5
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.679
and they're ready to pod. We're
all ready to pod together. Co Captain

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:53.679
of the Ship returning triumphantly returning to
the podcast, Jeff Grubb, Hello,

7
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.359
I'm living that m twenty two life. I'm a Michigander once again. I

8
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.200
spent a week there and that's my
whole lifestyle now. So just get used

9
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.680
to it. Fantastic, fantastic and
something we're all getting used to. We're

10
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.599
getting used to his presence, just
being around here all all the time,

11
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.680
constantly, and we welcome it.
We have games beat's own like Manati.

12
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.040
Hello, how's it going. Yes, I'm no longer in the pocket of

13
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.319
big theme park. I am now
firmly in the corner of small regional amusement

14
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.400
park. That's right, that's right. I've seen some pictures. They looked

15
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:32.560
fantastic ladies and gentlemen returning to the
site his presence has been in the walls.

16
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.280
He is. He is the voice
inside your mind and in your hearts

17
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:48.519
and perhaps in your spirit. Dan
Rekert bra what happened? Oh that's very

18
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.879
annoying. Let me let's just do
this all right. Yes, I am

19
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.280
not one hundred I'm sorry. I
took up the mask audio listeners. It

20
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.760
was me all even my immediate family
bought it. When you said you weren't

21
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.000
gonna do it that long, I
thought it was going to go on longer.

22
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:12.840
So it was annoying me that.
Yeah, yeah it, Boy,

23
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.639
that was a couple of weeks.
That was rough. Don't get your head

24
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.680
scraped out and cut up on the
inside a lot. You're gonna have a

25
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.319
real rough four days especially, and
then it gets better, but it still

26
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.280
sucks. Wasn't it good that you
got your head scooped out though, Dan?

27
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.479
Yeah? I mean, yes,
yes, it needed to happen.

28
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.520
And like I can already tell some
of the benefits. I can definitely breathe

29
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.919
better and things like that. But
I'm still like in recovery mode. I'm

30
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:46.280
saying I'm like eighty percent those first
three or four days honestly, like the

31
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.400
hardest days of my life. I
think in terms of just like physically and

32
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.360
like you just can't. I was
prepared for it to be bad that you

33
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.400
can't breathe through your nose, but
you don't really think about how often you're

34
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.240
breathing through your nose until you can't
do it. For my number one way

35
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.840
to breathe, yes, like Mount
Rushmore breathing. Yeah, but all the

36
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.360
things that like also like when you're
swallowing. You know, I'm trying to

37
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.960
like hydrate and drink water, and
every time you swallow and your whole head

38
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.479
is just filled with gunk and you
feel everything shifting and clicking around in your

39
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.360
skull as you're drinking, and blood's
coming out and stuff, and it's just

40
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.639
it is a nasty, gross thing. Now, Dan, I did you

41
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.000
get you trimmed your beer and got
different glasses? Right? Those both also

42
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.719
happened? Yes, Okay, okay, because like there's going to go there's

43
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.840
going to be rumors now that that
the surgery actually replaced you and you're a

44
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.479
complete doppel ganger, and there's ultimate
situation. Yes, Chris, Yes,

45
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.000
Chris, it's Chris. Yeah.
So should we ask questions that only Dan

46
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.520
Ryker would know the answer to.
Sure, Okay, what is Yoshi's Island

47
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:49.719
a mainline Mario game? No,
he plays Yoshi Wait I mean yeah,

48
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:55.439
I mean yeah, yeah, some
of worlds on the box right right,

49
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.840
yeah, No, it's World You
on the box. But mark Bark Bark.

50
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.680
They tasted different yet, yes,
so uh there. I have ups

51
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.960
and downs in terms of like how
much I can breathe and how congested I

52
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.599
am. So it ups and downs, but there have been moments glimpses where

53
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.199
I felt totally clear, and my
dad was very nice to to come all

54
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.000
the way up here from Kansas and
watch after me. Wal Bank was on

55
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.160
on a work trip to make sure
I didn't die, and we ordered Taco

56
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.120
Bell at one point. It was
the first day after I started being able

57
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.920
to breathe through my nose, and
we got Taco Bell and time you don't

58
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.439
like Taco Bell anymore? We don't
know. No, no, no,

59
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.399
it's it's the opposite. It's uh
something I know very well. The taste

60
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.680
of that nacho cheese with that comes
with the nacho fries and the chips and

61
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.639
cheese. It tasted the way I
remember tasting when I was a kid.

62
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:56.600
Oh beautiful, which I've had that
so many times scene cheese, I don't

63
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.959
get a reference, but yes,
but it tasted like better and like I

64
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.879
love it anyway, obviously, But
there have been times I've tasted something to

65
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.360
been like that's a little liper.
I'll step outside and I'll smell something about

66
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.920
like nature and like, oh man, I didn't notice that before. Like

67
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.399
so I'm I'm there are flashes of
that, and I hope that becomes kind

68
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.879
of the norm. As this heels
up, Dan re experiencing all of his

69
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.639
childhood senses, just food flavors.
Yeah, I'm so sorry for you to

70
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.000
like drink a coca and of pepsi
and maybe even a diet cokein diet pepsi,

71
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.399
it'd actually get a difference. Now, that'll be the same, right,

72
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:40.319
bar I say, yeah, making
that noise? Yeah, when we

73
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.720
when I ask you to clap,
you're always like that's what you say?

74
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.399
What I do? Yeah, grub
you're also back. How was taking an

75
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.600
actual vacation? It was nice.
I did a lot of fun stuff.

76
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.120
Went to the beach a bunch of
times. That was great. Went to

77
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.639
a butterfly house and a butterfly landed
on me. That was neat. It

78
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.199
was mostly just relaxing. It was. It was cool because we went to

79
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:14.839
let's explain this. My wife's uncle's
wife's family gave her a house. And

80
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.319
it's like like he's like an older
guy had an extra house, just like

81
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.480
here, here's the house and that's
like in Traverse City. Hey, so

82
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:25.040
it's like real located. Anyone listening
has an extra house they want to give

83
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.399
away right right at me, baby, let's do it. Let's tell me

84
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.959
we should try to court that.
You know. The whole thing about how

85
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.879
like Sean Michaels was just giving two
million dollars from some fans will and like

86
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.959
you never met the guy ever,
and some fans just like I want HPK

87
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.759
to have two million of my dollar. It's like we do we have fans

88
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.399
like that? Can you set that
up fans? We probably go at least

89
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.079
one fan like that. Yeah.
The house houses houses money, any devil

90
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.160
take it horses? Yeah yeah yeah. Uh. The the butther part is,

91
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.360
uh, the people that lived there
before were smokers. They've tried to

92
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.639
like deal with this, and we
got there and they're like do you notice

93
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.759
it? I'm like not really,
and I didn't notice the whole week.

94
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.959
And then literally the second I got
home and got out of the van and

95
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.120
walked in our house and then walked
back to the van to get all our

96
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.920
stuff out. I'm like, this
van smells like the inside of an ash

97
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.759
tray. It's so bad. So
now I'm dealing with that, like,

98
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.680
no complaints. Really, still free
place to stay, and it was.

99
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.240
It was a great vacation and we
didn't notice it when we were there,

100
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.879
so it was fine. But it's
like, now we're dealing with that.

101
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.160
And that was a little bit about
bummer because I brought all my new Episode

102
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.199
one t shirts that I just bought
from Hot Topic and they all smell like

103
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.920
cigarettes. Now that was my own
little like protest. I wasn't like feeling

104
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.360
super patriotic this week, so I'm
like, I'll just wear episode one shirts

105
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.399
instead of you know, white and
blue shirts. And I felt pretty good

106
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.519
about that. I've gone a love
Episode one either. That's the only republic

107
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.160
I stod for. You love it
more than America? Exactly what I was

108
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.720
getting at. Thank you for understanding, all right? I understood, because

109
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:57.560
you know, Episode one really embraces
racial stereotypes of all different denominations. Yet

110
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.720
yep I Episode one I didn't it's
a bad movie, but the way I

111
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.800
took it in I like cause I
worked at the theater at the time.

112
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.439
I was an usher, and so
I knew the timing for the Darth Maul,

113
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.399
like when the doors open and you
know, and like that part always

114
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.800
got me hyped up. So I
would just like every seth as an usher,

115
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.360
I'd be like, all right,
we're an hour thirty or whatever,

116
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.439
and I'll walk in there, watch
the Darth Mall fight, and leave it

117
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.959
like all right. Yeah. So
I have like positive memories of Phantom that

118
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.959
they're definitely more good moments because you
have that, You have the pod race,

119
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.079
Like what's the good moment? Episode
two, the the ninety second fight

120
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.480
between Jango Fed and Obi Wan.
Is it even that long? The crowd

121
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.080
in the theater on opening night marked
the fuck out at Yoda getting a light

122
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.279
table yeah my two Yeah, yeah, Crad And then I was like,

123
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.360
oh, maybe I didn't want this. I don't know what I want.

124
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.120
Episode two, there's like the moment
where like Padme like jumps down from the

125
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.080
pillar like as a young lad.
That was like, oh, oh sure.

126
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.320
The sexual awakening of the prequel trilogy
definitely yeah, like middrift slashed.

127
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.320
Yeah, you're younger, so that
was your GoldenEye moment that I had.

128
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:11.399
Okay, okay, Padme squeezes the
light out of a drawer on the top

129
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:18.440
right. It was actually halle Berry
and the Flintstones movie. You think about

130
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.960
the Flintstone so much, it's many
many reasons. Yeah, it's a bonus.

131
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.679
I went to a flea market over
the weekend, Mike, and there

132
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.360
were a lot of Flintstones memorabilia,
and that sounds right. I was just

133
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.039
thinking of you the whole time,
and I hate how much you've infected my

134
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:39.000
mind. It doesn't get better.
Yeah, I like this. How was

135
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.960
your weekend, Mikey, Yeah,
it was great. I got to hung

136
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.240
hangout with Bailey and Jenny at Kenny
Wood there in town, so it was

137
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.759
kind of fun to see like people, uh in driving distance like that.

138
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.440
So it's a good time. Kenny
One's nice because like there's some coasters there,

139
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.279
but there's also just like a lot
of like old stuff, a lot

140
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.360
of like this was the last of
it's con sort of thing, so like

141
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.159
that stuff was all really exciting.
Like it's this this right, it's called

142
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.559
the Turtle and it used to be
real popular, and now it's the only

143
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.519
one, and you just kind of
go around in a circle, up and

144
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.679
down these little hills. The big
thing there's Noah's Arc, also the last

145
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.000
of its kind. It's like a
funhouse, but the funhouse it is like

146
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.360
the size of a building, but
it's rocking the entire time, like it's

147
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.840
on the ocean, and there's there
are stairs, so like people definitely hurt

148
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.639
themselves. Oh yeah, yeah,
so that that is really exciting. When

149
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.200
you walk in, you go through
a whale and like they make it all

150
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.639
spongy, so you're like walking on
the whales mouth and then for some reason

151
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.200
you're in like a glow in the
dark section with boxes of plants and animals.

152
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.159
There's a big apple one I saw
immediately and got upset about. Yeah

153
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.480
yeah. Kenny Wood near Pittsburgh.
It was a very good time. Shout

154
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.080
outs to them into all the regional
amusement parks. This is one of the

155
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.000
few that's not owned by six Flags, which recently merged with Cedar. Oh

156
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.240
yeah, so so yeah, good
on them. How much you think it

157
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:01.320
is to buy a theme park?
Do you think we could do a regional

158
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.519
I think we should buy the one
in the Six Flags in New Orleans that's

159
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.240
been shut down. I think they
tore it down. Ship. It used

160
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.559
to be like, who aren't spooky
and you could like sneak in there and

161
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.919
stuff. It's cool, But I
think they tore it down. That David

162
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.639
bought a zoo. Right, if
you could do that, you could do

163
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:22.159
this. Let's buy an amusement park
and just not do maintenance. Yeahs,

164
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.399
opponents also required maintenance of a freak. It's just like a cathode, right,

165
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.960
that's the worst. This is just
an episode of South Park where he

166
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.960
buys an amusement park and then start
to start like paying for the upkeep because

167
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.200
it breaks down and eventually he has
to let people and it is just an

168
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:45.440
amusement park Phase one. Forgot about
that one that It's pretty funny him just

169
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:52.080
pissed off riding roller coasters and stuff
over. I had a lovely weekend.

170
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.320
Hey special, thank you to whoever
you are that helped me out with attending

171
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.240
a show on Friday. I don't
know who you are, but who whoever

172
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:01.879
you are, thank you from the
bottom of my heart. Wait what happened?

173
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.159
I don't want to talk about it? Then, why did you bring

174
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.639
it up because I wanted to say
thank you. Okay, alright, that's

175
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.159
a tough needle the thread, but
I got you. Speaking of the shows,

176
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.240
I went to the Sphere. Yeah, would you go to watch the

177
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.039
NHL draft? Why were you at
the Sphere? No? I saw the

178
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:24.240
Darren Aronowski thing. That would be
cool. That thing is fucking crazy.

179
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.120
Yes, I knew it was going
to be crazy, but it is.

180
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.159
It's like sixteen K. It's all
around you see. It's like it's almost

181
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.480
like a VR thing and that like
you know, there's parts where elephants are

182
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.960
walking over and you're like that can
work for that. It's called sphere.

183
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.840
Yeah, but yeah, so it's
like it's got that like VR effective like

184
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.440
oh, you can turn your head
and then everything is moving properly. But

185
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.960
it's you're not wearing anything in your
head. It's got actual like wind and

186
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.360
smell and stuff going on. Your
seats are That's the thing I didn't realize

187
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.639
because I saw a footage of like
you two and Grateful Dead and all that

188
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.039
stuff. But like there is smell, there is wind, and the seats

189
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.360
are like vibrating, so it is
everything. It's not like you know VR.

190
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.279
There's all that kind of what they
call windshielding or screen boarding or whatever

191
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.759
the fuck it's Windows screening whatever,
you know what I'm talking about. Yep,

192
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.320
screen door effect. Yeah, it's
just crystal fucking clear, and it's

193
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.120
it's just incredible. The thing that
sucked is that it uh, it costs

194
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.679
like billions of dollars. It was
like over two billion dollars. I wanted

195
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.279
to say. They couldn't in Las
Vegas when you have to wait outside for

196
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.240
this, they couldn't get a tarp. It was one hundred and eighteen degrees.

197
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.279
Yeah, it's really that wasn't heat
index. That wasn't heat index.

198
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.720
It was one hundred and eighteen shoot
degrees yep. Sun. We were waiting

199
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.360
in line, it was like noon. It was like high noon sun.

200
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.759
Basically, I've never felt like my
skin was like boiling the way that that's

201
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:50.759
what you look different. You boiled
away, like literally some of you is

202
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.000
melted. It is. So it
was so terrible. So everyone in line

203
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.240
is just like, there's elderly people, there are people that are wearing like

204
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.440
long sleeved things and everything. We
heard on the wall. Are you talking

205
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.080
that someone passed out? They made
Bianca throw out her water. They like,

206
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.360
yeah, like it's like it was
like straight up its dangerous shitty.

207
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.000
But uh yeah, so I got
to say that sucked. It was one

208
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.120
hundred and eighteen degrees. I was
there this weekend. Uh it was unbelievably

209
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.080
fucking not. But you've been at
Disneylands, you now understand the importance of

210
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.759
like a well air conditioned and themed
line and how they like that came after

211
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.000
the experience. This is just tensive
barriers just looping around and you just wait

212
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.879
and slowly walk forward. I literally
like took my shirt and like I didn't

213
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.279
care that it looked like an idiot. I took it up and hiked it

214
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.240
over my head. So my stomach
is just bare and everything, just to

215
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:41.080
try to protect my nug and yeah, yeah, but the thing is ridiculous.

216
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.799
I couldn't help but think of like
the I was think about like wrestling

217
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.200
shocking, and like, because you
know a lot of people, I wonder,

218
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.960
you know, like what w you
would do there or whatever, And

219
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.960
I know UFC is doing a thing, but I don't really know how you

220
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.759
would utilize that. It's like it
is like a stage surrounded by seats and

221
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.360
then the sphere kind of like comes
up right behind the state. It's not

222
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.799
surrounded by seats, I think like
movie things. Yeah, there's a up

223
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.320
front there, so they would be
playing the same direction, you know,

224
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.360
and then the sphere is just up
and over and around, so there's a

225
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.919
lot of periphery. There's a lot
of up things like that. So like,

226
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:16.960
I don't like, you could do
a lot of stuff like the entrance

227
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.799
videos and things like that, but
like I don't know what you could do

228
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.759
that wouldn't just be distracting. It
almost looked like the Thunderdome, you know,

229
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:28.679
like more bugs than ever. But
oh and I got yeah, maybe

230
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.960
they like bugs. Yeah, the
agin red happened there. And the way

231
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:33.840
the way they used it was like, you know, there would be intro

232
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.000
videos for like some of the people
that were getting drafted, and then there

233
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.120
was just like a big board of
like, uh, everyone who did get

234
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.799
drafted per team, and then who's
coming up next, And it was like

235
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.080
just a visual hood for this live
event that is normally pretty you know,

236
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.120
uh stale and like kind of just
like a vanilla event, but they found

237
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.519
ways to make it more interesting.
I bet most things that don't have like

238
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.600
bespoke ideas of like how to use
this one up? Feeling like that,

239
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.679
Yeah, I think it's going to
be a lot of like you know,

240
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.919
it's been Grateful Dead, it's been
you two. I was asking Bunk,

241
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.879
like, what band do you think
would be great here? And she said

242
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.080
Tool and I was like, oh
yeah, because they do a lot of

243
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.960
visual stuff that I think could play
like a lot of players, a lot

244
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.200
of bands where you want to get
high and go watch a bunch of trippy

245
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.840
shit, you know. Yeah.
So, but I don't know about wrestling,

246
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.840
you know, like I would be
curious what they do with it,

247
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.159
because WN loves doing get mixed with
LEDs and all sorts of stuff. But

248
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.360
I just outside of videos, you
could just have that giant cgi Roman reigns

249
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:34.080
spinning the whole time, oh,
just ejaculating. Yeah. Yeah, they

250
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.879
could do like an event there,
like they could do like Hall of Fame

251
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.440
or something else. Don't know one
of their well, I mean, fucking

252
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:48.039
Mania is there next year, so
I don't be surprised if something wasn't there.

253
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.759
I can't wait. I can't wait
for media next year. Vegas.

254
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.639
Oh I want to go now.
I think it's important that I go now

255
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:00.320
that Johnsteen is retired. Oh oh
yeah, sure, Hey, I care.

256
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.440
I tuned in and out of NXT
a lot. I used to watch

257
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:08.599
the product weekly and apologize for a
mini power BombCast, but I watched whatever

258
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.799
their premium live event was over this
weekend wave heat Wave. Holy smokes,

259
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.559
those cats can wrestle. Jesus,
I don't see it. It was fantastic,

260
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.559
like top to bottom show. I
almost want to say it was.

261
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.480
It was almost better than money in
the bank, but money in the bank.

262
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:30.480
I just love it because it's one
of those like Angel is always fun.

263
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.000
My weekend, uh was ruined,
though, gentlemen, because I I

264
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:45.359
drank something that was terrible an Orange
Americano on Instagram, and I was I

265
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.400
liked it, but I didn't like
it, you know, yeah, yeah,

266
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.640
it was what I I could tell
Greb. It was one of those

267
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.519
likes you know, yes, you
knew so for folks not in the know.

268
00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:00.200
And Americano traditionally is just espresso over
hot water, iced Americano espresso over

269
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:07.720
ice water. An Orange Americano was
orange juice and espresso over it, and

270
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.880
the yellow Russian. I would drink
two of those before this. I thought,

271
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:19.160
I thought an orange Americana was Donald
Trump. All right, folks,

272
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:25.559
thanks for joining us this week.
Sorry for the short pod. Realized the

273
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:36.559
joke suck too. He did that, I know this joke sucks. Voice

274
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.880
way better to come out. And
I thought it was gonna be great because

275
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.000
like in front of me, like
the last four parties had ordered, I'm

276
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.759
like, oh, let's go step
outside the box, let's go do this.

277
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.440
Sure, And then I take it
and it's kind of lukewarm because it

278
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.359
was just really hot out. The
ice melted, and I'm like, I

279
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.839
don't want to ask for more ice. And then I started thinking like,

280
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.000
wait a minute, should I mix
this or should I drink the orange juice

281
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.160
first? And then the espresso goes
down, and then I thought, oh,

282
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.079
let's just mix it, and boy, howdy, tummy tummy was one

283
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.200
bley the whole day. Yeah,
the acids don't mix there. I don't

284
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:18.839
think that's And it's funny because I
had friends going either that looks like that

285
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.599
looks so terrible or oh my gosh, yummy, where do I get this?

