WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:30.079
Mm hmm. Today is March fourth. I'm sorry. It's not your fault

2
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:35.280
that it's March. I'm sorry I
did that. Why I moved the sun

3
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.719
again? No, I'm just I'm
happy that it's March because it means that

4
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.600
daylight Savings is right around the corner. You love daylight saving and you know

5
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.799
what that means. I don't know. That's that's it's great savings. It

6
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.439
means that as someone who has to
drive to and from, it means that

7
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.600
I might occasionally see the sun on
my way home. I no, yes,

8
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.920
yes, we would be lighter later. Yeah, being at work after

9
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.240
it's dark is not. Yeah,
totally driving home in the pitch black and

10
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.959
everything's thought gonna happen. Uh,
that that is more likely to happen.

11
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.439
I don't mind that so much.
It makes me feel like I'm being proactive.

12
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.599
It makes me feel like I'm up
before the crack of dawn. It

13
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.159
makes get this day started. It
makes me feel like I'm breaking the law,

14
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.439
because if you're waking up into still
dark out, odds are you you're

15
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.879
gonna go do something? Yeah?
Exactly. It's like they're these stop signs

16
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.159
are getting taken down. You need
to go to an airport, mister flight

17
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.519
again breaking the law. Yeah,
get the hell out of out of here.

18
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.359
Wait, so we're gonna washing my
hair, dying, cutting and dying

19
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.959
my hair in a gas station sink, ripping my teeth out, my molars,

20
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.079
priest, yep, yeah, bring
your fingerprints off. I don't have

21
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.799
to do that because I super glute
them to my hands. Smart. Smart.

22
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.680
It's gonna pay off. Yeah,
real, real, tough six months,

23
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.040
but but eventually I know it's coming. Yeah. I'm Jeff Gersman.

24
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:59.640
That's Vinny Caravella, Drew Scanlon and
Brad Shoemaker and Hi, Hey, oh

25
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.719
hey Addy, what's up? You
know not? You know? Cool?

26
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.760
Yeah? Do you think it's weird
that some states within our union don't acknowledge

27
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:08.080
daylight savings? Hey? Look,
there are some states in our union that

28
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.240
are total fucking bullshit for a lot
of reasons. That you're when your when

29
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.000
your lines you're drawn in the sand. Yeah, that is definitely one of

30
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.520
them. If you're like not us, like fuck off? Isn't it just

31
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.000
Arizona? I thought there was a
there's there's Arizona for sure than there are

32
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.680
when public he wrote that song.
By the time I get to Arizona.

33
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.879
It was to protest that they don't
support daylight savings. I think so.

34
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:30.360
I think that's what they were going
out. Let's all get on the same

35
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.439
page as a nation. Yeah,
yeah, that now is not the time

36
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.280
to be divided. We need to
be let's let's spring forward together. Yeah,

37
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.439
it's the United States of America.
There are fifty of them. We

38
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.759
need to be in lockstep on this
people. That's why flavor flav where's that

39
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.199
clock? Right? Yep? He
always needs to know what time it is.

40
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.479
He's like, oh shit, I
need to set this an hour forward.

41
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.000
So annoying. Yeah, yeah,
let's go to Arizona. No,

42
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.360
and we never have to, that's
like, no, I'm okay. You

43
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.680
know what, last time I was
in Arizona, a very long time ago,

44
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.199
I had a great time. Dry
heat. It sounds like it's it

45
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.120
sounds like a bad place these days, but Arizona. Yeah, last time

46
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:14.360
I was in Arizona, I shot
a shotgun into a punching bag. Great,

47
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.280
it was great. That's the last
time, like a like a speed

48
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.879
bag or like a heavy bag,
like a heavy bag. Okay, yeah,

49
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.319
there was like a there was a
dryer out there too. Awesome.

50
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.080
Did you shoot the dryer? Yeah? That one? Was it a forty

51
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.319
four rifle with like the John Wayne
freeway. You call this the cock Yeah,

52
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.879
you're making like a yeah, the
lever action, that's what it's called.

53
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.680
Okay, yeah yeah, yeah cool, Yeah it was great. Yeah,

54
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.960
real bad punching bag problem Yeah,
well the herd. Yeah, you

55
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.680
got a thin out that punching bags
down there have basically gone Ferrell at this

56
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.000
point. The best part about shooting
that punching bag with a shotgun was after

57
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.479
a while in the desert, after
a while, it caught on fire.

58
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.159
Why I just combusted? I didn't
even know you catch on fire. That

59
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.599
was just standing there. But there's
something burned. Why did he catch what?

60
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.000
What you're using? Flame? What
was the accelerant? Yeah? Flame?

61
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.680
Emmoh okay flame? Flame? Shot
brought my wrists all the flame?

62
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:20.600
Mud, fireball? Did you have
to even put it out? The desert?

63
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.439
Desert? Man, I don't let
it burn desert. The desert is

64
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.439
made out of fire. Yeah,
that's how you make a desert. Let's

65
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.519
go to Arizona. Yeah, you
guys have really turned me around on this.

66
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:38.160
I'd like to know how much of
Arizona is habitable, like there's like

67
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.800
two percent? Is it mostly desert? I don't know that big? Is

68
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.639
Maricopa County big big? Then you'll
have your answer. Okay, okay,

69
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:54.199
well yeah, let's get into it
as we talk about the last seven days

70
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.160
in I was gonna say in video
games, but that's Drew. What's up.

71
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.800
How's it been going. What's the
last week look like for you?

72
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.199
Uh? Since last we spoke because
we do not speak during the week or

73
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:10.040
make eye contact as per your contract. Yeah, I've been doing a lot

74
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:16.160
of cooking, okay, with science
mm hmm. Yeah that sounds like drugs.

75
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:21.920
Yeah, I followed tested dot com
definitely drugs. Yeah. Yeah,

76
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.839
they're like, hey, guys,
we got some new ways for you to

77
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:31.360
make coffee. Wink wink. I
don't know. Will Smith looks like he

78
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:39.959
hasn't slept in about a year.
Well there's a reason for that. Yeah,

79
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.759
Arizona again. Yeah, coming back
up, what what sort of science

80
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.079
cooking have you been doing? Are
you one of these Suvie motherfucker's? I

81
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.040
just got one of those. It
sounds great. What is the thing everybody's

82
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.360
money It is called the Sands Sair? Yeah? Uh so, how much

83
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.920
it two hundred bucks. How do
you spell sair air? Yeah? Oh

84
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.319
like without air. Yeah, but
one word s A N S A I

85
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.519
R E M sounds far. Yeah. Yeah, so you just put French

86
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.560
fries in that thing, all right. So for people who haven't heard of

87
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.879
the concept, because it seems like
it is just blowing up in certain circles.

88
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.000
But other people are like, what
the fuck are you talking about?

89
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:25.439
You put meat in a bag and
then heated up real slowly. Yeah,

90
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.360
yeah, it could be anything.
I think people start doing it with vegetables

91
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.000
and stuff too. Sure. Eggs
I saw, yes, I saw a

92
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.680
Southied egg that had been cooked for
Oh my god, I want to this

93
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.480
can't be right. I want to
say, like three days maybe is that

94
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.160
possible? Yeah? They people cooked
for three days. Referenced towel with my

95
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.560
purchase that gives uh cooking times for
various I'm sorry, a referenced towel.

96
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.959
Reference towel. So they've just written
like times on a towel. H huh,

97
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.560
okay, no, I get it, Okay, go on. It's

98
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.920
basically a hot water bath, right, yeah, so it's yeah, it's

99
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.120
a hot water bath. But like, so you are putting the food in

100
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.160
a bag. Are you putting water
in the bag and then putting the whole

101
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.600
water bag into water? The bag
has to be vacuum sealed, okay,

102
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.079
close to it. I mean you
could buy a vacuum sealer if you're a

103
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.120
crazy person. But I just take
a ziplock bag, immerse it in the

104
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.759
water until the very top of the
bag and that kind of squeezes all the

105
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:23.160
air. Then you just seal it
and then yeah, the thing, the

106
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.720
machine heats it up and then keeps
it at a level temperature, so you

107
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.199
can say, dial it into one
thirty. Put your steak in this water

108
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.160
bath, and in an hour your
steak will be one hundred and thirty degrees

109
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.800
all the way through, as opposed
to like when you throw it on a

110
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.560
grill, you're super hot on the
outside, but then you cut it open

111
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.399
and it's raw in the middle.
I mean a lot of people don't have

112
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.079
that problem. I am terrible at
cooking. Stay, yeah, totally.

113
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.920
I I charm on my apartment Like
on a grill, it's a lot easier,

114
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.639
But I don't have a grill.
Saying you don't like it raw in

115
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.879
the middle. What's the objective,
man, I think we need to establish

116
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.959
the objective even cook. You don't
like a rare steak that's even they cooked,

117
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.480
Yeah, you want it. You
don't want to chart on the outside

118
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.279
and raw in the middle exactly.
So what you do is you dial in

119
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:18.519
exactly to the point one place of
a number that's called the tense place.

120
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.959
Okay, all right, okay,
it's very tense. Stay with me here.

121
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:28.120
Uh, you can dial it in
that fine of a temperature adjustment and

122
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.840
then have your meat at that temperature
inside. So but when you pull it

123
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.279
out, it looks like kind of
gross, looks gray and disgusting. Okay,

124
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.080
you don't want to eat it,
even though it's perfect temperature inside.

125
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.799
So you see it on the outside. So I did like ninety seconds on

126
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.639
each side to make it actually look
like a steak. But that's only so

127
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:48.480
it looks like a steak, like, you don't have to do that.

128
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.679
Well, it's also some it's also
flavor. Well, yeah, you're creating

129
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:56.960
a crust around the outside there.
There's actual still happens, actual molecular gastronomy

130
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.480
taking place. Yeah, there's some
weird protein action going on when you create

131
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.320
the crust that creates you know,
a different flavor and stuff like that.

132
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.799
But you might just like it without
that. You don't have to do that.

133
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.240
Yeah, you might like it.
Gray. You know what this sounds

134
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.960
like to me, sounds like,
Okay, go ahead. It sounds like

135
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.120
a deep friar for fucking pussies.
Putt putting water lukewarm water in there and

136
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.399
just hung up on the meat in
the bag. Let's put fucking hot oil

137
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.440
in there and drop the meat in. It'll be done in like five minutes.

138
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.559
It's crispy, it'll come out fine, And that would totally work.

139
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.480
But you've got to be super Johnny
on the spot with how long you leave

140
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.399
it in there? Right with a
deep friar? All right? If you

141
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.759
don't know this is on the spot, Benny thirty seven sec. It's exactly

142
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:43.480
Caravela. That's not the first one
to call, uh, see you next

143
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.840
week. So there Anything about the
CVD is that you can leave it in

144
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.320
there for ever and it will never
overcook because it only just brings it up

145
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.480
to that temperature. And that's that. Yeah, like being at that temperature

146
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.720
for longer, it doesn't actually Okay, all right, that makes sense.

147
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.000
And the other thing is like,
is there any benefits to doing that,

148
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.480
like I left it in there for
like four days and the flavor change,

149
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.960
Like it won't over cook it,
but it'll like break stuff down like you

150
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.879
know, tissue. I'm all about
breaking it down downs, get all those

151
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.200
proteins out of there. Like the
science stuff is cool, and cooking it

152
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:20.200
perfectly it is cool, but I'm
really about easiness. Yeah. See you

153
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.279
you might have actually sold me on
this concept because everyone else who talks about

154
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.919
it is like just talks about it
like it's any other like very fancy food

155
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.559
prepared preparing item. For people that
are not me, They're like, oh,

156
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.519
you need to get into this and
fancy this food because I'm a real

157
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.080
foodie here, and I'm telling you
this is the way to do it.

158
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.039
But the idea, So I've been
running into this problem for years where I

159
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.799
don't know a met thermometer because I
don't cook very often, but I do

160
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.559
cook, you know, it's like
occasionally i'll cook. So I went and

161
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.480
bought chicken, thinking like I'm gonna
I bought a chicken and I've got a

162
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.240
curry mix, thinking like I'll make
a chicken curry and rice and it'll be

163
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.039
fun. And then the chicken got
to a point where it was like you

164
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.559
need to use or free is this
today? And I said, well,

165
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.879
fuck this, through it in the
freezer and now I'll probably never use it

166
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.039
because it's outside out of mine.
Who knows. I'll send that freeze it

167
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.600
for a year to check this out. I went to the store, okay,

168
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.759
and you can get chicken, like
a chicken breast in like a vacuum

169
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.360
sealed yeah, thing with like marinate
in there. So the idea is you

170
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.399
you open it up and throw it
in a pan or something and bake it

171
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.360
or throw it in a or yeah, a pan and cook it on the

172
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.279
stovetop. But I just took that
package and threw it in water. I

173
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.679
didn't even open it and just cracked
it in its own thing. Chicken I

174
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.799
think is like twenty five minutes or
something. That's good. Yeah, chicken

175
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.879
cooks pretty quickly. That what temperature
though, that's because you have to get

176
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.360
it up to one sixty five right, yeah, yeah. Yeah. The

177
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.360
thing that the sans there does a
really good job of heating water really quickly.

178
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.360
And that's the other thing is that
everyone everyone who talks about this,

179
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.960
it seems like they're talking about days
or something like the ultimate slow cooker.

180
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.159
You're looking like a brisket. Yeah
yeah, and you're talking like seventy two

181
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.840
hours. But so I I that's
ridiculous. I did. Yeah. I

182
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.360
don't want to do that. But
if you're like having people over for like

183
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.399
a big old barbecue thing and you
want it to be special, yeah yeah,

184
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.600
totally yeah. But like I so, I put this thing to the

185
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:24.840
test last weekend. I bought uh
to New York strips, a flank steak,

186
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.279
a try tip, and two hanger
steaks. Yeah. How much water?

187
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.960
What's the capacity of it? It's
a pot. It's like a four

188
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.879
I mean you you it's the sensor
itself is like a big water bottle.

189
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.360
It's tall. Yeah. You basically
just clip it to the side of any

190
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.519
pot or any water vessel and it
circulates in there. Oh yeah. So

191
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.200
I just had a had a pot
and it's like, I don't I don't

192
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.639
know. It's a big spaghetti pot. Okay, So we I went over

193
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.039
I took it, or my friend
has one. We went over his place.

194
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.000
Uh. We took a little cooler
kind of like the size that you

195
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.840
would carry a six pack of beer
in with. Guys filled that up with

196
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.679
hot water, put the sands there
in there, turned it on through all

197
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:18.759
six of these cuts of meat in
there, six seven six six yeah uh,

198
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:24.440
and cooked them all for ninety minutes, brought them all out serum and

199
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.080
they're perfect perfect. Yeah. That
sounds all right, that sounds all right.

200
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.039
Yeah, it was super easy.
Of course. Now these things are

201
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.759
like because it's a weird kickstarter thing, it's now like sold out. Did

202
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.080
you did you started it? Okay? Yeah, so not widely available yet,

203
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.840
no use bath them, I am, and my bathtub is already in

204
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.879
use. So you can do this
with another type of cooking, but I

205
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.720
won't get into now you can.
You can do it with a with a

206
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:56.120
cooler and just a thermometer and very
fine. I mean you gotta you gotta

207
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.919
tend to it. You know,
if you're if you're you know, you

208
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.559
see the temperature drop, then you
got to add hot water, ice cubes

209
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:07.759
or time consuming monotonous process. That's
why they have robots to do it.

210
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:16.200
So actually last night I had my
suvid thing cooking salmon, I had my

211
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.639
slow cooker doing a pork shoulder,
and I had my George Foreman cooking chicken

212
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.600
breasts. Nice all the same time, just fire and forget man. Yep,

213
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.120
robots are doing my cooking. It's
awesome. It's protein, it's a

214
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.080
significant amount of I just love meat. And then I remember seeing the suvie

215
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.879
on Top Chef and they always used
it for fish, and it was always

216
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.799
like, I guess because fish is
you know, it's delicate, a narrow

217
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.960
window. Yeah, and there was
like, uh, like many but it

218
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.159
was always a gigantic bath right.
Yeah, it was like a giant slow

219
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.840
cooker and these guys are having to
do it manually, right yeah. And

220
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.720
then some of some of always fucked
something up in there. Three chickens forty

221
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.320
five minutes because salmon was twenty five
minutes. Hmm, how did the chicken

222
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.200
come out? Well, granted you
have a marinade, so that's not mama

223
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.480
chicken. And okay, well,
which one of these was happening before the

224
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.799
other. The egg came first.
I always I'm confident who discovered the egg,

225
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:20.519
the chicken? The fuck you who
you've been with? Sorry? And

226
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.720
then yeah, that's how baby chickens
come out? Got it? Dinosaurs?

227
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.440
Man? Yeah, dinosaurs? How
did the chicken come out? Because I

228
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.360
always find out how was the chicken? It was good. I always find

229
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.159
it better than I always seem to
overcook it on the George. Yeah,

230
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.639
yeah, like chicken breast is the
hardest thing for me to cook without it

231
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.240
coming out dry and stringy and gross. You know, you can eat it,

232
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.320
but it's not good. Yeah.
So it's one of the things where

233
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.440
like like being somewhat worried about chicken, right, you can't afford you tend

234
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.279
to just go like a fuck it
and overcook it and dry it out because

235
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.080
that one you can't afford to fuck
up? Why not you sort of can,

236
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.919
well you really don't want to.
You really don't want to pretty gross

237
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.399
wash it off, maybe be wash
it soap and water. I don't know

238
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.879
the food safety. I have a
meat thermometer. It seems to work on

239
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.519
yea. It's a digital one,
just plugging. I should really just get

240
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.519
one. It was one of those
things where I just cook something frequently that

241
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.559
I just I haven't had a reason
to get one, and they're like a

242
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.759
couple of cases a year when I'm
like a fuck, you know, I

243
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.399
really I should have a meat thermometers
just going I got fine, okay,

244
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.559
I'll get One's all right, fine, I get one they're so fun well

245
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.120
being color blend, it's actually kind
of tough, exactly like you. I

246
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.240
cut it up and I'm like,
I don't know, what's this pink?

247
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.759
I don't Yeah, I don't,
Like I cannot trust my eyes for cuts

248
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.679
of meat and go like, is
this rare? Medium rare? I don't

249
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:34.519
know. I don't know. Like
you know, I'll go to a steak

250
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:37.039
place in order a steak and then
I'll just say medium rare and they'll say

251
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.759
like pink all the way through.
I'm like sure whatever they say, yes,

252
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.120
make it orange. Do you know
about do you know about the hands

253
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.320
test for steak? Because yeah,
I yes, I'm bad at that one.

254
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.639
Yeah, I'm not great at that. Like it's yeah, built in

255
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.360
steak reference right there in your hand, My hand is steak man. Man

256
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.039
evolved to be able to cook perfect
steak. That's true. I believe squeezing

257
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:00.799
the ball part of your hand did
evolve or is he created that way?

258
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.480
Oh no, oh no, yeah, think about it. All these gifts

259
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.960
were provided for us. Look at
a banana, the perfect shape. Yeah,

260
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.160
sure, you can't explain that.
Yeah, I can't explain that.

261
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.599
All these meat thermometers seem bulky.
No, no, no, I've got

262
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.079
one that's like the size of a
pin with a little screen on the top

263
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:26.079
of meat thermometer that you can plug
into your iPhone. Oh yeah yeah yeah.

264
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.680
Automatic. Yeah, that sounds like
more trouble than it's worth. Automatic

265
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.000
has added some stuff. They added
if this then that support, So they

266
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.200
have if this then that recipes for
like when a trip is completed, send

267
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.160
a text message or something like that. So I might plug that stupid thing

268
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.319
back in and and see if I
can find any use for it, because

269
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.359
it was it was maybe a bad
it was maybe a bad purchase on my

270
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.279
part. I've got one that's like
two parts. It's a thermometer, computer

271
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:52.680
bit and then there's a wire and
then yeah, that's one. Most of

272
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:59.440
these look like put like the watching
the tempt while it's cooking, No man,

273
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.319
because its gotten alarm on it,
so it says, But I mean

274
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:03.960
the point is it can keep taking
it while the ovens like closed and cooking,

275
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.559
and then then it just I just
want to open it up and stab

276
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.759
it and go nope, yep,
that's what I do. I got a

277
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.039
little ten dollar digital one from like
home depot. Yeah, yeah, I

278
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:15.720
just like the alarm that goes off. It's like one forty time to take

279
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.119
it out, because sometimes it cooks
a little more while it's resting. It's

280
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.000
true. Yeah, internal temperature continues
to rise after you take it off.

281
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.519
Every everyone knows that. Everybody gonna
let it set. Yeah, I don't

282
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.920
know. I froze that chicken,
so it's gone forever. If you could

283
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.720
just drop that into a bathtub and
eat it twenty minutes later, you'd be

284
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.440
pecked. So you could just drop
it in my bathtub and eat it twenty

285
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.240
minutes later. If you think that
would work, you could put the suve

286
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.240
thing in the bathtub, right,
just shas a little while to heat it

287
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:48.559
up so it'll so it'll theoretically heat
any cluster of water. Yeah, So

288
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.960
like if I wanted a bathtub that
didn't get cold on me, I could

289
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.319
put that thing in there and then
just jump in the bathtub. I mean,

290
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:59.359
your electric bill might be pretty well. I mean I wonder if I

291
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.319
think even has the hour output the
heat and entire bathtub that fast. Yeah,

292
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.559
well, it might not be fat
you might be, but you might

293
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.319
be no, I mean, you
might be losing the heat out of the

294
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.000
water. You need one of them
faster. Yeah, sure, if I

295
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:11.319
get like five of them, and
then you know you're putting hot water in

296
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:17.200
it already, so it's just ten
needing to maintain. I got a note

297
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.799
from the power company that said,
hey, congratulations, you are like one

298
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:23.480
of the most energy conscious homes.
You are so much better than the average

299
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.279
house. So I can afford to
fuck around all the if you want to

300
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.240
keep if you want to keep the
water in your bathtub hot, just anything

301
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.559
with a heating element of work,
you know, just like plug a toaster

302
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:33.720
into drop it right in there.
All right, I'll give that a shot.

303
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.039
Yeah, hair curlers, blow dryer, put it right in there.

304
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.279
Yeah, blow dryer, definitely.
All right. I think I have a

305
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:42.519
camp fire, so I can't throw
it in the back, okay, all

306
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.200
right, Yeah, every time I
drop that stuff in there, my circuit

307
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.559
just breaks. It just tripps.
Well, you need to be you need

308
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.519
to be in the bathtub when you
put that stuff in. But it just

309
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.960
works. I got those, I
got those dumb ground fault interrupt Here's what

310
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.039
you do. Just cut the hair
dryer off of it and put the power

311
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.920
cable in there. It'll still trip. What I need to do. Get

312
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.799
a car battery, Get a car
battery. Cook hooked the clamps up to

313
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.240
the car battery. I was just
gonna smash my life on the bathtub and

314
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.519
take the leads out of that took
and then take the other ones and took

315
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:21.119
them onto your took him on,
do your chest and then hold the chicken

316
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.640
between my arms and jump in.
Yep. And then twenty minutes later,

317
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:29.079
it's like the best chicken I've ever
had, right, perfectly cooked. It's

318
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.720
perfectly cooked. The other great thing
about it is that you can buy really

319
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.319
cheap cut some meat because they're like
hanger and flank are really cheap. I

320
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.759
think in part because they're tough to
cook. Throw them in there and you're

321
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.000
gonna go. I've never had a
hanger. It's pretty Good's nothing wrong with

322
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.000
I don't know where. I just
got that three day egg figure for them.

323
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.519
I just looked up susied poached eggs
and it was like fifteen minutes.

324
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.000
You can just play less than three
days yourself fried daddy, It'll be half

325
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.839
Friday. YEA life will never be
the same. I've never owned a deep

326
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.119
friar. Yeah, it's probably for
the best. Yeah, it's just you

327
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.680
know, you gotta deal with oil
like that just sounds if you did have

328
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.720
one, though, or if a
friend had when you went over there.

329
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.319
Yeah, what would be the first
thing you're through in? I don't know.

330
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.720
Yeahs last time, last time I
had access to it. Last time

331
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.759
I had access to a deep friar. We threw car keys in there.

332
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:23.400
Did you batter him first? Yeah? What kind of batter are we talking?

333
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.440
Uh? It was like a pancake
ish. No, I don't know

334
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.200
it was. It was like a
it was it was like a funnel cake.

335
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:36.119
Yeah. Yeah, it was very
funnel cakey because we were battering oreos.

336
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.160
Frying. Yeah, that sounds all
right. Try pickle. Those are

337
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.519
okay. Fried pick Oh hell yeah, dude, fried pickles are fantastic.

338
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.680
Snickers park them many times, Yeah, some people do. Yeah, I

339
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:56.240
don't know. Snicker doodle is a
differents a cookie, yeas twinkies. You

340
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:57.559
just have to. It's one of
those things where like you put those,

341
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:02.480
even just the oreos, just because
the filling, like you have to be

342
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.519
really quick about pulling them out or
else, Like all the filling melted and

343
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.880
then squirted out of the side of
this battered and now it's just like floating

344
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:15.720
in the oil like it's as I
got it, and it's it work a

345
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.519
little baked Alaska. That sounds all
right? What have you just dumped like

346
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.720
cake icing in there? Just balls
balls of fried icing. I don't like

347
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.119
instead of oil. I don't like. I don't like cake frosting. I

348
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.359
don't think it's very good. I
like what there's a lot of bad cake

349
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.799
frosting out there. I like a
good cake frosting. Yeah, like a

350
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.319
white frosting, not at all.
Yeah, you would say that, Yep,

351
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:41.759
I had. I had a fried
Snickers bar at the North Carolina State

352
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.400
Fair. That sounds like the place
to have one. My knees almost buckled

353
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.880
when I ate it. I swear, I swear to Christ, one of

354
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.359
the best things I've ever eaten in
my life and fucking mind blowing. I've

355
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.400
never had one. Oh my god, it sounds ladies fanning themselves. Oh

356
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:03.960
my god. Yeah, the oh
my lord, the Snickers. It was.

357
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.200
It was right after I had eating
a giant turkey leg though, so

358
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:10.680
that may have contributed. Are you
doing living going to the state Fair?

359
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.880
Man? Do you drive around in
like a golf car to like eat hire

360
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.480
you can hire a guy to push
you around in a wheelbarrow. Get at

361
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.160
the end of the night, they
just dump you out and take you over

362
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.079
the front. Just dump you out
in a pile of bodies. Man's like,

363
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.000
get out of here. You have
fucking lumped everybody moaning. Just where

364
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:36.279
do you do a mass Grave guy
hosing you down? Just in the morning.

