1
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,199
Hey, everybody, it's Friday.
How you doing. Yeah, that's right,

2
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:34,039
real bicking back and beating bull today

3
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:38,679
Revengeance. That's right, yeah,
John BombCast is now hitting you twice a

4
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:44,479
week on Tuesdays. Okay, no, yep, that's fine on Tuesdays and

5
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,280
Fridays. Now, Welcome to John
BombCast Revengeance. I am your host,

6
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:56,079
Jana Choa joining me co captain of
the ship Jeff Grubb hoighty ho I listen.

7
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,000
I'm afraid of the energy that we're
bringing into this show, but that's

8
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,280
why I wanted to do it.
I knew a late Friday podcast was gonna

9
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,079
be something different, and I'm just
gonna sit back and let it happen.

10
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:07,159
I'm not gonna try to stop it. We got mister late Friday himself,

11
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,640
Jeff Bakalar. Hey, I'm Misster
Friday. How's it going? Everybody glad

12
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,480
to be here. I'm not gonna
lie BombCast on a Friday's freaking me out,

13
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:23,079
but I'm loving it. Speaking about
I'm loving it. Connoisseur of all

14
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,719
things nuggets, whether they're chicken nuggets, gold nuggets, nuggets of wisdom,

15
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:38,719
Lucy James. Okay, I mean
I would actually love some chicken nuggets.

16
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:42,359
So yeah, how's it going.
It's going great, it's going great,

17
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:47,000
it's growing great. He will not
be silenced except for this episode where we

18
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,719
can't figure out the soundboard privileges some
more. Who's saying, I did everything

19
00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:02,200
right and that would be very good
poker. Yes, that's terrifying. Actually,

20
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:07,199
oh my god, oh fantastic.
Well you're good at fighting games,

21
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,280
right, Like I know you were
doing the thing with Justin, but like

22
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,560
when you were playing your friends,
you usually got better than them. I

23
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:20,000
would imagine say that again. You're
like bro Cup for like a second,

24
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:21,800
and I was like, I don't
know what you're saying. Are you good

25
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800
at fighting games? Yes? Yeah, that's what I was assuming, because

26
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,159
I think like a big thing with
fighting games is like that poker mentality of

27
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,080
being able to like faint and do
something different. I think you'd be very

28
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,280
good at that. Oh yeah,
but the thing is with fighting games doesn't

29
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,360
quite you're not looking at their face, you look at the screen, but

30
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,120
the whole vibe, your whole aura. I think you can put off something.

31
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,039
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was good at

32
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,000
poker. As well for a while, we should we should have a poker

33
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,840
night. We should do poker night. Yeah, I'll be down for that.

34
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:54,560
But no actual stakes though, because
bang is wrong. Oh for real?

35
00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,280
What about if we did for chips
that represent the currency? Does that

36
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,080
work around? If I if I
have to give you money at any point,

37
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,639
you don't, but you have to
buy these other things? What if

38
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,000
I said you and you just have
to sign up five other people and that's

39
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:17,039
kind of the money We got left
money on a table somewhere and then I

40
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,800
took it later on? Can what
what about? We? Uh? We

41
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,039
we started a new website, call
it tamu, and then that's how we

42
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,439
wind up making a pseudo pyramid scheme, just sending this. I don't trust

43
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,120
Sam, I don't trust tam oh. I guess gamblings haram. But like,

44
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,000
casting spells on your friends is totally
cool. I'm allowed to cuss people

45
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,960
every night. I'm sorry, sorry, Like all right, but before we

46
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,319
get into what everyone stopped stop making
fun of my culture and religion. Oh

47
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,039
no, oh, I wish,
but you literally rose back? What did

48
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,840
you write? You said? Sorry, just a little voodoo for you.

49
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,400
I'm so glad backler exists to take
these bullets, so I don't have to.

50
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,800
That's what he said. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What happened?

51
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:20,439
Then? Yeah? Sure? So
I had a hockey game last night and

52
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:29,920
Tam, what's that? Yeah?
It turns out and Cam just wrote me

53
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:31,000
in the locker Wills in the locker
and he goes, what's up, nerd?

54
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:33,399
I was like, Hey, what's
up, Tammy baby? How's it

55
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,439
going? I'm about to get it
on the ice? Is everything cool?

56
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,639
He said? I just want you
to know that you're a nerd and I

57
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,600
love you. Enjoy the ice.
I said, that's it. That can't

58
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,959
be it. He said, I
just want you to know I'm thinking about

59
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:48,120
you. I said, well,
that's not ominous at all. I think

60
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,439
about you a lot too, Sam. Can I read like the last text

61
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,800
message you sent to Wait, let's
let him finish ye After this, I

62
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,279
go, I think I think about
you all the time. It's mostly good

63
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,160
stuff. He goes, just doing
some voodoo, you know, have a

64
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:10,759
nice game. Okay. Three hours
later, Well you did it, Tam.

65
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:14,120
You put voodoo on my game and
then I got into an argument with

66
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,839
a teammate in my locker room after
the game. Thanks a lot. You

67
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:24,240
got into an argument about Mission Complete. We're not going to get into what

68
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,680
we were arguing about, but because
it's not I kept saying that Trump did

69
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:38,199
nothing wrong and got the yad you
want the wall now, don't you?

70
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,680
Yeah? So fuck it was and
then you know, so I said look,

71
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,279
and then I told my friend.
I said, look, this is

72
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:47,160
not our fault. This is my
friend TAM's fault, for he has cursed

73
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:54,519
this locker room. So that's true
story. Actually, thanks Tam. One

74
00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:58,160
of the last texts that Tam has
sent me before we talked about some work

75
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,399
jazz as he not is number one
Naruto Baddie? Am I wrong? You're

76
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:08,839
not wrong? It just came out
of nowhere. And then Emmy saw it

77
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:12,800
and she was like, is this
what you guys talk about? It was

78
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,959
like no, no, no,
no, no, we don't. We

79
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,120
don't anyway, No we do though, Ay, so welcome everyone BombCast for

80
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,079
vengeance. Why are we doing the
show? Well, you know, I

81
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,199
just want an excuse to chat with
my friends more. That's really the main

82
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,879
purpose. Sweet, these calm,
these these chuckle fudge is. I was

83
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,800
sitting in a virtual room with me
for at least another hour but sometimes we

84
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:44,000
can't talk about all the games on
Tuesday because embargos are weird now. Sometimes

85
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000
games come out later in the week
that we may even miss on the regular

86
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,560
Bomb Cast. So we thought we'd
have this to talk about more games,

87
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:57,439
maybe dive deeper into more games,
perhaps a spoiler cast if several folks have

88
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,199
completed the game that we're all very
impassioned about. But there will also most

89
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,439
of the time not be any news
because grub will still be covering it on

90
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,560
Game as Mornings on Dregs Day.
Also no emails, probably no shoutouts either,

91
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:18,040
but we will have a hot topic
of the week. We have cabbled

92
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:24,800
together another fucking podcast. That's right, that's right with my friends. It's

93
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,680
great. Yeah, it's all about
friendship. You decided it as like a

94
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,439
magazine, and I don't know why
that made sense to me, And I

95
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,240
was just like, yeah, that's
a grabular pop off. You were the

96
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,920
one that put it like that.
Oh yeah, I saw that from Greg

97
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Miller, so and we don't give
him credit. Buck that guy. So

98
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,639
now I turned around on that.
Yeah, it's uh yeah, basically you

99
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,399
and we're gonna have the BombCast still
every week and that's gonna be what it

100
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,399
has been. But we don't take
a time to be like, oh,

101
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,720
let's like take maybe a higher level
view of what's happening in gaming. We

102
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,000
can get into those topics sometimes when
we're having conversations, but there's not a

103
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240
space for that, So we just
dedicatable space aside, so we can have

104
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:07,040
fun conversations here and there, Like
I imagine this podcast is where uh spoiler

105
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,240
casts can live. It is maybe
where if we want to just argue about

106
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,040
the best game of a generation for
like an hour one day, we could

107
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,759
do that here, that sort of
thing down the line, game of the

108
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:28,639
year deliberations, warm ups really exactly. We're gonna get a little practice and

109
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,879
that hill. Yeah, yeah,
I'm already anxious about a Game of the

110
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:39,759
year. Man, what what's what's
so many there's so many good games game

111
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,279
of the year. We can't do
that, do that? Oh okay,

112
00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:46,799
I guess no, you can't give
every game game of the year. It's

113
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:48,279
just not how it works. Okay, all right, all right, you

114
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,679
know, shoot, shoot your shot
right now, all of us here what

115
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:58,240
is definitely not winning Giant bombs Game
of the year Starfield Just okays of the

116
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:03,759
Kingdom knew you were gonna say it. I'm so curious because I think it's

117
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,399
like there's a strong chance it won't
because there's so many things, like because

118
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,960
a different directions and now came out. Yeah, so I mean that moment

119
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:18,159
where we're boats in, I can't
wait to see. There's a lot of

120
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,600
ship being talked right now, and
honestly, it's fun. I don't think

121
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:26,399
the Kingdom chance he's gonna be hit
so much sweeter when it does win.

