They're like full on twining 32 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.639 for audio listeners. For audio listeners, they both have a shirt. It's 33 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.360 like the metal Gear NYES cover, but instead of Snake, it is Samus 34 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.520 around you suit Samus. It's a very good, very good cover, and 35 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.400 it's just very Gear instead of metal gear. Very good. It's a very 36 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.479 good shirt. Looking up? Was that yetti joint? Yes? Yet he 37 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.560 was, Yeah, I can't get more exclusive club to anyone who has the 38 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.520 very Gear shirt. Exclusive only the people who were awake that day. Yeah, 39 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.000 couldn't be me, could not be me? Boys, How is it 40 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.680 going? I was here for the dump truck and then I decided I needed 41 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.199 to sleep and rest and look through all of this WrestleMania footie. How's how's 42 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.520 it going? How's it popping? It's good. I didn't give up on 43 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.479 as I had to give up on a YouTube video. It was like an 44 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.039 hour and like thirty minute video about first person shooters on the N sixty four, 45 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.280 and I somehow like felt disgusted and how to leave an hour like one 46 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.719 and fifteen minutes. You think at that point I would just be pot committed, 47 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.719 but the vibes were really off. I don't know how talking about what 48 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.080 was I don't know what what was the tear t here? What? Okay? 49 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.599 So, like, you know, so I was watching, like you 50 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.639 know, like I like to watch really long YouTube videos and this guy was 51 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.840 like, here, every shooter on N sixty four is like that sounds fun, 52 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.800 and like, you know, first he like he had some jabb at 53 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.759 like some old video game journalists from my game Pro and that's always a little 54 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.800 weird to me. These old YouTubers always like still have some vendetta against like 55 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.040 some guys game Pro review from years ago. That's a little bit of red 56 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.040 flag. But then like much later, it was like IGN and he was 57 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.480 like mad about like the review for some newer game or it was like it 58 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.360 was like the review was like negative. He's like, and that's back when 59 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:36.360 an IGN review used to mean something like them today either a lot of weird 60 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.959 sex chokes. And then just finally when I gave up, was I was 61 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.759 talking about tu Rok too. It was like and then Turak goes to the 62 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.600 Spirit Realm and there's a hot lady there. We all know what we were 63 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.639 thinking. It's just a zoom up on this N sixty four model with this 64 00:04:49.959 --> 00:05:00.959 sound effect. Cool while it's like done. That was the last thing I 65 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.399 was expecting. Oh my god, you know I've done cheeks? Clap? 66 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:11.319 Is that what he is trying to imply there? I know there's no no 67 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.800 form of it, a form of yeah, Oh my god, go the 68 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.199 fuck outside. Yeah, I mean it was a joke, I guess. 69 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.839 Sound was like, no, no, he's not. I was gonna give 70 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.279 you a hard time, Mike, but no, you're one percent. Vibes 71 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.480 are off. Yeah. At that point, I was just like, there's 72 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.160 fifteen minutes. But I was so populated to this video. I was like, 73 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:39.120 no, I'm out. Video game cheeks look much better now, Why 74 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.600 are you still obsessed with in sixty four based cheeks? Oh my god, 75 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.639 it's like that yeah, right where I like, ten years after Robocks came 76 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.240 out, it was like one of the most popular categories to sir to search 77 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.879 on, like adult websites and stuff like that. It's we just keep these 78 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.480 things with us forever at a certain point, So in sixty four cheeks, 79 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.560 I get it. Sometimes I want to like rescind a view from like yeah, 80 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.480 you know, it's like, hey, I don't want to keep this 81 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.920 time to them. I don't want the stat to be tracked. No point, 82 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.079 zeros are a one sense of ad revenue either. Yeah take that from 83 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.879 Yeah, yeah yeah, let me rewind the clock there. Boys. Turns 84 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.720 out there's a lot of wrestling happening, and I'm not going to religate that 85 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:27.000 Dan and I went to Philly. Uh. I think Philadelphia broke Dan. 86 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.920 Honestly. I think it chewed them up and stomped them out. And I 87 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.439 think the vacate this podcast Championship it was. It was really sad. Yeah, 88 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.079 exactly. You know what, No, I'm not going to share that 89 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:46.040 story because might Yeah. Yeah, there's some some interesting wrestling media people around, 90 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.639 like, oh, okay, I have no idea who you are, 91 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.040 nor do I quite want to learn right now. Please put your flyers away 92 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.399 and your QR code. I don't I don't want to know QR codes. 93 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.160 That's fun. You should again every QR code you see at a wrestling event 94 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:06.800 that seems safe. Yep. You think there's a lot of hacking going on 95 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.879 at a wrestling event. I think there's a lot of poor security in general. 96 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.199 Yeah. Yeah, I think the people who would do that know that 97 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.240 there are people who would, you know, just throw caution to the win 98 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:24.279 there speaking, that's a very poor security. Last wrestling thing I swear today, 99 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:29.199 at least you know, the wrestle con was happening outside of WrestleMania proper 100 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.680 sure, and you had to buy like a three day pass to get in 101 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:39.879 and then additional photo ops with whoever ex superstars, ex wrestlers you wanted to, 102 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.920 and then Dan and I tried to get media badges for it last minute 103 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.319 the guy said to like, oh no, sorry, we can't do that 104 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.680 for you wrestling. You need to go buy some tickets over there. Dan 105 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.079 and I see the ticket booth and then we see the door to walk into 106 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.160 like the main show floor. Ish is all in a hotel. Dan and 107 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.480 I skip the line to buy tickets and we just walked straight in and just 108 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.720 flashed a miscellaneous lanyard from the WWE that just said media and uh, we 109 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.560 just got it and then walked around. That's great. I like this con. 110 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.399 I like this move this, I like I approve, just not like 111 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.839 you belong. It's fine, no one will stop you. This is yeah. 112 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.920 This is not the same as like cutting in line in the bathroom, 113 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.759 right, people shouldn't be sad about it because like, oh no, no, 114 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.920 no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And you know, 115 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.120 maybe to be frank, some wrestling fans need to be cut in line 116 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.759 to be honest. Yeah, you're probably right, uh speak about cutting in 117 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.600 line. Let's anyone to have any other bands before we get to the games. 118 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.600 Oh yeah, the thing that I brought up during the during the mite 119 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.440 check. So you know, I got my taxes done a little bit ago, 120 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.480 you know, matros By the deadline, a couple of issues I need 121 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.480 to solve there, but we got done Congress, and I certainly didn't get 122 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.039 a refund this year, but I have to pay less than I thought I 123 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.200 did, which is a nice little surprise. And you see, my stupid 124 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.799 lizard brain was like, well I'm paying last night I thought I would. 125 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.440 That's kind of like getting a refund, right, That's not how money works. 126 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.559 But that's where I'm at right now. So I kind of want to 127 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.960 treat myself to some nice because it is it is, you know, the 128 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.279 money I got on the bank there is, you know, it's money in 129 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.600 the bank now. So I can't, you know, treat myself to something 130 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.799 if I want. And so I'm kind of just looking at like some of 131 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.799 the tech and stuff that I've been wanting to pick up and well, one 132 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.559 of the things I brought up was Apple devices because Apple Vision not Apple Vision. 133 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.960 No no, hell no no no no, no no no. But 134 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.679 just like I haven't had any Apple device since the iPod Touch came out. 135 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.440 You know, I was in high school, like that was quite a while 136 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.399 ago. Now I was over a decade ago, and I don't know, 137 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.200 I was like, what if I just like tried one of the iPhones as 138 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.600 my next My myphone's getting a little bit older, Like if you know, 139 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.399 give secondhand iPhone, that might be interesting. So I'm like looking at that 140 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.120 and it reminded me of the state of gaming right now. Tie into the 141 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.440 podcast, because man, I was and Andrew just like the same thing at 142 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.639 this point. Oh yeah, it's being interesting several years ago. The differences 143 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.240 it's the same. That's go ahead. I'm sorry. I MVG just did 144 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.279 a video about that. I don't know if you saw that too, and 145 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.360 we're thinking about that, just like talking about what was special about consoles like 146 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.399 in that N sixty four era, and like how you know now it is 147 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.799 just that there's the you know, it really is the green one and the 148 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.399 blue one, right yep. Yeah, one sort of just agreed on the 149 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.399 best way to do things, and now there's no room for interesting things to 150 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.440 happen anymore exactly, which is why I'm always like, maybe they just get 151 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.480 an iPhone from my next phone, because like if they're kind of the same 152 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.480 thing at this point, well, one's got Apple Arcade and one doesn't. 153 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.559 So maybe I just subscribing the Google Play subscription thing, I know, and 154 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:56.399 I'm mooching off your family Planet get done a DL man. I signed into 155 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.840 my TV the r day, and so it's like one of these things is 156 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.559 not like the other. Yeah, and those other things I'm looking at just 157 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:11.080 like smaller things like PlayStation devices. So I'm always a big advocate for emulation 158 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.600 because you know, at this point, like rub mentioned I think last episode, 159 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.480 at this point, software emulators are basically the same thing as real hardware 160 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.919 from most systems. Some are a little funky, though, So I kind 161 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.360 of want to get like maybe a PS two to actually play OG games on, 162 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.279 and maybe a PS three because there's some funckiness there. Would you be 163 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.679 able to get the like how expensive are those PS three's that had the PS 164 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.639 one just also launch PS three? Yeah? Yeah, they're not that bad. 165 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.399 You come secondhand, especially if you get just the console, it can 166 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.279 be pretty cheap. The problem is those actually are starting to die and the 167 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.720 amount of work you'd have to put in it. Maybe is just better to 168 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:56.360 get a PS two Slim and a PS three Slim. And I'm a sucker 169 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.919 for limited edition consoles. I think, you know, just having a system 170 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.039 that you know has a unique colorway and everything that can be kind of cool. 171 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.399 So I'm looking at for the PS two. I kind of get it, 172 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.919 and I kind of want to just like hump these down organically, sort 173 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.279 of like what Mike is doing with his retro collection. We're like, I'll 174 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.000 go to a store someday and if I see it, that would be really 175 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:22.759 neat. But I want the pink PS two slim o Bright Did you say 176 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.279 a picture of this? Why do I have this in my brain right now? 177 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.159 I talked about it. I talked about the other day, like in 178 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.919 passing, but something about it, and just like the gaudiness of it. 179 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.200 I kind of Barbie pink. It is Barbie pink. If you look at 180 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.600 the small pink, if you look at the box, it's like Barbie font 181 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:46.799 the word pink man, oh god, how good bold it is. It's 182 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.919 really cool, Sean wouldn't be enough to get like a custom job or you 183 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.519 want the actual pink PS two Like, I don't care if it's like a 184 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.960 reproduction or anything. But the weird thing is not a lot of people are 185 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:01.200 making a PS two slim show they're doing for like the PS two fat because 186 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.440 those are easier to do soft model, and there's a lot more out there 187 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.320 of those. Yeah, yeah, exactly so I and they're not that expensive 188 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.080 to get the original, so maybe, yeah, I think that might be 189 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.480 why I just try to track down someday. And then the PS three I've 190 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.919 been looking at. There's a PS three slim, so just the regular slim 191 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:24.279 that is the black model, and then on top it has the final Fantasy 192 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.879 thirteen to two logo and lightning etched in pink. I'm like, maf I 193 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.039 get those two together, that'd become a cool combination. That'd be kind of 194 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.960 neat. It looks pretty sick. For a long time, I was like 195 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.480 at PS three Xtbox six, that's not really retro in the way I think 196 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.440 of it, and I finally, no, that's pretty retro, and that's 197 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.759 pretty retro those games feel old and like I a nostalgic and like I kind 198 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.759 of like do want to plug in a PS three at some point? Yeah? 199 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.080 Right, it's the launch for those systems is nineteen years ago. Right, 200 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.000 don't say that, Jeff Crouch. I'm bad at Math two thousand and 201 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.159 six. Okay, eighteen for for PS two then yet eighteen years yeah, 202 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.519 nineteen when it came out. Three sixty was one year, two decades. 203 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.679 Man, three six is gonna be twenty years. Perfect Dark zero is gonna 204 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.559 be twenty years in a year. Are we going to celebrate It's gonna be. 205 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.080 It's gonna be twenty years old before the next Perfect Dark comes out, 206 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.240 twenty years between Perfect Darks and then the how many time? How much time 207 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.399 was between that and Perfect Dark? Like original, like ten years not even 208 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.000 not even? Yeah? Perfect Dark was what two? Right? Okay, 209 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.960 what's the commit right now to a full play through a cameo on the anniversary 210 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:43.039 of the Okay, yeah, it's a million percent choose cameo over Perfect Dark 211 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:50.440 zero like conquer at this point, God, that's talking about p S Three's 212 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.720 just reminds me of when MythBusters was wrapping up. We were liquidating a lot 213 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.879 of stuff. Folks were able to take miscellaneous things from the office as I 214 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.519 was digging through the missile, any electronics, Like I took home a bucket 215 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.759 of Raspberry pies. Oh yeah. There was like a PS three unplugged and 216 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.159 I'm like, can I have this? And I opened it up and there's 217 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.000 like someone's personal pictures there, but it's no one on the crew, no 218 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.240 one from the crew that I remember had interacted with. And it was like 219 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.080 personal photos that someone was using like their PS three as like a personal hard 220 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.639 drive. No, not news. Well, okay, there was one folder 221 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.519 with some questionable photos. I'm like, who is this anyone from this? 222 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.000 No, it's not. Was it PS three FAT or was it a SLIM? 223 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.480 I believe it was a PS three FAT. Okay, that makes sense 224 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.840 because the FAT had a variety of like card readers off front and everything. 225 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.200 Sony really wanted that to be the your all in one medium device. Okay, 226 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.960 so that makes sense. Oh last thing on the PS three, by 227 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.720 way, so I wanted the Lightning PS three Slam. I didn't know this 228 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.120 only in Japan, I think maybe Europe by specifically in Japan, there's a 229 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:06.200 super Slam that is the Metal Gear Rising Super Slim. I yeah, it's 230 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.399 not super stylish. It's like a black Super Slam in the middle. Is 231 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.919 that like Cobalt Blue that they were reason for the super Slams and that just 232 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.600 sort of like has text all on it etched and white. That's like Metal 233 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.480 Year Rising and like some characters in Japanese. Yeah, yeah, I see 234 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.840 it now. It's kind of cheat and you know, like me, that's 235 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.600 one of my games, so I think maybe I pivot to that one instead. 236 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.080 But yeah, that's that's why I'm on the hunt floor real quick. 237 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.360 I just want to put this out into the ether because I would like some 238 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.759 tech advice out there. I was actually at an Apple store yesterday and I 239 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:45.240 wanted to mess around with iPad pro, but of course a gaggle of children 240 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:52.360 are flooding the iPad so I can actually demo one. I'm tired of bringing 241 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.200 my gaming laptop around when we go to these events and work travel. I'm 242 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.679 looking for something super light. I don't want to use my work laptop, 243 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.519 which is the MacBook, but it doesn't even have like the M two chip 244 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.759 in it, right. I also don't want to have to go through the 245 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.279 process of having to ask it can I install these twelve programs and then telling 246 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.880 me no, and then eventually green lighting it way down the line. So 247 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.279 maybe I get an iPad pro is that, you know, shooting a lot 248 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.880 of video on like the phone and everything, And I feel like, why 249 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.400 do that or one of the newer MacBooks though, because I just don't want 250 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.599 to carry around a MacBook and just as light as possible if you already have, 251 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.160 I want to touch things. Okay, well that's fair because the MacBook 252 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.440 Air those are kind of nice, you know, and I really like mine. 253 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.839 For as much as like it's a good computer, I'm still not used 254 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:42.920 to mac and even if I do get used to it, I'm not gonna 255 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.319 be like, oh this is better the way steps like, you're never gonna 256 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.599 never gonna want to use another computer again. I'm like, it's that's not 257 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.400 really happening. But the battery is really good. But I think for your 258 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.559 case, Jan, an iPad pro would be even more powerful and just as 259 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.000 like energy efficient and all that stuff, so you get a lot of the 260 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.640 same benefits and then you could do a ton of video stuff on. I'm 261 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:11.119 a Microsoft surface boy myself. Okay, Now I saw blessing bring that to 262 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.319 Pax East and I was curious about that. Yeah, they're very nice. 263 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.240 I demled one recently. I thought it was really cool, and I was 264 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.799 like, if I ever need a laptop ranting, this might just be the 265 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.839 one that I go with. Maybe I'll think about that, because I as 266 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.240 far as I know, I don't think there's a very good audio editing app 267 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:32.880 or interface on iPads as of right now, because like there's no audition, 268 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.960 there's some kind of final cut, and there's Da Vinci Resolve available on iPads. 