365
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.480
They'll be up soon. Just gotta
hydrate them and push X to eat

366
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.559
deep fried Twinkie in mass Grave.
Just whatever you do, please go on

367
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.200
the tilt the world before you go. Jeff, you ever been in the

368
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:52.079
Marine County Fair? Uh? Maybe
once? Okay, but no, No.

369
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.839
I usually would go to I mean
Peddlum has a fair in the summer,

370
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.960
right, and then later there's the
Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa.

371
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.160
Usually go to that, uh and
thin because they have you know, they

372
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.400
have a horse racing track and they
do some horse races and some other stuff.

373
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.680
There were miniature horses at the one
oh Man. Yeah, that sounds

374
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.839
good. Where they're racing, they're
just hanging racing. Is there a different

375
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.680
I think there's a difference between ponies
and miniature horses, right, I don't

376
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.960
know, but that that fair had
the very worst ride I've ever been on.

377
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:29.519
What it was it? Which one? Yeah, it was the zipper.

378
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.279
How does it work? It's imagine
a chainsaw okay, yeah, okay,

379
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.279
like the blade of a chainsaw sticking
straight up out of the ground.

380
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.920
Yeah, and then all the teeth
are hinge baskets where you sit. Yeah,

381
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.759
two person baskets, and those can
spin around. They depend independently,

382
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:55.920
got it? So the elongated yeah, somebody just but you were in a

383
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:57.799
cage that can spin around on its
own. It can do full three sixties

384
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:00.599
regardless, you know, like the
Ferris wheel. You can't really spin a

385
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:07.880
three six. So it's spinning.
Your car is rotating about the h the

386
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:14.599
axis, so you are flipping head
over heels. Then all those chairs are

387
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:21.759
going around the chainsaw blade, and
then the chainsaw blade itself is rotating.

388
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:29.440
Yeah, like the clock faced clock
hands. So you'll end up in situations

389
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.640
where it all lines up just right
and you are you are rotating out as

390
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.519
you are being flung just at the
right angle on this clock thing over.

391
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.759
So it gets like this most the
highest speed possible. You pulling some g's

392
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.720
on that, yeah, yeah,
you kind of pulling some g's. You're

393
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.079
kind of pulling a few g's.
I lost stuff out of my pocket.

394
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.079
I bet in that one year,
like lost loss, not in the cage

395
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.359
anymore. Yeah, gone came back. I like rides. I like roller

396
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.079
coasters and stuff like that. Yeah, it's scarier, just uncomfortable, extremely

397
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:07.119
uncomfortable, like not only what is
it nauseating in that sense, but it

398
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.680
was also like a very poorly constructed
Yeah. That's the thing about this.

399
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.200
It sounds like you you hear it
falling apart by on a little bit,

400
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.279
like this bolt wasn't in here when
I got in. Just weird, like

401
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.279
why why is it making all these
noises? My policy is always, don't

402
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.079
do traveling rides. Don't get on
mechanical rides that move around that they take

403
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.839
from place to place. But so
many people do, and they's so I

404
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:32.160
mean, the odds of anything happening
to you, yeah, I guess I

405
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:34.160
don't know. You hear about a
good member of them though, Yeah,

406
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.599
somebody somebody was killed it. I
think at the nc stay Fair, like

407
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.440
a couple of what were they doing? Shit happens many unbuckled their seatbelt.

408
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.440
I don't know, gravitron or something
not taking a risk. I don't care

409
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.279
that much what I'm saying, you
know, would be fine at like,

410
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:49.720
you know, so you won't do
that disney Land or what a place?

411
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.920
A place where the rides are permanent
and reasonably well maintained. You just don't

412
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.519
hear about it. Okay, So
Brad Shoemaker will not take the risk on

413
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:02.000
the Zipper, but we'll either fry
sneaker bar. Yeah that's followed by a

414
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.200
turkey leader. Yeah, I'm I'm
a bigger fan of a sure thing,

415
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.720
you know, but I like to
know your odds, you know. Yeah,

416
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.519
as long as as long as I'm
deferring in the consequences for thirty or

417
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.880
forty years, I'm smart. Smart, just put it off. I once

418
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:17.720
took my or got out of my
harness once on a ride and they were

419
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.200
not happy. But not Why would
they be happy about that? Why do

420
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.240
you think that would make them happy? The ride was stuck, all right,

421
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.680
and I was laying down. It
was one of these rides where you

422
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:33.039
get on and you lay down and
then eventually as the ride goes, you

423
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.799
flip over so you're flying. Yes, like the Superman roller coaster. Yeah,

424
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:38.440
it may have been that, or
like some Batman thing. I don't

425
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:41.599
know, the Batman thing when you're
sitting down and your legs were kicking.

426
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:48.519
That was that, like Great Adventure. Okay, I've never been to Grand

427
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:51.000
Adventure. Yeah, you mean Great
Adventure. It's just kind of the same

428
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:52.359
as Great America. Okay, some
of the same rides, even the six

429
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:57.000
Flags. Yeah, I'm sure there
are multiple Batman rides, but I think

430
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:03.519
this one was. Anyway, I
was on my back and the ride was

431
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:08.519
stopped and we're going anyone since after
we had come to almost completed it and

432
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:11.880
we had not gotten back to like
the part where you get on yea,

433
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.319
So we were like, you know, fifty feet away, and it's very

434
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.599
frustrating. So I sat up and
looked around there like, sir, sir,

435
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:30.799
sir Batman that word for you.
Yeah, I got stuck. The

436
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.079
biggest roller coaster in the universe at
Great Adventure, a Great Space coaster.

437
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:41.160
No, this was after that.
It was the build that's the biggest drop

438
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.920
in North America and in the whole
universe. I'm pretty surely no, let's

439
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.680
say the known universe. I can't
speak, I'm no physicists. The biggest

440
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.359
drops have yet to be discovered.
Might be some cool alien roller coasters out

441
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:55.839
there, probably, or they might
come here for ours. Anyway, we

442
00:28:55.839 --> 00:29:00.240
were at the crest of the hill
that and the power went out out in

443
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.920
the park. Yeah, I got
stuck on a ferris wheel the very top.

444
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.839
Did they make you get down?
No, the power got back on.

445
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.559
They might just get out and walk
down the like gantry. That sounds

446
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.759
unsafe, they may. I was
sitting I don't like heights, but I'm

447
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:19.559
kind of I'm okay with where all
the coasters kind of like you were saying,

448
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.440
like you'd hear about it, they
wouldn't be able to operate this thing

449
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.359
and people were dying. I'm in
a safe situation, so I'm okay,

450
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.400
but I don't like heights. And
we're like eight thousand feet in the air,

451
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.920
give or take, and I just
remember sitting there, I'm not gonna

452
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.680
be able to get out. They're
gonna have to airlift me out here because

453
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.839
you want me to do what like
take the harness off. We're at like

454
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.240
forty five degrees or whatever it is, and go out down that little fucking

455
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:47.880
catwalk you always see on the side. You're like, man, who the

456
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.319
fuck goes on that it's it's like
when you're driving across the bridge and you

457
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.759
see the little cat walk things,
you're like, man, that job must

458
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.559
suck. And this was like on
the edge of the thing. And there

459
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:03.640
was a person there from the ride
with both arms around the railings, sitting

460
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:10.160
down being like, you guys need
to you need to get off. Fine,

461
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:11.680
you'll be fine, but you guys
all need to get down. The

462
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.880
powers out and we don't know when
it's coming back on. Why would they

463
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.559
tell you that seems like a liability
nightmare. Well, because we were in

464
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:18.839
us. If they said, if
we had gone over the hill, we

465
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.799
would have been fine because the momentum
would have taken us throughout the rest of

466
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:25.160
the ride. Yeah, but since
that's where we were, I guess it

467
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.880
was unsafe for us to be stalled
there. Doesn't like look into place or

468
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:33.839
something. And so as as we
were getting down, poor workers had to

469
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.119
climb up this gantry too, and
they're all like just holding on for dear

470
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.759
life, sitting on the steps,
and they're supposed to be the ones that

471
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.559
are helping us get down, just
like trying to trying to extend as little

472
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:48.279
hand as they can to anybody is
a nightmare. Wow, at least,

473
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:51.160
I mean, that's better than getting
stuck upside down like in the middle of

474
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:52.839
the loop. Though. See I
don't think you could though. I think

475
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:56.960
they were saying happens in really Florida. Who lot. Yeah, they were

476
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.519
saying that, like we would just
go through it, like thementum of the

477
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:07.079
ride would have taken us to a
natural stopping point. Man. That's that's

478
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.319
crazy crazy. I'm just turned the
world over all right, Well, what

479
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.720
else, Vinny, what's been going
on in your neck of the world.

480
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:19.079
I'd be Lord's shadow too, speaking
of roller Coast, speaking of next,

481
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:26.000
speak of the Dracula kill Satan.
I'm not those spoilers here. I don't

482
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:36.720
want to ruin it for anybody fair
enough. That game Uh oh it's good

483
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:45.920
yea, Uh, they've got worse
as I went really huh. They were

484
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.200
high points, and then the thought
that's the twist. The first one got

485
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:53.000
better later on. I figured they
would like front load all those stealth sequences

486
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.079
people don't seem to like, and
then you'd kind of get into the meat

487
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.160
and it would just be there what
you were looking for. It was a

488
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:07.839
really terrible boss fight where you have
to hide from the guy and the ending

489
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:15.519
was anti climactic. The first one
had a pretty sick awesome ending. I

490
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:21.160
thought it was great. The definitely
what's that? Maybe they're saving for the

491
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:25.319
DLC maybe uh that That first first
games ending definitely kind of whapped you over

492
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.839
the head with like, holy crap, where did that come from? It

493
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.440
was kind of dark and you're like, man, that's cool, Like,

494
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.480
okay, that's sad and cool and
interesting. This one was a little more

495
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:42.519
like track imagine Dracula walking off into
the sunset, kind of like thing like

496
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.759
didn't they say this was the end
of their arc? Yeah, they did

497
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:47.480
well. They said, yeah,
they were not working on another one of

498
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:52.799
these. But I expected something to
happen at the end with that being said,

499
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:58.480
right, oh man, he's gonna
explode into Dracula dust. No,

500
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:01.960
no, I kill the dust.
It was like like basically, high five,

501
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:07.759
let's walk away, alright. So, like, without giving away too

502
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.880
much more, if people want to
finish it on their own and whatever,

503
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:13.160
I don't want to spoil I mean, stuff does happen in it. Sure

504
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.839
there are plot twists, but it
was not the not what I was looking

505
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:19.240
for. At the end of that
game, and some of that stuff just

506
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:24.400
got not fun. Bumm me out. I got sad. Are you glad

507
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:30.119
you played it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you had to like what

508
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.240
it was. Yeah, I'm kind
of glad the they It would have bummed

509
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.960
me out more if they said they
were gonna continue with or they hadn't made

510
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.720
those uh statements about the franchise like
this is the last one, because it

511
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:45.319
did not leave me excited to play
continue playing that franchise. The first one

512
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:46.960
did and it was like I'll play
more of this and this is one of

513
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:50.559
those ones that's like I'm done.
Okay, you know, we're finished.

514
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.319
So that was kind of a bummer. Oh Brad, your your baffler's back

515
00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:00.559
falling on you baffler? Yeah,
careful with that. Uh that's well yeah,

516
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.039
yeah, you're well. I'm solved. It took me a while to

517
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:10.159
get through that game. It was
not super short. But yeah, I'm

518
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.239
interested to see what some other people
have to say about it who were very

519
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:15.960
excited about it. Okay, a
few other people that were like yeah,

520
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:21.639
yeah, yeah, and I'm wondering. Yeah boss fight, I forget who

521
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:25.800
was against something with it? He
was like a giant tree and you step

522
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:29.840
on the leaves and he kills you, and well, yeah, I mean,

523
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.400
yeah, if you were a tree, you'd probably be pretty pissed if

524
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:38.440
people stepped off then, but you're
Dracula, who cares well? I mean,

525
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:42.320
can a tree be undead? Can
Dracula bite a tree and make it

526
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:45.440
into an undead? Tree? Should
be able to. There's a boss fight

527
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.119
against a lady with a lantern,
and the tree is filled with steaks.

528
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.119
You could really ramp through a vampire's
heart. So it seems like a tree

529
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.639
fight would be really fucking rugged.
I thought you meant the other kind of

530
00:34:54.639 --> 00:35:00.719
stacking New York. Yeah, hanger
steak to hang off the branches. Just

531
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.519
dip that tree in a bath of
water. It tastes perfect. Yeah,

532
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:07.679
so that was kind of a bummer, But I'm glad I moved on because

533
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:12.480
games are starting to come out,
and yeah, opened up my schedule.

534
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:17.039
It's clear what's next for me.
Yeah, probably South Park? Are you're

535
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:21.320
in for that? Yeah? That
game looks pretty good. It is pretty

536
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:27.079
good one. Alex Navarro hinted that
he might. Oh yeah, he more

537
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:31.079
than hinted at this intimated I give
this game five stars. If you catch

538
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:37.079
my drift, you know what I'm
saying, I'm not sure that I follow

539
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:39.320
Brad. You've been playing some South
Park. I'm pretty close to the end

540
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:43.519
of it. That game is awesome. Yeah, game is fantastic. I'm

541
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.920
not sure I understand what you're saying. Let's see, sorry for equivocating.

542
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:52.719
Let me try to explain myself.
It's really good. Mh ice cream.

543
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:59.320
That's those aren't words. Well I
can't he's talking, but I don't understand

544
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:06.079
it. Video game equivalent of a
fried Snickers bar. You're being hyperbolic.

545
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.199
Actually it's not that good, but
it's pretty good. I totally I agree

546
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:14.320
with everything Alex said in his review, Like he really summed up my feelings

547
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.039
on that game quite succinctly. Is
it a good game? Yes, I

548
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.920
totally think it is. I totally
think it is. Like it's it's weird

549
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.079
though the way that a lot of
people have been approaching this, so I

550
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:27.280
feel like the way I need to
talk about it now is within the context

551
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.679
of what a lot of people have
been saying about it this morning with the

552
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:30.880
review is coming out. Okay,
I didn't read any of this, so

553
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:36.159
a lot of people are really upset
that it's only like twelve hours, which

554
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:38.679
I think I have to imagine ohs
to the fact that they are coming at

555
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:44.039
this. Well, it's an RPG
as an RPG specifically one made by Obsidian,

556
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:47.079
right, Yeah, this game is
an RPG. Second, it is

557
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:52.920
a vehicle for south Park first,
So like all the fan service is the

558
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:54.519
point of this game like this,
Like that's why you should come to this,

559
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:00.960
Like don't get this just looking for
like the next great sprawling RPG like

560
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.039
you just saw the quickly Look you
know what I'm talking about. I do.

561
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:06.679
That game is fully voiced with it
is actual Yeah, voices from the

562
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:14.280
game like it is. It is
incredible the amount of stuff like from from

563
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:17.039
like like the jokes and humor to
voiceover to like unique art for all the

564
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:21.440
enemies and areas that you're going to. It's a side quests just too.

565
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:25.159
Like I've mentioned this before even just
like you know, Goofy loot like loot

566
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:29.599
specific to the different dungeons you're in
where they hide little jokes and stuff like

567
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.679
it is everywhere, like there is
no repetition really throughout that whole game.

568
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:37.000
Yeah, it's got one of my
favorite things in games and across all media.

569
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.480
A lot of time spent for one
dumb joke. Yes, right,

570
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:42.079
yeah, absolutely, yeah, one
off, just like that's it. You're

571
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.119
just gonna put that one thing there, like, okay, good one.

572
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.239
Like every like every enemy in the
game, all of their attacks, with

573
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.320
a few exceptions, are are pretty
funny or a pretty amusing or clever or

574
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:55.360
whatever, And a lot of that
stuff you'll see literally one time, you

575
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:59.039
know, like but Black Boss characters, you know that you're going to fight

576
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:02.119
once. Like they did some pretty
elaborate animations and stuff for a lot of

577
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.679
the stuff they do. But yeah, it's it's it is incredibly dense with

578
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:12.119
just you know, stuff right everywhere
you go. So in that sense,

579
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.920
the twelve hours feels totally fine to
me because I think if they had made

580
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.960
a twenty or thirty hour game,
it would not have been sustainable. Do

581
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:23.400
you don't think they could have created
enough variety and kept it moving at the

582
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:27.320
pace it does for that long.
They probably would have taken this much content

583
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.079
and just stretched it totally totally.
And a lot some of the people that

584
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.280
we're falling on the side of this
game said, yeah, like you know,

585
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:36.159
take your typical like JRPG or whatever, and if you take out most

586
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:39.280
of the repetition, you're probably left
with about a dozen hours of unique stuff.

587
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:44.800
But yeah, this this thing is
primarily a vehicle for you to interact

588
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:47.559
with a world that looks and sounds
and feels exactly like the TV show,

589
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:52.000
right, So you're not doing a
lot of grinding or zero grinding, okay,

590
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.360
whatsoever. Like it's it's a pretty
easy game. You could bump it

591
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:58.199
up to hard, but I've heard
from some people that even hard is not

592
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:04.000
like exceptionally punishing. It does seem
like enemies respond in the world eventually as

593
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:06.880
you wander around, so you kind
of could level up more if you wanted

594
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.199
to. But I haven't done any
of that, and I haven't really had

595
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:14.599
any problem with I think I might
have died like twice. Do you feel

596
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.320
like there's room for discovery within the
game or is it totally line people?

597
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:22.840
You mean in terms of wandering around
like probably most people's experience, but definitely

598
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:24.719
mine. When you first start the
game, once you kind of get your

599
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:30.039
first major story point, like first
big story related quest is to put it

600
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:34.360
off for like two to three hours
just wander around because there's all like from

601
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.320
the get go, there's stuff unlocked. You can wander through just about the

602
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:39.800
entire town right off the bat and
find a ton of side quests and stuff.

603
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:43.119
I said, they're like keys you
need for the houses. Yeah,

604
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:45.440
a lot of the stuff. A
lot of the people's garages are locked,

605
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:49.000
and some office buildings and stuff like
that. Like, you definitely can't get

606
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:52.679
into everything until you start moving the
story forward some but there's plenty of side

607
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.760
stuff to do right away that it's
really easy to get lost in. And

608
00:39:54.840 --> 00:40:00.280
then they they do, they do
the thing I really like with the question

609
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:02.400
based structure like this, where they
hold a bunch of the side stuff back

610
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.360
until you hit certain story beats,
right, you know. So it always

611
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:07.920
feels like even if you clear out
all the side quests before you move the

612
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.559
story on, like every time you
unlock new locations and stuff, or even

613
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.679
in old locations, you're finding new
side stuff to do, right, Okay,

614
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:19.440
So you're constantly busy, like kind
of going off to the side doing

615
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.400
little stuff that unlocks you new you
know, new gear, and you see

616
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:27.199
different cut scenes and stuff like that. Yeah, it seemed like the humor

617
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.760
and a quick look the part you
showed me, it seemed funny. Yeah,

618
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.519
and uh, it seemed like they
were doing a good balance between you

619
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:37.719
know, South Park humor, general
humor, and like bits and pieces of

620
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:42.159
video game humor. Yeah, they
sort of. They Yeah, they they

621
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:44.960
riff on video game and fantasy tropes
a decent amount. I thought there was

622
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.679
gonna be way more of that stuff
in what sense, like the fantasy stuff

623
00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:51.480
specifically we're in a video game,
right, Oh no, I mean they're

624
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:52.920
not self aware about being in a
video game at all, like not,

625
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:57.079
Yeah, and I'm happy too.
Well, there's there's a couple of sort

626
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.440
of oblief references to like things that
are over used in video games, but

627
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.719
they never like flat out say it
seems to be like that stuff. A

628
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:07.679
lot of that stuff, Yeah it
is. Well, I don't I don't

629
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.920
even mean like the referential stuff to
video games, like using the medium,

630
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.639
using the mechanics of a video game
to play a joke. Absolutely know,

631
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:17.840
there's tons of that, tons of
like everywhere. That stuff is pretty clever.

632
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:21.719
I liked the comparison. I can't
remember if you made it in the

633
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:23.159
quick look or right after we were
done recording, but you compared it to

634
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:28.639
costume quests in the way that like, both of these games do a great

635
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.960
job of depicting like kind of the
the scope of a kid's imagination, you

636
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:35.800
know, and how you can turn
like you know, our cardboard box and

637
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.320
like a garbage pail into like suit
of armor kind of stuff. Like you

638
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:42.800
know, pretty much all the equipment
in the game is cobbled together crap like

639
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:45.280
that, but then you get into
battle scenarios and like it all becomes much

640
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:49.239
much larger than life, you know, like it feels they do a really

641
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:52.480
good job of allowing like these kids
imaginations to sort of amplify this stupid stuff

642
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.679
that they've kind of pulled together for
their little kind of like you know,

643
00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:00.840
Fantasy War. It was particularly when
you did the summon or the no the

644
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:07.880
special ability for I forget which character
you're using us Butters maybe, oh yeah

645
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:09.840
it was Butters, and all of
a sudden he was replaced with like what

646
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:14.079
you consider his mind's eye to see
how he turns into Professor Chaos, his

647
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:16.880
big like evil villain alter ego.
Right, uh, and yeah like it

648
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:22.079
but like I stylized like like right, like whatever's like whatever's going on in

649
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:23.480
their head is what's actually playing out
in the real world. That happened for

650
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:25.880
the other characters yeah, well,
I mean do you mean in terms of

651
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:30.239
them like morphing and stuff like not
necessarily, but like if they all everybody

652
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.679
has crazy abilities that are you know, totally outside the realm of plausibility,

653
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.199
Like anything that they regard as magic
actually works like magic, you know,

654
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:43.440
even though even though the entirety of
the story kind of appears to take place

655
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:47.760
within the confines of reality whatever that
is in the South Park universe. But

656
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:52.239
yeah, like if if you actively
dislike South Park, like don't bother with

657
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.800
this, right, like you or
you will not find anything of value here

658
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.800
because I think the RPG stuff is
totally fine, but it is secondary to

659
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:04.400
in service of South part. I
think it's pretty fun. Like the uh,

660
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:06.360
you know, a lot a lot
of people said like, hey,

661
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:07.880
this is like a really lude Paper
Mario, Like that's a good that's a

662
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.920
good comparison. Yeah, like Paper
Mario kind of active combat, right,

663
00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:15.679
but also in the sense that like
something like a Paper Mario is considered a

664
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:19.639
pretty light RPG, right, Like
it's not a grind fest. It's not

665
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:23.039
like super customizable, like the like
Into Noo style of RPG is very similar

666
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.679
in that like you know, you've
got your set path. There's not that

667
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:29.199
much customization you can do. You're
kind of going through the motions as you

668
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:34.400
complete the story. This is very
similar to that, but there's there's an

669
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.719
incredible amount of gear, like constantly
picking up new weapons and armor. There's

670
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:42.519
there are multiple mod systems for you
know, giving your your weapons different effects

671
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:46.800
and stuff. So I you know, there's there's a there's a talent tree

672
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.599
for abilities, there's a perk system
for like passive buffs. I mean like

673
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:53.159
it has all the trappings of what
you would expect an RPG to have,

674
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:57.480
right, Uh, it's just that, you know, it's not super difficult,

675
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.719
but I kind of don't care when
like practically every new area you're moving

676
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:04.920
into and fighting new enemies, you're
seeing new goofy stuff and jokes and stuff.

677
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.559
You know. Right, that's that
all sounds pretty reasonable. It's all

678
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:09.679
about getting through the content and seeing
the dumb ideas they came up with.

679
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:15.000
You know, it's not it's not
about grinding your characters up and fighting really

680
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:16.239
tough battles or anything like that.
It's not. It's not that kind of

681
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:21.719
RPG. Uh sounds fun, but
it does play really well. Do you

682
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:27.239
feel like, are there things that
would make it replayable. Are there reasons

683
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:29.280
to go through it again or is
it just kind of like these are the

684
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:34.199
jokes seem and yeah, yeah,
yeah, ninety percent of the humor.

685
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:36.519
I think it's sort of you've seen
it once and that's kind of it,

686
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.880
right, I'm trying to think.
I mean, the character classes have different

687
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:45.599
abilities. There's there's one major choice
that I've seen that you make in the

688
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:51.159
story so far, but you can
you can create as many manual saves as

689
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:53.760
you want, so you could just
save, go back to a save and

690
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:57.119
try the other choice. It seems
like it doesn't make a huge difference to

691
00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:01.159
begin with. It's probably something you're
gonna play once and yeah, put down.

692
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:04.480
But there's a ton of stuff to
find, collectibles and stuff like that,

693
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.280
so you could spend a lot of
time looking for side stuff. Yeah.

694
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:10.760
What are the collectibles? Are?
Like? Homeless people? That's one

695
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.000
of them. Yeah, yeah,
well they're they're specifically homeless camps. Okay.

696
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.119
The mayor gives you a quest to
get the homeless people the hell out

697
00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:22.079
of town. Okay, so you
find them in their camps and fight for

698
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:28.360
blood and fight them and then they
leave forget what they call the fake Pokemon

699
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.760
Chin Pokemon. Yeah, there's a
bunch of those to find. Uh,

700
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:37.599
let's see what else is in there. I mean it's Alex. Alex has

701
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:39.360
made a very salient point and at
the end of the review, which was

702
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:43.199
like, look, I've said everything
I could say without just moving on to

703
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:45.639
spoiling specific jokes. You know,
at a certain point it's hard to talk

704
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:49.039
about the game because all the best
stuff is something you really need to see

705
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.960
for yourself, because it undervalues it
to just tell you about it for the

706
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.360
most part, tell me all the
jokes. Although that enemy type we saw

707
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:59.239
at the end of the quick look
was like one of the most sort of

708
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:02.400
eye opening or eye widening moments I've
had with the game so far, Like

709
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:06.599
the specifically what they do with the
voice work for those enemies. I was

710
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:07.840
like, Wow, you really did
The first time you see that, they

711
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:10.320
don't they don't give it any context, like later on in the game that

712
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:15.480
where you saw they've explained why that's
happening, But the first time you see

713
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:16.360
it, it's completely out of left
field. And I thought it was the

714
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:19.000
only time that was gonna happen in
the whole game, And I was just

715
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.719
like, did you really just do
that? We actually jesus uh. Yeah,

716
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:27.480
they they take some of the stuff
pretty far in some cases, like

717
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.039
they and I guess they've had to
censor it in a couple of regions.

718
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:36.199
Yeah, yeah, Australia, Australia, Australia looking at you, Australia.