286
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.720
That sounds gross? Yeah, I
don't like it. I don't want

287
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.119
to shock anybody, but I'm kind
of anti orange juice generally. Anyways,

288
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:37.119
that's the worst. That's the worst
thing about orange juice. What other drinks

289
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.039
would be better if they were banana
juice? That's not the thing. But

290
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.920
like even if I get like a
little bit of pulp on the shelf just

291
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:52.559
next to the regular pulpy mountain dew
rhymes just filled with logan Paul hair orange

292
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.359
soda that like had a little pulp
in it somehow, and I could not

293
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.480
drink the rest of it. I
don't know. You figured to be no,

294
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.279
actually orange, like a Banta or
like an orgina. It was like,

295
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.640
what's the one that's like spurt or
something like that? Squirt? I

296
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:14.680
think you means squirt, but summer
squirt squirt the squirts like a lemon life.

297
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:21.920
Alright, well, Mike, it's
not spurt. All right, you

298
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.279
know what orange crush. I don't
know why it was called spur. You

299
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:41.000
were just thinking of spurting, Yeah, Roman rings, pulping. Okay this

300
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:48.400
wait, No, that's the wrong. Good video games didn't have pup,

301
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.000
Mike, There's no way. There's
no way I had pulp. There was

302
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.880
a particulate in there, and I
did not articulate. Alrightctor, it was

303
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:04.400
particulate. You're a logo. Man, I don't know where I put this

304
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:10.759
document. Oh there it is,
Jeff Grubb. I'm actually curious about how

305
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:15.920
you enjoy this game you put on
the dock here Star Wars Hunters. Yeah,

306
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.079
I played that Star Wars Hunters from
the Video Game Corporation founded by Don

307
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:25.680
Matrik Zinga. Right, Yeah,
it's it's okay. It's actually kind of

308
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.279
fun. I think we would have
fun playing it. It's very much a

309
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.519
mobile game in terms of I guess
it's structure, but then it's still a

310
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.920
real shooter like you are. You're
going to pick one of these Star Wars

311
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.799
characters go into arena. It's four
before you have kind of it's third person,

312
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.960
but you have overwatchabilities where it's like
here's your special and here's your ultimate

313
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.160
that you can build up over time. It's very familiar, but it is

314
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.599
a race to twenty kills team deathmatch, at least in the main mode that

315
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.079
I be playing, that I'm playing, and it's that i'd be playing then

316
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:02.519
I'd be playing, and and it
goes by very fast basically, So that's

317
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.359
what makes it feel very much like
a mobile game. And it is available

318
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:08.599
on Android iOS and then switch.
But it's free to play everywhere. I'm

319
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.160
just I haven't spent any money on
it yet, but and i'm playing as

320
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.480
luckily, like the free character I
got is the one I wanted to play

321
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:22.119
as. I'll say that the Star
Wars miss of it is missing a little

322
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.680
bit for me. Like I'm someone
who's like I'll watch some of these Star

323
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.839
Wars shows and I'll keep watching them
because I'm like, oh, there's a

324
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:30.559
droid. Oh there's a ship that
looks like it's from Star Wars. I

325
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.200
like looking at that, Like that's
the kind of freak that I am about

326
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:41.200
that stuff. And the design of
these characters is mostly like I or in

327
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.480
fiction OC like it's yeah, I
don't know, it's it's it's fine,

328
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.559
it's not bad. It's just not
hitting my particular like zone of interest all

329
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.920
that hard. So I was a
little disappointed by that, but I also

330
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.640
didn't have high expectations for it,
So I just want to go in play.

331
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.920
These fast matches have a decent time. The first couple matches are again

332
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.200
spots, so you feel like a
god, and then you start playing real

333
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:04.880
people and it's like this is still
pretty okay. I'm just supposed to be

334
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:11.119
placed anywhere in like the Star Wars
timeline or probably, But you know me,

335
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:12.599
I'm not really paying too much attention
to that, Like I'm not I'm

336
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:15.039
not concerned about that one way or
the other. And they don't put it,

337
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.480
they don't throw that stuff in your
face. There was a cut scene

338
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.039
in the beginning. I was like
half paying attention to that because the kids

339
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.400
were bothered. Yeah right, weird. Huh oh, so the kids weren't

340
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:32.319
bothering, you would have had your
full undivided developers, like, uh,

341
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.839
yeah, it is. I think
it's worth like us maybe even playing on

342
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:38.279
the site Like that's where I'm at
with it, where like this could be

343
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.759
fun just to show people what this
game is, and it's it's it feels,

344
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.279
you know, to be reductive and
kind of be that asshole. It

345
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.680
feels like a real video game.
So I'm enjoying. Does Yoda have a

346
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.519
lightsaber? Yoda does not. But
there are there are lots of little freaks.

347
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.480
There's this guy that is a little
dude that looks like he's sitting on

348
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.519
a toilet, but the toilet is
actually an old Droydica. You know those

349
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:08.240
rolling droids, the wheel ones for
Phantom Menace, the ones that like are

350
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:14.079
early on the attack, you the
bigger ones, the big guysation one Phantom

351
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.240
Menace game. Yes that sounds right. They should be, yes, and

352
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.559
they he was like he can like
roll in that, but he just sits

353
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:21.599
there and he's like controlling it with
the controller and stuff like that, and

354
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.200
he's a little freak. And there's
several other There's a there's one that is

355
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:30.559
two Jawa stacked on top of one
another called trench Coat. Yeah. It's

356
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:36.279
like Doctor Goomba Tower. Yes.
Hell, h that stuff's fun. I

357
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.640
hope that. Yeah, I mean
part of They just announced that new Disney

358
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.680
Pixel or PG. We'll talk about
that in the news. I had questions

359
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:47.119
because I only looked very briefly before
putting in the news. I had like

360
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.200
thirty people tagged me on that.
Thank you sure. So you know,

361
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.319
I guess I'm hoping Disney's putting out
some decent mobile games because I would like

362
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.680
for that to be good. You
know, they took their time on this.

363
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:59.079
This guy announced a long time ago
before it actually came out. Uh,

364
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.039
and it's here and it feels very
you know mobile. In terms of

365
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.079
the monetization, there's a battle pass
and lots of skin packs you can download

366
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:12.799
and stuff like that. The core
game is just it's pretty basic, but

367
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.079
it is the kind of thing that
I could see myself being, like,

368
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.359
I want a shooter on one of
these handheld devices that I can pick up

369
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:25.119
and play, and this one's like
trying to be exactly that nice, and

370
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.400
I think it might fit into that
slot that I that I've been looking for

371
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.799
where it's like I was like telling
myself, like, I'll just like play

372
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.519
a lot of Titan Fall two on
my Steam deck, and I haven't been

373
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.279
doing that because I feel like it
requires a little bit more investment than I'm

374
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.400
willing to give in the moment.
Or this is like the right bite size

375
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.240
form of that, but that might
mean it doesn't last a long time,

376
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.680
like it might not have the legs, But you know who am I I

377
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.200
paid zero dollars for it, so
that's not really a complain I was.

378
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:52.400
I was thinking I needed like a
quicker game that's like another pick up and

379
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.920
play versus a Fortnite, because sometimes
Fortnite I get too sweaty, and like

380
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.559
I want to play more games.
I didn't realize it was not only mobile

381
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.960
for the longest time, I thought
there was only Yeah, so yeah,

382
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.880
that's where I was playing. I
was playing on the switch. It's yeah,

383
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.960
it's but it's it's just switch and
then mobile, like it's not on

384
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:12.799
any of the other consoles. I
don't think it's on PC. So yeah,

385
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:15.400
it's it's it's a little weird.
Danny went pick up and play on

386
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.799
mobile. I'm telling you, Across
three D continues to be the most possible

387
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.119
thing to have in your pocket at
any time on planes, on any of

388
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:27.519
the best games made. It's so
good. On phone, Scout, there

389
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:33.359
has been a Scout agrees. Scout
really likes Pitcross got please Scot please uh.

390
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.839
I feel like there's a lot of
free to play games that have come

391
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.319
out over the past week and a
half. One of those games I played

392
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.480
on the website yesterday Zendless Zone zero. This is another Mijo Yo joint and

393
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:53.559
this is going to financially and emotionally
ruined me. Gentlemen, how many do

394
00:26:53.680 --> 00:27:00.279
you get? I got tons of
vengins, Tera bought the gout chip Bart

395
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:07.599
it was very bad. I got
like a fancy like shy meek made character

396
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.559
with a pizza cutter sword that was
cool. Uh, this is another gotcha

397
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:17.279
game. This is on ye Peak
anime. It's anime, but it's also

398
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.440
kind of like the setic is very
jet said radio Yeah looks so there's some

399
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.119
cool stuff. Okay, very very
cool stuff. The wrappings of this I

400
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:30.359
feel like are catered towards my tastes, and I feel targeted and assaulted by

401
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.359
Mijoyo. I need them to get
out of my brain. But I already

402
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.400
see the trajectory of my enjoyment of
this game, mirroring how I enjoyed Genshin

403
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:42.079
and then Hanky Starrail where it's a
free to play, and then I'll get

404
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.759
the I'll go through the gotcha elements, and I'll tell myself as hard as

405
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.599
I can, don't spend money on
it, because there is a comparable,

406
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:56.519
very good game and satisfying game underneath. Where Gensen was a clone of Breath

407
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:02.200
of the Wild and Mijoyo was a
turn based joint, this ISUNKI sorryal sorry

408
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.920
Zenlezone zero to quote Turbo Sean is
a wife who may cry. Where it

409
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:15.640
is an action action game. It
is a hard, hardcore into the combat

410
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.039
each of the characters. And that
being said, I only have four of

411
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.720
the characters. They do control differently, so you have a basic light attack,

412
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.880
it goes into a heavy attack.
But as you embark on your like

413
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.480
little combat missions, you have a
party of three, so you can switch

414
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:36.319
between any of your characters at any
point. But if you do like a

415
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:40.319
perfect parry, and it's projected really
really well, and I think it's done

416
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:45.559
in such a way so you can
do it fine on mobile. And this

417
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.599
I've been playing on PC primarily,
but I tried it on my phone last

418
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.279
night. One hundred percent completely fine. And this could be one of those

419
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.599
games where I'm just like laying in
bed and I time travel and like,

420
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.400
holy smokes, I should have gone
to sleep five hours ago. The story

421
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.440
in it is like very boiler plate. It feels like it's okay, you

422
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:10.920
are. You were kind of like
the guy in the chair operating sending off

423
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:18.640
like three of your agents into like
a reboot style world where they have to

424
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:23.039
embark on like different combat missions or
various other things. It's really it's done

425
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:30.240
really well. It's super flashy,
and I can see myself probably getting like

426
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:37.440
a good chunk of time and enjoying
it not paying anything. And I think

427
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.759
it's interesting that they've structured it that
way where I think Mijo Yo is kind

428
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.440
of I don't want to say,
perfected the formula of getting their hooks into

429
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:52.400
you, but I'm like mildly invested, where it's like I could probably be

430
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.799
playing other more substantial, bigger games, or I could just keep going with

431
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:02.720
like the flash in the pan of
this game, and it's like it's doing

432
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.519
enough. The other aspect of this
that I really like is that they've pretty

433
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:14.400
much eliminated roaming around and open world
and replaced that with tiles. Okay,

434
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:18.440
now I see, and like the
tile element, you're just moving your little

435
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.519
cursor, your little bang boo.
By the way, there are rabbits in

436
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:27.440
this game, not actual rabbits,
but they're called bang boos. Sorry,

437
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.079
yeah, okay, and you move
your little bang boo around if you can't

438
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:45.519
say that bang boo around like the
CRT tile screen. And there are some

439
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:48.200
light puzzle puzzle solving stuff. It's
kind of like SOACA Bond style things where

440
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.680
you're moving like a box to hear
or you get to find the most optimum

441
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.480
path to get to your objective or
get to a pickup or whatever. And

442
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:03.920
there are enemies along the way there
are various different types of currency, and

443
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:08.400
the part where I am intimidated by
the game, and for folks that may

444
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:15.200
have watched the stream yesterday, there
is a lot of currency and it isn't

445
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:21.759
easily discernible what is what at first. They do a very good job throughout,

446
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:26.000
like the tutorial phase, which is
pretty long, of kind of drip

447
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.400
feeding you all the information you need
to know. And folks, if you

448
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.680
just want to play the game,
you can skip the story one hundred percent.

449
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.240
You could bun through that crap.
You were on that for a while,

450
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.160
it seemed to when I was watched
and there was quite a lot of

451
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:41.799
like, well, we're just talking
about stuff. Like I was watching a

452
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:44.759
stream, I was like, I
still don't know what kind of game this

453
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.400
is. After quite a bit.
Yeah, I was surprised because I thought

454
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.839
like we would get to the Gosha
elements almost immediately, but then Sean tells

455
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:55.000
me like, no, that doesn't
start till like an hour, in which

456
00:31:55.039 --> 00:32:00.200
I was surprised by that. Being
sad, I thought they would do the

457
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.359
gotcha thing where they give you the
taste and you're like, oh, I

458
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:07.839
got a good role for a character. I'm gonna keep playing, hoping I

459
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.799
get more. But I was filled
with rage. I only got one character

460
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:16.039
out of ten pulls and uh and
then just a bunch of wevengines. No.

461
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:21.440
I think I did twenty polls uh
and and it was bad. It

462
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.079
was it was bad. My odds
were poor. So I kind of want

463
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:30.079
to I kind of want to spend. I haven't spent anything yet, but

464
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:34.079
I'm getting to the face. I
found out that works better than actually just

465
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.480
giving you a good pool right away, So I'll make him feel bad.

466
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:40.400
That'll make me angry. I think
I found a new good way to tell

467
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.000
if someone's old is jan Earlier,
you said the phrase it's like reboot,

468
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:54.000
and I noticed both mine and grubs
eyes widened. I made by a computer.

469
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:59.440
Damn, we can do that.
Now. We can do that now.

470
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:01.920
It's like that episode of Simpsons where
he was three D. What was

471
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:06.440
what was reboot? Actually, because
I saw some episodes of it, I

472
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.359
can never tell what it was actually
about. I think somebody was a pizza

473
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:14.920
spazoid, Prigazoid was similar, and
that it was a guy pulled into cyberspace.

474
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.200
I think I think the little boy
is wearing an outfit that looks like

475
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:21.599
a pizza It looks like the outfit
that the guy wears in Teenage mut Ninja

476
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:27.720
Turtles, who is a pizza Boyzoid
was a pizza guy, right, Yeah,

477
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:35.519
that's not what I'm always thinking of. I definitely know. No,

478
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.160
it was about like an evil CPU
and and g p U and I don't

479
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:42.000
know, maybe not GPUs but CPU
and Yeah, you had like go defeated

480
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:44.799
or something. I don't know.
Frigazoid was a computer geek and got pulled

481
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:59.279
into cyber space because he was working
on a cyber space. Jesus. Fred

482
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.079
was strong and super quick. He
drives up. It's crazy because he's there.

483
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.519
Yes, I'm gonna get super ripped
by Halloween and just be freakazoid for

484
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:13.000
Halloween. Yeah, that's good.
We go. I'm gonna do my shoot

485
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.880
hair. But that being said,
Douglas Zenles Zone zero, it's a very

486
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:21.159
it's a very good game. And
I'm sad to report that there's your wife.

487
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:34.079
Is that teacher? No, it's
wife, since the teacher wond that

488
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.159
probably is anybody who's kind of like
it's it's just like it's like saying,

489
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:38.480
mister, it's just a thing of
respect. Oh, it's like a son.

490
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:44.280
Okay, usually it's somebody older.
Okay, got it. But like

491
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.840
the characters that designs across the board, I think they have something for everyone.

492
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.360
Sean said that I should go do
demo. One of the characters,

493
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.360
dann are you okay? Yeah,
there's a giant bug on the ceiling.

494
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:00.360
But it's just like a weird thing, all right. And one of the

495
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:07.119
characters that we tried out was like
a bondage man wolf. Oh yeah,

496
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:10.360
that was like a butler. And
then I'm not into that. But there

497
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:19.559
are several folks in chat okay,
yeah, shouts to Anthracon. Oh gosh,

498
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:24.039
I don't We're not. Maybe we
will talk about that eventually real quick.

499
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:27.920
Does anyone like part of me with
this like zenlessone zero and all the

500
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.360
mijo yo stuff, is like they're
just trying to use wife fus against me.

501
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:34.800
They're trying to get me interested with
the life fu and it's like weaponized

502
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:37.480
weaponized wife wus part of me like
bristles against that. But I think I

503
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:39.880
need to just get over it.
Who cares? These games are probably good.

504
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:43.280
I should just play them. They
are good. That's the thing.

505
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.559
Like hon Kai Star Rail was a
very good RPG. I think it could

506
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:52.440
have done without the running around the
world and like the space trained ship,

507
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:58.360
but zenless Zone zero being so contained
with the missions and everything. It's right

508
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:01.000
up my alley. The only like
type of exploration you have is kind of,

509
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.960
like Sean said, this best a
splatoon like hub world where you just

510
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:09.480
got to go to like different shops
and everything and chat to different NPCs.

511
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.360
The character designs across the board.
I can't express that enough. But it's

512
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:21.159
just so good moisturized that should play
more Splotoon, so moisturized, and I

513
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:25.440
just want I'm saving up all my
currency because maybe on a Delight club this

514
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:31.000
week tomorrow or upf will just spin
a bunch for like maybe like five ten

515
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:34.840
minutes to see if I get.
I don't even know what I want.

516
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:39.599
But Sean did show me. There's
this character a maid, right that we've

517
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:45.440
seen the anime trope around, right, pretty made characters. Yeah, I've

518
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.639
seen I've seen pretty maids on the
internet. Yeah, but this one's a

519
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:53.360
shark. There's all sorts of stuff
out there, isn't there. Yeah,

520
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:58.639
there's all sorts of stuff. People
have all kinds of jobs, and people

521
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:01.039
are into all sorts of stuff.
They're gonna be four with this character.

522
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.320
I think what you think four is
dan. Well, one of my good

523
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.000
friends is named Brian Vohr, so
I have learned through him when all right,

524
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:13.280
because he found out many years ago, like, oh my name is

525
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:17.480
also this thing? Oh boy?
Yeah, there's it's a it's a it's

526
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:22.000
a bunch of animals in this game
of varying degrees. We saw the shark

527
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.320
made lady like whipper tail around,
and I think it activated something in all

528
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:29.400
of that. Okay, I'm gonna
be seeing you at Anthrocon next year,

529
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:32.119
and I would be there, Mike, you will go together. No,

530
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:36.360
please not. I'll buy I'll buy
you. I'll buy you ears and a

531
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:39.840
tail. Yeah, Mike bought me
ears. I did get your ears.

532
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.760
Yeah, show everybody the ears right
in the meat. I wonder if this

533
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.679
is it? Can they support more
than three games? Or are they gonna

534
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:53.000
coast on these for a while?
There it is, there's the birthday boy

535
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:57.320
Brody listeners. It's a Mickey Mouse
ears that say happy birthday. This was

536
00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.239
a late birthday gift slash late suit. Been here for Disneyland because I wanted

537
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:01.960
to buy him ears. But he
had to leave, really and I didn't

538
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:07.840
get a chance and also get well. So I really really bundled all of

539
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:13.000
these things to get the way to
do it. Birthday. Yes, thank

540
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:15.440
you, Mike. You're welcome real
quick, jan because I saw the shirt

541
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.840
and I didn't put on the list. I did play a lot more super

542
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:25.000
monkey Ball Banana Rumble Banana. I
was trying to set that up until Mike

543
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:30.159
Minatti just had to brag about how
generous he was. I know it's my

544
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:35.920
fault. There's animals in this game. There are a bunch of animals.