269 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:42.720 So we'll see. Anyway, I'll tell you I'll take suggestions for folks 270 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:48.920 out there. One last thing with my not refund but like making money gambling, 271 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:55.400 I bought myself a pair of roller blades. Oh hell yeah, I 272 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.079 just figure out stop there. That's what I did for myself, a new 273 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.680 pair of roller blades. Johnny, i'm uh is roller blading learning Japanese. 274 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.519 It's a whole new era of like I have always skated because because of hockey. 275 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.759 That's the hockey played was roller hockey. So I just had an old 276 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.920 pair of beat up but to call them blades, I'm in the seas a 277 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.160 pair of blades. They're just beat up. So I'm like, and you 278 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:18.920 know what, I want to get a new pair, and I just found 279 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.160 some on Amazon. I got that and they're hockey roller skates, so roller 280 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.400 blades. So I'll go out there and have a good time. That's time 281 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:29.400 I'm doing. I'll quickly. You can explain about US healthcare real quick. 282 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.039 Sure. Oh yeah. Uh so my feet were destroyed after WrestleMania because it 283 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.559 was a lot of walking around and I thought like, hey, I should 284 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.599 go see a pediatrist or my doctor to schedule a pediatrist, and they were 285 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.920 like, yeah, sure, no, no worries, make an appointment. 286 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.079 The appointment to to you know, see my feedies and perhaps get some insols 287 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.559 or diagnose whatever happening is of course like three weeks away, so yeah, 288 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.519 chill cool. Thanks for fixing my immediate problems. Anyway, speaking about fixing 289 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:11.119 the imediate problems, let's play some video gay Mike Manatti. I may need 290 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.839 your advice here, and that's just in general. I see I see you, 291 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:21.119 coach, Yeah, big life coach, Mike Manatti. Mike, tell 292 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.759 me about Fallout seventy six because I've been watching the show. I've tuned in 293 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:29.880 for a bit of your stream. I got the Fallout itch I want to 294 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.279 play. Yeah. I mean it's interesting because I played fall at seventy six 295 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.160 at a preview event and I played a bit when it launched, and like 296 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.160 everyone else at that time, I did not like it. It was really 297 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.000 janky, it felt really empty. It was just not an appealing experience. 298 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.720 Then, obviously, you know it's been years since then, they've been adding 299 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.359 a lot to the game. Yeah, even though I'm not really watching the 300 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.680 show yet, just like all that kind of buzz, the zeitgeist, I'm 301 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.559 also in a Fallout mood even playing a little bit of Fall four the mods. 302 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.799 It's like and I kind of I like Fallout. I'd like to play 303 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.960 another Fallout. So yeah, I thought I checked back in on seventy six. 304 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.960 You started a new character, and it definitely left a much better impression 305 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.440 than when I last played it. You're the biggest thing they did, and 306 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.400 they did a while ago. When the game launched, there were no human 307 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.519 NPCs, right. The whole point was supposed to be like, you're like 308 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.839 the first ones out of the vault, so there's no other humans so that 309 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.759 we don't have to make NPCs. That sounds hard, but you know then 310 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.440 everyone hated that, so they're like, Okay, I guess we should put 311 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.200 some MPCs in. So having them there, first off, it makes the 312 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.440 game feel completely different, but it makes it feel much more like a traditional 313 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.039 Fallout game, and that is just really well. You know, I'm like 314 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.000 walk around and you see a person, you talk to them. There's Jason 315 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.119 Muse voicing a goual and you're having a conversation with him. So sure, 316 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.559 that's fun, you know. So I was wrolloing the quest for a bit 317 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.319 when I really had fun, was like, Okay, I want to just 318 00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.519 walk in a direction and see if I find something interesting. That's what the 319 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.640 good Pathesta style games are good at. So I just like went south and 320 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.720 I came across this army camp run completely by robots, and there was like 321 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.519 one human teenager there who was like, oh jeez, y'all, i'm reported 322 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.680 for duty, you know that kind of thing. So I like that guy. 323 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.960 But you know, I found like the master Sergeant robot in charge, 324 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.000 like he's like, you need to like go do the training courses, like 325 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.359 the ones like you know, a shooting gallery. The one was like an 326 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.200 agility course, But then the one was like you have to like sniff out 327 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.640 the communists, and there were three like there are like three mannequins, and 328 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.160 they had like speakers next to them. Each had a room. You had 329 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.920 to like talk to them. They talked to them. They would say things 330 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.400 like the fourth of July is my favorite holiday and things like that. But 331 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:42.839 like the one was like, yeah, of course, my dad is in 332 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:48.880 a union. Why do you ask? And it's like like I like stink 333 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.680 around to like hack it to their computer, like fight out, like oh 334 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.079 the dad's laid off, and try to tell all the all all this fellow 335 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.920 workers that they should not work for a dad, like go running back to 336 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.440 guy like comedy on them. I was like, okay, yeah, that's 337 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.039 that's the good stuff. So I was having fun. Now the issue is, 338 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:14.680 you know, nothing I did required or was plused by the presence of 339 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.200 other players, right, Okay, But to be fair, that's actually pretty 340 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.799 much all momos these days, at least in terms of new player experiences. 341 00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:30.720 Like all the actual multiplayer stuff in a lot of MMOs is just endgame content. 342 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.960 Uh these days, Like they're you optionally like can do things with them. 343 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.279 Sure, like I was even telling Grub because Gubs like, oh, 344 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.359 what should we do for with Fallout? Maybe we should all play seventy six, 345 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:44.119 Like maybe be fun to watch somebody play seventy six. If four people 346 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:47.880 start Fallout seventy six together, they're just gonna kind of be walking with each 347 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.720 other to quest like helping shoot you know, rad roaches every once in a 348 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.440 while, I suppose, So you know, it definitely feels more like a 349 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.400 Fallout game with a bit of MMO stuff, But there's nothing wrong with that. 350 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.279 I think it's a it's pretty fun at that and I love the West 351 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.920 Virginia vibes. Right. This is a bit prettier than other Fallout games because 352 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.640 it is like fall and trees actually have leaves, and it's like, you 353 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.400 know, they're red, they're the colors of the changing seasons. So it's 354 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.480 actually a pretty pleasant vibe in this one. There's still an emphasis on like 355 00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:25.680 that basebility stuff, which doesn't do anything for me in this or fall Off 356 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.359 for or in Starfield, but it's whatever I can remind me, Mike, 357 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.119 what is the purpose of the base building? You're just like setting up checkpoints 358 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:33.759 as you go along, and like this one, you can kind of like 359 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.200 make a camp. So, like the nice thing about it at least is 360 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.160 that it's like a fast travel point, right, and you can't put it 361 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.720 anywhere in the wilderness. And it's a little neat to see other players camp, 362 00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.720 right, because some of them do get into it. Although it also 363 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.640 is a little like Second Life YT to me, right, because like you 364 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.920 know, they build really it's very obvious what the things are that are built 365 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.400 by players, and they're kind of loud and tacky and whatnot. It's not 366 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:02.839 quite like those Mario themed hotels Jeff from that one metaverse video, right, 367 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.039 Yeah, but you know it is of that ilk. But like there was 368 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:08.200 like a questions like, hey, you need to like build this so to 369 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.519 draw the attention of these people. So I was like, all right, 370 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.799 fine, I'll build that, I suppose, and you have to figure out 371 00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.039 how to like put out a power supply and the connect the power to your 372 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:23.039 thing all that stuff. It's fine. I wonder if maybe a Fallout seventy 373 00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.839 six, well I had a lot more time or waited a bit, or 374 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.359 maybe was trying to take on influence from other games, if it could have 375 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:36.200 found like a Second in Life trying to ape the Valheim experience. So I 376 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:40.200 feel like I go full survival game. Yeah, go full survival game, 377 00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:44.960 because that could be neat, I think. And there's a little bit of 378 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.839 that here, Like you do have to eat and drink every once in a 379 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.759 while. I'd never had to do it once starting at least. I don't 380 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.640 know if it's like new players don't need to worry about that or what, 381 00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.599 but yeah, they don't go super hard into the survival stuff, at least 382 00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:03.480 not in the kind of first few hours that were griefed at all by other 383 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.240 players Mike or well. At at the early levels. You can't even at 384 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.279 one point I did reach like level six or something. I forget where it 385 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.599 was like you can turn PvP on. I think you have to turn it 386 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:18.359 on. Uh. And my understanding is that community is like, oh, 387 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:21.400 you want to play Fall at seventy six with us, that's so nice. 388 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.720 Yeah, let's let's okay, you know, roll out the red carpet please 389 00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.359 right this way, sir. It is it is weird, and like the 390 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.559 game has like the fact that the game is still around is nice, and 391 00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.240 it did kind of slowly build up goodwill and I think it's getting a lot 392 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.039 more than a little bit of goodwill now because a lot of people are coming 393 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.680 back to it because everyone's so excited about the show. But you can't see 394 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.039 a world where if this had launched in a better shape, like this could 395 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.400 be some giant game that we're all talking about all the time, right, 396 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.680 because it's not like a ESO where like there's like some other company you kind 397 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.200 of put that together and it's kind of more MMO than it is Elder Scrolls, 398 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.200 like this was made by Bethesa. Right, this is kind of a 399 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.400 Fallout game and it sort of just kind of came out. Everybody said it 400 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.640 was bad, and a lot of people sort of moved on forever. And 401 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.680 it's nice that I did again find the second wind of sorts and it's still 402 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.799 going. But you can't imagine that world or fall six. Fall seventy six 403 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:19.599 was some big, big game. Yeah. I wound up buying Fallout three, 404 00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:25.519 Fallout four, and Dow Vegas on Steam because they're super duper cheap right 405 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.519 now, Yes, and I was about to fire up New Vegas, but 406 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.279 then I was like, no, you know what I want to save. 407 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.000 I want to experience it with grub for the first time because Greb. We're 408 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.960 planning on streaming it this Thursday, this Thursday. Nice, Yes, it's 409 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.400 happening. That's awesome. We're gonna flood it with mods like you did. 410 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.559 Yes, at least for this first episode. I'm gonna flood it with mods. 411 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.160 I'll be able to turn some of those off if we keep going with 412 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:49.799 it and we want to experience some of that stuff, Vanilla. But yes, 413 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:53.240 there will be a lot of mods on this episode for sure. Okay, 414 00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.519 I want to fire it up so bad because maybe three episodes deep into 415 00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:03.960 the Fallout show, and my knowledge of Fallout is just through cultural osmosis. 416 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.319 I just know pit Boys, vaults, the old timey Wymy songs. And 417 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:12.119 then Walter Goggin. Walton Goggins is in the show. Real real, Jeff 418 00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:19.200 really put me on blast with the wal that I don't know, just really 419 00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.559 let me have it, which is fair. Yo. I fucking love that 420 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:30.160 man, dude, He's so what a great character actor. Hu Yeah, 421 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.160 he's my favorite. I loved him in TV show. Yeah, movie was 422 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:40.519 good too, fantastic. Oh, Hateful Eight, he's great. He's one 423 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:47.039 of the Hated Eight. Anyway, I was gonna I'm gonna ask you boys 424 00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:51.759 and the audience at home. After you know, we check out the beginning 425 00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:56.960 parts of New Vegas. Should I like just embark on New Vegas myself if 426 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.319 I want like to scratch that Fallout itch? Or should I go to three 427 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.359 four people are gonna tell you do Vegas is yeah? Generally the one. 428 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.640 Yeah. I always wonder what Bethesta thinks about that that everybody's favorite falloff game 429 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.480 is the only what they didn't make in the last twenty years. I was 430 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.440 listening to a podcast where someone who would be in the no said, oh, 431 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.960 yeah, they don't like that. No they I wouldn't like that. 432 00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:22.880 And also, like I bet Bethesta just thing like scoreboard. We're like, 433 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.759 look at the sales and look at the Metacritic and stuff, because fall Out 434 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.039 seventy six got nailed at the beginning for having a lot of bugs and stuff 435 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.759 more buggy than even Bethesta New Vegas did not New Va. Yes, right, 436 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.559 exactly, like it's that's It's metacret to this day is like kind of 437 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.720 like low eighties or something maybe mid eighties now. But yeah, like at 438 00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.759 the time, the main story at that game was this is really buggy, 439 00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.640 and it was. But now that's not an issue, and now no one 440 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.559 cares. It's all about like you could do so much more in New Vegas. 441 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.160 So yeah, okay, all right, Yeah, I'm mostly looking forward 442 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.960 to wacky shenanigans that I've been told have happened. Did you see uh this 443 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.680 thing where like the like somebody in charge of Fallout four was like, by 444 00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.079 the way, like your player character was this guy in like the Fallout one 445 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.319 intro and it's like some super cop who stands next to another super copy like 446 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.839 shoots the civilian and then like last and like high fives or whatever, and 447 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:17.079 then everybody's like the guy's a war criminal and we should be like, oh, 448 00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:22.279 you are all taking it too serious. It's like did you begin to 449 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.079 walk it back or something. Well, look it's not like that's not like 450 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.640 really canon, but yes we did, Like I at one point the person 451 00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:34.640 in charge of Fallout four did consider that to be my canon anyways, But 452 00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:36.920 I don't know. I always laugh at it. It's like, oh, 453 00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:40.359 I didn't think you would all take this so seriously. It's like, I 454 00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:42.160 mean they're gonna take you know, they're they're gonna take it a little seriously. 455 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:52.319 Yeah, going from one jaunty dilapidated World to another. I've been playing 456 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:59.640 Harold Halibut came out yesterday. This is not quite what I was expecting it 457 00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:03.920 to be. Is it a video game? Gianochow answer the question, I 458 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.279 mean you move Harold Hallibit around. So there's some mini games. You talk 459 00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:12.799 to people and you go in to point A to point B, and sometimes 460 00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:17.799 you got to figure out where the person is, so point B might be 461 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:23.039 point e instead. So it's a point click adventure kind of No. Is 462 00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.880 it a walking sim kind of Yeah. I think it's more walking sim than 463 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:32.359 a point click adventure. It's more of a walking diorama. Yeah. For 464 00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:34.759 folks that don't know the game we're talking about, this is I think this 465 00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.720 was shown at a Summer game Fest two three years ago now, yeah, 466 00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.599 and it's been in it's been in the works for something like ten to fourteen 467 00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.960 years or something like that. Yeah, And that part shows in the visuals 468 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:52.319 because this looks like a stop motion movie as you were playing it. I 469 00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.319 want to see I want to eventually see the behind the scenes of some of 470 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:01.480 this stuff because it's absolutely insane how they were able to transport what looks like 471 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.920 stop motion characters, and from the little bits of behind the scenes that the 472 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.640 developers have put out there, it does look like they've taken those models, 473 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:13.559 scan them into three D, and then just let you loose in the little 474 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.640 dioramas they've made. If you're a fan of Wes Anderson, if you've liked 475 00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:22.240 Fantastic Mister Fox at all, Grand Budapest Hotel, like the little playhouseho, 476 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:29.759 that's right, Clay specifically, claymation Scott is an m effort to jam yeah, 477 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:32.160 Gumby, get that dude out of here. I will melt that ship 478 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:38.920 asap. Fantastic Mister Fox. Wow, I cuss and love that movie. 479 00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:45.720 But Harold halibit not a lot of actual game going on, Grub as you're 480 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:52.720 alluding to. It is a lot of sitting there listening and then talking to 481 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.680 virtually everyone there. The game does have a lot of character, has a 482 00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:05.519 lot of whimsy fantastical elements. You are Society on a ship that escaped Earth, 483 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:09.079 not escaped Earth, flat Earth because bad mumbo jumbo stuff was going on 484 00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:15.000 Earth. And then your ship, the Fedora one, has traveled through space 485 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:20.599 and you're kind of just like a maintenance dude walking around and fixing miscellaneous things. 