719
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:40.360
Yeah, yeah, I didn't take
all the songs out. Yeah, just

720
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:45.599
too much, too much, just
inspires too much violence. Anything else,

721
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:52.440
Brandon, what do you what else? Hmmm mmm mmmm it's gotta be something

722
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:58.239
else. Mmm did that thousandth win
for Crispy Come? I didn't actually watch

723
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:01.480
that happened? Was something a little
bit of Doda? Yeah, Doda's pretty

724
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:06.519
cool. Should we talk about Trials? We did that video? Yeah,

725
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.440
Trials Fusion seems pretty great. Yeah, it looks awesome. I guess we

726
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:12.199
don't have to spend a lot of
time on it. There's a video on

727
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:15.639
the site. No we should talk
about is the part where the person was

728
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:19.559
talking to you and then headset and
what was that? Yeah, after the

729
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.519
after we've recorded that video, we
turned the volume on that b roll way

730
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.800
up to hear what was So there's
a there's a computer robot lady voice in

731
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.079
that game, which serves as your
tutorial. Yeah, I heard a bunch

732
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:30.719
of it when I was playing the
early levels, just saying like, you

733
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:34.440
know, push back on the left
stick to lean backwards on the bike.

734
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.519
You know, it's real boilerplate tutorial
information. And then what was she saying

735
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:40.320
in that b roll after we like
turn the volume way up? I love

736
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:44.159
you? Like, yeah, she
was basically something she was like, She's

737
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:45.960
like, do you think it's possible
for love to exist between a human and

738
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.320
a motor bike? No? No, that's crazy, just like real weird.

739
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:55.280
Are this going for loco cycle jokes? That's weird about the future too.

740
00:47:55.480 --> 00:48:01.320
Yeah. Yeah, it added a
weird extra angle to that game that

741
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.599
I'm I wasn't quite Trials has always
been like on the verge of being really

742
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:07.719
weird. Yeah, totally. You
know, the crashes at the end of

743
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:13.360
the levels, like the ridiculous freestyle
rap over the intro, like weird,

744
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:15.840
there's weird little squirrels they hide everywhere. Yeah, there's ways that you get

745
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:20.559
those kind of some some stuff.
Yeah, at the fringes of it that

746
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:23.360
maybe they're just putting in a little
more plain view. I guess the big

747
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:27.239
thing for this at the trick system. Yeah, the tricks thing seems like

748
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.800
it could be pretty cool. Uh, describe a little bit about the trick

749
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:32.360
system, because it's not just hold
next to grah Yeah. Yeah, Yeah,

750
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:35.599
That's what I like about it is
it's not like put in fighting game

751
00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:39.280
style arbitrary command sequences to make tricks
happen. It's it's like the right stick

752
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:45.119
basically controls your writer's feet in a
very physics seat way, like you kind

753
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:46.639
of swing them off the bike and
move them around manually. So I mean,

754
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:52.400
there are still set tricks once you
achieve a certain pose, but you

755
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.440
have to think about like your feet
colliding with the bike, you know,

756
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:58.440
like you can't if you want to
go over the handlebars, you can't go

757
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:00.039
forward because your legs, your knees
which you get caught on the handlebars.

758
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.599
You have to kind of swing them
around and go over the other way.

759
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:07.360
So that stuff seems neat, and
it seems like they don't necessarily lay the

760
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.599
trick stuff on too heavy. Like
from what I saw of the menus,

761
00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:15.079
it looks like the the tracks that
are specific to trick scoring. Yeah,

762
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:19.960
I only make up like it couldn't
have been more than like twenty percent of

763
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.320
the game. Maybe less, Okay, it's still the vast majority of the

764
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:27.519
tracks are still trials tracks, which
are just you know, time trials with

765
00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.480
faults being the kind of scoring mechanism. Are all the trick tracks like Giant

766
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:35.320
Jumps. I only played a couple
of them. I mean, yeah,

767
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:37.800
they definitely give it pretty fun.
They definitely give you tons of airtime.

768
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:38.920
You know, you need it to
be able to do the tricks and stuff,

769
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:42.400
but I mean not necessarily as much
as you know, it's not just

770
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:44.480
free form like, hey, you're
gonna be in the air for thirty seconds

771
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:46.360
to do whatever you want. Like
the part of the challenge is being able

772
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:51.239
to get cool tricks off and still
stick the landing because you have to cleanly

773
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.000
finish the trick off before you hit
the jumped through a hoop of fire.

774
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:58.079
Yeah yeah, yeah that was in
there. Has that game always had digital

775
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:00.599
controls? Are they analog on a
lean? They're always well, the very

776
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:05.800
first Trials for PC was like,
yeah, okay, so you can like

777
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:08.719
lean a little bit or like but
yeah, like since what was the first

778
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:15.800
console one was gold or no no
trials? HD? Yeah, I guess

779
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:19.320
that was anyway, as long as
they've been on consoles and trials. It's

780
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:23.760
two for PC. I think that
had three sixty controller support. Yeah,

781
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:28.559
they've practically always had analog leaning and
stuff in there. But that's key.

782
00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:30.079
I mean, that's key to you
know. I want to see Twitch plays

783
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:35.639
Trials. Yeah, sorry, I
don't think I would work out too well.

784
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:37.400
Think they beat Pokemon, didn't they
They did? They're you can pretty

785
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:42.320
much do anything, I guess,
so yeah. Yeah, I saw a

786
00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:49.280
turbo Twister suggesting Twitch plays quop m. I think they were. I think

787
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:52.599
someone was doing that. Someone may
think that look really funny. Yeah,

788
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:57.480
I forget Yeah, cool, anything
else, Brad, I guess that's it,

789
00:50:57.599 --> 00:51:01.199
all right. I uh. I
started to play load Out a little

790
00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:10.159
bit tie Roots load Out right.
Yeah, that game's kind of all right.

791
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:14.000
Yeah, it's not bad. Yeah, it plays well, It's like

792
00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:17.880
it moves well. Yeah. I
just I wish it was first person because

793
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:24.119
you are these big cartoonish dudes that
only exists to take up space on the

794
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:28.079
screen and get in the way.
Like there were too many cases where I'm

795
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.400
like trying to aim at something and
my character is in the way of that.

796
00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:35.280
Yeah, because you don't have like
a cover system there. No,

797
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:37.719
No, it's there's no real reason
for it to be there other than they're

798
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:42.400
selling cosmetic items for your dude and
they want you to see it. Well,

799
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:44.800
I will. I won't disagree.
That's probably the main reason. The

800
00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:49.159
one counter I would I would add
is that they have they have a dodge

801
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:52.760
system similar to oh right, yeah, and I always thought that the first

802
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:57.119
person dodging in you two you was
really weird, little kind of cumbersome.

803
00:51:57.239 --> 00:51:59.280
Yeah. So that's the one case
where I feel like being able to see

804
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:01.599
your character is really help. That's
a good point. Yeah, But otherwise

805
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:05.599
I'm kind of with you. Yeah, I don't know. It's the other

806
00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:08.199
thing is that I went through like
testing out all the weapon parts. Like

807
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:12.239
the whole thing has got this weapon
crafting system and you're like I'm attaching a

808
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:15.000
big scope and a barrel and you
know all this other stuff sort of a

809
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:17.920
Borderlands style kind of. It's a
million goods. It's not that different from

810
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:22.760
like Call of Duty really because most
of the parts are the only parts that

811
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:29.119
I have a real determining factor are
like the type of slugs you're firing.

812
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:31.920
You can change it to electric damage
or make it a healing gun or something

813
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:35.519
like that. But the rest of
it's like, all right, you can

814
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:37.119
put a different stock on it.
It's going you know, this stock is

815
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:42.199
going to increase stability, but decrease
this you know, you can put this

816
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:45.559
type of barrel on it to you
know, increase accuracy at the expensive rate

817
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:50.119
of fire. Like it's all those
types of very basic trade off. Yeah,

818
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:53.519
it's only when you get to kind
of the you know there's one specific

819
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:57.480
item for there's two specific things.
It's like is it a rifle, is

820
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.679
it shooting plasma or whatever? And
then what type of it is it's shooting,

821
00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:08.079
you know, if it's healing or
whatever. And I went through all

822
00:53:08.079 --> 00:53:12.440
the options and it just seems like
for kind of how I play, like

823
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:15.880
the middle the balanced items were the
best, So I wasn't I didn't feel

824
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:19.199
incentivized to like I'm gonna get a
different stock. I'm gonna get this.

825
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.719
It was like, no, this
is this is already pretty much what it

826
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:24.519
needs to be. Like I'll put
electric damage on it because that'll be fun.

827
00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:30.280
But then like the other stuff of
like increase hip fire accuracy and all

828
00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:34.760
that is all from you using the
gun, so it all levels up and

829
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.400
so it's like, okay, if
I get fifty thousand experience points while equipping

830
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:43.480
this weapon, then you know,
hip fire accuracy will increase by four percent

831
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:45.519
all this other stuff. So how
about other players? Did you see them,

832
00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:50.559
like is it a variety of guns
or they all kind of stick into

833
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.840
a couple of things. I didn't
really see anything too fancy out there.

834
00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:58.159
It might be hard to determine.
Also, it's a free to play game,

835
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:00.599
so everyone looked pretty much identical like
one of the default characters, and

836
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:05.320
they were using, you know,
whatever you can get without spending any money,

837
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:08.559
right, I think you know,
Brad and I have the steam Press

838
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:15.159
accounts that have like for whatever reason, like they there's a billion, Yeah,

839
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:19.760
there's a a trillion in gang credits
on that thing, which I didn't

840
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:22.000
really I didn't need to spend,
like, I mean obviously not actually like

841
00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:24.840
really like one hundred and fifty thousand. They must be crazy. They must

842
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:29.800
have added that sense. What happened
is is that like the every single pack

843
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:34.039
that you can buy in their store
has been flagged as a press access thing

844
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:37.639
and they'll stack okay, so that
most just like a bunch of in gang

845
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:38.920
currency. They must have done that
at some point after it came out.

846
00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:43.119
I didn't have all that stuff when
we did the quickly Excion trick yourself out.

847
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.920
No, there was there wasn't anything
that. I think all those stuff

848
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:50.000
they give you currency for is just
cosmetics. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't

849
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:53.280
buy any new dances. There's smooth
Criminal Dance pretty good. What do they

850
00:54:53.360 --> 00:55:00.519
call it, uh like slippery slick
thief? Yeah, something like that's the

851
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:04.320
name of Okay, yeah, I
think so the blutes, the blue currency,

852
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:06.920
or what you buy the weapon parts
with. Can't you only earn those

853
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.800
from matches? Yes, it's just
that what they're selling is like coin double

854
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:12.360
ers. Yes, they sell boosters
for that stuff. But I don't like

855
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:14.840
it. Seems well made for what
it is, and it seemed to be

856
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.159
a lot of people playing it.
Uh, it was kind of cool to

857
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:22.800
see Slee's Ball free to play a
feeling, Uh not really, all the

858
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:28.239
people playing it seem like Slee's Balls. Okay, I'll say that in terms

859
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:31.840
of the free to play currency design
and that kind of it didn't feel exploitative

860
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:36.000
from what I saw. Okay,
So like again, it's it's I didn't

861
00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:38.239
see that. I didn't really see
a need to spend anything, you like,

862
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:42.880
the some of the default parts they
give you were what I stuck with,

863
00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:45.960
and you can't and you can't spend
money to get the gun parts so

864
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:52.000
that those are all in game.
That's unlost, so you know, like

865
00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:53.880
that stuff's all right. But I
think I think I did end up spending

866
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:59.760
a little bit of what I had
because I bought sunglasses or something lame like

867
00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:06.599
that. You can also buy nudity
what what like? Fully really uh like

868
00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:10.239
it's pretty expensive, but it is
like just instead of pants, you're not

869
00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:15.320
wearing any and then they put pixelated
mosaic over it. But it's just like

870
00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:22.440
big dangly physics dick that you see
in the mosaic and it's really silly.

871
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:25.559
Uh Do other people see that?
Yeah, you can turn it off.

872
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:30.800
There's like a disabled nudity option,
which I assume makes that go away.

873
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:31.880
Also, I thought it was I
thought it was funny. There's also a

874
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:37.079
pretty expensive hairless option for all the
character types. Yeah, like it literally

875
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:39.679
just removes all the hair texture.
Yeah. Yeah, some of that stuff's

876
00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:43.920
real weird. Yeah, I don't
know. Expensime digging around and there and

877
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:46.639
messing with it is Yeah, it
seems kind of cool. Yeah, it's

878
00:56:46.679 --> 00:56:52.039
neat. It seems like a game
that should be on consoles, like it's

879
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:57.639
it's just that kind of looseness to
its aim and stuff like. It just

880
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:01.800
feels like the sort of thing that
people that it seems like a controller kind

881
00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:06.079
of game I could see that has
a shooting and stuff feel. It's okay,

882
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:08.920
Yeah it's not. It's not the
best, but I think the mass

883
00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:12.400
movement and stuff felt really tight.
The biggest problem for me is just that

884
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:15.119
everybody's such a damage sponge. Yeah, nobody goes down very fast. That's

885
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:20.360
that's that was annoying for sure.
Obviously, if you rank your weapons up

886
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:22.679
enough, I'm sure there would be
less of a problem, right, Yeah,

887
00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:24.519
But you know, I probably played
I don't know, I played ten

888
00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:28.800
matches or something like that and felt
like I was maybe a third of the

889
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:31.440
way to the next level with the
guns that I had equipped. I was

890
00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:35.599
using like a basically an assault rifle
that was shooting electricity, and then a

891
00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:39.840
rocket launcher that was shooting rockets like
a rocket launcher would electric rockets. No,

892
00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:45.519
just rockets. It's a good old
rocket. Yeah, nothing wrong with

893
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:47.000
a good old rocket, No,
it's you want to make a rocket launchers.

894
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:51.599
You are it's a shooter. I
want yea on my steak and a

895
00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:55.440
pan seared. All right, well, that's like a rocket launcher that's on

896
00:57:55.519 --> 00:58:00.679
you mess around with some Diablo three. He has touched it a stuff.

897
00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:04.880
I redown aloadle bit over the weekend, but I didn't fire it up.

898
00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:07.920
It's fun. Just keep hearing stories. It's just like, man, I

899
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:12.039
liked it originally. Get what you
want, yeah, but that it is

900
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:15.079
kind of weird, like is the
shop closed. Yes, the auction house

901
00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:19.639
I think is completely gone, and
they've got all the stuff in there for

902
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:22.360
the expansion. It just says like
you can't access the venture mode until you

903
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:24.800
buy the expansion, but you can't
buy that yet, so making a pre

904
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:29.440
order anyway, What is it venture
Mode? It's just it basically just removes

905
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:31.039
all the cutscenes and it just kind
of lets you go into an area and

906
00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:34.599
it fills it with monsters and gives
you like you need to kill this many

907
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:37.000
monsters and these named guys in this
specific zone. It's not even you're not

908
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:39.239
you're not walking through the game.
It's like, you're, all right,

909
00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:42.159
we're going back to the map,
We're going into the next area, We're

910
00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:45.079
gonn kill these guys. Kind of
a challenge mode. Basically, it just

911
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:47.119
distills like we're gonna do it on
diary, I'll run right, Yeah kinda.

912
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:51.920
So is the game now easier?
Is all I keep hearing people talk

913
00:58:51.960 --> 00:58:55.400
about, like the drops are craziness. No, because they they now balance

914
00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:59.519
the difficulty of the game to your
level, regardless of where you are.

915
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:02.679
They also completely changed what the difficulties
are called, and how the tears are

916
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:07.480
arranged and all that stuff, Like
they have rebalanced a lot of the game

917
00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:09.400
to where like, So, the
funny thing is when I first launched it

918
00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:13.239
and I was, you know,
the same character that I've had for you

919
00:59:13.320 --> 00:59:16.199
know, since I last played it. Yeah, it was really hard for

920
00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:21.400
about six minutes until you got your
first drop. Yeah, until the first

921
00:59:21.440 --> 00:59:23.400
few drops popped out, and I'm
like, oh, these are like forty

922
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:29.239
percent better than whatever the fuck I
have right now. That's keeping but the

923
00:59:29.320 --> 00:59:31.320
balance is there. Well, what's
I mean? It's not a difficult game,

924
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:36.239
but it was never a difficult game
on normal. So uh, once

925
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:38.920
I got you know, kind of
well equipped, it felt pretty similar.

926
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:42.760
Were you playing on normal with that
character. Did you bump it up to

927
00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:45.519
like Nightmare? I was playing on
normal. I was just I wanted to

928
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:47.679
see what normal was, and I
had a game that was already most of

929
00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:51.760
the way through Act one on normal, which seems weird because I remember bumping

930
00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:54.400
it up. But I don't know
what I was doing last time I played

931
00:59:54.480 --> 00:59:59.800
that. But I don't know.
People seem like the people who hated it

932
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:01.599
are playing and going like this is
what it should have been all along,

933
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:05.280
and I think it's it's fine,
but I don't know, Like I liked

934
01:00:05.280 --> 01:00:07.599
it originally, so I don't know. It's it's weird, But yeah,

935
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:10.119
I mean I did too. Obviously, we were not running it all the

936
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:14.400
way to the end of Inferno exactly. Yeah. I got like that's where

937
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:16.880
it sort of broke for some people. Is that? But from my from

938
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:21.800
my perspective, like I got sixty
really fun hours out of it and stopped,

939
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:23.079
and like I was like, well, that's you know, right,

940
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:27.480
it's a dollar an hour. That's
pretty good. But you know, if

941
01:00:27.519 --> 01:00:29.559
you really wanted to do everything there
was to do in that game, I

942
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:31.320
guess I could see why I got
frustrating. The whole gem system is still

943
01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:35.199
in place right, like the gems
are still there. Yeah, okay,

944
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:37.719
but I you know, I found
items that were better than all the ones

945
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:38.559
that I had, gems that I
got from the auction house, and all

946
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:42.239
you know, like all my auction
house gems are useless. And can you

947
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:44.320
take the gems out of your old
weapons? You can? Right, yeah

948
01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:45.880
you can. So you know,
if I get slotted weapons, I'll thrown

949
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:49.280
back in there. But but they're
dropping gems. But the gems are like

950
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:52.000
it's like plus thirty two strength,
and I'm finding things that are like plus

951
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:53.440
three hundred strength, and it's like, okay, well fuck these gems,

952
01:00:53.760 --> 01:01:00.039
man, you seem dumb. So
it sounds like they fixed whatever. I

953
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:01.039
don't think it was a bug exactly. I think it was more of an

954
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:05.440
oversight about the way it was designed. Whatever was allowing people to power level

955
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:07.800
insane rates. Did you see this? No? I didn't see that.

956
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:10.280
If you could make a new level
one character and I forget what the trick

957
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:13.840
was, but you could group with
people that were like max level or close

958
01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:15.280
to it or oh, and you
would just get in I guess these you

959
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:20.679
could power level to max level in
like fifteen minutes. Just take a new

960
01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:23.239
character all the way up and then
just have Max. I'm just still like

961
01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:27.079
level fifty three or something I would
have liked to have. I almost wish,

962
01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:29.760
Yeah, I almost wish I had
just like popped out of Max level

963
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:32.360
character of every type. Yeah,
but oh well, where's the fun in

964
01:01:32.440 --> 01:01:37.119
that? Yeah? It was not
about fun, man, It's about seeing

965
01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:38.480
the numbers go up. That's right. I want to see the numbers pop

966
01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:42.599
off the guys. I want to
see the items pop out of the people's

967
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:45.400
faces as they explode. I want
to check it out. I mean,

968
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:49.239
it's just it sounds like the loot
the lute progression, the lute grind is

969
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:52.599
way way more satisfying. Though.
Yeah, if you like comparing numbers to

970
01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:55.800
other numbers, this is now the
game for you. All right, Yeah,

971
01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:59.440
at least more frequently, you know, Colin always was I guess,

972
01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:00.880
but yeah, I don't know.
It's a it's a good time, Like

973
01:02:01.039 --> 01:02:04.000
it makes me want to play the
expansion when it comes out, Like the

974
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:07.719
beta kind of left me with a
good feeling. And this. Yeah,

975
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:09.480
now that that this these changes are
alive, I'm like, yeah, I'll

976
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:13.400
totally play through that new act.
I'll totally get through that stuff. That

977
01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:15.760
sounds fun. If they said how
that integrates with the game, you just

978
01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:17.440
launch it from the menu separately,
like it's not part of the store.

979
01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:21.039
It is. It's Act five.
Okay, So do you have to take

980
01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:22.920
a gay character through the main story
first? I believe so, Okay.

981
01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:25.519
I wonder if that means if you
beat Diablo at the end of Act four,

982
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:29.239
it just like loads you right in
seamlessly, like it's I don't know,

983
01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:30.800
just continues the story. I would
assume so yeah, because it says

984
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:34.440
Act five. But yeah, now
they load you into this menu where it

985
01:02:34.519 --> 01:02:37.159
already has adventure mode on it.
It's just great out and it says like

986
01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:39.519
you can't do this right, but
it doesn't say because it's not out yet,

987
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:43.639
it says you need to buy this. It's kind of weird anyway.

988
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:45.920
That's out pretty in the march.
And yeah, I think it's like the

989
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:50.039
twenty fifth or something like that.
It's a ways off Cup two, three

990
01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:54.159
weeks. That's not that far off
for the expansion. Yeah, a three

991
01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:58.039
weeks might as well be a lifetime
considering what's coming up before. I guess,

992
01:02:58.079 --> 01:03:00.519
so, yeah, it's kind of
yeah, GDC and anything else too,

993
01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:06.880
and then I fooled around with Call
of Duty Ghosts they put out DLC.

994
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:09.119
Yeah, when you fooled around a
little bit over the weekend, you

995
01:03:09.199 --> 01:03:14.519
know, things get weird, real
weird. Yeah, a lot of cursing.

996
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:17.800
You know, I don't hear from
Ghosts. I know, you don't.

997
01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:22.400
You're really you're really don't really don't
you really don't. No, I

998
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:25.639
just you know, as as we
get closer to titan Fall, I figured

999
01:03:25.679 --> 01:03:30.280
it would be a good idea to
play some other shooters out there, to

1000
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:35.880
just be kind of like, because
I have put Call of Duty Ghosts pretty

1001
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:37.960
far out of my mind at this
point. So I was like, Okay,

1002
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:40.639
since this game, since titan Fall
is going to be a lot like

1003
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:45.480
this, I should be up on
this a little bit, just to you

1004
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:47.519
know, so I can for comparison, refresh where we're at. Yeah,

1005
01:03:51.199 --> 01:03:52.639
yeah, still there, still there. I don't know. They put out

1006
01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:57.360
the mat pack on PS four,
like they're still coming out earlier on Xbox.

1007
01:03:58.119 --> 01:04:01.519
Uh, but I don't know.
I bought it on PS four.

1008
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:05.239
Well, so it's interesting now because
you've been playing a decent amount of Battlefield.

1009
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:10.360
So does it feel like going into
Ghosts? Do you feel like your

1010
01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:14.119
taste for what you want out of
a first person multiplayer shooter have changed,

1011
01:04:14.320 --> 01:04:15.760
No, not really, because you
know, it's like when you think about

1012
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:18.559
what I want to do when a
shooter, it's shoot other people, right.

1013
01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:23.559
Both those games have that the stuff. And even when I'm playing Battlefield,

1014
01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:27.119
I'm usually not playing Conquest, so
I'm not really getting into the vehicle

1015
01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:29.320
side of things because i know I'm
just like bad at that stuff and i

1016
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:32.159
just don't really care about it.
Like it's fun if I'm playing with friends,

1017
01:04:32.360 --> 01:04:34.199
Yeah, it's like, Okay,
the four of us are gonna play.

1018
01:04:34.519 --> 01:04:38.239
Yeah, well it's form a squad. We'll go fucking roll around in

1019
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:41.599
this tank and do dumb shit.
Then yeah, that's a completely different thing.

1020
01:04:41.719 --> 01:04:44.719
But if I'm just like I'll play
a little Battlefield here for a few

1021
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:47.679
minutes, like that's I'm just putting
in team death match or squad death match

1022
01:04:47.760 --> 01:04:54.159
or something like that and just shooting. So, you know, Ghosts still

1023
01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:57.440
feels like a smoother frame rate game
like Call of Duty still seems like,

1024
01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:00.599
you know, when it comes just
raw shooting. I think that's that's more

1025
01:05:00.599 --> 01:05:03.400
of the style I'm looking forwards.
But also the progression of Call of duty

1026
01:05:03.519 --> 01:05:06.400
and the everything of call of duty. Like, I feel like I've gotten

1027
01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:12.840
almost all the enjoyment I will get
out of that out of it already.

1028
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:19.760
So when's Titan Fall next week?
Week from to day. Yeah, it

1029
01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:23.400
seems like it's kind of a lot
they started. You know, they've they've

1030
01:05:23.400 --> 01:05:25.880
been running a bunch of TV ads, so they finally are at a point

1031
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:29.920
where they're like, let's maybe we
should let people know those things coming.

1032
01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:32.960
And that had even said like you
know, it said available on Xbox and

1033
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:36.599
PC. It's like at the at
the Microsoft bumper at the end, they

1034
01:05:36.639 --> 01:05:42.199
acknowledged that there was a PC version, and I guess but tacitly and acknowledged

1035
01:05:42.199 --> 01:05:48.639
there was a three sixty. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. Yeah,

1036
01:05:49.159 --> 01:05:54.559
that's out next week soon here we
are, Yeah, curious to see how

1037
01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:59.840
that all goes. Server launches.
Yeah, yeah, for more updates for

1038
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:03.199
Xbox and that same day, right, they moved it up. I think

1039
01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:08.719
the Firmare update actually might be hitting
today. Oh, it's been in beta

1040
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:11.840
for a while, so I've I've
been in the beta for it, which

1041
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:15.159
the only thing I noticed was that
they've redesigned the friends app, the friends

1042
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:19.159
list, the friends section the messages
and friends stuff, but not how like

1043
01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:25.159
pulling friends in and stuff. I
actually operate. Have not played any multiplayer

1044
01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:29.320
games on an Xbox during this beta, so I have no idea how the

1045
01:06:29.360 --> 01:06:32.960
party system has changed. Adding I
think I don't remember any other major features.

1046
01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:35.519
There's more stuff. They got a
list. Some people have been digging

1047
01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:40.599
around, like they added support for
some headset adapter that they're bringing out.