545
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:40.679
Speaking about animals monkey Ball, I'm
I like it. I know there's like

546
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:44.559
fans of it that will like have
complaints or whatever. I don't. I'm

547
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:46.519
I'm having a good time with that. I started doing the time trial mode

548
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:51.239
because we saw that that had a
leaderboard and that was fun to like try

549
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.159
to get the perfect run. That
has all like at least a decent run

550
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.880
on every course, and some of
them are like, Okay, I messed

551
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:00.679
that up, but if I do
this shortcut, it will still faster than

552
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:01.920
if I went the long way.
So I'm gonna try a couple more times,

553
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:05.639
and it's I really got into it. I do like the time attack

554
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.280
thing. I did it for the
first world. The thing that I don't

555
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.760
like about Time Attack though, is
because it is just tied to the entire

556
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:15.320
world that It's like, you know, if you know the last one you

557
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:16.519
do on World one is that one
where you do the skip that I did

558
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:20.480
at Time Games Fest, Remember,
and like if you miss that, it

559
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.760
doesn't matter if you had your best
runs ever on one through nine, you

560
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.000
screw up the last one, like
I want to end, it makes it

561
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:29.119
more impressive, right, The game
would be better if it had time leaderboards

562
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.039
for every course exactly exactly, like
I do think this is a great monkey

563
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:34.559
Ball. This is a very classic
monkey Ball and like you know, going

564
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.960
from point A to point B,
no jump button. It's got the spin

565
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.119
dash thing, but honestly, I
don't think that inherently changes the game or

566
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:43.000
what it is or anything like that. The levels are good, It's got

567
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.679
the goofy as story stuff in between. Like the shop element is like I

568
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:49.639
don't remember it ever being that fleshed
out, or you're buying different things and

569
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.599
saving different outfit presets and things like
that. It's it's I don't remember if

570
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.800
other ones had different stats for the
monkeys. I remember in the old ones,

571
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.519
I would play as Baby, the
same not on this one. On

572
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:02.719
the old one, the previous ones, yeah, and this one, they're

573
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.559
all They do have stats. Yes, I remember. I used to just

574
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:07.920
pick Baby in the old ones because
since it took up the least amount of

575
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:12.000
space and the ball you could see
through and you could see the skinny like

576
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:15.000
you know, things better right.
This game gets hard near the end,

577
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.119
like I'm like halfway through the last
world, and like there are some where

578
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:21.119
I'm just like, man, I've
died forty fifty times on this. I

579
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:23.000
think I only have a few levels
left. But they've been great courses.

580
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:27.039
It's a great monkey Ball. I
haven't really messed around with the multiplayer yet.

581
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:29.960
I've been, you know obviously like
out and stuff, and I want

582
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:31.440
to do I want to do a
monkey Ball stream with you guys and do

583
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:36.320
some some the multiplayer party modes and
stuff like that. But no, this

584
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:38.239
is this is a straight up good
monkey ball. You know, you guys

585
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:42.480
watching the cut scenes, uh yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a legendary

586
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:53.199
banana and it's surrounded by chaos emeralds. I know, why do they title

587
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:59.360
these games so oddly, like why
not just add a number? It's bad.

588
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.239
Yeah, but even like you know, like I'm all for you,

589
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:04.800
I just do numbers. That's great. But even here, like you just

590
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:09.760
released one called Banana Mania Mania the
Blitches. We I think Banana Mania was

591
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:13.920
the switch like remake. I think
of the original. We got to use

592
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.000
another word, I get it.
Bananas is a big two three three.

593
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.280
You did one and two, just
call this three. It's it's very much

594
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:21.119
in line with those first two.
Same way. I want them to do

595
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:23.559
a fucking super Mario Brothers four and
just make it like like an Ne s

596
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:31.079
or R file because I really wanted
to Sonk the Hedgehog back in the day.

597
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:36.039
Yeah, they protect the business.
They protect the business. Brother.

598
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:38.920
I hope this game gets updates with
some of these things that we're talking about.

599
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:43.280
A leaderboard for every course would be
great. Name change, Yes,

600
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:47.920
I don't like lift, I repeat
yeah, yes, could be called uh

601
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:53.360
what was the original edge of tomorrow? There we go tomorrow. The other

602
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:55.920
thing I think I would wish for
is that like the challenge mode that was

603
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.639
in previous games, where it's like
you have a certain number of lives to

604
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:04.320
get the all these stages that I
enjoyed that as well, or a certain

605
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.039
amount of time maybe to get through
everything. But yeah, overall, I

606
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:09.239
just like the way it feels.
I like monkey Ball. It's a game

607
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:12.960
ass video game, and that's what
I'm in the mood for. I was.

608
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.880
I tweeted like games should be as
fun as flying a kite, because

609
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:17.199
I was flying a kind of It's
like this is nice though, winds just

610
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:20.519
pulling against me and I got to
like just do a little bit to keep

611
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:22.199
it up in the air. Back, Yeah, some feedback, like just

612
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.840
pull on me in some way,
and monkey Ball definitely does that. So

613
00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:29.119
yeah, I was enjoying myself.
Yeah. We checked out some of the

614
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:36.199
multiplayer modes last upf on Wednesday.
They're all pretty good. There's a specifically

615
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:39.960
a robot one that I dig a
lot where you the monkeys are weaponized and

616
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:45.480
they're they're killing robots. Oh that's
the next Jurassic World movie is going to

617
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.679
be about monkeys. Yeah, Oh
cool, about fucking bugs instead of dinosaurs.

618
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.000
A right, I would rather.
I would rather than put a bunch

619
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:57.559
of monkeys and balls than deal with
the bugs again. And sure they have

620
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:01.760
those balls already. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is just person monkey

621
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:08.079
ball person. It is food mania. I don't know, Like, what's

622
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:14.239
that? Would I still have to
deal with mania? Would I still have

623
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:16.199
to deal with Jimmy Fallon talking to
me and the ball though? No,

624
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:19.840
No, you can get a DLC
sonic instead. Yeah, but you do

625
00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:23.000
have to watch a woman get torn
apart by a pterodact. That was upset

626
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:27.400
you a lot? Huh. That's
every time we bring up that movie that

627
00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:31.519
they remember about that movie. Yeah, it upsets me even more upset.

628
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:36.599
I think I have like a ethical
problem with it, like something should have

629
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:43.920
been done. Maybe somebody should go
to trial to trial whatever his name was,

630
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:46.519
the guy who was going to do
episode nine until his script sucks is

631
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:51.239
when movie bombed. I think I
just also think we're like his episode nine

632
00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:53.360
script was going to be about how
like, actually we do need to have

633
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:57.960
some dark site. Also, it
was gonna be like what about both sides?

634
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.760
Guys. Yeah, there's like a
lie where Yoda, like Yoda's ghost

635
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.920
state there, like showing us that
like we have to have equal parts lighted

636
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:07.880
dark. Hang On, I don't
know if it's true. This is Chad,

637
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.519
so it has to be true.
It says Apparently the actress asked for

638
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:15.639
her character to get fucked up in
the movie. So who cares? What

639
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:20.239
why would that matter if you are
the person for draining that and you're like,

640
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.559
hey, I just fuck me up
in some hilarious way, like that's

641
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.280
that's fun. Well, why do
I have to defer to her judgment?

642
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:34.400
The first to a woman's judgment.
Look, also, I don't believe it.

643
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.480
Do you know how expensive that scene
was. It has probably more special

644
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.280
effects things happening than anything else.
It was like, well, they did

645
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:45.519
it because she asked you on the
set that day. No, absolutely,

646
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:53.960
they think for a moment, said
Chat said, it's true. I mean

647
00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:59.800
that seems like a very very hard
task to, you know, clean everything

648
00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:02.719
up for the movie, just like
these boys have been cleaning everything up in

649
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.199
Shadow of the Ar Tree. Oh
yeah. So the day I was like

650
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:12.559
getting ready to go, uh,
Mike had one of his people in chats

651
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:14.800
to have him text me to say
he beat Shadow of the Ar Tree.

652
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:15.880
I'm like, oh, May so
far ahead of me. And then I'm

653
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.320
like the next thing I did.
I'm like, oh, I'm at the

654
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:21.559
last boss too. Yeah, I
didn't. I didn't beat that thing.

655
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:22.920
I've been hearing about her that thing
or that thing. So I started going

656
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.599
out in the world again. I
found some more Scimity Tree fragments and that

657
00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:30.519
led me to you know, Bail
the Dread and a bunch of other things,

658
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:32.400
and I've been cleaning that stuff up
and it's it's just been fun.

659
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:36.079
It continues to be really solid.
I like these boss fights. Bail the

660
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:43.800
Dread was visually incredible. Nothing's been
super challenging the way that, uh,

661
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:49.440
what's the Sandry the fire guy,
the fire bosser Mesmer, Thank you Mesmer

662
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:51.880
was a tough one for me.
Everything else has been sort of like three

663
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:54.679
to five tries. I went.
I went in a weird order, I

664
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:59.760
think because I the Centipede Lady I
had beat before i'd even like entered Mesmer's

665
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.679
cat or whatever. And so like
I was watching this is like while I

666
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:05.719
was out basically like first recovering from
surgery, I spending a lot of time

667
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.960
just watching like Manati and Kayla stream
urg Tree and like I just wasn't even

668
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:13.159
in a place to really play it. And I saw them getting to Mesmer,

669
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:15.360
and I would like text Kayla,
like I'm having trouble with Centipede Lady.

670
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:17.119
And she's like, what are you
talking about, centipede lady. So

671
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:20.679
like I think I went into a
really weird order and I got back.

672
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:22.599
Sure, yeah, I get too, yeah a little bit. Yeah.

673
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:24.360
So yeah, I got to like
the gate of the Last Boss, and

674
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:27.599
I went back and I kind of
mopped up, like I looked up all

675
00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:30.599
the different like, oh, here's
this puw dress and whatever. Here's the

676
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:34.360
whole like tinter lands area and the
hole, the bail mountain and all that

677
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.000
stuff. So I just kind of
like spent a lot of time going around

678
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:39.159
cleaning up that whole map, beating
all the bosses I heard about, and

679
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:42.199
now I'm at the last Boss.
I haven't tried it in a few days,

680
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.719
but like it's fucking hard, you
know, and I trammar so I

681
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.079
just couldn't it. It's h It's
that second phase where you just get no

682
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:54.639
breathing room. I I think I've
like decided I am going to like rework

683
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:58.159
my build a little bit to be
a little bit more defensive. That turns

684
00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:00.440
out to that I think that's the
meta for this last bo. You just

685
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:02.599
got to be able to take hits. I've been like putting all the heaviest

686
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:06.800
shit on me, like not worrying
about bat rolling at all, summoning as

687
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.519
many people as possible, like trying
to summon specifically two people named like you

688
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.920
know, let me solo him or
whatever. It's like I'll have two of

689
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:15.480
you and I'll be a little turtle
and I'm just gonna stay away from the

690
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:17.800
action. I still can't survive that
shit. Yeah, I it took me

691
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:22.159
forty three tries with the you know, after I actually never got mimic here,

692
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.079
and this was fine. It was
like, Okay, I guess I

693
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:29.159
should go get mimicked here a racist. So I finally got in level at

694
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:30.719
mim teer and it did help.
But still it took a lot. And

695
00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:34.480
yeah, people say, like my
bill, because I'm very tanky, I

696
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.840
have like a you know, a
great shield and a great sword or colossal

697
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:40.239
sword. You know. Even then, it's just like I got to kind

698
00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:44.159
of like learn these patterns a bit
and learn like what hits maybe I can

699
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:46.599
take or shield. And also you
know, there's always like a little bit

700
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:51.119
of luck like Okay, maybe he's
not gonna do this one thing as much.

701
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:52.920
That kind of always be but like
you know, like by the end,

702
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.079
it really I didn't feel like I
lucked out. I feel like,

703
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:59.679
yeah, I just did kind of
eventually learn this enough. I was at

704
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.840
skip Tree level sixteen. That's pretty
supposed to be, is what people say,

705
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:06.559
try to get the sixteen for that
final boss. Yeah, and that

706
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:09.159
felt right. See, I thought
it was an appropriate challenge for basically the

707
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:12.920
last thing I'm ever going to do
an Elton Ring, Right, I'm glad.

708
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:15.920
It was difficult and it did take
a lot of effort, and like

709
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:17.400
you know, I like, more
so than anythinges in the game, when

710
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:21.599
I did beat it, I did
really get that hyped up feeling like oh

711
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.880
yeah, Like it's stupid that I'm
like impressed with myself right now for doing

712
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:30.760
something like I'm pretty cool. Actually
I beat this bar king pulls it off

713
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:32.079
better than and he. Like when
you get that, you see that animation

714
00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:35.079
and the life bar goes away and
you're like, oh, I did it,

715
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:38.800
like yeah, or the two guys
I summoned. Yeah, it's just

716
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:43.079
a huge reminder of just how fucking
good Eldon Ring was. Like I know,

717
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:44.679
we know it and we always talk
about it. It's like one of

718
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:46.239
the best games of all time,
if not number one, And like just

719
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:50.079
playing it again and playing new content
in it. It's just like, oh

720
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:52.199
right, fuck, this is like, yeah, I don't this is the

721
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.840
bar this is I don't ever play
DLC, but it's just completely sucks me

722
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:59.400
in immediately, like without missing a
beat. Really, I mean it was

723
00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:00.880
obviously a beat. People saw that
first stream where I was like playing a

724
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.320
new character that I didn't play before
because I had to download a new save

725
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:06.960
and kind of getting my sea legs
back underneath me. Yeah, how la

726
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:08.639
are you that? What? People? When people actually watched you play this

727
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:12.000
game, it was you struggling against
like that one. Oh. It was

728
00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:14.639
fantastic because it's like, of course, as soon as that's done, I'm

729
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:15.559
like, oh you know what,
oh this and that. Of course I

730
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:17.519
forge was gritting to do this,
and now it's like, oh, I'm

731
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.199
beating these bosses like the City Peak
Lady. I beat my first try Dan,

732
00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.480
and then Mesmer took me forty tries
or something like that. Wow this

733
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:27.920
uh, and then Bail probably took
me like fifteen twenty. You didn't have

734
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.599
the guy helping you with Bail because
you killed him, and that's like,

735
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:31.679
yeah, I I helped me help
me with Bail. That's right, I

736
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:36.159
did kill him. Yes, that
was so, that was the mountain.

737
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:40.760
Yeah, he was whining. He
was oh I uh oh my god,

738
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:45.559
something like shoot people. Oh yeah, yeah I always do that. Yeah,

739
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:49.440
I will go into every boss fight
and nielden ring. I'll look at

740
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:51.119
it once and be like, oh, yes, I see what this is

741
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:52.960
doing. It'll kill me, and
I will just summon two people every single

742
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:57.840
time every boss. Yeah, that's
the option, that's right, there,

743
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:00.559
do it. Yes, I was
trying to how uh so Mike and Andy

744
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:05.280
beat that final Bus for a bit
there. Actually that was kind of fun.

745
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:07.360
Yeah, we didn't didn't quite.
We didn't trying for a long time.

746
00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:10.320
Like there. It was like,
uh yeah there. Mike was like

747
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.840
getting you know, like the magic
build. Andy was more a strength build,

748
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:16.519
but not like as defensive as me. I think maybe decks I don't

749
00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:19.480
know, but yeah, they were
like they did it for a while.

750
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:21.840
They did it for like another like
hour, even after I left. And

751
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:22.960
then when they were done and he's
like, I'm gonna do it by mimic

752
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.239
Tier just one time for fuzies and
then killed it. Yeah, Mikes,

753
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:29.880
like, I love you, but
I'm so bad, like a great squid

754
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:35.840
shut down his stream. You were
you were their night in Shining Armor,

755
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:40.159
just like Dan has been our Hollow
Night. Oh I beat that. We

756
00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:44.599
know it's a new person, not
really Dan Riker. Yeah, get the

757
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:46.320
get you get get the true ending. No, some work on that now.

758
00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:50.119
I got the thing where it gives
you the percentage the completion thing,

759
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:52.239
and I'm at like seventy eight percent, and so I'm kind of trying to

760
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:53.280
figure out, Like I know,
there's just a bunch of charms everywhere.

761
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:59.639
I did one of the like uh
the uh the Challenge arena or whatever thing.

762
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:02.880
So yeah, the last one in
there is wild Okay. Yeah,

763
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:05.760
so I'm working on that. Did
a lot of that on the flight,

764
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:07.280
a lot of that while I was
recovering. Actually, that was kind of

765
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:10.519
great like to have. While I
was recovering. I had Elden Ring and

766
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:14.239
I had a Hollow Night, and
it's just like I'm just gonna they're both

767
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:15.559
playing on the steam deck very well. So I'm just laying in bed playing

768
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:20.920
these all fucking day. Yeah,
I can't believe no one told me about

769
00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:24.400
Hollow Night. It is. I
love metroid Vania's I love this is such

770
00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:28.559
a like you can see the influence
that sat on the genre moving forward,

771
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:30.880
you know, even things like Prince
of Persia and things like that. There.

772
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:35.039
I was frustrated initially, I think, with things like oh, there's

773
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:37.519
so much backtracking or I don't know
where to go, But then by the

774
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:38.679
end I just kind of realized,
like, well, I kind of like

775
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:40.960
this because I feel like I'm actually
exploring this world and getting to know it

776
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:44.880
instead of just becoming the master of
the world. That's that is metro Vanya.

777
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:46.000
Y. Yeah, I'm not just
following like a blinking thing. Okay

778
00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:49.159
the map says go over here,
I'm going over there. Like there are

779
00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:50.960
plenty of times where I'm like I
don't know where the fuck to go,

780
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:52.440
And then it's like I am kind
of looking over the map and looking at

781
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:54.400
the markers I've placed. I'm like, okay, I wonder if I can

782
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:57.599
get over here now. And then
you figure out something you didn't have before.

783
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:00.480
The charm load out stuff works really
well, and then the sub you

784
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:05.400
unlock later on. Like I was
fifteen hours in and I got the Monarch

785
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:07.760
Wings and I read the description and
I was like, wait, is this

786
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:10.639
a fucking double jump? Like I
played fifteen hours of the game a Metroidvania

787
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:15.840
and was surprised to get a double
jump and that then immediately thinking of all

788
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:20.960
the ways that just blows the map
wide open. Just incredible. And then

789
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.320
you get like the Dreamgate thing where
you can pass travel and that really pixes

790
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:27.159
a lot of the issues with like
it as one of the best like dashes

791
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.000
in a game. Yeah, is
great. You get the Shade Cloak thing

792
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:32.920
where you can go through hits and
stuff like that. It is just a

793
00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:37.199
top tier one of the best Metroid
venias of all time. And I somebody

794
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:40.679
should have told me about it,
you know, like the size of it,

795
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:44.400
because it's definitely the biggest Petroid venue
I ever played. It's a huge

796
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:47.159
map. It is it is long, and I think that like initially can

797
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:52.639
be a little scary, but it
really is amazing how well developed that world

798
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:55.760
is and how distinct all the different
pieces of it are. And you know,

799
00:52:55.960 --> 00:52:59.239
yeah, there are a lot of
dead ends you're going to come across

800
00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.679
early on, but it really is
satisfying to just go back to these places

801
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:07.360
and keep discovering new things. And
there are so many items that you are

802
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:09.320
gonna want, like those badges and
just you know, again, you might

803
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:14.119
like discover this upgrade even really laying
the game, or just this boss that

804
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:16.960
is optional but a ton of fun. Yeah, it's it's really impressive.

805
00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:21.960
I never checked out Hollow Night.
Actually should I? You think? Well,

806
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:23.320
I mean, Dan, you checked
it out now, But I was

807
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:29.079
gonna ask should I wait for Spoon
Heaven to come out? But yeah,

808
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:31.360
I just play this. You should
play this, Jeff should do? I

809
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:36.840
know I wouldn't. I started it
and I just fell off and it was

810
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:40.400
not like it was not like your
thing where you're like, oh this looks

811
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:43.039
bad, I don't like this.
I was just like, no, I

812
00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:45.440
think I probably will like this.
I just I didn't get momentum with Jeff,

813
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:47.920
so I'll go back. I realized
why I didn't why I thought it

814
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:51.239
looked like a flash game. I
realized it while I was playing it,

815
00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:54.760
because remember that Alien Hominid game.
Yeah, for PS two and GameCube.

816
00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:58.719
It kind of looks like that was
just the really thick lines and stuff.

817
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:01.840
An alien Hominid I think came a
flash game right, and back then thinking

818
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:05.760
like I was weird playing like a
flash game on my PS two, and

819
00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:07.719
so as soon as I started Hollid
Night I was like, this looks like

820
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:09.159
a flash games like now it kind
of reminded me of Alien Hominid. That's

821
00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:13.159
it. That was a very reductive
way. And it is also a very

822
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:16.079
good game. Oh yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, I think it's

823
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:21.320
it's worth playing now. It's it's
it's really tremendous. And they were on

824
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:23.599
Switch and on on Steam, Dick, So I played the whole thing in

825
00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:25.880
my Steam deck. I've also tried
it on Switch and it plays well there,

826
00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:29.480
but like the combat is so I
played on Switch. Combat is so

827
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:31.119
fucking snappy, like these boss fights
where you can start like kind of doing

828
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:34.920
the like ducktails pogo thing on like
a boss's head and stuff, and the

829
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:37.239
way it just sends you up,
like every hit seems like it's got a

830
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:42.199
real like I don't know, like
Metroidvanias frequently have just kind of combat is

831
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:45.400
not super impactful a lot of the
time, and just when I do feel

832
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:46.760
it's almost it feels more like a
soul's game where every time you get a

833
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:50.639
hit you're like yes, yes,
like you feel it. There's some feedback

834
00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:52.239
to it. There's a lot of
souls Dean obviously when you die, it

835
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:55.280
to like go back and like get
your currency, so like that's a big

836
00:54:55.320 --> 00:54:59.440
part of it. Yeah, Like
the bosses do have a little bit of

837
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:02.159
that kind of souls, like Field
Well, in the healing it takes it,

838
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.320
there's an animation to it, so
it's kind of like waiting for the

839
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:07.119
flask and waiting for your opportunity to
heal. It's not just like a press

840
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:10.079
a button in your heeled. There's
definitely a lot of soul stuff going on

841
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:14.119
there. But it's really really great. No, I didn't put on our

842
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:16.079
list of it's funny because I finally
played through Bloodstained Ritual of the Night and

843
00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:20.159
beat that, and like I had
a similar thing where I started that game

844
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:22.400
and was just kind of not into
it. I was like, I think

845
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:25.679
this, you were thrown off by
all the talking in that game that didn't

846
00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:30.000
really seem like it was leading to
much. But actually it's whatever, go

847
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:32.280
ahead. Well no, exactly,
Like it's pretty talking in the beginning,

848
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:37.960
and even like the ds Ega Caslovnia
games were kind of like that, why

849
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:40.800
is there this much lore? I
don't really care? You know, right?