486 00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:23.599 And that is kind of the game. You were kind of just like 487 00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:28.279 sitting and just like experiencing the story. There's not a lot of point and 488 00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.160 clicky interact with the environment stuff, which is kind of a bummer because the 489 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:37.920 environments look great, like they look like handmade dioramas, Like you can see 490 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:43.480 the rough edges in some of like the corners or even the painting. Sometimes, 491 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.960 like you know, with with certain stop motion you can see where someone 492 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:52.319 had just adjusted like a face or like a scene or whatever, and you 493 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.279 can see that as it's going on. But you're kind of just at the 494 00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:59.079 whim of the game to listen to the dialogue take place. And even if 495 00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:02.000 you like button through as you're reading the subtitles, it's still going to kind 496 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:07.200 of fast forward play the like stop motion dialogue. Right. I mean, 497 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:08.599 this is what I'm wondering, Like, when you're moving the character around the 498 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:13.119 world, is like movement? Does that feel like you're holding down the play 499 00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.239 button on a video? Uh No, you you have like full control of 500 00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.239 character. It is very weighty though, Like, uh sure I could forgive 501 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.519 that, I think to a certain extent, But I think the other thing 502 00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:30.079 that for me would be okay, then these worlds do look immaculate and really 503 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.480 well designed. Yes, what is my interactivity level with that? Can I 504 00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:37.760 go and like mess around with the things that I find interesting when I look 505 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:39.920 at it? Yeah? Related, I not to just challenge you on this, 506 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.119 but like I brought the trailer here and look at the screenshots, it 507 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:46.800 looks very lucasartsy to me. So I'm curious for why you would say it's 508 00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:52.480 not much of it. There's limited and there's no puzzles. There's no puzzles. 509 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.079 It's just it is. That's why I think when you say point and 510 00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.119 click, and I think that's what you're bringing up, right, Sean, 511 00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:00.559 I think what people assume, yeah, there is there's there is an inventory 512 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.880 system, and you are solving puzzles using that stuff in this game doesn't seem 513 00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:06.800 to have anything. I guess that's not You're right, that is a big 514 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:09.199 part of what those games are. I guess that's not what I immediately go 515 00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:13.840 to when I think of those games. Mike would be very quick to talk 516 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:16.239 about. But when I think about stuff like say Monkey Island for example, 517 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:21.159 that's where I think it's more about the dialogue. Sure, So Mucky Owen 518 00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.440 is it's very much like that inventory stuff is still a big component, it's 519 00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:27.239 still there. Yeah, I know this is maybe more of a meving, 520 00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.719 but that's just like what I think of when I know, maybe it's more 521 00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.440 like that Telltale style of an adventure game, right where it is like just 522 00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:38.599 walking around and talking. Yeah, it is more like that Telltale adventure game, 523 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:44.599 except you're not really choosing specific dialogue options. There's not a lot of 524 00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:49.800 like choosing for the player to do specifically, and you're not interacting with the 525 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:53.159 environment a lot. You're interacting more so with the characters. And you can 526 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:58.360 talk to pretty much anyone and they'll they'll have like different dialogue bits as you 527 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:01.159 interact with them depending on where you or in the story, So like it 528 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:06.079 won't just be the same can dialogue of like oh hey Harold, oh hey 529 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:10.280 Harold. It'll it'll be bespoke to the certain situation you're in. And like 530 00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:16.039 the the comedy is there. It's really it's really quaint. It's really dry 531 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:21.639 as well, which I kind of get down with. It's very punny. 532 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:24.440 It has all the things to be a very to be a game or an 533 00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:30.079 experience that really appeals to me just the game aspect, there's not a lot 534 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:34.320 there. So would you say that's more of like a visual novel then, 535 00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:39.519 like maybe Thirteen Sentinels E is sort of what I'm trying to teenagers. Well, 536 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:45.400 yeah, definitely not. There's too many in this game. Well like 537 00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:51.679 in Thirteen Sentinels I feel like in those tableaus even like there was more interactivity, 538 00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.199 like you're kind of like hunting around of like, all right, which 539 00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:57.920 thing am I supposed to interact with here? Sure? But Harold Holbot, 540 00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.480 primarily you were kind of doing like a mini game. Occasionally that mini game 541 00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:07.400 is very sparse, like you're just moving stuff around or you're just just taking 542 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.440 care of menial chores. Because Harold Halibut is like a repair man on the 543 00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:15.800 ship. It's got it. It's oozing character. And my favorite thing about 544 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:19.960 the game is the most disgusting thing about the game is how you fast travel 545 00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:24.000 or the mode of op transportation. You get flushed in a tube. Oh 546 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:28.519 yeah, that's fun. I always like Chris. I have a confession. 547 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:30.960 Yes I've heard. I've been hearing people talk about this game for a while. 548 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:35.239 I didn't really know what it was and just assumed it was a fishing 549 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.039 game for months now. Oh no, that's fair. Same, it's got 550 00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.079 a fish right in the name. Yeah, yeah, that's how I prayed 551 00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:44.800 was well, yeah, clearly it's a fishing game. You just played as 552 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:53.719 a fish, yeah, like David, David. Yeah, So last this 553 00:37:54.039 --> 00:38:00.960 on the s Fedora. Why is this ship called the Fedora out this game? 554 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:04.519 I think just because it's like it's funny, ha ha Fedora. You 555 00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:08.840 say malady at some point, No, no one says malady. Okay, 556 00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:15.320 he hasn't hit the horn on the ship that goes lady. Actually, but 557 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.920 like I don't know how, you know, I'm playing catch up on a 558 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.559 bunch of games, right, Like I want to finish Infinite Wealth, I 559 00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:28.880 want to finish Rebirth, and this Harold Halibut seems like a game to just 560 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.599 kind of like you should sink your teeth into when you have the time, 561 00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:36.679 because you're pretty much just experiencing the story. And as far as I have 562 00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:42.440 heard, it goes anywhere from like ten to twelve hours, so it's like 563 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.360 you're you're kind of buckling up for a pretty lengthy experience. I feel like 564 00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:50.360 maybe this could have been an episodic joint and maybe that would have been more 565 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:55.400 palatable because like Kentucky Roots zero, that's kind of maybe. Oh yeah yeah, 566 00:38:55.480 --> 00:39:00.599 Tailtale Games, Yeah what what like, what's that squareness game? True 567 00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:08.400 Collers True? Oh oh, Gode strange. Yeah. There's not a lot 568 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:14.000 of drama in the game though, so it's not maybe doing an episodic nature 569 00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:16.519 like that wouldn't wouldn't lend itself well. But like, hey, it looks 570 00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:22.440 fantastic. I feel like the worksmanship coming from the game definitely, and like 571 00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:27.239 the writing is done very well, just like the game aspects. It's just 572 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:31.599 I mean then, like I do feel like I would also be hung up 573 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:35.400 in that same exact spot as you jam where I'm like the game aspect, 574 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.639 but for what it's going for. Do you think they execute on that, 575 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:43.079 because it sounds like they're not going for like Dewey game. It's like, 576 00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:45.960 hey, it's a talkie game. For what they're going for, do you 577 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.599 think they nailed it? Are you happy with the execution? I think they 578 00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.039 they nailed it. I think this is it's probably a case of me having 579 00:39:54.239 --> 00:40:00.599 misaligned expectations because when I see something that looks like a diorama and stop motion, 580 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:05.280 my mind immediately is pouring towards like Wes Anderson inspired stuff, and they're 581 00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:09.760 definitely pulling from like the Wes Anderson camp in terms of some of the aesthetic 582 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:16.119 presentations and stuff, but it's not it's kind of missing that snappiness that like 583 00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:22.760 a Wes Anderson movie would have because you are kind of trudging along and Harold 584 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:27.760 moves very slowly and right, like the timing for like the dialogue probably isn't 585 00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:31.519 there. Yeah, yeah, but like all the voice acting is great. 586 00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:36.880 You one of the first people you would inter interact with. I forget his 587 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.119 name, but he's like a set of like triplets, I think, and 588 00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:44.559 they just go by their numbers and you just see them in multiple spots just 589 00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:46.880 doing different. Can't just spring up triplets while Chat is already talking about Huey 590 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:54.480 Dewey and Louie. Yeah, what is happening? Welcome Mike. We're revealing 591 00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:00.760 to you right now that you've been in a Truman show. Ads about to 592 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.199 get excited, but yeah, Harold, Hall of It. It's out on 593 00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:09.079 PC, it's out on consoles, I hear. Unfortunately, console performance kind 594 00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:13.800 of chugs, but like that very visual heavy game, So maybe that's why 595 00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:16.639 Jan I have one last question on this. Do you do you cond of 596 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:21.039 just like not have a ton of experience with games like this, Like you 597 00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:24.639 don't have much to compare to. Yeah, I've always been curious about Day 598 00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.559 of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, all that jazz, but didn't have a 599 00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:35.239 PC growing up. Definitely enjoyed all the Tailtale games, specifically the Walking Dead 600 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:37.320 ones. How sad for that guy once I should have stole stuff from his 601 00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:43.159 house. But yeah, like, uh, don't have too much of a 602 00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.840 frame of reference. Like when we did of Thieves for Escape from Monkey Island, 603 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:49.079 I was like, Oh, this is so hilarious. They should make 604 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:54.400 games like this, just a ton of adventure games, because like you mentioned 605 00:41:54.960 --> 00:42:00.840 last year with Little Goody two Shoes that you sort of like didn't really know 606 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.840 what the game was supposed to be. And when I got around to playing, 607 00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:06.440 because I was looking forward to I checked out, I was like, 608 00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:09.760 Oh, because it's sort of a visual novely adventure game. Maybe Jan just 609 00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:15.440 doesn't play a ton of though, so he doesn't. He's just even turn 610 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:20.760 I just pressed the button. Let Mike say his thing. Yeah, Secret 611 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:30.920 of Monkey Eye Jam Okay, Okay, it's growing on me. Grim This 612 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.800 is easier though, grim Jan Dango, That's easy. Oh god, that's 613 00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:37.960 what I was talking with Kurt about how amazing Griffin Dango was on the last 614 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:42.800 one voicemailed dump Truck. Yeah, and god, I'm I played to Grifford 615 00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:45.280 Dango so many times. When the best games ever game so good, it's 616 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:51.400 so good, it's it's the pinnacle of that classic style of Mikey. I 617 00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:53.639 feel like I hear you talk about Grim Fandango a lot if I were to, 618 00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:59.519 if I'm at a crossroads here, Grim Fandango. They have the Tentacle. 619 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:05.119 Oh so my history Day of the Tentacle is intense because that's the first 620 00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:08.239 adventure game I played. It just randomly picked it out from a software et 621 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:10.639 cetera, because it does you can get a computer game if it's like not 622 00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:14.360 too much. I was like, oh, this one looks colorful and cute, 623 00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:17.519 and I love Data tent that randomly picked it up. That's cool, 624 00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:21.920 Yeah, Data Tentacle that you just triggered me. It's like that right to 625 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:24.360 me? Mean, just say, Day of the Tentacle I had. I 626 00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:29.639 had a fan site for Data Tentacle called because Data Tancles Dot it's called dot 627 00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:34.880 com. It's pretty good for folks for audio listeners. You can't see it, 628 00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:37.519 but I'm currently shrunk down and I'm on Mike Manati's head like kind of 629 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.719 shifting him to do certain things right now, Like, yeah, so it 630 00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:45.400 works out. I don't have any hair, your headphone cable. There you 631 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.039 go. You have dot com? Did you dot dot com? You didn't 632 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:54.440 have a dot com? Dot com? There's no way I was able to 633 00:43:54.440 --> 00:44:00.320 afford it. Dot com. It's probably something like bullshit, yeah or something. 634 00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.400 Yeah, yeah, Nerd has a dot jay. Would you be talking? 635 00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:08.880 Would you be talking about playing off air or on air? Either? 636 00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:13.960 I mean, because Grim Fandango, I feel like at this point in time 637 00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.039 you kind of need someone helping you out with that, and I will be 638 00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:21.199 done that exactly you saying now, Mike would be good for that because there's 639 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:24.320 some puzzles in there you will never get unless you Yeah, all those games 640 00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.639 you did, like trust me, we were all using game facts back then. 641 00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.960 You would just get stuck sometimes. But I've played through all these games 642 00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:34.840 multiple times. So Grim and Dango is like a Cosa Blanca parody with a 643 00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:38.480 lot of like fun Mexican like like folklore and stuff like that, and then 644 00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:45.079 Day of the Techacle is more like Texas Avery Saturday Morning cartoon silliness. Oh, 645 00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:49.719 very good, just slightly different flavors. I would probably say do date 646 00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:53.920 Day of the Tentacle first you can experience some of the arc of the Revolved. 647 00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:57.519 I think that's probably the right move. Day of the Technacle has some 648 00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.119 Founding Father stuff in it, so it's technically a Wharf of July game. 649 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:06.760 Oh I like that. There I go Day of Janticle and then playing phant 650 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:08.920 Division and just having fireworks go off and we'll celebrate the fourth of July that 651 00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:12.960 way. Last thing on the visual novel stuff, Jan, have you played 652 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:19.800 don Gan Rampa? No? Okay, so I just yeahs brought in the 653 00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:24.719 chat Jang and Rampa. So I've heard that like Dan may also be baffled 654 00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.599 by some of the Dungan ropa bullshit. Hear me out here, folks, 655 00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.920 Dan, Jan Rompa, Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it, 656 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:37.519 and I'll be your guide through those fantastic that's the one with like the bear 657 00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:43.360 right yeah, Mana Kuma Okay, there we go. Lovely lovely, uh. 658 00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:49.360 Speaking about Sean playing a guide for all of us here at gb Sean 659 00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:52.320 you put here Hell Divers two still rules, and I agree with you. 660 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:54.079 Yeah. Yeah, I'm definitely not the guide on this one, y'all. 661 00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:58.880 My guide through this one. Uh yeah, I've just you know, we're 662 00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:01.440 in a at least are into my calendar and the games I'm looking forward to. 663 00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:05.639 We're in like a slight lull here as we get to a couple of 664 00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:07.760 games at the end of the month and then a couple at the end of 665 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:09.880 next month. We're as slightly slower periods. So I am finally getting around 666 00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:15.360 to finishing some of the games that I want to finish, Like I'm still 667 00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:20.920 trucking through like a Dragon. I might be putting Unicorn Overlord on the shelf 668 00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:23.039 for now, not putting it down, but just shelving it for a second, 669 00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:28.280 because like a Dragon runs really well on steam Deck. That might just 670 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.639 be I might just play it on my TV and Steam Deck when I want 671 00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:36.480 some handheld time. So I think Unicorn Overlord not super clicking with me. 672 00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.480 I'm a little bit further still now I'm close to ten hours into it, 673 00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:44.840 and I think, yeah, I might put down for now because it's very 674 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:50.679 unfocused. I feel it's like all of the Tactics games, the Tactics Game, 675 00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:52.159 and I think it might just be doing a little too much and maybe 676 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:57.000 I'm just not in the mood for that right now. But as I get 677 00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:00.000 through all these different games at health, Avers Too is the other one that's 678 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.760 really sticking with me. Had game night with friends last night. We just 679 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:07.159 played three hours straight of More Hell. Yeah, it was so much fun. 680 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:14.079 Just I love I do prefer games that are a bit more guided, 681 00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:16.480 not super linear all the time, you though, Sometimes I like that. 682 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:20.039 Sometimes, I like, you know, when Final Fantasy tends to be a 683 00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.199 little more linear, not quite till level thirteen, but maybe like a ten, 684 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:25.800 you know, something like that. Yeah, I like when games are 685 00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.800 like that. But here with Hell theres too something about it. I love 686 00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:34.559 that you just need to figure some things out on your own sometimes. Oh 687 00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:37.880 yeah, like we were doing what is the first time that any of us 688 00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.119 had seen a mission because my friends are just playing with me. So I'm 689 00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:45.119 a little bit further had im having done that stream last week figuring out how 690 00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:50.480 to destroy the fuel silos on one of those you know, like destroyed the 691 00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:53.199 encampment missions, yep, And we're figuring out how do we do this? 692 00:47:53.280 --> 00:47:57.719 Do we call in the orbital strike? What are we doing? And then 693 00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:00.880 I noticed there's this new stratagem there, like, oh, hell bomb. 694 00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:06.840 Oh okay, this makes much more sense. Call that in, you know, 695 00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:09.360 arm that thing and then run away and the whole thing blows up. 696 00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:12.559 It's so much fun. And she was like, what that game could be 697 00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.079 like because like when we played Sean, we definitely used the hell bomb to 698 00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:19.199 destroy stuff like two or three times. But there's so much going on. 699 00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:21.400 It's like you were just worried about your own stuff. So when Mike's like, 700 00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:22.440 I'm getting help bomb, and I'm like, okay, I'll activate it. 701 00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.280 I saw you drop it. It's very easy. But like, okay, 702 00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:29.320 they're taking care of their bullshit, I'll focus on my bullshit. I 703 00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:34.239 just wasn't exactly And that happens all the time. You were doing as my 704 00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:36.639 friend likes to call it his faan of reference, you were doing the Warrior 705 00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:39.400 where mini games. Yeah, I was defending the rest of the team from 706 