1048
01:06:41.199 --> 01:06:45.400
Yeah. I think someone found that. It's got like fifty hurts support for

1049
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:49.760
people that want to watch TV and
PAL regions ye five one optical or something

1050
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:53.719
like that. Yeah, so for
people that have those like headsets or whatever,

1051
01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:56.719
they hook up that way. I
guess. Is the Twitch stuff in

1052
01:06:56.800 --> 01:06:59.719
there? It's supposed to be in
that update? Is the beta that I

1053
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:01.760
provided with did not have the updated
Twitch app in there? Yeah? They

1054
01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:05.960
were supposed to get us the Twitch
app early and did not for streaming,

1055
01:07:06.599 --> 01:07:11.719
Yeah, yeah, never materialized.
Yeah, it sounds like like the thing

1056
01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:15.679
in there is like I wonder,
I wonder if it's gonna have camera support

1057
01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:21.360
for a headshot in addition to the
game. I don't know. Things got

1058
01:07:21.400 --> 01:07:27.559
weird HU with the PlayStation four?
Is it the room was the playroom stuff.

1059
01:07:27.599 --> 01:07:30.159
I don't mean like a full shot
of the connect camera being streamed out,

1060
01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:33.880
but I mean like your head in
the corner while you are playing game,

1061
01:07:33.960 --> 01:07:36.320
kind of like the PS four does
it, because I guess the pso

1062
01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:42.880
the Xbox One version. From what
I've heard, the chat and stuff shows

1063
01:07:42.880 --> 01:07:45.360
basically in a snap view, so
you're getting, you know, smaller version

1064
01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:47.559
of the picture, and you're getting
chat and some of its other stuff in

1065
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:53.320
snap But the stuff that they showed, the screenshots they put out and stuff

1066
01:07:53.320 --> 01:07:57.519
like that doesn't ever show what the
feed looks like. So I don't I

1067
01:07:57.559 --> 01:08:01.400
wonder if there's gonna be I like
putting out head shot. I think,

1068
01:08:01.519 --> 01:08:03.679
you know, you should be able
to see people talking. I feel like

1069
01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:08.679
just a video game with people talking
under it for a live stream, Yeah,

1070
01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:13.519
who would watch? That's garbage.
It's terrible. I've I've got shots

1071
01:08:13.519 --> 01:08:15.199
of it in my inbox if you
want me to pull it up. I

1072
01:08:15.239 --> 01:08:17.439
feel like I looked at those shots
and it didn't din't it. And it

1073
01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:20.319
seemed like I saw something that looked
like it was a camera shot in the

1074
01:08:20.359 --> 01:08:24.840
corner of the snap view, but
it didn't show like here's what it looks

1075
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:26.760
like when it's streaming out. I
don't know. I don't know what the

1076
01:08:26.800 --> 01:08:30.960
options are, like putting out head
shots with my AWP. Jeff, Hell

1077
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:36.000
yeah, it's not the AdvP anymore, is it? No? It is.

1078
01:08:36.479 --> 01:08:42.159
I thought they I thought they lost
all the I thought they lost all

1079
01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:46.439
the real gun names. Didn't they
thought they lost They didn't? It was

1080
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:49.479
what was? It was like no, because the mod version always had the

1081
01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:53.439
real gun names, and when they
started selling Counterstrike at retail they changed them.

1082
01:08:53.479 --> 01:08:56.039
So there's like a text file you
could edit to put the gun names

1083
01:08:56.079 --> 01:08:59.560
back to normal or something. But
with go and everything, I think that

1084
01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:03.560
you know they've got the rights.
I want to say that maybe there are

1085
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:09.039
that there might not be getting the
rights and no one cares, Like EA

1086
01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:13.119
at one point said it was like
last year. I think they said like,

1087
01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:15.439
yeah, we're not gonna we're dropping
this official license for this gun and

1088
01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:20.399
we're still going to use the gun. Yeah. I don't know. I

1089
01:09:20.439 --> 01:09:26.800
don't know what the legality of reproducing
guns second and calling it what it is?

1090
01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:29.560
Ohka, is that what it is? Yeah? Out Shot not infringe

1091
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:32.119
upon the right to put arms in
video games and call them by their real

1092
01:09:32.199 --> 01:09:35.560
name, Yes, the right,
the right to a well armed video game

1093
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:39.239
militia. Yeah, that's the other
thing is part of the Call of Duty

1094
01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:41.560
thing. That's part of that pack. And there are two new weapons in

1095
01:09:41.640 --> 01:09:44.560
it, and one of them like
the assault rifle. I don't know.

1096
01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:46.600
I can't speak to the sniper rifle
because sniper rifle, but it seemed like

1097
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:50.000
it was better, which seemed like
sod of kind of a dirty thing.

1098
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:59.960
I don't know whatever. Man Club
for Life just put dual clabs into every

1099
01:10:00.199 --> 01:10:06.279
game. Done, done, and
that's pretty much it for me. Uh,

1100
01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:11.239
you guys want to talk about some
news, Yeah, I've got a

1101
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:20.119
doozy for you. Oh, cell
Damage HD. I think you loaded an

1102
01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:28.359
old web page. Cell Damage is
coming out for PlayStation platforms this April with

1103
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:32.239
cell Damage HD. It's weird.
He's like Internet archive, like way back

1104
01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:40.439
archive dot org slash cell Damage plus
HD. Is that hell we got here?

1105
01:10:40.760 --> 01:10:43.880
Yeah? I don't know. I
feel like we were just talking about

1106
01:10:43.920 --> 01:10:48.479
cell damage and laughing about it in
a Cell Damage right, Cell Damage and

1107
01:10:48.600 --> 01:10:53.760
now here we are some company called
finish Line Games that seems to be founded

1108
01:10:53.800 --> 01:10:58.760
by someone who also founded Pseudo Interactive, the original developer of Cell Damage and

1109
01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:06.279
Fullado, and we are have announced
plans to release a downloadable like remake,

1110
01:11:06.479 --> 01:11:12.279
re reimagining. They've used some different
length revitalization. I think it's the term

1111
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:15.520
they use, which it's a nice
rejuvenation. Okay, we'll bring life back

1112
01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:18.880
to this product. It never had
it? No, no, never had

1113
01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:24.760
it. Where is the fervor where
like are they like a settle down there?

1114
01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:29.600
We're bringing it back. Stop with
the emails already. We heard you,

1115
01:11:29.680 --> 01:11:32.600
weird heard you, and we are
listening to feedback from the original Cell

1116
01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:39.079
Damage guys. We are proud to
announce Sell Damage hds coming out for Vita

1117
01:11:39.159 --> 01:11:42.520
PS three and PS four, cross
by enabled pay one price, get all

1118
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:45.880
three versions. We listened, We
listened. Car Combat is back. It

1119
01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:49.039
works so well. When they brought
Twisted Metal back and people liked that.

1120
01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:54.720
Yeah, they're one bananas. No, no banana, Sorry, that's a

1121
01:11:54.720 --> 01:12:00.439
Mario Kart thing. Cannot have bananas. They're ice beams, okay, slipping

1122
01:12:00.479 --> 01:12:03.159
and slide big hammers. I don't
remember much about Sell Damage at this point

1123
01:12:03.239 --> 01:12:06.319
other than it was kind of a
hilarious joke and not in the way that

1124
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:11.479
like you would want a funny cartoon
shaded car combat game to be it was

1125
01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:15.640
more like, man, why like
this? They were pushing that alongside the

1126
01:12:15.680 --> 01:12:18.640
original Xbox and trying to make a
big deal about it, and no,

1127
01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:25.239
it just no. This was the
foot race one that was Freaking Fast.

1128
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:28.399
No, that was it was.
That was a PS one game that was

1129
01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:32.000
almost the same thing. Freaking fast, freak end fast. No, freaking

1130
01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:36.159
like freaking like fucking fast. But
they can't say fucking the title. Okay,

1131
01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:39.119
okay, okay, you want me
to come out and say it,

1132
01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:44.000
motherfucker, you're running the game,
that endless Runner. It sounds like a

1133
01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:45.119
good That sounds like a good.
Yes, yeah, it's coming in.

1134
01:12:45.159 --> 01:12:48.680
We're bringing it to iOS Nantro.
We just have to sell enough copies to

1135
01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:51.159
sell Damage HD to raise the funds
for this new game we want to make.

1136
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:56.359
It's really our passion project. We
had this vision since we started making

1137
01:12:56.359 --> 01:13:00.680
it. More was Freaking Fast the
original name of that game, and it

1138
01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:08.159
changed. I thought it was like
wacky something wacky Racesaking Fast one. I

1139
01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:12.520
had it for the Dreamcast more running
that's Running Wild? Is that what it

1140
01:13:12.680 --> 01:13:15.359
was? No, Running Wild is
the name of the game that was originally

1141
01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:21.920
fucking called Freaking fast because my mind
is a death trap for bullshit. That's

1142
01:13:21.960 --> 01:13:29.319
what the Xbox should say when you've
updated. Motherfuck are you're running? Let's

1143
01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:33.640
play some goddamn games, asshole?
She's blue Shift did Running Wild? The

1144
01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:41.399
other game was called Wacky Rich Gallop
Like, did I think or he put

1145
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:45.960
it on our show? I just
published it. I know that foot frenzy

1146
01:13:47.279 --> 01:13:54.920
footy foot racing, Brad. Do
you even know what game we're talking about?

1147
01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:58.600
Nothing? Really, it's a cart
racer without carts. Yeah, yes,

1148
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:02.439
you're on foot running like Sonic r
or something. I'll send an email

1149
01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:08.479
to the son they know. No, Sorry, I can't let this go

1150
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:14.159
track and Field Wacky Foots. You
were like animals, animals like the title

1151
01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:15.960
might have had something to do with
the animals. Was there was there any

1152
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:18.520
kind of prehistoric aspect to it?
Wait? I'll look under similar games for

1153
01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:24.359
Running Wild. Maybe someone will have
filled this in Running Hot, Mad Dash

1154
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:28.760
Racing. There it is, okay, okay, HD coming come to you.

1155
01:14:29.279 --> 01:14:36.159
Look out that was a Crystal Dynamics
joint. Who geez, yeah,

1156
01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:42.920
sell Damage, HD? Sell Damage
what I never played no Cell Damage,

1157
01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:46.600
but I can tell you I do
want an HD version of toy commander.

1158
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:50.920
M hmm, who are you in? Look? Well, that's I've been

1159
01:14:50.960 --> 01:14:55.119
working on one as. All you
had to do is ask I get you

1160
01:14:55.159 --> 01:15:00.520
in my private beta. Got it
right here. Kickstarter starting, yes EA

1161
01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:03.800
published Cell Damage originally okay, uh, and it was I think it was

1162
01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:09.039
originally for Xbox and then eventually came
out for everything else under the name Sell

1163
01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:14.279
Damage Overdrive. It was like they're
like, okay, this version was exclusive,

1164
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:17.439
but now it's been on some time
and hey, hey sell Damage for

1165
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:24.520
the GameCube. Motherfucker's let's do it. I don't I don't understand how this

1166
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:27.560
stuff happens. Maybe you know,
maybe they just founded the studio. They're

1167
01:15:27.560 --> 01:15:29.920
the people that I mean, they're
people that originally made Sell Damage, so

1168
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:32.800
you would assume that they would have
some fondness for it. Somehow they found

1169
01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:36.439
the way to get the rights the
ips, and they were like maybe maybe

1170
01:15:36.479 --> 01:15:39.640
they're just like, we're starting a
new game studio. We need to do

1171
01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:42.479
something fast so we can have something
out there. We know how to do

1172
01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:44.600
this. I don't know. I
don't know. Give me a game with

1173
01:15:44.720 --> 01:15:47.039
no textures, Sell Damage, Okay, it's done. Who just uprights that?

1174
01:15:47.079 --> 01:15:49.520
Then? I don't know. Can
we license automodel LISTA from Capcom?

1175
01:15:49.600 --> 01:15:54.239
No, that's two all right?
Fuck, well give me something I could

1176
01:15:54.239 --> 01:15:58.600
just turn the resolution up on,
got it? Yeah? I don't know.

1177
01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:01.720
I think games out terrible, okay, sure, yeah it was like,

1178
01:16:02.479 --> 01:16:05.319
yeah, some people, I think
I have a fun there's a guy

1179
01:16:05.319 --> 01:16:09.039
out there with a fun memory for
self damage. Yeah, they're probably working

1180
01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:12.159
on it. But good on them. You know, if that's something they

1181
01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:15.680
believe in and they're doing it,
then then great for them. I just

1182
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:18.199
it's a weird pull. I don't
understand. Yeah, like, why would

1183
01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:25.920
why would that happen? Why would
that happen? AzaC HD, Yeah totally.

1184
01:16:26.119 --> 01:16:32.479
There's like night Nightcaster. I'm just
making shit up now, HD night

1185
01:16:32.560 --> 01:16:40.039
Caster. That's real, right,
no cliche? H yes, night Caster,

1186
01:16:40.399 --> 01:16:43.359
Nightcaster, Colon Defeat the Darkness.
I bet you'd have a hard time

1187
01:16:43.439 --> 01:16:45.640
coming up with a name at this
point that we're in a video game.

1188
01:16:45.479 --> 01:16:48.680
Oh you haven't. You know,
there's a lot of stuff I could say

1189
01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:51.600
that I can't say I am polite
company. That would not be the title

1190
01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:57.000
of a video game. Are you
sure? I'm very sure. Luckily you're

1191
01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:00.279
not among polite companies, So lay
it on us. Now it's no,

1192
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:06.560
I can't. I won't have it. Uh, that Xbox one update is

1193
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:11.479
out, so okay, So when
you go to turn on your Xbox with

1194
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:14.600
your voice and doesn't work, that's
why. Yeah, they really should.

1195
01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:16.000
Well, not that I I don't
know about anybody else or nothing, I

1196
01:17:16.039 --> 01:17:18.880
ever actually turn it on with my
voice, but there should be some kind

1197
01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:21.680
of notification. I don't. I
don't understand what you guys are saying.

1198
01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:25.600
What do you mean it will connect
us? So if it is, if

1199
01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:28.479
it has taken a firm more update
and it's gonna like apply that update.

1200
01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:30.760
When I turn it back on,
it fully powers down and will not power

1201
01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:35.520
on with voice, which they again, this was one of those things prior

1202
01:17:35.560 --> 01:17:38.600
to launch they said like, oh
yeah, it's gonna be able to do

1203
01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:41.600
firm more updates and you're not even
gonna lose your game state. Right,

1204
01:17:41.800 --> 01:17:44.319
that's how great this is. And
we're like, wow, that sounds really

1205
01:17:44.319 --> 01:17:45.920
awesome. It doesn't even do anything
close to that, right, you still

1206
01:17:46.000 --> 01:17:49.199
have to manually all it pushed the
updates. All it does. All it'll

1207
01:17:49.239 --> 01:17:53.600
do is download the update file while
it's asleep, and then you have to

1208
01:17:53.680 --> 01:17:56.920
manually update. It will even download
game patches for most games automatically. For

1209
01:17:57.000 --> 01:17:59.880
me really, for like disc based
games, I have like five games in

1210
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:01.880
Q that's say, like this game
is not fully installed. You need to

1211
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:04.199
put the disk in if you want
us to download this patch. That's weird,

1212
01:18:04.239 --> 01:18:06.079
which doesn't make any sense to me. I have I have had a

1213
01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:10.760
pull game patches like it downloaded.
That ridiculous. What was that Dead Rising

1214
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:13.359
patch like eleven gig or something in
saying, so I think it might be

1215
01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:17.760
pulling patches for digital games? Oh
really not what retail? Yeah I have

1216
01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:21.319
I have Dead Rising digitalis yeah,
yeah, like I've never seen Dead Rising

1217
01:18:21.359 --> 01:18:25.840
show, but since they rolled out
that new queue, it's like five It's

1218
01:18:25.880 --> 01:18:29.520
like Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, Call
of Duty, and three other Right,

1219
01:18:29.600 --> 01:18:31.439
it was disc stuff for me that
it hadn't fully updated. Yeah, and

1220
01:18:31.520 --> 01:18:33.680
it wanted me to put the disc
in, right, so instead I deleted

1221
01:18:33.720 --> 01:18:38.880
the game. That's im I almost
did that too. It's time hey hey

1222
01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:41.680
buddy, hey bra but yeah,
the Shaka it's time to update. But

1223
01:18:41.800 --> 01:18:44.439
yeah, the whole the whole point
is like the the Xbox is dust,

1224
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:49.119
Xbox on Command is so unreliable to
begin with that you don't know if it's

1225
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:51.880
just not picking it up or if
there's an update waiting. I tried twice

1226
01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:56.239
and then then I go to manually
turn it on, but it is.

1227
01:18:56.399 --> 01:18:59.760
It is that. Actually, the
Xbox on command has been pretty reliable.

1228
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:01.760
It is still it is the only
voice thing that I think I still use.

1229
01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:05.439
Really, yeah, I use it
like twice. That's the only one.

1230
01:19:05.520 --> 01:19:09.520
The all the navigation stuff that works
fine for me, but that one

1231
01:19:09.640 --> 01:19:12.680
is super spotty. I had I
had a friend come over. We're gonna

1232
01:19:12.680 --> 01:19:15.439
watch blue rays like friends do all
right, blue ray come over, watch

1233
01:19:15.520 --> 01:19:20.560
some blue ray ray disc. It
was doctor No all right, and it

1234
01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:25.600
was okay, you had the nice
little fifty years of James Bond and you

1235
01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:30.359
download the yeah. Yeah. But
I started on the PS four and put

1236
01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:32.560
it. I was like, okay, you know blue rays they go on

1237
01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:35.279
to PlayStation, they go on to
Sony device. Yeah, okay, yeah

1238
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:41.399
uh and it just hung there.
It's just weird. Yeah, like little

1239
01:19:41.439 --> 01:19:44.119
spinning thing was in one black and
then the spinning thing was on screen.

1240
01:19:44.439 --> 01:19:46.279
And we don't know that I've watched
a movie on either device. I had

1241
01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:49.279
never put a disc in that machine. So I was like, it is

1242
01:19:49.479 --> 01:19:55.920
my PlayStation four broken and it's my
friend's nice blue ray collection that he spent

1243
01:19:56.000 --> 01:19:58.560
like one hundred bucks on. So
I was like slowly took the disc out

1244
01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:01.600
after what I had to yank the
power out. The back thing was just

1245
01:20:01.680 --> 01:20:06.319
hard locked. Cool. Ejected it
and then put it in the Xbox one.

1246
01:20:08.399 --> 01:20:11.520
And then that gets funny going into
my receiver because the resolutions change,

1247
01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:14.439
like when it goes or that,
you know, it seems to reset the

1248
01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:19.119
h and my connection. It's a
resolution thing or it's enabling the HDCP on

1249
01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:25.439
it or whatever. But my screen
goes black and then I can't see it

1250
01:20:25.560 --> 01:20:29.359
doesn't pick it up, but it
doesn't handshake again. Awesome. So I

1251
01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:38.039
stuck there saying Xbox off, yes, yeah, and then that worked.

1252
01:20:38.600 --> 01:20:41.119
I turned off. Yeah. I
shut mine off many times with the TV

1253
01:20:41.199 --> 01:20:44.319
turn off. Yeah. Well,
I have that problem where sometimes the screen

1254
01:20:44.399 --> 01:20:46.560
just goes black and it is still
responding to you know, like audio is

1255
01:20:46.560 --> 01:20:49.680
still coming out, and you know, I can move around aid some dashboard

1256
01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:53.840
somewhere, but when I pop out
of a game, it has just gone

1257
01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:56.279
completely black, and I have to
turn it off that way and then unplug

1258
01:20:56.359 --> 01:21:00.159
it because when you power back up
it's still a black streen. Oh this

1259
01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:02.399
it's pretty awesome. This came back. But then yeah, I like,

1260
01:21:02.439 --> 01:21:06.119
unplug the h mine, get the
blue ray what you know what worked the

1261
01:21:06.159 --> 01:21:11.399
PLS three weird? Yeah yeah yeah. P S three's got that nice bluetooth

1262
01:21:11.439 --> 01:21:15.039
media remote. It's got fully functional
blue ray player. That's that's what I

1263
01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:18.960
would use, works too. Yeah, bumm me out being like, yeah

1264
01:21:19.079 --> 01:21:20.920
that is weird. It's kind of
a bummer. You know what, it

1265
01:21:20.960 --> 01:21:24.840
actually did watch one watching on the
Xbox Winning for you know what is a

1266
01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:30.239
competent mature video game console PlayStation three. It's mature, it's of age.

1267
01:21:30.840 --> 01:21:33.199
Sure, yeah, I mean it's
spent some time in that digital locker and

1268
01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:38.359
now it really plays those blue rays
back really well, like a motherfucker on

1269
01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:45.399
mine last night. Nice? Yeah, what was the DVD True Romance?

1270
01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:51.000
Okay? Sure, our our IVY
receivers just really unreliable everything studio sources.

1271
01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:55.640
So I'm this Devil's well but yeah, that's kind of messed up. I

1272
01:21:55.680 --> 01:21:58.239
have to I feel like I've said
this before, I have turned my ship

1273
01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:01.039
on, so I have to turn
my receiver off and back on to get

1274
01:22:01.079 --> 01:22:03.560
the audio to work, or turn
it all on in a very specific order.

1275
01:22:03.880 --> 01:22:08.319
It's just it's fucking sucks. It
sucks. Well, So I'm new.

1276
01:22:08.399 --> 01:22:10.840
I'm new to having a receiver that
takes video in. I just had

1277
01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:13.920
an old stereo receiver up until like
three months ago. I got that new

1278
01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:17.760
Sony and roughly fifty percent of the
time that I changed to any console or

1279
01:22:17.800 --> 01:22:21.640
Apple TV or PC or whatever is
hook into that thing. I've got a

1280
01:22:21.680 --> 01:22:27.119
bunch of flickering pixels all over the
screen. Cool, just kind of but

1281
01:22:27.159 --> 01:22:29.399
it's not as sporadic or I mean, it's not as widespread as that.

1282
01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:31.560
It's pretty sporadic, just like,
yeah, they're sort of popping in.

1283
01:22:31.600 --> 01:22:34.359
They're more like fireflies. They're they're
all over the place, but not like

1284
01:22:34.439 --> 01:22:38.439
covering the screen. All I have
to do is change another input and back

1285
01:22:38.439 --> 01:22:41.680
and it goes away. So I'm
sitting here going like, do I need

1286
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:44.079
a rmy this thing? Is it
busted? Or is it just a cork

1287
01:22:44.119 --> 01:22:47.079
of this model? Right? It's
causing this happen. Okay, but it

1288
01:22:47.119 --> 01:22:50.199
sounds like you guys have all kinds
of problems with your HM. I can't

1289
01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:53.880
tell if it's a part or the
cable, right, that's the thing I

1290
01:22:53.920 --> 01:22:57.359
don't either or the just the bad
handshake or an old receiver. I don't

1291
01:22:57.359 --> 01:22:59.760
know. We put a man in
the moon. I can part it everything

1292
01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:03.279
SDI smart House. Yeah, it's
the way to go. Yeah, those

1293
01:23:03.279 --> 01:23:08.920
black magic boxes one like bucks whatever
whatever happened to video over either it HD

1294
01:23:09.000 --> 01:23:12.239
based T. I was excited about
that. That sounded awesome. They don't

1295
01:23:12.279 --> 01:23:16.359
want you that Comcast doesn't want you. That's right, maybe not probably don't.

1296
01:23:17.560 --> 01:23:24.359
Uh Batman, Yes, that's it, Batman. Do you hear Drew's

1297
01:23:24.359 --> 01:23:29.359
Batman? He just and here's Batman. Hey, guys, got a new

1298
01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:33.279
trailer out. I'm Batman stuff getting
stuck him my ride. It's a cool

1299
01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:36.760
badmobile. It's the alien Bastards.
You're gonna pay for It's a it's a

1300
01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:41.239
pretty neat looking batmobile. It is. It looks like it looks kind of

1301
01:23:41.319 --> 01:23:46.359
like a hybrid of the the Batman
begins Batmobile and the tumbler. Yes,

1302
01:23:46.760 --> 01:23:49.920
and I don't know, and like
open wheel racing. This maybe the Michael

1303
01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:54.760
Keaton one. I didn't see it
either. Batman Arkham Night. So this

1304
01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:57.800
is a reboot? What kind of
night? This is the sequel? This

1305
01:23:57.920 --> 01:24:00.600
is rock Steady Studio is returning to
the series. It made famous. Hey

1306
01:24:00.680 --> 01:24:06.760
guess what they never left? Okay, wait, what was Arkham City?

1307
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:12.840
Okay it was Arkham Asylum, Yeah, arkhamas City city and then spoiler,

1308
01:24:13.239 --> 01:24:15.359
yeah, somebody's dead at the Arkhams
at the end of Arkham City. Okay,

1309
01:24:15.479 --> 01:24:18.199
and now this picks up about a
year later. What wasn't their origins?

1310
01:24:18.439 --> 01:24:20.600
Yes, there's origin that came out
a few months ago. It was

1311
01:24:20.680 --> 01:24:25.039
not good. It's a different studio. Okay, it's different company, different

1312
01:24:25.079 --> 01:24:28.640
quality of product. It's the same
franchise, yes, more or less.

1313
01:24:28.680 --> 01:24:32.119
It was pre Orangines. It was
a prequel prequel to Arkham Oranges. Get

1314
01:24:32.159 --> 01:24:35.479
it one squeeze him. Yeah.
No, it's a really slim window when

1315
01:24:35.479 --> 01:24:39.880
those those oranges are great. You
want to see oranges for about four hours,

1316
01:24:40.000 --> 01:24:44.880
never from concentrate. So where are
we telling a story now? It's

1317
01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:49.840
so it's Arkham at night. Oh
okay, finely, it's it's set in

1318
01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:55.399
Gotham City. Oh wow. It
is a year after Arkham Arkham City ended.

1319
01:24:55.920 --> 01:24:59.680
It is the balance of power has
shifted. I'm practically quoting the press

1320
01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:01.880
release here, okay, because I
when I'm watching that trailer made me feel

1321
01:25:01.880 --> 01:25:04.399
like we're telling the origin story.
It was like, you know, the

1322
01:25:04.520 --> 01:25:09.520
vo is all a letter like from
Batman's dad, right, like his last

1323
01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:12.039
will and testament, Like I'm leaving
all you, I'm leaving this money to

1324
01:25:12.119 --> 01:25:16.159
you and like basically become Batman because
you have all this money, do good

1325
01:25:16.199 --> 01:25:20.239
in the city and don't let people
down. You're a good kids. I'm

1326
01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:23.800
sorry. A couple of details I
just mentioned I think actually came from the

1327
01:25:23.960 --> 01:25:27.479
game and four article. I apologize. Well, I'm glad you sourced your

1328
01:25:28.239 --> 01:25:30.520
Yeah, it's on their cover.
They got a bunch stuff out there.