122
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:31,240
Yeah. I think if I could
just put on my prediction hat, I

123
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,000
feel like Dan's gonna you're wearing the
same hat. You're wearing the same hat

124
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,399
back didn't put it on. Oh
it was a slide of hand. You

125
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,000
guys all missed it. Yeah,
I'm fast. I think Dan's gonna die

126
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,360
on that hill, and then I
think there's gonna be I don't think he

127
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,000
will. What do you think he's
gonna go after? I mean, I

128
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
think we do it. He's gonna
put his he's gonna put his horses on.

129
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:03,600
Wonder and Alan wake more are maybe
talking about even Armored Core six more

130
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:09,240
than Tiers of the Kingdom. I
think I don't, dude, I'm gonna

131
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,600
call I'm gonna care rules, rules. It's tough to have this conversation now

132
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,759
though, you know, it's like, are they coming through the stream?

133
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:26,799
I hope, yeah, they are
there. What game is definitely not getting

134
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Game of the Year at Giant Bomb. Let me see if you see the

135
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,080
thing that would upset her as much
as when she said Zelda, but Balder's

136
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:41,120
gay three? No chance? Am
I right? Well, man, I

137
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:48,320
gotta before remake. That's the real
one that doesn't actually have a chance that

138
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,279
Mike keeps saying it could make it
this year, Honey, For me,

139
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,039
it's easily in the top Like,
can I say something that probably won't get

140
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,159
into the top ten and here's the
hot But what's up? So hi fi

141
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,120
rush? Oh that's like a recency
bias thing, I think, But no,

142
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,559
I don't know. I'm exactly where
janis. It's not recency bias.

143
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,960
I love that game. It's probably
not gonna make my personal top five,

144
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,639
and I will be happy if it
mix my top ten, but I don't

145
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:22,679
think it will. That's weird,
that's fair. You're right, there have

146
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,120
been so many games. I've practiced
my monologue five times this year. Oh

147
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,559
No, which which a nude team
games that came out this year. I

148
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720
don't know. Well, there's a
different game that starts with a nude person

149
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,600
that's okay, fair enough. I
don't think that. Oh I know that

150
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,679
one. That's a good one.
Uh well, let's talk about some video

151
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:43,600
games. I have a list here, but you know what, I haven't

152
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:48,039
spoke to Tam and Lucy about any
video games recently. What have you all

153
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,639
been playing? You gotta pick?
You want to pick one? Oh,

154
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,600
me, me, I've been playing. You can probably guess exactly what I've

155
00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,240
been playing. I'm playing Out of
Wake two. Oh. Perfect, Well,

156
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:03,039
that's the game I have here.
Wonderful we've all been playing. I

157
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:07,320
don't Wake to various degrees and that
is a good ass game. I've not

158
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:11,200
finished it yet. I got like
pretty far in for like review stuff,

159
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,240
and then end up traveling and doing
some other business as well. And yeah,

160
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,600
I'm still I'm still making my way
for it, but I'm taking my

161
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,320
time, which is something I'm trying
to force myself to do a bit more

162
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:30,360
nowadays. Yeah, I've heard people
say the game's a masterpiece and they they

163
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,440
love it. And I'm story where
I'm where where people saw in the stream

164
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,120
the other day, and if you
haven't seen the stream, I got to

165
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,679
basically the the Allen Wake experience beginning
for real, like I think I was

166
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:43,679
going to start playing as him.
I'm not saying that I don't enjoy this

167
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,320
game. I've enjoyed what I played
so far. I just haven't seen the

168
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,919
things that have made people say what
makes it a masterpiece? And I'm wondering

169
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:56,639
if it's seeing the guys can communicate
in any way that like can encourage me

170
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,399
to keep going. I think I'm
on board with this game now, but

171
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,879
anything you could say to be like, here's what you should be looking forward

172
00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:05,679
to. Obviously without spoiling we're trying
to avoid that. But you know,

173
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,279
I don't know, tell me what
really is getting you guys at your motor

174
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:13,879
boat's going for this? I think
you got to a point yesterday he was

175
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,559
making you motor boat out in Wake. Yeah, what's making you motor boat

176
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:24,200
the way? Who you mooting?
And Ellen wakeame? No? I think,

177
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:26,919
Uh, I don't know if there's
like a moment. I think there's

178
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:28,679
a lot of moments, but I
don't think there's like the one thing that

179
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:33,919
kind of like opened my eyes wider
than they were before. I think it's

180
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,720
a collection of a lot of different
things. And I also think you I

181
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:39,879
don't know. I feel like at
the end of the stream yesterday, Grubb,

182
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,039
you were at a point where you're
like, Okay, I think you

183
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,879
seem to have a different Yeah,
you're hooked. Yes, I just I'm

184
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:50,000
still not like I still don't understand
what what people mean when they I'm curious

185
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,720
what Jen has to say about this. Uh. Michael Mahardy wrote an article

186
00:13:54,759 --> 00:14:01,960
for a Pulligan recently about uh,
the like the perfect fifteen minute sequence.

187
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,120
I believe that was Mike, right, that was you wrote that, Mike.

188
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:09,720
Uh. Sequence is called We Sing, We Sing. That's chapter four

189
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,679
of Alan Wakes. I think it's
is that right where I'm about to start.

190
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:15,759
No, No, you are,
You're a bit of ways from that.

191
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:20,159
Okay, Okay, you'll know when
you get that, you will know.

192
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:24,200
And let me tell you it is
one of the things I don't think

193
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,080
I've ever experienced in a video game, let alone thought had ever thought to

194
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,879
try and experience in a video game. And I think that's why a lot

195
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:35,720
of people are equating Alan Wake two
to a masterpiece, because it is offering

196
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:43,320
such a fresh experience for a lot
of players because you know, think not

197
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,440
to poop poo on Resident Evil for
remake, you know, but please go

198
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,600
ahead. But it's the same,
wet, goopy, gory game, not

199
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,279
the same, you know, a
lot of improvements, an obscene amount of

200
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:58,080
improvements over the original Resident Evil four, but like all the bells and whistles,

201
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,480
all the tricks that they're pulling,
all the smoke and they're all working

202
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,200
on overtime in Alan Wake two,
and then after that chapter, it's just

203
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,399
like, all right, buckle the
fuck up, let's keep going. Uh.

204
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:11,879
It's a I don't want to say
a once in a lifetime, but

205
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:16,759
it's like a once in a every
five years type of experience where there's so

206
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,720
many very ambitious games that come out
Indie Triple A, Double A B game,

207
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,759
whatever else have you that may not
hit the mark completely for everyone.

208
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:30,799
But I feel like if people just
sit down and set aside some time to

209
00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:35,399
play through this, a lot of
people will be wowed and walk away thinking

210
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,639
like, holy shit, this is
amazing because there are people so many dumb

211
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,639
ass people out there that think,
like, man, games haven't been good

212
00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:48,080
and how long now blah blah blah
games are all the same. Well that's

213
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,799
not the fucking truth at all.
Fucking go outside, buy Alan Wake two,

214
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:58,320
go back inside and continue playing.
Uh I you do you think someone

215
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:04,039
could get the enjoyment from this game
from watching a YouTube playthrough? That's what

216
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:07,399
I've heard, Like, oh,
it, it needs to be a video

217
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,320
game. And again people saying this
is not a video game. No no

218
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,720
no no no no no no.
People are saying it needs to be a

219
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:15,120
video game to do what it does. And again I've not gotten to the

220
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:18,840
spits yet. Oh and so,
so my experience has been I walk through

221
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,799
the woods, I'm I come to
a cabin. I need to go get

222
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:23,720
a fuse, put it in this
thing. Now the light's on. I

223
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:27,200
go inside a house, like that's
the game I'm playing, And I still

224
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,279
see, Yes, I see that
there are vague mysteries along the periphery that

225
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,240
I need to explore more deeply.
But but what I've done so far has

226
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,399
been like, maay, I'm playing
a video game that's pretty familiar in a

227
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:41,879
lot of ways, and so I'm
just like waiting for it to open up.

228
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:44,720
I think I do get the idea
it's going to open up soon,

229
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:49,480
but I'm just like still looking for
what that is. This is a lot.