850
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:45.559
You actually, but you can't skip
it in Bloodstain too much because there's

851
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:47.320
like important stuff about what you're supposed
to be doing in some of those text

852
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:50.719
things. That's that's the thing that
frustrated me about the game a little bit.

853
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:53.280
It slowed down after that act.
It wasn't that big a deal.

854
00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:55.840
And then I was just like,
oh, it's great to just have another

855
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:59.559
one of these for the first time
in forever. And then I got really

856
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:01.519
into it and play through the whole
thing in a week, so had a

857
00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:05.000
good time. You mentioned the old
Caslvanias, and it reminds me. We

858
00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:07.519
were in Vegas this weekend, me
and Biancole were and I was thinking,

859
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:10.440
like, you know, I used
to gamble a little more. I have

860
00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:13.639
not really, but I was like, hey, I'm in Vegas, might

861
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:15.880
as well throw a few hundred dollar
on a crap stable to see how goes

862
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:19.840
or whatever. And I was planning
on doing that walking around thinking about it,

863
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:23.119
and uh, I realized, like, man, gamble and I could

864
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:25.440
lose it and be fine, you
know, but like, I could also

865
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:30.639
just take that few hundred dollars and
just buy a complete inbox Aria of Sorrow

866
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:35.199
and definitely have that. And as
I was saying that out loud to Bunk,

867
00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:37.960
we walked by and there's must be
a newer casino. I've ever seen

868
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:42.320
it before. It's literally Aria.
Aria is the name, so like I'm

869
00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:44.679
talking about it. We like Round
in the Corner, and so I like

870
00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:46.199
Aria Resorting Casino. And I was
like, all right, fuck it,

871
00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:50.400
I'm just buying Ario Sorrow right now
instead of gambling. You know, that's

872
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:53.280
that's the universe return on investments,
that's exact. Yeah, yeah, that's

873
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:59.480
fine. I literally just bought a
complete in box order of Acclecia is great.

874
00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:00.840
Yeah, I got all the past
ones I need great. I need

875
00:57:00.840 --> 00:57:04.239
the GBA ones. Now I need
to circle the Moon and Portrait of Ruin.

876
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:07.400
Then I'll have all the portable castmans. I can't hang out with y'all

877
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.079
too much otherwise I'm going to start
diving into this. I was already looking

878
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:14.599
at just funny CRTs. You're not
old enough to want to buy the really

879
00:57:14.639 --> 00:57:17.480
expensive stuff, so man, all
your stuff will be affortable. The house

880
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:22.519
that we were staying at did have
a gigantic CRT, Like all week I'm

881
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:25.119
like, I was like can I
can? I I was like I might

882
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:28.239
ask if I could just have this, And before I left, I'm like,

883
00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:30.440
if you ever go want to get
rid of it. Just get I'll

884
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:32.320
come up. I'll literally drive up
and get it because it was so awesome

885
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:36.119
trip, let's go. It was
it was too big, Like take back

886
00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:37.360
on this trip van was two full. I wouldn't have been able to fit

887
00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:39.639
in there, and it's probably like
we'dn't even try lifting up. I bet

888
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:44.159
that thing is like two hundred and
twenty five pounds. It was enormous.

889
00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:47.239
It was. It had to be
like like near thirty inches for CRT,

890
00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:50.920
which is massive. Yes, yeah, I've got a nineteen inch and that

891
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:53.559
thing is the beast. Yeah it
was. It was enormous, But I'm

892
00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:57.920
like, man, I I kind
of want it real bad. So almost

893
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:00.440
took that home. You know,
would be really good to play on a

894
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:07.000
cr T TV. Would be the
original Final Fantasy six, But Mike Benatti,

895
00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:09.760
you've been playing Final Fantasy six Pixel
Remaster. Now the hell the original.

896
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:13.199
I don't like playing that S and
E S version of it anymore.

897
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:15.719
The Woozley translation is like written at
a first first grade level. When it's

898
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:20.639
kind of it, I can't vibe
with it as much. I was.

899
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:23.199
The GBA was my go to for
a long time. I thought fom Physy

900
00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:29.559
sixth Advance was very good despite some
of the compromises there with audio and visuals.

901
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.480
But now playing the Pixury Master for
the first time when all of those

902
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:36.760
came out on Switch like a year
ago, I kind of went through one

903
00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:39.159
through five immediately, and then when
I got to six, I was like,

904
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:42.440
okay, this is like the best
one. It's my favorite one of

905
00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:45.199
these. And there was a lot
of newer RPGs I had to play first.

906
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:47.519
I was like, I'm gonna say
this for a while, and after

907
00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:51.440
I'd be bud stained, I was
like, okay, now's the time.

908
00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:53.400
Actually I went to play Tarock too
first because it was on sale. I

909
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:57.239
almost played Tarrock two. I was
like, look at it last night.

910
00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:02.559
Tarrok two's fun. It's levels are
insane. They are some of the biggest

911
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:07.960
maps ever made for a shooter like
this, and it's like it kind of

912
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:10.000
has like objectives, so it's not
just we'll get to the end. It's

913
00:59:10.039 --> 00:59:15.119
like, well you gotta like find
the six like children trapped in cages first

914
00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:20.000
and like luck with that. The
rebuster you could like put some like exclamation

915
00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:22.159
marks on where like switches and stuff
are even still, I was like,

916
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:25.960
on one level, it tear up
to you for four hours, like I

917
00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:31.320
just I just can't. You said, you you're playing Bloodstained. Did you

918
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:35.920
do the thing where you can just
absolutely break the character and like you make

919
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.159
all those meals if you fill out
the entire cookbook and then you're just the

920
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:42.679
most broken character of all time.
And like any video game, I could

921
00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:45.920
a lot of meals. I don't
know if I cooked all you can make

922
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:50.280
it where you're like flying and invulnerable
and you're moving so fucking fast, you

923
00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:52.480
like run across the entire map and
seconds. It is like it lets you

924
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:57.480
break the game in awesome ways.
That's fun. Oh, it's so much

925
00:59:57.519 --> 00:59:59.559
fun, like blood saying, I
really think it's one of my favorite Mentrod

926
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:01.639
meanings. It was fun, I
enjoyed. I hope that sounds like they're

927
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:05.400
gonna probab announce something new soon.
Yeah, I hope so for a sequel.

928
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:07.880
But yeah, the pick some Master
Fmplay six has been great and it's

929
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:13.079
I haven't played it since I played
Advance. I think I played that back

930
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:15.119
when I was in college, honestly, so it's been a bit. I

931
01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:17.280
kind of forgot just how fast pay
six it is because in my mind,

932
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:21.760
this is like the really story focused
one, so it probably has a long

933
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:25.159
startup, like you know most games
do these days, start and then it

934
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:29.280
just goes. It just goes.
Like I'm only three hours in and I've

935
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:34.440
already done so many of like big
highlight moments in my mind, like you

936
01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:37.079
know, all the stuff in narsh
in the beginning and the Figureo Castle going

937
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.800
to the sand. I'm already at
the Phantom train, and before that was

938
01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:45.199
was Kafka poisoning Doma. I don't
think it's gonna be that much longer,

939
01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:47.480
So I'm just at the opera scene, and like the whole time, there's

940
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:52.920
still like dungeons and boss fights and
all these other interesting things happening, and

941
01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:58.039
constantly getting new party members and all
these new songs and everything. So it

942
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:00.840
is just like, oh yeah,
this is absolutely a piece. This is

943
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:04.199
just one of the best of all
time, and just playing this again now

944
01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:08.079
makes me super happy. Mike,
is there a Is there a song in

945
01:01:08.360 --> 01:01:13.199
Final Fantasy six that you would say
is like an iconic moment in video game

946
01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:15.519
history? Yeah? Yeah, I
mean there's the opera. The opera is

947
01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:19.559
the big okay with lyrics that show
up on screen. Yeah, yeah,

948
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:23.440
Okay. I remember arguing with Ben
Hanson about this because when we had Gilbert

949
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:27.960
Godfried voice a bunch of like iconic
video game things, we had him do

950
01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:30.360
like Mario jumping around the castle,
you know, we had him doing a

951
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:32.559
liquid snake monologue, had him just
doing it, you know, the Dracula

952
01:01:32.599 --> 01:01:37.639
from Castlevania, Miserable, Pile of
Secrets, and then Hanson had him read

953
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.079
some song from Final Fantasy six,
And my argument was like, hey,

954
01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:44.159
I don't know what this is.
B It's text, it's not a voice

955
01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:46.559
he's doing. So if you look
up Gilbert Godfried video games on YouTube now,

956
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:50.079
it's like that is one of them. Is Gilbert Godfreed just reading the

957
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:55.880
song lyrics for a Final Fantasy thing? Yeah, because that would be incredible

958
01:01:55.960 --> 01:02:00.639
actually going from one Pixel game to
another Pixel game. I've continued to play

959
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:05.480
through until then. And I think
last week I said I jumped to this

960
01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:09.239
because I wanted something that wouldn't emotionally
devastate me, and I am a stupid

961
01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:15.000
idiot because this has continued to emotionally
devastate me. Talked about this a lot

962
01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:20.519
last week, just updates from this
is it's really nice to I think it's

963
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:25.400
really well written to be able to
feel like I'm being transported, uh into

964
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:30.920
a setting that mildly familiar with because
it takes place in the Philippines. Mike

965
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:34.840
broke the news to me that Filipinos
are from the Philippines last week. Oh

966
01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:37.840
wow, it turns out, Yeah, man of the world, our own

967
01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:52.320
pitbull Dolla, Nike sam O say
what Dolla Dola? Whoa. I've already

968
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:57.079
thought I got trouble last week when
I did do that, Philip. Maybe

969
01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:00.000
I shouldn't have said that. I'm
saying a word. I don't know.

970
01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:05.719
You're bad at Wow, you can't
do this. We're not mad at you,

971
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:08.599
We're we're like intimidated by you.
You saying dollars. I am a

972
01:03:08.679 --> 01:03:14.719
very intimidating person. But yeah,
until then, it's it's it's very well

973
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:19.840
written. I I've I want to
say a couple of chapters in now still

974
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:23.119
don't know how actually long it is. But they do a really good job

975
01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:28.400
at like making sure that it's not
just a talking heads visual novel where you're

976
01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:30.440
kind of walking around, You're interacting
with a lot of stuff, and there

977
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:37.920
are some uh mini games and the
thing that wound it really made me miss

978
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:44.079
was kind of being like in that
age of just being in like an obscene

979
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:49.280
amount of group chats and just like
shit talking with your friends and being transported

980
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:53.320
back to that really got me in
my feels and I don't think I'm emotionally

981
01:03:53.360 --> 01:03:58.679
ready for where the story is supposed
to go. It's getting into my head

982
01:03:58.840 --> 01:04:02.920
too much. Just like Mike not
You've been getting into heads Psychonauts. Yeah,

983
01:04:03.000 --> 01:04:09.639
yeah, over on you beat the
meat on Twitch last night? Yeah,

984
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:14.960
did say, Mike Manati is live. Let's beat the meat. Beat

985
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:18.519
the meat circus. Beat the meat
circus, which is not any better?

986
01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:28.719
Circuits full of us beating our meats. No. Over on over on,

987
01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:31.840
Jeffidies like our Discord channel with just
tied to like our Patriot. We have

988
01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:35.320
a game club where we play through
games, and Psychonauts one was was the

989
01:04:35.400 --> 01:04:39.960
latest one. So I was playing
through that, which is fun because you

990
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:42.679
know, I played through psycond Notts
one back in the day, but I

991
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:45.960
never finished it. I got pretty
far. I don't know why I got

992
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:47.320
thrown off it. But then you
know, played Psychoots two when that came

993
01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.039
out and really loved that. It's
good to go back to this and play

994
01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:54.840
it. It's interesting how it's actually
a lot more like Psychonauts too than I

995
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.760
would have thought, Like a lot
of those mechanics and things are just there.

996
01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:00.440
Second, NOTTS two is definitely more
refined and more fleshed out. It

997
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:05.519
also has more platforming. Like there's
a lot of gimmick levels in this game,

998
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:08.320
and a lot of them are really
fun and neat, you know.

999
01:05:08.440 --> 01:05:11.000
I think people know about like the
Milkman level, where it's almost kind of

1000
01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:15.000
more about like solving kind of inventory
puzzles, like an old school adventure game.

1001
01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:17.679
But I could have done with a
bit more pure platforming and things like

1002
01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:21.960
that. But the writing's still,
you know, so incredibly sharp and funny,

1003
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:26.719
just really likable characters. Yeah,
that last level was really hyped up

1004
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:30.320
the Meat Circus as something people had
problems with, and apparently it was patched

1005
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:34.159
in at least a PC version at
somebody because people had so much trouble with

1006
01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:39.920
it. I was playing on game
Pass on my Xbox right, and I

1007
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.719
don't know if that version's patch because
it's just it seems like it's just playing

1008
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:45.119
you know, the Xbox original Xbox
version of it, right, So I

1009
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:47.719
don't know, So whatever version I
played or not. I didn't have that

1010
01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:50.519
much trouble with it. But you
know, I'm a pro gamer and I'm

1011
01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:55.039
very I mean, you are mounted
and good. But now it was a

1012
01:05:55.039 --> 01:05:57.280
lot of fun. I was glad
I finally got to like go through and

1013
01:05:57.280 --> 01:05:59.880
say yes, I beat the meat
Circus and the rest of the game.

1014
01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:04.960
Good enough work, fantastic. We
talked about a bunch of games, not

1015
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:09.199
quickly at all, but Dan Rekert, you have something here you want to

1016
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.000
talk about summer games done quick?
Yes I did. I was here in

1017
01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:15.440
Minneapolis, and it's kind of my
first time I felt okay enough to get

1018
01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:17.960
out of the house. Was I
showed up in person there? Yeah,

1019
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:19.920
I went. I went. They
do a great job there, and I

1020
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:23.719
think it's it's one of the reasons
it's great to be back here is every

1021
01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:26.039
year. Hopefully they keep doing that
here and can keep checking it out.

1022
01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:30.480
But yeah, I went on the
first day and saw a Yoshi's story all

1023
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:32.920
Melon's Run, which was interesting because
like, that is a game I was

1024
01:06:32.960 --> 01:06:35.440
excited for and played a little bit
of and fell off and didn't love,

1025
01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:40.920
and so it's interesting seeing like a
super super deep dive on that game.

1026
01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:44.280
I did learn there's these big fucked
up looking enemies at the end that are

1027
01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:47.559
these like crazy balls with like jagged
teeth and mean eyes. And I was

1028
01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:56.559
told that they are named Attackie Sacks, which I like a lot. Yes,

1029
01:06:57.239 --> 01:07:00.039
I love that Nintendo Treo like top
tier and stuff like that. That's

1030
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:02.559
great. Yeah, that was awesome. And then they had some great stuff.

1031
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:04.719
They had like a coin op room
and things like that, and lots

1032
01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:06.960
of little side rooms where you could
just kind of like check out games and

1033
01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:10.280
play. Stuffy had a virtual boy
set up and I played the Water World

1034
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:13.800
a virtual boy. Uh yeah,
yep, I'm sure that's probably exactly what

1035
01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:16.760
my doctor told me to just post
sinus surgery, as saying, a public

1036
01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:20.559
virtual boy that's thirty years old at
a game command the only way to experience

1037
01:07:20.599 --> 01:07:25.440
Kevin Coster's vision as was intended.
So it is. I have not spent

1038
01:07:25.519 --> 01:07:28.079
a lot of time inside the Virtual
Boy, and it is kind of a

1039
01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:30.000
crazy effect. Like there's a lot
of like like the virtual Boy. It's

1040
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:32.519
weird because like like there's like a
bunch of characters like floating in the water

1041
01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:35.280
in the water World, and it
looks like it was like digitized, like

1042
01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:39.800
kind of like the Mortal Combat style, but like all red and like with

1043
01:07:39.880 --> 01:07:42.559
weird perspectives. So it's just a
weird looking thing. But I thought it

1044
01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:45.400
was pretty cool. There was a
fucked up like I put it on my

1045
01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:50.039
Instagram, this picture of this Pringles
thing. There's just a lonely CRT sitting

1046
01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:53.760
in one of the rooms with just
like ros and ros and rows of CRTs,

1047
01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:55.880
and you know, people are over
here playing Smash Brothers, people are

1048
01:07:55.880 --> 01:07:59.559
playing this or that. There's one
station with no one at it, just

1049
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:02.639
a big CRT a bunch of different
flavors of Pringles on top of it,

1050
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:06.960
a Sega Genesis plugged into it,
and it's got like the visual style of

1051
01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:10.239
this game playing on this seri T. You could pick it up and play

1052
01:08:10.280 --> 01:08:12.639
a little bit of it. I
did. It looked kind of like cool

1053
01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:15.279
spot. It kind of like looked
like how a licensed Genesis game would look

1054
01:08:15.279 --> 01:08:17.960
and feel. Sure, but you're
playing as the little Pringles head thing,

1055
01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:23.920
but it's like the modern Pringles logo
and the cartridge in the Genesis is like

1056
01:08:23.920 --> 01:08:27.439
it just looks like a Genesis cartridge
with a Pringles label on it. So

1057
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:30.239
I don't know if this was some
weird stealth marketing thing. If it is

1058
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:33.640
someone at the Pringles Corporation's plucks an
awesome game. Is it a fan game?

1059
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:38.359
Yes, it's according to Lexi and
Chat, so someone that just loves

1060
01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:42.720
Springles made of Pringles display and brings
it around to SGDU. There was an

1061
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:46.560
actual Chester cheated game. Yeah.
Yeah. To get on the top one

1062
01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:49.039
hundred on speed run dot com.
For this game, you got to beat

1063
01:08:49.079 --> 01:08:54.279
in ten minutes and forty two seconds
or faster. The top time is two

1064
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:58.000
minutes and fifty two seconds. Oh
okay, so yeah you need downld ok.

1065
01:08:58.119 --> 01:09:00.279
Yeah, there's a zip files here
on this way paradigm thing or you're

1066
01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:03.359
just playing a browser too. Yeah. Just I stopped and I was like,

1067
01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:05.159
what the fuck am I looking at? Here? Is like this is

1068
01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:10.199
the weirdest marketing I've ever seen or
something else. Uh okay, well that

1069
01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:12.640
that answers my question there. But
that was a weird thing to see.

1070
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:15.760
But yeah, no, it's a
they do a great job. I played

1071
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:18.079
some crazy taxi arcade, which I
never really did before. Like it's one

1072
01:09:18.079 --> 01:09:20.640
of those cabins you actually sit in
and you know, it's racing game style,

1073
01:09:20.680 --> 01:09:24.560
and that was fun to play it. That way, but yeah,

1074
01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:27.239
it's great. Uh you know,
uh, next year comes back, hopefully

1075
01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:30.760
I'll come some more days. But
love what they do there. Yeah,

1076
01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:31.840
I got to watch a bunch of
the runs. It was good. They

1077
01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:35.560
did announce they're coming back to Pittsburgh
for awesome games done quick, So are

1078
01:09:35.560 --> 01:09:39.640
they really? Yeah? Yes,
I'll be able to go again. I

1079
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:42.039
hope maybe you can make it out
this time. Ye dam If anybody else

1080
01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:45.199
wants to come in, we can
all party in Pittsburgh. It'll be a

1081
01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:47.319
good time. But yeah, I
I love games real quick. I love

1082
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:50.319
what they do. It's it's it's
always a fun week for me when those

1083
01:09:50.319 --> 01:09:55.359
events are going on. Fantastic,
fantastic. We love it. Also,

1084
01:09:55.680 --> 01:10:00.520
they hit a gigantic milestone this uh
this past point five million right for doctor

1085
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:03.319
stub orders. Yeah, insane,
I love it. I love it,

1086
01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:06.279
just like I love the news.
But I'm gonna have to take a quick

1087
01:10:06.279 --> 01:10:15.359
breaking break and we'll be back with
video game news. Jeff Grub for the

1088
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:18.319
love of God, please take this
news hat back. I don't know how

1089
01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:25.359
you do it. Here's your notepad
and pencil. I'll go. I'll go

1090
01:10:25.479 --> 01:10:29.319
back to the printing press for the
video game a bunch of butts on here,

1091
01:10:29.439 --> 01:10:30.800
would you just do it with a
bunch of butts? It's just what's

1092
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:34.840
and cool asses? Grub what's the
biggest thing that happened in the last two

1093
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:39.279
weeks. I've been super out of
the loop. Uh well, I've been

1094
01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:43.119
gone Dan, So I don't know
what's the bigger things that happened the last

1095
01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:48.119
two weeks. We're calling me bang
boo. Now we're not calling you that.