1329
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:33.199
They have apparently a very detailed article. But the stuff that they did reveal

1330
01:25:33.439 --> 01:25:39.640
straight from water is that driving around
in the city. Yeah, you can

1331
01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:43.000
drive deal the batmanbile. So it
seems like they're sticking with the open world.

1332
01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:45.840
I don't. I wonder what they're
going to have to do to the

1333
01:25:45.920 --> 01:25:47.720
city to make that work, because
if you just dropped a batmobile in their

1334
01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:50.680
existing city, I think that'd be
real stupid. The game with former article

1335
01:25:50.960 --> 01:25:57.279
addresses that very specifically. Okay,
well, and I guess it's addressed much

1336
01:25:57.279 --> 01:25:59.920
of other gameplay stuff. Yeah,
so this is only coming to PS four

1337
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:03.319
Xbox One, NPC. It is
not an old video game? Is that

1338
01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:08.119
new video game? Kind of the
only exciting thing I've heard about it so

1339
01:26:08.199 --> 01:26:13.720
far twenty seventeen. No, it's
out this year, so it'll be a

1340
01:26:13.760 --> 01:26:17.600
mess now, Yeah, rock that. They are also building this as rock

1341
01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:24.640
Steady Studios conclusion to the series,
meaning it is their conclusion to the series,

1342
01:26:24.720 --> 01:26:30.039
but maybe not necessarily the The press
release says the conclusion of the Arkham

1343
01:26:30.119 --> 01:26:33.840
story. Specific The quote I pulled
out of the press release is rock Steady.

1344
01:26:33.840 --> 01:26:40.079
It is rock Steady Studios conclusion to
the series. Hang on in quotes.

1345
01:26:40.920 --> 01:26:43.680
I think they're saying that. Maybe
they said somewhere else later on the

1346
01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:45.640
press base. I didn't read the
rest of it because it's a press like.

1347
01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:47.560
Hearing that that, I feel like
there are two ways I can take

1348
01:26:47.600 --> 01:26:50.199
that. One is we really need
to put rock Steadies name in front of

1349
01:26:50.239 --> 01:26:54.960
this to remind people that this is
the rock Steady Batman, or like you're

1350
01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:59.079
kind of like you're implying that,
like this might be rock Steadies last maybe

1351
01:26:59.159 --> 01:27:02.000
they'll move on to something else.
But it says it's it says in the

1352
01:27:02.079 --> 01:27:06.319
explosive finale to the Arkham series,
Okay, so so this should be this

1353
01:27:06.359 --> 01:27:10.560
should be the last Arkham game,
but that kind of doesn't mean. Yeah.

1354
01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:13.840
Also, it just means that they'll
finally start over with a new style

1355
01:27:13.880 --> 01:27:16.800
of Batman and right, and we'll
just drop Arkham from the title and keep

1356
01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:20.039
going and keep going with it.
Who knows. Uh, Yeah, I

1357
01:27:20.039 --> 01:27:26.680
don't know. That's potentially super interesting. I thought Origins was not. It's

1358
01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:31.560
not great, not my thing,
and not necessarily because Origins did it poorly,

1359
01:27:31.760 --> 01:27:35.640
but because Origins did it again.
So I don't think it did it

1360
01:27:35.720 --> 01:27:39.319
as well from what I played of
it. Yeah, but I'm saying I

1361
01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:41.720
don't think they did it poorly.
I mean it's not it was not.

1362
01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:44.279
It was not as great as it's
not a stuff I guess, but you

1363
01:27:44.279 --> 01:27:47.039
know, it's just it's just the
well worn a well worn concept. At

1364
01:27:47.039 --> 01:27:51.159
this point, a fourth Batman game
using these concepts, even moving it to

1365
01:27:51.319 --> 01:27:58.920
new console. Mmmmm maybe maybe if
they do something different. Sure you can

1366
01:27:59.039 --> 01:28:01.439
drive it does not there you go
boom, yeah, drive you drive?

1367
01:28:02.159 --> 01:28:04.359
Am I gonna get out of the
car and take mission? Like forget the

1368
01:28:04.399 --> 01:28:09.079
part where the traversal is kind of
awesome and floating around the city is rad

1369
01:28:09.680 --> 01:28:12.600
now you can drive a car.
I don't know. That doesn't well,

1370
01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:16.239
it doesn't immediately strike me as like, oh awesome. If the drop Batmobile's

1371
01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:19.119
got a bunch of cool gadgets in
it that could make it worthwhile. Maybe

1372
01:28:19.479 --> 01:28:21.920
it does kind of seem like a
little step back right, like I could

1373
01:28:23.039 --> 01:28:27.159
fly before. Yeah, kind of
it can fly. The sounds like the

1374
01:28:27.359 --> 01:28:30.239
Game in Former story implies there's some
improvements to that stuff. It's like getting

1375
01:28:30.239 --> 01:28:31.520
in a car in Saint Row four, Like why would you do it unless

1376
01:28:31.520 --> 01:28:34.560
the mission specifically forces you to do
it, like you just have the options

1377
01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:39.159
you have at your disposal or so
much more fun. Please have eight guns

1378
01:28:39.239 --> 01:28:42.319
now and they're just gonna shoot you
down if you try to fly. That

1379
01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:45.359
sounds like a bummers. It's like, drive into an area and take this

1380
01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:49.479
mission to take up the AA guns
and then you can fight that. Yeah,

1381
01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:54.199
Batman, it's weird. I don't
know the climactic event that you were

1382
01:28:54.279 --> 01:28:58.279
waiting for in that series took place
at the end of the last game,

1383
01:28:59.199 --> 01:29:02.279
or did it. I guess yeah. Anyway, whatever, They've got their

1384
01:29:02.319 --> 01:29:06.359
story and there are there are Batman
has always had a billion villains, you

1385
01:29:06.439 --> 01:29:11.119
know, I know like there's I
don't like if you're if you're saying like,

1386
01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:13.560
oh, it's got to be locked
into Batman versus Joker for all time

1387
01:29:13.640 --> 01:29:15.079
like that, I don't want that. It's more that it's more that they

1388
01:29:15.079 --> 01:29:18.279
already did that and it's over and
everything else is just gonna be feel like

1389
01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:20.479
an afterthought coda. I don't know. They're like I said, there are

1390
01:29:20.560 --> 01:29:24.319
a billion villains. It depends on
how they build them up. There's plenty

1391
01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:29.000
of reasons to to make that stuff
work. Maybe, No, what are

1392
01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:35.159
the games again? There's that Arkansylums
Batman Sunsoft did for the Nes, There's

1393
01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:42.399
Batman for the Genesis. There's the
Batman looking boss in Revenge of Shinobi.

1394
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:46.720
Okay. There's the Spider Man game
where you take the pictures to get more

1395
01:29:46.760 --> 01:29:50.960
web fluid for the Genesis. That
count. No, Spider Man's in it,

1396
01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:55.439
okay, he's cool. Origins was
the portable one? Is that the

1397
01:29:55.520 --> 01:29:59.159
veto one? No, that's black
Gate, which is coming to PEC.

1398
01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:01.680
Trying to think if I missed one. I didn't just not play Origins.

1399
01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:04.319
You just didn't play Origins. Okay, I gave you a steam code for

1400
01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:09.079
or Liver. I don't remember.
I got one with my video card and

1401
01:30:09.119 --> 01:30:15.640
I played. MM. Persona five
is coming to North America. I knew

1402
01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:19.399
that already. I'm on the mailing
list. Yeah, I'm the Persona mailing

1403
01:30:19.520 --> 01:30:28.680
date No. Twenty fifteen. Get
your p s three's ready. Yeah,

1404
01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:31.560
you better get in there, get
these video sessions. Yeah. I mean

1405
01:30:31.640 --> 01:30:35.159
that script has been sitting on your
desk months now. I've been going back

1406
01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:40.239
and forth with changes. Fair enough, all of those Persona games are in

1407
01:30:40.319 --> 01:30:44.560
fact coming to the US. Uh. Twenty fifteen will also see the release

1408
01:30:44.600 --> 01:30:48.079
of Dancing All Night, the rhythm
game, and then in fallow twenty fourteen,

1409
01:30:48.079 --> 01:30:51.359
we'll see Ultimax, which is the
sequel to the fighting game, and

1410
01:30:53.039 --> 01:30:59.680
Persona Q, which is the Entry
and Odyssey style Persona game coming for three

1411
01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:02.960
D. Which one is Dancing All
Night that is the rhythm game for Vita.

1412
01:31:04.399 --> 01:31:15.920
Which one is Persona five that is
the sequel to one of America's greatest

1413
01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:18.840
video games. They hated in Japan. Every everyone or everyone else doesn't play

1414
01:31:18.840 --> 01:31:21.279
I don't know, pon it for
some reason just only works in America.

1415
01:31:23.119 --> 01:31:26.600
Yeah, in this specific location.
May new Persona game comes out. In

1416
01:31:26.840 --> 01:31:30.319
California, they have to release it
on a weekend. It's true. Yeah.

1417
01:31:30.279 --> 01:31:32.880
Otherwise they just they don't go to
work and nothing ever happens. So

1418
01:31:33.039 --> 01:31:35.760
this is the one where it's like
one of those one of the empathy games

1419
01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:41.000
that you play as Chia. It's
been a tough last ten years. She's

1420
01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:44.279
gotta got a hot dog cart.
Yes, yeah, it's all black and

1421
01:31:44.319 --> 01:31:47.960
white. So mostly black and white. Cha please, You just gotta make

1422
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:53.479
a living, take your daughter to
school, and it's just hard. Things

1423
01:31:53.560 --> 01:31:59.239
got hard after Charlie left. Yeah, fucking asshole. It gets on a

1424
01:31:59.319 --> 01:32:03.439
train and leaves. You don't don't
you care about my daughter? Your daughter

1425
01:32:06.319 --> 01:32:12.720
looking behind you don't look back to
Charlie. Just just buy in a Buh.

1426
01:32:15.239 --> 01:32:17.840
You gotta reunite, you gotta find
you know, your old buddies.

1427
01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:26.000
Just get bent. Yeah, because
I'm in prison, right, help you

1428
01:32:26.119 --> 01:32:29.279
gotta break me out, dog,
I'm here for life. It's like I

1429
01:32:29.319 --> 01:32:33.119
got nothing to live for otherwise,
just here knitting in people with chairs.

1430
01:32:36.399 --> 01:32:43.920
Uh yeah, Person of five is
they haven't presumably a role playing game details

1431
01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:45.199
right like on the now they put
out that trailer. I think that's that's

1432
01:32:45.279 --> 01:32:48.920
pretty much all that they've ever shackled
to a chair. Yeah, what does

1433
01:32:48.960 --> 01:32:51.439
it mean? Just pick up the
chair and just walk away. It's not

1434
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:56.079
really you can think about it.
It's not heavy. You're like, there's

1435
01:32:56.119 --> 01:32:59.159
like a ball and there's a shackles. There's like a ball and chain on

1436
01:32:59.199 --> 01:33:00.319
it. It seemed like we real
I used to get free from whatever set

1437
01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:03.920
up they had placed in that trailer. But now if you're hanging upside down

1438
01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:11.319
from a telephone, I'm a real
Harry Houdini. That's exciting. Yeah,

1439
01:33:11.560 --> 01:33:13.960
they should bring that stuff over.
It seemed pretty natural that they're going to

1440
01:33:14.000 --> 01:33:15.439
It's cool they're bringing all of it
over. That's not they're not just picking

1441
01:33:15.479 --> 01:33:21.199
and choosing. Who is So is
the parent company of Atlas bringing that over?

1442
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:25.760
You mean Sega? Is it Sega
bringing that over? Bald? I

1443
01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:31.119
mean Atlas is still kind of a
separate entity, but it sounds like Sega's.

1444
01:33:31.239 --> 01:33:34.880
Yeah, they still have their localization
team, at least the Atlas people.

1445
01:33:35.039 --> 01:33:39.159
I have not heard of those people
getting I've not heard of cuts happening

1446
01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:43.680
to any of those people. I
don't really stay too up on that stuff,

1447
01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:47.319
but I assume we would know Son
because anytime anything happens with a persona

1448
01:33:47.359 --> 01:33:50.000
a bunch of people right into tell
me about it, and I go,

1449
01:33:50.199 --> 01:33:53.960
yeah, no, I see it
too. I'm not I'm good, thank

1450
01:33:54.039 --> 01:34:02.640
you, zine. I'm here.
Fucking Twitch played Pokemon. They finished it

1451
01:34:03.600 --> 01:34:06.920
sixteen days, seven hours, forty
five minutes. Twitch got behind this in

1452
01:34:08.039 --> 01:34:12.039
kind of a weird way, like
they put out a press release after it

1453
01:34:12.159 --> 01:34:15.880
was finished with a bunch of stats
because they were like, look at how

1454
01:34:15.920 --> 01:34:20.039
awesome this is. We are the
best. Our chat was fucked across the

1455
01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:26.000
entire site for like a couple of
weeks. Nobody else do this. No,

1456
01:34:26.439 --> 01:34:29.600
but nobody else do this, except
now everyone's doing this. They put

1457
01:34:29.640 --> 01:34:38.439
out some stats. One point one
million accounts entered chat commands and there were

1458
01:34:38.560 --> 01:34:45.439
nine million total uniques over the course
of the run. Nine million people theoretically

1459
01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:48.399
caught some part of that. Who
knows how many of those people were and

1460
01:34:48.439 --> 01:34:54.199
accounts were individuals running chat scripts and
bought NEETs and all sorts of other stuff

1461
01:34:54.239 --> 01:34:57.319
to try to, you know,
send more commands than they would normally.

1462
01:34:59.439 --> 01:35:01.159
The viewer count will fluctuate depending on
the time of the day. It seemed

1463
01:35:01.159 --> 01:35:04.000
like at night things would get done. When it got down to about forty

1464
01:35:04.039 --> 01:35:09.159
thousand people that's the magic number as
opposed to like one hundred and twenty.

1465
01:35:09.159 --> 01:35:11.479
I think it might have been the
peak, but it was interesting to see

1466
01:35:11.479 --> 01:35:13.920
them touting it and then saying like
this is the power of the Twitch platform,

1467
01:35:13.960 --> 01:35:16.399
the interactivity and blah blah blah and
all this other sort of stuff,

1468
01:35:16.439 --> 01:35:19.399
and and you know, like I
like, I thought they have started up

1469
01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:24.199
and they're doing another Pokemon game.
The channel that was running. It's just

1470
01:35:24.279 --> 01:35:28.680
like, here's another there's Pokemon Crystal. I don't know, uh, which

1471
01:35:28.720 --> 01:35:30.760
is a bummer. Like I wish
that this could have been a one off,

1472
01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:31.920
special thing that was like, hey, we guys, we did it,

1473
01:35:32.800 --> 01:35:34.800
and maybe you know, fewer people
care about it. I don't.

1474
01:35:34.800 --> 01:35:39.359
I don't know. I haven't heard
anyone talking about the new Well there were

1475
01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:42.880
lads on that thing, right,
Oh yeah, okay, it's probably a

1476
01:35:42.920 --> 01:35:45.720
partner channel. The guy it's probably
making some kind of money if they're not

1477
01:35:45.800 --> 01:35:48.960
Twitch certainly. So yeah, and
they had to, you know, they

1478
01:35:49.000 --> 01:35:50.920
had to fix chat a couple of
times. Like it was a good stress

1479
01:35:51.000 --> 01:35:56.039
test for their system because you know, normally they'll run, you know,

1480
01:35:56.239 --> 01:35:59.359
they run all sorts of events that
pull in those numbers, like reviewers.

1481
01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:03.239
You know, the big legal legends
championships and shit like that, but chat

1482
01:36:03.319 --> 01:36:06.800
doesn't get hit that hard. So
it was a real strain, or it

1483
01:36:06.840 --> 01:36:13.760
seemed like it was a real strain
on twitch Chat, so they probably had

1484
01:36:13.800 --> 01:36:15.119
to make that more robust just to
make it work. It's all based on

1485
01:36:15.159 --> 01:36:18.159
IRC all, there's all Their whole
back end is you actually log into twitch

1486
01:36:18.239 --> 01:36:23.640
chat with an IRAC client if you
want. Can you change the channels?

1487
01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:27.760
It's no, it's it's weird.
The way they have it built is really

1488
01:36:27.960 --> 01:36:31.600
strange. So yes, but you
have to connect to a different server per

1489
01:36:31.760 --> 01:36:34.800
channel or something. It's a weird. Can you can you make Twitch split?

1490
01:36:35.880 --> 01:36:39.800
No, you cannot ride in on
a split and get ops can't take

1491
01:36:39.880 --> 01:36:43.680
over Twitch place. Pokemon Yeah yet
set up an egg drop in there?

1492
01:36:43.840 --> 01:36:50.039
Yeah fuck DCC Yeah, yes,
Pokemon. So that's how they were distributing

1493
01:36:50.039 --> 01:36:56.680
the ROM and then XDCC send one. Uh, the Tony Hawk game is

1494
01:36:56.680 --> 01:37:00.159
mobile? Moving on? Yeah,
I'm making new two Tony Hawk game,

1495
01:37:00.159 --> 01:37:02.720
but it's for phones. Maybe it'll
be good. I don't know. They're

1496
01:37:02.720 --> 01:37:06.199
doing mo cap for it, so
clearly they're trying to do something. Ride

1497
01:37:06.239 --> 01:37:11.640
your phone. Yeah, probably you
probably ride the phone. Maybe you know,

1498
01:37:11.920 --> 01:37:14.720
that could still be cool, but
you know it's I was hoping for

1499
01:37:15.720 --> 01:37:21.000
something, a big crazy investment in
console. Tony Hawk two, farfick newgan

1500
01:37:21.199 --> 01:37:27.560
Ali Ali one is coming to the
PC. Yeah, yeah, we can

1501
01:37:27.680 --> 01:37:31.560
capture it. Hell yeah, a
platform that people actually own. Hooray.

1502
01:37:32.720 --> 01:37:35.560
It's the good thing about this indie
push for Vita games is that, yeah,

1503
01:37:35.600 --> 01:37:41.600
they'll eventually all come to the PC
and just then we can finally show

1504
01:37:41.640 --> 01:37:45.600
the world. Yeah, Luke Forrouser's
speaking of those games out on the eighteenth

1505
01:37:45.760 --> 01:37:49.600
for PCPs three and Vita finally.
Yeah, it's a fun game. I

1506
01:37:49.640 --> 01:37:56.479
played that waiting forever for that game. Yeah yeah, Psyched it's two weeks

1507
01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:59.920
away. Yeah it is, isn't
it? Yeah? All right, here's

1508
01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:04.479
here's my favorite quote of recent memory. Okay, just think of paying ninety

1509
01:38:04.560 --> 01:38:11.560
nine cents just to get Mario to
jump a little higher. That's from a

1510
01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:16.000
professional jackass. Seth Fisher, who
was a shareholder in Nintendo as a part

1511
01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:20.239
as a part of Oasis Management,
which is a Hong Kong based investment firm

1512
01:38:20.319 --> 01:38:26.079
that owns shares in Nintendo, wrote
an open letter to Iwada and of course

1513
01:38:26.159 --> 01:38:30.039
publish it where he said, like
Nintendo needs to needs to get on phones,

1514
01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:36.079
and that was the idea, idea, just think to get Mario to

1515
01:38:36.119 --> 01:38:41.039
jump a little higher, just a
little higher. As a holder of what

1516
01:38:41.159 --> 01:38:45.239
is arguably the largest library of casual
games, Nintendo was well placed to make

1517
01:38:45.279 --> 01:38:51.439
an immediate entry into mobile again understanding
nothing about mobile games or Nintendo's early catalyst.

1518
01:38:53.960 --> 01:38:57.239
No, that's right, he's an
idea, said he didn't know it.

1519
01:38:57.319 --> 01:39:01.119
Part of it was a good ideas. Man. Look, you could

1520
01:39:01.239 --> 01:39:05.479
put Nintendo's early stuff on phones.
It would probably play okay. But to

1521
01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:10.199
think that that would be a good
experience, that would be that would worthy

1522
01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:14.920
of the Nintendo Seal of Quality.
Yeah, is a different fucking story.

1523
01:39:15.000 --> 01:39:16.239
Well that's why I need to just
pay a little more so I can jump

1524
01:39:16.239 --> 01:39:19.600
a little higher. Put so you're
right, Yeah, I don't know what

1525
01:39:19.680 --> 01:39:24.720
the fuck I was thinking. Prince
money. Yeah, fuck man, I

1526
01:39:24.840 --> 01:39:30.000
could put my plunger in my freezer
and then it would be cold. I'm

1527
01:39:30.039 --> 01:39:33.479
an ideas guy. That's pretty good. Yeah, cold plunger. That makes

1528
01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:36.720
a lot of sense. What if
I put bread in a Suvie machine?

1529
01:39:38.119 --> 01:39:43.159
Would it never be toast? Just
be warm bread? Would that work?

1530
01:39:44.199 --> 01:39:46.000
Would that be like a good way
to return to like fresh bread, like

1531
01:39:46.359 --> 01:39:49.640
nice oven warm. What would happen, what would happen, What would happen?

1532
01:39:49.680 --> 01:39:55.279
What would happen? I'm an ideas
guy, all right, dough that

1533
01:39:55.399 --> 01:40:00.359
I want to see? Yeah,
that I want to see. An intend

1534
01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:02.319
of responded, of course, you
know, like so the story end of

1535
01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:05.760
getting around. Reuters picked it up, Bloomberg picked it up, and then

1536
01:40:05.880 --> 01:40:11.039
game sites started kind of going off
of that stuff. We consider individual requests

1537
01:40:11.039 --> 01:40:14.119
separately within the company, but I
don't think we would announce the results thereof

1538
01:40:14.760 --> 01:40:15.800
what does that even mean? That
means like, oh, yeah, we

1539
01:40:15.880 --> 01:40:19.119
hear all side sources of shit.
But even if we were to take advice

1540
01:40:19.319 --> 01:40:23.640
from any of you fucking assholes,
we're not gonna get out there and say,

1541
01:40:23.720 --> 01:40:26.720
like, good idea, We're gonna
get right on this seth Fisher,

1542
01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:30.159
Thanks dude, fuck man ninety nine
sets to jump higher. That's gonna solve

1543
01:40:30.199 --> 01:40:32.920
all our problems, except for the
part where that would just turn him into

1544
01:40:32.960 --> 01:40:44.039
Luigi and ruin every fucking game ever. Jack off open letters. Yeah,

1545
01:40:44.880 --> 01:40:49.640
I'm gonna get something off my chest. I can't reach this block. They

1546
01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:53.600
could be making so much more money. I've got more money than time,

1547
01:40:53.960 --> 01:40:57.760
and I need to reach this block. What is in this question mark block?

1548
01:40:57.800 --> 01:41:00.359
I don't know. I jumped and
hit it and it's and I need

1549
01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:06.880
to wait a day for the coin
to pop out. Fuck. Ultra street

1550
01:41:06.920 --> 01:41:13.800
Fighter four will theoretically be the final
version of street Fighter four. Okay,

1551
01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:16.479
maybe what were the last one?
The final one? No, there are

1552
01:41:16.600 --> 01:41:21.760
three out now. Yeah, there's
a Super street Fighter four, Super street

1553
01:41:21.800 --> 01:41:28.079
Fighter four, Super street Fighter four
Arcade Edition, and then Super street Fighter

1554
01:41:28.319 --> 01:41:30.800
for Arcade Edition twenty twelve. Jeff, why does no one else do this?

1555
01:41:33.600 --> 01:41:36.840
Because they I mean, I think
they're doing this sort of stuff,

1556
01:41:36.920 --> 01:41:42.279
Like they didn't sell all of those
Some of those were just big patch upgrades,

1557
01:41:42.359 --> 01:41:45.479
big balance changes. I think twenty
twelve was just a yeah, yeah,

1558
01:41:45.520 --> 01:41:47.199
that was just an update like that, the equivalent of like selling a

1559
01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:50.760
Game of the Year edition with all
the mattas that is. That is more

1560
01:41:50.840 --> 01:41:54.399
or less how they've treated it kind
of. I mean, I think some

1561
01:41:54.520 --> 01:41:59.239
of those that content debuted with those
new versions, right, like a some

1562
01:41:59.359 --> 01:42:01.840
of it added care so you know, there were cases, and they added

1563
01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:06.319
costumes along awail a lot too.
So Ultra will be available sort of like

1564
01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:11.079
how they did with Super You can
upgrade your existing copy of the game digitally,

1565
01:42:11.359 --> 01:42:14.319
or you can just buy it new
on a disc, which is useful

1566
01:42:14.359 --> 01:42:17.399
because people running fighting game tournaments might
not have Internet in whatever hotel ballroom they're

1567
01:42:17.439 --> 01:42:20.159
hold up in and they need a
disc, and so the disc will have

1568
01:42:20.199 --> 01:42:23.760
all the costumes unlocked and all this
other stuff. Are there new characters?