230
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:52,759
I just feel like, Hey,
I don't think i've hit this point

231
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,679
that Mike and you are talking about
jan So I'm very excited about this,

232
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:06,000
I don't. I think this is
so amazing because it does uniquely work as

233
00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:08,039
a video game, and I think
we were all lamenting the idea of like

234
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:14,079
probably gonna be an HBO show at
some point. I think there's a lot

235
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,279
of just I don't know. I
think the game element of this allows it

236
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,079
to be so many different things,
right, which is really fun. It

237
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,559
allows it to be a movie,
It allows it to be a game,

238
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,240
It allows it to be so many
other wear so many other hats, and

239
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:32,400
believe me, I know a thing
or two about fucking hats. Yeah,

240
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,759
he just changed to another hat right
now. I think I think there's an

241
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:44,319
element of it feeling familiar because it's
stuff that Remedy has been doing to various

242
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,359
degrees in other games that to different
levels of success. I feel like everything

243
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,400
nothing in Hair feels new to Remedy, although it does feel uniquely Remedy,

244
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,480
like no one else is doing live
action in their games as far as I

245
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:03,039
can tell because Remedy has been doing
it for a while now, especially since

246
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,759
Quantum Break. Definitely during a lot
more Control and Alan Wake two, it

247
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:10,759
doesn't feel fresh. The thing about
it that's different here is like, this

248
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:15,279
is the game where they figured out
the perfect ratio, the way to make

249
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,319
it meaningful, the way to make
it interesting, and not like represent it

250
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,640
as the same old gimmick from previous
years. It feels like in the previous

251
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,039
years it could have been argued as
a this is a gimmick, This is

252
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:32,839
a gimmick that they're just adding to
a very plain game otherwise, but that

253
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,200
in hindsight, within the context of
Alan Wake. Now it's them clearly experimenting

254
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,319
and figuring out how they can push
the envelope for how they present games and

255
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,200
how the medium itself is delivered to
us. And this feels like the first

256
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,799
time where they figured out, we've
we understand how to blur the line between

257
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,680
video game, movie, book,
album, like all that kind of stuff

258
00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:03,160
is everything is This is the everything
game in a way that doesn't feel like

259
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,240
a shitty like you know, marketing
scheme. This is the game where they

260
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:10,440
were like, we know how we
can make live action work within this game,

261
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,640
and they don't over commit like they
did in Quantum Break and make it

262
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,240
twenty minute long, you know,
sequences, they have like all this stuff

263
00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:21,839
in perfect balance. I feel like, and that's what makes this game special.

264
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:26,559
Yeah, I know a lot of
folks really were gushing, and I

265
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,200
enjoyed Immortality a lot. That came
out last year, twenty twenty two,

266
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:37,599
right, and you know, a
complaint with that game was you stopped feeling

267
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,359
like a game after a while,
right, you was just point click adventure

268
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,200
type of thing in piecing together the
mystery, and then felt a little bit

269
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,359
cumbersome afterwards. But like here,
like what Tam said, like this is

270
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,119
the perfect combination of game live action, watching it, exploring it, and

271
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,519
feeling it. And then I think
the story bits kind of I don't want

272
00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:00,440
to speak for everyone here, but
like I'm a bad YouTuber, you know,

273
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:06,160
creative, and there's like a weird
darkness that comes to that or pressures

274
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,799
that come to that, and I
feel like this game really explores those themes

275
00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:15,720
incredibly well. Of feeling overworked,
feeling like you've hit a block, and

276
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:21,279
like you haven't really changed over the
last couple of years, but really embracing

277
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:27,000
the ability to adapt and to make
something new. Yeah, I haven't gotten

278
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:30,559
to any of the Allen Wake stuff, and I think that's where the themes

279
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,400
are really gonna be clashing against what's
happening with Sagas. So I'm looking forward

280
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,079
to that. And I mean to
speak to what Tam was saying. I

281
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,799
think that they aren't gimmicks. They're
tools, and they're being wielded by a

282
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,599
team that is feeling very confident about
how to use these tools to convey meaning

283
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,880
and ideas and story and gameplay to
the player. And I think the Mind

284
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,160
Place is is a very good example
of that. It's right in your face,

285
00:20:53,759 --> 00:20:57,599
but they give me these multiple new
ways to not just interact with the

286
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,559
story, but reinteract with the story. They're they're presenting these things in the

287
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,279
world as you explore them, and
now let's go, let's retreat to the

288
00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:07,599
mind Place and let's reinforce all these
things. So you know what matters?

289
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,880
You know, Nintendo does that by
like in a Zelda game, they highlight

290
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,960
the word like that matters in the
whole sentence and it's like that one's red,

291
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,160
So pay attention to that. I'm
like, Okay, that's that's nice

292
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,720
that you're doing that, but that
doesn't really it's not really effective. This

293
00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:22,720
feels much more effective, but it's
like, let's make it cool to actually

294
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:26,240
learn what we're trying to tell you
what this game is about. And the

295
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:29,920
game is very good at that.
So that's the stuff that keeps pulling me

296
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,039
through where I'm like, I am
curious about these mysteries, and you're giving

297
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:37,079
me the tools that I need to
to engage with them and remember them and

298
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:41,359
and actually feel like I have a
good grasp on what's happening. Uh,

299
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,599
how do you How do you guys
feel about folks that are a little too

300
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,480
spook to play through it? Do
you think watching like roll Hey, I'm

301
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,880
glad Tam said it not made Jesus
Christ play with the lights on? What

302
00:21:52,880 --> 00:22:00,319
can I tell you? Uh?
I feel like I'm descends into is to

303
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,319
yeah, I don't know it.
I was going to say, I'm yeah,

304
00:22:04,519 --> 00:22:11,000
I was playing it in the dark
and lights off. There's a lot

305
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:15,559
of jump scar stuff and when you
die the game over screen is pretty inting.

306
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:22,519
It is for sure. It's you
know, I res remake and I'm

307
00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:26,680
just such a crooked abuse thing I
find it reson before remake is I feel

308
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:32,319
kind of the opening like with Resident
Evil, that's when it's the Bible horror,

309
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,279
and then it just goes on to
the dumb all out action. Yeah,

310
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:38,599
there's a level of camp there too
that I think kind of somehow skirts

311
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:45,920
around. Yeah, it has like
the small town humor stuff, but it

312
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,400
holds onto this to the weird scary
stuff all the way through, I think.

313
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,039
But then again, I was watching
I'm very desensitized to that stuff.

314
00:22:53,079 --> 00:23:00,599
So yeah, I think I've become
more sensitized recently in my life where I

315
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:04,240
know, since I had kids,
I'm always on of like thinking about potential

316
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,599
threats to them, ways they can
hurt themselves, and i'd like live in

317
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,920
that zone twenty four to seven.
And I think that makes me very like

318
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:18,279
I'm an exposed nerve of just like
if there's a little bit off, I'm

319
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,200
going to be feeling it. It's
all right under the surface. So I

320
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:25,440
found that spooky games, spooky movies
have been making me more stressed out in

321
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,240
the last couple of years. And
I want to play these games. I

322
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:33,039
want to enjoy them with everyone else. And I'll say that it's if you're

323
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,599
too smook it. Really it's exposure
therapies kind of all that works. You

324
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,720
have to just run right out the
scary thing the first. If you are

325
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:41,480
scared in a scenario of the music's
starting to play up, if you know

326
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:45,440
a bad guy's going to be around
around the corner, really the best thing

327
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,319
to do is run right at them, Go get spared, Go let it

328
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,720
just happen. And then now you
know what the threat is. And that

329
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:56,680
has immediately desensitized me in a lot
of these situations or helped lessen that feeling.

330
00:23:56,839 --> 00:24:00,519
So I do I do that.
I do wonder if it's people looking

331
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:03,079
at anan Wick and going, oh, this is a survival horror game,

332
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:07,119
it doesn't and thus it means it's
spooky. I will not play this instead

333
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,200
of actually playing it, because I
think I was going to say, like

334
00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:18,920
it it's not scary, it's unsettling, and it's like quite atmospheric. I

335
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,319
don't I wouldn't describe it as like
being things that you would be like,

336
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,920
oh my god, I can't look
at the screen anymore, and I feel

337
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,839
like a few months of that where
you're like peaking. I was going to

338
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,319
say, is you have some degree
of control in that moment, Like you

339
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,279
it's not like, yeah, you
have some quantum break in the game as

340
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:42,319
well. Yeah, I feel like
if you if you like I was just

341
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,400
about to say, I was just
about I was just about to say,

342
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,160
like, if you can, if
you're careful, you can control the max

343
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,160
pain that you've seen. But but
like, yeah, in a moment,

344
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,599
it's never there's never quite a jump
scare outside of the when you die and

345
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:03,400
it does the weird like that kind
of shit. But like I've if you're

346
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:06,599
it feels like it's pace in a
way where if you can usually sense when

347
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,039
something's about to happen and you can
have that moment where you take a minute

348
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,559
breathe kind of work your way up
to it and then go for it.

349
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,039
I think like if you're just if
you're like, oh, this is scary.

350
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,240
This is a scary game. That's
not for me. I mean,

351
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:22,440
like, if you just don't like
those games, then whatever, do it.