1096
01:10:49.119 --> 01:10:56.239
Mike will call you Mike Michael.
He's like, oh, I could

1097
01:10:56.279 --> 01:10:59.079
say it now, So yeah,
if I don't, it's a problematic of

1098
01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:01.800
me to do that. All right, let's get into the news here.

1099
01:11:02.319 --> 01:11:08.760
Let's start with the May twenty four
US game sales Sircana reports war Ago,

1100
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:13.560
I know what they he actually delayed
this May. Well, let's see here

1101
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:16.199
the game paper Mario the One thousand
Year Door came out and that was number

1102
01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:20.279
two on the charts. But that
doesn't include digital sales. And you know,

1103
01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:23.880
if you're not looking at this,
guess what the number one best selling

1104
01:11:23.920 --> 01:11:30.880
game of May was. I know, Mario Kart A Deluxe Still that's then

1105
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:38.520
it was Ghost of Sushima, which
got released on PC and jumped from seventy

1106
01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:41.279
one the month before, all the
way up to number one, so not

1107
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:44.039
too bad, way higher jumped,
And I feel like we usually see for

1108
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:48.239
these PlayStation ports, but Ghost of
Sushimi has always been like surprisingly popular.

1109
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:51.159
Yeah yeah, it never gets quite
talked about as much as you know,

1110
01:11:51.159 --> 01:11:54.640
like a Spider Man or The Last
of Us are even a Horizon, But

1111
01:11:54.720 --> 01:11:59.199
that game did very well, and
I'm see how the sequel is going to

1112
01:11:59.279 --> 01:12:01.520
do in it and gets announced probably
next year. For as much as we

1113
01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:06.600
clown on Horizon, I feel like
we're just like saturated with so many various

1114
01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:12.920
Horizon related things that I'm surprised we
haven't gone that with ghosts of Sushima given

1115
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:15.119
how popular it is. Yeah,
well it's just the one game right now.

1116
01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:17.079
It hasn't had a bunch of spin
offs. And like I, you

1117
01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:20.760
know, I defend Horizon a bit
from you guys by definitely like Ghost of

1118
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:26.800
Sushi more than I like Ye.
Yeah, Ghost of Sushima also benefitted into

1119
01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:30.600
on this chart from the lack of
big new releases. You know. Home

1120
01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:34.000
World three was a new release that
was number fourteen. F one twenty four

1121
01:12:34.079 --> 01:12:36.720
was number eighteen on this list,
and that was the only other new release

1122
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:42.399
other than Paper Mario, and then
we're like our PlayStation or Xbox gamer.

1123
01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:45.319
Yeah, you probably not much new
for you, right, and Paper Mario

1124
01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:47.920
again doesn't include digital sales. With
digital sales, it probably is number one.

1125
01:12:48.119 --> 01:12:51.640
So good that game rules. Oh
it's so freaking good. Holy yeah,

1126
01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:56.159
rap, I loved it. H
oh real quick? Yeah, please

1127
01:12:56.159 --> 01:12:58.920
go away? Did you kind of
bounce off of for a bit to play

1128
01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:00.520
out and Ring? Are you going? Yeah, I'm going I'm going back

1129
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:04.039
to it. It helped that I
was at the house. There was a

1130
01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:08.439
kid there that is super into video
games, and he was very impressed that

1131
01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:11.760
are you already have the thousand year
Door. I'm like, yeah, candicet

1132
01:13:11.800 --> 01:13:15.680
it for work, you dumb little
baby. So I'm like, yeah,

1133
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:17.920
once I'm done with Elden Ring,
once I beat this final boss, it

1134
01:13:17.960 --> 01:13:21.560
will be back a thousand year Door. But only got a little bit left

1135
01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:25.800
in that game, so I'm looking
forward to it. The big maybe the

1136
01:13:25.800 --> 01:13:29.640
big news out of this report is
that console sales continue to be down across

1137
01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:32.920
the board. May video game hardware
spending declined forty percent when compared to a

1138
01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:36.840
year ago. That's to two hundred
and two million dollars and is now thirty

1139
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:41.920
percent lower year to date. So
year to date hardware spending is down thirty

1140
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:46.199
percent through May. All current generation
hardware platforms are showing double digit percentage declined,

1141
01:13:46.239 --> 01:13:50.880
So that means PlayStation, Xbox,
and Switch are all down at least

1142
01:13:50.920 --> 01:13:55.680
double digit percentage from last year,
so it's not like there's just one dragging

1143
01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:59.199
the rest down. The Switch,
though, is the most significant drop as

1144
01:13:59.199 --> 01:14:01.359
you would expect at this age of
at this point of the console's life cycle.

1145
01:14:02.279 --> 01:14:06.279
You know that said PlayStation five,
when you line up the sales compared

1146
01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:10.920
to PS four, it is eight
percent ahead of the PS four in the

1147
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:15.039
United States, So some of the
slowdown can be maybe attributed to there was

1148
01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:18.039
that huge rush to get PS fives
early on, and now those people got

1149
01:14:18.239 --> 01:14:21.840
half PS fives and the rest of
the audience is maybe still kind of lagging

1150
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:27.840
behind the rest. Xbox one mean
or Xbox series excuse me, is thirteen

1151
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:31.399
percent behind the Xbox one and slightly
behind the Xbox three sixty when you line

1152
01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:35.279
up the first forty three months,
so not great over for Xbox. But

1153
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:40.640
either way, the decline in hardware
spending has got to be something that these

1154
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:44.720
companies are looking at and maybe worrying
about a little bit. But I don't

1155
01:14:44.720 --> 01:14:46.239
get the sense necessarily that they're like, this is all doom and gloom and

1156
01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:49.399
this is what it's going going to
be like forever. This does feel like

1157
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:55.039
a momentary lull that might be solved
here pretty soon. How do you guys

1158
01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:58.760
read that? I mean the drop
it hardware spending. I mean PlayStation has

1159
01:14:58.800 --> 01:15:02.279
clearly not had a whole lot lot
of releases this year, especially from PlayStation

1160
01:15:02.399 --> 01:15:05.760
studios. That's gonna hurt them.
Xbox is gonna ramp up here soon,

1161
01:15:05.800 --> 01:15:09.840
but still it's been slow, hopefully
too. I don't want to say,

1162
01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:12.119
I don't want to say it came
and went, but maybe it was never

1163
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:15.560
meant to be some big tent pole
thing, even though like when it was

1164
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:17.560
announced, I thought it was gonna
be like the closer we got to is

1165
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:20.239
like, oh, clearly it's not. Actually that is just going to kind

1166
01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:24.520
of come out and it'll be nice
and some people are gonna really like it.

1167
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:29.399
But it was never expected to make
some big dent and hardware sales or

1168
01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:32.760
something like that, or even game
pass subscriptions. No, I think it's

1169
01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:35.560
I think a lot of people kind
of have like that survived till twenty twenty

1170
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:39.319
five mentality, hear. I think
everyone knows it's going to be sort of

1171
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:43.000
a weird year as we wait for
the switch to and maybe even wait for

1172
01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:46.359
Grand Theft out of Six and some
of these other bigger exclusives that come out.

1173
01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:50.720
Do you think college Football will make
an actual impact on that. I

1174
01:15:50.800 --> 01:15:54.520
do think it will have an impact
on that. There is a huge audience

1175
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:57.159
of people who have sat down on
gaming because they love college football. I

1176
01:15:57.199 --> 01:15:59.760
was gonna say, like, I've
had numerous people in my life that never

1177
01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:00.960
talk talk to me about games,
but they know what I do for a

1178
01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:04.199
living, and the one going they
brought up to me college football. So

1179
01:16:04.199 --> 01:16:08.119
it's like, I bet it's anecdotal. But like all these people talking about,

1180
01:16:08.119 --> 01:16:10.399
oh yeah, I'm finally gonna get
PlayStation five, college Football is coming

1181
01:16:10.439 --> 01:16:13.720
out. You know it's going to
be enormous that I mean, I don't

1182
01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:15.199
know if it will be enormous like
annually going forward, it will still be

1183
01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:18.840
a very top selling game, just
like all sports games are, but this

1184
01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:21.600
one feels like it has the chance
to be like one of the top three

1185
01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:25.479
best selling games of the year.
So we should do something with that.

1186
01:16:26.239 --> 01:16:30.359
Oh yeah, we talk back to
college for a future. Okay, I

1187
01:16:30.840 --> 01:16:36.359
never will for the first time this
movie, We're gonna move to Lawrence.

1188
01:16:36.359 --> 01:16:40.079
We're all going to get in a
dorm together. I'm not going to fucking

1189
01:16:40.279 --> 01:16:44.520
Kansas. Hey, Lawrence is the
one, Thomas Lawrence is all right,

1190
01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:47.439
Oh my gosh, God, I
mean to school. I'm I'll go to

1191
01:16:47.479 --> 01:16:55.119
Michigan. That's Lawrence is the Colorado
of Kansas. Okay, okay, Oh

1192
01:16:55.159 --> 01:16:58.279
so the cool place. All right, think of all the college Shenanigans we

1193
01:16:58.319 --> 01:17:03.800
can all have together. We start
gbu Oh god, we all just reverred

1194
01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:15.039
to our college ade selves. Jesus
Christ, I'd be pretty similar mug shot.

1195
01:17:15.359 --> 01:17:18.520
Yeah, I'll be good, all
right, This this story is for

1196
01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:23.279
this audience. GameCube is getting retro
achievements. This might be the biggest thing

1197
01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:27.279
that happened in the last two weeks. The initial list of games includes F

1198
01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:30.560
Zero, g X, Super Smash
Brothers, Melee, Warrior World, Beautiful,

1199
01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:33.000
Joe p and O three, Killer
Seven, Roast, Rogue Squadron two,

1200
01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:38.039
Beton Cato's Chippy Robo, and I
didn't reavepen Rogue Squadron two instead of

1201
01:17:38.119 --> 01:17:42.960
Roague Leader Psychopaths, and I'm not
leading off anything, including Super Mario Sunshine,

1202
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:46.279
which I kind of want to play. Because of that, This fucking

1203
01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:50.239
retro achievement stuff has now broken the
way I play games on the road because

1204
01:17:50.279 --> 01:17:54.319
like I got that Ambernick sp gimmick. So I bought that thing. I

1205
01:17:54.319 --> 01:17:56.680
love it. It's great. Been
playing a lot of warrior wear and stuff

1206
01:17:56.720 --> 01:18:00.159
on it. But it can connect
to retro achievements. So this some thing

1207
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:01.800
that is inherently meant to be a
thing you can just throw in your pocket

1208
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:04.239
or throw it in a bag for
a plane or something like that. It's

1209
01:18:04.279 --> 01:18:08.520
not like, well, I'm not
gonna if I can't connect to the internet.

1210
01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:12.600
I can't just play Aria of Sorrow
and not get retro achievements for it,

1211
01:18:12.680 --> 01:18:15.840
you know, like like that,
I will only play my little portable

1212
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:18.960
system if I'm like at home connected
to Wi Fi. It's so stupid.

1213
01:18:19.439 --> 01:18:23.239
You know you can You can connect
it on your Steam deck as well,

1214
01:18:23.319 --> 01:18:26.359
so I know you can get it. Well. Sorry quick aside here as

1215
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:28.920
of yesterday my ice Steam deck.
I don't know if the system is fucked

1216
01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:30.479
up or some update broke everything,
but you know, I was almost at

1217
01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:33.880
the end of wind Waker and now
it wouldn't open it up for a long

1218
01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:36.199
time. It seems like it's not
reading like the st card right. But

1219
01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:39.960
also when I can get it to
load, something about the seamooth thing or

1220
01:18:40.000 --> 01:18:43.199
whatever, like only touch screen works, and like this the pop ups are

1221
01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:45.720
going on screen and won't go away, like all this weird shit that I

1222
01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:47.039
have not been able to google.
Like, oh, like I can't play

1223
01:18:47.079 --> 01:18:50.640
wind Waker now, and I'm always
you did you update any of your stuff

1224
01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:55.359
in emy deck? Did that?
Last night? I went and I said

1225
01:18:55.399 --> 01:18:58.159
everything Some of those were bad updates, they were saying, So yeah,

1226
01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:00.880
shit, man, that sucks.
So it's like I seriously spent like most

1227
01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:02.279
of raw last night on my steam
deck like trying to figure out how to

1228
01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:04.600
get it to work, and could
not get there. That is the thing

1229
01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:09.880
with these devices is like interropy comes
for them really quickly, Like there is

1230
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:15.439
no device for emulation really that I
would you feel like recommend to someone who's

1231
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:18.399
like I want it to always just
work. It's like, man, it

1232
01:19:18.439 --> 01:19:21.920
really is kind of original hardware.
And maybe if someone in your life will

1233
01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:26.600
set up a mister and then you
don't ever touch it, again, maybe

1234
01:19:26.600 --> 01:19:29.600
that would be fine, but for
a lot of these devices, it's like

1235
01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:31.880
one day if they update or get
a bad update, it could just stop

1236
01:19:31.920 --> 01:19:33.840
working. Yeah. It was very
frustrating because I put like a lot of

1237
01:19:33.880 --> 01:19:35.960
hours in that Windwaker thing and now
I just can't play it. You know.

1238
01:19:36.560 --> 01:19:40.640
Yeah, I would like Bungus doesn't
chat, I rerun the mu deck

1239
01:19:40.680 --> 01:19:45.720
launcher, do do let everything reconfigure
out. Oh boy, Okay, I

1240
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:48.119
was having trouble with my steam Deck. I think the update made the SD

1241
01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:53.079
card stuff a little weird. It
stopped recognizing my sd card until I popped

1242
01:19:53.079 --> 01:19:55.640
it out and popped it back.
That's's happening with me. Okay, So

1243
01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:57.800
I think this might be a steam
Deck issue. Actually, I think the

1244
01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:00.840
latest steam Deck update might have stuff. It's time that it's time to join

1245
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:08.319
the alliance boys. I'm roger Ally
Alliance cards. What are you talking about

1246
01:20:10.760 --> 01:20:15.399
for you? Yeah, it's just
there toasty. I like the roger Ally

1247
01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:16.640
plenty. It's it's good. Use
it like every once in a while when

1248
01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:20.319
the game doesn't run as well on
the Steam guy played Bloodstained on grub Are

1249
01:20:20.319 --> 01:20:25.159
you saying that Mario Sunshine does not
have achievements? Only does I just I

1250
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:30.479
was afraid to say it because when
this comes out, let's play Super Mario

1251
01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:35.680
Sunshine and get some retro achievements,
and that could be a strange Okay,

1252
01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:40.600
No, no, we're not doing
that. I'm not doing some weird shenanigans.

1253
01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:44.720
You're not putting on the gold jacket. What if you play like Sunshine

1254
01:20:44.840 --> 01:20:48.600
Sunshine tomorrow? I don't. I'm
not sure the retro. We could just

1255
01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:53.840
play Sunshine tomorrow. Okay, listen, I'll play a crazy how we ever?

1256
01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:58.199
Have I feel something, I'll give
you points. I did do another

1257
01:20:58.640 --> 01:21:01.920
specific quack shot play through just to
get all those achievements. I've never been

1258
01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:05.600
a huge achievement. No, that's
the weird thing, is the new achievements.

1259
01:21:05.640 --> 01:21:09.079
I don't give a shit about retro
achievements. For some reason, I'm

1260
01:21:09.079 --> 01:21:12.000
like, this is kind of neat. Now you're activated by that. Piano

1261
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:15.880
three is one of the games I
got. I got that one in the

1262
01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:17.920
back there, like someday I'm gonna
pull up Piano two. Can we settle

1263
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:21.079
it once and for all? Is
Pano three trying to say, like trying

1264
01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:25.640
to be like Piano No, I've
never heard that or thought that in my

1265
01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:29.680
life. No, I think all
the time, piano three, no piano

1266
01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:31.119
is there? Is there any because
I've only like looked at the game briefly.

1267
01:21:31.239 --> 01:21:34.000
Isn't it like a musical rhythm sort
of action? I thought it was

1268
01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:41.119
around shooting things. I thought it's
like she's got like like dance and like

1269
01:21:41.199 --> 01:21:43.800
move around and into the beat and
kill things. To that, I thought

1270
01:21:43.800 --> 01:21:46.600
it was an action game. People. You're telling me if you say p

1271
01:21:46.800 --> 01:21:50.640
n O real quick, it doesn't
sound like pm pno three. It's not

1272
01:21:50.760 --> 01:21:55.279
like piano three. Piano three,
yes, sounds like piano. I'm looking

1273
01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:57.399
at my my search. I was
about to search it, and it's like

1274
01:21:57.439 --> 01:22:02.399
I've already I've already searched this before. All right, whatever, listen,

1275
01:22:02.439 --> 01:22:05.319
my brain makes connections where maybe there
is nothing that was one of the cap

1276
01:22:05.359 --> 01:22:10.760
Com five right, yeah, of
course, what's the last? Wait?

1277
01:22:10.800 --> 01:22:14.960
Okay, so Killer seven, p
and O three, Beautiful Joe Residental four,

1278
01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:17.000
and then an unreleased one. Right
yeah, yeah, the one that

1279
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:25.119
didn't actually gets Dragon something or deep
dive or deep down. That's a kind

1280
01:22:25.119 --> 01:22:30.600
of yeah, that's right, Phoenix
dead, Phoenix there it is. It

1281
01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:33.079
sounds like a game that would never
come out. Yeah, that sounds like

1282
01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:36.960
a deep down You're right, absolutely. Warrio World on the game Cube is

1283
01:22:38.039 --> 01:22:40.880
so underrated. It's so much fun. The only reason people think this is

1284
01:22:40.880 --> 01:22:44.159
because it's short in these days.
Who cares if you Warrior World. Sorry,

1285
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:47.039
you're talking about Warrior Where party game
went. It's a weird treasure game.

1286
01:22:47.159 --> 01:22:50.239
Yeah, it's it's a treasure and
it is just like, hey,

1287
01:22:50.279 --> 01:22:53.800
we took the mechanics from warriol In
and put them in three D and it

1288
01:22:53.920 --> 01:22:57.960
works and it's real fun. It's
fun. The pause me thing is very

1289
01:22:58.279 --> 01:23:02.399
very very good. Yes, yeah, that's great, all right. Astro's

1290
01:23:02.439 --> 01:23:06.640
Playroom second update is now available,
hiding a new special bot in the game.

1291
01:23:08.199 --> 01:23:11.880
Astrobot, launching on September six,
features a mission to rescue three hundred

1292
01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:15.640
scattered bots around the world, including
cameo characters from PlayStation history. They have

1293
01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:20.119
now updated Astro's Playroom the game that
comes with the PS five to hide four

1294
01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:24.119
of those bots in the current game, so that now you can do this

1295
01:23:24.199 --> 01:23:28.319
little thing to to find those and
it's like it is like little puzzles.

1296
01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:30.560
One of them. You have to
like find a clock and set it to

1297
01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:32.760
the appropriate time to find a reference
to a game that is never going to

1298
01:23:32.800 --> 01:23:35.119
get remade or ported or anything.
I don't want to spoil it, but

1299
01:23:35.119 --> 01:23:39.000
I think you might know what I'm
talking about. So yeah, that that's

1300
01:23:39.039 --> 01:23:42.119
pretty cool. I just put this
in here because I love anything Astro.

1301
01:23:42.279 --> 01:23:45.119
Right now, Yes, I want
to go. I want to go back

1302
01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:48.199
to Astroom. The updates they did
to like include some of the stelic references

1303
01:23:48.279 --> 01:23:51.840
to this, and there's like a
countdown. It's cool. It was already

1304
01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:55.239
neat, so the fact that they're
doing even more is great. God.

1305
01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:57.520
I was so excited for this.
I was just trying to figure when that's

1306
01:23:57.560 --> 01:24:00.239
coming out. That's like early September, right September sixth then, and just

1307
01:24:00.319 --> 01:24:03.039
think thinking about release dates. I
just realized any S World Championship is like

1308
01:24:03.119 --> 01:24:08.439
a week right, uh yeah,
Holy moly, y it's in nine days

1309
01:24:08.560 --> 01:24:12.680
right, yes, rules, Oh
my god, it cannot wait. It's

1310
01:24:12.680 --> 01:24:15.399
going to take us over. So
excited, Oh my god for that.

