goes towards
the really good performance for what it is,

382
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,799
most people are going to be Okay, this is fine. That actually

383
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,480
is the most important thing. We
want. Nintendo games that rob run it's

384
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,599
sixty frames per second, and then
the most three the third party games kind

385
00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:27,319
of getting pretty close to that.
Like that's where I think people want the

386
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:33,160
switch to be going forward. Um, all right, there's an Oblivion remake

387
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,920
rumor out there. They're going to
remake Oblivion. I you know, in

388
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,240
terms of remakes, I think this
one makes a lot of sense. It

389
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,680
is in that butter zone of it's
not so old you have to redo everything.

390
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:48,920
And that's one of the things about
this rumor is they wouldn't redo the

391
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,319
physics or anything necessarily. Maybe they'll
spruce it up, but they're going to

392
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,839
use the original creation engine too.
I can't remember what the what the Bethest

393
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,319
engine is called, but the physics
and the gameplay interactions would come from that,

394
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,400
and then they would redo the visuals
in Unreal Engine and sort of pair

395
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,200
those things up together. And you
could do that with something that isn't quite

396
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,440
as old as some other stuff.
Oblivion is kind of right there on the

397
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,480
cusp where you can get away with
that, and I personally would really like

398
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,440
that. I love Oblivion, Mike, So I hope this is true,

399
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,400
and I hope that we're playing this
in the next couple of years. Oblivian

400
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,119
is a great game, and it
really does just need a bit of polish,

401
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,359
especially you know, graphically, character
models, stuff like that. But

402
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:32,799
otherwise there's a lot to really like
in Oblivion. I think it's story is

403
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,440
better than Skyrim. I think it's
questionnairetives were generally better than in Skyramion,

404
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,599
even though I do like Skyrim a
lot. Yeah, they is. I

405
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,480
do hope they go back tomorrow when
at some point, just because that's when

406
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,559
I actually haven't played much of so
I'd like an excuse to sort of be

407
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,599
able to play that on modern stuff
and have it looking a little spiffier and

408
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:56,720
all that stuff. Yeah, same, And I think that probably won't happen

409
00:25:56,839 --> 00:25:59,640
right away, but maybe they get
to that eventually. I think the much

410
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,039
more likely path is they do Oblivion
and then fall Out three and then fall

411
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:08,319
Out four and in Vegas and then
Skyrim probably actually does get a full remake.

412
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,640
Question. Yeah, but probably the
time you're right, yeah, right,

413
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,759
at some point that's going to be
like a twenty year old game,

414
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,839
The Lincoln. That's going to happen. Yep, exactly, so, but

415
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,079
you know, at some point in
there, it's like, Okay, let's

416
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:23,319
figure out how to do this with
Morrow and as well. And I hope

417
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,640
they do because that one deserves it
as well. It's just it would we

418
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,799
see that it's a lot of extra
work on top of all this other stuff.

419
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:36,039
Um finally, Quake two remasters rumored
to come out August eleventh. I

420
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,880
think Bill Bill Kuhne, that leaker
on Twitter is responsible for this one.

421
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,759
That would be fantastic. They did
it at Quake one remaster. Machine Games

422
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:48,319
worked on that. Machine Games is
rumored to be working on a first person

423
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,279
shooter that it's got to be probably
Quake two remaster, if not a whole

424
00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:56,279
new Quake, which maybe that could
get announced too, but at the very

425
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,680
least I expect Quake to remaster to
get an anounced and shadow dropped, probably

426
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:04,119
with the Quake Con, which I'm
gonna double check. I probably that must

427
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,680
be happening if that's coming out August, right, And I mean night I've

428
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,559
also worked on I think night Thine
was like the main developer on the Quake

429
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:15,559
one game sort of contributed a new
campaign exactly right, Yes, that's what

430
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,160
it was. Um boy, I
hope. So is this is during Quake

431
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,920
Con by the way, Okay,
yeah, so it makes sense it's for

432
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,640
a shadow drop. I mean,
you did Quake one, why not do

433
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:30,039
Quake two. Quake two is such
a that was such an interesting game because

434
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,079
that was the game back then.
That was what we were all testing,

435
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,200
the graphic cards of the day on
the Voodoo two and stuff like that.

436
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,480
You want that transparent water, Yeah, yeah, exactly, because I mean

437
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,240
it was, you know, an
all polygon game, and it was one

438
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,920
of the first ones of like quick
you know, the actual free mouse look

439
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,880
everywhere and all that stuff. It's
interesting too because it's very different from Quake

440
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,880
one in a lot of ways,
like Quake one has that kind of a

441
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,599
cult stuff going on, quite too
pure sci fi from what I remember,

442
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:03,079
kind of what Quake would go into
in the future of stuff like Quake three,

443
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,839
Rin, I would love an excuse
to play Quake two again. See

444
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:08,559
it's bruced up. I'd be very
excited for that. I hope this is

445
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:14,279
true. Uh okay, I think
I does it for the news. I

446
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,359
wanted to discuss. But Mike,
we got a bunch of super chats,

447
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,880
so people wanted to bring their own
stuff to the show. So let's let's

448
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,039
hop into those real quick, and
then we'll take a break and get to

449
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:26,160
our topic of the week. Yeah, I'm a I'm a I'm a recal.

450
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:30,119
I'm gonna recall that's on right.
Let's see America, Ali Maricle,

451
00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:34,519
All miracle sounds way better. Back
from fan Fest if Facy fourteen, Margarita,

452
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:38,240
though, baby, h hope you
had fun. I'm jealous. Yeah,

453
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,039
I'm sure, I'm excited. It's
something for me to look forward to

454
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,000
next year already. You we're gonna
try to go to the fan Fest.

455
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,400
Vegas is always fun. I would
love to go. I mean, they

456
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:51,200
do it in different places. I
might not even be in this country next

457
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,160
time, you know you kind of
do want to go when they're going to

458
00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:56,000
announce the expansion. I guess sure. Probably the next time that there's a

459
00:28:56,079 --> 00:29:00,079
big one in the US, I
will be able to go. That's my

460
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,759
hope. That's my hope. Very
cool. Stefan Ries says, pick Ma

461
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,279
Naughty and grubbers Gate. Oh I
like that, like the ant that's pretty

462
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:14,160
good. GameCube one eighty says what's
the best game? What's the best game

463
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,279
to play while getting over a breakup? Uh, Tony Hawks pro Skater two

464
00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:22,240
because that's soundtrack. It's just gonna
make you feel better. Yeah, something

465
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:25,920
very mechanical focus in the you know
not. Yeah, don't play a game

466
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:32,680
with romance like that. Definite.
Dan Park says, Oh no, I

467
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,119
wonder what it could have been a
lot of things we did. Oh yeah,

468
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,160
just the show in general. Oh
no. Bailey from this says,

469
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,279
Mike, could you prefer the wind
Waker GameCube or HD? Guy, It's

470
00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:45,079
like you's been a while since I
played the GameCube version. I think HD

471
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,559
just because the faster sale is pretty
nice, Like I do like him.

472
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,839
I liked the ceiling I never had
a problem with it, but going a

473
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,720
little bit faster, it's good.
That's cool. Yeah, maybe somethday I'll

474
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:03,519
boot up the GameCube version again,
even FUNcube now shut up, Baba as

475
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,079
Me says, impressed by Mike's ability
to carry a whole show tune all by

476
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,160
himself, irrespective of the interests of
anyone else to join in. Thanks for

477
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,359
he only cares about entertaining himself,
like that is, that's what matters.

478
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,920
And yeah, so no no issue
there. Ever, Washington set their first

479
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,680
Trooper super Chat. No message here, but thank you so much, Washington.

480
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,000
ANTONIONI says, if you had to
put money on it, what is

481
00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:33,759
your bet on what Nintendo names the
follow up to the switch money on it?

482
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:38,279
Um? So I think it probably
does use the switch I IP that

483
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,720
switch name because like, let's just
look at Nintendo's history. Uh, Nintendo

484
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:49,119
Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Uh but uh it wasn't ending a

485
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:56,359
hit Gameboy Game Boy Color DS three
Dsum we you they have a giant hit.

486
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:03,359
They carried over at least one more
generation exactly, so switch to they

487
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,200
probably wouldn't do a number. But
like, if I had to like put

488
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:08,880
money on it, like Super Nintendo, Switch is probably not going to be

489
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,640
it, although I would love that. I think it's just gonna be Switched

490
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,440
Too. I know they normally wouldn't
do a number, but I think they're

491
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,440
so afraid of getting too creative with
WEU that they want to be as clear

492
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:26,319
as possible. That's why this is
exactly my reason for if I had to

493
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:30,000
take my own money and bet it
on it, like that is the most

494
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:33,000
logical thing I can think of,
even thoughing Nintendo is it the most logical

495
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:36,920
company, I couldn't help. That's
what I would have to bet on.

496
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,079
So Switch Too is my bet,
and that's not I'm not confident about that,

497
00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:42,920
but that's my bet. Oh Grog
says. Did Mike ever play that

498
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,319
Disney Illusion Island game that just came
out or is he dis He not playing

499
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:49,640
Found Fantasy sixteen? Not yet,
because I want to play it with my

500
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,920
brothers. I want to do like
the local co op thing, so I'm

501
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,640
waiting until we have a chance to
all really sit down. But a bunch

502
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,720
of it. He did play it
at the Magic Kingdom, that's right.

503
00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:01,480
Yeah, well at disney Land Park, which is called a Magic Kingdom.

504
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,119
But not like proper now and like
the Florida Magic Kata, no one cares.

505
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:12,160
Oh Jesus, christ Cody Clement said, welcome to the besties. I

506
00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:15,759
know what the best game is right
now? All right, steps kind of

507
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:17,759
the best game of the week.
Hi, I'm Mike Manadi, and I

508
00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:21,160
know the best game. Tam got
to be on the best He's once I

509
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,839
was jealous, but he probably actually
knows those people. Chris knows us.

510
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,920
We can't invite you like a Kid
and Christa and I'll just sit over there.

511
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:31,799
Hey, I mentioned you on there? So did I tickled my fancy

512
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,680
very much? Steph Tendo says,
oh yeah, I did want to.

513
00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:38,240
I did want to tease you a
little bit for being on Kid and Christa,

514
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:43,960
not once plugging your Nintendo podcast.
But sure, I'm pretty stupid about

515
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,720
that. Felt good. Step Tendo
says. Top six games that could be

516
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:54,119
nominated for Game of the Year twenty
twenty three, Okay, right now,

517
00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:00,759
the six games that I think will
be the biggest contenders are Zetta, Street

518
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:08,640
Fighter, Resident Evil Orders Gate.
Already I think I'm gonna say that,

519
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:15,319
Um God, shut me out.
I'm Diablo, like Diablo Final Fantasy I'm

520
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,640
kind of like, I'm how do
you about a Dead Space remake? Probably

521
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,839
not too busy, too crowded.
Okay, So for games that haven't come

522
00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:23,880
out yet, Allen Wick two,
well, for games that how many come

523
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,160
out? The only one that I
feel and I'm feeling like real probably is

524
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,279
Starfield. I hope Allen Wake two. I'm really excited for it, hope

525
00:33:30,319 --> 00:33:36,160
it delivers. But yeah, Starfield
seems pretty lucky. I want, oh

526
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,119
pick maybe pick it four, maybe
pick yeah, picking four for me for

527
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,079
sure. But it's always gonna be
tough. Oh god, I am kind

528
00:33:42,119 --> 00:33:45,480
of I am kind of forgetting about
High Fight, Rush about rush it Probably

529
00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:47,279
it probably makes that six cut for
the games that have come out so far,

530
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,200
maybe yeah. If it's the games
that come out so far, I

531
00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:52,440
think it makes the six cut.
Uh yeah, absolutely, O god,

532
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,880
we still have Armed Acre Spider Man
too. I think I think Spider Man

533
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:00,240
two. I wonder if it's gonna
get for as much stuff. I mean,

534
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:04,839
I don't get nominated for the Game
Awards game Oh yeah, yeah,

535
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:08,280
it'll get nominated for that. But
Insomniak is as the bridesmaid, never the

536
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,559
bride. They even even among PlayStation
fan I was listening to kind of funny

537
00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:15,920
talk about this a bunch of big
PlayStation fans over there, and they're just

538
00:34:16,039 --> 00:34:17,840
like, no, it's goods,
you know, it doesn't have what it

539
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,360
takes to be game of the year. The insomniak like Spider Man games.