00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:43.480 the robots that were coming in, and so I just wasn't even thinking about 707 00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:46.159 so having to do that myself and made that connection. It's very satisfying and 708 00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:49.920 Max would feel like they're they got their job right, and that's there's a 709 00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:52.559 big, I think, a big appeal there where it's like, Okay, 710 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.079 I can just do my part and everyone else. You know, if your 711 00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:59.239 job is reloading somebody else's weapon, which was stupid, it's actually really fun 712 00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:02.360 very Oh yeah, carrying that supply backpack. You were an MVP on that 713 00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:07.719 team, and Chat pointed out that they got grubbed to blow up a hell 714 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:13.719 bomb in that stream that we well last night my friend found side like I 715 00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:15.360 was like, oh, what's this? Can I like break it up? 716 00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:16.119 I'm like no, no, no, no no. It's like a nuke 717 00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:19.480 goes off and from us and we're all dead, even though we were a 718 00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:25.119 mile away. It was insane and they nailed it. Yeah. God, 719 00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:29.800 I need I need to find an excuse for us to stream that game so 720 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:31.800 I can hop in. Yeah, I need to do like hew, like 721 00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:36.840 hell Divers Tuesdays or something I don't want to to Thursdays or something. I 722 00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:40.880 don't know. We'll find a reason to go back the neat thing that I've 723 00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:45.840 noticed too, because I'll get some hell divers to videos popping up on my 724 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:51.559 my TikTok algorithm. Sometimes I'll notice someone is like super high level in the 725 00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:57.840 game, but they're still using like the beginning machine gun stratagem that you like 726 00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:00.599 drop with and like the supply back. I'm like, all right, if 727 00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:05.239 this person can like be high level and get down with the same thing, 728 00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:07.480 okay, And that shows you, like what kind of a game they're making 729 00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:13.000 as well, where it's that's how like Call of Duty for Modern Warfare worked, 730 00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:14.760 where it's like everyone's like, oh my god, you have to play 731 00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:16.800 to unlock these guns, so people who play longer can have an advantage over 732 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.719 me. It's like, that's not how it works. Those guns are balanced 733 00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:22.760 in such way. All this is really doing is just giving you a chance 734 00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:27.159 to drip feed new stuff so you can learn the stuff that you do have. 735 00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:29.679 And if you learn these basics, you're gonna be fine. And so 736 00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:31.800 really what we're doing is we're just giving you like a step ladder to step 737 00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:36.239 up to like learn the game, and that's the real improvement that you're making, 738 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:38.400 not getting some new gun. And I think that's mostly true in Health 739 00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:43.079 divers too. There's definitely some weapons that people have favored and they've done some 740 00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:45.440 rebalancing all that stuff, but they rebalance for this purpose because they want everything 741 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:50.639 to feel valid when you're playing yep, lovely, lovely. Next game I 742 00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:54.280 have here on the docket is a little bit of a preview Tales of Canzarazau 743 00:50:55.440 --> 00:50:58.880 put this down. Yeah, I wrote this down. We talked a little 744 00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:00.840 bit about it on a rev Engines last week I played a little bit more 745 00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:05.719 so I think I'll recapital quick. This is a Metroid Vena. It's got 746 00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:09.480 that African futurism, a sort of a vibe that I think people have been 747 00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:14.199 more and more finding more appeal in recently, and it's finding like it's a 748 00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:16.599 foothold in a lot more media and all that stuff really works for me. 749 00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:21.159 The thing that was surprising to me as like, Okay, this is a 750 00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:24.119 Metroid Vena are the choices it makes that aren't Metroid Venua. Like there's no 751 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:29.440 save silos that you go into like in a Metroid or a Castlevania, So 752 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:34.079 that like mixes up the feeling of the pacing a little bit and the upgrades 753 00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:36.760 you're getting. It's like you start with a double jump, you start with 754 00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:39.039 a dash, and so the other kinds of upgrades you're getting are feel a 755 00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:42.760 little bit different than a metroid vena. It's like, man, I'm like 756 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:47.480 not accustomed to this, this scaling up of how my character works, and 757 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:51.199 so it's like it kind of like put me off on a wrong foot, 758 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.280 I think to begin with. And as I'm getting more into the flow of 759 00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:55.519 that stuff, I think it's like, Okay, I get what they're going 760 00:51:55.519 --> 00:52:00.920 for and it's still really working. And the fundamental aspect of a metroid venue 761 00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:02.880 where it's like, Okay, I know I need to go to this part 762 00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:07.559 of the world and I know what I'm going to accomplish by getting there, 763 00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:10.239 and so that like magnetic pole is still there and that's kind of all I 764 00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.119 really need at the end of the day. So I was surprised how it 765 00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:17.559 shifted up the gears on a metro advena genre. Did you guys find that 766 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:22.239 at all in your preview attempts? So I have just started out of this, 767 00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:24.480 so I played a little bit of it, So don't I haven't really 768 00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:27.800 got far enough to like get a sense of that progression. But you're right, 769 00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:30.440 like you do have more tools to start out with, and like, 770 00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:32.400 so far, I haven't like found some area where it's like, oh, 771 00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:37.480 I can't get through here, and so I get you know, and I've 772 00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:40.880 been playing for about like four or five hours. Nice. But what I 773 00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:44.639 am liking it and what is really sticking out to me is the kind of 774 00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:46.800 dual combat system right where, yeah, you know, you have like the 775 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:51.519 shooty style, you have the Mega Man style and the zero style. Right, 776 00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:53.440 That's how I think of it. It's like Mega Man X stuff to 777 00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:57.599 me, because like the ones the very melee focused one and the other one 778 00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:00.519 is the ranged one. You can switch between them at will. So that's 779 00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:04.880 what's immediately appealing to me. But otherwise it's just you know, it's really 780 00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:07.000 snappy. The platforming does feel good. I don't know if it frill is 781 00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:13.559 just good as the Lost Crown Jin, but it feels very I let it 782 00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:15.320 cook. But yeah, I'm I'm pretty happy. I'm excited to play more. 783 00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:19.840 Yeah, yeah, I want to dive dive all the way in and 784 00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:23.000 see the other uh movement abilities that might unlock, because I mean, if 785 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:27.079 a game starts you off with a double jump in an air dash, they 786 00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:31.960 gotta have goodies. The one thing, like like Jeff Betches before, it 787 00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:36.599 is very much like the We're gonna have We're gonna look at two JPEGs talking 788 00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:38.800 at each other a lot kind of metrova, especially the start, and like, 789 00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:42.760 I feel bad being annoyed at that when it is clearly a kind of 790 00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:46.039 emotional and personal story, especially and it's not like it's being told poorly. 791 00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:50.480 It's it seems like a good story. But I am always like, I 792 00:53:50.519 --> 00:53:53.480 bet we could have done this, like in a more classic betray ving a 793 00:53:53.559 --> 00:53:59.639 kind of like background sort of way that I find more interesting than just a 794 00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:04.239 little dialogue boxes and dialogue moments. They still definitely still have that. Later 795 00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:07.039 on, they shift that up a little bit, and again I will talk 796 00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.639 pretty vaguely because this is a preview. They shift that up a little bit 797 00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:13.800 later on. So it does mostly happen when you are running around the world, 798 00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:16.280 which is why I had to switch the language from key Swahili, which 799 00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:20.119 they spelled it with a key Swahili, which is the same thing as Swahili. 800 00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:22.559 Apparently I didn't realize that I switched to English so I could play the 801 00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:25.760 game while they're doing the talking. They were doing that so frequently, so 802 00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.360 they do kind of lean into that a little bit late later, and then 803 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:34.119 I will also say I'm finding the story to be pretty moving about like at 804 00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:36.239 the point I'm in, I was feeling the exact same way as you, 805 00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:38.039 Mike early on, and I'm like, oh, they are hitting some of 806 00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:43.599 these moments really well. It's also leaning into the metro a Maana style of 807 00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:46.880 like, oh, this conversation I just had really adds a propulsion to the 808 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:51.039 action here. It makes me want to keep exploring. So I've been pretty 809 00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:53.639 impressed by that stuff. So you know, we'll talk about yeah, like, 810 00:54:53.719 --> 00:54:57.039 you know, it's a good story, so I mean, you know 811 00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.039 Prins of Perssia had. It's not any more than what Prince of Persia was 812 00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:02.960 doing. And obviously I love that game. So it's very far from some 813 00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:07.599 like deal break or even really some like negative. It's just something that at 814 00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:08.559 first I find a little bit like, I don't know if this is the 815 00:55:08.599 --> 00:55:14.800 right way speaking about a gripping story, touching, pulling on the heart strings. 816 00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:17.480 I see this on the dock here, and I was pumping my fist 817 00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:22.360 when I saw it. Treasure playing it for the PS two. Yeah, 818 00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:24.960 I was like, play this. It looked Mike, Okay. When I 819 00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:28.760 watched you play this on your Twitch, I was like, this kind of 820 00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:31.199 looks like just a lot of those other PS two games, maybe a bit 821 00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:36.880 of Jack, maybe a bit of Sly Cooper. What is this game like? 822 00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.679 What are they most trying to ape deaf? I think Jack and Dexter 823 00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:44.920 like dek Decks are one is definitely the first reference point. But you know 824 00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:47.800 so. Treasure Planet was a Disney animated movie from the kind of early two 825 00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:52.840 thousands. It's an adventure movie if you're not a sickle like me. Again, 826 00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:55.119 I was getting this in my chat constantly. Everybody gets this mixed up 827 00:55:55.119 --> 00:56:00.400 with Atlantis from also from Disney or titan Ae. It was Warner Brothers, 828 00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:04.800 so Fox. It was real funny because there was Yeah, I think it 829 00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:07.039 was Fox. There was a There were just a ton of these, like 830 00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.880 two D animated adventure movies for kind of like older kids or teenagers. It 831 00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:16.360 was a trend instigated by nothing because all of these movies did poorly. There's 832 00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:22.639 also a sindbad movie by DreamWorks that nobody even remembers. They all did poorly, 833 00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:25.880 but they're all very good actually, Tally Yeah, and Treasure Playing in 834 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:30.280 Atlantis, like all of them have been reconsidered. They're all cult classics now, 835 00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:32.679 but at the time this was a licensed game based off a movie that 836 00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:37.760 very few people had seen, made by Bizarre Creations. I think it's the 837 00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:44.360 Project Gotham racing people the Blur people. Oh yeah, and yeah, it's 838 00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:47.920 it's it's pretty good actually for what for these right, you kind of usually 839 00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:53.639 expect something a little cheaper, but the platforming does feel very snappy and responsive, 840 00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:55.960 and it's a you know, the Collecti font style where you're going to 841 00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.840 these levels. There's like five objectives that you can do and you only need 842 00:57:00.840 --> 00:57:02.880 to really do so much to progress, but I like to to do all 843 00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:07.199 of them. And the you know, visuals are pretty nice. This treasure 844 00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:09.400 Planet has that whole like hey, pirates, but in space vibe, so 845 00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:13.760 you know, the old some of the new, and that's being captured here 846 00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:16.480 really nicely. And then there are some levels where you're on your solar Solar 847 00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:21.599 surfer right, hell, yeah you are, it's just there. They're Tony 848 00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:23.519 Hawk levels, and of course it doesn't feel as good as Tony Hawk, 849 00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:29.079 but it's pretty fun and it's faster than that. It's a different vibe, 850 00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:31.159 but it's the character even like starts off as like wow, look, at 851 00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:34.599 all these things you can do here, but you can collect five of the 852 00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:37.840 green energies, or you can go and get a score of you like, 853 00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:42.079 wow, here's the hitting a dress tape. What's that? Right? Is 854 00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:44.719 it light Tony Hawk where you're doing tricks as well, or is it morally 855 00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:46.920 Jack two or some sort of just some means of transportation. Probably it's not 856 00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:52.159 means transportation because like it's just that whole level and you can't get off it. 857 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:57.320 It's but tricks. The tricks aspect is pretty minimal, but you can 858 00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:02.559 like grind and stuff. Okay, yeah, Mike, is is their voice 859 00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.519 acting in it? It is? There's voice acting in it. Seems like 860 00:58:06.519 --> 00:58:09.920 they got most of the people right. So David Hyde Pierce, who's a 861 00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:15.159 major character in this is in here. I think it's Joseph Gordon Levitt as 862 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:19.880 Jim Hawkins, the main character. Yeah, yeah, so it all sounds 863 00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:22.480 very good. You know. Of course they have the full motion video clips 864 00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:28.239 from the movie You gettulf that. Yeah. I think as far as these 865 00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:30.960 kind of licensed three D platformers, which at the time were such a dime 866 00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:35.440 a dozen rights, so I don't you know, of course not people weren't 867 00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:37.719 paying attention to this game then and now it's like, man, we don't 868 00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:40.719 really get games like this anymore. Playing one of these now really hits. 869 00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:45.280 But I definitely think this is on the upper end of how good those games 870 00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:47.880 usually were. Yeah. Yeah, I'm really happy that people are sort of 871 00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:52.559 people are willing to go through these back caalog of games and look at them 872 00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:55.679 for what they are nowadays, because back in the day we just saw them 873 00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:59.519 as shovel where or whatever, don't even pay attention to it. But now 874 00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:02.519 that people are exploring more classic games that they never checked out, or revisiting 875 00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:06.639 ones that they wrote off, I'm happy to see. I think like a 876 00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:12.559 big one is the Nightmare Before Christmas PS two game. They cry like it's 877 00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:16.440 awesome, Yeah, so cry with musical boss fights. Yeah, it's like 878 00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:21.519 a narrative sequel to the movie. Yeah, just like straight up is, 879 00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:23.480 Like, I think it's canonically a sequel. They got some of the voice 880 00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:27.199 sectors and everything, so I have a lot of voice sectors. Yeah. 881 00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:30.239 I think that that era of gaming is cool to go back to. It's 882 00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:32.440 one of the reasons I'm looking at getting some Moji hardware and doing some stuff 883 00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:36.360 with that. Well, just even like like the idea of like a three 884 00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:39.719 D platform or tie into a movie. It used to be like, because 885 00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:43.639 we can make a video game in like nine months, and I was like, 886 00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:46.039 no, you can't yet. I think that's why people are like looking 887 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:50.159 back at these things so fondly these days, because I think we'd kill to 888 00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:52.280 have this sort of thing be a regular thing. Now, Now what do 889 00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:55.519 we What do we get? Nowadays? We get like the Way Forward Mummy 890 00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:59.119 game and right, and then we get a lot of mobile games, and 891 00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:01.880 then occasionally Guitar and Star Wars getting and even then, like when you get 892 01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:05.440 like a license game, it's always like, well, it's set in the 893 01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:07.119 world of this but it's kind of its own news thing and that's nice too, 894 01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:10.559 But in its like never comes out the same time as a movie because 895 01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:15.239 that's impossible. I mean, they can't even line up a new Fallout game 896 01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:17.440 coming out. Remember Twisted Metal came out and it was a hit, and 897 01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:21.400 there was just no Twisted Metal game for people to go and buy. There's 898 01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:25.320 nothing people would do with that. Yeah, the Suicide Squad game got delayed. 