1311
01:24:15.600 --> 01:24:17.520
And then this, Oh it's good. Yeah, okay, yep, So

1312
01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:21.880
looking forward to some games right there. Two Ky's BioShock team is recruiting like

1313
01:24:23.000 --> 01:24:26.800
Matt for the next series, Entry
Cloud Chamber. The BioShock team at two

1314
01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:30.920
K Studios is actively recruiting game developers
for the next installment in the Enclaimed series.

1315
01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:35.640
The studio seeks talent across various disciplines, including animation, art design,

1316
01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:40.960
scripting, production management, and writing. Let's See Your Bio Shock four will

1317
01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:45.560
feature a new fantastical world, possibly
set during the nineteen sixties in Antarctica's fictional

1318
01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:49.880
city of Borealis. The development team
includes Bioshocked veterans in the original BioShock.

1319
01:24:49.920 --> 01:24:55.000
Director Ken Levin is not involved in
the new game. I never know how

1320
01:24:55.039 --> 01:24:58.840
to take these stories where it's like, I thought this game was like close

1321
01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:01.479
to coming out. Does this means
we've been hearing about this for a long

1322
01:25:01.520 --> 01:25:04.720
time now, right? Does?
But does this story mean that it's that

1323
01:25:04.840 --> 01:25:09.079
it's not in that state, because
I remember Metroid Prime four always had like

1324
01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:12.000
the people were like looking for any
tidbit on that because we hadn't heard about

1325
01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:14.479
it for so long, and then
there'll be like, oh my god,

1326
01:25:14.520 --> 01:25:17.680
they're only just now hiring for blank. Does that mean they've done no work

1327
01:25:17.720 --> 01:25:20.880
on that? And that's usually not
what it means. That's probably not not

1328
01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:25.880
what what's happening here. But maybe
maybe this does mean it's a little bit

1329
01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.520
further off than I was expecting.
I don't know. Yeah, I will

1330
01:25:28.600 --> 01:25:32.680
say the idea of setting it in
like a city in Antarctica, that sounds

1331
01:25:32.840 --> 01:25:35.600
cool. I love that. Yeah. Honestly, most things take they take

1332
01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:39.720
place in Antarctica or my jam for
some reason. I don't know why,

1333
01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:47.199
the isolation down there. Yeah,
yeah, all of that. So I

1334
01:25:47.239 --> 01:25:50.439
don't know what, like six what
would be sixties ish about it specifically,

1335
01:25:50.520 --> 01:25:54.359
but hey, well, I mean
like you could imagine like a post war,

1336
01:25:54.520 --> 01:25:58.159
like in the Cold War, like
so much funding was done for various

1337
01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:01.560
sort of black ops of military research
that you could justify sort of anything in

1338
01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:04.600
the nineteen sixties where it's like,
oh, if that was happening today,

1339
01:26:04.600 --> 01:26:08.159
it's like they wouldn't spend they wouldn't
waste money on this dumb shit, but

1340
01:26:08.199 --> 01:26:11.600
back in the sixties they would.
I sure hope that they don't like double

1341
01:26:11.680 --> 01:26:16.159
down or even continue the kind of
multiverse aspect from the especially the day,

1342
01:26:16.319 --> 01:26:20.680
right. I mean, it's it
doesn't like add anything to a story,

1343
01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:24.239
Like I'm sure it could be like, well, this is why some of

1344
01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:28.439
these things are happening, but it
cannot be central to what happens, I

1345
01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:30.880
would hope not, yeah, because
I don't know. Infinite is such an

1346
01:26:30.920 --> 01:26:33.640
infinite is such a weird game in
terms of like how like I played and

1347
01:26:33.720 --> 01:26:35.920
really liked it, then like a
week layers like I don't know if it

1348
01:26:36.079 --> 01:26:40.840
was good when I actually think about
it, because you know, it's like

1349
01:26:40.920 --> 01:26:43.680
it starts off like, oh,
this is gonna like be talking about Patriots

1350
01:26:43.760 --> 01:26:45.560
in the same way the first game
talked about, you know, like the

1351
01:26:45.600 --> 01:26:47.039
ann Ran stuff and whatnot, and
then like it's like, ah, they

1352
01:26:47.079 --> 01:26:49.600
got bored of that, and what
if what if? Like uh, what

1353
01:26:49.720 --> 01:26:55.520
if there's multiple universes and what if
what if this guy was actually your father?

1354
01:26:56.039 --> 01:27:00.760
And what IF's standing against fascism was
just as bad as fascism exactly?

1355
01:27:00.920 --> 01:27:03.159
So I was like, oh,
okay, so I hope there's a more

1356
01:27:03.279 --> 01:27:09.560
concrete idea with this one that's not
quite as multiverse gimmickyar what have you?

1357
01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:13.760
BioShock Infinet peaked with the barber Shop
Quartet and then it was never his toy

1358
01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:15.079
stuff. Yes. When I saw
when I saw the Beach Boys and they

1359
01:27:15.119 --> 01:27:17.600
did God only knows, I was
like, no, I like the barb

1360
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:21.439
where there's like a tear in the
universe and Credence is coming out of its

1361
01:27:21.680 --> 01:27:26.479
favorite When you got to the movie
theater and I said Revenge of the Sith

1362
01:27:26.520 --> 01:27:33.760
instead work instead of its BioShock four
going to advance the video game porn scene

1363
01:27:33.840 --> 01:27:38.159
the same way that Binoshock Infinite.
I don't I don't try, but I

1364
01:27:38.159 --> 01:27:44.039
don't know porn scene. No,
okay. People created whole new programs and

1365
01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:47.159
like systems. There's a three D
model porn because of Elizabeth. I thought

1366
01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:50.079
you were saying there was a scene
in the game that was pornographic. I

1367
01:27:50.119 --> 01:27:56.199
don't remember that. In so much
Steam filmmaker porn on the internet. It

1368
01:27:56.359 --> 01:28:00.119
is wild like it. It's hard
to explain what you know? Janu the

1369
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:04.079
one that told me about it.
Biosoca walks over watch this man, what

1370
01:28:04.159 --> 01:28:10.119
the fuck? Uh? Pokemon's okay, this is messed up. Pokemon sleep

1371
01:28:10.199 --> 01:28:15.000
tracking app has generated one hundred million
dollars in a year. They monetized sleep.

1372
01:28:15.359 --> 01:28:19.239
Pokemon Sleep Yeah right. Pokemon Sleep, a sleep tracking app, has

1373
01:28:19.279 --> 01:28:24.119
reportedly generated over one hundred million dollars
in revenue within a week of its first

1374
01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:29.239
anniversary. Japanese users contributed the most
in revenue, accounting for seventy three million

1375
01:28:29.319 --> 01:28:32.520
dollars, followed by the US with
fifteen million dollars in Taiwan with four million

1376
01:28:32.600 --> 01:28:39.159
dollars. The Taiwan is big on
sleep too. The app has been downloaded

1377
01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:42.560
by ten million users, with a
significant portion based in Japan, the US,

1378
01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:45.199
and Taiwan. Pokemon Sleep allows players
to catch Pokemon based on their sleep

1379
01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:49.720
patterns and rewards them with a sleep
score. Players can upgrade their experience through

1380
01:28:49.760 --> 01:28:55.640
a Snorlas minigame and premium passy.
But the idea of like they found a

1381
01:28:55.680 --> 01:28:58.880
way to charge us during our sleep
really is the most upsetting thing I've thought

1382
01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:01.399
about. It played some time.
Insane. They're min maxing their sleep?

1383
01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:04.960
Yeah, yeah, oh my god. Do you think I got to use

1384
01:29:05.000 --> 01:29:08.640
that money to make the x mainline
Pokemon game? Not app? No?

1385
01:29:09.800 --> 01:29:13.640
No, great, shit, absolutely
not. They're going to make sleep too,

1386
01:29:15.600 --> 01:29:18.399
all right, I'm interested. Uh. The Xbox TV app is now

1387
01:29:18.439 --> 01:29:23.720
available on Amazon fire sticks. The
Xbox TV app is now available on those

1388
01:29:23.760 --> 01:29:28.239
sticks, allowing Game Pass Ultimate members
in over twenty five countries to stream Xbox

1389
01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:31.800
games to their Fire TV devices without
buying a console. Players can install the

1390
01:29:31.960 --> 01:29:36.359
Xbox app signing with their Microsoft account
and connect the controller to play. Supported

1391
01:29:36.399 --> 01:29:41.640
controllers include the Xbox Wireless controller of
the Adaptive Controller, and even the PlayStation

1392
01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:46.119
dual Sense. Microsoft's shelved Xbox streaming
device co named Keystone, was initially announced

1393
01:29:46.119 --> 01:29:49.840
in twenty twenty one, but was
deprioritized due to cost concerns. Wasn't announced.

1394
01:29:51.399 --> 01:29:55.159
Yeah, the people have been pointing
to this story a little bit that

1395
01:29:55.479 --> 01:29:58.000
we know cloud gaming has been happening
for a long time. They've been trying

1396
01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:01.159
to make it a bigger deal.
Mostly there's an advertising campaign for this and

1397
01:30:01.239 --> 01:30:05.359
says no console required, and people
are like really honing in on this again

1398
01:30:05.439 --> 01:30:09.239
to be like Microsoft doesn't care if
it sells Xboxes, and it's like,

1399
01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:12.399
yeah, duh, they've been doing
that for a while. But I mean,

1400
01:30:12.439 --> 01:30:15.279
I don't know, does any chance
you guys ever play Xbox games on

1401
01:30:15.319 --> 01:30:18.119
an Amazon Fire device? No?
I know. I've been so anti cloud

1402
01:30:18.119 --> 01:30:23.199
game forever. And it's like there's
that last mile problem with cloud gaming that

1403
01:30:23.399 --> 01:30:25.960
it feels like we've been on that
last mile now for over a decade.

1404
01:30:26.119 --> 01:30:29.039
We will be, yes, and
we still will be, but there's also

1405
01:30:29.199 --> 01:30:31.760
just like it's like even if you
are there, there's even just like the

1406
01:30:32.000 --> 01:30:35.800
thread of it. I'm just constantly
like I'm playing cloud and I'm like thinking,

1407
01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:38.840
like, oh, is there late
and see or not? Maybe there

1408
01:30:38.960 --> 01:30:43.399
is. It's just like that's maybe
a me problem that I can't stop even

1409
01:30:43.479 --> 01:30:45.760
thinking about it. But it's just
not for me, you know, I

1410
01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:47.560
hate about it. It takes for
everything for the games to start. I

1411
01:30:47.640 --> 01:30:50.319
try to start a game on Xbox
Cloud streaming and it's like, okay,

1412
01:30:50.319 --> 01:30:54.600
we're spinning it up for you,
and it's like five minutes or it feels

1413
01:30:54.640 --> 01:30:57.560
like five minutes, and I'm like, well, I'm okay, never mind,

1414
01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:00.359
I don't want I don't feel like
playing anymore. This is crazy because

1415
01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:01.880
like the only time I've ever used
the cloud gaming, like you through the

1416
01:31:01.920 --> 01:31:06.000
shortcut on your phone or whatever it's
not an app, is Fortnite, And

1417
01:31:06.319 --> 01:31:10.479
like, so, would you be
able to just play Fortnite on a TV?

1418
01:31:11.359 --> 01:31:13.840
Yeah, definitely you can do this. Yeah. I'm trying to think

1419
01:31:13.840 --> 01:31:16.239
of a circumstance where like that would
happen, but like that's maybe the one

1420
01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:19.720
thing I would do. I think
the you know, there are definitely other

1421
01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:24.920
other streaming services that are similar or
better, and g G Force now is

1422
01:31:24.960 --> 01:31:28.760
one that people always point out,
like when GPUs are really expensive there during

1423
01:31:28.800 --> 01:31:30.840
the pandemic, I was always telling
people just go use g Force now instead

1424
01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:34.079
of buying a new computer. Right
now, you can get all this It

1425
01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:39.800
works really well and you get all
the benefits of a new GPU. Xbox's

1426
01:31:39.800 --> 01:31:43.880
streaming offerings have just not really been
up to snuff compared to something like that,

1427
01:31:44.159 --> 01:31:47.800
So yeah, I think I probably
would not be using this. Disney

1428
01:31:47.840 --> 01:31:55.560
announces Pixel RPG or Mobile. Disney
Interactive and Gung Ho Entertainment have unveiled Disney

1429
01:31:55.640 --> 01:31:59.720
Pixel Rpg, a free to play
mobile game available for registration in Japan now.

1430
01:32:00.159 --> 01:32:03.399
The game features Disney characters navigating a
world disrupted by an unknown program,

1431
01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:09.520
with some items requiring payment. Weird. Confirmed characters include Poob, Genie,

1432
01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:15.119
Princess Aurora, Stitch, Maleficent,
and Ariel. Players can customize avatars using

1433
01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:17.960
Disney inspired costumes and classic characters like
Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, who will

1434
01:32:17.960 --> 01:32:23.359
also be present. The game's global
preregistration date is yet to be announced.

1435
01:32:24.239 --> 01:32:27.319
What is this? Yeah, I
mean it looks like one of those gotscha

1436
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:30.000
kind of turn based RPG games,
But you know that's the end, Like

1437
01:32:30.039 --> 01:32:32.760
the whole pixel aspect of it.
I'm old, so I like that.

1438
01:32:33.119 --> 01:32:38.000
It's also cute because it's like,
oh yeah, so this is Mickey from

1439
01:32:38.119 --> 01:32:42.800
the world of a fantasy RPG.
This is Ariel how she would look from

1440
01:32:42.960 --> 01:32:46.000
a rhythm game, like very specific. It's very much like Super Nintendo Pixels

1441
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:50.159
right kind of m hm, So
it looks kind of neat. Of course,

1442
01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:53.960
I'm like, you know, a
bit skeptical of it because it's just

1443
01:32:54.039 --> 01:32:59.840
you know, mobile RPG gotcha stuff. But the direction of this seems somewhat

1444
01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:04.000
promising. I also like that it
seems pretty pure like Disney feature animation.

1445
01:33:04.239 --> 01:33:08.279
I don't even know if they've like
brought up Pixar yet in anything I seen,

1446
01:33:08.359 --> 01:33:12.119
but you know, it's it's not
like Star Wars and Marvel when we're

1447
01:33:12.199 --> 01:33:15.680
fucking ice Age or like from Fox
right, it's like the pretty strict,

1448
01:33:16.199 --> 01:33:20.880
like the most Disney Disney do you
have against ice Age ship? It's bad.

1449
01:33:20.960 --> 01:33:25.479
I don't like that. I don't
like that little nutfucker what's his name,

1450
01:33:25.600 --> 01:33:30.640
scratch sid Sid No, No,
I'm not defending ice Age. I

1451
01:33:30.760 --> 01:33:35.600
hate I hate Raymond. I hate
that everybody, everybody I'm going to who

1452
01:33:35.600 --> 01:33:40.520
hates him, especially when He's a
wooly mammoth. That really makes me pissed.

1453
01:33:42.119 --> 01:33:45.680
H Like a Dragon Studio says fans
will be surprised by its next game.

1454
01:33:45.920 --> 01:33:50.800
Kotoku Studio tease its next title at
anime exposed Essence of Fandom event,

1455
01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:54.920
which is a dumb name. The
studio hinted that it will surprise fans,

1456
01:33:54.920 --> 01:33:58.800
but didn't reveal the game's genre.
Fans believe the next game is the next

1457
01:33:59.359 --> 01:34:02.319
like a Dragon title, not a
different franchise like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.

1458
01:34:02.319 --> 01:34:05.880
The latest Entury was released earlier this
year to critical acclaim. Basically they just

1459
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:10.840
their teasing. It said fans will
be surprised by what comes next. Uh,

1460
01:34:11.079 --> 01:34:14.039
really not much more information, but
I guess that opens up the table.

1461
01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:15.600
What do you guys want from like
a Dragon next? Because I kind

1462
01:34:15.640 --> 01:34:17.720
of excuse me, I want them
to kind of stay on this path that

1463
01:34:17.760 --> 01:34:20.720
they've been on with the turn based
RPG, but they try something. I

1464
01:34:20.760 --> 01:34:25.039
also trust them. So what do
you think I want to weird? Just

1465
01:34:25.079 --> 01:34:27.960
stay weird, you know, stay
weird exactly. Yes, what we're gonna

1466
01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:30.800
say, Mike, do you think
like they literally mean like a Dragon nine

1467
01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:31.800
or another spin off? Because they
do quite a few of them. They

1468
01:34:31.880 --> 01:34:34.239
do a lot of spinoffs. Yes, I think it'll be I think it'll

1469
01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:38.079
be a spinoff, right, because
we're probably a ways away from nine.

1470
01:34:38.960 --> 01:34:43.920
Maybe it'll be tiles. Jan I
was thinking about how how they could incorporate

1471
01:34:43.960 --> 01:34:46.079
tiles. But I like what they've
done with like the combat and Infinite Wealth

1472
01:34:46.159 --> 01:34:50.159
though, because like positioning is positioning
matters of course in tactics, but like

1473
01:34:50.800 --> 01:34:54.800
you know, I like how they
move and stuff. Mm hmm, yeah,

1474
01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:57.520
tactics. There was just like you
know, face their back, you

1475
01:34:57.600 --> 01:34:59.960
know. Yeah, Infinite Wealth.
I really love the way they had common

1476
01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:03.880
it right. It's like chaining one
hit into another and knock and then get

1477
01:35:04.119 --> 01:35:08.000
that person it gets gets close to
one of your teammates and they go in

1478
01:35:08.079 --> 01:35:11.399
and do a fall up attack.
And yeah, Mike, you asked me

1479
01:35:11.439 --> 01:35:13.680
what my favorite games were earlier,
like a few weeks ago, and I

1480
01:35:13.720 --> 01:35:15.960
forgot it, but that this game
came out this year, this is still

1481
01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:17.960
one of my top three games.
It gets out there, I wonder what

1482
01:35:18.039 --> 01:35:20.800
they could do because, like you
know, the later in the game you

1483
01:35:20.880 --> 01:35:26.800
get with Kiriu, it's it's almost
not as much of a turn based game

1484
01:35:26.840 --> 01:35:30.960
in some aspects of it, so
it gets right, it's not at all.

1485
01:35:32.159 --> 01:35:39.199
What if it's more Dan Doco Island
all right, all the way in

1486
01:35:39.399 --> 01:35:43.159
real time sun and moons. So
yeah, all that Dan Doko City.

1487
01:35:43.720 --> 01:35:50.159
Oh man, that ship ruled too. What a good game? All right?

1488
01:35:50.319 --> 01:35:53.399
That does it for the news.
I'm handing the show back over to

1489
01:35:53.560 --> 01:35:57.399
Janachoa, who's running this joint.
I'm going to take it and it needs

1490
01:35:57.479 --> 01:36:00.680
to needs to It needs to be
aired out real quick. It smells like

1491
01:36:00.760 --> 01:36:06.800
cigarettes for some reason. Uh.
But so it's like that fucker. All

1492
01:36:06.880 --> 01:36:12.159
right, we're gonna go to break
now emails after this. He really does

1493
01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:17.680
want to fuck that nut, doesn't
he? He does. I'm looking,

1494
01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:20.239
I'm I'm looking at Pano three.
I just look at it right now,

1495
01:36:20.680 --> 01:36:24.840
and like she's black and white just
like piano ps. That's such a stretch.

1496
01:36:26.800 --> 01:36:29.880
Maybe we do this tomorrow, Okay, Oh, I'll play Piano three.

1497
01:36:30.319 --> 01:36:33.800
Is the sound website piano heavy?
Is there any other indication there's only

1498
01:36:33.840 --> 01:36:36.159
one way to figure it out.
Yeah, we'll play it. We'll play

1499
01:36:36.199 --> 01:36:39.720
it on the site and then we'll
and then we'll put it. We'll come

1500
01:36:39.760 --> 01:36:41.760
to a judgment, Well, we'll
come to do it to a decision.

1501
01:36:41.800 --> 01:36:45.359
There's just no way. There's just
no way, there is no way,

1502
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:50.600
Like, why is it so impossible
to piano? It's even just the wordplay

1503
01:36:50.680 --> 01:36:55.720
part of it is a stretch.
No, No, I think it's there.

1504
01:36:56.000 --> 01:37:00.439
Absolutely not. If it is,
say the name fast Dan PN three,

1505
01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:10.000
that's not oh so slow's ever set
piano surgery. It hurts the talk

1506
01:37:10.079 --> 01:37:13.279
fast. I get it, I
get it. Giant bomb dot com is

and I read all of them because
I have to unsubscribe to a lot of

1513
01:37:38.359 --> 01:37:45.039
lists. First email comes from DW. They write in about the PS two.