540
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,639
I'm like, what the like,
I know what they're saying, because the

541
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,119
Spider Man didn't win Game of the
Year. It was a great game,

542
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:29,519
and it was like, no,
no, God of War it's a game

543
00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:30,920
of the year. Spider Man's just
and I think that was the same year,

544
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:35,000
right, So um, it's it's
weird, but I kind of get

545
00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:36,800
it. But for me, I
like Spider Man way more than any of

546
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,119
those other Right, that's the thing, Like, you know, like I

547
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,559
liked God of War Ragnarok, but
I feel like, you know, and

548
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,119
I guess it's about kind of flight
specifically, but them and are people like

549
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:47,199
were Google Gaga for that? But
yes, like, well, Spider Man

550
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,360
is not quite there really or like
even more crazy to be Ratchett and Clink.

551
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,119
Rift Apart isn't there. I actually
don't know exactly how they felt about

552
00:34:55,199 --> 00:35:00,440
Rift Apartment, but part generally that's
how people feel and that this crazy to

553
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:04,639
me. Ripped apart to me is
so obviously like the best exclusive we had

554
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,760
to place it, except for maybe
Astro. Maybe I just like three D

555
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,559
platforms. Actually, maybe that's just
what it is. Ye uh okay.

556
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:19,639
Next one here is from Big Fresh
Story seven says I demand public Crow eating

557
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,639
the Swiss of Metal show turned out
amazing. I've heard people are surprised by

558
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,000
how good it is. I haven't. I don't know if I've heard amazing,

559
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:29,880
but I haven't. You know me, I don't exactly have my ear

560
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,239
to the ground on team. I
think it's amazing that it's this good,

561
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,400
that's for sure. He's absolutely right, They're They're absolutely right. I should

562
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,480
eat Crow. And this is why
I just shouldn't talk about ship before.

563
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:45,079
It sound like, here's the reality. I talked so much shit about it.

564
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:49,639
I feel obligated to watch it now
and I don't care. I don't

565
00:35:49,679 --> 00:35:52,119
watch for I never cared if it
was good or bad. I should have

566
00:35:52,159 --> 00:35:57,400
just shutted the fuck up, but
I opened my mouth on a goddamn podcast

567
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,239
like this will be a fun thing
to make fun, just a worry that's

568
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,480
good, And then here I am, and it's like everyone like brit it's

569
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,079
a colleague peacemaker. It's pretty good, am I a fuck me and everyone's

570
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:13,480
defense? They picked the terrible clip
to show at Summer Game Fest, Like

571
00:36:13,559 --> 00:36:15,599
that clip was terrible. Yeah,
one chance say it previewed like a two

572
00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:17,679
out of seven. It came out
it's like a seven out of ten.

573
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,519
That sounds about right to me.
Here you go, I'm good for them,

574
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:22,960
good for them. I hope this
means good things for that franchise.

575
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,320
Willow David says, Mike, Sorry, the GameCube reddit was boomerie. I

576
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,000
just bought a game cube since my
brother sold us back when we got a

577
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:34,719
Wii. And it has the digital
output. Oh, very very very nice.

578
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,119
That's what you want, Yeah,
is mod console or um. So

579
00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:44,440
I think what he means is the
at some point they stopped doing the including

580
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,039
the one output. Thane, I
can't component cable or whatever it is,

581
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:52,119
the component output like the newer models
of it didn't have that. So you

582
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:54,920
don't want those GameCubes, okay as
much, but yeah, man, that

583
00:36:55,199 --> 00:37:00,519
that can't keep sub reddit. It's
just it is. It's to say somebody

584
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:05,639
who could played about being called boober. It is so boober. It's a

585
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,679
lot of people basically asking other people
to google things. I guess it's worth

586
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:15,559
anything, you know, stuff like
that. Oh that's good stuff. Ecto

587
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:22,280
Cool says, what is the best
Disney game ever? Mike, Okay,

588
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:31,239
so like not counting Kingdom Hearts.
Uh, probably any duck Tailstvolution is very

589
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,719
good as those question cast solution.
It's probably a better game than the Quackshot,

590
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,480
but my heart is more with Quackshots. A lot of Duc Duc tells

591
00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:43,880
is so much fun. Gosh,
I love that duck Tails game. Incredible

592
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,480
soundtrack to um Atric quests. Good
Chip Rescue Rangers also good. You know

593
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:50,760
chests, got a lot of them. But get that. If you can

594
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,880
get that. It still bums me
out that they never took that Disney After

595
00:37:53,960 --> 00:38:00,360
New collection to switch. It's on
everything else. But ye, and that's

596
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,760
always fun. But uh yeah,
yeah it should be a collection. That's

597
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:07,639
weird. John Drakes Roman, Yeah
maybe maybe they just don't know. May

598
00:38:07,639 --> 00:38:09,079
if I bug John Drake about Yeah, that's what you need to do it,

599
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,960
you're just doing a service there.
Yeah, that's just me being kind.

600
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,679
Actually. Portable Lesion is also a
favorite of mine. JKK yep Um

601
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:21,039
and every Now that's it. That's
it for now. Guys, if you

602
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:22,280
want to send more super chats,
but by the way, thank you so

603
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,679
much for all the super chats so
far. If you want to send more,

604
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,719
we will read them before the end
of the show, we promise.

605
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:30,960
Yep. And if you have anything
you want to discuss, that's the best

606
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,960
way to get it discussed on the
show. Okay, we're gonna take a

607
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,400
quick break. When we come back, we're gonna discuss the best games of

608
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:38,239
nineteen ninety seven. Me and Mike
are gonna put together a list with your

609
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,800
help. If you're a podcast producer
again, if you want to drop a

610
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,719
super chat, you can have your
say as well. Okay, we'll be

611
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:52,599
right back after this, and we're
back. We are gonna do the top

612
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,639
games of nineteen ninety seven. We've
done nineteen nineteen ninety six so far,

613
00:38:57,159 --> 00:39:01,119
um picking Corona, Trigger Yoshi's Island
in Donkey Kong Country two for ninety five

614
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,760
and then ninety six. Obviously Super
Mario sixty four and Wave Ray sixty four.

615
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,159
There were some other games. We're
gonna do this again for nineteen ninety

616
00:39:10,199 --> 00:39:15,079
seven. MICUs is a pretty good
year for games. Yeah, it's pretty

617
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:17,320
good year. I think we all
know ninety eight is the real way year.

618
00:39:17,679 --> 00:39:20,760
We don't know about nineteen ninety eight, and that's gonna be wacky,

619
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,719
but there's some fun stuff happening here. We are a bit further into this

620
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:30,039
new generation at the time with PlayStation
Nintendo sixty four, so we got some

621
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:34,239
stuff popping off, especially in PlayStation. I think PlayStation is really coming into

622
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,840
its own now. Yes, there
were some good, good games on PlayStation

623
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,519
in sixty four. We're still having
a handful of droughts throughout ninety seven.

624
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:46,639
I remember there's some big games,
there's some there are, but it's definitely

625
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,559
PlayStation coming into its own. Some
great stuff happened on PC as well.

626
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,559
Where do you want to start for
nineteen ninety seven, Mike, Yeah,

627
00:39:52,639 --> 00:39:58,599
I think kind of the big one
for me is going to be Final Fantasy

628
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:04,400
seven. Yeah, kind of.
Yeah. This is the one that that

629
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,519
felt like a big deal at the
time. Honestly still the most mainstream turn

630
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:15,000
based RPGs ever felt on my lifetime. Everybody was playing Found Fancy seven,

631
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:19,840
it felt like because you know,
it was at a point where I think

632
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,119
you were able to make something like
a turn based RPG suddenly had be like

633
00:40:23,199 --> 00:40:29,519
the best looking game ever. I
think Squaring extumbled upon some tricks with using

634
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:32,920
full motion video and like putting police
on the top of that to do things

635
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,920
that really weren't possible and a lot
of our games or even in a lot

636
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,920
of other genres. Right, So
there's just some really stunning stuff at the

637
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,760
time. And on top of that, you had a lot of really memorable

638
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,440
characters, a really neat setting.
They went way more sci fi cyer punk,

639
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,320
especially in the beginning Midguards are really
striking location just in general, a

640
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:58,360
lot of memorable characters, another incredible
soundtrack too. There's just a mistake about

641
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,159
this game. It's like it was
like huge zekegeist. Everybody was playing it.

642
00:41:02,119 --> 00:41:06,920
Yeah, it's uh right, a
mystique and and just uh, the

643
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:10,400
cultural zekegeist, the way it captured
everything. Um I just in that marketing

644
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:19,039
campaign felt so inescapable and important and
it was yeah, and you're right,

645
00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:22,559
it was like the time where I
was like, oh, turn based RPGs

646
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:25,920
from Japan are just a big,
huge, important thing of gaming and always

647
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,239
will be is how I felt.
And uh, and then it turned out

648
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,760
that wasn't true, but it definitely
felt like it could have happened, you

649
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,679
know, had we been on like
some slightly alternate history or something like that.

650
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,320
Uh, Final Fantasy seven the peak
of that and and yeah, it's

651
00:41:39,559 --> 00:41:43,079
I mean before this, they were
like, you know, Squarres did things

652
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:45,639
like or Square did things like We're
just not gonna released on Fantasy five in

653
00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:50,280
the US. Who cares? Right
after Fancy seven. That was never gonna

654
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,559
happen again, that's right. Yes, Uh, it's like it was so

655
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:59,400
like just it penetrated cultures so much
that's like, oh, you know what,

656
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:01,400
we were just gonna call it seven
and because you know that's what it's

657
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,079
called in Japan, and we're gonna
unify the numbering scheme because used to six

658
00:42:06,199 --> 00:42:07,079
used to be three in America.
And it's like, well, no,

659
00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:10,239
this is we don't care anymore.
You need to know that this is a

660
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,519
long running franchise and this is a
big deal, and we're going to teach

661
00:42:14,559 --> 00:42:16,119
you the right numbers because you just
need to learn it, because that's how

662
00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:20,079
big a deal, big of a
deal this is. So yeah, Final

663
00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:23,679
Fantasy seven on the list almost certainly. Yeah. I do want to say

664
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,760
that Tactics came out in Japan nenty
seven, but not in the US to

665
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,880
ninety eight. We are doing US
release dates, so gonna be tough for

666
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:36,679
tactics. Sorry, yeah, I
want to add and I can't. I

667
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,559
think this is ninety seven in America
Castlevania Symphony of the Night that is almost

668
00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:46,760
certainly ninety seven the US. Yes
it is in whoo boy. Yeah that's

669
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:52,119
a very good game. Yes it
is. It's um it's one of those

670
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:54,360
it's like in the like that.
First for a little bit, it was

671
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,480
like maybe a little undersung because some
people are like two D. But it's

672
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,400
like that lasted for a month and
then people were like, oh, actually

673
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,119
nope, this rules, this rules. We should ever I'll be talking about

674
00:43:05,159 --> 00:43:08,119
this. This is great and Castlevania
simply a night Quickly you kind of took

675
00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:13,679
on like another awesome thing happening on
PlayStation. Uh yeah I love this game.

676
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,280
Yeah, just really great looking two
D art and again, fantastic music.