352
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,079
But if you're like, I really
want to play this game, but

353
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,559
I think it's too scary, maybe
give it a try, because it's not

354
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:32,279
as terrifying as you might imagine.
This one to play on Discord with friends,

355
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,039
I had Sean for the podcast the
other night, and I just shared

356
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:40,519
my stream with them and they were
just kind of talking me through it,

357
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:44,000
and I was totally fine in that
scenario. I like that idea playing it

358
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
with friends, especially now over discord
that I think that's a beautiful idea.

359
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,640
I think, look, if you
make it past that first fifteen minutes,

360
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,960
like, I think you could probably
hang Yes, yeah, I think that's

361
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,319
right. Yeah. Yeah. Now, what I was going to say is,

362
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,680
folks that may feel the pressure of
a survival horror game, just bump

363
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,680
it down to story. It's complete. Yeah, you get plenty of resources.

364
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:11,720
It can still be challenging. It
doesn't affect the puzzles or anything.

365
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:17,039
Doesn't really affect your enjoyment of the
story. Game knows. I suck anyway,

366
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,119
During that first boss, it's like, don't worry, I'm gonna spoon

367
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,200
feed you this guy on a silver
platter. Don't worry. Uh, tam,

368
00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:26,519
How far are you are? You
almost near the end? You think?

369
00:26:26,599 --> 00:26:30,000
I think I'm doing the thing where
I like, I'll do a little

370
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,519
bit of one path and then a
little bit of the other, and I'm

371
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:36,480
going back and forth, and I
think I'm like most of the way through

372
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,920
Alan's stuff. Okay, and I've
done a bunch of Saga stuff. I'm

373
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,880
at a bit now with Saga stuff
that I've done before, so I'm kind

374
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,640
of not avoiding it, but I'm
like, I want to see all the

375
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,240
new stuff first. Wait, hang
on, you're at this stuff with Saga

376
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,319
stuff that we played in LA.
Yeah, the very early stuff. Oh

377
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,480
you've got lots of go Yeah,
yeah, I know. But I'm like

378
00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:57,279
I'm doing I've done almost all of
Alan's stuff. I think most of the

379
00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:02,559
way through. I think Saga stuff. Is it long? Yeah, it

380
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:07,319
can't get super long because of the
exploring to the side. Yeah. Yeah,

381
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,279
I loves this game, Like I
guys, I just I haven't felt

382
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:12,880
like this in so long. I
just want everyone to know that. Well,

383
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,000
okay, Like I actually wanted to
talk about that. It's a big

384
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:23,000
deal for you. Were like,
yeah, this is my bucket list year

385
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:27,599
baby. Like you say that,
Like, I don't. When I asked

386
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,880
you before, you said it was
all of the things it's doing work together

387
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,319
in conjunction. That's the explanation,
right, That's that's my explanation. But

388
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,440
you know, I think I got
into it very specifically on BombCast the other

389
00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:47,880
BombCast on Tuesday, where yeah,
right, the nonvengeans it's actually called non

390
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,119
prevengece now, uh, where you
know a lot of the points to made

391
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,240
were like, I do think there's
a special uniqueness to this game's narrative,

392
00:27:56,319 --> 00:28:00,920
Chops, that it feels so refined
and so well tuned that I am enjoying

393
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,519
it from every angle that you can
possibly do it where you are playing,

394
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:11,359
you are watching, you are experiencing, exploring, and it's just my shit,

395
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:17,359
man, Like I love scary,
spooky stuff and if you can do

396
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:22,400
it in a way that has me
so excited that it shares cannon across games

397
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,440
and is just like and again,
I compared it a little bit to Resonie

398
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,799
before and Jane you touched on this
as well, where like we saw very

399
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,559
much what Survival Horror looked like thirdy
however long ago I twenty years ago,

400
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,079
right, and now where you're like, holy fuck, this is what we're

401
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:41,119
doing in twenty twenty three and it
looks like this and it feels like this,

402
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:47,240
and that is so like overwhelmingly positive
to me that I almost get teary

403
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:52,000
eyed over like how much I love
being in that sort of space. It's

404
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,240
it's it's like that. This is
why I'm curious, because I'm bouncing between

405
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:59,160
those two games right now because I
got an idiot friend who go, Madi

406
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,319
me if I don't play Receivle.
So I'm playing Flat as well and UH

407
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:03,240
and it's like i'm playing that,
I'm like, oh, Dan, this

408
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:07,359
is shooting. Oh that feels good. That's a good feeling video game that's

409
00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:12,400
got the juice over there and resonable
for uh. And and then I come

410
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,480
back to town and Wake and I'm
like, it's got juice in everything else.

411
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:18,000
It's just it's not trying to be
an action game in any way.

412
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,559
Resivul four was trying to straddle that
line a little bit. So I'm like,

413
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,680
I'm hoping I get to the to
where you're at. And there's nothing

414
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,440
that's like saying that that won't happen. But I'm like, I'm just really

415
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,559
hoping that. I want that for
me. I really want that for me.

416
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:33,960
You'll get there. I think you'll
get there. I think, like,

417
00:29:34,519 --> 00:29:37,640
you know, I don't know.
I also think like there is a

418
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,440
certain level of like isolation and attention. I have to give a game like

419
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,680
this too. I have to like
enter the zone. I have to get

420
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,880
into the into like the you know
this, get the juice zone right where

421
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,519
like you create the environment maybe a
lot, a couple of candles, you

422
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:59,559
know, and I just I just
like ease myself into that hot tub and

423
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:02,000
then I'm in to Alan. What
if I what if I played in front

424
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:06,759
of my wife the way I'm doing? Well? Yeah, And because I

425
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:07,680
bet if she was like right there, like getting into it, I'd be

426
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,480
like showing it off would be like
really fun. I might try that because

427
00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:14,680
sharing the story with other people has
been fun so far. That's been a

428
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:18,279
very special part of this for me, Like seeing like watching her like laid

429
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,279
like watching it laying down and then
like go up like this and just being

430
00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:29,279
like what the fuck is really cool
and I take ownership of it. I'm

431
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:30,680
like, see, I did this
game. I did this game. I'm

432
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,680
showing like I'm showing it to you, but I well, I neve this

433
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:41,160
to you. I serve this to
you. You're welcome. Uh, Folks,

434
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,720
anyone playing anything else besides Alan Awake
two or anything specifically you want to

435
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:49,759
talk about, I do wonder Uh
damn, I know you've been playing Super

436
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:52,680
Mario Brothers. Wonder, Lucy,
did you give it a try? I

437
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:55,000
know you enjoyed it at packs,
but I also know Mario is not really

438
00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:59,119
your thing. Have you had time
for it? You said Mary is not

439
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,519
her thing the UK where there wasn't
Nino didn't exist. I didn't know that.

440
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,839
I didn't know that it wasn't your
thing. That's okay. I just

441
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,799
had never heard you said that.
I never heard you say that. Okay,

442
00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:17,279
the way back at you about it. We're learning a lot about each

443
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:19,880
other. John, you brought us
together. You didn't tell us it was

444
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:27,680
a fucking therapy session of offline.
So no, I haven't played it yet.

445
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,839
I did record FPS last night and
the boys were like, you should

446
00:31:32,839 --> 00:31:36,440
play it, and Gerard was really
also saying how much he enjoyed the demo

447
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:41,200
for Super Mario, like RPG and
everything. So I really I want to.

448
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,599
I want to get into it.
I think I'm gonna do like Christmas

449
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,720
Christmas time because right now I'm going
to be going back to the UK for

450
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:51,680
a little bit. I want to
do. Is the World of Horror?

451
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:59,160
Yeah, yeah, kind of inspired
weird asking, I don't know, it's

452
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,559
like a text yeah kind of thing. Yeah, So I've got that queued

453
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:06,880
up, and then after that,
I'm gonna go into like a Dragon Guiden

454
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:13,039
and then yeah, man, I'm
so excited, and yeah, we're gonna

455
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,039
have like Christmas breakup. But I
mean, yeah, I feel like seems

456
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:20,160
like a good holiday game for sure. Well, those are the things I'm

457
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,279
going I'm going to get my niece's
a switch for Christmas, and I'll get

458
00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:37,680
the one with Mario and love how
you say that name Mario? Yeah,

459
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,200
And so I said to it was
like, what if I gave them the

460
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:50,200
Christmas present early and set it up
and you know, we get to play?

461
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:52,680
And you were gunning for cool Aunt, don't you. Well, if

462
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,160
I don't live on the same continent, I've got to be the cool Aunt

463
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,240
the only way I know how,
and that's money games, baby games.