1514
01:37:46.239 --> 01:37:50.640
DW writs, Hello, Bombinos,
my eleven year old nephew wants to

1515
01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:55.199
get a PS two for Christmas.
Well, I still have mine, cool

1516
01:37:55.279 --> 01:37:59.199
kid. Most of my games are
kind of hard to find. Jerrpg's and

1517
01:37:59.319 --> 01:38:01.600
I don't think that would be his
style. So what ps two games would

1518
01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:06.239
you get an eleven year old boy
in twenty twenty four extra info his favorite

1519
01:38:06.239 --> 01:38:10.720
band is Nirvana and he has start
to play guitar. My picks turna Man

1520
01:38:11.319 --> 01:38:15.760
joan uh Tony Hawk three four in
Underground since I think he would like see

1521
01:38:15.840 --> 01:38:19.600
soundtracks. Those are incredible choices.
Also, an eleven year old middle yar

1522
01:38:19.640 --> 01:38:24.600
Solid two Sons of Liberty. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

1523
01:38:24.840 --> 01:38:29.720
yeah, I mean definitely like definitely
the first Jack in Dexter for sure,

1524
01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:31.800
and think the sly Cooper games in
the rection. Got a War one on

1525
01:38:31.880 --> 01:38:38.680
two? Oh what, I'll be
good. You're just just slightly slightly higher

1526
01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:41.279
age, and I think is appropriate. Damn fall stuff. There's a sex

1527
01:38:41.399 --> 01:38:45.600
mini game in God of War,
but there's nipples. You would not show

1528
01:38:45.600 --> 01:38:48.359
an eleven year old just breast.
I was definitely at eleven, I was

1529
01:38:48.600 --> 01:38:53.359
nothing but our and adult like combat
and you know, yeah, but Daniel,

1530
01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:55.319
we're on the internet. You have
to say I would not do that.

1531
01:38:55.399 --> 01:38:57.920
Real quick for me, just say
I would not showed eleven year old

1532
01:38:58.000 --> 01:39:00.720
breast please, well no, no, But if I was an eleven year

1533
01:39:00.760 --> 01:39:05.840
old boy, yes, I did, yes, same the same here,

1534
01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:11.319
Yes, Thomas, that's another good
one. Chat, thank you your nephew.

1541
01:39:39.199 --> 01:39:41.960
play Grand Theft. Come on,
I was eleven when I played the first

1542
01:39:42.000 --> 01:39:48.920
Grand Theft. You could play when
the recommends like five thousand p S games,

1543
01:39:48.960 --> 01:39:54.039
We can recommend him ones that don't
have hookers and drugs, maximos to

01:39:57.279 --> 01:40:04.680

01:40:04.840 --> 01:40:10.359
yeah, back down, here comes
the pain nb A triple NBA Street.

1546
01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:16.560
Oh we played that one time?
Downhill, Domination, Amplitude and Frequency or

1547
01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:24.920
just guitar hero even those are the
Uh? Should we just games tomorrow instead?

1548
01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:27.960
Grow? We will do it.
We can do one p S two

1549
01:40:28.000 --> 01:40:31.199
GameCube generation stream Dan. You don't
want to play the p S two version

1550
01:40:31.279 --> 01:40:36.359
of long Stuff. It's fine.
I reviewed it. I remember saying like

1551
01:40:36.399 --> 01:40:40.159
this, I prefer the game won, But yes, the PS two one

1552
01:40:40.199 --> 01:40:45.600
is totally fine. Bully x Men
Legends to Ship. I want to get

1553
01:40:46.600 --> 01:40:55.199
mark of Cree six hundred games on
it from ets is three hundred dollars.

1554
01:40:56.760 --> 01:41:00.479
I appreciate you not saying the bouncer. I agree the bouncer. First thing

1555
01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:06.479
he said, Yeah, I was
probably looking at by games. Uh no,

1556
01:41:06.640 --> 01:41:13.239
don't play the best play god it's
terrible. Which wants the one with

1557
01:41:13.760 --> 01:41:15.279
the Mortal Kombat like puzzle fighter clone? Is that the same? That might

1558
01:41:15.319 --> 01:41:20.960
be deception have a ton of mini
game stuff? Yeah, godhamn moded PS

1559
01:41:21.000 --> 01:41:24.840
two. I was just thinking that
grub like, because I've got all these

1560
01:41:24.920 --> 01:41:27.439
games, it would be nice to
just have a modded PS two with everything

1561
01:41:27.479 --> 01:41:30.159
on a hard drive. Yeah.
Then that's that's the way I would go

1562
01:41:30.199 --> 01:41:31.680
if I were to like get back
into like original hardware, you know,

1563
01:41:31.760 --> 01:41:35.039
in a big way, I would
just be getting ever drives and modded systems

1564
01:41:35.079 --> 01:41:39.640
that have everything on them. I
did. That's my Dreamcast and my game

1565
01:41:39.720 --> 01:41:41.560
Cuban. It was awesome, but
every time I play out the PS two

1566
01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:43.800
one, it's like that's I think, like soldering is involved or something,

1567
01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:45.560
right, So I'm just like,
yeah, buy one of these offs.

1568
01:41:45.640 --> 01:41:49.399
Who gives a ship run is good? Pac Men World two is actually a

1569
01:41:49.479 --> 01:41:53.239
very good ice combats on there.
I get it today by paying seventy five

1570
01:41:53.279 --> 01:41:58.439
dollars if I used Klarna. Oh
okay, that's a lot of good PS

1571
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:00.079
two. I definitely think though,
for eleven year old like Jack and Dex

1572
01:42:00.119 --> 01:42:03.560
are one Wretched and Clanks, the
Sly Coopers are going to be your best

1573
01:42:04.319 --> 01:42:10.840
dark Cloud too, that I need
to play Dark Clubs. It was Rogue

1574
01:42:10.880 --> 01:42:14.479
Galaxy good. I never played that. I like, not as much as

1575
01:42:15.199 --> 01:42:18.000
Dark Cloud. But Rope, Yeah, you got to play Rope Galaxy sometimes.

1576
01:42:18.079 --> 01:42:23.079
Auto Modelista. Perhaps I've been trying
to get that for GameCube. Did

1577
01:42:23.119 --> 01:42:26.399
I ever get it? I thought
you gonna no, Maybe you just mentioned

1578
01:42:26.439 --> 01:42:29.560
it. No, I got it. It's over there, all right.

1579
01:42:29.600 --> 01:42:31.840
I gotta play it still games I
need to play still. It's bad when

1580
01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:36.199
you buy something you forget now like
the same. I think I got that

1581
01:42:36.279 --> 01:42:43.600
the same day as Cube before God
got in the Shadow there a little bit

1582
01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:47.039
as a bridesmaid huh the best hitcher
honestly, I think is they already named

1583
01:42:47.039 --> 01:42:51.079
it themselves. Tony Hawk like three
specifically, I think like he had his

1584
01:42:51.159 --> 01:42:55.640
age so well, do you think
it'd be worth it to get his eleven

1585
01:42:55.720 --> 01:42:59.960
year old nephew Guitar Hero. Yeah, if he likes guitars that much,

1586
01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:04.720
there's gotta be enough Guitar Hero controllers
out there used that aren't very expensive,

1587
01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:08.760
and the game can't be that much. I'm sure Guitar Hero would be would

1588
01:43:08.800 --> 01:43:13.600
go over, well, uh be
a weird cool uncle and get them a

1589
01:43:13.680 --> 01:43:17.279
DDR pad. Yeah. DDR is
great. Yeah. I could just never

1590
01:43:17.720 --> 01:43:20.800
feel good on those home DDR pads. It would just slide all over.

1591
01:43:20.840 --> 01:43:24.560
That's how I learn, so I
got used to it. Yeah, I

1592
01:43:24.640 --> 01:43:28.039
could just never figure it out.
I never got into DDR because I That's

1593
01:43:28.039 --> 01:43:30.800
why I was always playing Sambade and
Mega. Yeah, I was playing.

1594
01:43:30.039 --> 01:43:35.840
I imported Guitar Freaks for my PlayStation
one, which was like the Japanese guitar

1595
01:43:35.960 --> 01:43:40.960
game that preceded Guitar Hero. I
remember when I first saw a preview for

1596
01:43:41.079 --> 01:43:44.680
Guitar Hero GameSpot, I was like, they're making a Guitar Freaks clone.

1597
01:43:44.800 --> 01:43:48.000
How trying to think if I played
DDR outside of that Mario one, and

1598
01:43:48.079 --> 01:43:50.319
I feel like I must have done
it on the site at some point,

1599
01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:54.640
But I might be thinking of just
playing out we go a DDR stream tomorrow.

1600
01:43:54.840 --> 01:43:57.960
Oh god, I just got a
pad right there, he's ready and

1601
01:43:58.000 --> 01:44:00.279
I could plug it in my computer
and I have like that d you are

1602
01:44:00.119 --> 01:44:04.479
app basically where you can just have
any song from all that? Yeah,

1603
01:44:04.560 --> 01:44:09.279
I have a can you do?
It's a small world? I have done.

1604
01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:12.079
It's a small world. Hell yeah, I did a bunch of the

1605
01:44:12.119 --> 01:44:15.720
Disney ones because the kids wanted to
play. Do they have Creed? I

1606
01:44:15.239 --> 01:44:17.520
listen. If you needre i'nna get
your Creed? All right? Do you

1607
01:44:17.560 --> 01:44:21.239
want to be taken hired? Do
you want to show your newborn son everything?

1608
01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:24.359
I just want my arms wide open? You know, look at this

1609
01:44:24.439 --> 01:44:28.560
photograph. No that's not them,
Jason, you can still look at the

1610
01:44:28.600 --> 01:44:32.880
photograph. Next email comes from Alex
from Colorado. Hey, Bombadier's The subject

1611
01:44:32.920 --> 01:44:36.399
read want to feel old? The
other day I saw someone say that they

1612
01:44:36.399 --> 01:44:42.760
were feeling nostalgic for Undertail. How
fuck you? I was about to rebut

1613
01:44:42.840 --> 01:44:45.880
that Undertail is hardly old enough for
nostalgia. But then I realized it came

1614
01:44:45.920 --> 01:44:50.800
out nine years ago, meaning you
played Undertail when you were ten, you

1615
01:44:50.840 --> 01:44:56.479
would potentially be in college. Now
that's fucked up. Yeah, story going.

1616
01:44:57.600 --> 01:45:00.359
While I'm being crushed under the treads
of time, I thought I would

1617
01:45:00.359 --> 01:45:02.560
share existential dread. Hope you all
have a swell day. Alex from Colorado,

1618
01:45:02.600 --> 01:45:05.720
PS. Sometimes I feel bad that
I live in a state with recreational

1619
01:45:05.760 --> 01:45:10.439
marijuana and don't partake myself. Is
that weird? Nah? No, I

1620
01:45:10.680 --> 01:45:12.800
like, say, state where coffee
is legal and he doesn't drink that.

1621
01:45:13.079 --> 01:45:15.079
So yeah, it's fine. Now
you're doing a good thing. You're going

1622
01:45:15.159 --> 01:45:16.920
to get to go to heady,
right, Yeah, you're not sinning.

1623
01:45:17.119 --> 01:45:20.319
Yeah. I was thinking about how, like, you know, my cutoff

1624
01:45:20.560 --> 01:45:27.000
for like retro is like I don't
consider three sixty and beyond retro. And

1625
01:45:27.079 --> 01:45:29.520
then I realized to change some day. But that's the thing. I realized

1626
01:45:29.520 --> 01:45:32.359
that like there was almost around the
same period of time between like when I

1627
01:45:32.439 --> 01:45:35.800
was playing three sixty in college,
I remember like the ne s was the

1628
01:45:35.840 --> 01:45:40.479
most retro thing I could think,
you know, and now it's like between

1629
01:45:40.640 --> 01:45:43.960
like the three sixties pretty much as
old now as the ans was when the

1630
01:45:44.000 --> 01:45:46.079
three sixty was out, which is
it is fucking nuts to think about,

1631
01:45:46.840 --> 01:45:50.640
jeezus. Yeah, so like hey
no, like yeah, like what would

1632
01:45:50.680 --> 01:45:58.000
be like a big Xbox three sixty
early game Dark zero cameo two? Yeah,

1633
01:45:58.239 --> 01:46:00.720
yeah, like Call of Duty two
is as old now as like super

1634
01:46:00.760 --> 01:46:05.600
Market Brothers was. Wow, it's
dead right, so weird, Like yeah,

1635
01:46:05.840 --> 01:46:10.760
ten years used to be so denstin
essentially all like Medical gar Solid one

1636
01:46:10.840 --> 01:46:14.399
through four came out in a ten
year window, wow, and like Medical

1637
01:46:14.520 --> 01:46:17.439
Solid four was treating Metgarsolid one as
like this ancient nostalgic thing, right,

1638
01:46:17.920 --> 01:46:20.720
And now like now ten years is
just like how long it's going to take

1639
01:46:20.760 --> 01:46:26.079
for most of these big franchises in
between installments, right, Like it was

1640
01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:30.159
like seven or eight years between Zelda's
these days. So it's just it used

1641
01:46:30.199 --> 01:46:32.319
to just be like oh, after
so and many years, it's it's retro,

1642
01:46:32.479 --> 01:46:35.960
and like it's changed for so many
reasons, like you know, the

1643
01:46:36.079 --> 01:46:40.920
diminishing returns of technology and just how
long it takes games to get made.

1644
01:46:41.359 --> 01:46:45.359
But on that note, you know
Dead Rising now being what almost twenty years

1645
01:46:45.359 --> 01:46:49.840
old, I realized I fucking loved
Dead Rising, and I watched that trailer

1646
01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:53.239
for the remake, and I'm like, you know what, I am way

1647
01:46:53.560 --> 01:46:57.520
in the mood right now for a
new Dead Rising same here, especially remake

1648
01:46:57.560 --> 01:46:59.960
of the first one. It's been
long enough. I haven't touched that game

1649
01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:02.119
in fucking almost twenty years. Yeah, that's gonna rule. I'm also in

1650
01:47:02.159 --> 01:47:04.439
the mood for that. Oh,
I'm very excited for that. The tone

1651
01:47:04.560 --> 01:47:08.760
is amazing of those games. Yeah, I like, I'm with you,

1652
01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:11.279
Dan for a while. I'm like, that's my cutoff is like three sixty

1653
01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:13.359
PS three, But it's like starting
to get there, Like, no,

1654
01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:17.760
something that's up is definitely kind of
retro. Now Dead Rising one is pretty

1655
01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:21.439
retro at this point. Three sixty
and Wii and PS three is my cutoff

1656
01:47:21.479 --> 01:47:25.560
for retro collecting. And I think
I'm gonna keep it that way because well,

1657
01:47:25.600 --> 01:47:27.880
first of all, that's also around
the time where you start moving more

1658
01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:30.920
into digital stuff, and I don't
have nostligia for like, oh, holding

1659
01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:32.760
this physical copy of this PS four
game. No, I probably downloaded it,

1660
01:47:32.880 --> 01:47:35.680
you know. Plus plus all the
Xbox three sixties and PS three is

1661
01:47:35.720 --> 01:47:40.000
broke anyway, so what are we
gonna do? Right, They're all destroyed?

1662
01:47:40.640 --> 01:47:45.840
Next email, h is there?
Request for help from Brian and Westerville,

1663
01:47:45.960 --> 01:47:49.239
Ohio. Hey, dudes, I
think contemplating picking up a retro handheld

1664
01:47:49.279 --> 01:47:55.199
gaming device where I could put all
my incredibly legitimate games game backups from older

1665
01:47:55.239 --> 01:47:58.680
systems. But every time I look
at purchasing one, I'm barraged by a

1666
01:47:58.720 --> 01:48:01.159
list of consoles with very stats and
abilities. What one is right for me?

1667
01:48:01.600 --> 01:48:05.560
And Bernick sells twenty one types of
handhelds with different internals that are only

1668
01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:09.600
divided up by a giant list of
texts? Do we just pick up a

1669
01:48:09.600 --> 01:48:13.239
steam Deck instead? Do I pick
up their version? Their version of a

1670
01:48:13.279 --> 01:48:15.159
Steam Deck? Duds? I love
some help if you got ideas, Thanks

1671
01:48:15.199 --> 01:48:18.439
a bunch, Brian and Westernville,
Ohio said from my desk during work hours,

1672
01:48:19.600 --> 01:48:25.279
I went to westerl South. Hello
from a fellow Westervil person. God,

1673
01:48:25.359 --> 01:48:30.039
yeah, grab this. This is
something we're becoming increasingly knowledgeable about.

1674
01:48:30.439 --> 01:48:33.159
Yes, right. The first thing
is don't overthink it. Yes, they

1675
01:48:33.199 --> 01:48:36.319
sell a million different devices, Find
the one that looks good to you,

1676
01:48:36.479 --> 01:48:43.920
and then double check with external resources. Retro gamecore, retro dodo go to

1677
01:48:44.000 --> 01:48:46.439
their list and make sure that the
device you're looking at is relatively recent.

1678
01:48:46.720 --> 01:48:50.960
You can cross reference the mode,
model number and stuff like that, but

1679
01:48:51.239 --> 01:48:56.600
they reuse the same internals basically on
a lot of their devices, Like the

1680
01:48:56.680 --> 01:49:00.560
last four and Bernick devices have all
used the same ship set, so you're

1681
01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:04.359
getting basically the same thing in a
different form factor. So emphasize the form

1682
01:49:04.439 --> 01:49:06.840
factor and make sure it could play
the games you want to play. And

1683
01:49:08.279 --> 01:49:10.479
you're not gonna be able to do
that by going the Amberdick's website, Go

1684
01:49:10.640 --> 01:49:13.560
go to Retro Game Corps, and
also like decide how much work you want

1685
01:49:13.600 --> 01:49:15.479
to put into because like I grab, I know you and I are freaked

1686
01:49:15.479 --> 01:49:19.640
about configuring everything and making just everything
Like I'm losing my luster for that though.

1687
01:49:19.680 --> 01:49:21.439
I'm like I'm at a point where
I'm like I kind of just want

1688
01:49:21.479 --> 01:49:24.239
things to just work when I get
it. I can't tell you how many

1689
01:49:24.279 --> 01:49:27.159
times I've looked through like a folder
of like any S games and being like,

1690
01:49:27.159 --> 01:49:29.800
all right, listen, just the
US releases and just this and not

1691
01:49:29.880 --> 01:49:30.520
these, and so like, dude, like, if you do like a

1692
01:49:30.520 --> 01:49:32.439
Steam deck, yeah you can do
a lot with it, but you do

1693
01:49:32.640 --> 01:49:34.880
need to like you're gonna have to
watch some YouTube videos. It's not that

1694
01:49:35.079 --> 01:49:39.279
hard to do. You just follow
instructions basically. But a lot of these

1695
01:49:39.319 --> 01:49:42.199
things you buy and they come loaded
up with a lot of stumber deck that

1696
01:49:42.239 --> 01:49:45.720
specifically comes likely around six hundred games
or something like that. But it cracks

1697
01:49:45.720 --> 01:49:47.079
me up because like I got that
sp one and I was looking through everything,

1698
01:49:47.199 --> 01:49:49.159
and it's like, yeah, it's
got a lot, But then like

1699
01:49:49.239 --> 01:49:53.520
any like no Marios, no,
Zelda's, no, Donkey Kong's no,

1700
01:49:53.760 --> 01:49:58.399
like certain companies that might be litigious, they're not on there. But every

1701
01:49:58.399 --> 01:50:01.720
economy capcom Sega you can imagine loaded
to the gills. But yeah, so

1702
01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:03.960
I mean, but in that case, if you buy something that has a

1703
01:50:04.039 --> 01:50:06.720
lot and you just need you just
want, you know, your favorite Marios

1704
01:50:06.760 --> 01:50:10.239
or whatever, it's easy enough to
get a round. The foo is already

1705
01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:12.880
there. It's already set up.
Now that said, you can get even

1706
01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:16.439
more of these devices by going and
finding your own uh finding the custom made

1707
01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:19.880
oss and stuff like that that exist
and are better in some ways. But

1708
01:50:20.039 --> 01:50:23.600
I haven't done that on my sp
because again, I just got it.

1709
01:50:23.680 --> 01:50:25.880
It works, It has a lot
of games I want, Like Dan said,

1710
01:50:26.119 --> 01:50:28.720
it does, it's missing a few
things, but I just grab those

1711
01:50:28.920 --> 01:50:31.399
throw them on there real quick and
I'm good to go. H But if

1712
01:50:31.439 --> 01:50:35.079
you're trying not to overthink this,
Ambernick, just pick one that looks cool

1713
01:50:35.079 --> 01:50:38.319
to you and you're probably gonna be
fine. Yeah. And then it's just

1714
01:50:38.439 --> 01:50:41.000
like lots lots of little things where
it's like, Okay, there's game room

1715
01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:43.279
and then RA game here, and
you have to learn, like go to

1716
01:50:43.439 --> 01:50:45.800
ra a game because they have retro
arts. They all have their own weird

1717
01:50:45.880 --> 01:50:47.640
os, quirks and stuff that you
just figure out as it's not that hard

1718
01:50:47.680 --> 01:50:53.119
really like that. That's yep.
The RA game is RetroArch and that's usually

1719
01:50:53.199 --> 01:50:56.880
it's just yeah, it's you're gonna
have to experiment once you have it a

1720
01:50:56.960 --> 01:51:00.239
little bit. But yeah, it
ends up just working for the most part.