677
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:22,840
Again doing like a like sparing but
smart use of polygons at time,

678
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,480
like the save room and things like
that, so you know, it looks

679
00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:29,119
really cool. The kind of fun
twist where you know, unlocking the good

680
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,559
ending isn't just a longer cut scene. It's like a whole like second half

681
00:43:32,599 --> 00:43:37,280
of the game that you get with
the upside down castle Outlookard is a cool

682
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,760
character. Just yeah, adding you
know, kind of looking at Castlevania too

683
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,840
again for inspiration, which like as
a game that had problems and really smoothing

684
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:51,000
out those edges and turning that into
an experience that just worked so well that

685
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,599
you know, you know, we
had metroids before, we had other games

686
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,920
like that. This is really where
metroid Vania comes from. This is the

687
00:43:57,039 --> 00:44:01,400
Vanya part of Metroidvania. Yep.
Then it's like, uh, I mean,

688
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,400
I like Castalvania sympth of the Night
right away. But it's like as

689
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,360
soon as you start like getting those
RPG elements and you see your character growing,

690
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,880
you're right, that is sounds good, yep, And it's like that

691
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,679
defines gaming from that point forward,
those RPG molements in every game. It's

692
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,920
like, oh, I if it
can work in Castlevania, it can work

693
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,760
in anything. And that was right, And honestly most games don't even don't

694
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,599
even do it as well as Symphony
of the Night did. Like it's still

695
00:44:24,639 --> 00:44:28,679
a stellar example of what those what
those mechanics can be like in a game

696
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:37,400
like that, all right, I
think next up I am going to I

697
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:42,199
think those are really good locks.
Yeah, I want to bring this up,

698
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,760
and maybe let's talking about me.
Why I don't want on it because

699
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,320
it's a very big game. Yeah, that's fine out this year. Yeah,

700
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,280
Goling and I double seven came out
in nineteen ninety seven, which again,

701
00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:54,079
and I know I just said a
crap about how FOP with SY seven

702
00:44:54,199 --> 00:45:00,440
was this big zeitgeist absolutely true for
gold and I also it was a huge,

703
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:05,320
huge deal. Yeah, and it's
I mean, for me that year,

704
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,719
Golden I would have been my game
of the year without even without question,

705
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,159
But it just hasn't aged well enough
for me to feel good about putting

706
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:15,400
on a top ten or top five. Now all these years later, I

707
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,920
don't really enjoy playing Golden Eye Double
O seven anymore. And I think that

708
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,320
I should still enjoy playing the game, playing a game if we're going to

709
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,880
put it on this list. I
think that's kind of a good rule to

710
00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:29,079
abide by. It's definitely an important, an important game, and it was.

711
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,159
Yeah, it was huge. It
was so popular and it sold so

712
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,719
well, and it just like it
was the thing that really drove the n

713
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,920
sixty four at least in the America's
through nineteen ninety seven for sure. So

714
00:45:40,639 --> 00:45:45,480
yeah, an important game. I
will add it up here. But let

715
00:45:45,519 --> 00:45:49,440
me let me give you the kind
of in the town sixty four game from

716
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,599
this year that I actually do care
about more, and that's star Fox sixty

717
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:55,719
four. Sure, this was actually
one of my favorite games for that console.

718
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,960
I think it was basically just the
remake of the original Star Fox,

719
00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:04,880
but that's a game that really benefited
from the jump in hardware. They added

720
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,400
a lot of personality with the voice
the characters. You know, usually the

721
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,639
talking head things is annoying, but
it works really well in this game.

722
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:15,599
The different paths you could take the
rumble. Remember this is the rumble pad

723
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:19,159
game, and now we still have
our controls are still shaking like crazy to

724
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,840
this day, and that kind of
started here. I have a lot,

725
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,679
I have a lot of funness for
star Fox sixty four. Actually, yeah,

726
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:29,719
I mean I think this is the
Star Fox game. So it's actually

727
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,400
even though its yep, and I
feel good about that, uh making the

728
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,000
cut, I have it up there, let's let's keep there. Yeah,

729
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,000
I um, it's one that it's
like easy to go back to and play

730
00:46:38,039 --> 00:46:42,000
and keep enjoying. And it was
really really cool at the time for sure.

731
00:46:42,119 --> 00:46:45,480
And it uh, I think they'd
showed like, okay, like they

732
00:46:45,519 --> 00:46:49,599
were they weren't faking the Polygons on
the Superintendent with the super X two chip,

733
00:46:49,639 --> 00:46:52,000
but it's like they were barely scraping
by with that frame, right.

734
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:55,639
It's it was nice to get something
a little bit better in every single way

735
00:46:57,039 --> 00:47:00,679
on the n sixty four and Star
Fox sixty four. Is it's a classic,

736
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,920
it really is. Um, I
uh, it's it's it's tough because

737
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,840
I mean, I'm trying to like, there's obviously some other ones. I

738
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,559
think I'll get to this one next
probably, but um trying to think,

739
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,159
are there any other in sixty four
games worth considering? I think Mario Kart

740
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,440
sixty's that there's one I was thinking
about. But it is Mario Kart sixty

741
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,920
four this year, I mean,
I can't remember. I'm like, I'm

742
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,679
trying to see Mario Kart sixty four
was nineteen ninety seven in the US.

743
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,400
Look at that it was ninety six
in Japan, So yeah, Mario Kart

744
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:32,039
sixty four would count. Um God
again, gosh, I really am becoming

745
00:47:32,079 --> 00:47:36,880
the Town sixty four hater. I
swear I'm not. Actually I don't.

746
00:47:37,199 --> 00:47:38,719
I don't. I don't harbor a
lot of love for Mario Kart sixty four

747
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:43,920
anymore. Um, it was,
it was fun at the time. I

748
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:49,519
think it quickly got equipped a quip
who eclipsed, get equipped, got equipped,

749
00:47:49,679 --> 00:47:53,360
get equipped. It quickly got eclipsed
by Double Dash, and then by

750
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:59,639
seven and yeah game and eight.
Yeah, all of them are better,

751
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,119
I think for the most part.
So yeah, I'll write it up there,

752
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,480
but I think it's gonna have a
hard time making the cut. I

753
00:48:06,559 --> 00:48:08,199
do think Blastcore came out the year, and I like, that's what I

754
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,239
was gonna say, Like, that's
like the other one I have a sauce

755
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,800
about for. I don't know if
it's really quite substantial enough to make it

756
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,920
on here, but that's yeah,
definitely maybe one of the most interesting games

757
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,320
of that year. Uh, one
of the ones that felt the most original.

758
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:28,639
I'm definitely writing it up there for
consideration, but it will Yes,

759
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,400
we'll see, we'll see. Maybe
maybe maybe it's SUPs into five. Maybe

760
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,679
we'll see. All right, there
is a really big Mikey game that came

761
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,519
out this year that I am going
to probably insist upon sure, and that

762
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:45,639
is the curse of Monkey Island.
Yes, I just thought this might happen.

763
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,239
There is such a short period of
time that existed where we got games

764
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,320
like this, these point of click
adventure games with just the hand drawn art

765
00:48:53,559 --> 00:48:57,719
right like and like looking like a
cartoon. It's so pops up every now

766
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,719
and then. But basically there's a
short period time where we could do this

767
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:04,000
because the CDs and then everybody was
like, no, we're doing three D

768
00:49:04,119 --> 00:49:09,960
instead, And this brief little window
we got this absolute treasure of fun and

769
00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:16,159
adventure and really neat puzzles and beautiful
locations and the credible voice acting in music.

770
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:20,760
This was God. This was a
pretty early Aventure game. My first

771
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,880
one was Day of the Tentacle,
and then right after that I played Chris

772
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,840
and Muckey Island, and after that
I just kind of went hand with the

773
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:30,679
whole genre, especially all of the
Lucas Arts stuff. Love Chris and Mucky

774
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,840
Out and I replayed it again just
last year in the Build It to Return.

775
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,280
Still my favorite in the series.
Love this game. Uh yes.

776
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,840
I as soon as I saw that
came out in ninety seven, I was

777
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,079
like, well, that'll that'll be
up there for sure. Um, I

778
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:49,159
think we probably should put Quake two
on this list. Quake two came out

779
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,840
nineteen ninety seven. Quake two is
a very good game. I think it

780
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,519
improves on Quake one and just about
every way. Although you know, Quick

781
00:49:55,559 --> 00:49:59,119
one may be more important, I
guess, but Quake two is still very

782
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,280
very sport centering because it is also
it is still very important. It is

783
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,760
it's god things. We're moving so
fast at this point because just the next

784
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,440
year you're going to get Half Life, which is a pretty big leap.

785
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,280
Not not necessarily in terms of the
tech, although a bit, but just

786
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,599
in the presentation these games, it's
quite two is still very much from what

787
00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:19,320
I remember, it's been a little
bit in that doom style of wandering around,

788
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,840
finding keys, opening doors and that
kind of thing, but it was

789
00:50:23,079 --> 00:50:27,320
it was certainly a big deal at
the time. Might make the list or

790
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:34,119
some other ones. Maybe just also
be considering here an important game. I

791
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:35,880
don't know if either of us have
a whole lot of love for it.

792
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,119
How we think it like ages now, but Ultima Online was in nineteen ninety

793
00:50:39,199 --> 00:50:44,920
seven. Yeah, it's important.
I just don't know if I can argue

794
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,280
for it to be on the list. I never played it and never had

795
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,280
much interest in it. Yeah,
at the time, it was neat.

796
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,960
There's a it's it is a lot, right, and I think you know

797
00:50:54,039 --> 00:50:59,599
they're starting with ultimon line. We
slowly and slowly kind of found a balance

798
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:02,119
of making this stuff more accessible until
we got toward a whircraft which should a

799
00:51:02,159 --> 00:51:07,000
trick. Ever quest a big step
in that direction as well, for sure.

800
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,880
You know, there's two Mega Man
games that came out this year.

801
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,920
Mega Man eight, which I liked
a lot of time and still like,

802
00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:17,039
but not one of the better Mega
Mans, but then Mega Man X four

803
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:22,480
Mega Man X four, which absolutely
is one of the better Megan Man games,

804
00:51:22,599 --> 00:51:25,639
probably got definitely the best. The
only other game in the X series

805
00:51:25,679 --> 00:51:30,079
that I really love, aside from
the original is X four is the first

806
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:35,079
one where you have the two separate
campaigns for Mega Man X and for zero.

807
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,679
It has once again kind of has
the so bad it's good voice acting,

808
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:42,679
really cool uh enemies. Yeah.
X four is kind of where the

809
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,960
series peaked, and then they made
like four more anyways, and none of

810
00:51:45,039 --> 00:51:51,679
them were ever remotely as good as
this. Again, I like Rock the

811
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,280
Dinosaur Hunter. I'm not gonna put
it up considered probably not good enough.

812
00:51:54,559 --> 00:51:59,519
It's fun, but it's not good
enough. The game that I probably would

813
00:51:59,559 --> 00:52:05,199
put up is Grand Turismo one.
Uh. I like that game, but

814
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,320
it's another one where it's like,
I just, um, I don't hold

815
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:12,360
a torch for it these days.
No, probably not. I think even

816
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,880
Grand Turisma two is you know that's
what happened at some point. That's even

817
00:52:15,079 --> 00:52:19,000
that's even better. Definitely. Yes, Yeah, they're important game. There's

818
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,400
a lot of important games in this
year, that's for sure, but we

819
00:52:21,519 --> 00:52:24,280
gotta have the luxury picking the ones
we lot oh want a bit more.

820
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:30,039
You pretty much spat in my face
when I suggested crash Bandicoot won the last

821
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:34,239
time I have any better like Crash
Bandicoot two. Cortex strikes back this time.

822
00:52:35,079 --> 00:52:37,400
I mean I've played one in three
a bunch because I was like trying

823
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,239
to like figure out it's pretty similar
to this. Yeah, listen, I

824
00:52:42,599 --> 00:52:45,119
do. I really do not think
they're very good games. I think Crash

825
00:52:45,159 --> 00:52:47,880
Bandicoot is a cool character. Uh, and they're fine for what they are.

826
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:52,639
It's just what they are is not
in any way impressive. I just

827
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,000
play them and I have no fun. I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean,

828
00:52:55,039 --> 00:52:58,800
look, what can I do?
What can you do? If you?

829
00:52:59,639 --> 00:53:01,320
I mean, I don't think it's
gonna make this list. They're strongly

830
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,599
about other games. I feel like
it could get up. Yes, totally.

831
00:53:05,639 --> 00:53:07,320
It's not said that about Mucky Island
that I would be mad and like,

832
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,320
you know, throw a fit.
But you know, I like,

833
00:53:09,679 --> 00:53:13,519
I like Crash too a lot.
I think you're wrong, Am I fair

834
00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:17,280
enough? Whatever? I literally after
the last sixth episode or whenever we talked

835
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,360
with that, I went and played
Crash since then, and I'm just like,

836
00:53:22,039 --> 00:53:24,199
yeah, don't still don't get it? Still just eight fill at it.

837
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,559
That's yeah. I'm like, this
is just real boring. Um.