464
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,240
Well apparent Yeah, Apparently they're very
into Sonic because they've been watching The Car

465
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:15,680
Happens, and they're very into Mario
because they watched the movie. I've I've

466
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:21,279
also been playing The Cavern of Dreams, which is a new indie platformer that

467
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,200
is basically trying to be an N
sixty four game. You play it's like

468
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:31,359
a little Lizard guy. Yep.
Nice one. That's one, but it

469
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:39,039
was just that woo here this one, I don't know, Reggie, I

470
00:33:39,079 --> 00:33:44,559
don't know it was gonna call him
Roger. Yeah, it's a it's really

471
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:49,079
neat. But and I like these
throwback indie platformers, especially once they are

472
00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:51,759
trying to be like the three D
platforms from the N sixty four with like

473
00:33:51,759 --> 00:33:54,119
one of my favorite eras of platformers. Uh. And it's got this really

474
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,839
cool momentum system where you play us
this little lizard who can roll. And

475
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:01,720
if you start the role from standing, it's going to be kind of the

476
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:07,319
slow moving around kind of an awkward
thing. But if you like jump into

477
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,119
it and then you hit the ground
as you're about like you hit your attack

478
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:14,320
right before you hit the ground,
you then can roll into it really hard

479
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,880
and then you can carry that momentum
forward. And there was like this big

480
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,039
gap that I was trying to jump
across, and it's very early in the

481
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:22,480
game. It's like a tutorial sort
of skill check at gait and getting across

482
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:24,320
there. I just couldn't hit it, couldn't quite hit it. And then

483
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,639
once I really got in the flow
of jumping up hitting this attack right before

484
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:31,880
I hit the ground, rolling into
the role and really feeling that. It's

485
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,719
like, oh, this feels really
good. It's like a skill based three

486
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,079
D platformer in a really cool way. And I think it's a good looking

487
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:42,440
game. I just it's always so
tough with these, like are they going

488
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,480
to have the interesting level design to
carry it through an entire game? And

489
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,880
that's tough. But I don't think
it's some huge, massive thing. And

490
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,360
this is from a guy that's done
a bunch of these, so kind of

491
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,639
having a little snack of a three
D platform every once in a while,

492
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:59,679
it was pretty cool. Okay.
Yeah, Cavern of Dreams is what that's

493
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,960
called. Love a little snack,
Love a little snack. Video games get

494
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,519
me hungry, baby. Uh.
Before before we go to break here and

495
00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:13,559
get to the hot topic of the
week, I just want to go around

496
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:16,679
the room and see what everyone's strategy
is for tackling and preparing for game of

497
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,679
the year. Yeah. It's a
good, good, good topic in itself,

498
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,840
because I feel like I'm oh,
man, we shall have training montages.

499
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:31,320
Uh. I feel like I am
gonna have to try and lock myself

500
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:37,519
into streaming at night in my own
time to force myself to finish stuff what's

501
00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:39,719
the what's the what's the top tier? Top priority for you, Jane,

502
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:46,559
I feel like I gotta give Balder's
Gate three another college try. I'm playing

503
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:52,440
it on on the Roger ally and
it's it's running pretty good on there now,

504
00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:57,960
and I'm I'm I'm into it,
but I'm I keep bumping up against

505
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:00,239
just not really knowing what I'm doing
occasionally or being out of my depth.

506
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:06,000
And I ran it to this guy
Anders and he's level five and my characters

507
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,360
are all level two, and I'm
like, should I be where I'm at?

508
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,519
I get the feeling I shouldn't be. The game makes me feel bad

509
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:14,039
for running away from this fight,
but I'm gonna run away from this fight.

510
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,960
And then I went down the street
and there was like a bunch of

511
00:36:16,679 --> 00:36:20,239
wolf men and they were also way
too high levels. So I'm like,

512
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,599
Okay, I'm not supposed to go
this way either. I'm just getting crushed

513
00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:27,119
everywhere I go. So I'm like, I'm gonna have to sort of sneak

514
00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:29,920
out of this place, go do
some more level appropriate stuff, and then

515
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,199
come back. But every time I
do have a conversation with anyone, and

516
00:36:34,199 --> 00:36:36,960
every time I'm rolling the Dice.
I'm like, oh, there's so much

517
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,840
possibility here. It really is my
kind of games. So I'm into it.

518
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,840
And that's the game that's number one
for me as well, Jan That's

519
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,280
the one I want to play the
most. I think my problem is all

520
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,960
not the rest of the games that
I want to tackle and try and finish

521
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,400
this year. They're all fucking RPGs. Hey, oh wait, let's not

522
00:36:54,719 --> 00:37:00,400
talk about RPGs, Lucy, Lucy, I agree with you, dog,

523
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:06,360
but like they take too long.
I'm digging Star Ocean, Second Story r

524
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,199
whatever the heck we're calling it.
It's gorge. I think the game Freak

525
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:16,239
should steal this make other Pokemon remakes
look like this, because it's absolutely amazing.

526
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:22,920
But it's a long lead up Stars. I was just abant to bring

527
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:28,639
up Sea of Stars. That's when
I really want to play. Put it

528
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:34,920
on the back of ark Tam Lucy. Any any strats for tackling preparing.

529
00:37:35,679 --> 00:37:39,400
I'm just gonna panic, uh,
you know, as usual, panic and

530
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:45,239
try and play everything I possibly can. There's uh, there's like one or

531
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:51,280
two gigantic holes in my h gaming
year that I should probably address. Street

532
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,760
Fight Er six. You no,
I played that played that, Yeah,

533
00:37:54,079 --> 00:38:00,320
played like bits of it. It's
really boulders Gate. I didn't even touch

534
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,079
that ship. I don't even know
exactly what it is. I've just been

535
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:09,119
nodding and asking generic questions to assume
that I appear that I'm interested. You're

536
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:12,599
just helping it, like like we'll
pass you by. You can help it,

537
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,800
just wash it over. And I
just don't have to, like it

538
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:22,519
shouldn't be an issue, you know, it seems unimportant. But uh yeah,

539
00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:24,760
so I need to do that.
I also need to play. I

540
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:30,239
started Cocoon and I really dug what
I played, and I feel like,

541
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,559
yeah, oh and the other one, so okay, so if it's only

542
00:38:35,559 --> 00:38:38,400
four I'll get through that at some
point. I got nothing going on,

543
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:44,119
right, and then Cyberpunk. I
want to do more cyberpunk. Oh yeah,

544
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:49,760
you should finish that. That's great. Yeah, so I have two

545
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,840
long haul flights coming up. I'm
in the middle of buying like a big

546
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,920
do never have a recommendation for a
good remote battery that I can use.

547
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,400
I saw one that's anka Yeah,
well I haven't anchor, but this one

548
00:39:02,519 --> 00:39:07,239
it plugs in and uh so you
can use it as a wall plug,

549
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:13,440
but it charges it as it plugged
in. That's clever. I like the

550
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,280
sound of that a lot. I
might buy that one. But if anyone

551
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,360
has any other recommendations, I would
love to hear it. Its good ship.

552
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,679
I mean I've got one right here, but this this boy is old

553
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,559
heavy. Sure, yeah, just
get a newer boy, and like the

554
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:31,800
battery capacity will last you a little
longer, and make sure it has like

555
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:38,760
the bandwidth to like charge your ally
and switch or whatever. Maybe what you're

556
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:44,559
gonna it's I think maybe look for
about one hundred watt output. That's probably

557
00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:47,679
what you want. Yes, if
possible, let's but most us yes,

558
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,519
USB C power Delivery p D.
If it has USB CPD, then you're

559
00:39:52,559 --> 00:39:55,920
probably gonna be okay. But if
you can get up that eighty one hundred

560
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,960
watt range so that actually does charge
relatively quickly, then you'll be good.

561
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:06,199
Sweet Yeah, because I have I
obviously have like an in in seat,

562
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:10,599
you know, right, want to
train? Yeah? Yeah, totally.

563
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,119
Before we move on, is there, like the outside the obvious ones we

564
00:40:16,199 --> 00:40:19,679
mentioned, is there a game that
you hope other people play before we get

565
00:40:19,679 --> 00:40:24,840
the Game of the year Dredge?
That's a good okay, Should I go

566
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,400
back to that. Okay, cool, that's the one I'm gonna do.

567
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,880
And I think, yeah, Jane, I think in particular, you will

568
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:36,079
really enjoy think you Hammond of Texas
with sending that link, David Diver.

569
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:43,000
Yeah, also and Team I've been
playing a lot scenarios is great good.

570
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:45,360
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's it's fun. I feel like you

571
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:50,119
you'll figure out whether or not you
like that game in maybe like two hours.

572
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,679
Yeah, I'm really I'm really stoked
for Tallas Principal too. Yeah.

573
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:02,280
I don't know anything about this.
It it's just puzzle games many right,

574
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,599
it's a solve the album. Yeah, is that what we landed on calling

575
00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:12,320
those things? I can't remember,
but that's like the first persons. The

576
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,480
problem is is that it makes me
Rea sick. Yeah, I could see

577
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:25,960
that, So I adding to my
list Thirsty. If you tried playing try

578
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:34,599
playing Talents Principle on the Roger ally
it might help with the because you're like,

579
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:39,559
yeah, yeah, I playing it
in third person two will be will

580
00:41:39,559 --> 00:41:43,719
definitely help. I haven't played El
Paso elsewhere yet. I know a lot

581
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,239
of people really enjoyed that good Bye
Volcano High came out. I'm just looking

582
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,760
at my Steam. I'm like,
good bye Volcano High came out this year.