1569
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:27.239
Yes, Ultra, Yes, I
believe five new characters. I want to

1570
01:42:27.239 --> 01:42:29.880
say they've anounced four of them and
have not announced the fifth. So,

1571
01:42:30.159 --> 01:42:33.439
but the thing they did announce,
which I believe, happened during the so

1572
01:42:33.880 --> 01:42:39.760
so Cal regionals which are happening over
the weekend. Uh cross. Yes,

1573
01:42:40.239 --> 01:42:47.880
no additions select in that so edition
edition. Okay, so if you want

1574
01:42:47.920 --> 01:42:54.479
audition edition. So if you want
to play street Fighter four, no,

1575
01:42:54.960 --> 01:43:00.039
so if you want to play Ken
from a street Fighter four versus is like

1576
01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:04.520
Ken from Super street Fighter. Yes
four. Yes, you can send the

1577
01:43:04.600 --> 01:43:09.479
different versions of a character against each
other, including the new You know,

1578
01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:14.399
they're rebalancing everything for Ultra, so
it'll be that A twenty twelve, a

1579
01:43:14.880 --> 01:43:19.119
Super and regular. That's crazy.
They've done this before with a Hyper Hyper

1580
01:43:19.119 --> 01:43:21.239
street Fighter two. They put out
a version where it's like, okay,

1581
01:43:21.239 --> 01:43:24.479
all the street Fighter twos you can
you can you know, have the different

1582
01:43:24.479 --> 01:43:26.439
balance changes and there it's kind of
a mess. It's kind of a mess,

1583
01:43:26.880 --> 01:43:29.880
but it's like a fun, crazy
dumb thing. Like you know,

1584
01:43:30.399 --> 01:43:35.479
some of the characters from Original street
Fighter four are just like crazy overpowered compared

1585
01:43:35.520 --> 01:43:39.720
to what those characters are the way
the balance has changed now, right,

1586
01:43:40.119 --> 01:43:42.399
so you know you at the end
of the life of it, fuck it,

1587
01:43:42.479 --> 01:43:46.600
man, throw it open party.
That's fun. Yeah, okay,

1588
01:43:47.159 --> 01:43:49.880
I mean, you know, I'm
not like current enough with the game or

1589
01:43:50.159 --> 01:43:54.560
the a lot of the iterations they've
done to really like necessarily get a lot

1590
01:43:54.640 --> 01:43:57.920
out of that myself, right,
somebody will. Yeah, I think it's

1591
01:43:57.920 --> 01:44:00.439
super fun. That's cool. I
thought Hyper street Fighter two was. It

1592
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:03.880
was a cool idea too back in
the day, but it was kind of

1593
01:44:03.920 --> 01:44:10.520
a mess. And spots and that's
it for news. Say one has got

1594
01:44:10.520 --> 01:44:14.960
anything, m and the news I
have something, Jeff. Yeah, I'm

1595
01:44:15.000 --> 01:44:17.319
not sure. I don't know what
kind of emails you got mm hmm.

1596
01:44:18.880 --> 01:44:24.840
But I was alerted to something by
a Twitter user, all right, with

1597
01:44:24.960 --> 01:44:32.000
the recent military action that Russian troops
taken in the Ukraine region. There's been

1598
01:44:32.039 --> 01:44:38.680
a change to the signal on u
PB seventy six. Really, yes,

1599
01:44:40.399 --> 01:44:50.159
you're gonna play it? Uh,
you your rings? Here's here's all right.

1600
01:44:50.199 --> 01:45:02.159
I'll bring up the most recent recording
of a Yeah, that sort of

1601
01:45:02.199 --> 01:45:14.560
sounds like same thing, right.
Apparently it is more staccato then it has

1602
01:45:14.640 --> 01:45:20.399
been in uh in times past.
Really, so it's a slightly shorter tone.

1603
01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:25.840
Yes, what does it mean?
What does it mean? Probably means

1604
01:45:25.840 --> 01:45:30.359
they just upgraded the equipment or something, or maybe that's how they're planning on

1605
01:45:30.399 --> 01:45:38.600
invade as the invasion signals. Yeah, I'm loading it up over here.

1606
01:45:38.680 --> 01:45:45.199
Okay, so there's a there's a
post on Reddit. Yeah, the guy

1607
01:45:45.199 --> 01:45:53.520
who learned it to me was Steve
Krasinski. What is uh? Nobody knows

1608
01:45:53.600 --> 01:45:57.319
from where it originates? Is that
possible? I don't know. Well,

1609
01:45:57.399 --> 01:45:59.640
if it's in an area that you
can't really get to, you can triangulate

1610
01:45:59.680 --> 01:46:05.720
it down to a certain point.
Yeah, but m hm hmm, let's

1611
01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:13.920
see if this is actually a place. Maybe that's how they awake the awaken.

1612
01:46:14.000 --> 01:46:16.720
Their name was Evil that sleeps beneath
the waves. That's how they summon

1613
01:46:16.840 --> 01:46:25.640
the old ones to their cause.
This is happening now, Yeah, yep,

1614
01:46:25.920 --> 01:46:29.239
yep, that's waking up. All
right, ladies and gentlemen, this

1615
01:46:29.279 --> 01:46:32.159
is happening now. Do not freak
out, do not panic, this's just

1616
01:46:32.399 --> 01:46:50.159
in. Uh, pitch pitch lower
and pitch well the pitch. You can't

1617
01:46:50.199 --> 01:46:55.359
always determine that when you get into
these Wait, so this is a live

1618
01:46:55.399 --> 01:46:58.600
one? Is there is there a
recording that was that was upper side band

1619
01:46:59.279 --> 01:47:01.479
all? Uh, go to the
main feed. Please tune to four forty

1620
01:47:01.560 --> 01:47:13.640
hurts. Okay, Oh wait,
I'm getting something referred to as the helicopter

1621
01:47:13.760 --> 01:47:20.560
sound. Okay, that could be
someone else trying to jam it. It's

1622
01:47:20.600 --> 01:47:26.520
thought to be interference from a one
hundred killer Hurts Chakra Slash Lauren rs d

1623
01:47:26.760 --> 01:47:30.279
N ten transmitter too close to the
buzzer m See, yeah, there's your

1624
01:47:30.319 --> 01:47:36.880
problem. See now, Okay,
I dig the sound of it. Yeah

1625
01:47:38.079 --> 01:47:43.319
yeah, don't listen to it for
too long, don't don't why dwell activate?

1626
01:47:43.640 --> 01:47:58.119
Okay, he's only got half of
the code downloaded. Order. What's

1627
01:47:58.119 --> 01:48:04.000
the name of that thing? UVB
seventy six UVB twitch plays UVB seventy six

1628
01:48:04.920 --> 01:48:10.359
buzz stop. I just think uzz
stop buzz nine. Can we take this

1629
01:48:10.479 --> 01:48:15.000
into diplomacy mode. Please, it's
getting a little crazy. I just think

1630
01:48:15.079 --> 01:48:18.479
there is no diplomacy, comrade.
I just think if you B forty,

1631
01:48:18.520 --> 01:48:24.159
every time you bring that thing up
UB forty live stream is something completely different,

1632
01:48:24.319 --> 01:48:27.199
So you be forty one. Sounds
like this, but wait, weird

1633
01:48:28.119 --> 01:48:34.000
they're both playing the same thing.
Don't don't do well that ud rud one?

1634
01:48:39.479 --> 01:48:43.600
Gosh, yeah, I wonder if
if the events are related. Yeah,

1635
01:48:44.640 --> 01:48:47.800
I mean if it is some military
coordination signal, it would make sense,

1636
01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:50.760
I guess. So yeah, I
don't know. Whole thing sounds pretty

1637
01:48:50.760 --> 01:48:56.520
shitty. You know, it's to
these radio signals. No, no,

1638
01:48:56.680 --> 01:48:59.880
no, no, no, let's
get into emails. Wait, I had

1639
01:48:59.880 --> 01:49:01.880
a news okay, go on short
piece of news, all right. Gabe

1640
01:49:01.920 --> 01:49:05.960
Newell was doing an AMA right before
this, and ask me anything. Yes,

1641
01:49:06.359 --> 01:49:11.600
American movies. Somebody who's asking him
about the International four. They were

1642
01:49:11.600 --> 01:49:15.800
attempting to move it to Key Arena
this year, okay, which is way

1643
01:49:15.880 --> 01:49:17.479
way bigger than ben A Royal Hall, which is where they had been having

1644
01:49:17.520 --> 01:49:20.760
it. The International is the big
Dota tournament, of course. Yeah are

1645
01:49:20.760 --> 01:49:26.439
you going, I don't know,
sh go probably almost last year? Yeah,

1646
01:49:26.960 --> 01:49:29.840
well that all these months to plan. Now. Yeah, well so

1647
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:32.119
the Benar Royal only held twenty five
people and the tickets sold out in like,

1648
01:49:32.199 --> 01:49:34.039
you know, six minutes or whatever, and it was just a huge

1649
01:49:34.079 --> 01:49:36.159
pain in the assid you know,
we could get press access, but blah

1650
01:49:36.199 --> 01:49:40.359
blah blah. It was a lot
of people were very frustrated with that whole

1651
01:49:40.359 --> 01:49:44.720
process of trying to get into that
thing. Uh and key arena if they

1652
01:49:44.760 --> 01:49:45.760
get in there. He didn't confirm
it. He said, we're working on

1653
01:49:45.840 --> 01:49:47.880
it. You know, we hope
that's how it goes. We'll let everybody

1654
01:49:47.960 --> 01:49:53.279
know. That thing has over seventeen
thousand seats as they proper. That's where

1655
01:49:53.319 --> 01:49:56.319
the Sonics played when they were still
the Sonics. Yeah, they are.

1656
01:49:56.560 --> 01:50:00.279
The NBA games happened there. So
yeah, hopefully that works out. You

1657
01:50:00.319 --> 01:50:03.600
know, that's a whole shipload more
seats for that thing. But we would

1658
01:50:03.640 --> 01:50:06.800
lose a lot of its intimacy.
Yeah, that's true, but I don't

1659
01:50:06.840 --> 01:50:11.840
know. Screen would be way bigger. Yeah, I don't know where it's

1660
01:50:12.199 --> 01:50:15.199
in Seattle, Okay, Yeah,
yeah, I'll probably go to that.

1661
01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:18.039
You should go enjoy life, should
Yeah? What else are you doing?

1662
01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:21.039
These video games? They're not for
fun? Though, that's for sure.

1663
01:50:23.960 --> 01:50:27.399
I've got some emails. All right, let's talk about emails. BombCast a

1664
01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:30.239
giant. Bomb dot com is where
you should send your emails if you want

1665
01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:34.079
them to be read by one of
us and then potentially and then potentially selected

1666
01:50:34.159 --> 01:50:36.199
for. Yeah, someone might read
it if you want it to be read.

1667
01:50:36.239 --> 01:50:41.920
I'm not saying it's gonna be not
a miracle worker. Uh, we

1668
01:50:42.039 --> 01:50:44.800
have selected, I've I have probably
picked too many of them. But let's

1669
01:50:44.840 --> 01:50:47.199
just get into it. Max in
Australia writes and says, look, motherfucker,

1670
01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:51.000
I'm a dork, says the guy
wearing thongs with jeans and at work,

1671
01:50:51.199 --> 01:50:56.640
and you're from Sydney, the la
of Australia. Uh huh, she's

1672
01:50:56.680 --> 01:50:59.039
getting real in there. I don't
know. I don't know what's happening.

1673
01:50:59.640 --> 01:51:03.560
I don't fucks. The real beef
happening is in the water in Australia.

1674
01:51:03.680 --> 01:51:08.920
Australian beef, yeah, Sydney.
Okay. So what we got We got

1675
01:51:08.960 --> 01:51:15.239
Sydney beef and Melbourne Melbourne beef.
Yeah, okay, Melbourne Melbourne Melbourne identity.

1676
01:51:15.319 --> 01:51:18.000
A lot of anonymous emails this week. A lot of people wrote in

1677
01:51:18.159 --> 01:51:24.119
with stuff. Some fucking shit.
Man. Some whistleblowers, yeah, yes,

1678
01:51:24.199 --> 01:51:28.239
some toward hushmails coming in. Uh, this is anonymus email. For

1679
01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:30.720
example, I work full time as
a system's administrator. Some of these I

1680
01:51:30.920 --> 01:51:34.520
just said, maybe I shouldn't say
this guy's name. Okay, this is

1681
01:51:34.720 --> 01:51:38.199
this is such a making the call. Yeah, making the call? Like,

1682
01:51:38.279 --> 01:51:41.960
man, maybe this guy at work
full time as a system's administrator for

1683
01:51:42.000 --> 01:51:45.800
one of the big four banks in
the city and part time as a contracted

1684
01:51:45.840 --> 01:51:49.359
game developer. Wow into the In
two thousand eight, I graduated college with

1685
01:51:49.359 --> 01:51:53.560
a degree in computer science and network
technologies with a small minor and game design.

1686
01:51:53.800 --> 01:51:56.520
I almost immediately got what I thought
was my dream job, working for

1687
01:51:56.600 --> 01:52:00.239
a big studio under a huge publisher
on a new Triple A title. I'm

1688
01:52:00.359 --> 01:52:03.439
just from my experience in school with
the Unreal Engine. After almost four years

1689
01:52:03.479 --> 01:52:06.199
of hard work, the publisher closed
down our studio in twenty twelve without ever

1690
01:52:06.239 --> 01:52:11.279
announcing the title I had been slaving
away on since graduation. With a blank

1691
01:52:11.319 --> 01:52:14.000
resume in hand, I was unable
to find work within the industry and was

1692
01:52:14.079 --> 01:52:16.479
forced to move back East. My
condolences to those hit by the recent layoffs.

1693
01:52:17.399 --> 01:52:20.760
Thankfully, months down the line,
friends from the now shutdown studio reached

1694
01:52:20.760 --> 01:52:24.439
out to me, offering some small
contracts on a few independent titles. Now

1695
01:52:24.479 --> 01:52:27.720
two years later, I have a
small handful of independent and even a few

1696
01:52:27.760 --> 01:52:30.279
Triple A titles under my belt as
a contractor, and my contract work isn't

1697
01:52:30.319 --> 01:52:34.880
slowing down at all. I mainly
focus on the following within these contracts profile

1698
01:52:34.920 --> 01:52:39.840
slash, data synchronization, across platforms, leaderboards, internal analytics and logging,

1699
01:52:39.880 --> 01:52:43.920
and micro transactions. Right, you're
a monster? Oh no. Now,

1700
01:52:44.079 --> 01:52:47.239
having experience with Frostbite, Unreal and
the Hero Engine, each company greatly varies

1701
01:52:47.279 --> 01:52:53.399
with their contractual approach. We're talking
about like Frostbite, like how's that work?

1702
01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:56.920
And across studio and stuff. So
I think this is primarily frosch that

1703
01:52:57.920 --> 01:53:01.159
EA has their own internal wiki filled
with information about the inner workings of Frostbite,

1704
01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:04.840
making my job much easier. They
are also one of the better companies

1705
01:53:04.880 --> 01:53:09.000
in the business when it comes to
licenses and open source. Hard to believe,

1706
01:53:09.039 --> 01:53:11.520
I know, wow, Now they
use a fair amount of open source,

1707
01:53:11.600 --> 01:53:14.039
like the most of their games have
like a hey, you need to

1708
01:53:14.079 --> 01:53:15.880
go to this webpage to see what
open source shit we used in this game

1709
01:53:16.399 --> 01:53:19.720
because we need to say that.
Yeah, somebody, somebody reached out on

1710
01:53:19.720 --> 01:53:25.039
Twitter after last week and said uh
STIA had actually formed like an engineering strike

1711
01:53:25.079 --> 01:53:29.439
team once they had stopped licensing external
engines settled on Frostbite, Like there is

1712
01:53:29.479 --> 01:53:31.359
a group that just develops like tools
and stuff for Frostbite. That makes sense.

1713
01:53:31.520 --> 01:53:36.039
That makes sense most of the time. Dealing with companies using the unreal

1714
01:53:36.119 --> 01:53:41.479
our hero engine, their answer to
any problem they arise is simply read the

1715
01:53:41.520 --> 01:53:44.640
fucking manual, which he spelled out
for me in case I didn't know what

1716
01:53:44.760 --> 01:53:48.239
that meant, which thank you.
Which makes trying to accomplish my task difficult

1717
01:53:48.279 --> 01:53:51.359
since as a contractor, I'm never
working with the entire code base, just

1718
01:53:51.479 --> 01:53:55.680
bits at a time. I don't
have access to most debugger developer tools,

1719
01:53:55.760 --> 01:53:59.880
especially custom modifications at the engine level. Recently, a law was passed stating

1720
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:02.479
that any company contracting out workers for
more than twenty hours a week are required

1721
01:54:02.479 --> 01:54:05.319
to bring these people on as part
time employees. This has made for some

1722
01:54:05.479 --> 01:54:10.720
very interesting negotiations with companies asking for
me to either not specify how long a

1723
01:54:10.760 --> 01:54:15.159
particular task took, or to split
my standard one to two weekend workload into

1724
01:54:15.199 --> 01:54:18.319
at least a month, stopping each
week at nineteen point five hours. I'm

1725
01:54:18.319 --> 01:54:21.520
also pleased to say I'm now doing
contract working on an unannounced next gen new

1726
01:54:21.600 --> 01:54:26.520
IP set to reveal at E three
ps. There's nothing more I want I

1727
01:54:26.640 --> 01:54:30.439
want than the book on what the
fuck happened with Battlefield four. Also,

1728
01:54:30.600 --> 01:54:35.039
Fortnite isn't real, merely a tech
demok. Okay, wow, man,

1729
01:54:35.520 --> 01:54:41.680
emails are heating up. Yeah,
all right, take that Sydney man.

1730
01:54:43.239 --> 01:54:47.560
That was interesting. That's what I
call an email. Yeah, yes,

1731
01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:50.960
I yes, I am not surprised
this year. You know, hey,

1732
01:54:51.000 --> 01:54:54.279
who knows? We don't know who
this is. He could have made all

1733
01:54:54.319 --> 01:54:57.319
that ship up. Yeah, Fortnite
could be shipping next week for all window,

1734
01:54:59.159 --> 01:55:05.199
but I doubt it. Another anonymous
email comes in. I'm an ex

1735
01:55:05.319 --> 01:55:10.439
LucasArts employee. I was reminiscing with
an ex Lucas buddy and he reminded me

1736
01:55:10.600 --> 01:55:23.640
of the Lucas Arts shit Bandit the
lucasartship band. Yeah, I do it,

1737
01:55:23.720 --> 01:55:26.880
went something of those ceiling tiles and
put it all up there. It's

1738
01:55:26.880 --> 01:55:30.319
been just under a year since the
studio shutdown development. So here's an insider

1739
01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:35.359
exclusive periodically over the course of a
few years. I've heard as far back

1740
01:55:35.439 --> 01:55:40.800
as nine or ten, someone would
enter a stall in the restroom and proceed

1741
01:55:40.920 --> 01:55:45.199
to deliberately shit on and in everything
but the toilet. There would be smears,

1742
01:55:45.439 --> 01:55:49.720
handprints, and footprints, but no
fingerprints and no tracks leading out,

1743
01:55:50.439 --> 01:55:56.359
meaning that whoever did it wore gloves
and had shoes specifically for this task.

1744
01:55:58.319 --> 01:56:01.119
It's weird to actually tell someone about
out this because it's totally something that should

1745
01:56:01.159 --> 01:56:04.439
never happen at work. But when
it would occur, it just seemed like

1746
01:56:04.640 --> 01:56:11.720
par for the course, like the
ship. Then it's struck again. Towards

1747
01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:15.279
the end when Disney bought us and
everything was quotes business as usual. It

1748
01:56:15.439 --> 01:56:21.279
happened about four times over that six
month period and then abruptly stopped. As

1749
01:56:21.359 --> 01:56:25.439
far as I know, the purp
was never caught. He is basically the

1750
01:56:25.640 --> 01:56:30.560
DP cooper of fecal crime. Sometimes
I wonder if it was George anyway,

1751
01:56:30.600 --> 01:56:33.720
That's all I got. Yeah,
that's George Lucas probably slipping into stalls and

1752
01:56:33.840 --> 01:56:41.239
just like motherfuckers in this place,
our shit. So here's some shit.

1753
01:56:41.800 --> 01:56:46.760
Man. Oh dude, if this
keeps off, we that that all emails

1754
01:56:46.800 --> 01:56:49.920
podcast we just talk about it might
be become a reality. Right, this

1755
01:56:50.079 --> 01:56:57.760
is gold you're inside scoops happy,
Yeah, exactly intense scoops all right,

1756
01:56:57.920 --> 01:57:00.600
James from Australia writes in and says, James from Australia. Here are given

1757
01:57:00.640 --> 01:57:04.199
the surprising number of mentions of Australia
over the last few podcasts. I thought

1758
01:57:04.199 --> 01:57:09.279
it would be very Unaustralia until at
the inaccuracies of my supposed countrymen to stand.

1759
01:57:09.960 --> 01:57:13.479
Thongs are acceptable to wear in almost
any circumstance, but never with long

1760
01:57:13.560 --> 01:57:16.800
pants. First, Max was probably
lying about having a job and wears his

1761
01:57:16.960 --> 01:57:23.079
thongs and jeans while on a Sydney
street corner playing some Swedish steel drum thing.

1762
01:57:26.359 --> 01:57:30.199
And then he provided some fun facts
about Australia, which I figure,

1763
01:57:30.199 --> 01:57:31.119
you know, if we're gonna really
gonna go down this road, we need

1764
01:57:31.199 --> 01:57:33.039
to know more about that. We
need to get the lay of the lands.

1765
01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:38.000
It's really fair. All the deadly
animals you hear about live in Sydney

1766
01:57:38.039 --> 01:57:42.560
and never come to Melbourne. Okay. The set for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

1767
01:57:42.600 --> 01:57:45.560
was unavailable for the music video of
California Love, so they just filmed two

1768
01:57:45.600 --> 01:57:48.960
Pocket Doctor Dre performing on the streets
of Sydney. Melbourne was going to be

1769
01:57:49.039 --> 01:57:53.199
the capital of Australia until Sydney whined
about it and we had to build the

1770
01:57:53.279 --> 01:57:57.600
ship hole. That is our nation's
capital, Canberra. That is apparently another

1771
01:57:57.680 --> 01:58:02.439
city in Australia, Canberra, and
that that's it. Thanks, thank you,

1772
01:58:02.560 --> 01:58:12.159
James. The Australian thong debate is
rageous. Is it is extremely hot?

1773
01:58:12.479 --> 01:58:15.600
We should go to Australia. We
probably should go to Australia. The

1774
01:58:15.720 --> 01:58:18.920
kilts, we need to know what's
going on backs Australia is like Halloween this

1775
01:58:19.039 --> 01:58:26.720
year. Whoa weird Yeah, weird
time. Another anonymus email. I work

1776
01:58:26.800 --> 01:58:30.119
at a popular national big box retail
store that is actually the largest and highest

1777
01:58:30.159 --> 01:58:33.119
in sales of this chain in the
country. Part of that is because we're

1778
01:58:33.199 --> 01:58:36.159
located less than three miles from the
largest college campus in the US, and

1779
01:58:36.239 --> 01:58:41.000
as a result, it's a pretty
good microcosm for the popularity of video games.

1780
01:58:41.039 --> 01:58:45.479
What was being surrounded by the ideal
game buying demographic. At my store,

1781
01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:49.359
we almost literally can't sell Xbox ones. Our launched shipment was sixty three.

1782
01:58:49.439 --> 01:58:54.319
PS four's weird number but they come
in boxes of three and ten Xbox

1783
01:58:54.439 --> 01:58:57.840
ones. They come in twos.
We had a line for the PS four

1784
01:58:58.000 --> 01:59:00.319
full well before midnight the day of
release, and even though we sold all

1785
01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:03.680
our Xboxes that night, it was
through people kind of wandering in overnight on

1786
01:59:03.760 --> 01:59:08.720
the twenty second no line. Nowadays, we get about six to nine PS

1787
01:59:08.800 --> 01:59:11.439
fours per week, so we've been
talking about like there's been some like,

1788
01:59:11.720 --> 01:59:15.279
oh, they're cutting off shipments of
PS fours to America to sport Japan like

1789
01:59:15.399 --> 01:59:17.159
that seemed crazy at the time.
This seems to back that up. Nowadays

1790
01:59:17.199 --> 01:59:19.840
we get about six to nine PS
fours per week and have never been able

1791
01:59:19.880 --> 01:59:23.399
to keep them in the store for
more than twenty four hours. We've been

1792
01:59:23.439 --> 01:59:26.359
sitting on the same three Xbox ones
for nearly a month. Wow. They

1793
01:59:26.399 --> 01:59:29.760
actually have packaging labels that say they've
been sitting in our warehouse since launch.

1794
01:59:30.199 --> 01:59:33.279
Since November twenty thirteen, we have
actually sold more we use than Xbox once.

1795
01:59:34.079 --> 01:59:36.880
It's super weird considering the three sixty
was far and away the most popular

1796
01:59:36.960 --> 01:59:42.880
system with our college crowd and even
today outsells everything but the PS four.

1797
01:59:43.520 --> 01:59:45.119
So there you go. Another anecdote
about the weird drop off in Xbox one

1798
01:59:45.199 --> 01:59:48.119
sales. Side note, no one
has asked about titan Fall, but we

1799
01:59:48.199 --> 01:59:54.600
do get tons of questions about the
release date for Watchdogs. Weird ps The

1800
01:59:54.680 --> 01:59:56.880
day before I wrote this, the
company had a massive sale and everything in

1801
01:59:56.920 --> 01:59:59.880
electronics, during which we sold every
PS four in all eight stores in the

1802
02:00:00.039 --> 02:00:03.319
market and literally one Xbox one we
also sold out if we use in one

1803
02:00:03.520 --> 02:00:08.560
day, that's that's weird. Yeah
again, and not, you know,

1804
02:00:08.720 --> 02:00:10.880
not like we do have a name
over this, so you know, I'm

1805
02:00:11.119 --> 02:00:13.239
Rina is anonymous, But you know, we don't know that this guy even

1806
02:00:13.279 --> 02:00:15.279
works at a at a store.
He could be making all this up.

1807
02:00:15.920 --> 02:00:20.239
But I feel like we've gotten enough
of this now that it's just I've seen

1808
02:00:20.319 --> 02:00:24.800
enough pictures of Xbox one cent of
stores. It just seems like something's wrong.

1809
02:00:25.000 --> 02:00:30.399
Yeah, college is a very sort
of bubble environment. Yeah, I

1810
02:00:30.520 --> 02:00:40.640
wonder if there's some sociological wildfire that
happens when that guy gets a PS four.

1811
02:00:40.800 --> 02:00:42.439
You see it and go like I
need to get one of those.

1812
02:00:42.640 --> 02:00:45.279
Yeah. Yeah, maybe, but
maybe the early adopters chose PS four and

1813
02:00:45.359 --> 02:00:49.520
that's informing the rest of the right
should make sense. Yeah, who knows?

1814
02:00:49.640 --> 02:00:53.720
Maybe they're Yeah, maybe there are
campuses where it's all xboxes. That

1815
02:00:53.800 --> 02:01:00.239
would be as who's the guy who
writes all that pop sociology good, the

1816
02:01:00.279 --> 02:01:11.279
freakonomics guys Stephen tipping Point and outliers
that guy, Nate Silver, Malcolm Goldlow.