838
00:53:29,039 --> 00:53:30,960
But okay, I mean, if
you want to put it up there,

839
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:35,119
it's fine. It's like some other
games that like, it's interesting, but

840
00:53:35,199 --> 00:53:38,440
they just kind of have way more
important sequels, like Diablo Diablo one is

841
00:53:38,519 --> 00:53:43,039
at this point, you have Jedi
Knights, but you know we did Dark

842
00:53:43,119 --> 00:53:45,519
Forces already. You know, I
like better, and I like Dark Force

843
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:50,119
better, and I like Jedi Outcast
better. Jedi Knights just kind of in

844
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:53,159
the middle there. For me.
Age of Vampires, Age of vatpis one's

845
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:59,400
good. I like two more than
I like one. You're probably a good

846
00:53:59,639 --> 00:54:04,719
bit Worms two. I liked Worms
two, Worms two, guys I like

847
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,000
worms. Uh yeah, I guess
worms worse two. It was Worms two,

848
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,719
the one I played. I don't
know, Worst two, I bet

849
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,480
is the one you played. A
lot of people I think Worms, Worms

850
00:54:12,559 --> 00:54:15,840
two or that love Worms Armageddon.
Yeah, we're definitely playing Worms Armageddon.

851
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,079
But I played something before that as
well. I always like, oh,

852
00:54:19,119 --> 00:54:21,199
I love this idea, and so
when I finally got a chance to play,

853
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,000
I played a ton of it.
I love Worms, but I don't

854
00:54:23,039 --> 00:54:24,800
know. It feels weird to put
it up there. I don't know,

855
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,880
that's a little weird. That's a
little bit weird. You were you ever

856
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,679
an odd World Abes Odyssey guy?
Yeah, I like, I'm fine.

857
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:36,800
I don't have any deep reverence for
those for that franchise, Like when I

858
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,320
play the games, I'm enjoying it. Stretch back then it stood out more

859
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:44,880
because they did look very good,
right, They had the cool cut scenes.

860
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,760
The graphics themselves are good because I
think a lot of pre hundred backgrounds.

861
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,119
It was a big pre rendered backgrounds
fan. Oh we better bring this

862
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,519
up before Shaw knows as we don't
and yells at us, oh, never

863
00:54:54,599 --> 00:54:59,760
mind. Mega Man Legends nineteen ninety
seven in Japane okay, in the U.

864
00:55:00,119 --> 00:55:01,679
We're safe for now. That is
a good game, though. I

865
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,039
think the biggest game that we're not
mentioning and probably won't be able to mention

866
00:55:06,119 --> 00:55:08,000
because I've never played I don't know
if you have, is the Original Fallout.

867
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,239
I played a good bit of the
Original Fallout. Actually I didn't be

868
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,880
it. I did not beat it. I played a good bit of it,

869
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,760
and I did like it, and
I bet at the time it was

870
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:22,119
really impressively. I felt like a
big deal. I get that. I

871
00:55:22,159 --> 00:55:27,920
don't. I don't know if I'm
excited enough about that one. I want

872
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,679
to say so like Tech and three
is a little weird because it came out

873
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:35,440
in the arcades only Japan ninety seven. It never had a US release until

874
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,679
it came to the PlayStation in ninety
eight here, so that's more of a

875
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:44,320
ninety eight game. So yeah,
mad about Tech and three. I mentioned

876
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,400
Diabbo one and said Diabbo two is
really where I care more. Anyways,

877
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,639
you know, again, probably not
gonna make it. I like Barman at

878
00:55:50,679 --> 00:55:52,360
sixty four a lot. That's actually
another one of my probably favorite in TEL

879
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:57,920
sixty four games. That's pretty good
stuff. Um but yeah, just looking

880
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,960
there's like interesting like two rater two. No, not anymore w c W

881
00:56:01,159 --> 00:56:07,159
versus nWo World Tourists. This this
is the first u acky one, right,

882
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,440
it's every one of the earlier acky
ones. I think it's probably the

883
00:56:09,519 --> 00:56:13,800
first one. Yeah yeah, yeah, because you had revenge after this,

884
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:19,119
and then um and then yeah yes
raw No Mercy and then two thousand that's

885
00:56:19,159 --> 00:56:23,039
right, are the four WWW ones
anyways? Yes? Um yeah, I

886
00:56:23,119 --> 00:56:28,559
mean those That game is actually still
very good. It's just they got way

887
00:56:28,679 --> 00:56:32,440
better as they kept to making those
kinds of games. And yeah No Mercy.

888
00:56:32,519 --> 00:56:36,599
I think it is probably considered the
best for reasons because it's got all

889
00:56:36,639 --> 00:56:39,639
that good fun wrestling action with the
most content on top of it. So

890
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,760
we don't I don't think we need
to include WCW. Yeah do you want

891
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,639
to? Should we go to the
community now see if they have some more

892
00:56:46,639 --> 00:56:50,360
suggestions for us. I've been reading
your suggestions and chat everybody. Thank you.

893
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,400
Yeah maybe a second, let me
get that up. I'm meant to

894
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,800
do that as well. But it's
still just take a second here. You're

895
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,679
all good stuff. By the way, if you wanted to link, yeah,

896
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:04,800
I think I will go there a
new punk okays stuff? Is it

897
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,679
in podcast stuff there? I have
it open if you want me to hope,

898
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,400
I got it right now, and
I am fading back in there with

899
00:57:10,119 --> 00:57:14,840
let's see here. We're gonna just
hit the highlights. Granches mcbasketball says Crash

900
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,679
Bandicoot two. I'm probably the only
one who's going to vote for this one,

901
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,440
but it's the one I go back
to most often. I'm with you,

902
00:57:20,559 --> 00:57:24,119
cran Jess, We're not alone.
I'll get Crash Bandicoot to a chance.

903
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:31,119
I bet it's just like one in
three is bench j C Final Fantasy

904
00:57:31,199 --> 00:57:36,119
seven Pickman Wolf says for the Love
of God put Symphony of the Night one

905
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:38,199
of the most important games of all
time to help define an entire genre.

906
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,079
It just it defines all the gaming
at this point. I think Nick Turbo

907
00:57:43,159 --> 00:57:46,280
says Quake two a game so good
it's getting a remaster next week. Allegedly.

908
00:57:46,519 --> 00:57:50,760
Yes, we talked about that.
It's actor Ryance is waxing poetic about

909
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:55,239
Mario Kart sixty four. Here,
I mean I like miss I mean marcosts

910
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,920
is fours fun because until sixty four
had the four players support and that was

911
00:58:00,199 --> 00:58:01,360
great. Yes, it was a
lot of fun. Yeah, I mean

912
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:05,639
that was for me at that time. That was why I was at the

913
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,320
n sixty four kid because I would
have friends over almost every weekend. It

914
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,559
was middle school time and maybe a
little little a little bit of high school

915
00:58:13,559 --> 00:58:15,039
time, and people would be over
all the time. We would just play

916
00:58:15,079 --> 00:58:21,239
in sixty four games NonStop. Um
I yeah, mister Buller says star Fox

917
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,199
sixty four. People are still chasing
that high honorable mention to Diddy Kong Racing,

918
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:30,320
which I saw that that came out
as well. That is so bizarre

919
00:58:30,559 --> 00:58:32,440
for me to think back that Mario
Kart sixty four and Diddy Kong Racing came

920
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,320
out. You think they'd be like, well, let's let's not do both

921
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,960
of these literally this year. Right
in my in my mind, there's a

922
00:58:40,079 --> 00:58:45,639
huge gap between those games. Well
because they seem technically like like Diddy Kong

923
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,920
seems like there's a lot more going
on because the characters are actually all three

924
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,480
D models. Oh yeah, it's
not just much and stuff. Yes,

925
00:58:51,559 --> 00:58:53,239
you could fly and stuff, but
no, that's just the same year,

926
00:58:53,599 --> 00:58:57,800
yep. And it's like it probably
was like maybe Mario Kart came out earlier

927
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,079
in the year, and then Dinny
Kong Racing came on holidays or something,

928
00:59:00,119 --> 00:59:01,719
and so it's like that for me, it was like the end of one

929
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,039
school year in the beginning of another
school year. So it just felt like

930
00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:07,320
this huge gap back then. These
days it's like I don't know, I

931
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,559
blink and that much time goes by. Um, all right, let's see

932
00:59:10,599 --> 00:59:15,159
Breadfish has a list here, Sympathy
a night Fall, Final Fantasy seven,

933
00:59:15,199 --> 00:59:19,800
fall Out, Golden Eye Double O
seven, Age Vampires Done Deal. Villain

934
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,760
Max says Golden Eye art. I
know Mike doesn't agree with, but it's

935
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,199
Golden Eye Double O seven. Um. It's the game that introduced shooters to

936
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,599
many like myself on a console that
has not mid and is superior to the

937
00:59:30,679 --> 00:59:37,039
Dreamcast Sasquatching Sasquatch Crossing says Fallout,
Beef Hammers says Final Fantasy seven or Mario

938
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:42,400
Card sixty four will result in Any
slander against these will result in them rioting.

939
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,719
I think we we'll get a little
bit of a riot a going.

940
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:51,239
I think um n Lenny cool.
Diick Denver mentions tech in three. Yeah,

941
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:52,800
I mean I said it like Camerol
Japan the Arcades. It might have

942
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,960
even been out here in the Arcades
in ninety seven. I don't know.

943
00:59:55,079 --> 01:00:00,320
It's a little weird. Always be
Clothing says I'm gonna going to pander today's

944
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:06,440
co host Mike and sake the Curse
of Monkey Island. Like it? Uh.

945
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,920
Cyberjack says, obviously it's final Fantasy
seven. Tifa Lockhart is still the

946
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:14,400
hottest fictional character and it's not even
close. Thank you, Cyberjack. Hey,

947
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,280
hey, Brian Rios, thank you
for joining the Lincoln Tier. Appreciate

948
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:21,599
yes, shout outs. Um probably
will probably still we'll look for some of

949
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:25,239
the highlights. Now, match's fallout. Yeah, I was just gonna say

950
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:30,000
fall Yeah, Matt Clin fall miss
via a Tetrisphere. How about that?

951
01:00:30,519 --> 01:00:34,239
I played Tetrisphere. I always get
that in What Trick Smith? Yes up,

952
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,599
who doesn't? Right, we're all
having that problem with Jeff exactly.

953
01:00:37,679 --> 01:00:42,360
I saving that problem every day.
Tetrisphere. I do remember being a little

954
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,800
bit a little bit better than What
Tricks? Uh. Yeah, Terry Hockey

955
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,199
Blue says star Fox sixty four.
Curse of Monkeyland gets mentioned. Jad Camp

956
01:00:50,239 --> 01:00:52,639
has a good point down here Sonic
are the game sucks, but can you

957
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:58,639
feel this? Yeah, maybe that
soundtrack gets up there alone. The game

958
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,639
suck. No, people say it
sucks, it doesn't. I mean,

959
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:05,000
you know, I also played it
at the height of my Sega fan blindness,

960
01:01:05,119 --> 01:01:07,880
so maybe I'm not the person to
ask. Buggy Dillo has got some

961
01:01:08,519 --> 01:01:12,800
like for the arcade, don't I'm
Pacchi Vampire Savior, the Lord of the

962
01:01:13,519 --> 01:01:16,360
Is Vampire Sayers here good thinks Sean's
not here? Ye. NFL Blitz Battle

963
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:21,039
Circuit on PC. It's dungeon Keeper
series I never played. I know people

964
01:01:21,079 --> 01:01:22,639
really like bengeon Yeah, and my
brother played a bit dudget Keeper. I

965
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,840
never really got it. It's I
think that jet Keeper is kind of like

966
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,119
uh freaking um Viviva Pinata. Maybe
I'm making that up, but I remember

967
01:01:31,199 --> 01:01:34,800
they're being similar. I thought it
was like a trap game where it's like

968
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,000
you keep put down traps and then
people come towards you and like you like

969
01:01:37,079 --> 01:01:39,280
they fall into your traps or something
like. Yeah, but I think you

970
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:45,400
like do with the trap specific creatures
that might get him so you can make

971
01:01:45,039 --> 01:01:50,880
spawn new creatures completely because like I
think it's like, it's definitely also a

972
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,239
bit of a tower defense. I
don't even know what those first. Maybe

973
01:01:52,239 --> 01:01:54,760
I'm just completely wrong. Maybe I
need to look at what the hell dudget

974
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,199
Keeper was. Like I said,
I've never played it a ribbon backyard baseball

975
01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:04,840
spot what I mean the sequel to
miss That's right, Spy Fox in Dry

976
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,920
Cereal. I don't remember that at
all. That's one of those. Um,

977
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,920
so that's one of those kids A
vet your games, that right?