583
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,519
Yeah, I think I have that
my Steam too, and I never

584
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:57,840
do anything with it. See Skylines
too. That one's in rough shape,

585
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,880
so I think we're going to be
safe on that one until they do some

586
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:06,760
updates. Yeah, great shape.
Yeah. The one that I that's definitely

587
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,119
in my top three still that I
would like to get some love, but

588
00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:14,559
I know it's it's Unlikely's pickment four. I think it's true, Pie,

589
00:42:15,079 --> 00:42:19,679
It's truly very very good. It's
it's my first full pickment. I enjoy

590
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,280
it a lot. I might go
back into it. I should go back

591
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,400
into it. Did you play tiny
Kin from last year? I did not

592
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:29,960
like tiny Kin? Oh that's right. That's the thing I hate about you

593
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:37,760
Jam other than my other than my
crippling gambling addiction and coffee addiction and an

594
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:45,840
ass that just won't quit. Wow. Wow, This truly is a therapy

595
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:54,239
session. That two games. I
going off that tip that gre mentioned blasphemous

596
00:42:54,280 --> 00:43:04,039
two All right, huh, it's
it's a really good metroid Vania. It

597
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,280
makes me confront all of my catholic
guilt, which is fun. Oh ship,

598
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:17,280
Okay, Catholic metroven that boys.
Yes, oh ship ship, I

599
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:22,440
just typed something and it's gone.
Can you promise me to play that?

600
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:34,480
You will play Where's Where past It? Modern Warfare three on it? Yes,

601
00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:37,719
Yes, I'm gonna play Humanity.
Yes, I've been trying to think.

602
00:43:37,559 --> 00:43:40,559
You played that with my kid and
had to answer a lot of upsetting

603
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:46,760
existential question. It's just on the
PlayStation, I think. Yeah, he's

604
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,960
like, where are they going?
Where are all these people going? I'm

605
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,599
like, I don't know, but
we don't have that question. All right,

606
00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:58,679
I'm downloading Humanity right the second,
which is probably gonna ruin my podcast,

607
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:05,559
but oh well, it's worth it. Wow, I'm just suddenly reminded.

608
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:14,840
Yeah, I'm suddenly reminded that there's
an obscene amount of video games that

609
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:21,079
I've still yet to even touch,
and it makes me sad inside. Oh

610
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:24,519
boy, oh boy. Almost here's
the good news. We just got to

611
00:44:24,519 --> 00:44:28,320
get down to twenty and then we
just vote and then you just pick your

612
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,920
favorite. Well, yeah, here's
the thing, you know, with the

613
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,840
staff, with the team we have, I feel like we cover a wide

614
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,400
net of games that I feel like
the twenty we get down to, I

615
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,000
feel confident that those are the twenty
best games of the year. Also,

616
00:44:40,079 --> 00:44:46,519
we're all super fucking smart and said, I feel confident. I'm just going

617
00:44:46,519 --> 00:44:51,119
through like puberty again. You know. The scard thing is it was actually

618
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:53,320
hard to cut some games out of
the top twenty last year. It was

619
00:44:53,639 --> 00:44:59,039
so I think it's actually going to
be a bloodbath this year. Four.

620
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:00,639
It's going to be three or four
games left out that are gonna be like,

621
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:06,280
oh, that's that hurts people asking
what the mic is going to be,

622
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:12,400
including delations is absolutely no. No
Cam will quit if he is.

623
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,679
He said it multiple times. We
can't have someone with opinions that bad.

624
00:45:17,159 --> 00:45:28,320
I'm just so it was too easy. Someone else hear that. That was

625
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,800
really cool. I just thought that
was like a new door bell I had

626
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:37,039
or something, just like, wait, everything right, and they indicted me

627
00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:45,280
and we're going to take a quick
break and then we'll be back with our

628
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:51,480
hot topic. That's right, we're
over here. It's next to the food

629
00:45:51,599 --> 00:45:55,639
court. Time to go get your
funko pops, anime T shirts, selective

630
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:02,400
wrestling memorabilia, and weird body piercing
jewelry because we're at the hot topic today.

631
00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:07,880
Hell yeah, man, I wait, someone could have a horned Wait

632
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:16,079
wait wait, we're at the hot
topic today. Hell yeah, it makes

633
00:46:16,119 --> 00:46:19,800
it better that the horn is just
like again, I got that one.

634
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,360
I'll go about one. Okay,
all right, we're at the hot topic

635
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:31,360
today, solving crimes. That's right. We put a wait, wait one

636
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,840
more time, do one more time. Okay, we're at the hot topic

637
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:42,440
today, fat ass white girled.
My that's more like it. Hey,

638
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,440
you know, depending on the type
of I'm not trying to get canceled today,

639
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:52,400
I'm not trying not to get jo
canceled. God, you know,

640
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,119
I've been rewatching community lately, and
I realized I'm just like, I'm Ken

641
00:46:57,199 --> 00:47:02,000
Jong's character and the fucking Deans inserting
my knee into virtually everything. But people

642
00:47:02,039 --> 00:47:08,920
who do that the fucking worst.
Yeah earth, yeah wow. Anyway,

643
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:15,280
Okay, hot topic. Uh,
the hot topic we decided hot topic.

644
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:22,079
Uh. Shouts out to Jim gaffickan
bits from twenty years ago. We've chatted

645
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:27,039
about this for quite a while on
the website, and I thought, what

646
00:47:27,159 --> 00:47:30,280
better time than to just start a
whole new podcast besides conning my friends spending

647
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:36,519
more time with me, is to
talk about why, potentially is this switch

648
00:47:36,599 --> 00:47:42,320
the best console ever. No,
oh all right, well open it?

649
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:47,719
Yeah quick, you got no,
Okay, this Switch is a fantastic console.

650
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:52,159
Don't get me wrong, but it
is a fantastic console basically for Nintendo

651
00:47:52,639 --> 00:47:58,840
on Fortnite and Minecraft. If you
want to play any other Triple A game,

652
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,320
the worst player to play is on
the Nintendo Switch. Well, the

653
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:06,480
Triple A games aren't going on there. Yeah, a bunch of one like

654
00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:10,320
U you know you've got They stream
a bunch of stuff like Control was on

655
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:17,000
that apparently coming to it. Yeah, overwatches on the Apex is on there,

656
00:48:17,559 --> 00:48:22,119
but they're the worst versions of those
games. And so that's why the

657
00:48:22,159 --> 00:48:27,840
PC is the best consopt Well wow, okay, wow PC. I'm a

658
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,119
PC person, but PC is not
a console. Okay, Well, in

659
00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:35,440
that case, the best console sixteen. See, I think I'm with Lucy

660
00:48:35,559 --> 00:48:38,880
in everything she has said the last
five minutes. I will say that Jeff

661
00:48:40,199 --> 00:48:45,360
sixty is a special one. I
just the switch line up, like,

662
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,800
yeah, you could just say just
Nintendo games, that's like twenty of the

663
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,880
best games ever made in the last
sixty six or seven years and play Elden

664
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,599
Ring on the well, fuck elemen
Ring. I mean listen. Okay,

665
00:48:54,599 --> 00:49:05,280
elder Ring was the woad. Okay, that's what that was. Actually,

666
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:10,360
did you don't you've played your cards? Imagine you put the whole monologue on.

667
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,559
I don't worry about it. So
okay, Yeah, in Triple A

668
00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:21,719
Games, that's going to be the
big slide against the Switch. But I

669
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,079
play a lot of indie games.
I play way more indie games that I'm

670
00:49:23,079 --> 00:49:27,679
playing Triple A Games, not just
now but for many years now. I

671
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,159
played eighty ninety hours of Dead Cells
on there and that was amazing. I

672
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:34,960
played one hundred and fifty hours of
Hades on there and that was amazing.

673
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,400
And there's twelve thousand games on the
Switch and a lot of it's ship but

674
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:44,079
a lot of it's actually pretty good. I mean what this is, Oh,

675
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:45,119
there's a lot of shit on all
consoles, Like you go there,

676
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:49,639
Yeah, but like that many games
getting released, you're gonna be able to

677
00:49:49,679 --> 00:49:52,079
go in there and just explore and
find some gems. But really it does

678
00:49:52,119 --> 00:49:55,639
come down to I think those Nintendo
games have been on a real high tag.