1817
02:01:11.880 --> 02:01:14.840
Yeah, okay, yes, yes, right about PlayStations, right,

1818
02:01:15.039 --> 02:01:20.159
yes, Matthew writes in and says, I know it's been a few weeks

1819
02:01:20.159 --> 02:01:23.800
since you talked about it, but
I want to I wanted to contribute to

1820
02:01:23.840 --> 02:01:30.479
the flip flop discussion. Jeez.
I work in a molecular molecular biology laboratory

1821
02:01:30.520 --> 02:01:34.399
at you see Berkeley and use some
fairly hazardous materials radioactive isotopes, mutant viruses,

1822
02:01:34.520 --> 02:01:40.439
concentrated acids, etc. Despite this, people still wear flip flops in

1823
02:01:40.520 --> 02:01:44.399
the lab. As you can imagine, this has led to several chemical burns

1824
02:01:44.439 --> 02:01:47.039
and general injuries over the years.
We're supposed to wear long pants and clothes

1825
02:01:47.079 --> 02:01:50.640
toad shoes all the time, but
people insist on wearing whatever. I think

1826
02:01:50.680 --> 02:01:54.319
this is a testament to people's love
of their flip flops, no matter the

1827
02:01:54.399 --> 02:01:58.239
hazard. I'm originally from Philadelphia,
so I find all this very strange.

1828
02:01:58.399 --> 02:02:00.479
Flip flops are for the beach,
and that's it. Keep up the great

1829
02:02:00.520 --> 02:02:03.600
work. It helps the hours of
experiments go by. I especially enjoy the

1830
02:02:03.680 --> 02:02:10.239
science sections. You guys get close
enough. I'll take it. I'll take

1831
02:02:10.279 --> 02:02:14.600
it. Not the flip flops though, No, he's right, scientists scientists

1832
02:02:14.640 --> 02:02:19.239
agree that's right. No flip flops. Well, regarding the risky flip flop

1833
02:02:19.359 --> 02:02:24.520
wearing Berkeley, yeah, totally so, I'm surprised that they're wearing clothes at

1834
02:02:24.520 --> 02:02:29.640
all, Taylor writes. In says, a few weeks ago, Jeff claimed

1835
02:02:29.640 --> 02:02:31.800
he would be able to identify where
a fast food burger came from based purely

1836
02:02:31.920 --> 02:02:34.840
on taste alone. I'll back that
up. I still feel that way.

1837
02:02:35.439 --> 02:02:40.000
My buddies, some fellow listeners,
and I were hanging out one night and

1838
02:02:40.119 --> 02:02:44.039
started talking about this. My friends
were flabberc acid at the claim, especially

1839
02:02:44.119 --> 02:02:45.640
after I said I thought I could
do the same. We talked about making

1840
02:02:45.680 --> 02:02:48.840
plans for another time to try it, but that was it until last night

1841
02:02:50.119 --> 02:02:55.520
and impromptu get together quickly escalated into
Burger Challenge twenty fourteen. It was brought

1842
02:02:55.600 --> 02:02:58.279
up, quickly dismissed, then brought
up again. We hashed out the rules.

1843
02:02:58.319 --> 02:03:01.159
Decided where to get burgers, then
split into two burger acquisition teams.

1844
02:03:01.760 --> 02:03:05.359
We had eleven burgers. One was
accidentally emitted, which through the experiment off

1845
02:03:05.359 --> 02:03:09.399
a little bit. But it turns
out it wouldn't really have made much of

1846
02:03:09.439 --> 02:03:13.039
a distant difference, as I only
guessed three out of ten correctly. Wow,

1847
02:03:13.239 --> 02:03:16.119
say hard. I'm no burger connoisseur, but I eat out enough to

1848
02:03:16.199 --> 02:03:19.399
the point where I was very surprised
at how difficult it was to actually guess.

1849
02:03:19.439 --> 02:03:23.279
I think like ten is a lot, like there are there ten fast

1850
02:03:23.359 --> 02:03:25.840
food places that would apply it.
So I think he has run down what

1851
02:03:25.880 --> 02:03:30.119
he's picked up. Here Here are
Here are the rules. Go to the

1852
02:03:30.199 --> 02:03:32.319
establishment and ask for a cheeseburger and
take what they give you. No quarter

1853
02:03:32.359 --> 02:03:35.479
pounder, which cheese, just cheeseburger. We did have one exception, that

1854
02:03:35.600 --> 02:03:39.319
one like you just take whatever.
See that would throw it off for me

1855
02:03:39.479 --> 02:03:42.520
because I never order that, right, we'd have to get like you get

1856
02:03:42.560 --> 02:03:45.119
no less, I would get a
cheeseburger. Catch up only that that is

1857
02:03:45.159 --> 02:03:45.680
how I would get it. Well, I think it's as long as you

1858
02:03:45.800 --> 02:03:49.000
standardized, yes, yeah, that
you should be able to do that.

1859
02:03:49.199 --> 02:03:53.439
Otherwise you'd be able to like,
for instance, some Guntalds cheeseburger has diced

1860
02:03:53.479 --> 02:03:55.920
onions on it, right, default, Yeah, you'd be able to tell

1861
02:03:55.960 --> 02:03:59.399
the part just by the weird little
extras, but like no signature burgers,

1862
02:04:00.680 --> 02:04:01.600
not a big Mac because like,
oh, was there bread in the middle

1863
02:04:01.600 --> 02:04:05.439
of this? Yes? Or no
blindfold challenger and give them a part of

1864
02:04:05.479 --> 02:04:10.199
the burger. Challenger makes a guest. Guess. Challenger remains blindfolded, and

1865
02:04:10.199 --> 02:04:14.479
the results are not shared until all
all all burgers are tasted and guess is

1866
02:04:14.520 --> 02:04:17.840
mate. We had burgers from Okay, Jack in the Box, Carl's,

1867
02:04:17.880 --> 02:04:24.960
junr McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's. Those all sound like ones. I

1868
02:04:25.000 --> 02:04:28.800
could totally get dairy queen, no
idea what their burger's taste like, I

1869
02:04:28.840 --> 02:04:31.760
would not. There's no dairy queen
near me. Five guys which actually accidentally

1870
02:04:31.760 --> 02:04:39.560
got left out. I guess Del
Taco Wiener Schnitzel Taco has burgers. I

1871
02:04:39.600 --> 02:04:43.000
guess. I know I don't eat
Del Taco enough too, I would.

1872
02:04:43.000 --> 02:04:45.520
I would probably not be able to
guess, and I would in fact say

1873
02:04:45.600 --> 02:04:47.680
that like by adding all these random
burgers to it, that would make it

1874
02:04:47.720 --> 02:04:53.680
actually super impossible yeah, because then
you're doubting yourself, right. And two

1875
02:04:53.720 --> 02:04:57.720
from local burger chain Burgerville. They
have an original cheeseburger that has a special

1876
02:04:57.800 --> 02:05:01.399
spread and a Tillamook cheeseburger. Both
were included because they each offer something different

1877
02:05:01.439 --> 02:05:04.520
in the way of cheeseburgers. Restaurant
options are obviously going to be different in

1878
02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:08.239
your area, but I want to
share our parameters. I was only able

1879
02:05:08.279 --> 02:05:12.319
to put pick out Burger King only
after already guessing Burger King, then eating

1880
02:05:12.319 --> 02:05:15.760
another burger and saying, oh shit, this one is Burger King, McDonald's

1881
02:05:15.800 --> 02:05:19.520
and Dairy Queen. My burger world
was shattered after reading that. I picked

1882
02:05:19.600 --> 02:05:24.159
the Del Taco Burger for what I
thought was Wendy's, arguably my favorite fast

1883
02:05:24.239 --> 02:05:28.039
food. I thought the Wendy's would
be an easier one. Yeah, I

1884
02:05:28.079 --> 02:05:30.800
would think so. Sure, Well, you're not able to tell, like

1885
02:05:30.840 --> 02:05:35.600
the way you when you're biting into
it. We get we got to arrange

1886
02:05:35.680 --> 02:05:38.680
this. Yeah, we had to
figure out what were how we're going to

1887
02:05:38.720 --> 02:05:41.319
do this? Would you add anything
to this list? That's a good list.

1888
02:05:41.760 --> 02:05:44.279
I mean, I'm just thinking,
like this stuff that's in my area.

1889
02:05:44.520 --> 02:05:46.119
The stuff though, I would you
know, have have enough experience with

1890
02:05:46.319 --> 02:05:50.279
to feel like would make sense.
Would be Wendy's Jack in the Box,

1891
02:05:50.439 --> 02:05:59.199
Burger, King McDonald's in and out. Mhm, there is there's a Carl's

1892
02:05:59.239 --> 02:06:01.640
Junior sort of close by, and
you can throw it on the list and

1893
02:06:01.680 --> 02:06:04.560
we'll see what happens. But I'd
never go there, So it's it's Karby

1894
02:06:04.800 --> 02:06:09.199
That would be hard. Arby's does
not do a burger. Yeah, just

1895
02:06:09.279 --> 02:06:13.039
roast beef in there, shout cleanser. Yeah, I think this is burger.

1896
02:06:15.279 --> 02:06:17.960
I think I could do better than
three, all right, even with

1897
02:06:18.119 --> 02:06:21.279
the ten there or with the ten
there. I mean, I don't know

1898
02:06:21.359 --> 02:06:25.359
what a dairy queen burger tastes like. I would mix up five well in

1899
02:06:25.399 --> 02:06:27.359
and out. It's not on this
list, but I would mix up five

1900
02:06:27.399 --> 02:06:30.920
guys in and out. I think
that's that's that would be a weak spot

1901
02:06:30.000 --> 02:06:35.439
for me. I don't know what
a Wiener Schnitzel burger is. Yeah,

1902
02:06:35.680 --> 02:06:40.119
hot dog, hopefully it's just a
hot dog. I like hot dogs.

1903
02:06:40.680 --> 02:06:46.000
What a moss burger, Yeah,
we can give it a shotguns from Japan

1904
02:06:46.680 --> 02:06:53.640
important, But a wallburger, what's
that burger? May have? I mark

1905
02:06:53.680 --> 02:06:58.239
wallwork. I don't know, I
don't know. I think I could do

1906
02:06:58.359 --> 02:07:00.399
better than three. Probably throw a
white castle in there and you'd get it,

1907
02:07:01.079 --> 02:07:03.880
yeah, to be disgusting, But
I just microwave one and just be

1908
02:07:04.000 --> 02:07:09.000
like, oh, you got it. Yuck. That would ruin my taste

1909
02:07:09.000 --> 02:07:11.800
buds for all the stuff that I
had at first. They're so good.

1910
02:07:12.439 --> 02:07:14.920
I get a bag of twenty.
I don't like the onions, so it's

1911
02:07:14.960 --> 02:07:16.560
like it was the ones that they
sell frozen out here, which are the

1912
02:07:16.600 --> 02:07:19.800
only ones you can get out here, all have the onions on them already,

1913
02:07:19.840 --> 02:07:25.560
and they're just gross. They're gross. They're gross. Twenty burgers so

1914
02:07:25.680 --> 02:07:28.159
that's also crazy to me, the
part where they're just super tiny, so

1915
02:07:28.279 --> 02:07:32.560
you get like twenty of them.
Yeah, crave case of chicken rings.

1916
02:07:32.680 --> 02:07:36.199
Chicken rings I want with that.
Oh they were kind of gross. But

1917
02:07:36.279 --> 02:07:41.199
Eats Burgers and its own little fucking
couzy, cozy, little little castle.

1918
02:07:41.840 --> 02:07:44.840
It's great. The fries are terrible. I don't know if they've changed them

1919
02:07:44.880 --> 02:07:47.399
in the last twenty years. I
did eat at a proper I was was

1920
02:07:47.479 --> 02:07:50.079
back East visiting a friend and we
went to a white Castle and that's where

1921
02:07:50.079 --> 02:07:54.479
I got chicken rings and tried a
bunch of burgers. I thought it was

1922
02:07:54.479 --> 02:07:57.640
all terrible. I thought it was
all fu terrible, like terrible terrible or

1923
02:07:57.720 --> 02:08:00.399
terrible, like why am I eating
this? This is actual garbage? Okay,

1924
02:08:00.760 --> 02:08:05.800
it was pretty much I think actual
Oh okay, all right then now

1925
02:08:05.800 --> 02:08:09.079
I'm back on Morne cal from Melbourne
Rights and it says, I realize you

1926
02:08:09.119 --> 02:08:13.720
probably don't want to turn the podcast
into a personal message service for shooting Australians.

1927
02:08:13.800 --> 02:08:16.560
That's where you're wrong. Never assume. But this is a quick fashion

1928
02:08:16.680 --> 02:08:20.720
note for Max from Sydney. If
you're wearing thongs everywhere, you're probably some

1929
02:08:20.840 --> 02:08:24.960
sort of clueless Westy who thinks he's
cool, but it is oblivious to just

1930
02:08:24.079 --> 02:08:28.000
how classless he is. Thongs have
a time and place. And you mentioned

1931
02:08:28.079 --> 02:08:31.720
Sidney Pie at Bull being stylish and
attractive. Way to live up to the

1932
02:08:31.760 --> 02:08:39.119
shallow Sydney Sydney stereotype. Man,
that is all man bunch of criminals.

1933
02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:43.199
Yeah, you can tell that they're
all descended from the prison colony because they

1934
02:08:43.239 --> 02:08:46.920
are at each other's throats all the
time. Man, The real danger,

1935
02:08:48.079 --> 02:08:52.039
the real murderous beasts, are the
Australians. I think they're only in Sydney

1936
02:08:52.079 --> 02:08:54.640
though apparently, yeah, or this
canned barrow. This throws the whole thing

1937
02:08:54.640 --> 02:09:00.920
off. I don't even know what
to think anymore. Mauricio Florida says Hello.

1938
02:09:01.319 --> 02:09:03.159
My name is Mauricio, and I'm
for Florida, and I've got a

1939
02:09:03.239 --> 02:09:05.960
hypothetical scenario that hurts my brain to
think about. I'll try to explain it

1940
02:09:07.039 --> 02:09:13.720
as simply and quickly as possible.
First, the facts. A TV screen

1941
02:09:13.800 --> 02:09:16.079
is composed of pixels. Each pixel
can display a combination of red, green,

1942
02:09:16.199 --> 02:09:18.680
or blue. For the hell of
it, will use a ten ey

1943
02:09:18.800 --> 02:09:24.000
p TV for the scenario. That
is pixels or two million, seventy three,

1944
02:09:24.399 --> 02:09:28.039
six hundred pixels. Okay, check, got it. I'll trust your

1945
02:09:28.079 --> 02:09:33.600
math on it. Every single image
that is displayed or will ever be displayed

1946
02:09:33.680 --> 02:09:37.600
on that TV is just a combination
of those two million pixels in different RGB

1947
02:09:37.800 --> 02:09:43.319
combinations. There is a finite,
although incomprehensibly large amount of combinations, and

1948
02:09:43.319 --> 02:09:48.279
them should be number of combinations I
think these pixels could be in the point

1949
02:09:48.359 --> 02:09:54.359
being, it is finite. So
if a TV could hypothetically cycle through every

1950
02:09:54.399 --> 02:09:58.880
single possible combination of those two million
pixels, and combination of RGB within those

1951
02:10:00.039 --> 02:10:05.439
pixels. Would you then not hypothetically
see every single possible thing that exists or

1952
02:10:05.520 --> 02:10:11.880
could exist on that TV screen?
Yes, you would see past, present,

1953
02:10:11.920 --> 02:10:13.880
and future alien worlds. An image
of Hitler wearing a clown knows the

1954
02:10:13.960 --> 02:10:18.039
same image of Hitler wearing a clown
knows from every single possible angle. The

1955
02:10:18.119 --> 02:10:20.800
numbers get insanely large. It can
take billions of years for this TV to

1956
02:10:20.840 --> 02:10:24.119
cycle through every possible combination, possibly
longer than the life of the universe.

1957
02:10:24.880 --> 02:10:30.840
But it would eventually show everything,
right, I guess yes, Yeah,

1958
02:10:31.520 --> 02:10:33.279
you're kind of My math checks out. Well, you're you're kind of setting

1959
02:10:33.319 --> 02:10:39.119
this up not to fail, right
if you're saying it's ultimately let's showing this.

1960
02:10:39.319 --> 02:10:43.039
We have a bunch of TVs that
so many, we could have multiple

1961
02:10:43.039 --> 02:10:45.720
TVs going at once. Let's just
lowder the resolution. We'll go faster.

1962
02:10:46.000 --> 02:10:52.279
It's a good callotypac, I'll see
the universe in s D. Yeah,

1963
02:10:52.039 --> 02:10:56.840
well, you know, I don't
know, maybe enhanced SD. Why don't

1964
02:10:56.840 --> 02:11:01.199
we look at it in SD and
then we see things we like, we

1965
02:11:01.279 --> 02:11:03.279
can flag those and go like,
we would like to see this in a

1966
02:11:03.319 --> 02:11:07.439
higher resolution, thank you, and
then use that to inform the algorithm that

1967
02:11:07.520 --> 02:11:11.600
doesn't in anyp man and then move
that up to four K. How is

1968
02:11:11.640 --> 02:11:15.199
somebody just not doing this already?
I know somebody probably is. This is

1969
02:11:15.239 --> 02:11:18.039
how people predict the stock market,
right, Yeah, they'd altern their TVs

1970
02:11:18.079 --> 02:11:22.479
on to different channels and then just
go random. Yeah, and it's like,

1971
02:11:22.880 --> 02:11:26.680
I think that looked like apple stock. That guy looked really happy.

1972
02:11:26.840 --> 02:11:30.000
I love it. But we don't
know if it took place in the past

1973
02:11:30.039 --> 02:11:33.000
of the future. He just had
a big goofy mustache, so there's no

1974
02:11:33.079 --> 02:11:35.680
way of knowing. You think you
would be. Could you get charged with

1975
02:11:35.760 --> 02:11:39.560
bootlegging movies? If you bootleg the
movie before the movies even concepted or created,

1976
02:11:41.159 --> 02:11:46.000
then they're bootlegging you. Huge crime. If I just have all the

1977
02:11:46.119 --> 02:11:48.560
cogs, if I have all the
frames from everything, and I'm like and

1978
02:11:48.600 --> 02:11:52.079
then post them to Twitter, and
then you'll get shut down. But I

1979
02:11:52.239 --> 02:11:58.359
had it before you even thought of
this movie. Take that TV, write

1980
02:11:58.359 --> 02:12:05.239
your name on it, dropic mailbox
yourself's copyright works. Yeah, Chris and

1981
02:12:05.279 --> 02:12:09.399
Florida Right Santa says the rise of
the quick Look has gotten a ton of

1982
02:12:09.439 --> 02:12:13.279
attention in gaming meta news. There's
talk all day about the way these videos

1983
02:12:13.319 --> 02:12:16.199
have democratized the game reviews and now
publishers react to them, et cetera.

1984
02:12:16.720 --> 02:12:18.960
I was curious about where you guys, what you guys think about where the

1985
02:12:20.079 --> 02:12:22.560
written review fits in all of this. As someone who usually prefers written content

1986
02:12:22.640 --> 02:12:26.720
to videos, I worry that the
market for text based criticism is shrinking.

1987
02:12:26.039 --> 02:12:30.319
Do you think that's the case.
Are things shifting more towards the long form

1988
02:12:30.399 --> 02:12:33.600
write ups that Patrick does from time
to time? Wait? Think, yeah,

1989
02:12:35.560 --> 02:12:37.319
yeah, I think yeah, I
think there'll be an outlet for that

1990
02:12:37.399 --> 02:12:43.439
stuff. But I think the big
box stores will want the video, you

1991
02:12:43.560 --> 02:12:48.000
know, sure, Yeah, I
think I think. I don't know if

1992
02:12:48.000 --> 02:12:50.159
I don't know if it's going away
or you're just having more video and more

1993
02:12:50.239 --> 02:12:54.399
writing. I don't know. I
think you have more video and a little

1994
02:12:54.399 --> 02:12:58.960
bit less writing. That's my gut
feeling on it. Says that I don't

1995
02:12:58.000 --> 02:13:01.159
know that for sure, but well, it depends on what you count is

1996
02:13:01.199 --> 02:13:05.319
writing. If you're looking for reviews
specifically just a text review, Yeah,

1997
02:13:05.520 --> 02:13:09.399
and like, what is your criteria
for what is a professional text review?

1998
02:13:09.439 --> 02:13:11.760
Are you looking at sites that are
on Metacritic or you know, how are

1999
02:13:11.800 --> 02:13:15.479
you filtering that list and stuff.
If you're just like you know, people

2000
02:13:15.600 --> 02:13:18.000
writing about games. There are blogs, like people, people are on Twitter

2001
02:13:18.039 --> 02:13:22.039
all the time, like there's constantly
someone complaining about something relating to video games.

2002
02:13:22.760 --> 02:13:28.800
Sometimes it's even the quality of the
video games themselves. Yeah, yeah,

2003
02:13:28.920 --> 02:13:31.079
I don't know. Yeah, I
don't know this. This is something

2004
02:13:31.079 --> 02:13:35.359
i'mind of. It is very like
in the moment though, like it is

2005
02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:39.279
a lot of at least what I
search for with video games. It's like

2006
02:13:39.399 --> 02:13:45.479
old stuff and that's what written reviews
are great for. Yeah, so I

2007
02:13:45.800 --> 02:13:48.800
guess it will be harder ten years
from now for people to pull out some

2008
02:13:48.960 --> 02:13:54.159
of our opinions on games because a
lot of them are minutes of this podcast

2009
02:13:56.159 --> 02:13:58.199
where we sort of shrug and look
at each other, go yeah, whatever,

2010
02:13:58.359 --> 02:14:01.720
and then move on to the next
game. It's really insightful. Yeah,

2011
02:14:01.720 --> 02:14:05.319
I think there's there's still a place
for like a proper written review.

2012
02:14:05.399 --> 02:14:11.000
The formality of it, I think
says that this is a complete thought about

2013
02:14:11.039 --> 02:14:13.000
this game, as opposed to you
know, like a quick look or a

2014
02:14:13.039 --> 02:14:16.520
video or something like that where it's
like, here, we're kind of reacting

2015
02:14:16.560 --> 02:14:18.279
to this part of the game.
Yeah, sort of an ongoing discussion,

2016
02:14:18.439 --> 02:14:20.439
yeah, or you know, on
a podcast, like, hey, I

2017
02:14:20.520 --> 02:14:22.560
played this over the weekend, and
here's what I think about it right now.

2018
02:14:22.600 --> 02:14:24.920
But I'm finished it yet, Like
you know, these are a little

2019
02:14:24.960 --> 02:14:30.880
more ephemeral in nature, and I
think that's sort of by design. So

2020
02:14:31.079 --> 02:14:33.000
the written review is a little more
formalized, Yeah, a little more academic.

2021
02:14:33.239 --> 02:14:39.119
There for a reason, and whether
that reason is viable anymore, I

2022
02:14:39.199 --> 02:14:43.319
think it's the larger thing is like, do people still want that? I

2023
02:14:43.479 --> 02:14:46.119
kind of do, but I just
kind of like it's weird as a video

2024
02:14:46.159 --> 02:14:48.560
guy, but I just like reading
stuff, you know, Like I just

2025
02:14:48.640 --> 02:14:52.159
like it because you look at video
all day. Maybe, like man,

2026
02:14:52.199 --> 02:14:54.439
I just want to also, I
think that, you know, the different

2027
02:14:54.520 --> 02:15:01.600
ways we consume content, like that
stuff's changed, Like they're definitely still that

2028
02:15:01.000 --> 02:15:05.720
that notion of like someone's on a
train, for example, and they want

2029
02:15:05.760 --> 02:15:09.560
to read something on their phone,
and you could certainly watch videos there too,

2030
02:15:09.920 --> 02:15:13.560
but then you're like, I gotta
get my headphones out otherwise I'm that

2031
02:15:13.600 --> 02:15:16.960
asshole who's like and it's gonna buffer
forever singles bad. Yeah, you know,

2032
02:15:18.199 --> 02:15:22.119
but usually pull down an article Regardless
of that, I can consume them

2033
02:15:22.239 --> 02:15:24.800
sailing points faster. Write an article
like especially on news sites, right,

2034
02:15:24.880 --> 02:15:28.119
this is I just want to read
it. Anytime it comes up with the

2035
02:15:28.199 --> 02:15:31.560
video, I'm going to another source. That's true. Smilarly similar thing.

2036
02:15:31.600 --> 02:15:35.119
This is getting a little off topic, but the similar thing for looking up

2037
02:15:35.159 --> 02:15:37.880
either tips for games or just kind
of how two's on anything, Like if

2038
02:15:37.880 --> 02:15:41.960
the information you're looking for can be
summarized in like three sentences, please don't

2039
02:15:41.000 --> 02:15:45.560
put it in a YouTube video,
especially a YouTube video that displays those three

2040
02:15:45.640 --> 02:15:48.000
sentences on screen. But but just
don't make me scrub through a five minute

2041
02:15:48.079 --> 02:15:52.800
video looking for the information that you
can summarize in a very small space,

2042
02:15:52.960 --> 02:15:56.199
Like if I like write it out
if the headline is on a like dog

2043
02:15:56.319 --> 02:15:58.079
explodes in Minnesota, and then I
click in it's a video, Like,

2044
02:15:58.479 --> 02:16:01.720
no, no, I need a
text. I need to find out exactly

2045
02:16:01.840 --> 02:16:03.880
what the fuck happened, because you're
you're writing your headlines to grab people,

2046
02:16:03.960 --> 02:16:05.960
right, It's like get me in
there, and like I need to skim

2047
02:16:07.039 --> 02:16:09.439
this article to see what I'm getting
into real quick. Uh, not a

2048
02:16:09.600 --> 02:16:13.680
video now, I hate auto playing
videos in that situation too. Yeah,

2049
02:16:13.000 --> 02:16:18.720
that's a that's always and adds and
everything. I hate everything. I hate

2050
02:16:18.720 --> 02:16:20.520
everything. How about that? I
just read the comments find out where's the

2051
02:16:20.520 --> 02:16:24.439
real story. I just get a
newspaper. Yeah, totally see. That's

2052
02:16:24.439 --> 02:16:31.720
where the real insight lies. Is
a little below the full the vox populi.

2053
02:16:31.040 --> 02:16:35.319
Yeah, I need to know what
did they think of this? I

2054
02:16:35.399 --> 02:16:37.559
didn't like it? Oh weird,
weird. Well, that guy's science checks

2055
02:16:37.600 --> 02:16:41.479
out more than the actual science.
That happen, right, Yeah, who

2056
02:16:41.520 --> 02:16:48.239
watches the watchers? The commenters?
That's Brian in New York says, I

2057
02:16:48.319 --> 02:16:52.239
have a Dark Souls two platform dilemma. I'd prefer to play on PC,

2058
02:16:52.360 --> 02:16:54.840
but I'm afraid of missing that early
adopter exploration feeling with the delayed release.