978
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,119
Okay? After he left, Lucas
starts all right, Oh my god,

979
01:02:15,159 --> 01:02:21,119
this gamer browser has the AI stuff
right. A high kup about Spy Fox

980
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:25,039
in Dry Cereal. Cunning Fox sets
out solving mysteries with style, Dry Cereals

981
01:02:25,159 --> 01:02:30,159
charm cool. Um, jad Camp, you mentioned sonic Are Crash Bandicoot two

982
01:02:30,239 --> 01:02:35,480
from Clink, Kirby's Dreamland three from
DMC depressed me crying, and the criminally

983
01:02:35,519 --> 01:02:39,599
under appreciated Clinoa Door to the Phantom
Mile. Yeah, Clonoa's a cool game.

984
01:02:39,679 --> 01:02:43,119
I don't know if it really play
makes it? Dream and three?

985
01:02:43,239 --> 01:02:46,440
Is it nearly as good as Kirby
Superstar? So? Uh, Screaming Man

986
01:02:46,599 --> 01:02:50,840
says I want to give a Intelligent
Cube a shout out since it's one of

987
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,920
my favorite puzzle games in dat ost
rules, but it doesn't have a prayer

988
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:58,039
here though. What does have a
prayer for game mess Game in the Year

989
01:02:58,039 --> 01:03:02,760
in nineteen ninety seven is Madden NFL
ninety eight. I like those games.

990
01:03:04,159 --> 01:03:07,679
NFL Game Day ninety eight. I
would consider Actually Game Day was good for

991
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,440
like two years back then around this
time. Yeah, I think I saw

992
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,800
some people in chat asking about Tie
Fighter versus x Wing, and we brought

993
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,199
this up when it was x Wing. Definitely just somehow missed that series completely.

994
01:03:17,639 --> 01:03:22,360
It is one where I'm like,
it's time to go play those games.

995
01:03:22,519 --> 01:03:24,760
Yes, by the X May fourth, I will play those games,

996
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,800
but I kind of want to do
it sooner than that. I just who

997
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,880
the fuck has the time Balder's Game
three is out, We're going to be

998
01:03:30,159 --> 01:03:35,360
hopefully get review codes of one Day
for Starfield, and then my life's over

999
01:03:35,519 --> 01:03:38,800
because of those two games. Um
okay, yes, so Mike, let's

1000
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:43,920
recap Game of the Year nineteen ninety
seven, the games that we both several

1001
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,320
locks, Final Fantasy seven, Castlevania, Symphony in the Night. I think

1002
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:52,679
we just move Curse of Monkey Island
up immediately, because yeah, I think

1003
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,639
that goes goes without all the way. Number three let's go. Yeah,

1004
01:03:54,679 --> 01:04:00,239
I'm fine. I'm fine with that
almost. I um yeah, okay,

1005
01:04:00,239 --> 01:04:01,840
So what we have left is Golden
Eye, Star Fox, Mario Kart,

1006
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,360
Blast Core, Quake two, Ultimate
Online, Mega Man X four, Grand

1007
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,960
Trismo. I know some of these
we've already kind of scratched, but whatever.

1008
01:04:10,599 --> 01:04:15,360
Um, picking from those, I
probably actually do move star Fox up.

1009
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,559
Yeah, that's what I was thinking
too. Actually, that's probably the

1010
01:04:18,679 --> 01:04:21,320
one of all these in so sixty
four games, that's the one of those

1011
01:04:21,559 --> 01:04:25,519
I like the most. Then it's
the one most the most likely to play.

1012
01:04:25,719 --> 01:04:29,360
Now. Yeah, and I love
I love blast Core, but it's

1013
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,760
a very particular game, like it's
a very it's very specific. Yeah,

1014
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,519
it's very specific, and you kind
of have to forgive a lot when you're

1015
01:04:36,559 --> 01:04:40,639
playing it because it's so awkward in
a lot of ways. But it's awkward

1016
01:04:40,679 --> 01:04:44,920
in a fun way. But it's
just not top five material. It's it's

1017
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,199
not um oh, someone you're chest
saying, Papa Rapper. I like Propa

1018
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,840
fine. I was never a PaRappa
guy, So I was I was wondering

1019
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,920
if you're going to bring that up
or not how much. It's all in

1020
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:59,159
the mind. I like it.
I get it, Unjammer lammy stand myself

1021
01:04:59,519 --> 01:05:03,880
really is really I prep with the
Rapper two. I just never played one.

1022
01:05:04,199 --> 01:05:08,159
No, that's a joke. You
can probably guess what my next favorite

1023
01:05:08,199 --> 01:05:11,960
game is in this list. Yeah, And to be honest, Mike,

1024
01:05:12,039 --> 01:05:15,079
I just don't. I don't feel
super strong about anything else. So if

1025
01:05:15,119 --> 01:05:16,719
you wanted to move Mega matt X
four up, I am fine with that

1026
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,840
because I just I love Golden Eye
Deumo seventh at the time. I don't

1027
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,880
want it in the top five now, it's I know that's it's just how

1028
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:29,719
I feel. Um and then Mario
Kart kind of the same. There is

1029
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,920
a part of me because there's a
lot sizes are in blast Core. There's

1030
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,559
a lot of important games here.
Yeah, Quake two great rismolts to my

1031
01:05:36,679 --> 01:05:41,360
line. Boy, would I rather
played Meg Next Floor over any of these?

1032
01:05:42,079 --> 01:05:45,719
Right? I mean I think the
maybe, I don't know, Quake

1033
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,480
two feels like it maybe could go
up there. But I'll make you want

1034
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:51,800
to put Mega Matics four up.
Yeah. Well, Beefammer says this,

1035
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,000
this is gonna get a lot hafe
do Mega but no, like, I

1036
01:05:55,079 --> 01:05:58,400
don't know. Maybe I'm in a
bubble amongst the Mega Man fans that everyone

1037
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:03,920
does agree X four is one of
the better ones. Uh. It's interesting

1038
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:08,000
we have two two D place games
at a time when it was so much

1039
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:15,679
more about three D obviously becoming a
thing. Um there's there's a part of

1040
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,239
me that's thinking we do Quake two
instead of Mega Man x four, But

1041
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:24,760
I don't know how much fun we
did Quake already. Quake was on the

1042
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:30,159
last list. Yes, we put
it above Wave Race even so we gave

1043
01:06:30,199 --> 01:06:34,000
it, gave it its due.
Listen, Quake two going up there at

1044
01:06:34,039 --> 01:06:39,880
number five. Megamaticx four makes perfect
sense to me. But uh, Mega

1045
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,840
manticx four. I've heard that.
I know, I've seen the fans say

1046
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,920
that about Megamatics four being big,
like really really like one am I fighting

1047
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,960
far? Okay, well I wouldn't
go that far, but uh, listen,

1048
01:06:50,239 --> 01:06:54,119
if the list is Final Fantasy seven, Cassivania, Sympthy Like, Curse

1049
01:06:54,159 --> 01:06:56,920
of Monkey Island, Star Fox sixty
four, Mega Man x four, I

1050
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,039
think that's interesting and good and we'll
get hate because we're leaving off Golden Eye

1051
01:07:00,079 --> 01:07:03,000
Mario Kart, but we're not putting
those on the list. Yeah, they

1052
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,159
could deal with it. Let's go
with it. I likes you actually seeing

1053
01:07:05,199 --> 01:07:09,719
some support and chat now, thank
you everybody. Okay, yeah, you

1054
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,679
know, I got a couple of
Mikey games on here. I think the

1055
01:07:12,719 --> 01:07:15,559
most important thing. Honestly, it
is probably like from Busy seven, got

1056
01:07:15,639 --> 01:07:18,039
simply a Knight Wanted two That is
such a super luck to me. Yes,

1057
01:07:18,119 --> 01:07:23,320
and there's so there's almost no doubt
and it's like, um, if

1058
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,880
you know again at the time,
Golden Eye double seven would have one hundred

1059
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,559
percent be up there for me.
But it's just and that's what I was

1060
01:07:29,599 --> 01:07:32,360
playing during that entire year. It
was almost nothing about Golden Night and then

1061
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:36,159
Samario Kart and and and so,
like I missed out on a lot of

1062
01:07:36,199 --> 01:07:39,360
these other games at the time.
I went back to him like the next

1063
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:42,559
year. But uh so, yeah, nineteen ninety seven was kind of one

1064
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:44,880
of those ones like, oh,
I'm kind of everything got lost in the

1065
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,000
black hole that was Golden Eye in
that time. So I'm fine with this

1066
01:07:47,119 --> 01:07:51,039
list. Uh there was that's interesting. I would I almost wonder if I

1067
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,000
fall out instead of being Max four. Nah, now we're not doing we're

1068
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,880
doing mag manx four. Following Well, let's do this, all right,

1069
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,519
I put the thing there are let
me uh post us to Twitter. Have

1070
01:08:01,639 --> 01:08:09,280
people yell at us while we're finishing
up the ship next. Oh, back

1071
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:16,680
like nineteen seventy nine people, at
least for the audio listener. One more

1072
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:21,079
time. Let's start from five,
this time Megabend x four, then star

1073
01:08:21,159 --> 01:08:24,880
Fox sixty four. Moving up the
list, you got the Curse of Monkey

1074
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,680
Island at number two. It's Castlevania
Sympathy of the Night number one, Final

1075
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,279
Fantasy seven. I personally would put
Castlevania above Final Fantasy seven, but it's

1076
01:08:32,319 --> 01:08:35,760
not so strong in that direction that
I feel like I'm gonna argue for it.

1077
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:40,399
So this is this is This works
for me. Okay, I posted

1078
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,359
that to Twitter. Feel free to
just go at me and yell at me

1079
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,520
about that if you want, and
specifically Mike, Yes, Mike, what

1080
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,399
have you been playing? I've been
playing. I gotta go to bast Why

1081
01:08:49,399 --> 01:08:51,000
don't we take a quick break?
But yeah, I was gonna say we

1082
01:08:51,039 --> 01:08:54,479
should take a break because Christian needs
to put these ads in. Anyhow,

1083
01:08:54,479 --> 01:09:02,680
We'll be right back, everybody,
and we're back once again, Do we

1084
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,880
get any more super chats? Yeah? I think we did get a couple

1085
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:10,119
more of those. Actually, one
more of those, specifically from Dean boeing

1086
01:09:10,199 --> 01:09:15,399
sis, it's gubble, it's something
censored on my end. Oh, it's

1087
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:21,079
guble bitches. Fe deanaid, thank
you, thanks Dan shout out, it's

1088
01:09:21,119 --> 01:09:29,239
couple bitches. Apparently that's good.
Thank you. Okay, Mike, what

1089
01:09:29,359 --> 01:09:32,479
have you been playing? Yeah?
I mean it's like, especially when we

1090
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:36,000
started the show right after finishing boters
Gate three, then I started thinking about

1091
01:09:36,039 --> 01:09:40,319
how much I've also been enjoying Pick
before I talked about both of those,

1092
01:09:40,359 --> 01:09:43,840
but I was like literally buzzing.
I'm just so excited to be playing so

1093
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:47,199
many good games right now. It's
just ridiculing, especially these are two games.

1094
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,000
There are so many games I knew
I was looking forward to this year

1095
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:54,800
for real, all right, like
my dia Bol Street Futters Final fantasies that

1096
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,199
it is, right, But like, these are two games. I no,

1097
01:09:58,399 --> 01:10:00,960
I wouldn't have like taken them in
like my draft picks, you know

1098
01:10:00,239 --> 01:10:03,199
that kind of thing. And they're
both great, They're both like really fun.