899 01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:30.639 It feels like because I got the kids, we go to McDonald's get 900 01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:34.239 happy meals, a lot, and the toys in there are always kind of 901 01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:37.440 depressing, and it feels like these games were the happy meal toy version of 902 01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:42.079 video games, and there was something not magical. I don't want to oversell 903 01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:44.239 it, but there was something nice to kind of have, like know and 904 01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:45.920 rely that those things are going to be there if you want to spend more 905 01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:50.440 time in that world. It hit the dopamine. How dare you downplay the 906 01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:55.119 Crash Bash toys that they had? It is weird. The multi versus is 907 01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:59.840 like, was the last toys related to video games that they had A McDonald's 908 01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:02.519 now was very wild. That's wild. I'm looking at a video of a 909 01:01:02.519 --> 01:01:08.000 playthrough of this and this is just Jack and Dexter. There's I mean, 910 01:01:08.039 --> 01:01:12.719 this joint that is all. I love that about these licensed games as well. 911 01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:14.840 On it's like it's just going to be another game. Like I just 912 01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:17.760 started that Hotel Transylvania three with the kid and it's just Pickman. And I 913 01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:21.320 know there's some people are gonna yell at me about Rlow. I don't watch 914 01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:22.280 Arlow. I'm sorry. I didn't know he did a video about that, 915 01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:24.960 so I'm sorry. I had the same revelation that he did in a video, 916 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:29.400 but uh, it was like this just straight up places like Pickman that 917 01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:31.960 this is the whole game and she's playing it and enjoying it. My Stitch 918 01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:35.840 game on PS one that's just crashed Bandicod. There's a lot that are just 919 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:40.159 crashed. The l and Stitch on g b A. The Stitch portions are 920 01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:47.039 just metal slug. It's really good. Like, okay, man, I'm 921 01:01:47.039 --> 01:01:50.039 like that. Or Alien Hamid would have been a good fit for that. 922 01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:53.639 Okay. There's also a PS one Treasure Planet that's a different game entirely and 923 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:57.519 not supposed to be very good. And then there's a Treasure Playing game on 924 01:01:57.559 --> 01:02:02.480 PC that's a RTS real time strategy game. Apparently not only when we get 925 01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:07.480 we get like multiple ones each platform. You could have your own bespoke one 926 01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:10.519 of these. Why not? God? But oh man, I smell a 927 01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:14.800 license to thrill. Yeah, it's time, it's time to bring it back. 928 01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:16.920 Yeah. By the way, it was Crash Team Rumble I was talking 929 01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:21.039 about. I was like, that's crash Bash is not that game? What 930 01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:27.400 is what the hell is? Forgive and forgetting? Nobody nobody remembers Crash Team 931 01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:31.679 Rumble from last year. Not a bad game, but how to keep anybody 932 01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:37.440 asked for? Fortunately, oh Moussata in the chat brings us up that the 933 01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:43.159 early Harry Potter games were also very different. I remember checking it was it 934 01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:45.039 was either the game Boy game Boy Advanced ones, and like, the first 935 01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:50.119 spell you learn is flipendo, And I'm like, what the fuck. I've 936 01:02:50.119 --> 01:02:52.519 read the books, I've watched the movies. No one ever says this fucking 937 01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:58.760 spell? What is flipendo? Really upset about the lore, very upset as 938 01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:01.719 you you know, I up. I think there were Atlantis games too, 939 01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:06.000 right, Mike, Like, I remember an adventure one. There was an 940 01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:09.840 Atlantis game on PS one. Yeah, and then there was a first person 941 01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:15.880 shooter prequel on PC and there was a standalone demo for that that came with 942 01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:21.320 Cereal. I remember. So, yes there were Atlantis games also, hell 943 01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:23.920 yes, uh well, last thing on the dock at I see here, 944 01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:28.159 Shawn, you have a secret project. What are you doing? What are 945 01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:36.559 you doing? So? What happened partners your nose? I'm sorry, no, 946 01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:39.360 no, but why did Mike do the butt clapping sound? You still 947 01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:45.480 not understand what that is? Don't worry about it. I leave. I 948 01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:47.840 thought Sean was into low punny and now he's talking about buckets of pain. 949 01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:52.000 Oh, this is right. We haven't We haven't talked since I outed you 950 01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:55.239 as the Megalopini fan that you are trying to deflect towards me Ja. Don't 951 01:03:55.280 --> 01:04:00.239 worry, everyone knows your secret shame now is that the secret project? No 952 01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:04.199 secret project? What do y'all know about the Virtual Boy? A lot? 953 01:04:04.559 --> 01:04:09.039 Yeah? I had one very excited about it. Yeah. So, uh, 954 01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:16.159 red Viper is this new emulator for the virtual Boy on the three DS? 955 01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:20.519 Yes? Yes, yeah, And this is the thing that's been done 956 01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:25.400 before. I think this is a different project, pretty sure, but this 957 01:04:25.480 --> 01:04:30.239 one has been very meticulously created. You can change a lot of different things 958 01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:33.480 in here. You neednd just how the three D works. It'll change the 959 01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:39.000 what the slider does on your three DS, so you neither get like a 960 01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:42.719 three D effect like the three DS usually has, or basically an even more 961 01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:45.840 intense version that just one to one simulates what it would be like having a 962 01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:50.199 virtual boy up to your eyes. It is wild the work that they put 963 01:04:50.239 --> 01:04:56.760 into this. And you can you can change the color from just I searing 964 01:04:56.920 --> 01:04:59.960 red on the back background to you make it black and white, which is 965 01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.920 your one if you' you can change it to there's a there's an RGB color 966 01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:06.960 selector. You can make it the same color as bucketsho if you wanted to. 967 01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:14.840 But I just fired up, like every US Virtual Boy game when I 968 01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:16.440 download this to my three D. How much wan the world? Did you 969 01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:24.239 play? Shit? If I ever think about bike, I played like five 970 01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:26.920 mists. That game is not good, like most games on the Virtual Boy 971 01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:30.880 once't you know? It not that great? Jeff Process pretty okay. T 972 01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:36.400 rod Boxer was neat because it's sort of punched out any first person view. 973 01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:41.679 Uh, there's Galactic Pinball I think it's called, which is just a bad 974 01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:45.400 pinball game. Kind of like it. Jeff Beckler would be offended by this 975 01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:50.039 game because the entire game, Yeah, the entire game is just what if 976 01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:54.360 a pinball board is just the flippers and then the things up top what you 977 01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:59.679 call them, is that the bumpers or whatever? That's that's the board game 978 01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:03.000 three D but in three D exactly. That's what so many these games were, 979 01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:06.360 even the first party ones weren't that great. Mario Tennis does not feel 980 01:06:06.400 --> 01:06:12.280 good on Virtual Boy. Mario Clash is not a good game, very weird. 981 01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:16.000 I like, I liked Mario Clasham. Did you have a Virtual Boy 982 01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:21.079 my Virtual Boy? Hey? Yeah, question why was it red? Because 983 01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:25.599 that was the cheapest led they can make back then? Okay, fair enough, 984 01:06:26.119 --> 01:06:30.519 but like blue was like still very expensive, if not like nascent at 985 01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:33.320 that point, so yeah, they were far away from color. That scale 986 01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:38.480 is good though, Yes, that's the one I was going to bring up. 987 01:06:38.599 --> 01:06:42.679 Is Warrior Land on Virtual Boy is just Warrior Land, and it's way 988 01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:46.280 more fidelity than the Game Boy games because the Virtual Boy actually had a decent 989 01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:51.000 amount of power in it because they were sort of positioning it as a right, 990 01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:56.880 Yeah it was thirty two bit yeah, but yeah, lower power form 991 01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:00.559 factor or whatever. So it's somewhere between a hand held and a console. 992 01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:05.039 It does very basic graphics. But now Warrio Land game it looks great. 993 01:07:05.239 --> 01:07:10.320 It feels just like the Game Boy Warrior Lands, you know, which one 994 01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:13.079 is kind of its own thing, and then two and three are basically the 995 01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.719 same, and then four is kind of its own thing. It feels like 996 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:17.840 two and three. It feels like the slightly more advanced Warrior Land games. 997 01:07:17.880 --> 01:07:23.840 And you know, Warrior Land is a interesting platformer because it's a little slower 998 01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:30.039 paced, or you're not immediately jumping and doing challenging platformers a platforming especially right 999 01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:31.920 away. But it's you know, it's gotten vibe to it. It's kind 1000 01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:40.360 of the first Jimmagammy tense game to come out the US. Checks. Yeah, 1001 01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:48.440 I played Jack Brothers and that's us. That's that game is weird. 1002 01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:51.920 I don't I had a jam moment. What is this game? Was it 1003 01:07:53.000 --> 01:07:56.199 supposed to be? I don't know. Yeah, I think it's I guess 1004 01:07:56.239 --> 01:08:00.880 it's like a puzzle game sort of, but it's a little unclear what genres 1005 01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:04.320 they're combined. There Again, most these games I just played for like ten 1006 01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:08.079 minutes, and then warial Land is the way I spent a lot of time. 1007 01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:12.800 Wasn't there a Bomberman puzzle game on Virtual Boy? But maybe I don't 1008 01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:15.880 know that, maybe a Japan only one or I just got to download it 1009 01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:18.039 when I went downline, I'll remember. But there was there was a Tetris. 1010 01:08:18.039 --> 01:08:21.680 There was Tetris three D ar yes, yeah, which is weird because, 1011 01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:26.439 yeah, you're placing the three D blocks in this not quite cylinder but 1012 01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:30.439 sort of a cylindrical shape. It's very odd. There's a R game coming 1013 01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:35.079 out that is exactly that, where it's like a cylindrical Tetris mike. You're 1014 01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:39.279 saying, you imagine, like the Virtual Boy was around for like three years, 1015 01:08:39.279 --> 01:08:41.199 even what kind of weird shit would have been on there, Like there 1016 01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:44.680 would have certainly been a Star Fox game. There may have been. Is 1017 01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:46.119 that a game on the Virtual Boy? Can you imagine? Guys? That 1018 01:08:46.199 --> 01:08:50.000 was the neat thing when I was on a certain website downloading these Virtual Boy 1019 01:08:50.039 --> 01:08:54.439 games because lord knows, you can't find them ayar away for a reasonable price 1020 01:08:54.520 --> 01:08:58.560 or anything nowadays. Although you can't buy the entire library, I think it 1021 01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:01.439 would only be like a few hundred because there's only like fifteen games on the 1022 01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:08.279 thing. People have ported other games to the Virtual Boy that wouldn't make sense 1023 01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:13.359 for the era, like there is a Star Fox like Fanny port To and 1024 01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:16.000 stuff. So yeah, a lot of them are just demos, not complete 1025 01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:19.720 games, just fan projects. But it is neat to see that there's this 1026 01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:25.960 little community taking advantage of this weird, unique hardware. I think that's I 1027 01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:29.079 just think that's cool. I remember going to a Toys r Us and being 1028 01:09:29.119 --> 01:09:31.399 super excited to try out a Virtual Boy, and God, bless my mom 1029 01:09:31.760 --> 01:09:36.079 tried to make the money move where she could to like help help me buy 1030 01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:40.760 games and stuff. But she looked at that and she was like, Jerome, 1031 01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:45.079 let me tell you something about uh stuff not lasting. That shit ain't 1032 01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:47.800 gonna last. Mom made the right choice. It was that in the thirty 1033 01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:51.640 two X. Yeah. Wow, Mama smart. I'm smart, just like 1034 01:09:51.680 --> 01:09:56.439 you know what? Just save for a PS one son He right? Cool? 1035 01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:00.640 All right, folks, That about it for games. We're gonna take 1036 01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:05.479 quick bricky break and we'll be back with some video game news right after this. 1037 01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:15.199 And we have returned with the show, and Jeff Grub has come from 1038 01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:23.720 the pantry fully stocked with news. Look at that he's bouncing five different types 1039 01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:30.159 of pasta, a jar of pickles, and stories all in one arm. 1040 01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:33.840 What a dad. First, you gotta eat your stories before you get your 1041 01:10:33.840 --> 01:10:39.560 treats. So I got some headlines here for you. This is like more 1042 01:10:39.600 --> 01:10:43.520 a recap of stuff that we knew. I guess the confirmation a corroboration if 1043 01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:46.640 you will. Sony's PS five pro is real and developers are getting ready for 1044 01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:50.239 it. The Verge I was able to get their hands on some more information 1045 01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:55.000 that basically lined up with everything we've heard so far. Sony is getting set 1046 01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:59.560 to release a more powerful PS five console co named Trinity later this year. 1047 01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:03.439 The PS five Pro will feature a more powerful GPU, slightly faster CPU mode, 1048 01:11:03.760 --> 01:11:08.840 and improved system memory. The console is expected to deliver better ray tracing 1049 01:11:08.880 --> 01:11:14.319 performance, higher resolutions and frame rates in certain games. Basically everything will require 1050 01:11:14.359 --> 01:11:16.680 an update though a patch if it's going to take advantage of this, although 1051 01:11:16.680 --> 01:11:20.319 I expect that's going to be the big push this holiday. Developers are already 1052 01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:24.760 being asked to ensure their games are compatible with the PS five Pro, with 1053 01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:29.439 a focus on improving ray tracing. The PS five Pro will also support Sony's 1054 01:11:29.479 --> 01:11:34.319 new PlayStation Spectral Super Super Resolution, which is PSSR. That sounds like dls 1055 01:11:34.439 --> 01:11:39.520 Yeah, Pit Pizzar, that sounds like d lss tu. That's for a 1056 01:11:39.560 --> 01:11:42.960 reason. It is basically their version of that, and that's going to be 1057 01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:45.600 a big focus for them as well. I think on improving performance across a 1058 01:11:45.600 --> 01:11:49.800 bunch of games. Where we're at with the PS five Pro. We keep 1059 01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:53.720 hearing about the hardware, We're not hearing a lot about like other games are 1060 01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:57.479 going to go alongside this. You guys have the sense that they are going 1061 01:11:57.520 --> 01:11:59.760 to launch this thing and pretty much be like, Hey, all your old 1062 01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:01.960 games run better now, and that's going to be the focus, because I 1063 01:12:01.960 --> 01:12:04.560 don't think they're going to have like some big marketing game to go along with 1064 01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:08.880 it, right, maybe can we have a little astro as a treat at 1065 01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:13.880 least that seems guys like, well, because its a pro, it's not 1066 01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:16.920 going to be exclusive, right, assuming that they follow the same as PS 1067 01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:21.279 four pro, So what that's the thing? On purpose? Would it serve? 1068 01:12:21.600 --> 01:12:25.039 I just I also don't know what features, because like the whole idea 1069 01:12:25.079 --> 01:12:28.680 of ASTRO for people who are unaware is like, so far these games have 1070 01:12:28.760 --> 01:12:31.159 been, hey, we have a little thing that comes with the PlayStation. 1071 01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:34.359 Move had something right early on there was like some ASTRO stuff in there. 1072 01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:39.840 YEAHS four launch, Yeah, yeah, and then right so you could like 1073 01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:42.880 it would be in the controller and you can like have it behind the touch 1074 01:12:42.920 --> 01:12:45.680 pad and like it was showing off the touch pad that sort of thing. 1075 01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:48.680 And they did that with PSVR obviously, and then and then they did with 1076 01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:54.239 PS five as as launch thing to show off the features of the haptics and 1077 01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:57.960 the triggers. I don't know what they would need, like you don't really 1078 01:12:57.960 --> 01:13:00.079 need Astro to show off ray tracing, but I guess you could. But 1079 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:04.079 if they're doing that, that makes it feel even more tech demoe, and 1080 01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:08.000 I think maybe it's just like, hey, maybe there is nothing to shops 1081 01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:10.199 like. I guess we just have to make a real, like full blown 1082 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:13.239 Astro game instead. That's why I was assume, Yeah, that's what I'm 1083 01:13:13.239 --> 01:13:15.399 hoping for. I'm hoping for that as well. That's probably what is happening, 1084 01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:18.119 so okay, but that takes us back to then there's no like PS 1085 01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:20.520 five Pro game that like, oh, you have to have that to play 1086 01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:24.560 that. It's going to be Last of Us Part two looks better than ever. 1087 01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:27.680 I think that's what the PS four Pro was as well. Yeah, 1088 01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:31.359 I'm just thinking what this system is going to be usedful. I was actually 1089 01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:34.159 thinking about this quite a bit yesterday. I was listening to some other people 1090 01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:40.000 talk about because you know, the PS four Pro obviously, the reason to 1091 01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:44.560 have that was to make your games targeting ten AP look GOODF four K display, 1092 01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:47.800 right, So what is the PS five pro here for? Is based 1093 01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:51.520 on the specs that have leaked out or I mean basically confirmed at this point, 1094 01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:56.560 because apparently it's come from dev portals, so he doesn't know a lot 1095 01:13:56.560 --> 01:14:00.920 of this stuff to be true. It's not going to improve GPU power broadly 1096 01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:06.159 speaking. It either will in standard mode just runs the same as the PS 1097 01:14:06.159 --> 01:14:11.199 five CPU, or you optionally can like downclock the GPU a little bit, 1098 01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:15.079 which makes sense. Says you'll have a PSSR helping out there in order to 1099 01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:18.000 give a little bit more juice to CPU. So if people don't know what 1100 01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:24.039 that tech jargon means, you're probably not getting better frame rates. You might 1101 01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:27.720 get locked to the target frame rates a little bit better if they choose to 1102 01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:31.239 use that alternative mode, but otherwise, if a game is CPU bound, 1103 01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:36.039 which most console games are nowadays, is why we now have games tarting thirty 1104 01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:42.039 fs. I don't know. This whole thing just feels weird because I know 1105 01:14:42.119 --> 01:14:45.399 Mike really was hoping that this would be okay. You know, this is 1106 01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:47.960 the console. It gets us the thirty FPS games going up to sixty and 1107 01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:54.239 seems like at a base hardware level, that's not what we're getting it. 1108 01:14:54.399 --> 01:14:57.560 But it sounds like, oh sorry, good continue Sean. Yeah, where 1109 01:14:57.560 --> 01:15:01.680 I was going with this is I was thinking this would be a risky move. 1110 01:15:02.640 --> 01:15:11.119 What if some developers scale back their games and then rely on PSSR to 1111 01:15:11.279 --> 01:15:15.279 bring it up to where it's currently at. If you claw back the resolution 1112 01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:18.199 and some of the detail a little bit, maybe that saves you enough computing 1113 01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:24.000 power since everything is shared on console, to get some games running at a 1114 01:15:24.079 --> 01:15:27.800 higher frame rate while still looking the way that they currently do at thirty fps. 1115 01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:30.079 There's a lot of technical stuff going on here that I don't know. 1116 01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:35.840 I'm really really curious to see how they position this because there's as of right 1117 01:15:35.880 --> 01:15:39.960 now, as far as we can see, it's like ray tracing cool, 1118 01:15:40.439 --> 01:15:43.079 right, And that's like just what Jet's saying, like, oh there, 1119 01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:45.560 tony developers, like make sure you got raid tracing. It seems like that's 1120 01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:48.319 going to be what they're going to try to use to sell it, which 1121 01:15:48.800 --> 01:15:54.239 I don't know how excited the average consumer is about ray tracing anymore if they 1122 01:15:54.319 --> 01:15:57.800 ever were. No. Yeah, And the hard thing there is the same 1123 01:15:57.800 --> 01:16:00.760 thing it's always been difficult for ray tracing. Lighting and games already looks really 1124 01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:04.439 good and it's going to keep looking good, and so the comparison shots are 1125 01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:09.199 just not going to be stunning to most people and improve reflections. I mean 1126 01:16:09.199 --> 01:16:13.079 these things that people have faked that you can now do raw dog and with 1127 01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:15.880 ray racing, it's impressive. From a technical level, developers are going to 1128 01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:18.600 be curious about it to the point where it will take over eventually. It's 1129 01:16:18.720 --> 01:16:21.520 just not something you can explain to the average person. Yeah, but I 1130 01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:27.800 mean Devil's advocate. Devs are excited about rag racing because it's once you learn 1131 01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:31.479 how to do it, it's easier than absolutely so that's why it will take 1132 01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:35.159 over eventually. But right now they have to do both because racing and like 1133 01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:40.039 you said, the average consumer just will not care whatsoever. You show them 1134 01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:42.399 a side by side, They're like, cool, the reflection looks better. 1135 01:16:42.439 --> 01:16:44.840 I don't care. It's I'm not spending that money. Well, do you 1136 01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:46.720 all I was going to ask, do you all think the general audience is 1137 01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:51.720 tech literate enough with how much like new iPhones, phones in general get pumped 1138 01:16:51.720 --> 01:16:58.520 out that like them, seeing PS five pro is not going to entice them 1139 01:16:58.560 --> 01:17:01.720 to buy a whole new thing. There are going to be a good amount 1140 01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:04.960 of people, especially like the super PlayStation fans, that are just going to 1141 01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:09.600 want the new model. Yeah for sure, and maybe like maybe they're hoping 1142 01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:14.680 that that will be enough, right, you bundle that up with the holiday 1143 01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:16.920 launch. This is a way that you can get people who already have a 1144 01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:21.159 place Station five to buy another one, so that will juice up sales a 1145 01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:25.279 bit at least. Now when you do that, does that help you sell 1146 01:17:25.319 --> 01:17:29.600 more software? Maybe a little bit, but especially when there's not going to 1147 01:17:29.640 --> 01:17:32.000 be a whole lot of new software this year anyways, It's like it's like 1148 01:17:32.039 --> 01:17:35.560 someone to chat somewhat jokingly point out it is going to be the people who 1149 01:17:35.640 --> 01:17:40.520 bought the PSVR two, Like, at this point, there's not really a 1150 01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:43.920 reason to buy that peripheral. If you want to get into VR, the 1151 01:17:43.960 --> 01:17:47.560 Metaquest three is the way to go, even for PCVR connected to your PC, 1152 01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:53.600 even wirelessly and broadly speaking, is a better experience than PSBR two. 1153 01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:57.920 But some people are in that ecosystem. They love the exclusives, and you 1154 01:17:57.960 --> 01:18:00.479 know, if you have the money, you spend and you just want the 1155 01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:03.880 best experience without having to learn the ins and outs of running a PC, 1156 01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:09.359 I can see some people going for it. But yeah, it's just it's 1157 01:18:09.399 --> 01:18:13.520 never going to hit in the mainstream. Because four pro didn't hit in the 1158 01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:16.760 mainstream. It did decently well but I think that's just where Sony's kind of 1159 01:18:16.840 --> 01:18:21.039 at right now. Yeah, they just want to at least have that boutique 1160 01:18:21.039 --> 01:18:27.880 option to make their entire ecosystem look a little more supreme astrobot rogue like, 1161 01:18:27.960 --> 01:18:31.439 that's what's going to happen. That's what they're doing. They don't activate Jeff 1162 01:18:31.479 --> 01:18:39.319 like that. People dilated right there because something like, all right, they 1163 01:18:39.359 --> 01:18:43.479 made Valhalla. Valhalla is really dope. Just people circle back because there's some 1164 01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:45.800 neat story bits in there. We already have Last of Us Part two with 1165 01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.520 the roguelike thing. What else are we going to have now? I mean, 1166 01:18:48.600 --> 01:18:56.640 rather than klank could work well, could work very well. I dope? 1167 01:18:56.800 --> 01:19:00.399 Please? All right? Moving ahead here a couple Final Fantasy stories. 