679
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,760
Yeah, they've been on like strength
to strength, and starting in twenty

680
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:05,280
seventeen with Mario Otissey, one of
the best games ever made, and Zelda

681
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,239
of what's the first one called the
Breath of the Wild. Yes, and

682
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:14,599
then and then a really good Mario
Kart game, not maybe arms, but

683
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,800
like every year sentence had at least
one or two pretty good ones. And

684
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:21,880
then we're in twenty seventeen we have
Pickman four, another Zelda, and now

685
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,920
Super Mario Brothers Wonder and it's just
like, man, that's a really really

686
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,559
strong lineup. If we're comparing first
party can get games. I do think

687
00:50:28,559 --> 00:50:30,519
there's a really strong argument for the
switch, but I'll agree the weakness that

688
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:34,239
probably is the third party, right, And I think that's what you have

689
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,400
to consider when we're talking about this, right, Yes, yeah, of

690
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,679
course in a vacuum like, yeah, I think it's the best. I

691
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:45,519
think it's the best Nintendo console ever. Sure, that's easy. That's easy.

692
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,559
I think that's pretty easy. I
think you have to look at the

693
00:50:49,599 --> 00:50:54,280
fact Lucy brought up backs Box three
sixty, literally a console where every single

694
00:50:54,320 --> 00:51:04,440
one they made originally broke, Hey
Bose, break Coon drift. I wonder

695
00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:07,199
if you know, right, so
there's that too, But every single Xbox

696
00:51:07,199 --> 00:51:12,159
three sixty was defective. I'm not
joking. That's true, don't never know.

697
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:17,679
That's exactly what happened. A billion
dollar right off. I feel like

698
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:23,880
people are very, very very understanding
the PlayStation to today. We'll get there.

699
00:51:24,159 --> 00:51:30,239
There is not even a competition.
It's fine, it's fine. I

700
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:36,440
can also change my vote. But
I think I think there is an I

701
00:51:36,519 --> 00:51:40,039
know it's fleeting. I think there's
a an amazing legacy moment where you're like,

702
00:51:40,079 --> 00:51:44,840
god, damn, that was a
broken console and it still has this

703
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,760
legacy that is like almost impenetrable.
I think that because that's when it made

704
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,559
playing games with other people, and
that's just playing games with other people being

705
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:53,840
go on your friends list and see
what everyone else is playing. And for

706
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,599
those first couple of years, it
was like everyone's just playing Oblivion, and

707
00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:00,320
then everyone's playing the next game,
and then everyone's playing the next game at

708
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,840
the same time, and that making
you feel like you were part of something

709
00:52:04,519 --> 00:52:07,280
was pretty magical at the time.
And so yeah, that stuff, I

710
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,760
don't think it's ever been better than
the Xbox three sixty. When it comes

711
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:15,559
to we have we have, we
already moved past the idea. Here's what

712
00:52:15,679 --> 00:52:17,559
here's what I want to say.
Add to that, I think if the

713
00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:22,760
Switch is not the best console ever, which I'm still on defense of saying

714
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,320
whether or not it is, I
think it joins fuck, god, damn.

715
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,280
It's another wrestling analogy, the short
list. He joins that list of

716
00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:37,400
pillars in uh, the mountain,
Sure, the mount rushmore. Where Like

717
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,159
when I fondly think back the last
couple of generations, I think of the

718
00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:44,159
three sixty, I think of the
PS two. I think a couple of

719
00:52:44,199 --> 00:52:46,679
years from now we will think of
the Switch in that same case. Sure,

720
00:52:49,119 --> 00:52:53,039
I think I think we can all
agree that no one is going to

721
00:52:53,039 --> 00:52:58,519
be saying the PlayStation three. Nope, exactly right, the PlayStation is real.

722
00:52:58,679 --> 00:53:01,280
Miss. What is what is the
topic that you wrote down? Is

723
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,840
the Switch the best console ever?
Okay? That is the question that when

724
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,679
you answer it's in top five,
it's a yes or no, yes or

725
00:53:08,679 --> 00:53:14,039
no, and the answer is no, no, yes, no. I

726
00:53:14,039 --> 00:53:16,480
mean like it is. It's it's
a good console, like it's a good

727
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,719
handheld device. It's got some good
games on it, but it was like

728
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,119
immediately outclassed by everything around it.
I feel like the idea of a good

729
00:53:25,159 --> 00:53:32,320
console is you have to also factor
in the fact that owning a switch also

730
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,800
makes you incredibly envious of literally everyone
else around you who has anything else,

731
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,400
because you're like, I can't play
that I can't play, that I can't

732
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,559
play, that I can't play that
you have. The switch is like I

733
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:45,599
remember when it first came out,
everyone was like, you get a console

734
00:53:45,679 --> 00:53:50,320
and then switch on top to like
to be you play the Nintendo games.

735
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,719
And I feel like that is why
it can't be the be all end all.

736
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,480
I love my Switch, but I
am playing Nintendo games on it and

737
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:02,320
nothing else. It can't implementary Kendo
console. I don't think that can make

738
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:08,079
it a like any other console in
history, makes a better case for owning

739
00:54:08,119 --> 00:54:13,199
it on its own, even like
the GameCube, which had a real rough

740
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,079
goal of it, I would say, has a better case to make for

741
00:54:15,159 --> 00:54:20,280
owning a GameCube and nothing else than
the Nintendo Switch does. Well, that's

742
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,840
the that is the set of characters
that you are judging them by, right,

743
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:29,639
Yeah, Because for me, I
get the it's the being INDIAUS thing.

744
00:54:29,679 --> 00:54:32,199
I get when people say that,
but I don't feel that at all

745
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,800
with my switch because my switch just
fits with how I play games so much

746
00:54:37,119 --> 00:54:39,400
that it's like it's not on the
Switch. I'm good, I'm I'm hanging

747
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,800
out, I'm laying on my bean
bag, I'm gonna play some games before

748
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,800
we're going to bed. I can
play a little bit in bed and getting

749
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:51,039
on the TV and making a night
of it. I'm past that in a

750
00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:54,119
lot of ways where it's just like
it's these games, especially if it's gonna

751
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:59,880
be a familiar game or familiar genre
or something like that. And that's why

752
00:55:00,039 --> 00:55:01,800
where the Switch is like, Okay, we're gonna make it easy for games

753
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,679
to fit in your life and they
can come to you wherever you're at,

754
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,360
whether that's whether you're traveling or at
in the house and you're want to sit

755
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,320
with your family while they're watching TV
or whatever. Uh. And so that's

756
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:15,400
that goes a long way for the
form factor for me. But but then

757
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,480
you know, I win a game
is on there, and I will admit

758
00:55:19,519 --> 00:55:21,679
I'm not playing a lot of the
Triple A games on there that do get

759
00:55:21,679 --> 00:55:23,079
ported. I played a little bit
of The Witcher, but that was years

760
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:29,079
after it came everywhere else, so
that hardly counts, and it always is

761
00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:32,760
a worse experience. But there are
so many good games on the Switch that

762
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:38,239
have that don't even factor into that
arithmetic like that that it It's never even

763
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,159
really occurred to me as a problem. I'm playing the Switch constantly and have

764
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,239
been for six or seven years straight
now, so I just don't feel that

765
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:52,079
at all. How you getting on
with the online stuff on this one,

766
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:59,440
So that's I I agree with Grub
a good chunk of it, except for

767
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:04,679
the nintend Switch Online service, where
it is very lackluster. I flipped my

768
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,440
shit when they announced that they'd be
adding Game Boy Advance games to it,

769
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:13,960
and to this day, I don't
think we have that many still. At

770
00:56:14,039 --> 00:56:15,840
least we don't have the ones that
I would consider as like part of the

771
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:22,599
canon of the GBA, like if
they had thrown in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

772
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:27,079
I'd be down with grubs saying that
this is the best console ever because

773
00:56:27,159 --> 00:56:31,400
I have that opportunity to play this
game all over again, and now there's

774
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,760
other people that also have this opportunity
to play that game all over again.

775
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,920
Grubb, you were about say about
the online stuff, Yeah, I mean

776
00:56:38,199 --> 00:56:43,360
it's bad, especially when it comes
to any sort of trying to communicate with

777
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,639
your friends. They're like, use
this app, and that app is a

778
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:51,679
joke. It's a fucking joke.
It's really bad. You know. I've

779
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,880
had good online experiences on the Switch, but most recently with Wonder, and

780
00:56:54,199 --> 00:56:55,960
like I said, I think I
said this this morning, and that's the

781
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,440
exception that proves the rule with Nintendo
online stuff. Obviously they can do better,

782
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,119
and they just haven't. They just
haven't because look at this game.

783
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,400
It's a perfect online game. There's
literally nothing wrong with how the online works,

784
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,599
and that in fact, almost every
game should be copying what Super Mario

785
00:57:10,599 --> 00:57:15,039
Brothers Wonder is doing. And that's
obviously copying a lot how from software games

786
00:57:15,039 --> 00:57:17,639
work like that, but they've made
it makes sense in a in a family

787
00:57:17,679 --> 00:57:23,519
game. But every other game is
like their biggest online games, Super Smash

788
00:57:23,559 --> 00:57:28,639
Brothers Ultimate. People don't play that
online. People who love that game don't

789
00:57:28,639 --> 00:57:32,199
play it online because the online is
so bad. So and that's an argument

790
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:37,000
that really does appeal to me when
I hear that, it's like other systems

791
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,320
have figured that out and you're taking
that forward or established it like the Xbox

792
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,800
three sixty did I think when it
comes to the online stuff Xbox three sixty,

793
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,119
when it comes to the Library PS
two, I do I think that's

794
00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:57,719
probably where the argument probably should be
happening. So I still maintain that it's

795
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,199
not the best. Yeah, it's
not think it's not it. I've got

796
00:58:01,639 --> 00:58:08,000
one recently and it's great. Pretty
What what if we did a either a

797
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:13,519
top five or a mount rushmore?
How many faces are on the rushmore?