1099
01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:06,199
I want to play both of these
all the way through now so let's

1100
01:10:06,199 --> 01:10:10,920
just just kind of like realizing that, like, gosh, these are good

1101
01:10:11,279 --> 01:10:15,000
games and they're really interesting and what's
Oh, I'm just really excited. Yep,

1102
01:10:15,239 --> 01:10:18,479
it's uh, you're right, it's
everything is hitting, Just everything is

1103
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,960
hitting. And I think, I
mean a big part of it, I

1104
01:10:23,039 --> 01:10:28,720
think is that developers publishers have realized
if they do put the extra effort into

1105
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,520
the game, it does pay off. It does turn into actual substantial sales

1106
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:38,680
and greases and excitement about the franchise. And I think both both of these

1107
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:43,159
games are examples of that. I
think Pickman four isum is getting that shine

1108
01:10:43,199 --> 01:10:45,640
in Japan for sure. I think
it's it might be due to get a

1109
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,920
little bit of it here in Europe
and in the West in general, but

1110
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:54,319
it's definitely getting in Japan. And
Balder's Gate three obviously just crushing it worldwide,

1111
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:59,720
huge success, And so like people, these publishers realized it's worth putting

1112
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,119
things, putting things off as long
as you can the extra cost of development

1113
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,439
to get things right is worth it. And boy, that's a pretty cool

1114
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:11,640
place to be at in terms of
someone buying and playing these games, where

1115
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:15,920
it's like, oh, they really
do recognize that if if, if they

1116
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:17,159
put in that effort, we'll,
first of all, we're going to appreciate

1117
01:11:17,239 --> 01:11:19,760
it and we're going to be more
excited to spend money on it. So

1118
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:25,399
Jana Choa and chat who says,
I blame you for me enjoying these little

1119
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:30,159
freaks grub Oh hell yeah, you
playing too? Janod he was like,

1120
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:31,680
he was like, so like the
demos like good good to check out?

1121
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,560
Like, yeah, jan please go
play the demo please, I think you

1122
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:41,359
might like it. Yes, he
says, I hate I'm bringing it Anakin

1123
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:45,840
Skywalker Nowger I hate you. Hey, jan Man, hope you're doing good.

1124
01:11:46,159 --> 01:11:55,880
Uh I thank you, thank you, Christian, thank you. Yeah.

1125
01:11:56,199 --> 01:12:00,039
Pickment for is is just it's fantastic. It is so well designed.

1126
01:12:00,199 --> 01:12:03,399
I've said it every week now for
a couple of weeks, but I'm gonna

1127
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:08,479
keep saying it because it does actually
keep getting better because they keep introducing new

1128
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:13,079
stuff, and the new stuff is
super additive in terms of keeping the loop

1129
01:12:13,159 --> 01:12:16,600
fresh. He's did my first night
excursion, Yes, exactly, that was

1130
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:19,319
fun. Right, They're not too
long, They're always the way shorter than

1131
01:12:19,319 --> 01:12:24,079
you're expecting, and yet like they
ramp up in terms of stress and intensity

1132
01:12:24,159 --> 01:12:27,000
in a way that though normal game
does not. So it's like this different

1133
01:12:27,079 --> 01:12:30,319
feeling for a little bit of time, and it has the separate reward system

1134
01:12:30,399 --> 01:12:33,680
that gets you this different thing,
and it's it's just all so good and

1135
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:38,079
all to each other. So well
we need next time we're in person,

1136
01:12:38,159 --> 01:12:42,960
we have to have a dan Dory
battle with steaks of some kind. Sure.

1137
01:12:43,079 --> 01:12:47,239
I love that I figured something out. I m r dude. I

1138
01:12:47,279 --> 01:12:53,199
still wish the dog hat and nose. Oh yeah, totally. I submitted

1139
01:12:53,239 --> 01:12:58,760
some jokes for the next me too. We'll see. It's fun here exactly

1140
01:13:00,279 --> 01:13:01,960
with some stakes on it. This
one too. Uh. And I definitely

1141
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,399
just ripped the dog. It's like
the first a dog designed entirely by cat

1142
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:09,560
people, Like, seriously, we
hate dogs. Look what we did to

1143
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:15,079
this fucker. Um. Yeah,
a nose and front legs just make it

1144
01:13:15,199 --> 01:13:18,600
actually a dog if you're gonna make
a dog. Um. But overall,

1145
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,199
like everything that they're doing for this
game, it, like I said,

1146
01:13:21,279 --> 01:13:25,800
just feeds into one another and it
keeps you wanting to play once you and

1147
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:29,399
it's like one more day is so
easy to do. And I love those

1148
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,720
kinds of games. SIV has always
been that for me, Um, if

1149
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,840
you give me a little session of
gameplay, this like a nice little nugget

1150
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,640
of like I can see what I
can accomplish, and all those things are

1151
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,960
fun to do and feel rewarding and
feel like I'm working towards a bigger goal.

1152
01:13:43,239 --> 01:13:45,479
I'm like, yeah, I'll do
that for those Dan Dory battles I

1153
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:49,079
did, um U, I had
a little bit of an edible last night

1154
01:13:49,279 --> 01:13:54,159
and I played right now. Yeah, and I played one of those Dan

1155
01:13:54,199 --> 01:13:56,279
Dory battles. I'm like, this
is a terrible idea, And I'm like,

1156
01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:00,439
I was actually relaxed enough that I
was like doing awesome micro management between

1157
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,039
both Och and my guy separate,
and I was like, I felt like

1158
01:14:04,159 --> 01:14:06,319
rain manned a little bit. It
was pretty good. I was, and

1159
01:14:06,359 --> 01:14:10,159
I crushed it and I got everything. I beat the entire level and it

1160
01:14:10,199 --> 01:14:12,760
was like a higher difficulty than I've
ever done before. So it was like,

1161
01:14:13,039 --> 01:14:14,800
oh, man, Okay, I
should play this way more often.

1162
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,880
This is pretty good stuff. Um. Super chaff from matt Elhart, and

1163
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,840
I said earlier like this would have
been my draft pick. He points out

1164
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:28,399
that Mike, you literally got picked
before as your first pick, but like

1165
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,239
at the time, I was like, that's oh, that's left. And

1166
01:14:31,359 --> 01:14:36,079
also Mike's very bad at Fantasy critic. Everybody necessarily beat it fancy critic.

1167
01:14:36,119 --> 01:14:38,800
I meant, like, ol for
some reason, I can only get like

1168
01:14:39,199 --> 01:14:42,279
five games from what I knew was
coming out. Sure in the year,

1169
01:14:42,319 --> 01:14:45,840
I wouldn't have picked to pick before, and like I probably should actually because

1170
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:50,359
yeah, it's it is just that
good. And now, I mean Boulterer

1171
01:14:50,399 --> 01:14:54,399
Skate three is intimidating to me.
Mike being like, oh, you could

1172
01:14:54,399 --> 01:14:58,239
spend eighty hours on it. I'm
not gonna like try to tap myself into

1173
01:14:58,359 --> 01:15:00,279
feeling like I'm ever gonna have to
beat it, but I think I'm gonna

1174
01:15:00,359 --> 01:15:04,079
enjoy just keep playing it to have
fun exactly like beat it someday. That's

1175
01:15:04,159 --> 01:15:06,840
nice. If you don't, just
yeah whatever, because it is it is

1176
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:10,880
fun to play. I mean I've
played games like that before, like this,

1177
01:15:11,159 --> 01:15:14,840
honestly. I mean I've done that
with Divinity Original Sin two a couple

1178
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:16,239
of times that are quite got around
to beating it. I wish I did,

1179
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:19,000
but I didn't. Oh well,
I guess I did that with fall

1180
01:15:19,039 --> 01:15:23,119
Out one. Even I still like
played a bunch of fall Out one and

1181
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,760
enjoyed it, so there's there's nothing
wrong with that. Yeah, D mentions

1182
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,880
if I like that Micromansion might like, uh Pickman three on the U.

1183
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:31,279
I played that game. I reviewed
it actually, and I really liked at

1184
01:15:31,319 --> 01:15:34,479
the time, but I liked the
luxe even better on the switch, at

1185
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:38,000
least at the time. I don't
know why this it did intimidate me,

1186
01:15:38,079 --> 01:15:41,880
but the switching between the three people
did intimidate me, and Picked and three

1187
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,079
I would probably have gotten over it
for some reason. You do through me

1188
01:15:45,279 --> 01:15:47,399
if you get over it. But
I think that has been one of the

1189
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,600
franchises big problems is even in Pickman
two, splitting out like make it a

1190
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:56,720
bit like you can split up oche
and and you're captain in this game,

1191
01:15:57,279 --> 01:16:00,439
um and and that you can do
that, but they don't really emphasize that

1192
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,239
too much. They teach you eventually, they don't emphasize it Pickman two and

1193
01:16:04,319 --> 01:16:06,640
Pickman three very much. You're gonna
have two captains, split them up.

1194
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:11,359
You need to be separated to like
maximize your efficiency because there's a big time

1195
01:16:11,399 --> 01:16:14,439
limit hanging over your head. And
three is like even more of that.

1196
01:16:15,119 --> 01:16:17,640
Although you know, once you get
good at like well well, you know,

1197
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,680
I'm just pointing you over to the
map. There's something over there.

1198
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,560
Send them over there. I know
that this area isn't cleared out, so

1199
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:27,079
I will actually go along and make
sure that this is a safe path as

1200
01:16:27,159 --> 01:16:29,840
we push further in this direction,
Like you get the hang of it real

1201
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,039
quick. But the thought I think
to most people is that just sounds like

1202
01:16:33,119 --> 01:16:36,000
a lot of added stress. And
I don't, I don't. I can't

1203
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,720
even imagine myself doing that, and
people so people don't even try it.

1204
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,640
And with this game, they're like, we need to step back from that.

1205
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,079
And that was that was definitely the
right choice, the right choice that

1206
01:16:46,239 --> 01:16:50,359
that is uh right uh and then
yeah, like yeah, back to Boulder

1207
01:16:50,399 --> 01:16:54,720
Skate three. I just, um, I really liked to seeing the dice

1208
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,800
rolls on screen. I love the
dice rolls. I think I don't know

1209
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,720
why, but having them literally baite
dice rolls. What a couple of times

1210
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,960
I played Dudges and Dragons, I
cared so much more about that shit,

1211
01:17:05,279 --> 01:17:08,239
Like, yeah, I'm talking to
it. I'm talking like I'm talking to

1212
01:17:08,319 --> 01:17:10,520
my guy. He's pinning to be
a barkeeper, and they want me to

1213
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,920
roll a dice to see if I
get information or not. Yeah, I

1214
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,000
don't know why. I liked that
a lot more than doing the battle.

1215
01:17:16,079 --> 01:17:18,319
So I like that that is,
and I like that it's not like,

1216
01:17:18,359 --> 01:17:20,800
oh, we're doing the dice roll
just in the background. I like that.

1217
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:24,119
It's like, here's the dice.
You're gonna actually roll a dice.

1218
01:17:24,239 --> 01:17:27,560
Cool and um, I kind of
wish and this is like a problem with

1219
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,239
D and D. I'm a problem. This is a facet of D and

1220
01:17:30,319 --> 01:17:32,600
D where like when you get a
failing roll, I kind of wish there

1221
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:38,000
would be consequences sometimes, so like
I got a critical failure and I'm like,

1222
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,479
there should be consequences, and it's
like, no, actually, you

1223
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,479
just really suck at the thing you
were trying to do and that's it.

1224
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,079
Nothing bad happens, right, because
I'm like, I want interesting things to

1225
01:17:45,119 --> 01:17:48,039
be happening, whether I'm rolling good
or rolling bad, and it's like,

1226
01:17:48,119 --> 01:17:50,640
well, the interesting thing you usually
is going to happen if you roll you

1227
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,840
know, pretty good. But still
overall, I really like that. I

1228
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,840
liked m that. I don't know, it's that detective game. I can

1229
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:00,760
never remember the name of that.
Everyone really likes. Oh yes, yes,

1230
01:18:01,239 --> 01:18:03,720
now I'm breaking on it too.
The one that they're having the legal

1231
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:08,239
trouble with the sequel, Yes,
exactly, and everyone always in a chat

1232
01:18:08,279 --> 01:18:11,439
always has to help me remember it. But that game has dice rolls in

1233
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:15,439
the disco Alicia, and thank you
so much, h and like the seeing

1234
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,199
the death of Dice rolls in that
was always fun. This one puts right

1235
01:18:17,279 --> 01:18:19,159
up in front of you. I
think I do wish it was like a

1236
01:18:19,239 --> 01:18:23,680
physical die die rolling around like a
playing field. They just sort of like

1237
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,960
cheat it, but it's it's a
number generator, but it's still really fun.