1168 01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:05.199 Final Fantasy seven Rebirth is quote underperforming sales wise, according to one analyst, 1169 01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:10.800 Final Fantasy seven Rebirth PS five exclusive sequel to Final Fantasy seven Remake, has 1170 01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:15.159 reportedly underperformed in terms of sales. That's according to Daniel Alghamed, director of 1171 01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:19.920 Research and Insights at Nico Partner's Rebirth is telling about half of what remakes sold 1172 01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:24.119 in the same timeframe and has a weaker tale. Again. That's according to 1173 01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:28.439 Daniel in comparison, Final Fantasy seven remakes sold three point five million copies in 1174 01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:31.840 its first three days on PlayStation four, while Rebirth peaked at two point two 1175 01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:38.520 to one million days daily active users at launch. Square Inox has not announced 1176 01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:42.199 official sales data for Rebirth, so a lot of this is speculation, but 1177 01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:45.640 it's based on informed speculation. Daniel knows what he's talking about. Yeah, 1178 01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:49.720 I was laughing pretty hard when a couple of people were going hard at Daniel 1179 01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:54.920 on Twitter, and I was just like, Wow, what this man does 1180 01:19:54.960 --> 01:19:58.159 for a lis? Yeah? Do you It's worse. Even Daniel is like, 1181 01:19:58.199 --> 01:20:01.359 look, I'm not I did say that like reburface flopping or like something, 1182 01:20:01.600 --> 01:20:05.239 or like everyone calmed down a bit and stop yelling at me specifically. 1183 01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:11.520 You know, all people point out there are half as many PS fives out 1184 01:20:11.560 --> 01:20:15.039 as there were ps fours when remake came out, so of course it happened. 1185 01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:16.920 And there is also like you know, that is the kind of the 1186 01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:21.239 problem with doing this three parter thing and Square Nicks do this was going to 1187 01:20:21.239 --> 01:20:25.000 be a problem. That's why they were desperately like in the markt be like 1188 01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:29.439 this is a great place to jump in found Fantasy seven. Why, like 1189 01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:31.439 they knew it was a lie, but like they you know, need to 1190 01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:35.840 kind of maybe get that hope and dream out there a bit. But now, 1191 01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:42.520 like people generally need to play remake to appreciate Rebirth, and that's you 1192 01:20:42.520 --> 01:20:45.680 know fine for the sort of long term, right, people are going to 1193 01:20:45.760 --> 01:20:48.640 keep coming to this game. But yeah, it was never gonna be something 1194 01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:53.000 that was going to like jump out of a gate and sell five million copies 1195 01:20:53.199 --> 01:20:56.239 in a week, even being in the nineties and Metacritic, which you think 1196 01:20:56.239 --> 01:21:00.880 would be some kind of a big deal. Right now, it's a it's 1197 01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:03.319 just challenging, and it is incredibly ambitious what they're doing, and I'm glad 1198 01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:08.920 that they did it right. It's definitely the right move creatively. But yeah, 1199 01:21:08.960 --> 01:21:12.239 it always kind of meant that sales are going to be interesting, especially 1200 01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:15.760 you're not going to have a PC version right away. Right this entire thing 1201 01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:19.520 is kind of just a duh moment. It's a it's a sequel to another 1202 01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:25.600 game. It's exclusive to one platform that you know is doing decently well if 1203 01:21:25.640 --> 01:21:28.760 you actually look at the numbers. But also not everyone owns it, whereas 1204 01:21:29.359 --> 01:21:32.039 everyone owned a PS four by the time remake came out just yeah, like 1205 01:21:32.680 --> 01:21:35.960 this just was never going to sell it as well, and I would almost 1206 01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:42.239 argue it's doing pretty good all things considered, I would say it's doing pretty 1207 01:21:42.239 --> 01:21:45.319 good. Yeah. Yeah, we kind of have to have a reckoning of 1208 01:21:45.359 --> 01:21:46.920 like what is a good selling game, because you know, there's such a 1209 01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:51.159 weird spectrum of these games that sell forty million copies and they're just they're just 1210 01:21:51.279 --> 01:21:54.800 on their own planet, that's their own thing. I mean, yeah, 1211 01:21:54.840 --> 01:21:58.079 it also doesn't matter, right because what we think as good or bad, 1212 01:21:58.159 --> 01:22:00.039 it's like what the company is, how how are they going to react to 1213 01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:05.479 this is always what the reality actually matters, And so I it's Square Enix. 1214 01:22:05.560 --> 01:22:08.760 I don't know. I think that they're I mean, they're gonna see 1215 01:22:08.960 --> 01:22:13.199 Final Fantasy seven remake trilogy through like that, that's not a question. But 1216 01:22:13.279 --> 01:22:15.399 I wonder when they look back on it, if they'll feel good about it. 1217 01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:19.479 I imagine that what's actually happening in this like exact moment is what happens 1218 01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:24.399 with a lot of trilogies. The second part does the worst financially. That's 1219 01:22:24.600 --> 01:22:28.520 usually traditionally how it's worked, not always, but traditionally retires strikes back, 1220 01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:31.479 which is like everyone's favorite movie ever made significantly less money than Star Wars did, 1221 01:22:31.520 --> 01:22:34.000 and Return of the Jedi returned it. And then I think that once 1222 01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:36.000 it's complete, everyone's like, all right, now I could show up for 1223 01:22:36.039 --> 01:22:40.000 the whole thing. That's what I imagine. My brain went to Attack of 1224 01:22:40.079 --> 01:22:45.800 the Clones as my Star Wars. I think even that young come on, 1225 01:22:46.760 --> 01:22:51.239 I'll tare you. Okay, Well, then Final Fantasy sixteen was successful in 1226 01:22:51.279 --> 01:22:57.399 attracting younger players. That's according to the DLC director. Final Fantasy sixteen has 1227 01:22:57.439 --> 01:23:01.119 successfully attracted a younger audience due to its act based combat system. According to 1228 01:23:01.159 --> 01:23:06.960 the DLC director Techio Kujo Roco Cuduraco, Square Enix aimed to appeal to a 1229 01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:12.680 wider market by deviating from turn based combat. Survey results indicate that more people 1230 01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:16.920 in their teams and twenties played Final Fantasy sixteen compared to previous games in the 1231 01:23:16.960 --> 01:23:20.880 series. While future Final Fantasy games might not follow the same direction, this 1232 01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:27.199 achievement opens up new possibilities for the development teams. Okay, I believe this. 1233 01:23:27.319 --> 01:23:29.720 Do you think it was enough to like sort of be like, well, 1234 01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:30.920 this is the answer, because I don't think that's what happened. No, 1235 01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:34.399 that's how many of these are, like now lifelong Final Fantasy fans, 1236 01:23:34.479 --> 01:23:39.039 right right, It's almost weird, how like you would think, like, 1237 01:23:39.079 --> 01:23:41.960 oh, like every fun facing game there's new people playing for the first time. 1238 01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:45.600 You almost think there'd be some kind of exponential factor there, Like every 1239 01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:48.960 Fann Fantasy is automatically going to be the greatest best festal whenever it's trending down 1240 01:23:49.159 --> 01:23:54.920 since twelve or eleven's take, fifteen sold very well, actually, okay, 1241 01:23:56.760 --> 01:24:00.600 every single one podcast on so many platforms, right yeah, but like but 1242 01:24:00.640 --> 01:24:03.159 you know, like fourteen, right, so people play fourteen. It's like, 1243 01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:06.239 well, it's not like those people automatically bought sixteen, even though it 1244 01:24:06.319 --> 01:24:11.520 was made by the same team even right, So, I think it's great 1245 01:24:11.520 --> 01:24:15.079 that you brought in new players. I wonder if it was worth the mountain. 1246 01:24:15.239 --> 01:24:19.319 Maybe you pushed away with such an incredible departure in a lot of ways. 1247 01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:24.479 Probably fine, But again, like what's the retention? Right, how 1248 01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:27.680 many of these, like you know, eighteen year olds, some things are 1249 01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:30.920 going to be back for the next Found Fantasy when you know it. Naville 1250 01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:33.479 clearly doesn't even look like sixteen, right, Y're not probably going to do 1251 01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:38.479 another character action one. They're probably not even going to do another Medieval Fantasy 1252 01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:43.560 one for a while, ten years, probably twenty years. God. I 1253 01:24:44.239 --> 01:24:49.680 think the perspective is important here because I try to remind people Final Fantasy often 1254 01:24:49.720 --> 01:24:56.760 doesn't do like amazingly amazingly just it has some of the most culturally important games 1255 01:24:56.800 --> 01:25:00.279 of all time that people think it's a gigantic series. It's almost like the 1256 01:25:00.319 --> 01:25:03.039 Mega Man effect to an extent, where Mega Man actually doesn't sell that well, 1257 01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:06.319 we just remember him as iconic character. Now. Granted, f F 1258 01:25:06.399 --> 01:25:12.279 seven, ten, fifteen, and like eventually the thirteen series and fifteen are 1259 01:25:12.319 --> 01:25:16.119 all so huge that you know, people forget. But there is a good 1260 01:25:16.199 --> 01:25:19.279 amount of file fantasies I've done. Just okay, is that is that a 1261 01:25:19.319 --> 01:25:23.239 milk? Is that a milk is half empty versus half folks? I think 1262 01:25:23.239 --> 01:25:27.359 the way I view it is like they've done in milk. You know the 1263 01:25:27.359 --> 01:25:29.560 glass of milk is half empty? That is it? Just because you're looking 1264 01:25:29.600 --> 01:25:36.000 at me, ask yes, but also base is it soy? I don't 1265 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:39.560 know, say most people imagine water in the glass, but continue Jeff, 1266 01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:43.199 Okay, fair enough, Why do I imagine milk. All right, now 1267 01:25:43.199 --> 01:25:47.119 this is back on. We're gonna analyze that later tonight. I think that's 1268 01:25:47.159 --> 01:25:51.520 the age old question when you like have those games that have like four games 1269 01:25:51.520 --> 01:25:55.199 in a series selling north of ten million copies, to me is like, 1270 01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:58.319 okay, well that franchise could be bigger than that going forward. And the 1271 01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:00.760 fact that it just it does keep pulling falling back to earth. I'm like, 1272 01:26:00.840 --> 01:26:03.119 Okay, what is happening there? I don't know. I think Partner 1273 01:26:03.359 --> 01:26:08.840 is also sixteen is the same thing as Rebirth. It's exclusive to one platform. 1274 01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:10.640 Yeah, that's a big part of it, probably, yes, But 1275 01:26:10.720 --> 01:26:14.439 I don't know. There's a part of me again like baby the class half 1276 01:26:14.439 --> 01:26:15.600 full. It's like, hey, like, ay, a normal Final Fantasy 1277 01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:19.199 is going to sell like three million copies or something. That's pretty good. 1278 01:26:19.239 --> 01:26:23.039 Again, why I'm saying that maybe we need to be happier about games that's 1279 01:26:23.039 --> 01:26:26.399 so a few million copies and every once in a while, for some reason 1280 01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:30.439 it'll really pop off and you'll you'll have one that's sells ten million or whatever. 1281 01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:32.439 But I think you kind of when you go into it, maybe you 1282 01:26:32.479 --> 01:26:35.560 have to be ready with that baseline, like Okay, maybe you know the 1283 01:26:35.800 --> 01:26:40.119 normal case here is that we're going to move a few million cops exactly. 1284 01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:42.840 Yeah, I think you're absolutely right about that. I do think you're also 1285 01:26:42.920 --> 01:26:46.159 right that this is going to be a bit of a one off and related, 1286 01:26:46.359 --> 01:26:50.680 Final Fantasy does experiment a lot. Yeah, so them trying on that 1287 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:57.159 is more than an action RPG is significantly more in the character action genre with 1288 01:26:57.359 --> 01:27:00.960 just a few little bits of RPG elements. Yeah, this is probably gonna 1289 01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:04.239 be the only time that they do that because they know that a lot of 1290 01:27:04.279 --> 01:27:08.439 people did not like that. I personally thought it was great. I know 1291 01:27:09.119 --> 01:27:12.720 the as a character action game, it's not like The Pinnacle, but it's 1292 01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:16.039 fun enough and I really enjoyed it. Uh for the most part, I 1293 01:27:16.079 --> 01:27:19.159 have issues with like the story and everything, which is I think much more 1294 01:27:19.199 --> 01:27:24.319 important to criticize, especially considering the team that was working at That just really 1295 01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:28.039 felt weird. But yeah, if you're hoping that seventeen will be something else, 1296 01:27:28.159 --> 01:27:32.279 don't worry. It definitely will. I think it's interesting because you see 1297 01:27:32.439 --> 01:27:38.359 the Final Fantasy competitors across the board kind of going back to be being super 1298 01:27:38.359 --> 01:27:44.399 heavy turn based like Persona and popping off and then like a Dragon adapting that 1299 01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:46.760 and try Drag Quest is the next Dragon Quest? I can't remember that? 1300 01:27:47.039 --> 01:27:50.199 Is that the one? The first time they're going to like the departure from 1301 01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:54.359 the twelve? They said, like, oh, it's gonna be a departure 1302 01:27:54.359 --> 01:27:57.119 and that's all they said. You don't know what they mean by that, 1303 01:27:57.319 --> 01:28:00.159 And it might doesn't really mean anything. Based on like the tie screen type 1304 01:28:00.199 --> 01:28:03.000 thing that they showed us, it might seem that they just mean tonally, 1305 01:28:03.079 --> 01:28:10.039 it's gonna be a little darker. These slimes don't smile anymore. Grubby eleven 1306 01:28:10.079 --> 01:28:13.520 they said was going to be an action RPG, and the Japanese audience that 1307 01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:16.159 heard that at some event or whoever revolted they're like, no, no, 1308 01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:19.600 no, no, no. Dragon Quest is sacred. That is our turn 1309 01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:24.359 based RPG. That chill and simple. Yeah, that's the one you don't 1310 01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:27.800 mess with. So I I don't know they're going to actually do anything more 1311 01:28:27.840 --> 01:28:32.319 than maybe a ATB type of yeah, switch up a question and an observation 1312 01:28:32.439 --> 01:28:35.760 here in like a drag infinite wealth. I know you can move your characters 1313 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:40.680 around. Does that matter for the combat? It's position The positioning is important 1314 01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:45.239 totally. It can't be very important. It has like as you select an 1315 01:28:45.239 --> 01:28:47.960 attack to hit an enemy, it has like a an arrow pointing where they'll 1316 01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:51.319 land afterwards, so like you can knock them into something, knock them into 1317 01:28:51.359 --> 01:28:57.039 your teammate attack. I think think of it like the one more system like 1318 01:28:57.159 --> 01:29:00.159 is sore of how that works. I think the next file Fantasy will be 1319 01:29:00.199 --> 01:29:01.680 something like that. It'll feel a bit more turn based, but it will 1320 01:29:01.720 --> 01:29:05.199 still have That's just I'm thinking of Dan as my use case here because like 1321 01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:10.640 Dan quote quote like hates turn based games, right, but you liked if 1322 01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:13.640 in it well for some reason, because I think there's just an active component 1323 01:29:13.680 --> 01:29:15.039 to it. Yeah, he likes a rebirth a lot too, right, 1324 01:29:15.119 --> 01:29:19.159 and well reburse I would be completely fine that they still if they just use 1325 01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:25.520 rebirth. Yeah, the battlesystem, I think basis they should. It's so 1326 01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:30.119 good because it is just like this perfect combination of the world's like real time 1327 01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:32.119 actiony thing and then like those moments where you stop and you issue commands. 1328 01:29:32.119 --> 01:29:34.800 Ooh, I love that. Hear me out here, hear me out here. 1329 01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:39.680 Since we are now a pro kingdom Hearts website, yes, beneficially declared 1330 01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:45.399 four, we may not get direct control over a Donald and Goofy, but 1331 01:29:45.439 --> 01:29:50.199 perhaps other team members. Maybe, Oh interesting, you could directly control a 1332 01:29:50.359 --> 01:29:58.560 Donald or Goofy in Kingdom Hearts three hundred and fifty eight over two and now 1333 01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:01.359 we're an anti Kingdom Hearts. Websit again everybody we did it. We were 1334 01:30:01.439 --> 01:30:08.159 saying, you almost Jay, he doesn't have that power, don't worry. 1335 01:30:09.159 --> 01:30:12.039 Yeah, he's out number Yeah. Are you going to go with the news? 1336 01:30:12.199 --> 01:30:15.640 The democracy? I guess all right, this isn't how divers there's no 1337 01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:24.359 democracy. Yes, it's all it's anti pol last thing here from square Enix. 1338 01:30:24.520 --> 01:30:28.560 Screenix hopes to develop Final Fantasy seven remake Part three in about three years. 1339 01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:30.560 That'll help, I think, because three years is not that long these 1340 01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:34.479 days when it comes to making video games, and you sort of take that 1341 01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:38.399 time, the intervening time, get three ready, for sure, but then 1342 01:30:38.479 --> 01:30:42.760 you get ready to represent the entire trilogy at that point, and I think 1343 01:30:42.760 --> 01:30:45.359 that gives them a lot of leeway to win a lot of people back. 1344 01:30:45.399 --> 01:30:48.880 Who were who did I think get turned off by? Like I don't want 1345 01:30:48.920 --> 01:30:51.720 to have a cliff finger. I want everything at once. Uh, And 1346 01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:55.479 I'll show up then, and I think I think they'll be I think they 1347 01:30:55.479 --> 01:30:58.319 will be able to capitalize on that. That would be a quicker turnaround than 1348 01:30:58.359 --> 01:31:02.359 rebirth to uh the Reaper, So that would be Hey, Sewan, I 1349 01:31:02.399 --> 01:31:06.039 have a I have a bucket chron style question here when you think the reword 1350 01:31:06.159 --> 01:31:12.279 will be in part three? Before you say, did you see that? 1351 01:31:12.520 --> 01:31:15.119 He They wanted to use reunion for part two, which makes sense because they 1352 01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:18.479 say that word constantly, but then Crisis Cord stole it from them, so 1353 01:31:18.520 --> 01:31:24.680 they couldn't. I mean, reunion should have been part three. You know 1354 01:31:24.680 --> 01:31:30.800 how the story works now, I you know, I I watched Maximilians videos 1355 01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:33.840 all the time, and I think I've been poisoned by him saying something along 1356 01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:40.680 lines of like reclamation. I don't know how long, but like, like 1357 01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:44.720 I know what it does actually start with ari but it's not like the resound 1358 01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:47.199 exactly. It's rare. It's a soft Yeah, I I don't know. 1359 01:31:47.279 --> 01:31:50.640 I feel like you can't do something. I see some suggests to chat. 1360 01:31:50.680 --> 01:31:55.119 You can't just do something as simple as like return or something like that, 1361 01:31:55.319 --> 01:32:03.119 or how about revive? What about revenge? Yeah? Yeah, we're just 1362 01:32:03.199 --> 01:32:05.560 using it for a podcast and nothing else, right, Yeah, they have 1363 01:32:05.600 --> 01:32:09.800 our permission. Yeah, let it be known right now, I'm staking my 1364 01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:15.760 claim on Revive. What does that mean, Eric, I guess I won't 1365 01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:21.800 say where, but actually yeah, I think yeah. I don't know they're 1366 01:32:21.840 --> 01:32:26.359 gonna get crazy with that. But just to cap off the story here, 1367 01:32:26.680 --> 01:32:29.840 this makes a lot of sense to me because if you have played f F 1368 01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:33.600 seven, you know that there's not a lot of new areas they have to 1369 01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:38.880 create, and that was easily the hardest part of making this trilogy is making 1370 01:32:38.880 --> 01:32:42.479 these areas that you're going to keep going back to in this game as an 1371 01:32:42.479 --> 01:32:45.479 open world game, and in the last game as you keep returning to places 1372 01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:50.680 even there you return to Midguar in f F seven and just have Midgar made. 1373 01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:55.119 They can just keep using all these assets, all these areas. So 1374 01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:59.920 I think, yeah, I think one year ish less than than the turn 1375 01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:03.359 around time Rebirth. That that sounds right here. Here's here's what it's going 1376 01:33:03.439 --> 01:33:08.760 to be called, or maybe the collection with all three of them that can 1377 01:33:08.880 --> 01:33:15.960 rebuy pretty good research. Uh Man, With with how indulgent they got with 1378 01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:23.640 the ending of Rebirth, I can't even imagine how uh far up to get 1379 01:33:23.680 --> 01:33:30.279 with the last Rejoice going, jan are you going to finish this game. 1380 01:33:30.319 --> 01:33:32.079 Are you gonna fish? I have to. I have to because like I 1381 01:33:32.159 --> 01:33:34.720 were waiting on you by the way for the spoiler cast. I don't think 1382 01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:39.720 we've actually said that. I know, I feel it in my bones. 1383 01:33:39.880 --> 01:33:43.479 It's just like I'm just staring at these trun You got good games to play, 1384 01:33:43.479 --> 01:33:47.439 man, I don't blame that's the problem the games. Uh. Meanwhile, 1385 01:33:47.520 --> 01:33:50.640 over at Star Wars Land, Star Wars Outlaws locks jab of the Hut 1386 01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:56.119 mission behind one hundred and ten dollars premium edition. People are people are really 1387 01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:59.479 mad about this game? You guys know this? Yeah, well, people 1388 01:33:59.560 --> 01:34:02.760 get yeah, may be upset about Star Wars in general, people aren't mad 1389 01:34:02.880 --> 01:34:08.760 nowadays, Dude, everyone needs to chill out for a second. But it's 1390 01:34:08.800 --> 01:34:11.600 like it's that balance right where I'm like, Okay, I'm not upset about 1391 01:34:11.600 --> 01:34:14.000 too many of these things, but people should be able to say their criticisms 1392 01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:16.359 because usually I benefit from that. It keeps developers and publishers in check. 1393 01:34:16.560 --> 01:34:20.199 Yes, and yet sometimes I'm like, y'all are kind of being a bunch 1394 01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:23.680 of dicks. Just chill out. Who cares? Yeah, Like, at 1395 01:34:23.600 --> 01:34:26.960 a certain point either by the game or don't get to that point with this, 1396 01:34:27.159 --> 01:34:29.439 it's like, look, it's like, yeah, it is scummy. 