798
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:20,639
As many as you want? This
full faces? That's before I guess Sun

799
00:58:20,679 --> 00:58:29,840
Diamonds and so yeah, it's another
and uh and and jojo, all right

800
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:39,440
listen and then one can babe.
I think it's I think it's okay.

801
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:44,159
So we're saying yes, being there
right, let me get this out of

802
00:58:44,159 --> 00:58:49,360
my brain real quick. I feel
like there. I feel like the Switch

803
00:58:49,719 --> 00:58:55,320
hasn't completely reached its full potential because
of it doesn't have much time left well,

804
00:58:55,719 --> 00:59:00,639
and I don't think it will.
I don't think it will because of

805
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:05,320
Nintendo kind of putting itself in both
camps of wanting to be a home console

806
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,760
wanting to be a handheld. There's
not enough stuff for the Switch to be

807
00:59:09,079 --> 00:59:14,360
a modern handheld device that's fun.
Like. I think it'd be completely different

808
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:20,199
if there's street Pass available on it
or some type of like more mobile friendly

809
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,880
online games, which the Switch is
just not built for it, and it's

810
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:27,599
also not built to be like a
home console that you just leave plugged into

811
00:59:27,639 --> 00:59:30,280
the TV. So you're not saying
that it hasn't reached his full potential.

812
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,519
It has reached his full potential.
It's just that it's potential, isn't ye

813
00:59:36,039 --> 00:59:38,519
fun. Yeah, they can go
to different it can't reach potential it doesn't

814
00:59:38,559 --> 00:59:42,920
have. Yeah, they can't go
to Namik and talk to the old Namechian

815
00:59:43,039 --> 00:59:49,400
and have him touch his forehead and
just yeah. I if you're like looking

816
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,400
for the era of like what they
did with the DS and especially the three

817
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,400
DS, yeah I could see that, but I don't know that was for

818
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:59,280
me a time and place thing.
The Switch is trying to be a very

819
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,679
different comp sold in that. Uh
So, Jen, I'm gonna need you

820
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:06,639
and I'm gonna need you to say
it, whether it is or isn't the

821
01:00:06,679 --> 01:00:13,199
greatest console of all time, say
it in full it same way. What

822
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,480
is I want to hear what you
think is? Okay, the Nintendo Switch

823
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:23,840
is not the best console of all
time? There it is there, it

824
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:36,039
is, folks. The Xbox three
sixty is can we throw can we throw

825
01:00:36,079 --> 01:00:39,119
in? Handouts? Handouts? Like
handout consoles. I guess, I guess,

826
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:43,159
I mean because I would probably put
the DS up there in the in

827
01:00:43,159 --> 01:00:46,079
that Mount Rushmore if well, I
think we have like I think we have

828
01:00:46,119 --> 01:00:51,599
a solid three right, Like I
think we have switched PS two and three

829
01:00:51,719 --> 01:00:55,599
sixty and then it's like, oh, what's that four spot? And are

830
01:00:55,599 --> 01:01:02,559
we charitable? What we've got PS
two switch sixty and sixty, which is

831
01:01:02,639 --> 01:01:07,000
nice? Everyone's represented there like the
Big Three? What about the Steam Deck?

832
01:01:07,039 --> 01:01:09,840
Then? If we true, do
you want everyone to know we can't

833
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:17,920
do very consolely though? We can't
do it's all the consoles open. It's

834
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:22,519
a piece, it's a piece,
feels like it's a Superintendo. I do

835
01:01:22,639 --> 01:01:24,440
feel like it's a Superintendo. When
yeah, I mean I think I think

836
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:28,440
you're I think you're probably right.
He says that first in the song as

837
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:37,079
well. Yeah he does, he
does Genesis getting over whatever, Okay,

838
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,400
any anything else that could go in
there, though, anyone have anything else

839
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,760
that they would want to put in
there? I mean those Tiger electronic handhelds

840
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,440
that they pass out happy meal.
I was gonna say maybe the original Antis,

841
01:01:47,599 --> 01:01:54,280
but I mean a Dream cost with
a boot disc. Sure, Yeah,

842
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:59,840
well, I mean d S three
d S I would probably back for.

843
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:05,199
Actually, yeah, yeah, that's
a good day. The DS.

844
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,159
I think it is the good one
because it has a game Boy Advanced Cartridge

845
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:09,280
slot in there, which should count. So you write all of the game

846
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:15,280
Boy Advanced library and and the DS
fucking rules clever girl. It has a

847
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,280
Switch like library in terms of a
ton of games coming out, and a

848
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,679
lot of the Nintendo stuff was very
good, stuff like Dragon Quest nine was

849
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,599
amazing on there, and I don't
know, Elite Beat Agents Jesus Christ.

850
01:02:27,639 --> 01:02:30,800
Yeah, there's so many good games
on this. I think the appeal of

851
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:35,239
the DS is that Nintendo is able
to reach peak weirdness. Yeah, in

852
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,760
a way that like a lot of
people are able to finally digest. Like

853
01:02:38,199 --> 01:02:43,320
Phoenix Right came out on the DS
first r Latin America, in the United

854
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,159
States. In the United States.
Oh man, I like this. I

855
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:51,360
like where this is how I want
them, This is how do we drop

856
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,440
the Super Nintendo for it? Yeah, I think with that is like the

857
01:02:54,519 --> 01:02:58,840
switch. While you know, the
Nintendo Switch Online is in his robust A

858
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,960
lot of those Super Nintendo games pop
up in the collections and stuff like that.

859
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:05,320
You can play them on the switch, and so it's like this this

860
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,239
huge library sort of thing that really
kind of overpowers that for me, and

861
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,000
so I'd like I would keep the
switch on there, put the DS on

862
01:03:12,079 --> 01:03:15,119
there, PS two, Xbox three
sixty, and wrap it up. So,

863
01:03:15,239 --> 01:03:17,280
you know, I think that putting
the DS on there is a good

864
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:23,760
shout because the DS offered a lot
of very specific experiences that you can only

865
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:28,199
get on the DS. On the
d you know, because like they re

866
01:03:28,199 --> 01:03:31,400
released Pokemon Diamond and Pearl on the
Nintendo Switch and a big component of that

867
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,920
game was the dual screen, and
they just tried to do a picture and

868
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,800
picture. It just made me hate
the game, which is one of my

869
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:43,400
favorite Pokemon games. So that dual
screen essential. You know, what else

870
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,440
we haven't considered is the fact that
you can slam a DS shut. The

871
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:54,000
clamshells are so good with authority,
like your gameplay thing where it's like you

872
01:03:54,039 --> 01:03:58,880
were closing it would cause like a
stamp to get stamped and I can't remember

873
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,599
what game it was or Spirit tracks. Yeah okay, yeah, yeah,

874
01:04:02,639 --> 01:04:05,119
yeah, so I don't know.
Just something about that was just so clever

875
01:04:05,159 --> 01:04:09,519
and fun. I also had Grand
Theft Auto Chinatown Worst which is a really

876
01:04:09,599 --> 01:04:16,480
really good game. It was advertised
by Nicole Kidman. Yes, yeah,

877
01:04:16,599 --> 01:04:21,960
yeah, brain Age. Oh that's
really good, Lucy, I know exactly

878
01:04:23,039 --> 01:04:27,960
what you're doing. They're very good. Yeah. Col Kidman's brain Age was

879
01:04:28,039 --> 01:04:30,159
very shocked about it. Problem is
that the Castlevania games some game Boy answer

880
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,039
better. But they're pretty good on
Yeah, that's true, they're pretty good

881
01:04:33,079 --> 01:04:38,280
on the DS. I'm okay with
us. Scribble Knots first popped off on

882
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,920

my mind as a kid. Yeah,

883
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:49,599
the bestsover okay with that? Ah, because I think Nikki brought it up.

884
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,039
They said, like, what was
the what was the game where you

885
01:04:53,079 --> 01:04:55,679
had to draw the spells on the
bottom screen? Do you do that?

886
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,719
No, Comy Den you do that. You definitely do that in one of

887
01:04:58,719 --> 01:05:01,000
the Castlevania ones. Yeah, you
draw spells in that e comedy. Then

888
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:06,880

892
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,400
are the best versions of cooking Mama. I can see that. Oh

good about our choices. Me too.

904
01:06:20,599 --> 01:06:24,159