2059
02:16:56.040 --> 02:16:58.639
Do you think it's worth worth it
to dig out my PS three to be

2060
02:16:58.680 --> 02:17:00.639
there on day one? What are
you guys gonna? Do you guys gonna

2061
02:17:00.920 --> 02:17:03.040
We've talked about this a lot.
Yeah, I mean day one is day

2062
02:17:03.079 --> 02:17:05.559
one, there's no getting around it. Yeah, by the time PC version

2063
02:17:05.639 --> 02:17:09.360
comes out. So do we have
a copy in here yet if you guys

2064
02:17:09.360 --> 02:17:11.840
started messing with it, Yeah,
we've got debug versions, but we've played

2065
02:17:11.879 --> 02:17:13.440
other stuff, and at this point, retails are supposed to show up any

2066
02:17:13.479 --> 02:17:18.159
day. We've talked Kevin about it
a good bit today. Yeah, but

2067
02:17:18.239 --> 02:17:24.200
we can't talk about this stuff in
the on the lobby today. Well yeah

2068
02:17:24.280 --> 02:17:26.120
it was Yeah, it was some
stuff. It was the same stuff we

2069
02:17:26.159 --> 02:17:28.799
played at that event. Yeah,
we talked about that in our Character Creator

2070
02:17:28.840 --> 02:17:31.639
and it seems pretty nice. So
the Uh, it's still unclear to me

2071
02:17:31.760 --> 02:17:35.760
that the April twenty fifth date was
floating around late last week for the PC

2072
02:17:35.959 --> 02:17:41.520
version, which a lot of sites
seemed to report as the date, but

2073
02:17:41.600 --> 02:17:45.440
then like Namco's Twitter account said,
we're not announcing anything at this time.

2074
02:17:46.879 --> 02:17:48.280
It's not clear to me if that
I think that leaked out of retailers or

2075
02:17:48.319 --> 02:17:52.120
something like that. Yeah, yeah, well like Destination PlayStation just happened well

2076
02:17:52.120 --> 02:17:56.159
that they wouldn't have a PC date
there never mind. But yeah, yeah,

2077
02:17:56.159 --> 02:17:58.159
I'm not I'm not sure where that
information came from and whether that's hard

2078
02:18:00.239 --> 02:18:03.959
you know, if that's firm or
whatever, right, But regardless, I

2079
02:18:03.000 --> 02:18:05.600
mean, like even a week after
that game is out, there's gonna be

2080
02:18:05.600 --> 02:18:09.360
all kinds of stuff floating around out
there. So I was really solid in

2081
02:18:09.479 --> 02:18:13.200
the I have a pre order for
the p S three version, like very

2082
02:18:13.280 --> 02:18:15.280
much in the camp of like I
kind of want to play this along with

2083
02:18:15.360 --> 02:18:18.799
the community and see what's going on. But after playing, after seeing the

2084
02:18:18.920 --> 02:18:22.360
difference of Lords of Shadow two on
the PC versus what it was on the

2085
02:18:22.399 --> 02:18:28.920
PS three, that is a significant
leap, Like that made the games sim

2086
02:18:28.000 --> 02:18:31.879
playing on there's no guarantee that,
no, but PC version of Dark Souls

2087
02:18:31.920 --> 02:18:35.639
two is gonna be great. You're
right, there's no guarantee. But they

2088
02:18:35.959 --> 02:18:39.760
they in a very self aware manner. They swore up and down it would

2089
02:18:39.760 --> 02:18:41.479
not be a repeat of the situation
with the first one. Okay, they

2090
02:18:41.520 --> 02:18:46.159
seem very cognizant of the failures of
that first PC port, Yeah, which

2091
02:18:46.200 --> 02:18:48.079
are huge, Like that's a terrible
port. But even those first two games,

2092
02:18:48.120 --> 02:18:52.520
Demon Souls and Dark Souls did not
play exceptionally well in parts like very

2093
02:18:52.799 --> 02:18:56.159
very spotty frame rates and yeah,
and some of that stuff we played on

2094
02:18:56.200 --> 02:19:01.520
the PS three of Dark Souls two
with that defensive ran poorly. So definitely

2095
02:19:01.799 --> 02:19:05.079
it shook my faith a little bit
of like, maybe I would rather play

2096
02:19:05.159 --> 02:19:09.120
this on a PC. I forgot
what a PS three game can look like

2097
02:19:09.360 --> 02:19:13.399
versus a modern car power cell processor. Yeah, it's easy to develop for

2098
02:19:13.559 --> 02:19:16.920
everyone knows those consoles are getting stretched
way beyond their limits at this point.

2099
02:19:18.000 --> 02:19:20.000
Like there's some beautiful art design and
dark Souls too. You're just from even

2100
02:19:20.040 --> 02:19:24.399
the early areas that we saw,
Like it's gonna look fantastic, hopefully on

2101
02:19:24.479 --> 02:19:28.399
a PC running better than looking sharper. But but yeah, like if you

2102
02:19:28.479 --> 02:19:31.440
want to be radp somehow, there's
like, yeah, we've decided this is

2103
02:19:31.479 --> 02:19:33.360
how we got it down. Figure
we'd lock it here. We want everyone

2104
02:19:33.360 --> 02:19:37.200
to have the same experience. What
you guys want to report? Oh,

2105
02:19:39.520 --> 02:19:41.520
I don't fine, I don't know
how to please you guys. Fine,

2106
02:19:41.600 --> 02:19:46.440
whatever, don't play it. I
guess no Dark Soul three you motherfucker's Uh

2107
02:19:46.719 --> 02:19:52.200
here's another anonymous email. Hey,
guys, I want to run this by

2108
02:19:52.799 --> 02:19:56.200
Jeff, I know has a dislike
of marketers in general. I don't know

2109
02:19:56.239 --> 02:20:01.680
that. I said, well,
maybe marketing marketers they're just people, monsters

2110
02:20:01.760 --> 02:20:05.879
to a job, just doing a
job. But let's just say I'm currently

2111
02:20:05.000 --> 02:20:09.280
working with a pizza company close to
Jeff's heart. It starts with a D

2112
02:20:11.360 --> 02:20:13.639
I don't know, on a marketing
campaign, and I wondered what you guys

2113
02:20:13.680 --> 02:20:16.600
would think you would want to do
the budget is two hundred and fifty thousand

2114
02:20:16.600 --> 02:20:20.000
dollars with a reach across America.
Budget can't allow TV. What would you

2115
02:20:20.079 --> 02:20:24.360
try? You had to spend two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to get the

2116
02:20:24.399 --> 02:20:31.559
word out about pizza? Yeah,
what would I do? And two fifties

2117
02:20:31.639 --> 02:20:35.920
not that much when I'm thinking about
a big advertising campaign. Yeah, it's

2118
02:20:37.000 --> 02:20:43.440
kind of not. That's like display
ads on gaming websites. Yeah, for

2119
02:20:43.799 --> 02:20:46.520
a little while, like not that's
I'll say, let's say I don't understand

2120
02:20:46.559 --> 02:20:50.040
money, and okay, yeah,
all right, great, would do?

2121
02:20:50.120 --> 02:20:50.600
Well? What would I do?
What would you What would you do if

2122
02:20:50.639 --> 02:20:58.719
you're trying to market pizza. I'd
go to countries that have never had pizza,

2123
02:20:58.959 --> 02:21:03.799
okay, and say in America this
is considered gourmet food. What do

2124
02:21:03.920 --> 02:21:07.440
you think? And then feed them
and give them a slice of pizza on

2125
02:21:07.520 --> 02:21:11.799
like a very presented all nice yeah, get it out of the cardboard box,

2126
02:21:11.840 --> 02:21:13.680
put it on a nice plate.
Uh and see, oh yeah I

2127
02:21:13.760 --> 02:21:16.719
understand why Yeah, no, this
is it's just like hundreds of dollars of

2128
02:21:16.760 --> 02:21:20.959
plate Like no, it's thousands,
like that kind of level of and in

2129
02:21:20.000 --> 02:21:24.959
the end like just like just kidding
it's four dollars. It's it's only four

2130
02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:28.479
dollars unless you want it delivered.
It's your weekly income. And then right,

2131
02:21:28.600 --> 02:21:33.319
yeah, yeah exactly. We know. I would go to like weird

2132
02:21:33.399 --> 02:21:37.840
places that there's no technology, war
torn countries in the middle of popping with

2133
02:21:37.959 --> 02:21:41.159
pizza and go, we think,
but deliver it to the war like in

2134
02:21:41.239 --> 02:21:43.760
a car with deliver it to the
front. Yeah, let's get out of

2135
02:21:43.799 --> 02:21:46.319
the car to get the hell out
of there. Uh yeah, I would.

2136
02:21:46.399 --> 02:21:50.719
I would. Uh. I would
build a pizza launcher, yes,

2137
02:21:50.040 --> 02:21:56.040
that launches the pizza out of like
a disc launcher and kind of just yeah,

2138
02:21:56.360 --> 02:21:58.639
and then I would drive around,
would be a college tour and we

2139
02:21:58.680 --> 02:22:03.760
would the back of a pickup truck
with the pizza launcher just shooting pizzas at

2140
02:22:03.799 --> 02:22:09.200
people. Okay, your hands are
arranged, like but you're trying to that

2141
02:22:09.440 --> 02:22:15.479
that device in American glatty ors shoots
tennis balls. Yeah exactly, that heads

2142
02:22:15.559 --> 02:22:18.479
up your cons are siren on the
car and just getting hit with a pizza.

2143
02:22:18.680 --> 02:22:20.399
No, I've got you know,
I've got a bullhorn and I'm shouting,

2144
02:22:20.479 --> 02:22:26.920
look out, motherfucker's it's pizza.
You know. It's like I don't

2145
02:22:26.920 --> 02:22:30.440
think that's the noise pizza would make
when it could. It could, Yeah,

2146
02:22:33.360 --> 02:22:39.719
breaking the Congress and deliver pizza storm, one of those like CNBC ors,

2147
02:22:39.959 --> 02:22:43.479
you know, just C span the
C span, just time it right,

2148
02:22:43.600 --> 02:22:46.239
just shouting nine ELEVENE was inside job. This pizza is delicious, and

2149
02:22:46.280 --> 02:22:50.600
then run out. It'll probably cost
most of the budget. Yeah, maybe

2150
02:22:52.079 --> 02:22:58.479
maybe the jail time, legal fees. You would need a viral marketing firm

2151
02:22:58.520 --> 02:23:01.799
that would be willing to do the
stretch. Yeah. In that case,

2152
02:23:01.000 --> 02:23:05.399
like I have to sneak in as
a senator and then rip off my suit

2153
02:23:05.520 --> 02:23:09.000
and I'm really a pizza delivery guy. Yeah. No, you know what

2154
02:23:09.000 --> 02:23:11.920
I would do. I would bring
back the Nooid. I would buy a

2155
02:23:13.040 --> 02:23:16.600
hundred copies of Yo Noid off of
eBay and then give them away to contest

2156
02:23:16.639 --> 02:23:20.879
winners. You have won a classic
piece of let's say it was Dominant.

2157
02:23:20.000 --> 02:23:24.280
Let's say we're talking about Dominan.
I don't really like that one, but

2158
02:23:24.399 --> 02:23:26.719
if it were Dominoes, Yeah,
I would give out copies of Yo Nooid

2159
02:23:26.840 --> 02:23:35.719
and say the pizza is better than
this game was. People. I would

2160
02:23:35.719 --> 02:23:37.040
bring back the Noid. I would
bring back the Noid in some capacity,

2161
02:23:37.120 --> 02:23:41.520
including giving out copies of the old
Assnoid game. I would, uh go

2162
02:23:41.639 --> 02:23:45.639
get the rights from Capcom. What
are you gonna do with the rest of

2163
02:23:45.680 --> 02:23:48.200
your two? And then on my
website's like, let's say I had a

2164
02:23:50.239 --> 02:23:54.520
pizza tracker on my website that people
had time to kill before pizza was delivered.

2165
02:23:54.799 --> 02:23:56.440
One of those skins would be like, here, play Yo Nooid for

2166
02:23:56.479 --> 02:24:01.200
the NES while you wait for this
pizza. The pizza will be better than

2167
02:24:01.280 --> 02:24:05.520
this game. You'd have to get
it from Capcom because hey, they made

2168
02:24:05.559 --> 02:24:07.559
it, but also they made it
as a different game in Japan and reskinned

2169
02:24:07.559 --> 02:24:11.120
it with Annoyed for the US.
You want only just make a new Annoid

2170
02:24:11.200 --> 02:24:15.000
game. I would eventually want to
make a new Annoid game. He's saying,

2171
02:24:15.040 --> 02:24:16.440
this is the start. Yeah,
okay, yeah yeah, phase one

2172
02:24:16.879 --> 02:24:20.760
of our rollout, of our Annoyed
rollout. Think about Jack in the box

2173
02:24:20.799 --> 02:24:22.479
when they brought back Jack. Yeah. Uh, you know, they had

2174
02:24:22.520 --> 02:24:26.440
a whole like Jack's Back campaign,
this whole huge thing. I bring back

2175
02:24:26.440 --> 02:24:31.280
the Nooid and say you need to
continue to avoid him, but also he's

2176
02:24:31.280 --> 02:24:35.079
an okay guy. Either that or
I'd make then Nooids super dark and he's

2177
02:24:35.120 --> 02:24:37.200
murdering people for their pizza, you
know, one one or the other,

2178
02:24:37.799 --> 02:24:39.719
making pizza out of people. Yeah, but that's why you gotta stop him.

2179
02:24:39.799 --> 02:24:41.879
Yeah, you gotta avoid him,
because he's going to make you into

2180
02:24:41.920 --> 02:24:46.520
a pizza I'd paid, So he's
going to be driving around your fucking college

2181
02:24:46.559 --> 02:24:50.520
campuses, launching pizzas at you out
of a fucking pizza gun. I try

2182
02:24:50.559 --> 02:24:54.079
and pay somebody like Drew to try
and sail across the Atlantic in a boat

2183
02:24:54.120 --> 02:24:58.280
made of my pizza. Man,
there you go, all right, it's

2184
02:24:58.280 --> 02:25:01.879
easy. Yeah, this actually free. All right, Yeah, all right,

2185
02:25:01.920 --> 02:25:05.719
now we're just marketing consultants, and
now we I think by law you

2186
02:25:05.840 --> 02:25:09.559
need to send us seventy five percent
of that budget. Yeah, or the

2187
02:25:09.760 --> 02:25:13.959
idea, guys, or pizzas for
life, one can dream, kitch.

2188
02:25:15.920 --> 02:25:18.879
I don't want money, I just
any I just wanted free pizza, just

2189
02:25:18.079 --> 02:25:22.680
I just I don't even want just
open one in my area. Give me

2190
02:25:22.799 --> 02:25:26.000
the option. I don't want free
pizza for life, because that's a death

2191
02:25:26.079 --> 02:25:28.719
sentence. No, I just want
anytime. I just punch in this code

2192
02:25:28.760 --> 02:25:35.079
and pizza shows up. No tip
either, They'll let that that's taken care

2193
02:25:35.120 --> 02:25:39.719
of. No, money, I
would be okay with would be something nice

2194
02:25:39.719 --> 02:25:45.920
about just the pizza gets set down, that guy gets a tip from somewhere,

2195
02:25:46.040 --> 02:25:48.200
just not for me. It's it's
built into the thing, a great

2196
02:25:48.280 --> 02:25:56.120
tip. Yeah, well twenty five, twenty five, it would be well,

2197
02:25:56.200 --> 02:25:58.360
yeah, I'm usually ordering a lot
of pizza, so yeah, it's

2198
02:25:58.360 --> 02:26:03.719
a good tip. Okay, Ben
and Toledo. How about if the delivery

2199
02:26:03.799 --> 02:26:07.760
guy, one delivery guy gets a
tip of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

2200
02:26:07.040 --> 02:26:11.520
that's your campaign, Yeah, secret
tip. But then if that you

2201
02:26:11.600 --> 02:26:13.879
spend all the budget on it,
you have no way to tell people that

2202
02:26:13.959 --> 02:26:16.360
you did that. You would need
a TV ad to say, like we

2203
02:26:18.319 --> 02:26:20.799
I didn't think this all the way
through. Okay, okay, okay,

2204
02:26:20.799 --> 02:26:24.360
all right, all right, didn't
say we were good idea guys, Ben

2205
02:26:24.440 --> 02:26:28.559
from Toledo rites and it says my
PS three has died. It was one

2206
02:26:28.559 --> 02:26:31.639
of the originals with the backwards compatibility. After several attempts to fix the console,

2207
02:26:31.680 --> 02:26:33.040
I finally called it. However,
looking at the future, I'm now

2208
02:26:33.120 --> 02:26:35.799
left asking myself do I get another
PS three or should I roll into the

2209
02:26:35.799 --> 02:26:39.120
new generation with a PS four?
Can you help me make a decision A

2210
02:26:39.159 --> 02:26:45.280
good question. Here are some bullet
points. There are still great games on

2211
02:26:45.319 --> 02:26:48.040
the PS three. I would rather
play new games on the next generation system.

2212
02:26:48.280 --> 02:26:52.159
I have a pretty top notch PC
that I prefer over most else.

2213
02:26:52.559 --> 02:26:56.319
There can only be one, and
his final bullet point is Dark Souls two.

2214
02:26:58.840 --> 02:27:03.239
I guess if you don't mind,
if you're if you want stuff day

2215
02:27:03.280 --> 02:27:05.040
one, that maybe changes things.
But you see, if you have the

2216
02:27:05.079 --> 02:27:09.680
PC, maybe the PS four is
the better. If well, I don't

2217
02:27:11.600 --> 02:27:13.479
last thing you want to play on
a PS three, I would not buy

2218
02:27:13.479 --> 02:27:16.360
another PS three. I would just
grit my teeth and wait for the PC

2219
02:27:16.520 --> 02:27:18.120
release with it. Yeah. Maybe. Also, I feel like, you

2220
02:27:18.200 --> 02:27:22.559
know, like you're if you already
have a really built PC, you're kind

2221
02:27:22.600 --> 02:27:24.319
of just saying like, I want
to play first party game, right,

2222
02:27:24.520 --> 02:27:28.600
And I don't know that Sony does
not have a ton of PS three first

2223
02:27:28.639 --> 02:27:31.399
party stuff game, you know,
first first party games coming out. I

2224
02:27:31.479 --> 02:27:33.719
came to that realization as I was
saying that, yeah, yeah, and

2225
02:27:33.840 --> 02:27:37.639
I you know, I don't know, Sony's first party stuff has never been

2226
02:27:37.600 --> 02:27:43.000
Yeah, my favorite stuff probably kind
of the stuff they make is my favorite

2227
02:27:43.000 --> 02:27:46.719
stuff. And I would still say
hold off, even even the PS four,

2228
02:27:46.040 --> 02:27:50.239
like, yeah, maybe not on
know that you necessarily need to run

2229
02:27:50.280 --> 02:27:52.520
out and buy a new console if
you've got a good PC right now,

2230
02:27:52.840 --> 02:27:56.079
right, I would say, find
a friend who has a PS three and

2231
02:27:56.239 --> 02:27:58.159
borrow it when Dark Souls two comes
out, because most of your friends won't

2232
02:27:58.159 --> 02:28:03.159
play it because it's Dark Souls too
an option. Yeah, I don't know.

2233
02:28:03.239 --> 02:28:09.239
That's a tough one. Yeah.
I would say the same thing about

2234
02:28:09.239 --> 02:28:13.159
an Xbox One as well, so
it's not just PS four, get a

2235
02:28:13.200 --> 02:28:16.799
wee. You know they're selling like
hockeys. Yeah, they're just flying off

2236
02:28:16.799 --> 02:28:20.799
the shelves. Yeah, I don't
know. I might just kind of wait

2237
02:28:20.840 --> 02:28:26.200
off a little bit. Yeah,
but whatever, you got the money and

2238
02:28:26.239 --> 02:28:28.840
you're like fuck it. Yes,
I would probably get a PS four at

2239
02:28:28.879 --> 02:28:33.000
that point because it will continue to
have games for years and years and years.

2240
02:28:33.879 --> 02:28:37.159
Unless you have a ton of PS
three games that you think you might

2241
02:28:37.200 --> 02:28:39.479
want to play again someday and don't
currently have a way to play them.

2242
02:28:39.600 --> 02:28:43.600
But you might just wait off until
PS three's get really cheap, I don't

2243
02:28:43.600 --> 02:28:46.120
know, or for the HD version, come to the pure Yeah. Yeah,

2244
02:28:48.479 --> 02:28:52.200
and our last question here, uh, David Wrightsonen says I'm curious.

2245
02:28:54.239 --> 02:28:56.479
Even though playing video games for a
living sounds like the ultimate job, I

2246
02:28:56.600 --> 02:28:58.680
know there's more to it than that. Of course, you must get into

2247
02:28:58.680 --> 02:29:03.719
situations occasionally when someone asks you what
you do and you don't necessarily want to

2248
02:29:03.840 --> 02:29:07.719
tell them, or do you.
My question is this, if you're at

2249
02:29:07.760 --> 02:29:11.200
a party with your significant other or
some classy event and someone asks you what

2250
02:29:11.319 --> 02:29:13.840
you do for a living, do
you tell them the truth or do you

2251
02:29:13.959 --> 02:29:20.520
spin the answer and say something else
like I'm a writer. Thanks. Uh.

2252
02:29:20.959 --> 02:29:24.440
I feel like I used to yeah, and I used to have to

2253
02:29:24.559 --> 02:29:28.319
explain. Yeah, that was And
it wasn't like any kind of shame.

2254
02:29:28.399 --> 02:29:31.239
It was just like, I don't
feel like explaining this weird fucking job anymore.

2255
02:29:31.479 --> 02:29:35.280
It's it's so it takes so much
expos Yeah, normal people don't have

2256
02:29:35.319 --> 02:29:37.840
a frame of reference for what this
weird job is. Well, they usually

2257
02:29:37.879 --> 02:29:41.760
think you make video games, right, That's pretty much what it. Yeah.

2258
02:29:41.799 --> 02:29:45.719
I started saying, we cover the
video game industry. Yeah, yeah,

2259
02:29:46.079 --> 02:29:48.200
because if they say yeah, if
you say video game website, they

2260
02:29:48.280 --> 02:29:52.920
think, oh, so like Farmville, yep, that's us. You want

2261
02:29:52.959 --> 02:29:56.079
more cows? I can? I
can? I can literally grab my phone,

2262
02:29:56.120 --> 02:29:58.280
click a button, and you can
have a billing. Cows. I

2263
02:29:58.399 --> 02:30:01.399
used to say it was like e
but like video games, but nobody knows

2264
02:30:01.440 --> 02:30:05.559
what that is anymore. So you're
like a reality show. Yeah kind of

2265
02:30:05.680 --> 02:30:09.200
yeah, kind of a right,
kind of like a party drug. Yes,

2266
02:30:09.360 --> 02:30:16.079
yeah, we touch everything just quickly
though. Yeah, the wall feels

2267
02:30:16.120 --> 02:30:20.920
great. That's what's sound baffling.
I don't go to I don't meet new

2268
02:30:20.959 --> 02:30:22.520
people, so it's not a problem
anymore. No, Yeah, problem solved.

2269
02:30:22.680 --> 02:30:26.120
Yeah, I just took that,
took myself out of the loop.

2270
02:30:26.280 --> 02:30:33.079
Yes. Uh. Someone I know
started her shorthand for it was she would

2271
02:30:33.120 --> 02:30:35.479
say that I'm the Roger Ebert of
video games, which I was like,

2272
02:30:35.559 --> 02:30:39.559
oh, well thanks, but yeah, I would never say okay, thank

2273
02:30:39.600 --> 02:30:46.239
you, which which video games?
Yeah, I wouldn't. I would necessarily

2274
02:30:46.479 --> 02:30:48.399
spell it out like that. But
that was actually a very effective way for

2275
02:30:48.479 --> 02:30:52.399
people to go like, oh okay, yeah, or game critic, not

2276
02:30:52.559 --> 02:30:56.760
that I'm like reviewing games on a
regular basis much these days, but it's

2277
02:30:56.799 --> 02:31:03.120
really a shorthand. Yes, it
was really affect shorthand. So I guess

2278
02:31:03.159 --> 02:31:05.440
go with that. Have someone with
you who will say that, because when

2279
02:31:05.440 --> 02:31:11.200
you say it you probably look like
a well it's you know, I work

2280
02:31:11.280 --> 02:31:16.319
for CBS. Maybe you've heard of
it. Yeah, oh what do you

2281
02:31:16.479 --> 02:31:18.399
what do you do there? I
don't really like to talk about it,

2282
02:31:18.520 --> 02:31:22.479
but so like a janitor, then
big, well, well let's just say

2283
02:31:22.520 --> 02:31:28.000
we clean up? Wink? Oh
what do you do? That's what I

2284
02:31:28.120 --> 02:31:31.840
usually say? Nothing much? What
do you do? I sell angel dust?

2285
02:31:31.200 --> 02:31:37.159
That's cool? Yeah, how is
that? It's blowing up, it's

2286
02:31:37.280 --> 02:31:41.399
running, motherfucker, it's picking up
dumpsters and throwing them to people. That's

2287
02:31:41.440 --> 02:31:46.079
it for emails. That's all we
got. So, hey, you know

2288
02:31:46.159 --> 02:31:52.840
what's next week? What video games? Yeah? So Dark Souls is out

2289
02:31:52.879 --> 02:31:54.319
next week? Also yep, it's
like that, and Titan Fall yep,

2290
02:31:54.479 --> 02:32:00.879
yep. And The Stick of Truth
out today. Yeah, so I think

2291
02:32:01.280 --> 02:32:03.920
I think I might play that.
Yeah, you should should definitely try it.

2292
02:32:03.120 --> 02:32:05.479
Man, if you've been if you've
been away from south Park for a

2293
02:32:05.520 --> 02:32:09.639
long time, like a long time, Yeah, it's worth check it out

2294
02:32:09.959 --> 02:32:13.200
just to see if it draws you
back in. Yeah I laughed. Yeah,

2295
02:32:13.680 --> 02:32:16.840
okay, it's it's quite funny.
And then you know, InTru south

2296
02:32:16.879 --> 02:32:20.280

it, and then it's like you know

2297
02:32:20.360 --> 02:32:24.239
what, that's just funny. That's
just funny. Right, that's just wrong.

2298
02:32:24.239 --> 02:32:28.000
Oh man, this is wrong.
That's wrong. That's wrong. I

2299
02:32:28.159 --> 02:32:33.920
won't be right. That's wrong.
That's part kind of too. You know,

2300
02:32:33.399 --> 02:32:41.479
it's funny because it's true. See