1397 01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:31.319 Of course, They're like they're judging way too much for like the one mission 1398 01:34:31.319 --> 01:34:34.359 with the recognizable character. But I'm just like, I don't care. I 1399 01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:38.600 don't need to play a job of the Hut mission which clearly isn't integral to 1400 01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:42.720 the story, or let's just be the main quest line. And I'm of 1401 01:34:42.720 --> 01:34:45.600 the opinion that we don't know based on what they've said so far, if 1402 01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:47.960 this is like one job of the Hut mission or the job of the Hut 1403 01:34:47.960 --> 01:34:53.359 mission. Is this like of missions and this is an extra one. If 1404 01:34:53.359 --> 01:34:55.760 it's that case, I'm like, this is nothing. I don't care about 1405 01:34:55.760 --> 01:34:58.920 that at all. If it's oh, Jeba, the Hut as a character 1406 01:34:58.920 --> 01:35:02.359 you can interact with is locked behind this more expensive edition, I get that. 1407 01:35:02.399 --> 01:35:05.960 Complain, go ahead and complain. That's a completely valid thing. I'm 1408 01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:09.960 also just not that worked up about it. So yeah, I think the 1409 01:35:09.960 --> 01:35:12.000 game just looks good. I want to play it. That's where I'm at 1410 01:35:12.039 --> 01:35:14.880 with this. I don't get what you were so and there is you know, 1411 01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:16.439 and I get it, hey Ubi Soft is doing being Ubi stuff, 1412 01:35:16.479 --> 01:35:19.199 But yeah, I kind of the hate boner for this game is a little 1413 01:35:20.119 --> 01:35:24.520 a lot. I looked out Afress on the chest. And just to be 1414 01:35:24.640 --> 01:35:28.079 clear, Job of the Hut is in the base game. It's just an 1415 01:35:28.159 --> 01:35:30.960 optional mission. Okay, you know that for sure. Okay, that's yeah. 1416 01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:35.319 And just like the way this is, like I've heard some people phrases 1417 01:35:35.359 --> 01:35:38.840 like you have to pay one hundred and ten dollars to get a Job of 1418 01:35:38.840 --> 01:35:41.760 the Hut mission. I mean it is one thing. Look, hundred ten 1419 01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:44.600 dollars for a premi edition. It's a lot of money. You should not 1420 01:35:44.720 --> 01:35:47.840 spend that. But there are other things here. It is a part of 1421 01:35:48.239 --> 01:35:53.680 the whole ensemble of whatever this stupid expensive addition is. But yeah, like 1422 01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:56.800 I don't know, like the special mission for the premium edition, it's been 1423 01:35:56.800 --> 01:36:00.119 done before. It's stupid. I agree, I just don't buy it. 1424 01:36:00.199 --> 01:36:02.439 And to be clear, like this is this type of thing has come up 1425 01:36:02.479 --> 01:36:05.800 on just like seems like every week for a past month or so of this 1426 01:36:05.920 --> 01:36:11.880 show. To be clear, what we're saying is it's totally cool to criticize 1427 01:36:11.960 --> 01:36:15.000 bad business decisions you all like, but no one's going to take you seriously 1428 01:36:15.079 --> 01:36:19.600 if you just are raging on your social media platform. Yes, it feels 1429 01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:23.840 like it is coming from that point of it's Ubu Soft game, and I'm 1430 01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:26.279 that at youb Soft Games. I am like a little bit like, Okay, 1431 01:36:26.279 --> 01:36:28.039 I get it. That feels a good opinion. We just keep to 1432 01:36:28.039 --> 01:36:30.319 ourselves now. I don't care if it's like, oh, this game is 1433 01:36:30.319 --> 01:36:34.119 doing a very specific thing, and if that thing is this content feels like 1434 01:36:34.119 --> 01:36:36.119 it should be part of the game, and you're charging me extra for it 1435 01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:42.039 again, yell about that. I just yeah, I'm at a point where 1436 01:36:42.039 --> 01:36:45.000 I've accepted this can't be me. Yeah, it kind of can't be me. 1437 01:36:45.159 --> 01:36:48.560 Yeah. Just as overused and sometimes misused as a phrase is, do 1438 01:36:48.800 --> 01:36:53.079 just vote with your wallet in this case, just wait until later. And 1439 01:36:53.279 --> 01:36:55.479 if you don't want to play it all, just don't play it, just 1440 01:36:55.600 --> 01:36:58.600 you know you And again, yeah you can't, but you're you're allowed to 1441 01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:01.039 criticize it. Just yeah, no, you're not. You're not allowed to 1442 01:37:01.079 --> 01:37:06.800 criticize it because yours are ship Stop posting, damn it. Yeah, maybe 1443 01:37:06.840 --> 01:37:10.520 that's a good Some people definitely need to do that. Yeah, I'm working 1444 01:37:10.520 --> 01:37:12.199 on it, all right, I'm working on it. No, No, 1445 01:37:13.079 --> 01:37:17.760 you get twelve podcast points with Jeff Stirred the ship with his pick, but 1446 01:37:17.840 --> 01:37:24.079 fos sold better than final fans seven. Rebirth Thing later posted the jip of 1447 01:37:24.159 --> 01:37:31.560 him in the backup. That was excellent tweet. Yeah, that's one. 1448 01:37:31.680 --> 01:37:35.880 I'm like, this is like purposely steering stirring the ship. But every normal 1449 01:37:35.880 --> 01:37:39.560 person is going to get that, and they did for the most part. 1450 01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:42.680 Do you know the Super Giant Games just tweeted by Haites too. Would you 1451 01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:44.479 like for me to read that to you? Yeah? Actually, do please 1452 01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:45.359 read that because I didn't put in the news. We saw that during the 1453 01:37:45.359 --> 01:37:48.600 break. Thank you. Uh. We're getting close to launching Haities to an 1454 01:37:48.600 --> 01:37:53.239 early access. A key step price of that is our Haites two technical tests, 1455 01:37:53.520 --> 01:37:56.039 which we plan to begin shortly, and then it's just like, hey, 1456 01:37:56.079 --> 01:37:59.439 you should sign up for that. So Haiti's two technical tests. We 1457 01:37:59.479 --> 01:38:01.319 did, come, don't we know and sign up for that because I want 1458 01:38:01.359 --> 01:38:06.439 me to get picked. Yes, so don't even So that's even before early 1459 01:38:06.479 --> 01:38:10.159 access. Is this technical test? So all right, I guess could be 1460 01:38:10.159 --> 01:38:13.880 playable. One step closer they and they have continued to say that the early 1461 01:38:13.880 --> 01:38:16.359 access will launch this year. So this is a step towards that I can't 1462 01:38:16.359 --> 01:38:19.439 even imagine. I liked Haitis so much. I can't even imagine how much 1463 01:38:19.479 --> 01:38:24.079 I'm going to lake a Haites too. I know it's a beautiful thing to 1464 01:38:24.119 --> 01:38:27.079 imagine, but it's like at a point where I'm like, yeah, it 1465 01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:29.920 doesn't feel real. So the idea of actually playing it, that's going to 1466 01:38:29.960 --> 01:38:32.119 be excellent. All Right, a bunch more headlines. We'll get through these 1467 01:38:32.159 --> 01:38:35.479 ones. The Fallout TV show gave the Fallout games a huge player bump as 1468 01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:41.000 everyone remembers that they actually do like Fallout. This has happened across all the 1469 01:38:41.039 --> 01:38:45.279 games. Fallout for a New Vegas and Fallout seventy six. Seventy six especially 1470 01:38:45.520 --> 01:38:48.000 are doing very well Throughout anywhere from like fifty to one hundred percent in terms 1471 01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:54.159 of daily average users on Steam or daily active users. And that is for 1472 01:38:54.279 --> 01:38:57.680 these games that have kept a lot of their audience for years and years and 1473 01:38:57.760 --> 01:39:00.600 years now, so they have anywhere from like ten thousand and a per day 1474 01:39:00.680 --> 01:39:03.720 on a good day, twenty thousand for some of these games. Now they're 1475 01:39:03.720 --> 01:39:08.199 getting like forty thousand, if not more than that. Right, A lot 1476 01:39:08.199 --> 01:39:11.520 of these fall games are like heavily discount right now because of this first person 1477 01:39:11.560 --> 01:39:16.359 shooter fest happening. So, and seventy six is free with your Twitch Prime 1478 01:39:16.399 --> 01:39:19.159 if you have Amazon Prime, right, So, yeah, a lot of 1479 01:39:19.159 --> 01:39:23.319 good ways to play it. Yeah, you know, and we said this 1480 01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:26.279 before, but boy, I bet they would be happy if there was like 1481 01:39:26.319 --> 01:39:30.119 a new seventy dollars game that always fall Out. New Fallout fans could be 1482 01:39:30.159 --> 01:39:32.199 buying yep, A lot of other companies and fund ways to take advantage to 1483 01:39:32.199 --> 01:39:34.399 that. They missed the opportunity here, But I think just I don't know, 1484 01:39:34.439 --> 01:39:38.920 getting people to play these games at all. Selling a few copies here 1485 01:39:38.960 --> 01:39:41.880 for ten dollars, they're going to be happy with that as well. Sure, 1486 01:39:42.079 --> 01:39:44.439 Fallout for us a lot of dalce and like Fallow seventy six. Of 1487 01:39:44.439 --> 01:39:46.439 course, the whole business model there is buy other things. Yeah, just 1488 01:39:46.479 --> 01:39:51.239 getting players in there is helpful. All Out Shelter is also popping off, 1489 01:39:51.399 --> 01:39:55.800 just like all the pomp off. That's when I'm almost surprised, like they 1490 01:39:55.800 --> 01:39:58.680 didn't like, well, let's get a fall Shelter to at least going I 1491 01:39:58.680 --> 01:40:01.239 mean an update, right, I think the base was actually still doing decently 1492 01:40:01.239 --> 01:40:04.479 well. I heard something about recently being like oh yeah people still play this. 1493 01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:09.199 There you go. Cool and then yes, the Fallout four next Gen 1494 01:40:09.279 --> 01:40:12.399 patches Hamlet of Texas and chappoints Out eight days from now. That's going to 1495 01:40:12.479 --> 01:40:15.920 launch and that'll probably help as well. Put it in front of people once 1496 01:40:15.920 --> 01:40:18.359 again. Oh grub, did you see that the PC version of that patch 1497 01:40:18.399 --> 01:40:23.880 has some exciting new features like wide screen? Yeah? I was like, 1498 01:40:23.920 --> 01:40:27.800 what what do you mean? Uh huh? They said wide screen and ultra 1499 01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:30.800 wide screen? Like all right, I think maybe the person who wrote this 1500 01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:33.000 didn't quite know is happy, I think, But that's okay. They mean 1501 01:40:33.119 --> 01:40:39.800 ultra wide and like super ultra wide, so like that not sixteen by nine 1502 01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:44.560 but like twenty four by nine and then thirty two by nine. That's right, 1503 01:40:44.680 --> 01:40:48.199 that's so hot. Nintenda won't be attending Games Comp twenty twenty four, 1504 01:40:48.239 --> 01:40:53.880 and news that isn't hot. This is mostly just hate them saying, hey, 1505 01:40:54.000 --> 01:40:56.239 yeah, Games Comp often, we are there often, we have a 1506 01:40:56.239 --> 01:40:59.239 pretty big showing. We're not going to be there and we're not bringing any 1507 01:40:59.279 --> 01:41:02.640 games and we won't be like Opening Night Live. People are taking this as 1508 01:41:02.680 --> 01:41:06.000 bad news. To me, this feels like that is an indication that they're 1509 01:41:06.039 --> 01:41:09.600 holding back something that they were going to want to talk about. At another 1510 01:41:09.640 --> 01:41:13.079 place probably, if not right away at that point, but not long after. 1511 01:41:13.359 --> 01:41:15.640 How do you guys read this? I don't know. My initial read 1512 01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:16.960 is like, yeah, they don't have much to talk about. Sure, 1513 01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:21.479 yeah, beat a slow year for them. It's going to be continue to 1514 01:41:21.520 --> 01:41:25.279 be a slow year from them. We are going to get you know, 1515 01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:28.239 ports and remakes, They're going to get a few more of those announced, 1516 01:41:28.319 --> 01:41:30.479 and yeah, maybe we're going to get direct this summer to announce a few 1517 01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:35.159 more of those. But yeah, nothing. They don't have anything to spare 1518 01:41:35.239 --> 01:41:40.039 for a game's calm right now. They also aren't ready to like do a 1519 01:41:40.119 --> 01:41:43.159 ton of backdoor meetings about the switch to at this point, because even that 1520 01:41:43.279 --> 01:41:47.479 is kind of far enough away Nintendo can dictate their own cadence of what they 1521 01:41:47.520 --> 01:41:51.319 want to do and when they want to do at this point. Oh wait 1522 01:41:51.399 --> 01:41:56.720 a second, this is how the switch to info first leaked out as well, 1523 01:41:56.960 --> 01:42:03.359 Games Come, Right, so maybe it was like people are talking about 1524 01:42:03.640 --> 01:42:09.880 this at games Com last year. This is all your fault to do this 1525 01:42:09.920 --> 01:42:14.399 to us, So yeah, we'll see. I mean, okay, so 1526 01:42:14.720 --> 01:42:16.359 games Come is in August? Right? Is that normally when they do it? 1527 01:42:17.720 --> 01:42:20.279 Okay? So yeah, they weren't going to have anything ready to go 1528 01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:24.479 for August. But that's the real reason. Yes, But do you think 1529 01:42:24.520 --> 01:42:32.319 we get news about Switch hardware before December? Before December at least like at 1530 01:42:32.359 --> 01:42:38.680 least the n X style teas right exactly, just the barely bearest of blips, 1531 01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:43.399 the small yes, Okay, even like a code name set out loud 1532 01:42:43.399 --> 01:42:45.800 publicly by them, I think would qualify to a certain extent for me. 1533 01:42:46.159 --> 01:42:51.279 I think we're going to get like investory information this year, and we'll give 1534 01:42:51.399 --> 01:42:56.720 some kind of reveal trailer at the end to end of the year early next 1535 01:42:56.760 --> 01:43:01.199 year. In that case, yeah, Switch. In that case August comes 1536 01:43:01.199 --> 01:43:03.439 around, you're like, yeah, let's just stay at home, continue to 1537 01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:08.079 work on that marketing campaign because that's going to launch a few months later, 1538 01:43:08.319 --> 01:43:12.800 you know, for all intents and purposes. I'm still it's the stupidest theory 1539 01:43:12.840 --> 01:43:17.520 that I have, but I'm dead set they're going to have a wearable that 1540 01:43:17.800 --> 01:43:20.319 is in the box. Jen I actually, at the end of the day, 1541 01:43:20.680 --> 01:43:25.319 a gimmick like that wouldn't surprise me at this point, because that's the 1542 01:43:25.359 --> 01:43:29.039 kind of thing where it's like it's optional and it can be like a few 1543 01:43:29.079 --> 01:43:30.880 features here and there, and then it goes in a drawer and we can 1544 01:43:30.960 --> 01:43:34.319 keep selling you video games on the thing you actually bought. Rob the robot 1545 01:43:34.399 --> 01:43:38.760 is something they've always kind of thought about. Sometimes it's just like features they 1546 01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:42.119 add on top. Yeah, here have a fun watch. The watch has 1547 01:43:42.199 --> 01:43:45.600 like another feature if you want to use it or not. Right, man, 1548 01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:50.039 I could see it all right. Nintendo Indie World is returning tomorrow and 1549 01:43:50.119 --> 01:43:56.000 Nintendo will host an Indie World showcase tomorrow at three pm UK time, So 1550 01:43:56.039 --> 01:43:59.840 that means that's going to be like what nine am and ten Eastern? Thank 1551 01:43:59.840 --> 01:44:01.840 you? Uh. The announcements will focus on games coming to the platform in 1552 01:44:01.880 --> 01:44:06.319 twenty twenty four. Unlike the main Nintendo Direct presentations, Indie World presentations focus 1553 01:44:06.399 --> 01:44:16.119 on smaller indie games. It's the name implies, right, are like I 1554 01:44:16.479 --> 01:44:19.800 don't know, Like maybe you should get so excited. I saw Mary Kish 1555 01:44:19.880 --> 01:44:25.319 on Twitter get excited about your body. Look normally I want it. Butt's 1556 01:44:25.319 --> 01:44:30.279 been getting rated everywhere, and it's like, if not here, then when 1557 01:44:30.439 --> 01:44:34.239 Gillard's and coming up as Summer Game Fast and maybe there maybe I think so. 1558 01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:39.880 Didn't they do a shadow drop at Summer Game Fast? Yeah? Yeah, 1559 01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:43.760 but I don't know it could be there, but it could. It's 1560 01:44:44.319 --> 01:44:46.680 it's it's like a twenty percent chance, which is not terrible for this game. 1561 01:44:46.880 --> 01:44:53.079 The fact there's a twenty percent chance that is good. It's absolutely possible. 1562 01:44:53.399 --> 01:44:56.680 You know, I think you're saying spoon heaven. We know, yes, 1563 01:44:59.119 --> 01:45:01.800 to be clear of time, all night silk song. The name. 1564 01:45:01.920 --> 01:45:06.760 Jeff thought it was the better name because it's more memorable. Come on, 1565 01:45:09.560 --> 01:45:13.279 that is, you know, like Mega sixty four finally put out their game 1566 01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:15.520 a little bit. If we ever we make a giant bomb game, it 1567 01:45:15.560 --> 01:45:21.840 needs to be spoon perfect. That. Yeah, it'll be up a very 1568 01:45:21.880 --> 01:45:27.960 big, hand crafted met and then damn won't like it because it'll remind him 1569 01:45:28.000 --> 01:45:30.399 of like a flash cartoon he saw on new Grounds once. Then there will 1570 01:45:30.439 --> 01:45:35.199 be a strong gambling component somehow weird some reason. Yeah, all right, 1571 01:45:35.279 --> 01:45:40.399 last couple of headlines here. EA's Black Panther game will be open world according 1572 01:45:40.439 --> 01:45:44.479 to job listings. Yes, for one, this is this job listing does 1573 01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:47.079 just straight up saying you will be crafting stuff in this game's open world. 1574 01:45:47.119 --> 01:45:50.920 So this isn't some like suggestion or a thing where a job listing says if 1575 01:45:50.960 --> 01:45:54.239 you have experience in this that'd be nice. It's like, no, they're 1576 01:45:54.239 --> 01:45:57.199 saying the game has an open world. And then of course this Mike applied 1577 01:45:57.680 --> 01:46:00.760 big surprise for a superhero action game, especially one where it's Black Panther, 1578 01:46:00.920 --> 01:46:04.800 and you can imagine being in Wakanda and exploring that alone. But even if 1579 01:46:04.800 --> 01:46:08.720 they put them in another environment, that would also be very cool. This 1580 01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:13.319 is the Black Panther game that we had a trailer out recently. No, 1581 01:46:13.600 --> 01:46:16.159 that was a different The one was America. That's a completely different one. 1582 01:46:16.279 --> 01:46:19.880 That's nineteen forty three, and that is the one where it is the previous 1583 01:46:19.920 --> 01:46:27.359 Black Panther Tachaka and Captain America during World War Two, and that is what 1584 01:46:27.680 --> 01:46:30.159 Yeah, that one will not be open war. That'll be like your Last 1585 01:46:30.199 --> 01:46:32.720 of Us, the charted style, mostly lining your game. And then this 1586 01:46:32.760 --> 01:46:36.439 one is from people who used to work at I can't remember the name of 1587 01:46:36.479 --> 01:46:40.439 the studio, but they've worked on a Shadow of Mortor and they did those 1588 01:46:40.439 --> 01:46:43.760 two games, and now they have a new studio at EA making this game. 1589 01:46:43.960 --> 01:46:45.960 So that's that's the lineage there. And then there's also the Ironman game 1590 01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:50.359 from Motive, which Monolith Monolith, Yes, Monolith is the Shadow. Yes, 1591 01:46:50.359 --> 01:46:55.319 the Shattle Mortar team. That sounds right. And then yeah Ironman games 1592 01:46:55.399 --> 01:47:00.199 so and that's a different as well, all right, and then PERSDA one 1593 01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:04.880 and two remix are coming. It's claimed get Yes, they don't have color. 1594 01:47:05.640 --> 01:47:09.479 The colors don't matter. It's okay, it's a different time. Bucket 1595 01:47:09.479 --> 01:47:14.159 Shoon can change these things. They will tell you what they got remade out. 1596 01:47:14.199 --> 01:47:20.520 They would have colors. The help Big Brain Big Brain six is green. 1597 01:47:20.840 --> 01:47:27.000 They retroactively make one and two purple and orange. It all comes together. 1598 01:47:27.479 --> 01:47:29.960 I go, oh, we're gonna run out of colors though. Oh 1599 01:47:30.039 --> 01:47:34.199 boy, and Bucket Sewn had a kid, it would just be called Bucket 1600 01:47:34.239 --> 01:47:43.239 Sean. Yeah, don't fuck the bucket Sewan. Bucket shean my best friend 1601 01:47:45.199 --> 01:47:50.000 Green into the air. Okay, all right, Hey Sirie Summer Game Fest. 1602 01:47:50.199 --> 01:47:56.199 Bucket right, Sean on it. Thank you. This is nice. 1603 01:47:56.560 --> 01:48:00.760 Those games are very old. They're very different than what most people expect from 1604 01:48:00.760 --> 01:48:05.680 a persona game, very different combat style. It has the old school shimmagami 1605 01:48:05.720 --> 01:48:12.239 tense kind of demon negotiations, which I think throws some people off. They 1606 01:48:12.279 --> 01:48:15.079 don't have social links, they don't really have the calendar system. It is 1607 01:48:15.119 --> 01:48:19.439 still high schoolers. It's kind of the big connecting thing there, So I'd 1608 01:48:19.439 --> 01:48:25.399 be curious what this would look like even you know, the leaker here is 1609 01:48:25.439 --> 01:48:28.920 like, maybe this is gonna be more of like a remaster, less like 1610 01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:32.319 some Big Persona three reload style remake. Sure, so who knows? Also 1611 01:48:32.359 --> 01:48:36.800 said like, don't expect this anytime soon, Like clearly they're going to remake 1612 01:48:36.880 --> 01:48:42.239 all of them except for five eventually here, and I would even I'd be 1613 01:48:42.239 --> 01:48:45.000 shocked if we even got these before four, just because four is the other 1614 01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:47.199 PS two one. You just remade one of the PS two. Oh so 1615 01:48:47.239 --> 01:48:50.000 you think of timeline, is they six is next? And then a four 1616 01:48:50.079 --> 01:48:55.119 remake? And then you're saying it's so weird, Becai, this is definitely 1617 01:48:55.199 --> 01:48:58.760 their next project, Yeah, because we know it's in development. Yeah, 1618 01:48:58.800 --> 01:49:00.840 okay, that's what you're Okay, that makes sense, but six years very 1619 01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:02.840 far away. You guys don't think they could have one and too ready to 1620 01:49:02.880 --> 01:49:08.720 go if they're smaller. I'll say, I don't think that any of the 1621 01:49:08.760 --> 01:49:15.720 Big Persona teams, either the Fantasia what's that one called? Yeah, neither 1622 01:49:15.800 --> 01:49:18.359 neither of them or the people just did reload. I don't think they're working 1623 01:49:18.359 --> 01:49:23.680 on Persona one and two. I think they're given that to somebody whoa maybe 1624 01:49:24.399 --> 01:49:29.079 ah PEA Studio is really weird, dude. They do not like giving stuff 1625 01:49:29.119 --> 01:49:33.479 to other teams, Like even like Persona four Golden, they just made that 1626 01:49:33.600 --> 01:49:36.520 in turn or sorry sorry. The re releases, This is where I was 1627 01:49:36.520 --> 01:49:40.840 going with this. The re releases of Golden and P three P they did 1628 01:49:40.880 --> 01:49:44.840 themselves and then just brought in I forget what his name is, but the 1629 01:49:45.000 --> 01:49:48.680 the person who did like the Dark Souls mod tool or whatever big in the 1630 01:49:48.680 --> 01:49:53.720 PC mining scene. They just brought that person in to like help them develop 1631 01:49:53.720 --> 01:49:59.000 a good PC port And I'm thinking there is that precedent there of they did 1632 01:49:59.079 --> 01:50:03.319 just port P four Golden and P three portable. What if they just port 1633 01:50:03.359 --> 01:50:08.119 the PSP versions of one and two over that could take some nice cities. 1634 01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:10.680 Yeah, it might be more like that. In that case, it's gonna 1635 01:50:10.680 --> 01:50:15.279 have to be like the Big because I imagine the main teams, the main 1636 01:50:15.279 --> 01:50:19.039 teams are going to be working on Persona six and then Persona for rewatch or 1637 01:50:19.039 --> 01:50:23.800 whatever. Yeah, another rething. Yeah, because of the TVs. There 1638 01:50:23.800 --> 01:50:28.520 we go, gold Member, what color the buckets at Peace Studios. What 1639 01:50:28.600 --> 01:50:31.279 I want to know, here's what I want. I want to throw, 1640 01:50:31.520 --> 01:50:38.279 throw the colors out, get them, get them out of here. I 1641 01:50:38.319 --> 01:50:45.199 can say that, cover your ears and you don't even say that. I 1642 01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:49.840 don't know either PERSONA one and two or seven. Have it be like in 1643 01:50:49.960 --> 01:50:54.279 Dune two when you go to the Hearken Ends, it's just like a harsh 1644 01:50:54.279 --> 01:50:58.159 black and white that rules god negative? Is that what they did there? 1645 01:50:58.439 --> 01:51:01.640 Yeah? You guys know what jessure color is great? Gray? Yeah you 1646 01:51:01.680 --> 01:51:06.720 said that. I was like, dude, silver, Like say silver, 1647 01:51:08.000 --> 01:51:10.600 you know what's fun is to like something? And then people say that and 1648 01:51:10.640 --> 01:51:15.520 then laugh. It's like I is a Kingdom Hearts fan, have no idea 1649 01:51:15.560 --> 01:51:18.920 what that is? Yeah, Sonic fan right here not knowing what Jeff rob 1650 01:51:19.039 --> 01:51:23.680 is talking about, like popular thing. Okay, so you guys are saying 1651 01:51:23.720 --> 01:51:29.720 you don't like gray. I like gray. Difference, I don't like Sonic, 1652 01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:33.159 I don't like Kingdom Hearts and I've played both. That's difference. I 1653 01:51:33.199 --> 01:51:36.600 just don't think I've ever heard that be somebody's answer before. And I'm laughing 1654 01:51:36.600 --> 01:51:40.840 at you for big different. That is that's fair. That that a little 1655 01:51:41.600 --> 01:51:45.000 weird there's nothing wrong with it inherently, it's just weird. I need a 1656 01:51:45.000 --> 01:51:49.399 further modifier here, grub, do you like the color g r a y 1657 01:51:49.560 --> 01:51:55.119 or e g r a y. What is that? There's between the color 1658 01:51:55.199 --> 01:52:00.439 silver and the color gray. There's like radiance radiance? What about chrome? 1659 01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:04.199 Like? These are just all different versus. That's why I like Greg Mike 1660 01:52:04.239 --> 01:52:08.199 manaughty. I need you to imagine in your mind's eye. All right, 1661 01:52:08.319 --> 01:52:14.880 think of Silver the Hedgehog. Right, it's black. Ah, I got 1662 01:52:15.159 --> 01:52:20.000 I got silver and shadow. Okay, Now think of if instead of calling 1663 01:52:20.399 --> 01:52:25.399 him Silver the Hedgehog, we called him Gray the Hedgehog. Very different. 1664 01:52:25.560 --> 01:52:30.439 Wow, that's cool, very different, right, m What are you making 1665 01:52:30.479 --> 01:52:33.119 them do in your head? Right now? Why are you thinking this? 1666 01:52:33.279 --> 01:52:39.960 Slog about it? Stop it? Yeah, it's weird, it's different. 1667 01:52:40.119 --> 01:52:43.159 That wouldn't work as well. You're right there, you go. All right, 1668 01:52:43.199 --> 01:52:46.640 thank you for anticipating. In the you'll hear about Keanu rees being the 1669 01:52:46.680 --> 01:52:51.239 voice of Shadow the Hedgehog. Yeah, what's happening. I wish it was 1670 01:52:51.279 --> 01:53:00.039 hating. Christian said that'd be funny, like that star of a little It. 1671 01:53:00.840 --> 01:53:03.119 All right, let's get to this last story because it's a wild one. 1672 01:53:03.199 --> 01:53:08.800 Japanese Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Hacker has been arrested for selling modified Pokemon. 