1238
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,039
Um. And then you know,
it's like exciting when you see like,

1239
01:18:30,119 --> 01:18:31,840
oh, you know, I gotta
I gotta nine and the checks the

1240
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,359
skill check was a ten, but
I have a plus one and so I

1241
01:18:34,399 --> 01:18:38,319
got a ten, so I passed. It's really exciting. UM. And

1242
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:43,359
then like you sup, we're saying
earlier the U the production values, it

1243
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:47,199
looks so good for one of these, and it honestly just looks good period,

1244
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:51,600
Like like the details on all the
characters. Um, the creative character

1245
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,720
is very very good. It's just
you could tell that a lot of love

1246
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:00,359
was put into this game, and
it's not just um, oh, like,

1247
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,560
oh, there's detailed characters if you're
playing like this one kind of character.

1248
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,800
The breadth of content here, like
it's it's just like you can do

1249
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:12,399
your own specific character, or they
give you six main characters that you can

1250
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,680
actually select rights like straight out of
the original. Sin two has something like

1251
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,560
that. They did that before end. But it's like yes, and it's

1252
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:23,079
like, looks like there's a ton
of work from that angle put in here.

1253
01:19:23,159 --> 01:19:26,960
So yeah, it just feels like
this is a love letter to the

1254
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,319
genre, love letter to fans of
this kind of game, and it also

1255
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,000
is it's not just that it is
carrying it forward as well, and I'm

1256
01:19:33,039 --> 01:19:38,720
I'm very excited to play more.
Very early on the game, speaking of

1257
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,720
dice rolls, they they want you
to roll better than a one. Better

1258
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,720
you have to roll at least a
two. Yeah, basically just get a

1259
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:49,119
party member. Right yet, Oh
really, but I wondered if they were

1260
01:19:49,159 --> 01:19:53,840
cooking those early ones some people assume, but in like, I didn't.

1261
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,800
I don't want to be like the
scums like save Scummer in this game,

1262
01:19:57,039 --> 01:19:59,000
right, Like, oh, I'm
just gonna keep rolling. It's like what

1263
01:19:59,079 --> 01:20:00,560
I want. But I was like, Okay, look I'm not going to

1264
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:04,960
not get this party member sure the
rest of the game, because like Roto

1265
01:20:05,039 --> 01:20:09,920
one year, it was uh just
incredible. What kind of character did you

1266
01:20:10,039 --> 01:20:15,479
make though? I actually went with
a a historian, the white haired elf

1267
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,479
guy Rogue, So you did go
with one, the guy who's kind of

1268
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,279
on the main cover everywhere. I
think, here's here's my plan. I

1269
01:20:20,359 --> 01:20:25,720
think for my personal game, I'm
going to play through like that and then

1270
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,279
if we do any multiplayer stuff with
like the guy's a giant bomb. Uh,

1271
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:31,159
my plan is to create a character
for that, and I think I'm

1272
01:20:31,159 --> 01:20:33,279
gonna be a little uh. I
think I'm gonna be a little dwarf.

1273
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,760
I want to be either that or
half lean one or the other. I

1274
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,119
like the idea of being like a
little hot but a little freak. Yeah.

1275
01:20:40,159 --> 01:20:41,920
Yeah, well I want to be
a little freak. I absolutely do.

1276
01:20:42,039 --> 01:20:45,600
And I think that would be fun
because I expect, uh, everyone

1277
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,640
else to either make a super hot
lady or a super buff dude, and

1278
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,239
I want to stand out from that
a little bit. And if I stand

1279
01:20:50,279 --> 01:20:55,319
out, I mean stand down.
Yeah. I made I made a standing

1280
01:20:55,319 --> 01:20:58,960
on real quick. That reminds me. I think last week we I was

1281
01:20:59,079 --> 01:21:01,560
making a joke about how we were
taller than everyone at the gaming thing,

1282
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,840
and so one pointed out that that
was kind of rude, and they were

1283
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,479
right, And I thought at the
time, you did a good job of

1284
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,920
pointing out how stupid I sounded by
making a sound like we're alpha males or

1285
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,800
something. I'm gonna emphasize that that
was a very stupid thing I said.

1286
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:16,760
I was just joking. Everybody,
so sorry about that. I think it's

1287
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,840
so you're fine. Yeah, someone
pointed out, I'm like, you're right,

1288
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:24,960
absolutely, it's okay. Somebody pointed
out that we brought up that Taylor

1289
01:21:25,119 --> 01:21:29,119
Swift think from that Jimmy Fallon bitz. I was like, you shouldn't do

1290
01:21:29,239 --> 01:21:31,079
that. I'm like, man,
even though I can't imagine anybody that's more

1291
01:21:31,199 --> 01:21:35,720
like aiming high, for sure,
I won't make fun of Taylor Swift in

1292
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:40,279
anyway. Well, that's just for
your own personal safety. But that's just

1293
01:21:40,359 --> 01:21:42,640
for my own safety I was making
fun of. I was just I just

1294
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:47,640
thought it was funny with those other
guys. I don't care because I have

1295
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,159
no opinion. I end up,
to be honest, I never really looked

1296
01:21:50,279 --> 01:21:57,680
there. I don't even know Anyways, um I made I made out just

1297
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,239
a human male cleric. I like
be healers in these kind of games.

1298
01:22:00,319 --> 01:22:05,960
Jeff, ever since Divinity Original,
not Devin ever since Dragon Age origins,

1299
01:22:06,199 --> 01:22:10,319
because in that game, there's only
one healer you can get in your party,

1300
01:22:10,359 --> 01:22:13,880
and it's just some old lady and
you gotta have her at your party

1301
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:15,720
because you need a healer. It's
like just kind of had Grandma with me

1302
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:19,359
the whole time, even though they
are all these cool characters I wanted by

1303
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,720
party, and the whole time I
kept thinking I should have been a healer

1304
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:28,000
then I wouldn't need this Grandma here, because I think you're always gonna find

1305
01:22:28,079 --> 01:22:30,560
other people to deal damage. You're
gonna have those rights am around, right,

1306
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:33,199
But like a healer, you're gonna
on the one may as well be

1307
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:38,119
me in case the only healer they
throw my way sucks or something. Although

1308
01:22:38,279 --> 01:22:41,560
in this game, like the second
person you meet is a healer is a

1309
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:45,039
clear healer too, So that's the
one I almost didn't get in my party.

1310
01:22:45,119 --> 01:22:46,399
So yeah, have you, like
in your game, have you met

1311
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,600
a story and yet, because I'm
wondering if, like, since I picked

1312
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,800
him, if you get him handed
to you earlier or whatever. I don't

1313
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:56,159
think I just pulled a I just
pulled a guy out of a portal.

1314
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:58,880
That's that's not fake. I don't
think it's a story, and I think

1315
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:02,000
it was a wizard. So not
him. Historians are what is a rogue?

1316
01:23:02,039 --> 01:23:05,119
Rogue? Yeah, not him.
Then I'm to come across him yet,

1317
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:10,760
Okay, I'm It's it's like,
oh, you they present those characters

1318
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:14,279
to you that you could select from, and then when you play the game

1319
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:15,399
like that's those are the first people
you're meeting. So I'm like, oh,

1320
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,039
that must be the main crew and
that's how they're actually making this all

1321
01:23:18,079 --> 01:23:20,359
work. So I was like,
oh, well, if I'm paying one

1322
01:23:20,399 --> 01:23:24,560
of them, I wonder another character
would have been here instead. And I

1323
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:26,800
have no idea. Yeah, I
was wondering something that myself just like,

1324
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,359
yeah, well I know I could
play this like you know that in the

1325
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:33,680
beginning. I know she's not an
orc, but whatever, it's from Mass

1326
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:36,600
Effect but whatever. Yeah, but
you see this like her in the CG

1327
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:40,800
intro. Even I'm like, what
if I'm her? How does this play

1328
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,439
differently? Or exactly what if I
am that? Quick? Yeah, it's

1329
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:46,279
interesting think about that but again Divinity, Rigel said, uh, Sin two

1330
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,479
did that, but there it was
a bit more straightforward because all those people

1331
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:55,439
were like right there in that starting
boat with Yeah, you don't immediately encounter

1332
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,720
all these characters right away that you
did in that one. Yep. I

1333
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:02,680
um, yeah, I'm just kind
of curious to hear more people talk about

1334
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,720
this game. I'm gonna I'm want
to hear their other experiences because it seems

1335
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:09,399
like it's going to have a lot
of opportunity for that sort of stuff.

1336
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,680
And also it's the kind of game
that I think a lot of people who

1337
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,520
are playing it haven't played before or
have not played in a long time.

1338
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:19,039
So it'll be cool to have this
genre of front out there, kind of

1339
01:24:19,079 --> 01:24:21,680
front and center, and to hear
what everyone thinks about it. And then,

1340
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:26,079
you know, a couple of weeks, we're playing Armored Corps, playing

1341
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,640
Starfield, We're playing so many back
at it, yes, right back at

1342
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:31,600
it. Yeah. We we had
like one week where like nothing came out

1343
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:35,119
basically, and then Picking four came
out and now here we are and it's

1344
01:24:35,199 --> 01:24:38,279
just right back. I mean,
you know, there's like Ben's like again,

1345
01:24:38,359 --> 01:24:41,319
smaller stuff. I feel bad and
not play more but that Double Dragon

1346
01:24:41,359 --> 01:24:44,239
guide and we really like that than
like the game came out. I haven't

1347
01:24:44,279 --> 01:24:46,720
really been able to play. Everyone
everyone who played Dave the Diver it keeps

1348
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:51,279
talking about really likes that. And
then um want to go back to remake

1349
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:56,319
the Sister Star remake, which I
feel like was really really you watch that

1350
01:24:56,319 --> 01:24:59,680
Matt mcmussele's video about it. I
keep wanning to watch that System Shock Yeah

1351
01:25:00,239 --> 01:25:02,560
no, oh no, I didn't
see it. Is what happened that just

1352
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,760
came out now, I haven't seen
that one. Yeah, yeah, I'm

1353
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:08,960
gonna check that out. Yeah,
so because it was in development hell for

1354
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,520
a while, so I want to
see but yeah, just gosh, I

1355
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,640
kind of like I resent because I
would like to play more Boarders GAT three

1356
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:19,039
almost tonight, but I like,
I really want like a big block of

1357
01:25:19,159 --> 01:25:21,399
time to play it, and I
know we kind of like hang out.

1358
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:25,199
I don't want to play it while
talking to people. So it's like,

1359
01:25:25,319 --> 01:25:28,000
man, I just can't wait till
hopefully it's some time tomorrow to play it

1360
01:25:28,079 --> 01:25:32,000
some more and all this stuff we'll
see. Yep. We're we're kind of

1361
01:25:32,119 --> 01:25:35,319
debating, going back and forth about
doing it for UPF tomorrow or maybe that

1362
01:25:35,399 --> 01:25:40,520
new Fortnite stuff. But I'm I
can make two hours of Boulders game multiplayer.

1363
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:42,399
I think I think I'll probably would
be enough to like get a good

1364
01:25:42,399 --> 01:25:45,640
idea of what that's like. Yeah, so hopefully we can make that happen.

1365
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,079
I think that'd be fun. Okay, Mike, I think we're gonna

1366
01:25:48,079 --> 01:25:50,079
wrap stuff up. So that sound
good. Maybe get out of here,

1367
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:54,159
Yeah sounds good. Oh Dan Record
doesn't like our list, I don't know.

1368
01:25:54,199 --> 01:25:57,439
Oh he's he loves gold and nine
that's right. Yeah, he's a

1369
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,760
big goal. He's one of those
freaks. I just um, I played

1370
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:05,840
a PC uh not port like basically
remake that fans did of Golden Eye with

1371
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,319
mouse and keyboard support, and that
was fun. I played that for like

1372
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,640
a hot week and I had a
good time with that. I just can't

1373
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,399
go back to that original. I
mean, I think I don't have to

1374
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:16,760
do analog sticks. I mean,
I mean I said this before, but

1375
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,960
like I had Quick like you know, I know it's spoiled. I could

1376
01:26:20,039 --> 01:26:23,640
play Quick do like we had a
computer. I could do that, so,

1377
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,319
like you know, and that was
you know, around the saving year.