1721
01:51:00.319 --> 01:51:08.359
Yep. Next email comes from Jeremiah. Oh, we're just talking about

1722
01:51:08.359 --> 01:51:11.600
the Steam deck for a little bit, but they ask for some hot recks.

1723
01:51:11.960 --> 01:51:15.079
Hey, Bombers, I recently got
a Steam deck and I'm absolutely loving

1724
01:51:15.119 --> 01:51:17.399
it. I can't believe I didn't
get the sooner. Do do you have

1725
01:51:17.800 --> 01:51:21.600
any favorite games that you prefer playing
on the deck instead of a traditional PC.

1726
01:51:21.840 --> 01:51:25.239
Yes, so far, my favorite
games are Dead Cells, Dretch,

1727
01:51:25.399 --> 01:51:29.199
EMU Deck bonus question. Do any
of you use a DOC to connect your

1728
01:51:29.199 --> 01:51:30.520
steam Deck to your TV? If
you do, what kind of DOC do

1729
01:51:30.600 --> 01:51:33.039
you use? What's your favorite controller
you use it with it? Love the

1730
01:51:33.079 --> 01:51:38.479
show? Jeremiah from Michigan, Yes
to all this stuff. Yes, so

1731
01:51:39.079 --> 01:51:41.479
Hollow Night, you know, I
know I was playing in bed for a

1732
01:51:41.520 --> 01:51:43.840
long time just because I was recovering, But like now that I'm not,

1733
01:51:44.119 --> 01:51:46.000
it's like I still prefer like that's
my game where it's like I'll have her

1734
01:51:46.439 --> 01:51:48.359
or a pay per view or something
and I'll just be playing a Hollow Night

1735
01:51:48.439 --> 01:51:50.840
on the steam Deck and that's That's
a great way to play it. It's

1736
01:51:50.880 --> 01:51:54.520
a good second screen kind of game
because you can, you know, if

1737
01:51:54.520 --> 01:51:58.000
you're not mainlining stuff, there's just
a lot of exploration to do. Yep,

1738
01:51:58.119 --> 01:52:00.479
yep. And then the DOC thing. I don't use too often,

1739
01:52:00.600 --> 01:52:02.520
but we've recently started. I have
one, and they're not that expensive.

1740
01:52:02.520 --> 01:52:05.680
I think it's like forty bucks or
something, and you can get like a

1741
01:52:05.920 --> 01:52:10.920
cheap dock and it'll just work.
It's just USBC videos, So don't spend

1742
01:52:10.920 --> 01:52:13.600
too much on the dock. Yeah. Yeah, And we have found use

1743
01:52:13.640 --> 01:52:15.840
cases for that obviously if you want
to travel and hook up to a hotel,

1744
01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:18.720
you can. But like you know, Bonk has her gaming PC up

1745
01:52:18.800 --> 01:52:21.800
like in her office for like work
stuff, but sometimes he just wants to

1746
01:52:21.800 --> 01:52:24.640
play on the big screen dow in
the living room and it's like, oh,

1747
01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:27.119
okay, well here, just log
onto your Steam account and your Steam

1748
01:52:27.119 --> 01:52:29.199
deck, throw it in this dock
and it plays it just fine on the

1749
01:52:29.239 --> 01:52:31.640
TV. Yep. So I'm glad
this question got asked because this is one

1750
01:52:31.640 --> 01:52:34.920
thing I didn't mention what we've been
playing because I'm like, it's mostly older

1751
01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:40.079
stuff. But I use the dock
that I have basically for the first time

1752
01:52:40.159 --> 01:52:43.279
really for anything other than like setting
up ROMs and stuff like that. We

1753
01:52:43.680 --> 01:52:45.239
were traveling, knew a bunch of
family we're going to be in town,

1754
01:52:45.399 --> 01:52:49.840
and I just basically took the kid
that lives at the house had a switch,

1755
01:52:50.159 --> 01:52:53.840
so we just unplugged the cables for
that. I plug that into the

1756
01:52:53.880 --> 01:52:56.720
steam deck dock, put the Steam
deck in, and we were playing,

1757
01:52:57.239 --> 01:53:00.239
you know, a bunch of the
jackbox games and stuff like that. We

1758
01:53:00.279 --> 01:53:02.159
did an animal party or party Animals, whatever that one is called, and

1759
01:53:02.560 --> 01:53:06.239
keep ho with a seven year old, I just showed them the fart button

1760
01:53:06.279 --> 01:53:10.520
and it was just like we basically
accomplished nothing after that, and it was

1761
01:53:10.560 --> 01:53:14.399
great. It worked really, really
really well. There was a couple of

1762
01:53:14.479 --> 01:53:18.039
hiccups with some of the controllers not
functioning exactly right, but I was surprised.

1763
01:53:18.039 --> 01:53:20.720
I'm like, this is just such
a good experience. They've really updated

1764
01:53:20.760 --> 01:53:24.840
it to kind of just make it
very seamless. So I was of the

1765
01:53:24.880 --> 01:53:26.960
opinion like, well, no,
I have a computer, I'm probably never

1766
01:53:27.039 --> 01:53:29.039
going to use the steam Deck for
that stuff. But it's like, when

1767
01:53:29.039 --> 01:53:31.159
I'm traveling, I'm going to take
the steam Deck probably with me anyway.

1768
01:53:31.600 --> 01:53:34.680
Why not just take one more little
thing instead of like a whole other like

1769
01:53:34.840 --> 01:53:39.479
gaming laptop. And it just it
worked really really well. And then I

1770
01:53:40.000 --> 01:53:42.199
if a game can run on the
Steam Deck, I want to play it

1771
01:53:42.239 --> 01:53:44.960
on the Steam Deck or one of
these other handheld devices that I have because

1772
01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:47.000
of work, because it's just so
much more convenient for me. So I

1773
01:53:47.079 --> 01:53:51.119
played all of elden Ring basically on
the Steam Deck and was zero issue.

1774
01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:56.039
And yeah, so I when a
game does it run on steam Deck these

1775
01:53:56.159 --> 01:53:58.560
days, that usually means I'm probably
not going to be able to stick with

1776
01:53:58.680 --> 01:54:00.640
it. So that's where I'm at, imprising how good Eldenaring runs on that.

1777
01:54:01.399 --> 01:54:04.079
Yeah, but I was hearing like
horror stories about the DLC and it's

1778
01:54:04.119 --> 01:54:05.720
like, well, no, I'm
playing. It's fine. It's like,

1779
01:54:05.840 --> 01:54:09.680
Okay, there's a couple of things, like the controls stopped working, so

1780
01:54:09.760 --> 01:54:12.239
there's these bugs, but other than
that, it just runs really well on

1781
01:54:12.319 --> 01:54:17.880
there. Any RPG fantastic on this
device, oh yeah, like visual novel

1782
01:54:17.920 --> 01:54:28.319
style games perfect titled Blatro this the
Steam Deck, BLAI Vampire Survivors. God,

1783
01:54:28.359 --> 01:54:31.239
there's so many, it really is. I was like most impressed by

1784
01:54:31.279 --> 01:54:34.319
Ace Combat seven on steam Deck.
I was like, this is running really

1785
01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:36.319
well, and this is like,
in my mind it's like still like a

1786
01:54:36.359 --> 01:54:40.520
real big boy game, like never
on the switch, right, So like

1787
01:54:40.640 --> 01:54:43.840
eight Combat seven on steam Deck was
really cool to me. That's a game

1788
01:54:43.880 --> 01:54:45.960
you'll find a game of games.
I'm playing a season of Super Mega Baseball

1789
01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:48.439
four on there right now, like
that sort of thing. The game that

1790
01:54:48.560 --> 01:54:51.239
really impressed me on the Steam Deck. I know, we just talked about

1791
01:54:51.279 --> 01:54:57.119
elden Ring running really well, but
Armored Cores, yeah, performing super well

1792
01:54:57.159 --> 01:54:59.920
in that as well. Oh my
god. I gotta like the Armor course

1793
01:55:00.039 --> 01:55:01.439
six second. It was so fun. Damn, I want to replay it.

1794
01:55:01.479 --> 01:55:04.159
I didn't get I didn't like replay
it to like get all the Indians.

1795
01:55:04.319 --> 01:55:06.359
I'm like, no, I really
did just play through it once,

1796
01:55:06.399 --> 01:55:11.039
but I loved it me too.
We got a bunch of lovely emails,

1797
01:55:11.079 --> 01:55:13.800
and I love and appreciate all of
them. And I love it and appreciate

1798
01:55:13.880 --> 01:55:17.279
everyone that sends an email to the
Giant BombCast once again. That email addresses

1799
01:55:17.319 --> 01:55:21.079
BombCast at giant bomb dot com.
Got a bunch of miscellaneous things about like

1800
01:55:21.720 --> 01:55:27.199
collections and mods and Elden Ring and
Nintendo Live. Sure, go to it.

1801
01:55:27.600 --> 01:55:30.800
Yeah, it's fun. It's oh
god, I copied the whole email

1802
01:55:30.920 --> 01:55:34.520
instead of the fucking one second.
All right. Last email from the show

1803
01:55:35.920 --> 01:55:42.119
comes from Anthony in Australia. They
write in about seasons. What are seasons?

1804
01:55:42.960 --> 01:55:45.439
Whatever? You guys? Note a
release window is a season. I

1805
01:55:45.560 --> 01:55:48.880
have to do mental arithmetic to figure
out what that converts to. In Southern

1806
01:55:48.960 --> 01:55:55.560
Hemisphere terms, fall equals autumn minus
sixth, autumn to six months equals spring

1807
01:55:55.800 --> 01:55:59.479
equals octoberish. Right, anyway,
when is the last time you were upside

1808
01:55:59.520 --> 01:56:02.279
down? Anthony from in Australia.
I'm gonna I'm taking a break from being

1809
01:56:02.359 --> 01:56:06.479
upside down currently because if I like
bend over to like tie my shoes,

1810
01:56:06.560 --> 01:56:10.479
or if I'm even remote, like
all this loose goo in my skull right

1811
01:56:10.520 --> 01:56:13.760
now, like all these blood clots
and everything just like go up in my

1812
01:56:13.840 --> 01:56:16.479
brain and feel real bad. Yeah, I could just feel it all this

1813
01:56:16.560 --> 01:56:19.520
ship. There's just like a bunch
of Nickelodeon ghack in my head and if

1814
01:56:19.560 --> 01:56:23.560
it shifts around too much, I
just feel it all slide up. You

1815
01:56:23.600 --> 01:56:27.479
know. I want to be more
like Nickelodeon. Foam bloom looam floam.

1816
01:56:27.880 --> 01:56:32.720
Yeah, a little more integrity,
yeah foam never. I hope to never

1817
01:56:32.800 --> 01:56:35.760
be upside down again. I love
being upside down usually, Like I remember

1818
01:56:35.880 --> 01:56:41.279
now, I wanted more upside down
in Disney World. Like you guys realize

1819
01:56:41.319 --> 01:56:44.640
the questions asking have you ever been
to the Southern Hemisphere? Oh no,

1820
01:56:47.600 --> 01:56:51.079
okay, we could do a bit. I'm all for doing a bit,

1821
01:56:51.159 --> 01:56:57.319
but I was just wondering if you
guys wanted to answer nowhere. I did

1822
01:56:57.439 --> 01:56:59.720
think about that because like I traveled
a bit, but it's like man never

1823
01:56:59.800 --> 01:57:01.479
been on like that half of the
planet. I know there's like way less

1824
01:57:01.560 --> 01:57:04.399
like land. There is way less
lands down there when you actually look at

1825
01:57:04.439 --> 01:57:08.239
it, is it kind of like
it is I kind of feel like a

1826
01:57:08.319 --> 01:57:10.560
coward where I'm like, the one
place in Southern Harmster I want to go

1827
01:57:10.680 --> 01:57:15.760
is Australia that I'm most like where
I am already read. I would rather

1828
01:57:15.840 --> 01:57:17.880
go to like those those spiders.
And I guess there's a lot of spiders

1829
01:57:17.920 --> 01:57:21.840
in South America too, but that
spiders in Australia like get a lot more

1830
01:57:23.000 --> 01:57:25.920
headline. And I watched a Red
Phobia a lot as a kid, and

1831
01:57:26.319 --> 01:57:29.479
I don't know if I want to
go where big spiders are. Yeah,

1832
01:57:29.600 --> 01:57:32.920
that's that's very scary to me.
God. I used to work with a

1833
01:57:32.920 --> 01:57:38.920
bunch of Australians at MythBusters, Like
it was very weird. They tried making

1834
01:57:39.479 --> 01:57:43.760
Janza happen because they would take someone's
name and add z a to the end.

1835
01:57:44.600 --> 01:57:49.000
Okay, like we had like getting
norted by Australians Australian Norded. Yeah,

1836
01:57:49.359 --> 01:57:54.880
except they would take like maybe the
first two letters close to the first

1837
01:57:54.880 --> 01:57:57.960
two letters of your name and ad
so it wasn't jans it was Jazza.

1838
01:57:58.960 --> 01:58:08.239
It would be dad, Yeah you
Daza Grezza. Yeah, very yeah,

1839
01:58:08.600 --> 01:58:12.920
not great with unreal engine come track
a little bit. Went to the Southern

1840
01:58:13.000 --> 01:58:15.760
Hemisphere, but I just was at
the line. I went to Singapore,

1841
01:58:15.800 --> 01:58:19.520
which is like on the equator.
Basically, I don't know hemispheres. I

1842
01:58:19.520 --> 01:58:21.880
don't know the close. The closest
I may have got was I went to

1843
01:58:23.000 --> 01:58:27.239
Disney's Private Island on the CRIZ.
That might be the closest I've ever been

1844
01:58:27.760 --> 01:58:30.039
to the Southern Hemisphere. Yeah,
I don't think that's probably not in the

1845
01:58:30.119 --> 01:58:34.920
Southern hemis but it's closest I've been. That's kind of close, right,

1846
01:58:35.800 --> 01:58:44.840
Jamaica with Uncle Jesse, the rumors
by South America no referenced. Yeah,

1847
01:58:45.119 --> 01:58:49.159
yeah, that's that's closest. Yeah, okay, yeah, probably a couple

1848
01:58:49.239 --> 01:58:53.560
on her miles from the equator.
But yeah, fantastic, fantastic. Well

1849
01:58:53.680 --> 01:58:57.079
that about does it for e males. What do we got going on for

1850
01:58:57.279 --> 01:59:00.159
the rest of this week? Uh? Game as Mornings returns, grow up?

1851
01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:04.319
Yeah, back tomorrow, getting into
it. Fantastic, No blight club

1852
01:59:04.399 --> 01:59:10.520
tomorrow. We're figuring out we'll do
some fun stuff tomorrow. Yeah, assignments.

1853
01:59:10.520 --> 01:59:12.800
So you all have a great rest
of the week, I have my

1854
01:59:12.920 --> 01:59:18.560
sister's weddings, so upf this week
we're gonna try and have a BCR,

1855
01:59:18.640 --> 01:59:21.319
but you know, as you know, things will be up in the air.

1856
01:59:21.560 --> 01:59:27.760
I'm also gone next week going su
Japan. Sean, that's right.

1857
01:59:27.840 --> 01:59:29.880
Oh yeah, that's what I want
to hear about that. SHN just brought

1858
01:59:29.960 --> 01:59:33.119
up something good, uh, Middle
Year Scanling. Yes, this is something

1859
01:59:33.359 --> 01:59:36.680
I'm very excited. We were able
to just make happen very easily. Well

1860
01:59:36.760 --> 01:59:44.079
I didn't spend all hour, Sean. Yeah, but good work by everyone

1861
01:59:44.119 --> 01:59:45.000
involved on this. This is great. Yeah, it's just you know,

1862
01:59:45.239 --> 01:59:47.640
ever, I'm always excited about medle
Year, but it seems like there's more

1863
01:59:47.720 --> 01:59:51.600
Metal Year talk happening because of Delta
coming on. You know what. That's

1864
01:59:51.760 --> 01:59:55.960
I think one of the best things, uh, at least that I've worked

1865
01:59:56.000 --> 02:00:00.079
on personally at Giant Bom, and
it's been behind the paywall forever. So

1866
02:00:00.119 --> 02:00:00.880
I was like, well, fuck, we just we just put it all

1867
02:00:00.960 --> 02:00:03.159
up on YouTube. And I think
it was Sean's idea to all have him

1868
02:00:03.159 --> 02:00:08.000
as big ass fucking videos like Middle
Year five. The scale of five is

1869
02:00:08.000 --> 02:00:11.840
like forty three hours long or something
insane, So there is a playlist.

1870
02:00:11.880 --> 02:00:15.439
I'm sure we're getting links in the
chat here soon of all of middle Gear

1871
02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:18.319
Scale, including like the bonus episodes
the watching peace Walker, so the full

1872
02:00:18.399 --> 02:00:21.520

Liberty three is Snake Eater. If you

1873
02:00:21.560 --> 02:00:27.600
want to watch the entire series of
Drew Scanlon, who had never seen or

1874
02:00:27.680 --> 02:00:30.920
knew anything about metal Gear, kind
of being coached through it by by me.

1875
02:00:30.560 --> 02:00:33.920
It's it's a real, real fun
time. So check out that YouTube

link in the chat you can watch
all of metal Gear Scanlon for free.

1877
02:00:39.119 --> 02:00:43.920
I'd i'd like to do other stuff
too, but winn about fond memories of

1878
02:00:44.640 --> 02:00:48.760
stuff on the website. John Baum
starting sixteen this year and shouts out to

1879
02:00:48.840 --> 02:00:53.840
Tom Caswell. Tom Caaswell is helping
us lee, uh you know, go

1880
02:00:54.000 --> 02:00:59.359
down memory lane. So expect to
see on various socials, whether it's uh

1881
02:00:59.560 --> 02:01:04.199
TikTok, YouTube shorts, Instagram,
on Twitter, the staff and friends of

1882
02:01:04.279 --> 02:01:11.439
the staff, friends of the site
recounting their favorite memories across the website across

1883
02:01:11.560 --> 02:01:16.680
various times of giant bomb history and
gentlemen, what do we learn today?

1884
02:01:17.319 --> 02:01:19.920
We learned that getting older doesn't mean
you have to gamble your money away,

1885
02:01:20.000 --> 02:01:25.079
you can throw it ahead games.
Maybe you should get your face scooped out

1886
02:01:25.119 --> 02:01:28.279
so you can enjoy taco bell for
the first time. And maybe we should

1887
02:01:28.319 --> 02:01:32.840
respect Phantom Menace more than our own
current democracy. Someone should definitely bequeath all

1888
02:01:32.880 --> 02:01:36.840
of us a house. Beat the
meat attack. He Sacks is a fantastic

1889
02:01:36.920 --> 02:01:41.279
name, and I'm gonna name my
first child that. Also, we learned

1890
02:01:41.359 --> 02:01:45.159
to beat it fast. It's not
called spurt. And don't overthink handhelds.

1891
02:01:45.359 --> 02:01:48.159
Just get all of them. Get
one a month while you're at it.

1892
02:01:48.640 --> 02:01:54.159
And we also learned that Mike Manatti
does not love Raymond folks. That's what

1893
02:01:54.239 --> 02:01:57.840
we learned today. Oh no,
god, he keeps doing this thing.

1894
02:01:57.880 --> 02:02:00.119
I learned every week. I hate
the go ex alard. Know there're we

1895
02:02:00.199 --> 02:02:05.319
good folks. That is it for
the Giant BombCast. I won't see you

1896
02:02:05.439 --> 02:02:09.600
next week and I'll miss you,
but uh, these fine folks, these

1897
02:02:09.640 --> 02:02:12.920
fine gentlemen will be there. Uh. We got a budget of lovely stuff

1898
02:02:13.520 --> 02:02:15.319
gearing up on the website. Across
the board. I've been Shanning, he's

1899
02:02:15.359 --> 02:02:18.640
been Jeff, he's been Mike,
he's been Dan, and you have been

1900
02:02:18.800 --> 02:02:29.720
beautiful. See you next week,
everybody, I'm soliciting any last minute tips

1901
02:02:29.760 --> 02:02:32.279
for Japan apparently supposed to be stupid
hot. I'm not equipped for it.

1902
02:02:32.840 --> 02:02:42.199