1673 01:53:09.000 --> 01:53:13.960 Yeah. Uh, he apparently made millions of yen doing this. Well that's 1674 01:53:14.000 --> 01:53:19.520 not that much money. It's talking at twenty bucks. Yeah, but they 1675 01:53:19.640 --> 01:53:24.279 arrested them, they found him. I'm just imagine like running this criminal racket 1676 01:53:24.439 --> 01:53:28.119 of selling modified Pokemon. I didn't realize it was that much of a scene 1677 01:53:28.119 --> 01:53:31.239 that you can make. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah exactly. Minor state 1678 01:53:31.319 --> 01:53:34.119 was like Pokemon company knows when you do this, and you can crack down 1679 01:53:34.159 --> 01:53:38.760 on it. So but like are people just like running back like back like 1680 01:53:38.800 --> 01:53:43.079 alley games or something, and that's why it's valuable to him. Here's here's 1681 01:53:43.079 --> 01:53:50.439 a differentiator. Grub is in Japan, just anything involving modifying stuff is very 1682 01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:55.119 frowned upon, to the point of in some and says being illegal. I 1683 01:53:55.159 --> 01:54:00.439 believe console modding is straight up illegal in Japan. It's like it's just a 1684 01:54:00.560 --> 01:54:11.199 job over there, and so many companies they do crack down on very weird 1685 01:54:11.560 --> 01:54:15.720 things, and so I think that's what that's what's happening here is just companies 1686 01:54:15.760 --> 01:54:20.680 are seeing a modification of their game and going after someone. I'm sorry, 1687 01:54:21.079 --> 01:54:26.359 sorry, good news. The news segment's over. We're done with that, 1688 01:54:27.279 --> 01:54:31.479 right. Oh boy, we're learning a lot today about each other. We're 1689 01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:39.920 learning something Bucket Sean, my best friend Jeff Beckelar, don't don't miss the 1690 01:54:39.960 --> 01:54:45.039 podcast again. This is god. It is like we have substitute teacher energy. 1691 01:54:45.079 --> 01:54:49.479 Oh no, it's like grub is gone for a week or I'm gone 1692 01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:54.640 for a week, but like back Daddy can't leave. You're the glue because 1693 01:54:54.640 --> 01:54:58.359 you make people feel bad when they go with these tangents. Yeah, oh 1694 01:54:58.560 --> 01:55:02.600 yeah, so bad. Make me feel like me. He'll do this. 1695 01:55:02.600 --> 01:55:05.880 Look to you, He'll be like Mike, is it that he doesn't do 1696 01:55:05.960 --> 01:55:09.680 it to you? Or you just don't care, you're just unfazed. But 1697 01:55:11.000 --> 01:55:15.640 what are we doing here, folks here? Can you keep that in mind 1698 01:55:15.720 --> 01:55:18.159 when we head into the emails, and we'll have to the emails after quick 1699 01:55:18.199 --> 01:55:31.800 breaking break emails emails. Send your emails to blombcast giant bomb dot com. 1700 01:55:31.840 --> 01:55:34.920 I will read every single one of them. I print some of them out 1701 01:55:35.159 --> 01:55:39.680 and then I shred them out of frustration and anguish. And then I send 1702 01:55:39.720 --> 01:55:42.840 a couple to my mom and point to her and say hey, people like 1703 01:55:42.920 --> 01:55:45.079 me on the internet. And then she smiles, pats me on the shoulder 1704 01:55:45.199 --> 01:55:49.600 and goes, you're still not getting that twenty bucks that you need right now, 1705 01:55:49.880 --> 01:55:54.359 please go do this menial chore for me. Thank you, son. 1706 01:55:54.640 --> 01:55:58.319 And then I smile and I say yes, just like I say yes to 1707 01:55:58.399 --> 01:56:01.920 reading this email from someone I didn't write. Oh there we go, Corey 1708 01:56:01.960 --> 01:56:10.039 Porter uh film student and k you Okay, all right? Corey writes in 1709 01:56:10.279 --> 01:56:14.840 with a blind ranking. Hey, gang, I've seen some blind rankings online 1710 01:56:14.840 --> 01:56:17.680 and thought it'd be fun to send you one of one for best controllers. 1711 01:56:17.960 --> 01:56:23.520 I will give you five random controllers and you have to rank them one through 1712 01:56:23.600 --> 01:56:26.960 five without knowing the next one on the list. So don't pull up the 1713 01:56:27.000 --> 01:56:30.760 email. Boys. Yeah, and I strolled away without I saw the first 1714 01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:33.800 one. That's it. Once? What's best one or five? Let's say 1715 01:56:33.840 --> 01:56:38.119 one? Yeah, okay, in order. Once you decided, you can 1716 01:56:38.199 --> 01:56:41.520 move to the next, but you cannot change the place of the previous. 1717 01:56:42.600 --> 01:56:45.119 There's a lot of TikTok exactly like this. Yes, okay, I think 1718 01:56:45.159 --> 01:56:47.359 it'd be more fun if this were a group decision. But it's up to 1719 01:56:47.359 --> 01:56:49.920 you if you want to do them individually. I hope you have fun with 1720 01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:54.600 this. Corey a film student at KU. So here's a list. All 1721 01:56:54.680 --> 01:56:58.920 right, I'm gonna say the first one, and you three decide where this 1722 01:56:59.000 --> 01:57:01.319 goes one through five? All right, boys, gotcha? Okay? The 1723 01:57:01.359 --> 01:57:09.760 original Xbox S controller. Oh s that okay? That was okay. I 1724 01:57:10.079 --> 01:57:13.600 like a three I would put I'm gonna put it at three the middle of 1725 01:57:13.640 --> 01:57:16.640 the road, almost two, a three sixty, which is a much better 1726 01:57:16.640 --> 01:57:19.640 controller. But yeah, okay, let's go three. So we're putting it 1727 01:57:19.760 --> 01:57:24.439 three. All right. Look, you guys deciding so so quickly together. 1728 01:57:24.520 --> 01:57:30.680 I'm proud of you. Uh. Next one, the GameCube keyboard controller. 1729 01:57:31.680 --> 01:57:38.720 It has way more buttons than any other controller that they're gonna bring. God, 1730 01:57:38.880 --> 01:57:43.199 okay, this is tough because it's like, I like, I would 1731 01:57:43.239 --> 01:57:46.359 like using that thing, and it's still like a GameCube controller, just with 1732 01:57:46.399 --> 01:57:49.600 a keyboard in between it. Yeah, it's just like gig control that you 1733 01:57:49.600 --> 01:57:53.840 can also use to like talk ship to your friends and fancy star online. 1734 01:57:54.880 --> 01:57:58.199 Okay, So here's the thing. Jokes aside, I genuinely think you'll be 1735 01:57:58.239 --> 01:58:00.880 tiring to have your arms like held out, you know, a time. 1736 01:58:00.680 --> 01:58:03.159 That's why you kind of rested on your lappy lap as you I do. 1737 01:58:03.239 --> 01:58:05.479 I mean that's why I actually don't have back there that I usually have a 1738 01:58:05.479 --> 01:58:09.239 pillow on my chair because I used that to like rest my hands on while 1739 01:58:09.239 --> 01:58:12.399 I'm playing games. I see we can. Then we got to do two 1740 01:58:13.199 --> 01:58:15.920 because I think we're going to have two that are going to be definitely worse 1741 01:58:15.159 --> 01:58:18.920 than the Xbox, and we're not gonna have two that are definitely better. 1742 01:58:20.600 --> 01:58:24.279 Maybe not. I think they're going to be all jokey from here. One 1743 01:58:24.359 --> 01:58:28.159 like the CD I controller and I don't know control, we need at least 1744 01:58:28.159 --> 01:58:31.720 one PlayStation controller. I think every PlayStation controller is better than the gamecuborder controller. 1745 01:58:31.760 --> 01:58:35.279 I think there's still gonna be one. I want to put it four. 1746 01:58:35.560 --> 01:58:39.159 I want to put it as well. I vote to but the you 1747 01:58:39.199 --> 01:58:41.920 know democracy here, that's why we can do four. Then, okay, 1748 01:58:42.039 --> 01:58:44.920 you're going to put this at four. We're putting. You're going to regret 1749 01:58:44.920 --> 01:58:47.840 your words indeeds. Maybe I'll put it on record. I also don't love 1750 01:58:47.960 --> 01:58:53.760 the GameCube controller. I it's a very good controller, but you're a bad 1751 01:58:53.800 --> 01:58:56.920 person. We get it, okay, all right, Continuing down the blind 1752 01:58:57.000 --> 01:59:01.600 rankings, the Steel Battalion controller. Oh, say, they're all gonna be 1753 01:59:01.680 --> 01:59:05.119 joking now here we are. So is this number one? Is this number 1754 01:59:05.159 --> 01:59:11.399 five? We also too? Yeah? Right? Is this better than the 1755 01:59:11.439 --> 01:59:16.760 original Xbox S controller? I mean, in some ways it is cool. 1756 01:59:16.840 --> 01:59:20.880 It's a cool controller. Use cases are limited, right, but when you're 1757 01:59:21.000 --> 01:59:26.520 using it, it kind of is number one on any list exactly. I 1758 01:59:26.560 --> 01:59:30.520 feel like it's either two or five, Like I wouldn't put that one, 1759 01:59:30.119 --> 01:59:32.640 sure, I mean, I'll put it at two. Let's put it at 1760 01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:36.000 too. That's fun, all right, we're doing too, Yes, all 1761 01:59:36.079 --> 01:59:41.039 right, it's gonna make four and deciding one in five here very hard. 1762 01:59:41.319 --> 01:59:45.279 We're gonna a really weird one as the best controller, all right. The 1763 01:59:45.279 --> 01:59:50.000 next controller, the guitar Hero controller. Oh, I would put that at 1764 01:59:50.039 --> 01:59:56.960 one, easy, all day long. And then controller rules good either the 1765 01:59:57.000 --> 02:00:00.560 best or the worst, according to I's just I'm scared about what's the next. 1766 02:00:00.560 --> 02:00:03.680 It's not the worst controller, I mean, okay, it's it's got 1767 02:00:03.680 --> 02:00:06.119 to be number one because I don't think it should go fine, Yeah, 1768 02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:11.119 I'm scared. Does the original Guitar Hero controller have the whammy bar? It 1769 02:00:11.159 --> 02:00:15.199 does? Yeah? Yeah, it has all the functionality it is guitar? 1770 02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:19.760 Is it guitar Hero one? Specifically? John I just says guitar Hero controller? 1771 02:00:19.960 --> 02:00:23.680 Okay, I can choose to think that means the world too, or 1772 02:00:23.720 --> 02:00:27.039 a guitar which rips. I mean, even if it was the bass, 1773 02:00:27.039 --> 02:00:29.399 it's fine, And I think I think we gotta go with one for this 1774 02:00:29.439 --> 02:00:33.119 one. I'm concerned, man, this was the DJ Hero controller, I'd 1775 02:00:33.159 --> 02:00:40.039 be like one all day, brother rules, we can put it one. 1776 02:00:40.239 --> 02:00:43.319 Is there anything more stylis for someone to kick your ass and guilty you're at 1777 02:00:43.319 --> 02:00:48.560 EVO with than the guitar Hero It's pretty exactly, pretty exactly okay? Are 1778 02:00:48.560 --> 02:00:53.640 we are we going with number one here? It's number one because this next 1779 02:00:53.640 --> 02:00:58.039 one, this next one is totally a dual shock or something. Next controller, 1780 02:00:58.119 --> 02:01:03.359 which is automatically number five the Nintendo sixty four controller. Oh yeah, 1781 02:01:04.319 --> 02:01:09.319 we did a good job here. I like. I like the style of 1782 02:01:09.359 --> 02:01:13.319 rankings. I like, uh steph being random and then having to vy for 1783 02:01:13.359 --> 02:01:15.840 a spot. Yes, it's a good that we should do those tiktoks. 1784 02:01:16.279 --> 02:01:21.439 What what is the what is the ranking? Then? So from worst here 1785 02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:27.520 we have number five the Nintendo sixty four controller. Number four the GameCube keyboard 1786 02:01:27.600 --> 02:01:31.359 controller, number three, the Xbox S controller, the second best game controller 1787 02:01:31.359 --> 02:01:35.079 of all time, Steel Battalion controller, and the number one with a bullet 1788 02:01:35.479 --> 02:01:39.760 the guitar Hero control. Let's stand by this. I like how they started 1789 02:01:39.760 --> 02:01:44.640 with a very normal control. That's what and there. The only mistake is 1790 02:01:44.760 --> 02:01:50.279 the Steel Battalion controller should be number one. Probably the board controller should be 1791 02:01:51.039 --> 02:01:57.880 three. I think I could in hindsight, I could see six box s 1792 02:01:57.880 --> 02:02:01.359 should be number one recordarsight, so yeah, I would say you're right there, 1793 02:02:01.439 --> 02:02:10.239 jan oh ky dooky. Next email is from Vaness Vanessa Rights and about 1794 02:02:10.239 --> 02:02:15.239 destructive media. Hey, Bombers, I just finished playing Celeste and this game 1795 02:02:15.359 --> 02:02:18.920 absolutely destroyed me on an emotional level. I really wasn't ready for this because 1796 02:02:18.960 --> 02:02:24.159 I just finished playing Persona three for the first time, which also fucking destroyed 1797 02:02:24.199 --> 02:02:26.840 me. I also beat Persona three and then got the pressed for a while. 1798 02:02:26.840 --> 02:02:29.960 Don't worry, that's normal. Same part of this is probably because I 1799 02:02:29.960 --> 02:02:32.600 just started transitioning and the hormones are making me hella emotional. But I want 1800 02:02:32.800 --> 02:02:38.600 more. Do you all have any other games you'd recommend in the emotionally going 1801 02:02:38.640 --> 02:02:43.960 to destroy you? Genre? Lots of love, Vanessa from Denver. Maybe 1802 02:02:44.119 --> 02:02:48.520 it's very specific to my circumstances, but Wolfenstein to the New Clausus, the 1803 02:02:48.560 --> 02:02:54.119 scenes there with like the family and then how BJ like responds to all that 1804 02:02:54.119 --> 02:02:57.880 stuff really gets me. I don't know if it's gonna destroy you, but 1805 02:02:58.039 --> 02:03:00.439 it's definitely the stuff that I think about constantly. In that way I see 1806 02:03:00.479 --> 02:03:05.119 Spearfaarer and chat that's a pretty good one to destroy you emotionally. Definitely. 1807 02:03:06.199 --> 02:03:10.439 Four had a very similar effect to me. Even though like the ending is 1808 02:03:10.439 --> 02:03:13.279 it literally as sad, it's still kind of like it's, you know, 1809 02:03:13.600 --> 02:03:15.159 a change, and I get emotional about that. I was gonna say, 1810 02:03:15.159 --> 02:03:17.920 do you have one hundred and twenty hours? Because five Royal will do the 1811 02:03:18.079 --> 02:03:21.920 same thing to you for maybe different reasons. All these really long arpe uses 1812 02:03:21.920 --> 02:03:25.119 are like that because you kind of have this like, you know, it's 1813 02:03:25.159 --> 02:03:28.720 like these people for so long and it's like it's like your family, and 1814 02:03:28.840 --> 02:03:30.600 then all of a sudden, it's like I never hear from these people again. 1815 02:03:30.680 --> 02:03:33.640 That's right, they only exist in a video game. Oh no, 1816 02:03:35.199 --> 02:03:42.439 maybe the world ends with you with another original on the original one. But 1817 02:03:42.560 --> 02:03:46.640 if you're looking to go outside side of JRPG's I would recommend the Guardians of 1818 02:03:46.680 --> 02:03:48.920 the Galaxy video game. Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good one. 1819 02:03:49.279 --> 02:03:56.680 Jesus Christ trying to remember if ten was emotionally destroying or actually so confusing that 1820 02:03:56.800 --> 02:03:59.359 not really, it was just kind of like what it has, like a 1821 02:03:59.479 --> 02:04:03.239 moment when you know what the Oh but font facing nine, yes, fa 1822 02:04:03.399 --> 02:04:08.560 facing nine, play fun facing nine if you want to be emotionally chats mentioning 1823 02:04:08.560 --> 02:04:11.039 it here And I saw so many people saying this on Twitter. Was on 1824 02:04:11.079 --> 02:04:13.880 sale for like two dollars the our day before Your Eyes for your Eyes. 1825 02:04:13.960 --> 02:04:17.800 Yes, I haven't sat down to play, meaning from i've heard. Yeah, 1826 02:04:18.000 --> 02:04:20.239 the problem is like I really want to play it, but I want 1827 02:04:20.279 --> 02:04:24.159 to play it into dr and it's only on PSVR two and I don't have 1828 02:04:24.199 --> 02:04:27.800 a PSVR well because they wouldn't need the eye tracking that only PSVR two have. 1829 02:04:27.960 --> 02:04:29.359 No, I no, I get it, but I mean I would 1830 02:04:29.439 --> 02:04:30.920 played on well okay, right, but if you can play it on your 1831 02:04:30.960 --> 02:04:33.199 phone, you can play on your phone, you play your phone, you 1832 02:04:33.199 --> 02:04:35.720 can play with a webcam on your computer. I'm just gonna suck it up 1833 02:04:35.760 --> 02:04:40.840 and do that. So, uh, if you're into Zelda, I will 1834 02:04:40.880 --> 02:04:43.439 say I talked about this in my Game of the yearless last year, Tears 1835 02:04:43.439 --> 02:04:45.439 of the Kingdom definitely had moments like that for me where I was just sure, 1836 02:04:45.520 --> 02:04:50.039 I was gone, Yeah, if you have a thousand hours to spare, 1837 02:04:50.279 --> 02:04:56.079 you can play some fount Facey fourteen get There's some good story beats in 1838 02:04:56.159 --> 02:05:01.680 that game, very good ones Oco Dad that made me cry. I also 1839 02:05:01.720 --> 02:05:06.079 had a really weird emotional response to being Boga Solid to the first time. 1840 02:05:06.119 --> 02:05:10.720 But I can't even explain why. It was like one of those things where 1841 02:05:10.760 --> 02:05:12.760 like you beat it in like the middle of the night, it's like four 1842 02:05:12.800 --> 02:05:16.479 am, and it plays that really sad piano jazzy song and I'm just like 1843 02:05:16.520 --> 02:05:19.880 sitting there thinking about things. And I was fifteen or whatever, and I 1844 02:05:19.960 --> 02:05:26.720 don't know that hit Alexi was with some good picks here, Chickory and a 1845 02:05:26.840 --> 02:05:30.319 Space for the Unbound, very good, very good cry games. Game of 1846 02:05:30.319 --> 02:05:33.960 the Year Chickory, Uh, Griffondego will get you to play Grimpfindego. Everybody 1847 02:05:33.960 --> 02:05:36.880 everyone played Grymfindango. We're all gonna play Grymfindango. It's going to be great. 1848 02:05:38.399 --> 02:05:40.800 The Red Wings game made me cry last night. That was pretty exciting. 1849 02:05:40.840 --> 02:05:46.479 So no losing audio files or video files makes me cry. So just 1850 02:05:47.239 --> 02:05:54.079 emory card, you know, just drive down some stairs. Yeah I didn't 1851 02:05:54.119 --> 02:05:58.279 hand. I'm not usually much of like an actual tears guy. But uh 1852 02:05:58.640 --> 02:06:04.279 the epilogue to the the Sun Arcana in Persona three that you see at the 1853 02:06:04.319 --> 02:06:08.000 end of the game, yeah, yeah, like just like that where you're 1854 02:06:08.079 --> 02:06:11.600 talking to the person's mother. I was just like I was, was kind 1855 02:06:11.600 --> 02:06:14.640 of was. I was definitely choking up at that one. Yeah, that 1856 02:06:15.000 --> 02:06:17.319 was. I don't have to talk that. One of the social links in 1857 02:06:17.359 --> 02:06:20.840 Persona three is like a kid, a teenager on your age, who was 1858 02:06:20.880 --> 02:06:25.399 dying, right, Yeah, that's like one of the first things he says 1859 02:06:25.439 --> 02:06:29.560 to you is I am dying and nothing will save me. And that's why 1860 02:06:30.439 --> 02:06:33.560 the whole social is actually just like very mature and well done. It's one 1861 02:06:33.560 --> 02:06:36.680 of the best series ever had. Yeah, it is still the best social 1862 02:06:36.720 --> 02:06:41.439 link I think probably. Yeah, it's also kind of the standard death metal 1863 02:06:41.479 --> 02:06:43.479 Dan. That's a good shout. I've heard a lot of people will be 1864 02:06:43.640 --> 02:06:46.199 very positive on like a Dragon the Man who erased his name. Yeah, 1865 02:06:46.359 --> 02:06:53.479 I've heard good things about that too. To all right, next email U 1866 02:06:54.279 --> 02:06:59.239 comes from Jeff from Quebec.

He has like a slap across the Nikki's is one percent 1889 02:08:41.239 --> 02:08:46.880 for sure. Uh So I started listening to their comedy podcasts. If you're 1890 02:08:46.920 --> 02:08:50.239 driving, close your eyes, close your eyes right, because that's funny. 1891 02:08:50.520 --> 02:08:56.079 Uh He's so damn funny, it's for sure, and like, oh hell 1892 02:08:56.159 --> 02:09:07.039 yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah, that's what's up. Him is just 1893 02:09:07.279 --> 02:09:15.359 catchphrases, stitch together to make a man possible. Him says his catch raise 1894 02:09:15.439 --> 02:09:20.520 more in real life than in the podcast. Next time Michael Him pops up 1895 02:09:20.600 --> 02:09:24.880 on any giant bomb content or you see him on virtually anything. I need 1896 02:09:24.920 --> 02:09:31.680 you at home to count how many times he says whimsical. He's been adding 1897 02:09:31.680 --> 02:09:39.119 whimsical to his day to day and it is quite whimsical. Okay, a 1898 02:09:39.119 --> 02:09:46.000 couple more emails before we get on out here. Uh, let's read this 1899 02:09:46.039 --> 02:09:50.600 one. And this one comes from Jorgan from the Arctic. Jorgan writes in 1900 02:09:52.560 --> 02:09:56.920 Jeff Backler was talking about Dylan or bring your kid to work day and then 1901 02:09:56.640 --> 02:10:01.000 him just bringing Dylan behind him. I guess, dear Jeff Backlar, as 1902 02:10:01.000 --> 02:10:05.520 a fellow dad, this is my suggestion for Dibb's day at work. First 1903 02:10:05.560 --> 02:10:07.680 of all, disclaimer that naturally, you, as a parent and div will 1904 02:10:07.680 --> 02:10:11.600 set boundaries for what you're comfortable doing in front of an internet audience. My 1905 02:10:11.680 --> 02:10:16.640 suggestion to you is to have DIB plan out and execute a show for Giant 1906 02:10:16.680 --> 02:10:20.000 Bomb. Oh. It can be as simple as Fortnite Duo's with Dad or 1907 02:10:20.079 --> 02:10:24.279 Fortnite Pacifist runs or whatever else DIB would like to do. Have Dib come 1908 02:10:24.359 --> 02:10:26.439 up with a concept, have him design a simple layout on the stream, 1909 02:10:26.880 --> 02:10:31.920 help him set up the scenes for whatever in your Obsdib can write a short 1910 02:10:31.920 --> 02:10:35.119 intro to perform at the top of the stream and sign off at the end. 1911 02:10:35.319 --> 02:10:39.680 Then have fun streaming with his dad. If performing scripted intros and such 1912 02:10:39.680 --> 02:10:41.800 as too much pressure, you can have Dib write them and you execute them 1913 02:10:41.840 --> 02:10:46.680 yourself. The point is to give a little bit of insight into this show 1914 02:10:48.199 --> 02:10:52.000 to show the job is not just fucking around on YouTube, and getting to 1915 02:10:52.039 --> 02:10:54.760 share your work experience as a bonding moment with your son is really awesome. 1916 02:10:56.039 --> 02:10:58.640 If you make him sit in on a budget meeting, however, you'll just 1917 02:10:58.760 --> 02:11:01.520 murder him his will to ever participate in adult life ever. Again, good 1918 02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:05.239 luck with whatever you come up with for Dib's day at work. Take care 1919 02:11:05.279 --> 02:11:07.479 and say hello to everyone for me. Okay, bye, Jorgan from the 1920 02:11:07.600 --> 02:11:11.720 Arctic. I like this. I approve I love free child labor, so 1921 02:11:11.800 --> 02:11:16.720 let's make it happen.

Yeah, yeah, 1972 02:15:11.600 --> 02:15:13.119 I think the idea is gonna be like Jan, you've seen this, 1973 02:15:13.159 --> 02:15:16.600 but you haven't played. Dan as like held back and doesn't know anything about 1974 02:15:16.600 --> 02:15:20.079 it, So we're gonna like, hey, let's introduce this game to these 1975 02:15:20.079 --> 02:15:24.760 guys. We're also gonna throw Bailey into the fold, so expect Sean. 1976 02:15:24.840 --> 02:15:30.399 Let's get that mood going, Yeah, we can finally put that server of 1977 02:15:30.439 --> 02:15:31.960 yours to good use, Jeff, if you still got it, okay, 1978 02:15:33.000 --> 02:15:35.000 Yeah, I'll see if it work. Yeah, we might have to do 1979 02:15:35.039 --> 02:15:39.960 that, no problem, okay, cool. And also we decide, you 1980 02:15:39.960 --> 02:15:43.640 know, where are there are some rumblings happening, some royal rumblings happen behind 1981 02:15:43.640 --> 02:15:48.520 the scenes here y'all. And then we're thinking we talk about wrestling too much 1982 02:15:48.560 --> 02:15:50.920 on this website. Yeah, we got Yes, we're gonna lock it down. 1983 02:15:52.279 --> 02:15:58.319 What if we create a containment zone where we have an existing podcast called 1984 02:15:58.359 --> 02:16:01.399 the power BombCast that is very infrequently, maybe like two or three times a 1985 02:16:01.439 --> 02:16:05.199 year, showing up just as much as Roman Reigns would show up during the 1986 02:16:05.279 --> 02:16:11.079 latter half of his title reign. What if, you know, BCR sometimes 1987 02:16:11.119 --> 02:16:16.720 maybe it's a little light on game stuff and game discussions. What if they 1988 02:16:16.239 --> 02:16:20.640 form their own tag team on Fridays, take turns tagging each other in So 1989 02:16:20.800 --> 02:16:26.279 this week we are hot tagging the power BombCast. Later this week, look 1990 02:16:26.359 --> 02:16:30.760 forward to the power BombCast and all the original older episodes, including the ones 1991 02:16:30.760 --> 02:16:33.719 that were locked behind Premium, going out onto its old feed so you can 1992 02:16:33.840 --> 02:16:39.319 hear all the The first episode was in twenty thirteen and that blew my mind. 1993 02:16:39.399 --> 02:16:43.440 Oh that's messed up. And there's only been like thirty or so episodes, 1994 02:16:43.559 --> 02:16:50.360 So look forward to more wrestling, hopefully in a contained space. Folks, 1995 02:16:50.879 --> 02:16:54.760 sore safe. If you're tired of hearing shoot work k fabe, it'll 1996 02:16:54.760 --> 02:16:58.799 be too bad. We're gonna keep doing that. But like although the week 1997 02:16:58.799 --> 02:17:03.319 to week stuff, the sheets we will be keeping there, look forward to 1998 02:17:03.319 --> 02:17:11.000 WrestleMania videos popping off as this week goes by. The tailgating video is almost 1999 02:17:11.079 --> 02:17:15.280 ready for public consumption. I can't wait if you if you guys want a 2000 02:17:15.319 --> 02:17:18.079 preview, it's all in slack right now. I'll check it out. I'm 2001 02:17:18.120 --> 02:17:22.239 not in slack. I'll put in put in discord, right, I can 2002 02:17:22.280 --> 02:17:28.200 wait. Sorry I didn't let you go drive eight hours to a tailgating thing. 2003 02:17:28.239 --> 02:17:30.159 By the way, Yeah, I like you still resent me for it? 2004 02:17:30.280 --> 02:17:35.600 Yeah, you got it. You're right. That was awesome to hang 2005 02:17:35.639 --> 02:17:37.520 out. That was great. Two things. One earlier in this episode, 2006 02:17:37.600 --> 02:17:41.600 Chance said that it was okay when he's not here, it's not. I 2007 02:17:41.280 --> 02:17:45.200 did the episode last week with back of art and it was so long. 2008 02:17:45.920 --> 02:17:50.040 And then number two Mike can you do gim in with me tomorrow because I'm 2009 02:17:50.040 --> 02:17:52.120 gonna have to lead halfway through to get Addie off the bus. Yeah, 2010 02:17:52.120 --> 02:17:56.239 I couldn't do it tomorrow. I'll just stick around after this Nintendo thing. 2011 02:17:56.280 --> 02:17:58.920 Sure, thanks appreciate. What else did we learn today, guys? Also, 2012 02:17:58.200 --> 02:18:01.000 right when I started talking, music started playing in the background. I 2013 02:18:01.040 --> 02:18:05.840 think I'm still logged into the zoom meeting from earlier, so I got what 2014 02:18:05.079 --> 02:18:09.360 is that I heard? Also, did you guys heard that I thought I 2015 02:18:09.399 --> 02:18:13.200 was being played out or something like that? That's me because we learned that 2016 02:18:13.280 --> 02:18:18.600 all less taxes than expected means that you're practically earning money. Sean is a 2017 02:18:18.680 --> 02:18:22.680 purb for old consoles, Grub is going to join a rollerblading team of some 2018 02:18:22.719 --> 02:18:26.639 sorts, And it's ironic that a multiplayer game can make you feel lonely and 2019 02:18:26.760 --> 02:18:31.360 fall out seventy six. We also learned how clapping in different contexts can sound 2020 02:18:31.360 --> 02:18:37.840 a little naughty. I'd be really aggressive here a giant bomb. We also 2021 02:18:37.920 --> 02:18:43.280 learned that a glass of milk is always full over here, my milk, 2022 02:18:43.719 --> 02:18:48.000 Why milk? Jeff? And we also learned that maybe all of us on 2023 02:18:48.040 --> 02:18:54.680 the Internet should stop posting why you can't see it. It's still there, 2024 02:18:54.760 --> 02:19:00.719 chest folks. I've been Jam he's been Jeff, he's been Mike, he's 2025 02:19:00.760 --> 02:19:03.719 been Turboshan and you at home have been very pleasant. We appreciate you, 2026 02:19:03.879 --> 02:19:09.000 We love you. We'll see you next week for another episode of the Giant BombCast