1378
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:29,560
So I just never I never really
cared about gold and I too much.

1379
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:30,880
I played it. I had some
of my play have to play with

1380
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:36,199
people. Sure, but I was
I never really quite understood the giant Uh

1381
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:41,439
hoopla, Uh, Mike, anymore
super tricks before we get out of here.

1382
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,680
Yes, Giovanni di Giorgio says,
just wanted to show my appreciation.

1383
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,079
Keep it the great work. Oh
is it true that if you don't use

1384
01:26:48,119 --> 01:26:51,680
it, you listen? Is that
a serious question? Yes? Absolutely,

1385
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:56,319
and the answer is definitely. Mike
eel Lyrics says, a shout out to

1386
01:26:56,399 --> 01:27:00,560
both of you wearing Oceanic Theam shirts. Your jobs are beach Jeff. When

1387
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:03,720
when I saw that meme, I
immediately thought of Green Dog. Remember Green

1388
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:10,199
Dog? I don't remember Green Saga
Genesis Green Dog. No, no memory

1389
01:27:10,239 --> 01:27:12,880
of Green Dog for the Saga Genesis. I think I remember seeing Green Dog

1390
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,800
at a demo station out of Sears
and I thought the gate looked really cool.

1391
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,119
Apparently it's terrible. Uh sorry,
but I remember Red Dog that like

1392
01:27:19,199 --> 01:27:23,840
that beer from the nineties that was
a big deal for Green Dogs is the

1393
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:27,159
beach Bum and he's in a two
D platform for the Sega Genesis, which

1394
01:27:27,159 --> 01:27:30,920
I still kind of want to place
them. There's a lot of two D

1395
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,079
platforms for the Sega Genesis. I'll
kind of want to go back to.

1396
01:27:33,239 --> 01:27:35,880
But all right, I'm gonna hit
this button, wait or any other?

1397
01:27:36,119 --> 01:27:39,199
Is there another super Chest? No? I got it. Nope, we

1398
01:27:39,279 --> 01:27:41,359
are good. Thank you so much
for all the super chests. Thank you

1399
01:27:41,399 --> 01:27:45,079
for the thumbs up at times.
Wow, this music so peaceful. So

1400
01:27:45,359 --> 01:27:48,000
yeah, animal crossing stuff, that's
always kind of peaceful. Mikey, where

1401
01:27:48,039 --> 01:27:51,039
can people find you on the internet? I mean, uh, you know,

1402
01:27:51,239 --> 01:27:56,520
Tolkoto on Twitter or whatever the hell
it is. This sky have to

1403
01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,840
be bashful about it. Yeah,
I'm pretty bashful about it. We had

1404
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,359
a lot of fun this week voicemail, dump truck and back rub, and

1405
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,199
you know, I was very excited. You know you you asked me to

1406
01:28:08,279 --> 01:28:10,920
be on a bomb cast. I
thought it was just like a normally Oh

1407
01:28:11,039 --> 01:28:12,840
you need a fourth I'm gonna be
there. I was like, oh wow,

1408
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,119
everybody was here. That was really
fun. So that was a good

1409
01:28:15,159 --> 01:28:19,279
time being on bomb Cast. Eight
hundred people should listen to that. Absolutely,

1410
01:28:19,279 --> 01:28:24,119
that was a fun time. Yeah. We uh got some new stuff

1411
01:28:24,159 --> 01:28:30,319
happening pretty soon on Giant Bomb.
I think on Monday I'm gonna start my

1412
01:28:30,399 --> 01:28:33,600
Mortal Kombat play through and the idea
is i'll stream it probably after games mornings

1413
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,600
most days. Um, and I'm
gonna kind of I'll be in the channel

1414
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:39,960
and hopefully people just hop in.
So, Mike, if you want to

1415
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,239
come spend some time while I play
some some Mortal Kombat. Feel free.

1416
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,600
But it's not like those things where
it's like, oh you're if you're on

1417
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:45,359
the show, you're on the show. It's just like, come hang out

1418
01:28:45,359 --> 01:28:48,000

some Mortal Kombat. Um, there's some

1419
01:28:48,079 --> 01:28:51,119
other stuff happening next week. Look
out for that. That'll that'll be fun.

1420
01:28:51,159 --> 01:28:55,479
I'm gonna maybe start a new video
series too. It's it's it's it's

1421
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,800
good time. So we had a
productive meeting, So check out giant bomb

1422
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,079
dot com. Everybody in the course, miss morning. So I'll be doing

1423
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:03,680
well. Hey, I'm going to
packs with them. Yeah, you're gonna

1424
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:08,079
be a pack. Mike's gonna be
a pax everybody. So if you are

1425
01:29:08,159 --> 01:29:12,039
going to packs West, we'll have
some details about like how to how either

1426
01:29:12,119 --> 01:29:15,600
go to our panels, other other
things. We might be doing meetups things

1427
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,319
like that. We actually are having
a meetium about that next week as well,

1428
01:29:18,359 --> 01:29:20,760
so we'll get all those details out
to your packs for me. Since

1429
01:29:21,079 --> 01:29:25,800
twenty twelve, I believe the second
Packs East wasn't my latest one. We'll

1430
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,640
have to look back on my Google
photos to remember the last time I went.

1431
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,119
I think I went in like twenty
seventeen or something like that. But

1432
01:29:32,199 --> 01:29:36,159
Packs has always been fun, always
fun cut You always just run into awesome

1433
01:29:36,159 --> 01:29:41,560
people. Remember Matt Chandernay one of
the first years I went from Area five.

1434
01:29:42,399 --> 01:29:44,279
She ended up in at dinner with
him and He's just like, hey,

1435
01:29:44,319 --> 01:29:45,199
yeah, I know you from Twitter. Jeff, like we could talk,

1436
01:29:45,239 --> 01:29:47,720
and that was so nice that that
kind of vibe is very cool.

1437
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:51,079
Thank you for having me as your
guest today. God damn it. Bye,

1438
01:29:51,119 --> 01:30:02,039
everybody. One show am I doing? I'm good at that? It's

1439
01:30:02,399 --> 01:30:23,640
really terrifying. Let's go. Let's
go, Sean. Most people are beating

1440
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:33,159
it right now. Okay, Mike, are you good? I'm good.

1441
01:30:33,279 --> 01:30:35,479
Let's just do it. Actually,
I'm just gonna run grab one thing.

1442
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:39,239
I'll be right back, all right, I'll keep these people. I wonder

1443
01:30:39,239 --> 01:30:41,840
if I'm for getting a thing.
It took a lot. The biggest use

1444
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:45,960
of the week the final Fantasy fourteen
trailers. She did. There was a

1445
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,399
super chat about it, and I
talked about it a bit, but you

1446
01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:51,479
should talk for like an hour about
it. Yeah, I guess we never

1447
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:56,840
did really talk about it much in
content. I don't think people they're still,

1448
01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:00,920
what are you talking about that?
Well, fan Fest, I guess.

1449
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,640
I guess they just said fan fest. That's not very clear what fan

1450
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:06,880
fest. Well, the next one
fest is in it's in Europe, I

1451
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:12,359
think I think it's in like the
UK. So that seems in October they're

1452
01:31:12,359 --> 01:31:15,359
gonna show the full trailer. Oh, October, I'm not going in October

1453
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:18,840
anywhere. There's a lot. Oh
the next one, I'm she was looking

1454
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:24,199
at. The next one is in
January in Japan's fucking like an next use

1455
01:31:24,199 --> 01:31:28,680
a Togo Japan. I feel like
something's happening in Japan or January. I

1456
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:33,239
mean, that's also happening I think
on that time. Hi, Jeff,

1457
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:38,239
hell um okay, I think I
am good to bring us back into the

1458
01:31:38,399 --> 01:31:43,920
second. Actually, let me get
a dock. Let me get a dock.

surprised. Oh no, I don't worry

1461
01:32:10,199 --> 01:32:17,079

you wouldn't even notice. So no,

1462
01:32:17,319 --> 01:32:23,159
no, oh, never mind,
I didn't say anything. I did not

1463
01:32:23,279 --> 01:32:29,720
say anything. Okay, let's bring
it back in. Yes, alright,

1466
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,720
I know, oh you know what, Kevin Mitchell, I didn't mean to

1467
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:50,399
mention Blade Runner. I really really
like Blade Runner the west the Westwood Studios,

where I'm at with Ochareno of Time.

1477
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:38,279
That's the big thing. So yeah, green hum says Acharan of time as

1478
01:33:38,279 --> 01:33:41,039
God's here. I just yeah,
I don't know. For me, it's

1479
01:33:41,079 --> 01:33:43,399
like, yeah, it's like links
awake in the rap. Sorry, it's

1480
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:45,960
like, um, linked to the
past but three D and very good.

1481
01:33:46,039 --> 01:33:50,159
It's very good. But I just
I don't know. I like linked to

1482
01:33:50,159 --> 01:33:54,760
the past better. I like,
I'm like, I'm better. So and

1483
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,439
you play this game so all the
time, So it's not like this is

1484
01:33:57,520 --> 01:33:59,520
not like oh, when there was
a Kuti, what's good? This is

1485
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:02,359
like no, no, yeah,
well yeah, it's it's been a couple

1486
01:34:02,359 --> 01:34:04,800
of years for Ocher enough time.
But I yeah, I played the three

1487
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:08,479
D S version when I was getting
my three DS hacked. I played it

1488
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,960
again a little bit. Um,
well, I should you get that out?

1489
01:34:12,119 --> 01:34:15,399
I'll get that out. Maybe that's
why are you still in Nintendo jail.

1490
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:21,600
Yeah, oh well listen, if
we were out in Nintendo jail,

1491
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:25,960
the things wouldn't be that different.
Like it's not like it like, oh,

1492
01:34:26,079 --> 01:34:28,720
we'd been making so much more money
because we have access to these games.

1493
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:30,680
Now, people the same amount of
people you're watch them. We'll be

1494
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,840
fine. We're all good. Linked
to the Past is is better. But

1495
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:40,399
you can't deny yes, Occherio The
Times importance is, Yeah, you cannot

1496
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:45,000
overstate it. You're right, it's
it's huge. Um yeah, I really

1497
01:34:45,039 --> 01:34:46,960
like Oker enough time. I just
I just don't know if I still love

1498
01:34:47,039 --> 01:34:51,159
it the way I did back in
nineteen ninety eight. Um, but I'll

1499
01:34:51,199 --> 01:34:55,760
get that three D S version out
and play something this week. I just

1500
01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:58,560
played on the Steam Deck, though
I don't know my three D S.

1501
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:03,279
I ordered a battery for it Christian
from Amazon, and I think I threw

1502
01:35:03,359 --> 01:35:09,479
it away. I think other things
came in the box, because I remember

1503
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,520
getting a box that said lithium ion
sticker on it. I'm like, oh,

1504
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:14,000
that must be in there, and
I opened it and like, I

1505
01:35:14,039 --> 01:35:15,720
think something else was on top,
and then there was some paper, and

1506
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,960
then I don't think I ever found
or really even looked for the battery,

1507
01:35:19,279 --> 01:35:23,000
and I think I just threw the
box out. And so I just threw

1508
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,239
out a lithium iya. I knew
lithium ion battery. So if my local

1509
01:35:26,319 --> 01:35:29,840
dump catches on fire, it's my
fault. Yeah. The next yeah,

1510
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:33,439
the next wildfire that happens. Yeah, I need to buy it directly into

1511
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,000
you. I don't have to buy
another one of those because my three DS

1512
01:35:36,119 --> 01:35:41,840
battery is fucking shot. It's completely
shut. She gets strong here. Yep,

1513
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,960
that's right, fishing love. All
right, Mike, you're good to

1514
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:46,680
get back into it. Yeah,
I'm sure to switch the scene back to

1515
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:51,039
the two people. Yeah, let
me do that right now. There we

1516
01:35:51,159 --> 01:36:00,520
go. Okay, make it six. But it has to be should be

1517
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,439
required, you know, the silence
has to be sexy now you Oh shit,

1518
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:05,880
Okay, hang on, let me
make sure that we're there. Okay,

1519
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:06,319
